Chapter Nineteen: You Two Are Really Too Much!

For Ouyang Junyan, who had just turned twenty-five, choosing between Fang Zhiyin and UI was an impossibly difficult decision!

"Alright! Honey! I promise you!" In the end, Ouyang Junyan decided to give up on that little idol.

Yet before Fang Zhiyin had a chance to feel happy, she heard him say, "Give me one more day!"

"What did you say?"

"UI just started filming these past couple of days, and tonight there's a big night scene..." Ouyang Junyan rambled. "Tonight I'll go visit the set, and tomorrow I'll resign as president of the fan club."

"You!!"

She was so furious she could hardly stand it!

Around nine that evening, Ouyang Junyan left. Fang Zhiyin hadn’t intended to go, but worried his body might suddenly transform into someone else...

She had no choice but to quietly follow him.

On the way to the set, Ouyang Junyan was deeply moved. "Honey! You clearly hate me chasing after idols, but you're still willing to go with me to support UI! You must really love me!"

I love the real you, thank you very much!

"Just remember what you promised me," Fang Zhiyin replied, not hiding her annoyance.

"I remember." He nodded vigorously.

By the time they arrived, it was already past midnight.

Because Ouyang Junyan was the president of the fan club, and since UI hadn’t started filming yet, he was able to bring Fang Zhiyin to watch from the side of the set.

UI may or may not have seen him, but Fang Zhiyin noticed she regarded Ouyang Junyan with complete indifference.

Fang Zhiyin thought, this foolish man, acting as her fan club president—perhaps she doesn’t even recognize him.

"Alright! The night shoot is about to begin!" Suddenly, the director shouted at the crew, "Everyone, stay sharp!"

After that, UI was fitted with the harness for the wire work.

Ouyang Junyan, seeing how uncomfortable it looked, winced as if he felt the pain himself.

Fang Zhiyin was thoroughly speechless.

It was UI’s first time acting, and she kept missing her lines and cues; even simple movements and dialogue proved challenging, making everyone below the stage anxious.

After two scenes, the director called for another break, and UI finally walked over to Ouyang Junyan and Fang Zhiyin.

"Are you staying all night?" UI didn’t even glance at Fang Zhiyin, directing her question straight to Ouyang Junyan.

"Yes." After nodding, Ouyang Junyan remembered Fang Zhiyin was beside him, so he added, "UI, once you finish filming, save me a little time. I have something to tell you."

"Alright." UI smiled sweetly.

Fang Zhiyin shot her a suspicious look, then glanced at Ouyang Junyan—these two were acting strangely!

The next scene began.

Ouyang Junyan found two chairs and sat with Fang Zhiyin. Fang Zhiyin felt she was about to doze off.

After another short scene, UI waved at Ouyang Junyan.

Ouyang Junyan immediately flashed her a "V" sign.

Fang Zhiyin: Are you two flirting right under my nose?!

She wondered to herself if she and Ouyang Junyan would really stay until dawn for UI's shoot. The thought startled her—surely not...

But no one expected UI still had a more difficult wire scene ahead.

After one take, the director wasn’t satisfied and asked for a second.

Ouyang Junyan, watching, grew more and more nervous, unconsciously standing up, his heart pounding in his throat.

"Worried?" Fang Zhiyin asked.

"Of course!" Ouyang Junyan blurted out. "She could’ve used a stunt double, but she didn’t! Honey, UI is actually really hardworking!"

Seeing the sparkle in his eyes, Fang Zhiyin could only smile wryly.

UI, suspended in midair, saw Ouyang Junyan stand up and immediately gave him an "OK" hand sign, meaning "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Fang Zhiyin: Honestly, you two are too much!

On the second take, UI was emotionally in the zone and her performance was improved, but the crew below, worn out, failed to secure the wires in time, so UI, while reciting her lines in midair, suddenly plummeted straight downward.

"Ah!!!"

Fang Zhiyin heard Ouyang Junyan cry out, almost instinctively, as if he himself were the one falling.

Ouyang Junyan’s mind went blank, but his reflexes took over—he was almost the first to rush to her...

"Linlin!!!"

Linlin? Who was that?

Only later did Fang Zhiyin learn that UI’s real name was Chen Linlin.

Before Chen Linlin completely lost consciousness, everything going black, she heard Ouyang Junyan’s desperate voice, screaming her name again and again, echoing endlessly in her ears.

Chen Linlin wanted so badly to tell him, "Don’t worry, I... I’m alright..."

It wasn’t just the wire crew who were overworked; every lead actor in this drama was the same—none had slept more than four hours in days.

But Chen Linlin certainly hadn’t expected to fall from above.

A group of people rushed her to the hospital.

Fang Zhiyin followed Ouyang Junyan there, watching as he grew genuinely worried about Chen Linlin, calling and texting other fans from the club on the way.

Fang Zhiyin was utterly confused! Just what had this guy done behind the scenes in Ouyang Junyan’s body?!

After about thirty minutes of emergency treatment, Chen Linlin finally woke up. She felt weak, tried to move, but found herself immobilized except for her eyes.

"Ouyang!" Seeing Ouyang Junyan beside her, Chen Linlin cried out, "Why can’t I move?! Am I paralyzed?"

She was only eighteen!

"Linlin, you’re fine!" Ouyang Junyan assured her. "The doctor said it’s nothing serious."

"Then why can’t I move?!" Chen Linlin sobbed, "Are you just afraid to tell me the truth because you think I’ll be upset?"

On the side, Fang Zhiyin felt like she was watching some melodramatic romance, wishing she had sunflower seeds to snack on while enjoying the show.

"Try moving again." Eventually, Fang Zhiyin couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke lazily.

At her words, Chen Linlin tried again—and, sure enough, she could move.

She wasn’t paralyzed! What a scare!

"See! How could anything be wrong?" Ouyang Junyan exclaimed. "You’re just starting your career, you’re so young! And you have so many people who love you..."

Enough!!

Fang Zhiyin couldn’t take it anymore! She was about to boot Ouyang Junyan out of the room so the patient could rest, when suddenly Ouyang Junyan bounced far away, his expression shifting in an instant to one of disbelief as he asked, "Who are you?"

Fang Zhiyin was stunned—Ouyang Junyan was looking at Chen Linlin and asking who she was.
