Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 236: Background Cannon Fodder Who Died an Unexpected Death (16)
"I've seen many doctors, but it's no use." Zhao Yicheng frowned. When he talked about the failed insomnia treatment, he had a gloomy and depressed tone, and seemed a little impatient. Lin Shichu wanted to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows with his hands. How could such a handsome man be troubled by insomnia?
"If I have a way to cure your insomnia, would you believe it?" Lin Shichu asked him.
Zhao Yicheng rubbed his brows and looked at her doubtfully. His beautiful eyes were clearly filled with curiosity and expectation, yet they seemed to have a tender glow of their own. People who were looked at by his eyes were most easily confused.
"Are you... a doctor? A psychologist?" Zhao Yicheng asked.
"No, but I have learned to make incense before, and I have some knowledge of medicine and psychology. Maybe a combination of these aspects can be effective for your insomnia? Are you willing to let me try?" Lin Shichu asked very sincerely, wondering if this counts as practicing medicine without a license?
"Of course, don't worry, I won't use anything harmful on you, nor will I prescribe medicine for you. At most I'll let you eat some medicated food, how about that?" Lin Shichu continued to explain.
She didn't actually hold out much hope. After all, she felt that her words were full of lies. A cautious and intelligent person like Zhao Yicheng wouldn't believe her...
Lin Shichu sighed and was about to give up this method of getting close to Zhao Yichen.
"Okay." Zhao Yichen replied in a low, magnetic voice.
"What? You agree?" Lin Shichu widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't expect that Zhao Yicheng would agree to her proposal which sounded unreliable. It was really beyond her expectations.
Seeing her so surprised, as if she couldn't believe it, Zhao Yicheng couldn't help but curl his lips and said with a smile: "Why, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
"Of course! It's just that I didn't expect you to trust me so much." Lin Shichu said honestly.
"I've tried too many ways and all failed, so I thought I'd give it a try. Anyway, you won't harm me, right?" Zhao Yicheng looked at her seriously.
In fact, he himself didn't know why he felt that Lin Shichu could really cure his insomnia, and he believed it for no reason. He had been disappointed too many times before, and had mostly been negative about subsequent treatments, without any hope at all, but this time, he intuitively felt that Lin Shichu was really the person who could save him from the torment of insomnia.
"Of course, how could I possibly harm you? I'm afraid your nearly 100 million fans would tear me apart." Lin Shichu quickly replied, and then became a little annoyed, "I haven't been in the capital recently, so I can't start treating you."
"I've taken on a role in a play that will be filmed in Yucheng," Zhao Yichen said immediately.
"That's great, I'll wait for you to come to Yucheng!" Lin Shichu smiled with curved eyebrows. As long as he arrived in Yucheng, how could he escape from her palm?
After ending the video call with Zhao Yicheng, Lin Shichu hummed a song when he went to the hospital to see Lin Shiyu.
"Sister, you look so happy. What good thing happened?" Lin Shiyu asked slowly, word by word, looking at Lin Shichu with gentle eyes.
He can now stand for several minutes with the help of a support device. His hair has grown a lot longer, covering the scars on his scalp. His complexion has gradually become rosy and he has regained some of his handsomeness.
"A friend will come to Yucheng to visit me soon." Lin Shichu said with a smile.
"What friends? Male or female?" Father Lin at the side immediately asked sharply.
"Male." Lin Shichu did not hide this.
When Father Lin and Lin Shiyu heard this, they were immediately shocked. After looking at each other, Father Lin spoke: "Male? Who is he? What's his name? How old is he? What does his family do? What is his occupation? How long have you known each other?"
Lin Shichu stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "Dad, you don't have to be so sensitive. Check him like you check his household registration, right?"
"Why not? What if he is a liar and cheated you? Dad has to keep an eye on you." Father Lin argued.
"What do you mean by censorship? Dad, have you forgotten that I'm not three years old, nor thirteen, but twenty-four years old, and I'm in charge of a company. It's not easy for others to deceive me. I have the ability to distinguish..." Lin Shichu said with a smile.
"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in your father's eyes. Isn't it normal to know about your child's friendships? Don't beat around the bush and answer my questions honestly." Lin's father did not give in.
Lin Shichu could only answer helplessly: "His name is Zhao Yicheng, he's an actor, quite famous. What does his family do? I don't know. How old is he? About 27 or 28? We've known each other for a few months. We met when I was on a business trip in the capital last time."
"Zhao Yicheng? This name sounds familiar..." Father Lin muttered, and then suddenly realized, "Zhao Yicheng, isn't he the Major General Cao Wenrui? Your mother used to like him very much, and he has acted in many movies. I didn't expect that you, my daughter, knew him!"
Father Lin thought of his late wife's admiration for Zhao Yicheng, and the rejection and worry in his heart immediately disappeared a lot, and he became happy instead: "Zhao Yicheng is your friend? Then ask him for an autograph, I will burn it for your mother, your mother will be very happy..."
"Okay." Lin Shichu agreed immediately.
Lin Shiyu was not as easy to deal with as his father. He frowned and said slowly, "Many actors...are just gilded on the outside but rotten on the inside...They fool little girls and they always fool them!"
"Brother, what could he cheat me of? Cheating me for my sex? With his one-in-a-million looks, it's hard to say who will suffer between him and me; cheating me for my money? He is a famous actor, making tens of millions for one movie, while the profit from my hard work running the company in a year may not be as much as what he pays for one movie; cheating me for my feelings? Don't worry, brother, I am just attracted by his figure and appearance, he looks very much in line with my aesthetic requirements. Of course, I am talking about him now, if he becomes ugly in the future, I will definitely not want him." Lin Shichu said very frankly.
After hearing what she said, Father Lin and Brother Lin didn't know whether to worry about their daughter|sister or sympathize with Zhao Yicheng. It was not known whether Zhao Yicheng was a scumbag or not, but their daughter|sister now clearly had some tendencies towards being a scumbag.
Father Lin advised her with difficulty: "My dear daughter, we can't be too bad. It's not good to play with feelings... and appearance and figure are not the most important. A person's character is. Are you focusing on the wrong thing?"
"That's right, Dad. Character is important, but figure and appearance are also indispensable. If she only has character but no appearance, I can't like her. I can't control my heart..." Lin Shichu said with a sigh.
Father Lin: ...
