Chapter 114 Why shouldn't I help him?
The stranger had already left. After a brief discussion with the producer, Yuan Wang decided to strengthen security measures during the recording.
Long Xiaoxiao obediently tugged at Yuan Wang's sleeve and looked at the crowd around her. Everyone's bright eyes clearly showed their love and curiosity, but they didn't get to see her for long before Yuan Wang led Long Xiaoxiao into the room.
"Xiaoxiao, next time you see someone like that, stay away from them," Yuan Wang instructed.
Although Yuan Wang knew that Long Xiaoxiao was highly skilled in martial arts and that ordinary people could not defeat her, he was still somewhat worried, fearing that Long Xiaoxiao might encounter some accident.
Long Xiaoxiao nodded without saying a word, rubbing her eyes and looking a little sleepy.
They had been in the car for a long time, and Long Xiaoxiao was not resting well. Yuan Wang could tell at a glance that Long Xiaoxiao was tired, so he quickly told her to go to the bathroom to wash up and go to sleep.
Long Xiaoxiao doesn't like sleeping in unfamiliar beds, and after a long night of travel, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Before going to bed, Yuan Wang did some work. He turned around and saw that Long Xiaoxiao was already fast asleep. He couldn't help but smile. He also quietly got ready and went to bed.
When she woke up, it was already noon. Long Xiaoxiao was groggily pulled out of bed by Yuan Wang.
"Sister, shall we go play today?" Long Xiaoxiao gradually woke up, letting Yuan Wang help her change her clothes, and looked up at her to ask.
Yuan Wang smiled and shook his head, explaining, "No, the recording doesn't start until tomorrow. It's lunchtime now, so go eat something before you go to sleep."
After finishing her conversation and changing her clothes, Yuan Wang took Long Xiaoxiao's hand and prepared to go downstairs. However, she hesitated after taking the first step. The strange behavior of the stranger last night had startled her, and now she was always worried about encountering any odd people when she took Long Xiaoxiao out.
However, Long Xiaoxiao didn't give Yuan Wang much time to hesitate. She excitedly opened the door and rushed out as soon as she reached the door, leaving Yuan Wang no choice but to follow her.
The two walked to the elevator door, pressed the button, and the door opened shortly afterward. They went inside and stood still.
At that moment, a familiar figure appeared at the door of their room. It was Liu Shu. He seemed to have placed something at the door, and after looking around furtively, he left.
When Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao arrived at the restaurant downstairs, the entire production crew had already arrived. Upon seeing Long Xiaoxiao, they greeted her with smiles.
Long Xiaoxiao ran over with a patter, curiously raising her head to look around at the food on the table. She nodded when she saw the crayfish, then turned to look at the crab and asked curiously, "What's that?"
Everyone looked in the direction she was looking, and were somewhat surprised. How could a little fairy who had lived for who knows how long not even recognize a crab?
The system was comfortably watching TV in the system space when it turned its head and sensed the sudden stillness in the outside atmosphere. It was startled and realized what Long Xiaoxiao had said.
Before the system could come up with a solution, Yuan Wang calmly spoke up: "It's a crab, an animal that lives in water. It's quite delicious. Would you like to have some?"
Long Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, excitedly reaching out to grab the crab on the plate not far away.
But even after catching the crab, she still didn't know how to open it. Long Xiaoxiao took a bite, and the crab shell shattered in her mouth, startling Yuan Wang.
"You can't eat this shell, Xiao Xiao." Yuan Wang said, taking out his tools to open a crab for Long Xiao Xiao and feeding it to her mouth. Long Xiao Xiao opened her mouth wide, took a bite, and her eyes darted around.
"How was it?" everyone asked Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, looking as if she was thinking seriously. After thinking for a long time, she finally shook her head and said, "It's not bad."
That means it doesn't taste good either.
Everyone laughed and didn't dwell on the matter too much.
Yuan Wang continued peeling shrimp for Long Xiaoxiao, and Long Xiaoxiao reciprocated by feeding Yuan Wang, creating a harmonious scene.
Outside the hotel, a disheveled figure was loitering. It was none other than the stranger who had caused a scene at the hotel the night before. His gaze kept drifting towards the hotel entrance, and his face looked even more haggard than before.
How awful... how awful! Why didn't they help him? Why?
The man thought about his now-broken body, and his mind was filled with resentment.
Why him of all people? He's only acted recklessly a few times, so why is he the one who got caught?
Thinking back to the madness of being taken to a foot massage parlor a few months ago, and then to the despair of being diagnosed with HIV a few months later due to physical discomfort, the man was indignant.
He had actually submitted an application to apply for the use of the drug Bizeshengxi, but because the Z City Hospital had recently received many terminally ill patients who needed Bizeshengxi, his waiting list was long ago.
Nowadays, hospitals determine the waiting list for patients based on the severity of their condition. As long as the condition is not life-threatening and can be cured with other effective drugs, the waiting list will be moved up to the next level.
The man actually understood this principle, but his wife found his HIV diagnosis certificate and learned about his previous visits to unlicensed foot massage parlors. After a huge fight, she divorced him.
The man now feels that fate has been too unfair to him, and even has a tendency to want to infect others with his illness.
The more he thought about it, the angrier the man became.
Why? Why?!
**
At this moment, Long Xiaoxiao and Yuan Wang, who were in the hotel, were completely unaware of everything outside. The system had recently become obsessed with several TV series in this world and was busy watching them. Thinking that with Yuan Wang around, nothing serious should happen, they paid no attention to the outside world.
When Liu Shu came downstairs, everyone was surrounding Long Xiaoxiao, asking her all sorts of questions.
"Little one, what is the underworld like? Is there a Meng Po (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with forgetfulness)?"
Long Xiaoxiao blinked, wondering blankly what the underworld was.
Before Long Xiaoxiao could answer, someone else asked, "Hey, what are the gods in heaven like? Are they like the Azure Dragon God?"
Where have all the monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas gone?
"Do you know the King of Hell, Xiaoxiao? Can you extend my parents' lifespan?"
Long Xiaoxiao originally wanted to ask them what they were asking, but after realizing that she couldn't get a word in edgewise, she simply buried her head and obediently ate the lobster meat that Yuan Wang had peeled for her.
As Liu Shu walked towards the group, someone noticed him and looked up in surprise, asking, "Brother Shu, why are you only coming down now?"
Lu Shuyao and Fang Xiaoxiao had already said hello and didn't come down for dinner. They needed to control their weight, so no one paid much attention to the movements of the guests other than Long Xiaoxiao.
