4427 The Other Side 396
In his daze, Gong Jie sensed that someone was sitting by the window. He struggled to open his eyes, and saw a familiar figure sitting by his bed.
It was a woman.
The man furrowed his brow as he felt a hand gently placed on his forehead.
“You’re awake?”
“…”
“What’s wrong? Does your head hurt?” Mu Qingcheng’s gentle voice rang in his ears.
Was it his mother…
Gong Jie suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He leaned over and subconsciously hugged her waist.
“Mom…”
…
Pat… pat… pat…
The hand that had been on his forehead began to pat his face gently.
A disdainful voice then rang out. “Wake up, wake up…”
Gong Jie finally came to his senses and widened his eyes. At this point, a ray of sunlight shot in through the window. Only then did he realize that the sky had cleared. The sun was high in the sky, and it was bright outside.
Under the bright sunlight, he finally saw the person in front of him clearly. Hua Jin was staring at him speechlessly.
The man jolted upright in bed and grabbed him by the collar.
“What are you doing!?”
“Hey, what’s with you? Why are you glaring at me so fiercely?” The actor looked aggrieved. “What a waste of effort, taking care of you all night.”
“You? Took care of me?” The man was skeptical. “What happened to me?”
The actor sized him up and probed, “Don’t you remember what happened last night?”
What happened last night?
Frowning, Gong Jie looked at the actor and blurted out something that nearly choked him to death. “We slept together?”
Could it be that he mistook Hua Jin to be some woman and something had happened between them?
Although he was drunk and could not tell one person from another, he had to admit that Hua Jin was indeed more beautiful than a woman. However, he prided himself on not being the sort of man who did all sorts of crazy things when drunk.
“…”
The actor’s face reddened. “Are you out of your mind?”
Gong Jie snorted. “What happened last night, then?”
“You were drunk and I was afraid that you’d throw up all over yourself in the middle of the night, so I stayed by your bed all night.”
“Throw up?”
“Uh… I remember there was a man on the news. He was drunk and threw up everywhere. However, because he didn’t clear the vomit in his mouth cavity, it went into his trachea and he eventually suffocated… Wouldn’t it be a pity if you died because you were drunk?”
The man’s expression turned even uglier. Did the actor had such a low opinion of him?
Hua Jin snapped at his cold expression. “Heh, how heartless.”
Gong Jie stood up angrily and was about to turn around when he sucked in a deep breath and gently held his forehead. Because he had had a few drinks the night before and was now hungover, his head hurt terribly.
He rubbed his forehead and said with exasperation, “I’m sorry, just then I thought… I thought you were my mother.”
“Your mother…” Hearing this, the actor immediately turned around and sat back on the bed. He asked curiously, “Is your mother’s name Mu Qingcheng?”
“Yeah.”
“When you were drunk last night, you kept calling ‘Mommy’. Were you thinking of your mother?”
“Yeah.”
“Shishi and her father have reconciled. This is probably your mother’s wish!”
The family was finally reunited. If Mu Qingcheng were to find out about this in the netherworld, she would be greatly consoled!
