Chapter 64 Zhao Jinmai
Seeing that Yu Chen didn't speak, Zhao Jinmai's small hands, which were holding her mask, became a little nervous.
the night before yesterday.
The smell of barbecue from downstairs wafted up to her apartment building. It wasn't until 2 a.m., when most of the people had left, that she sneaked out to buy some skewers to "reopen" her home.
As a result, he slipped and accidentally pushed the person next to him away.
She thought an apology would solve the problem, but the person just collapsed to the ground and wouldn't get up no matter how much she shook him.
She thought she had run into a tough opponent, but when her agent, Sister Wang, arrived and put the person in the ambulance, the person hadn't moved an inch, which really scared her.
I managed to sneak over here today while Sister Wang wasn't looking.
Unexpectedly, they happened to run into the man who had woken up, a man whose cause of coma was still unclear to the doctors.
"When you were unconscious on the pedestrian street the night before last, I was the one who called 120."
Yu Chen suddenly realized.
In other words, the decades that he dominated in that world were only two days in reality.
but----
Isn't this Zhao Jinmai the female lead, Jinmailang, from the novel "The Sun Shines Like Me" that I just transmigrated into?
Top-tier actresses in the real world!
Could this be what the system meant by "there is a will of Heaven in the dark"?
"Thank you. My name is Yu Chen. Thank you for your help."
Yu Chen thought that his sudden fainting had frightened the celebrity who happened to be passing by, so he quickly thanked him, his tone carrying a calmness that came from having experienced many storms.
"No trouble at all!"
Zhao Jinmai quickly waved her hand, her gaze involuntarily sweeping over his face before darting away as if electrocuted. "How are you feeling now? Do you want some water?"
Yu Chen was about to wave his hand and say no, but a dry, itchy feeling came from his throat, and he couldn't help but cough twice.
It was only with this cough that he realized his current physical condition.
His lungs felt refreshed, and his breathing was deep and even, completely free of the dullness left by staying up late and smoking. Although this body was still his original body, it seemed to have been thoroughly cleansed and strengthened, brimming with youthful and vibrant energy.
"Ahem—I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Yu Chen caught his breath; his voice was a little hoarse, but full of energy.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinmai immediately turned around to pour water, her movements as swift as if she were completing some important task. She poured half a glass of warm water, then thoughtfully blew on it before handing it over.
"Here you go! It's warm, not hot."
Yu Chen took the water glass, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against her hand.
It was smooth and tender, with a slightly cool temperature, a stark contrast to his warm palms.
"Thanks."
Yu Chen took a sip of water, the warm liquid flowing down his throat, and his senses became clearer. He looked up and carefully examined the girl in front of him again.
When the mask was removed, her face was indeed incredibly refined. Her skin was so white it seemed to glow, her eyebrows were arched, and her eyes were large, currently looking at him with a mixture of cautious concern.
Although she was wearing a baggy sweatshirt and jeans and huddled in a chair, her pure and sweet charm was unmistakably Zhao Jinmai herself.
"that----"
Yu Chen put down his water glass and tentatively began, "You—you're the one—who acted in 'Growing Pain' and 'The Sun Shines Like Me'—"
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinmai relaxed a little and sat up straighter. "You've seen me act?"
"I've seen it! I've seen it!"
Yu Chen thought to himself: Not only have I seen it, but I even tried to find the same items as you when I first came out of that world!
He blinked, looking at the living Zhao Jinmai in front of him, and a feeling that was both absurd and strange welled up inside him.
One is a superstar who is the center of attention, and the other is an ordinary office worker who has just woken up from his dream of being a "photovoltaic technology tycoon".
Two days ago, Yu Chen would never have believed that he could be sitting in the same hospital room and talking to a celebrity of this caliber.
"Do you like Lin Miaomiao too? She's one of my favorite characters!"
Zhao Jinmai looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.
Yu Chen snapped out of his daze and looked at the girl in front of him, who was so radiant in movies and TV dramas but whose eyes were now shining because of a compliment. The dazed feeling in his heart gradually dissipated and was replaced by a sense of composure.
"Lin Miaomiao is very cute."
Yu Chen said sincerely.
Zhao Jinmai smiled even more broadly, revealing a pair of shallow dimples.
But then, as if remembering something, her smile faded, and her eyes revealed guilt: "That—Yu Chen, right?"
"Um."
"I'm so sorry."
She twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, her knuckles turning white. "The night before last, I thought you were trying to scam me. Later, Sister Wang brought you to the hospital, and the doctor said all your indicators were normal, but you just wouldn't wake up. I thought—I thought you were going to try to pin this on me."
Yu Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
I've traveled through time, and I even managed to win over the same person as you.
"I was just unconscious, not trying to renege on my debt."
Yu Chen spoke calmly, with a sense of composure that comes from having weathered many storms.
"I know! I know now!"
Zhao Jinmai stuck out her tongue playfully and cutely, "To show my apology, I'll pay for the medical expenses! And the nutritional supplements too!"
"Need not."
Yu Chen refused decisively, "It's not your fault, it's my own health that's not good."
"That won't do!"
As if afraid he would refuse, Zhao Jinmai suddenly pulled her phone out of her pocket, tapped a few times, and handed it to him. "Let's add each other on WeChat! This is my alternate account; only a few friends know it. If you don't add me, I'll think you're still angry with me!"
Yu Chen stared blankly at the simple QR code on the screen.
A big star proactively added me on WeChat? And even offered to give me her private alternate account?
If this had happened before he transmigrated, he wouldn't have dared to dream of such a thing.
Looking into Zhao Jinmai's sincere eyes, Yu Chen didn't hesitate and took out his old phone to scan her.
"It's approved."
Yu Chen raised his phone.
Zhao Jinmai looked at the "Added successfully" notification that popped up on her phone, breathed a long sigh of relief, and relaxed completely, as if she had accomplished something of paramount importance.
"Great! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
She stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Um—I have to go. My manager, Sister Wang, is still staking out downstairs. If she finds out I ran away, she'll definitely start nagging me again."
She walked to the door, glanced back at Yu Chen, and waved, "Yu Chen, take good care of yourself! I'll treat you to a big meal when you're discharged! I mean it!"
After saying that, she slipped out the door like a startled fawn.
The ward returned to silence.
Yu Chen looked at the friend request that had just been accepted on his phone screen.
The profile picture is a cartoon sunflower, and the nickname is just one word: "Mai".
He leaned against the headboard, looking at the sunlight outside the window, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Zhao Jinmai ah————"
Although there were no system tasks and the interaction was brief, the feeling of having real contact with "the people on the screen" was really nice.
He held his phone to his chest, feeling the strong beating of his heart.
"Now that you're back—"
Yu Chen closed his eyes, and images of Nie Xiguang, Lin Yusen, and the glorious Chenguang Group flashed through his mind.
"I will never go back to this pathetic life I have now."
All he wants now is to get discharged and go home.
That rented room where he lived for three years, spending all his time sleeping, playing video games, and watching TV series.
He wanted to see when the "broken system" would issue the next time travel mission.
As for Zhao Jinmai—
Yu Chen touched the note on his chest and smiled.
"Since it's fate, let's just let nature take its course."
He is now a man with the experience of "living two lives".
