Jiang Xun took the medicine bottle and weakly said, "Thank you, can I go back for now?"

Looking at her, Qi Yi hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "You may."

Jiang Xun's face was pale as she walked out slowly while supporting herself with the wall.

Qi Yi furrowed his brows and asked, "Do you want someone to take you to the hospital?"

"No need, I'll be fine tomorrow after resting a little." Jiang Xun's voice was so fragile that it made people distressed.

Yet Qi Yi didn't feel distressed. Instead, he only felt a little annoyed to see her like this.

"You sure?"

Seeing how she was struggling to walk, Qi Yi didn't know how long it would take her to walk back to her room.

"Eh."

Jiang Xun's expressionless tears were so beautiful that Qi Yi finally was also unable to bear it. He took two steps forward and walked in front of her to bend over, "Get up."

Jiang Xun puzzledly asked, "What?"

"Get up, I'm going to carry you." Qi Yi said indifferently, "Hurry up."

Jiang Xun let out a hesitant "Oh" and then lay on his back with her arms around his neck.

When Qi Yi got up, he realized she was extremely light and didn't take much effort to carry her on his back. Leaning on his neck with her hair hanging down, he could smell a faint fragrance.

Although she was thin, Qi Yi can feel a soft touch on his back, which shows that she wasn't that kind of bony woman.

Qi Yi froze for a second. For some reason, he thought of how he already hadn't touched a woman for more than a year.

His eyes turned grave as he dispelled the thoughts in his mind.

He can't get involved with the female guests.

Qi Yi's lounge was rather isolated, so no one would come to his room. Besides, everyone was eating at this time and the staff were supervising the guests in the restaurant in rotating shifts. Therefore, there was no one outside. No one saw Qi Yi carrying Jiang Xun all the way back to her room.

Qi Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "You rest, I'll be leaving."

"Thank you." Jiang Xun said.

Qi Yi's footsteps paused, then he left without looking back.

When Qi Yi returned to the master control room, he saw Jiang Xun had changed clothes and was lying on the bed. She was wearing a gray cotton nightdress. It was obviously loose, but it made her appear very thin.

At this time, the staff came in to work after eating. Seeing Jiang Xun lying on the bed with her eyes red, they could tell she had obviously cried and all thought she was scolded to tears by Qi Yi.

Such a beautiful girl still can be scolded by him this badly. Sure enough, this was really Qi Yi's style. In everyone's hearts, they berate him as inhuman.

Jiang Xun didn't go out to eat. Everyone waited for a long time, but still didn't see her. In the master control room, Qi Yi saw the guests asking questions, so he had someone to tell them that Jiang Xun was feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to eat.

The staff thought this was Qi Yi's punishment to Jiang Xun that he didn't even allow her to eat. This is simply too much. At the very least, she was still a guest.

After Qi Yi gave orders, no one moved. Everyone glanced at each other before someone finally spoke up, "Jiang Xun should be tired after going out for an entire afternoon. It's late and if she doesn't eat anything, she might not have the energy to record the show tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah. Let her have something to eat."

Hearing this, Qi Yi understood everyone had misunderstood him. He snorted coldly, "Did I say not to let her eat?"

Everyone was stunned. Then what do you mean? Just now, you asked us to go tell them that she's not eating.

Qi Yi thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Go tell the guests that she's feeling uncomfortable. Ask them to bring her food to see how the male guests will react."

It suddenly dawned on everyone that it turns out to be like this, for the program's effect.

...

When the staff did as told, everyone's reaction was different. Lu Jia asked suspiciously, "Wasn't she fine just now, why is she suddenly uncomfortable?"

Zhao Wen Yin frowned and said in a displeased tone, "Why didn't she tell us earlier? We've been waiting for a long time."

Bai Ran smiled, "Where is Jiang Xun uncomfortable? How about we go see her after we eat?"

"We should take a look at her." Gu Yu stood up.

"Let's eat first before going, the food's getting cold." Lu Jia recommended.

"How about we save some food for her?" Bai Ran suggested.

Gu Li grabbed a bowl with a worried expression. He silently picked a good portion of each of the dishes and another bowl of rice. After thinking about it, he also added a pair of chopsticks.

"Gu Li, you are?" Zhao Wen Yin looked at him in surprise.

Lowering his head to avoid everyone's eyes, Gu Li replied softly, "I'll go take a look."

After he finished speaking, he left.

Everyone looked at each other and watched him leave in a daze.

"Gu Li!" Zhao Wen Yin called, but he didn't even turn back.

Confusion flashed in Bai Ran's eyes as she also stood up, "We should also take a look too."

She followed, while Gu Yu walked behind her.

Zhao Wen Yin stamped her foot and gritted her teeth but also followed them.

The three remaining people glanced at each other, "Let's go, we should probably go too."

...

Qi Yi noticed that Gu Li seemed very anxious about Jiang Xun and couldn't help being surprised. With Gu Li's character, he wouldn't make such a movement if he didn't care very much. But they only spent an afternoon together. Something must have happened between them for him to have changed this much.

Damn, he shouldn't have let Jiang Xun go that easily just now. He should have forced it out of her. What happened this afternoon definitely wasn't as simple as them getting lost.

Qi Yi's gaze fell on Jiang Xun's room again. Jiang Xun was still lying on the bed pretending to be weak, she had better not let him catch a leverage against her again.

Qi Yi turned on the walkie-talkie, "Unit 3, following the other guests, everyone's expressions must be captured."

After he finished speaking, he called in the male guests' on-site director again and exhorted him to his face, "Focused on asking Gu Li in tonight's interview. Ask him what he did with Jiang Xun this afternoon and his feelings toward Jiang Xun, ask him thoroughly."

The on-site director was a little surprised. However, recalling Qi Yi's character, he didn't dare to ask why. He only nodded and responded that he understood.

Gu Li came to the door of Jiang Xun's room and knocked.

"Jiang Xun."

Hearing Gu Li's voice, Gu Li furrowed her brows underneath the blanket. What happened? Why did Gu Li come?

She hadn't reacted yet when she heard Bai Ran's voice again.

"Jiang Xun, are you there? We heard that you were unwell, are you okay?"

Thinking about it, Jiang Xun could guess what happened. She lifted the blanket to reveal her head. The tears on her face were still there, her hair was also messy and her cold face revealed fragile and uncomfortable. Because she kept biting her lip, there was also an inconspicuous bite mark. Moreover, her lips were whitish, making her appear very weak.

Fortunately, she knew that Qi Yi was always watching her. Therefore, she didn't let up at all. Right now, she is still in perfect condition. Even if she was seen, no one would doubt her.

As Jiang Xun slowly made her way to open the door, she heard the voices of several other people talking outside the door.

When she opened the door, everyone was taken aback.

"You… … what's the matter with you?" Lu Jia originally wanted to mock her. However, seeing her face, she was startled and muttered unequivocally.

"Your complexion looks bad, are you sick?" Gu Yu asked.

"You okay?" Gu Li looked at her worriedly.

"I'm okay, my stomach just hurts." Jiang Xun's pale little face didn't have color. When she spoke, she was still holding on to the wall, looking unsteady.

"Were you crying? Did something happen?" Bai Ran noticed that her eyes were red and there were also two tear trails on her face.

"It just hurts uncomfortably... … I feel much better now after taking the medicine." Jiang Xun whispered and then made room, "Don't all stand at the door, come on in."

Lu Jia, "We probably shouldn't bother you resting, so we won't be coming in."

"Gu Li brought you food that you can eat. We are all worried about you." Bai Ran reached out to support her, but was seamlessly avoided.

"I don't have an appetite. I'll be fine after a little rest."

Bai Ran's movements stiffened. Her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Even if you can't eat, you have to eat something. You haven't eaten anything this afternoon, right?" Bai Ran looked at Gu Li.

Gu Li nodded.

Bai Ran said, "Gu Li, why don't you give me the food? I'll stay with Jiang Xun, you guys should go eat first."

"Yes, let's not all squeeze here. Jiang Xun seems very weak. Let Bai Ran accompany her. Bai Ran is better at taking care of people than we are." Zhao Jiu Xuan's eyes towards Bai Ran were full of appreciation.

"Yeah, Gu Li, let's go." Zhao Wen Yin was a little flustered. Gu Li's appearance right now isn't something she was familiar with, as if he really cared about Jiang Xun very much.

Gu Li stared at Jiang Xun without moving.

Jiang Xun peered at him. Her expression was still indifferent, "You guys should leave."

Gu Li was both a little surprised and uneasy. Jiang Xun's change of attitude left him at a loss, he didn't understand what Jiang Xun meant at all.

At this time, Bai Ran reached out and took the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, "You all go to eat, just me here is enough."

Jiang Xun glanced at Bai Ran and sneered inwardly. If she wants to stay, stay. Let's see what she wants to do.

Zhao Wen Yin stepped forward and wanted to pull Gu Li's hand. Gu Li was still wondering why Jiang Xun was so indifferent to him, so he didn't react in time and was caught by Zhao Wen Yin. When he recovered, he subconsciously turned to see Jiang Xun. The look in his eyes was obviously saying "Don't misunderstand", yet Jiang Xun wasn't looking at him.

Gu Li disappointedly pulled his hand out of Zhao Wen Yin's hand, not knowing why he felt a bit aggrieved.

...

Once everyone was gone, Bai Ran set the bowls and chopsticks on the coffee table and then closed the door.

Bai Ran's eyes darkened and turned indifferent when she turned her back on the camera, but when she turned to look at Jiang Xun, it was filled with worry again.

Jiang Xun sat on the side of the bed and didn't speak, nor did she look at her.

"Did your that come?" Bai Ran approached her.

Jiang Xun faintly replied with an "eh" and continued looking out the window. Who knew what she was thinking?

"Jiang Xun, what happened to you lately? Why do I feel that you've changed? You don't even talk to me anymore." Bai Ran said in a wounded tone.

Jiang Xun uttered lightly, "Have I?"

Bai Ran froze, trying her best to restrain the urge to roll her eyes.

She suppressed her anger. Seeing the food on the coffee table, her eyes flashed as she asked, "Gu Li seems to be really worried about you? How was your date this afternoon?"

Jiang Xun raised her head to look at her. She countered with a shocking question, "You seem to care very much about Gu Li?"

Bai Ran's eyes widened in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

There was an unnoticeable tension in her tone. How could this be discovered by Jiang Xun? She obviously hid it well and didn't tell anyone. Besides, she was also extremely ambiguous with Zhao Jiu Xuan.
