duet

He didn't get through Zhou Nian's phone call.

On the way from the bar to the airport, Pei Xun repeatedly dialed his number more than ten times.As for the voice from the other end of the radio wave, it was "in progress" at first, but when the busy tone passed, it was replaced by a counting sound of ticks, but in the end it was still not picked up.After three extraordinarily long waits, the mechanical female voice told him: The phone you dialed has been turned off.

So Pei Xun didn't try to contact him again.

With Zhou Nian's meticulousness in doing things, since they met, his mobile phone has almost always been kept fully charged, just to prevent others from being unable to contact him.There is only one explanation for turning off the phone at this time—for some reason, the man doesn't want to see him.

It's just that Zhou Nian underestimated him too much.

Pei Xun leaned against the porthole and finished answering the last call.Just a few seconds ago, the person on the other end of the call had reported all the information he needed.When Zhou Nian was injured, how was the injury, and where is he now... Following the buzzing sound of the radio in the cabin, he closed his eyes, and his hanging heart returned to the original place, but some other depressed emotions surged up .

He has never been a good-tempered person, he has a very narrow mind, and he only let go of a few people, and he is only willing to lower the limit of patience again and again for these people.And the more you love a person, the more you can't stand rejection from him.

But this restlessness disappeared the moment he saw Zhou Nian.

Zhou Nian's ward was arranged on the top floor of a private hospital.This floor is mostly single rooms, quiet and secluded, just right for patients who don't want to be caught.Pei Xun walked in the bright and empty corridor, only the echo of his footsteps could be heard along the way.He saw Xu Li in front of a half-closed door. The agent rushed over as soon as he received the news. He was guarding Zhou Nian's door at this time. The folds, probably the hands are curled up in them, twisted into a ball anxiously.

Pei Xun nodded to her.She also recognized him naturally, and raised her eyebrows from a distance, probably because she didn't expect him to know her.

This is really no surprise.He had prepared everything for the relationship as early as the days when he decided to "try it out."

"Take a step?" he said to her.

Xu Li added details for him that the previous insider did not know.The negligence of the props team...the omission of the pre-action inspection...as a result, another actor in the same group had an accident during the fight, and the wire suddenly fell off...the actor fell and was seriously injured on the spot.

And the actor who was filming the opposite scene with him at that time was Zhou Nian - the split steel wire swept across his face.

"Could it be artificial?"

"It's still under investigation." She shook her head.

"...I see." He said, "Thank you."

Having worked in this industry for many years, the most important thing Xu Li lacks is the control of human relations. When the patron comes, it is naturally impossible to just ask about the situation in person, and of course have to talk to Zhou Nian.She was very witty, and she found an excuse to leave after answering the questions.On the contrary, Pei Xun was not as eager as she imagined, he walked back to the original place slowly, and stopped by the door for a while.

Of course, he was angry at being kept from important things for no reason. He even thought about it for a moment. Don't ask about it, Zhou Nian is the one who is sad in the end.

As transparent as him, after understanding the cause and effect, it is not difficult to guess why Zhou Nian didn't want him to come.But does he really not want to?Definitely Not.It was as if he believed that at this moment, behind this door, the person who was so bold as to refuse to answer his phone call must be anxious and anxious at the moment, wanting to see him but not daring to see him... All of these, He knows it all.

And all worries and fears originate from love.Lin Chen knew that Zhou Nian treated him with "heart", of course he couldn't fail to see it.

——So in the end, I still didn’t give up.

He knocked lightly on the door, and then there was a dragging sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground in the room.Besides him, there was already a visitor in the room. Hearing the sound of him opening the door, he stood up with his back to him, and turned his head to look again.

"..."

That night he couldn't see his face clearly, but now that the light source is sufficient, Father Zhou and Zhou Nian are standing in the same place again, and the blood relationship is directly and clearly shown through the facial features.There was still something that Pei Xun didn't understand, but he didn't panic, he just stopped by the door, bowed politely, and said, "Hello, Uncle."

Father Zhou didn't expect to see him when he turned around, so he paused for a moment.After a few seconds, he nodded back very stiffly, and went straight out the door without saying a word.

Pei Xun stood by the door and watched him leave.After seeing him walking away, he turned around and slowly closed the door.

The compartment is well-equipped. In addition to the hospital bed, there is also a complete set of tables and chairs, which seems to be used for the famous patients here to receive guests.Zhou Nian was sitting on the chair, the wound had been treated briefly, and he should have been able to leave early, but he couldn't stop the wave of people who came to inquire about the situation, and it has been delayed until now.Tonight, on this chair, he has had several unpleasant long conversations, and the exhaustion that he tried to hide in the past is like a mountain after the snow melts, exposed at a glance.

When Pei Xun entered the door, he couldn't help but look up, and when someone walked in front of him, he lowered his head again, as if he didn't dare to look directly at him.

Pei Xun stood in front of him and didn't speak for a moment.

After a while, Zhou Nian felt his hands touch his face.Even at this point, he still didn't want Pei Xun to see the scar, and when he turned his head, he was firmly held down.

Pei Xun was watching him.

According to Xu Li, at the same time as the accident happened, the actor was doing a dive. It is not difficult to imagine how powerful the force of the fall would be... The wound was treated to stop the bleeding, and medicine was also applied, but there were no traces of it. It's still shocking.This wound is long and winding, from the corner of the mouth to the collarbone, carving out a distinct line shape, like a crack on the smooth surface of porcelain.

The wound was not too deep, not to the point of cutting flesh to the bone, but it was on the face after all—on the face of an actor.

Pei Xun's fingertips trembled slightly.

Will it leave scars?From the agent, to the director, to the actors themselves, this is what everyone cares about the most.Face is not the whole of an actor's career, but it can almost determine the future of a person's acting career.Even if it can be improved through medical plastic surgery, various hidden dangers will still remain, and it will be difficult to achieve the previous natural state.

The edge of the cut skin was congested and hot, but Pei Xun's fingers were as cold as ice.He was lowering his head, carefully stroking his fingertips along Zhou Nian's cheeks, as gently as if he was caressing some fragile treasure.Pei Xun didn't speak, and couldn't see his expression, making it impossible for Zhou Nian to guess what he was thinking.When he turned off the phone, he was guessing what Pei Xun would say when facing this scene.Will he be worried?Will you be angry?Or see him in such a bad state, turn around and leave without saying a word?

Only he did not guess Pei Xun's silence.

The quieter Pei Xun is, the more Zhou Nian thinks wildly.He clutched his cuffs, almost couldn't help but want to ask him for a verdict... Even when he saw the mirror for the first time after the injury and thought about the impact it might have on various jobs in the future, he never felt such anxiety .The accumulation of layers of silence almost turned anxiety into fear, and Pei Xun finally opened his mouth.

He asked, "Does it still hurt?"
