Xing Chi received a call from Min Ranfeng the next day.

"I heard you're awake." Min Ranfeng asked. "How about it, is there any discomfort in your body?"

Xing Chi said: "Brother Ranfeng, don't worry, the fever has subsided. How are you doing?"

Min Ranfeng said: "As soon as the search and rescue team's car arrived last night, we followed back. Everyone is fine and not sick."

"That's good." Xing Chi said with a smile.

"Then did the doctor tell you when you can leave the hospital?" Min Ranfeng asked. "If your body allows, I still hope that you can go with us to finish the filming."

Xing Chi quickly said: "Of course it is possible. The doctor said that I will be fine once the fever subsides. I will ask the doctor if I can leave the hospital today."

Min Ranfeng hurriedly stopped him: "You are in good health, you should rest for another day. So, will you join us tomorrow?"

Xing Chi agreed.

After hanging up the phone, the doctor came in and took his temperature again.

His temperature has stabilized since last night.Xing Chi asked the doctor if he could leave the hospital tomorrow, and the doctor agreed without hesitation.

Before leaving, the doctor also asked him for an autograph, saying that he had seen him in the news yesterday doing a brave deed in the mountains.

As soon as the doctor left, Xing Chi was the only one left in the ward.

The network here is not very good, it is still 3G, and the network speed is very slow. Xing Chi flipped through his message list and put the phone aside.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and entered.

As soon as Xing Chi looked up, he saw a strange young man in a suit and leather shoes, with a lunch box in one hand.Seeing Xing Chi, the man smiled at him and said, "Mr. Xing, hello, I'm Mr. Lu's assistant, you can call me Xiao Zhou."

Xing Chi nodded, and Xiao Zhou came over and put the lunch box on his bedside table, and brought him a small table for eating by the way.

"Mr. Lu asked me to bring you meals." Xiao Zhou said, putting the lunch boxes on the table for him, and opened them one by one.

They are all very light dishes, and the table is full.Seeing that Xing Chi didn't ask anything, Xiao Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still told him: "Boss Lu has some business to do, so I'll go back to Haicheng first."

Xing Chi smiled at him and said, "Okay."

He was not surprised at all.

Things about Lu Zhirui have always been more important than him. Even though Lu Zhirui was a little unaccustomed to his sudden departure these days and did something irrational, Xing Chi still believed that Lu Zhirui was still awake.

He won't spend too much time and energy on him, and he doesn't have to think too much about Lu Zhirui's occasional abnormalities.

-

The next day, Xing Chi borrowed Xiao Zhou's car and asked him to take him to Min Ranfeng's side.

Min Ranfeng rushed to the nearest city with the rescue team yesterday, and stayed in the nearby hotel there.This city is not far from their filming location, but if you want to detour and take a safer road, you still have to go a long way.

Xing Chi followed Min Ranfeng and they rested all night, and boarded the film crew's car again the next morning.

As soon as he got in the car, Xing Chi felt something was wrong.

Min Ranfeng sat beside him, turned his head and looked at him helplessly.Xing Chi was puzzled, and the person sitting in the co-pilot turned around.

Lu Zhirui.

Xing Chi was stunned.

"Mr. Lu?"

Lu Zhirui hummed, turned around, and seemed to be talking to Min Ranfeng: "Is everyone here?"

Min Ranfeng smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Lu. Xiao Li, let's drive."

The convoy set off quietly.

Xing Chi glanced at Min Ranfeng with some doubts, and saw that Min Ranfeng beside him also turned his head to look at him.Meeting his gaze, Min Ranfeng glanced at Lu Zhirui who closed his eyes and rested in front of him, tapped the phone in his hand, and motioned him to look at it.

Xing Chi turned on the phone and received a message from Min Ranfeng.

[President Lu's assistant suddenly called yesterday, insisting on investing in our project. 】,

Xing Chi slowly pressed a question mark.

Min Ranfeng laughed, and then clicked on the phone.

【President Lu said that our means of transportation and equipment are too backward. 】

Xing Chi asked him incomprehensibly: [But, aren't we still driving the crew's car? 】

【Boss Lu sent two helicopters to follow. 】

Xing Chi: […]

He glanced at Lu Zhirui a little speechlessly.

Lu Zhirui, who was sitting in the front row, had been running around for a day yesterday, and came back after returning to Haicheng to deal with important business matters. At this moment, he didn't notice Xing Chi's sizing up.

He fell asleep on the passenger side.

Of course, he didn't really want to invest in this public welfare film, even if he did, he wouldn't really need him to come.

He just clearly remembered the sentence that Yu Zhuhang impatiently taught him that night.

"If you really like him, it's the relationship between you and him, not your money and him. No matter how much money you have, it's different from you. You have to accompany him by yourself."

-

Since I was traveling during the day, and it was the one that went farther, but the road conditions were much better, the journey was smooth.At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, they rushed to the small town next to the desert and settled down in that town.

They had some scenes to shoot in the desert at dusk, so Min Ranfeng and the film crew went ahead to shoot.Xing Chi didn't have a camera in such a scene, so Min Ranfeng asked Xing Chi to rest in the town first.

There are many ethnic minorities in this town, and it is rare to even see Han people like Xingchi.The hotel they stayed in was also in a very ethnic minority-style earthen building. Through the arched windows, they could see the bustling market below and the people coming and going.

Xing Chi returned to the room, leaned on the window and looked at it for a while, then wanted to go down for a walk.

This town is very remote, and it is estimated that no one knows him.Xing Chi just put on a peaked cap, turned around and opened the door of the room.

As soon as the door opened, a tall and big man stood at the door, which startled him.

"Mr. Lu?" Xing Chi looked at Lu Zhirui in front of him.

Lu Zhirui didn't wear a coat anymore.He was wearing a thick black down jacket with slacks and sneakers.Xing Chi seldom sees him dressed like this, even the bangs that are always combed behind the head are drooping because there is no pomade. At first glance, he looks a bit like a college student returning home on vacation.

"Do you want to go out?" Lu Zhirui asked him.

Xing Chi nodded: "I want to go out and eat something."

"Then let's go." Lu Zhirui said. "I'm with you."

Xing Chi stood there without moving.Lu Zhirui walked two steps away, turned around, and saw Xing Chi standing there, frowning slightly.

He rarely saw Xing Chi frowning.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Xing Chi paused, and said bluntly: "Mr. Lu, I remember I told you very clearly. I need to be quiet, and you may also need to try..."

"I don't want to try." Lu Zhirui said.

Seeing Xing Chi looking at him, Lu Zhirui paused, and then said: "It's okay if you want to be quiet. If you want to talk to me, you can talk to me. If you don't want to talk to me, you don't have to talk to me."

-

It was a humble sentence, but it made Lu Zhirui speak with confidence.This made Xing Chi even more speechless when he was in a state of confusion.

Lu Zhirui was right next to him, so he wouldn't really stop talking to Lu Zhirui.

Downstairs from them is the bustling market in the town, which looks lively even in the snowy winter.Barbecue and naan stalls were set up at the entrance of the small restaurant, and the hot air was blowing from the stove to the window on the second floor.

The aroma of roasted lamb is mixed with the flavors of chili and cumin, and the warmth is blown to the street by the wind.Xing Chi looked over curiously, feeling that the gluttons in his stomach had been aroused.

Lu Zhirui next to him suddenly asked him, "Want to eat?"

Xing Chi blinked.

Of course I want to eat.But he remembered that Lu Zhirui couldn't eat spicy food, and he didn't like to eat such strong food.

Although he and Lu Zhirui had no relationship for a long time, the habit formed over the past few years seemed to have become an instinct.He took a second look, shook his head, and said in his heart, it's really troublesome for Lu Zhirui to be around.

And Lu Zhirui next to him, because he was busy with nothing and all his attention was on Xing Chi, so it was rare to see something that he had never noticed before.

He clearly wanted to eat, and his eyes were attracted by the stall over there, but when he asked himself, he still shook his head.

That can only be because of myself.

Before, he only thought that Xingchi was obedient and sensible, but he never thought that every time the "sensibility" that made him feel comfortable, it was another person who wronged him in exchange.

Lu Zhirui felt tightness in his chest and felt uncomfortable.

No wonder Yu Zhuhang said that he was lucky and tired.When they go out to eat, he is always the one who arranges the place, and Xing Chi also asks him to order whatever they eat.At that time, he always thought that Xingchi had a similar taste to him. It wasn't until he became Xingchi's cat that he knew what kind of person Xingchi was.

He would sneak around eating junk food and sneaking beer cokes.Even for the biscuits baked for Lu Zhirui, he had to add several times more sugar to his own.

He has been accommodating Lu Zhirui.

This cognition made Lu Zhirui's heart blocked.As if he was competing with himself, he grabbed Xing Chi's wrist and dragged him into the small shop.

There are only five or six tables in the small shop, and most of them are full of people at the moment.As far as the eye could see, they were all ethnic minorities, wearing thick woolen winter coats, sitting around the table, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. On the table were roast mutton and baked naan, as well as large and small dishes.

smells good.

But Xing Chi looked over, and saw cigarette butts and rough tableware and teapots on the ground.He didn't care about these things, but Lu Zhirui was still with him.

He sighed inwardly.Or when he gets rid of Lu Zhirui, come over and try it by himself.

But at this moment, the boss came over enthusiastically with the menu and asked, "Two people?"

Before Xing Chi could speak, Lu Zhirui followed him and sat down at the table, and took the menu from the boss.

"Yes, two people," he said.
