Chapter 277: Chapter 277 A Bit Shy

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ye Xian ordered some takeout and after eating to his content, sprawled on the bed like a salted fish.

The past two days of filming in Japan had already exhausted him, and before he could rest properly, an emergency with Cary had forced him to get up early in the morning. After such a terrifying day, he was so tired that his whole body ached, and he did not want to move at all.

He needed to get a good sleep to recharge his energy.

Not long after Ye Xian had closed his eyes, Cary*not only lacking in loyalty but also crazily stabbing in the back*called him.

“Hello?”

He answered groggily, without even opening his eyes.”

“Ye Xian, are you okay?”

Hearing his lifeless voice, Cary’s heart trembled. Could it be that Ye Xian had been severely beaten by the CEO and was now lying in the hospital barely alive or abandoned in the wilderness?

Hearing his voice, Ye Xian suddenly felt more spirited and gritted his teeth, “You still remember me, huh?”

“Of course! The first thing I did after escaping was to call for reinforcements for you, Team Captain and Shangguan Yunli. One is the CEO’s most cherished younger brother, and the other is a close friend of the CEO. Having them as mediators could definitely save your life. What, they didn’t show up?”

Ye Xian gave a cold laugh, “They did show up; thanks to your unnecessary interference. If the CEO hadn’t been called away suddenly, I might have been strung up and beaten by now!”

“Ah?”

Cary was dumbfounded by her response.

By then, Ye Xian was too tired to scold him any further.

“I’m fine; the CEO had to leave suddenly. Whether he’ll follow up on this matter later, I don’t know. Is there anything else? If not, I’m going to hang up.”

“You’re okay? That’s great! I was just worried about you, so I called to check.”

“Rest assured, by the way, when are you going to teach me acting? I’m free this week except for the shoot days, so I’ve got time.”

“Forget it,” Cary immediately refused. “I was traumatized today; I can’t learn such inhuman stuff until I recover.”

“Pathetic~”

“By the way,” Cary pressed his index fingers together, “thank you, Ye Xian. I really wouldn’t have known what to do today without you.”

It was the first time Cary had ever thanked Ye Xian, and oddly enough, he felt a bit shy.

“From now on, you’re my brother, closer than a real brother! Whenever you need me, just shout, and I, Xiao C, will be there to scale mountains and brave flames for you, no matter the challenge!”

Ye Xian laughed, “It seems you do have some conscience.”

After hanging up the phone, he slept until the sun shone on his butt the next day. When he groggily woke up, he saw a dark figure sitting beside him.

“Ah!!”

“Ah–”

Ye Xian and Zhou Lu screamed at the same time.

Frightened, Ye Xian desperately pulled the blanket up to his upper body, but when he saw it was Zhou Lu, the panic in his eyes gradually faded, “Xiao Lu, why didn’t you say something when you came?”

The Zhou Lu, who had also been startled, looked innocently, “I did; I even made numerous calls, but Brother Ye, you were sleeping too soundly.”

“…”

Ye Xian had to admit that he was a heavy sleeper, unaffected even by thunder.

He remembered once during a shoot, he had to play a scene where his character was poisoned and passed out. The bed was so comfortable that he accidentally fell asleep, and despite the crew’s loud calls, he didn’t wake up, which led the director to think he had actually been poisoned, causing him to burst into tears on set.

“I’m sorry about that.”

“It’s okay; you must have been really tired from filming lately.”

Zhou Lu handed him a glass of water.

Ye Xian asked, “So, do you need something today?”

He remembered that he didn’t have any schedule today, and he hadn’t been notified of her visit.
