Zhou Jianchen stumbled, as if he was about to fall over, but he held on to Ah Zhao’s hand to stand still. Seeing how anxious everyone was, he just waved his hand, “I’m fine.” But his hand was dripping blood too.

“Call the ambulance! Call the ambulance!” Sister Shao shouted out as she supported him.

No matter what, she would not allow anything to happen to him.

The ambulance arrived soon. Zhou Jianchen wanted to refuse, but he was eventually aided into the ambulance. Sister Shao and Ah Xian went along while Ah Zhao drove the car with Rong Xin, and a few other people in the set followed along too.

Liang Yin wanted to follow, but she just held back in the end.

“Yinyin, are you alright?” Du Yafu walked over after sending Zhou Jianchen off. At that time when the chandelier smashed down, she inevitably was impacted too though being shielded by Zhou Jianchen.

Liang Yin shook her head, “I’m fine.” Her eyes kept looking out the door. The vehicle was already far away and she didn’t know what would happen to Zhou Jianchen. Her eyes reddened a little as she had just cried.

Du Yafu then comforted her, “Don’t worry. Jianchen is fine. The doctor has examined him just now. Fortunately, there’s no bone injury.”

Liang Yin nodded her head. She knew the doctor had just examined him too, but how could she put her heart down.

The cause of the accident was quickly identified. That chandelier was not installed properly to begin with and it got loosened during the explosion scene in the morning, then the explosion just now directly shook it off.

The person responsible had also been identified. Chen Hua’en rarely lost his temper that the assistant director had to let him go immediately.

By the time everything was settled, it was already 4pm.

The hospital had called. There was a buffer when Zhou Jianchen bore the load, hence he didn’t sustain serious injury, but he still needed to be hospitalized for observation.

Chen Hua’en sighed a relief hearing that, then turned around to call it a day for the staff. There was an accident on the set, thus filming could not go on.

After Liang Yin’s makeup was removed and came out, Du Yafu and the others were already waiting at the entrance.

“Yinyin, do you want to go to the hospital together to see Jianchen?” Du Yafu called out when he saw her coming over.

Pondering for a moment, Liang Yin nodded her head.

“Jianchen is also regarded as Yinyin’s savior, she certainly has to go.” On the side, the director of photography jested.

Liang Yin smiled without responding.

The way Zhou Jianchen shielded her wholly came to mind again, but in a flash, it was his blood-covered appearance again.

They went in two cars. One was her, Xiao Tian, Du Yafu and the director of photography, while the other was Chen Hua’en, two assistant directors and the screenwriter. Almost all the notable personnel on the set had gone in these two cars.

Zhou Jianchen’s relations with others has always been pretty good, and his status is also exceptional.

When they arrived at the hospital, there were already a lot of people gathered at the entrance. The fact that Zhou Jianchen was injured and admitted to the hospital could not be concealed. At this moment, the topic is already trending on the internet.

Sister Shao was not in the mood to manage, so she just called Zhou Zuokang to report it, yet Zhou Zuokang didn’t mind about it and this topic was just in swing.

There was however a response, claiming that it was just an accident with no serious problem, but of which was very little effect. Zhou Jianchen had been injured before, but this was the first time he was sent to the hospital in an ambulance.

Apart from reporters, the entrance was now full of anxious fans, as if they wouldn’t leave without a response from Zhou Jianchen himself.

Liang Yin and the others didn’t get off directly at the entrance, rather went around to the underground parking lot, naturally to avoid them.

Zhou Jianchen is staying in a single exclusive VIP suite, which is located on a high floor and very quiet. Liang Yin came in with the crowd. Sister Shao and Rong Xin were there too. Zhou Jianchen was lying on the hospital bed. He had changed into pajamas with dressing wrapped around his neck. Seeing them coming in, he turned his head but soon shifted his gaze away when his line of sight fell on her.

His face was a little pale and his eyes were silent, still with sadness.

Liang Yin just lowered her head again.

Du Yafu had already started chatting with him, yet he was just indifferent and his responses were not enthusiastic at all.

Ah Zhao had brought chairs over for everyone to sit down. Liang Yin wanted to move aside when Rong Xin came to her at some point.

“Can I take your time for a chat?” She asked.

LIang Yin was a little surprised, yet she still followed up in the end.

Rong Xin took her all the way to the balcony outside the corridor, where there was no one there and the glance ahead was half the city view.

LIang Yin didn’t know what she was going to say, so she just waited quietly.

After looking into the distance for a while, Rong Xin finally spoke. She turned her head and said, “You should know that Jianchen likes you, right?”

Liang Yin was somewhat silent, but nodded anyway, “En.”

Rong Xin then smiled, “Then you probably don’t know how much he likes you and when he likes you.”

Liang Yin was dumbfounded.

Rong Xin then said, “The first time he saw you, you were only 19 and he already liked you at that time. It’s almost 10 years now. He told me before that was on the set of [Ming Yao], which ought to be your second movie, right?”

“Actually, I never thought he would like a person so much. I’ve known him for more than 10 years and I’ve never seen him so devoted to someone before. Ten year, how long is that ah, not to mention all the things that have happened to you.”

“Liang Yin, Jianchen was aware of your marriage, he had always known. When you were involved in the car accident at that time and your whereabouts were unknown, not knowing how much effort he had spent to find out about you. You didn’t even know how anxious he was at that time, he had simply gone crazy. I’ve really never seen him like this before. He said, no matter if you were dead or alive, even if it was to see you one last time. I’ve known him for more than 10 years, and I’ve never really seen him like that.”

“But then the news of you marrying into a wealthy family came. He lost so much weight at that time. I know he rather hated you for a while, and no one could mention your name in front of him. But no matter how much he hated you, he still couldn’t let you go. The 5 years that you left, he never accepted anyone. He did date an actress, but if you see her, you will know why he would approach her. That actress, really looks so much like you.”

“He really loves you a lot. He loved you when you were unmarried and he still loves you even after you were married. No matter if you are married or divorced, he still loves you as before. We all know that, but we are afraid to say it.”

“Do you know why we rushed over here this time? It was because we saw the news about you and your ex-husband online. You don’t mind me calling him your ex-husband, do you? We all know how much Jianchen cares about you and how cautiously he likes you. Both of you ought to be in a sort of relationship, except it’s not stable yet, so we don’t know how much of a blow it will be to him if something like this happens. At that time, Sister Shao put down all her job at hand and rushed over. I happened to be there, so I came along too.”

“You probably don’t know what he looked like when we saw him today. He was sitting on the sofa, not uttering a word and his eyes were red. He couldn’t go back to face you, so he booked a room outside, not wanting to sleep, and just sat there idly for the whole night.”

“He was in so much pain at that time. He never wanted others to see his emotions, but at that moment, he really couldn’t hide it at all. Sister Shao asked him if he had broken up with you, but he didn’t answer and tears trickled down when he turned his head.”

“Liang Yin, I’ve known him for more than 10 years. Except for acting, I’ve never seen him cry. No matter how sad, he would just bear it, but at that moment, he really couldn’t hold it back. At that moment, I thought, is this still the Zhou Jianchen whom I know?”

“Liang Yin, Jianchen he really loves you very much, as if he had set his mind on you for the rest of his life when he saw you for the first time. I’m even certain that if it’s not you, he will never fall in love with another woman in this lifetime. You should also be able to feel that on the set today, he can even give up his life for you.”

“So Liang Yin, if you like him even a little bit, can you please be nice to him? It’s been 10 years, he really can’t be hurt anymore. Five years ago when you left, he was devastated as if became a different person. I don’t want to see another soulless Zhou Jianchen five years later.”

“Liang Yin, please really cherish him.”

After Rong Xin finished her words, tears already filled her eyes, and tears had streamed down Liang Yin’s cheeks as she listened.

She has never understood why Zhou Jianchen was cold and hot to her; why wasn’t he able to kiss her in that kissing scene, and why were his eyes so sad after the kiss. Now she understood everything.

He has always hated her, yet also loved her all along.

Rong Xin left and Liang Yin kept wiping her tears but the tears kept trickling down.

By the time she returned to the ward, some time had passed.

In the ward, Chen Hua’en and the others had left, only Rong Xin and Sister Shao stayed behind. Zhou Jianchen had gotten out of bed and was standing by the window. When he saw her come in, he was startled momentarily, but quickly turned his head away.

His face was pale and there was still pain in his eyes.

Rong Xin pulled Sister Shao out and gently closed the door. Hence, only the two of them were left in the ward.

Not looking back, Zhou Jianchen lowered his head and his eyes reddened again.

Liang Yin halted, but she still walked to his side. With her head down, she spoke softly, “Zhou Jianchen, I called you the other day to tell you that Zhong Mingzhen and I have divorced.”

Zhou Jianchen’s eyes fluttered momentarily.

Holding back her tears, Liang Yin continued, “I didn’t know he would come that day, and I went home with him only because it was Grandma’s birthday the next day.”

“Zhou Jianchen, my parents passed away early and only my maternal grandma took care of me. When my maternal grandma died, there was only Grandma Zhong left. I often lived in the Zhong family at that time, and Grandma Zhong treated me like her own granddaughter.”

“Zhou Jianchen, I’ve promised you and I will do it. You asked me to take you to my heart and since I promised, I meant it precisely.”

“Zhou Jianchen, I’ve liked someone before. I know what that feels like.”

Choking with sobs, Liang Yin could not continue anymore.

Liking someone before, she knew what that felt like. Giving out cautiously, without daring to demand much.

Hence, she absolutely will never break the promise she made.

Hearing that, Zhou Jianchen’s tears rolled down as he turned around and gathered her in his arms, not willing to let her go anymore.

What he ever sought was for her to understand his heart.
