An Nanyi stood there dumbfounded, watching An Jing anxiously chase after Lin Qingyan in the direction he had left. He stammered, "Big brother," but the other person didn't turn around.
Immediately afterward, Song Shuman and An Lingkang hurriedly chased after them, passing right by without even glancing at them. "Dad, Mom..."
Annan watched them walk away, bewildered and helpless, her mind blank and buzzing.
It was as if, at that moment, he had lost his loving parents and brother forever.
He trembled all over, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he felt nothing. Lin Qingyan... It's all Lin Qingyan's fault!
The surrounding noise pulled An Nanyi back to reality. He stared blankly at the people around him, their eyes filled with amusement, disgust, and disdain.
Some people even shouted:
"Annanyi, how dare you still stand here!"
"The An family must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met you!"
"How can someone like you be worthy of being an idol!"
...Remember this URL in one second: http://m.
He was surrounded by a chorus of curses. An Nanyi looked at them in a panic, "I didn't... I didn't!" He couldn't take it anymore, and backed away step by step, then turned and ran towards the backstage area.
Only now did the director frantically grab the walkie-talkie and shout, "Quick, quick, get things under control!"
The remaining three mentors realized what was happening and immediately began to calm the audience down, saying, "Everyone, please calm down. I understand how you feel, but the show still needs to continue filming."
"So our next step is... well, to rank all the contestants by their votes."
Fortunately, all the stage performances had ended, and the next step was to announce the vote rankings. Everyone present, whether mentors, contestants, or audience members, seemed distracted.
Once the vote count was announced, the recording of this episode ended, and it wasn't significantly affected by this unexpected turn of events.
Everyone is probably busy going back to share their unexpected gains with family and friends, or surfing the internet.
The trending topics tonight are going to explode.
...
Lin Qingyan walked quickly, his body trembling uncontrollably, his heart pounding, his eyes moist and red, revealing a variety of complex emotions.
He was terrified. He was far from being as calm and composed as he appeared on the surface. In the short ten minutes he spent on the stage, he had already exhausted his courage.
His head was spinning and buzzing, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and the aftereffects of his injury were still present. After a while, his body began to sway slightly, and he leaned weakly against the wall.
"Are you alright?" Lu Yuqi hurriedly caught up and supported his arm. "You should still be in the wheelchair..."
Before he could finish speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him. The next second, a tall man in a suit appeared in front of them and, without saying a word, bent down and picked Lin Qingyan up in his arms.
The familiar scent enveloped Lin Qingyan. Looking at the handsome and mature man in front of him, he felt like a ship that had lost its way at sea had seen a lighthouse, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Brother Fei, you've arrived..."
"I've always been here," Gu Fei said softly, then looked at the person in his arms with concern and asked gently, "Where do you feel unwell?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy." The boy's voice was a little hoarse.
"Shall we go back first?"
"good."
After seeing the boy obediently nod in agreement, a moment of gentleness flashed across the man's cold demeanor, and he said to Lu Yuqi, "I'll take him back first. Thank you for keeping him company earlier."
After saying that, he carried Lin Qingyan away.
Gu Fei walked quickly. Lu Yuqi watched his figure disappear from sight, clicked his tongue, and muttered to himself, "Never mind, I'm magnanimous, I'll forgive you for your eight dollars and eighty cents."
Young Master Lu smiled, then put his hands in his pockets and leaned leisurely against the wall, his eyes slightly lowered, as if he was quietly waiting for something.
A moment later, hurried and chaotic footsteps echoed down the corridor.
Lu Yuqi glanced sideways in the direction of the sound and, sure enough, saw the man who was always calm and composed in front of the camera looking anxious and walking hurriedly towards them.
He saw Lu Yuqi standing in front of him, but there was only an empty wheelchair next to him, and Lin Qingyan was nowhere to be seen. He looked around, but there was no one else there either.
He hurried over and grabbed the boy's arm anxiously. "Where's Yan Yan? Why isn't he with you? Where did he go? Please tell me!"
The man's tone was tense and urgent, his voice rising and even trembling slightly. Lu Yuqi looked up and saw that An Jing's eyes were already red and glistening with tears.
Lu Yuqi paused, his expression hard. He hadn't actually intended to tell An Jing, because he felt angry and wronged on Lin Qingyan's behalf, and even wanted to say a few sarcastic things to the man in front of him.
Isn't An Nanyi your most beloved younger brother? Shouldn't you be feeling sorry for him right now? Why are you coming to see Lin Qingyan?
But at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to say it. After a two-second pause, he finally told the truth: "My cousin just took him away."
"Your cousin? Gu Fei?"
"Um."
Just then, Song Shuman and An Lingkang caught up with them. Their expressions were exactly the same as An Jing's, both anxious and flustered, especially Song Shuman.
"An Jing, where's Yan Yan? Have you seen him?" An Lingkang grabbed his eldest son's arm anxiously.
This group leader, who has always been calm and composed in the business world and has experienced countless ups and downs, is now just a father who cares about his son.
Song Shuman's hands trembled with anxiety. "No, we have to find him right now. What if something happens to him while he's alone..."
“Mom and Dad, don’t worry, Yan Yan is fine. He’s with Gu Fei.” An Jing reassured her parents while taking out her phone. “I’ll call him and ask how he is.”
Song Shuman was somewhat surprised, "Gu Fei? Qing Tong's son? How come they're together?" She and Gu Fei's mother, Yu Qing Tong, were longtime friends, so they naturally knew each other.
"It's a long story." An Jing suddenly thought of something, gritted his teeth in resentment, but he couldn't care less about that now. He tapped the screen hard and dialed Gu Fei's number.
The phone rang for a moment before being answered, and only two cold, indifferent words came from the other end: "Speak."
An Jing quickly asked, "Is Yan Yan with you? How is he? Where are you?"
Gu Fei glanced at the person sitting in the passenger seat. The young man had his eyes closed in discomfort, his delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his face was still pale.
He quietly withdrew his gaze, lowered his voice, and said to An Jing on the other end of the phone, "Come to the hospital." He then immediately hung up and focused on driving.
An Jing put down her phone. "Mom and Dad, let's go to the hospital."
The three hurriedly walked outside, but then An Jing seemed to remember something and turned back. She looked at Lu Yuqi, who was still standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking arrogant and cocky.
An Jing said earnestly, "Thank you."
Lu Yuqi was unusually uncomfortable and gave a vague "hmm." An Jing didn't care about his reaction and hurriedly caught up with his parents.
The night was deep, and the night wind, carrying the chill of early autumn, rustled the treetops, casting dappled shadows under the moonlight and streetlights. The trees longed for stillness, but the wind never ceased.
Tonight is destined to be an unsettling night for some.
A black Maybach stopped in front of the hospital. It was late at night, and the inpatient area was quiet.
After getting out of the car, Lin Qingyan tried to walk by herself, but Gu Fei still picked her up and carried her in his arms. Although he didn't say anything, the man's actions revealed an undeniable forcefulness.
Lin Qingyan didn't struggle; she simply buried her face in the man's chest, breathing in his faint, reassuring scent.
Gu Fei carried the person in his arms into the ward, gently placed him on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and softly reminded him, "Be careful, don't bump the back of your head."
He knelt down beside the bed, gently touching the boy's soft hair on his forehead. "Do you want some water? Are you hungry? Are you still dizzy?"
Lin Qingyan lay there obediently, saying nothing, only shaking his head. Gu Fei naturally knew what he was thinking. "Your brother and parents are on their way. They are very concerned about you."
The boy's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?"
Actually, the reason he walked so fast was because he didn't dare to meet them. It was like a feeling of being close to home but also apprehensive. He really wanted to recognize them, but he was also very helpless and uneasy, afraid that something bad might happen.
"Of course it's true, you'll be able to meet soon." Gu Fei gently held the boy's hand, a gentle smile on her face. "Yan Yan, you did very well just now."
Gu Fei said, "I was originally thinking that if you were unwilling to tell them, I would tell them the truth myself."
He didn't want the child to be sad and wronged because of this. What belonged to him was his to take back sooner or later, and the person who took his place should also be punished.
"This is my own business, and I should be the one to solve it. You've already helped me a lot." Lin Qingyan smiled at Gu Fei, feeling relieved that the heavy weight that had been weighing on her heart for so long had finally been lifted.
Gu Fei leaned over and placed a light kiss on the back of the boy's hand. "You rest first. I have something to do and will be going out for a while."
"good."
Gu Fei had just reached the downstairs entrance when he encountered the three members of the An family who were hurrying over. He went over to them and politely greeted Mr. and Mrs. An.
"Gu Fei, is it really you? Where's Yan Yan?"
"Uncle and Aunt, Lin Qingyan is in the ward upstairs."
Gu Fei said, "But you can't see him yet."
