Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

It's not just a dying person; many marketing accounts are already spreading rumors that Gu Zhiyan is dead.

These media outlets have absolutely no bottom line when it comes to grabbing attention.

Looking at the trending topics, Gu Zhiyan felt a headache coming on. She quickly checked her phone and found a bunch of missed calls and text messages.

This is outrageous!

"These media outlets are a bunch of bastards!" Gu Zhiyan said angrily.

Song Yi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother, who told you to become famous!"

"Sigh, fame brings trouble."

"Stop lamenting. So many people want to be famous but can't. Oh dear, the water's gone. I'll call the nurse to remove the needle."

After the nurse removed the IV and left, Gu Zhiyan said, "Ruo Ruo, come up here. It's uncomfortable to sleep lying there."

"Um."

Song Yi didn't refuse, after all that had just happened.

It feels so good to hold a soft, fragrant girl in your arms.

Let's talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow.

Nothing happened that night. Gu Zhiyan woke up at around 5 a.m. the next day, since she had slept for a long time the night before.

The early morning is the time of day when life is at its most vibrant.

"Huh? Brother, don't move, you're not fully recovered yet."

"My body is perfectly fine to begin with," Gu Zhiyan said, continuing her work.

"Ah!" Song Yi gasped.

We have to recite Chinese pinyin first thing in the morning.

The problem is that I don't dare to be too loud. What if I disturb others early in the morning?

……

"Brother Yan, why did you get out of bed?"

Xiuxiu rushed to the hospital early in the morning, wanting to report many things to Gu Zhiyan, especially today's "visitor list".

Of course, this list is definitely not complete; there will be more people who actually come than on the list.

"Wow, so many people are coming, and so many big names."

Before Gu Zhiyan could even speak after Xiuxiu finished speaking, Song Yi exclaimed in amazement.

"There are definitely more than that; some people will come without saying hello." Xiuxiu glanced at Song Yi and nodded.

As soon as she entered, she noticed that Song Yi's face was rosy and her complexion was very healthy, not at all like someone who had stayed up all night taking care of someone.

Without even thinking, she knew what had happened.

Just as she expected!

"Come on then, that's all we can do for now. Let's talk to the hospital and get security measures in place, just in case anything goes wrong."

At this point, Gu Zhiyan didn't have any good ideas. At most, she could only try to persuade the older and younger women who hadn't yet set off not to come over.

Xiuxiu nodded: "I'll go see the dean later."

Gu Zhiyan took out his phone and handed it to Xiuxiu: "Here, help me record a video."

"Why are you filming a video?" Xiuxiu asked curiously.

"Send the photos to them after you take them, otherwise they definitely won't believe it and will have to come over."

Song Yi didn't know who the "them" Gu Zhiyan was talking about were, but Xiuxiu knew perfectly well.

"Brother Yan, are you really alright?"

Seeing Gu Zhiyan perform several difficult martial arts moves, Xiuxiu couldn't help but speak up.

Song Yi wasn't surprised at all; she had just witnessed it not long ago—it was incredible!

This caused her to constantly worry about Gu Zhiyan's health.

"I told you all that I'm perfectly fine, but none of you believed me. I'll get through today and be discharged tomorrow."

Hearing Gu Zhiyan say this, Xiuxiu said, "Brother Xiaoyan, I'm afraid you'll have to stay in the hospital for a few more days."

"What's wrong?"

"With such a big commotion outside, it's not good for you to be discharged so early. Besides, my next marketing plan is all ready..."

Xiuxiu is ready to portray herself as a "dedicated" person.

Besides, she didn't make it up out of thin air. Xiao Yan is indeed dedicated; he drank four catties of baijiu (Chinese liquor) to prepare for the filming.

As for Xiao Yan being completely unharmed, that's because of his exceptional talent.

Why don't you try someone else?

It's likely true, as the rumors suggest, that even if they don't die, they'll be badly injured.

They're already in critical condition and in the hospital; it would be a huge loss not to do something about it properly.

After hearing what Xiuxiu said, Gu Zhiyan was speechless.

Okay, Xiuxiu has a point. Let's stay a few more days then.

"When there are outsiders around, Xiao Yan, don't get out of bed. Act weak," Xiu Xiu instructed again.

"I'll do whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say." Gu Zhiyan let Xiuxiu do as she pleased.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Zhiyan quickly lay down on the hospital bed.

"Please come in."

As the ward door opened, Lin Gengxin's loud voice rang out.

"Brother Yan, why is your life so miserable? You can just die like that..."

"Shut up, I'm not dead yet, are you mourning?"

Gu Zhiyan's forehead throbbed; he was fine initially, but Lin Gengxin's wailing was about to make things worse.

Lin Gengxin looked at Gu Zhiyan, who was lying on the hospital bed, with disbelief: "You're alright? Weren't they saying you were critically ill?"

"Use your brain! If I were really in that condition, would I still be in a regular ward?"

"Yeah, I'm so glad you're okay. I drove over here overnight as soon as I saw the news. Those media outlets are such bastards, writing all this nonsense."

Hearing Lin Gengxin say this, Gu Zhiyan was also a little moved and decided not to scold him anymore; this guy was someone she could get along with.

"Don't you know what kind of people the media really are?"

Xiuxiu and Song Yi chuckled as they listened to Gu Zhiyan and Lin Gengxin's conversation.

Lin Gengxin nodded in deep agreement: "That's true, these media outlets are becoming increasingly unprofessional. By the way, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine, I just need a few days of rest."

"You can hold your liquor much better than me. How much did you drink that ended up in the hospital?" Lin Gengxin asked with a curious look.

As a Northeasterner, Lin Gengxin already had a pretty good alcohol tolerance, but having drunk with Gu Zhiyan before, he knew all too well how impressive Gu Zhiyan's alcohol tolerance was.

"I drank about four catties (2.5 catties) of it."

"Holy crap, you're amazing. If it were me, I probably would have really died."

Lin Gengxin was truly shocked; that was four catties of baijiu!

If Lin Gengxin hadn't seen Gu Zhiyan sitting properly in front of him, his reaction upon hearing the amount would probably have been similar to that of the media. He now understands those media outlets a little better.

If Lin Gengxin knew that Gu Zhiyan hadn't eaten anything but had drunk so much in one go, she would probably jump up in shock right now.

After chatting for a while, the older and younger women arrived at the hospital one after another.

The first person to arrive was Sister Meng.

Sister Meng's eyes were red, she looked like she had been crying.

"Waaah... Brother Yan, I'm so glad you're alright, you scared me to death."

Sister Meng didn't care that there were other people in the room; she collapsed onto the hospital bed and started crying.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, I'm fine."

At this moment, Gu Zhiyan felt deeply guilty.

Lin Gengxin felt a bit superfluous and quickly got up to say goodbye: "Well, since you don't have anything else to do, I'll be going now. Let's get together again sometime."

"Okay," Gu Zhiyan nodded, and asked Xiuxiu to see Lin Gengxin off.

The friendship between men is sometimes that simple; there's no need to say much.
