Chapter 28 Do you like Huo Heng that much?

The night scene on the second day was filmed very late, even later than Shen Zhiyi expected.

"It's cut again, Huo Heng is still being scolded."

Xiao Dong unpacked the midnight snack he had just bought and muttered, "I see everyone is in a bad mood. We could have finished work an hour ago."

As a result, due to Huo Heng's poor performance, the filming was delayed until now. Xu Xia used to speak for him, but now she is silent and lets him be scolded by the director.

Feeling a little sleepy, Shen Zhiyi yawned, his eyes slightly reddened, "Let's wait and see, have you eaten?"

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "Eat it. Hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach."

It was already late at night, and the only restaurants nearby were selling barbecue, which was too greasy. Shen Zhiyi had no appetite, so he ate a few bites and put it down. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to the housekeeper, asking her if Pei Yu had slept.

It's not that she was being self-indulgent and thought that Pei Yu would definitely wait for her. After all, she had already said that she would not return to Huating tonight. She just suddenly wanted to ask.

The housekeeper replied quickly and said that Pei Yu did not return to Huating today.

Maybe you are busy?

Shen Zhiyi didn't think about it anymore. After Huo Heng was scolded a few times, he finally got his solo part. When she went over, the director still had an ugly look on his face, and he reluctantly softened his tone to her.

"We'll call it a day after we finish this one."

After filming this scene, Shen Zhiyi's role in the drama was also completed.

It had been a few days since the two had their own scenes together. Huo Heng looked at him with complicated eyes. He had not been doing well these days. The fact that his fans turned against him was a small matter. The main problem was that he had lost several luxury endorsements for unknown reasons. Although he told the public that the contract had expired, he knew that he must have been tricked by someone. When he attended an event, he was even directly bullied by a male actor he had had a grudge against before, which made him lose face.

And all of this is because of Shen Zhiyi.

Huo Heng never thought that Shen Zhiyi would treat him like this.

"Huo Heng, why are you standing there? Say your lines!"

The director's irritable voice came over, his patience was about to run out. Perhaps it was because the emotions in this play were intense, and it was the part where the male lead expressed hatred, Huo Heng didn't get stuck as badly as before, and it passed in two takes, and the crew was finally able to finish work.

But when Huo Heng walked over to the director, he heard the director say to the screenwriter, "Luckily, Xiao Shen is here to guide us. Otherwise, Huo Heng's emotions wouldn't be so smooth, and it would be really hard to direct him."

He clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes gloomy.

Shen Zhiyi, it’s Shen Zhiyi again. Why do everyone suddenly like Shen Zhiyi so much?
After the crew finished work, Shen Zhiyi was sent back to her temporary residential area by her assistant. The house was newly rented and she had only lived there for a few times. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard footsteps behind her.

It turned out to be Huo Heng.

She frowned, "Why are you here?"

Huo Heng: "I have something to ask you."

He took a puff of cigarette, looking depressed, "Do you hate me so much that you want someone to bully me?"

nonsense.

Shen Zhiyi had a cold expression on her face and was about to open the door and go in without paying any attention to him. The combination lock beeped twice, and a feminine female voice sounded in the corridor.

"Huo Heng, don't talk to this bitch. I will help you teach her a lesson."

There were voice-activated lights in the corridor. When the voice was heard, the lights in the row behind lit up. Huo Heng looked at the woman who suddenly ran over and hugged his arm with a look of horror, and subconsciously shook her off. "Who are you?" He immediately reacted and was extremely disgusted. "Illegitimate child? You are the one who has been following me these days?"

The woman stumbled a few steps after being thrown by him. Seeing his undisguised disgust, she twitched nervously, "How could you do this to me?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Zhiyi secretly sent a message to Xiaodong and asked her to call the police. She then tried to unlock the door and enter the house, but the fingerprint unlocking was always unsuccessful. When she tried to enter the password, the woman had already gone crazy and collapsed.

She growled and pounced towards Huo Heng. A flash of cold light flashed across the palm of her hand, but Huo Heng didn't notice it at all. He tried to push her away again with disgust on his face.

"Huo Heng get out of the way!"

Seeing the cold tip of the knife, Shen Zhiyi's fingers twitched uncontrollably. The bone-chilling fear of her youth surged over her body again like a tide. With her mind blank, she instinctively rushed towards Huo Heng.

Before Huo Heng realized the danger, Shen Zhiyi had already pushed him back a few steps. He turned around in panic, but what he saw was the bloodstains gradually seeping out of Shen Zhiyi's shoulder.

"Zhi Yi--" His hands were shaking and he couldn't move a step. He watched the crazy woman with a knife walk towards Shen Zhiyi with resentment on her face.

"It's you again, you bitch. Why did you seduce Huo Heng? Why did you want to harm Huo Heng?"

It was completely useless to communicate with a crazy woman. Shen Zhiyi gritted his teeth and slowly moved back, "Huo Heng——"

Why are you still standing there!

"Don't call him by his name, you don't deserve it!"

The woman rushed over as if enraged. In Shen Zhiyi's sight, she suddenly stopped her huge movements and was pulled to the side by a huge force!
Her vision was a little blurry until someone gently touched her face.

It’s Pei Yu.

Why is Pei Yu here?
Under the cold ceiling light, Pei Yu's face was gloomy. His fingertips touched her cheek lightly and then dropped. Shen Zhiyi couldn't see his expression, she only felt that she was being hugged.

She was carried forward, each step was firm and powerful. In a trance, she seemed to be back to the summer when she was thirteen years old, when her drunken father waved a knife at her and she was rescued from home by Huo Heng in this way.

When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital.

Secretary Qin stayed by the bed and left only when she woke up. Not long after, Pei Yu came in. He was still dressed as usual, except that he had taken off his coat and his shirt was obviously wrinkled. There was no expression on his cold, pale face and his pupils were dark.

He watched the doctor examine Shen Zhiyi without saying a word, and watched the people in the ward walk out one by one. His expression was so indifferent that it made people feel chilled. Even Secretary Qin didn't dare to say much.

Shen Zhiyi felt inexplicably uneasy, "Mr. Pei?"

She was injured on her shoulder, but it was not serious. The reason she was in a coma for so long was mainly because she was too frightened and trapped by the nightmare from the past. Now that she has recovered, she is in good spirits.

But Pei Yu's expression looked more like that of a seriously injured person.

Pei Yu stood there for a few seconds, and when she spoke again, he came over and stood beside the bed, looking down at her with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to cut open her heart to see who was inside.

He smelled heavily of cigarettes. He finally spoke, his voice was hoarse and deep, as if it had been burned by cigarettes. "Do you like him that much?"

I like him so much that I can even block a knife for him.

Wasn't she afraid of knives, pain, and injuries? Was it because the target was Huo Heng that she would rather endure the pain than let him get hurt?
She would never know that the moment he saw her risking her life to block the knife for Huo Heng, Pei Yu's heart was also pierced by an invisible knife, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.
