Dreams were beautiful. Reality was rather empty.
Little Angel wished she could spread her wings and fly. Ye Ling could not move, and he needed to rest, so everyone was waiting for him to be able to sit up. Zhong Ran and Ah Da were injured too. The house was filled with injured men, and Shen Qianshu could only brush everything else off and allow them to recuperate.
Lin Xiaojuan phoned them. “I heard that something happened at your side. How are you? Haven’t heard from you in days. Are you and Tong Hua okay?”
“We’re fine. The thing occurred at another place. Don’t worry, we will be back in a few days,” Shen Qianshu said lightly. She always shared happy things and not unhappy things. “How are things going between you and Movie King?”
“Why are you still such a gossip queen when you are abroad?”
“Gossip is my source of life.”
“Isn’t your source of life Ye Ling?”
“We can’t communicate in peace anymore.”
Lin Xiaojuan smiled. “Things must be chaotic there. Return soon. Baby didn’t take any photos or go on live-stream this time. It’s odd. What has he been doing? He needs to remember that he is a child star. Take more pictures of him and send them to me. I’ll make some news out of it.
“Right, take more videos of him doing charity. Isn’t the income gap huge there? Make a video like this, and it’ll be good publicity. It’ll help to give him an angelic persona in the future when I want to.”
“That’s a little hard.” Shen Qianshu replied.
Honestly speaking, this was a show.
Being a celebrity and putting on a show was no big deal, but Shen Qianshu was hesitant, and Tong Hua might not agree to it too.
“I’ll tell him later, but I doubt he would agree,” Shen Qianshu said.
“Then forget it.”
Lin Xiaojuan said, “Then take some random photos of him. Make him look cute.”
“Sure!”
After that, things were peaceful for a few days.
Black Rose did not send any messages forward on wanting to meet Ye Ling, and everything was peaceful. Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua went to visit some attractions under the protection of Gulas. She took some photos of him and sent the pictures to Lin Xiaojuan. As for the video, Tong Hua had indeed refused to cooperate. Shen Qianshu did not wish to force him to either. Tong Hua remembered the youth in the hospital. “Gulas, has he recovered?”
“The hospital called and informed me that he has been discharged.”
“Discharged?”
“Yeah!” Gulas said. “They said that the bullets had been removed. It did not hurt his bones, just his skin. It doesn’t affect him, and it’ll be fine in a few days. He did not want to waste money by being hospitalized.”
“Aren’t we paying?”
“Yeah, we paid.”
“He doesn’t need to pay, so what is he afraid of?” Tong Hua could not understand, but he did not take it to heart. In the evening, Zhong Ran noticed a mysterious boy lurking near their courtyard, and he caught him. The boy’s legs had not recovered, and he could not run. He was rather aggressive.
“Why are you here again?” Zhong Ran did not know what to do. This boy was small, and he did not have great strength. He wore clothes of a patient, and they seemed better than the torn ones he had before. The nurses had cleaned him up, and he did not look as miserable as before.
Tong Hua looked at him curiously. His legs were still bandaged, and he did not seem to be in a good state.
“Doesn’t it hurt?” Tong Hua asked.
The youth bit his lip and did not speak for some time. After a while, he finally blurted out. “Thank you!”
He did not know why the youth had thanked him.
Tong Hua said, “You’re welcome!”
