"Look, I'm all fine! Please just forget about this accident. It's because Han Ye Gege is a great actor. Um... a method actor, yes, he is a method actor! That's why he doesn't realize his strength. He must've been into his character so much!" Yunyu tried his best to protect Han Ye, even though everyone knew Han Ye's fault.
"You're not fine, Yunyu," Director Shen sighed and patted Yunyu's shoulder. "Go take a rest. You're done with today's shooting. All the scenes with Bai Shijue have been completed."
"Already? Wha… that's so fast, I didn't even realize it," Yunyu joked a bit. "Uncle, don't forget to give me a new role after this, okay? Hehe. Oh, please send me the recording of my scene as well. It's for um… my personal memory!"
Director Shen smiled. Honestly, he didn't know how to handle this problem. He could've just scolded Han Ye for what he did, but when the victim tried to protect the perpetrator, now that was a different case.
He knew that Yunyu idolized Han Ye so much, so his view about Han Ye must've been twisted.
Besides, Han Ye didn't seem to care at all for Yunyu's wellbeing. He didn't even apologize!
Thus, Director Shen followed what Yunyu wanted. He acted as if nothing terrible had happened and Yunyu had completed his role in this series, "Your payment has been transferred to your bank account, you should rest now, Yunyu. Don't worry about the role. You did great in this series. I will definitely hire you again in the future."
Bai Yunyu giggled and then bowed his head at every staff around him. He thanked everyone for their handwork and excused himself to wash his makeup.
Bai Yunyu went to the makeup room and saw Auntie Shu looking at him with worry, "Oh no, your bruise looks so bad. Sit here, let Auntie treat you first before we clean your makeup."
"Hehe, thanks, Auntie Shu. Don't worry about it. The nosebleed has stopped," Yunyu said. Of course, that was a lie as well because if he took off the tissue in his nostril, the blood would flow again.
"Don't try to act tough in front of me. I know that you're in pain," Auntie Shu said. She walked to the fridge and took ice from inside. She made an ice compress and then carefully patted Yunyu's bruised face with it.
Yunyu didn't want to be a burden, so he bit his lower lip to muffle the grimacing pain.
"Seriously, what is wrong with Han Ye? I saw how he slapped you so hard. That's not acting at all!" Auntie Shu complained. But Yunyu shook his head.
"It's fine. Han Ye Gege is a method actor. Of course, he can be a bit too much during his acting. But that's just because he's a good actor!"
"Aish, Yunyu, you really like him, don't you?"
"Hehe, I can't help it, Auntie," Yunyu said with a forced smile on his face.
"Yunyu…"
Yunyu turned around when he heard the familiar voice of Jia Jie, "Ah, Jie! How's my acting just now? I'm doing great, right? Hehe~"
Jia Jie was distressed by Yunyu right now. The moment she saw Han Ye slap Yunyu so hard until he got a nosebleed, he knew that Han Ye had gone too far.
She was angry at Han Ye, but she didn't know what to do with it. She wanted to scold Han Ye, but of course, a man like him wouldn't even bat an eye over some scolding.
So she wanted to apologize and treat Yunyu instead.
Jia Jie sat on the next seat and held Yunyu's hand, "Bai Yunyu, you know that you can press charge on Han Ye, right?"
"Ah, why would I?" Yunyu frowned. "There's nothing wrong with anything."
Jia Jie sighed. It was difficult to convince Yunyu because she knew that Yunyu was a total simp for Han Ye.
"Do you want something from Han Ye, then? At least something to compensate, you know that he is in the wrong, and I will force him to do whatever your bidding is as compensation."
"Um… please tell him to be well and keep his health. Because he has a lot of scenes to play, and it'd be tiring."
"… if that's what you want, then I will tell him that," Jia Jie nodded. "After you wash your makeup and change your clothes, you should return home. Here's money for you to call a cab, remember to call one, okay? Don't use the bus."
"Ah, okay, thanks, Jie!" Yunyu accepted the pocket money.
"Then, I will return to Han Ye and tell him your message… and mine as well," Jia Jie got up and walked away.
"Auntie, I will just change my clothes and return now. I'll compress the bruise at home. I'm pretty tired, hehe…." Yunyu said. "
Auntie Shu sighed, "Alright, just be careful. You've worked hard today."
Thus, Yunyu changed to his regular clothes and then called a cab to the movie studio. He excused himself to the security guard and finally returned to his home.

Meanwhile, Jia Jie walked to Han Ye's room, and he entered without knocking. Not that it mattered much, because Han Ye obviously had expected Jia Jie to come.
"Han Ye, we really need to talk about your behavior."
"I know what you want to talk about, Jia Jie. Don't bother about it. I have zero remorse for what I did to that piece of trash," Han Ye said as he wiped the makeup off his face.
Jia Jie clenched her fist and approached Han Ye. She stood right in front of him, "Do you know what you just did to an innocent young man?"
"He is not innocent, and yes, I am fully aware of what I did."
"Then apologize to him, and compensate. You're being so illogical now, Han Ye."
"As I said, I will not apologize to a piece of shit. If it's just compensation, then throw some money to him.. I bet that thing is living in poverty right now."
