Chapter 23

Pei Xun woke up when he entered the door.His body was uncomfortable, his mind was not clear, he didn't want to open his eyes, he just asked in a daze, "Zhou Nian?"

"Yeah." Zhou Nian became nervous, "Woke you up?"

"Why... isn't it tomorrow?" Pei Xun still closed his eyes, his eyebrows twitched suddenly, "Hiss..."

His body arched, his hands suddenly clutched his abdomen, and his facial features wrinkled in pain.Zhou Nian was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed his hand - covered in cold sweat.

"Stomach pain?" Zhou Nian asked.Pei Xun still frowned tightly, and after a while, he said: "It's okay, no need..."

This doesn't look like "nothing". "Is there any medicine?" Zhou Nian interrupted him.

Pei Xun pointed to the closet beside him.Zhou Nian ran over and finally found some unopened boxes of stomach medicine.It seems to be an old problem, and the commonly used medicines are well prepared, probably to deal with this kind of scene.He turned to the bottom of the box and checked the expiration date. Fortunately, it was all within the time limit.

The water in the glass was already cold.He had to boil another pot and add some cold water to keep it warm.After taking the medicine, Pei Xun finally relaxed between his brows, and soon fell into a drowsy sleep again.

There are a lot of soft cushions and thin quilts randomly thrown on the sofa, one can imagine what kind of life the owner of the house lives on weekdays.Zhou Nian pulled a blanket over him carefully, Pei Xun moved impatiently, and the corner of the quilt immediately fell off.

Zhou Nian sighed.A person who has no demeanor outside, but this is what he looks like when he is alone.He stretched out his hand to close the edge of the blanket, and sewed up the leaky window. When he turned back, Pei Xun had turned around again, and the blanket was hanging on the ground again.

"..." Zhou Nian simply sat down on the ground.He adjusted the blanket again, covered it around Pei Xun's neck, and pressed it with his elbow.This time Pei Xun didn't move any more, he closed his eyes tightly, his eyelashes drooping quietly, looking very obedient.

"Good night." Looking at this sleeping face, Zhou Nian said in his heart.

He lay down next to Pei Xun for the whole night.Pei Xun woke up very early the next day, feeling that something was tightly bound to her body, like being wrapped in a cocoon.

He opened his eyes, and just as his eyelashes brushed Zhou Nian's fingertips, he realized that this person was sleeping next to him.Yesterday he rushed back overnight and failed to get a good rest. Zhou Nian's brows, which were clear and bright in the past, were a little tired, and he seemed to be sleeping restlessly.Pei Xun looked at him quietly for a moment, then turned slightly, trying to sit up.He only moved slightly, but Zhou Nian woke up immediately.

He blinked slowly, remembering what happened yesterday, and came back to his senses.Pei Xun was looking at him with a smile: "Aren't you tired?"

Zhou Nian was tall and tall, and spent the night huddled in the corner of the sofa, looking at him made his back ache.Hearing this, Zhou Nian didn't answer, and asked him first: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Pei Xun said: "It's a small matter. It doesn't matter a long time ago."

He had a bad stomach since he was a child, coupled with his poor eating habits, it became more and more serious as an adult.These days, the housekeeping aunt who prepares three meals on time is back home, and she is even less concerned about these things.It's just that he didn't expect that Xu Liang only reminded him yesterday morning, and in the evening, he was hit by what he said, and it hurt again and again.

When the pain came, it was fierce, and when it went away, it seemed to take away one's strength. He was used to it, and fell asleep leaning on the sofa.If Zhou Nian hadn't come, he might have survived until today.

Judging by Zhou Nian's appearance, it is obvious that he does not believe him.He went to adjust the warm water again and delivered the medicine to him.Pei Xun shrank back, trying to get away with it: "I'm really fine... no medicine."

"Good." Zhou Nian frowned.

"..."

So novel.Pei Xun was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Zhou Nian was sitting beside him, watching him take the two pills without blinking his eyes.He furrowed his brows, looking bitter and bitter, as if it wasn't Pei Xun who was taking the medicine, but him.He maintained this expression as if he was thinking about some serious issue, and after a while, he said, "What would you do without me?"

When he said this, Pei Xun was drinking water from his hand, almost choking on hearing the words.He coughed twice, thinking that Zhou Nian had learned to tease him: "What did you say?"

But Zhou Nian is really introspecting deeply.He was thinking, if he hadn't come back early yesterday, Pei Xun probably wouldn't have taken the medicine at all; he might have been in such pain all night; there might have been some more serious problems... He didn't see before that this person actually What can I do if I despise myself to such an extent.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was serious. Even when he looked at Pei Xun, he unconsciously added a filter of worry: but after not seeing him for two weeks, he felt that Pei Xun seemed to have lost weight...

Thanks to his good family education, his work and rest has always been regular, and he is simply a role model in the entertainment circle.When he was with him, Pei Xun also lived and ate with him, and nothing seemed abnormal.Stomach problems are mostly the root cause of many years of illness. When he can't see it, Pei Xun doesn't know how he is ruining himself.

what to do?You can't pack this worry-free person with you - he thought.

Pei Xun belatedly saw that Zhou Nian seemed to be brewing some kind of plan.And this plan must not be good for him.

Zhou Nian's hand was still hanging beside his pillow.Pei Xun leaned over and bit his fingertips.

This trick is very effective.Zhou Nian immediately closed his mind, his fingers tensed slightly, subconsciously wanting to shrink back.Pei Xun held down his wrist, sucked that knuckle softly, and licked his fingertips with the tip of his tongue.

He closed his eyes, but he knew that Zhou Nian's breathing was tightened—his fingertips were trembling slightly.

He squeezed that finger deeper.Zhou Nian could feel his warm mouth and soft tongue.Zhou Nian said: "...Don't do this."

"Then what do you want? Huh?" Pei Xun smiled.He stretched out his hand and caressed Zhou Nian's lower body: "I haven't seen you for more than ten days, don't you miss me?"

Of course he wanted to—the touch of his hands had already told him straightforwardly.Zhou Nian's face suddenly became hot, as if he was about to smoke.He turned his face to prevent Pei Xun from seeing his embarrassment: "You need to rest."

Pei Xun smiled lowly: "Then don't use it there."

He licked Zhou Nian's palm.The man seemed to be frozen, and after a while, he suddenly threw himself on him, but he hugged him together with the quilt.Zhou Nian buried her face in the thin blanket and repeated sullenly: "You need to rest."

This sentence was spoken weakly, obviously not as resolute as before.Zhou Nian hugged him like a wilted grass short of water.You can feel his frustration without looking.

Pei Xun couldn't hold back, and finally burst out laughing.

They ended up just leaning side by side.Zhou Nian insisted that he needed a good rest, and even tried to lift him up and move him back to the bedroom.This lofty ideal failed to be realized in the end because of Pei Xun's lack of cooperation - he felt that he was not yet so fragile.

Even though he has neglected to take care of himself in recent years, Pei Xun's body is still in good condition. After one night, except for the lack of blood on his face, he looks the same as usual.He has no energy, doesn't want to go out, and has nothing to do, so he just leans beside Zhou Nian and reads the script with him.

This kind of docile look is really rare, probably only when one is ill.Zhou Nian almost only focused on looking at him, and after a while, she remembered about the new movie contract.He tapped on the tablet to bring up the script.Just like what Bai Hua said, this time it is a costume film called "Xia Ke Xing".

"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star. Killing a person in ten steps will never stop a thousand miles away."The title of the film is quoted from Li Bai's poem, and the background of the story also took place in the Tang Dynasty.The screenwriting skills are quite deep, and the words and sentences are self-contained and elegant, with some archaic charm.Not only is the writing style elegant, but the textual research is also quite rigorous. Even a person like Zhou Nian who grew up in old papers can't find any faults.

He dragged the file to the end and found the name of the screenwriter—it really was a well-known person in the circle.

"Do you want to hang on to Wia?" Pei Xun asked.

Zhou Nian let out a "huh".The script does not arrange the strange and mysterious moves in martial arts novels, and it seems that there is no need for light and shadow special effects, but the necessary fighting scenes are indispensable.For this reason, he may have to go to relevant training soon.

"Well," Pei Xun said, "I heard it's a little dangerous."

He shook his head.Most of the safety guarantees in the crew are doing well now, the danger is not too high, but it may be more difficult.

Time-traveling and self-cultivation themes are popular at the moment. He has received many invitations from costume drama crews before, but the quality is mixed, so he declined them all.In this respect he was more influenced by his family than he thought.After all, there is such a father, he more or less has some persistence hidden in his bones, and he can't see the clumsy adaptation.I heard from Bai Hua that this is a work Director Liang is planning to shoot, so I knew the content of the book would not be bad, but I didn't expect it to be so in line with my intentions.As he read page by page, his eyes slowly lit up and his heartbeat became louder.

That’s probably it, Pei Xun looked at him, thinking——the so-called “appearance bathed in ideals”.

Zhou Nian didn't know that he was the prettiest when he was immersed in the play.Just looking at it, it seems that you can feel his wholehearted love and enthusiasm.It is also because of this unconsciousness that makes him look more attractive, more pure and precious, admirable and enviable, and makes people want to have such concentration, or be used by him with such a focused gaze watch.

One day... Pei Xun thought to himself, I want to draw a picture for him.

The script doesn't have much weight, and it doesn't give a lot of hints about the character's psychology like the scripts he has come into contact with before, giving the actors enough room to play.But once he got into the play, Zhou Nian seemed to be in a trance, and his mind only changed with the characters in the play. Before he knew it, nearly two hours passed.Pei Xun lay on him, eyes closed, as if asleep.

He has just pulled out of the emotions of the protagonist in the script, and he still has some emotion and sadness in the play.And when he lowered his head and saw Pei Xun's side face, all kinds of emotions faded away like evening tide, leaving him full of peace and tranquility.Zhou Nian knew how easy it was for Pei Xun to wake up, so he stretched out his hand, but he didn't dare to touch his face, he just grabbed a lock of his loose hair and caressed it imperceptibly for a moment.

The script has reached the final page, and the rest is related to staff arrangements.Zhou Nian saw the words "historical guidance" first, and immediately looked back, his eyes froze immediately, fixed on the same spot.

He looked at the two words—he clearly recognized them, but they seemed to suddenly become symbols with unknown meanings.It took a long time before he realized it slowly - that was his father's name.
