The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 31
Qu Anruo smiled and took a bite. Director Bai watched the two of them with a toothache, the ice shave in his hand tasted painful.
Seeing that Qu Anruo didn’t let go of the spoon, Gu Jingyun cleared her throat. Qu Anruo chuckled “hehe” and let go, then clung to Gu Jingyun again.
Director Bai couldn’t stand it anymore. She clapped her hands and said, “It’s starting now, Jingyun, get ready.”
Gu Jingyun nodded, put the ice-shave in Qu Anruo’s hand, and said, “Anruo, eat here. I’m going to shoot.” With that, she tidied her clothes and followed Director Bai to the filming location.
Qu Anruo was a little worried about something going wrong. She placed the ice-shave in Yuan Yuan’s hand, who was standing by, and followed them as well.
“A little later, Jingyun, you just need to naturally fall into the water after being pushed,” Director Bai instructed Gu Jingyun, then had the crew prepare everything.
“Action!” After Director Bai said the cue, Gu Jingyun immediately got into character.
“Wanyao, do you think we can escape?” Muyan asked, looking at Wanyao.
Wanyao covered her mouth and smiled, “Yanyan, we definitely can.”
As the two spoke, they arrived at a lakeside. “Heh, Wanyao, I didn’t expect to meet you here,” Zuoqin said, walking aggressively toward the two of them.
Qu Anruo watched from the side. She hadn’t expected Director Bai to film a movie where the world only contained men and women; this fact quite astonished her.
In the movie, Wanyao and Muyan got together because they loved each other, but the ending…
Suddenly, the sound of splashing water made Qu Anruo look over. In the movie, Muyan angers Zuoqin by protecting Wanyao and is pushed into the water, where she struggles for a while.
But Gu Jingyun was in the water for too long. Qu Anruo couldn’t help but walk forward to look.
Something was wrong! “Where is the lifeguard!” Qu Anruo shouted, rushing towards the lake.
Director Bai, seeing that something was wrong with Gu Jingyun in the monitor, frantically shouted, “Where are the people! Hurry up and save her!”
The rescue staff’s movements were surprisingly slow. Qu Anruo couldn’t care less, she immediately stripped off her jacket and jumped into the lake.
She shouldn’t have agreed to Director Bai letting Gu Jingyun film in a real lake!
After falling into the water, Gu Jingyun only felt icy cold. Just as she was about to swim up, something in her clothing seemed to prick her. Following that, half of her body started to go numb.
“Cough…” She wanted to speak but was choked by a mouthful of water. Then her head grew heavier and heavier, and her consciousness gradually faded.
It was ridiculous. She couldn’t even struggle before she died. It was a pity she hadn’t gotten to hug Qu Anruo well again. She wondered if Qu Anruo would forget her…
Her vision gradually blurred. Gu Jingyun felt she couldn’t hold on any longer. Her instinctive will to survive made her reach out, trying to grab onto something.
Got it… Qu Anruo grabbed Gu Jingyun and began laboriously dragging her upwards.
“Cough cough.” Qu Anruo was physically exhausted after bringing Gu Jingyun ashore. A crowd surrounded them on the bank. Director Bai had already gotten into the water and looked at the two of them anxiously.
The rescue staff quickly tried to step forward to take Gu Jingyun, but Qu Anruo dodged them. Qu Anruo looked at them with cold eyes.
Qu Anruo placed the unconscious Gu Jingyun on the ground, knelt down immediately, and started performing CPR and artificial respiration, but there was no response for a while.
Yuan Yuan had already called 120, but the ambulance hadn’t arrived yet.
【666, if Gu Jingyun dies… take me with her.】 Qu Anruo had no attachments to this world; her only attachment was Gu Jingyun. If Gu Jingyun had a problem, there was no need for her to remain.
【Host… the female lead still has a heartbeat! As long as she gets to the hospital, she will definitely be fine!】 666 tried its best to comfort Qu Anruo, but Qu Anruo no longer had her former vitality. It couldn’t think of anything else to say.
The ambulance arrived, and Qu Anruo went to the hospital with the medical team.
Sitting in a chair outside the emergency room, Qu Anruo covered her face, not letting anyone see her expression.
Twice now. Why did Gu Jingyun have to bear this kind of danger? What did this world mean?
【666, who is in charge of this world?】
【The Heavenly Dao (Tiandao).】 After 666 spoke, Qu Anruo’s eyes became wild. 【Can I destroy it?】 After Qu Anruo asked, 666 looked at her cautiously, afraid that any wrong word would anger Qu Anruo again.
The Heavenly Dao… ha…
Qu Anruo stood up, looked at the emergency room, and then followed Yuan Yuan, who had rushed over, to change her clothes.
Hearing that Gu Jingyun had been moved out of the emergency room, Yuan Yuan told Qu Anruo, “General Manager Qu, Sister Jingyun has been transferred to the ICU.”
Qu Anruo nodded and hurried over.
Gu Jingyun knew how to swim. The lake had been checked before filming, and there was nothing in it. Was someone trying to frame Gu Jingyun again?
Qu Anruo noted the suspicion and went to the outside of the ICU.
Gu Jingyun lay quietly inside, looking pale and fragile. It wasn’t visiting time yet, so Qu Anruo could only watch Gu Jingyun from outside.
Yuan Yuan looked at the thinly dressed Qu Anruo and worriedly said, “General Manager Qu, you should rest too. You’ll catch a cold like this.”
Qu Anruo clenched her fist and coughed twice near her mouth: “It’s fine.” She turned around: “What did Director Bai say?”
“Director Bai is questioning the lifeguards. But there’s no news yet.”
Qu Anruo listened, then looked back at Gu Jingyun.
Gu Jingyun opened her eyes and saw Qu Anruo: “Who are you?” She looked at Qu Anruo with vigilance.
“I’m Qu Anruo. Doesn’t Sister recognize me?” The Qu Anruo in front of her smiled and tried to take Gu Jingyun’s hand.
“No, you are not her.” Gu Jingyun took a few steps back and looked at Qu Anruo.
Discovering that Gu Jingyun had recognized that she wasn’t the real Qu Anruo so quickly, the other Qu Anruo smiled.
“I am her. She is me, and I am her. We are no different. Sister should go find her.” After Qu Anruo spoke, Gu Jingyun felt a blinding glare.
Qu Anruo glanced at Gu Jingyun: “Goodbye, Sister…” Her words were full of loneliness, and then she disappeared.
We will meet again soon…
“Sister!” Gu Jingyun opened her eyes and saw Qu Anruo calling her name.
“Anruo?” Gu Jingyun had just opened her mouth when Qu Anruo excitedly hugged her.
The nurse saw Qu Anruo hugging Gu Jingyun and quickly stopped her: “Hey! Family member, don’t be so excited. The patient just woke up.”
Qu Anruo released Gu Jingyun and obediently sat in the chair.
Gu Jingyun touched Qu Anruo’s hand: “Why are your hands so cold? And your hair is a bit wet?”
“Ah, I accidentally spilled water when I was drinking,” Qu Anruo quickly made up an excuse that even she didn’t believe when asked suddenly.
Looking at the Qu Anruo in front of her, Gu Jingyun thought back to the previous Qu Anruo and felt relieved. How could there be two Qu Anruos?
Qu Anruo held Gu Jingyun’s hand tightly and asked, “How are you feeling, Sister? Is there anything uncomfortable?”
Gu Jingyun shook her head: “It’s fine, just my throat is a little uncomfortable.”
Qu Anruo asked the nurse to check on Gu Jingyun.
After the nurse left, Qu Anruo sat silently in the chair, looking at the floor.
Gu Jingyun gently asked, “What’s wrong?” Qu Anruo shook her head: “Nothing.” She was just scared that Gu Jingyun might never wake up again.
Gu Jingyun got up and knelt on the hospital bed, hugging Qu Anruo.
“Sister, people are watching…” The nurses outside had been watching them and all smiled knowingly when they saw the two embracing.
Gu Jingyun stroked Qu Anruo’s head and pressed it against her chest: “Don’t mind them.” Feeling Gu Jingyun’s strong heartbeat, Qu Anruo let Gu Jingyun hold her with peace of mind.
After a while, hearing the phone ring, Qu Anruo wanted to answer it, but Gu Jingyun hadn’t let go yet. Helplessly, Qu Anruo used her finger to tap Gu Jingyun’s side waist: “Sister, the phone is ringing.”
Only then did Gu Jingyun release Qu Anruo. Qu Anruo picked up the phone and saw it was Director Bai calling. She was still a little angry at Director Bai and didn’t plan to answer. Gu
Jingyun saw her pouting and took the phone.
“General Manager Qu?” Director Bai called cautiously, afraid of making Qu Anruo unhappy.
“Director Bai, it’s me.” Hearing Gu Jingyun’s voice, Director Bai’s hanging heart dropped.
“Jingyun, are you feeling better?” Director Bai asked about Gu Jingyun’s condition. Since Gu Jingyun answered the phone, Qu Anruo was likely next to her.
Gu Jingyun didn’t have time to answer before Qu Anruo snatched the phone: “Director Bai, what is it?”
Hearing Qu Anruo’s voice, Director Bai sat up straight: “General Manager Qu, this incident is the crew’s fault. We will definitely take responsibility.”
“Director Bai, you should manage the issues on Weibo now. The news about Gu Jingyun going to the hospital is probably already a trending topic.” Qu Anruo ended her statement there and hung up the phone.
Director Bai scratched his head and opened his phone. The trending headline was: [Gu Jingyun and General Manager Qu Jingruo mysteriously went to the hospital…] Director Bai was torn between crying and laughing. Someone who didn’t know might think they went to the hospital because they were having a baby.
This clearly looked fake, but Director Bai checked the comments and realized he was behind the times. Below, everyone was asking if the two had a relationship, and some even dug up Jingruo Company to ask if it was named after them.
The hospital was surrounded by reporters and fans. Qu Anruo saw the crowd outside and was afraid of affecting the hospital, so she called her bodyguards and went out.
Qu Anruo stood in front of the crowd, surrounded by bodyguards. “Thank you for caring so much about Jingyun, but this is a hospital, and I hope everyone won’t disrupt the hospital’s order.”
“There is no baby or anything like that. Everyone, please don’t guess wildly,” Qu Anruo said, her face a little flushed. Why were so many people thinking such things!
Seeing the blushing Qu Anruo, they quickly took pictures as the bodyguards moved people away. It was like conclusive evidence, and the CP fans of the two went wild.
Look, General Manager Qu is even blushing. Their relationship must be extraordinary.
What does blushing prove! It proves it’s love!
Gu Jingyun had been transferred to a regular ward. After Qu Anruo entered the ward, she turned on her phone and found that the comments had started again. She reluctantly turned off her phone, ready to deal with it quietly.
Gu Jingyun hadn’t fully stabilized and couldn’t have any scandals with anyone.
Gu Jingyun didn’t know what had happened. She tugged on Qu Anruo’s clothes: “Why was it so noisy outside just now?” Qu Anruo tucked the blanket around Gu Jingyun: “It’s nothing, it’s been taken care of.”
Gu Jingyun listened, then picked up the book next to her and started reading: “I made Anruo worry again.” Qu Anruo leaned into Gu Jingyun’s arms: “It’s okay. As long as Sister is fine, that’s all that matters.”
