Online, people were speculating about the relationship between the two.
Some speculations were positive, while most were negative.
Of course, the negative ones dominated.
Xiao Jiang quickly picked up her dropped jaw and walked to the other end of Lin Jinran's hospital bed. She put the things on the table. "Sister Jinran, I've brought your change of clothes."
Lin Jinran nodded and then turned to Su Qinian. "Teacher Su, I see you haven't had a good rest. Why don't you go back and rest first? My assistant will be here to take care of me."
"Sure. I've settled all the fees. Just stay here and recover in peace. I'll come to see you after I'm done with my work later. Xiao Jiang, take good care of your artist."
Su Qinian suddenly called out Xiao Jiang's name. She was stunned, and a surge of joy welled up in her heart. She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
She never expected that Su Qinian would remember her.
"Teacher Su, don't worry. I'll take good care of Sister Jinran."
"Lin Jinran, I'm leaving."
"Bye."
After the door was completely closed, Xiao Jiang deliberately ran to the door and looked outside.
Good. Su Qinian was already out of sight.
Xiao Jiang burst into a silly laugh. "I can't believe Teacher Su remembered my name. I'm so happy."
Then she suddenly remembered that they were in the hospital ward and Lin Jinran was lying in bed waiting for her care. Xiao Jiang immediately composed herself and walked up to her.
"Sister Jinran, Teacher Su has gone far away." Xiao Jiang cleared her throat and pretended to be serious, but the smile in her eyes completely betrayed her.
Lin Jinran asked her with interest, "You like Su Qinian so much?"
Xiao Jiang shook her head so fast it was like a rattle. "No, no. I like you the most, Sister Jinran."
Lin Jinran propped her chin on one hand and squinted with a smile. "So you like Su Qinian second? Well, he is so good - looking. Anyone would like him."
"Come on, there's no such thing. I only like you, Sister Jinran. Don't tease me anymore."
Xiao Jiang pouted and complained about Lin Jinran's teasing.
"Okay, okay. I won't tease you anymore. Be a good girl, Xiao Jiang. Don't be angry."
Lin Jinran coaxed Xiao Jiang like a child.
Xiao Jiang's face flushed red. She stamped her foot. "Sister Jinran, at a time like this, you still have the mood to tease me. Do you know how crazy the internet has gone?"
"Everyone is scolding me, right?" The smile on Lin Jinran's lips faded a bit.
"Yeah, Sister Xian isn't helping you deal with this public - relations crisis either."
Sister Xian was Lin Jinran's agent.
"I'd like to see how crazy they've gone." Lin Jinran lowered her head and opened Weibo on her phone.
The private messages were exploding.
On her own homepage, her pitifully small number of fans had actually increased by hundreds of thousands, which really surprised Lin Jinran.
A simple fall and a simple hug from Su Qinian had actually led to an increase in fans.
It was a bit unexpected.
She clicked on the top - ranked hot search item.
#Su Qinian and the "Princess - Like" Lin Jinran#
"My brother shouldn't be holding other women. I'm going to cry, make a scene, and threaten to kill myself!!!"
"Lin Jinran is clearly a fame - seeker. Teacher Su is just so kind - hearted. Seeing that shameless woman Lin Jinran, he still carried her to the hospital."
"Lin Jinran, you're so lucky."
"Lin Jinran, get out. You're good - for - nothing."
"Is Teacher Su even going to give up the Best Actor award? Teacher Su, you're being foolish. Your career is the most important thing. Women are just a passing cloud."
"..."
Lin Jinran read the scolding messages and got more and more interested. The smile on her lips curled up slightly.
Xiao Jiang twitched the corner of her mouth, admiring Lin Jinran's good attitude. "Sister Jinran, aren't you really upset after reading these? They're scolding you, after all."
"Ah?" Lin Jinran's gaze fell on Xiao Jiang in front of her. She pulled her over and pointed to the message "Lin Jinran, you'd better come to me. If I can't kick out what you've been up to, it means you've covered your tracks well" with great interest.
"Look, look. Isn't this sentence really interesting and funny?"
Xiao Jiang twitched the corner of her mouth again.
She really admired Lin Jinran, whose temper was so stable.
...
After three days of recuperation in the hospital, Lin Jinran's ankle was gradually getting better. Slowly, she could get out of bed and walk on her own.
Su Qinian often came to visit Lin Jinran at night. After a day's work, he would rush to the hospital in a hurry. As long as he saw Lin Jinran within his sight, most of his fatigue would disappear.
At noon on the fourth day, Lin Jinran asked Xiao Jiang to pack up her things.
Xiao Jiang asked in confusion, "Sister Jinran, your ankle isn't fully recovered yet. Why are you leaving? And Teacher Su booked the room for five days. There's still more than a day left."
"It's okay. I don't want to trouble him. My foot is much better now. I can even get out of bed and walk. Besides, Sister Xian has arranged a dating variety show for me to start recording in a week."
Sister Xian had signed her up for the dating variety show a month ago.
Under the pretext of creating more topics.
She just didn't know if, after this incident, Sister Xian would regret her decision.
After packing up the things, Lin Jinran tore a piece of paper and wrote "Su Qinian, see you when fate allows" on it, then put it on the bedside table.
Lin Jinran put on her mask and hat. With Xiao Jiang's careful support, she and Xiao Jiang left the hospital.
They took a taxi back to the apartment.
That night, after finishing his work, Su Qinian went to the hospital with a bunch of pink lychee roses.
He remembered that Lin Jinran liked pink lychee roses the most. During the winter vacation of their senior - three year, on the commercial street in Yun City, he and she had taken a set of Hanfu photo shoots. Everyone had assumed that they were a couple.
But in the next semester, Lin Jinran... gradually changed.
...
Su Qinian came to the fifth floor of the hospital. Holding a bunch of pink lychee roses, he walked over happily.
He stood at the door, looked up, and his pupils constricted suddenly.
In the room, the hospital bed was neatly made.
The bunch of pink lychee roses in his hand fell to the ground.
Su Qinian pushed the door open suddenly and strode in. There was no one inside.
It was spotless.
There was a note on the bedside table. Su Qinian picked it up and read, "Su Qinian, see you when fate allows".
Su Qinian suddenly laughed, and he took several steps back while laughing. His dark eyes were as thick as the night.
What a "see you when fate allows", what a "see you when fate allows".
Lin Jinran... was really heartless.
He had busied himself for her, but she had chosen to leave without saying goodbye.
Making him a complete fool.
"Lin... Jin... ran..."
In the quiet hospital ward, no one answered him.
At the same time, Lin Jinran was sitting on the sofa, hugging herself.
Her phone kept vibrating. All the calls were from Su Qinian.
He had gotten her number from someone else.
It kept vibrating and vibrating.
Lin Jinran stared at it intently but didn't move.
Finally, after ringing countless times, the phone stopped calling. Lin Jinran heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Qinian, I don't want to make you end up with nothing.
