Chapter 244: Have You Considered Getting LASIK?

~7 min read 1,359 words

She was surrounded by several assistants, nodding to people in the company wherever she passed. Shen Li watched her from afar as she walked in this direction, her eyes wide.

She had just seen her on the "Spring Festival Gala" not long ago, and she didn't expect her to be even more beautiful in person, with a full star aura in every gesture.

"Sister Kuan."

As she approached, Ji Chuhe greeted Sister Kuan familiarly, naturally noticing Shen Li beside her.

"Little A-Li!"

Who would have thought that in the next second, she would blurt out Shen Li's name, startling Shen Li into widening her eyes in surprise.

"Sister Chuhe... you know me?"

Seeing her unbelievable reaction, Ji Chuhe curled her lips into an impeccable smile: "Of course, Sister Kuan has praised you to me many times. I've finally met you today; you're even cuter in person than in photos!"

Shen Li was very excited: "Sister Chuhe, you're even more beautiful in person."

Sister Kuan smiled upon seeing this: "There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. A-Li is joining the crew soon, so go back and prepare first. Chuhe, come with me, the brand's clothes have been sent over. Try them on first; if they don't fit, we need to hurry and alter them. You have to wear them for the 'Jinzun Awards' next month."

Ji Chuhe nodded and raised her hand to say goodbye to Shen Li: "Good luck with the filming of the new drama, see you next time, little A-Li."

"Thank you, Sister Chuhe, and I wish you a second Jinzun Award Best Actress win," A-Li said sweetly, her heart blooming with joy.

The living Ji Chuhe! It was no exaggeration to call her the number one top-tier female star in the entertainment industry today. She had been seen just like that, and the other party even knew her name!

The next day, Shen Ci drove her sister to the airport.

Xiaoyun and A-Pan had already arrived at the airport early to wait and meet up with Shen Li.

"Sister, I'll report that I'm safe when I arrive, but the signal there might not be good."

"Good or not, you have to find a way to get me news, otherwise I won't be at ease," Shen Ci said.

She only knew it was a script about human trafficking before, but she didn't expect they would have to film in a mountain gully. Shen Ci was truly a bit worried.

"If you have trouble, remember to tell me!"

Shen Li nodded obediently: "I know, Sister, you've said that several times."

"You'd better keep it in mind. It's not like a film studio over there; there will be many uncertain and unstable factors, whether inside or outside the crew. As long as it's something you can't handle, tell me in time, don't try to be brave alone."

"Okay, definitely."

Shen Ci escorted her all the way to the security checkpoint. Before parting, she gave Xiaoyun and A-Pan a look, and both nodded knowingly.

Watching her sister pass through security, Shen Ci still felt she couldn't fully set her heart at ease, and could only hope that A-Li would have everything go smoothly.

Returning from the airport, Shen Ci went straight to the hospital again and happened to run into Jiang Lingchuan at the elevator entrance.

He had changed into a blue down jacket and was carrying a lunch box.

"Classmate Shen Ci!"

Jiang Lingchuan greeted her in the same way as always, and Shen Ci smiled slightly: "What did you bring for Lianxing?"

"Soybean pig trotters and stir-fried yam."

"Did Auntie make it?"

"I made it."

He answered crisply, without any concealment.

However, although Shen Ci saw this clearly, she couldn't be the one to point it out. Lianxing was oblivious, and Jiang Lingchuan was willing to work hard without complaint; instead, there was a feeling that made people envious.

Just observing Jiang Lingchuan's appearance—his tall figure, red lips and white teeth, and skin that was incredibly good—plus his earnest, almost wooden personality, he actually had quite a unique character and temperament.

It was just that the thick lenses on the bridge of his nose made him look a bit dull and covered up the advantages of his looks.

"Jiang Lingchuan."

"Hmm?"

"Have you considered getting LASIK? Or wearing contact lenses?"

"Why?" Jiang Lingchuan looked at Shen Ci, puzzled.

Shen Ci didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly: "Actually, you're quite good-looking, it's just that these big glasses are a real eyesore. If you could take them off, you'd definitely get extra points for your appearance. These glasses are a bit ugly."

Jiang Lingchuan: "..."

"I'm just giving a well-intentioned suggestion. Maybe you've worn them for a long time and are used to it, but bystanders see clearly. I personally think you'd definitely be a handsome guy without glasses!"

Jiang Lingchuan: "..."

In the hospital room, Gu Lianxing was lying alone on the bed. After Shen Ci entered, she was a bit surprised: "Didn't Pili say she was coming to accompany you this morning? Where is she?"

Gu Lianxing curled her lips: "I don't know, she didn't reply to my messages. Could something have happened? Try sending her a voice message!"

Shen Ci nodded and took out her phone to contact Jin Pili. Jiang Lingchuan silently stepped forward to open the food container, and Gu Lianxing sniffed greedily: "It smells so good."

"Jiang Lingchuan, go ask the doctor in a while if I can be discharged. I don't want to lie in the hospital anymore."

Jiang Lingchuan served her a bowl of soybeans and pig's trotters and handed it to her: "The doctor told you to observe for three days; this is only the second day."

"I don't have dizziness or nausea, I can eat and drink, there's no problem at all. I want to go home..."

By the end, her tone couldn't hide her coquettishness.

Jiang Lingchuan sighed almost imperceptibly: "Then I'll go help you ask."

Gu Lianxing grinned: "Hee hee, thanks, the pig trotters are amazing!"

Jiang Lingchuan watched her lower her head and eat with relish, his expression gradually softening.

Doctor's office.

"Of course you can have it done. You just need to register at the ophthalmology department and then make an appointment with the doctor for the surgery time," the doctor said, looking at Jiang Lingchuan in front of him.

Jiang Lingchuan nodded slowly: "After the surgery, will I be able to stop wearing glasses completely?"

"Of course, but you still need to pay attention to protecting your eyes in the future, otherwise you'll become nearsighted again."

"Thank you, doctor."

Jiang Lingchuan stood up and only remembered the main business when he reached the door. He hurriedly turned back to ask: "Doctor, can the patient in Room 7 be discharged today? She has no symptoms of discomfort."

"It's better to observe for the full three days. It's only the second day, one more day won't hurt," the doctor said.

As a result, when he returned to the room, Gu Lianxing was already dressed and in a hurry to leave.

"Where are you going? The doctor said to observe for three days!" Jiang Lingchuan took a step forward to stop her.

Gu Lianxing looked anxious and pushed Jiang Lingchuan away forcefully: "Help me handle the discharge, I have an urgent matter!"

It was clear that she was truly anxious. Jiang Lingchuan followed her out of the ward while asking: "What's wrong? What happened? Where are you going?"

"Pili's mentor passed away, I have to go and accompany Pili!" Gu Lianxing said, stepping directly into the elevator and walking away quickly.

Jiang Lingchuan didn't chase after her. He knew that if something like this happened, he couldn't stop Gu Lianxing. Watching her back disappear, he turned around and silently returned to the ward to help her pack her things.

At another hospital, Shen Ci arrived a step earlier.

Beside the chairs in the corridor outside the morgue, Pili sat on the ground curled into a ball, her eyes staring blankly at the white wall in front of her. ===== CHAPTER 245 =====
