486 Digital Devil (2/2)

”You aren't any different,” retorted Xiu which made Ying look around sheepishly. ”I know something is wrong with the way my brain circuit works but then again, what's wrong with that? Besides, I only want to gift happiness to the ones I love. It makes me feel accomplished like it makes you feel content seeing everyone being proud of you. If you think I'm nosy and annoying so be it! I don't really care!”

Ying contemplated her words for a long while before she took out her phone and texted Han Bohai asking, ”Do you have time?”

It hadn't been a minute when she replied to Xiu, ”See? He isn't replying. He must really be busy. Let's go inside now.” Xiu frowned at her in displeasure but still followed her inside. Apparently, they both had stubborn personalities.

....

Meanwhile.

”Brother Han, your skin is flawless. You're making me feel self-conscious and I'm a girl! God is being unfair!”

Han Bohai opened his eyes to stare at his assistant who was his personal makeup artist as well and said, ”Xiao Qing, I have a headache. Please, don't talk.”

”Is it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital?” Wen Qing, his assistant was immediately worried to hear that. ”I think we should cancel the shoot for today.”

He rubbed his temples and shook his head, ”It's okay. I can manage. I can't let everyone waste time just because of my headache.” She hesitated but nodded in understanding. His phone chimed and she literally saw his eyes sparkling in hope but after checking his phone, his eyes dimmed in disappointment yet again and he closed his eyes.

”Brother Han, are you expecting a call? A text from someone maybe?” she voiced out her curiosity in a small voice.

”What? No way!” He denied immediately.

”Then how come you have been looking at your phone every five minutes? It's been going on since yesterday.” Now, she was suspicious of seeing him like this.

”I was just checking social media...” he answered which made her suspicion solidify.

”But you had never liked using your phone. Even your Weibo handle is managed by me and you only agreed to make an account because the company asked for it.” He rubbed his chin awkwardly as she went on, ”And you often describe social media as a digital devil that can take someone's life. You frequently voiced out how you despise social media.”

”Brother Han! It's time for your shoot!”

Hearing that voice, Han Bohai jumped up to run from his suspicious assistant. Why was she asking so much? But it was also true that he had been looking at his phone way too much. He couldn't help it. He was indeed waiting for Ying to contact him but she didn't. He left his phone in his van and went out for the shoot.

That's why he missed seeing that the moment he walked out, he got the most awaited text of his life.
