Dekang Private Hospital.
Bai Ruanruan's originally pretty face was swollen, and her arm was in a cast due to a fracture caused by the shoving.
The doctor made his rounds as usual, and a passing nurse, seeing his pitiful state, offered him a few words of comfort.
Bai Ruanruan sobbed, but after everyone disappeared, she quickly opened Weibo and burst out laughing.
In just a few days, he has gained over ten million followers!
Zheng Ming said that he is the celebrity who has gained the most fans in the past two years, and his future is promising; he is bound to become a big star!
Bai Ruanruan is indeed a born leading lady, destined to be a big star!
The photos of his injuries that he arranged to be released were quite effective. Those who had initially attacked him because of his relationship with Xi Juan now felt sorry for him and many of them were comforting him.
He hired an online army of trolls; whenever someone made sarcastic or sarcastic remarks about him, this group would swarm him and verbally attack him until he couldn't open his eyes.
In just a few days, Xi Juan went from a top-notch actor with impeccable credentials to a sleazy man who openly indulged in niche hobbies. Under the guidance of his rivals, some even suspected that his sponsored projects had ulterior motives and that he was involved in pimping.
Even the authorities have launched an investigation into his charity projects. Although an accident happened this afternoon, and Xi Juan somehow regained consciousness and beat him up, Bai Ruanruan took this opportunity to purify the CP fans and even used photos of herself injured to torment a wave of fans.
Who would have thought that just half a month ago, Xi Juan was so high and mighty, but now he has become a complete domestic abuser and a heartless man, and has been nailed to the pillar of shame!
Bai Ruanruan was laughing while holding her phone when the nerves on her face, which had been throbbing with pain, suddenly tensed up, Bai Ruanruan let out a scream.
"087, is it time? Heal my wounds quickly!"
He didn't know when it started, but the system he was bound to, which was already useless to begin with, became increasingly silent, and its presence became less and less noticeable.
"You're in the hospital, your injuries are documented, and a sudden improvement would arouse suspicion."
Bai Ruanruan was in a good mood right now and didn't bother arguing with him.
"Then please help me relieve the pain first, and then help the injury on my face heal quickly. I'm the most popular star right now, and this face of mine is meant to attract fans!"
"As for the other fractures, you can handle them as you see fit. Don't let them heal too quickly; just make it seem like you're healing faster than others. That way, the doctor will only think I have a good constitution and recover quickly, and won't think anything of it."
The data block in his mind fluctuated a few times, and 087 did as instructed.
The pain in his body suddenly disappeared, and Bai Ruanruan felt refreshed. He looked at the number of fans that kept rising, raised his arm, and the end of the device connected to the back of his hand moved accordingly.
"This is the kind of life a human being should live!"
Unbeknownst to him, a screen nearby lit up, transmitting numerical values written in some kind of code to the hospital's processor terminal.
The torrential rain pounded against the fallen leaves, and mud, along with the rainwater, flowed into the sewers.
A Rolls-Royce of considerable value sped past in the late autumn night rain. A cell phone inside the car lit up, and Huo Yuzhou glanced at the message on it, a slight smile playing on his crimson lips.
Nan Qing was leaning back playing a game when, in a moment, he suddenly looked up at Huo Yuzhou, blinked, and...
" Huo Yuzhou, the way you laugh, you really don't look like a good person!"
Huo Yuzhou raised his hand and patted his head.
What does that look like?
Nan Qing: "Like a treacherous and cunning old fox, smiling on the surface but actually sharpening its teeth and claws."
Huo Yuzhou chuckled, "Not necessarily."
"Or perhaps it's an old fox who's dug a trap, waiting for some naive and ignorant little rabbit to jump in."
Nan Qing scoffed and continued playing the game.
The phone buzzed twice; it was from Gu Xingchen.
Gu Xingchen: Xi Juan asked me for help, and I gave him some assistance.
Gu Xingchen: Bai Ruanruan's idiot test results are in. Within 5 minutes of the doctor finishing rounds, she showed abnormal hyperesthesia, with little pain response and a bizarre recovery speed.
Gu Xingchen: You were right, my brother, he really does get it once a month, it's probably automatically refreshed!
Gu Xingchen: "His vixen tricks aren't as mysterious as they seem. The fact that Xi Juan recovered after obvious nerve inhibition proves that there's a threshold to the effect. And so far, I haven't been affected by him again. I didn't react when he tried to seduce you, which proves that his vixen tricks don't work on everyone, and even if they did, they could be controlled with medication."
Gu Xingchen: This little idiot's skills are all he has, and they've all been exposed. He's at his wit's end.
Gu Xingchen: What a long show! How do we play it next?
Huo Yuzhou's handsome and refined face was reflected on the screen. He seemed to be reading a financial newspaper. His sharply defined features flickered in the night rain and under the streetlights outside the window, and even the smile on his lips carried a certain sharpness.
"Using waste, discarding the donkey after it has served its purpose."
A loud rumble sounded outside the window, followed by lightning and thunder.
The pitch-black sky was instantly ignited, and a small figure who was playing a game shrank closer to him, still muttering:
"I'm speechless! Why is even a mini-boss so hard to beat? I've used all my ultimate skills and it's not even losing any health."
Huo Yuzhou turned off his phone and gently kissed the hair of the person in his arms.
Having lost another game, Nan Qing angrily turned off her phone and loudly complained.
I really shouldn't have played games today!
" Huo Yuzhou, this game's matchmaking system is completely unfair. It's designed to make me lose repeatedly. Can you acquire this game company and then give me a super, super, super VIP account?"
Huo Yuzhou smiled and lowered his head. "Okay."
"I can also acquire this game company and then give you an internal account, making you a super super super VIP."
Another thunderous roar echoed across the horizon, and lightning illuminated the entire night sky.
Nan Qing blinked quickly. Huo Yuzhou covered his ears with both hands to block out the thunder outside the window, and then leaned over to kiss his eyes.
Their hot breaths mingled, and the heat brushing against their faces brought a certain itch.
Even my heart felt like it had been gently tapped, a burning sensation spreading through it, as if something had broken through the crack in my heart, revealing a trace that no one else could see.
Unable to resist Huo Yuzhou's affectionate eyes, Nan Qing quickly turned his head away and spoke in a soft voice.
" Huo Yuzhou, I'm being unreasonable, you don't need to coax me."
A soft chuckle drifted through the air. The man's long, slender fingers cupped his face, then he turned back to him, leaning in to kiss his lips.
"It's not just being unreasonable."
His warm breath landed on those soft lips; Huo Yuzhou's voice was gentle and low.
" Baby, whatever you do, there must be a reason behind it."
Nan Qing's heart felt like it had been struck by a gust of wind; her eyes were filled with panic.
" Huo Yuzhou, don't always be so good to me."
He received a gentle kiss on the tip of his nose, and Huo Yuzhou asked him in a good-natured manner why.
She seemed somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, or perhaps found it difficult to speak out.
Nan Qing was reluctant to admit it, but with his cheeks cupped in Huo Yuzhou's hands, Huo Yuzhou would kiss him reluctantly every now and then.
It was as if he were some lost treasure found again, or some priceless pearl, held so carefully in the palm of one's hand.
Her thick, curled eyelashes trembled. Nan Qing lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him. Mustering her courage, she spoke softly.
"Because of this, I can't help but like you..."
