Chapter 27: I Do Not Blame Yun Fu

"Miss Yunfu."

The entire venue was shocked for the third time, falling into a stunned silence.

Everyone turned in unison to look at the girl lazily lying there, engrossed in her phone, as if she hadn't heard a thing, wholly absorbed in her mobile game. It wasn't until Joan patted her that she lifted her gaze, sweeping the scene with indifferent eyes—full of disinterest—before dropping her head again.

Joan: "..."

Ning Lan felt her face burn with humiliation. She glared fiercely toward Yunfu, teeth clenched tightly.

She simply couldn't believe the flowers were meant for Yunfu.

Of all people… it had to be Yunfu!

Those half-hidden, half-revealed glances made her feel utterly exposed and ashamed.

"Miss, you may take the flowers, but you must compensate," the man in black repeated, expressionless.

Ning Lan felt a blaze of anger in her chest, but had nowhere to vent it.

She turned, casting her gaze toward Yunfu, and at that moment met those clear, cold, glass-like eyes.

Rebellious, untamed, self-assured…

Ning Lan bit her lip and instructed her assistant, "Pay him!"

With that, she strode away, her embarrassment written in her unsteady steps. Anyone could see she'd lost face—thoroughly.

Meanwhile, the man in black, upon seeing Yunfu, led his group and the flowers respectfully toward her.

"Miss Yunfu, please sign for these."

"I don't want them."

"…"

Yunfu's eyes never left her phone. Her slender fingers danced across the screen, the sounds of victory echoing from her game.

The man in black looked troubled, uncertain what to do. "Um… Miss Yunfu…"

Yunfu finally finished her game, lazily glancing at the flowers behind him, her face unreadable. "Take them away."

—

Because of this farcical incident, Ning Lan smashed things in the lounge, barely suppressing her fury.

But whenever she recalled her humiliation, she wished she could tear Yunfu apart—devour her flesh and drink her blood!

Fueled by hate, Ning Lan tossed and turned, unable to sleep, haunted by those mocking, disdainful glances and the sound of stifled laughter.

The next day, filming resumed. Ning Lan's face was worse than ever, deep dark circles under her eyes.

In contrast, Yunfu sat as always, playing her game, her beauty still breathtaking.

Ning Lan's gaze was venomous, but she withdrew it quickly when Yunfu looked her way.

Today, once again, they had scenes together.

It was a fight scene. They disagreed, escalating from confrontation to blows.

Yunfu, clad in red, wielded a long blade—though just a prop—yet in that moment, everyone on set saw the heroic Qianxuan step straight out of the pages.

Bai Yu grew excited, "Alright, everyone ready—action!"

At his cue, Yunfu seemed not to move, yet she shot forward like an arrow loosed from its bow.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light.

Yunfu's expression changed, her wrist turning, instantly pulling back her force.

But an accident still occurred.

"Ah!" Ning Lan clutched her neck, her face pale as she collapsed.

Her hand slipped away, blood seeping from her neck.

"Quick, call an ambulance!"

"She's bleeding! Her neck is bleeding! Is she alright?"

"My god, what happened?"

"Was that Yunfu? That's terrifying—the neck has a major artery!"

Bai Yu was flustered, but as a seasoned director he quickly regained control over the chaos.

Joan hurried to Yunfu's side. Seeing her calm, indifferent expression, Joan's panic inexplicably eased.

Yunfu pushed through the crowd, her face cold, kneeling beside Ning Lan. She placed two fingers on Ning Lan's pulse.

Then, from the bag Joan handed over, Yunfu took a piece of cotton cloth and a silver needle, which she inserted into an acupuncture point. The bleeding stopped instantly.

Everyone was stunned again.

"My god, what just happened? That's incredible."

"Didn't you see the news? Yunfu even saved Old Madam Lian—she's a miracle doctor!"

"Judging by the amount of blood, it was only a surface wound."

"Ning Lan fainted—surely it was more serious."

Just then, the ambulance arrived and Ning Lan was taken to the hospital.

The crowd dispersed, and Joan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly pulling Yunfu away.

Bai Yu approached, and seeing Yunfu's fearless face, he smiled. "Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this."

"Thank you, Director." Yunfu replied, then strolled off at a leisurely pace.

Director Bai: "…"

Back in the lounge, Joan couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Fu, what happened? Is she alright?"

"She's fine. Just a scratch."

"Then why did she faint?"

"She was faking."

"…"

Because of the accident, Bai Yu decided to give the crew half a day off.

Yunfu returned to the hotel and resumed her game.

That evening, just after dinner, Joan rushed in, anxious. "Yunfu, Ning Lan's causing trouble online. Don't act rashly—I'll handle it."

Joan had mixed feelings about Yunfu's new temperament; she loved how much more sensible and clever Yunfu was, but hated that Yunfu was the type to act rather than talk.

She truly feared Yunfu might rush to the hospital and beat someone up.

Yunfu frowned and opened Weibo.

Her inbox was flooded with malicious messages.

"Heh, a miracle doctor? More like a murderer. How could someone like this be a doctor?"

"Such a vicious heart—aren't doctors supposed to be compassionate? Disgusting!"

"She's part of the same crew, right? Why be so cruel? Our Lanlan said she doesn't mind—she's so kind."

"Exactly, even after all this, she's still considerate. Compared to a certain venomous woman, she's truly kind and beautiful."

"I don't know how anyone could think Yunfu is pretty—she clearly looks sharp and mean."

Yunfu's frown deepened as she tapped through her phone, eventually finding a video of Ning Lan being interviewed.

In the video, Ning Lan appeared pale and fragile, evoking pity.

The reporter asked, "Ning Lan, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine," Ning Lan replied softly. "It was my own carelessness. When filming action scenes, everyone should be cautious."

She coughed quietly, her already slender frame seeming even more delicate. "Don't blame Yunfu, she didn't mean it. I won't hold it against her."

She smiled, gentle and frail. "Besides, I'm really alright now."
