Chapter 200 - Fans Visit the Sick

This sleep wasn't particularly good at all.

Even with the system-provided items, Xiao He still woke up feeling sore all over and mentally exhausted.

He glanced at the nearby beds.

Everyone else was still asleep, even the young assistant had fallen asleep leaning against the bedside.

Xiao He got up silently, checked on Liu Rulan and Xiao Chen's conditions, then quietly left the hospital room.

This time, Xiao He didn't go to the police to ask about the case investigation results, but instead came to a place near the hospital and ordered himself a bowl of noodles.

Come to think of it, aside from that glass of lemon water last night, he basically hadn't eaten anything.

Now that the owner served up a steaming hot bowl of noodles, the aroma aggressively invaded his nostrils, and Xiao He instantly felt his stomach growling.

A powerful sense of hunger belatedly surged into his brain.

He immediately picked up his chopsticks, ready to start eating.

"Brother Xiao?"

A timid female voice sounded beside him.

Xiao He's chopstick-wielding hand paused.

He turned his head and saw two girls sitting at the table next to him.

It was currently around 6 AM, and the noodle shop wasn't particularly crowded. Aside from Xiao He, there were only these two girls at this table, plus two middle-aged men on early shifts at the other two tables in front.

Xiao He nodded directly: "It's me."

Since it was quite early, he had only worn a hat, so being recognized wasn't unexpected.

"Ah, it really is Brother Xiao!"

Xue Yiwei covered her mouth excitedly.

"Brother Xiao, how are you doing? Were you injured in the car accident?" Dong Nizhen also asked with excitement and concern.

Xiao He put down his chopsticks: "I'm fine. No one in our car was seriously injured, otherwise you wouldn't see me eating here."

At the same time, he casually asked: "What are you two doing here so early?"

Judging by their outfits, they didn't look like they were here for medical treatment queues.

"To see Brother Xiao!" one of the girls said without hesitation.

Xiao He looked at the two girls in front of him with surprise.

Huh?

See me?

"Yes, yes! We're both Brother Xiao's fans!"

"Actually, after Brother Xiao's car accident, everyone was really worried about you and discussed coming to the hospital to visit you. It's just that since Little Black and I both live nearby, we got here faster."

They never expected that Xiao He would come out for breakfast himself and they'd run into him.

"I see—"

Being genuinely cared for by a group of fans naturally moved Xiao He deeply. However, the next moment, he still slightly furrowed his brows and said: "I'm fine, tell them not to come. We'll be discharged from the hospital this morning, so everyone might come for nothing."

Besides, this is a hospital, mostly filled with patients and their families. If such a large group of fans came wandering around the hospital, it would definitely disrupt the normal order here.

Although touched by these fans' love, Xiao He also really didn't want them to disturb other people's normal work.

"Actually, many people said the same thing." Dong Nizhen said somewhat apologetically, "Most fans haven't come, and Little Black and I only came because we live very close—"

Afraid that Xiao He might mistake them for irrational stalker fans, Dong Nizhen quickly added: "We've been very well-behaved, we didn't go into the hospital to disturb anyone. We were just looking around the periphery and didn't affect anyone else."

About this point, Xiao He naturally believed them.

"I believe you." He smiled, "Do you need autographs or photos?"

Xue Yiwei's eyes lit up, and she happily handed over her small notebook: "Yes, yes! Brother Xiao might not recognize me, my ID is Little Box."

Xiao He understood: "It's you, I have some impression."

Then he picked up a pen and quickly signed for Xue Yiwei.

Dong Nizhen also came over, looking at Xiao He with anticipation: "Brother Xiao, I'm Crane Little Black! Do you remember me?"

Xiao He also vaguely remembered: "The one who often posts meme stickers in my comment section?"

Dong Nizhen excitedly nodded frantically: "Yes, that's me, that's me."

Xiao He couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

She looked like such a well-behaved young girl, yet she posted such abstract meme stickers.

Some of the meme stickers were so abstract that Xiao He once thought the person behind this ID was a rough-looking guy.

Meeting Xiao He's strange gaze, Dong Nizhen suddenly remembered those abstract meme stickers she'd sent in the comment section, and her whole body instantly petrified—

Ahhhh, she never expected her idol to actually remember her ID!!!

Ahhh, if she'd known earlier, she wouldn't have posted abstract meme stickers in the comment section to attract Brother Xiao's attention!

Who would have thought Brother Xiao would actually remember it!!!

If time could flow backward, she absolutely, definitely wouldn't play abstract in Brother Xiao's comment section!

Wuwuwu—

Dong Nizhen cried silently in her heart while maintaining a smile on her face, handing over the postcard she had prepared in advance: "Brother Xiao, please sign!"

Xiao He quickly signed for her too.

After signing, Xiao He chatted with them for a while. Hearing that many people in their fan group had been so worried they couldn't sleep all night, Xiao He thought about it and came up with an idea.

"Then I'll start a temporary live stream."

Xiao He acted immediately, directly logging into his Douyin account, preparing to do a live stream right here.

Xue Yiwei's eyes lit up: "Ah, Brother Xiao is going to stream?"

Xiao He nodded while opening the live stream: "Yes, just casually chat with everyone."

This was exactly the right time to stream! Few people were around at this hour, most were still in bed. Streaming from the noodle shop wouldn't attract too many fans to come watch in person, and after the stream ended, he would announce that he and his manager had been discharged from the hospital. That way, if other fans woke up and checked their phone messages, they wouldn't make a wasted trip to the hospital to find him.

Hmm, truly a method that kills multiple birds with one stone!

However, Xiao He was really too hungry. After borrowing a phone stand from Xue Yiwei, he decisively picked up his chopsticks and took a big slurp of noodles.

Mmm, so touching, finally getting to eat!

The starving Xiao He immediately went all out, forgetting himself as he began eating like a hungry wolf.

Completely unaware that the number of viewers in the nearby phone live stream was skyrocketing.

Even Dong Nizhen and Xue Yiwei beside him were secretly using their phones to frantically notify people in their group chats, or directly making phone calls to wake people up to watch the stream.

By the time Xiao He finished devouring his bowl of noodles, there were already over thirty thousand people watching the live stream.

Xiao He: ...

Looking at the rapidly scrolling bullet comments, Xiao He was somewhat dumbfounded.

He truly hadn't expected so many people would be watching at this hour!

Weren't young people supposed to be sleeping at this time?

However, what Xiao He didn't know was that while many people were indeed night owls, if they were still awake at this hour in the morning, it could only mean one thing—

They had pulled an all-nighter.

[Victory for the all-nighter crew! It's Brother Xiao completely unharmed!]

[Great, seeing Brother Xiao is okay puts my mind at ease.]

[Ahh, so happy, Brother Xiao, I'm just glad you're finally okay!]

[Hehe, I really don't understand. Fans are all worried about him, yet he's here eating well and drinking fine. This person feels so cold-hearted.]

[? Hey hater, tone it down, your true colors are practically sticking to the screen.]
