What burden does Kit carry behind his glamorous appearance?
This is a question Tina never thought about before, but now she starts to ponder!
In the end, Chandler brings Kit to his villa, where the Hunter family’s private doctor examines Kit’s injuries.
Fortunately, these injuries are only superficial, not serious.
“However, the bruising on the face will take at least a week to fully fade,” the doctor says.
“Can’t it heal faster?” Tina interjects, considering that Kit is a celebrity and still has a film to shoot. If fans see the injuries on his face, it will definitely lead to negative speculation.
“That’s difficult. When I say a week, it’s already the fastest time,” the doctor explains.
Kit, less concerned than Tina, says, “It’s okay, these injuries can be covered up with makeup. They won’t be noticeable from a distance.”
His casual remark catches Tina off guard, “Do you often get injured?
“What?” he looks at her, raising an eyebrow.
“Um, I was just wondering if you… are used to covering up wounds with makeup?” she says.
“Being an idol, it’s a common thing,” he says nonchalantly.
Tina tightly purses her lips, suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She always thought Kit was glamorous, even if he worked hard and struggled for his dreams.
It’s true that injuries are not uncommon for idol stars like him, maybe from dancing or acting… but she never imagined he would be injured like this.
What about before? Has he experienced situations like this? How many times has he gone through this?
The doctor gave Kit some ointment for external use and left.
Kit stood up and said to Chandler, “Thanks for today. I just called my agent and he will be here to pick me up soon.”
Tina opened her mouth to speak but didn’t know what to say.
“Thank you for today,” Kit said, looking at her and then glancing at Chandler. “But I hope what happened today can be kept confidential.”
“Of course, it will be kept confidential,” Tina quickly replied.
Shortly after, Kit’s agent arrived. After they left, Tina suddenly hugged Chandler and buried her head in his chest.
“What’s wrong?” Chandler asked, looking down at the person in his arms.
“I just feel really sad,” Tina whispered.
“Because of what happened to Kit today?”
he asked.
“Yes.” In fact, what disgusted her more than Mr. Perkins’ vile actions towards
Kit was… From Mr. Perkins’ words, she could tell that all of this was somehow connected to Kit’s father.
How could a father do such things? How could he push his own child into this situation just for resources!
“Do you sympathize with him?” Chandler asked again.
“I do sympathize, but I also want to help him, at least to ensure he won’t encounter these things again in the future,” she said.
“But don’t you think that by doing this, you’re going beyond what a fan should do?” Chandler’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Didn’t you just say that you wanted to be a well-behaved fan?”
She looked up abruptly. “But-”
He interrupted her. “If you help him today, and tomorrow he encounters something else, are you going to continue helping him? Until when do you plan to help him? For a lifetime?”
Tina paused, not knowing how to refute his words.
“Tina…” Chandler sighed, gently brushing his fingers against her cheek. “Do you really see him only as an idol you like?”
Tina blinked her eyes and asked, “Then what should it be? What should it be?”
Chandler pursed his thin lips and didn’t answer.
It was Tina who raised her hands and wrapped them around Chandler’s neck. “I only saw Kit as an idol because I thought he was hardworking and talented. He shouldn’t be treated like that. I think I can help him, at least I want to make sure he doesn’t experience things like today in the future.”
She paused and said, “It’s just that fans hope their idols can live a better life. Can’t you understand this kind of feeling?”
Chandler’s gaze flickered slightly. It was indeed hard for him to understand.
He had never been a fan of anyone, and he didn’t really understand the emotions fans had for their idols. But he could try to understand!
“But are you jealous again?” Tina looked at Chandler and asked.
Jealous…right, because of her sympathy, because of her understanding of the fans’ feelings towards idols.
“If I say yes, what would you do?” he asked in return.
“I will tell you over and over again that I love you, and then, with my actions…” she said, standing on tiptoe and taking the initiative to kiss his lips, “No matter how many idol stars I may like, it’s just admiration. Maybe I admire their singing, their dancing, their performance, their acting…but I know that’s different from love.”
Tina tried to deepen the kiss. It seemed like he was becoming more and more jealous. Did that mean he loved her more and more?!
“Chandler, the person I love is you, and I think that will never change.” Because she was the one he saw when he was born.
Because he had been by her side throughout her life.
There were so many reasons, so…her love for him was so natural!
Kit returned to his private apartment with his manager.
“What happened today? How did you end up with the Hunter family and Miss Stephenson?” the manager asked, startled when he received Kit’s call asking him to pick someone up at Chandler’s villa.
“I happened to meet them at today’s dinner.” Kit said, sounding tired.
“But what about the injuries on your face? How did you end up at the Hunter family’s villa?” the manager still found it strange.
“The injuries on my face had nothing to do with them. I was injured by someone else, and…I messed up with the resources. There won’t be any more resources.” Kit said.
The manager hesitated, as if wanting to say something, but looking at the injuries on Kit’s face and his exhausted appearance, he finally said, “Rest well. I’ll clear your schedule for the next two days so you can recover.”
“Okay.” Kit nodded.
After the manager left, he wearily lay back on the sofa.
Closing his eyes, flashes of today’s scenes appeared in his mind.
He had already resigned himself to it. Even if it was dirty, he had accepted it.
But she burst in like that, saw his most embarrassing scene, and became his hero, rescuing him from despair.
Is it redemption?
But if she really is his redemption, why did she appear so late? And why does she already have someone else by her side?
Just then, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the room!
Kit picked up the phone and saw that it was his father calling.
Without even thinking, he knew what his father wanted to say.
Just hold on a little longer, he told himself, as long as he can endure until he has enough ability to earn more money and pave the way for his future, then he can break free from his father’s control.
He answered the call, and sure enough, his father’s voice came through the phone, “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t I tell you to entertain Mr. Perkins properly? Why did Mr. Perkins say you’re ignorant? And what’s going on with the Stephenson family’s young lady and Chandler?”
Because Mr. Perkins was vague in his complaint on the phone, Edmond had to call and ask himself.
“When Mr. Perkins acted inappropriately towards me, Miss. Stephenson happened to witness it, so she gave him a beating. Then Mr. Hunter came to find Miss. Stephenson and saw the scene.” Kit answered simply and clearly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, his father spoke again, “What about Miss. Stephenson…”
“Miss. Stephenson seemed to have heard Mr. Perkins mention your name, so she also knows that you asked me to entertain him in order to gain better resources.” Kit said.
He could almost imagine how ugly his father’s face must be at this moment.
Actually, if he could, he really didn’t want Tina to know about this. He hoped that in her eyes, he would still be glamorous and bright, still the shining one.
But now, he had presented the rotten thing beneath that glamour in front of her.
“Stay in your room for the next two days and don’t come out!” Edmond said these words and hung up the phone.
Kit shrugged and casually threw the phone aside.
Anyway, he had planned to stay here and heal for the next two days, not going anywhere!
Closing his eyes, he suddenly chuckled at himself.
People, they always unconsciously become greedy, even if they clearly know that it’s something they can’t obtain, they still greedily want to have it!

The next day, Tina pestered her mother, “Mom, what do you think of Kit?”
“That celebrity you had a scandal with?” Lina asked.
Tina blushed, “Yes, him. Look, this is his poster, this is his music video, and this is his costume for acting. How is he? Isn’t he great?”
She presented her mother with a stack of materials related to Kit.
“It’s quite good,” Lina said.
After all, as a senior member of the star-chasing clan, Lina had a discerning eye and the right to speak on this matter.
“I think with his talent, he will continue to develop and improve in the future. Mom, do you feel the same?” Tina added.
Lina looked at her daughter, “Tell me, what do you really want?”
Tina smirked, just as expected, a mother knows her daughter best! “I think White Maple Group should sign him as their spokesperson while Kit’s value is still low.”
