Chapter 392: Chapter 386 Film Festival

Shen Dang—

When that name burst into her mind, Qiao Xi’s fingers twitched slightly again.

Shen Dang truly felt it this time.

"Xixi?"

Joy swirled in Shen Dang’s eyes.

Qiao Xi’s eyelashes fluttered a few times, and her eyelids slowly opened, revealing a pair of tea-colored pupils.

Shen Dang met her slightly bewildered gaze, his voice suddenly choked, "Xixi, you’re finally awake!"

A flash of light passed through his eyes in an instant, like the faint twinkling of stars in a dim night sky.

The moment Qiao Xi opened her eyes, she saw a remarkably handsome face.

Despite his disheveled appearance, his prideful temperament could not be concealed.

Shen Dang.

Qiao Xi opened her mouth, wanting to call his name, but her throat could not make any sound.

"Don’t worry." Shen Dang’s voice was soothing yet husky as he comforted her, "I’ll call the doctor to come and take a look!"

Shen Dang pressed the call button by the bed.

The doctor arranged by Shen Dang was still at this hospital.

Hearing the call, the doctor hurried over and seeing that Qiao Xi was awake, swiftly performed a comprehensive physical examination on her.

Shen Dang watched the entire time, and after the examination was concluded, he asked, "How is Xixi now?"

His eyes conveyed his anxiety.

The doctor took off his stethoscope, "Miss Qiao waking up means her body is recovering well. Just make sure to rest and take care going forward."

Shen Dang let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"No trouble, it’s what I should do."

The doctor left after completing his work.

With Qiao Xi awake, the medical staff also let out a sigh of relief, otherwise, they would need to be extra cautious.

Shen Dang stayed by Qiao Xi’s hospital bed, his gaze fixed earnestly on her face.

Her complexion was as pale as paper, devoid of any trace of color, even her naturally rosy lips were now a pale gray.

Shen Dang’s hands enveloped hers.

"Xixi, you really scared me to death."

His voice was a bit hoarse, yet uncharacteristically tender, "Don’t be so foolish as to stand in front of me in the future, I don’t need your protection."

At that moment, she couldn’t care about much else, nor had she considered the danger; her heart simply acted on its instinct.

She wasn’t being foolish.

It felt good to be able to do something for him.

Fortunately, wasn’t she awake now?

Qiao Xi saw the redness in his eyes, he looked somewhat haggard, completely lacking his usual image.

He must have been really worried about her.

Qiao Xi tried to smile at him, but all she could manage was a slight tug at the corner of her mouth.

She tried to voice her thoughts, each word coming out slowly, "Don’t worry, I’m all right."

Even now she was comforting him; she really was a fool.

Shen Dang’s eyes were filled with tenderness and concern, "Xixi, does anywhere still hurt?"

Qiao Xi barely had the strength to speak.

She closed her eyes briefly and shook her head slightly.

Shen Dang’s fingers gently stroked her cheek, "I’ll stay here with you, don’t be afraid."

"Mhm~"

Not long after waking up, Qiao Xi fell asleep again.

She was still very weak.

Shen Dang kept holding her hand tightly.

It was only during her sleep that he informed his friends that Qiao Xi had woken up, to prevent them from worrying.

...

Due to people moving behind the scenes, the execution of Chu Xiuyun was swiftly carried out.

The shooting incident had a wide impact; although some may know that there was a shooting in Hai City, they wouldn’t know the victim was Qiao Xi.

The news was kept under wraps.

The night that Qiao Xi woke up, Xie Baola and Chen Jiayan came to visit her in the hospital, one after the other.

Since Qiao Xi needed to rest, they didn’t stay long. After instructing her to rest well, they left.

After they both left, Qiao Xi curiously asked Shen Dang, "Have Brother Jiayuan and Baola gotten together?"

"It doesn’t look like it."

"I see."

Seeing her injured yet concerned about others, Shen Dang chuckled and replied gently, "It’s probably a coincidence that they met. They had been by your side all day and night. Now that you’re awake, it’s normal for them to come together."

After Chen Jiayan and Xie Baola left, Shen Dang refused other visitors.

A few days later, seeing Qiao Xi’s good progress, the doctor agreed to transfer her. Shen Dang moved her to a hospital under the Shen Group.

Then he allowed others to come visit Qiao Xi.

Su Tutu and the others had been eager to visit, but Shen Dang always stopped them.

Once he gave the go-ahead, they hurried to the hospital, with Qu Keke excitedly following her brother.

Ran Jing also paid a visit.

Seeing Qiao Xi’s improvement, she dared to tell Old Master Shen about the incident.

Old Master Shen wanted to visit Qiao Xi in the hospital.

Shen Dang told him there was no need to make the long trip.

In the end, Old Master Shen made a video call to her.

Qiao Xi stayed in the hospital for half a month before being discharged.

Fortunately, she hadn’t injured her bones, and with some more rest, she would fully recover.

However, due to her injury, all the work that had been arranged well in advance had to be put on hold.

Wang Li canceled all her engagements.

Qiao Xi took the opportunity to get a good rest during this time.

Her days in the hospital were quite leisurely.

With nothing to do, Qiao Xi either read books or watched variety shows.

Xie Baola and Su Tutu occasionally came to chat with her.

Shen Dang took the opportunity to handle work.

During Qiao Xi’s hospital stay, Shen Dang never left, staying with her in the ward.

Ran Jing had the servants prepare nutritious meals for Qiao Xi every day, three meals without fail.

When she was discharged, Qiao Xi felt like she had gained weight, while Boss Shen, who had been taking care of her, seemed to have lost some.

Qiao Xi’s current physical condition still didn’t allow her to work.

Since the charity dinner, her fans had been calling for Qiao Xi to participate more in events. Instead, it seemed as if she had vanished.

Qiao Xi’s Weibo account had been inactive for half a month and was about to grow weeds.

It was only with the approaching film festival that her Weibo saw some activity.

She announced that on December 25th, Christmas night, she would attend the Wan Hua International Film Festival.

The Qiao Xi who had been absent for over a month was about to return to the spotlight.

The fans were beyond excited!

Previously, there had been news online about the "Detective in the Republic" cast attending the film festival. Except for the injured Qiao Xi, the other three main actors had been attending various events together in the past month. Whether "Detective in the Republic" would shine at this film festival was a matter of interest for both fans and people in the film industry.

As for whether they would win an award, Mo Qing and the main actors were still in the dark, only aware that the film had been nominated.

The nominations included Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

Being nominated meant that their movie had made an impact at the festival and had been recognized by the committee members.

Competition is fierce in any circle, and Mo Qing, knowing some insider information, had calmed down.

...

On the day of the film festival at four in the afternoon.

Qiao Xi was fully ready with her makeup and style.

She wore a haute couture gown, the color not too bright, the design understated, but it subtly exuded a sense of luxury and elegance.

"Nervous?"
