I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

Genkawa Yu murmured, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, but he quickly relaxed, "It's alright... not too long."

"You'd better stay here quietly for the next two months."

Mai Sakurajima remembered the short-haired girl she'd stayed up all night with the previous night and said, "Your little assistant is over there~"

The girl pointed, and following her gaze, Yuu Genkawa noticed a small cot not far from his hospital bed, where Megumi Kato was lying quietly, covered with a quilt.

“She stayed here all day yesterday, and by 3 a.m. she was so tired that I had to force her to go and rest for a while.”

"You've really worked hard."

Genkawa Yu sighed, deeply moved by the two women's companionship.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the ward door.

Upon receiving the news that Genkawa Yu had awakened, the first to arrive were Kato Arashi, the president of Hoshino Agency, and Nakahara Kazuya, Genkawa Yu's manager.

Both men looked grave and travel-worn, clearly having rushed over from Tokyo as soon as they received the news.

Kato Arashi first carefully inquired about Genkawa Yu's injuries and feelings. After confirming that his mental state was good, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, with Genkawa Yu's current fame and status, he was already the agency's number one cash cow.

Kazuya Nakahara was more concerned about Yu Minakawa's condition; since he was injured, his subsequent work had to be suspended.

"President, Nakahara-san," Genkawa Yu said, though weak, his mind was clear.

"Has word gotten out that I'm injured?"

"It got out, and it trended on Twitter last night."

"Then please take a picture for me now and post it on the official Twitter account to let everyone know I'm safe. After all, there are a lot of people paying attention to 'Alice in the Land of the Dying,' and I'm afraid it might cause more trouble."

Kato Arashi and Nakahara Kazuya exchanged a glance and both nodded.

Posting photos to reassure fans is indeed the best way to stabilize public opinion and appease them. With the help of Kazuya Nakahara, Yuu Minakawa sat up a little and leaned against the pillow. He gave the phone camera a pale but still warm smile and then made a "V" sign with his right hand (which was not injured).

The background is a hospital ward, but he deliberately avoided the medical equipment.

Yu Minakawa dictated a simple tweet, which was edited by Kazuya Nakahara.

I'm so sorry to have worried everyone. I'm fine now, I just need a little time to recover, and I'll be back soon! Thank you all for your concern and support.

The tweet was immediately met with a frenzy of reposts, likes, and comments from fans and media who had been waiting for it.

Seeing his bright eyes, though weak, immediately calmed the fans' intense panic.

The official accounts of Hoshino Agency and Burning Series Agency also reposted the statement, releasing a more detailed official statement confirming that Yu Genkawa's injury is stable and he needs to rest, and thanking everyone for their concern and reassurance.

This timely action effectively quelled the unexpected public opinion crisis.

Half an hour later, Aoyama, the director of "Alice in the Land of the Dying," also came to visit with the producer. Aoyama's face was full of guilt and lingering fear, and he repeatedly bowed to Genkawa Yu to apologize.

Although he was the absolute leader of the production team, this project was a high-octane one, and Yu Genkawa was Suoh Hayabusa's current partner, so he was also worried that something might really go wrong.

"Director Aoyama, don't blame yourself too much. No one can predict accidents."

Instead, Yuu Genkawa comforted the director, asking, "How should we handle the filming now?"

Director Aoyama thought for a moment and then said, "Don't worry about that! I've already had an emergency meeting with the production team and investors to discuss it. Your injury is the most important thing. You must fully recover before you can join the crew for filming."

“Our current filming schedule will be significantly adjusted. We can focus on filming the scenes of all other actors first, especially the large group scenes in the [Seaside] section and the supporting characters' side stories. All the main scenes involving [Arisu Ryohei] will be postponed until after you recover and then filmed in a concentrated manner.”

"This way, we can save time and costs to the greatest extent possible, and also give you enough time to recover. Genkawa-kun, just focus on recovering. We'll be waiting for you!"

This decision was undoubtedly the best option, and Genkawa Yu nodded in complete agreement.

After the director left, the ward returned to quiet for a while.

Looking at his immobile left arm and right shoulder, Yuan Chuanyu sighed helplessly, as the trouble caused by his limited mobility began to show.

"Kato-san".

He looked at Kato Megumi, who had already woken up. She was standing to the side with a calm expression on her face. "Could you please go back to the hotel and bring me my laptop?"

Kato Megumi looked up and immediately understood what he meant, so she objected, "Mr. Genkawa, you just had surgery. What you need now is absolute rest and recuperation, not to think about the script. The doctor has clearly instructed you to avoid overworking your brain."

"I know."

Genkawa Yu smiled and said, "But what can I do in this state besides lying down? My brain isn't broken, so I might as well use it."

The script for "Love Like a Bouquet" was stuck at a crucial point, and since he had nothing else to do, he decided to use this time to perfect the details and wrap things up.

If you're just typing, it's fine to use your right hand and type slowly.

Kato Megumi stared at him silently for a few seconds, and after a long silence, she finally gave in.

However, before leaving, Kato Megumi added very seriously, "I'll go get my computer now, but Genkawa-san must promise me that I can only work three hours a day, and I must lie down immediately when it's time to rest."

"...Okay, I promise you."

After Kato Megumi left, only Sakurajima Mai remained in the room. The girl rested her chin on her hand and looked at Genkawa Yu with a gentle expression.

"Genkawa-kun, are you hungry now?"

"Hmm..." Yuan Chuanyu thought for a moment and realized that he was indeed a little hungry. He had only been receiving intravenous fluids since yesterday and had not eaten anything.

"Then I'll go buy it for you now. Besides, judging from your appearance, you probably don't have much trouble using utensils, right?" Mai Sakurajima thought for a moment, then suddenly added, "How about I feed you later?"

"..."

"Stop joking, it's not like I can't move my right hand." Yuan Chuan You said helplessly.

"No, I want to stay and take care of you. This whole thing started because of me, and I have to take responsibility!"

“Sakurajima-san,” Genkawa Yu sighed, “Director Aoyama just said that you still need to film your scenes. I’m awake now, and Kato can take care of me.”

"I..."

"Besides, Sakurajima-san is different from me. If you stay here, what will happen to your job?" Genkawa Yuu interrupted her gently but firmly. He understood her eyes and was touched, but he needed to be more rational.

After all, Mai Sakurajima is a big star who needs to run around to various events every day; it's impossible for her to do nothing for two months.

In today's world, it's an ironclad rule that the more popular someone is, the busier they are. If someone in the entertainment industry can't get any work, it means their popularity has vanished.

"Furthermore, your agency would absolutely not agree to you abandoning all your work and staying here for an extended period. Kato-san is my assistant, and handling these matters is within her job scope, making her the most suitable person to do so."

"But..."

Mai Sakurajima still wanted to persist, her beautiful eyes misting over, and she unconsciously gripped Yu Minakawa's small hand even tighter.

Just then, there was another knock on the ward door.

The second wave of visitors arrived—it was Haruto Yamazaki.

He strode in carrying an expensive fruit basket. Upon seeing the two people standing very close to him, he paused slightly, but still spoke instinctively.

"Yuanchuan, you're finally awake."

After entering, he lowered his voice and became cautious because Mai Sakurajima was present.

"How are you? Does it still hurt? I wasn't on set yesterday, I only found out this morning from Twitter, it really scared me to death."

"Why are you here?" Yuan Chuan You was somewhat surprised.

"Of course! With something this serious happening to you, how could I not come? We're best brothers!"

Haruto Yamazaki put his things down, walked to the bedside, and carefully examined Yu Minakawa's miserable state. He couldn't help but sigh.

"That's really something, but thankfully the surgery went smoothly. Now all that's left is to wait for him to recover, right?"

"Ah."

Only then did he notice that the atmosphere in the ward seemed somewhat subtle, especially Sakurajima Mai's slightly reddened eyes and the undisguised look in her eyes as she looked at Genkawa Yu.

The next moment, Haruto Yamazaki instantly understood.

No wonder you can always see these two people sitting together closely discussing the script on set; that's really something.

However, given that Mai Sakurajima is a senior (she debuted earlier, not because she's older), he didn't dare to tease Yu Minakawa right now, and instead found a chair to sit next to her.

After Yamazaki Haruto arrived, Genkawa Yu brought up Sakurajima Mai's matter again. He didn't want Sakurajima Mai to give up her work and stay here, as it would be a loss for her.

After a long stalemate, Mai Sakurajima saw that Yuu Genkawa's attitude was firm, and with his manager calling one after another, the girl was in a dilemma.

"Alright, Sakurajima-san, besides Kato-san, there's also Yamazaki-san, who can take care of me too."

Genkawa Yu said gently, "Besides, he's a boy, so it will definitely be more convenient for him than for a girl."

"Hey, are you planning to make me stay here as a caregiver?" Yamazaki Haruto's eyes widened.

"What? Are you very busy with work lately?"

Genkawa Yu glanced at his friend, who was the same age as him.

Because he plays the role of Arisu Ryohei's good brother, Karibe Daikichi, in "Alice in the Land of the Dying," the two of them are basically inseparable in terms of screen time, so when Genkawa Yu is unable to film, he also does not need to go to the set.

"I..."

Haruto Yamazaki knew that Yuu Genkawa wasn't mocking him, but rather understood his good friend's veiled meaning, so he immediately spoke to Mai Sakurajima.

"Sakurajima-san, if you have work to do, go ahead and do it. I can take care of Genkawa here. Don't worry, we're good friends, and I'll take good care of him."

"..."

Sakurajima Mai gave him a cold glance, then looked at Genkawa Yu, "...I'll come over often after work, Genkawa-kun, you must take good care of yourself."

"Ah."

Mai Sakurajima finally gave in. She gave Yu Genkawa a deep look, her eyes filled with unspoken emotions, and then left the ward with great reluctance.

After she left, Yamazaki Haruto finally relaxed a lot. He sat on the edge of the bed and joked with Genkawa Yu, trying to ease his friend's mood in this way.

However, this brief "brotherly time" did not last long.

The ward door was knocked on again, and this time it was a girl who entered, which surprised Yamazaki Haruto once again.

It's Akane Kurokawa.

The other person had obviously arrived in a hurry, and may not have even had time to dress up. She was only wearing a simple black trench coat, and her face showed undisguised anxiety and travel-worn fatigue.

Kurokawa Akane's usual elegant demeanor was replaced by urgency and worry. As soon as she entered the room, her gaze was fixed precisely on Genkawa Yu on the hospital bed. Her eyes, which always carried a gentle smile, were now filled with heartache and concern.

She practically ran to the bedside, completely ignoring Yamazaki Haruto beside her, and very naturally reached out her little hand to tightly grasp Genkawa Yu's right hand.

The girl's voice trembled slightly with lingering fear, "Yuanchuan-kun! How are you? Are you in pain? I'm sorry I'm late!"

"I only had Director Aoyama's contact information, and it took me a long time to find out his specific hospital room... When I saw the news yesterday, I..."

Akane Kurokawa spoke somewhat hurriedly, her emotions clearly agitated, and she made no attempt to conceal her extraordinary concern for Yu Minakawa, her intimate attitude quite evident.
