Chapter 13
On board the bus, Mo Yancheng sat at the last row. Ma Yunyun and Liao Ping sat together on the second row, with Yan Hao in the middle. Meanwhile, Gu Ran immediately found a secluded corner to sit thee moment she boarded.
Despite the sitting arrangement being randomly chosen, Mo Yancheng and company have all chosen to sit towards the left ot the bus, leaving Gu Ran to sit alone on the right. It was a clear show in the disparity between their statuses.
Halfway to their destination, the bus jolted, sending an unprepared Gu Ran crashing into the handlebar mounted into the seat in front of her. Her forehead immediately reddened, and she frowned soundlessly, only pulling her clothes tighter around her frame before shutting her eyes again.
Mo Yancheng lifted his head unintentionally and chanced a glance upon Gu Ran only to find her curled tightly around herself, her cheeks suffused with an abnormal red flush as she furrowed her brows.
She’d fainted yesterday, in the elevator. Now she wasn’t wearing much, and the weather could be considered to be quite cool. Perhaps she had gotten a fever?
As he gave it more thought, Mo Yancheng abruptly opened his mouth to tell the driver to pull over.
Everyone gave him a glance, thinking that he was perhaps uncomfortable. The director was even more nervous, wondering if he had somehow offended his most esteemed guest.
“I’m getting down to buy something.”
The production team hurriedly nodded. “Okay, okay, Master. Pull over by the side.”
Mo Yancheng nodded and disembarked. He returned not long after, holding a paper cup in his hands.
Seeing that, Ma Yunyun smiled sweetly and said, “Oh, so the reason you got off was to buy us all coffee? That’s so sweet of you!”
Mo Yancheng :”…”
He held the paper cup in his hands, and replied neutrally, “There’s only one cup. It has my leftovers.”
Ma Yunyun :”…”
How awkward!
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I was just joking.” Ma Yunyun hurriedly tried to make up for her blunder.
Mo Yancheng hummed lightly and walked back to the back row. However, as he passed by Gu Ran, he passed the cup off to her.
Gu Ran frowned and glared at him in distaste. What was wrong with this dude? Why is he giving her his leftovers?
“Please help me throw it away later,” Mo Yancheng said seriously.
With a straight face, Gu Ran glanced towards the trash can in the bus. Unsurprisingly, it was rather close to where she was seated.
She decided to tolerate his antics on the fact that he was the Movie King.
Gu Ran took it.
Mo Yancheng: “Thanks.”
This matter was treated by everyone as a small interlude. If anything, they now feel that Mo Yancheng was actually very easygoing and friendly.
Gu Ran held the cup in her hands. Yet as she did so, she felt as though something was off and lifted the cup’s lid to sniff at it.
That was the smell of herbal medicine.
She turned her head back to give Mo Yancheng a glance, but he’d already closed his eyes in pretense of sleep. Gu Ran pressed her lips together, and downed the medicine in the cup when nobody was watching. Thereafter she quickly tossed the cup into the trashcan.
With the warm liquid ingested, Gu Ran felt her body relax quite a bit. It was not long before she drowsily dozed off once more.
Mo Yancheng, who’d been under the false pretense of sleep this whole time, suddenly opened his eyes and gazed towards the tiny ball huddled towards the front of the bus that was breathing steadily with the occasional faint snore. His lips twitched upwards slightly as he closed his eyes once more to rest.
This trip looked like it would be rather interesting, to say the least.
Upon their arrival to the airport, the production crew called everyone awake before everyone got off the bus together. To everybody’s surprise, Feng Cheng, who’d left later them, had somehow gotten there before they had.
Feng Cheng had initially thought that he’d be late as well, but luck had seemed to be on his side as he met a fan of his right outside the hotel. Once the fan had heard that he was taking part in a program and had no cash to get to the airport, they’d confidently offered to drive him to the airport themselves, and had even given him plenty of snacks. In the end, both of them took multiple selfies together before reluctantly bidding each other goodbye. The fan had also advised him to have fun, and that they and their whole fan group would be supporting the program.
