He recalled the early days when the two of them had to perform a forfeit in a game. Their lips had brushed against each other’s through a thin piece of tissue.
He recalled every scene with him until the time they were in East Africa. Especially the scene of Gong Jie sleeping so peacefully in his lap, of the man risking his life to rescue him…
If Gong Jie did not like him enough, why would a proud man like him take on all that risk to come to him?
Gong Jie liked him… This realization completely defied his logic…

It wasn’t as though he had never been liked by other men in the past. However, there had never been a time when he felt any emotions comparable to the tumultuous waves caused by Gong Jie’s words…
…
The actor recuperated in bed for a few days, during which time Gong Jie did not appear again. Alice had also visited him and gave him an update on how Natalia was doing.
Natalia was suffering typical post trauma stress disorder. After all, she was only a young child. Seeing Professor Romanka being beheaded was a bloody scene that had become a nightmare for her.
For the past few days, Alice, Youyou, and Gong Jie had been taking turns to accompany her.
Natalia had been badly traumatized. This was obvious from her sleep pattern. Often, she would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. She would break down and cry.
She locked herself in the room alone. Whenever she heard someone outside the door, she would hide under the bed and tremble in fear. Once, when Alice was drinking red wine and the girl saw the scarlet liquid, she burst into tears as if she had seen blood. When she saw ropes and metal objects, especially chains, she would subconsciously avoid them.
After a long ordeal suffering nightmares, Natalia developed a high fever and lay in bed for a long time. Gong Jie had no choice but to accompany her, so he rarely came to see Hua Jin.
After his high fever subsided, Hua Jin recovered very quickly and very soon was able to get out of bed and walk around. When he heard that Natalia had a fever, he wanted to take a look.
However, Alice advised him against it.
“Why?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Because she’s afraid of you.”
“Afraid?”
The actor did not understand. “Why?”
“I don’t visit Natalia often now either. Because you and I, along with her, were all victims of the hijack. When she sees you, it will remind her of the torture and shock she suffered during the period of being held hostage. Moreover, she has a high fever and isn’t conscious. If you go, she might have the illusion that she’s still in the Sacred Temple and hasn’t been rescued.”
During the time they were held hostage, Natalia had sunk into despair. To the point that she felt they were all doomed. Even after returning to Hurricane Island, Natalia kept asking Alice if she was dreaming, if she hadn’t woken up, if they were still in the hands of the believers of the Sacred Temple, if they were still in that dark and damp abandoned basement being held hostage.
Every time this happened, Alice felt very worried.
“Gong Jie is with her now. Don’t worry too much. He’ll take good care of her.”
Alice paused for a moment before continuing, “Xiao Jie has changed a lot. He actually knows how to take care of others.”
The actor’s eyes flashed a little at the mention of Gong Jie. Alice was such a sharp person that she quickly noticed the change in his expression.
