Chapter 48: CH 35

Chapter 35: Symptoms

As soon as Yan Mu Lin had a fever, he also cooled down quickly. The next day, he could jump and frisk about. He was not dizzy, his head was not hurt and he could even walk five floors in one breath.

Early in the morning, Yan Mu Lin opened his eyes. He found himself in a strange room. A bad feeling came over him in an instant. What did I do last night? How did I sleep on this bed?

He could not remember a lot.

But what he could remember, he did not know whether it was true or not!

He seemed to have asked a very stupid question, and Shao Nuo Yu answered him? But he did not remember what he said.

He’ll just forget about it temporarily! That would turn out to be a wise, but also a stupid choice.

When Yan Mu Lin got up, he saw his clothes folded on the bed. It had already been washed clean. Also, the other side of the bed was not wrinkled, which made Yan Mu Lin feel relieved. If he hugged the prince while sleeping then that would be too sinful.

Yan Mu Lin quickly got up and headed to the bathroom to solve his physiological needs. When he turned around, he saw a toothbrush with toothpaste and a cup filled with water at the edge of the sink. He felt moved.

How would he get out of this room now ah?

No matter if it was Shao Nuo Yu or his servant who did this, Yan Mu Lin still felt moved. Even after washing his face several times, he still felt excited.

When he looked at the time, it was 7 AM. It would take him two hours to get to the set. Yan Mu Lin felt that he would be late, so he changed his clothes faster. There was no time for him to feel moved.

Nervously, he walked into the lounge. Yan Mu Lin saw Shao Nuo Yu, who was sitting on a chair beside a floor-to-ceiling window, drinking tea while he was using a laptop to handle business affairs. He was wearing a V-neck sweater.

As lively as ever, he did not notice that Shao Nuo Yu did not sleep last night. Yan Mu Lin just thought that he woke up early.

Yan Mu Lin thanked Shao Nuo Yu, “Last night, I troubled you.”

Shao Nuo Yu smiled, “It was nothing. In the morning, do you drink milk or tea?” He lifted the cup in his hand.

Yan Mu Lin liked to drink tea, but he did not understand the tea ceremony. If you talked to him about that, then it would be like playing the lute to a cow. Therefore, he chose to drink milk. Milk is nutritious and healthy and he would not be called elegant or vulgar.

playing the lute to a cow  – offering a treat to an unappreciative audience.

Shao Nuo Yu moved to the kitchen and poured him a cup of warm milk. He said to Yan Mu Lin, who was still admiring the scenery beside the window,  “Let’s have breakfast.”

Their breakfast was Xiao Long Bao, Har Gow, and Congee with Pork and Century Egg. It looked simple but it was very sumptuous. Yan Mu Lin ate until he was full and thanked him again. He said that he had to leave now for he had to leave at 8 AM to arrive at 9 AM to meet the program team.

Shao Nuo Yu looked at the time and said, “Your agent called earlier. I picked it up and asked her to wait for you at the gate of the subdivision. She would ask your assistant to pack your luggage for you. You can rest assured.”

Yan Mu Lin speechlessly looked at him, “Just now… you didn’t say….”

Shao Nuo Yu blinked, “Then are you blaming me?”

Yan Mu Lin: “No, not at all.” Shao Nuo Yu was sitting in front of him. He was not near-sighted so he could see everything Shao Nuo Yu was doing. Even just this simple blink was a little demon that kept striking at his heart. He really wanted to take the other person down.

Of course, he would not blame the prince!

His arrangement was simply too good. Aside from licking the other’s handsome face, Yan Mu Lin wanted to touch it too.

After the two ate breakfast, Shao Nuo Yu changed clothes and prepared to go to the company.

Yan Mu Lin was also going to change when he realized that the other entered the room he woke up in this morning. When Shao Nuo Yu came out of the room; Yan Mu Lin wanted to speak but stopped.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with my clothes?”

Yan Mu Lin shook his head and stuttered slightly, “I.. Did I sleep in your room last night?”

Shao Nuo Yu nodded, “Yes. The maid was not there last night. No one was there to clean the guest room, so I decided to let you sleep in my bedroom.”

Yan Mu Lin asked bluntly, “Where did you sleep last night?”

Shao Nuo Yu fixed his tie and smiled. He did not answer him. If he told Yan Mu Lin that he wiped his sweat and saliva last night then the other would surely be so ashamed that he could die. Therefore, he decided not to tell the truth.

Yan Mu Lin continued to ask, “…How about the toothpaste, was it squeezed by you?”

Shao Nuo Yu maintained his soft smile, “En. Are there any problems?”

Yan Mu Lin whispered, “Are you this good to everyone who stays in your home?” He asked this to have a clear picture of the situation.

Shao Nuo Yu stood in front of Yan Mu Lin, two steps away from him. He was taller than Yan Mu Lin, so when the other looked up, he was caught unprepared when Shao Nuo Yu took advantage of this and kissed him on the lips.

“Still not awake?”

The prince kissed me. Don’t know what to do.

Yan Mu Lin: “……”

He kissed me!

He kissed me!

He kissed me!

What do I do?

What do I do?

What do I do?

Shao Nuo Yu laughed lightly, “Inhale.”

Yan Mu Lin: Inhale.

Shao Nuo Yu said, “Exhale.”

Yan Mu Lin: Exhale.

Finally, he was able to breathe smoothly.

Woosh! Yan Mu Lin’s face instantly turned red. He lost face, so shameful.

“It’s two minutes before 8 AM. You should be going.” Shao Nuo Yu’s voice was like magic. Yan Mu Lin felt happy listening to it, then was immediately distressed.

Shao Nuo Yu added, “You’re the only one who has stayed in my house.”

He drove Yan Mu Lin to the neighborhood’s gate. Before closing the door, Shao Nuo Yu said to the other: “Goodbye, Sleeping Beauty.”

Yan Mu Lin listened to his words without missing anything. His left hand shook as he closed the door causing it to create a loud noise. That is so embarrassing!

What Yan Mu Lin did not know was that his actions made Shao Nuo Yu really pleased. He watched him enter the car before going to the company. Shao Nuo Yu still had to visit his maternal uncle this afternoon. He hoped that they would have an agreeable conversation.

Ah Ya, who fetched Yan Mu Lin, has been staring at his face since he got in the car, “Mu Lin, your complexion does not look well. Wait for a while, I will buy some medicine for you, okay?”

Yan Mu Lin shook his head and touched his forehead, “I had a slight fever last night, but I’m okay now.”

Ah Ya worriedly said, “Then you should call me when you need something. Ah, that’s no good. I’ll still buy you some backup medicine just in case. I will leave it in the car.”

Actually, he was very curious. Who was Yan Mu Lin’s friend? How was he able to live in a rich and expensive district.

Yan Mu Lin did not stop him. Midway, Zhou Wen Jing got into the car. She looked at Yan Mu Lin, “You were sick and stayed at a friend’s house last night?”

Yan Mu Lin, who got excited by Shao Nuo Yu earlier on, nodded. With his pale complexion, he was unable to lie:  “En, I was waiting for a vehicle last night when it suddenly rained. Luckily, I met my friend so I stayed in his house for the night.”

Zhou Wen Jing sighed and said, “It’s definitely useless to wait for a taxi when it is raining at night. Next time, you should ask Ah Ya to pick you up. Currently, your body isn’t yours alone. If you are sick then you won’t be able to take part in filming. The gains do not make up for the losses.”

Ah Ya agreed with her. Yan Mu Lin knew that they cared about him so he said: “Thank you, Aunt Zhou. I got it.”

They arrived at the set thirty minutes early. Yan Mu Lin was not the latest nor was he the earliest. Unexpectedly, the one who arrived before him was Tao Bai Chen. Last time, he tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice he used to lure it. This time, was he actually determined to work hard?

to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice he used to lure it – to try to gain an advantage only to end up worse off

Yan Mu Lin looked for Director Teng Jian Ren and the others and greeted them. He then sat on the side as he waited for the filming to start. He and his cameraman were on time. During the first episode, they did not exchange many words; but this time they could have small talk.

Yan Mu Lin noticed that not only were the staff surrounding them was different but also the location they were shooting in was different from the previous episode. They were a distance away from the entrance of a modern building, waiting outside.

Yan Mu Lin pretended that he was admiring the scenery as he walked around when he finally found what he was looking for.

Fushan’s Child Welfare Agency and Therapy Center.

Yan Mu Lin had no deep understanding of the agency’s main projects. He had never heard of it before. As far as he knew, welfare agencies were places where one could adopt abandoned children so that they could have a better life.

Since no one announced where they were, Yan Mu Lin did not speak up. He asked Zhou Wen Jing about the purpose of a welfare agency.

Zhou Wen Jing answered him patiently, “A Child Welfare Agency and Therapy Center is a place where successful business people raise funds to treat children with mental problems. To say that it is a hospital is not an exaggeration. The center takes in children who have mental trauma due to domestic violence, parental death, etc. They would have a specific treatment plan for certain cases. However, these are only for those under the age of 14.”

Yan Mu Lin nodded, “Oh, so it’s like that. Aunt Zhou, did you know that this is a welfare agency?”

Zhou Wen Jing: “I know.”

Yan Mu Lin paused, “……Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I thought you knew since this welfare agency has a long history. Surprisingly, you didn’t know about it. Where is your common sense?”

Yan Mu Lin rolled his eyes at her, “It got eaten by a dog.”

Zhou Wen Jing saw that a cameraman was walking towards them so she immediately changed the topic, “You have to film so pay attention to yourself.”

Yan Mu Lin turned around and gave Master Lu, who was not far away, a perfect smile: “Senior Lu, long time no see.”

Zhou Wen Jing praised Yan Mu Lin’s impromptu display hatefully. This child, hey!

Ever since she took over Yan Mu Lin, Zhou Wen Jing realized that she did not have to do a lot as an agent. She would give Yan Mu Lin new contracts, but every time she did, Yan Mu Lin would surprise her. For example, 《Dream of the Red Mansions》, It was entirely beyond her expectations.

Two months ago, there was a rumor that《Dream of the Red Mansions》was looking for voice actors. However, those who auditioned were all veteran voice actors while Yan Mu Lin was a newcomer who just debuted, so Zhou Wen Jing forgot about it. The crew was the one who contacted them. She did not expect that they would call her to ask Yan Mu Lin to see the directors.

Really, she wanted to look after Yan Mu Lin but it was impossible to treat him like a newcomer. His path would be different from other people. There was no rhythm at all.

Therefore, she always paid attention to every popular crew. It was possible for a director to suddenly look for Yan Mu Lin. The 《Dream of the Red Mansions》crew was a classic example.

The camera panned to Yan Mu Lin. Director Teng gave Yan Mu Lin and the others their mission for today.

“Asking all the actors to change into the given attire of the Welfare Agency.  Also, please follow the related precautions and instructions of your designated doctor on how to communicate with the children in the treatment center. First, everyone would have an hour’s worth of theoretical study. After you finish, you will follow your designated doctor to study on the spot. In the afternoon, each actor would be assigned to a child to treat, communicate and help them in their treatment with the help of a doctor. Please make sure to study hard and follow the doctor’s commands to contribute to the public. This time, you won’t be competing. Everything will depend on how you communicate with the children. Display your strongest points as much as you like.”

Yan Mu Lin carefully thought about this. Although they were not competing now, the other four voice actors would surely do something. They would showcase their strong points, which were to speak, sing, and act. The director’s mission was actually about this.

Under the program group’s arrangements, the five voice actors were directed to a training room. Their training is very simple. In fact, they only had to be patient. One hour of training passed quickly.

They were trained on how to communicate with the children, how to read the child’s body language, how to react when they harm themselves out of anger, how to protect them from harm, etc. After listening for an hour, Yan Mu Lin did not feel alright. He felt like he could not keep up. As a child, he was not a popular one. He never had memories of communicating harmoniously with his parents, let alone with children. Since he was a homosexual in his previous life, he was too embarrassed to talk to other people. In this life, he was secretly in love with another person.

At the scene, only Tian Zhen Yang, who was a father, was able to relax. The other four unmarried people have been living a life without love. If they were placed in front of bear children, then they could still bear it. However, they were given children with mental problems who could have a breakdown at any time. They had could not think of a method to calm them down. The four truly had their hands tied.

bear children – naughty children; brats.

Even Tao Bai Chen let go of his vigilance against Yan Mu Lin. He placed his chin on Yan Mu Lin’s shoulder and said with a pitiful face: “Yan Mu Lin, you must help me. I am really afraid of children.”

Yan Mu Lin patted his head soothingly, “I don’t know how to handle children too. We are not in a different situation.”

Tao Bai Chen felt more and more awful. All along, he wanted to tell the director that he wanted to withdraw from this project.

Since they’ve come to this, will Director Teng let him quit so easily? He should not even think about it!

Lu Zhong Ting did not have a smile on his face, as if he was not in the mood. Tang Wen Hao looked like he was carrying a burden on his shoulders. Even Tian Zhen Yang was not in a good mood. They only knew where they were and was not aware that their task would be so difficult.

Five doctors–three men and two women–entered the training room after the one hour course. They then drew lots.

Unsurprisingly, everyone wanted to be paired with the female doctors. The image they had of a female doctor was someone who was always gentle and amiable in front of everyone. They would feel better with a female doctor who could guide them at any time. In addition to that, the female doctors did not look too bad.

Of course, her figure is not bad. Cough. That is not the point.

Instead of the actors drawing the lots, it was the doctors who picked from the box that was prepared by the program group.

Following the “Ladies first” principle, the female doctors picked first.

The actors silently prayed: Please let the beautiful doctor choose me!

The first female doctor got Lu Zhong Ting, while the other got Tang Wen Hao.

The remaining three: “……”

Are you all okay?

The male doctor who got Yan Mu Lin’s name was wearing a pair of black rimmed eyeglasses. He looked slightly taciturn and serious.

Just like a headmaster’s clone……

While walking to the treatment room, Yan Mu Lin asked the doctor politely, “Doctor Fang, what child are we going to be responsible for?”

Doctor Fang said with a serious face: “A child suffering from delusional disorder.”

Yan Mu Lin was stunned, “I’m not quite clear with what it means.”

Dr. Fang stood in front of the treatment room’s window. He pointed at a child that had two sticks sticking out of her head. The beautiful child was covering her mouth with her sleeve. He said, “This child has the symptoms of the illness that I was talking about. She said that she is the Madam White Snake who has been imprisoned by Fahai in the Leifeng Pagoda for many years. Every day, she thinks about Xu Xian saving her. Do you believe her?”

Madam White Snake  – The “white snake spirit who has been practicing Taoist magical arts in the hope of becoming an immortal after centuries of training and cultivation” in Legend of the White Snake. She ate the immortality pills (they looked like tangyuan) Xu Xian vomited into the lake.

Yan Mu Lin shook his head with a guilty conscience: “…I don’t believe, hehe.” Even if he did not transmigrate, he would still believe in her!

Dr. Fang pointed to a boy holding a sword and a balloon stick while standing in a chair, “Everyday, this child says that he is Tang Dynasty’s Crown Prince. Do you believe him?”

Yan Mu Lin continued to say with a guilty conscience: “…I don’t believe.” Even if he did not transmigrate, he would still believe in him!

Dr. Fang sighed: “Do you see that little bun crouching in the corner? He said that he is a big white radish. Oh no, he said that he is a thousand-year ginseng who is about to have a human form.” Even if he did not transmigrate, he would still believe in him!

about to have a human form – Plants, animals, and even nonliving things that are affected by sun or moon essence would be able to have a human appearance or gain intelligence. This is similar to when humans turn into immortals owo. The process is called 成精.

Hey, little kid, you aren’t allowed to turn into a human after the founding of the country……

Yan Mu Lin said with a guilty conscience: “…Hehe.” In the case that I say that I am a transmigrator, then wouldn’t I be diagnosed with delusional disorder too?

However, I really am a transmigrator!
