An hour and a half later, the sky was light.
Nan Chu’s alarm went off.
Nan Chu opened her eyes and t Jiang Han’s gaze.
Jiang Han touched Nan Chu’s forehead, "Still a bit of a fever."
"Mm." Nan Chu’s voice was hoarse.
"You sleep a bit more, I’ll make you so porridge."
"No need, just order so delivery. You didn’t rest well last night either."
"Feeling sorry for ?" Jiang Han asked with a cheeky smile. He didn’t expect Nan Chu to answer.
"Mm, feeling sorry."
But Nan Chu answered, and Jiang Han was overjoyed.
"Okay, I’ll order takeout." Jiang Han said happily.
The delivery arrived quickly, and after breakfast, Jiang Han went downstairs.
Jiang Han went to knock on Si Junyan’s door.
Si Junyan had just gotten up; hearing the knock, he opened the door and was surprised to see Jiang Han.
"What, afraid I’ll steal Nan Chu’s heart? Here to warn to stay away from her?"
"Let’s talk inside."
Seeing Jiang Han’s tired and serious face, Si Junyan put away his teasing expression. "What’s up?"
"Nan Chu caught a cold, take good care of her." Jiang Han wanted to stay ho to take care of Nan Chu, but he had to follow the program’s rules.
Si Junyan frowned slightly at that, "Wasn’t she fine last night? How did she catch a cold?"
"Don’t know what happened. She went out in the rain last night at midnight." Jiang Han clenched his fist, "She seed like her soul was gone."
"Please keep an eye on her, don’t let her do anything that harms herself." Jiang Han didn’t want to tell Si Junyan about Nan Chu’s situation, but he was worried she might harm herself again.
So telling his rival was also for Nan Chu’s sake.
At least there’d be another person to help watch over her.
"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her." Si Junyan nodded seriously.
As the other guest couples left one after another for their dates.
Si Junyan stayed by Nan Chu’s side.
Although Nan Chu took dicine last night, she was still unwell, and the fever hadn’t subsided.
"Sorry for ruining your date." Nan Chu said in a sickly voice.
"The date isn’t as important as your health." Si Junyan said, "Let’s go to the hospital."
"Okay."
After Nan Chu changed, Si Junyan took her to the hospital.
The hospital prescribed dicine and an IV drip.
Si Junyan stayed with Nan Chu during the IV drip.
While Nan Chu was on the IV, Si Junyan held her hand, watching her sleep.
"The sick look is truly pitiful." Si Junyan muttered to himself.
What to do, he had said he would back off, but now he doesn’t want to.
He wanted to keep her by his side and protect her.
Jiang Han was with Yang Yi at the Sunset Bookstore, but his mind was on Nan Chu. After less than an hour, he suggested returning to the inn.
Anyway, he had already shown up according to the program’s rules.
The Sunset Bookstore was two hours’ drive from the inn, and by the ti Jiang Han returned, Nan Chu had already finished her IV and was back.
When he returned to the inn, Si Junyan had just co out of Nan Chu’s room.
"Nan Chu just took dicine and fell asleep, don’t disturb her."
"I’ll just take a look." Not seeing Nan Chu made him restless.
Jiang Han went for a peek; Nan Chu was sleeping soundly, so he quietly left the room to find Si Junyan.
The two chatted briefly, then each went back to their rooms.
Jiang Han went back to sleep.
When he woke up, it was past four in the afternoon. He washed his face and went to Nan Chu’s room.
When he got to Nan Chu’s room, Si Junyan was there too.
Jiang Han glanced at Si Junyan, who smiled back.
"Nan Chu, feeling better?"
"Much better, sorry for worrying you." Nan Chu nodded.
"Have another apple, Nan Chu." Si Junyan interrupted.
"Thank you." Nan Chu took the apple.
"You’re welco."
[Damn, this dog Si Junyan. Shouldn’t have let him take care of Nan Chu.]
Nan Chu heard Jiang Han’s inner voice and glanced at him.
Didn’t expect he asked Si Junyan to watch over her.
"Jiang Han, did you rest well?" Nan Chu asked with concern.
"Yes, I’m well-rested."
"Want to go downstairs for a walk?"
"Sure." Nan Chu nodded.
Jiang Han shot a triumphant look at Si Junyan. Kid, dream on if you want to compete with .
Nan Chu went downstairs.
But Si Junyan was like a plaster, hard to shake off.
Wherever Nan Chu and Jiang Han went, he followed.
When the three of them returned from their walk, the atmosphere at the inn was off, as if sothing had happened.
The three exchanged glances.
Si Junyan spoke, "What’s going on?"
"Brother Fang is in trouble." Li Wenya said softly.
[Serves him right; scum like him deserves exposure.]
"Fans are exposing him online for sleeping with fans, and not just one." Zhuo Han said.
[Didn’t expect it, this Fang You plays around quite a bit.]
Xu Fei said, "Can’t judge a book by its cover, he seed so decent, but behind our backs he’s like this."
Sha ngyuan nodded in agreent, "Exactly."
[Good thing she doesn’t like Fang You. She believes ng Yuan isn’t like that.]
Nan Chu: Hmm, she hadn’t even found evidence of Fang You sleeping with fans, and it was already exposed.
Actually, the ssage Nan Chu sent earlier played a role.
One fan blocked Nan Chu but felt sothing was off privately and started investigating in a group chat.
Once they had evidence, this fan tead up with other sisters to expose Fang You.
Just now, the program’s director canceled the collaboration with Fang You.
And Fang You left over ten minutes ago.
The Fang You incident had pushed the program onto hot search topics.
The program team was in ergency mode and also needed to edit previous videos, late-stage editing would be hard, and they’d need to edit him out.
"Wonder if they’ll find a new male guest." Zhuo Han wondered aloud.
"Eight days left, they probably will." Xu Fei said.
With the program’s popularity where it is, there’ll surely be new male guests joining.
After chatting for a while, each returned to their rooms.
The program team was still having urgent discussions.
In the evening, they carried on with the normal ga session, which was a word-guessing ga.
Nan Chu won, Nangong Hengmo ca second, and ng Yuan ca third. The top three had the right to choose soone for a date.
Nan Chu chose Jiang Han, Nangong Hengmo chose Li Wenya, and ng Yuan chose Cheng Luoli.
As for the remaining guests, they drew lots for pairing up.
Si Junyan paired with Xu Fei, Shen Shangqian with Sha ngyuan, and Wei Ziyi with Zhuo Han.
Yang Yi was left out.
After the ga, they sent heartfelt ssages and returned to their rooms to rest.
As soon as Nan Chu got her phone, she searched for news about Fang You.
Fang You occupied three of the top ten hot search spots.
Fang You was being attacked from all sides; besides the fan-sleeping scandal, allegations of tax evasion and pimping also surfaced.
Fang You was arrested and banned.
Just after reading the news, Zhuang Wenqi called.
She asked if Nan Chu had any involvent with Fang You after the live broadcast ended.
Nan Chu assured her she didn’t.
Zhuang Wenqi was relieved.
After a bit of chat, Zhuang Wenqi hung up.
