Duanmu Huai couldn’t be bothered with other matters.
But filming was indeed quite tiring.
Maybe I should retire after a few more years.
Early that morning, after finishing shooting, Duanmu Huai dragged his exhausted body, carrying a suitcase, walking towards ho. His body was gradually growing, and so directors had suggested broadening his acting range. Although horror movies were fine, people always wanted more ways to earn money, ultimately wanting to profit from fa, just like Arima Kana. Simply acting wasn’t enough; one needed other paths to monetize fa.
A director had even proposed a plan for shooting a youth idol romance film when he grew up, which left Duanmu Huai speechless.
He didn’t want to act in romance films with n; the re thought of it gave him goosebumps.
But if it were to play a psychopathic killer, he would gladly kill off all those pretty boys.
All the handso ones must die.
"Hua... hmm?"
As Duanmu Huai stepped out of the elevator, he saw a man in a hoodie holding a bouquet, standing at the door not far away.
Who was that?
Just as Duanmu Huai was about to walk over to ask, the door opened, and Xingye Ai stepped out. The next mont, Duanmu Huai saw the hooded man pull out a knife and stab at Xingye Ai!
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was startled and then grabbed his suitcase and threw it directly at the attacker!
"Bang!"
The small suitcase hit the hooded man, knocking him to the ground. At the sa ti, Xingye Ai also fell.
"Are you okay?"
Duanmu Huai hurriedly ran forward. He saw a dagger embedded in Xingye Ai’s abdon; she lay on the ground, looking bewildered. When she saw Duanmu Huai, she forced a faint smile.
"Ah, you’re back..."
"Yes, anyway, don’t move. I’ll call an ambulance..."
Duanmu Huai checked Xingye Ai’s wound and breathed a sigh of relief; at least the knife hadn’t been pulled out, and there wasn’t much blood loss. Of course, first aid was still urgently needed. He quickly used his phone to call the police and an ambulance, then went to Xingye Ai’s side, glancing at the man he had knocked out with his suitcase.
"Who is he?"
Surely not this body’s cheap old man?
"Ryosuke... he’s my fan... I’ve seen him many tis at handshake events..."
Xingye Ai looked at the man and spoke in a low voice.
"It seems he feels I deceived him, so he ca for revenge..."
"..."
How should I put it, this day was bound to co sooner or later? Hearing this, Duanmu Huai silently rolled his eyes.
He had always thought this path would get him stabbed eventually... of course, it was too late to say this now.
"I... I’m just an irresponsible, hopeless person. Although I say on stage that I love everyone, in truth, no matter how anyone tells to love others, I don’t know how to do it..."
Saying this, Xingye Ai looked at Duanmu Huai and smiled slightly.
"Actually, I think you and I are quite similar."
"Really...?"
"Yes, what exactly is love? I imagine... you probably haven’t thought about it either... although you always played the role of a sister well, I can tell. Because I’m like you, after all..."
"..."
Listening to Xingye Ai, Duanmu Huai remained silent; as she said, he didn’t understand love at all.
"Have you ever wanted to love soone?"
"...No."
Duanmu Huai shook his head.
"I’m not good at that."
"Yes, indeed..."
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Xingye Ai smiled slightly.
"I saw Ruby’s dance at kindergarten, it was really great. If everything goes well, maybe one day, mother and daughter can perform on stage together... that’s what I thought..."
"..."
Duanmu Huai looked at Xingye Ai, silent.
"But it’s you who resembles more... learning how to love people is really difficult. Even if what I say is a lie, I still embrace the hope of falling in love with soone, singing songs about love. And I wish... that soday, this lie becos reality."
As she spoke, Xingye Ai closed her eyes.
"Today’s do performance, it seems like it will have to stop. I’m really sorry to everyone, and the movie shoot schedule was already tentatively set too... Please apologize to the director for ... "
"Ding dong..."
At that mont, the elevator bell rang, followed by the sound of bustling footsteps approaching from behind. Only then did Duanmu Huai stand up and silently sigh.
After that, Xingye Ai was taken to the hospital, and the man was arrested by the police. Luckily, his sister was asleep at the ti and didn’t notice anything unusual. When she woke up, Duanmu Huai only told her Xingye Ai was injured and receiving treatnt at the hospital.
As for the outco...
"Her life is saved."
The doctor, walking out of the operating room, looked serious and solemn. Hearing this, the manager, Duanmu Huai, and Ruby all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, that wasn’t the end.
"But due to severe injuries, when she’ll wake up is uncertain. Maybe tomorrow, or... she might never wake up."
"What ———!"
Hearing this, the sister turned pale, and the manager’s expression also changed drastically.
"Really? Doctor? Is there no better way?"
"For now, this is all we can do... all we can do is wait."
