The following week after the pot incident was incident-free and that made Luo Hua believe that it was maybe really an accident while Cheng Hao wasn't that optimistic so he kept himself alert all the time. He had a strange feeling in his gut, telling him to be careful.

"I have wonderful news!" Luo Hua threw himself to the chair next to Cheng Hao.

"You are moving to Canada?" Cheng Hao asked with feigned enthusiasm.

"Funny," Luo Hua grimaced, "do you want me to talk to the director to arrange a stand-up show for you?"

Cheng Hao raised his hand, gesturing surrender, "jokes aside, what is that wonderful news?"

"I -and it also means you- will have a day off tomorrow!" He clapped his hands with excitement. It had been three weeks since the shooting started, and it was his first day off.

"Wow, it is really good news," Cheng Hao chuckled at the actor's excitement. Sometimes, he was really acting like a small kid, but Cheng Hao had nothing to complain about as he found his childish reactions extremely cute.

"So what is your plan for tomorrow?" The bodyguard asked, hoping he would say that he wanted to stay at home all day long. This way, Cheng Hao could go to the hospital to see his mother. It had been three weeks seeing her- he didn't count the day in the emergency- and he missed her. Although he video called her every night, it wasn't the same as seeing her in person.

"I-" Luo Hua started, but he was interrupted by Li Jun who rushed to them.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Hao made his breathless friend sit.

"Another... letter," Li Jun uttered and put a familiar red envelope onto the table.

Cheng Hao looked at the actor whose face was drenched in a pallid hue and grasped the letter from the table. "I will check it alone, take Luo Hua to the dressing room," he said to Li Jun, but Luo Hua shook his head in negative.

"I should see it, she is my fan after all," he said, trying to smile, but his shaky hands gave him away.

Heaving a sigh, Cheng Hao opened the letter and placed it on the table so that everyone could read.

Luo Luo, my love,

I am so sorry for writing to you one week earlier, but I couldn't wait any longer. I committed a sin, thinking you did something bad. I am so sorry my love for doubting you even for a short while. You are an angel in this world, so you cannot do anything bad. Thank you for proving your love to me and don't worry I wasn't sad.

I am so sorry again,

Your babe.

"What the hell was that?" Li Jun uttered with his eyes wide open. "Shall we call the police?"

"It is not threatening, so they won't take action," Cheng Hao explained, "but we can check if there is a fingerprint on it. I have a friend who can help us with that."

"Good," Li Jun approved while Luo Hua was silent.

"What do you think?" Cheng Hao gave him a gentle squeeze on his hand.

"I was just thinking about her words, she wrote I did something bad, can it be me getting arrested?"

"Possible," Cheng Hao nodded, "but how did she learn about it?"

"I don't know..."

Cheng Hao looked at the actor with concerned eyes, Luo Hua was on the edge and Cheng Hao hated to see him like that. He turned to Li Jun, "take this to the address I will send to you, her name is Yanan, tell her I sent you," he said, giving the envelope to Li Jun. Then, he reached his hand for Luo Hua, "let's go home."
