Chapter Fifty-Seven

  Xiao Hei is dead.

  In the moment of witnessing death, at most it's just tears. What's more frightening is everything that follows - when you return to where you used to live together, only to find traces of the one who left everywhere - their breath, things they used, even food they ate half of and left there before leaving. They're all still there, as if they never left.

  And you know better than anyone else that it won't come back.

  These things were suddenly abandoned by their owners like this.

  At this time, you who are left behind will be reminded by an invisible force in a way that is more intense than ever: the guy really left and will never come back.

  From then on, you completely lost it in life.

  ……

  Never thought I'd end up like this with that annoying translation hamster.

  Jian Ran stood solemnly in the new cage, watching as Jiang Chuan threw away the old, blood-stained toys. The only thing that was kept was the wooden house that had once been occupied by him and Xiao Hei on different levels. As Jiang Chuan silently sprinkled wood shavings onto the floor of the new cage, Jian Ran jumped up to the second level of the wooden house and unexpectedly found that the grass padding inside was still there, with Xiao Hei's scent lingering on it.

  Although it won't be long before these hay turn yellow and Jiang Chuan might throw them away.

  But not now.

  This means he still has something left to reminisce about.

  Cautiously stretching out its claws, it pulled a blade of grass over and held it in its mouth, then fell onto its back in the space that was neither too soft nor too spacious. At the moment when it was surrounded by Xiao Hei's smell, a feeling of suffocation suddenly filled its entire chest without warning. Every breath felt like an invisible attack screaming as if it wanted to tear open its chest and burst its brain. All the blood in its body seemed to have stopped flowing, unable to take a step or make a sound. The only thing that made it feel like it was still alive in this world was the tears welling up in its eyes and the blade of grass held in its mouth trembling slightly due to its unstable breathing.

  It's too ridiculous and hilarious, he slowly lifted his paw to roughly wipe away tears, silently thinking that just today, he still disliked Xiao Hei so much; every second, he felt that the guy had an annoying aura in every move he made; every day when he woke up, the first thing he did was pray that the guy would jump out of the hotel window on the 20th floor and give each other some peace...

  Now he was plunged into an inexpressible sorrow because of Xiao Hei's death.

  It's as if someone who was always there, completely taken for granted, suddenly disappeared one day. Only then do you realize that their presence had been everywhere in your life, leaving behind an unshakeable sense of dissonance. And soon after, even life itself seems to have lost a piece.

  He gently wiped the fur on his belly, and the blood on top had already dried up. With a light rub, iron oxide-scented debris fell off in succession. At the same time, he heard a faint "click" sound coming from outside, which was the sound of Jiang Chuan closing the door of the hamster cage. Then there were the low voices of Jiang Chuan and the veterinarian talking, which sounded like Jiang Chuan was asking the local veterinarian something. Finally, after about fifteen minutes, the surroundings darkened, and the small wooden house shook slightly. Jianran guessed that Jiang Chuan had probably left the pet hospital.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after a while, the motorcycle's engine roared to life.

  It wasn't long before the rumbling sound stopped again.

  He cautiously poked his head out to take a look, and found that Jiang Chuan had parked the motorcycle by the side of the road without locking it. He walked straight into a boutique store by the roadside, and when he came out, he was carrying a gift bag in his hand. Chuan casually hung the gift bag on the handlebars, and then the roar of the engine started up again.

  When the motorcycle flew out at a speed that could increase the traffic police uncle's business volume, Jian Ran was not surprised to find himself unknowingly getting used to Jiang Chuan's midnight crazy mode - only this time, the car had been driving for a long time and hadn't returned to the film base. During this time, Jian Ran cried until he fell asleep in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the wooden house was still slightly shaking under the influence of the motorcycle engine...

  He curiously stuck his head out to take a look and only then did he discover that Jiang Chuan had driven the motorcycle onto a winding mountain road in the dead of night.

  Pan Mountain Highway

  Jian Ran: "......"

  It's late at night, where are you going? Are you driving fast because you're in a bad mood?

  At this time, they were probably close to reaching the top of the mountain. As Jianyan looked back, he saw that behind them was a night view of H City below their line of sight. The city lights had just begun to turn on, and the neon lights formed a beautiful band of light, like a scattering of stars in the night sky.

  The wind on the mountain was very cold, and Jian Ran's whole body trembled as he froze. When Jiang Chuan stopped the car at the top of the mountain, Jian Ran was silently pulling out the hay to wrap around himself - at the same time, he couldn't help but turn his head back to look - when he saw the night view behind him, which seemed to overlook the entire city of H, Jian Ran was stunned: He had been to H City countless times, and even in the first few years after entering the film industry, he almost took root in this city, but he never knew that H City could also have a mountain so high, on top of which you can see such a great night view.

  As the hamster in a grass cloak was about to be distracted by the dazzling night view, it heard a rustling sound coming from behind and turned its head back. With the light of the car lamp, he saw Jiang Chuan take out a small wooden box from the gift bag hanging on the motorcycle handlebars, turn it over, and pour out what appeared to be a necklace or other ornament onto the ground.

  Jian Ran: "Huh?"

  In the dimly lit gaze, Jiang Chuan pulled out a transparent sealed bag from his pocket. As he looked clearly at what was inside the bag, Jin Yan felt dizzy and subconsciously hugged the hay in her arms tightly - the little black thing in the bag had been handled very cleanly, the blood on its fur had been carefully wiped clean, and its belly had been sewn up very well. It closed its eyes, as if it were sleeping peacefully.

  Ginger carefully took it out and placed it in the wooden box that had been emptied of its decorations. After closing the lid, Ginger found a withered branch on the mountain top and dug a hole in a corner that should have the best view of the night scene. He then carefully placed the wooden box into the hole. However, after completing this series of actions, the man did not rush to bury the mouse. Instead, he turned his head, took Jian Ran out of the cage, and put him on his leg. He scratched Jian Ran's chin, lit a cigarette, and said in a muffled voice, "We won't be seeing each other again, Ah Fei. What do you want to say to Xiao Hei?"

  Crouching beside the small wooden box, I suddenly felt at a loss for what to do.

  When Jiang Chuan said "we won't see each other again", at that moment, the sadness reached its peak, as if it was about to burst out of his chest or throat. But then, Jing Yan discovered that he couldn't shed a single tear. He carefully sniffed through the gap in the tightly closed wooden box, smelling the wood, blood and the scent of Xiao Hei's body filling his nostrils. He stretched out his paw, seemingly futilely sweeping away the dirt that had fallen on the wooden box.

  Jiang Chuan slightly narrowed his eyes, curled up the corners of his mouth and let out a snort, causing thick white smoke to spew from between his lips. The man carefully picked up the milk tea that was squatting next to the small wooden box and put it back on his own leg, then personally used his hands to grab handfuls of dirt and sprinkle them over the wooden box, burying it.

  Throughout the whole process, the man was extremely silent.

  Even his breath was probably dispersed in the howling wind on the mountain top.

  Jiang Chuan is indeed a person with a bit of romantic cells, quietly thinking to himself that at least he buried Xiao Hei in probably the best place in H city.

  ……

  In the following days, the whole crew of "Republic of China Strange News" was under pressure because of Jiang Chuan's situation. The previously talkative Jiang Chuan had become his old self again, only responding with "oh", "uh-huh", or "I know" when talking to people, and long sentences were hardly heard from him anymore. If he hadn't been able to recite his lines properly, everyone would have suspected that he was so grief-stricken that his language skills had been affected.

  Jiang Luocheng helplessly said a rather classic phrase: "Those who don't know might think someone in our crew has died."

  The worst part is that no one thinks there's anything wrong with this statement.

  It's just a dead hamster, but Jiang Chuan's behavior would be considered an overreaction if it were someone else - but not when it comes to him. Probably because he has been involved in several high-profile incidents related to hamsters, such as the photo incident and that advertisement, even though it wasn't the same hamster. People subconsciously think Jiang Chuan is a very compassionate person, and this affection for animals can't be faked. Some people have even joked that they are not as important as his hamsters in his eyes.

  So at this point, everyone thought it was only natural that he would have such a reaction - not only that, but also on the night of the shoot, some staff members who participated in the filming were so guilty that they privately gathered together and concluded with a sigh: We have so many people and so many pairs of eyes, how can we not even take care of two hamsters.

  In this way, without Jiang Chuan blaming anyone, everyone began to voluntarily reflect on themselves.

  As for this, Jiang Chuan has said the most is "it doesn't matter" and "nothing".

  This matter was inexplicably exposed online, and some people mistakenly thought that the hamster in the advertisement had died, sighing with regret. Others rushed to leave messages to comfort Jiang Chuan, with one comment "Ahhhhh, male god, don't cry, I'll send you a truckload of hamsters, okay?" getting 30,000 likes and topping the list.

  Jiang Chuan never posts Weibo himself, so as usual it was Fang Yu who posted a Weibo for him, just five words: "Thanks, I'm fine."

  There is no picture at all.

  Recently, Mr. Agent has been very honest and didn't dare to play tricks, taking care of Jiang Chuan's emotional issues. He even directly contacted the company to let them suspend some recent publicity plans, holding back the press release a bit without rushing to send it out - because he was afraid that under the pressure of various negative energies, Jiang Chuan would really send a bomb to the company, which wouldn't be good.

  If the above is not bad enough, the worst and most heart-wrenching thing is that on the last day of filming, the final shot was unexpectedly arranged by some prophet to be extremely embarrassing.

  This shot was taken separately in the bamboo forest, so it was taken out and put at the end.

  In the end, Qiao Sheng did many good deeds and faced the tribulation before becoming an immortal. However, because he couldn't bear to part with worldly affairs (a subtle way of saying that he still had feelings for Jin Yu), he decided to give up on becoming an immortal and become a mortal instead, so he intentionally failed the tribulation.

  On that day, a strange phenomenon occurred, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring. The Taoist priest Hua Jin, who was originally in the wooden house, clearing his mind and preparing to completely forget this worldly encounter, suddenly sat up with a start. In the midst of the torrential rain and strong winds, he rushed into the bamboo forest where Qiao Sheng was crossing his tribulation, and found a mouse on its last breath at a certain spot - thinking that Qiao Sheng was going to die, Hua Jin held the mouse, which was covered in mud and had been beaten back to its original form, in the palm of his hand, and fell into a long silence.

  At this moment, a figure appeared behind him, an umbrella was opened to cover Huai Jin's head, and Qiao Sheng's voice sounded, asking Huai Jin: "Stinky Taoist, what are you doing here?"

  Huai Jin was taken aback for a moment, then immediately stood up and hugged the person standing behind him.

  The play ends here.

  When this plot was written, everyone thought it was ridiculous. At first, they were worried that the actors would be laughed at for holding a ugly hamster model and kneeling there, but now everyone is not worried about this at all, because under such circumstances, Jiang Chuan would laugh out loud only if he was possessed by a ghost.

  The day of shooting has finally arrived.

  There was no joyous atmosphere that day, the entire crew was gloomy from breakfast onwards, like they were preparing to film a horror movie. The production team finished their breakfast, threw down their bowls and wiped their mouths, then excused themselves to arrange for the water trucks needed for the artificial rain scene, and one by one, everyone else found excuses to leave as well. In the end, only Jiang Chuan, Fang Yu, Wang Mo, and Jin Ran were left at the table - Jin Ran had lost a lot of weight after Xiao Hei left, and every day he listlessly ate and drank, his weight constantly dropping.

  The most perfect proof is that now he can easily put his butt into the second floor of the small wooden house without even squeezing - yes, under some inexplicable reason, it quietly moved back to the second floor of the small wooden house.

  When Jiang Chuan was carefully holding a piece of apple and nibbling on it, Wang Mo, who was sitting at the table, was also trying to make conversation: "Jiang Chuan, after finishing this play, do you have any other plans? I have a director friend who has a new script and wants me to ask if you can spare some time to take a look - I heard that you are preparing to take on a new ancient costume drama, right? Ah, ancient costume dramas are great, ancient costume dramas...

  Jiang Chuan: “......”

  Wang Mo: "Costume dramas? Hmm, retro is good."

  Fang Yu silently looked at Wang Mo for a moment, using his eyes to signal to the pig teammate to shut up quickly. However, the latter didn't and instead thought for a moment before continuing to chatter on under Fang Yu's disdainful gaze: "Oh right, I'm reminding you, this might be your first time filming in the rain, so when you're shooting later, pay attention and lower your head a bit, try not to let the water from the sprinkler truck get into your eyes. I think they're drawing water from the pond over there, and that water is filthy. If you're not careful, you might catch an eye infection."

  Jiang Chuan looked up at him and nodded, "Oh" and nodded. Wang Mo ate another bite of tofu flower, thought for a moment, put down his spoon: "Fang Ge, is the eye drops ready?"

  "Ready for this, those who understand know."

  Fang Yu and Wang Mo exchanged an "ok" gesture, while speaking, they carefully glanced at Jiang Chuan with their peripheral vision - the two men's cautious behavior finally caught his attention. He put down the cup of soy milk in his hand and said, "I'm fine, what's going on? Are you afraid I'll burst into tears?"

  Wang Mo's awkward smile was guessed by Fang Yu.

  Jiang Chuan put down his utensils, grabbed the hamster on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then threw out a sentence "I'm going for a walk" and walked out of the hotel without looking back. Fang Yu was initially worried that he might do something out of line, but when the crew indicated they were ready to head to the film base, Fang Yu got in the car and prepared to have his assistant call Jiang Chuan, only to find him already sitting in the back seat, propping up his chin with one hand and gazing slightly narrowed-eyed at the window.

  Fang Yu silently endured the pain for a moment before telling the driver to drive on.

  Arriving on location, Jiang Chuan gets off the car, and the makeup artist sister rushes over to touch up his makeup. Meanwhile, all the cameras are in position. The script starts from where Hua Jin hears the thunder, gets up from the house, pushes open the door and rushes into the rain - because they're afraid Jiang Chuan's condition won't be good and will NG, the crew has also prepared several sets of identical costumes for him to change into. The makeup artist sister's hair dryer is also on standby at all times. When Jiang Luo Cheng shouts "start", under everyone's tense gaze, Jiang Chuan sits on the edge of a simple wooden bed, lowers his head, clenches his fists and falls deep in thought.

  When the bell symbolizing the thunderous sound of the latecomer rang out.

  The artificial rainfall car outside the small wooden house started sprinkling water with a "gurgling" sound.

  The person sitting quietly in the wooden house suddenly lifted his head - his face was solemn, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into a severe line. After a few seconds of inner struggle, he suddenly stood up, took three steps forward, and pushed open the door with a loud bang. He rushed out into the rain, which poured down in torrents, splashing mud everywhere and staining the hem of his white robes. His clothes quickly became soaked and clung to his body, and water droplets trickled down his forehead onto his face.

  The camera zooms in for a close-up of the man's face as he rushes into the rain.

  Jiang Luocheng shouted "cut" with satisfaction and told Jiang Chuan that this shot was done in one take and they could prepare for the next one.

  The people around immediately swarmed up to wipe the water off Jiang Chuan's face, reapply makeup, and the director told Jiang Chuan about the next shot's movement and precautions. Jiang Chuan listened silently, and after about ten minutes, preparations were made to enter the final shot - also the one that made everyone nervous - at this time, the crew had already dug a large pit in a certain open area of the bamboo forest beforehand, and the pit was decorated with a charred appearance from lightning. In the center of the pit was placed a wet and bedraggled hamster model. According to the script, Jiang Chuan should stumble over and fall into the pit, landing right next to the hamster model.

  When the time comes, the camera will give him and that dirty hamster a close-up - of course, post-production will make the hamster slightly more vivid and realistic.

  At first, Jiang Luocheng was worried that Jiang Chuan might not be in a good state and asked if he wanted to use a stunt double for the scene where he rolls down the pit. Jiang Chuan refused without hesitation, his reason being simply: "The pit isn't deep, I'll roll myself."

  Jiang Luocheng, after failing to persuade him multiple times, had no choice but to grit his teeth and let Jiang Chuan go on. As he hid behind the director's monitor, he could even feel the intense gaze of agent Fang Yu and the mouse in his palm piercing through his back like a chilling attack. He adjusted the monitor and saw that Jiang Chuan was also in position, so he gave a hand signal for the artificial rain to continue. When the heavy downpour once again enveloped the bamboo forest, the director holding the megaphone shouted: "Ready!"

  As Jiang Luocheng gave the order, everyone watched with wide eyes as Jiang Chuan stumbled into the camera frame - it was unclear whether he had really slipped and fallen or if it was intentional. In any case, after taking only two steps, he fell heavily into the mud and water, splashing mud onto his face. The people around him were tense, stretching their necks to look, and after a few seconds of seeing Jiang Chuan lying there unresponsive, they felt like they were being pierced by X-ray-like gazes from behind. Jiang Luocheng couldn't withstand the pressure and raised the megaphone in his hand, ready to shout "Cut", but at that moment, Jiang Chuan quietly got up.

  The photographer turned his head and glanced at Jiang Luocheng, who gritted his teeth and made a gesture for them to continue.

  Then they pushed the camera, chasing Jiang Chuan all the way from his fall on flat ground to him running to the edge of the big pit, stepping into thin air, and tumbling down with rolling mud and rocks, landing awkwardly at the bottom of the pit. Jiang Chuan's landing was very accurate, right next to a plush toy hamster. After falling, he let out a dull thud of pain, then turned his head, looking at the hamster covered in mud right beside his face with eyes that were slightly red...

  "Ah! Ah! Ah! Very good, just like this!" Jiang Luocheng shouted.

  Almost as soon as he shouted "Cut!", Jiang Chuan immediately got up from the ground - at this time, his costume was so dirty that it couldn't be looked at, the white part tightly stuck to his body revealing his perfectly toned muscles. After getting out of the pit, he didn't need the help of the staff on the side and quickly climbed out of the pit with his hands and feet, walking towards the rest area - Manager Fang Yu rushed over, took one look at the man's eyes which were redder than a ghost, and was immediately frightened: "It's just acting! It's just acting! Don't be so serious, don't be so serious - look, Ah Fei is still here! Don't cry!"

  The hamster held by Mr. Broker opened his arms and hugged his master's chin with a special tenderness.

  Jiang Chuan: “......”

  As a result, Jian Ran was pushed away by Jiang Chuan with just one finger on his belly.

  Hamster was stunned, and before he could react to why his master refused his loving hug, he heard Jiang Chuan say in a loud voice: "Cry your sister! Get the eye drops, my eyes are itching to death - what kind of ghost thing is being raised in that pond? Is it a biological weapon? ... Ah Fei, keep it away from me too, its back is still injured, what if I get infected with the water on it?"

  Jian Ran: "......"

  Fang Yu: "......"

  The hamster, which had lost its soothing and calming value, was roughly stuffed into a pocket, and the broker turned around and ran quickly to shout at his assistant for eye drops - the latter was already prepared, and the two were like a relay race, before Fang Yu could even get close, the assistant had already handed over the eye drops with his butt facing outwards.

  Because afterwards, Huai Jin will fall into a daze due to excessive grief and his eyes will turn blue, so Jiang Chuan can temporarily stop wearing the colored contacts. Fang Yu grabbed him and removed the contacts, rinsed his eyes with eye drops, and then had him sit down and apply a hot towel for a bit. After about 15 minutes, Jiang Chuan took off the towel and stood up, turning to ask Fang Yu: "Are my eyes still red?"

  He took a closer look: "There's still some redness, possibly a scald from the hot towel, but it doesn't look as terrible as when you first crawled out of that hole."

  Jiang Chuan let out an "oh" and turned to call over the makeup artist sister to touch up his makeup, then had Jiang Luocheng hurry up and start filming while his eyes were still red.

  Being professional to the point that all the staff on set were stunned: Suddenly felt that from head to toe, I was worried about being affected by Jiang Chuan's small mistakes, which would affect the shooting effect and acting quality, and I was simply looking down on people with dog eyes, plus being quite stupid.

  It was clear that Jiang Luocheng had also put his mind at ease after filming the first two scenes, and he sat behind the monitor to remind Jiang Chuan a few words about how to act next. After seeing Jiang Chuan nodding in understanding, he picked up the megaphone again to remind everyone "to boost their spirits and do well in the final battle". The entire crew responded sparsely with a "yes", and at this time, there was finally some excitement and joy in the air before the end of filming.

  When the clapperboard for the final scene was struck down.

  Jiang Chuan, already kneeling in the muddy water of the big pit, picked up that dirty hamster - and just this one action, others present may not know, but Jian Ran, who directly witnessed how the man buried Xiao Hei on the mountain top, clearly knew that Jiang Chuan was still in character. He knelt there holding the hamster, just like he did that day when he crouched by the wooden box containing Xiao Hei's body, at a loss for what to do.

  In the eyes that were set off by the faintly reddened whites, the pupils appeared an even deeper blue. The complex emotions of loss, confusion and words that couldn't be spoken had burst out in an instant - the entire filming site fell silent, the crew who had been chatting with each other also quieted down, they all gathered behind Jiang Luocheng's monitor to watch the man's emotional changes on screen.

  Someone was heard heaving a sigh of admiration.

  At this time, the lens moves.

  A pair of feet appeared on the monitor screen, those footsteps were light and steady, even when slipping into the mud pit, they seemed particularly calm. The camera slowly panned up, revealing Wang Mo's profile, he stood behind Jiang Chuan, also drenched in the heavy rain, at this moment his hand tightly grasped an umbrella. After a few seconds of silence, a smile that was hard to describe suddenly bloomed on the corner of his lips, and then, he opened the umbrella over Jiang Chuan's head, reciting the final line of the entire drama...

  "Smelly Taoist, what are you doing here?"

  The man kneeling on the ground in the lens heard a voice and his body shook.

  Suddenly, without warning, he stood up abruptly, his towering figure exuding anxiety and anger. He turned around, his piercing blue eyes scanning the surroundings, and fiercely pulled the person behind him into a tight embrace. The umbrella in the hands of the caught-off-guard person fell to the muddy ground with a soft "plop". As the man trembled slightly, exhaling a long breath, he rested his perfectly chiseled jaw on the shoulder of the person in his arms. After a brief moment, the smile at the corner of the lips of the person being held became even clearer - and this time, that smile was exceptionally pure.

  The rain has stopped.

  Qiao Sheng stretched out his hand and hugged Huai Jin back.

  Thus ends "Republic of China's Strange Stories".

  ……

  Yes, roughly so.

  No matter whether it's a TV series or a movie, the ending is always good - thinking that people who have died are not dead, and even those who have already died come back to life - just like in "Republic of China Strange Record", as a hamster, Qiao Sheng finally gave up on becoming an immortal and exchanged it for a mortal body, and lived happily ever after with Daoist Huaijin, living a fairy tale-like ending like Cinderella, in order to leave no regrets in the audience's hearts, authors and screenwriters are all working hard to create a good ending.

  In contrast, reality, which had a similar plot development at first, seems so ironic.

  If Xiao Hei could also be reborn, no matter where on earth or in what form, I wonder if he would return to their side like Qiao Sheng and Huai Jin did?

  She thought for a moment in silence.

  But soon he realized that he was wasting his time - because he knew, this was all just a one-sided fantasy, and such things could never happen.

  ……

  Jiang Luocheng shouted the final "cut" in this long TV series that lasted for more than half a year. Jiang Chuan let go of Wang Mo, who smiled and patted his shoulder; at the same time, everyone on set temporarily put down their work and started applauding warmly to celebrate the successful completion of the final shot. Everyone cheered and hugged each other, celebrating the end of this prolonged "torture" and the early-to-bed, early-to-rise lifestyle that had finally come to an end. From today on, they could finally take a good rest before embarking on new journeys.

  But all of that is clearly for later.

  Fang Yu grabbed Jiang Chuan and first made him take a few photos in the bamboo forest, looking disheveled. Then, he dragged him onto the nanny car, where he was given eye drops again and wrapped in a blanket to dry off. After changing into warm clothes, Jiang Chuan immediately asked Fang Yu for his hamster. Fang Yu handed it over, feeling guilty for making Jiang Chuan look so pitiful. The man played with the hamster for a while before Fang Yu took photos of them together, along with the previous messy "mud-covered person" photos, and posted them on Weibo with the caption: "_The Republic of China's Strange Happenings_ has successfully wrapped up filming!"

  When Fang Yu was lowering his head to scroll through Weibo, Jiang Chuan was carefully examining the healing of the wound on the hamster's back with his fingers - Jin Ran was very cooperative and let him flip over on his own back, because he only felt a slight itch when the man did this, which was quite comfortable. The faint melancholy in his heart that had been stirred up by the perfect ending of "Republic of China Strange Record" was slightly alleviated. Just then, he suddenly heard Fang Yu, who was lowering his head to scroll through Weibo, exclaim "hmm?"

  Jiang Chuan also stopped in his tracks, raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Fang Yu: "What's wrong?"

  "Do you still remember that 16-year-old foreign singer who was in a car accident and I mentioned earlier? The manager raised his hand with the phone shaking, "The news released by the foreign media this morning said he woke up."
