Chapter 10: Brought a gift for Yilan baby

“Hi, Yi Lan!” Jiang Wenting waved with a smile, greeting her. The mole at the corner of her eye was lively and vivid.

Yi Lan was stunned for several seconds before she reacted.

Jiang Wenting moved the phone a little further away, revealing the sky and background behind her.

“Look, I’m waiting in line for my makeup. There are so many people!”

Yi Lan immediately looked over and saw the infinitely small pedestrians on the screen, walking around unsteadily.

Jiang Wenting brought the phone closer again, and her face blocked the pedestrians.

“The IV drip will be over in a while. Just bear with it. If you want to drink water, tell Xiao Ru, okay?” Jiang Wenting instructed.

It was obvious that everything on her side could also be seen here, through this thing called a “phone.”

What exactly was this thing?

So powerful?

When sending military intelligence, it required a fast horse for dozens of days, and even with a pigeon, it would take several hours to fly.

This thing could actually penetrate in a second, presenting each other’s activities in vivid detail…

“Yi Lan?” Jiang Wenting called out again, seeing her absent-minded look.

Yi Lan’s thoughts were pulled back, and she glanced at Jiang Wenting.

Jiang Wenting asked again, “Did you hear what I just said? If you want to drink water or go to the bathroom, you have to tell Xiao Ru. After the IV drip is done, remember to eat something!”

Yi Lan: ‘She didn’t want to eat food given by others, even if she starved or died of thirst!’

Seeing her silence, Jiang Wenting repeated, “Did you hear me? Open your mouth and let me see if the blisters inside have gone down?”

Yi Lan didn’t speak or acknowledge her.

As they looked at each other, someone behind her called out, “Teacher Jiang, it’s your turn!”

The previous makeup session had ended early, and the makeup artist called for Jiang Wenting to come in.

Jiang Wenting answered, “Coming right away,” but didn’t immediately hang up the video call.

“Quick, let me see. I’ll go get my makeup done after I see. They’re rushing me, it’s not good to be late.” she urged.

Seeing her anxious look, Yi Lan hesitated for half a second, then slightly opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue a little.

The white blisters on her tongue had gone down a lot.

Jiang Wenting nodded in satisfaction.

“Mmm, you’re recovering quite well. Let Xiao Ru spray some more medicine for you. By the time I’m done filming and come back, you should be almost better. I’ll bring you something delicious then!”

Just as she finished speaking, before the other person could respond, someone over there called out “Teacher Jiang” again.

“Hey, coming!” Jiang Wenting answered in the gap and said to Yi Lan on the screen, “Then I’ll hang up first. See you tonight, bye!”

After speaking, before Yi Lan could react, the video call was ended.

She stared silently at the disappearing image on the screen.

Seeing this, Xiao Ru snatched the phone away.

“The call’s already ended, what are you still looking at? You’re such a fool!”

Yi Lan didn’t want to bother with her.

She put her free hand into the blanket and closed her eyes to sleep.

It was almost evening when Jiang Wenting finished filming.

The male actor she was working with was late and wasn’t in the right state of mind during the shoot.

A simple scene had to be filmed several times.

She was repeatedly hoisted up and down on wires, and her lunch was also a makeshift one.

By the end of the afternoon, she was about to collapse from exhaustion.

As soon as she got to the changing room and took out her phone from the locker, she saw several missed calls.

Xiao Ru had asked if she was almost done filming and when she would be back.

There were also a few missed calls from Beiye Xingchen.

Seeing that Jiang Wenting hadn’t answered, she had sent a message asking what she was doing and why she wasn’t answering her phone.

Jiang Wenting first replied to Xiao Ru’s message, briefly explaining the filming situation and saying she would be back soon.

Only then did she call Beiye Xingchen back.

Beiye Xingchen was her best friend.

They had grown up together and were closer than sisters.

As soon as Jiang Wenting dialed the video call, the other person answered.

A pair of clear and bright puppy eyes saw Jiang Wenting and smiled like a child.

“Jiang Jiang, why did you take on another script? Didn’t you say you were going to take a break and rest for a while after the Flower Goddess?”

Jiang Wenting: “No, it’s still that scene from the Flower Goddess. There was a little accident during the previous shoot, so we re-shot it today.”

Beiye Xingchen said “ah” and asked, “What happened? That level of scene should be something you can film with your eyes closed. Was there a problem with your co-star?”

“No,” Jiang Wenting explained with a smile, a hint of pride unconsciously appearing in her eyes.

“It was a ‘fan’ of mine. She rode a horse onto the set, intercepted the male lead’s jade sword with a long spear, and saved me from him. I didn’t die.”

The other person said “ah” again, with an incredulous look.

“The management at your filming location is so strict. How did a fan ride a horse in? Jiang Jiang, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

Jiang Wenting shook her head with a smile.

“It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you later. Right now, the ‘fan’ who saved me is in the hospital. I have to go back and take care of her first.”

Beiye Xingchen was completely confused and held onto her phone, refusing to hang up.

Jiang Wenting was in a hurry to go back and said, “Beiye, let me get ready first. I’ll tell you the details on the way back, okay?”

The other person said “okay” and hung up, suppressing her strong curiosity.

At the end, she added, “Jiang Jiang, you have to call me back later!”

Jiang Wenting smiled, “Alright, I’ll call you back later.”

After hanging up, Jiang Wenting quickly removed her makeup and changed her clothes, getting ready in just a few minutes.

On the way back, she told Beiye the details of the whole mix-up from that day.

The other person was completely stunned after hearing it and even asked Jiang Wenting if the female general with the long spear had really transmigrated from ancient times.

Beiye was someone with an extremely active imagination.

She usually read a lot of novels and would occasionally say things that were simply impossible in the real world.

Jiang Wenting was used to it.

They chatted intermittently for a few more minutes before the other person remembered that Jiang Wenting’s 28th birthday was coming up.

She had originally called her to ask if Jiang Wenting had any plans recently.

If not, she wanted to invite her to her place for her birthday.

But in the current situation, it was basically impossible.

“Jiang Jiang, then on your birthday, can I come to the hospital to see you and bring you a cake?” Beiye asked.

They were on the phone, and the other person’s voice was very sweet.

Through her earphones, Jiang Wenting could feel that this person must be smiling with a “sincere” face right now.

It was true that she wanted to bring her a birthday cake and see her at the hospital, but it was also true that she was eager to see the “transmigrated from ancient times” fan with her own eyes.

“Alright!” Jiang Wenting chuckled, with an expression of seeing through it but not exposing it.

“Then thank you in advance!”

The other side: “You’re welcome, Jiang Jiang. I’ll have my wife buy me a ticket right now!”

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Jiang Wenting drove on with a mouthful of dog food, preparing to go to the food street to get some takeout.

While waiting at a red light, she suddenly remembered something very important.

So, she opened her navigation, searched for nearby places, and switched her route.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a mobile phone store.

She put on a mask and sunglasses, fully armed herself, and went into the store with her bag.

When she was talking to Yi Lan this afternoon, she had thought about getting her a phone as well and then getting a secondary card with her own number so that she could video call her directly when she was away.

After two days of getting along, Jiang Wenting found that Yi Lan was not stupid at all.

She just had the aura of an ancient person, as if she had really transmigrated from ancient times like Beiye had said.

Many things that made her look very confused, as long as she explained them a little, the other person would immediately understand what she meant.

Although Jiang Wenting didn’t believe in transmigrators in this world at all, she no longer saw Yi Lan as an ordinary mental patient.

“Ma’am, what do you think of this model? If it’s okay, I can activate it for you on the spot?”

“Yes, that’s fine. This one,” Jiang Wenting’s slender fingertips swiped left and right on the demo phone, glanced at the model and configuration.

“Please get me the top configuration in graphite gray, activate the system, and then get a secondary card to put in.”

“Okay, ma’am! The top configuration in graphite gray, right? Please have a seat and drink some water. I’ll get it ready for you right away!”

“Thank you!”

Jiang Wenting was heavily armed throughout the process.

Only when she was getting the secondary card did the clerk exclaim in surprise, “Jiang…”

“Shh!” Her slender fingertips rose, making a shushing gesture.

The female clerk covered her mouth, her hands trembling with excitement.

She looked up at Jiang Wenting several times while operating.

Jiang Wenting smiled at her, her eyes crinkling, the mole at the corner of her eye gentle and charming.

After the clerk had finished everything, a signature bill appeared at the checkout counter.

“Ma’am, please check the bill. If there are no problems, please sign your name. Also, could you…”

She smiled and pushed over a notebook, opening it.

Jiang Wenting nodded, signed the bill with a few quick strokes, then wrote her name on the blank page of the notebook, along with a blessing.

The female clerk was overjoyed beyond words.

When she handed over the phone gift box, she also threw in the White Rabbit milk candy from her workstation.

“Ma’am, please take care. Welcome back next time!”

Jiang Wenting waved with a smile, walked out of the store with the gift box, and after getting into the car, she reached into the bag, took out the candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.

The sweet milky flavor melted on her tongue.

She smoothed out the candy wrapper, put it in the drawer, started the car, and drove towards the food court.

…

Forty minutes later, there was a knock on the ward door.

Jiang Wenting squeezed in through the gap with large and small bags.

“My two little fairies, I’m back!”

The familiar voice reached Yi Lan’s ears.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

Xiao Ru helped Jiang Wenting with her things, complaining as she did so.

“Jiang Wenting, you even went all the way to the food court to buy her food. You’re such a saint!”

Jiang Wenting weighed another bag in her hand.

“Didn’t I also buy your favorite pig’s feet and chicken feet?”

Seeing the store name on the packaging, Xiao Ru rarely made a fuss again and started unpacking the food in the bag herself.

Jiang Wenting walked towards the hospital bed with the phone gift box.

“Baby Yi Lan, look, I brought you a gift! Do you like it?”
