The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

When Lin Yang returned home, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

A short while later, Gao Lan, having finished washing up and wearing warm pajamas, came out and saw Lin Yang sitting on the living room sofa playing on his phone. She couldn't help but lean over and hug him, saying:

"I thought you weren't coming home tonight! How's Xiaoyue? Are you worried about her being alone?"

"What else? Why don't you go and keep her company?" Lin Yang turned to look at Gao Lan and said.

"I don't want to catch a cold," Gao Lan said, glancing at the phone in Lin Yang's hand. "Looking at stocks again? How much have you made? Are you addicted to stocks?"

"I'm addicted to making money," Lin Yang said casually. "I haven't made much, though. Today's earnings are only a little more than your year-end bonus."

"What? Your daily earnings are more than my year-end bonus?" Gao Lan's beautiful eyes widened.

"Don't get excited! What's there to get excited about! It's just that more stocks were sold today, it's not like we see this many every day," Lin Yang said calmly.

"Do you have some secret? Why do you always make money in the stock market? Can you teach me how to trade stocks? Or how about I invest my money and you share the profits?" Gao Lan couldn't help but ask.

"What if we lose money?" Lin Yang countered.

"If you lose money, I'll cling to you and be your crony for life," Gao Lan rolled her eyes at Lin Yang.

"Okay, I'll count you in. If you lose money, it's on me; if you make a profit, I'll take 10%," Lin Yang said.

"Ten percent? Okay!" Gao Lan, her beautiful eyes widening slightly, thought for a moment and then softened her tone. After all, it was a sure-fire deal.

Gao Lan had already booked her plane ticket and was going back to her hometown early the next morning, so she was very difficult to get through the night. Lin Yang had to put in a lot of effort to calm her down, and she almost couldn't get out of bed the next morning.

After finally getting out of bed and washing up, Gao Lan saw Lin Yang busy in the kitchen, and her beautiful eyes lit up as she came over and hugged him.

"What delicious food did you make? Is it all for me?"

"I've prepared it for you, but the steamed egg custard in the pot right now is specially prepared for Xiaoyue," Lin Yang said.

"How unfair!" Gao Lan, who had just kissed him, couldn't help but pout upon hearing this.

"The patient eats vinegar too?" Lin Yang said, and then hurriedly took the breakfast that Gao Lan had prepared to the table.

Looking at the sumptuous and exquisite breakfast, Gao Lan's mood immediately improved: "So much? I can't finish it all."

"Have you forgotten that there's still one person who hasn't eaten? Eat as much as you can, and save the rest for me," Lin Yang said.

As he spoke, Lin Yang put the breakfast he had prepared for Lin Xiaoyue into a thermos.

"I'm going to see Xiaoyue, so I won't see you off at the airport!" Lin Yang said to Gao Lan, who was eating breakfast at the table, as he changed his shoes.

"Okay, I'll take a taxi in a bit, so it won't stop you from trying to win my favor," Gao Lan said while drinking her porridge.

Lin Yang glanced at her helplessly and couldn't help but say, "You still have a home to go back to for the New Year, but Xiaoyue has no parents anymore. For her, the New Year is a lonely and unbearable time."

"Alright, I didn't say anything, you should go now! Go and bring warmth!" Gao Lan said.

In a residential area, Lin Yang arrived at Li Xiaoyue's place a few minutes later, but there was no response when he rang the doorbell.

Lin Yang hurriedly made a phone call, and after a while, Li Xiaoyue answered groggily, "Feeding..."

"Xiaoyue, what's wrong? You're still not awake? Do you have a fever?" Lin Yang asked immediately as soon as he answered the phone.

"Master... I feel so dizzy! I have no energy and don't want to move at all," Li Xiaoyue said, giving Lin Yang the password for the electronic lock on the main gate.

Lin Yang hurriedly opened the door and went in, fortunately Li Xiaoyue's room was not locked from the inside.

"Master..." Li Xiaoyue on the bed tried to get up with some difficulty.

Lin Yang touched her forehead; it was burning hot. She definitely had a fever. "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Lin Yang quickly helped Li Xiaoyue put on her clothes and shoes, then carried her out with her phone and other necessities.

Lin Yang, who was carrying Li Xiaoyue out of the community, did not notice that Gao Lan, who was also pulling a suitcase and walking out of the community, had just witnessed this scene.

Gao Lan, her expression a complex mix of emotions, stood silently for a moment before continuing to walk out of the residential area.

Lin Yang took Li Xiaoyue to the hospital by taxi, accompanied her to register, have her check-ups, and complete the admission process. Only after arranging a ward and watching the nurse give her an IV drip did Lin Yang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master..." Li Xiaoyue, lying on the hospital bed, looked very weak and powerless.

"Would you like some water? Or would you like to eat first? Breakfast should still be warm!" Lin Yang said.

"Master, thank you for your help," Li Xiaoyue said, a little embarrassed. "I...I need to use the restroom."

"Okay, I'll go with you," Lin Yang said, helping Li Xiaoyue carry the metal rack with the IV drip, and accompanying her to the bathroom door.

After Li Xiaoyue finished using the restroom, Lin Yang helped her back to her hospital bed before opening the thermos and feeding her.

"Master, I can do it myself!" Li Xiaoyue said softly.

"It's inconvenient for you to feed me with the needle in your hand!" Lin Yang said in an unquestionable manner.

"Girl, your boyfriend is so good to you. Are you married?" the older woman on the other side of the empty hospital bed said with a smile.

"Ah?" Li Xiaoyue blushed slightly. "Auntie, please don't misunderstand, we..."

"Auntie, we're not married yet!" Lin Yang replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyue blushed even more and obediently ate the breakfast Lin Yang fed her.

"I...I can't eat anymore," Lin Yang said, explaining that the breakfast he made was quite large, and Li Xiaoyue still couldn't finish it.

"Sigh..." Seeing Lin Yang finish the rest of the steamed egg custard and even use the same spoon as her, Li Xiaoyue hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

After Lin Yang quickly finished his breakfast, picked up the thermos, and left to wash up, the old lady in the same ward couldn't help but laugh:

"Girl, you're so lucky! Your boyfriend seems thoughtful and good at managing a household. There aren't many reliable guys like him these days."

"Auntie, he's not my boyfriend yet," Li Xiaoyue said shyly.

"Then you'd better hurry up, don't be shy," the old lady said with a smile, "You'll regret it if you miss it."

Li Xiaoyue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she listened, and she blushed even more.

A short while later, Lin Yang returned and saw that Li Xiaoyue's face was flushed. He couldn't help but touch her forehead: "Has your fever not gone down yet?"

"It's okay, I'm much better now. It's probably because I ate too quickly and the food was too hot," Li Xiaoyue said.

Li Xiaoyue stayed in the hospital for several days afterward, and only returned home after her condition improved.

Because of her illness, she couldn't go back home. Upon learning that Lin Yang was also alone, Li Xiaoyue felt even more sympathetic and made a promise with him to spend the Lunar New Year's Eve together.

Lin Yang prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, and Li Xiaoyue came over early to help.

After dinner, Li Xiaoyue insisted on dragging Lin Yang out to experience the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Watching Li Xiaoyue and a group of children happily playing with fireworks in the residential area, Lin Yang couldn't help but feel touched.

Lin Yang accompanied her on a wild adventure, and they went out to see Beijing's New Year's Eve celebrations. Under Li Xiaoyue's guidance, they enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

He didn't know that Beijing had so many fun places and delicious food.

After the clock struck midnight, Li Xiaoyue, who had dragged Lin Yang to watch the fireworks show, cheered and jumped for joy amidst the dazzling fireworks. Suddenly, she turned to Lin Yang, who was smiling at her, and said, "Master, I like you!"

"What?" The sound of the fireworks was too loud, and with the surrounding noise, Lin Yang couldn't quite hear clearly.

"I said... I like you!" Li Xiaoyue shouted, covering her mouth with both hands. Unexpectedly, after the fireworks ended, her voice was clear and loud, causing the people around her to subconsciously look over.

Seeing Li Xiaoyue blushing deeply, Lin Yang couldn't help but step forward and embrace her.

"Give me a kiss!" Amidst the cheers of the onlookers, Li Xiaoyue took the initiative to kiss Lin Yang.
