Fang Shaoyi pointed Yuan Ye out to the set designer. He didn’t dare to say anything about this matter. He was also too lazy to bother dealing with it. Thus, he directly pushed it onto Yuan Ye. He told the set designer, “I don’t make the decisions.”

Yuan Ye threw a napkin onto Fang Shaoyi’s lap and said, “We’re not going to make things especially difficult or try to take revenge. We’re just going to do things the way they should be done. We won’t ask for compensation. He wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation anyways. If he deserves to be convicted, he’ll need to be convicted. If he deserves to go to jail, he needs to go to jail. Nobody’s going to make sure he gets a heavy sentence or anything like that. He can also hire his own lawyer to try and reduce the sentence. Whatever the judge decides is what he needs to accept. That’s it.” Edm9Gd

The set designer was honestly too ashamed to say anything else. Though Fang Shaoyi had a great relationship with the film crew, it was also true that he had almost died because of that driver’s bad decisions. Who could provide the compensation for Fang Shaoyi’s life? And this was considering the fact that he was still alive right now. But even though he was alive, that was at the cost of cutting off almost half a lobe of lung and spending several months in rehabilitation.

Yuan Ye added, “Even if we didn’t want to hold him accountable, we’d be acting lenient, but Geng ge at the company wouldn’t let things slide so easily. As a person, he’s……he has dark methods, Teacher Xue. Let things be the way they ought to be.”

The set designer had originally only wanted to try his luck anyways. He hadn’t even been shameless enough to make much of an argument. In actuality, he was really angry about this incident too. He’d been holding his anger in these past couple of days, which had been quite painful. But ultimately, that was someone who had worked with him for so many years. At the end of the day, he couldn’t bear to be so heartless. He decided to try and help the other just once. If things went well, that would be great. If not, the other deserved whatever punishment he was doled. Right now, he was even sighing in relief before Yuan Ye was. He felt a slight sense of catharsis.

In actuality, Yuan Ye honestly couldn’t find it in himself to be forgiving regarding this incident. He wasn’t a bad person. Faced with questions of principle, he could retain kindness in his heart. However, he definitely wasn’t a saint either. From the accident until now, Yuan Ye hadn’t even seen that driver once. It was possible that he would feel murderous if he did see him, especially if he had seen him during the period of time where Fang Shaoyi had still been in the ICU and it had been uncertain whether he would survive or not. Accidents were truly unpredictable, but this accident clearly could’ve been avoided. One needed to pay for their mistakes. There was no such thing as an easy solution – they couldn’t count on the victims to not press charges or for forgiveness. Nr32Q7

Later, when the set designer had already left, Yuan Ye asked Fang Shaoyi, “What do you think?”

Fang Shaoyi had just finished eating his fruit. He handed the bowl over to Yuan Ye; he was a bit tired from eating. After catching his breath, he said, “I think that everything you said was right.”

“I bet that if things were up to you, you’d probably forgive him, right?” Yuan Ye asked while looking at Fang Shaoyi.

Fang Shaoyi truly wasn’t the vengeful type. However, he shook his head. Yuan Ye cocked an eyebrow. Fang Shaoyi’s expression was somewhat solemn. He stared into Yuan Ye’s eyes and said, “If I had only broken a collarbone this time, I might’ve forgiven him.” ZE5CmB

Yuan Ye kind of wanted to laugh now. He asked, “No forgiveness because your injuries were too severe?”

“Un

Fang Shaoyi stole an earphone from him and put it into his own ear to listen. The sounds of a heated argument could be heard. He returned the earphone to Yuan Ye and pulled him back into their own room.

Yuan Ye coaxed this giant manchild who was acting like he was under the age of ten back into bed. He sat next to him, legs crossed as he listened to his phone. Fang Shaoyi lifted up Yuan Ye’s pajama top and rested his hand on the other’s stomach. Yuan Ye glanced at him, but didn’t treat this as a big deal. He stroked Fang Shaoyi’s hand through the shirt. Fang Shaoyi’s brows were still furrowed. He closed his eyes and muttered, “I had a dream and when I woke up, I couldn’t find you. I felt panicked.”

Yuan Ye didn’t have a temper anymore because of how Fang Shaoyi acted daily. He occasionally would even feel pained and acquiescent. It was always a lot more effective when Fang Shaoyi said such things as compared to other people. Yuan Ye’s heart softened considerably because of his complaint. He placed his hand on Fang Shaoyi’s ear and squeezed it. While covering up his earphones’ microphone, he kissed the other on the forehead and very quietly placated, “Okay, stop acting pitiful. Sleep.”

Fang Shaoyi was still dissatisfied and unhappy. “My lungs……” FXv8Vr

Yuan Ye immediately cut him off. “I know. Your lungs hurt.”
