Canary runs with the ball

Meeting an old friend in a foreign country, Li Ruijing still couldn't believe his eyes.

He and Shi Sheng have been pretending to be lovers for more than a year. He has held hands and hugged in public. He even knows the private/private matter of Shi Sheng's red birthmark on his belly, so even at this moment it is unbelievable. , he was also sure that it was Shi Sheng.

Seeing that Li Ruijing pestle hadn't moved for a long time, Lu Hong patted him on the shoulder, "What are you doing?"

Chen Chen followed his gaze and caught a glimpse of the silhouette by the window. He was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly asked, "Shi Sheng?"

Not long after Chen Chen made his debut, Shi Sheng announced that he would retire from the industry for two years. Everyone knew about this incident, and the top management of Nash Entertainment held an emergency meeting. Periodic evaluations, and at the same time ensure that agents and assistants take psychological counseling courses to jointly maintain the physical and mental health of artists.

The high-level request is one thing, but whether it can be implemented correctly is another matter. Just after "Nash Entertainment" gloated at the misfortune of "Star Ring Pictures"'s cash cow fell down, they spent a lot of effort to promote the ancient costumes. The idol male god Jiang Lin is also cold.

Only the executives of Nash Entertainment knew that the results of Jiang Lin's psychological evaluation report at that time were already very scary, with severe anxiety and severe depression, and a serious tendency to self/harm. Even if he could be saved for a while, it would be a hot bomb/bomb , can detonate public opinion at any time.

Lu Hong rubbed his eyes and said, "Isn't it?! How come the whole world is your old friend?"

Li Ruijing: ...

Chen Chen:……? !

Li Ruijing thought for a while and said, "Go shopping, I'll talk to him. I'll go back to the hotel by myself later."

Chen Chen wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Lu Hong.

Chen Chen said: "I don't worry about him being alone."

Lu Hong: "Why are you acting like an old woman? It takes only 5 minutes to walk back from here. Can he still get lost? Leave him alone, let him have fun with the old man, and we will play too."

Chen Chen's expression was a bit subtle, but he refrained from asking about Li Ruijing's personal affairs.

**

Li Ruijing walked into the cafe. When he opened the door, he swayed the wind chime, and there was an ethereal and melodious singing. However, Shi Shengan sat there quietly, unaffected by the outside sounds.

The waiter at the door greeted Li Ruijing enthusiastically, but the local language of the person on the Thayer stele was sometimes like Russian and sometimes like French, and he was confused.

Li Ruijing ordered a cup of cappuccino and a muffin by himself, guessing and gesticulating. He carried the tray and walked in the direction of Shi Sheng.

It's not because of the timidity of being close to the hometown, but the closer he gets, the less he can equate the bony figure in front of him with Shi Sheng.

A star who is famous for his beauty, especially a top star like Shi Sheng, in order to keep his good looks in the camera, in reality he has become exaggeratedly thin.But Shi Sheng has left the spotlight now, and he no longer needs to deliberately maintain his weight. Li Ruijing never thought that he would become like this after not seeing him for more than half a year.

Thayer Monument is a city near the sea, the air humidity is very heavy, and it is winter, Shi Sheng is wrapped in a heavy coat, but the two butterfly bones protruding from his back are clearly visible.

His shoulders were even a little bent, and he didn't see the temperament and brilliance of the big stars in the past.

Li Ruijing felt a little uncomfortable, he cleared his throat, and finally shouted: "Shi Sheng."

The back figure seemed to have been greatly frightened, and the whole person trembled slightly.

Then Shi Sheng hesitated for a long time, then slowly turned his head, and when he saw it was him, he silently let go of his grip on his clothes.

"...Ruijing."

Li Ruijing walked over quickly and sat down opposite him.

All of a sudden, he had a lot to say and a lot to ask.

Shi Sheng closed his circle of friends last month, and Li Ruijing's message was sent as if it had disappeared, and he never received a response.He originally thought that Shi Sheng was just in a bad mood and would contact him when he recovered, but he didn't feel something was wrong until Qin Manli anxiously asked Li Ruijing if he had any news about Shi Sheng.

He couldn't contact Shi Sheng, the other party's phone was turned off, and there was no news on the social network.

When he met again, he watched his good friend spoil himself like this.

Li Ruijing seldom had strong emotions, but the sharp contrast between the big star above the clouds and the weak and timid man in front of him still made him feel unspeakably sour.

He sized him up carefully, and quickly noticed that Shi Sheng's waist was bloated, and the weird bulge there was obviously out of proportion to his thin figure.

Li Ruijing clenched his fist lightly, then slowly released it, and said, "Why didn't you tell us when you went abroad, everyone is very worried about you."

Shi Sheng smiled silently, "...I sent you a message, the signal here is very poor, probably it was not sent."

"then you……"

Li Ruijing's wandering eyes only glanced at his waist, and Shi Sheng pulled his clothes tighter.

"...I'm pregnant." He wrapped his clothes tightly again, and said, "Ruijing, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

Li Ruijing didn't need to ask who the child belonged to, but he knew clearly that Shi Sheng didn't want to tell Chen Zhuo, and he was still avoiding Chen Zhuo with just a few words.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Li Ruijing said, "But you have to tell me why you came here... The medical conditions here are not as good as those in China. I'm really worried about your health. You... "

Shi Sheng folded his hands with well-articulated joints. He seemed to be struggling, but he still opened his mouth.

"Six months ago... I separated from Chen Zhuo." Shi Sheng said, "Actually, there were many problems between us from the very beginning. I knew that after you were injured, I had a serious talk with him, and he promised me that we will do things in the future." He will ask for my consent first for everything, and he will not make his own claim to hurt others for me. When he made the promise, I swore it, and I really believed it. As a result, within three months... what happened to Jiang Lin happened. He Until now, I don’t think there is anything wrong with what I did.”

Shi Sheng frowned and said, "I really...really have no ability to control him..."

Li Ruijing frowned and said, "Then you know...Jiang Lin contributed to your accident, right?"

"I know." Shi Sheng clutched his stomach, as if the child's movement made him very uncomfortable, "I just think...Jiang Lin is not the mastermind behind that incident, or, there is no so-called mastermind behind it, the source is just I don't deserve virtue... No matter how much he did, at most he would just silence me for a few years, but Chen Zhuo, he suppressed Jiang Lin to such an extent that his life has been ruined..."

It doesn't matter whether he is hypocritical or the Virgin.He just thought... why is this so.

Li Ruijing didn't know how to respond for a moment, he held Shi Sheng's icy hand to give some comfort.

Shi Sheng continued, "I told him that we don't agree with each other, we should separate for a while, and calmly think about how to go next. After that, I came to a foreign country, and it didn't take long for me to find out that I was pregnant. I Knowing that once he finds out about this, he will definitely do whatever it takes to get me back."

Li Ruijing thought, it's not surprising that Chen Zhuo's character with such a strong desire to control would do such crazy things.Before that, he had always thought that although Chen Zhuo was paranoid and cold-blooded, he was a person who put Shi Sheng's interests first. At least, he should respect and love Shi Sheng very much.But in Shi Sheng's mouth, the story has become another version. His love has become so sick/morbid that he wants to completely control his lover in his own hands, which is difficult for a normal person to resist.

"Everywhere I go, I only dare to stay for two or three weeks. I don't want to be known by him, and I don't want to bother anymore..." After Shi Sheng finished speaking, he took a light breath, and his waist slumped a bit. , There were layers of sweat on his face.

Li Ruijing hurriedly stood up, he sat by Shi Sheng's side to support him, and carefully put his hand towards the other's swollen abdomen, "What's wrong? Are you feeling bad?"

There was a burst of fetal movement that was not too violent, but Shi Sheng's current state was really bad, and even a slight movement of the fetus could easily trigger his heart palpitations and asthma.

Shi Sheng's health has never been considered good. When he was filming, Li Ruijing visited the set. Sometimes there was a problem with the co-ordination of the crew, which would lead to a period of time when the leading role was too heavy. Shi Sheng couldn't bear the fever after several days of filming. up.The complexion can be covered by makeup, but the spirit depends on acting skills. To put it a bit exaggerated, even the daily and healthy feeling depends on acting.

His physical condition is not suitable for pregnancy at all, so when he was 28 years old, he didn't think about having children.

Li Ruijing said, "Actually, this child..." shouldn't be staying at all.

After a while of pain relief, Shi Sheng smiled softly, "Are you trying to say that you shouldn't want it...I don't know why...by the time you realize it, it has grown up."

Shi Sheng lied, of course he knew why, because this was his and Chen Zhuo's child, and he couldn't bear to get rid of it.

He still loves him very much.But the current situation has prevented him from expressing his love unscrupulously.

Li Ruijing held his hand again, and said, "No matter what, I won't leave you here alone. When the variety show work is over, I will be with you."

Li Ruijing has experienced what it's like to spend a long pregnancy alone with no relatives, so he is really sad to see Shi Sheng like this.

He has such good conditions. At this time, he should be lying in the best hospital waiting for delivery, listening to the doctor's orders every day, eating nutritious meals, and then peacefully looking forward to the birth of a new life.In any case, it is not like now, day and night worrying, exhausted.

Shi Sheng shook his head and said, "There's no need for Ruijing, Ji Xin is with me, and I'll be fine."

Ji Xin is Shi Sheng's personal assistant and has accompanied him almost his entire film and television career.When Shi Sheng arrived in this city, he would come to the cafe every afternoon to sit for a while, and Ji Xin would come to pick him up in the evening.

After thinking for a long time, Li Ruijing said, "I won't tell anyone about you, but I really don't worry about you. ... Then, I will contact Sister Xin in the future, and no matter where you go, tell me , okay?"

Seeing that he was determined, Shi Sheng could only nod his head.

They chatted for a while, and when Li Ruijing saw Shi Sheng's brows were full of tiredness, he decided to send him back in person.As the sky was getting dark, Ji Xin appeared at the door of the cafe on time.

The hotels in the old town of Thayer Monument are scattered widely. This small town is not prosperous, and the tourism industry is not booming. Basically, there are only one or two hotels with good conditions nearby.So it's no surprise that they are in the same hotel as Shi Shengding.

Li Ruijing and Ji Xin sandwiched Shi Sheng in between, chatted and went back.In a foreign country, in a remote town, any celebrity doesn't have to worry about being guarded by domestic entertainment reporters, so the three of them didn't pay too much attention to the outside world.

It was only a flash of alertness, Li Ruijing suddenly turned his head and frowned deeply at a dark corner.Although there was nothing there, it felt like deja vu. When Shi Sheng visited him in the hospital, he was also aroused with a sense of alertness.

Although he is not popular, Paparazzi Radar is much stronger than Shi Sheng, and Li Ruijing can seem to feel it almost whenever there is a disturbance.He subconsciously protected Shi Sheng, who was looking at him ignorantly.

Ji Xin was already urging to go up, and when Shi Sheng needed to take medicine, Li Ruijing said cautiously, "Sister Xin, you will be troubled at night, so go to another hotel."

Ji Xin was puzzled, "But Sheng Sheng..." Shi Sheng's body was not suitable for running around due to the exhaustion of the boat.

Shi Sheng held her arm, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, just listen to him."

**

On the second day of recording the variety show, there were a lot of strange calls from across the ocean. Li Ruijing was at work and basically had no time to fish.His cell phone was on silent, gloriously switched off after a day of constant phone bombardment.

When he returned to the hotel at night, he had just charged his phone when another unfamiliar number was transferred to Li Ruijing's room through the front desk.

"Tell me where Shi Sheng is."

As soon as the commanding tone came out, Li Ruijing guessed who was coming.In the past, Chen Zhuo would only contact him through the middleman, but now he was really desperate and came to bite someone himself.

Li Ruijing asked knowingly, "Who are you? Why should I tell you?"

"Don't let him/mother pretend here, you were with him last night, tell me where he is."

He imagined that Chen Zhuo was furious and full of eyes, and he snorted in his heart.

Li Ruijing said, "So you are begging for help?"

Chen Zhuo was silent for a while, he took a deep breath, and said slowly, "I'm sorry... I'm really worried about Shi Sheng, please tell me where he is, I have to take him home."

"Oh." Li Ruijing grabbed the phone cord and twisted it around his fingertips, "I want to know."

He listened patiently to the other person's breathing that became heavier/heavier due to his eagerness, and suddenly broke out into a smile, "I won't tell you."

Before Chen Zhuo exploded, Li Ruijing quickly unplugged the phone.

The author has something to say: The deputy cp is also a very complicated story. The two have been lingering for 14 years, and the details will be written in the extra episode (so that those who don't want to read it have the right to choose), so I won't write it in detail in the main text.
