"Do I need to write a report to you and ask for your approval if I kiss him? Who are you?" Everything happened so quickly that Ji Xinghe subconsciously retorted after hearing his question before he could even see who it was.
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. The man who had already stood up opposite him almost went crazy after hearing Ji Xinghe's question. "I, I am!" He was suddenly stuck when he said this because he didn't know how to continue.
"Speak? You can't say it, right?" Ji Xinghe was standing a few steps away from him, his eyes filled with disdain. "Oh, I get it. You're just a piece of trash who drugs people."
The person who came was none other than Lin Jingze, who was also sent to the nearby hospital yesterday because he was kicked unconscious by the system.
The system's kick looked fierce, but it was actually measured, not hitting anyone in the face. Lin Jingze even woke up earlier in the hospital than Ji Xinghe.
After waking up, Lin Jingze had a splitting headache and looked extremely ugly.
He thought back to yesterday, when he realized Ji Xinghe was the person he was looking for and gave him the laced water from the twilight. But he never expected that while the mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole was behind. The beauty he thought was already in his grasp was still picked off at the critical moment. He didn't even see the face of the person who took Ji Xinghe away.
It was obvious what would happen if Ji Xinghe, under the effects of the drug, was taken away. Lin Jingze didn't believe anyone could resist the temptation of a beautiful woman in his arms.
With his last hope, he asked Ji Hao for Ji Xinghe's cell phone number. As expected, a stranger answered the phone. The man even said that Ji Xinghe was too tired yesterday and still hadn't woken up.
Too tired! Do I need to explain how tired I am?
Lin Jingze originally thought that he could calm down, but unfortunately he overestimated himself. The next moment after hearing this, he smashed his phone into pieces.
Lin Jingze didn't know what was going on in his mind at that moment, he just felt a fire burning inside him. This fire made him restless.
While going through the discharge procedures, he happened to see the small transparent bag with Ji Xinghe's name on it that the nurse had put in when dispensing medicine. The bag contained Ji Xinghe's antipyretic medicine.
After seeing which ward it was written on the wall, Lin Jingze walked straight to the door of Ji Xinghe's ward. He didn't believe such a coincidence could happen, and even if there was one, it wouldn't take much to check it out.
But when he pushed open the door, he saw the eye-opening scene. Ji Xinghe, who had been so rude to him, Zhao Zhen, and even the Ji family, was actually smiling so happily at a stranger. He even took the initiative to kiss the man on the face.
When facing that man, Ji Xinghe didn't have the same defensiveness or vigilance as he did with them. Instead, he felt a closeness that could be felt at first glance. It was as if they truly belonged to the same world.
How could Lin Jingze not be furious?
The boy who made him think about him day and night and whose heart ached hid behind the man with trust and dependence, and then called him trash in a disgusted tone.
Lin Jingze sneered, "I'm trash. I admit that drugging you was wrong. I regret it, I really do. I regret that I acted too late. I should have known better back in Deep Blue. I should have kidnapped you before Feng Ling did, hidden you away, so that you could only look at me, and only see me! Isn't that what you like?"
Ji Xinghe looked up at the sky. After a while, he said to the system, "My fever seems to have subsided. Can I be discharged from the hospital? I'm hungry and want to go eat some fried chicken. Oh, and I want to have a Coke with it. I tell you, fried chicken and Coke together... It's perfect. You're sure to like it. Let's go."
He realized that he was a normal person, and that there was no way a normal person could communicate with a psychopath. No matter how much he talked, the psychopath couldn't understand him. So he simply didn't waste his breath with him and just ignored him.
If you insist on arguing with him, you might be brought to the same neurotic level by him and defeated by his rich logical experience.
"You can't eat fried chicken. You have a fever and need to eat something light." The man's tone was cold and unquestionable.
But Ji Xinghe knew that this was just a habit of the system, and he had not yet learned to express his emotions naturally in his words.
"Ah?" Ji Xinghe dragged out his tone, and then acted coquettishly towards the man, "I'm already well. You just said my fever was gone. I want to eat something flavorful, not something bland."
The two walked out hand in hand. To be precise, Ji Xinghe held the man's hand. The two of them blatantly ignored Lin Jingze.
What was strange was that Lin Jingze didn't even stop the two from leaving, and just stood there and watched them leave.
Lin Jingze didn't stop them because he just remembered that he must have seen the man next to Ji Xinghe. When Ji Xinghe was kidnapped by Feng Ling, he didn't know that Ji Xinghe was the person he was looking for. He was completely taken to the Longhu Bay warehouse by Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui.
At that time, he felt a little relieved, and he wanted to let Feng Ling, that crazy woman, give Ji Xinghe a good beating. He only glanced at the man who rescued Ji Xinghe at that time.
It's him! He actually knows Ji Xinghe, and Ji Xinghe is so close to him. There must be something wrong here!
Although the distance was a bit far and the man's face was a bit blurry, Lin Jingze would not make a mistake based on the look he gave him and the aura he exuded.
What puzzled Lin Jingze was that not only did he feel that this man's face was familiar, but his voice seemed familiar to him as well. He just couldn't place it right away. He hadn't heard this man speak at the Longhu Bay warehouse either.
Fortunately, Lin Jingze has not been completely blinded by anger. He will not act rashly again before he finds out the true background of the man next to Ji Xinghe.

"Tong'er, do you feel that many people are looking at me along the way?" After being discharged from the hospital, Ji Xinghe was walking back to the apartment. Along the way, people kept pointing at him secretly, which made Ji Xinghe feel a little strange.
The man's ears twitched. "They're discussing whether you're 'sun'. It might be related to your previous live broadcast."
The system had watched Ji Xinghe's entire performance, but the audience in the livestream hadn't been aware of it. Now, three days later, the internet had indeed become quite buzzworthy. As a rising star, a popular newcomer, it wasn't surprising that Ji Xinghe was recognized on the street.
"Yeah, you're right. I've been so busy these past two days that I almost forgot about it. If that's the case, then forget about him and leave it to me."
After understanding the whole story, Ji Xinghe no longer questioned the occasional gazes on him. He had anticipated this day ever since he realized he needed to conquer to survive. He who wears the crown must bear its weight. He considered it a chance to experience the celebrity life he hadn't had the chance to experience in his previous life.
Ji Xinghe faced all kinds of vague gazes along the way, but he looked back at them all calmly, with just the right amount of doubt in his eyes.
This glance made those who were already hesitant even more hesitant to approach. Sun always wore a mask during his live broadcasts, so no one had any idea what he looked like. With the cold weather and the many people wearing masks on the streets, it was possible he had simply made a mistake. It would have been awkward for them to approach him and talk to him.
Relying on his excellent acting skills, Ji Xinghe calmly brought the system back to his small apartment, then lay on the sofa and started ordering takeout.
He ordered fried chicken, cola, ice cream, pizza, and other things he thought were delicious for the system, and then, under the man's gaze, he ordered a bowl of vegetarian porridge for himself with a sense of grievance.
Half an hour later, everything Ji Xinghe ordered arrived. Except for the porridge, Ji Xinghe piled all the remaining things in front of the system.
Since his son had become a human, he should naturally experience the joys that only humans can have. Eating delicious food was one of them, but Ji Xinghe was thinking about many other things in his mind, and he would slowly teach them to the system in the future.
After confirming that the system knew how to eat, Ji Xinghe took a deep breath and sat back in his seat, eating his porridge without looking away. To distract himself, he also looked at the scene selection map sent to him by Joyce on his phone while eating.
I don’t know where Joyce found so many landscape photos of various places in such a short time, and most of them look very realistic, not the kind that were carefully edited from a good angle.
From the pictures Joyce sent him, it's clear that Joyce wasn't the type of director to flock to famous scenic spots. While there were some famous locations in the filming locations, there were more obscure but still beautiful places.
Ji Xinghe also asked this question. In Joyce's words: These places have not been polluted by too many human traces and are natural enough.
As he was looking, when he turned to a picture, Ji Xinghe suddenly froze and did not click with his thumb.
Ji Xinghe was so familiar with the scenery here, even the old locust tree standing in the center of the picture. Because of so much time, a small tree hole had formed under the old locust tree. That was where Ji Xinghe used to snuggle up.
Is it a coincidence?
Ji Xinghe quickly looked up the address where the photo was taken. It was a completely unfamiliar address, not a place Ji Xinghe was familiar with.
Although the address was not the same, the picture caught Ji Xinghe's eye. He forwarded the photo to Joyce and said, "I like it. If you ask me, I want to go here."
Joyce replied quickly, and Ji Xinghe even suspected that he hadn't even looked at the photo carefully. "No problem, let's go there!"
"By the way, Sun, I've already found the reliable charity you asked me to help you find. It's an international charity, and many of my friends who truly want to do charity work through it. I'll give you the contact information for the person in charge of Country C."
[Okay, thank you so much, Joyce.]
No, don't thank me. That's what I should do.
The author has something to say: Joyce: What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do!
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: Okay.
