Chen Zai stared at the clear reflection on the water surface in a daze. The wind blew up and made ripples on the water surface. He watched the water surface shatter into pieces, and watched his own shadow gradually blur in the water.

Gu Zhi squatted by the river bed, struggling to pull out a plant of grass from the desert, and the long root broke under the desert.

"This kind of grass is called camel thorn. Its roots are generally 20 meters long. In order to survive, it penetrates deep into the ground to find water. Even if it is not on the bank of a river, it can still survive in the depths of the desert."

"It's amazing grass."

"There is another kind of tree called Poplar, which is the most common tree in Northwest China. It can grow on the side of the road or beside the field, wherever there is loess, that's where it lives. Give it a little water, and a branch of the poplar tree will take root and sprout. No one needs to fertilize it, and it doesn’t need to be watered like a delicate lawn. As long as you don’t cut it down with a knife and axe, give it a loose environment, Let it absorb the free air, and it will rise."

Chen no longer knew what camel thorns were, nor did he know what big white poplar was. He only knew the old pagoda tree that he played with mud under the tree, caught ants, and carved his height on the trunk when he was a child. He may not be able to fully hug him when he is surrounded.

But later, the old locust tree that grew up with him was finally sawed off.

Because it can be sold for money.

"Chen Zai."

"Ok?"

"Actually, in the eyes of many people, you are both like a camel thorn and a little white poplar."

Chen Zai squatted on the bank of the water, dialed the surface of the water with his hands, and smiled, "Why praise me, I'm not as strong as you said, like camel thorns and little Bai Yang, you don't know, I actually sometimes... "

Gu Zhi didn't want to hear him say such things, so he put his hands around the back of his neck and covered his mouth, "Chen Zai, you know that once you say such things, I really want to beat you up."

Chen Zai felt aggrieved, "I mean it."

With his limited memory, it seems that few people really praised him, and most of them were full of abuse and ridicule. Those things were his past, but they became his fault, and they were found out and became his black material. It seems that it is his fault that Chen Ke went to prison, and it is also his fault that he was bullied and forced to fight back when he was a child. He tried his best to distance himself from every actor he worked with in order not to let people think that he hugged his thigh, but it was still his fault.

But looking back now, it was actually nothing. At the beginning, he pretended not to see it, pretended not to hear it, and he still had a good life every day, but sometimes it was really overwhelming.

"I'm like, I've never done anything right, I've always been wrong."

Gu Zhi said of him, "Belittle yourself."

"I know how much I weigh. Although there are fewer people scolding me online now, there are not many people who like me. They are just pitying me, or feel guilty for speaking ill of me before."

"That's why they didn't see you."

"I also want to be like a small white poplar, but I don't think I can only be a camel's thorn like a small white poplar. In fact, it's smaller and inconspicuous, but it's pretty good."

"Chen Zai, I look forward to the day when you will grow into a big tree in the sky, and you will bend down to look at those who have underestimated you."

Chen Zai grinned, his brows and eyes curved, his white teeth brightened his eyes, that smile was clean, pure and innocent, almost shaking Gu Zhi's eyes.

"I hope, I also look forward to that day."

The sky is blue and cloudless.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

After getting in the car, the Wang Oasis moved away from his sight bit by bit.

Chen Zai probably understood the purpose of Gu Zhi's bringing him here, lying on the window of the car, feeling the heat waves and sandstorms coming, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Mr. Gu is quite good to himself.

Hmm... Let's share half of the bed with him in the future.

No matter how much Chen thought about it, he thought it was okay.

Suddenly, the car stopped suddenly, and Chen Zai almost knocked his chin.

Frowning, "What's wrong?"

"Sit in the car and don't move. I'll go down and have a look."

Gu Zhi got out of the car, lifted the hood of the car, checked it for a while, stood in front of the hood, and said helplessly, "The car is broken."

Chen Zai was startled, and hurriedly got out of the car, "It's broken? What kind of broken car are you!" Looking at the scorching sun in the sky, he took out his mobile phone and said bitterly, "No signal..."

Gu Zhi also took out his mobile phone and looked at it for a while, but there was no signal at all, and he frowned, "The distance here is too far."

"What should I do?"

The desert has a large temperature difference between day and night. The temperature may be [-] to [-] degrees now. At night, it is likely to drop to more than ten degrees or even several degrees.

Gu Zhi glanced at the yellow sand in the distance, "I have no choice but to wait for someone to rescue me."

Chen Zai raised his eyes and looked around at yellow sand, desperately said: "Wait for someone? How long will we have to wait?"

"If you are lucky, it may come later, in case..."

Chen panicked again, "We won't be so unlucky."

Seeing his dejected look, Gu Zhi stretched out his hand to touch the back of his head, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chen Zai glanced at him sideways.Where did this person get such confidence?

Gu Zhi was still beating and repairing the car in front of the car, while Chen Zai squatted aside to cheer him up.

In the end, Gu Zhi shook his head with his hands full of gasoline, "It can't be repaired."

Chen Zai looked up to the sky and wailed, "Mr. Gu, are you going bankrupt? Can you buy a more expensive off-road vehicle next time!"

Gu Zhi knew he was in the wrong, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed the price of the car.

Night fell quickly, and the two of them never waited for the rescuer. The temperature dropped sharply, and Chen Zai was a little sleepy in the car.

Gu Zhi brought him a blanket, "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

Chen Zai held the soft blanket in his hand and looked at him suspiciously, "Did you bring your own blanket in the car?"

Gu Zhi looked at him calmly, without changing his expression, "Strange? What's so strange."

Chen thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

"Yes, I did it on purpose, to stay overnight in this desert on purpose."

Chen Zai timidly said nothing.No matter what the reason was, the result was a foregone conclusion, so he had better speak carefully.

But the temperature in the desert was only seven or eight degrees, how could a small blanket be enough to keep out the cold? Chen Zai lay on the back seat, trembling a little.

Gu Zhi glanced at him through the rearview mirror, "This is not good, the temperature is too low, the car is broken down and there is no heating, you get up."

Chen Zai blinked at him and got up as he said.

Gu Zhi sat in the back seat, reached out and took away the blanket wrapped around Chen Zai, hugged him face to face, and then wrapped him in the blanket.

Chen Zai pressed his face against his chest, although there was a thin layer of clothing, but he still seemed to be able to feel Gu Zhi's vigorous heartbeat in his chest and the scorching temperature of his body, Chen Zai's eyes widened and his body stiffened.

Gu Zhi's joking voice rang in his ears, "So afraid of me?"

Such an intimate distance instantly made Chen Zai's heart beat faster.

"No...I just feel...I'm not cold..."

"You're shaking so badly even if it's not cold?" Gu Zhi reached out and took off his shoes, put his feet around his waist, put his arms around his waist, and rested his head on Gu Zhi's chest. People are like octopuses, attached to Gu Zhi's body, with a blanket covering his back.

During the whole process, Chen Zai was almost at his mercy.

"Sleep, it will be warmer."

Chen Zai was dazed for a moment, moved uneasily, wanted to get up, but Gu Zhi put his hands on his back, unable to move at all, so he could only look up at him, "Aren't you cold?"

Gu Zhi glanced at him lightly, "I'm a man, I'm not cold."

Chen bowed his head again, gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Frozen to death you bastard!"

Gu Zhi patted him on the back, "What are you talking about?"

"……nothing."

Chen didn't dare to speak any more, but felt that the man with full blood was actually quite warm.

"If it's cold, hug me tightly and sleep peacefully. I'll watch over you. You'll be fine."

The deep and magnetic voice really gave people a sense of security in this car, and Chen Zai's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and he lay lazily on his chest, "But I can't sleep."

"Chat?"

"What are you talking about?"

"How are you thinking about going abroad for further study?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zai's heart became alive again, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you think, with my intelligence, how many years can I come back?"

"Intelligence?" Gu Zhi laughed, "Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"

"I haven't said that I'm extremely smart, amazing, and gorgeous! Back then, I passed the city's eleventh exam, and there were only ten people above me."

"I really don't know how you got this ranking in the exam back then. Every time I see you, I look like a fool."

Hey!Chen Zai had such a violent temper, and when he heard this, he immediately exploded, "Fool? Who is the fool talking about? When did I look like a fool!"

Gu Zhi smiled and said nothing.

Chen thought about it carefully, although he was face blind, Luo Luo reminded him every time he met, so he didn't act like a fool.

"I'm not joking, do you really plan to go abroad for further study?"

Chen Zai said in a muffled voice: "Well, I think, I should be back in two or three years..."

"Well, two or three years."

After thinking about it again, Chen was still a little unwilling, so he raised his head and asked him, "Uncle Gu, do you think I will be popular after this drama is broadcast?"

"Aren't you red now?"

"I hope they like my acting."

"Your acting skills are very good. There will definitely be more fans who like you. When you come back from abroad, I will tailor a few movies for you and develop towards the big screen. How about it?"

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Gu Zhi took it for granted: "You are good at acting, you can make money for me, but you can't waste it."

Chen Zai gave him a blank look, but also smiled contentedly.

"It's my birthday in two months. Grandpa said to hold a birthday party for me. I'll invite you to it. How about it?"

Gu Zhi lowered his eyebrows and laughed, "I'm so honored to be invited by you personally."

"So, do you want to go?"

Gu Zhi lowered his eyebrows, resting his chin on the top of his head, and said with a light smile, "Of course, it's a great honor."

Chen yawned again.

"Sleepy?"

Chen Zai nodded, and hummed a few times in a weak voice like a kitten, Gu Zhi hugged him tighter, "Go to sleep."

Hearing the heartbeat in Gu Zhi's chest, Chen Zai pursed his lips and smiled with great reassurance, the sound of even breathing came over after a while, Gu Zhi looked at the dark sky outside the car window, with a successful smile across his mouth.

And behind the stone pier, a hundred meters away from Gu Zhi's off-road vehicle, there were also two or three off-road vehicles parked at the same time. The people in the vehicle were all looking at the communication tools in the vehicle with their eyes open, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Today's moon is extraordinarily bright.
