"..."
Accompanied by Nan Jia's statement through gritted teeth, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Shi Zhou looked at Nanjia in front of him, and countless questions came from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
He only knew that what Nanjia said was not wrong——
Shi Zhou is the only son of his adoptive parents. He has been outstanding since he was a child, and he is also proficient in everything he likes like Sheng Yanwen.
But Shi Zhou likes music and the stage the most. At the age of 17, he fulfilled his wish to become an undebuted signed artist of a brokerage company.
Two years later, the company held cruise team building for its undebuted artists.
But no one expected that the 19-year-old Shi Zhou accidentally fell into the sea. Even though the rescue team searched for half a month, there was still no news at all.
Shi and his wife, who have always regarded time and day as treasures, were in great pain. Shizhou's adoptive mother was sick for several months, and she was almost insane when she saw things and thought about others.
Later, Shi Zhou's adoptive father, Shi Renqing, took his obsessed wife to the seaside, and unexpectedly ran into Shi Zhou in the orphanage.
From that moment on, Shi Zhou had adoptive parents.
The Shi couple treated Shi Zhou too well, and the adoptive mother was as gentle to him as the biological mother in Shi Zhou's memory.
Basic necessities of life, food, shelter, transportation, everything, as if to make up for everything he lost in childhood.
Shi Zhou thought it was the beginning of a happy life, until one time, he was insomniac late at night and accidentally witnessed the quarrel between his adoptive parents——
The adoptive father, who had always been gentle, smoked a cigarette with a numb expression, while the adoptive mother, who had always been gentle, was hysterical.
Shi Zhou finally fully understands that the adoptive mother misses her own son through him.To put it mildly, he is an adopted son, to put it cruelly, he is a stand-in.
Shi Zhou can play the piano, so Shi Zhou has to learn;
Shi Zhou will be allergic to seafood, so Shi Zhou can't touch it no matter how he likes it;
Shi Zhou's favorite dressing style, so Shi Zhou must follow suit;
Shi Zhou fell into the sea and died without a trace, so Shi Zhou couldn't get close to the swimming pool, the river and the sea, let alone 'swimming'.
Not only that, but the adoptive mother also hated everything in the entertainment industry. Even when Shi Zhou returned to China to make his debut in filming, he had to be trembling and tried every means to hide it from her.
Maybe others can't understand why Shi Zhou chose to quit the circle when his career was on the rise, but Shi Zhou is very clear about his choice two years ago——
As an adoptive father, Shi Renqing gave him real love on the way of growth.
The other party was sensible and sensible, he didn't treat Shi Zhou as anyone's substitute, but treated Shi Zhou as his own son.
Over the years, Shi Renqing tried his best to block the paranoia of his traumatized wife in his own way, and also helped his adopted son Shi Zhou create more space for him.
The adoptive mother's kindness to him in nurturing him may be mixed with other factors, but this cannot be the reason for Shi Zhou to be "unfilial and disregarded" to his adoptive father.
"—tick!"
A drop of water accumulated from the faucet and hit the wall of the pool overwhelmed.
The sound became the only sharp weapon to break the silence, Shi Zhou forced himself to break away from the unbearable memories of growing up, and looked directly at Nan Jia in front of him.
He took a deep breath, "So, why on earth did you know this? How old were you then?"
Nan Jia caught a clue from Shi Zhou's expression, and guessed, "It seems that you don't know much?"
"As for why I know?" Nanjia repeated the question, revealing the cruel truth, "Because the people who fell into the sea and disappeared were not only time and day, but also—"
"My sister."
Nanjia's older sister, Nanyao, was also one of the undebuted artists who participated in the team building of the cruise ship.
Shi Zhou frowned fiercely, unable to speak after being hit by the sudden news, "What?"
Nanjia finally let go of her cool pretense and told her past, "My parents divorced when I was very young, I followed my dad, and my sister followed my mother."
But soon, Nan's father and his cheating partner formed a new family, and left Nanjia at his grandparents' house.
That year, Nanjia was less than six years old.
Nanjia let out a bitter smile, "My father cheated on me when my mother was pregnant with me. She has always blamed me for the unsatisfactory marriage, so she doesn't want to see me after the divorce..."
"My sister and I are eight or nine years apart. Every weekend, when my mother goes to work, she would quietly go to my grandparents' house to find me."
The pocket money I saved was spent for Nanjia, and I bought candy every time to coax Nanjia, and later I even taught Nanjia as a teacher with an electronic organ on my shoulders.
Shi Zhou listened to Nan Jia's memories silently, and it was not difficult to imagine the weight of this sister in the other party's heart.
"Before my sister was going to participate in the company's team building, I kept crying and yelling not to let her go." Nan Jia clenched her hands into fists unconsciously. "Now that I think about it, it's probably a child's intuition."
Shi Zhou hesitated to speak, "Then her..."
Nan Jia understood what he meant, and the pain in his eyes filled again, "Just like Brother Shi Zhou, I never found it again."
Shi Zhou heard his changed address, "So, you and my brother know... because of your sister?"
With such honesty, Nanjia no longer needs to hide.
"Well, the two of them have a good relationship, and they took me to the amusement park together. Brother Shi Zhou is very good-looking and has a gentle personality. When I first met him, I really hoped that he could become my real brother."
At that time, Nanjia was still greedy for Nanyao to ask for candy, and Shi Zhou still tried to coax him with the phrase 'you can't become a singer if you eat candy'.
As Nanjia was talking, she remembered the news she learned that day after school——
Nan Yao and Shi Zhou both fell into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
For Nan Jia, who was only ten years old, this was undoubtedly more desperate than the sky falling.
"..."
Shi Zhou saw clearly Nan Jia's pain that could not be relieved, and didn't know how to comfort him.
He didn't know all about it in the past, but now that he learned about it from the other party, he felt something was wrong in his heart.
Under what sudden circumstances can the two fall into the sea?
Since it's team building, what about the others?It's impossible that there are no rescue ships and people who can swim on the whole cruise ship, right?
Before Shi Zhou could come up with a reason, Nan Jia continued to speak, "I was not sure before participating in "No Game No Life", but after I saw you playing the piano on stage, I found out that you and Brother Shi Zhou They look very similar."
"..."
When Shi Zhou heard the word 'similar', his face became slightly stiff.
No wonder, Nan Jia showed closeness to him from the first recording, and even said familiar words in the elevator.
Nan Jia was still stuck in her own emotions, and failed to detect what was wrong with Shi Zhou in time.He remembered something again, so he simply took advantage of this and said, "Shi Zhou, you are only six or seven years apart?"
"But when I asked Brother Zhou back then, he clearly said that he was the only child in his family, and he didn't have a real brother?"
A simple question implies the answer of Shi Zhou's real life experience.
"..."
Shi Zhou opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to lie and perfunctory the other party's inquiry. He only felt a kind of uneasiness deep in his heart.
Suddenly, an all-too-familiar deep voice came from behind, "Zhou Zhou."
Shi Zhou hurriedly turned around, and when he met Shang Sheng Yanwen's gaze, his heartstrings suddenly tightened, and he felt uneasy that he had never felt before.
"Yan, Yanwen, why are you here?"
Sheng Yanwen caught Shizhou's panic that he was trying to hide, and took two steps closer to him, only to find that Nanjia was standing beside the sink.
"I finished filming, Hanhan said you went to the bathroom and never came back."
Sheng Yanwen sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and looked back and forth between Shi Zhou and Nan Jia with implied scrutiny, "What are you standing here talking about?"
"No, it's nothing." Shi Zhou denied, casting a dark look at Nan Jia.
The latter accepted his gaze, and was unwilling to show his pain and hatred in front of Sheng Yanwen, "It's nothing, it's just that I was hiding in the toilet smoking and was caught by Shi Zhou, and I just asked him to help keep it secret as a joke."
After finishing speaking, he suppressed all the past and inquiries and left, leaving space for the couple.
Sheng Yanwen looked at Nan Jia's back, and naturally didn't believe the clumsy excuses made up by the other party.
Since it was for the sake of his own image that Shi Zhou was asked to keep his smoking a secret, why did he tell him, an outsider, bluntly now?
Sheng Yanwen turned his attention back to Shi Zhou's face, and asked, "Zhou Zhou, what were you talking about just now?"
"It's just about smoking, nothing else." Shi Zhou concealed it.
Whether it was the status of an 'orphan', or the years he was treated as a 'stand-in' by his adoptive mother, these are scars that he does not want to reveal to the outside world.
Compared with the rumors about his childhood being rich and his parents are loving and outstanding, Shi Zhou only felt that his past was as vulnerable as a joke.
If you care too much, it will extend the lock of inferiority complex.
In the past, he was unwilling to make it public because of his ridiculous inferiority complex, but now, he is even more reluctant to let Sheng Yanwen know all this.
Sheng Yanwen pursed his lips, "Shizhou, do you know that you have no talent for lying in front of me?"
"..."
Shi Zhou still chose to escape, "What did I lie to you for? Is it my turn to start shooting solo videos in the studio? Then I'll go there first."
Sheng Yanwen did not continue to press, "Well, let's go."
Shi Zhou nodded and took a few steps outside, and realized that Sheng Yanwen did not follow him, "Aren't you going?"
Sheng Yanwen was still standing at the door of the bathroom, and the skylight on the side of the corridor scattered a piece of light, which coincidentally fell on him.
Shi Zhou saw the slight ups and downs in the air, but it was difficult to distinguish Sheng Yanwen's eyes at the moment, "Yanwen?"
Sheng Yanwen looked at him, "It's okay, you go there first, I'll go to the bathroom."
As soon as the words fell, Hanhan also ran over, "Brother Zhou, it's time for you to shoot, we have to hurry up and get some makeup done."
There was still a large group of staff waiting in the shed. Shi Zhou was not in the character of letting go of his burden, so he had no choice but to say to Sheng Yanwen, "Then I'll go there first?"
"Ah."
Sheng Yanwen watched Shi Zhou's back disappear around the corner, and the arc of the corner of his mouth completely dropped.He quickly approached the sink, and rinsed his hands vigorously with cold water, trying to calm down the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.
Sheng Yanwen looked up at himself in the mirror, feeling a sense of loss for no reason——
From the beginning to the end, he didn't like the state of being 'deceived'.
Whenever faced with Shi Zhou's evasion, Sheng Yanwen only felt powerless and painful.
Just like just now.
Obviously he and Shi Zhou were the couple in name, but turned out to be outsiders in front of Nan Jia?
Sheng Yanwen really wanted to let his desire for control go and force Shi Zhou to submit obediently, but he was afraid that he would scare the other party by mistake, and he really couldn't bear to push away the person who came back after thinking about it for two years.
The footsteps sounded gradually.
A staff member came in, and he saw that he was washing his hands and was fascinated by the rumors, so he greeted politely and carefully, "Teacher Sheng?"
Hearing the words, he came back to his senses, restraining the true emotions in his eyes.
He took out a tissue and wiped his hands, turned around and nodded politely to the staff before walking towards the studio.
...
Shi Zhou's solo shoot also went smoothly, and it was only after five o'clock when he returned to the lounge to take off his makeup.
While swiping his phone, Hanhan asked casually, "Brother Wen, your birthday is only five days away, and some fans on Weibo have already warmed up the topic for you."
"Birthday?" Shi Zhou responded, "Next Wednesday?"
The publicity staff of Sheng Yanwen's team answered, "The company originally planned to arrange a birthday meeting for fans, but Brother Wen was not happy, so he refused without thinking."
As the person concerned, Sheng Yanwen dealt with it casually, "It's just a birthday, there is nothing easy about an ordinary day."
"Brother Wen, that's not what you said. This is your last birthday at the beginning of the word. In the past..."
Hanhan glanced at Shizhou next to him, and suddenly reacted and laughed, "That's right! Brother Zhou is back this year. Are you two going to live alone?"
As soon as the second half of the sentence was uttered, the staff next to him all showed knowing smiles.
Shi Zhou smiled subconsciously, and when he looked at Sheng Yanwen, he happened to catch a glimpse of Di An who came back on high heels.
Dean knocked on the door and signaled, "I reserved a box in advance, and when the work is over here, the big guys go to get together? By the way, celebrate your brother Zhou's first endorsement success."
Upon hearing this, the staff including Hanhan responded enthusiastically.
Shi Zhou curled his lips, and was just about to answer when he heard Sheng Yanwen next to him say, "You guys go, I'm really tired today, I want to go back and rest first."
"..."
Shi Zhou's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he said worriedly, "Didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Sheng Yanwen glanced at him, and replied quietly, "Don't worry, you can celebrate with them, I will drive home first, and let the driver take you back at night."
What Shi Zhou wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and he finally decided, "No, Sister An will take them there. After filming for a long time, I also want to rest early."
...
An hour later, the electronic door opened.
Sheng Yanwen looked at Shizhou who was going home with him, "Actually, you can follow them to the private room for dinner. I came back early to pack my things."
Shi Zhou was stunned, "Pack up your things?"
Sheng Yanwen replied truthfully, "Well, some time ago, I received a short film for public welfare directed by Wei An. I will go to other provinces to shoot for about three days, and I have to leave tomorrow."
Shi Zhou counted the days, "Can you come back on your birthday?"
Sheng Yanwen was silent for a moment.
Originally, he had calculated the time for the announcement, and he really wanted to rush back to celebrate Shizhou's birthday, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to impose his expectations on others.
"It depends on the situation. If Wednesday is too late, come back on Thursday." Sheng Yanwen changed his mind, but he did not forget to put the slippers by Shizhou's feet.
He looked around the living room, and continued to ask, "If you feel bored by yourself these few days and want them to come back to accompany you, I will ask Yue Ze to help bring them back."
I was rushing to shoot the announcement today, but the two dogs were still in the Shengjia Manor and I didn’t bring them back
"..."
Shi Zhou didn't answer, but just followed Sheng Yanwen back to the room.
Sheng Yanwen simply packed up two sets of clothes for a change of clothes, and said in an inexplicable and distant tone, "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I'll disturb you, so I'm going to sleep in the next bedroom tonight."
Shi Zhou frowned slightly, and walked forward, "Sheng Yanwen, you..."
Sheng Yanwen didn't seem to see his emotions, and asked after packing up his clothes, "Shall I make you something to eat? Go to bed early after eating."
Shi Zhou shook his head, "No need, if you are tired, go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Sheng Yanwen paused for two seconds, his words were a little heavy, "Okay."
With that said, he left the room with his light luggage.
- pat.
The sound of the door closing shook my heart.
Shi Zhou unconsciously took a few quick breaths, and he was surrounded by a sense of loss that he had never felt before.
From time travel to now, he is used to Sheng Yanwen's active care, and adapted to the other party's unique tenderness, but he has never seen that attitude just now.
It is clear that the concern in words and deeds is still there, but it is with a cold attitude that makes it difficult for him to approach.
"..."
Shi Zhou completely lost his appetite to eat, so he had to take a hot shower first.
It's a pity that he couldn't suppress his messy thoughts, his mind was full of images of getting along with Sheng Yanwen.
It is said that people are most afraid of the sudden change of the things they are used to, and the sudden loss of the things they have.
Lying on the bed, Shi Zhou tossed and couldn't sleep, and couldn't even imagine the days after parting ways with Sheng Yanwen.
As time passed by, Shi Zhou finally couldn't control the impulse in his heart, and came to the next room lightly.
- Click.
Under the control of the doorknob with extreme strength, there was only a slight inaudible movement. The guest bedroom was in darkness, and Sheng Yanwen's figure could be vaguely seen.
The other party lay motionless on the bed, as if he was really tired and fell asleep.
Shi Zhou walked in like a thief, approached the bed and looked at Sheng Yanwen's sleeping face, and yelled twice, "Yanwen? Sheng Yanwen?"
Sheng Yanwen, who deliberately pretended to be sleeping, still couldn't pretend anymore.
He raised his hand and caught Shi Zhou squarely, the accumulated depression in his heart became more intense after seeing him stepping on the ground with bare feet.
Sheng Yanwen gritted his teeth, "What are you doing sneaking here in the middle of the night? It's autumn and you're not afraid of catching cold?"
When Shi Zhou heard his tone of voice, he felt aggrieved and complicated for a moment, "I can't sleep alone."
Sheng Yanwen pretended to be indifferent, "So?"
When Shi Zhou heard this, his emotions became more intense all night.He threw off the quilt like a broken can, and burrowed directly into Sheng Yanwen's arms.
"..."
Shi Zhou originally had a relatively cold physique, but now he suddenly slipped into the bed as if throwing himself into his arms, and was taken aback by the words of his body heat.
Shi Zhou muttered, "Don't be angry, can you?"
"Who said I was angry?"
Sheng Yanwen hardened his heart and refused to admit it, and still pulled the quilt with both hands to cover Shi Zhou, "Before you said that the two of you could not sleep in the same bed, but now you are allowed to sleep alone, is it dishonest in the middle of the night? "
Sensing Sheng Yanwen's turning attitude, Shi Zhou moaned softly, "Don't deny it, you're just angry, that's why you've been giving me cold looks tonight."
Sheng Yanwen laughed when he heard it, "I handed you slippers when I entered the door, and I planned to cook for you after packing up. Is this a cold face for you? Where did you come from without a heart?"
Shi Zhou tentatively hooked Sheng Yanwen's little finger, subdued and then poked at the core, "Yanwen, you are different from Nanjia, really."
How can Sheng Yanwen not feel the small movements of the person in his arms?The depression accumulated in his heart was easily disintegrated, and he deliberately asked, "It's different? What's different?"
"Nanjia only exists as a friend at most, but you are not." Shi Zhou took a light breath, and secretly rubbed the ring on Sheng Yanwen's ring finger with his fingertips.
"Whether I have amnesia or not, it is impossible for me to wear rings and sleep with other people casually, and it is impossible to let them do that kind of hooliganism."
Sheng Yanwen held his rebellious hand, and gave a vague smile, "I talk about hooligans all day long, what did I do? Kiss you through the palm of your hand? Kiss the birthmark? Or bully Xiaozhou through the clothes precious?"
Shi Zhou's face became hotter the more he listened, "Stop talking."
"Didn't you bring it up first?" Sheng Yan heard that he turned his back on customers, and leaned closer to Shi Zhou to ask, "I won't do things you don't want to do, and I won't force things you don't answer."
"Yes, you have lost your memory and can't remember anything. But to me, you are my lover."
"Shizhou, while you are clinging to me, you don't give me a good time? Who can fish like you?" Sheng Yan was so angry that he bit the earlobe of the person in his arms with his teeth, but he was reluctant to really hurt him.
Shi Zhou raised his head slightly to avoid Sheng Yanwen's smacking of lips and teeth, and asked tremblingly, "Yanwen, can you come back on your birthday?"
Sheng Yanwen breathed heavily, "What are you rushing back for? My birthday wish, can you help me realize it?"
Shi Zhou looked straight into his eyes, softly but firmly, "... yes."
Sheng Yanwen chuckled and asked persistently, "Do you know what I want?"
"know."
Shi Zhou knew that any relationship should not be a one-sided contribution, and he also knew that he had already been trapped in this relationship and could not extricate himself.
Since it is destined to be impossible to hide, it is better to respond sincerely.
Shi Zhou's eyes fell on Sheng Yanwen's Adam's apple mole, watching it move and undulate slightly in the night, he was attracted uncontrollably by making up his mind, "Sheng Yanwen."
"Ok?"
"When it's your birthday, I'll give you a happy one."
Shi Zhou leaned closer to Sheng Yanwen's Adam's apple, and gently pressed his cool lips against the sexy Adam's apple, "I want to celebrate your birthday and make up for what I missed before."
Sheng Yanwen's breathing suddenly became rough, and while his Adam's apple was rising and falling, he clenched Shi Zhou's hand even more tightly, refusing to back down.
They were all men, so Shi Zhou naturally noticed the change in Sheng Yanwen.
It's just that this time, as the one who took the initiative to tease him, he didn't have the slightest bit of shame. Instead, he deliberately provoked him, "Are you going to get up early tomorrow?"
"Oh, why don't I go back to sleep? I won't disturb you and can't sleep all night."
"..."
Sheng Yanwen suddenly felt a little regretful that he had temporarily changed the flight ticket that had been booked earlier. Facing the extremely proud Shi Zhou in his arms, he could only hold his breath and hug him tightly, "Sleep!"
"If you keep making trouble, sooner or later you will cry!"
Accompanied by Nan Jia's statement through gritted teeth, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Shi Zhou looked at Nanjia in front of him, and countless questions came from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
He only knew that what Nanjia said was not wrong——
Shi Zhou is the only son of his adoptive parents. He has been outstanding since he was a child, and he is also proficient in everything he likes like Sheng Yanwen.
But Shi Zhou likes music and the stage the most. At the age of 17, he fulfilled his wish to become an undebuted signed artist of a brokerage company.
Two years later, the company held cruise team building for its undebuted artists.
But no one expected that the 19-year-old Shi Zhou accidentally fell into the sea. Even though the rescue team searched for half a month, there was still no news at all.

Shi Zhou can play the piano, so Shi Zhou has to learn;
Shi Zhou will be allergic to seafood, so Shi Zhou can't touch it no matter how he likes it;
Shi Zhou's favorite dressing style, so Shi Zhou must follow suit;
Shi Zhou fell into the sea and died without a trace, so Shi Zhou couldn't get close to the swimming pool, the river and the sea, let alone 'swimming'.
Not only that, but the adoptive mother also hated everything in the entertainment industry. Even when Shi Zhou returned to China to make his debut in filming, he had to be trembling and tried every means to hide it from her.

Sheng Yanwen did not continue to press, "Well, let's go."
Shi Zhou nodded and took a few steps outside, and realized that Sheng Yanwen did not follow him, "Aren't you going?"
Sheng Yanwen was still standing at the door of the bathroom, and the skylight on the side of the corridor scattered a piece of light, which coincidentally fell on him.
Shi Zhou saw the slight ups and downs in the air, but it was difficult to distinguish Sheng Yanwen's eyes at the moment, "Yanwen?"
Sheng Yanwen looked at him, "It's okay, you go there first, I'll go to the bathroom."
As soon as the words fell, Hanhan also ran over, "Brother Zhou, it's time for you to shoot, we have to hurry up and get some makeup done."
There was still a large group of staff waiting in the shed. Shi Zhou was not in the character of letting go of his burden, so he had no choice but to say to Sheng Yanwen, "Then I'll go there first?"
"Ah."
Sheng Yanwen watched Shi Zhou's back disappear around the corner, and the arc of the corner of his mouth completely dropped.He quickly approached the sink, and rinsed his hands vigorously with cold water, trying to calm down the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.
Sheng Yanwen looked up at himself in the mirror, feeling a sense of loss for no reason——
From the beginning to the end, he didn't like the state of being 'deceived'.
Whenever faced with Shi Zhou's evasion, Sheng Yanwen only felt powerless and painful.
Just like just now.
Obviously he and Shi Zhou were the couple in name, but turned out to be outsiders in front of Nan Jia?
Sheng Yanwen really wanted to let his desire for control go and force Shi Zhou to submit obediently, but he was afraid that he would scare the other party by mistake, and he really couldn't bear to push away the person who came back after thinking about it for two years.
The footsteps sounded gradually.
A staff member came in, and he saw that he was washing his hands and was fascinated by the rumors, so he greeted politely and carefully, "Teacher Sheng?"
Hearing the words, he came back to his senses, restraining the true emotions in his eyes.
He took out a tissue and wiped his hands, turned around and nodded politely to the staff before walking towards the studio.
...
Shi Zhou's solo shoot also went smoothly, and it was only after five o'clock when he returned to the lounge to take off his makeup.
While swiping his phone, Hanhan asked casually, "Brother Wen, your birthday is only five days away, and some fans on Weibo have already warmed up the topic for you."
"Birthday?" Shi Zhou responded, "Next Wednesday?"
The publicity staff of Sheng Yanwen's team answered, "The company originally planned to arrange a birthday meeting for fans, but Brother Wen was not happy, so he refused without thinking."
As the person concerned, Sheng Yanwen dealt with it casually, "It's just a birthday, there is nothing easy about an ordinary day."
"Brother Wen, that's not what you said. This is your last birthday at the beginning of the word. In the past..."
Hanhan glanced at Shizhou next to him, and suddenly reacted and laughed, "That's right! Brother Zhou is back this year. Are you two going to live alone?"
As soon as the second half of the sentence was uttered, the staff next to him all showed knowing smiles.
Shi Zhou smiled subconsciously, and when he looked at Sheng Yanwen, he happened to catch a glimpse of Di An who came back on high heels.
Dean knocked on the door and signaled, "I reserved a box in advance, and when the work is over here, the big guys go to get together? By the way, celebrate your brother Zhou's first endorsement success."
Upon hearing this, the staff including Hanhan responded enthusiastically.
Shi Zhou curled his lips, and was just about to answer when he heard Sheng Yanwen next to him say, "You guys go, I'm really tired today, I want to go back and rest first."
"..."
Shi Zhou's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he said worriedly, "Didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Sheng Yanwen glanced at him, and replied quietly, "Don't worry, you can celebrate with them, I will drive home first, and let the driver take you back at night."
What Shi Zhou wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and he finally decided, "No, Sister An will take them there. After filming for a long time, I also want to rest early."
...
An hour later, the electronic door opened.
Sheng Yanwen looked at Shizhou who was going home with him, "Actually, you can follow them to the private room for dinner. I came back early to pack my things."
Shi Zhou was stunned, "Pack up your things?"
Sheng Yanwen replied truthfully, "Well, some time ago, I received a short film for public welfare directed by Wei An. I will go to other provinces to shoot for about three days, and I have to leave tomorrow."
Shi Zhou counted the days, "Can you come back on your birthday?"
Sheng Yanwen was silent for a moment.
Originally, he had calculated the time for the announcement, and he really wanted to rush back to celebrate Shizhou's birthday, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to impose his expectations on others.
"It depends on the situation. If Wednesday is too late, come back on Thursday." Sheng Yanwen changed his mind, but he did not forget to put the slippers by Shizhou's feet.
He looked around the living room, and continued to ask, "If you feel bored by yourself these few days and want them to come back to accompany you, I will ask Yue Ze to help bring them back."
I was rushing to shoot the announcement today, but the two dogs were still in the Shengjia Manor and I didn’t bring them back
"..."
Shi Zhou didn't answer, but just followed Sheng Yanwen back to the room.
Sheng Yanwen simply packed up two sets of clothes for a change of clothes, and said in an inexplicable and distant tone, "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I'll disturb you, so I'm going to sleep in the next bedroom tonight."
Shi Zhou frowned slightly, and walked forward, "Sheng Yanwen, you..."
Sheng Yanwen didn't seem to see his emotions, and asked after packing up his clothes, "Shall I make you something to eat? Go to bed early after eating."
Shi Zhou shook his head, "No need, if you are tired, go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Sheng Yanwen paused for two seconds, his words were a little heavy, "Okay."
With that said, he left the room with his light luggage.
- pat.
The sound of the door closing shook my heart.
Shi Zhou unconsciously took a few quick breaths, and he was surrounded by a sense of loss that he had never felt before.
From time travel to now, he is used to Sheng Yanwen's active care, and adapted to the other party's unique tenderness, but he has never seen that attitude just now.
It is clear that the concern in words and deeds is still there, but it is with a cold attitude that makes it difficult for him to approach.
"..."
Shi Zhou completely lost his appetite to eat, so he had to take a hot shower first.
It's a pity that he couldn't suppress his messy thoughts, his mind was full of images of getting along with Sheng Yanwen.
It is said that people are most afraid of the sudden change of the things they are used to, and the sudden loss of the things they have.
Lying on the bed, Shi Zhou tossed and couldn't sleep, and couldn't even imagine the days after parting ways with Sheng Yanwen.
As time passed by, Shi Zhou finally couldn't control the impulse in his heart, and came to the next room lightly.
- Click.
Under the control of the doorknob with extreme strength, there was only a slight inaudible movement. The guest bedroom was in darkness, and Sheng Yanwen's figure could be vaguely seen.
The other party lay motionless on the bed, as if he was really tired and fell asleep.
Shi Zhou walked in like a thief, approached the bed and looked at Sheng Yanwen's sleeping face, and yelled twice, "Yanwen? Sheng Yanwen?"
Sheng Yanwen, who deliberately pretended to be sleeping, still couldn't pretend anymore.
He raised his hand and caught Shi Zhou squarely, the accumulated depression in his heart became more intense after seeing him stepping on the ground with bare feet.
Sheng Yanwen gritted his teeth, "What are you doing sneaking here in the middle of the night? It's autumn and you're not afraid of catching cold?"
When Shi Zhou heard his tone of voice, he felt aggrieved and complicated for a moment, "I can't sleep alone."
Sheng Yanwen pretended to be indifferent, "So?"
When Shi Zhou heard this, his emotions became more intense all night.He threw off the quilt like a broken can, and burrowed directly into Sheng Yanwen's arms.
"..."
Shi Zhou originally had a relatively cold physique, but now he suddenly slipped into the bed as if throwing himself into his arms, and was taken aback by the words of his body heat.
Shi Zhou muttered, "Don't be angry, can you?"
"Who said I was angry?"
Sheng Yanwen hardened his heart and refused to admit it, and still pulled the quilt with both hands to cover Shi Zhou, "Before you said that the two of you could not sleep in the same bed, but now you are allowed to sleep alone, is it dishonest in the middle of the night? "
Sensing Sheng Yanwen's turning attitude, Shi Zhou moaned softly, "Don't deny it, you're just angry, that's why you've been giving me cold looks tonight."
Sheng Yanwen laughed when he heard it, "I handed you slippers when I entered the door, and I planned to cook for you after packing up. Is this a cold face for you? Where did you come from without a heart?"
Shi Zhou tentatively hooked Sheng Yanwen's little finger, subdued and then poked at the core, "Yanwen, you are different from Nanjia, really."
How can Sheng Yanwen not feel the small movements of the person in his arms?The depression accumulated in his heart was easily disintegrated, and he deliberately asked, "It's different? What's different?"
"Nanjia only exists as a friend at most, but you are not." Shi Zhou took a light breath, and secretly rubbed the ring on Sheng Yanwen's ring finger with his fingertips.
"Whether I have amnesia or not, it is impossible for me to wear rings and sleep with other people casually, and it is impossible to let them do that kind of hooliganism."
Sheng Yanwen held his rebellious hand, and gave a vague smile, "I talk about hooligans all day long, what did I do? Kiss you through the palm of your hand? Kiss the birthmark? Or bully Xiaozhou through the clothes precious?"
Shi Zhou's face became hotter the more he listened, "Stop talking."
"Didn't you bring it up first?" Sheng Yan heard that he turned his back on customers, and leaned closer to Shi Zhou to ask, "I won't do things you don't want to do, and I won't force things you don't answer."
"Yes, you have lost your memory and can't remember anything. But to me, you are my lover."
"Shizhou, while you are clinging to me, you don't give me a good time? Who can fish like you?" Sheng Yan was so angry that he bit the earlobe of the person in his arms with his teeth, but he was reluctant to really hurt him.
Shi Zhou raised his head slightly to avoid Sheng Yanwen's smacking of lips and teeth, and asked tremblingly, "Yanwen, can you come back on your birthday?"
Sheng Yanwen breathed heavily, "What are you rushing back for? My birthday wish, can you help me realize it?"
Shi Zhou looked straight into his eyes, softly but firmly, "... yes."
Sheng Yanwen chuckled and asked persistently, "Do you know what I want?"
"know."
Shi Zhou knew that any relationship should not be a one-sided contribution, and he also knew that he had already been trapped in this relationship and could not extricate himself.
Since it is destined to be impossible to hide, it is better to respond sincerely.
Shi Zhou's eyes fell on Sheng Yanwen's Adam's apple mole, watching it move and undulate slightly in the night, he was attracted uncontrollably by making up his mind, "Sheng Yanwen."
"Ok?"
"When it's your birthday, I'll give you a happy one."
Shi Zhou leaned closer to Sheng Yanwen's Adam's apple, and gently pressed his cool lips against the sexy Adam's apple, "I want to celebrate your birthday and make up for what I missed before."
Sheng Yanwen's breathing suddenly became rough, and while his Adam's apple was rising and falling, he clenched Shi Zhou's hand even more tightly, refusing to back down.
They were all men, so Shi Zhou naturally noticed the change in Sheng Yanwen.
It's just that this time, as the one who took the initiative to tease him, he didn't have the slightest bit of shame. Instead, he deliberately provoked him, "Are you going to get up early tomorrow?"
"Oh, why don't I go back to sleep? I won't disturb you and can't sleep all night."
"..."
Sheng Yanwen suddenly felt a little regretful that he had temporarily changed the flight ticket that had been booked earlier. Facing the extremely proud Shi Zhou in his arms, he could only hold his breath and hug him tightly, "Sleep!"
"If you keep making trouble, sooner or later you will cry!"
