No matter how messed up it was outside, the hospital was peaceful and calm. Tong Hua had a good rapport with people. Several Mr. and Ms. Populars, as well as some actors, came to visit him. The ward had been filled with people coming in constantly the whole afternoon. When one left, another arrived. Some people came mainly to boost their popularity. After all, whatever happened to Tong Hua had become big, global news. There were also some people who came to visit him out of true heartfelt concern.

All the guests in the production team in City H had come to visit him, and the entire ward felt grand. Lin Xiaojuan felt annoyed, but she could not chase them away. Tong Hua was beginning to recover, and he looked like a nice and obedient child. Some people came to take photos while some came to pinch his face. He did not reject a single one of them.

This happened until evening, and Lin Xiaojuan sighed in relief when all of them had left. Yet, Gu Xie arrived then.

The Mr. and Ms. Populars from Gu Xie’s office had formed a group and came over together. He came in a little later with a glass bowl with two little goldfish in it. There was a purple water-lily floating above, and it looked really special. Tong Hua loved it at the first glimpse.

This was clearly very mindful of him.

“How pretty!” The place was filled with common flowers like lilies and carnations. The water-lily seemed exceptionally beautiful and special, making Tong Hua turn his head to look at it several times.

“Get well soon,” Gu Xie said.

Tong Hua’s eyes curled as he smiled. “Where did this water-lily come from?”

It was not the water-lily season.

“There are people at home who like to mess around with these things. We have grown a pond full of water-lilies. As compared to the ones outside, this water-lily can last longer. If you change the water once every two days, you will be able to appreciate it for a longer time.”

This was the longest speech Lin Xiaojuan had ever heard Gu Xie make.

“Thank you, uncle.” Tong Hua was sweet with words.

Everyone was speechless…

Lin Xiaojuan’s cheeks flushed the moment she heard ‘uncle’ as if she was on the verge of exploding. She got up hurriedly and said, “I-I’ll get you some water!”

She got up a little too hastily, and the corners of Gu Xie’s lips curled up. Tong Hua smiled at him, and there was a glimmer of playfulness in his amorous eyes. Gu Xie smiled. Lin Xiaojuan had returned with the glass of water and placed it beside Gu Xie.

Shen Qianshu thought, If Gu Xie was really so mindful, then he would be so much better than Yan Jianming.

Her Xiaojuan would finally have someone to marry.

This person clearly looked like a loyal man.

Shen Qianshu loved the water-lily as well. It had a nice meaning: always peaceful. Lin Xiaojuan felt rather uncomfortable alongside them. That day, Gu Xie had wanted to speak to her in private, but he had not even had a chance to speak when Ah Da phoned her. She then left hastily without a chance to bid him goodbye. It was really impolite of her.

Shen Qianshu and Gu Xie were not familiar with one another. They had some awkward small talk, and Tong Hua was kind to help them continue the conversation. He spoke really well and kept the conversation ongoing interestingly. Occasionally, Lin Xiaojuan would throw in some words. For some reason, she felt a little guilty and not confident whenever she faced Gu Xie.

It was a really strange feeling.

Gu Xie knew that she had not napped in the entire afternoon, so he did not wish to cause any disturbance. When he was about to leave, he noticed that Lin Xiaojuan had no intentions to send him off at all, and she was staring into blank space with a cup of water in her hand. Gu Xie asked calmly, “Xiaojuan, are you not going to send me off?”

“Huh?” Lin Xiaojuan raised up her head in confusion. Why do I have to send you off? I still have to come up after. It would be convenient for both of us if we just said goodbye to one another. Isn’t that better?

“Oh…” She responded after thinking a bit.

She thought that way, but her actions had already betrayed her as she put down the cup of water and began to send Gu Xie out the door. The mother and son in the room watched their interaction, and they were overjoyed. They both believed that Movie King Gu Xie indeed had a crush on Xiaojuan.
