Chapter 84 Duhe
Duohe's face was as transparent as thin paper, and he looked coldly at the girl who had barged in. A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. Another sasaeng fan?
His pupils, as deep as ink, were shrouded in a dark mist.
The girl in the princess dress didn't see the impatience in his eyes. Her hair was a little messy, her eyes were fixed on the doorknob of the ward, but she was still muttering incoherently.
"Well, I see."
Duohe frowned. "What do you know?"
Is this girl hard of hearing?
"What are you doing barging into my hospital room?"
Duohe's voice was cold, and his brows were furrowed.
Is she hiding from someone?
This person wasn't a sasaeng fan; her eyes didn't have the fanaticism and terror of a sasaeng fan. On the contrary, she was very nervous.
The girl stared intently at the doorway, her eyes unwavering, a hint of tension in them.
Shen Lu clutched the dusty hem of her dress tightly, her eyes fixed on the doorknob of the ward, which remained motionless. She visibly breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and reassured herself that she had survived another terrifying day.
She smiled shyly at the man on the hospital bed who didn't look well.
"Sorry, I'm hiding at home."
Duohe pursed his lips and remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on her. "You can go out now."
Shen Lu blinked her big eyes, looking at him with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're saying," trying to get away with it.
However, the young man on the sickbed was as hard as iron, showing no intention of backing down. He stared at her without flinching, his expression cold.
"Please, just hide for a little while. I'll go back after my family leaves. It'll be over soon, please."
Shen Lu clasped her hands together, spoke in a soft voice, and looked at him with a hint of pleading in her eyes, trying to soften his heart.
You can't go out like this now; there are people right there outside. If you go out, you'll get arrested.
She...doesn't want to go back.
Upon hearing this, Duohe closed his eyes and stopped speaking, ignoring her completely.
Aren't you going to ask me why I don't want to go back?
Shen Lu found this person really strange. He didn't care about her at all and seemed to just want to kick her out. She had been wandering outside for the past few days and had witnessed a great deal of biodiversity.
Some people might deceive her because they are attracted to her beauty.
Some people might be angry at her intrusion, but surprisingly, they would soften and not chase her away.
Duohe closed her eyes and said, "It's none of my business. You can leave after they leave."
Well, I was just praising him, but it was all for nothing.
Shen Lu made a face at him childishly.
Just then, Duohe opened her eyes and saw the girl's inappropriate expression, and closed her eyes again in disgust.
Shen Lu was caught playing a prank, and she was a little embarrassed, her cheeks turning red.
People are often busiest when they're feeling awkward.
She tiptoed around, searching for a stool, only to find that the empty room didn't even have one.
This is actually a VIP ward!!!
Undeterred, she turned around again, but there it was!
She patted her slightly dirty pink skirt and stared intently at the pale-faced boy on the bed.
This person is so beautiful.
He looks somewhat familiar. Has she seen him somewhere before?
Have I seen you somewhere before?
Shen Lu has always been outspoken and can't keep anything to herself. She asked directly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Duohe frowned impatiently, the pain in his leg seeming to intensify a little.
"No."
He was concise and to the point, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Unfortunately, Shen Lu had been pampered since childhood and was completely oblivious to people's expressions, but she sensed that this person seemed to be somewhat unwelcoming to her.
It's okay, once most of the bodyguards outside have left, she can move on to another battlefield.
However, when Shen Lu walked to the door and looked out through the frosted glass, she was so frightened that she almost jumped out of her skin.
Why is her brother here?!
Didn't she throw the watch away?
How was this found?!
Terrified, she scurried under the bed, wetting herself in the process, while repeatedly reminding the crane as she crawled.
"Little brother, my brother's here! Please don't reveal me, please! May you have a peaceful and prosperous life, and may you have eight sons in one pregnancy... Eat up..."
"Shut up."
Duohe's face grew increasingly grim as she listened, and she gritted her teeth, telling her to shut up.
Listen to these words, is this a blessing?
Is this really not a curse?
Next second,
With a creak, the ward door opened.
Shen Ke swaggered in, her eyes filled with doubt.
"Who were you talking to just now? I could hear you talking to each other from outside the door."
Duohe closed her eyes in annoyance, her words coming out in a nasty way.
"No."
Shen Ke circled the hospital bed twice, looking at Duohe's legs that were slinged high, and pointed...
Does your leg still hurt?
Duohe was even more annoyed. "Is this obvious?"
Shen Ke slapped his forehead. That's right. He'd been so worried these past two days that his brain wasn't working properly. How could it not hurt if someone fell from such a height?
He looked around but didn't see a stool, so he bent down to check under the bed.
I was about to see the person under the bed.
Shen Lu turned pale with fright, shifted her skirt and shrank back, her heart pounding wildly, faster and faster.
"Shen Ke".
"What's wrong?" Shen Ke straightened up, looking at Duohe with a blank expression.
"It's okay, don't bother. There are no chairs, just stand for a while."
Duohe was startled to realize that someone was hiding under the bed, and for a moment he felt a little guilty. So much so that he, who was usually so clever, didn't even remember the girl saying that her brother had come.
Shen Ke put her hands on her hips, looked at Duo He, her eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a drawn-out tone, "You... something's not quite right, is it?"
For some reason, a cold sweat broke out on Duohe's back. He tried to keep his voice calm, "It's nothing, my leg hurts."
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he didn't care about anything.
Shen Ke's attention was immediately drawn to it, "Oh, tell me, why did I ever think of letting you go on stage in the first place..."
Shen Ke looked regretful.
The clouds are light and the wind is gentle.
Shen Lu broke out in a cold sweat.
Each of the three had their own thoughts.
"Shen Ke, I can't dance anymore." Duo He leaned against the hospital bed with her eyes closed, her voice very soft.
Shen Ke was stunned. "How could that be?"
Duohe looked at his leg and remembered the doctor's instructions.
Your leg fracture has resulted in severe meniscus damage. Initially, you're only experiencing some pain, but if you continue dancing, you may even develop difficulty walking and become unable to walk at all.
The doctor looked at him and sighed.
Young people shouldn't be so ambitious.
Duohe scoffed inwardly. Pride?
Long before the fire engulfed him, his spirit was completely burned away by that inextinguishable flame. What spirit could a person who even wanted to give up on life have left?
He had long since become indifferent to worldly affairs.
Shen Ke hadn't expected this situation; his relationship with Duohe was more than just friendship.
Back when he started his business under an assumed name, drinking with investors, one of them pointed at him and said he only had a pretty face and no future.
He was so drunk that his stomach was bloated, and when he heard this, he felt like vomiting. He stumbled to the bathroom and vomited, looking utterly disheveled.
At that time, he was filled with confusion. Was he really going to achieve nothing after leaving the Shen family?
Duohe was at the height of his popularity then. He wasn't called Duohe back then; he had a stage name, which Shen Ke doesn't quite remember.
He walked past him and handed him a piece of paper.
The boy's beautiful features told him,
"There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome. If there is, you can simply get up and start over."
Back then, Duohe was a very kind person who was willing to talk a lot, unlike now, when he was so taciturn.
For Shen Ke, Duohe was an unconventional talent scout.
He could see right through Shen Ke's heart.
Shen Ke forced a smile, trying to keep her tone calm, "I'll call right away and arrange for the top experts in the country to treat you. You'll definitely get better."
Shen Ke's hands were trembling as he held the phone; he couldn't control himself.
Duohe looked tired; he waved his hand.
"I don't want to stay in the entertainment industry anymore."
That place wasn't right for him; he was too tired of living there.
