Chapter 90
==================
Tang Xue gripped Lin Xiaoxiao's uninjured hand tightly, watching nervously as the doctor used iodine to clean Lin Xiaoxiao's wound.
After Lin Xiaoxiao washed her arms with saline solution, they did not look as scary as before.
However, the abrasions on Lin Xiaoxiao's arm were quite extensive, and Tang Xue felt her heart clench when she saw the wound.
Seeing that Tang Xue was staring at her wound, Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and broke free from Tang Xue's grip on her hand.
Before Tang Xue could even express her surprise, she saw Lin Xiaoxiao bury her head in her arms.
He wrapped his uninjured arm around her waist, and a muffled sound came from his embrace into Tang Xue's ears.
"pain."
Tang Xue's attention was immediately drawn to the fluffy head in her arms.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Xiaoxiao's back, gently patting her back with one hand and touching her head with the other, and said softly, "Just bear with it, it will be over soon."
The doctor who was cleaning Lin Xiaoxiao's wound trembled, and the cotton swab in his hand lost control of the pressure.
Lin Xiaoxiao almost cried out in pain, but she gritted her teeth and swallowed the sound that was about to come out.
She slowly turned her head to look at the doctor who was treating her wound. The doctor was also looking in her direction, and their eyes met.
The doctor reached out and adjusted her glasses, and Lin Xiaoxiao silently looked away.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot?" Tang Xue patted Lin Xiaoxiao's back nervously, then looked at the doctor anxiously, "Please be gentle."
"Okay." The doctor smiled kindly and glanced at the head in Tang Xue's arms.
She clearly remembered that when she was cleaning the little girl's wound, the other party had a completely expressionless face until the end.
It was as if she had no pain receptors. If she hadn't seen the sweat on the other girl's forehead after it was over, she would have really thought that this little girl didn't feel pain.
I initially thought the other person was someone who was good at hiding their true feelings, but they immediately revealed their vulnerable side.
Although she was older and more experienced, she was still caught off guard by the young girl's sudden change in demeanor.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what the doctor was thinking, she knew why the other party had lost his composure just now, and snuggled closer to Tang Xue.
Since there are people who can tolerate her, of course she should take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits—no, to act more coquettishly.
Lin Xiaoxiao's wound wasn't treated for too long; after disinfection, medication, and bandages, it was done.
"Don't get it wet after you get home, and change the dressing on time. Don't worry about scarring."
The doctor handed the prescription to Tang Xue and then gave her a few more instructions.
"Okay, I'll be careful." After putting away the prescription, they went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and the three of them returned to the car together.
Just as Chen Qing was about to start the car, his phone rang in his pocket. He glanced at the caller ID, then at the two people sitting in the back seat, before answering the call.
"director."
"Have you checked him? How serious is Mr. Lin's injury? Does he need to be hospitalized?"
As soon as the call connected, the director's somewhat excited voice came through.
Chen Qing reached out and touched her nose, subconsciously lowering her voice, "I've seen a doctor, prescribed medicine, no need to be hospitalized."
When he said the last two words, Chen Qing lowered his voice even further.
But the space inside the car was only so big, so even though Chen Qing's voice was very soft, Lin Xiaoxiao still heard it.
When Lin Xiaoxiao heard the word "hospitalization" from the other party, her expression turned strange. She shook Tang Xue's hand and pointed to herself, "Xiaoxue, do they have some misunderstanding about me?"
She only had a scratch, so how did other people think it had escalated to the point of hospitalization?
Could it be that in other people's eyes, she's the kind of fragile doll who would immediately be hospitalized if she got a minor scratch on her finger?
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's incredulous expression, Tang Xue tilted her head, feeling a little guilty.
Seeing Tang Xue's averted gaze, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, so not only others, but Tang Xue also thought so.
Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, "So, in your minds, a domineering CEO is someone who has to be hospitalized for even the slightest thing?"
Even if others are, she isn't. Turning to look at Tang Xue, Lin Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Xiao Xue, although I am a real domineering CEO, I don't have any of the strange quirks that domineering CEOs have."
Looking at the earnest young girl explaining, Tang Xue smiled and said, "I understand, my dear CEO Lin."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed her eyes. She admitted that she was pleased by Tang Xue's words, "My President Lin."
"Um, Mr. Lin, the director would like to have a chat with you." Feeling guilty for interrupting this beautiful scene, Chen Qing uttered softly.
"Hmm?" Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, and the doubt that had just arisen became clear when she glanced at her arm wrapped in gauze.
Even though it was her own fault, the production team must have felt very uneasy about the guest's injury during filming.
"Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head, sensing the tension in the other person's voice. She moved closer to Tang Xue and rested her head on Tang Xue's shoulder.
"Don't be nervous," Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled. "I'm not some monster, you don't need to be so afraid of me."
Yes, yes, yes.
Where Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't see, the man reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lin Xiaoxiao said she wasn't some kind of monster, but in the men's eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao was far more terrifying than any monster; she was someone whose life or death could be decided with just a single word.
"My injury was caused by my own reasons and has nothing to do with the production team, so you don't need to worry."
Lin Xiaoxiao found a comfortable position and closed her eyes. "Director, you don't need to worry that I will cause trouble for the production team. I never intended to do that."
Although being directly labeled made her a little unhappy, Lin Xiaoxiao could understand the production team's feelings.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Having received Lin Xiaoxiao's accurate answer, the director could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't cause trouble for their production team, their show can continue.
He has truly sacrificed a great deal for this show, going from being completely unknown to having gained some fame. He can no longer bear to give up this show.
He has truly devoted his entire life to this in order to make a name for himself.
It's no exaggeration to say that this show is his life, and now that it's finally starting to do well, he naturally doesn't want to see it fade away again.
So, the moment he learned that Lin Xiaoxiao was injured, he really felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao did not intend to hold them responsible, otherwise, their show would have been over.
"Don't say thank you. This matter has nothing to do with the production team."
Rather, it's because of me that I caused trouble for the production team.
Who would have thought that she would end up like this just from going hiking?
"President Lin, please don't say that. This happened because our program team didn't make proper arrangements in time."
Although Lin Xiaoxiao said she wouldn't hold them responsible, the director wouldn't take advantage of the situation and push all the blame onto Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Alright."
Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless. She didn't want to play this kind of game of pushing and shoving with the other party. It was her fault, no, it was her fault.
Since the other party wants to take the blame, let them take it. Anyway, she won't cause any trouble, and the production team won't suffer any losses.
"I wonder what Mr. Lin's plans are next? Are you leaving today?"
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes. "What did you just say?"
She really felt like she had misheard. What did she mean by asking if she was planning to leave today? No, why would she leave?
What's wrong with this production team? They already said they wouldn't cause them any trouble, so why are they so eager to leave on their own?
"I wanted to ask about President Lin's future plans." The director didn't detect anything amiss in Lin Xiaoxiao's tone and simply repeated his own words.
In his view, Lin Xiaoxiao was already injured and would definitely not continue to participate in the recording, so he naturally asked such a question.
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. "From what the director is saying, he wants me to voluntarily withdraw from the recording?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little unhappy. Although she was injured, it would definitely affect the later recording.
But this show was arranged by Bai Bing to help her cultivate her relationship with Tang Xue. She hasn't made any progress yet, and they're already kicking her out. How could she possibly be happy?
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Whether or not we participate in the recording depends on President Lin's decision." The director finally noticed the unhappiness in Lin Xiaoxiao's voice.
He didn't want Lin Xiaoxiao to quit filming voluntarily; rather, he hoped that Lin Xiaoxiao could stay.
After all, since Lin Xiaoxiao and Tang Xue joined the show, it has been trending on social media several times, which is a sign that the show is going to be a hit.
At this moment, everyone wants to seize this opportunity that may become a huge hit.
If it were someone else, they could use the penalty for breach of contract to argue for the possibility of staying to continue filming.
But Lin Xiaoxiao, isn't it ridiculous of you to bring up breach of contract penalties in front of the chairman of the Lin Group?
"Of course I want to stay and continue filming." Lin Xiaoxiao said, a little frustrated. "I also know that my current situation will affect the filming later."
“I can help her,” Tang Xue immediately interjected. “When there are tasks to complete, please group the two of us together.”
Tang Xue was actually a little conflicted. Lin Xiaoxiao was injured, and she naturally hoped that Lin Xiaoxiao could recover well.
However, they have finally found an opportunity to spend every day together, and she still longs to continue filming with Lin Xiaoxiao.
It allows her to maintain her exposure while also developing a relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao. It's safe to say that Tang Xue really enjoys this show.
Tang Xue had originally planned to discuss the arrangements with Lin Xiaoshuo.
But then she thought that even if Lin Xiaoxiao left the production team to go back and recover from her injury, she would still stay and continue to participate in the filming.
Rather than separating the two, it would be better to let Lin Xiaoxiao stay and continue participating in the recording.
With her by her side to take care of her, Tang Xue felt more at ease. She was really worried about letting Lin Xiaoxiao go back to recover on her own.
"OK."
The director's tone brightened upon hearing that Lin Xiaoxiao was willing to stay and continue filming.
