misty

Scarlet clouds slowly gathered, and the beautiful weather with bright moon and sparse stars suddenly began to rain coldly.

When Kinsley was awakened by the thunder, a trace of memory from the dream he had just had remained in his mind.

It’s a very nice dream.

So much so that when he vaguely felt someone sitting down on the sofa where he was lying, he didn't have any big reaction, but was only filled with joy and anticipation.

Then, the hand at his side was held, the soft body pressed against his chest, and his chin was gently stroked.

“Yanyan…”

Kinsley called out softly, rubbed the hand on his cheek in a somewhat dependent manner, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His throat was aching from overuse from practicing singing too much recently, and he didn't know if he had actually heard the name.

In the few seconds of distraction, the hands continued to move, stroking from the open collar, over the neck, collarbone, passing through the bandages wrapped around the wounds on the upper body and all the way down...

The nails hit the belt buckle, making a crisp sound...

The next second, Kinsley suddenly stood up and pushed the person in his arms away.

There was a dull thud as the flesh fell to the ground, and one could imagine how much effort was used.

He shook his head, trying to dispel the fog in front of him. After seeing who it was, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore due to the combination of disappointment and irritability after working so hard for so many days.

"Xin Yuqing! What are you doing!?"

——When did he fall asleep?

——How did Xin Yuqing get in?

"Tanaka! Get in here!"

At this moment, Xin Yuqing, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to breathe.

The Kinsley in front of her was not the one she was familiar with.

There are many people in Kinsley's team, but she is probably the only one who can see the subtle determination and coldness beneath his free and bright appearance over the years. The longer she accompanies him, the more she becomes addicted to this unpredictable nature.

The relationship between the two has always been smooth and pleasant. She is naturally happy with Kinsley's trust in her in work and life, but inevitably, she wants to get closer. She wants to accept and comfort Kinsley's truest emotions, all the pain and joy.

Now, she saw it.

But I never thought that Kinsley would reject me so ruthlessly after mustering all my courage and efforts.

The door of the kitchen in the Hong Kong Coliseum lounge was opened. At that moment, her pride and self-esteem were reawakened. She could not accept herself appearing in front of anyone other than Kinsley, so she stood up with great pain.

"Sir... Oh my God, what's going on? I was just preparing breakfast for you..."

Tanaka, who sensed something was wrong, hurried over, but the owner, who was obviously still angry, frowned at him for a while, held his forehead, staggered a few steps and almost fell.

"Master, be careful!"

One of the bodyguards guarding outside seemed to react just now, and hurriedly rushed in and happened to help the owner.

The situation was clear. It seemed that Tanaka had finally learned his lesson and knew to arrange other people to keep an eye on the situation. However, this was during the concert period after all, and the bodyguards did not include the female agent who often went in and out of the Hong Kong Coliseum in the list of "No one is allowed to enter the young master's lounge."

Kinsley took a while to regain his composure. Facing the innocent-looking butler, he simply wanted to beat him up.

He hadn't counted the number of times he'd suspected Tanaka of doing it on purpose. Last time it was Xu Lanxi, this time it was Xin Yuqing. He wondered if Tanaka was going to kill him in his sleep if he was a little careless next time.

"If you don't want to do this anymore, get out!"

This roar frightened everyone present. Xin Yuqing even wondered if he was speaking to her as well...

Tanaka didn't dare to continue to offend, and quickly tried to find a way to distract the attention. While apologizing, he and the bodyguards escorted the host out.

"Sir... Sir, calm down... It's my fault. I promise there won't be a next time... Oh, please go to the front and take a look. The lighting isn't very good. It's really worrying them..."

——This is the most important thing at the moment.

When they arrived at the lighting console, the entire venue was empty. Tanaka called up the single that had troubled the big star for days - "Refrain", and then skillfully turned on the audio sensors, light strips, follow lights, smoke machines, etc., and presented the complete stage effect as if holding a surprise.

This is one of Kinsley's few slow songs.

A low and soft voice began to echo in the drizzle, with warm gold, pink and light blue flowing alternately, as if the setting sun was shining on the sea;

As the melody unfolded, the light and shadow became more intense, and the brightness of the lights was slightly adjusted with each period of the lyrics, like Kinsley whispering softly, and every warm touch left in the air, a light mist was looming in the light.

In the shadows of the corner, even Xin Yuqing was keenly aware of the obvious difference in lighting effects compared to the past few days, not to mention the tenderness that appeared on Kinsley's face not far away, replacing his previous anger and resistance.

Soon, the song came to an end, and she watched Kinsley return to normal and stare at Tanaka, as if waiting for him to confess what was going on.

But before curiosity was satisfied, the phone suddenly rang and the topic was interrupted.

"Sir, the second lady is looking for you."

Kinsley took over:

"Sister, what's going on—"

Before he could even finish the sentence, his expression changed.

"Tanaka! Prepare the car!"

…

The car was almost driving on the speeding line, but even so, Tanaka could see that someone in the back seat still thought it was too slow, and the hand holding the communicator was shaking with panic.

The call was hung up quickly, but it was not difficult to guess who was in trouble that could make Kinsley lose his composure like this.

It was already 6 o'clock in the morning, and there were more guests and staff in the hotel. Everyone saw a young man with a slender and well-proportioned figure, dressed simply but unpretentiously, rushing into the lobby on the first floor, followed by a group of serious-looking bodyguards.

Before the elevator closed, someone with a keen eye caught a glimpse of that handsome face, unobstructed and without any makeup, and belatedly cried out in surprise.

"Isn't that... the top star who's going to hold a con here soon..."

"Oh, god! Kinsley! For real!"

"This is the first time I've seen Kinsley so anxious... What happened? Yeah, check the fan group. Is there any news?"

Tanaka, who followed him into the elevator, did not dare to say anything to comfort him. After thinking about it, he quickly contacted the relevant people to prevent this matter from becoming a hot topic again.

When they arrived at the suite, Miss Chu Xin was still there, and his master only had time to give her a breezy hug before all his attention was drawn away by the weak figure on the bed in the inner room.

"Yanyan...Yanyan is me...I'm here..."

Everything else no longer mattered. Kinsley wanted to kill himself when he touched the fair face he had been longing for. The scorching temperature made him panic so much that he completely lost his strength and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Are you sick... What happened... Yanyan, please wake up and don't scare me..."

"I've checked Qingyan. She must have caught a cold from being too tired and exposed to the cold wind for so long... Also... her wound seems to be there for a long time and there are signs of inflammation—"

"Injured? What kind of injury? Sister, are you talking about Yanyan being injured?"

Chen Chuxuan watched his brother frantically unbuttoning his pajamas and wanted to stop him, but in the end he could only remind him, "Be gentle on your left shoulder." However...

"Ayin, don't you know why Qingyan was injured?"

After Qing Yan inexplicably fainted, she immediately asked people to find nano inspection and repair equipment and some spare medicine for emergency treatment, but -

Even with her top-notch knowledge, she couldn't understand why the nanorobots, which can now effectively heal wounds and enter the human body to eliminate inflammation, had no effect on Qingyan.

The holographic image showed that not a single cell was repaired, and all the drugs and nanorobots that entered Qingyan's body were metabolized at an extremely fast rate, which was also the main reason for the current high body temperature.

No wonder Qingyan refused to use nano-devices to treat her from the beginning because he knew it was useless.

And now is not a good time to argue with my brother about the source of the wound.

"Ayin, calm down and listen to me! From what I've seen, ordinary methods can't help Qingyan, so I need you to think about whether there is another way... Qingyan must have had a fever when she was a child, right? Do you remember how you solved it?"

When she said this, she saw that her brother's frown was finally beginning to relax.

"Tanaka! Go to the bathroom and run cold water!"

"Ayin, you are thinking...your own injury hasn't healed yet..."

The other person just silently took off his coat and shirt, and carefully picked up Qingyan from the bed.

"Sir, you're ready!"

"Well...you take your sister out first..."

"...yes."

…

In the outer living room, Tanaka glanced at the window inadvertently.

The rain showed no sign of abating, and the wind blew the gauze curtains, bringing a hint of coolness.

After looking around, he realized that this was Miss Qingyan's room, so he took off his suit jacket.

"Miss Chu Yan, you should also take care of yourself and be careful not to catch a cold."

A warm feeling fell on his shoulders, and Shen Chuxuan finally gathered his spirits from his long period of worry.

"Thank you, Mr. Tanaka."

There was gratitude mixed in with the wry smile.

"Mr. Tanaka, has Ayin… caused you any trouble? This child is so willful and doesn't listen to anything. He's almost hurting himself. Fortunately, you have been taking care of him..."

"This is what I should do, Miss Chu Yan. Actually, I was also negligent this time. In such weather, I shouldn't have let Miss Qing Yan come back alone."

"These two are so stubborn, one is better than the other!"

"You're quite right," the butler agreed reluctantly. "As for Miss Qingyan's injury, if I'm not mistaken, the previous incident in Seoul where she and Mr. Dustin from Infinity were shot, it seems like it wasn't a show."

——It was at that time...

Chen Chuxuan suddenly realized, and then thought about Qingyan who had always pretended to be fine in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

Tanaka had sighed too much recently, so he held it back. Thinking about what was happening in the inner room, he had to prepare for the master who came out:

"Miss Chuxuan, I'm going to the car to get some spare clothes for Mr.
