"Good." Tao Ran said, "I’ll see you when I get back. When tomorrow comes, I will definitely be different from today."
Guan Dao was amused by him. He liked such a young, earnest and energetic guy.
Long Qiu learned from the staff that Cui Xiao was terribly scolded today, so she called Tao Ran. "Little Apple, where are you?"
Tao Ran said, "I'm at home."
"How could you be at home now?” Long Qiu hated that iron could not become steel. He had to strike while the iron was hot! "I already know that Cui Xiao suffered a lot of grievances on the set today. At this time, you should be by her side to comfort and accompany her, and to let her have a better impression of you."
Grandfather, this woman is too frightening. Tao Ran touched the cold sweat on his forehead, pretending to be weak. "President Long, I also want to ah, but I am feeling sick, I'm so sorry."
Long Qiu asked, "Weren’t you still perfectly fine back in the studio?”
"It rained today. I got drenched and started feeling uncomfortable when I got back." Tao Ran continued pretending to be weak.
"Then you should have a good rest," said Long Qiu. "I'll call Cui Xiao to scold her."
Grandfather, Cui Xiao and Bai Shaohui should be having dinner by now ah. But Tao Ran couldn't let her know that.
"Ms. Long~" Tao Ran said with a weak voice and continued flirtatiously, "I am so uncomfortable."
Long Qiu felt goosebumps rise on her skin and said indifferently, "If you feel uncomfortable, go take medicine."
"There is no medicine at home, and I don’t have relatives and friends around. When I'm sick, I can only lie down on the bed miserably, until it goes away." Tao Ran said pitifully, "Come and see me, you’re the only friend I have here."
Long Qiu: "We are not friends. I will tell Tony to drop by."
After Long Qiu hung up, Tao Ran was taken aback and called Tony immediately.
"Hi~ This is Tony."
"It’s Tao Ran." Tao Ran said, "I'm calling to ask you about my car and the driver?”
"Oh, that. I’m already choosing a car for you." Tony grumbled. "In order to take care of you better, I plan to equip you with an RV. What color do you prefer? Red or yellow?"
Tao Ran said after a moment of silence, "Can I choose white?"
"No."
"Okay, then, choose yellow."
"Oh~ that’s great dear, I like yellow too."
"Goodbye." Tao Ran hung up the phone and immediately called Long Qiu. "Ms. Long, have you contacted Tony already?"
"Tony's phone has been busy." Long Qiu said, "It will take awhile before I can call him again."
"Forget it. Tony said he was going to see his childhood sweetheart today. I’m afraid he doesn't have time to care for me." Tao Ran lied without batting an eye.
"Then, what to do?" Long Qiu frowned.
"I'm already very happy to be able to talk to you, my only friend, so I will lay on the bed alone and feel uncomfortable by myself."
Long Qiu said, "Don't say that."
Tao Ran replied, "Hey, I’m really weak, pitiful and helpless right now."
Long Qiu: "..."
Long Qiu nearly fell over. She had never seen such a person in all the years that she had lived. After hanging up the phone, she drove to Tao Ran and stopped to buy medicine when she passed by a drugstore. The clerk saw that Long Qiu was a beautiful woman, and said with extreme enthusiasm, "Beauty, what kind of medicine do you want to buy?"
Long Qiu didn't know. Tao Ran just said on the phone that he was weak and uncomfortable, but didn't say what was uncomfortable, so she didn't know what to buy.
"Hello." Long Qiu thought for a while and said, "What kind of medicine should I take after I get caught in the rain and feel sick?"
“Have you caught a ‘cold’?" The clerk asked, "Do you have a fever?"
He couldn't get up while lying in bed. He must have a fever. Thinking of this, Long Qiu said, "He might have a fever."
Seeing that Long Qiu didn't seem to be sick from her appearance, the clerk asked, "Buying medicine for your boyfriend?"
Long Qiu said with a cold face, "Not a boyfriend."
An understanding smile showed on the face of the clerk. This aunt emphasized that it is not a boyfriend, which means that it is not a family member such as a brother or father, which means that the beauty in front of her is buying medicine for a man who is not a family member.
Long Qiu was uncomfortable with his smile, and her mood worsened. "Is there a problem?"
"No, it's okay. 132 yuan in total." The clerk put all the medicine in the bag and said, "You should read the instructions for eating the medicine. Remember to have him drink plenty of hot water."
Long Qiu walked out carrying a bag of medicine, and then realized afterwards that this seemed to be the first time in her life that she bought medicine by herself.
I blame that Little Apple for being so annoying. Otherwise, why would I have to enter this kind of place and be laughed at by that strange clerk?
Tao Ran was lying on the bed, unsure if Long Qiu would come. According to Long Qiu's personality in the book, she basically didn't care about anything except Bai Shaohui. The relationship between Cui Xiao and Bai Shaohui hadn't progressed to that level yet, so they must not be disturbed by Long Qiu.
Long Qiu stood at the door of the apartment with impatience showing on her face and reached out to ring the doorbell.
"Dingdong——! Dingdong——!"
Tao Ran shuddered all over, sweat on his forehead. He gently peeked through the peephole, and the person outside was indeed Long Qiu. Mother, why did she come so fast?
Feeling complicated, Tao Ran hurriedly prepared a hot water bottle for himself, and then lay on the bed and put the hot water bottle on his forehead. Long Qiu rang the doorbell for a long time but no one came to open the door. Thinking Tao Ran might have passed out from his fever, she took out her phone and dialed his number.
"I'm looking into the distance, above the moon..."
Tao Ran stared at the phone nervously, waiting for the phone to ring for a long time before answering, "Hey..."
"Open the door quickly." Long Qiu's cold voice sounded. "I'm at the door.
".... Oh.” Tao Ran's weak voice said, “Give me a second...”
He thought of ways to let Long Qiu stay a little later until evening, at least not to allow her disturb Cui Xiao and Bai Shaohui. While dangling out of the bed, he reached out to mess up his hairstyle, then opened the door for Long Qiu.
When the door opened, the first thing Long Qiu saw was the messy dull hair on Tao Ran's head. It looked shaggy. What was the matter with her? She actually wanted to touch it a little?
Tao Ran was moved and said, "Ms. Long, you are here? I'm so happy."
Long Qiu walked in and said, "I bought you medicine, which can cure the common cold and reduce fever. By the way, do you have a fever?"
“I don't know." Tao Ran looked like he was about to fall. "It's possible."
Long Qiu frowned and looked at him, and then stretched out her hand on Tao Ran's forehead as if embarrassed.
"It's very hot. You have a fever." Long Qiu said, "Take your medicine quickly."
Huh? Why did she touch the hair on the top of my head when she took her hand down? In order to delay the time, Tao Ran leaned against the wall and said, "I feel dizzy, and there is no hot water at home."
Long Qiu was silent for a while, but said helplessly, "Go and lie on the bed. I'll boil water."
Although it didn't take much to boil water, this was the first time in her life that Long Qiu boiled water for someone else, let alone taking care of them. She felt a little awkward. Tao Ran was lying on the bed in the bedroom, listening to Long Qiu outside. He thought Long Qiu was very good. Although she was proud and acted cold, she was still very cute. If it hadn't been for her love for Bai Shaohui, she wouldn’t have lost herself and ended up in prison.
When the water finished boiling, Long Qiu poured a cup for Tao Ran and handed him the medicine. "Take the medicine."
Tao Ran: "Hot."
What does that mean? Long Qiu’s head was a mess. Does he want me to blow it for him? The two of them stared at each other for a long while, then Long Qiu stuffed the cup into Tao Ran's hand and said, "Blow it yourself."
Tao Ran: "..." I just wanted to say that the water is too hot and to take the medicine later. What on earth did your brain make up?
Tao Ran sat up and leaned a little on the pillow, holding the cup in his hand, and began to sip water. Long Qiu said, "You’ve really failed as a human being. After four years of college in this city, you don't even have a friend to call when you get sick."
Of course the original owner had friends, but now that the person had changed, there was no need to maintain a relationship with his previous friends. Tao Ran smiled and said, "Who said that I have no friends? You are my friend.”
Long Qiu raised her chin slightly and looked at Tao Ran proudly, as if saying, ‘I just sympathize with you but I would never want to be your friend.’ Tao Ran couldn't help but smile.
Long Qiu's eyes were dangerous as she said, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Tao Ran quickly changed the subject, "Miss Long, you are just so amazing. You became the CEO of Star Entertainment at such a young age."
Long Qiu sat on Tao Ran's bed. On the side, he helped him open the pill box and said, "It's not that impressive. My father is the Chairman of Star Entertainment."
"That's also very good. You are not the only one with a good dad, but there aren’t many people that can be so independent at such a young age." Tao Ran genuinely felt that she was very impressive. "Look at me, if you let me be the CEO of Starlight right now, I would definitely make a mess."
Long Qiu's mood became a little better. She could say she had a great father, but she never thought about how much she had sacrificed for the company. She had been studying and managing the company since college. She was studying when her other classmates were shopping and dating, and she was studying with the lights on when others were sleeping. After graduating and joining the company, she also faced the suspicion of the company's shareholders.
Her upbringing prevented her from raising any objections or making excuses. All she could do was work hard and use her strength to block their mouths. Others saw her infinite beauty, but they didn't know how many years it had been since she had fun.
"Thank you."
Tao Ran: "For what?"
Long Qiu said with a sullen face, "Thank you for agreeing with me."
What happened? What's wrong with this sudden feeling that Long Qiu is so cute? Ah! Ahh!! This is not good. I'm going... This is bad...
Panda Xiaomei nervously said, "What's the matter with you, host? The system detects that there is no problem with your body."
Tao Ran: "I'm going to bend... Ahhhhh..."
