Chapter XI
Shen Yi rushed to the bar and found the sleeping figure lying on the bar, as well as Liang Jing who was bored with his mobile phone on the side.
"A-Jing, thank you for taking care of him tonight."
"Excuse me, you can get him away quickly. I have an announcement tomorrow and need to go back to sleep. Oh yes, you remember to settle the bill. With that, he handed Zhuo Zhuo's mobile phone to Shen Yi and got up to leave.
Shen Yi settled the account and left the bar with Zhuo Zhuo.
After arriving home, Shen Yi put Zhuo Zhuo on the bed, took off his shoes and socks, and wiped Zhuo Zhuo's face with a towel. Although the movements were very light, Zhuo Zhuo still opened his eyes slightly.
Zhuo Zhuo, who had not yet woken up from the wine, was a little chaotic, and there was a vague figure in his slightly open eyes. I heard him ask if he was thirsty, so he answered vaguely. Zhuo Zhuo blinked, the figure in front of him was a little familiar---- it was so good, I dreamed of him again.
After a long time, Zhuo Zhuo's wine slowly dissipated, and all his senses were awakened, and he finally opened his eyes as if he was surprised. The figure in front of him suddenly became clear, and he saw his own shadow in the man's deep eyes. He opened his mouth, and a thousand words were about to come out, but in the end he was choked in his throat. The warm wetness slipped out of the corners of Zhuo Zhuo's eyes one by one, as if it had been accumulated for a long time, and there was no end to crackling.
After a while, he sobbed slightly and stretched out his hand and gently stroked the familiar face in front of him.
"It really wasn't a dream."
Shen Yi looked at him gently when he heard this: "Fool." β
"Shen Yi"
"I'm in"
"Shen Yi"
"I'm in"
Zhuo Zhuo woke up with a hangover headache, and in a daze, he wanted to get up and find water to drink, but he caused a burst of obvious discomfort. Zhuo Zhuo was stunned, then he opened his eyes and looked aroundβit was Shen Yi's bedroom.
So Shen Yi brought him home last night, and then they returned ...... Ay.
Zhuo Zhuo pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Two seconds later, he threw himself back on the bed again, rolled the quilt tightly from side to side, and shouted in a wide voice:
"Shen Yi! Give me one piece of clothing! β
After a while, Shen Yi pushed the door in with breakfast. Seeing Zhuo Zhuo wrapping himself in only one head, panting angrily, Shen Yi couldn't help laughing, put breakfast on the bedside table, picked up a glass of warm water and sat on the side of the bed, helped Zhuo Zhuo up with the quilt, and said softly: "Drink some water." β
Zhuo Zhuo was really thirsty, so he took a few sips of the cup in his hand.
Shen Yi picked up breakfast and planned to feed him, but Zhuo Zhuo hurriedly fished his hand out of the quilt when he saw this: "Eh, don't be, don't be, big man, what to feed." With that, he took his breakfast and ate it.
Shen Yi looked at him gently, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Zhuo Zhuo, Haozhi's words, don't take it to heart." β
Zhuo Zhuo stopped the movement in his hand and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "But Shen Yi, what to do, even I think that he is right." β
Shen Yi gradually put away the tenderness in his eyes, frowned, was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Zhuo Zhuo, if what I do is only in exchange for your guilt after all, then my efforts over the years have really been in vain." β
Zhuo Zhuo hung his head and stared at the breakfast in his hand, unable to see the injured look in Shen Yi's eyes.
Shen Yi got up, took out a set of loungewear and new underwear from the closet and threw them on the bed, and then walked out of the bedroom.
"Angered him again." Zhuo Zhuo put down the plate, a little depressed: "Zhuo Zhuo, you are really capable." β
Zhuo Zhuo got dressed and went out before he finished breakfast, and found the figure who was eating breakfast silently in the restaurant. The empty room, the person, the breakfast, the sun shining through the window, sprinkled on him in a thin layer, obviously the warmest thing in the world, but it could not cover the slightest smell of cold loneliness on that person.
- Shen Yi, how many such mornings have you spent alone?
Zhuo Zhuo told himself over and over again: he didn't want to see Shen Yi like this anymore, he wanted to crush all Shen Yi's loneliness and throw it into the depths of time, and he wanted to grab every inch of sunlight to cover it and then hand it to him to keep him warm.
Zhuo Zhuo looked at Shen Yi from afar, his eyes sour. He walked over step by step and sat opposite Shen Yi. Shen Yi didn't look up and continued to eat the things on his plate.
Zhuo Zhuo spoke: "Shen Yi, I will accompany you every time I have breakfast in the future, okay?" There was some subtle temptation and tension in his suppressed voice.
Shen Yi didn't respond, and continued to move in his hand as if he hadn't heard it.
Isn't it possible? It seems that he is really angry. said that he would not make him sad anymore, but unfortunately he was messed up by himself again, Zhuo Zhuo, you are really stupid.
Zhuo Zhuo tightened the fork in his hand and said slowly:
"Yes, I feel indebted, I feel indebted to the three years I didn't participate in, I feel indebted to you who lived alone during that time. But time is gone, I can't afford to pay it back, and I don't want to drill that bull's horn. I want to leave my guilt in those three years, and the time that follows will be covered year by year, and it will be buried deeper and deeper, and I will always forget it. β
"But for this you who reappeared in front of me, I just want to spend all my time with me. It's not because of guilt, it's not that I want to pay anything back, I just ......" He paused, took a deep breath, and forced back the choked throat that had suddenly welled up in his throat.
"I just want to accompany you, every morning, every sunset and dusk, stay by your side---- Shen Yi, is it okay?"
For a few minutes, no one spoke, Zhuo Zhuo listened to Shen Yi's gentle breathing, and the uncertainty in his heart was slowly amplified by this difficult time, making him nervous and uneasy.
After a while, Shen Yi finally stopped what he was doing and spit out a word:
"Okay."
Zhuo Zhuo, who got the response, finally breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and fiddled with the things on the plate, a crystal fell into it unexpectedly, Zhuo Zhuo cut off the piece and put it in his mouth:
- Strange, neither bitter nor astringent.
The sound of knives and forks colliding with plates makes the dining room even quieter. Neither of them spoke again, but Zhuo Zhuo felt that there was a trace of sweetness flowing in the silent air at this time, refreshing, and the person he longed for the most in his memory was sitting in front of him, within reach.
It was the best morning in three years.
Zhuo Zhuo's mobile phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence at this time, it was Apricot calling.
"Hey, Apricot."
"Hey, Brother Zhuo, you have to join the group in a week before Director Nie's drama, how are you preparing over there?"
"Director Nie's drama...... Okay, I know, I'm not at home at this time, I'll contact you later. β
Director Nie is a popular cutting-edge director in the past two years, bold innovation in the shooting techniques of TV dramas, unique insights into the interpretation of the script, and was shortlisted for the Best Director Award at the Hundred Flowers Award last year. Zhuo Zhuo has watched the plays he directed, and has always admired him very much, and he feels that it is a rare opportunity to win the leading role of Director Nie's new drama.
But now, I have promised that Shen Yi will terminate the contract with WJ, so this drama ...... Zhuo Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.
