Against the Current Hong Kong 1979

"I...I'm fine!"

Zhao Yazhi's face turned bright red, and her embroidered eyebrows furrowed tightly, but she still said that she was fine.

Zhang Shuai'an was a little annoyed and said seriously, "You're in so much pain, how can you be alright? I learned some massage techniques from barefoot doctors in the mainland, which should be able to help you."

Zhao Yazhi felt much better after his shout, but her embarrassment and annoyance were even more pronounced: "I already said I'm fine, let me rest by myself for a while."

Zhang Shuai'an refused to back down and insisted, "No, where are you hurt? Let me see."

Just as Zhao Yazhi was about to say something, Zhao Zhenqiang and the others pushed open the door and walked in.

"Ah Zi, are you alright?"

"Sister Zi, Sister Zi, how are you?"

"..."

Everyone who came in looked at Zhao Yazi with great concern and asked about her injuries.

Zhao Yazhi bit her lip and slowly sat up straight: "You see, I'm fine, I just need to rest. Don't crowd around me, go and do your work, don't let me delay the filming schedule."

"How can we leave you here alone?" Zhao Zhenqiang said with concern. "I think you should go to the hospital to get checked out, just in case you develop any lasting health problems!"

"Really, it's not necessary!" Zhao Yazhi quickly explained, "It's just a scrape, it hurts a little, but the bone isn't broken."

Seeing that Zhao Yazhi was indeed alright, Zhao Zhenqiang and the others were relieved.

Immediately, he burst out cursing, "Ling Zhijian, fire that extra! He has absolutely no professional ethics; he can even drop a sword. What kind of film is he? He should just go back to the countryside and farm!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Ling Zhijian was standing outside the dressing room, a fire burning inside him.

Zhao Yazhi said, "Don't make things difficult for them. After all, they've been filming for so long, they must be exhausted. It's understandable that they might have made a mistake. You all go ahead and get back to work, I'll just rest here."

Zhao Zhenqiang really didn't have much time to waste, so he didn't stand on ceremony and said to the others, "Then let Azi rest here for a bit. Everyone else, take your positions and finish filming today's scenes as soon as possible. We'll have a day off tomorrow so everyone can relax."

Tomorrow is the premiere date, and Zhao Zhenqiang naturally has to oversee it. Everyone in the crew is on edge, and they definitely need a break.

"Director Zhao, I'll stay and keep Sister Zi company," Zhang Shuai'an said. "I've learned some massage techniques before, which can help relieve her pain and maybe help her recover sooner."

"This isn't right, you're the male lead!" Huo Yaoliang said hesitantly from the side.

Zhao Zhenqiang waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Anzai's filming intensity is two or three times that of others. If it weren't for the need to accommodate other people's schedules, he would have finished filming ten episodes by now. Perfect, we can catch up on the other characters' schedules."

He then reminded her, "I'm entrusting this to you, Ah Zi. If you notice anything amiss, take her to the hospital immediately without hesitation."

"Sister Zi, you should get some rest." Chen Yulian, Jing Daiyin and others also expressed their concern, and then followed her out.

After everyone had left, Zhang Shuai'an turned around and said to Zhao Yazi, "Sister Zi, there are no outsiders here now. Tell me where you are injured, and I'll take a look."

"What do you mean there are no outsiders? Are you my wife?"

Zhao Yazhi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Why do you insist on staying? What if people misunderstand?"

This wasn't just baseless speculation, after all, her rumored affair with Huang Yuanshen had only recently been suppressed.

If rumors spread that she was alone in a room with a male actor, she would be in a situation she could never clear her name of.

"What are you afraid of? We're acting openly and honestly; we're not doing anything dirty!"

Zhang Shuai'an patted his chest, feigning nonchalance: "I'm not afraid of what others might say. Besides, Director Zhao agreed, and everyone else heard it."

Looking at Zhang Shuai'an's alluring face and his bright, sparkling eyes, which seemed as pure as crystal, Zhao Yazhi felt somewhat filthy.

Zhang Shuai'an activated his "Charming Eyes" buff and said softly, "Sister Zi, be good, let me see!"

"Um."

Zhao Yazhi didn't know what was wrong with her, but she nodded as if by some strange impulse.

Zhang Shuai'an immediately reached out and touched Zhao Yazhi's leg.

Snapped!

Zhao Yazhi felt Zhang Shuai'an's hand moving on her thigh, immediately came to her senses, and slapped his hand away: "Ah, what are you doing!"

Zhang Shuai'an asked with a puzzled look, "Look at the wound. Wasn't it a sword wound to the leg?"

Zhao Yazhi, embarrassed and annoyed, snapped, "The injury is...on my inner thigh, do you even need to look at it?!"

Zhang Shuai'an suddenly realized why Zhao Yazhi insisted on being alone and even chased the others away; it turned out her injury was in such an embarrassing place.

"Sister Zi, I absolutely did not have the slightest dirty thought."

Zhang Shuai'an suddenly put together the middle three fingers of his left hand and said to the lamplight, "I swear to the lamplight, I just wanted to see how badly you were injured so I could adjust the intensity of the massage to help you recover faster."

"No need," Zhao Yazhi shook her head demurely. "Go buy some wound medicine, I can apply it myself."

Zhang Shuai'an didn't say anything more, but instead held Zhao Yazhi's hand and applied his [Ice Skin Snow Skin] cream.

Zhao Yazhi felt a chill coming from Zhang Shuai'an's palm, and she inexplicably quieted down.

"Sister Zi, have you ever heard of special abilities?" Zhang Shuai'an started making things up. "Actually, I've had some unusual phenomena since I was born. I didn't know what they were before, but later a wise man said that I have special abilities."

Although the energy is weak, it can indeed relieve some minor ailments and pains. I won't check the wound; I'll just apply some ice to it through your pants to ease the pain. You can apply the medicine yourself later, is that alright?"

Hong Kong is a magical place; it is both a highly developed capitalist region and a land where feudal remnants are most preserved.

Many Hong Kong and Taiwanese tycoons and celebrities believe in Buddhism, but also in supernatural and superstitious things.

Otherwise, the White Dragon King of Thailand wouldn't have been so popular here for so long, and wouldn't have been revered as a deity by so many people.

"Are you serious?" Zhao Yazhi looked at Zhang Shuai'an with suspicion, but considering the strange behavior Zhang Shuai'an had shown recently, she became somewhat doubtful.

Zhang Shuai'an laughed and said, "Why don't we try and see? Anyway, it's just the two of us here, and no outsiders will see. What if it leaves a scar if we delay any longer?"

"Um!"

Zhao Yazhi felt a slight pain in the wound on her thigh and knew she couldn't delay any longer. When she met Zhang Shuai'an's eyes, she couldn't help but want to listen to him.

Knowing that this was a golden opportunity, Zhang Shuai'an immediately reached under Zhao Yazhi's skirt.

Zhao Yazhi was wearing an ancient-style dress with trousers underneath, and only her underwear was visible underneath.

Zhang Shuai'an traced her leg upwards, touching it little by little: "Is it here?"

Zhao Yazhi's pretty face flushed red. This was simply being touched on the leg and made her feel ashamed. How could she have agreed to let him do this?

Since things have come to this point, we can only finish it as soon as possible.

She shook her head slightly: "No, a little higher."

"here?"

"Go higher... Ah, no, not higher, right here, it hurts!"

"..."

Zhang Shuai'an located the wound and touched it; it was somewhat moist, indicating that the skin had been broken and was bleeding.

He gently pressed the wound, intending to use the [Ice Skin and Snow Skin] buff to apply an ice pack to it.

"Ouch~ Be gentle!"

Zhao Yazhi let out a soft moan of pain.

That voice is so incredibly melodious and beautiful.

However, Zhang Shuai'an quickly calmed down. He realized that poaching someone's partner should not be rushed; it should be done slowly, which would actually be faster.

He gently massaged the skin around the wound using the techniques the masseuses had used when he went to massage parlors before, to help the swelling and pain subside as quickly as possible.

"Hmm~" Zhao Yazhi didn't know what was wrong with her, but a strange heat was burning in her heart.

A moment later, she came to her senses and couldn't help but berate herself inwardly: "Zhao Yazhi, Zhao Yazhi, what on earth are you thinking! Are you really such a promiscuous woman?"

Zhang Shuai'an was unaware of the other person's thoughts. He simply finished applying ice to her face, then deftly withdrew his hand, his expression unusually calm, without revealing the slightest disrespect.

Actually, he was processing the system rewards in his mind.

But in Zhao Yazhi's eyes, Zhang Shuai'an was indeed a virtuous gentleman who remained unmoved by temptation!
