Chapter 37 - Joy and Sorrow

He didnt know who this person was but Song Yu obviously felt Li Zhao and this persons closeness.

h.e.l.lo. The man on the phone screen was sitting in an office chair with curtains behind him. It was probably because the curtains were pulled too tightly that Song Yu had a breathless feeling.

h.e.l.lo. Song Yu had been standing casually and he instantly adjusted it to a cautious att.i.tude. He had met this man who recently came to visit the crew. This person had a good relations.h.i.+p with Li Zhao.

My familys child has a simple personality. I hope The man on the mobile screen paused for a moment. His eyes didnt change at all but Song Yu inexplicably felt that the eyes of the other person could see through everything. I hope you get along well.

Previously in the crew, this friend of Li Zhao didnt talk to Song Yu but his eyes were normal. Today, he was obviously murderous. Song Yu thought of how Lu Renjia broke the explosive news on Weibo and suddenly understood. He didnt dare look Yan Ting in the eye and put the skewers in his hand on the table. Well, if there is anything then Ill come to you after the New Year break.

He was really afraid of this look.

Its fine, just wait. Li Zhao placed his phone in front of him and spoke to Yan Ting. My colleague brought some skewers. Im afraid it will go cold. Ill eat it and then call you.

En. Seeing that Li Zhaos attention was on the food, Yan Ting nodded slightly.

Li Zhao hung up the video, washed his hands and sat down. He smiled and told Song Yu, It isnt good to eat barbecue when it is cold. Come and eat it.

They werent filming tomorrow so Song Yu also brought two cans of cold beer. He opened the tinfoil wrapped around the barbecue and the entire room filled with the smell. Li Zhao didnt drink beer so he got up to grab the unfinished mineral water from the bedside table and ate happily.

You arent drinking? Song Yu looked at the lonely, forgotten beer to one side and felt that his heart was like these two cans of beer, cold.

I wont drink. Li Zhao shook his head.

Song Yu looked at Li Zhao and didnt drink the beer. He also didnt eat the skewers.

Im curious about why youre helping me. Song Yu remembered how Li Zhao introduced him to his friend.

Colleagues. It wasnt close but wasnt too unfamiliar. Thats all.

Li Zhao pointed right in front of him.

Song Yu wondered, What do you mean?

The midnight snacks are real, the milk tea is real, the cakes are real. Li Zhao touched his stomach. You dont know that when I was poor and hungry, every night I couldnt sleep from hunger. You sent food and it was life-saving medicine for me.

Song Yu,

No, he just wanted to feed this person until Li Zhao was fat.

It isnt exploitative. Li Zhao put the skewer stick into the garbage bag. You fed me meat and I helped you clarify. There is no problem.

Song Yu was hesitant. He really couldnt imagine that in this era, there were still people who were too poor to eat dinner. Since he was a child, he had lived freely and never felt hungry. Yet for the sake of a few meals, this person endured him for so long.

Song Yu was very clear that his temper was unpleasant but he didnt care. Regardless of his bad temper, there was always someone around him to please him and praise him. As to whether these people were sincere, he didnt care. It was just like a man never caring what cats and dogs thought of him.

You Song Yu felt his words were lacking and for the first time in his life, he felt guilty. This guilt was the size of a human hair but it was extremely rare for Song Yu to feel like this.

You arent eating? Li Zhao interrupted Song Yus words.

What to eat? Do you think Im unable to manage my body like you? Song Yu was somewhat irritable. Li Zhao, I owe you another favour.

Didnt you agree that we have a contract for night snacks for the duration of the show? Li Zhao looked up at him with a supper. After the drama, you dont owe me anymore.

Song Yu sneered. Am I so cheap?

Otherwise, give me 10 million. Li Zhao was a very pragmatic young man.

Get lost. Song Yu picked up the two cans of beer Li Zhao didnt drink and let angrily.

Once Song Yu left, Li Zhao quickly video called Yan Ting and chatted while eating.

Your colleague is gone? Yan Ting heard no other noise from the room.

Hes gone. Li Zhaos mood was very good as he thought of how he was going back tomorrow. Why are you still working overtime? Or tomorrow, shall I go to your company to pick you up?

Okay. Yan Ting agreed without any hesitation.

Well, its a deal. Li Zhao finished all the skewers and tie the bamboo sticks together. Then go home early tonight to sleep.

Yes. Yan Ting hung up the phone and called Special a.s.sistant Qin.

Get the car ready. Im going back.

Yes, Sir. Special a.s.sistant Qin was inwardly delighted. Sir, Mr Lis crew should be on holiday?

Yan Ting glanced at him. Qin Xiao, since when have you been nosy?

Special a.s.sistant Qin saw that Yan Ting didnt want to talk about Li Zhao and quickly said, Im sorry, Sir.

Yan Ting ignored him. Yan Ting picked up his coat and went into the elevator. It wasnt until the elevator closed that he suddenly said, Hes coming back.

There was no need for Yan Ting to explain the ident.i.ty of him. Qin Xiao knew who it was. He looked at his boss blank face and cautiously reminded, Sir, you have an appointment with Dr Sun today.

His appointment time with Dr Sun was at 8 p.m. and it was now 10 p.m. Qin Xiao didnt know if Yan Ting had really forgotten or if he rejected meeting Dr Sun.

Yan Ting turned to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao bowed his head and didnt dare to look at such eyes. However, in order to look after Yan Tings health, he plucked up the courage to say, Sir, it will soon be New Years Day.

The elevator slowly descended and there were no sounds in the elevator. The elevator made a sound and the doors opened. Yan Ting strode to the side of his car and waited for the bodyguard by his side to open the door for him.

Sir?

Go He paused. There were some things he didnt want Li Zhao to know.

Go see Dr Sun.

Dr Sun had waited a long time and thought Yan Ting wouldnt come. The moment Yan Ting appeared at his door, he had a moment of pleasant surprise and found it really unexpected. However, he didnt show it. He welcomed Yan Ting into the door and was faced with the patients long silence.

Can you tell me what your symptoms have been like these days?

Yan Tings expression was indifferent. Still the same.

What about the frequency of appearances?

Yan Ting was silent.

Mr Ting, your symptoms are becoming worse.Dr Sun stopped his pen. I suggest you find a place to cultivate yourself for a period of time and try to have less contact with others.

Once the patients symptoms became worse, he might not be able to distinguish between illusion and reality. This wasnt good for the patient and the people around him.

Are you implying that Im a madman? Yan Ting looked at Dr Sun.

No, youre healthy. Dr Sun gently shook his head Its just that your brain as a little cold. If you cooperate with the treatment then you will soon heal. Please dont feel psychological pressure.

In order to s.h.i.+ft Yan Tings mood, Dr Sun took the initiative to mention his friend. Ive recently watched Mr Lis TV series and found that he is a very interesting person. Can you tell me about him?

The moment he spoke, he found that the patients eyes had changed and become aggressive. The other side hid it well but as a professional doctor, Dr Sun could distinguish the emotion of the patient.

He was a bit nervous. The patients symptoms had become complicated. Although Yan Ting had emotions, they were only directed to a single person. He was still paranoid and possessive. If this continued, something could happen.

Of course, it doesnt matter if you dont want to talk. He didnt want the patient to treat himself as an enemy so Dr Sun smiled and changed the topic. If you dont want to talk, Ill sit here with you for a while.

Hes fine. Yan Ting looked at Dr Sun. Very good.

Of course, because youre his friend.

No, Im his best friend. Yan Tings thick and long eyelashes lowered.

Dr Suns hand trembled as he smiled and waited for Yan Ting to open his mouth. However, Yan Ting no longer wanted to communicate with him. Then a sound came from his mobile phone. Originally, phones shouldnt be brought into this room but Yan Ting was different from others. The fact that Yan Ting stepped into this room was already a success.

He was being paid high fees and Dr Suns medical ethics didnt allow himself to be irresponsible to the patient. He guessed that the text message shouldve been sent by a friend named Li Zhao. It was because Mr Ting had completely hidden his aggressiveness after reading the message.

Yan Ting told him, Its time for me to go back and say goodnight to him.

Mr Tingl, Dr Sun called out to Yan Ting. If you have anything you need, please call me at any time. Im available 24 hours a day.

Yan Ting didnt speak.

Then I wish you and Mr Li Zhao a Happy New Year.

Thank you. Yan Ting picked up the coat next to him and strode out.

After Yan Ting left, Dr Sin dialed Qin Xiaos phone.

Mr Qin, Mr Tings illness has become more complicated. Dr Sun sighed. His spirit seems to be in an attack state.

How did this happen? Qin Xiao was very anxious. Didnt you say that his mental state has been very stable?

There is something out there that stimulated him. Dr Sun explained. Mr Ring is very defensive and I cant carry out hypnotherapy on him. Mr Ting has finally responded to the external environment but his emotions are morbid and twisted. Ive very worried about Mr Lis safety.

You can rest a.s.sured that I will pay attention to his safety. Qin Xiao comforted himself. You said that Li Zhao accompanying him will make him better, right?

I hope so. Dr Sun hung up and sighed for a long time.

A young man in the entertainment industry, how long could he be friends with someone of the same gender? People changed with age and environment.

These are yours. Li Zhao gave his New Years gift to Zhang Xiaoyuan and the rest was stuffed back into the box. There are for the people of the studio. Brother Xiaoyuan, please help me give it to them.

Zhang Xiaoyuan glanced at the box full of gifts. There was the feeling of his baby running away with others, leaving the old man alone in the empty room. He felt some heartache. What about this?

He pointed to a small box.

This is for my familys Ting Ting. Li Zhao placed the box on his knees.

Im not going to rob you. Zhang Xiaoyuan opened the gift bag Li Zhao gave him. There were things suitable for the elderly and it was obviously prepared for his parents.

Zhao Zhao, thank you. Zhang Xiaoyuan wasnt polite with Li Zhao. Come to my house when you have time. My parents talk about you every day, turning my ears into a coc.o.o.n.

Ill come after the second day of the new year. Li Zhao smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhao, today are you really spending time with Yan Ting? Zhang Xiaoyuan wasnt at ease. Do you want to go to my home?

No, Im fine. Li Zhao shook his head. He put on a hat and mask and got off the car while holding a box. I have made an appointment with Ting Ting. Now it is nearly 6 in the afternoon. Im going to pick him up from work.

Youre also picking him up from work. If I didnt know better, I would think Ting Ting was your girlfriend. Zhang Xiaoyuan threw the scarf from the pa.s.sengers seat to Li Zhao. Be careful on the road. Dont let people recognize you.

Goodbye. Once Li Zhaos car arrived, he waved to Zhang Xiaoyuan and entered the car.

Sir? Qin Xiao found that the doc.u.ments in Yan Tings hands were still for a long time. Yan Ting looked at him and handed him the doc.u.ments.

Sir, did something happen? Qin Xiao asked cautiously.

No. Yan Ting slowly placed the lid on the pen. The child is coming to pick me up from work.

At this moment, Qin Xiao saw the emotions of an ordinary person from Yan Ting. It was the mood of satisfaction. Qin Xiao didnt know if he should be happy or worried.

The author has something to say:

At the door of the kindergarten, Baby Ting Ting carrying a schoolbag arrived early and stood there.

He proudly told his cla.s.smates, Today, someone will come pick me up.
