After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

When Ji Zeqiu heard that Lin Xu was being examined in the hospital, he became absent-minded. His thoughts drifted away with his sight. He kept wondering if she was sick and what disease she had...

Mingming just said that he should calm down for a while, stop projecting his mother's shadow on her, and just treat her as an ordinary person.

However, another little man in his mind popped up and told him.

Even if we are just ordinary people, it is normal to show concern when we know that the other person is sick.

After struggling for a long time, he finally found a reason to convince himself. Just as he was about to call Lin Xu, he received a message from her.

Willow catkins flying: [Can I go back to the villa and stay for a while these few days? ]

Ji Zeqiu’s message was replied almost instantly.

Qiu: [Why?]

Liu Xu Fei Yang: [Aren’t you going to stay at the crew’s place these days? I’m a bit bored at home alone, so I want to stay at the villa for a few days. Is that really not possible? ]

Willow catkins flying: [poor cat.jpg]

The kitten in the picture has tears in its eyes, which makes people feel soft-hearted. It looks just like Lin Xu pretending to be pitiful as usual.

Ji Zeqiu looked at the kitten emoticon and his expression gradually became gloomy.

Qiu: [Apart from this, is there anything else? ]

Willow catkins flying: [No more. ]

Liu Xu Fei Yang: [Ah, and remember to take care of yourself when you are out there. Be careful not to get hurt when filming. Also, pay attention to your diet. You had gastroenteritis last time...]

Lin Xu sent many words of concern and advice. If it were any other time, Ji Zeqiu would definitely dislike her for being nagging, and then he would take screenshots and send them to Ji Tingyang while mocking him.

But now he has no such intention at all.

His eyes swept across the screen full of words, but he couldn't find the information he wanted to see for a long time.

His expressionless face was covered with dark clouds.

Why didn't she tell him that she was sick?

Did she feel that he was not as reliable as Ji Tingyang, so she said nothing and moved to the villa to let Ji Tingyang take care of her?

"The second male lead has done NGs more than a dozen times, and the shooting time has been pushed back. It probably won't be our turn today. How about we go back to the hotel and have some rest first?" The agent came over from the director's side, muttering to himself.

Seeing Ji Zeqiu's ugly face, he was surprised for a moment, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm not going back to the hotel. I have something to go out for."

After Ji Zeqiu finished speaking, he walked straight outside.

Along the way, Ji Zeqiu was upset and before he knew it, the car had arrived at the Ji family villa. A look of annoyance suddenly flashed across his eyes.

Why did you drive here?

But since I'm here, why not sneak in and take a look?

As long as he saw that she was okay, he would leave.

Ji Zeqiu thought so and walked in lightly.

He immediately saw Lin Xu sitting on the sofa, with Ji Tingyang sitting next to her.

The next moment, he saw Ji Tingyang hugging Lin Xu. Before he could feel unhappy, he heard Ji Tingyang's tone of coquettishness mixed with a subtle hint of annoyance.

"Mom, would you please come back and live here?"

Ji Zeqiu was stunned, and felt a buzzing in his ears. His thoughts completely stopped at this moment and he stood there motionless.

Mother?

Why did Ji Tingyang call her mother?

Does he, like himself, feel that Lin Xu is similar to his mother, so he treats her as a shadow?

Or……

Ji Zeqiu was in a state of confusion, his brain seemed to be rusty and couldn't move at all.

in the living room.

Lin Xu reached out and gently soothed Ji Tingyang's head, with a faint smile on her lips, "You were so reluctant to go shopping with me when you were a child, why do you love to cling to me so much when you grow up?"

Xiao Tingyang has been a cold child since he was young. He doesn't like to be hugged by her or go out with her.

At that time, she was sad to her husband and asked if her eldest son disliked her.

I didn't expect that his personality would change completely when he grew up.

Hearing her teasing, Ji Tingyang's ears turned red and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

At the entrance of the villa, Ji Zeqiu was no longer seen.

He drove off and returned to his apartment in a daze.

Without Lin Xu in the room, it suddenly became much quieter, and darkness filled the entire apartment.

Ji Zeqiu didn't turn on the light. He just leaned forward on the sofa and lay down.

There was only one question repeating in my mind.

why?

The next morning.

Urgent ringing continued in the apartment.

The phone kept ringing, and after it automatically hung up, it rang again.

There is a kind of persistence that wants to call until the end of time, until someone answers the call.

Ji Zeqiu turned over on the sofa, frowning, and picked up the phone on the ground with his slender arms. He casually put it to his ear and answered the call with a hoarse voice, "Hello, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? What are you asking me?!" The agent roared angrily, "Where the hell have you been? Do you know you have a scene today?"

"I forgot." Ji Zeqiu rubbed his brows, feeling unhappy. "I have something to do today, so I won't go."

The agent was furious, "The whole crew has been waiting for you for quite some time, and now you say you can't come, do you want to be the focus of the hot searches tomorrow about you being a big shot and going on strike?"

Ji Zeqiu didn't take it seriously, "Just ask the director for leave."

"You're asking for leave now at the last minute. Do you want the director to scold me to death?" the agent went crazy.

Because we are going to shoot Ji Zeqiu's scene today, the location, props and supporting roles have been prepared long ago. If he doesn't come now, it would be like letting the entire crew down.

What's more, the other actors' schedules have already been fixed, so it's not that easy to adjust.

Just because of the day wasted today, the crew would have lost so much time and money.

The agent felt overwhelmed just thinking about it, "Brother, do you think you are too famous?"

Ji Zeqiu ignored his crying and said casually: "You can make up any excuse, even if you were hit by a car, just don't bother me today."

After saying that, he turned off his cell phone.

Ji Zeqiu lay on the sofa for a while. After a night, the word "mother" from Ji Tingyang was still echoing in his mind.

After a while, he suddenly got up, picked up the car keys and went out.

When I arrived at the villa again, Ji Tingyang and Lin Xu were not there.

The housekeeper saw him and thought he was looking for Ji Tingyang, so he said to him, "The eldest master is going out with Miss Lin. Let me tell the eldest master."

"No, I came back to get something, not to look for him."

Ji Zeqiu walked straight to his old room without any hesitation.

There was an old wooden box hidden under the bed, and its once shiny surface was now mottled.

Ji Zeqiu hid all the things about his parents in this wooden box and abandoned it here when he moved.

Ji Zeqiu pulled out a wooden box, which was covered with a thick layer of dust, covering up the years inside that he missed.

He reopened the box, and it was like opening Pandora's box, and the memories he had tried so hard to forget gradually returned.
