What a catty of dog blood
☆、Chapter 26
Mr. Cao couldn't catch his breath, he rolled his eyes, and fell straight to the ground. Everyone in the room was scared out of their wits.In the chaos, Cao Yiran rushed up to support Cao Yongjian who was lying on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Call, quickly call Dr. Wu."
Old Man Cao slowly opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed with force. Cao Yiran hurriedly put a pillow on his back. After Old Man Cao sat down, he called angrily, "Where's that brat?"
Cao Yiran: "Xiao Yuan is waiting outside."
"Hmph," Mr. Cao snorted, and cursed again: "That brat."
Cao Yiran took water from the bedside table, brought it to Mr. Cao's mouth, and persuaded him nicely, "Dad, come and take your medicine."
Mr. Cao took the medicine, took a breath, leaned back, and blinked tiredly.
"Dad, don't be angry with Xiao Yuan. It's been so many years."
"I'm the only son like him," Mr. Cao said, with the corners of his eyes drooping, and the lines extending to his cheeks. "Fang Yi gave birth to three daughters for me. I know she worked hard to think about it." Give me a son, but if you don't have one, you just don't have one, after so many years of tossing around, I still don't have one, and I only want Xiao Yuan as a son in the end."
Cao Yongjian: "You say I'm not for him, who am I for?"
Cao Yiran: "Dad, then don't quarrel with Xiao Yuan as soon as you see him, or scold him."
"I don't want to, but I get angry when I see him like that. How can I treat him badly? I can give him what he wants, but what about him? He insisted on being stubborn with me, and let the big boss not do it. If you insist on becoming a manager and helping a little star, isn’t it ashamed? He is not ashamed and I can’t afford to lose him.”
"Dad, you're starting again."
"I don't want to, but I still have a few years to go? I have a bad heart and I am sick all over. It is not happy to live like this. If he is like this, if he wants to let me go, I will not feel at ease. When he is old , there is no one to accompany me."
Cao Yiran: "Dad, please don't say that. Why is no one with you? Am I not with you?"
"Can you stay with him for the rest of your life? You will have your own home at that time, and he will be an outsider in the end. What will you do then?"
"Dad, don't worry about these things." Cao Yiran stretched out his hand to cover the quilt for Mr. Cao, "Go to bed early."
"Okay, who the hell, let Xiao Wang sign him tomorrow."
"Who?"
"That brat made a fuss about signing it."
"His name is Zhou Jin."
"I don't want to know his name. Let Xiao Wang sign it tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Mr. Cao closed his eyelids again, and leaned his head against the bed. There was a framed photo on the bedside table. The husband and wife hugged a pair of children and laughed happily.
Cao Yuan was sitting by the fountain in the backyard of the villa. He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked. A pile of cigarette butts at his feet flickered on and off.There is still one between his fingers, and he sends it to his mouth with some trembling.
Cao Yiran came out of the room, she was covered with a woolen blanket, she sat down beside Cao Yuan, "Give me one."
Cao Yuan shook out the last one from the cigarette case, Cao Yiran took it and held it in his mouth, moved towards the cigarette butt on Cao Yuan's fingertips, caught fire, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth .
Cao Yuan: "How is Dad?"
Cao Yiran: "Doctor Wu said it was high blood pressure, Xiao Yuan, I didn't blame you, you are too shameful this time, is there anyone like you? I quarreled with Dad as soon as I came back. Do you know how poor Dad is this year? huh? Just got back from the hospital last month, oh yeah, you don’t know because you didn’t even ask.”
Cao Yuan didn't reply, he lowered his head halfway, the firelight between his fingers cast a small halo on his cheek, he put the cigarette by his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "I can't get through this Hom."
This time, Cao Yiran was silent. She sighed, stretched out her hand to cover Cao Yuan's icy back, and said, "Mom is gone, don't you have to wait until Dad is gone before you learn to regret it? It's been so many years, Do you still take it to heart? Are you tired?"
"I'm tired, I'm very tired." Cao Yuan stood up abruptly, pointed at this luxurious villa, and said, "Do you know what my mother said to me at that time? She said that no one named Cao was a human being. Come out. Her face was covered in blood, and I could only see her eyes, and she just looked at me like that, and died, unable to close her eyes. Do you know what I was most afraid of? Because my fucking last name is Cao!"
The cigarette butt was thrown on the ground, and the fire flickered a few times and then went out.
"Xiao Yuan..."
General Cao Yuan put his trembling hands into his pockets, stood up from the edge of the fountain, and said in a low voice, "I should go back."
Cao Yiran: "Let's go back, Dad said, let Secretary Wang decide Zhou Jin's contract tomorrow."
The moonlight in the early winter shone in the fountain pool, shimmering on the faces of Cao Yiran and Cao Yuan. They didn’t know each other’s expressions, but they knew each other’s mood. Cao Yiran looked at Cao Yuan’s back and suddenly felt that he didn’t care. How broad and stalwart this figure looks, there is a boy living deep in his heart, a crying boy stuck in an overturned car.
"I see."
A contract was placed in front of Zhou Jin. The contract was very thick, about ten pages long. Zhou Jin looked at it carefully line by line.There is nothing wrong with the first half of the contract being regular clauses, but the second half is a bit strange, from clause 220 to the end, the main idea is that Zhou Jin's love, marriage and sexual orientation issues are all arranged by the company, and he is not allowed to make arbitrary claims.
"Is this what Brother Yuan means?"
"Yes."
After hearing this, Zhou Jin put the things in his hand on the table and asked, "What about others?"
Shocked by Zhou Jin's actions, Secretary Wang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Mr. Cao has something to do today, and the contract will be valid even if we sign it."
"What about others?"
Secretary Wang found that there seemed to be a misunderstanding, and looked out of the room as if asking for help. Cheng Xia came in immediately after receiving the signal, and said to Zhou Jin: "Brother Yuan finally contacted you. That company is bigger and has more resources. many."
"What about others! What about others?"
"Xiao Jin, listen to me, Brother Yuan is also doing it for your own good. Wei Hua is strong and has a lot of resources, so you will have a future if you sign them."
"What about others? Why doesn't he dare to come out for my own good?"
Cheng Xia didn't speak, and Secretary Wang sat at the table in embarrassment, not knowing where to look.Zhou Jin got up from his seat, pushed the contract back with two fingers, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to sign this contract."
The doorbell of Cao Yuan's house rang loudly, and an impatient person kept ringing the doorbell of his house and refused to let go.
At this time, Cao Yuan was sleeping with his head covered, and he came out to open the door angrily, vowing to strangle this bastard who rang the doorbell blindly.
Cao Yuan opened the door with a wave of his hand, and was about to roar, but found that it was Zhou Jin standing at the door of his house.
Zhou Jin came here by bus. The terrain here is remote, and there is still a long way to go after getting off the bus. Although the weather is cold, Zhou Jin is still sweating from walking. His coat is open, revealing the plaid shirt inside. His breath was hot, and when he exhaled it turned into a cloud of white smoke.
"Why did you do this?"
Cao Yuan had never seen Zhou Jin so angry. He stared straight at him with those eyes, and vowed to record every momentary change on his face as a testimony in court in the future.
"This is the contract you want me to sign." Zhou Jin took out a crumpled piece of white paper from his pocket and flashed it in front of Cao Yuan. Marriage is arranged, and the last one is to change sexual orientation according to the requirements of the company."
Zhou Jin paused for a while, looked straight at Cao Yuan, and said, "My feelings for you make you uncomfortable like this, does it make you sick? If you really feel disgusted, why did you accept me in the first place? Because I'm not your original Zhou Jin, I don't deserve feelings, am I not qualified to like others? I am also a human being, and I am also a human being!"
Cao Yuan saw the words on the contract clearly, and said: "Xiao Jin, calm down, listen to me, these are the regular clauses in Weihua Group's artist contract, and they were also on it when you signed Tianle." After a pause, the atmosphere between the two suddenly dropped - if Zhou Jin came from time travel, then he would indeed not know the specific terms of Tianle.
"Xiao Jin," Cao Yuan suddenly asked without knowing why, "Don't you remember anything?"
"Heh..." Zhou Jin smiled. He shook his head with a wry smile, threw the crumpled piece of paper into the air, and said, "You don't believe me, and you still don't believe me."
Zhou Jin let go of the hand on Cao Yuan's gate, took a step back, and said, "Goodbye."
"Wait a minute, I'll take you back."
Zhou Jin didn't look back, and rushed forward with a single brain.Cao Yuan didn't even change his clothes. He put on his shoes and went into the garage to drive the car out.Suddenly it rained outside, at first it was sparse, and then it poured heavily, but Cao Yuan couldn't see anything from the window of the car for a moment. He turned on the high beams and walked slowly along the street. open.Zhou Jin didn't know where he disappeared. Cao Yuan stopped the car angrily, slammed the disc hard and put it down. He didn't even know if Zhou Jin had brought an umbrella just now.
☆、Chapter 27
At twelve o'clock in the evening, there was a man sitting in the Qise Bar on the corner of Jingan Road, with a row of empty wine glasses next to him, and a half-drunk bottle in his hand.He raised his neck, drank the last sip, his cheeks were flushed, and then began to sing loudly.
"Ah~! It turns out that the flowers are blooming everywhere,
Like this, it is all ruined,
What a beautiful day on a good day,
Whose courtyard will be enjoyable. "
This howling sound startled the guests who were dancing face-to-face on the dance floor. Everyone protested, what is this doing? Singing with jazz music, what kind of crazy is it?
The bartender hurriedly stepped forward, pushed the singing guests, and said, "Sir, you are drunk, you should pay the bill now." He said and placed the bill in front of the drunk Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin squinted his eyes, grabbed the bartender's arm with both hands, and said, "Don't move, I can't see clearly."
Bartender: "Sir, I'm not moving."
Zhou Jin: "Then I'm moving, you move with me..." While talking, he hiccupped indecently.
The light in the bar was dim, a chandelier hung on the bar counter, and the pale yellow light shone on Zhou Jin's face, half bright and half dark.The bartender saw Zhou Jin's face clearly, snorted, and said, "Sir, sir, are you the one on TV?"
Zhou Jin shook his head, he pushed the bartender aside unhappily, and shouted, "I'm not him, I'm not him. I'm Li Qi, I'm not him."
"Sir, don't get excited..." The bartender was pushed by Zhou Jin and hit the back of the chair behind the bar.Seeing Zhou Jin's current appearance, he took a step back in fear, then turned around abruptly, and ran to the office behind the bar.
"Boss, boss, something happened outside."
Hearing the sound, Wang Qiang moved his gaze away impatiently from the phone screen, and looked at the red-faced bartender, "What's the matter? I'm busy sending text messages, which of these two expressions do you think is better? The first one is: ah , my dear girl, there is an ocean in your eyes, and I am the Titanic, crashing headlong into the iceberg in your heart."
"Boss!" The bartender became even more anxious, and he said in a crying voice, "Boss, there is a guest outside who makes trouble again, and drives them away."
"What? He is so courageous to make trouble in my bar," he said, shaking off the leather jacket on his body, putting on sunglasses and walking out one by one, "I'd like to meet this kid."
The bartender was busy leading the way, but after walking for a while, the boss disappeared when he turned around.Wang Qiang supported the wall with one hand, rubbed his knees with the other, and gasped for breath.The bar was so dark that he became blind in the area of his sunglasses and kicked the metal cabinet in the corridor.
He slowly took the sunglasses off his head, pinned them on the shirt inside the leather coat, and coughed, "Lead, lead the way..."
Half of the people outside the bar had left, and the remaining half were drunk lying on the table, and Zhou Jin lined up a row of empty wine glasses in front of him, jingling with his fingers, "Towards Fei Mu Roll,
Yunxia Cuixuan,
rain wind flakes,
misty boat,
Jinping people
It's cheap to see. "
Wang Qiang felt a bit irritated after hearing this sentence. He straightened his clothes, strode over, and said, "Mr., you drank too much. Come here and settle the bill. I'll call you a special car to take you off." go back."
"Go back?" Zhou Jin laughed a little exaggeratedly, with his mouth wide open, as if he was going to laugh behind his ears, "Go back? Where should I go back? Where can I go back now?" He smiled After a long time, I couldn't breathe at last, so I gradually stopped laughing, opened my squinted eyes, and left two tears.
"Where can I go back now!" With a clanging sound, Zhou Jin swept the wine bottle on the bar to the ground, and the glass bottle shattered all over the floor. When he stepped on it, the glass shards could be embedded in the flesh.
Alcohol is a good thing. It makes people anesthetized and happy, and it also gives people a good excuse to go crazy.Zhou Jin didn't know what he was doing now, he just felt like he was floating in the clouds, and he was dizzy, and then he vomited all the filth with the smell of alcohol on the back of Wang Qiang's leather shoes .
Wang Qiang was furious. He twisted Zhou Jin's collar, lifted him up from the chair, and pulled his face in. The dim light illuminated Zhou Jin's pale face clearly. Wang Qiang was taken aback and called out, "Zhou Jin Jin?"
"I'm not him!" Zhou Jin didn't know where so much strength suddenly came from, and pushed Wang Qiang who was holding onto his clothes to the side. Before Wang Qiang could react, he stared blankly at Zhou Jin for a long while. Then he began to shake his trousers everywhere, took out his mobile phone, and yelled into the microphone: "Cao, come here quickly and pick him up!"
Cao Yuan was standing under the Jingan Bridge. There was a brown brake mark on his feet, and the imprinted bow-shaped arc was deeply carved into the cement slab.
The river under the bridge is flowing slowly, and under the quiet surface is an undercurrent. This cannibal river will inadvertently sweep away a few poor sacrifices every year.Cao Yuan didn't know why he came here, he just stood on the edge of the pier, the brown traces around his feet circled him, like a strange religious ceremony.
He answered the phone and replied, "Okay, I'll be right over."
In fact, some things are not as important as they seem, such as how long all the time in this world is added up to.When Cao Yuan leaned over to look at the rolling water under the bridge, he had only one thought, that is, he didn't want Zhou Jin to pass away from his life without turning back like this river that never turns back.
Wang Qiang hung up the phone, and a pair of shrewd tiger eyes began to wander around Zhou Jin, a fat sheep. He hooked his fingers to the waiter waiting by the side, and said, "Come here."
"What did the boss order?"
"Bring me the account books from the store."
Wang Qiang pressed the calculator tick-tock, and began to calculate how much economic loss Zhou Jin's drinking madness had caused to the store today, but Wang Qiang was not satisfied with the final calculation result.He thought for a while and said, "How far is this month from the goal my dad set for us?"
The waiter and accountant took a step forward and replied, "There is still a shortfall of [-]."
"Ten thousand..." Wang Qiang's eyes flew to Zhou Jin who was sleeping on the sofa.What does brother do?Bros are for sale!He patted the table and said, "Go, open the bottle of the famous French Chateau Margaux 2009 dry red wine in the cabinet."
"Huh? Why?"
"Don't ask why, just go!"
"But the wine costs [-]... Oh!" The clever waiter and accountant immediately understood the boss's intentions, and took the wine quickly.Wang Qiang chuckled, and pushed the wine cork away, "Listen, this sound."
Satisfied, Wang Qiang poured himself a cup, took a sip, and sighed, "Good!"
Cao Yuan came in from the bar with a dark face, and when he saw Zhou Jin crouching on the sofa, his face became even darker.Okay, actually running to this kind of place to drink, I'm really impatient.
Cao Yuan patted Zhou Jin's blushing cheek lightly with the back of his hand, and called out, "Xiao Jin."
Zhou Jin's long eyelashes, like two butterfly wings, fluttered up and down, his eyes narrowed, and he took a serious look at Cao Yuan, then turned the corner of his mouth, and snorted aggrievedly, "Brother Yuan, I want to go home."
"Okay, let's go back." Cao Yuan sighed, he pulled Zhou Jin up from the sofa, put it on his back, and strode out.
Wang Qiang: "Hey, guest officer, please stay."
"Say," Cao Yuan said as he lifted Zhou Jin up as he slid down.
"This is his bill, please pay it." He said, holding the POS machine in both hands.
Cao Yuan took the bill with one hand, and when he scanned the last number, his eyes suddenly widened, "Twenty thousand?!"
"Ah."
"Spent [-] yuan a night?!"
"En." Wang Qiang put both hands on the POS machine, and said courteously, "You see, he drank precious wine and dropped the best glasses. Just look at this." Wang Qiang pointed to the glass on the ground. A piece of glass shards, "One for two thousand."
"And the 2009 dry red wine from the famous French Chateau Margaux?"
"Xiao Yuan, I'm not talking about you. You have a good eye for picking people. Let's see how long you choose."
Cao Yuan's face turned dark, he turned Zhou Jin upside down, and said, "Next month's Weihua annual meeting will be hosted by my sister, and I can get you a ticket."
"Really?!" Wang Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard it. The tickets for Weihua's annual meeting were all digested internally. Yuan took the initiative to say that he could give it to him... Why did he feel that there was a huge conspiracy behind it?
"You... are you so kind?"
"Of course, it is my duty to be my future brother-in-law."
Upon hearing the word brother-in-law, Wang Qiang felt more comfortable. He giggled and said modestly, "Hey, don't call me so early..."
"Okay, the entrance ticket costs [-], and you can transfer the remaining [-] to me via Alipay, and I'm leaving."
"Hey..." Wang Qiang held the 2009 dry red wine of Chateau Margaux, a famous French chateau, and his heart broke into glass shards.
Cao Yuan didn't send Zhou Jin back to Cheng Xia's house, he left a message for Cheng Xia and brought him back to his home.
When getting the man out of the car, Zhou Jin leaned his head on Cao Yuan's shoulder slantingly, and the breath of alcohol from his mouth kept burrowing into his neck.Cao Yuan stretched out his hand to embrace the slid waist, and cursed softly: "This guy."
Once inside the room, he couldn't see anything. Cao Yuan reached out and groped along the wall for a long time, but he didn't touch the switch of the chandelier in the living room.He could only send Zhou Jin to his room with the help of the streetlight coming in through the window.
Zhou Jin threw himself into the quilt and brought Cao Yuan over at once. There was a muffled sound when the two bodies collided. In the moonlight outside the window, Cao Yuan looked at Zhou Jin's side face, his eyes were tightly closed. Tightly closed, the eyelashes cast a layer of ash under the eyelids, and a pair of tightly pursed lips lined down the bridge of the nose.
He sighed, and stroked Zhou Jin's eyebrows a little helplessly, "Hey...forget it, no matter what kind of monster you are, I just like you."
Cao Yuan got up from Zhou Jin's body, fished out the quilt that was pressed underneath, covered Zhou Jin, and went out of the room on tiptoe.He would not know that when he turned around, a pair of eyes opened in the darkness, quietly watching his back.
☆、Chapter 28 (Modified)
Cao Yuan sat on the bamboo and rattan chair beside the bed against the light, his feet were wearing gray cotton slippers resting on the window frame, his arms were wrapped around his chest, and he squinted his eyes to see the wind blowing on the window sill of the top floor of the opposite building. withered creeper.
"Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up."
The quilt arched into a small bag, and the people inside did not move, only a strand of soft hair sticking out of the quilt.
Cao Yuan gave the little bulge a funny look, and said, "Okay, who is sleeping and inhaling like this, with a long sound and a short sound.
Zhou Jin sighed deeply in his heart, squirmed his body, revealed a pair of eyes from under the quilt, and looked at Cao Yuan flatteringly, "Brother Yuan."
Cao Yuan didn't say anything, he got up and took the milk on the side, and passed it to Zhou Jin, "Does your headache hurt?"
"It hurts..." The milk was still warm in his hand, Zhou Jin took a sip to test the temperature, and the temperature was just right.
"Is there any other discomfort?"
"No, just a little dizzy."
Cao Yuan sighed softly, and said: "Your contract is Wei Hua's internal contract, which all artists must abide by. It is not aimed at you, let alone me."
"Brother Yuan, I didn't lose my temper on purpose yesterday. I, I don't know what's wrong with me. As soon as I saw the terms written on it, I lost my mind." Zhou Jin took a deep breath and said, "If you can , I also want to return the person to you, but I can't, I can't do it."
Zhou Jin's words hit Cao Yuan's heart like stones, and he suddenly felt that he was cruel. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at this matter from Zhou Jin's perspective, but blindly drilled into a dead end, thinking that This love must be an excuse and a lie, because Cao Yuan has never had such a wonderful miracle happen to him since he was a child.
On the day of the accident, he had already guessed the possibility of time travel, but people just turned a deaf ear to what happened under their noses, and insisted on believing what they wanted to believe.And isn't Zhou Jin the most hurt by his stubbornness?
Cao Yuan leaned over, put his hand on Zhou Jin's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "I never thought of changing someone back, never, I'm glad it's you."
Cao Yuan didn't speak any more. He stood up from the rattan chair, walked outside the door, stopped at the door, turned his back to Zhou Jin and asked, "You...what was your original name?"
Zhou Jin was startled, he raised his eyes and looked at Cao Yuan seriously, Cao Yuan's face was facing him, he could only see the two pursed lips under the bridge of his straight nose, he lowered his head, his hands tightly Holding the cup, "What, what?"
"your name."
"Li Qi, peaches and plums don't say anything, and you will form a trail by yourself."
Cao Yuan glanced at Zhou Jin in surprise and said, "Li Qi?"
"Ah."
"The name suits you well."
"Brother Yuan..." Zhou Jin stopped Cao Yuan who was going out, and said, "Brother Yuan, can you still call me Xiaojin from now on? Xingjin is my word."
Cao Yuan nodded, "Okay, so no one will find out."
After Cao Yuan went out, Zhou Jin got up from the bed. A set of shirt and trousers had been prepared for him, and they were neatly placed on the chair beside him. This set of clothes was left behind when he lived here. Fits just right.
After Zhou Jin packed up, he started to work in the kitchen. There were vegetables and meat in the refrigerator, so he could cook a delicious meal. After a burst of chaos, Zhou Jin managed to whip up a few big dishes, a few side dishes, and a pot of soup , and then cleaned up the messy pool, sat at the table and waited intently for Cao Yuan to come back.
The soup turned from hot to warm, and finally turned cold. The hour and minute hands on the dial chased each other towards the twelve o'clock mark.
Zhou Jin was a little discouraged, and put the food into the pot to heat it up again. When his upper and lower eyelids were hot, the sound of a key turning came from outside the door, and Zhou Jin woke up all the sleepy people with melon seeds in his head. He hurriedly got up and went to the pot to bring out the hot soup. In a moment of impatience, he scalded his hand hard, and the pain made him grin his teeth and almost scold his mother.
This was the first scene Cao Yuan saw when he came home. Under the dim light, a man in an apron jumped up and down with a distorted face, shaking his hot red hand.
"You...didn't leave?"
Cao Yuan came back so late on purpose, because he didn't want to watch Zhou Jin go out through this door again and never come back.So he waited until now, ready to come back lonely and face the desolation in the room.But no, Zhou Jin didn't leave, but wrapped a table of meals for him in an apron, waiting for him, waiting for him.
"I, I'll go back later..."
Zhou Jin put down the spoon a little aggrieved. It turned out that Cao Yuan didn't come back all day because he was hiding from him, because he didn't know what to do.
Zhou Jin stretched his hand behind his back to untie the knot on the apron with some discomfort. His fingers still hurt a little, and he couldn't untie a simple knot for a long time.
"Apply it." Cao Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Jin, took out ice cubes from the refrigerator, and applied the ice to the hot spot.His hand tightly held Zhou Jin's, the temperature between the two of them seemed a bit too high, the ice cubes melted quickly, and soon turned into a puddle of water in Zhou Jin's palm.
Cao Yuan slowly approached, Zhou Jin felt that the tip of his nose was about to touch Cao Yuan's, he swallowed and said, "Brother Yuan came back so late, are you hungry?"
Cao Yuan nodded and said, "I'm hungry." After speaking, he put his arms around Zhou Jin's waist and pressed him against the kitchen sink, water stains seeping through Zhou Jin's back. "But you can eat later."
Zhou Jin began to have some strange hallucinations.
At first, this hallucination was just a momentary trance, he felt that his body and his soul were separated, like a ghost floating in mid-air, looking down at himself standing on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, this hallucination lasted longer and longer, and he began to feel that the time passing by his body suddenly stopped, and then went backwards, but time cannot be reversed.But now, this illusion has become a real touch. He can raise his hand and see that his palm is slightly red under the sunlight. His neck was a little itchy.He got up from his seat, pushed the door open, and saw the old woman who had taken care of him for 20 years stooped, choosing the fabric for his winter clothes.He moved his lips, and a voice clearly escaped from his lips: "Mother..."
The old nanny raised her head, her face was wrinkled layer upon layer like ravines, which looked soft in Zhou Jin's dream.The old mama's mouth fell into a smile, and she pursed her lips and said, "His Royal Highness, the Third Prince, has woken up."
The old nanny's voice reached Zhou Jin's ears, his nose sore, and he almost cried.
Seeing Zhou Jin's appearance, the old mother opened her arms and said, "Your Highness, come and measure your body, and you've jumped up again."
Zhou Jin was startled by what the old nanny said. He lowered his head, rolled up his sleeves, and saw his slender arms like a child's. He looked at his feet again, wearing tiger-toed shoes, like a doll.
Zhou Jin suppressed the doubts and fears in his heart, walked slowly to the edge of the pool, looked inside, and saw a small face about seven or eight years old.
Zhou Jin stepped back abruptly, feeling as if his body was thrown from a high altitude, falling straight down, and finally his whole body trembled, waking up from this weird dream.
He opened his eyes and found that it was not yet dawn, and his hair was drenched with sweat, as if he had crawled out of a deep pool of water.
Zhou Jin's body trembled suddenly, awakening Cao Yuan who was holding him from behind. Cao Yuan turned on the bedside lamp, reached out and touched Zhou Jin's cold cheek, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Zhou Jin nodded, then shook his head again, "I had a dream."
Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Zhou Jin tighter from behind, and asked, "What did you dream about?"
"It's nothing, I dreamed about the past." Zhou Jin said, while silently clenching Cao Yuan's arm, he moved his body closer and pressed it tightly against Cao Yuan's chest, as if he wanted to use this The method confirms the existence of Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan's drowsiness came up again. He reached out and turned off the lamp, turned over, wrapped Zhou Jin tightly, closed his eyes and fell asleep again, with the sound of heavy breathing on Zhou Jin's cheeks.Zhou Jin tried to close his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep anymore. He wondered if it was really time for him to stay here.
The author has something to say: This chapter is Xiaoduanjun o((≧▽≦o) Please don’t laugh at him.
☆、Chapter 29
After Zhou Jin negotiated with Secretary Wang, Weihua Group began to arrange a signing ceremony for Zhou Jin. Because it had to be before the Chinese New Year, the time was directly set on New Year's Day, which happened to be held together with the Weihua Group's annual meeting.
This year's annual meeting was arranged by Cao Yiran, and the venue was set in Hainan, so now Zhou Jin was sitting on the cabin refreshed with a mountaineering bag on his back.
Cao Yuan was not so relaxed. His face was crying like a bitter gourd. He frowned and leaned back on the chair, and said, "Why are you not afraid at all? After all, you are also an ancient person, so you are not afraid of the plane falling." come down?"
Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "No, this wing is the same as a bird's wing, it's so big, the convection of the air underneath will lift the plane up." Zhou Jin spoke with relish, he looked up at Cao Yuan, and said : "Brother Yuan, you are not afraid of flying, are you?"
"Hmph," Cao Yuan snorted, and said, "I, I'm not afraid." Cao Yuan glanced out the window, and almost spat out, "Oh my god, I've already flown so high ?!"
Zhou Jin then stretched his neck and looked out the window, and said, "No."
"Why not? The people outside are already as big as ants..."
"Brother Yuan, those are really ants."
"..." Zhou Jin and Cao Yuan's seats were at the back of the case, and the passengers sitting in front had to go to the aisle next to them to go to the bathroom.
A handsome young man walked past them wearing sunglasses, and turned back after walking a short distance. The man pulled off the sunglasses with his fingers, looked at Zhou Jin in shock, and said, "Zhou Jin? skillful?!"
Fang Zhengyi's voice was not loud, but several people had already turned their heads to look at the two of them. Those people were wearing SLR cameras and peaked caps around their necks. They looked like reporters who were stationed at the gate of the Weihua annual meeting. Fang Zhengyi lowered his voice. The voice leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What... are you going to Hainan for?"
"I..." Zhou Jin really didn't know how to tell Fang Zhengyi about this for a while. After all, when Fang Zhengyi asked him if he wanted to sign Wei Hua, he assured him that there was no such thing.
Zhou Jin's stuttering Fang Zhengyi understood everything, his eyes darkened, and he figured out a general idea in his heart. This time Weihua said he would sign an artist at the Weihua annual meeting, and he made a mysterious face. All the entertainment media came out in full force, waiting at the hotel where they were going to stay to make a big news. Now it seems that this mysterious artist should be Zhou Jin.
Fang Zhengyi was angry, what was all this about.Back then, he and Zhou Jin, one played the male lead and the other played the second male lead, but he was overwhelmed by him. Now, Zhou Jin is going to sign Wei Hua directly by selling meat. His nephew Cao Yongjian is not like that. good treatment.
"It turns out that Brother Xiao Zhou wants to sign Wei Hua. Congratulations." Fang Zhengyi's congratulations sounded a bit ambiguous, but he changed the subject and said, "No wonder I heard that Brother Zhou was appointed to act in Director Wen's new play." As for the male lead, it turns out he has changed his employer."
"No," Zhou Jin hurriedly explained, "Director Wen came to me before signing the contract."
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Really? So I liked Xiao Zhou's acting skills. Xiao Zhou is really capable. Brother Yuan asked you to act in Director Wen's play. The real person doesn't show his face. Brother Yuan is now In this way, you can see with a sharp eye that he is Wei Hua's son, it's not simple, it's not simple."
"Fang Zhengyi, what the hell are you talking about?" Cao Yuan, who was sleeping beside him, took off the blindfold on his face.
"Cousin... Cousin..." Fang Zhengyi did not expect that he would
☆、Chapter 26
Mr. Cao couldn't catch his breath, he rolled his eyes, and fell straight to the ground. Everyone in the room was scared out of their wits.In the chaos, Cao Yiran rushed up to support Cao Yongjian who was lying on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Call, quickly call Dr. Wu."
Old Man Cao slowly opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed with force. Cao Yiran hurriedly put a pillow on his back. After Old Man Cao sat down, he called angrily, "Where's that brat?"
Cao Yiran: "Xiao Yuan is waiting outside."
"Hmph," Mr. Cao snorted, and cursed again: "That brat."
Cao Yiran took water from the bedside table, brought it to Mr. Cao's mouth, and persuaded him nicely, "Dad, come and take your medicine."
Mr. Cao took the medicine, took a breath, leaned back, and blinked tiredly.
"Dad, don't be angry with Xiao Yuan. It's been so many years."
"I'm the only son like him," Mr. Cao said, with the corners of his eyes drooping, and the lines extending to his cheeks. "Fang Yi gave birth to three daughters for me. I know she worked hard to think about it." Give me a son, but if you don't have one, you just don't have one, after so many years of tossing around, I still don't have one, and I only want Xiao Yuan as a son in the end."
Cao Yongjian: "You say I'm not for him, who am I for?"
Cao Yiran: "Dad, then don't quarrel with Xiao Yuan as soon as you see him, or scold him."
"I don't want to, but I get angry when I see him like that. How can I treat him badly? I can give him what he wants, but what about him? He insisted on being stubborn with me, and let the big boss not do it. If you insist on becoming a manager and helping a little star, isn’t it ashamed? He is not ashamed and I can’t afford to lose him.”
"Dad, you're starting again."
"I don't want to, but I still have a few years to go? I have a bad heart and I am sick all over. It is not happy to live like this. If he is like this, if he wants to let me go, I will not feel at ease. When he is old , there is no one to accompany me."
Cao Yiran: "Dad, please don't say that. Why is no one with you? Am I not with you?"
"Can you stay with him for the rest of your life? You will have your own home at that time, and he will be an outsider in the end. What will you do then?"
"Dad, don't worry about these things." Cao Yiran stretched out his hand to cover the quilt for Mr. Cao, "Go to bed early."
"Okay, who the hell, let Xiao Wang sign him tomorrow."
"Who?"
"That brat made a fuss about signing it."
"His name is Zhou Jin."
"I don't want to know his name. Let Xiao Wang sign it tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Mr. Cao closed his eyelids again, and leaned his head against the bed. There was a framed photo on the bedside table. The husband and wife hugged a pair of children and laughed happily.
Cao Yuan was sitting by the fountain in the backyard of the villa. He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked. A pile of cigarette butts at his feet flickered on and off.There is still one between his fingers, and he sends it to his mouth with some trembling.
Cao Yiran came out of the room, she was covered with a woolen blanket, she sat down beside Cao Yuan, "Give me one."
Cao Yuan shook out the last one from the cigarette case, Cao Yiran took it and held it in his mouth, moved towards the cigarette butt on Cao Yuan's fingertips, caught fire, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth .
Cao Yuan: "How is Dad?"
Cao Yiran: "Doctor Wu said it was high blood pressure, Xiao Yuan, I didn't blame you, you are too shameful this time, is there anyone like you? I quarreled with Dad as soon as I came back. Do you know how poor Dad is this year? huh? Just got back from the hospital last month, oh yeah, you don’t know because you didn’t even ask.”
Cao Yuan didn't reply, he lowered his head halfway, the firelight between his fingers cast a small halo on his cheek, he put the cigarette by his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "I can't get through this Hom."
This time, Cao Yiran was silent. She sighed, stretched out her hand to cover Cao Yuan's icy back, and said, "Mom is gone, don't you have to wait until Dad is gone before you learn to regret it? It's been so many years, Do you still take it to heart? Are you tired?"
"I'm tired, I'm very tired." Cao Yuan stood up abruptly, pointed at this luxurious villa, and said, "Do you know what my mother said to me at that time? She said that no one named Cao was a human being. Come out. Her face was covered in blood, and I could only see her eyes, and she just looked at me like that, and died, unable to close her eyes. Do you know what I was most afraid of? Because my fucking last name is Cao!"
The cigarette butt was thrown on the ground, and the fire flickered a few times and then went out.
"Xiao Yuan..."
General Cao Yuan put his trembling hands into his pockets, stood up from the edge of the fountain, and said in a low voice, "I should go back."
Cao Yiran: "Let's go back, Dad said, let Secretary Wang decide Zhou Jin's contract tomorrow."
The moonlight in the early winter shone in the fountain pool, shimmering on the faces of Cao Yiran and Cao Yuan. They didn’t know each other’s expressions, but they knew each other’s mood. Cao Yiran looked at Cao Yuan’s back and suddenly felt that he didn’t care. How broad and stalwart this figure looks, there is a boy living deep in his heart, a crying boy stuck in an overturned car.
"I see."
A contract was placed in front of Zhou Jin. The contract was very thick, about ten pages long. Zhou Jin looked at it carefully line by line.There is nothing wrong with the first half of the contract being regular clauses, but the second half is a bit strange, from clause 220 to the end, the main idea is that Zhou Jin's love, marriage and sexual orientation issues are all arranged by the company, and he is not allowed to make arbitrary claims.
"Is this what Brother Yuan means?"
"Yes."
After hearing this, Zhou Jin put the things in his hand on the table and asked, "What about others?"
Shocked by Zhou Jin's actions, Secretary Wang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Mr. Cao has something to do today, and the contract will be valid even if we sign it."
"What about others?"
Secretary Wang found that there seemed to be a misunderstanding, and looked out of the room as if asking for help. Cheng Xia came in immediately after receiving the signal, and said to Zhou Jin: "Brother Yuan finally contacted you. That company is bigger and has more resources. many."
"What about others! What about others?"
"Xiao Jin, listen to me, Brother Yuan is also doing it for your own good. Wei Hua is strong and has a lot of resources, so you will have a future if you sign them."
"What about others? Why doesn't he dare to come out for my own good?"
Cheng Xia didn't speak, and Secretary Wang sat at the table in embarrassment, not knowing where to look.Zhou Jin got up from his seat, pushed the contract back with two fingers, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to sign this contract."
The doorbell of Cao Yuan's house rang loudly, and an impatient person kept ringing the doorbell of his house and refused to let go.
At this time, Cao Yuan was sleeping with his head covered, and he came out to open the door angrily, vowing to strangle this bastard who rang the doorbell blindly.
Cao Yuan opened the door with a wave of his hand, and was about to roar, but found that it was Zhou Jin standing at the door of his house.
Zhou Jin came here by bus. The terrain here is remote, and there is still a long way to go after getting off the bus. Although the weather is cold, Zhou Jin is still sweating from walking. His coat is open, revealing the plaid shirt inside. His breath was hot, and when he exhaled it turned into a cloud of white smoke.
"Why did you do this?"
Cao Yuan had never seen Zhou Jin so angry. He stared straight at him with those eyes, and vowed to record every momentary change on his face as a testimony in court in the future.
"This is the contract you want me to sign." Zhou Jin took out a crumpled piece of white paper from his pocket and flashed it in front of Cao Yuan. Marriage is arranged, and the last one is to change sexual orientation according to the requirements of the company."
Zhou Jin paused for a while, looked straight at Cao Yuan, and said, "My feelings for you make you uncomfortable like this, does it make you sick? If you really feel disgusted, why did you accept me in the first place? Because I'm not your original Zhou Jin, I don't deserve feelings, am I not qualified to like others? I am also a human being, and I am also a human being!"
Cao Yuan saw the words on the contract clearly, and said: "Xiao Jin, calm down, listen to me, these are the regular clauses in Weihua Group's artist contract, and they were also on it when you signed Tianle." After a pause, the atmosphere between the two suddenly dropped - if Zhou Jin came from time travel, then he would indeed not know the specific terms of Tianle.
"Xiao Jin," Cao Yuan suddenly asked without knowing why, "Don't you remember anything?"
"Heh..." Zhou Jin smiled. He shook his head with a wry smile, threw the crumpled piece of paper into the air, and said, "You don't believe me, and you still don't believe me."
Zhou Jin let go of the hand on Cao Yuan's gate, took a step back, and said, "Goodbye."
"Wait a minute, I'll take you back."
Zhou Jin didn't look back, and rushed forward with a single brain.Cao Yuan didn't even change his clothes. He put on his shoes and went into the garage to drive the car out.Suddenly it rained outside, at first it was sparse, and then it poured heavily, but Cao Yuan couldn't see anything from the window of the car for a moment. He turned on the high beams and walked slowly along the street. open.Zhou Jin didn't know where he disappeared. Cao Yuan stopped the car angrily, slammed the disc hard and put it down. He didn't even know if Zhou Jin had brought an umbrella just now.
☆、Chapter 27
At twelve o'clock in the evening, there was a man sitting in the Qise Bar on the corner of Jingan Road, with a row of empty wine glasses next to him, and a half-drunk bottle in his hand.He raised his neck, drank the last sip, his cheeks were flushed, and then began to sing loudly.
"Ah~! It turns out that the flowers are blooming everywhere,
Like this, it is all ruined,
What a beautiful day on a good day,
Whose courtyard will be enjoyable. "
This howling sound startled the guests who were dancing face-to-face on the dance floor. Everyone protested, what is this doing? Singing with jazz music, what kind of crazy is it?
The bartender hurriedly stepped forward, pushed the singing guests, and said, "Sir, you are drunk, you should pay the bill now." He said and placed the bill in front of the drunk Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin squinted his eyes, grabbed the bartender's arm with both hands, and said, "Don't move, I can't see clearly."
Bartender: "Sir, I'm not moving."
Zhou Jin: "Then I'm moving, you move with me..." While talking, he hiccupped indecently.
The light in the bar was dim, a chandelier hung on the bar counter, and the pale yellow light shone on Zhou Jin's face, half bright and half dark.The bartender saw Zhou Jin's face clearly, snorted, and said, "Sir, sir, are you the one on TV?"
Zhou Jin shook his head, he pushed the bartender aside unhappily, and shouted, "I'm not him, I'm not him. I'm Li Qi, I'm not him."
"Sir, don't get excited..." The bartender was pushed by Zhou Jin and hit the back of the chair behind the bar.Seeing Zhou Jin's current appearance, he took a step back in fear, then turned around abruptly, and ran to the office behind the bar.
"Boss, boss, something happened outside."
Hearing the sound, Wang Qiang moved his gaze away impatiently from the phone screen, and looked at the red-faced bartender, "What's the matter? I'm busy sending text messages, which of these two expressions do you think is better? The first one is: ah , my dear girl, there is an ocean in your eyes, and I am the Titanic, crashing headlong into the iceberg in your heart."
"Boss!" The bartender became even more anxious, and he said in a crying voice, "Boss, there is a guest outside who makes trouble again, and drives them away."
"What? He is so courageous to make trouble in my bar," he said, shaking off the leather jacket on his body, putting on sunglasses and walking out one by one, "I'd like to meet this kid."
The bartender was busy leading the way, but after walking for a while, the boss disappeared when he turned around.Wang Qiang supported the wall with one hand, rubbed his knees with the other, and gasped for breath.The bar was so dark that he became blind in the area of his sunglasses and kicked the metal cabinet in the corridor.
He slowly took the sunglasses off his head, pinned them on the shirt inside the leather coat, and coughed, "Lead, lead the way..."
Half of the people outside the bar had left, and the remaining half were drunk lying on the table, and Zhou Jin lined up a row of empty wine glasses in front of him, jingling with his fingers, "Towards Fei Mu Roll,
Yunxia Cuixuan,
rain wind flakes,
misty boat,
Jinping people
It's cheap to see. "
Wang Qiang felt a bit irritated after hearing this sentence. He straightened his clothes, strode over, and said, "Mr., you drank too much. Come here and settle the bill. I'll call you a special car to take you off." go back."
"Go back?" Zhou Jin laughed a little exaggeratedly, with his mouth wide open, as if he was going to laugh behind his ears, "Go back? Where should I go back? Where can I go back now?" He smiled After a long time, I couldn't breathe at last, so I gradually stopped laughing, opened my squinted eyes, and left two tears.
"Where can I go back now!" With a clanging sound, Zhou Jin swept the wine bottle on the bar to the ground, and the glass bottle shattered all over the floor. When he stepped on it, the glass shards could be embedded in the flesh.
Alcohol is a good thing. It makes people anesthetized and happy, and it also gives people a good excuse to go crazy.Zhou Jin didn't know what he was doing now, he just felt like he was floating in the clouds, and he was dizzy, and then he vomited all the filth with the smell of alcohol on the back of Wang Qiang's leather shoes .
Wang Qiang was furious. He twisted Zhou Jin's collar, lifted him up from the chair, and pulled his face in. The dim light illuminated Zhou Jin's pale face clearly. Wang Qiang was taken aback and called out, "Zhou Jin Jin?"
"I'm not him!" Zhou Jin didn't know where so much strength suddenly came from, and pushed Wang Qiang who was holding onto his clothes to the side. Before Wang Qiang could react, he stared blankly at Zhou Jin for a long while. Then he began to shake his trousers everywhere, took out his mobile phone, and yelled into the microphone: "Cao, come here quickly and pick him up!"
Cao Yuan was standing under the Jingan Bridge. There was a brown brake mark on his feet, and the imprinted bow-shaped arc was deeply carved into the cement slab.
The river under the bridge is flowing slowly, and under the quiet surface is an undercurrent. This cannibal river will inadvertently sweep away a few poor sacrifices every year.Cao Yuan didn't know why he came here, he just stood on the edge of the pier, the brown traces around his feet circled him, like a strange religious ceremony.
He answered the phone and replied, "Okay, I'll be right over."
In fact, some things are not as important as they seem, such as how long all the time in this world is added up to.When Cao Yuan leaned over to look at the rolling water under the bridge, he had only one thought, that is, he didn't want Zhou Jin to pass away from his life without turning back like this river that never turns back.
Wang Qiang hung up the phone, and a pair of shrewd tiger eyes began to wander around Zhou Jin, a fat sheep. He hooked his fingers to the waiter waiting by the side, and said, "Come here."
"What did the boss order?"
"Bring me the account books from the store."
Wang Qiang pressed the calculator tick-tock, and began to calculate how much economic loss Zhou Jin's drinking madness had caused to the store today, but Wang Qiang was not satisfied with the final calculation result.He thought for a while and said, "How far is this month from the goal my dad set for us?"
The waiter and accountant took a step forward and replied, "There is still a shortfall of [-]."
"Ten thousand..." Wang Qiang's eyes flew to Zhou Jin who was sleeping on the sofa.What does brother do?Bros are for sale!He patted the table and said, "Go, open the bottle of the famous French Chateau Margaux 2009 dry red wine in the cabinet."
"Huh? Why?"
"Don't ask why, just go!"
"But the wine costs [-]... Oh!" The clever waiter and accountant immediately understood the boss's intentions, and took the wine quickly.Wang Qiang chuckled, and pushed the wine cork away, "Listen, this sound."
Satisfied, Wang Qiang poured himself a cup, took a sip, and sighed, "Good!"
Cao Yuan came in from the bar with a dark face, and when he saw Zhou Jin crouching on the sofa, his face became even darker.Okay, actually running to this kind of place to drink, I'm really impatient.
Cao Yuan patted Zhou Jin's blushing cheek lightly with the back of his hand, and called out, "Xiao Jin."
Zhou Jin's long eyelashes, like two butterfly wings, fluttered up and down, his eyes narrowed, and he took a serious look at Cao Yuan, then turned the corner of his mouth, and snorted aggrievedly, "Brother Yuan, I want to go home."
"Okay, let's go back." Cao Yuan sighed, he pulled Zhou Jin up from the sofa, put it on his back, and strode out.
Wang Qiang: "Hey, guest officer, please stay."
"Say," Cao Yuan said as he lifted Zhou Jin up as he slid down.
"This is his bill, please pay it." He said, holding the POS machine in both hands.
Cao Yuan took the bill with one hand, and when he scanned the last number, his eyes suddenly widened, "Twenty thousand?!"
"Ah."
"Spent [-] yuan a night?!"
"En." Wang Qiang put both hands on the POS machine, and said courteously, "You see, he drank precious wine and dropped the best glasses. Just look at this." Wang Qiang pointed to the glass on the ground. A piece of glass shards, "One for two thousand."
"And the 2009 dry red wine from the famous French Chateau Margaux?"
"Xiao Yuan, I'm not talking about you. You have a good eye for picking people. Let's see how long you choose."
Cao Yuan's face turned dark, he turned Zhou Jin upside down, and said, "Next month's Weihua annual meeting will be hosted by my sister, and I can get you a ticket."
"Really?!" Wang Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard it. The tickets for Weihua's annual meeting were all digested internally. Yuan took the initiative to say that he could give it to him... Why did he feel that there was a huge conspiracy behind it?
"You... are you so kind?"
"Of course, it is my duty to be my future brother-in-law."
Upon hearing the word brother-in-law, Wang Qiang felt more comfortable. He giggled and said modestly, "Hey, don't call me so early..."
"Okay, the entrance ticket costs [-], and you can transfer the remaining [-] to me via Alipay, and I'm leaving."
"Hey..." Wang Qiang held the 2009 dry red wine of Chateau Margaux, a famous French chateau, and his heart broke into glass shards.
Cao Yuan didn't send Zhou Jin back to Cheng Xia's house, he left a message for Cheng Xia and brought him back to his home.
When getting the man out of the car, Zhou Jin leaned his head on Cao Yuan's shoulder slantingly, and the breath of alcohol from his mouth kept burrowing into his neck.Cao Yuan stretched out his hand to embrace the slid waist, and cursed softly: "This guy."
Once inside the room, he couldn't see anything. Cao Yuan reached out and groped along the wall for a long time, but he didn't touch the switch of the chandelier in the living room.He could only send Zhou Jin to his room with the help of the streetlight coming in through the window.
Zhou Jin threw himself into the quilt and brought Cao Yuan over at once. There was a muffled sound when the two bodies collided. In the moonlight outside the window, Cao Yuan looked at Zhou Jin's side face, his eyes were tightly closed. Tightly closed, the eyelashes cast a layer of ash under the eyelids, and a pair of tightly pursed lips lined down the bridge of the nose.
He sighed, and stroked Zhou Jin's eyebrows a little helplessly, "Hey...forget it, no matter what kind of monster you are, I just like you."
Cao Yuan got up from Zhou Jin's body, fished out the quilt that was pressed underneath, covered Zhou Jin, and went out of the room on tiptoe.He would not know that when he turned around, a pair of eyes opened in the darkness, quietly watching his back.
☆、Chapter 28 (Modified)
Cao Yuan sat on the bamboo and rattan chair beside the bed against the light, his feet were wearing gray cotton slippers resting on the window frame, his arms were wrapped around his chest, and he squinted his eyes to see the wind blowing on the window sill of the top floor of the opposite building. withered creeper.
"Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up."
The quilt arched into a small bag, and the people inside did not move, only a strand of soft hair sticking out of the quilt.
Cao Yuan gave the little bulge a funny look, and said, "Okay, who is sleeping and inhaling like this, with a long sound and a short sound.
Zhou Jin sighed deeply in his heart, squirmed his body, revealed a pair of eyes from under the quilt, and looked at Cao Yuan flatteringly, "Brother Yuan."
Cao Yuan didn't say anything, he got up and took the milk on the side, and passed it to Zhou Jin, "Does your headache hurt?"
"It hurts..." The milk was still warm in his hand, Zhou Jin took a sip to test the temperature, and the temperature was just right.
"Is there any other discomfort?"
"No, just a little dizzy."
Cao Yuan sighed softly, and said: "Your contract is Wei Hua's internal contract, which all artists must abide by. It is not aimed at you, let alone me."
"Brother Yuan, I didn't lose my temper on purpose yesterday. I, I don't know what's wrong with me. As soon as I saw the terms written on it, I lost my mind." Zhou Jin took a deep breath and said, "If you can , I also want to return the person to you, but I can't, I can't do it."
Zhou Jin's words hit Cao Yuan's heart like stones, and he suddenly felt that he was cruel. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at this matter from Zhou Jin's perspective, but blindly drilled into a dead end, thinking that This love must be an excuse and a lie, because Cao Yuan has never had such a wonderful miracle happen to him since he was a child.
On the day of the accident, he had already guessed the possibility of time travel, but people just turned a deaf ear to what happened under their noses, and insisted on believing what they wanted to believe.And isn't Zhou Jin the most hurt by his stubbornness?
Cao Yuan leaned over, put his hand on Zhou Jin's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "I never thought of changing someone back, never, I'm glad it's you."
Cao Yuan didn't speak any more. He stood up from the rattan chair, walked outside the door, stopped at the door, turned his back to Zhou Jin and asked, "You...what was your original name?"
Zhou Jin was startled, he raised his eyes and looked at Cao Yuan seriously, Cao Yuan's face was facing him, he could only see the two pursed lips under the bridge of his straight nose, he lowered his head, his hands tightly Holding the cup, "What, what?"
"your name."
"Li Qi, peaches and plums don't say anything, and you will form a trail by yourself."
Cao Yuan glanced at Zhou Jin in surprise and said, "Li Qi?"
"Ah."
"The name suits you well."
"Brother Yuan..." Zhou Jin stopped Cao Yuan who was going out, and said, "Brother Yuan, can you still call me Xiaojin from now on? Xingjin is my word."
Cao Yuan nodded, "Okay, so no one will find out."
After Cao Yuan went out, Zhou Jin got up from the bed. A set of shirt and trousers had been prepared for him, and they were neatly placed on the chair beside him. This set of clothes was left behind when he lived here. Fits just right.
After Zhou Jin packed up, he started to work in the kitchen. There were vegetables and meat in the refrigerator, so he could cook a delicious meal. After a burst of chaos, Zhou Jin managed to whip up a few big dishes, a few side dishes, and a pot of soup , and then cleaned up the messy pool, sat at the table and waited intently for Cao Yuan to come back.
The soup turned from hot to warm, and finally turned cold. The hour and minute hands on the dial chased each other towards the twelve o'clock mark.
Zhou Jin was a little discouraged, and put the food into the pot to heat it up again. When his upper and lower eyelids were hot, the sound of a key turning came from outside the door, and Zhou Jin woke up all the sleepy people with melon seeds in his head. He hurriedly got up and went to the pot to bring out the hot soup. In a moment of impatience, he scalded his hand hard, and the pain made him grin his teeth and almost scold his mother.
This was the first scene Cao Yuan saw when he came home. Under the dim light, a man in an apron jumped up and down with a distorted face, shaking his hot red hand.
"You...didn't leave?"
Cao Yuan came back so late on purpose, because he didn't want to watch Zhou Jin go out through this door again and never come back.So he waited until now, ready to come back lonely and face the desolation in the room.But no, Zhou Jin didn't leave, but wrapped a table of meals for him in an apron, waiting for him, waiting for him.
"I, I'll go back later..."
Zhou Jin put down the spoon a little aggrieved. It turned out that Cao Yuan didn't come back all day because he was hiding from him, because he didn't know what to do.
Zhou Jin stretched his hand behind his back to untie the knot on the apron with some discomfort. His fingers still hurt a little, and he couldn't untie a simple knot for a long time.
"Apply it." Cao Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Jin, took out ice cubes from the refrigerator, and applied the ice to the hot spot.His hand tightly held Zhou Jin's, the temperature between the two of them seemed a bit too high, the ice cubes melted quickly, and soon turned into a puddle of water in Zhou Jin's palm.
Cao Yuan slowly approached, Zhou Jin felt that the tip of his nose was about to touch Cao Yuan's, he swallowed and said, "Brother Yuan came back so late, are you hungry?"
Cao Yuan nodded and said, "I'm hungry." After speaking, he put his arms around Zhou Jin's waist and pressed him against the kitchen sink, water stains seeping through Zhou Jin's back. "But you can eat later."
Zhou Jin began to have some strange hallucinations.
At first, this hallucination was just a momentary trance, he felt that his body and his soul were separated, like a ghost floating in mid-air, looking down at himself standing on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, this hallucination lasted longer and longer, and he began to feel that the time passing by his body suddenly stopped, and then went backwards, but time cannot be reversed.But now, this illusion has become a real touch. He can raise his hand and see that his palm is slightly red under the sunlight. His neck was a little itchy.He got up from his seat, pushed the door open, and saw the old woman who had taken care of him for 20 years stooped, choosing the fabric for his winter clothes.He moved his lips, and a voice clearly escaped from his lips: "Mother..."
The old nanny raised her head, her face was wrinkled layer upon layer like ravines, which looked soft in Zhou Jin's dream.The old mama's mouth fell into a smile, and she pursed her lips and said, "His Royal Highness, the Third Prince, has woken up."
The old nanny's voice reached Zhou Jin's ears, his nose sore, and he almost cried.
Seeing Zhou Jin's appearance, the old mother opened her arms and said, "Your Highness, come and measure your body, and you've jumped up again."
Zhou Jin was startled by what the old nanny said. He lowered his head, rolled up his sleeves, and saw his slender arms like a child's. He looked at his feet again, wearing tiger-toed shoes, like a doll.
Zhou Jin suppressed the doubts and fears in his heart, walked slowly to the edge of the pool, looked inside, and saw a small face about seven or eight years old.
Zhou Jin stepped back abruptly, feeling as if his body was thrown from a high altitude, falling straight down, and finally his whole body trembled, waking up from this weird dream.
He opened his eyes and found that it was not yet dawn, and his hair was drenched with sweat, as if he had crawled out of a deep pool of water.
Zhou Jin's body trembled suddenly, awakening Cao Yuan who was holding him from behind. Cao Yuan turned on the bedside lamp, reached out and touched Zhou Jin's cold cheek, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Zhou Jin nodded, then shook his head again, "I had a dream."
Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Zhou Jin tighter from behind, and asked, "What did you dream about?"
"It's nothing, I dreamed about the past." Zhou Jin said, while silently clenching Cao Yuan's arm, he moved his body closer and pressed it tightly against Cao Yuan's chest, as if he wanted to use this The method confirms the existence of Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan's drowsiness came up again. He reached out and turned off the lamp, turned over, wrapped Zhou Jin tightly, closed his eyes and fell asleep again, with the sound of heavy breathing on Zhou Jin's cheeks.Zhou Jin tried to close his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep anymore. He wondered if it was really time for him to stay here.
The author has something to say: This chapter is Xiaoduanjun o((≧▽≦o) Please don’t laugh at him.
☆、Chapter 29
After Zhou Jin negotiated with Secretary Wang, Weihua Group began to arrange a signing ceremony for Zhou Jin. Because it had to be before the Chinese New Year, the time was directly set on New Year's Day, which happened to be held together with the Weihua Group's annual meeting.
This year's annual meeting was arranged by Cao Yiran, and the venue was set in Hainan, so now Zhou Jin was sitting on the cabin refreshed with a mountaineering bag on his back.
Cao Yuan was not so relaxed. His face was crying like a bitter gourd. He frowned and leaned back on the chair, and said, "Why are you not afraid at all? After all, you are also an ancient person, so you are not afraid of the plane falling." come down?"
Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "No, this wing is the same as a bird's wing, it's so big, the convection of the air underneath will lift the plane up." Zhou Jin spoke with relish, he looked up at Cao Yuan, and said : "Brother Yuan, you are not afraid of flying, are you?"
"Hmph," Cao Yuan snorted, and said, "I, I'm not afraid." Cao Yuan glanced out the window, and almost spat out, "Oh my god, I've already flown so high ?!"
Zhou Jin then stretched his neck and looked out the window, and said, "No."
"Why not? The people outside are already as big as ants..."
"Brother Yuan, those are really ants."
"..." Zhou Jin and Cao Yuan's seats were at the back of the case, and the passengers sitting in front had to go to the aisle next to them to go to the bathroom.
A handsome young man walked past them wearing sunglasses, and turned back after walking a short distance. The man pulled off the sunglasses with his fingers, looked at Zhou Jin in shock, and said, "Zhou Jin? skillful?!"
Fang Zhengyi's voice was not loud, but several people had already turned their heads to look at the two of them. Those people were wearing SLR cameras and peaked caps around their necks. They looked like reporters who were stationed at the gate of the Weihua annual meeting. Fang Zhengyi lowered his voice. The voice leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What... are you going to Hainan for?"
"I..." Zhou Jin really didn't know how to tell Fang Zhengyi about this for a while. After all, when Fang Zhengyi asked him if he wanted to sign Wei Hua, he assured him that there was no such thing.
Zhou Jin's stuttering Fang Zhengyi understood everything, his eyes darkened, and he figured out a general idea in his heart. This time Weihua said he would sign an artist at the Weihua annual meeting, and he made a mysterious face. All the entertainment media came out in full force, waiting at the hotel where they were going to stay to make a big news. Now it seems that this mysterious artist should be Zhou Jin.
Fang Zhengyi was angry, what was all this about.Back then, he and Zhou Jin, one played the male lead and the other played the second male lead, but he was overwhelmed by him. Now, Zhou Jin is going to sign Wei Hua directly by selling meat. His nephew Cao Yongjian is not like that. good treatment.
"It turns out that Brother Xiao Zhou wants to sign Wei Hua. Congratulations." Fang Zhengyi's congratulations sounded a bit ambiguous, but he changed the subject and said, "No wonder I heard that Brother Zhou was appointed to act in Director Wen's new play." As for the male lead, it turns out he has changed his employer."
"No," Zhou Jin hurriedly explained, "Director Wen came to me before signing the contract."
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Really? So I liked Xiao Zhou's acting skills. Xiao Zhou is really capable. Brother Yuan asked you to act in Director Wen's play. The real person doesn't show his face. Brother Yuan is now In this way, you can see with a sharp eye that he is Wei Hua's son, it's not simple, it's not simple."
"Fang Zhengyi, what the hell are you talking about?" Cao Yuan, who was sleeping beside him, took off the blindfold on his face.
"Cousin... Cousin..." Fang Zhengyi did not expect that he would
