4505 The Other Side 474
If he had not been leaning against the wall when Gong Jie released him, he would have slid weakly to the ground. Gong Jie rubbed his head lovingly before leaving.
By the time the actor snapped out of his daze, the other man was already gone.
…
That night, after much hesitation, he went to look for Alice. He did not bother to beat around the bush, and so got straight to the point. “He said that he has some matters to attend to and needs to go on a long trip…”
!!“He told you that?”
Hua Jin suddenly became agitated. “What exactly is going on? You must know!”
Alice looked at him as if he were a fool.
“What do you think? I’ve known him for so long, but I’ve never seen him so devoted to anyone.”
“It has to do with me?” The actor was even more taken aback. “I thought…”
“I remember mentioning to you that the remnants of the Holy Temple haven’t been completely eliminated. They’re looking for you. Gong Jie received an invitation from the International Federation, so those remnants naturally have to be eliminated. Allowing them to remain in this world can lead to a disaster.”
So… It really had something to do with him? Was Gong Jie trying to protect him? So why didn’t Gong Jie want to tell him about it?’
“Those believers are all terrorists!” The actor became agitated. “How cruel are these people? Won’t it be dangerous for Gong Jie to go?”
“You’re way underestimating him. Besides, there are so many people protecting him. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.”
“Even if nothing happens…” The actor clenched his fists. “What if he gets hurt?”
“It’s hard to tell that you care about him so much. I think the two of you have a good relationship.”
“You’re thinking too much.”
Hua Jin said righteously, “I just don’t want him to get hurt for my sake.”
“You sound so convincing. Isn’t your matter his business? Moreover, the grudge between Hurricane and the Sacred Temple can be considered to have been formed. Apart from you being a factor, there’s also his temper. Several of his beloved subordinates have died tragically in East Africa because of the Sacred Temple. He is out to take revenge.”
The actor sat on the sofa in silence.
He suddenly looked up and asked, “Can I go with him?”
“Forget it. You’ll only be sending yourself to death if you go,” Alice said.
The actor said angrily, “I made my contributions in East Africa too. It wasn’t as though I was a burden.”
“If it weren’t for you, Xiao Jie wouldn’t have almost died there in East Africa.”
The man fell silent, feeling guilty.
“Actually… I’ve already sensed that his feelings for you are a little special. I didn’t think too much about it at first, and he definitely didn’t think too much about it either. However, during that period of time in East Africa, the calamities he faced might have played a part in allowing him to confront his feelings. You know, many things can only be figured out when you’re on the brink of death.”
Hua Jin asked, “Is this the first time he’s offended someone so badly?”
“This is definitely not the worst. There was one time he almost died, but this time, it’s different from the past.”
“Different how?”
“Huh?!” Alice looked at the actor as if he were an incurable fool. “Don’t you understand? You almost lost your life. You were unconscious for a long time while on the vessel. When you came back, you had a high fever. You wouldn’t have known this, but when you were unconscious, Gong Jie thought you wouldn’t make it. You didn’t eat or drink for days. And it was the same for him.”
“…”
“He really thought he was going to lose you.”
