The next day, at 6:05 a.m.
"Hmm..." The man on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes, his eyes still blurry from just waking up.
When my gaze fell upon the figure curled up asleep in the chair, my eyes instantly cleared.
The girl hugged her knees with both hands, resting her face on them. Her eyebrows were like ink paintings, and her thick, curled eyelashes cast a beautiful arc under her eyelids. Her nose was high and delicate, and her cherry lips were as red as a peach.
Gu Nian lifted the covers, his long legs touching the ground. He walked to Luo Shimiao's side, intending to carry her to the bed, but the moment his fingers touched her, she woke up.
Raising an eyebrow, so wary?
Luo Shimiao opened one eye and looked at the aloof and handsome man in front of her: "You're awake."
Gu Nian: "Mm."
Luo Shimiao was still worried about not having paid the fee.
"Go pay the bill, I've charged your phone." He pointed to the phone on the bedside table.
Luo Shimiao rubbed his eyes and stood up. As soon as his feet touched the ground, a tingling sensation spread, and his legs went weak, causing him to fall to the ground. At the critical moment, he was caught by a pair of strong arms.
Gu Nian then carried the person to the bed.
On the clean white sheets, Luo Shimiao's dirty feet stood out.
Luo Shimiao was afraid of soiling the sheets, so she tried to move her feet off the bed, but as soon as she moved, a tingling sensation swept over her whole body.
"Hiss~" I dared not move anymore.
Seeing the girl's grimacing expression, Gu Nian said, "Don't move around if your legs are numb."
"Mhm." Luo Shimiao nodded.
"You lie down and rest for a while, I'll go pay the bill and be right back." He unplugged the phone, picked it up, and left the ward.
When Gu Nian returned, she was carrying a pair of slippers.
He placed the slippers by the bedside and looked at Luo Shimiao with his dark eyes: "Put them on, let's go."
Luo Shimiao raised an eyebrow, surprised that he would buy her shoes.
Gu Nian: "I didn't know your size, I just bought it randomly."
"Thanks." Luo Shimiao wiggled his toes, amazed, it was just the right size.
The two walked out of the hospital one after the other, with Gu Nian still wearing her hospital gown.
Luo Shimiao walked behind him. The man was tall and straight, and even wearing a hospital gown did not diminish his aura.
Just as Luo Shimiao was looking down, pondering how to get home, her wrist was gently grasped by a large hand.
"?" Luo Shimiao looked up at him, puzzled.
Gu Nian led Luo Shimiao to a black, top-of-the-line BMW, opened the car door, and gestured for her to get in.
The girl's long, curled eyelashes fluttered. When did he call the car?
As long as there's a car to get home, there's no need to think too much. I bent down and crawled into the car.
As soon as the car door closed, a sobbing male voice came from the driver's seat.
"Boss, you scared me to death! Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise, I would have died a thousand times over."
"Waaaaah, I couldn't sleep all night."
The man who spoke was Gu Nian's assistant, Chen Jiawen.
Chen Jiawen: "Boss....."
Gu Nian pressed his temples: "Shut up!"
“............”
"Where do you live? I'll take you home first." He turned to look at the girl sitting quietly.
Luo Shimiao immediately gave him an address.
Gu Nian: "What about the things I asked you to buy?"
"Here, here." Chen Jiawen picked up a rectangular box from the passenger seat and handed it to him.
"For me?" Luo Shimiao asked, looking at the box in front of him.
Gu Nian: "Yeah, wasn't your phone broken?"
"It's probably just the screen that's broken. I can get it repaired and it should still work." He pushed the box back.
"Just consider it as compensation for the necklace I gave you." He said, opening the packaging, turning on the device, and shoving it into her hand.
Luo Shimiao tilted her head, looked at the aloof and noble man in front of her, and said, "I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. How much did the phone cost? Can you refund the difference?"
A soft chuckle escaped from his thin lips: "Okay."
"OK." With a satisfied reply, I took out the SIM card and put it into the new phone. All things considered, the loss wasn't significant.
"Why not take it if it's free?" she thought, "I'm not that kind of saint."
As soon as she logged into WeChat, a QR code appeared in front of her. Luo Shimiao blinked and looked at the man beside her with a puzzled expression.
"Add me, and I'll transfer the rest of the money to you via WeChat," Gu Nian said calmly.
She was really quick to follow through. Without hesitation, Luo Shimiao scanned the QR code. It was as if if she had been a second slower, the money would have flown away. But what could she do? She was poor.
The friend request was accepted quickly.
“Luo Shimiao.” Gu Nian read the message that popped up.
"My name, isn't it nice?" The girl tilted her head and smiled.
Gu Nian was about to speak when Chen Jiawen interrupted him.
Chen Jiawen glanced at Luo Shimiao in the rearview mirror and said, "I knew you looked familiar. Aren't you that C-list celebrity who's been getting a lot of hate online lately?"
Luo Shimiao rolled her eyes. It's true what they say, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
"Are those online rumors true?" I couldn't help but ask out of sheer curiosity.
Luo Shimiao leaned closer to Chen Jiawen and said quietly, "What do you think?"
"No, you don't look like that kind of person." Chen Jiawen scratched his head awkwardly.
"Did you offend someone? Are they trying to get you?" He knew a little about the entertainment industry; it was a cesspool, after all.
Luo Shimiao crossed her arms, put her legs up, and said sarcastically, "Some toads wanted to sleep with me, but they didn't get to."
His dark eyes were fixed on the girl, who looked indifferent. He remembered what she had said: "I almost fell for it tonight too, but luckily I was quick-witted."
A cold male voice rang out: "Has your brain been squeezed?"
Luo Shimiao was stunned. Why was she being scolded? She said with dissatisfaction, "Such a beautiful head, does it look like it's been pinched?"
