Chapter 22 Green Apple Flavored Candy
After a day of rest, Cong Chun, who was in good physical condition, had his fever subside.
Just then, Butler Chen asked Cong Chun to leave the villa in the morning to buy some things.
The husband and wife are usually quite busy with work, so they mostly live in houses near the government or their company.
Today, Cong Chun is in charge of purchasing the items that Young Master Duan specified, as well as the fruit that the villa has been lacking recently.
This matter was originally handled by an aunt, but unfortunately, a family member of hers was hospitalized today, so she had to take leave.
Duan Mingxiao is attending the birthday party of Ji Ruhui, the young master of the Ji family, today.
Steward Chen had no choice but to arrange for Cong Chun to go out and make purchases.
Cong Chun held the shopping list and noticed the green apple flavored soda on it; his eyes flickered slightly.
The boy had just recovered from a fever. He wore a light blue mask and carried the canvas bag he used to carry his books in high school before heading out.
Immediately afterwards, the Duan family's driver took him to a shopping mall in the city center.
Soon after, the boy appeared at the entrance of the mall carrying a large bag of fruit. A melancholy piano melody drifted over, and Cong Chun was immediately drawn to it.
He looked up at the giant advertising screen outside the mall.
A young man dressed in ancient costume suddenly appeared on the big screen. He wore a dark blue official robe, his black hair flowed freely, his eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and he held a scepter in his hand.
Behind him stood a man in a black dragon robe, wearing a crown that only emperors could wear.
The two lines of gold-stamped ink characters in the upper right corner read "Zhang Xun, Imperial Tutor for All Ages".
Nominated for Best Actor at the 89th Hong Kong Film Awards – Luo Qing (as a character)
The boy on the big screen has striking features, while Luo Qing's face is naturally made for the big screen, beautiful and full of stories.
He has outstanding acting skills and an excellent reputation in the industry. He is a humble and polite actor.
The recent movie "The Scheme" has become a huge hit, achieving both box office and critical acclaim. As the male lead, Luo Qing's popularity has skyrocketed. Originally a relatively unknown second-tier actor, he gained over ten million fans thanks to this movie, becoming a top star overnight.
Today, Luo Qing herself happens to be holding an event at this shopping mall.
The brand underestimated the popularity of this actor who became an overnight sensation. Fans and passersby crowded the area, and for safety reasons, the brand had to temporarily cancel the event.
"Wow! My God, it's Luo Qing! How did he end up here?"
"There's an event for Luo Qing Baby at a nearby shopping mall today."
"Luo Qing, we love you, Luo Luo, look here."
The overwhelming cheers and screams, along with countless blue light boards, created chaos at the scene. A group of people, holding up their phones and camera equipment, surged towards the center like a tidal wave.
However, they mistook him for someone else; this person was clearly not Luo Qing, but his agent.
The real Luo Qing has disappeared.
The two hid in the cramped changing room, staring at each other in bewilderment.
Luo Qing raised her beautiful eyes and looked Cong Chun up and down. The boy was carrying a canvas bag that he had received as a gift when he bought milk five or six years ago. It still had a picture of cows eating grass on it, but the name of the milk brand had been worn away.
Looking at her outfit, it was outdated: a faded plaid shirt and black canvas shoes that had come unglued.
A thought instantly flashed through Luo Qing's mind.
Where did this country bumpkin come from?
Luo Qing had only ever seen this kind of outfit on set during the filming of movies set in the 1980s.
The boy's eyes revealed a hint of arrogance, and his tone was somewhat domineering as he looked at Cong Chun.
"What happened today must not be posted online."
Cong Chun slowly opened his mouth and nodded.
"I won't."
Cong Chun was waiting for the Duan family's driver outside the mall when a strange person suddenly bumped into him head-on.
Ignoring the scattered fruit, Cong Chun first helped the person up.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't appreciate it at all.
"Do not touch me!"
Luo Qing subconsciously mistook Cong Chun for one of his crazy stalker fans.
Upon hearing Luo Qing's words, Cong Chun had no choice but to let go.
As a result, Luo Qing stepped on the apples scattered on the ground and fell again.
Luo Qing lay sprawled on the ground in a sorry state, her knees aching terribly, unable to stand up for the time being.
The boy clenched his teeth involuntarily. Now he understood that the person in front of him was not his sasaeng fan at all.
Behind her were crazed fans. Luo Qing shakily reached out and grabbed Cong Chun's trouser leg.
"Good sir, please help me hide."
Cong Chun explained slowly and carefully, like a snail.
"Then I'll touch you."
"Don't get angry with me."
Luo Qing is about to vomit blood, hurry up and hurry up!
It's so embarrassing for a big star to be photographed lying on the ground by paparazzi. Will my idol image still hold up?
So, under Luo Qing's command, Cong Chun carried Luo Qing, who had injured her knee, to a nearby shopping mall's changing room to hide.
Luo Qing has already contacted his agent by phone, and now he is just waiting for the agent to come over with bodyguards.
Cong Chun escorted the person to a safe place to hide, but then prepared to leave himself.
The boy was grabbed by the back of his collar by Luo Qing's slender fingers from behind, who then kicked the door shut and pulled him inside.
"I have to go now."
Cong Chun looked helplessly at the boy wearing a black mask in front of him with his amber dog-like eyes.
Even just by looking at his eyes, one could tell that this boy was exceptionally handsome.
"Don't leave. It's too dark here. I'll be scared if I'm alone."
"Wait for my agent to come over." Luo Qing's tone was matter-of-fact.
Cong Chun stared blankly at the door that had been kicked shut.
"Didn't you injure your knee?"
The implication is that you just made me carry you here.
A hint of guilt flashed in Luo Qing's eyes, and she coughed lightly a few times.
"Wait until my agent arrives, you'll get plenty of benefits."
Cong Chun was not happy; he felt as if he had been deceived.
At this moment, Luo Qing's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.
He just returned from an event abroad in the early hours of the morning. He hadn't had much of an appetite the whole way, and he's probably only eaten an apple so far.
The environment suddenly became quiet, and Luo Qing's symptoms of hypoglycemia suddenly appeared.
The boy's face was pale, and his hands were trembling slightly.
His back was pressed against the locker room wall, his face cold.
In the cramped space, Luo Qing could almost hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster, one beat after another, almost bursting out of his chest.
The next second, Luo Qing's vision went black, and just as he was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong, thin hands gently supported him.
Cong Chun noticed his unusual behavior, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to support him.
Even though the person in front of her might be deceiving her, Cong Chun still stepped forward and helped the boy who was taller than her.
"What’s wrong with you."
"I had low blood sugar, and I feel a little dizzy. I'll feel better after a while."
"Here, take it."
The dressing room was filled with the pleasant scent of iris perfume emanating from Luo Qing. He subconsciously lowered his head and leaned wearily on Cong Chun's shoulder.
He smelled the faint, fresh scent of soapberry on Cong Chun, which brought Luo Qing a moment of clarity.
The next second, Luo Qing heard a soft voice in her ear.
"Green apple flavored candy."
