Tang Lan was confined to the hospital after surgery. She managed to survive, but since she fell into a coma, it was hard to say if it was a good thing. The doctors said she was mostly done by the high dosage of drugs ingested and would have a lower chance of waking up if she stayed like that for three days.Meanwhile, Gu Feng also received treatment but he was also discharged after a day. The man asked about Tang Lan once, then after saying his well-wishes, he reported to work.
So far, despite being together for three days, no romantic feelings blossomed on the male lead"s heart. Instead of feeling flattered from receiving Tang Lan"s care, he just wanted to sigh in relief that she didn"t do anything outrageous to him. After all, when he saw those pictures, he had a gut feeling that she really did those things; plotting people"s death, committing crimes and driving people crazy for the sake of producing detective stories that would hit the shelves...
Humans instinctively want to be away from bombs. Gu Feng had a tough heart. But since he was still just a human, he was no exception to this rule.
Three days already pa.s.sed. Pesticide"s activities temporarily stopped, announcing they need a few days of rest. In any case, there was really nothing they could do with their vocalist not with them, probably traumatized by the kidnapping. While the bedridden guy had no problem video chatting with them and rea.s.suring them with a smile that he was fine, in their eyes he was merely pretending. The worried boys did not force him to meet up with them and only told him to rest.
In reality, Jiang Li would have no problem bouncing back to work already if not for Na Yu forcing him to stay in her house.
"Come, eat with me and then drink your medicine. Hehe, just another day of medication and all the drugs in your body system will be cleared. Be good and don"t give me random excuses again."
While he was bored watching movies in the bed, the woman barged into the room with a tray in hands. He gave her a defeated look.
"I escaped from that rapist, but I somehow still ended up being kept. Should I be glad at least the one keeping me is beautiful, gentle, and rich?"
The woman laid the dishes on the table next to the bed. Jiang Li looked at her after noticing most of the dishes were rich in vitamins and minerals.
He sighed. "It"s faint, but I can smell herbs."
On the first day of staying here, he was unconscious. Since Na Yu"s brain was normal, she definitely had a doctor come to treat him. Thanks to the Original who had not taken good care of himself before his takeover, it was easy to notice the abnormalities even without an actual examination. The Na family was quite resourceful too, so if Na Yu wanted, she could dig out his colorful records.
As of now, Jiang Li could already see the girl already know. But what"s amazing was that instead of suddenly finding excuses to break relations.h.i.+ps with him, she started using covert tactics to force him into medications.
"... Maybe I should make her regret after all." He murmured to himself when she left.
Before he knew it, he had once again unmuted the system and spent some of the points earned from the trial world.
...
When Jiang Li returned, the band also went back to their daily hectic schedule. Rumors about him getting kidnapped flew around. But their agency was not new to the business so they soon took care of it.
"Probably if there"s something that changed when Brother He returned, it is our manager." Xie Delan stared with envy when Na Yu brought her packed lunch to He Chen after a rehearsal.
"Four eyes, you should be happy he"s having a proper relations.h.i.+p. Not the one-sided self-abusive one with that annoying woman." Cheng Du said, putting his guitar down the coffee table.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"... It"s not really proper though. It has to be hidden from the public or else Miss Na will be a.s.sa.s.sinated. But welp, I"m happy for him."
The subject of their discussion did not hear what they said. The pretty manager had arrived by his side and pulled him to a corner to eat without care for the jealous eyes of his bandmates. She even laughed when her friend slash a.s.sistant told the boys to eat with their fans if they want.
"He Chen, your friends are jealous of you." Amus.e.m.e.nt could be seen in her bright eyes.
Jiang Li sneered after chewing a handful of seedless grapes. "They"re pretending, missy. Only Delan is not since he"s still chasing your friend." In one corner of his eyes, he saw Nangong Xue turning into stone.
He continued, "... Cheng Du is taken. Little Nian is also seeing someone from the other university. And as for that Rascal Su, he is currently single. But the keyword is currently. Don"t think he"s an idiot who can"t find one to date due to being too dense. More than anyone else here, he"s the one who had so many flings and week-long relations.h.i.+ps. Naive girls are drawn to his bad-boy image. Tch."
"I heard that, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Su Xuefeng proudly raised his electric keyboard in the air. "And I can say with confidence that you"re envious of my record!"
"Idiot," The annoyed drummer scoffed.
Na Yu had an amused expression on her face while Jiang Li looked bored.
"Ignore them. Let"s eat."
"Oh. Okay." Na Yu smile and picked up her chopsticks.
That seemed to be the cue for everyone else in the room to leave them. And they did the correct thing since when Na Yu happily started to feed him and Jiang Li awkwardly tried to do the same, the place became descended into awkwardness so much that it was both cute but painful to watch.
