Chapter 15
The production team had a doctor on staff who found the medical kit and first cut away the trouser leg. This fully exposed the wound to everyone's view.
"It seems to have been caused by flying stone shards. The thin fabric of the pants didn't provide protection," the doctor explained.
The onlookers gasped at the bloody wound: "Will that need stitches?"
The doctor nodded, "Yes."
Sheng Yuxiao glanced down, taking it in stride: "It's fortunate it didn't hit any major arteries or nerves. Better this than falling and breaking a bone in the chaos. A blessing in disguise, really."
The executive producer was on the verge of tears. Even this small misfortune was unacceptable! How would they explain this to Mr. Sheng and Ms. Xu?
Sheng Yuxiao asked the doctor, "Can you stitch it here?"
New novel are published on After some thought, the doctor shook his head, "The environment isn't ideal. We'd better go to the County Hospital. I'll disinfect it first and apply pressure with gauze to stop the bleeding."
The main issue was that no one dared to take on this responsibility.
After all, this was the Sheng family's only son! Their only son!
Sheng Yuxiao, who usually appeared fierce and unapproachable, was now extremely accommodating. He casually stretched out his leg, "Alright, do what you need to do."
The doctor quickly found iodine, medical cotton, and gauze...
Sheng Yuxiao didn't want to watch the wound being treated, so he turned his head to look at Li Xiaoya, thinking he should comfort the child with some white lies.
Her serious expression as she tried to comfort others was quite adorable.
But as Sheng Yuxiao turned his gaze, he realized Li Xiaoya wasn't by his side at all.
She had been pushed to the edge of the crowd, standing there helplessly with red, teary eyes, looking at him pitifully.
She looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Sheng Yuxiao quickly waved to her, "Come here, come here."
Li Xiaoya staggered forward a couple of steps, then stopped.
Sheng Yuxiao was puzzled, "Is she in shock?" He casually pointed to a staff member, "Go carry her over here."
The staff member nodded and brought Li Xiaoya back to his side.
Now that she was close, he could see her face was deathly pale, her gaze unfocused, and her whole body trembling.
Sheng Yuxiao immediately tried to comfort her, "It was the rocks that hurt me, not you. Why are you crying?"
Li Xiaoya struggled to open her mouth, her voice so thin it seemed she could barely breathe, "Will... will you die?"
So that's what she was worried about.
Sheng Yuxiao's heart softened, and he wanted to pull Li Xiaoya into his arms.
The doctor immediately stopped him, "Don't! Young Master, don't move! Be careful not to touch the wound."
Sheng Yuxiao could only regretfully let go, instead gently patting Li Xiaoya's back, "I need to go to the County Hospital for a bit. Will you wait here for me to come back?"
The look of panic on Li Xiaoya's face suddenly intensified. She clutched his sleeve tightly, "Will you come back?"
"Of course, we haven't finished filming yet."
"You really won't die?"
"I won't. Do I look like I'm about to die?"
Li Xiaoya finally nodded slowly and carefully, then withdrew her hand.
Sheng Yuxiao stared at her for a moment. He had thought she would insist on going to the County Hospital with him.
Sheng Yuxiao sighed. Why did he feel a bit disappointed?
But he also worried that if he were injured, they might not be able to take care of her with so many people around, so he didn't suggest it.
"Take her to wash her face," Sheng Yuxiao told the staff member.
The staff member slapped their forehead, "Oh right, we forgot about that."
Li Xiaoya's face and neck were covered in tears, mud, and even some blood spatter, possibly from when Sheng Yuxiao was injured.
The staff member carried her away, borrowed some hot water from a nearby house, and used a compressed towel from the car to wipe Li Xiaoya's face.
Li Xiaoya sat there numbly, allowing the staff member to clean her.
As they were wiping, her body gave a slight shudder.
The staff member looked closely... there was a cut on her temple!
"So the blood was yours. Does it hurt? Why didn't you say anything earlier?" the staff member frowned.
Li Xiaoya shook her head and said quietly, "It's nothing."
The staff member sighed, saying "How can you call this nothing?", then turned to find the doctor. As luck would have it, the doctor had already left with Sheng Yuxiao, taking another road to the county.
The staff member was at a loss for what to do, so they rummaged through their own bag and found a band-aid and an iodine swab, then went back to Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya was still sitting there, motionless.
As the staff member approached, they heard her mumbling softly, "I really am a jinx..."
The staff member was taken aback, feeling a sudden tightness in their chest.
"Li Xiaoya, you..." the staff member took a step forward.
Li Xiaoya immediately lowered her eyes and closed her mouth.
The staff member sighed, first using the iodine swab to disinfect her wound. Throughout the process, she didn't make a sound. It seemed all her earlier tears were truly just out of fear that Sheng Yuxiao might die.
The staff member's feelings grew increasingly complex as they applied the band-aid, unable to resist saying, "When you study geography in the future, you'll learn that this is a very common natural disaster. You... you're not a jinx."

Li Qingqing had just woken up when she heard the news of Sheng Yuxiao's injury.
And it was to protect Li Xiaoya!
Li Qingqing almost laughed out loud on the spot.
This is perfect!
Now the Sheng family must hate Li Xiaoya!
Even if Li Xiaoya had gained the young master Sheng's favor, what good would it do? She could forget about ever becoming the Sheng family's adopted daughter in this lifetime.
Li Qingqing hurriedly went downstairs, putting on a worried expression as she approached Sheng Jun, "Uncle, I heard that brother was injured? Is it serious?"
Sheng Jun downplayed it, "It's nothing major."
Li Qingqing asked again, "Should we go visit brother?"
Sheng Jun paused, "Do you want to go?"
Li Qingqing nodded repeatedly.
She had heard that Li Xiaoya had been left alone in the village, while Sheng Yuxiao had been sent to the County Hospital. If she could go along with Sheng Jun... their relationship would naturally grow closer.
"Then let's go," Sheng Jun quickly decided.
Li Qingqing was overjoyed, of course, but even now, she didn't forget to feign innocence and ask, "What about Auntie? Isn't she going?"
Sheng Jun said, "She's been very busy lately."
Li Qingqing murmured, "Won't brother be sad if he doesn't see his mom?" What she really wanted to say was that Xu Qiulai, as a mother, was completely incompetent.
Sheng Jun laughed, "Sheng Yuxiao would prefer not to see his mother."
"Huh? Why?" Li Qingqing thought to herself. Could it be that Sheng Yuxiao and his mother don't get along? That would be good news. After all, she despised Xu Qiulai too!
Sheng Jun, however, showed no intention of elaborating further.
Shortly after, the servants packed Li Qingqing's luggage, and they soon set off to fly to the only city with an airport near the mountain village.
Thanks to Sheng Jun, Li Qingqing enjoyed the luxury of first-class for the first time.
But since they weren't filming at the moment, it would be a shame not to show off a little to others.
Li Qingqing quickly took out her phone and snapped a series of photos of the cabin. After landing, she quietly registered a Weibo account and uploaded those pictures with the caption: Thanks to my long-legged uncle.
Having done all this, Li Qingqing carefully put away her phone and turned to look at Sheng Jun.
She saw Sheng Jun narrowing his eyes, "Hmm? That looks familiar. Like that Qin boy!"
The Qin family?
The one that later acquired multiple luxury brands and was dubbed the uncrowned king of Paris?
Li Qingqing followed his gaze.
In the bustling airport terminal, a slender figure in a black coat, surrounded by several bodyguards, quickly disappeared from view.
It was impossible to see clearly.
Sheng Jun only made that one comment and didn't mention the Qin family's young master again.
They drove directly to the County Hospital.
[The young master Sheng is injured. Now there's nothing interesting about village life.]
[Oh my, Li Qingqing is actually going to the hospital with Mr. Sheng to visit the young master! Now things are getting interesting here!]
[I'm out of here]
The number of viewers on Li Xiaoya's stream dropped rapidly.
But just as Li Qingqing and Sheng Jun arrived at the hospital, another black Maybach made a grand entrance, driving along a dirt road into the small mountain village.
Inside the car, Qin Sui asked coldly, "Are all the roads here this bad?"
"There's one road that's okay, but there was just a landslide, wasn't there? The landslide even injured the Sheng family's young master."
Qin Sui immediately said, "Heaven has eyes."
"..." The driver didn't dare to respond.
Qin Sui suddenly asked again, "Do I have to stay at that Li Xiaoya's house like him?"
"According to the show's arrangements, that's the plan."
Qin Sui's tone was cold and hard as he closed his eyes and said, "That's not good news for her. I'm not as easy-going as Sheng Yuxiao."
An unknown amount of time passed.
"We're here."
The car door opened, and the driver invited Qin Sui to get out.
Qin Sui stepped out with his long legs.
The netizens who were still watching Li Xiaoya's stream suddenly perked up, stunned. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
[Holy crap! It's Qin Sui!]
[Young Master Sheng, speak of the devil! You just warned Li Xiaoya not to play with him, and now he's here in person!]
