Chapter 137: Help Up
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Prop room.
The surface of the mottled wall was still covered in white paint. On the spots where the surface of the self-leveling floor was slightly uneven, putty[1] had been applied on so of those pits. That was probably the aftermath of the previous renovation. Regardless, there were ssy things piled up all over most of the room.
ng Xue the superstar sat in the middle of the room with her head craned up as she stared with her two glassy eyes at the ceiling surface and the paint that was peeling off.
How should she describe her feelings at that mont?
She was overwheld with extre pleasure, naturally.
At the sa ti, she must also forcefully resist her urge to scream out of her pleasure.
She was ng Xue the superstar. How could she simply scream out loud?
ng Xue forced herself to sit up straight and straighten her lower back.
Screaming out loud like so cheap dancer was sothing that ng Xue must not allow herself to do. What if there were reporters outside? Even if there were no reporters outside, she still could not scream. Now that ‘self-dia[2]’ was a trend, the efficiency of friend circles and Weibo spreading news would only be much faster than the dia itself.
However, the back of her neck also felt much better now.
ng Xue had forgotten how long it had been since her neck felt so comfortable.
Ever since the concert tour? Longer than that. Ever since filming the previous movie? Longer than that. Ever since she had her very first entertainnt talk show in which the show was hers to host? It was indeed interesting, and because there was no other entertainnt talk show during that period of ti that ng Xue was able to evolve from being a ‘pretty singer and graceful dancer’ to being a ‘beautiful dance queen’, then becoming a national superstar…
“Alright.” When Ling Ran saw that the progression of the mission had increased up to 26,380 and stopped there, he decisively declared that he was done.
“In just these few minutes?” ng Xue was a little dissatisfied. She was just recalling her most interesting experiences at that mont.
“It’s enough.” Ling Ran put away the half-empty alcohol-based hand sanitizer, made a calculation quietly in his heart, and said, “You did not have to apply so much of it on your neck just now.”
The volu of the remaining alcohol-based hand sanitizer would not be enough to sanitize even a few cervical vertebrae. If he ever encountered another wasteful person, the remaining solution would be completely used up in another two to three sessions.
Since there was still a few hours left before the concert ended, Ling Ran was anxious to see his mobile phone only having 30% battery left.
ng Xue glared at Ling Ran with her round and big eyes.
‘Is he complaining? He’s definitely complaining, right?’
ng Xue stood back up on her feet in a flash.
Her stomped on the bench, making herself look like a man. Soon after that, ng Xue habitually lowered her head out to lecture Ling Ran…
“Huh? You’re taller than ?” ng Xue was a little surprised.
Her height was top among the ladies in the entertainnt circle. She was also taller than most of the male superstars.
Being comparable to the height of the western models was also one of the key reason ng Xue was able to shine in her debut. She had also received notices from many entertainnt shows, building up her fa rapidly from that…
In an era where the figures of idols were becoming more and more delicate, ng Xue stood out among the idols who were forced to don platform shoes to prevent any further humiliation. It was difficult for her to remain unnoticed.
After easily breezing her way through the rookie phase, people started to think twice before standing beside her.
Ling Ran was even taller than ng Xue.
It had not been obvious when he was sitting down, performing osteopathic manipulation. Now, that he was on his feet, ng Xue actually needed to lift her head up to look at him.
ng Xue stepped back haltingly before she looked at Ling Ran’s face and asked, “Are you really a doctor?”
The entertainnt circle was the ground where handso n and beautiful won gathered. ng Xue never showed any face to the n proclaid themselves to be handso. But towards a man who was as handso, proud, and charming as Ling Ran…
Calm returned to ng Xue’s eyes, and she thought quietly to herself. ‘No matter what purpose he has, no matter how he answers, he must be treated indifferently.’
Ling Ran took a quick glance at ng Xue and said, “Yes.”
“I’m going to go on stage.” ng Xue prepared to ask Ling Ran which hospital he ca from. But then again, she felt that it would turn out weird if she asked questions about a man. So she decided to ask Li Lei later. That was the first ti she encountered a person who was harder to chat with than herself…
“Then I will return first.” Ling Ran felt a little regrettable as he looked at ng Xue’s back and head. He turned around and left.
ng Xue did not expect Ling Ran to be so decisive. She also felt that his gaze at the end was strange. She could only quietly watch Ling Ran leave the vicinity.
Ling Ran was regretting the fact that his mission progress had stagnated.
The ti to relieve pain in different parts was calculated individually. For a big custor such as ng Xue herself, one massage on the neck could increase the accumulated ti of pain relief by nearly one thousand hours. She was truly a human treasure chest.
And when he was at the sanatorium, Ling Ran was only able to relief pain for approximately one thousand hours after performing one hour of massage manipulation on dozens of old folks, n and won.
Ling Ran made a guess. That was probably because of two factors. One factor was that the state of ng Xue’s cervical vertebra’s health was worrying. On the other hand, she was younger. Her muscles, ligants, nerves, bones and other tissues had good recovery ability. Although one massage manipulation could not completely cure her of her problems, the effects would last for a long ti. And relatively, the ti she would spend being relieved of her pain would be longer.
From this, one could deduce that the body must already be at its suboptimal health status[3] to be able to exhaust an otherwise, perfectly healthy cervical vertebrae to such lengths. The issues on her spine, back, and her head were just as glaring. Perhaps she would turn out to be one of the huge cases. It was indeed regrettable for being unable to grasp on the opportunity.
Speaking of which, ng Xue’s neck condition was still very good. Her neck was quite straight and slender, and it was slightly plump. The blood flow in the blood vessels under her neck was abundant. The carotid arteries on three corners and the organization at the base of her neck were perfect. The anterior rectus capitis muscle[4], rectus capitis lateralis muscle[5], longus colli muscle[6], superior oblique muscle[7], inferior oblique muscle[8], and many others were firm and had yet to lose strength. Maybe she had even undergone resistance training before. Her trapezius muscles[9] were especially beautiful. Her muscle bundles were long and powerful, both functional and beautiful, just a bit stiff. Although the curvature of the neck bone had changed slightly, the base remained excellent. There was one particular section of her vertebral body where the odontoid process[10] was strong, and the spinous process[11] was small and balanced…
However, the concert was about to begin in a blink of an eye. Ling Ran believed that he was not an unreasonable person, and he would not force other people to be massaged. Hence, he went back to his seat obediently and waited for the concert to start.
“Do you know anyone from this entertainnt company?” The beautiful girl who sat on Ling Ran’s left had many words to say. She was even more keen to gather intel about Ling Ran.
Ling Ran nodded slightly and said, “I know a person.”
“Have you been on television?” The girl was beating around the bush.
Ling Ran hesitated for a mont. His mother Tao Ping lost her patience. She said, “My son is a doctor. Why would he be on television?”
Ling Ran looked at his mother.
Tao Ping said, “Don’t count on the one while you were young. She ant to ask about your job.”
The girl nodded with a blush. Then, she said, “Auntie, you look really young.”
At that mont, the girl’s heart was fluctuating rapidly. She was so happy that she was about to soar into the sky.
Who would have thought that coming to a concert would actually net her a boyfriend that looked so handso who even had such a nice mother? When she told her friends about it in the future, she could still say words such as ‘ng Xue Concert VIP seats’. It would be overwhelmingly romantic…
“Doctor Ling, can you do another favor?” This ti around, Li Lei ca out running at a fast pace. Her face seed a little anxious.
“Alright.” Ling Ran also did not ask for the reason. The reason that she looked for him must naturally be for treatnt. There was no need to say it out loud to him in public.
The girl who sat on Ling Ran’s left was staring at Ling Ran as he left. She could only feel the touch of his leg grazing her knee…
“Aren’t we going backstage?” After Ling Ran noticed that they were going at a completely different direction, he asked Li Lei about it.
“There is one audience mber on the first floor. He fell sohow and got his face covered in blood.”
“Didn’t you guys assign a doctor around here?” Ling Ran took a quick glance at Li Lei.
“The person requested to be admitted to Yun Hua Hospital. He claid that he has a long dical history. Our designated doctor can’t stop the bleeding. I thought that since you’re Yun Hua Hospital Ergency Departnt’s…” Li Lei’s voice was a little tense. After all, she saw quite a lot of blood.
Ling Ran nodded to express his understanding. Actually, he already understood when she ntioned that the person said he had a long dical history. There were many patients who suffered chronic illnesses. If they were sent to hospitals that were unfamiliar with their conditions and the doctors used unsuitable dicine to treat the patients or perhaps even implented inappropriate ergency treatnt thods on the patients, the patients would not live a good life after the treatnt, even if they did survive in the first place. For patients like Boss Shao, the doctors would need to consider liver and kidney damages while applying dicine on him. His heart’s endurance was also very weak…
While Ling Ran thought, he followed d Li Lei up to the real VIP hall on the first floor. After that, he saw a man lying on the sofa while he bled slowly. The face that was covered in blood stains seed a little familiar.
“Boss Shao? Why are you here?” Ling Ran only took two seconds to recognize him.
Boss Shao was breathing in when he smiled. “Has the ambulance arrived? I’m feeling a little uncomfortable… I’m just here to take a look at the concert…”
While he was talking, the colorful lights in the stadium suddenly started glowing.
Boss Shao imdiately struggled up and said, “Help up.”
