If you want to rank the time in your life, then the few minutes waiting for this email should be the slowest few minutes in Lin Nan's life.

Qi Zhonghui held the phone and looked at it for a long time, his expression was gloomy from frowning, and finally sat down on the chair as if looking for support, and handed the phone to Bai Shaorong to look at, not having the strength to drive anyone away.

After a long time, the gloomy atmosphere was finally broken by a young voice.

"I... can I see it?"

Standing among Qi Yubai's family, Lin Nan was like a pruning bamboo isolated in the wilderness in the dark night. Although the wind made it shake a little, the bamboo roots did not move an inch.

Ou Chan quietly walked to her mother and uncle and took back the mobile phone, and quietly handed it to Lin Nan's mobile phone, no one stopped her.

Lin Nan took the phone, glanced at her gratefully, and then lowered his head impatiently.

Every word in the email has life and will move. It jumps out of the phone, involuntarily penetrates into Lin Nan's heart, flows into the blood, turns into a circle in the breath, and then turns into big big transparent tears. dripping from the eye sockets.

Not only can they move, but they are also very hot, like sparks from cigarette butts, and it will be a scar when touched.They are not like Qi Yubai's words, but more like the knives he pulled out from his body, pierced a few inches into the flesh, painful and deep, in order to save himself, he pulled them out with his own hands, and then buried them in the soil Inside, cover it up carefully, pretending not to be hurt at all.

As for the culprit, there was more than one present.

Qi Zhonghui is.Regardless of Qi Yubai's feelings, he used his father's identity as a spear, putting his own will above that of his son, and stabbing forward with all his strength when things went wrong, in the name of saving and persuading, in the name of persecuting and suppressing.

Bai Shaorong is.She is like her sister's spokesperson in this world, kidnapped with family affection, acting both hard and soft, vowing to watch Qi Yubai live as her sister wishes.

Lin Nan himself too.He always thought that the person he fell in love with first was pitiful, he could not love himself, his life experience was bleak, and he clinging to others was pitiful and pathetic.But he forgot, there are more than one or two poor and pathetic people in this world?Most people don't have time to look at themselves and feel sorry for themselves, just like Qi Yubai, who walks alone on the road of life with a heavy burden on his back.If he hadn't self-righteously regarded Qi Yubai as an absolute strong man, then he might have easily found the other party's embarrassment.

Today's Qi Yubai is no longer a strong man.He is very fragile, his body is full of tubes, his hands and feet cannot move, his consciousness is not yet clear, he cannot speak or even blink.He is no longer the wall protecting Lin Nan, nor the tall figure blocking him.Even if he was trampled a hundred times by a crazy horse and broke every bone in his body, Qi Yubai would no longer be able to jump off the horse's back to protect him and tell him not to be afraid.

"I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime."

Qi Yubai once said such a sentence, and thinking about it now, it really became a prophecy.

After more than two hours, Qi Yubai finally stopped the bleeding, and was transferred from the emergency room to the intensive care unit, where he will be observed for an unknown number of days.In short, he will lie peacefully in the area separated from others, temporarily unable to be reprimanded by his father, unable to ask Lin Nan to help him take off his coat, and unable to personally deliver the birthday gift that belongs to Ou Chan.

Later, when the sky was bright, the doctors and nurses shifted to work one after another.

In the corridor outside the intensive care unit, Lin Nan sat on a chair, leaning his head tiredly against the cold wall, his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.

"Lin Nan." Zhang Hong walked over from the outside, "You go back first, Director Qi will be back in a while, everyone try not to make any more unpleasant troubles."

Lin Nan looked up at Zhang Hong in front of him, and pulled out a forced smile.

"I'll leave soon. I'll sit here for a while before I leave. It's very close to him."

Zhang Hong didn't stop him anymore, sat beside him and handed him a bottle of mineral water from the vending machine.

"Drink some water, Mr. Qi will not be in danger for the time being."

"Thank you." Lin Nan took it.

The air conditioner in the hospital was very windy, and his lips were already dry and torn, with a deep bloodstain on it.The sweet water flowed down the throat and poured into the body that had been tense and frightened all night, finally bringing some relief.

"What are your plans?" Zhang Hong asked.

Lin Nan didn't know why, so he asked after a few seconds: "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Hong looked up at him, then turned his head towards the nurse's station and lifted his chin: "They should have recognized you."

Several nurses standing at the nurse's station and the reception desk were looking at this side and whispering to each other, and the mobile phones in their hands were also facing Lin Nan who was unshielded.

Lin Nan subconsciously blocked his face, but quickly realized that he took his hand away again.

"It doesn't matter." He shook his head, "If you recognize him, you can recognize him, as long as he is fine, other things are not important."

-

The news that the only son of the Qi family was seriously injured in a car accident soon made the news, and Qi Yubai's old magazine photos were reprinted in various marketing accounts and compiled into various stories.

Drugged, hurt by love, murdered by a competitor, racing in the middle of the night, you name it.

There were also people who came to ask Lin Nan on the sidelines, all with complicated thoughts.Some gloated and waited to see a joke, while some were just gossiping for fun.Even Duan Ran came to sneer a few words, saying that he was glad that he didn't really have any intersection with Qi Yubai at that time, and now it saves a lot of effort to separate the relationship.

Qi Yubai woke up the second day after being transferred to the intensive care unit, but it was a pity that Lin Nan was not there, because that half hour belonged to Father Qi, and he didn't have much time to wake up after that.

The daily visit time is only half an hour, and Qi Zhonghui acquiesced that Lin Nan could visit his son once every two days.The last time Lin Nan went there, he still couldn't see him sober, but just sat aside and watched him for half an hour.

Today is this day again, but Lin Nan has to meet someone with Zhang Hong before going to the hospital.

He resumed work last week, even though Qi Yubai hadn't passed the critical period yet.No way, he needs money, especially after he knows everything.

Less than two days after the accident, several small banks that had promised to provide part of the financial support for Benyun also backed out one by one, and Qi Zhonghui had no intention of saving Benyun.Perhaps to him, Ben Yun is really not worth mentioning, especially when Qi Yubai's life and death are uncertain.Not destroying this company with his own hands is already considered to be merciful for the sake of father and son.

But Lin Nan could understand what Ben Yun meant to Qi Yubai.

Just like Qi Yubai couldn't bear to ask him to stop his acting career back then, he also couldn't bear to let Qi Yubai's painstaking efforts over the past few years go to waste.But he guessed that even if Qi Yubai was awake now, he probably wouldn't want to speak to Qi Zhonghui.

On the third day after the accident, Lin Nan mortgaged the apartment in Bohai and the unused Mercedes-Benz underground in Benyun, and once he received the money, he would invest more in Benyun in the name of Qi Yubai.In addition, he is also very fortunate that he is usually very frugal among actors, so he can use all the two film remunerations and commercial performance fees he received in the past six months.

Even though they couldn't make up [-] million yuan, which was still far behind the operating gap of a media company, it was at least enough to pay the most urgent loan interest and employee salaries right now.

He didn't know anything about these things before, and he was trying his best to understand every minute these days. Fortunately, Zhang Hong helped him.

On the way away from the company, He Shan sat in the front row of the babysitter's car and answered a phone call, turned around and covered the receiver and asked him, "Brother Nan, Sister Jing said that the shopping website wants you at ten o'clock in the evening on the 5th of next month." Participate in a live broadcast, broadcast for two hours, and download at midnight, I checked the time and it is OK, what do you think?"

Lin Nan opened his eyes from the back row, and asked without thinking, "Is the price reasonable?"

"After tax of 60 yuan, the company's percentage is the same as before."

"Promise." Lin Nan said, "Sign a contract with them as soon as possible."

He Shan nodded: "Don't worry, I understand how to do it."

He Shan was also very busy these days, her workload almost doubled, but she never complained.On the contrary, Wei Jing, who has called Lin Nan twice, made it clear that he does not support him to accept too many fast food activities, which will damage the actor's image.But Lin Nan's attitude was extremely firm, and she finally chose to obey the artist's own wishes.

He soon arrived at the Benyun parking lot, and Zhang Hong was already waiting for him at the appointed place.

I haven't come in just a few weeks, and the parking lot has become deserted.Lin Nan got out of the car, looked around and saw no familiar person, took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Hong.Half a minute later, there were two beeps of a horn behind him.

He turned around and passed through a car, walked to an unfamiliar parking space, and froze in place for a moment.

The black car in front of me is unremarkable. It is a family style, a mid-range brand, and anyone with a famous actor can afford to drive it.But Lin Nan has seen it before, and he will never remember it wrongly, even if it is just a quick glance in the middle of the night, it is still impressive, not to mention the teddy bear pendant behind the windshield is still smiling at him.

The memory was activated in this way, and the delayed comprehension was more like a kind of slowness to him, using every effort and care of Qi Yubai to execute him.

When he got into the car in a daze, Zhang Hong asked him, "What's wrong?"

Lin Nan reached out and touched the teddy bear in front of him. It was fluffy, palm-sized, and covered with a transparent hooded raincoat and a pair of orange rain boots on its brown hair. Even the backpack on the back recognized it Seriously sewn inside the raincoat, it looks extraordinarily delicate.

"Is this your car?" he asked, letting go of the bear.

Zhang Hong nodded indifferently: "It's mine."

"Do you smoke?"

Zhang Hong didn't understand what he meant, but he still answered truthfully: "No smoking."

The carriage was extremely quiet. Lin Nan sat in the passenger seat and watched Xiao Xiong lost in thought. After a while, two tissues handed by Zhang Hong appeared in front of him.

He reached out his hand to touch his cheek, and found that the tears had already reached his chin, hanging on the skin without falling.

"Do you need me to get out of the car?" Zhang Hong asked.

Lin Nan quickly took the tissue and wiped his face carelessly a few times.Although the fundus of the eyes was red, there was a faint light in the pupils, and even the corners of the mouth were raised.

He shook his head: "It's okay, let's go. I just think this bear is cute."
