Substitute Shadow God Ascension Project

Yan suddenly became worried and lost his appetite. He pointed to another bun and said to Zhou Yi, "This is for you too."

Zhou Yi was not polite to him, and took it to his side.

Xiang Ran really didn't come all day.I sent him a message and didn't reply, Yan Yan was a little worried.

Upon returning to the hotel at night, Yan Yan called Xiang Ran.The bell rang for a long time, and no one answered it until it died.Called several times in a row but didn't get through.

Now he was a little restless, stood up and paced the room.Press the screen of the mobile phone until it goes dark and press it again, scratching your ears and waiting for the call.

He even thought of going to Zhou Yi to inquire, but when he was getting dressed and ready to go out, his cell phone rang loudly.Seeing that it was the number he had been waiting for, he quickly picked it up, "Hey, Xiang Ran, you haven't called me back. I'm dying of anxiety. Are you okay?"

It was quiet there for a long time, until Yan Yan felt that there was something wrong with her mobile phone, and Xiang Ran's voice came from there.

"Yan Yu... I'm fine, don't worry."

There was endless exhaustion in the voice, which made Yan Yan's heart throb suddenly. "Where are you, I'm going to find you now."

"Okay, I'm at the Central Hospital."

When Yan Yan arrived at the hospital, Xiang Ran was sitting on a chair in the hospital corridor.Looking from a distance, he held his head in his hands, put his elbows on his knees, and looked down at the ground.Xiang Ran, who had always been tall and slender, bent over and shrunk into a ball at this moment, which made his heart ache.

He walked over slowly, knelt down and held Xiang Ran's wrist with one hand, looked at him, and asked him softly, "What's wrong?"

Holding his warm and firm hands, Xiang Ran looked at the familiar face in front of him full of worry, his eyes flickered with concern, his tense nerves suddenly broke, and he held his hand with his backhand, eyes Moist, choked up and said, "My mother's condition has worsened."

From Xiang Ran's intermittent voice, Yan Yan finally understood why Xiang Ran was filming during the day and took part-time jobs non-stop at night.He was originally a happy family of three. His father ran a small company, and his mother stayed at home full-time to take care of their father and son. The family enjoyed themselves happily.Xiang Ran has lived carefree for sixteen years. In his first year of high school, his father failed in business and owed huge debts. Although the family was in trouble, the family was happy together, and Xiang Ran was content. .

But God didn't seem to take care of this family. On a rainy night, the tired father who had worked hard all day was hit and killed by a rich boy drunk driving.The perpetrator bribed the police and promised to Xiang Ran's family that if they did not pursue the case, they would be given a large amount of compensation.This compensation is enough to relieve the urgent need of their huge debts.Xiang Ran's mother accepted.

"I was young and energetic at the time. After learning that my mother accepted the compensation and did not pursue the perpetrators, I made a big fuss and asked him why he didn't avenge my father. She stood there and wept silently. She wanted to hug me and was forced by me. Pushed it away, and then I did a lot of things that made her sad." Xiang Ran spoke slowly, tears kept rolling in his eyes, recalling that gray time, his expression was painful and full of regret.

Yan Yan really couldn't bear to see him in such pain, "Cry if you want to cry, it will feel better if you cry."

"The debts left by my father have not been paid off, and my mother has no special skills. When I heard that decoration makes money, she ran behind the workers. She was not afraid of hardship or tiredness. She bought me delicious food when she made money, but I I don't accept his favor, and I often talk coldly to her. Now every time I think about it, I feel very annoyed. I wish I could go back in time." Xiang Ran lowered his voice as he spoke, and gradually let go of Yan Yan's hand, covering his eyes, as if I don't want anyone to see tears.

Hearing this, Yan Yan's heart clenched into a ball, and it hurt to breathe.He reached out and gently took away the hand covering his eyes, and held it again.Seeing that his eyes were reddish, but there was no trace of tears, it made people feel distressed. "Is aunt okay?"

"Half a year ago, my mother's intermittent cough never got better, and she was reluctant to spend money to see a doctor, so she always took some cold medicine. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, and dragged her to the hospital for an examination, only to find out that she was in the middle stage of lung cancer."

"It'll be fine, everything will be fine. There's me too." Yan Yan murmured comfortingly, holding Xiang Ran tightly with one hand, and hooking his neck with the other, in a squatting posture, Leaning over to touch his forehead.He didn't know how to make Xiang Ran not so sad, he just wanted to get close to him and share his pain.

The warmth is conveyed bit by bit through the skin to the bottom of the heart.It's like being alone in the snow, shivering with cold, lonely and helpless, when a person walks in front of you, hugs yourself, uses his body temperature to keep yourself warm, and murmurs in your ear, "Don't be afraid." , there is me." Xiang Ran leaned over involuntarily, and the two of them were so close that their breaths were intertwined.

Zhou Chao approached the corridor of the hospital, and the scene that caught his eyes was that the person he was in love with was being hugged by a young man, with their foreheads pressed against each other, and they were intimate. Such tenderness ignited the fire in his heart, and his face immediately became extremely ugly.

The assistant Xiao Chen who was standing by the side thought it was not good.When the news of Xiang Ran's mother's serious condition reached Zhou Chao's ears, he volunteered to run errands for the boss.But the boss's reply surprised him.

"Such a worthwhile opportunity, how can I show my sincerity if I don't go there myself!"

Xiao Chen had an intuition in his heart that this project was very special to the boss.

"You two are really interested." Zhou Chao didn't rush to walk over, but stood a little far away, and said loudly.

The moment Xiang Ran saw Zhou Chao, he quickly broke free from Yan Yan's embrace, stood up and frowned at Zhou Chao,

Zhou Chao walked over slowly, seeing him looking at him warily, the fire in his heart was burning hotter and hotter.Just now, he was still looking affectionate, but when he saw himself, his expression immediately changed.He was burning with anger now, he squinted his eyes when he saw clearly the man standing beside him hugging him.

Yan Yan looked at the confrontation between the two of them in a daze, and Zhou Chao looked at him as if he was about to swallow him alive, which made him terrified. The relationship between him and the big devil just eased a little. If there is another big devil, He can't stand it.He hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and greeted him awkwardly, "Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Chao sneered, glanced at Xiang Ran from the corner of his eye, and said slowly, "I'll come..."

"No." Xiang Ran shouted in surprise.

Xiao Chen on the side was terrified, and hurried up to smooth things over, "Oh, Xiang Ran, you don't know good people like this. As soon as Mr. Zhou heard about you, he immediately came to visit and see if there is anything that needs help. place.

"That's it, then let's stop standing there, let's go in and have a look." This weird atmosphere made Yan Yan restless and just wanted to leave.

"Xiang Ran, come here, I have something to ask you." After Zhou Chao finished speaking, without waiting for his reply, he went straight out, as if he was sure that Xiang Ran would follow.

Xiang Ran had no choice but to apologize to Yan Yan and said to wait for me, then walked towards Zhou Chao.

Seeing their backs going away, Yan Yan was puzzled, and turned to ask Xiao Chen who stayed aside, Xiao Chen shrugged at him.

Zhou Chao stood at the end of the corridor, scanning Xiang Ran from bottom to top, and he didn't shy away from his naked eyes, as if he could see the heart through the skin.

Xiang Ran closed his eyes in pain, and then opened them again, his eyes were clear, "Mr. Zhou, please let me go." The voice was neither humble nor overbearing, as if he just answered a very simple question or expressed his attitude.

Zhou Chao chuckled, and pointed to Yan Yan's position, "Because of him?"

Xiang Ran remained silent and only looked at Zhou Chao indifferently.

"What can he bring you? Can he help you pay off your debts? Can he have money to treat your mother?" Zhou Chao snorted, "Okay, you don't need these, you want to rely on yourself, then you can talk about it." How much have you earned since you started earning money? Filming during the day and working part-time at night, is your daily money enough for your mother’s medical expenses for a day?"

Every word in Zhou Chao's words was like a sharp knife piercing Xiang Ran's heart.The shield that pretended to be calm fell apart in an instant, and a look of pain gradually appeared on his face.

"As long as you are with me, I will help you pay off your debts. I will find the best experts at home and abroad to treat your mother's illness. As for you," Zhou Chao gently lifted Xiang Ran's chin, his eyes were dark, The bridge of the nose is high and straight, and the facial features are exquisite. The more you look at it, the more you like it. "I want to make you the brightest star off the stage."

Seeing the pain in his eyes and the desolation and despair in his expression, Zhou Chao should have taken advantage of the momentum to attack.But after all, he couldn't bear to press every step of the way, sighed and said, "I'll give you half a month to think about it. Remember that I want to hear an affirmative answer." Then he leaned into his ear and said slowly: "Otherwise, I will Will not let it go."

After saying this, Zhou Chao left.Xiang Ran stood at the window of the corridor, and downstairs was the small park of the hospital. The little girl in a hospital gown laughed and played hide-and-seek with her father, who nervously told her to run slowly.A couple is sitting in the pavilion, the girl is leaning on the boy's chest sweetly, and the boy is pamperingly stroking her hair.There is also an old man in a wheelchair, talking to the children next to him from time to time.A scene full of laughter and laughter. Although they are more or less sick in the hospital, everyone is living positively and optimistically.

Xiang Ran looked at it for a while, feeling so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

Seeing that Xiang Ran didn't come back, Yan Yan looked for it, and found his back at the window near the corridor.He stood there motionless, making it hard for Yan Yan to see clearly, as if he would disappear without a trace in the next second.

"Xiang Ran, are you okay? What did Zhou Chao ask of you just now?"
