The birth of an actor

Chapter 95 Xu Tuo
"It's alright, the wound isn't too deep... So let's do as you said, no stitches, just observe it and see if the bleeding can be stopped."

Anxin, who had a headache and felt a little dizzy, hummed and closed her eyes after hearing the doctor's words.

He really felt like he was incredibly unlucky...

Is this year just another year of bad luck for me? How did I end up encountering something like this?

No, I can't think about it anymore, I'm so dizzy.

At that moment, outside the surgical emergency room of Peking University Third Hospital, a doctor who had just come out glanced at the woman wearing a mask and said:

"Now we need to see if we can stop the bleeding. The patient doesn't want anesthesia and stitches and is resisting strongly, but he is still conscious. Let's observe him first. If the wound closes well, then stitches won't be necessary."

"Uh-huh."

The woman responded:
"So...he's alright?"

"The external injury is not too bad, but there is a large mass on the left side of his head, and the area of ​​impact to the back of his head is very sensitive. He is also experiencing dizziness and tinnitus... We recommend a comprehensive head examination to rule out conditions such as concussion. We will make a final judgment after the examination results are available."

"it is good!"

The woman nodded vigorously:

"Can I go in?"

"Don't go in yet. Come in with me to get the form, and then you can go pay and wait in line."

"……OK."

The woman quickly followed the doctor into the emergency room, and ten minutes later, the two came out together.

She went to pay the fee, while the doctor pushed open the door to the treatment room.

Only then did I realize that Anxin seemed to have fallen asleep.

Startled, he quickly nudged Anxin:
"Hey, wake up."

"Uh……"

Anxin woke up groggily, not understanding why.

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was conscious. But fearing that he might have a brain hemorrhage, he quickly checked the wound on the back of his head.

After confirming that there was no longer any bleeding, he said:

"The wound has stopped bleeding now. Don't sleep. I'll contact someone to come and move you over. You absolutely mustn't sleep, understand?"

"...Okay, can I go now?"

Sister Hua is still waiting for him on the fourth floor of the Beijing Film Studio.

What's more... he doesn't even know who hit him.

Where is that bastard?
Hit someone and then disappear?

Alright, alright, you wait, this isn't over yet.

Give me a computer, I want to go to Autohome to choose a car!

"You can't leave. You need to go for other tests now."

After the doctor finished speaking, he added, "You absolutely mustn't fall asleep," then opened the door and left. Relief then heard sounds outside.

"Doctor, may I go in? I want to go in and see him."

"...Okay, you go in and keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't fall asleep."

"it is good."

With the sound, the door was pushed open again, and the familiar red wool coat walked in.

Anxin's eyesight was a little blurry right now, like he was nearsighted. Even though the other person had taken off their mask, he could still see them a little blurry.

Then the blurry figure, holding some forms, approached him.

"How are you...?"

Anxin was speechless, thinking to herself, "Can't you read it yourself?"
I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met you.

As if noticing An Xin's silence, Xu Qing said very sincerely:
"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. I sincerely apologize to you. Thank you for protecting me when I fell... Thank you! Please rest assured, I will cover all your medical expenses and any losses. I will take full responsibility. You need to go for a check-up in a bit... Don't worry, I won't run away. My name is Xu Qing, and I'm an actor. Many people at the Beijing Film Studio know me. After you finish your check-up and your condition stabilizes, I will call the police and have them make a record of our case. Don't worry."

Xu Qing?

This name sounds familiar.

Anxin was just about to try and figure out where she had heard the name before when she felt dizzy and immediately stopped thinking about it.

but……

"Can you do me a favor?"

"You said."

"I'll give you a pager number. Tell her about the situation. She's still waiting for me at the Beijing Film Studio."

“Are you an actor too?”

"Ah."

"Okay, tell me, I'll contact them right now."

Fortunately, An Xin still remembered Wang Jinghua's pager number. After she said it, Xu Qing immediately said:

"I'll contact them now, please wait a moment."

"Well, please."

"No trouble at all. Don't go to sleep. Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

As she spoke, An Xin vaguely saw Xu Qing take out a small mobile phone from his bag and dial a number.

"Your name is?"

"Peace of mind, safety, and the heart's peace."

"Okay, hello, please page me..."

After paged Wang Jinghua, An Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the phone call ended, the door was pushed open, and the doctor and nurses pushed a bed in.

Several people carefully lifted him onto the bed and then pushed him out.

……

A moment later, when An Xin was wheeled out of the MRI room, she immediately saw Wang Jinghua's figure:

"Don't worry, are you alright? Are you okay?"

"I'm feeling a little dizzy, Sister Hua, could you please make this trip for me?"

His tone was relaxed, but he was indeed still feeling dizzy and lightheaded, so he looked somewhat listless.

"It's nothing... Oh dear, how did it get like this?"

As Wang Jinghua spoke, she followed Anxin's hospital bed into the ward.

An Xin knew that his dizziness meant he couldn't walk and would need to be hospitalized. Plus, he was feeling quite weak, so he didn't respond to her. Soon, several caregivers wheeled him to a ward.

Anxin was surprised...

It turned out to be a private hospital room.

Xu Qing and a doctor in a white coat were also waiting there.

After Anxin was put on the hospital bed, the doctor came over, removed the gauze, carefully examined the wound, and nodded.

"The bleeding from the external wound has stopped, there's no need for stitches... Young man, how are you now?"

Anxin answered a few questions, which were basically nothing more than whether she felt dizzy or whether she could see people clearly.

After they finished answering, the doctor didn't say anything more. He told them to rest well and then called Wang Jinghua and Xu Qing out.

A moment later, Wang Jinghua walked in by herself.

Seeing that An Xin was still lying on her side, but with her eyes open, she asked:

"what happened?"

"I do not know either."

Anxin gave a bitter smile:
"She suddenly lunged at me and pulled me down with her."

"..."

Wang Jinghua was speechless for a moment.

First, he took a chair and sat down in front of An Xin, then sighed helplessly:

"Did you recognize who she is?"

"No, I couldn't even see her clearly. I only know her name is Xu Qing... I feel like that name sounds familiar."

"How could we not know her? Jinzhi in 'The Imperial City,' Helin in 'Fiery Lover,' Xiao Nan in 'East Meets West,' Princess Liyang in 'The Emperor's Shadow'... She's one of the most popular actresses in the country right now."

"Oh~"

Anxin remained noncommittal.

Because he had never watched any of those movies or TV series.

Seeing his slow-witted expression, Wang Jinghua sighed again:
"Sigh... The doctor who examined you just now was the head of neurology. His diagnosis was... a head injury, a mild concussion. We're waiting for the CT and MRI scans now."

"Did you tell Fan Bing? She has a cold, so I didn't let her come over to pick up the script."

"What kind of time is this to be worrying about other people?"

Wang Jinghua was increasingly speechless. After glancing at the door, she said:
"Don't worry, we definitely won't let her get away with this! We'll make her pay!"

"..."

Anxin was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself, "Why is he suddenly trying to extort money from me?"
Isn't it said that people's hearts are simple in this era?

Am I supposed to become the grandmaster of extortion?
He waved his hand weakly.
"No, she didn't do it on purpose... I'm just unlucky."

"We can't let her off the hook, you're definitely going to have a scar, you know?"

"It's not like it'll leave a scar on my face..."

As he was speaking, the door opened, and Xu Qing, a middle-aged man in a black overcoat, and two uniformed police officers walked in together.

Wang Jinghua stood up abruptly, and after the group circled around to An Xin, Xu Qing said:

"Don't worry, these two comrades are here specifically to find out what's going on. I need to explain the situation to them in front of you. If there's anything wrong, just say so. Is that alright?"

"it is good."

"Here's what happened, officer. I went to the Beijing Film Studio today to pick up a script, but I was so focused on reading it that I didn't pay attention when I went downstairs and missed a step..."

Xu Qing made it very clear, the regulations are very clear, and there is no way to shirk responsibility.

They even stated it quite bluntly:

"If he hadn't held me tight and protected me when we both fell down, I would definitely have been hit too... Thank you, don't worry."

"Uh...it's okay."

After Anxin finished speaking, she realized that what she said was a bit strange.

Even Xu Qing was taken aback, not expecting to hear such a "polite" remark at a time like this.

After listening, the two police officers nodded:
"We understand the situation. Have you had any disputes? What about compensation? Do you need our mediation?"

"No need, I will cover all his medical expenses. As for subsequent compensation... we can discuss it ourselves. I called you two here just to report the situation. Thank you for your help."

"Okay, then you two can register."

"Don't let him get up... Don't worry, tell me, I'll write it for you."

"it is good……"

After An Xin finished writing down his ID card information, Xu Qing also filled in his own information. This was equivalent to filing a police report. Both parties had no objection to the statements made. If any trouble arose later, this report could be used as evidence.

After completing the formalities, the two police officers left.

After the two left, Xu Qing introduced the middle-aged man who had remained silent to An Xin and Wang Jinghua:

"This is my uncle. He came here especially after hearing about my situation. Don't worry, Manager Wang, I will take full responsibility for this. Let's check the injury first, and once the doctor has the results, we'll start treatment as soon as possible. Is that alright?"

Wang Jinghua immediately looked at An Xin.

But Anxin only cared about one question at this moment:
"Can I sleep now? I feel a little dizzy, and my eyelids are a bit heavy."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and said:

"I'll go ask the doctor."

He said this and quickly walked out. After he left, Xu Qing looked at An Xin's exhausted appearance, and a trace of guilt reappeared on his face:
"I'm so sorry..."

"It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose, I forgive you."

Wang Jinghua seemed somewhat speechless.

But he didn't say much.

At this moment, the middle-aged man returned and said:

"The doctor said I can rest for a while."

"Well... Manager Wang, shall we go out?"

"Don't worry, are you sure you can manage on your own?"

"Okay, I'll lie down for a while, Sister Hua, I feel dizzy."

After saying that, Anxin stopped talking and closed her eyes.

He slept for an unknown amount of time, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Fan Bing lying on the headboard of his bed.

Outside the window, it was already dark.
