Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 25 I originally hated rainy skies

"Thank you, Yu Wei, otherwise I wouldn't know where to look for her..."

While wiping his neck with a towel, Fei Hong expressed his gratitude to Yu Wei beside him. Zhou Mumu usually went out alone, and they really didn't know where she would go.

"Small things."

Yu Wei glanced at Fei Hong, who always had a smile on his lips. Ever since the two of them came back leaning on each other, his gossipy heart had been instantly ignited.

I've never seen a celebrity date before, I really need to document this for future reference.

"What are you two doing in the rain? Your eyes softened the moment you mentioned Mumu..."

"Stop talking nonsense, we haven't done anything."

He was speaking in dialect in his haste, yet nothing seemed amiss. Yu Wei noticed his slightly red ears at a glance, but didn't say anything.

This guy is very good at dealing with people, but he seems a bit stiff when it comes to relationships. I wonder if things will work out in the end.

Just as Yu Wei was making fun of Fei Hong, a staff member suddenly came over and told them that Zhou Mumu had a high fever and might not be able to participate in the rest of the show's recording.

This is what it's like to be romantic in the rain...

"is it serious?"

Fei Hong, who was still a little shy a second ago, suddenly felt a jolt and rushed out without saying a word. Yu Wei followed closely behind, feeling somewhat complicated.

A fever or a cold may not sound that serious, but during the recording of a program, it can be a big deal or a small deal. To put it bluntly, if something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?

In fact, in many variety shows, it's actually arranged by the production team for young male celebrities to be rushed to the hospital after getting hurt, but in the end, the celebrities are criticized for being dramatic...

It's not that he's washing the young idol's clothes; during the recording of the show, if any accident occurs to the celebrity, the production team should arrange for them to receive medical treatment as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.

What if the celebrity has other illnesses and isn't taken to the hospital? What if the celebrity's management company is unhappy about it?
Of course, it's a bit dramatic for some young celebrities to be sent to the hospital for minor scrapes, but besides the celebrities themselves, the production team that treated them like treasures should also be criticized.

Zhou Mumu's condition was much more serious; she had a persistent high fever and was unconscious, lying in bed constantly sweating profusely.

The cabin did have a first-aid kit, but the medicine hasn't been effective yet...

"It's so hot, maybe we should take you to the hospital."

Tong Yulu paced back and forth anxiously, wishing she could just carry Mumu on her back and run outside. At this moment, she had already put away all her little schemes and only showed her true feelings for her friend.

Yu Wei, who has only been here for a week, has such a good impression of the show. They have been filming here for more than a month. It would be a lie to say that they have no feelings for it.

Despite their strained relationship, she would definitely worry if Chi Leying got sick...

"We still need to ask Mumu what she thinks."

Chi Leying removed the towel from Zhou Mumu's forehead, wet it with warm water, wrung it out, and put it back. "If she doesn't want to film anymore, of course she can leave."

"Mumu doesn't like this show... I think everyone knows that, right?"

Tong Yulu's words really ignited the discussion. Actually, everyone could see what was going on, but no one had brought it up.

After a long silence in the room, Fei Hongxian, still anxious, broke the deadlock and prepared to have the production team arrange for him to be taken to the hospital immediately.

Despite the fact that these guests may have their own little schemes, when it comes to a real problem, they are all basically of one mind.

Tong Yulu and Fei Hong both advocated seeking immediate medical attention, but Chi Leying and Yu Wei felt that they should listen to the patient's own opinion.

They're not children anymore; adults make their own decisions and take responsibility for them. In the end, they're just "neighbors" who share a rental.

Perhaps Yu Wei is a bit cunning; he's considering things more deeply. If he's sent to the hospital, he'll have to miss the show's recording. Who will compensate the production team for their losses? Would the management company be happy about that?
He could think of this, and so could everyone else. The production team hasn't made a statement because they want to wait for the parties involved to give their opinions.

This is supposed to be a non-stick pan...

"I... I want to continue recording the show."

Zhou Mumu slowly woke up and immediately relieved everyone's immediate crisis. Although she hadn't been fully conscious, she had vaguely heard what everyone was saying.

Everyone was clearly surprised by her statement. Since she didn't like the show anyway, why didn't she take the opportunity to rest for a while?

And given her condition...

"I want to hold on a little longer." Zhou Mumu curled up in the quilt, the thick cotton covering her body, like a fish trapped in an oven, each breath carrying scorching heat, laborious and heavy.

She recalled Yu Wei's words that afternoon. After hearing how she had been coaxed and tricked by the company into appearing on the show, Yu Wei's answer was simple:
They come, the security.

He didn't comfort her about her experience, nor did he say anything sarcastic like "then fight back." He simply told her to cherish every day she spent there.

In the adult world, how can you say no so easily? Everyone has their own difficulties, and there aren't that many assumptions or predictable scenarios.

"I don't really like this show, but I like being with everyone..."

The only sounds in the air were her intermittent panting and the faint creaking of her chapped lips.

In fact, Yu Wei could completely understand this feeling. Celebrities don't have much normal interpersonal interaction to begin with, and it's rare to be away from the entertainment industry's corrupting influence here, so the "roommate" relationship is more genuine.

The group felt a warmth in their hearts, but they couldn't offer any words of advice. They could only look at each other, wanting to hear what the others thought.

"Okay, if Mumu hasn't improved by nine o'clock, we'll take her to the doctor immediately. Let her lie down quietly for a while first."

The others were too concerned to think clearly, but Yu Weichu, being new to the area, wasn't as emotionally invested, and at this moment, he was the only one who remained relatively rational.

This suggestion was very reasonable, respecting the patient's opinion while also providing an insurance plan, and it quickly gained unanimous approval.

Yu Wei was just going with the flow; this was an easy way to think of, but since the other regular guests didn't know how to bring it up, he was the only one who could do it.

The production team agreed, but just to be on the safe side, someone needed to stay and look after them...

Everyone was quick-witted and discerning. Seeing Fei Hong sitting there looking uneasy, they tacitly decided to let him stay.

"Don't worry too much, I'll perform a talent to warm things up."

"Talent?"

Everyone then realized that Yu Wei still had to pay rent. As an artist, how could he earn money to pay rent if he didn't produce some finished works?

They almost forgot the program schedule after this incident.

So, Yu Wei was serious? He actually wrote a song in just a few days?

The production team must have been the happiest to hear this. They really wanted to feature Yu Wei's song on the show, but it had been inconvenient to ask about the progress.

I've been waiting for this song for ages!

Yu Wei isn't stupid. If she doesn't do any work on the show, she'll be criticized after it airs. An artist's job is to create art. Once the performance is over, everything will be fine.

If it weren't for this rain, it would be his farewell bonfire party right now...

Fei Hong glanced at Yu Wei with a hint of apology; it seemed he wouldn't be able to attend this farewell.

Yu Wei nodded to him, not taking it to heart. Whether he was present or not was just a formality; the thought was what mattered.

Fei Hong watched everyone leave before sitting down beside Zhou Mumu's bed with a worried expression.

She looked like a piece of burnt charcoal, her sweat-soaked hair sticking to her neck, as cold as a few strands of seaweed.

……

The sound of rain was sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, sometimes intense and then suddenly booming, before quickly turning into a soft whisper.

The group sat around the sofa in the living room, quietly watching Yu Wei awkwardly tune the guitar.

They had been waiting for this moment for a long time, but now that it was here, they didn't seem as excited as they had imagined.

They still look forward to Yu Wei's song and still want the opportunity to collaborate with him, but at this moment, they still hope that Mu Mu can get better.

The group sat inside, the sound of rain outside seeping straight into their ears, as if it would fill the room completely.

Yu Wei glanced at the location of Zhou Mumu's room and, while trying to liven up the atmosphere, introduced, "This song is very fitting; it's called 'Hearing the Sound of Rain'."

They should be able to hear me...
