I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

From another world, Cheng Sheng knew that Liu Yan's tumor was benign and would be fine as long as it was surgically removed, but he didn't say it immediately—he knew that no matter how many times he said "it's fine" at this moment, Liu Yan wouldn't believe him. Only when the hospital's official pathology results came out could he truly dispel her concerns and be more convincing.

He didn't explain much, but simply pulled up a chair and sat down by the bedside, speaking in an incredibly gentle tone to patiently comfort her: "Don't overthink it. It's just a preliminary examination, and they haven't determined the nature of the illness yet. How do you know you're going to die? You're so resilient, so hardworking, how could God bear to let anything happen to you?"

This moment was probably Liu Yan's darkest time, a time when she needed comfort and guidance to emerge from the darkness.

In retrospect, Liu Yan's life has been full of ups and downs, and he was almost brought down.

Fortunately, Liu Yan is very resilient and was not defeated; instead, she became stronger and stronger.

Liu Yan debuted as a TV host and later entered the entertainment industry.

She was once labeled as "sexy" because of her appearance, but over the years she has been dedicated to shedding that label and transitioning into an actress.

With her roles in films such as "The Beneficiary," she received a Golden Rooster Award nomination for Best Actress and won the Best Actress Award at the Macau International Film Festival, proving her acting prowess.

Moreover, Liu Yan possesses a virtue that most people lack: filial piety.

Filial piety is a traditional virtue revered by the Chinese nation.

Filial piety holds a special place and plays a vital role in traditional Chinese morality, and has become a fine tradition of Chinese culture.

Filial piety, a traditional virtue deeply engraved in the blood of the Chinese nation since ancient times, is like a clear spring, silently nourishing everyone's heart and becoming an indispensable and solid bond for maintaining family harmony and social stability.

It is not only a code of conduct passed down from generation to generation, but also an emotional resonance deeply rooted in the soul, like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding people to find the purest emotional support in the complex world.

In the entertainment industry, Liu Yan is known for her filial piety. She entered the entertainment industry in her early years by participating in a host competition to raise money for her mother's medical treatment.

Despite the loss of her father and her own health challenges, she demonstrated remarkable resilience, consistently shouldering family responsibilities and caring for her parents and siblings.

In addition, she is kind and insightful in private, has good relationships within the industry, and is helpful and down-to-earth.

It's a pity that such a good person had a very difficult time in the entertainment industry in his early years.

Fortunately, Liu Yan met him in this world, and Cheng Sheng would not let her repeat the life of another world.

Seeing that Liu Yan was still crying, Cheng Sheng deliberately softened his tone and clumsily tried to cheer her up: "Think about it, you haven't seen the award ceremony you hosted attract thousands of viewers, you haven't seen yourself become a big star, you haven't seen the TV series you starred in air, you haven't seen your brother's wedding house in Guangzhou, etc., how can you give up so easily? Besides, you're so beautiful, if something really happened to you, how many bright stars would the entertainment industry lose?"

As he spoke, he ladled some warm millet porridge from the thermos and handed it to her: "Have some porridge first to replenish your strength so you can have the energy to wait for the results. No matter what, I'll be here for you. I won't let you bear this alone."

Looking at Cheng Sheng's earnest and gentle demeanor, and listening to his clumsy yet heartwarming words of comfort, Liu Yan's sobs gradually subsided.

She always thought Cheng Sheng was a scumbag. He had a girlfriend, Zeng Li, and was surrounded by various women, including Li Xiaoran, Zhang Meng, Da Tiantian, and Chen Hong, who was married.

He's never been truly sincere with anyone, but at this moment, the tenderness in his eyes was genuine, the porridge he offered was warm, and his willingness to stay was real.

In her most fearful and helpless moments, he was by her side, offering no perfunctory treatment or indifference, carefully protecting her vulnerability. She took the bowl of porridge, her fingertips touching the warm surface, and a warmth welled up in her heart. A change in her opinion of Cheng Sheng quietly began to take root at that moment.

Perhaps this scumbag isn't entirely without merit; at least, he genuinely cares about me.

The initial resistance and prejudice against him were gradually replaced by a subtle sense of goodwill, which quietly sprouted in my heart.

Cheng Sheng watched her slowly drink the porridge, a gentle smile appearing in his eyes. He said softly, "Drink slowly, there's more if you're not full. Don't think too much. Once the results come out, everything will be alright."

Liu Yan sipped the porridge, the panic in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a rare sense of calm.

Cheng Sheng sat beside her for a long time, without mentioning her illness again. He only chatted with her about lighthearted and interesting things—talking about the embarrassing situation of actors making mistakes in their scenes, about the strange seabirds they encountered while filming at sea, and even clumsily imitating the funny dialect of the crew, which made Liu Yan's eyes still have tears on them, but she couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that Liu Yan was in much better spirits and was gradually getting sleepy, Cheng Sheng slowly got up, reached out and tucked the blanket around her, his tone still gentle: "Get a good night's sleep, focus on getting better, don't think about anything. The doctor said that resting well is good for your recovery."

Liu Yan looked up at him, a hint of barely perceptible dependence in her eyes, and softly hummed in agreement: "Will you... come again?"

As soon as she said it, she felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly.

Cheng Sheng looked at her reddened ear tips, his smile deepening, and nodded gently: "Don't worry, I'll come and keep you company as soon as I finish dealing with some urgent matters. If there's not enough porridge, or if there's anything you want to eat or cook, just give me a call anytime, and I'll be there whenever you need me."

He gave the nurses a few more instructions, telling them to keep a close eye on Liu Yan's condition. Then he picked up the thermos, gently closed the ward door, and walked very quietly, afraid of disturbing Liu Yan, who was just starting to feel sleepy.

As Cheng Sheng stepped out of the ward, the gentleness on his face faded slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes—once the pathology results came out, he would tell her the truth as soon as possible so that she could be completely at ease.

Cheng Sheng walked out of the hospital, returned to his car, placed the thermos on the passenger seat, and then took out his phone to call Xu Fan.

Cheng Sheng had saved Xu Fan's phone number long ago, but had never contacted him.

He can't stay in the country for long; he needs to resolve things so he can return to the film crew as soon as possible to continue filming.

The call was connected very quickly.

Cheng Sheng gave him an address and arranged to meet him in a private room at a secluded private club.

On the other hand, Xu Fan was secretly pleased when he received the invitation, thinking that Cheng Sheng had been given a handle by him and would eventually compromise and write a script for Lao Feng according to his wishes.

She was filled with a sense of luck and gladly went to the appointment, completely unaware of the difference in Cheng Sheng's tone.

A secluded private club in the suburbs of Kyoto.

This place is generally only for members; ordinary people can't get in at all. Therefore, many big shots and celebrities come here when they have important business. (End of Chapter)
