Entertainment News: Follow Wang Baoqiang's Rise to Film Emperor

Li Xiaoran felt so uncomfortable that she could barely speak.

He clutched his cramping abdomen with both hands, and after a long while, he managed to mumble, "My stomach...stomach hurts...I feel dizzy...I feel nauseous!"

"Uh, could it be acute gastroenteritis?" Lin Zhi frowned.

"Ugh~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran couldn't hold back any longer and started vomiting on the spot.

Uh?

Seeing this, Lin Zhi hurriedly said, "Teacher Li, shall I take him to your hospital?"

After Li Xiaoran finished vomiting, Lin Zhi quickly wiped her mouth, ignoring the mess of vomit on the floor, and then carried the woman with her excessively fair and delicate skin on his back to a nearby hospital.

At this point, only the emergency room remained at the hospital.

Lin Zhi carried the uncomfortable Li Xiaoran on his back, registered for an emergency room appointment, and waited for about half an hour before finally seeing the emergency room doctor on night duty.

"It's nothing serious. It's probably acute gastroenteritis caused by eating something cold. A couple of IV drips should be enough."

The senior doctor in the emergency room examined Li Xiaoran, who was so upset she was almost paralyzed, and said...

"Oh, okay, thank you, doctor."

Lin Zhi nodded.

This was almost exactly what he had guessed...

It really was acute gastroenteritis!

Although this disease is not a serious one, if it strikes suddenly, it can be excruciating and make you wish you were dead!

It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to withstand.

Then, an experienced emergency room doctor quickly wrote out a diagnosis and prescription. Lin Zhi took the prescription to the hospital's payment window, paid the fees, and then, under the guidance of a gentle and lovely nurse, had Li Xiaoran put on an IV drip in the infusion hall. Thanks to the medication, Li Xiaoran felt much better in less than the time it takes to eat a meal, and her stomach pain was much less.

Although her condition improved after receiving intravenous fluids and the abdominal cramps were less severe, Li Xiaoran was still quite weak. She leaned her head and half of her body on Lin Zhi's shoulder, looking listless and lethargic.

Judging from their posture, anyone unaware of the situation would easily assume they are a couple deeply in love.

The truth is, the two only met tonight and are currently just acquaintances at a preliminary stage.

They weren't even friends.

"Teacher Lin, thank you so much for tonight. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead at home by now. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

After a while, Li Xiaoran, who was almost finished with her IV drip, was in much better condition. Her complexion gradually became rosy, her spirits lifted, and her stomach pain subsided. So she began to express her gratitude to Lin Zhi.

Smelling the delicate fragrance emanating from Li Xiaoran, Lin Zhi honestly quite enjoyed the feeling at that moment. After all, no man would dislike having such a beautiful woman leaning against him.

So upon hearing Li Xiaoran's words of thanks, Lin Zhi quickly smiled and said, "Teacher Li, you're being too polite. We're so familiar with each other, isn't this just what I should do?"

"Besides, when you're traveling, you should help each other. Everyone encounters difficulties; who can have a smooth journey all the time? Don't you agree?"

Hearing Lin Zhi say this, it was clear that the young man in front of him was a magnanimous, generous, and righteous person.

Li Xiaoran immediately felt a greater liking for Lin Zhi.

She forced a smile onto her sickly pale face and said slowly and softly, "Ah Zhi... I'll call you Ah Zhi from now on. You're such a good person."

"Once I'm better, I'll definitely treat you to a meal another day to thank you properly."

"Don't call me Teacher Li anymore, just call me by my name or Sister Ran."

Lin Zhi nodded hurriedly: "Uh, okay, Sister Ran, I will obey your orders."

Instantly, the two felt the distance between them had closed considerably.

Lin Zhi then boldly tilted his body slightly to the side, and suddenly reached out his right hand to pull Li Xiaoran, who was originally leaning on his shoulder, into his arms, so that she could lean more comfortably on his broad chest.

Although the position was somewhat ambiguous, it was indeed much more comfortable for Li Xiaoran, who was weak and still ill at the moment. So, despite feeling a little shy and embarrassed, Li Xiaoran did not refuse or get up to change her position.

She nestled her petite and docile body against Lin Zhi's chest.

"Hey, here's your medicine. Remember to take it on time when you get back."

Just then, a round-faced nurse quickly walked over with a small bag of prepared Western medicine and placed it next to Lin Zhi and Li Xiaoran, reminding them of something.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you, nurse." Lin Zhi quickly replied.

After successfully completing the IV drip, Li Xiaoran was almost fully recovered.

Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, at least I have regained my mobility and can stand up and walk without much problem.

The two then left the hospital together, carrying the Western medicine prescribed by the hospital.

It was already past 3 a.m.

There was no one on the street outside; the long street was deserted and desolate.

"Sister Ran, are you hungry? Would you like to buy something to eat before going back?"

After leaving the hospital and walking down the long street, Lin Zhi glanced at Li Xiaoran beside him and asked.

Li Xiaoran had just finished her IV drip. Although her physical condition had improved considerably, she still didn't have much of an appetite, so she shook her head and said softly, "I don't want to eat. Let's just go back."

Lin Zhi nodded slightly and led Li Xiaoran back to her residence.

It's already this late, and Xie Na, who shares an apartment with Li Xiaoran, still hasn't come back. I don't know if she's still out partying at a nightclub or spending the night somewhere else. The apartment is empty and deserted.

"Okay, then Sister Ran, you should get some rest. I'm going back now."

After safely taking Li Xiaoran home, Lin Zhi didn't linger. He poured her a glass of warm water, and after she took her medicine, he said he was leaving.

"Oh, it's so late now, the middle of the night, will you still be able to get a taxi? Why don't you stay here with me for the night and leave tomorrow?" Li Xiaoran said kindly.

"No need, I'll just walk around the streets and I'll be able to hail a taxi..." Lin Zhi said with a shrug.

After saying that, he turned and left Li Xiaoran's residence with a flourish, despite Li Xiaoran's earnest attempts to persuade him to stay.

Watching Lin Zhi leave, Li Xiaoran sat alone in the empty living room, and for some reason, she suddenly felt empty inside.

By the time Lin Zhi returned to his rented room, it was almost dawn. He had walked around the streets for a long time before finally managing to hail a taxi for the night.

"Oh, our CEO Lin is finally back."

"I thought that after you became an angel investor, you would move on to the business world and become a business tycoon, and never come back to this small, shabby rented room."

"He's been out partying all night, did he go to the red-light district with that alien-looking guy? Hehe..."

Lin Zhi returned to his residence, and as soon as he stepped inside, perhaps because the noise of opening the door was too loud, he woke up Wang Baoqiang, who had unexpectedly fallen asleep in the living room that night. Then, Wang Baoqiang looked up at Lin Zhi as he entered, and suddenly burst into a strange laugh, saying strange things in a sarcastic tone.
