66. 『 Expectation 』
When Shen Jue received a call from Zheng Xian, his face was still hazy with sleepiness.
"Yes, it's convenient now, you please. ”
Zheng Xian's majestic voice came from the phone, Shen Jue clenched the quilt corner in his hand, lowered his eyes and said,
"Yes, that...... I know. ”
Zheng Xian over there suddenly raised his voice, and the disappointment in his tone was instantly revealed. The thin lips pursed into a straight line, and Shen Jue whispered with some difficulty,
“...... I'm so sorry I shouldn't have ......."
Listening to Zheng Xian on the other side of the phone interrupting him tiredly, Shen Jue unconsciously clenched his phone. Zheng Xian over there suddenly said something in a low voice, Shen Jue shuddered, and suddenly his eyes widened-
"You mean...... Do you want to review that contract yourself?"
Gu Shengge sat on the sofa in the Zheng family's living room, and couldn't hide his worry and peeked at Zheng Hengzhao beside him.
After coming out of his father's study, he sat there without saying a word, his slender fingers still stained with blood. Rejecting Aunt Pei's bandage, Zheng Hengzhao sat silently on the sofa. His back was straight, like a lonely tree. Dark red blood kept gushing out from the half-finger-long wound on his finger, which made Gu Shengge's heart astringent.
Zheng's mother was still talking to Zheng Xian upstairs, Gu Shengge glanced at Zheng Hengzhao beside him, and finally couldn't help but lean over.
Carefully grabbing the man's hand, Gu Shengge lowered his head and leaned close to the hideous wound and blew gently. Feeling the hand in his arms tremble slightly, Gu Shengge raised his eyes and couldn't hide his distress and glanced at the silent Zheng Hengzhao.
"This can't be done, the bleeding can't stop...... I'll wrap it up for you, okay?"
Glancing at Gu Shengge deeply, Zheng Hengzhao nodded silently.
Seeing that the man breathed a sigh of relief, he got up and went to Aunt Pei to ask for gauze. Zheng Hengzhao lowered his eyes and curled up his fingers unconsciously.
How is he going to speak...... In order to minimize the damage to him?
There was a warm stinging pain between his fingers, Zheng Hengzhao lowered his eyes, only to feel that the pain seemed to spread all the way to his temples, and the pain made him uneasy.
Suddenly there was a cold touch from the fingertips, with the aroma of oranges, and the skin touched the fingertips. Zheng Hengzhao raised his eyes and looked deeply at Gu Shengge, who was squatting in front of him and carefully bandaging him, and for a moment he had an almost ridiculous impulse.
His gaze swept over Gu Shengge's pale lips, and Zheng Hengzhao's eyes unconsciously deepened. The originally steady breathing became a little short, Zheng Hengzhao stared at the person close at hand in front of him, and for a moment he just wanted to hug the back of his head and kiss him deeply-
"Ahh
Zheng's mother's exclamation suddenly sounded in her ears, as if she had been hit by thunder, Zheng Hengzhao trembled, and her eyes, which were originally a little blurry, instantly cleared.
Feeling Zheng Hengzhao's trembling just now, Gu Shengge raised his eyes in some confusion with iodine wine cotton, "Did it hurt you?"
"It's fine. Reassuring Gu Shengge with his eyes, Zheng Hengzhao looked at his indignant mother on the side, "Mom, it's just a small bruise, it's nothing." ”
"What kind of small abrasions! Small bruises can shed so much blood?" Painfully grabbing Zheng Hengzhao's blood-stained wrist, Zheng's mother squatted next to Gu Shengge, leaned over her head to observe Zheng Hengzhao's fingers, "Ah! Such a long cut! What can I do with this......" Holding Zheng Hengzhao's bloody fingers, Zheng's mother suddenly reddened her eyes for a while, "Oh, it's really careless! You are the hand that is going to play the piano, this time you have to leave a scar!" Looking at her son's fingers distressedly, Zheng's mother suddenly stood up with the corners of her eyes wiped from the corners of her eyes, "...... No, it's all your dad's fault! I have to talk to him!"
"Mom, I scratched it myself, it has nothing to do with Dad......"
"I don't care! I blame your dad for this matter today!"
Decisively ignoring Zheng Hengzhao's helpless obstruction, Zheng's mother patted Gu Shengge's shoulder with red eyes,
"Xiao Sheng, Heng Zhao will be handed over to you," Seeing Gu Shengge nodding seriously, Zheng's mother turned around and went upstairs violently, "Zheng Xian, do you know that your son is injured! If he can't play the piano, you ......?"
Sighing helplessly, Zheng Hengzhao rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "My mother is here again, it doesn't matter, but I have to blame my father......"
"Actually......" Carefully picked up the gauze and wrapped it around Zheng Hengzhao, Gu Shengge replied with a low eye, "I also blame him a little......"
"Huh?" Raising his eyes in surprise, Zheng Hengzhao looked at Gu Shengge, who was lowering his eyes, and thought for a moment that he had misheard, "What did you say?"
“...... It's nothing. Tie the gauze in a knot, Gu Shengge looked away a little unnaturally. Standing up and stomping on his numb feet, Gu Shengge paused, as if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Hengzhao,
"I said—what day of the week is today?"
When Shen Jue closed the phone and lay down again, the previous sleepiness had disappeared.
Lifted the quilt and got out of bed, absentmindedly into the bathroom. When he came out wiping his hair, Shen Jue hesitated for a while, but slowly walked into the study.
Leaning down to open the bottom drawer of the bookcase, Shen Jue's fingers paused for a few seconds on the contract at the top of the drawer, and then silently took out the contract.
Lowering his eyes and reading the contract in his hand, Shen Jue found that he had less and less courage to hand over such a contract to Zheng Xian. The terms written in black and white on the contract are enough to make Zheng Xian furious. It doesn't matter if that person is disappointed in him, I'm afraid that he will really be disappointed in Hengzhao......
Pacing a few steps in the room in annoyance, Shen Jue was annoyed in his heart for his wanton indulgence of Zheng Hengzhao at that time, and at the same time he was entangled in whether to listen to Zheng Xian's words and hand over the contract to him. Sitting at the table with a hesitant expression, Shen Jue unconsciously tapped the table with his fingers. The mobile phone suddenly vibrated strongly, Shen Jue was startled, picked up the phone and glanced at the screen, and couldn't help but show a speechless expression-
"What are you doing? Tell me quickly, I'm busy. ”
"Hmm, busy sleeping?" a low chuckle came down the earpiece, with the man's characteristic magnetism.
Again...... Sighing silently, Shen Jue rolled his eyes at the ceiling, should he always call him in such a charming and magnetic voice, this is simply a foul!
"This is our third call today, Roselle," Shen Jue rubbed his eyebrows on the phone, "It looks like the schedule I arranged for you is really a little too loose, if you really feel free, then I can consider modifying it for you." ”
Sighing silently, Shen Jue didn't know what was wrong.
Since the oolong incident at the last concert, he always has a subtle sense of awkwardness when facing Luo Yi. Although Luo Yi later explained that it was to bite the spoon, so he accidentally touched it with the tip of his tongue...... But Shen Jue never let go inexplicably.
Shen Jue always thought that if Luo Yi was like himself after that incident, he consciously bypassed the other party, and this matter would be easier to handle. But on the contrary, after the concert, Luo Yi seemed to have suddenly found a medium to contact the two, and always called frequently under the pretext of apologies or greetings. Shen Jue watched the familiar name on the screen light up again and again, and he was really a little sad. If you don't take it, it will become strange between the two, but if you do, it will be like this-
"I've told you a lot," a magnetic chuckle came with a murmuring tone, and Luo Yi's voice sounded full of laughter on the phone, "But what can I do? With so much work, I still can't help but miss you......"
Unable to bear the corners of his forehead, Shen Jue clenched his phone hard.
...... If I did, it would be like this.
He was treated like a stress-relieving doll -- teasing, teasing, teasing, and ......
"I'm busy, I'm going to hang up now. With a stiff face and a cold voice on the phone, Shen Jue was about to cut off the call after a symbolic hello. Luo Yi's uncontrollable laughter suddenly came from the other side of the phone, Shen Jue's face was cold, and the fingers that slid towards the screen became more and more firm.
But he was about to hang up here, and the next second, he heard Luo Yiyang over there add with a loud voice and a smile-
"I forgot to mention that my uncle asked me to call you on the phone. As for me, I'm flying to England in two hours. Before that you give me that contract, I won't charge you for the courier—"
Stunned, he listened to the man finish reporting the name of the airport with a smile, and cut off the call with an uncharacteristically decisive and neat manner. Shen Jue stared at the mobile phone in his hand, and for a while he just wanted to crawl along the line and strangle that person!
It's hard to say if you can get there without traffic jams......
Since he was going to rush to the airport to deliver the contract, why did he have so much nonsense in the first place!
Throwing off the phone angrily, Shen Jue grabbed the contract on the table and put it into the bag. When he took off his pajamas and ran to the bedroom, Shen Jue was still cursing through gritted teeth in his heart-
Your plane will be delayed!!Suffocate under the siege of Roselle!Bastard!
It is completely different from Shen Jue, who rushed to the airport in a hurry.
Sitting on the leather sofa in the living room of his villa, Zheng Hengzhao struggled to move his fingers that were wrapped layer by layer, thinking blankly about Gu Shengge's question just now-
"What day of the week? It's Saturday, right?"
"Saturday!!Saturday!!!" jumped up excitedly, Gu Shengge looked at Zheng Hengzhao's blank expression, and almost wanted Ma Jingtao to lean over to wake him up, "Broadcast that tonight!
"Variety show?" Blinking suddenly, Zheng Hengzhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Shengge, "Yes, we also discussed it on the plane...... It's airing date, and it looks like it's ...... today."
“...... What should I do?" Thinking of all the bad things that happened that day, Gu Shengge was a little heartbroken, "The reaction of the fans tonight will definitely be very intense, and they all left messages on my Weibo saying that they are looking forward to it...... I always feel like something big will happen after the broadcast......"
"It turns out that you're worried about this?" Turning his face sideways with lack of interest, Zheng Hengzhao looked at Gu Shengge, who was rarely nervous in front of him, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips,
"yes, what will happen?......"
"I always think this play will be very exciting—"
