Thank you for your time.

Beaten by classmates and hospitalized ...... Didn't Qi Jiaze promise him not to bully Tao Xuan?

Is it possible that it's another student?

Qi Xingchen's heart was in turmoil, she took a few deep breaths to force herself to calm down, and called out to An Ran with her last hope: "An Ran-san, I'm going out, help me take my things back to the hotel."

An Ran : "Where are you going?"

"Hospital!"

Now that it had happened, waiting on the set was useless. He quickly ran out and jumped into the car, telling Old Qin to follow Shang Yuliang's commercial car.

Half an hour later Shang Yuliang stopped in front of the public hospital, Qi Xingchen followed him out of the car and ran after him to the sixth floor of the hospital--

In the fourth ward on the sixth floor, a boy is lying on a hospital bed receiving fluids, his eyes closed, unable to see what his condition is.

Tao Tao sits on the edge of the bed, his eyes red, asking about the boy beside him who wears the same school uniform as Tao Xuan.

Worst of all, there's a third person in the center of the room.

With a black T-shirt, overalls, and high-top Martin boots with his signature granny grey hair, Qi Xingchen is recognizable from the back.

"Classmate," Tao Tao's voice trembled, "did you send Tao Xuan here?"

"Sister, it's me."

"Do you know why he fainted?"

Hearing this question, the male student seemed to be very indignant, and with a heavy "hmph", he turned to point at Qi Jiaze:

"He hit it with a basketball!"

He hit it with a basketball ......

Qi Xingchen instantly froze in place, not daring to imagine how an episode that had obviously been avoided could still happen!

Just like the last time Zhou Yu came to "Poor Traveler" as a flying guest, if he didn't take care of Zhou Yu in advance, Qi Yuji might have turned into a vicious cannon fodder and made trouble for Tao Tao everywhere.

Could it be that ...... Is it true that the plot cannot be changed?

Qi Xingchen was dumbfounded for a few seconds, but Shang Yuliang had already entered the hospital room before him.

Seeing his classmates testify against Qi Jiaze, Shang Yuliang looked unkind and educated, "My child, you don't learn at a young age, how can you just hit others?"

"I didn't hit!" Qi Jiaze yelled in defense, "I just, just threw a ball at him!"

"What throw? You just smashed it! If you didn't use force, Tao Xuan couldn't have passed out in one go!" The male student's exasperated voice was close to a growl.

"What's the difference between throwing and smashing, no matter how you try to whitewash it, Tao Xuan is already lying there," Shang Yuliang frowned, "When you make a mistake, you have to admit it, don't lie, lying children are even more hateful."

"...... I didn't lie!" Qi Jiaze's fists were clenched, the veins on her small arms were unusually visible, "I'm right is right, I won't admit to something I didn't do, why don't you believe me!"

Qi Jiaze uttered the words in a shout, with an imperceptible tremor at the end.

"You don't wear a school uniform, you dye your hair, you smoke, you fight, you drive a sports car, just like you ......" The male student paused for a moment, "With rotten students like you, who would believe you, does anyone in our school believe you?"

"You--" Qi Jiaze was so furious that she could no longer control herself and brought up her fists to charge at the male student!

The male student was so scared that he stumbled a few steps and almost bumped into Tao Tao. Shang Yuliang saw this and stepped between Qi Jiaze and the male student -

"Jiaze!"

Just as Qi Jiaze was about to charge forward regardless, he heard a voice that was too familiar to be true.

He lowered his fists and turned in the direction the voice had come from, his lips pursed into a straight line before he spoke after a few seconds, "Brother ......"

The sound of "brother" was like a kitten that opened its fur and prepared for battle, but when it saw its master, it lowered its tail, put away the tips of its paws, and let out a meow to express its aggression.

Qi Xingchen's heart shrunk with it.

"Mr. Shang, Ms. Tao Tao, his name is Qi Jiaze, he's my brother," Qi Xingchen held Qi Jiaze back and turned to the male student, "Have you paid the medical bills?"

The male student was in shock, seeing Qi Jiaze was stopped, only to palpitate and pat his chest, "ambulance fees paid, hanging water and bed fees have not been paid."

"Jiaze, you go help Tao Xuan pay the bill." Qi Xingchen commanded in a low voice.

"...... Brother, you don't believe me either?" Qi Jiaze was anxious.

"Go!" Qi Xingchen sounded a little heavier.

Everyone in the room now doesn't believe Qi Jiaze, given what the male student has said, and if he forces an explanation that is seen as rather biased in favor of his brother, Tao Tao and Shang Yuliang are unlikely to believe him.

Moreover, if you just look at his appearance, Qi Jiaze really doesn't look like the kind of student who is at peace with himself, and Shang Yuliang is older, so it's normal for him to be prejudiced against Qi Jiaze.

This is a matter of finding evidence and then slowly infiltrating it.

Qi Jiaze heard her brother being mean to her and turned around with a wrinkled face to go out to do the procedure. Qi Xingchen walked to the hospital bed and bent down to observe Tao Xuan.

Immediately after, he realized that Tao Xuan's looks were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

...... By the way, isn't that, isn't that the boy Qi Jiaze almost hit with his car the day he came back from Poor Traveler!

...... It turns out that what he thought he could avoid, fate had already planned for him.

Tao Xuan, now lying in his hospital bed, is the greatest mockery of fate.

Qi Xingchen composed himself and suppressed the thoughts in his mind, carefully observing Tao Xuan's state.

The body was thin and pale, with visible edema on the exposed hand and a small red rash visible under the open collar of the hospital gown.

Some time ago Qi Xingchen checked the symptoms of SLE, and all the indications are that Tao Xuan's disease should have entered the active stage and is getting worse.

He took a deep breath and straightened up, "Classmate, thank you for sending Tao Xuan to the hospital. I'll have my driver take you back to school first, and he'll pay for all the expenses you spent."

"No," Tao Tao slowed down a bit, "Xingchen, don't bother, I'll just pay for the medical bills myself."

"Whether Jiaze did or didn't do anything to Tao Xuan, he caused this incident and I should be held responsible."

What he said was rather cryptic, but it also showed that he did not admit that Qi Jiaze had hit Tao Xuan.

Shang Yuliang "tsk".

Qi Xingchen ignored him and went to the door to make a call to Old Qin to come up to pick up the male student, and instructed him to find a chance to find out the male student's name and address and other information on the way.

Five minutes later, Old Qin came up to pick up the male student, and Tao Tao, Qi Xingchen and Shang Yuliang were the only three people left in the ward.

"Sister Tao Tao ......" Qi Xingchen opens her mouth and tries to apologize to her for her brother.

Tao Tao but interrupted, "It's okay Xingchen, since he's your brother, I won't pursue it."

When Tao Tao said so, Qi Xingchen was quite relieved, at least for a short period of time, the crisis was over.

He Yu Guang glanced to Shang Yuliang.

The skeptical, disdainful look on Shang Yuliang's face was quite obvious.

Shang Yuliang is not to blame, in the minds of people of their age, Qi Jiaze, as a student, dressed like this is equivalent to hooligans, punks.

Who would believe a punk?

In order to keep Qi Jiaze from coming back and offending Shang Yuliang, he sent a message to Qi Jiaze telling his brother to go straight home after paying the fee.

Immediately after that, he called and contacted a private hospital, and by the time Tao Xuan was transferred to the private hospital, had his tests done, chose a nurse, and finished his hospitalization, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Tao Xuan's vital signs are stable and his life is not in danger for the time being.

Seeing Qi Xingchen's busy schedule, Shang Yuliang went back to the set. Tao Tao, as the lead actress, understands the urgency of the shoot and after seeing how professional the caregivers are, she also took three steps back to the hotel.

After more than four hours, Qi Xingchen wiped his sweaty hands and finally took some time to ask about the situation, dialing Qi Jiaze's number.

"Brother." The voice on the other end of the line was muffled.

Qi Xingchen froze, "Jiaze, you're still at home, aren't you, I'll go back for you now."

"No, I'm outside the hospital."

"You've been waiting for over four hours?"

"Well ......" Qi Jiaze paused, "Brother, I really wasn't lying."

Probably waiting for too long, the teenager was full of aggression suppressed, the end voice trembled, the last word was a little inaudible.

Qi Xingchen frowned and asked the caregiver to make sure Tao Xuan was taken care of before leaving the hospital.

Qi Jiaze's Lamborghini is parked in the corner and Qi Xingchen opens the door.

The ashtray in the car is full of cigarette butts, and the whole space is full of smoke. Qi Xingchen fanned it twice, but it didn't clear up, instead, he was choked and kept coughing.

Qi Jiaze hears the coughing and hastily puts out the cigarette at her fingertips and turns on the circulatory system.

When the smoke cleared, Qi Xingchen realized that the teenager's hair was disheveled, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his chin was raised upward to hide his aggression.

Qi Xingchen gets in the passenger seat, "Jiaze."

"You scold me."

"I don't scold you," Qi Xingchen said in a soft tone, "I believe you."

Qi Jiaze was already prepared to be scolded, but when she heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds, then she reached out and grabbed Qi Xingchen's arm, "Then why did you ask me to pay the fee just now?"

"I'm your brother, if I insisted on bailing you out without proof, do you think they'd believe me? They'd just think I'm protecting my pups."

Qi Jiaze: "......"

He hesitated for a moment and confirmed, "Brother, do you really believe me, not comfort me?"

"Sure, or I'll force you to apologize on the spot."

Qi Xingchen helped him smooth out his messy hair, "Don't dwell on that, tell me about the process."

Learning that his brother believed in him, Qi Jiaze's mood took a roller coaster-like 360-degree turn, but his expression was still tugging, "Do you remember that I promised you that I'd cover him, so this afternoon I was playing basketball with my brothers at the basketball court, and he was passing by the side of the court, and I felt sorry for him that he didn't have any friends or company to play with, so I asked him if he wanted to play with me, and by the way, let the other people on the playground know that he was my friend, so that he wouldn't be bullied. others know that he is my friend, so as to save him from being bullied."

"He ended up standing still and not saying anything, and I wasn't sure if he didn't want to pay attention to me or if he was acquiescing, so I threw the ball to him. Which know ...... Which knew that he was like a porcelain doll and was actually touched by the ball!"

"I really didn't throw hard, I swear! I threw the ball gently for fear of hurting him!"

So that's what happened, Qi Xingchen sighed. Qi Jiaze's intention was good, but it probably happened to coincide with Tao Xuan's discomfort, which caused a mess.

But it would also prove that everyone in the QI family is still in control of the plot right now, either that or it could never be so coincidental.

"Jiaze," Qi Xingchen said, "does the boy who brought Tao Xuan to the hospital have a grudge against you?"

"Cui Hao," Qi Jiaze said in a rather disdainful tone, "he stole a classmate's game console in the classroom, and I caught him and beat him up. I thought that the game machine is not a few dollars, has not said out, I did not expect him today actually framed me, really fucking stupid, disgusting!"

He wanted to go on, but Qi Xingchen quickly stopped him and continued, "How are Cui Hao's grades?"

"He's a good student, he's a member of the study committee in our class, and the teachers especially like him."

Hearing this, Qi Xingchen understood.

Cui Hao must have hated Qi Jiaze, and when he got the chance, he deliberately framed Qi Jiaze for hitting people.

Not only today, it is expected that when the school deals with this vicious 丨 incident tomorrow, the teacher will also choose to listen to the testimony of the study committee and put the fault on Qi Jiaze.

Qi Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "Jiaze, you have to go to class tomorrow or the teacher will think you're weak-minded. And anyone who tries to force you to admit your mistake, you have to stick to it like you did today."

"Because you're right, you know," Qi Xingchen laughs, "You're doing great."

.

Qi Jiaze was coaxed by her brother to be happy and whistled Qi Xingchen back to the hotel.

Before getting off the bus, he asked Qi Xingchen, "What happened to Tao Xuan, do I have to go to the hospital to take care of him?"

"You?" Qi Xingchen raised his eyebrows, "Forget it, it's not certain who will take care of who. I've hired an escort, you don't have to think about it. By the way--"

Qi Xingchen paused, "His illness causes him to have numb senses, lack of concentration, and suicidal tendencies, so if you want to visit him, you must have a good attitude."

"Uh-huh uh-huh!" Qi Jiaze nodded vigorously.

Qi Xingchen got out of the car and ran back to the hotel, and when he went upstairs, he told the caregiver to notify him as soon as Tao Xuan woke up.

Swiping open the door with the room card, An Ran, who had fallen asleep waiting, got up and inquired, "Have you had dinner?"

"Nope."

"I tossed a salad, come over and eat it."

Qi Xingchen did not get tired in the afternoon, and his stomach was deflated with hunger, so he sat down on the sofa with a big horse and picked up his plate and took a big bite of grass.

Halfway through the meal, An Ran chimed in, "The heat of Bai Ye's gossip is down."

"...... Well," Qi Xingchen winked, "he responded?"

"No, it's not in his character to respond, and even if you hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have done any explaining."

Yes, it is true that he, Ai Dou, is of such a nature that he never takes falsehoods seriously.

Before his top flow status, he was even a singer, rapper, dancer, and songwriter.

He attracts fans with his work, not public opinion or gossip, he doesn't need to care that much.

Qi Xingchen didn't answer, and An Ran asked, "Did Bai Ye contact you?"

"No, I don't think ...... I don't know," Qi Xingchen suddenly loses interest in eating and puts down his plate, "I was too busy this afternoon, I didn't check my cell phone."

After that, he got up and went to the bathroom and turned on the bathtub faucet. Almost five minutes later, he heard the door close and An Ran was gone.

He crouched down next to the tub and silently watched as the tub water rose inch by inch.

What he said to An Ran just now was true, and as he was so focused on dealing with Tao Xuan in the afternoon, he didn't pay attention to the cell phone messages.

Will Bai Ye contact him?

When you see him helping to dispel rumors, you should be polite and thankful.

What about beyond that, he ...... Will explain?

Qi Xingchen hugged his knees until the water was almost full and he lay back into the tub and reached for his cell phone.

When I opened Twitter, the flood of messages almost didn't jam my phone!

Most of them were private messages, and he clicked on a few at random.

[Ahhhhhhhh I'm getting real! Xingchen, promise me you'll be nice to your old attacker!

[The star was locked up last night, I swallowed the key, I wish you all the best of luck.]

Thank you for standing up for Bai Ye and refuting the rumors. All the best.

I'm so curious about what you guys did at the hotel. Was it really just a play-by-play, heh heh heh?

Qi Xingchen looked at the screen and cried and laughed, not realizing that he came out to dispel the rumors, which in turn became an orgy for CP fans.

He clicked on the hot search list again, and as An Ran had said, the Bai Ye scandal's hot search slipped to the bottom half of the list. After all, his evidence was so convincing that the storm would probably be over by morning.

Turning off Twitter, he hesitated for a long time with his finger hovering over the WeChat little green man icon.

Finally, I pressed the button, but fortunately, Bai Ye's avatar showed a "2" next to it, proving that there were two unread messages.

He took a deep breath and tapped on the chat screen.

The first one, Bo: [Thank you for clarifying for me, I won't use it next time, it's easy to attract blackmail.]

Second one, Bo: [I brought you a midnight snack, come to the back of the hotel.]

Late night snacks ......

Qi Xingchen's eyes widened violently and he raised his cell phone to his eyes.

The first was posted at noon, the second at ...... Half an hour ago!

Has Bai Ye left yet?

Qi Xingchen typed in a panic: [Sorry, I came back late and just saw it]

"Zip..."

The other person replied very quickly, "It's okay, I just happened to be squinting for a while.

The meaning of "squinted for a while" is ....... Is Bai Ye still downstairs?

He's still ...... He hasn't left?

Qi Xingchen scrambled to his feet, wiped the water off his body, put on his shirt and pants, and shuffled down the stairs in his slippers.

Afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi again, Bai Ye's nanny car is parked at the back door this time. Qi Xingchen, find the target, a gazelle jump--

Bai Ye caught his arms, "Slow down, why do you panic every time."

"I, I wasn't afraid that you would wait too long." Qi Xingchen replied in the same way as the day before.

"That's all right, I'm going to wait until ten o'clock and won't leave before then."

Bai Ye said, found the small fan hair slightly wet half. The line of sight moved down, this person actually wearing slippers out, round toes soaked to wrinkled, white to almost transparent on the back of the foot a red mark is unusually obvious.

Bai Ye's tone was unpleasant, "How did it happen?"

It should be that he ran too hastily just now and accidentally bumped somewhere. Qi Xingchen's feet flinched back and lied, "The shoes don't fit, it's okay, I'll just change my shoes tomorrow."

Bai Ye snorted.

However, it is only a red bump, no bleeding, Bai Ye did not look deeply into it, lifted the lunch box from the front seat and handed it to him, "This fish congee is good, I packed one for you. It may be cold now, so go back and ask your assistant to heat it up before you eat it."

"...... No," Qi Xingchen immediately opened the lunch box, "it's too hot to eat, it's just the right amount of grass I'm eating tonight, so I'll take it and slip it through the cracks again."

Bai Ye was ready to leave after delivering the late-night snacks, but as a result, the little fan started in his car, so he couldn't leave and leaned back in his seat, admiring the other person's eating.

After admiring him for a while, he realized that the man was ostensibly looking at the bowl, but was actually stealing glances at him every minute or two, as if he were holding something back that he wanted to say but didn't dare.

"Do you want to ask me something?" Bai Ye guessed.

Qi Xingchen : "......"

Why he can see it!

Qi Xingchen Of course he wants to ask, he's suffocating! He opened his mouth ...... The moment before the exit, but suddenly panicked.

He was afraid that the result Bai Ye said would not be the answer he wanted.

The words took a hard turn, "You're supposed to finish filming tomorrow, right?"

Bai Ye "hmmm", "Finish tomorrow morning, rough it over in the afternoon, and if there's anything you're not happy with make it up the day after tomorrow."

"What style is the new song and music video going for this time?"

In the middle of the day, the little fan stammered in order to let him dramatize, Bai Ye smiled, "This ...... I can't tell you at the moment."

Qi Xingchen put on a regretful expression and buried his head to continue eating. After slowly scraping the last grain of rice, he wiped his mouth, "Delicious, that ...... I'm leaving."

Bai Ye loses his smile, "Why do you act like you came to a fast food restaurant, eat quickly and leave quickly."

Qi Xingchen bit her lower lip and asked rhetorically, "What should I say then?"

Intuitively, Bai Ye felt that the little fan's tone of voice was strange, and seemed to be unhappy.

Is he mad at him for not dramatizing the new song?

Bai Ye reached out, his index finger resting on Qi Xingchen's chin, his thumb gently sweeping from the corner of his mouth to help him wipe away any remaining liquid.

"For some special reason, I really can't say," Bai Ye negotiated with him, "Will you wait a little longer?"

With the warmth of his fingers, Qi Xingchen's senses instantly focused on the place touched by Bai Ye, so clearly that he could even feel the direction of the other's fingertip lines.

As if burned by something, Qi Xingchen pushed the car door open with a "clunk", "Thanks for the snack, I, I'm leaving."

.

Until the elevator door opened, the heat at the corner of Qi Xingchen's mouth still hadn't dropped. With his head down, he walked quickly towards the room, almost bumping into the oncoming people.

"Sorry sorry sorry ......" He hurriedly apologized and looked up to see an acquaintance, "Sister Tao Tao, you're here to see the business director?"

"...... Yes, get him to match the book," Tao Tao scrutinized, "Xingchen, do you have a fever, your face is so red."

"Probably windblown, all right. You're just in time, I was just going to look for you."

As business was of the utmost importance, Qi Xingchen put away the chaos in his head and repeated Qi Jiaze's words.

Tao Tao nodded after listening, "I know Xiao Xuan has not been well, I don't blame your brother, it's okay."

Despite her words, Qi Xingchen could hear that her tone was very forced.

Indeed, there is no evidence at this point, and anything that is said falls into the category of empty words.

Nowadays the fastest way to solve the problem is to wait for Tao Xuan to wake up and ask for the instant truth to come out.

Either that or gather evidence from the students who were present at the playground, anyway, Qi Jiaze did nothing wrong and sooner or later the misunderstanding will be cleared up.

"Sister Tao Tao," Qi Xingchen said sincerely, "You give me a few days, and I will definitely give you and Tao Xuan an explanation."

"...... Okay, shooting is important, don't force it. By the way Xingchen," Tao Tao paused, "there's something I still have to thank you for."

"You're welcome," Qi Xingchen waved her hand, "I know the director of that private hospital, they'll take good care of Tao Xuan."

"...... That's one thing, but I'll say another."

Qi Xingchen's eyes were blank. He thought Tao Tao wanted to thank him for his help in contacting the best private hospital. Other than this, he didn't seem to have helped Tao Tao lately.

"What is it?"

Tao Tao : "Thanks for coming out and clearing the air for Night about the tweets."

If he helped Bai Ye, what does it have to do with Tao Tao? Qi Xingchen was even more confused.

"...... Oh, I forgot to tell you." Seeing his confusion, Tao Tao explained, "After helping you with your play on the 22nd, he went to my place for a while."

Tao Tao lowered his voice: "If the media found out, we wouldn't be able to talk about it, luckily we have you."
