Chapter 108 Let Fang Xiaoke and the others come see you tomorrow.
Reading Settings
Jin He's spirits have been low ever since that day. He has been wearing an oxygen tube and he often wakes up coughing in the middle of the night. Whenever he wakes up coughing, An Yi picks him up, kisses his face, and rubs his back.
To prevent Jin He from having any discouraging thoughts due to his distress, An Yi began to try various ways to distract him.
"Xiao He, Xiao He? Do you remember Australia? You had your photoshoot there. Let's go visit it together when you're better. Do you remember the Whitsunday Islands?"
"Ahem, I remember..."
"The sea view there is really beautiful."
"I didn't notice," Jin He whispered, leaning on An Yi's shoulder. "I didn't pay attention to those things."
"It's okay, we can go again when you're better."
"Ugh, you're just making empty promises..."
"How can it be just empty promises? I really will take you there."
These past few days, An Yi has been racking his brains trying to think of something that could attract Jin He's attention. In the past few days, Jin He has already traveled around the world in An Yi's words. Tomorrow night, An Yi will probably run out of material, and the only place he can go is outer space.
The next morning, Jin He was doing nebulizer treatment when An Yi gave him his tablet to play a movie. Jin He was watching intently when a WeChat message popped up.
Lin Nian: It's all done. It'll probably be trending on social media around 6 p.m. tonight. Make sure Xiao He doesn't look at her phone around that time.
Lin Nian: Fang Xiaoke and Wen Lian have mentioned to me several times that they want to visit Xiao He. How is Xiao He doing lately? The production team wants to arrange a special episode about visiting her in the hospital. If she's doing alright, could we have them come and film it?
Jin He glanced at him, then silently turned off An Yi's tablet screen. Just then, An Yi walked into the room carrying washed fruit. Seeing Jin He quietly nestled on the bed, he went over and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
"Why aren't you watching the movie?"
"Lin Nian sent you a WeChat message." Jin He touched her nose and said, "I didn't mean to look at your WeChat."
An Yi sat next to Jin He, without taking the tablet from Jin He's hand. He simply opened WeChat and glanced at the screen through Jin He's hand.
"So what do you think?" An Yi asked Jin He.
Jin He shook her head.
"You don't want them to come?"
Jin He didn't have many friends, and although he hadn't spent much time with Fang Xiaoke and the others, they had taken such good care of him. It was the first time Jin He had experienced so much kindness outside of his teammates and family.
However, if we're talking about being in good condition... Jin He doesn't think he's in a very good condition right now, coughing up blood every night.
"Can I have them come?" Jin He asked.
“If you can control yourself, don’t argue with them too much, and don’t eat the things they bring you indiscriminately, then it’s okay,” An Yi replied. “And while they’re here, you can’t miss your injections or medication.”
Jin He nodded, which meant he had agreed.
"And tonight's lean meat congee shouldn't have the lean meat picked out either."
"Can."
Jin He readily agreed, but after a while he looked troubled: "Then, they just want to come and see me, they don't want cameras to follow them, okay?"
Jin He looked embarrassed as he said this. He knew that he looked very different from before. After all, people who are sick are not usually very presentable. Jin He felt that his face was pale, his hair was yellow and dry, and he looked like a dried corpse that had just jumped out of a coffin.
"Can."
How could An Yi possibly refuse his request? Jin He, who has a seven o'clock schedule and gets up at five o'clock to do his makeup and styling, is now... quite pretty, but he can't get over that hurdle in his heart.
"Then, can you order milk tea for us?" Jin He leaned against An Yi's chest, looked up at him, and said hesitantly.
An Yi: "..."
"Don't push your luck." An Yi reached out and pinched his cheek. "What did you promise me? Don't I look like milk tea?"
"No tea base, no ice." Jin He opened An Yi's tablet; the food delivery app was full of his favorite mango pomelo sago, lemon milk tea, taro milk, boba milk...
Jin He knew An Yi's WeChat, Alipay, and bank card passwords. These past few days, he'd been glued to his tablet, looking at all these things, yet he hadn't secretly ordered himself a drink. It was truly a pity.
“There’s no tea base,” Jin He explained to him.
"Alright."
An Yi suddenly felt as if he had raised a son.
Jin He is quite easily satisfied; a cup of milk tea was enough to satisfy him. He sat there as if nothing had happened. An Yi told him, "Don't go online for the next two days."
“I haven’t been online at all,” Jin He said. “I just watched a movie.”
Seeing that Jin He didn't seem to want to ask any more questions, An Yi didn't say anything more. After all, his priority right now was to recover his health and not think about anything else that might disturb his mind.
He was quite pleased with Jin He's complete trust in him.
"Then you can continue watching the movie." An Yi handed the tablet back, but this time Jin He didn't play games anymore. Instead, he opened a match-3 game.
Jin He had a lot of items and stamina in the match-3 game. An Yi saw that Jin He ran out of stamina after playing for a while, so he took advantage of Jin He's sleep to recharge him with 1,000 yuan.
Jin He found out and scolded him.
At 6 p.m., a trending topic quietly appeared on the list.
#Fang Canyang poisoned
The reason is that trainee Qi Yunran posted a video and shared his chat history with Fang Canyang. In the video, Qi Yunran was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.
“At that time, the flu was quite serious in the base, but people who had the flu generally didn’t have much contact with Jin He, and the production team immediately isolated them. Logically speaking, Jin He should have been safe, but one day Teacher Fang Canyang suddenly gave me a handkerchief and asked me to put it on Jin He’s pillow.”
“He is my senior in the same company, and I dare not disobey him. I thought that Teacher Fang Canyang was trying to frame him. I didn’t know that there was a virus on it, and I didn’t know that Jin He had a heart condition.”
“I didn’t want things to turn out this way. I’m tormented by my conscience every day. I really have no other choice. Teacher Fang Canyang said that if I don’t listen to him, he will make me withdraw from the competition. I really have no other option…”
“I heard from Teacher Lin Nian that he hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet. I hope Jin He can forgive me. I really don’t want anything to happen to him because of this.”
"I'm sorry, everyone."
[Damn, what malicious intent!]
No, what do you mean by just framing someone? Framing someone is shameful too!
But... does Jin He have a heart condition? I've liked him since his debut, and I stopped being a fan when he left the group and the group disbanded. How come I never knew he had a heart condition?
Jin He seemed to be in poor health when she was in the team.
I thought he was just too tired back then, but it turns out he also had underlying heart disease? How has he managed to persevere all these years?
What?! Jin He left the team because of this?
An Yi's entire public relations team was closely monitoring public opinion. Any comments that were unfavorable to Jin He would be suppressed by new keywords, and the comment section would be cleaned up quickly.
Meanwhile, Jin He, the center of attention, had just finished a fragrant bath and was asking An Yi to trim his bangs with scissors.
