"Blood pressure 40 to 60, multiple fractures in the body, severe internal bleeding..."

"Mr. Zong, can you hear me? Don't sleep, don't sleep!"

Zong Yingchi opened his eyelids with force, and recognized that this was a hospital in his blurred vision.

"He needs an immediate operation, what about the patient's family? The consent form for the operation..."

dependents?

I have no dependents.

Zong Yingchi wanted to tell the doctor this, but he didn't know why even opening his mouth became a strenuous movement.

When did it happen?

Zong Yingchi recalled slowly.

It seems that when he was nine years old, his parents suffered a car accident, and he became an orphan overnight, and his grandfather raised him.Grandpa is not in good health. Zong Yingchi wanted to work after graduating from high school, but his grandfather was so angry that he almost kicked him out of the house.

Later, Zong Yingchi went to university, but within a month, he received news of his grandfather's death, and Zong Yingchi was unable to see him for the last time.

After graduating, Zong Yingchi went to a big city and couldn't find a job, so he went to work as a waiter in a restaurant. Somehow, he was spotted by his manager and signed into the company as a little idol.

Zong Yingchi had never sung much, let alone danced. He finally participated in a talent show and was rejected. He was the least favored one in the company. Later, he even returned to the restaurant to serve dishes.

Until the appearance of "Xijian", until he met Ye Shaohuai.

From then on, Zong Yingchi watched helplessly as his life was split into two halves, the first half belonged to himself, and the second half belonged to Xijian.

There's nothing wrong with this, Zong Yingchi thought, if it happened again, he would still throw himself into the fire without hesitation.

Because it was Ye Shaohuai.

Zong Yingchi had never been exposed to acting before accepting "Xijian". It was Ye Shaohuai who taught him the opera over and over again and taught him by hand.

Zhang Chi and Wen Shao's first kiss in front of the screen was the result of Ye Shaohuai's countless NGs with him.

Zong Yingchi had never been treated so patiently in his life.

He is an inconspicuous stone on the road, used to being kicked and stepped on, but Ye Shaohuai picked him up, carefully held him in his hand and ground it a little bit, until it became round and beautiful.

Even if Ye Shaohuai's original intention of doing all this was just to complete the work.

How can a mouse that is about to die of starvation care whether the cheese in front of it is poisonous?How can people who are burned by fire care whether the lake in front of them is deep or shallow?

How could Zong Yingchi not fall into the trap?

He gave Ye Shaohuai all the firsts.

The first time holding hands, the first kiss, the first love.

Ye Shaohuai said that he would teach him how to fall in love, so Zong Yingchi fell in love.

Ye Shaohuai said next time, and Zong Yingchi has been waiting for this distant next time.

This limited first love should have ended with the last full stop of the script, but Zong Yingchi waited for 20 years and still didn't wait for someone to call "stop".

This first love is a false artificial creation, a well-arranged lie, and together with the unreleased movie, it is like a pebble lying in the torrent of time, forgotten, discarded, buried, but never will die.

He clearly saw that everyone was moving forward with the torrent, only he himself was stuck in the sand, the turbulence beat him, together with Ye Shaohuai's countless rejections, corroded the circle he had worn into mottled little by little hole.

Sometimes Zong Yingchi also thinks, maybe he is just too stupid, when he learns how to act, he will forget about Ye Shaohuai, and many years later, he can bring his beloved to Ye Shaohuai and introduce him frankly They know each other.

So he acted desperately, experiencing love and breaking up in various lives.

One year has passed, two years have passed, ten years have passed, he has won all the awards that Ye Shaohuai has won, traveled all the way he has traveled, and finally surpassed him.

Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has given up his acting career and returned to being an ordinary person.

But why he still couldn't get out of Xijian, when he looked up, he still saw the night sky divided into five parts by iron railings, as if he had been trapped in the confinement room of the correctional center all his life.

Now he finally understands.

As long as Ye Shaohuai is still around, he will have to act for the rest of his life.

Play Zong Yingchi who doesn't love Ye Shaohuai.

too difficult.

Even if Zong Yingchi covered his ears and closed his eyes and mouth, liking would still emerge from his breath.

But he couldn't make Ye Shaohuai see it.

Ye Shaohuai is the best person in the world, he has his own lover and a happy family.

Zong Yingchi was not qualified to intervene.

In this NG scene, Zong Yingchi must always be at his best. He has been acting for most of his life, and the pinnacle of his acting skills will always be the next time he sees Ye Shaohuai.

too tired.

Where is the end?

……

In a daze, Zong Yingchi saw Ye Shaohuai standing beside him, calling his name, and kept wiping his eyes with the back of his hand, as if crying.

Zong Yingchi wanted to comfort him, but he opened his lips forcefully, but found that he didn't have the strength to make a sound.

Don't cry, don't cry.

It's actually quite good, Zong Yingchi thought.

Zhang Chi and Wen Shao's endings are pretty good, and his ending is not too bad.

Some things can still be lived even if they can't get them for a lifetime, but he really wants to go back to that summer in Xijian.

His vision gradually blurred, he closed his eyes slowly, and when he opened them again, he found that Ye Shaohuai's white hair and wrinkles had disappeared, and he had returned to his appearance 20 years ago.

Zong Yingchi panted, struggled, and stretched out his hand to him with the last bit of strength...

The summer in Xijian was still as hot as ever, so Zhang Chi bought a glass of ice water at the convenience store and took the opportunity to cool off for a few minutes.

This is the first time Zhang Chi has returned to Xijian since high school. He thought he would never come back again in his life, but he did not expect to revisit the old place because of a business trip.

Xijian has changed a lot. The high school where Zhang Chi went to school has become an elementary school. The surrounding wasteland has been developed into residential buildings. The roads have more than doubled in width, and sidewalks and traffic lights have been added. Cross the road.

After drinking a whole bottle of ice water, Zhang Chi walked out of the convenience store and gradually mixed into the flow of people passing by.

It was the time when school was over at noon, and there were many students in school uniforms on the street. Zhang Chi stared at them for a while, but couldn't recognize their school uniforms, just like he couldn't recognize the city.

Zhang Chi walked forward slowly, passing by countless unfamiliar faces.

Suddenly, Zhang Chi stopped walking, his temple was pricked like a needle, he turned his head abruptly, and shouted at the crowd:

"Wen Shao?"

A certain figure paused.

"Wen Shao, come to my house for dinner."

"it is good……"
