"Then you absolutely can't carry me! What if your foot really hurts?" Wen Yunyi was still extremely unwilling.
“It wasn’t just my leg that was injured that time. Get on, Wen Yunyi,” Wen Cheng said, his face pale, as he steadied the vehicle. But this time, he was more reliable than ever.
Wen Yunyi knew in his heart that he couldn't delay any longer, so he could only grit his teeth, support Wen Cheng's shoulders, and climb up, braving the seeping rain.
Wen Yunyi was, after all, the weight of an adult, and Wen Cheng couldn't help but stumble halfway up the wall. Wen Yunyi, who was on top, also lost his balance and tried to steady himself by grabbing the edge of the wall with both hands, which brought down a lot of dirt, all of which hit Wen Cheng on the head.
Wen Yunyi felt an unprecedented sense of guilt.
"Wen Cheng, how about we think of something else?"
"Keep going like this. I'll try not to move from here on out. Hurry up," Wen Cheng said, reaching out to support Wen Yunyi's legs so he could steady himself. The sharp pain in his feet almost made him suffocate, but he had endured much worse things before, so this was nothing. He didn't want this accident to become a lifelong regret, after all, he had only met one person he loved so much in two lifetimes.
It took Wen Yunyi three minutes to finally kneel steadily on Wen Cheng's shoulders.
Perhaps because they had been so unlucky, Lady Luck finally took pity on them and gave them a bit of good fortune. Just as Wen Yunyi caught a glimpse of the scenery outside, he saw a dense mass of heads emerging from the slope ahead.
"Wen Cheng, Wen Cheng, I see someone! Here! We're here!!!" Wen Yunyi shouted excitedly, and the group of people quickly approached.
When the rain finally parted and the crowd appeared, Wen Yunyi's expression was filled with undisguised shock. "Big, Big Brother!"
Wen Qi walked at the front, carrying a black umbrella. His black coat was dripping wet, and the gloom and breakdown on his face were almost visible to the naked eye. Even when he saw Wen Yunyi, the breakdown on his face did not fade in the slightest. However, he possessed an uncontrollable ability to suppress his breakdown.
"Give me your hand!" Wen Qi said quickly.
Wen Cheng's consciousness was fading, but he could still vaguely hear Wen Qi's voice. It must be his imagination; Brother Qi was working in a faraway city, how could he possibly come here? Besides, he had said he was busy.
As soon as the weight on her shoulders lifted, before Wen Cheng could even catch her breath, a shovelful of mud completely buried her.
Holy crap!
Wen Cheng is getting her burial services a hundred years from now in advance.
Wen Yunyi hadn't expected that his pull would almost fill the hole completely. Following behind Wen Qi were the police officers who had just arrived.
The first thing Wen Yunyi did after surviving the ordeal was to shout with red eyes, "Wen Cheng is still in the cave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yunyi felt a gust of wind pass by, blowing his black umbrella far away. Wen Qi, facing the muddy ground, didn't hesitate to reach his hand in. The area around the entrance had collapsed, leaving only the harder ground. Wen Qi knelt on the ground, digging frantically with both hands.
Wen Yunyi stared blankly at his older brother, who was working so hard, for a long time before quickly joining the rescue effort alongside the police officers.
Wen Qi dug desperately downwards, splattering dirt all over him. His usual fastidiousness vanished here, replaced by an overwhelming feeling of suffocation. Dirt was embedded in his fingernails, stinging him, but Wen Qi felt nothing.
Until I touched a layer of warmth,
"Excuse me, I've found him," Wen Qi said, clearing away the surrounding police officers and Wen Yunyi.
With his body almost disappearing into the makeshift hole, Wen Qi buried his hands deep into the hole he had just dug, using his knees and waist to pull Wen Cheng out single-handedly. The cold sweater made his hands tremble uncontrollably.
Wen Qi mustered all his strength to stand up, pulling Wen Cheng tightly into his arms. Wen Cheng was dazed and unresponsive.
"Wen Cheng!!" Wen Qi roared.
Wen Cheng slowly opened her eyes. The dizziness she had just experienced was dispelled by Wen Qi, and then her eyes gradually regained their light. It really was Brother Qi...
"Brother Qi," Wen Cheng called softly in a broken voice.
Wen Qi's eyes reddened, and he said tremblingly, "I'm here, Chengcheng."
Wen Cheng finally felt relieved and wrapped her arms around Wen Qi's shoulders, ignoring the gazes of everyone present. "Brother Qi, my feet hurt, they hurt so much," Wen Cheng's coquettishness was like a powerful medicine to Wen Qi.
He held Wen Cheng tightly in his arms. A police officer offered to help, but Wen Qi shook his head and refused, saying, "He's light, I can manage."
Only after confirming Wen Cheng's safety did Wen Qi finally calm down. From the anticipation of getting off the plane at the airport to the shock of receiving Yan Luan's call, and then the breakdown after searching for nearly an hour, he finally found her.
Wen Qi turned his head and saw Wen Yunyi picking up a cell phone from the bushes not far away. It was the cell phone that Wen Cheng had dropped.
"Ayi, let's go." Wen Qi called out a name he hadn't used in many years.
Wen Yunyi's eyes instantly reddened. He hummed in agreement and quickly followed. On the way, Wen Yunyi tried tapping Wen Cheng's phone, and miraculously, it lit up. Raindrops were continuously seeping into the phone, but it didn't affect the screen's brightness at all.
Wen Yunyi looked ahead as if sensing something, and Wen Cheng, who was being held by Wen Qi and had her head resting on Wen Qi's shoulder, gave him a particularly smug wink.
Wen Yunyi was overwhelmed with emotions and couldn't help but laugh out loud, but tears followed.
What are you doing? Why are you thinking of yourself at a critical moment?

Goodnight~
Chapter 84 Punishment
Back at the hotel, Wen Cheng first struggled to take a shower in her wheelchair. Wen Qi was supposed to come in and help, but his room was packed with people. If Brother Qi came in now, the news of the two Wen brothers being together would spread throughout the entire business district in less than a minute, and then neither he nor Brother Qi would be able to go home.
The hot water poured on her injured foot brought a slight warmth, and the pain lessened somewhat. Taking advantage of the moment, Wen Cheng quickly put on the most difficult-to-wear pants, then pushed her wheelchair out. The people in the room immediately crowded around to inquire about her injury.
Wen Cheng was surrounded by a crowd. "I'm so sorry that I didn't pay attention to my personal safety when I went out today and made everyone worry."
Wen Cheng sincerely apologized, after all, in the few hours between his disappearance and his return, the entire film crew hadn't stopped working.
Everyone said it was alright. After all, Wen Cheng was covered in mud and was in a semi-conscious state when she was carried back, which really scared them. It was a miracle that she was able to talk to them and apologize now that she had taken a shower and was full of energy.
The director, who was usually quite strict, was much more relaxed now: "Chengcheng, you should rest well and not think too much. Tomorrow we're planning to film Yan Luan first, so take a day off and get yourself in shape."
Wen Cheng nodded obediently, but her eyes unconsciously began to search for Qi Ge's shadow.
"Besides, we weren't much help this time. You should thank President Wen for carrying you back in the pouring rain," the director said excitedly, making way for Wen Qi to sit in the center. Wen Qi, standing at the back, had wet hair, his black coat was nowhere to be seen, and his gray shirt was soaked. His eyes were tired, but he still forced a confident demeanor. Wen Cheng's nose instantly stung with tears.
The word "brother" was on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back down.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen," Wen Cheng said with great difficulty.
Wen Qi's acting skills were several levels above Wen Cheng's, but he didn't seem to have any intention of acting at the moment, and said sarcastically, "Why are you thanking me? I should thank you, at least you gave me the opportunity to help you find a doctor."
Brother Qi was really angry this time. He was already furious enough when I twisted my ankle before, but this time...
Wen Cheng couldn't help but shudder.
But everyone else heard a completely different interpretation: Was President Wen disapproving of Wen Cheng?
The director looked at Wen Cheng with considerable regret. He thought Wen Cheng was a promising talent, but the big boss didn't like him. The director, however, couldn't help but defend Wen Cheng, showing his appreciation for talent.
"Mr. Wen, Chengcheng is just young, as long as she's alright, right? Look at you, your clothes are all soaked and you were still worried about Chengcheng's safety. Thank you so much. Why don't you go back to your room and take a shower now? We can take care of Chengcheng, so we won't trouble you any further." The director thought he had phrased it quite tactfully.
Standing to the side, Xie Nianyu grew increasingly displeased. When did someone's younger brother ever need her concern? Oh, right, the rest of the crew didn't know Wen Cheng's true identity as the young master. Xie Nianyu gave the director a pathetic look.
Wen Cheng's inner thoughts: Don't say anything, can't you see that Brother Qi's face is getting worse and worse?
Just before Wen Qi completely turned to the dark side, Wen Yunyi entered with his family's private doctor.
"Brother, Dr. Bai has arrived," followed by an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face. The old man carried a medicine box on his back and had a somewhat ethereal, otherworldly air about him. However, the old man's demeanor changed completely the moment he looked at someone.
"Wen Qi! How old do you think I am? Coming here on a private jet to see a doctor so late at night, don't you have a heart?!"
Wen Yunyi coughed suddenly. Why was he running into his older brother's line of fire at this time?!
"Old Bai, how much did you pay for this trip?" Wen Qi asked quietly.
The old man quickly coughed, immediately resuming his professional demeanor as a doctor, and asked, "Where is the patient?"
Everyone voluntarily made way for them.
At the same time, I was shocked: the Wen family is indeed incredibly wealthy!
Wen Cheng was carried to the bed by the group, and then the old doctor examined her leg. Dr. Bai was not only the Wen family's private doctor, but also ran his own clinic specializing in treating injuries. Examining Wen Cheng's leg was incredibly easy for him; after a couple of touches, he quickly applied medicine to Wen Cheng's foot.
When the medicine was first applied, Wen Cheng felt a slight warmth in her feet, which then became somewhat painful. She couldn't help but slightly pull her foot away.
When people feel wronged, they always turn to their closest loved ones. Wen Cheng couldn't help but fix her gaze on Wen Qi, who was standing to the side looking indifferent.
The director, who witnessed all of this, said: "Chengcheng, don't even think about wasting your time on President Wen. This man doesn't need love!"
Wen Qi tilted his head as if sensing something, and then met Wen Cheng's gaze. Wen Cheng's eyes were misty, and it was clear that she had been seriously hurt. If it weren't for these outsiders, despite the scolding, Wen Qi would have hugged this silly girl tightly.
"Be gentle, or I'll dock your pay." Wen Qi, the last person to say that, spoke up.
!!
Three exclamation marks appeared above the heads of the onlookers. What had they just heard?
Old Bai grumbled impatiently, "It will hurt a little at first, but this medicine works very well. Your leg was almost healed anyway. You just got chilled from soaking it in cold water for a few days today. This medicine has a heat-compression effect, so I guarantee it will be fully healed by tomorrow morning."
Wen Cheng was quite happy to hear that she would be better by tomorrow morning and that it wouldn't affect the progress of her studies. Of course, a large part of this happiness also came from Brother Qi's concern.
After seeing Lao Bai off, the remaining question was who would take care of Wen Cheng tonight.
Wen Yunyi could tell at a glance that his older brother would definitely be willing to take care of her, so he told everyone to go back and rest first, assuring them that Wen Cheng could take care of herself.
To everyone's surprise, the usually clever director was actually going against his own ideas today. "No way, I think someone should stay here tonight to watch over Chengcheng, since the bed is big enough for one more person to sleep in!"
......
"Then I'll take care of them tonight," Yan Luan, who had been silent until now, stepped forward. Yan Luan and Wen Cheng were good friends, and they had come together, so it seemed reasonable for him to take care of everyone. However, the director was not happy about it.
"Yan Luan, you have a shoot tomorrow, so you can't let it affect your sleep. I think the most suitable person to be here is President Wen!"
Everyone: ? ? ?
Everyone felt that they had underestimated the director. Even Wen Qi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and Wen Yunyi, the "King of Understanding," had a face that was as dark as a rock!
"What are you thinking about?" Wen Yunyi questioned the director with a dark expression.
The director, with an expression of righteousness, said, "I'm thinking about the wonderful connection between President Wen and Chengcheng! I'm thinking about President Wen's warm heart, bravely rescuing his employees despite the torrential rain, and even spending money to find a private doctor to treat them. Aren't these enough reasons for President Wen to take care of Chengcheng?!"
Everyone present fell silent. They never expected you to be this kind of director!
“Since the director has said so,” Wen Qi suddenly spoke up.
"Brother Qi!" Wen Cheng exclaimed anxiously, blurting out her original form of address.
Oh wow!
The crowd's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Mr. Wen looks like my brother, and I couldn't help but say it," Wen Cheng explained, her face pale. Everyone's eyes clearly showed disbelief.
Wen Qi chuckled. "Your brother's name also has the character 'Qi' in it? He's quite a failure. He didn't even know his younger brother almost died. If I hadn't come here today, would our company have lost a dedicated and hardworking employee?"
Wen Qi's double sarcasm made Wen Cheng lower her head completely.
At exactly 10 PM, after seeing off the onlookers, the room returned to peace. Wen Cheng's foot felt noticeably better, and she could walk again. However, as soon as she put her foot down, Wen Qi glanced at her, startling her so much that she quickly withdrew her foot and obediently leaned back on the bed once more.
"Brother Qi, go take a shower first, or you'll catch a cold. Your hair and clothes are all wet," Wen Cheng said, though she was scared, she still mustered up her courage.
