CH 58

Everyone knows that he was carried into the hospital by his big brother...

Liang Qing was confused: "How did my big brother carry me?"

"Bridal carry, how else?" Sister Cheng replied impatiently.

"Oh no, how embarrassing..." Liang Qing muttered to himself. Now the whole world knows that he, a grown man, was carried like a bride by his big brother...

Sister Cheng was getting frustrated: "Can you focus, please? Is that really the most important thing right now? The real issue is why you were unconscious and sent to the hospital!"

Liang Qing was startled by Sister Cheng's scolding and hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, just food poisoning that caused a low fever. I didn't really lose consciousness, just felt drowsy after taking medicine. My brother probably thought I was sleeping too heavily and didn't want to wake me up, so he carried me into the hospital."

"Food poisoning? What happened? Was it from the show or something?" Sister 

Cheng was completely unaware of this incident. Normally, Liang Qing's assistant would report everything to her, but this time the assistant was absent and Liang Qing assumed that the show's production team would inform Sister Cheng. However, the production team thought that Liang Qing would tell her himself, and this misunderstanding led to Sister Cheng being clueless about the situation.

Liang Qing stuttered a bit and said, "It happened during the show..." It was difficult for him to confess that he got food poisoning from the food he made himself...

"What? How dare the production team provide you with unsafe food?!" Sister Cheng exclaimed in anger.

"No, it's not their fault. Calm down, Sister Cheng. Take a deep breath first!" Lian Qing made up his mind and quickly said, "I... I got food poisoning from eating the food I cooked myself."

Sister Cheng was confused, "What?!"

As there was no reaction from the other end of the phone, Lian Qing had to continue, "There's a cooking segment in the show, and I made a pig's trotter that ended up burnt. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I ate it secretly. And then..." and then there was nothing more.

Sister Cheng said, "Wait a minute, let me digest this..."

What kind of actor did she bring along... he got food poisoning just for a bite to eat...

She took a few deep breaths and then asked, "So, how are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine, but I may need to rest for a few days..." Lian Qing said cautiously, "I may have been too healthy for too long, and I feel like my body is weak. I probably won't be able to start working on the next project immediately..."

Sister Cheng gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"I regret it so much..." Lian Qing pitifully replied, "The doctor said I have to drink plain congee for several days and can't eat anything else!"

"Good!" Sister Cheng was ruthless.

Lian Qing pouted, feeling that he deserved it. He had lost a whole week of good food for just a bit of pig's trotter. This was a classic case of *losing something big while gaining something small, and that small thing even came with poison.

TN: "捡了芝麻丢了西瓜" (picked sesame seeds and lost a watermelon) an idiom that means "to lose sight of the big picture while focusing on small gains." It means that someone is too focused on obtaining a small benefit or profit and overlooks or loses something much more significant or valuable.To let go of the bigger prize while grabbing at trifles.

Sister Cheng's heart was unwilling to be cruel, so she softened her tone and said, "Let's put work aside for now. I'll see if I can find time to visit you today. And I'll send Chen Qi over to take care of you. Just focus on getting well soon."

Making money was important, but an artist's health was even more crucial. Neither she nor Sha Man were ruthless bosses who would make their employees work to the point of exhaustion. Although taking a break at the height of their popularity might mean missing out on some opportunities...

Cheng Jie gathered herself and thought that a person's health was the foundation of everything. For now, Lian Qing's health was the most important thing. As for opportunities, they would come again.

Lian Qing originally wanted to decline the offer of having his assistant come to take care of him, but when he thought of his shidi, he agreed. He could take care of himself if he was alone, but with his shidi around, he wouldn't be able to take care of both himself and his shidi. Having an assistant come to help would be better.

At that moment, Yu Wenning came out and saw Lian Qing on the phone. He asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Lian Qing replied directly, "I'm on the phone with Sister Cheng. She said I should rest for a few days and that she's going to send my assistant to take care of me."

Yu Wenning paused while wiping his face with a towel and said, "No need for that. I think I can take care of both of you."

"What?" Lian Qing was surprised. "Don't you have to work? So much of your work was already delayed because of me, and now you want to take care of me..."

"It's not a problem." Yu Wenning said calmly, "I hire so many employees to work for me. Also, the company already has a well-established system, and various tasks are divided clearly. I just need to spend an hour or two every day looking at the work reports sent by assistants or managers."

Lian Qing asked, "Really?"

"Absolutely," Yu Wenning said, "Besides, Xiaosan'er is a bit shy and has just come down from the mountain. When you were asleep the night before last, I heard that despite others' persuasion, he refused to leave your bedside and stayed there for a long time until I arrived. Then he was finally able to sleep peacefully."

Lian Qing felt a pang of heartache as he looked at the little guy. He wasn't aware of this incident before. He realized that when he opened his eyes that morning, he saw his shidi and big brother. Later, his shidi went to sleep shortly after. However, at that time, he was feeling too unwell to think about why this child wanted to go to sleep so early in the morning.

For the sake of his shidi and a little because of his own selfishness, Lian Qing agreed to Yu Wenning's request.

"Then, Brother Yu, I'll trouble you."

"I've said it many times, don't be so polite with me," Yu Wenning said with a slight smile, showing a sense of ease and relaxation.

Lian Qing smiled sweetly at him, then turned to Sister Cheng on the other end of the phone, who had not yet hung up, and said, "Sister Cheng, there's no need for Chen Ge to come over. I have someone to take care of me."

Cheng Jie said, "...I heard."

She took a deep breath and whispered, "Little Monk, you have to be honest. Do you and Mr. Yu have any feelings beyond friendship and family?"

“Eh?”

"Just wondering, are you guys dating ?" 

"Da.. dating?!" Liang Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Yu Wenning, who had already gone outside to dry his hair, before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He whispered, "Sister, don't talk nonsense."

"Am I really talking nonsense?" Sister Cheng was doubtful, "Doesn't he have feelings for you? Otherwise, why would he be so gentle and benevolent with you? Liang Qing, Mr. Yu is a highly sought-after figure in the entertainment industry that many female celebrities want to pursue but can't get close to. I have a good friend who works as a senior executive at Yu group and has had some contact with him. She said that Mr. Yu is always polite but aloof, and no man or woman has ever been seen around him. So, why would he be so gentle and considerate to you, who he has only known for a short time?"

Liang Qing was stunned for a long time and stuttered, "Maybe we just hit it off? Or maybe my charm is irresistible?"

Sister Cheng: "............" Damn, she really didn't bring a serious artist, but a fool!

The less Sister Cheng spoke, the more nervous Liang Qing became. However, he didn't quite understand what he was nervous about.

Both parties fell into an awkward silence over the phone, until Sister Cheng sighed heavily and said weakly, "Forget it, I'm not qualified to comment on your feelings. But Liang Qing, there's one thing I have to confirm with you. If Mr. Yu confesses his feelings to you in the future, is there any possibility that you could be together?"

Could they be together? Liang Qing's mind was in chaos, and he suddenly remembered the drunken mistake from some time ago. At that time, he had mistakenly thought that he had slept with his big brother. What was he thinking back then?

He glanced at Yu Wenning, who was already outside on the corridor, and memories slowly flooded back. At that time, he seemed to have thought that his big brother was handsome, rich, gentle, and cooked delicious food. It would be nice to have him accompany him for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Liang Qing dryly said, "Maybe..."

Sister Cheng on the other end of the phone rubbed her forehead and said in a tone of extreme sadness, "It's over, Little Monk, you're finished."

She couldn't be sure whether Mr. Yu liked the little monk, but the little monk was definitely falling for Mr. Yu without realizing it.

Tsk, foolish monk!

"I don't intend to interfere with the private lives of celebrities, especially when the person in question is a big shot." Sister Cheng said, "You handle your personal matters yourself. But if there comes a day when something happens, I hope you'll let me know in advance so I can prepare. As a celebrity, you're inevitably going to be under a lot of scrutiny when it comes to your private life and such. Even when you go out normally, you should still be careful."

"Alright, thank you, Sister Cheng."

"Don't thank me yet. There's some information on the internet that you should check out. Currently, it's already in the top three on the hot search list. Once you're informed, you can clarify things yourself, and I'll ask Shaman and the others to help you spread the word."

"Okay." Lian Qing agreed and only put his phone down after the other party hung up.

He opened Weibo and clicked on the hot search list.

#Lian Qing Hospital#

#President Yu Lian Qing#

He went straight to the second one, which was a photo and text posted by a marketing account.

[Circle Love Scavenger V: #President Yu Lian Qing# It is reported that someone took a photo of the popular internet celebrity Lian Qing near a hospital entrance today around noon. He was being carried into the hospital in a state of unconsciousness by Yu Wenning, the president of the Yu Group. During this time, Mr. Yu looked anxious and serious, while Lian Qing looked weak and pale, and the cause of his fainting and hospitalization is unknown... #Attached pictures#]

There were three pictures in total, two of which were blurry, and one of which was relatively clear and showed Lian Qing's face. In that clear photo, Yu Wenning had a handsome face with a furrowed brow, striding forward with long strides, while Lian Qing, who was in his arms, had his eyes closed, his head resting against Yu Wenning's chest, his lips pale, indicating that his physical condition was not good.

Behind Yu Wenning was a little bald child, who was running after him with short legs. And a little further back were two tall and strong men, presumably Yu Wenning's bodyguards.

Under this topic, there were countless comments from netizens.

[My heart aches for the weak little monk, what happened to him? @Monk Lian Qing V @Shaman Studio V]

[Who's the kid? He looks cute...]

[The child is not important, what's important is what happened to the little monk!]

[Am I the only one who thinks something dirty is going on? The princess carry and the hospital…]

[Upstairs, can you wash your brain? One of my friends works at Shaman Studio and told me that Little Monk has been recording "Let's Live Together" in the past few days. From Wu Xiangling's Weibo, it seems that the show just finished recording last night, so what you are thinking is impossible!]

[If it's true, then Lian Qing is sick?]

[@Shaman Studio V @Cheng Lan V, can you come out and explain?]

[So sad, Little Monk looks so fragile... By the way, I know who the President of Yu Group is, but what is his relationship with the little monk? Why did he take Little Monk to the hospital? Where is Little Monk's assistant?]

[It was mentioned in a behind-the-scenes segment of a previous program that Mr. Yu is Little Monk's neighbor and friend. Maybe when Lian Qing finished recording the show and went home, he suddenly fainted and Mr. Yu happened to see him, so he took him to the hospital?]

[That's possible. If that's the case, Little Monk must be sick from exhaustion…]

[That makes sense…]

As the situation developed, many fans of Lian Qing began tagging the studio and his agent Cheng Lan, and even the program team, asking them to come out and explain what happened.

Naturally, all three parties have yet to make a statement. The main reason is that they were unable to contact Lian Qing previously, and no one knew his current situation, so they did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing so many people questioning, Lian Qing couldn't help but clarify the situation directly on Weibo.

[Monk Lian Qing V: It has nothing to do with the program group, studio, or agent. My schedule was not tight. Before recording "Living Together", Sister Cheng gave me a few days off, so I had time to go back to the mountain and pick up my shidi, the little boy you see in the picture.

I went to the hospital because I was sick, and the reason for my illness was my own, not related to others, and it is not serious. Also, I was not in a unconscious in the photo, I was just a little drowsy after taking cold medicine. Yu Wenning went to visit the program group the day before and came back with me today. When we got to the hospital, he couldn't wake me up, so he just carried me in.

When I woke up and opened my phone, I saw so much concern and greetings. I felt warm and embarrassed. I am sorry for making everyone worry and causing trouble for the studio, Sister Cheng, and the program group.

I would like to thank all my friends and fans for their concern, and I also hope that everyone will not think too much. #Attached image#]

Lian Qing attached a screenshot of missed calls and unread messages from his phone. Of course, he did not forget to blur out the numbers and other information, leaving only the names and the number of missed calls. Among them, there were the most missed calls from Sister Cheng and Shaman, followed by Zhao Chengyi, Li Chengsi, and others. It took him two pages to capture them all. As for the WeChat messages, it was even more exaggerated, taking up four pages. Some of them were even blurred out, leaving only the profile pictures of the behind-the-scenes staff.

He posted the screenshots because he didn't have the energy to reply to all those messages and calls one by one. This way, it was more convenient and easier for him.

However, he didn't know that because of this screenshot, everyone realized how good his connections were in the industry! Eighty percent of the people he had worked with in the industry had tried to contact him privately to check on him. The big names he worked with on the "Infinite Challenge" program were particularly eye-catching.

Because of this screenshot, a small number of netizens who previously thought that he might be acting or directing himself in a play began to believe his words. It's easy for one person to act, but it's not so simple to get so many big names to act with him.

As soon as this statement was released, almost everyone who appeared in the screenshot reposted it and mostly attached a message telling him to rest well and take care of himself.

However, Li Chengsi's repost and comment seemed a little unfriendly to Lian Qing in his opinion.

[Li Chengsi V: Little Monk, isn't it that you were poisoned by the food you made yourself and indirectly caused a fever? Dare to say it out loud, don't be afraid! #dog# #dog# //Monk Lian Qing V: ......]

Lian Qing: "............" It's over, I can't keep it a secret anymore.

Netizens: ?!!!

[Damn, what does it mean to be poisoned by your own food?!]

[Speaking of which, that program often arranges guests to cook and eat by themselves. Could it be that Little Monk got food poisoning from eating his own cooking?!]

[Hahaha... What a godlike figure! Is he trying to make me fall in love with him? haha]

[Ah, I really want to know the details! When will it air, I'm so anxious!]

[Heartache and laughter, what's going on, pu! Sorry, I misjudged you @Cheng Lan V @Shaman Studio V @Let's Travel Together V]

[I'm patiently waiting for the broadcast! I have a feeling I'm going to laugh my head off. 2333]

[Damn, there really are people who get knocked out by their own food! Little Monk, I really admire you. Hahaha, hehehe......]

............

Lian Qing looked at these fickle netizens with melancholy, feeling very depressed. They were all pretending to care about him one second and then making fun of him the next second after they found out why he got sick!

They were all fake fans!

He angrily quit Weibo and lay back on his bed.

Meanwhile, without his knowledge, the netizens who had just made fun of Lian Qing started to pay attention to other things. Such as Yu Wenning, or the little shidi in the photo.

At the same time, "Yu Qing CP" and "Qing Ning CP" were quietly born, and both teams were growing stronger.

Lian Qing was temporarily unaware of all this because of his repeated low fever. The doctor advised him to stay in the hospital. At dinner time, he looked at the white congee in front of him, and then at the table full of various delicacies on the bed next to him, and shamelessly swallowed his saliva.

In the end, Lian Qing succumbed to the dark forces of food and shouted to the big brother and shidi on the bed next to him, "Can I just have a bite, please?"

Yu Wenning smiled cruelly and said, "Don't even think about licking it."

Tiny monk Lian Sang looked at his pitiful, helpless shixiong and chanted "Amitabha Buddha!" Then he grabbed a big piece of braised pork and closed his eyes as he stuffed it into his mouth. Mm, it's delicious!

Author's Note:

From readers ~ (≧▽≦)/~: Shocking!! New popular actor Lian Qing was carried into the hospital by a man in the middle of the night!! What unspeakable things happened? 

From reader DanDan: Little Monk: Hey, dare to think of your sister-in-law! Big brother, hurry up and help me dig a pit!

Yu Wenning: It's done. [Asking for praise]

Little Monk: Well done. So, Xiaosan'er, are you jumping on your own or do you want me to help you?

Xiaosan: I, I'll jump by myself!

After jumping, the little monk stepped on it firmly and held the hand of the old gong to leave.

Only a small head was left outside: ying...

And the last paragraph of the main text from reader Qi Mo: Hahaha, Xiaosan watched as the little monk ate meat. Xiaosan couldn't bear it, so he closed his eyes and stuffed the meat into his mouth. Hahaha
