Chapter 996: Chu Yao Is Injured

“What do you want him for?” Mo Tingshen asked curiously.

Xu Shu said, “Nothing, just asking.”

“Late at night,” Mo Tingshen turned over, letting out a long sigh through his nose, the night carrying an invisible allure of intentional teasing, “If you’re lonely, come over to your brother’s.

My bed is wide and big enough for you too.”

Xu Shu retorted, unfazed, “Stop being so shameless.”

He hung up the phone.

He opened his Moments, skipping everything else until he reached Xu Tingting’s.

She posts one or two updates every day.

In the photos, her skin is tanned, wearing a big straw hat, sitting on the road taking pictures, casually making a peace sign.

Xu Shu pulled at the corner of his mouth, but there was no trace of a smile on his handsome face.

He left a comment below:

“Gone wild?

When are you coming back?”

He didn’t expect that at this hour, Xu Tingting would reply.

She wouldn’t dare.

Getting caught still awake in the middle of the night would surely result in a scolding.

The next day, news of Chu Yao’s injury on the set reached Mo Tingshen.

He flew over immediately.

Nan Jiaojiao also heard about it, but not from Chu Yao, rather it was a WeChat Moment posted by her assistant in the crew that caught Nan Jiaojiao’s attention.

She found out by sending a private message to ask.

She sent a video call to Chu Yao, but the other party hung up immediately.

Nan Jiaojiao typed two words:

“Looking for death?”

Within three seconds, Chu Yao video called back.

Nan Jiaojiao answered, frowning, as Chu Yao was using the rear camera, only showing the fridge in the RV, without a trace of her.

“Did you turn into a fridge?”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Then why don’t you show your pancake face?”

“Who’s got a pancake face!” Chu Yao got angry, speaking without thinking, and quickly switched the camera back, “Nan Jiaojiao, you’re pretty sophisticated at insulting people now!”

On the screen, Chu Yao was wearing a neck brace, having to tilt her head back as she leaned against a pillow, her eyes wide open, stubbornly pulling a face.

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “Injured your neck?”

“I was hurt by the wirework.

At the time, I felt one of the wires went slack, with a crackling sound.

I don’t understand, it was clearly loose around the waist, but somehow my neck got hurt.

I’ve been lying down all day, my back’s about to develop sores.”

“Didn’t they check before filming?”

“We check every day.

Today happened to be when the master responsible for the wirework had an errand to send some local produce to his family in town, said he’d be back in the afternoon.

Figuring the equipment had been adjusted yesterday, everyone thought nothing would happen in half a day.

Who knew it would break right at this moment.”

Nan Jiaojiao suspiciously asked, “Related to last time when the prop sword got replaced?”

Chu Yao didn’t understand at first but then realized, “You mean, the troublemakers are the same group?”

“It’s just speculation.

Have Sister Mi investigate.”

Chu Yao sneakily glanced to the side, her gaze quickly retracting as she leaned into the pillow, lightly pulling at the corner of her mouth.

Nan Jiaojiao was about to ask if someone was there, then she saw a pair of hands appear in the camera, peeling an apple, with obsidian-like cufflinks pressed against the watch strap, the wrist bone protruding, the hand holding the fruit knife long and shapely.

No need to ask whose hands those are.

Nan Jiaojiao felt quite embarrassed and said, “Sorry for disturbing.”

She immediately hung up the phone.

Chu Yao blinked and turned the phone upside down, placing it on her chest, feeling dispirited.

Mo Tingshen took the phone away, and she kicked his waist, “What are you doing?

The phone still has the warmth of Jiaobaoer!”
