1794 The Old Liang Family Residence, Brush with Death
It was almost four in the morning by the time they carried Zhou Chengfei back to his room. Everyone else was asleep. Director Huang didn’t forget Du Zhong, and immediately had Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen see if Du Zhong was in his room first.

Director Huang planned to accompany Zhou Chengfei to his room to take a look at his leg injury.

Director Huang’s attention was all on Zhou Chengfei’s injuries, and he completely forgot that there was someone else next to him, Film Empress Song’s ‘assistant.’

After ensuring that medicine had been applied on the other party’s injuries, Director Huang was about to leave, when he realized that this ‘assistant’ was still in the room and hadn’t returned to her own room to rest.

Director Huang’s first thought was: Could it be that Film Empress Song’s assistant was a fan of Zhou Chengfei? Otherwise, why would this young lady care about Chengfei’s injuries?

!!
Moreover, Director Huang was really worried that this inexperienced young lady in front of him would be easily bewitched by Zhou Chengfei’s looks. It wouldn’t be good if something happened during the filming of the variety show. Unfortunately, she was Film Empress Song’s assistant; as a small director, he couldn’t say much to offend her.

In the end, Director Huang still couldn’t bear it. Afraid that the young lady would make a bad decision, he immediately found an excuse to send her away to rest. “Chengfei is fine. Young lady, why don’t you go and rest first? Otherwise, you won’t have any energy in the morning.”

How could Chi Shuyan not see the worry and thoughts in Director Huang’s heart? Her attention wasn’t on him, but on Zhou Chengfei, who was half-sitting on the bed with a stiff and abnormal expression. Director Huang’s heart thumped when he saw that the little girl’s gaze didn’t move.

It was over! It was over!

Was this young lady really interested in Chengfei?

No, he had to talk to Chengfei later. Film Empress Song’s assistant couldn’t be touched so easily.

At that moment, Zhou Chengfei suddenly chimed in, “Director Huang is right. Miss Chi, you should hurry back to your room and rest. Thank you so much for your help tonight. After filming the variety show, I’ll definitely treat you and Director Huang to a meal if there’s a chance.”

“Okay!” Chi Shuyan replied.

Zhou Chengfei originally planned to use a few more reasons to persuade her, but when she suddenly agreed, a very unnatural smile immediately appeared on his stiff face. The muscles on his face twitched violently; he looked a little excited, and his expression really didn’t look human.

Chi Shuyan restrained herself and turned around to leave without a change in expression.

Director Huang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the young lady leave. Needless to say, he had a good impression of her because of the rescue.

Director Huang’s attention was all on the door, and he didn’t notice the change in Zhou Chengfei’s expression behind him. Countless compound eyes suddenly appeared in Zhou Chengfei’s pupils, and they stared greedily and creepily at Director Huang’s back.

His forehead and cheeks suddenly bulged with several squirming little bumps. Something squirmed and rustled under his skin. From his forehead to his cheeks, then down to his throat, the shape of the thing could vaguely be seen as it pulled the skin taut, which made Zhou Chengfei’s handsome face look especially hideous and terrifying.

Not only that, the thing squirming under Zhou Chengfei’s skin also tried to burrow out, pressing up under Zhou Chengfei’s face until it was especially deformed and bulging.

Not long after, blood exploded on Zhou Chengfei’s cheek as small slits appeared on his skin. Countless dense tentacles squeezed out of the skin on his face, and a pair of terrifying compound eyes that stared fixedly and greedily at the person in front of him was revealed.

“What’s that sound?” Director Huang had good hearing; he looked around, but couldn’t find the source of the sound. He was about to turn his head and ask Zhou Chengfei.

At the sound of the door, the thing squirming under Zhou Chengfei’s skin immediately pulled back. In an instant, Zhou Chengfei’s face bulged with countless small bumps and was hideously deformed at that moment. Before the door opened, he immediately turned his head and burrowed under the blanket.

Director Huang looked at the door and saw that the young lady had returned. Chi Shuyan knocked on the door and said, “Director Huang, Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen are calling you to Du Zhong’s room.”
“What?” Director Huang was a little anxious when he heard this. Was Du Zhong in his room or not? Director Huang immediately asked her, “Is Du Zhong in his room?”

“I’m not sure. Why don’t you go over and take a look?” Chi Shuyan replied. As she spoke, she stared at Zhou Chengfei, whose face was under the blanket, and her eyes darkened.

Director Huang was worried about Du Zhong, and couldn’t care less about Zhou Chengfei at that moment. He turned his head to say goodbye to Zhou Chengfei, and saw that he had suddenly buried himself under his blanket.

Director Huang thought that Zhou Chengfei had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

He fell asleep so quickly?

Director Huang could only help Zhou Chengfei take off his shoes, then followed Film Empress Song’s assistant out of Zhou Chengfei’s door. Chi Shuyan’s eyes were fixed on the man on the bed. Just as the door was about to close, her gaze shifted to a small pool of red on the bed sheets, and she frowned thoughtfully.

It was only when Director Huang reminded her that Chi Shuyan closed the door.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know that her actions made Director Huang frown even more. Afraid that the young lady would do something foolish, he hurriedly advised, “Assistant Chi, I know that you admire these big celebrities the most at your age. Uncle Huang will give you a few words of advice: These big celebrities are completely different from ordinary people like us. It’s fine for us to just take a few more looks from afar. Moreover, most people in this circle are used to putting on an act; it would be really stupid for ordinary people like us to believe it. We’re all adults, so we should know what we can and can’t do. You’re Film Empress Song’s assistant, and you have a bright future ahead of you!”

Chi Shuyan, who had a bright future: …
