Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Feed You a Spoonful for 100,000

Lin Xu went to inquire about Ji Zeqiu's condition from the doctor and ran into Zhou Hongwen on her way back to the ward.

That talented actor of the new generation, the one Ji Zeqiu had specifically warned her to steer clear of.

And yet, unexpectedly, it was Zhou Hongwen who ended up saving him.

Zhou Hongwen's arm was wrapped in a bandage, slung around his neck, and his forehead was covered with a few patches of gauze, but it wasn't clear if he was injured anywhere else.

When he saw Lin Xu, a glint of light sparked in his eyes, “Miss Lin, what are you doing here?”

“I came to visit Ji Zeqiu.” Lin Xu approached, her face etched with gratitude, “I heard from Ji Zeqiu that when he fell from the wire, you caught him. Thank you.”

At that moment, they were both filming a scene that required wire work; Ji Zeqiu's wire had snapped, and Zhou Hongwen, who was beside him, reached out and grabbed him, buying some time for the crew to come to their rescue.

Even though they both ended up falling and getting injured, fortunately, it was nothing life-threatening.

“No need to be so formal, anyone there would have offered a hand to help. If only I had a little more strength back then, could've held on a bit longer, perhaps he wouldn't have gotten injured,” Zhou Hongwen said, a shade of apology on his face.

“Don't say that, the fact that he's not in danger is already a big relief. If it wasn't for you, who knows what could have happened,” Lin Xu was still very grateful to him and, after thanking him, asked about his injury.

“It's nothing serious, just a dislocated arm and a scratch on the forehead. It will heal in a few days,” Zhou Hongwen said.

“After your injury heals, let me treat you to a meal,” Lin Xu thought since he had saved Ji Zeqiu, it was only right to invite him for a meal.

Zhou Hongwen's cheeks turned red as if tinted by the sunset, and he became suddenly nervous, stuttering, “How…how can I let a lady pay… ”

“It's the right thing to do, so it's settled,” Lin Xu said as they exchanged contact information before she returned to Ji Zeqiu's ward.

Zhou Hongwen was left standing in place, stupidly grinning at the contact he had just added–Lin Xu's WeChat.

A few days after staying in the hospital, Ji Zeqiu followed Lin Xu home to continue his recovery.

Since the accident was due to a problem with the set's props, the director felt even less inclined to rush Ji Zeqiu back to the set and could only tell him not to worry, to recover well, and to return to the set when he was ready.

Ji Zeqiu was actually quite thrilled about this.

Because he was injured, he got a lot of attention from Lin Xu.

“Mother, I'd like an apple,” Ji Zeqiu said, looking at his arm that he couldn't lift, his face a picture of distress.

“I'll go wash one for you,” Lin Xu immediately took an apple to the kitchen and came back with it cut into small pieces.

She naturally picked up a little fork, speared a piece of apple, and brought it to Ji Zeqiu's mouth.

He hesitated for a moment, a shy blush slowly creeping up to his ears as he awkwardly opened his mouth and took a bite of the apple.

The sweet juice of the apple burst in his mouth, tasting sweeter than any fruit he'd had before.

In that moment, he wished the wound on his arm would never heal.

When it was time for lunch, Ji Zeqiu again looked troubled at the food before him, “Mother, my hand…”

But then, as he saw Lin Xu pick up the spoon, intending to feed him, a subtle joy appeared in his eyes and brows.

However, before the spoon reached his mouth, it was snatched away by Ji Tingyang.

Ji Tingyang handed the spoon to Ji Yuqiao, “Didn't you see your second brother is injured? Feed him.”

“Why should I do it?” Ji Yuqiao pouted.

“Feed him one spoonful and you'll get a hundred thousand in pocket money,” Ji Tingyang precisely hit Ji Yuqiao's weak spot.

Her eyes instantly lit up, sparkling with excitement.

She snatched the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of food, and stuffed it into Ji Zeqiu's mouth, “Second brother, let me feed you.”

Ji Zeqiu's face turned iron blue as he glared fiercely at Ji Tingyang and awkwardly dodged Ji Yuqiao's spoon, “I can eat by myself…”

“Second brother, we're siblings, you don't have to be so polite with me, let me feed you!” Ji Yuqiao forcefully pushed the spoon into his mouth.

After finishing one spoonful, she continued to shove another spoonful in.

Ji Zeqiu's chewing couldn't keep up with her feeding, and his mouth was stuffed full of food, his muffled voice filled with anger, “Ji Yuqiao, are you trying to choke me?”

“Ten spoonfuls, fifteen spoonfuls, twenty spoonfuls…” She muttered under her breath, growing more excited as the count increased.

It wasn't until Ji Zeqiu's rice bowl was empty that she still seemed unsatisfied, “Second brother, you definitely haven't had enough, I'll go get you another bowl of rice, just wait for me.”

Ji Zeqiu: “…”

When Ji Yuqiao came out with the freshly scooped rice, Ji Zeqiu had already disappeared from the dining table.

“Where is Second brother?” She looked around.

“He went back to his room,” said Ji Tingyang.

She held the rice and pounded on the door as if slamming into a wall, shouting loudly, “Second brother, open the door! I'm here to feed you!”

The commotion was akin to bandits breaking down the door, making Ji Zeqiu even less inclined to open it.

A hint of helplessness tinted Miss Lin's smiling face as she turned to Ji Tingyang, “Zeqiu is injured, and you're still teasing him.”

“Ji Zeqiu needs someone to feed him, the sister needs pocket money, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?” Ji Tingyang raised an eyebrow.

Now that the two light bulbs had left, he could even have a meal alone with his mother, it was more like hitting three birds with one stone.

Ji Tingyang pondered for a moment, contemplating the feasibility of making this a regular practice.

Even though Ji Zeqiu was recuperating at home and didn't need to go to the set to film, he still had to attend some light engagements.

The agent arranged some interviews, photo shoots, and endorsement events for him…

All things considered, it wasn't much more relaxing than shooting a film.

One day, while the agent was waiting for Ji Zeqiu to come downstairs in the living room, he casually asked Lin Xu, “Are you coming to Zeqiu's birthday party the day after tomorrow?”

“Birthday party?” Lin Xu was startled, “Isn't his birthday still half a year away?”

Why was he celebrating his birthday so early?

The agent explained, “It's the birthday on his official profile. The injury incident a couple of weeks ago was a bit of a fiasco, right? This time we're planning a big birthday party, inviting some fans to attend, and it could also help soothe their feelings.”

Lin Xu now understood, “It's all fans, it might not be a good idea for me to go, I'll pass.”

“You can skip the daytime party, but you must come to the evening gathering, and bring President Ji along too,” the agent suggested with a wink.

The evening gathering had invited quite a few people from the industry, and perhaps with Ji Tingyang's help, they could drum up some major collaborations for Ji Zeqiu.

The agent's calculations were all set.

“Alright, I'll bring him along then,” Lin Xu said with a smile.

Only once she arrived did she realize that this birthday gathering was even larger than the previous ones, with many attendees.

She even spotted Xie Changyan and Xiao Yu…
