Shi Xi smiled awkwardly. “That was just an accident.”

Shi Xu retorted, “Accidents don’t happen twice in a row.”

Shi Xi: “…”

“You injured your foot twice in a row,” Shi Xu said. “And nailed yourself to a wheelchair.”

Shi Xi was speechless.

Chu Yuan said, “Mr. Shi, the production team will protect Shi Xi well. They won’t let her get hurt again.”

“Can you guarantee that?” There was a smile on Shi Xu’s face, but it did not reach his eyes. “The production team has too many people and too many hands, and you guys are from a wuxia drama. You guys fly around all day long.”

“I have a good sister, and now she only lost two legs. If she doesn’t even have hands in the future, who will take responsibility?”

Chu Yuan was very cowardly and did not say, “I’ll take responsibility.”

He knew that he could not take responsibility.

Shi Xu pushed the wheelchair handle and smiled. “I’ll send you back to rest.”

“I don’t want to rest. I want to eat,” Shi Xi requested.

“Then I’ll push you to the dining room.” Shi Xu took a detour and pushed Shi Xi to the dining table. “I’ll go change.”

Shi Xi sat at the dining table with her elbows on the table and her hands on her face.

Chu Yuan saw Shi Xu leave the dining room and sat opposite Shi Xi. He asked, “What do we do now?”

“I’m thinking about it.” Shi Xi held on for two seconds before her eyes lit up. She suggested, “Why don’t we elope?”

Chu Yuan: ?!

Shi Xi changed her words. “What I’m saying is that we should sneak back to the set while my brother isn’t around.”

Chu Yuan hesitated. “Is that a good idea? Your brother doesn’t seem like an easy person to talk to — even though he does look like one.”

Shi Xi said, “If you’re discovered, just act coquettishly. It’s fine. He won’t hit me.”

Chu Yuan asked, “Your brother can hit people?”

Looking at how gentle he was, he really didn’t seem like a person who would hit people!

Shi Xi said, “When he was in school, he was the champion of sanda.”

Chu Yuan fell silent.

“…I’ll go talk to your brother again.” Chu Yuan turned around and left.

Shi Xi said from behind him, “If he wants to hit you, you’d better cover your head and squat down.”

Chu Yuan walked even faster.

Shi Xi prayed for him in her heart.

Chu Yuan asked Mother Shi and walked to the door of Shi Xu’s room.

He knocked on the door.

“Please come in.”

Chu Yuan pushed the door open and entered. He saw that Shi Xu was wearing a T-shirt.

From his angle, he could just see Shi Xu’s abs.

As expected of the champion of sanda.

He believed it.

When Shi Xu saw that it was Chu Yuan who came in, he wiped his hair with a towel and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Chu Yuan thought about the face he relied on to survive and said, “It’s almost time to eat. I came to call you.”

Shi Xu paused and smiled. “I thought you were here to persuade me to let Xi Xi join the production team.”

“If I persuade you, would Mr. Shi be willing to let Xi Xi join the production team?” Chu Yuan probed.

Shi Xu said, “No.”

Chu Yuan placed his hand on the door handle. “Sorry to disturb you.”

After saying that, he immediately closed the door.

When they returned to the dining room, Shi Xi asked Chu Yuan, “How was it? Did my brother agree?”

Chu Yuan shook his head. “I tried my best.”

Shi Xi sighed. “Let me do it.”

As expected, a person still had to rely on themselves.

Chu Yuan pushed Shi Xi to Shi Xu’s door. “Good luck.”

Shi Xi took a deep breath and knocked on the door before entering.

Shi Xu wiped his hair and was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone. “The matter of joining the cast and crew is non-negotiable.”

“Big Brother, you’re the best big brother in the world. Can you let me join the crew?” Shi Xi started to act coquettishly.

“I’m not,” Shi Xu said coldly.

No matter what Shi Xi said, Shi Xu would not let her go.

Chu Yuan stood at the door and played a game for a while. When he saw Shi Xi come out with a dejected expression, he knew the ending.
