Cheap Lover 【Entertainment】

After dinner, Zhou Ziche accompanied Jiang Gu to the stairs, habitually trying to reach out to help him, but Jiang Gu grabbed the handrail of the stairs before him and stood up slowly.

"Ache, just watch me from the side, I'll try it myself first."

Seeing that although he got up slowly, Zhou Ziche was standing still, without looking forced, so he nodded and took a half step back to the side.

"Okay, be careful yourself."

Zhou Ziche passed by some rehabilitation hospitals before and saw patients undergoing rehabilitation.

He himself was injured when he was filming a filming scene with the crew. He had a fracture and had a plaster cast, and he had to do rehabilitation after the bandage was removed.

It seems that it is just walking a few steps normally, but for the patient, it may take a lot of physical strength and endure a lot of pain to take a small step.

Zhou Ziche looked at the man beside him with his sharp and smooth jaw line tightened, the veins in his hand gripping the handrail of the stairs bulging, and he finally slowly raised one foot and stepped on the stairs.

Jiang Gu repeated this action almost expressionlessly.

Zhou Ziche stood downstairs, raised his face slightly, and watched people stepping on the second and third steps, always suspecting that the other person would stop in the next second, but he waited until he was almost halfway through the stairs, Jiang Gudu There is no intention of resting at all.

"Jiang Gu..." He couldn't help but say, "Do you want to take a break?"

Although Jiang Gu's muscle atrophy is relatively mild, for example, after less than half a day of exercise, he can go from having difficulty using his fingers to lifting a bowl of soup and picking up vegetables with chopsticks.

However, Jiang Gu had been in a wheelchair for a period of time before he was in a coma in a car accident, and his legs hadn't moved for almost three and a half months. Of course, it will be more difficult to recover.

"No need." Jiang Gu turned to look at him, smiled consolingly, his eyes darkened, "I'll go upstairs and rest."

The voice is slightly hoarse.

Zhou Ziche hurried up the stairs anxiously and walked to his side.

"Why don't we invite a professional to come, I always feel like you are... a bit too much?"

"It's nothing excessive. I want to return to the way it was before you go to work on the set. Don't worry, Che, I know it."

For two full hours, Zhou Ziche stood in the middle of the stairs, watching Jiang Gu go up and down repeatedly.

From the back, he could almost see the beads of sweat dripping from the tip of Jiang Gu's hair on the hem of his clothes, making the dark fabric even thicker.

The man remained expressionless, but the curvature of his thin lips became sharper, and beads of sweat outlined the contours of his cheeks, adding a bit of cold white glaze under the light.

It seemed that the one who was so tired was not himself at all.

Zhou Ziche sighed softly in his heart.

Many people in the circle said that Jiang Gu was ruthless and decisive when dealing with official affairs, he was always ruthless to his opponents, and did not show any kindness.

It may be that he was abandoned by his father when he was a child, and was used by his mother as a tool to make money. His stepmother and stepbrother regarded him like a jackal. Jiang Gu never had the warm childhood that a child should have for a few days.

So even though he has achieved success and fame now, no matter how gentle his expression is when facing others, and his manner is elegant and gentle, he is still a person who is cruel enough to others and himself.

"Ache, Ache?"

Zhou Ziche came back to his senses and saw Jiang Gu walking half of the steps, standing next to him with his back straight, leaning lightly on the handrail, holding a half glass of water in his hand.

Probably because the way he was distracted just now was a little funny, the upward arc of Jiang Gu's lips enlarged a little, and the calm eyes just now seemed to melt the ice on the sea surface, and gradually appeared soft ripples.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing... just suddenly thought of something about your childhood."

Jiang Gu took a sip of water, rolled his abrupt Adam's apple, stared at him and said softly.

"Actually, sometimes I also think about what would happen to me if I wasn't born in Jiang's family, or if I wasn't an illegitimate child, or even if my biological mother was a responsible person."

Zhou Ziche pondered for a while: "I don't think you should be a businessman in that case."

Jiang Gu smiled suddenly: "Really?"

"Well—wait a minute, I'll get you a towel to wipe off your sweat."

Zhou Ziche went upstairs to the bathroom and wet a towel with warm water.

On the way back, I still wondered what kind of industry Jiang Gu would be engaged in if that was the case.

With his strong and rational personality, apart from doing some literary and artistic creation work, he can probably do well no matter what line of work he is engaged in.

He returned to Jiang Gu's side and handed over the towel.

"Have you ever thought about what you would prefer to do if you didn't want to inherit the family business or rob your stepmother of the family property?"

Jiang Gu raised his eyebrows lightly, instead of reaching out to take the towel, he lowered his head and leaned slightly to pull into the distance with him, obviously implying that he should wipe his sweat.

"I don't need to inherit the family business...then I'll be a little assistant, or I can work as a cameraman or editor on the set, so that I can see you every day on the set."

"I'm serious, don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Ziche curled his lips helplessly, raised his hand with a towel and gently wiped away the sweat from Jiang Gu's forehead and temples.

"I'm serious, no nonsense."

Jiang Gu suddenly turned his face to the side, and his eyes became warmer.

The distance between them was very close, and with Jiang Gu's movement, Zhou Ziche could almost feel the other party's breath spraying on the skin of his neck, causing a small shudder.

"...When I was not married to yours, I spent almost all of my life in the company's office. I didn't want to go home, and I didn't want to see anyone other than my working relationship."

"After I got married to you, I don't know when... One night I finished dealing with all the things that day, and suddenly thought that someone was waiting for me at home, and I should go home and have a look."

"In the past, I used to call it a habit to think of you inadvertently, but now... I think it should be liking. Because when Xu Yi was in Beijing, I never thought of going to see him."

As soon as Zhou Ziche's expression was slightly moved, he was amused by his last words.

"The example you gave..."

"So I think, if I can choose my origin again, I still hope that the person I marry is you. Since this is the case-why don't I do work related to you? Anyway, I think I have a strong learning ability. A photographer shouldn't be a problem."

The low voice stopped, and Zhou Ziche's back was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Jiang Gu's voice is particularly magnetic at night, especially when talking to him so close... It's like a vampire is killing its prey.

Zhou Ziche couldn't help but took a small step back.

But he forgot that he was on the stairs now, and when he stepped on the ground, his body fell backwards.

"What's wrong? Think I'm not good at being a photographer?"

The whole person was firmly pulled into his arms, Zhou Ziche froze for a moment, his tense body relaxed little by little.

"No... I'm just thinking, or I'll let you try tomorrow and take two pictures of me, just to post a selfie on Weibo."
