Jiang Yu brought the fish soup to his lips and blew on it gently before feeding it to Lu Bai.

Jiang Yu’s eyes curved into a smile.  “Does it taste good?  I made it in the small cafeteria.”

Since waking up, Lu Bai’s eyes had been constantly fixed on Jiang Yu.  Hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Lu Bai eagerly nodded repeatedly.  He was a cool and restrained CEO in front of others, but in front of Jiang Yu alone, he was a fluffy puppy.

He wagged his tail, begging for his owner’s attention.

“It’s delicious, no matter what Ayue makes.”

Jiang Yu let out a soft chuckle.  He seemed even more beautiful and gentler than before.  Before, he was like a suppressed sun.  Now he was like a newborn sun, dazzling and brilliant.

“Director Wang came by a while ago.  He saw you were sleeping, so he left. Director Wang told me to take good care of you.  Even if he hadn’t said anything, I would have taken good care of you.”

“But the reality show probably won't be able to continue filming.  Because of the shooting incident, it involved international affairs.  The show was forcibly shut down by the government.”

Jiang Yu spoke as he unconsciously stirred the fish soup in his hand.

“Director Wang told me Xiao Min has been arrested by the police.  He told me not to worry.  No one will defend him.”

When he got to that point, Jiang Yu hesitated.  His lowered eyelashes were incredibly beautiful.

It was so easy to escape his original fate? Even though everything was resolved, he still felt that something wasn’t right.  He felt that the mastermind wasn’t Xiao Min, but someone else.

No, not just one person. Jiang Yu suddenly felt a pain in his chest, as if something was stopping him from seeing the truth of the world.

Lu Bai was startled by Jiang Yu’s sudden hand on his chest. He hurriedly got out of bed. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and he scooped up Jiang Yu and placed him on the bed.

Lu Bai pressed the call button on the bedside table. He kept comforting Jiang Yu.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.  I’ll call the doctor right now.” Lu Bai’s face was full of panic, but he still remembered to comfort Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu bit his lip, weakly smiling at Lu Bai.  “I… I’m fine, don’t… don’t worry.”

The doctors rushed into the ward before Lu Bai could even leave.

The lead doctor, an elderly man in a white coat, immediately saw Jiang Yu curled up in the bed, clutching his chest tightly.

The old doctor quickly walked to Jiang Yu’s bedside. He saw Jiang Yu in pain.  “Hold him down, don’t let him hurt himself. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Find something to stuff in his mouth, if he bites his tongue, he’ll be finished.”

The ward was in chaos. Lu Bai forcefully opened Jiang Yu’s mouth and stuck his arm inside.

Jiang Yu’s eyes were already a little vacant. He bit down hard on Lu Bai’s hand, but Lu Bai didn’t even flinch.

A heavy bloody smell filled Jiang Yu’s mouth. His convulsing body gradually calmed down. The old doctor calmly examined Jiang Yu’s body.

“This is strange.  Why is he suddenly having chest pains?  His full body exam before was completely normal.  Now we can't find anything wrong.”

“His vitals are normal.  There’s nothing wrong, why is he having chest pains?”  The old doctor muttered to himself.

The old doctor’s stethoscope was still on Jiang Yu’s chest.  Thump, thump, thump. His heartbeat was perfectly normal.  This was strange, what was going on?

The old doctor was a little flustered.  He had been practicing medicine for decades.  He was known as "the living Hua Tuo" and he had never seen such a strange ailment.
(T/N; "Hua Tuo" is like saying "the greatest doctor ever" in Chinese culture. He's considered a legendary healer.  So, "the living Hua Tuo" is like calling someone a "medical genius.")

Lu Bai looked at the old doctor with sharp eyes. “How can there be nothing wrong, why is he having chest pains?!”

Jiang Yu also recovered from his pain.  The strong taste of blood in his mouth made him acutely aware. He slowly sat up and gently touched the bloody, bruised arm of Lu Bai.  “You idiot, why didn't you use a towel for me to bite?”

“I'm fine. I just feel like I saw someone hurting a heart, a beating heart.”

He couldn’t help but frown as he spoke. “It’s telling me it’s in pain.”

Lu Bai noticed Jiang Yu’s sadness and unease, and he held his hand.

His deep voice lingered in Jiang Yu's ear, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you, always."

The medical staff standing nearby were furious.  Why was it not them holding the beautiful man, comforting him?

The old doctor in the white coat, on the other hand, had already passed the age of chasing after beauty. If he had been a few decades younger, he might have been like the other medical staff.

The old doctor heard Jiang Yu’s words and immediately reacted.  “It should be a psychological reaction.  Don’t say things that will trigger him in the future.  Avoid any words that could cause his psychological reaction.”

Lu Bai was also a clever man. He immediately understood after hearing the old doctor’s words. It must have been what they mentioned earlier, Xiao Min, that triggered Jiang Yu’s psychological reaction.

Damn it, Lu Bai’s eyes were dark and unclear.

If it weren’t for him, if it weren’t for him, how would his Ayue suffer this?  He should be surrounded by adoring fans.

At this moment, in a distant time and space, a pair of deep, bottomless black eyes opened…

The main brain data that tried to escape this world was completely crushed.
