Huo Wu loosened her mouth and said with a cry, “Big Brother, what did he hit you with? How could he have hit you so hard?”

Huo Yusen was resting his head on the pillow. Hearing her question, he fell silent for a couple of seconds before answering, “Leather belt. The injury looks terrible, but it doesn’t hurt much.”

How could it not be painful? This statement could only fool children.

His injuries were extremely painful to look at.

Huo Wu tried to calm herself down. According to Huo Yusen’s command, she took a cotton swab, placed various potions from the first-aid kit onto the table next to them, applied them bit by bit, and then carefully bandaged him. After the treatment, Huo Wu fed Huo Yusen several anti-inflammatory drugs.

After doing all this, Huo Wu was still uneasy and a little worried.

“Big Brother, don’t you need to go to the hospital?”

“No, you already did very well.” Huo Yusen smiled towards Huo Wu.

Huo Wu lay down beside Huo Yusen, and then pressed her side face to his warm palm.

The pair’s eyes faced each other.

The person in their hearts was right in front of them.

The atmosphere at this moment was quiet and warm with pulses of loving affection circling the room.

Huo Wu looked at Huo Yusen quietly for a moment before asking softly, “Big Brother, what did you discuss with him just now?”

Huo Yusen laughed indifferently. “It’s nothing. Anyway, you don’t have to care about him any longer.”

“Big Brother, I want to help you share some of it.” Huo Yuan dependently rubbed her face against Huo Yusen’s palm.

Huo Yusen smiled softly. “Huo Yuan won’t be a hindrance between us.” No matter what Huo Yuan said, he would only follow what was in his heart.

Huo Yuan hit him just now, but he did not fight back.

It was because he indeed hadn’t channeled this matter properly. In the eyes of outsiders, he and Huo Wu’s sibling relationship had lasted for 18 years. Although they weren’t related by blood, the matter of their relationship still would have a certain adverse impact on the Huo family.

Although he didn’t care about this impact at all, Huo Yuan was bound to take it to heart. So the beating he just received was his due. Nonetheless, after the beating just now, he no longer owed Huo Yuan anything.

Huo Yusen raised his hand, rested it on Huo Wu’s waist, and with a slight force, he brought her closer to him.

Huo Yusen was still lying face down, so he couldn’t embrace her into his arms.

Huo Yusen had some regrets. His discomfort diminished the beautiful scenery of the moment.

Huo Wu thought for a moment and said, “Big Brother, don’t be too busy these next few days and recover well.”

“Okay. What about you?”

Huo Wu smiled. “Of course, I’ll accompany you.”

Huo Yusen’s injury looked serious, but fortunately, it was only skin-deep. It didn’t hurt his organs and bones, so he could heal after a few days of recuperation.

However, although it was only a superficial injury, waiting for his injury to heal also would take some time.

At the beginning of this period, Huo Yusen could not lie down and sleep because of the wounds on his back. He could only lie on his stomach.

Huo Wu took up the burden of changing his dressing, feeding, and giving him water every day.

When Huo Wu was still taking care of Huo Yusen, Susan suddenly gave her a call.

“Ah Wu, the audition for the female lead of Fenghua has started.”

Huo Wu was caught off guard.

This year she snatched the three drama resources from Huo Yuqin, among which there was no Fenghua. If her memory served her right, Fenghua would start filming at least the year after next. She didn’t expect that the start of the filming of Fenghua in this life would be so much sooner.

From the very beginning, she intended to participate in Fenghua after she met Fu Yining.

Beauty was in the bones, not in the skin. The charm of a real beauty was emitted from the inside out. Although the female protagonist in Fenghua was dazzled by the prosperity of the big city as well as the display of lights after she first entered the big city from the countryside, there was no doubt that she was a genuine beauty. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to maneuver between so many men with such ease and earn a lot of money.

It was just a matter of fate sometimes. It was easy to get into this business, but why was it so difficult to get out of it? Even more so, she had become the most profitable cash cow under the Mama-san1, so it was even more difficult for her to get free.

The final ending of the heroine, in fact, had been predetermined from the start. Passing away at the peak of her life might be the best ending for the film.

But the story still made people sigh at the tragic end of a beauty.

It was challenging to play this role well.

For Huo Wu, this was also a great challenge.

She needed to figure out the state of the character’s heart countless times. She had to throw herself entirely into this complex role.

When she wandered between different men, smiling with a flirtatious expression, what was she thinking deep inside? Later, did she also get tired of this life?

At that time, the vicissitudes of life should be seen in her eyes. But her determination made her advance indomitably. She stubbornly insisted on her thoughts and desperately tried to climb up the social ladder for money.

On such a cursory thought, Huo Wu felt that it was very difficult to play this role well. If she played it, it would undoubtedly be a great challenge for her. But if she could overcome this challenge, her acting skills would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.

Huo Wu and Susan came to an agreement and ended the call.
