Zero-sum game

Zhou Xingchuan glanced at the clock on the wall, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and the sky outside would soon be bright.

After only a few seconds, Shen Yan raised his head and said: "There should be some breakfast outside, I'll go out and buy you something to eat."

His hand was gently held by Zhou Xingchuan, "I'm not hungry, you can stay with me for a while."

There are bound to be a lot of things that he needs to deal with today, the media interviews that need to be faced, the shooting and activities that need to be postponed, there may only be a short time before dawn at this moment, and it belongs to only the two of them.

Shen Yan stood there hesitating for a moment, then sat down.

This is a single ward, which already belongs to the best treatment in the inpatient department of the town hospital, but there are still yellowed bed curtains and mottled bedside tables, and even the wooden chair Shen Yan is sitting on looks a bit It's getting old and it's not comfortable to sit on.

He must have been waiting for me all night here.As soon as Zhou Xingchuan had this thought in his heart, he felt a warm heartfelt feeling.

"My eyes are a little tired." Shen Yan said, closing his eyes and leaning against the edge of the bed with his head down and the back of his hands.

The long-term regular work and rest in Xiaohe Village made him not try to stay up late for a long time. After staying up all night until the second half of the night, the sleepiness has disappeared, but his eyes feel very dry.

Zhou Xingchuan lightly touched Shen Yan's slightly long hair because he didn't have time to cut it, and the soft hair ran through his fingers, "Did you wait for me here on purpose yesterday?"

"Hmm." Came a low voice in reply.

"..." Zhou Xingchuan didn't speak.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

If it wasn't for being unable to sit up from the bed, he just wanted to hold Shen Yan in his arms at this moment.

Maybe God let me save my life to meet you, because he knows you are waiting for me here.Zhou Xingchuan thought.

Shen Yan closed his eyes and grabbed his hand that was messing with his hair, "Don't move around, be careful of your injuries."

Zhou Xingchuan found that Shen Yan's hands were actually a bit cold in this ambush season, "Is the air conditioner turned on too low? Your hands are so cold."

"It's not cold, talk less and have a good rest." Shen Yan held his hand and stuffed it under the quilt, saying without doubt.

"Then I'll help you warm up." Zhou Xingchuan said, not letting the other party's hand leave the quilt.

He lightly rubbed the knuckles of Shen Yan's right hand, because he had been holding a pen for a long time to write, his usual fingers had calluses.

"How did you think of waiting for me here in advance?" Zhou Xingchuan asked.

"..." Shen Yan tilted his head, but his eyes still did not open, "I want to surprise you."

"The result is that I gave you a fright." Zhou Xingchuan said helplessly.

"The road in Xiaohe Village has always been like that. It will collapse every year when it rains a lot. If I knew it earlier, I should have reminded you."

"Have you hit someone before?"

"Well, but...but..."

Zhou Xingchuan didn't hear Shen Yan's reply for a long time, only to realize that he had fallen asleep.

Zhou Xingchuan barely reached out to reach his coat which was on the side, and covered Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was woken up by the voices outside. When he woke up, it was already broad daylight, and there seemed to be some local media outside who were covering the landslide accident.

And this time, by coincidence, the two cars hit had celebrities inside, which made the accident in this small ravine that would soon be forgotten a little hotter.

Mo Rui's loud voice came from outside, "Zhou Xingchuan is currently injured and resting and will not be interviewed... Hey, don't go in, Wan Yafei over there is too! Our company's studio will issue statements and notices later, not now. Don't squeeze in during the interview!... His injury is not serious, it is a minor injury. We are coordinating the filming work, so it won't have much impact..."

Zhou Xingchuan was leaning on the bed and watching the news on his mobile phone. Seeing that Shen Yan had woken up, "Don't go out yet, wait until Mo Rui sends the interviewers away."

Shen Yan nodded, rubbed his eyes, then stood up and went to the bathroom to wash up briefly.

When I came out, I heard a female doctor's serious voice outside, "What place do you think this is?! There are so many patients who need to rest, how can they rest after such arguing?!..."

Soon the voices outside gradually became quieter. I don't know if they were sent outside or sent back.

Then Shen Yan saw the female doctor who spoke just now. She looked quite young, with a low ponytail and black-rimmed glasses. She came in and asked a few words about Zhou Xingchuan's situation, and said, "In your case, we It is recommended to go home to recuperate and be discharged in the afternoon."

Zhou Xingchuan himself didn't expect it to be so fast, "Don't you need to observe more?"

The female doctor closed the notebook, "If it weren't for your influence, single wards would not have been arranged for you, and there are still so many elders and mothers with cardiovascular diseases who want to live there. It's a minor injury, so hurry home."

After speaking, he explained again to go through the discharge procedures, and went out directly, and then Mo Rui walked in.She looked much better, but there were some bruises on her arms, and she just had a look with Shen Yan when she came in.

"Mr. Shen, he has me by his side, so go and do your work first." Mo Rui said.

Seeing Shen Yan nodding, Zhou Xingchuan realized that they must have exchanged something before he knew it.

Shen Yan glanced at the time, it was already close to ten o'clock in the morning, "...you have a good rest, I have to go to the town middle school for training."

"Eh..." Zhou Xingchuan wanted to say something more, but Shen Yan had already walked out.

Mo Rui put the lunch in her hand on the bedside table, poured cold water on it and said, "Stop screaming, Mr. Shen will be much busier than you in the next week."

"Work has been delayed for a week?" Zhou Xingchuan asked.

"The most recent commercial is next Monday, and it can be eased after a few days. There is no way for the drama. The two leading actors are all on the ground at once. Your drama can't stop."

"How is Wan Yafei injured?"

"One of his hands is broken, and he won't recover in ten days and a half months," Mo Rui said. "The drama crew is already adjusting the schedule. Put your show in the next season. The director has gone to the Great Buddha Temple to burn incense, saying that the crew Ominous."

"Guan Jili is unlucky. People in the entertainment industry are superstitious." After Zhou Xingchuan finished speaking, he was about to pick up the bowl and take a sip of soup when the phone next to him vibrated.

He glanced at the caller ID and reached out to pick it up. Mother Zhou's voice came over there immediately, she said a lot of worried words, and said that she would come to see him soon.

Zhou Xingchuan hurriedly stopped him. The traffic in the mountains of Changzhou was inconvenient, and it was tiring to make his mother travel long distances, not to mention that he was not seriously injured.

He repeatedly assured that he was really not seriously injured, and Zhou's mother gave up the idea of ​​coming to see him.

"...Your father is also worried about you, I can see that." Mother Zhou said.

The relationship between Zhou Xingchuan and his father has not been good or bad in the past few years. There is no communication between the two father and son, they are almost like strangers.Zhou Xingchuan works outside all year round, and occasionally goes home, and his father rarely talks to him, and there is a subtle cold war between them.

"I know," Zhou Xingchuan said, "You also pay attention to your body."

After hanging up the phone, he was in a low mood. Mo Rui had already eaten something in a hurry, found out his certificate, and was going to get him out of the hospital.

"By the way, I subsidized the driver with 2 yuan in your name. He has a wife and children at home, and he was the most seriously injured. It's very pitiful. He has been doing a good job before." Rui stood at the door and said.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to you later." Zhou Xingchuan said, he felt more at ease when Mo Rui was handling things.

Mo Rui nodded, she had already gone out, but she turned her head back and said: "There are so many people taking pictures of you and Wan Yafei, you and Mr. Shen must be more careful outside, you know?"

"..." Zhou Xingchuan didn't answer, but asked, "What will be the arrangement after being discharged from the hospital?"

"If you are like this, you can't take a car or a plane. I booked a hotel in the town. You can rest here for a week before talking."

"Shen Yan also lives in the town, so I will live wherever he lives." Zhou Xingchuan said.

Mo Rui rolled her eyes, "I knew you would say that, it was the house where Mr. Shen lived."
