Chapter 50: Bandaging the Wound

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The director paused the shooting, and everyone gathered around, including Jing MO, who also walked over immediately. He gently lifted Xia Xin’s arm with his fingers and said, “You’re injured.”

Xia Xin was momentarily stunned, only then did she notice that blood droplets had started to emerge from the wound on her arm. There were fragments of gravel, dust, and blood on her entire arm, making it look quite severe.

Having been focused on taking care of Slowpoke, Xia Xin hadn’t felt the pain. But now, seeing the extensive wound, she suddenly felt the pain. She frowned and smiled at everyone. She said, “It’s okay. You guys continue with the show.

I’ll go tend to my wound.”

With that, Xia Xin carried Slowpoke and left.

Jing MO checked the time. An hour had passed, and he had to make it to the next set. He bid farewell to the director and the crew.

Before leaving, Jing MO glanced in the direction Xia Xin had gone. She was probably going backstage to find some iodine to treat her wound. However, the backstage area only had makeup and filming equipment; there was nothing else. So, he asked Sun Hu to invite Xia Xin over.

“Miss Xia, we meet again.” Sun Hu caught up with Xia Xin at the entrance of the backstage makeup room and greeted her.

Xia Xin looked at Sun Hu, carefully recalling before recognizing him as Jing

Mo’s manager. She replied, “Hello.”

Sun Hu said, “They don’t have gauze or adhesive bandages backstage, but we have some in our car. If you don’t mind, you can come with me to the car to treat your wound. Jing MO is in the car.”

Blood was flowing more as time passed, and with no supplies to treat it, Xia Xin could only use tissues to lightly wipe the wound. It was becoming more painful. So, she nodded in agreement.

Xia Xin brought Slowpoke backstage and placed it in its cage, having Layle accompany it. Then she followed Sun Hu to the parking lot.

Jing MO had prepared a first aid kit. He began by using mineral water to clean the dust from the wound.

When the cold water touched the wound on her arm, Xia Xin shivered in pain, but she quickly adapted to the sensation. It even seemed less painful.

Next, Jing MO used a cotton swab to apply iodine for disinfection. Seeing Xia Xin’s slightly grimacing expression as she endured the pain, he smiled and tried to divert her attention. He praised, “You were very brave today.”

Suddenly praised by Jing MO, Xia Xin was taken aback and somewhat flattered. She said, “Well, I just felt the rock was going to fall, so I rushed over without thinking much. It didn’t really hurt that much.”

Xia Xin was afraid everyone would worry, so she emphasized that she was fine.

Jing MO took out gauze and cut it to the appropriate size for the wound on Xia

Xin’s arm. He asked, “How did you know the rock was going to fall?”

At the time of the accident, the three of them in the rockery weren’t aware of the situation. However, those outside the rockery had a clear view. Xu Zhi and Zhao Nan were focused on opening the boxes, while Xia Xin was attentively accompanying Slowpoke with her back to the two. There was no way anyone would have noticed the change above their heads.

Moreover, the stone didn’t fall at that moment and made no sound. Yet, Xia Xin seemed to anticipate something, suddenly looking up at the stone and then rushing over.

Xia Xin paused for a moment, not knowing why she had acted that way. It seemed she had heard a noise and subconsciously looked up. It could be her sixth sense.

Teasing Jing MO, she said, “Maybe I have spider-sense like Spiderman.”

Jing MO chuckled and didn’t say anything. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “Have you ever bought my album?”

“Huh?” Xia Xin’s smile froze on her face. She pondered, ‘Why was he suddenly asking such a nonsensical question?’

Xia Xin had never been a fan of stars and didn’t recognize many celebrities, so she didn’t buy any albums. But she couldn’t just tell him that she didn’t listen to his songs.

Xia Xin could only give a casual response, “I’m not really into music.”

Disappointment flickered in Jing Mo’s eyes for a moment. He silently secured the gauze with adhesive tape, completing the bandaging. Jing MO was extremely skilled at this process, and the bandaging was done neatly.

Xia Xin joked, “Mr. Jing, if you weren’t a star, you could have been a doctor.”

Jing MO put away the first aid kit and calmly replied, “Getting injured during filming is common and practice makes perfect. I need to continue shooting, so I won’t be able to take you back.”

After thanking Jing MO, Xia Xin got out of the car and watched them leave. Somehow, she had a feeling that Jing MO was upset.

Xia Xin thought it must be her imagination. With Jing Mo’s personality, Xia Xin believed that he couldn’t possibly be upset just because she hadn’t bought his album..
