Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Does It Hurt? Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Does It Hurt? Song Xuan arrived swiftly.

In the morning, not long after arriving at the film set, she was drawn by a commotion. Shen Yan and Li Yanbai had just finished shooting their scene and came out, only to see Song Xuan standing there, smiling at them.

Shen Yan felt Li Yanbai stiffen beside her, so she took the initiative to greet Song Xuan first, “Mr. Song!”

“Shen Yan, long time no see!”

“Long time no see.”

After exchanging greetings with Song Xuan, Shen Yan turned to get busy, leaving the two of them to their conversation.

Director Chen seemed to know they were old friends and didn’t go over to disturb them.

Later, Li Yanbai returned to the set to immerse himself in his work, while Song Xuan continued to watch from the sidelines.

During both lunch and dinner, Shen Yan saw Song Xuan, who said she had come to visit her, but only during meal times did Song Xuan greet her; the rest of the time, she was with Li Yanbai.

After Shen Yan had finished her night scenes, Song Xuan was still at the film set.

“Does Mr. Song have a place to stay? There should still be vacant rooms in our hotel, do you want to go with me?” Shen Yan walked over and called out to Song Xuan.

Song Xuan thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded: “I came straight here after getting off the plane and indeed forgot to book accommodation.”

With that, she left with Shen Yan.

In the car,

Song Xuan picked a few topics to discuss with Shen Yan on the way.

When they reached the hotel, Shen Yan accompanied Song Xuan to the front desk to book a room.

Song Xuan was sizing up Shen Yan all this time, until they entered the elevator, she was still looking at her.

Shen Yan turned around to meet Song Xuan’s gaze: “Mr. Song?”

“Shen Yan, what do you think of Li Yanbai?”

“Mr. Li is very nice, he takes good care of those junior to him,” Shen Yan, not knowing why Song Xuan suddenly asked this, still answered.

Song Xuan laughed: “He’s just like that, an old softie. Shen Yan, Li Yanbai sometimes just doesn’t know how to express his feelings. I am his friend and know him very well.”

“Why are you telling me these things, Mr. Song?”

Song Xuan: “He treats you a little differently…”

Shen Yan stared at her and cut her off: “Mr. Song, since you understand him, you should know who he likes. What right do you have to push him towards me?”

Song Xuan’s smiling face suddenly disappeared, her body tensing.

With a “ding,” the floor where Song Xuan was staying arrived.

Song Xuan walked out stiffly.

“Have a good rest, Mr. Song,” Shen Yan said, and then she pressed the elevator close button.

Xiao Zhao stood beside, not daring to utter a word.

The next day, Song Xuan followed everyone to the film set again, and Director Chen invited her to make a cameo appearance as a minor character, to which Song Xuan gladly agreed.

Today, in the several scenes, Shen Yan and Li Yanbai were playing an emotionally tense encounter, a very deliberate kind of emotion.

The entire time, it was just these emotional scenes that were intense, the rest could be ignored.

Even so, the closest Shen Yan and Li Yanbai got was a hurried hug.

Their feelings for each other were expressed solely through their gaze.

Song Xuan, playing a passerby carrying boiling water, was walking by as Shen Yan’s character needed to rush past her; a criminal with a grudge against Shen Yan collided with Song Xuan, spilling the freshly boiled water in her hands on the ground, sending up steam and blocking the would-be assailant.

It was right before this segment, Shen Yan had just rushed towards Li Yanbai face to face, then with a full embrace charged into his arms; Li Yanbai raised his arm to hug Shen Yan briefly, and just like that, they parted ways after a quick embrace.

In the moment they locked eyes, the deep, hidden emotions were almost ready to burst forth, yet even more present was their sense of duty.

“Clang!”

Seeing the eye contact between the two, Song Xuan’s face changed, she didn’t move out of the way properly, and Shen Yan’s path was exactly in front, colliding with the boiling water in Song Xuan’s hands.

Luckily Shen Yan had quick reflexes, bending her body to dodge the silver kettle coming her way. Even though she dodged it, Shen Yan still got splashed by the boiling water.

Right on her abdomen.

Such scalding hot water, even through clothing, could burn the skin.

Song Xuan was pulled aside by someone just in time to avoid being splashed with boiling water.

“Shen Yan!”

“Yanyan!”

Those nearby saw that Shen Yan’s stomach was completely drenched with boiling water, which was wet and still steaming.

Song Xuan was also frightened.

“Shen Yan…”

Shen Yan glanced at Song Xuan with a somewhat indifferent look.

Xiao Zhao ran over and lifted Shen Yan’s clothing, and was startled by the redness on her stomach, “It’s blistering.”

“Get an ice pack on it, here,” a crew member responded quickly and handed over an ice pack.

Shen Yan moved aside with the ice pack pressed to her stomach.

Director Chen said, “Shen Yan, you should go and have it treated by the doctor first.”

For such dangerous scenes, the film crew arranged for an on-set doctor available and all emergency medications were ready.

Shen Yan gave Song Xuan, who was pale, another look and left without any expression to apply the medication.

“Yanyan…” Xiao Zhao’s voice trembled.

She had seen the large blisters. Such hot water must have been both painful and stingingly hot.

Shen Yan’s face showed no reaction, as if the burn wasn’t on her own body.

After applying the medication, Shen Yan insisted on returning to continue filming.

Li Yanbai wanted to apologize to Shen Yan on behalf of Song Xuan, but she calmly stopped him with a simple “Let’s continue shooting” and immersed herself back into filming.

Director Chen confirmed multiple times before accelerating the filming of Shen Yan’s scenes, allowing her to finish early and go home.

*

Liu Su had just returned and heard about the incident, hurrying with Shen Yan to the nearby hospital and calling Qi Si on the way.

Seeing the cold-faced Mr. Qi appear before her, Shen Yan was a little stunned, “Mr. Qi?”

The doctor was still treating Shen Yan when Qi Si came in and saw the large burn on her stomach.

The blisters had burst, and while applying the medication, Shen Yan didn’t make a sound, her face showing no expression of pain.

Except for a slight paleness.

Qi’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked icily, “What happened?”

Xiao Zhao was nearly scared to death by the terrifying man before him and explained tremblingly, “It was, it was an accident… splashed by boiling water…”

After finishing this sentence, Xiao Zhao’s legs shook as he awkwardly moved towards the door.

The doctor’s movements might have been a bit rough, as Shen Yan felt a burning pain and frowned slightly.

Qi gave the doctor a cold glance.

The doctor mechanically paused his movements: “…”

Liu Su didn’t dare to make a sound either, only silently slipping a red envelope to the doctor after he moved aside.

In the small room, at some point, only the two of them were left.

Qi squatted in front of Shen Yan, reached out to grasp the hem of her clothing, and pulled it up a bit, staring indifferently at the burned area.

Shen Yan felt uncomfortable with his actions, “Mr. Qi…”

“Does it hurt?”

Qi’s tone was somewhat stiff.

Shen Yan stared at him blankly.

Did it hurt?

No one had ever asked her if it hurt like this.

Qi was the first.
