âThatâs enough!â cried an ashen-faced Ji Yan, having reached the end of her patience. âEnough said! I donât know what caused the fight between you two; it might be a misunderstanding, but we can always talk after tending to your injuries. Thatâs whatâs most important now! What are we going to do if you hurt your tendons and bones?â
Her boyfriend was just about to say something when she cut in impatiently. âShow me some face and donât go overboard, okay? Let me take you to a hospital to clean up your injuries.â
Meanwhile, the rest of the people were too shocked to make a peep as they studied the couple with varying expressions.
Clenching his teeth tightly, Gao Nan shot a furious glare in Hua Jinâs direction, then he turned to take a look at his girlfriend, who was wearing a pleading expression on her face. It was only after breathing hard for several seconds that he bent over and picked up his phone and coat from the floor before turning around to leave.
The woman reached out to support him at once, but with him being in a fit of pique, he shook off her arm, yelling, âDonât touch me!â
Stunned and aggrieved, she bit her lower lip then turned to look at her co-actors and told Yun Shishi, âIâll leave you to take care of Hua Jin, then.â With that, she hurriedly chased after her boyfriend.
Yun Shishi was still seething with rage and glared at the man going down the stairs with his girlfriendâs help. Only when they disappeared from sight did she retract her gaze.
âWhat exactly happened, Shishi?â asked the director worriedly.
âNothing! I just met a jerk!â
Another staff member, out of concern, followed up by asking, âWhat Hua Jin said earlier... Did Gao Nan try to harass you?â
She did not answer that question, for she was so rattled at the moment. Like a child who had done wrong, she hung her head low and her eyes rimmed red.
When the idol saw this, he patted her head placatingly and said, âItâs alright now. Fear not, for I will protect you!â He then enveloped her in his arms and comforted her nonstop.
This only worsened her feelings of guilt and self-blame, for he had gotten hurt because of her, yet he was unconcerned about his injuries and only cared about taking care of her.
With things turning out this way, the birthday party naturally ended on a bad note.
Yun Shishi wanted to take Hua Jin to a hospital for a checkup, but the stubborn actor refused to go, claiming, âThese are just minor injuries!â
As they left the bar and walked on the streets, he wiped and licked the corners of his lips. âTsk. That b*st*rd really went all out earlier!â
He looked at her rather nervously and asked out of worry, âShishi, are my lips badly torn?â
Oh, gosh. She could not help feeling angry and tickled at the same time!
Trust him to be so concerned about his face even at this point!
âNot really, but... should we err on the side of caution and go have them stitched?â
âSurely, itâs not that serious?â He touched the corner of his lips carefully. âNope, doesnât need stitching! There wonât be any scars, so no need to fuss about them.â
âWhat about the injuries on your body...â
âNo broken bones.â
âHow can you be sure?!â she asked exasperatedly. âWhat if youâre suffering from fractured bones?â
âIâll know it if thatâs the case. â He told her this lightly. âIâm used to getting hurt, anyway; itâs all good as long as my face isnât disfigured...â
Feigning nonchalance, he joked, âIâll cry if my pretty face gets ruined! Donât you find it a pity if my good looks get destroyed?â
Hearing that, her heart suddenly grew heavy. Out of misery, she suddenly stopped walking as she bit her lower lip with her eyes moistening.
