Gu Youran walked out of the bathroom.
When Renault looked up and saw her, he was stunned.
Just twenty minutes ago, Gu Youran still needed his support to walk.
But now, she looks radiant, as if she has become a different person.
Especially those eyes, there was light in them again.
However, Renault knew that the light was not caused by him, but by the man named Shi Heng.
Since childhood, Renault has been accustomed to relying on himself for everything because of his living environment.
He never envies anyone, and he will do his best to get what he wants.
But at this moment, he felt deeply powerless for the first time.
He envied and even envied Shi Heng.
Just because Shi Heng is the light in Gu Youran's eyes.
"What did you do to yourself?" Renault suppressed his anger.
Gu Youran smiled casually, "Nothing, just using silver needles to stimulate the acupuncture points to temporarily increase your physical strength."
The more indifferent she acted, the more uncomfortable Renault felt.
He took a step forward, his voice unconsciously rising, "Do you know the consequences of doing this? How much damage will it cause to your body if you force your body to change?! How can you not take care of yourself?"
His eyes were red and the scars on his face were particularly glaring.
Gu Youran was stunned by his sudden emotion, but quickly regained her composure.
"I know, but I have to do it."
"Must?" Renault's voice sharpened. "For Shi Heng, are you so desperate? Even willing to hurt yourself?"
He clenched his fists tightly, and felt as if something had stabbed his heart.
He was angry that she didn't take care of herself, and even more angry that she worked so hard for another man.
Gu Youran looked at him and said helplessly, "Reno, I know you're doing this for my own good. But this isn't just for Shi Heng, it's also for those who have always supported me. I can't let them down."
Renault turned around and faced her with his back. "Whatever you say, I have no right to control you anyway."
He didn't want Gu Youran to see him losing his composure.
This was the first time in his life that he had spoken so much to a woman with such patience.
But she didn't appreciate it.
Gu Youran looked at his back and said softly, "Thank you, Renault."
She knew Renault was doing this for her own good, but she had no choice.
There are some things she has to do, even if it costs her own health.
After a moment of silence, Gu Youran took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Renault, can you please do me a favor?"
Renault still didn't turn around, but asked coldly: "What can I do for you?"
"Help me find out the whereabouts of the girl I was with. I'm worried about her."
There was silence for a few seconds.
Lei Nuo finally turned around and looked at her with complicated eyes. "Master Lei's men have been found. The woman was drugged. She will be fine after a good sleep. You don't have to worry too much."
Gu Youran finally let go of her worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Renault, I want to use your phone."
Renault glanced at her and without asking any questions, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
Gu Youran took it, looked down, and was stunned.
It turned out to be his own cell phone.
"This was found in the hotel room by Mr. Lei's men." Renault explained.
The phone is turned off.
She turned her phone back on, and instantly countless missed calls and text messages popped up on the screen.
She first called her agent Mai Wen.
As soon as the call was connected, Mai Wen's voice almost exploded, "Lenna! Where the hell have you been?! The premiere of "The Other Side of the World" is about to start in half an hour!"
Gu Youran replied calmly, "I'm sorry, there was a small accident. I'll be there soon."
Hang up the phone.
Renault drove her to the Beijing Planetarium himself.
Mr. Lei was afraid that something unexpected might happen during the journey, so he specially arranged three bodyguard cars to accompany him, providing protection from the front and back to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Along the way, neither of them spoke.
As they were about to reach their destination, Renault finally couldn't help but speak.
"You tried so hard, you almost... Shi Heng, do you know?"
Gu Youran immediately became nervous. "Shi Heng is on a business trip. He doesn't know about this, so don't tell him."
"Even if I don't tell him, with all the injuries on your body, can you hide it?"
Gu Youran bit her lip and said, "I can't hide it, but as long as I can keep it a secret until the end of the performance, it'll be fine."
Renault looked at her deeply and stopped talking.
Gu Youran was silent for a moment, looking out the window, "He is the light in my life. Without him, my world is dark."
Renault's hands shook violently and he almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
19:10
The car stopped in front of the Beijing Planetarium.
There are only twenty minutes left until the premiere begins.
There was already a crowd outside the venue, with tens of thousands of fans holding light boards and posters, their faces full of anticipation.
Only 1,000 lucky fans who had birthdays on that day were invited into the museum to interact closely with rock star Lenna.
Others can only stand at the door and watch from afar, as if this will bring them closer to their idols.
Gu Youran followed Mai Wen's instructions and walked quickly towards the venue entrance through the special passage.
She suddenly stopped and turned to look at Renault, "Do you want to go in together?"
Renault shook his head. "I won't go. You go ahead and do your thing."
Gu Youran took out her phone and clicked on the WeChat QR code. "Add me on WeChat. We'll contact you some other day."
Renault was stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and scanned her QR code.
The two people's avatars appeared side by side in the friend list, as if they had narrowed the distance between them.
"Okay." Gu Youran put away her phone and smiled at him, "Then I'll be leaving first."
Renault said "hmm", his eyes still fixed on her face, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded.
Gu Youran didn't stay any longer, turned around and hurried into the venue.
Her figure quickly disappeared around the corner.
Renault glanced down at the phone screen, clicked on the dialog box, paused for a few seconds, and sent a message:
【May your light tonight illuminate all those who come for you. 】
He stared at the screen, feeling relieved yet vaguely empty.
After a moment, he put away his phone and walked towards the car.
The engine started and the car slowly drove away.
In the rearview mirror, the lights of the Beijing Planetarium became farther and farther away, eventually disappearing into the night.
Renault gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring straight ahead, but his heart felt as if something had been hollowed out.
He knew that some distances could not be bridged by hard work.
…
At the same time.
Private airport in Beijing.
Shi Heng walked down from the plane quickly, looking exhausted.
Fortunately, he finally arrived back on time.
Just as I took out my cell phone and was about to call Gu Youran, a WeChat reminder popped up on the screen.
I clicked on the message and it was from Gu Youran.
"Heng, I'm waiting for you at the planetarium. Under the starry sky, I've prepared two surprises: one for the whole world, and one just for you."
