The next day, Xiao Jia Yu and Shen Feng continued filming the video. The weather was very good, and looking at the bright sun shining down on the land made one want to immediately put down their work and go out to sea.
However, it was only when Xiao Jiayu finished his work for the day in the evening that he felt it was strange. He actually hadn't seen Mu Chen on set for the entire day.
Jason happened to catch her gaze as she was looking back and forth. He walked up to her and asked, "Jia Yu, are you looking for Boss Mu?"
Xiao Jia Yu had originally planned to forget about Mu Chen since she couldn't find him, but she didn't plan to ask anyone. Thus, Jason took the initiative to ask her, which made it difficult for her to say it was wrong. She hurriedly nodded her head and replied: "I haven't seen him since today. Could it be that he has already returned home?"
Jason suddenly started to believe what Shen Feng said last night about Xiao Jia Yu and Mu Chen not having any relationship at all. After all, Xiao Jia Yu knew nothing about Mu Chen not appearing on the set, but seeing how nervous Mu Chen was towards Xiao Jia Yu last night, it seemed impossible. The most reasonable explanation could only be someone's one-sided love. Jason's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He felt as if he had seen something he shouldn't have known, and for a moment he felt embarrassed for Mu Chen.
However, he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Jia Yu, I contacted Director Mu over the phone at noon. However, he quickly recovered his usual appearance and said with a smile," Jia Yu, I contacted Director Mu at noon.
Xiao Jia Yu frowned and muttered to herself: "Usually his body seems to be better than mine. I never thought that he would also be so weak." Just when she was worried about Mu Chen, Shen Feng's assistant happened to call her aboard. She hurriedly carried her bag on her back, wishing that she could immediately return to the hotel on another island.
Jason looked at Xiao Jiayu's worried expression and silently prayed that he had helped Mu Chen so much. In the future, it would be great if the two sides could work together more happily.
This time, Shen Feng's side of the hotel was a resort house, all of the houses were single-family, the house was surrounded by red flowers and green trees, the environment was not bad, but Xiao Jia Yu was no longer in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, she directly walked in front of Mu Chen's room, hesitated for a moment, and still knocked on the door.
The door was quickly opened by someone. Xiao Jia Yu felt as if she was enveloped in a rising heat wave, and suddenly felt that the cold air coming out of the room was exceptionally obvious. Xiao Jia Yu looked at the tall man in front of the door. Her expression was indeed quite unsightly. Even her normally well-groomed hair was a mess at this time. It seemed as if she was living at home.
Mu Chen deliberately and exaggeratedly sniffed and asked, "Jia Yu, why are you here?"
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly replied, "I heard from Jason that you're not feeling well, so I came to take a look."
Mu Chen opened the door and let her in while he sat on the sofa near the window. "It might just be a little hot. It's really too hot over here."
Even a person who was afraid of heat would feel that it was too cold if they entered the room. She hurriedly found a remote control to turn the temperature down a little and reproached, "I know you were broken by the heat. The temperature here is indeed too high, but you can't be greedy and turn the temperature so low. Maybe you'll even catch a cold after sunstroke later."
Mu Chen quickly smiled and let her go, secretly glad that she didn't suspect that he had deliberately turned on the air conditioner at such a low temperature. He was leaving early in the morning, and yesterday, sensing her little sympathy for Shen Feng, he thought he would use it before he left. However, he also knew that in such a short period of time, it would be impossible for their relationship to develop any further. Thus, he could only take things step by step.
Xiao Jia Yu put down the air-conditioner remote control and turned around. Seeing that Mu Chen was still leaning on the sofa, she hurriedly said, "You should go and lie on the bed. That position of yours is facing the air vent of the air-conditioner." As she spoke, she was still worried and decided to change the direction of the air conditioner. At the very least, she couldn't blow on Mu Chen below.
Mu Chen was actually quite happy to see her gesticulating. He immediately got on the bed and leaned against the headboard as he sat down.
At this time, Xiao Jia Yu looked at him again as if she was afraid that he would have a fever. She sat down beside the bed and touched his forehead. She remembered that the local kind of ointment she had bought could treat heat stroke. She quickly got up and said, "Wait for me, I'll go back to my room and get the ointment."
Mu Chen replied with an "En" sound as he watched her run away. Although she didn't notice it, her concern for him was real. Mu Chen could feel the touch of Xiao Jia Yu's palm on his forehead just now. He recalled that he had intentionally held her hand for a while last night, and it was no wonder that ghost spirit Ning Zhiheng did not want to hold his hand. Xiao Jia Yu's hand was indeed much softer than his, and when she approached him just now, she could smell a delicate fragrance coming from her body.
As expected, Xiao Jia Yu came back quickly and sat by Mu Chen's bedside. She looked at him and said: "Wipe some of it on yourself. Just apply it on the spots I smeared on that day." Although she didn't know if wiping it on her chest was very effective, she didn't dare to say it casually. Even if it was a man, she felt it was embarrassing to say such words.
However, Mu Chen replied without thinking, "Jia Yu, please help me." On his face was written, "I'm weak."
Xiao Jia Yu leaned in closer to him. Even though she felt that the two of them were being a little too intimate, she still braced herself and went forward. After she finished wiping him out patiently, she quietly sat on the sofa to the side, wanting to see if he would feel better later.
No one spoke for a while, Xiao Jia Yu felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she asked: "Do you want to watch TV?"
Mu Chen quickly shook his head. "Even if you turn on the TV, the TV is all local Thai television stations. I don't understand Thai at all."
Xiao Jia Yu nodded and did not bring up the matter again.
Seeing that she really couldn't sit down, Mu Chen didn't want to intentionally make things difficult for her. He took the initiative and said, "Jia Yu, if you're bored, you can go back first."
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly looked at him and asked, "How do you feel after using that ointment?"
Mu Chen originally wanted to let her go, but after hearing her question, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted her to stay a while longer. He shook his head and replied, "It still feels pretty much the same as before."
Xiao Jia Yu thought about how her seasickness had a miraculous effect when it was used on her. She didn't understand why it didn't work on Mu Chen, but she also thought about how she had been seasick earlier and how Mu Chen was suffering from heatstroke due to different circumstances. She hesitated for a moment, thinking that she really had to rub it on her chest to have an effect.
He only felt that she looked more and more conflicted on the surface, thinking that she was hesitating on whether or not he should leave. He hurriedly added, "Jia Yu, it's alright. I might be fine after a bit of sleep. You should go back first."
After Xiao Jia Yu finished listening to what he had to say, she sat back down on the bed and handed the ointment back to him, saying, "Mu Chen, it might be effective if you apply some of this ointment on your chest."
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment before reacting to what she had said just now. He asked uncertainly, "Are you sure that it was placed on your chest?"
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly nodded.
Mu Chen immediately took off his sweater without hesitation. At this moment, he couldn't pretend to be pitiful and let Xiao Jia Yu help him as he smeared the ointment on his chest.
Although Xiao Jia Yu only stared at Mu Chen for a moment, he also felt that Mu Chen's appearance was extremely sexy. It was obvious that he was a person who loved to exercise very much. The muscles on his abdomen were even, but not exaggerated. She quickly turned her head away, afraid that if she looked too long, she would really be enchanted by her beauty. Shen Feng and Luo Qing Ran were both handsome, with different styles. However, she had never felt shy when interacting with them before. Yet, when she was alone with Mu Chen, she always felt uncomfortable.
When Mu Chen saw that she purposely turned her back to him, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile. After applying the ointment, he intentionally moved behind her.
Mu Chen held back his laughter and didn't dare to tease her anymore. He hurriedly said, "Jia Yu, thank you for the ointment. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly nodded her head, picked up the ointment and left.
After Xiao Jia Yu left, Mu Chen lay flat on his bed. His mind suddenly recalled the matters after he met Xiao Jia Yu, and his entire body felt warm just thinking about it. She had clearly changed someone when she was acting and was extremely stubborn towards her dreams. Yet, she was still shy towards him. It seemed like she was not completely uninterested in him.
When Xiao Jia Yu returned to her room, she threw herself into her bed. Her face was buried in her pillow, and as she thought about the anomalies she had experienced after meeting Mu Chen, she became more and more uncertain. She let her thoughts run wild for a while before she turned around and looked at the ceiling. She asked herself, "Xiao Jia Yu, you can't have fallen for Mu Chen, right?"
However, now was not the time for her to be in a relationship. She had to be busy preparing for graduation, and when "Meeting with the Joy" was released, she had to follow the crew and promote it. Then, she had to attend a reality show. As for being in a relationship, once she had achieved her goal, she would prove to her family that she could only consider it.
After thinking about it, Xiao Jia Yu no longer felt lost and decided to follow the rules. Everything should be done according to plan, and he should also have his own plans.
The next day, after Xiao Jia Yu woke up, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth, preparing to go to the hotel's outdoor restaurant to eat breakfast.
Xiao Jia Yu looked at the things in his hands and asked with a smile: "Are you leaving?"
Mu Chen hurriedly replied, "This trip, coupled with the fact that three days have already passed since I left, there are still a lot of things that I have to deal with, so I have to go back."
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly said: "If you don't have much time, you should eat breakfast first."
Mu Chen nodded with a smile. "I was planning to eat breakfast before leaving."
The two of them then went to the dining room together. For a while, no one spoke. When they looked at each other, they seemed to understand each other's intentions. However, no one had taken the initiative to speak of this matter.
Mu Chen left after eating breakfast. Xiao Jia Yu faced the morning sun and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. The breaking of the clouds and the rising of the sun was the most beautiful scenery, but it hadn't reached her time yet.
