"What time is it, Qianning xi." Jiang Zhican's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes fell on the night and lights outside the window, and his expression was tired.

"Seven forty-five p.m., Minister Nim." Qian Ning glanced at his watch that had adjusted the jet lag, sat down next to Jiang Zhican, and picked up the fruit knife, "Do you want to eat fruit, apples or kiwifruit?" ”

"If you're not too bothered, I'd rather like to eat yuzu." Jiang Zhican glanced at the yellow grapefruit on the bedtable, raised his hand to take the thermos cup, but helplessly found that his arm was weak. Qianning opened the thermos cup and handed it to him, and actually peeled the grapefruit according to his words, which made him a little surprised and moved.

"Sharing worries for the boss is the friendship of subordinates, Minister Nim, you don't have to look at me like this, in fact, peeling grapefruit is such a thing, I, I still often, do, yes!"

Qianning used a knife to make a few cuts on the surface of the grapefruit, but the cut was not deep enough, and she blushed and peeled it very hard. The bangs on her forehead drooped down, covering her glasses. The small teeth bit the lower lip, and there was a great momentum of not giving up until the goal was reached.

Jiang Zhican watched her fight with Yuzu while gently moving her wrist and neck, and the long lying for more than a day and then counting the long sitting on the plane made his body very uncomfortable, and the pain in his head almost disappeared, which was good news.

"Qianning xi, you can cut a few more cuts, and don't be afraid to cut the flesh inside, it can be deeper, and it won't get in the way."

Qianning nodded, still biting her lower lip.

"It's number eight now, right?" Jiang Zhican asked.

"No, it's still Seven. We're in the Western Hemisphere yet, Minister Nim! Qianning peeled aside the two pieces of white peel, and finally saw the prototype of some flesh, "Seoul is the eighth, well, I heard from the staff of TheTaeTiSeo, TTS's Taeyeon Xi and Seo Hyun Xi arrived at two o'clock this afternoon, and Tiffany will probably be a little late, but now, it should have arrived, after all, tomorrow night is the Hallyu Festival, and it will take a day to get used to the jet lag." ”

"Tomorrow? Didn't you say that today is only the seventh, so tomorrow is not the eighth? Jiang Zhican asked in surprise.

"yes!" Qianning was even more surprised, Jiang Zhican's problem was not a problem at all!

"Then how do you say that tomorrow is the Hallyu Festival, isn't the celebration on the 9th?" When the words fell, Jiang Zhican reacted first, he turned out to be confused with the simplest concept of time.

"The ninth is Korea time, and when I was in Korea, of course everyone said that."

"Well, I see, I'm confused." Jiang Zhican smiled, then calculated for a moment, and suddenly found that with the time of Xu Xian's arrival, even if he went to pick up the airport, he would not be able to fulfill the promise of a surprise to Xu Xian the next day when he was in South Korea, because at two o'clock in the afternoon, it was already the third day in South Korea.

Is this good news? At least there can be an excuse? Not estimating the jet lag should be an excusable mistake for a young man who has never flown long distances, right?

Jiang Zhican thought wildly, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, but unexpectedly found that the mobile phone had automatically turned off due to insufficient power. Probably there wasn't much power left, Jiang Zhican's face was bitter, and after plugging in the power bank and turning it on, he really saw several missed calls and inquiry text messages from Xu Xian, and turned on SNS, and there was also Xu Xian's message on it, the latest one, just ten minutes ago.

He stared at the screen for a moment, then looked up at Qianning: "When can I be discharged from the hospital?" ”

"I don't know, I said that I was in the hospital for a few days, but as for how many days, no one told me. But I think it's probably like the homework paper when I was studying, saying that it is a few sheets, but in fact, it is never finished. Word play. ”

Qian Ning said without raising his head, he had removed all the first layer of the pomelo peel, which was cleaning up the white second layer of peel that was left because it was not peeled deep enough.

"I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning, Qianning Xi, you will go and talk to the people in the hospital later, as for the bill payment, you can use my card, oh yes, the expenses you paid before, remember to send me the bill, and I will pay it back to you."

"Will you be discharged from the hospital tomorrow? Minister Nim, you don't look very good right now, so you might as well rest for two more days? ”

"No, you don't." Jiang Zhican lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and replied to Xu Xian's message:

Sorry Nuna, because of some accidents, I couldn't answer and reply to your call in time. I'm fine, don't worry. Hmm~ Although I don't want to admit it, I did miss the appointment and couldn't give you the surprise I prepared at the appointed time. Been waiting, right? I'm sorry. I'll do what I promised you as soon as I can, really, I promise!

Qian Ning's cheers suddenly came from the side, Jiang Zhican put down his phone, and saw that the grapefruit in her hand was finally peeled completely, and the tender flesh even emerged from the last film, exuding an attractive color.

"Congratulations to you Qianning xi, the challenge of peeling grapefruit was successful!" Jiang Zhican applauded.

"Haha, thank you very much, I will continue to work hard!" Qianning bowed cooperatively and smiled.

"Well, then I'll give Qianning Xi another task, presumably Qianning Xi will also be able to succeed, right?"

"Hey, what?" Qianning was stunned.

"I'm going to be discharged from the hospital later, so please ask Qianning Xi to go through my discharge procedures now, thank you very much!" Jiang Zhican folded his hands and asked.

"Now? How can this work, you have to rest for another night, right? Qianning's eyes widened, and her face was still stained with white peel, "I haven't eaten the grapefruit yet!" ”

"Eat it on the road, eat it tomorrow, you can eat it the day after tomorrow, I promise to eat it all and put it in the refrigerator!" Jiang Zhican stretched out his hand and pushed Qianning, "Isn't the Hallyu celebration the official start of the show's overseas filming, as a producer, I always have to be on the scene, Qianning Xi, hurry up!" ”

"Well・・・・・・ well," Qianning hesitated as she walked out, "but I can't guarantee that the doctor will approve your discharge." ”

"It's not up to him." Jiang Zhican sat on the bed and did stretching exercises to move his body, "Oh, did you take my card?" Remember to use my card to pay for your hospitalization. ”

"No, President Nim has already remitted me a sum of money, saying that it is a reimbursement for hospitalization, and Minister Nim, even if you live here for two months, you will not owe money." Qianning closed the door and left, telling Jiang Zhican what he hadn't mentioned before.

She actually wanted to ask about the video call last night, it was a one-way video, and she couldn't see who was on the other end of the screen, and Jiang Zhican was asleep at the time. But if he had been told that such a video call had happened, he should have been able to guess who the other party was, right? Just thinking of the faint warning from Ke Qiuche, Qianning's little caution quickly disappeared like dust in the wind.

Jiang Zhican got out of bed and got off the ground, feeling a little ashamed of the hospitalization reimbursement that Qian Ning said - being hospitalized because of a long-distance flight was a bit embarrassing, and Ke Qiuche knew that it was a work-related injury, which made him feel even more embarrassed. After all, he was a young man of twenty-two, not a fifty-two-year-old.

But now is not the time to think about these things, and when I return to Seoul, I can naturally find Ke Qiuche to explain and revoke this reimbursement. What needs to be considered now is what kind of way to appear in front of Xu Xian. His original expectation was actually not bad, when Xu Xian experienced the fatigue of a long-distance flight, he suddenly appeared in front of Xu Xian with a handsome bouquet of flowers, first mixed in the fan group who picked up the airport, took a few photos of Xu Xian beautifully, and then took advantage of Xu Xian's surprise and wonder if he was looking at the wrong person, quickly ran to their car, put on a pet hood, hid in the trunk, and gave himself as a surprise gift to Xu Xian.

Of course, there will also be documents related to him as a producer of TheTaeTiSeo, which means that in the next two months, he will have a fixed meeting time with Xu Xian, and he will also accompany Xu Xian in a way of work. He always remembered that night by the river, Xu Xian talked about the loneliness of returning and not having enough time to take care of him. And now, as a producer, he will take care of Xu Xian at least in some aspects of her work.

This is what he calls a gift on the non-material level, a long-term companionship that can be expected, strongly fixed and unchanging in the form of a variety show.

By the way, isn't Kim Taeyeon on the same plane as Seo Hyun? The original plan can be called a double win. Maybe pet head coverings affect hairstyles? That's canceled, anyway, it's just empty talk now, it's already too late.

Jiang Zhican walked slowly to the window, not noticing that the floor of the ward had changed. The night scene outside the window is still beautiful, like a pearl radiating brilliance. He moved a chair and sat in front of the window, and had some ideas in his mind about meeting Xu Xian, but at this moment, looking at the dreamlike night scene outside the window, he suddenly couldn't think about anything, just stared at the darkness between the lights and shadows outside the window for a long time—where was the Alan Smith Garden?

Oh, for a long time, he suddenly chuckled, Smith Garden is in the river valley, you idiot・・・・・・
