half blind

The next day, Zhang Qing woke up before the alarm clock rang, which was rare.

He slept well last night.After hanging up Zhou Nanchen's phone, he participated in an online live broadcast of a secret case crew. Although the hotel's network card was disconnected several times, he was still very happy to be able to chat with his long-lost crew colleagues.

Towards the end, the number of people in the live broadcast room soared to 50, and it almost crashed several times, but it also let Zhang Qing see the current popularity of the secret case.

Although most of the people went for the male and female protagonists, Zhang Qing was stunned by the indiscriminate bombardment when he entered the live broadcast room, and the number of flowers under his name instantly reached three digits, which made him quite Some are flattered.

However, he is so popular as a murderer, isn't it a bit inconsistent with the core values ​​of socialism?Zhang Qing thought while brushing his teeth.

After washing up, the alarm that was set on the mobile phone rang.Zhang Qing pressed the bell and opened the heavy curtains with a "swish", but the expected sunshine did not pour down.

Today is a cloudy day.

Due to getting up early, Zhang Qing and Zhou Nanchen arrived at the set almost at the same time.There were not many people at the scene, most of them were staff from the logistics department, and even Li Fan hadn't come yet.

Seeing Zhang Qing, Zhou Nanchen's expression was a little surprised, "So early?"

"Get up early, come here early."

Come early and see you sooner.Of course, Zhang Qing didn't say this.

"Well, it's better to come here earlier." Zhou Nanchen smiled, "I can also make more preparations."

"You want to make up for me?" Zhang Qing saw the makeup case in his hand.

"It's not just makeup, I'm in charge of your entire appearance today." Zhou Nanchen picked up the makeup case, "Come on."

"You still have a splint on your left hand, is it okay?" Zhang Qing was a little surprised, but still followed Zhou Nanchen into the RV.

The space in the caravan was a bit narrow, and both sides were covered with clothes. Zhou Nanchen bent over and walked in front, Zhang Qing followed him, and came to a small dressing table.

"It's okay." Zhou Nanchen put the cosmetic case on the table, "It's almost fine, and I can do some basic operations without using force."

"You should take it easy." Zhang Qing was very dissatisfied with Zhou Nanchen's nonchalant attitude, "If you get injured again, it will be much more troublesome than it is now."

Zhou Nanchen smiled, "In order not to worry you, I will also be careful."

You better be!

Even now, thinking of Zhou Nanchen rushing towards the billboard without hesitation, Zhang Qing still wanted to punch his handsome face.

"Are you wearing this suit?" Zhou Nanchen asked after looking him up and down.

"Do you want to change?" Zhang Qing looked at the clothes he was wearing today.He didn't pay special attention to his clothes, he just wore the sweater he usually wears, "This one seems to be a bit cheap for Chen Han."

Zhou Nanchen looked at Zhang Qing, did not respond, but suddenly took off his coat.

Zhou Nanchen was wearing a dark jacket today. Before Zhang Qing could react, the jacket was draped over his shoulders.

"Put it on and have a look."

"okay."

The jacket still carried Zhou Nanchen's body temperature, and the moment he put it on, it seemed that his whole body was wrapped in his breath.

Zhou Nanchen took two steps back, showing a satisfied look, "Very good, that's it."

Zhang Qing took a look in the mirror. The jacket and his sweater were paired together, which gave him a trendy and stylish sense. He couldn't help but sigh that Zhou Nanchen did have his own unique design vision. No wonder Li Fan wanted to poach such an amateur like him. Come and work.

"Sit down and put on your makeup."

Zhou Nanchen opened the makeup box, and skillfully patted the fragrant cosmetics on Zhang Qing's face.As long as Zhang Qing tilts his head, he can see Zhou Nanchen's serious gaze in his dark eyes.

Sometimes he gets very close, fingertips caressing his skin, and the warm breath is close at hand.

The narrow space was filled with his breath, besides the warmth, there seemed to be a sense of numbness flowing through his heart.

Zhou Nanchen sighed, and the movements of his hands stopped, "Can you stop doing this?"

"How?"

"Don't keep staring at me like that."

"But you are right in front of my eyes, I don't care who you are looking at." Zhang Qing said innocently.

"Can't you play with a mobile phone like other actors?"

"That won't work, that would be disrespectful to the makeup artist." Zhang Qing had a serious face and suppressed a smile in his heart.He suddenly discovered that teasing Zhou Nanchen was really interesting.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Nanchen sighed, "If you do this again, I won't be able to bear it."

Can't help what?

Before Zhang Qing could speak, there was a warm touch on his lips.

Zhou Nanchen lowered his head and kissed him, it was a quick, light kiss, as if returning to a night in high school when he escaped from self-study, they bypassed the patrolling security guards and flashing street lights, and carefully kissed each other under the moonlight.

Zhou Nanchen left slowly, but kept his eyes on Zhang Qing, the burning heat in his eyes made Zhang Qing feel a little dazed for a while.

About two seconds later, Zhang Qing suddenly came back to his senses.

"Damn, Zhou Nanchen, you're really brave!" Zhang Qing blushed immediately and covered his lips, "What if someone comes in?"

"Hey, don't—" Zhou Nanchen suddenly raised his voice.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qing put down his hand in confusion.

"Forget it, it's late." Zhou Nanchen sighed, "Look at your hands."

Zhang Qing looked at his palm, there was a faint circle of liquid foundation on it, and he couldn't stop laughing, "Aren't you afraid of eating it by yourself when you kiss?"

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Nanchen said calmly, while touching up Zhang Qing's makeup.

"why?"

"I've already remembered it."

"what?"

"The shape of your lips."

Hold!Zhang Qing's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"...You don't respond." Zhang Qing rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and muttered softly.

Finally, in the overly ambiguous atmosphere, Zhang Qing's styling was finally finished.When he got out of the RV, many actors had already arrived on the set.

"Finished?" Duanmurou watched him come out and handed him breakfast.

"Yeah." Zhang Qing was in a good mood, and posed a pose to his manager, "How is it?"

"Not bad." Duanmu Rou rolled his eyes, "But the jacket you are wearing belongs to Ah Chen, right?"

"It just fits, so I put it on for him." Zhou Nanchen looked around, "Is Li Fan here? I still have work to hand over to him."

"Come on, I'm calling over there." Duanmu Rou pointed in a direction, and Zhou Nanchen walked in that direction.

Looking at Zhou Nanchen's back, Zhang Qing felt a little lost for a moment.

When his eyes were still unclear, Zhou Nanchen would always take care of him on the set, and he had never gone so "without hesitation".

However, it was precisely because of this that Zhang Qing had to heal his eyes.What he wanted was a relationship, not Zhou Nanchen's care out of guilt.

Only by standing side by side with him as an equal can it be possible to see the real him and know the buried truth of the past.

"Is Chen Lou still here?" Zhang Qing turned to ask Duanmurou.

"It doesn't seem to be here." Duanmurou looked around, "This is really strange, Jia's number has arrived, but she hasn't arrived yet."

At this moment, Li Fan who was standing on the phone suddenly raised his voice, the volume was so loud that everyone on the set could hear him clearly.

"What did you say?"

Both Zhang Qing and Duanmurou were taken aback, and looked at Li Fan. Zhou Nanchen, who was about to look for Li Fan, also stopped in his tracks.

I saw Li Fan's face was serious, and he tightened his fingers holding the phone, "Where did you say it was?... the roof of the hotel, right? When is it..."

After being silent for a while, Li Fan took a deep breath, "Okay, thank you, I understand." He hung up the phone.

For a while, no one dared to speak out, and they all looked at Li Fan cautiously.

After Li Fan hung up the phone, he didn't speak for a few seconds, and then he picked up the loudspeaker, "Let's call it a day, I'm sorry to make everyone come here for nothing."

"Call work?" Someone immediately called out, "What's going on?"

Li Fan paused, "It's like this, Xu Xiaoxiao...Chen Lou, she can't come today."

"Then can't we film Chen Han's scene first?" Zhou Nanchen asked.

"She..." Li Fan put down the speaker and picked it up again, "That's right, the call just now was from the police. Chen Lou was found jumping off the top floor of the hotel."

Zhang Qing's brain buzzed, and he didn't even know when he stood up from the chair.

A group of people exploded immediately, and the noisy discussion gave Zhang Qing a headache.

The filming of the scene failed, but none of the people present could make it.Not long after, the police came to the crew for questioning.

However, the staff who had little relationship with Chen Lou were soon let go, and finally only the director, assistant director and Zhang Qing were left.

"Mr. Zhang, please come here alone." Finally, a criminal policeman wrote something down in his notebook and raised his head and said to Zhang Qing.

"Okay." Zhang Qing's heart sank, and his head was a mess.

At this moment, Zhang Qing's palm was suddenly squeezed tightly.He raised his head, it was Zhou Nanchen.

Zhou Nanchen didn't say anything, just looked at him and nodded. Even so, Zhang Qing still felt that his heavy heart was lighter.

"Mr. Zhang Qing, is it?" the criminal policeman asked.

Zhang Qing nodded nervously.

"Are you an actor acting opposite Miss Chen Lou?" The detective seemed to see that Zhang Qing was too nervous, so he smiled, "I've also been watching "Secret Case" recently, and Yin Wen's acting is really good."

"Thank you." Zhang Qing could only show a forced smile, "Chen Lou, she..."

"That's right. At six o'clock this morning, she was found by the sanitation worker in the back alley of the hotel. It was estimated that she fell from the top floor."

Zhang Qing's body froze, "I found out at six o'clock in the morning, then she..."

The detective nodded, "When he was discovered, he had already died for a long time."

Zhang Qing felt a tightness in his chest, and it became difficult to breathe.

"May I ask when was the last time you saw Chen Lou?"

"Yes...yesterday afternoon." Zhang Qing's head was still a little confused, he tried his best to recall, "Yesterday at noon our crew went out for dinner, and I walked back with her."

"When is it?"

"After two o'clock in the afternoon, around 02:30."

"Are you staying in a hotel with her?"

"Not here, but the general direction is the same. And I had a dispute with her yesterday, so I left halfway ahead of schedule."

"What kind of dispute?"

Although the policeman's tone was calm, questions were thrown one after another.

Zhang Qing didn't answer, but asked, "Did she be pushed down?"

"The investigation of the scene has not been completed, but judging from the current situation, the possibility of suicide is relatively high." The criminal police said.

"Suicide?" Zhang Qing repeated mechanically.

"Yes, but we cannot rule out any possibility." The detective asked again, "What kind of dispute?"

……

Zhou Nanchen, like other logistics members of the crew, was told to leave after only a few simple questions.But he didn't leave, and silently moved a chair to sit with Duanmurou, waiting for Zhang Qing to finish his questioning.

From here, you can see that he is still talking to the criminal police, but you can't hear what he said specifically.

"How could such a thing happen suddenly!" Duanmurou couldn't help but sighed for the third time, "It happens at such a critical moment..."

"Damn it, bad star!" Li Fan, who was smoking beside him, cursed, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it viciously with his feet, "The filming is halfway through, this is good, there are no people left!"

Zhou Nanchen didn't speak, but looked in Zhang Qing's direction.The criminal policeman said something to Zhang Qing, he nodded and stood up from his chair.

"It seems to be over." Zhou Nanchen said.

Zhang Qing walked this way, his face was full of exhaustion.Duanmurou hurriedly stood up to greet her, "Do you want some water?"

"Well, thank you." Zhang Qing took the water glass and took a few sips with his head up. Because he drank too fast, some drops of water slid down to his Adam's apple.

"Don't worry, slow down." Zhou Nanchen frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang Qing worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Qing shook his head, "After asking, we can go."

"What's going on?" Duanmurou asked, "Why did you ask me for so long?"

Zhang Qing took a deep breath and roughly told the two of them about the information that the criminal police had provided him.

Duanmurou took a deep breath, "Dead?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said in a low voice: "Besides, Chen Lou has been missing since yesterday afternoon. I...may be the last person to see her."

"What?" Duanmurou couldn't help raising her voice, "What did the police ask you? Could it be that they suspect you—"

"Sister Rou." Zhou Nanchen stopped Duanmu Rou from continuing to ask, "Let him be quiet."

"Okay, okay. Let's go, I'll take you two back first." Duanmurou sighed.

Until sitting on the clean single bed in the hotel, Zhang Qing was still in a daze.

"I made some coffee, do you want to drink it?" Zhang Qing didn't come back to his senses until Zhou Nanchen's voice sounded in his ears.

"coffee?"

"It's instant coffee. I bought it from the vending machine downstairs. It's nothing special." Zhou Nanchen sat next to Zhang Qing and passed the cup over.

Zhang Qing didn't say anything, took the coffee and drank it in small sips.

The instant coffee had a sweet, greasy flavor that he didn't like, but he drank all the coffee in the cup in one go.

The whole mouth is filled with the taste of cheap essence, and the mind is also much clearer.

"Why didn't you go back to your hotel?" Zhang Qing asked in a low voice.

"There is no vending machine downstairs in my hotel." Zhou Nanchen raised the coffee bag in his hand.

Zhang Qing glared at him.

Zhou Nanchen smiled, took a pillow from the bed, and stuffed it into Zhang Qing's arms for him to hug, "Is it cold? Let me turn up the air conditioner."

Only then did Zhang Qing realize that he was holding his arms again unconsciously.

"Okay." Zhang Qing lowered his head, took a deep breath, and buried his face in the pillow.
