Jigsaw puzzle

Since Li Ran talked to Duan Chenyi last time, the two hadn't been in touch for half a year. At this time, they called suddenly, probably something really happened.

"...Uh, then I'll take it." Li Ran saw that Han Yicheng's expression was okay, so he ordered to answer in front of him.

In order to reassure Han Yicheng, he also pressed the speakerphone while answering the call.

"Hello?" A cold female voice rang out from the phone, "Is this Mr. Li Ran?"

Li Ran was a little confused: "I'm Li Ran, may I ask you...?"

"I am the personnel assistant of the crew of "Anecdote of the Ancient Lake". Mr. Duan had an accident while filming and is currently staying in the hospital for observation. Is it convenient for you to come over?"

"Ah? But I..." Li Ran glanced at Han Yicheng again, a little at a loss, "Why did you call me?"

"The emergency contact in his contract is your phone number. If it's not convenient for you, I can contact his parents..."

Li Ran pinched his eyebrows: "It's okay, I'll go there now, where is the address?"

After reporting the address over there, Li Ran reluctantly put down the phone, pulled Han Yicheng over, and kissed him on the cheek comfortingly.

"I still have to go and have a look. Duan Chenyi's mother... is a bit demented, and she's still out of town, so I can't notify my family," Li Ran explained, "That garbage company will definitely not care about him, I—"

"It's okay." Han Yicheng hugged Li Ran in his arms, thought for a while and said, "I'll be with you."

Duan Chenyi's ward is a single room, and Nuo Da's room only has a single bed, and there are several chairs arranged in a haphazard manner next to it.

When Li Ran and Han Yicheng arrived, the crew assistant who was waiting on the side was obviously very impatient, he didn't even bother to be polite, nodded to Li Ran perfunctorily, and left directly.

Duan Chenyi had several bandages wrapped around his head, and several places on his face were swollen, which looked a little funny.

He was very embarrassed to trouble Li Ran to come over, but seeing Han Yicheng still following behind, he was even more embarrassed, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Li Ran knew what he was thinking, and deliberately avoided talking about his current situation, but silently put the white fungus and lotus seed soup he brought on the bedside table next to him.

After all, the two had been dating for three years, and Li Ran knew very well that Duan Chenyi wanted to save face.

In the end, it was Li Ran who broke the silence first, "The company is still such a dog, it doesn't take good care of a pillar like you at this time." He tried his best to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed, "No wonder the fans are shouting for the company to close down every day."

"No new drama, no endorsements, no leeks, the more the fans make trouble, the more the company will annoy me." Duan Chenyi turned his face away, still feeling awkward, "If it wasn't for keeping me as a baby newcomer, I guess the resource would not be willing to give it to me now." I'll take it."

"Your last drama was very popular. All the little girls around me are watching it. You are now a household name. Relax and take care of your illness. Don't worry too much."

"That's different," Duan Chenyi sighed, not knowing how to explain it to Li Ran, he was silent for a while, and changed the subject.

"Are you busy recently? Have I delayed your work?"

Li Ran shook his head: "The busiest time has passed, and now I am not used to being suddenly idle."

In the middle, Li Ran went to the toilet, only Han Yicheng and Duan Chenyi were left in the room, and the atmosphere became even more awkward for a while.

But Han Yicheng is very numb to this kind of emotion, the main thing is that Duan Chenyi is sitting on pins and needles alone.

"Can you sign for me?" After they looked at each other for a while, Han Yicheng said suddenly.

Duan Chenyi's eyes widened: "...now?"

Han Yicheng felt around, and seemed to have no suitable paper and pen, so he said calmly, "Tomorrow."

"Are you coming back tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Han Yicheng's expression was very calm, as if they were two strangers, "Aran said that he will come over to deliver meals to you these few days."

"I..." Just as Duan Chenyi was about to refuse, he thought that he was thrown here by the company, and he couldn't go downstairs to buy food alone.In addition, several nurses in the inpatient department have already discovered his identity, and they often poke their heads at the door.

If he doesn't want to be on the hot search with the words "alone, not in good condition", he has to accept this arrangement.

Seeing his hesitation, Han Yicheng thought he was very considerate and generous, and added: "It's okay, you are friends, I don't mind."

Duan Chenyi rolled his eyes and closed them, not wanting to face reality anymore.He had already accepted the fact that Li Ran had started a new relationship, but he never expected that Li Ran would just find a fool.

After a while, he still opened his eyes unwillingly, and asked Han Yicheng: "You know that Brother Ran is with you, so you take advantage of it, right?"

Han Yicheng was taken aback by the question, and Li Ran just walked in from the outside and heard this sentence.

He came over and stroked Han Yicheng's hair, and said to Duan Chenyi: "Old Han can't talk, don't bully him."

"..."

Duan Chenyi was completely speechless, turned his head to face the wall and did not look at them.This is what it looks like to be dazzled by love. He comforted himself and said that Brother Ran is also a mortal. It is normal to be blinded by love and not be able to see who is bullying whom.

However, when Han Yicheng came to ask him to sign the poster the next day, Duan Chenyi was still furious.

"Where's Brother Ran?" He asked, "Why did you come by yourself?"

Han Yicheng still looked calm, "I'm in class." He helped Duan Chenyi clean up the previous dishes, and then put new food on the table, "Write to Qi Xin, happy 12th birthday."

Duan Chenyi took a marker pen and wrote without saying a word, thinking about when he would be discharged from the hospital.

"You're really handsome." Han Yicheng looked at Duan Chenyi's profile, which was almost the same as the poster, and suddenly said another sentence.

Duan Chenyi didn't know why he had already decided to give up on Li Ran, but he was still so unhappy seeing Han Yicheng, and he was not happy if he didn't see him being deflated.

"Qi Xin is your daughter, right?" He asked knowingly, "Aren't you about the same age? Are you already the parent of my fans?"

But as long as Li Ran is not around, this kind of provocation has absolutely no power for Han Yicheng.

"It's my niece. Aran used to accompany her to watch your TV series."

Duan Chenyi raised his eyebrows: "Before? Then she is off the fan now? You still gave her my autograph after you took off the fan?"

"No. She still likes you," Han Yicheng said, "but Ah Ran has to play games with me."

"..."

Duan Chenyi didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that just now, an imperceptible smug smile crossed Han Yicheng's face.

Depressedly, he handed the poster back to Han Yicheng, opened the lunch box vigorously as if to vent his anger, and unexpectedly found that there were quite a lot of dishes inside.

"This... Brother Ran did it?"

"I did it." Han Yicheng shook the poster tube in his hand, turned around and prepared to leave, "Thank you for this."

Alas, Duan Chenyi looked at Han Yicheng's leaving back and sighed.

What is this.

On the third day, when Li Ran and Han Yicheng came to see Duan Chenyi together, they found that there were already two people in the room.

"This is..." Li Ran stared at one of them for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, "You are Xu Heng—Xu Nuo! You are Xu Nuo!"

Xu Nuo was also a little confused, blinked his big eyes and turned his head to ask Duan Chenyi: "Brother Chenyi, who is this?"

"We are friends of Duan Chenyi," Han Yicheng answered immediately, emphasizing it again after speaking, "good friends."

Duan Chenyi took a look at Han Yicheng, turned to Xu Nuo and spoke in a somewhat impatient tone: "Yes, it's enough for them to take care of me these few days. Aren't you in the movie promotion period? Don't keep running this way? Let It’s not good for others to take pictures.”

"What's wrong with the picture? It's not like we don't know each other. Why do we have to pretend to be strangers?"

Xu Nuo's figure was very slender, his eyes were big and bright, and when he got emotional, Li Ran almost thought he was going to cry.

Duan Chenyi didn't answer his words, the room was very quiet for a while, and the atmosphere slowly froze like ice.

Just when Li Ran couldn't help but say something to smooth things over, he suddenly heard Han Yicheng say to Xu Nuo, "Can you sign for me?"

"Ah?" Xu Nuo was clearly confused by Han Yicheng's sudden request, but he quickly realized, "Brother Lin," he asked his assistant, "do you still have any photos in your bag?"

"Yes, yes," the assistant who was named immediately took out a thick stack of photos from his bag, and promised that the appearance of each character would be complete.

Han Yicheng saw with sharp eyes that there were several photos of two people with Duan Chenyi in this stack of photos.Pointing to those photos, he asked very politely, "Can you sign this?"

There was surprise in Xu Nuo's eyes, he glanced at Duan Chenyi, and nodded happily: "Yes! Of course, how many do you want?"

"Just one piece." Han Yicheng handed over the marker very thoughtfully.

After promising to sign, Han Yicheng took the photo and thanked him, then handed the pen and paper to Duan Chenyi: "Why don't you sign it again?"

If Li Ran didn't know Han Yicheng well, he almost thought Han Yicheng did it on purpose.He watched in horror as Duan Chenyi took the pen and paper, gritted his teeth and signed his name on it.

"Your niece is very fraternal," Duan Chenyi said a few words, "You like so many people?"

Han Yicheng thought that Duan Chenyi thought Qi Xin was not single-minded in chasing stars, and explained: "She only likes you two."

"Oh! Thank you so much!" Li Ran couldn't stand it anymore, and pinched Han Yicheng hard, telling him to shut up quickly, "You guys talk first, let's ask the doctor about the situation."

"I just asked, and the doctor said that you have to be observed for another week before you can be discharged from the hospital."

Xu Nuo seemed a little afraid of the two of them leaving, so he moved a few steps towards the door, just blocking the retreat of Li Ran and Han Yicheng.

He was sure that Duan Chenyi didn't want to embarrass himself in front of these two people, so he mustered up the courage to speak again.

"It's okay if you don't want to see me. Can you leave Brother Lin here to take care of you? I promise not to disturb you."

Li Ran didn't know Xu Nuo's age, but he looked very young, and everything he said at the end seemed to be begging.

"Or my other assistants, whoever you think is better, I will let him come over, okay?"

Duan Chenyi's heart softened in the end, and he sighed: "I didn't mean that, I didn't want to see you, didn't I tell you before? The company will be released after the show is over, and you still have new plays and movies , come to me all the time for your poor promotion of your new work."

"I'm not a child! I can take care of my own affairs, and they don't dare not listen to me at the company!"

"But I also have a company, and my company won't let me do this."

Xu Nuo ran a few steps forward, stood next to Duan Chenyi, and grabbed his wrist: "Why don't you come and sign with our company? Let me talk to my dad, and he will definitely agree. Isn't it just a termination fee?" ? How much money can you have?"

Duan Chenyi looked into Xu Nuo's innocent eyes and didn't know how to answer him for a while.

"I don't want to be like this. You should go back quickly. If you are absent from the publicity period, you will be said to have a bad attitude." Duan Chenyi said this, and promised that his eyes dimmed visibly. He bit his lip hard, as if he had been greatly affected wronged.

"...Let Brother Lin stay here." Duan Chenyi added.

Xu Nuo's eyes lit up again: "Really? Then can I send you a WeChat message if I have something to do?"

"Okay," Duan Chenyi patted his head helplessly, "You go back quickly, I can tell Brother Lin if there is something to do, and he will report to you anyway, right?"

"Then I'm leaving," Xu Nuo did not forget to bow to Han Yicheng before leaving, "Thank you for your niece's love, I will continue to work hard in the future."

Han Yicheng: "It's my niece, you're welcome."

"Ah, that," Li Ran pinched Han Yicheng's waist again, and smiled with Duan Chenyi, "Then let's go first, call me if you need something."

Li Ran and Han Yicheng walked out of the hospital side by side, each silently digesting what they had just seen on their own channels.

"Qi Xin will definitely be very happy." Han Yicheng said.

Li Ran glanced at him and sighed sincerely: "This little girl is really amazing."
