Death Progress Bar

puff.

Wearing tattered clothes, Rong Zhouzhong rolled into the sea, dodging the pursuers.

"Damn it! Let him run away!" Chaser A put away his gun and uttered angrily.

Chasing soldier B turned to look at his boss, and asked, "Do you want to go down and get him?"

The boss frowned and glanced at the calm sea, and replied: "The current in this sea area is very fast, he was injured again, sooner or later he will die, let's retreat first, killing xx is important!" After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and led a group of men gone.

A long string of messy footprints and dots of blood were left on the beach, and the waves gently surged, washing away these traces of evil little by little.I don't know how long it has passed, but there was a sudden crash on the originally calm sea, and a head popped out of the water.

It was Rong Zhouzhong, his glasses were gone, his hair was wet and stuck to his face, his face was pale, and his lips were purple.He seemed to be exhausted, he raised his head and panted heavily, his eyelids lifted and then fell, and he tried to maintain his balance with his limbs, but a big wave came and knocked him back into the sea.

There was a sound of struggle coming from under the water surface. After a long time, the sea surface was completely calm, and no one appeared again.

"Card!"

The director yelled to end the filming, and while yelling for perfection, he ordered the guards at the beach to pull Rong Zhouzhong out.

Shi Jin immediately prepared a hot drink, and immediately stepped forward to pass the hot drink to Rong Zhouzhong after he came out of the sea, faster than Rong Zhouzhong's assistant.

Rong Zhouzhong was very embarrassed at this time, his whole body was soaked, his clothes were clinging to his body, and the fabric was dirty. In order to highlight the pain of the character's death, he even put on a "death" makeup on his face, his face was miserable Damn, she looked like she was about to lie down in a coffin.He frowned, wrapped himself in a blanket casually, looked up and saw Shi Jin running towards this side in a suit of home clothes, he was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, pushed aside the staff in front of him and went forward, asked :"Why are you here?"

"I finished my homework, so I came over to watch the fun, and the director agreed to let me watch it." Shi Jin replied, putting the drink into his hand.

Rong Zhouzhong heard the words and looked towards the director, and saw that the other party was looking at this side with a hint of "You are the only one who betrays your appearance, please be sure to hold our field", his eyebrows twitched, and he suppressed the director's words. The old and unscrupulous guy had the urge to throw it into the sea, so he turned sideways for Shi Jin to block the sight of other actors in the crew, and motioned Shi Jin to follow him.

Shi Jin didn't know that he had been passed down by the crew as "the owner of the beach fascinated by Rong Zhouzhong's beauty", so he followed Rong Zhouzhong very naturally and said, "Although it is only early autumn, the temperature is not too low. , but people can easily catch cold if soaked in water for too long, so you should pay more attention.”

This is very sweet, completely different from last night's hateful.Rong Zhouzhong glanced at him sideways, tightened the hot drink in his hand, straightened his neck and drank it dry, then quickly walked to the nanny's car he parked on the edge of the beach, and opened the door to get in.

Shi Jin was curious about everything on the set, so he went up very obediently.Rong Zhouzhong took a step back and closed the car door, blocking the sight of the rest of the crew who seemed to be ignorant.

The nanny car is very spacious, the seat is big enough to be used as a bed, and there are a lot of things scattered inside. Shi Jin noticed that the centipede pillow he gave to Rong Zhouzhong was also there, and it was put in the rear compartment and spelled out with the seat on a makeshift bed.

Rong Zhouzhong also noticed this, and hurriedly threw a blanket to cover the pillow, deliberately made a little movement to attract Shi Jin's attention, and asked, "What did you tell the director when you came here?" It is so meaningful.

Shi Jin withdrew his gaze and replied, "I said I'm the owner of the beach, and I want to see how you act. Don't you change your clothes? It's hard to wear wet clothes."

He introduced himself as the owner of the beach, not Rong Zhouzhong's younger brother.

Rong Zhou was a little unhappy in the center, and replied with a frown: "No change, just now the falling into the sea shot only took a long shot, and I have to make up some close-ups and close-ups later... Actually, you can tell the director that you are mine Brother, he will take better care of you."

Shi Jin quickly waved his hand: "No, I don't need to take care of you. It's good to just watch the excitement like this. If you take care of me too much, I'll feel uncomfortable."

In other words, is it more comfortable to be the owner of the beach than to be Rong Zhouzhong's younger brother?

Rong Zhouzhong's face darkened, and seeing Shi Jin obediently sitting opposite him calmly and aggressively, he couldn't hold back, and asked: "What you said yesterday was not just playing me, right? You hate me ?”

Shi Jin didn't expect him to ask this directly. He glanced at him, nodded and shook his head honestly, and replied: "It's true that I wasn't just teasing you yesterday, but I don't really hate you. If you speak seriously, compared to I hate you, I want to know you more now."

Really understand?

Rong Zhouzhong brushed up his wet bangs with a towel, and looked at Shi Jin seriously.

"After all, I didn't have many opportunities to be alone with you in the past. You are very contradictory in my eyes. I want to know the real you." Shi Jin replied, very frankly, "When I really understand, I can finally get to know you." Decide whether it's to hate you, or something else."

"What else?" Rong Zhouzhong quickly grasped the point.

Shi Jin didn't answer, stretched out his hand to open the car door, and said, "Come on for work, I'll wait for you to come over for lunch." After speaking, he jumped out of the car and headed towards the villa.

Rong Zhouzhong couldn't stop him in time, looked at his back as he walked away, raised his hand to grab his wet hair, and choked out a sentence for a long time: "Little bastard who is playing tricks!"

……

Rong Zhouzhong didn't come to lunch. The production team was delayed for too long before, and now they are rushing to catch up. His filming took a whole day, and there was no time for him to have a special meal in the middle.

After eating lunch, Shi Jin used a telescope to look at the situation on the set. Seeing Rong Zhouzhong went into the water again surrounded by cameras, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "He is really dedicated."

Xiao Shi said: "Yeah, it's been several hours. Human beings will be destroyed after soaking in water for so long."

"The director is too meticulous." Shi Jin put down the binoculars, and simply let Xiao Si buff himself with the clairvoyance buff, and leaned on the bridge pillar to watch Rong Zhouzhong sit on the lifeboat and listen carefully to the director's lecture during the filming interval. , stuffed a nut into his mouth.

He had never seen this kind of Rong Zhouzhong, mature, serious, hardworking, steady... Those things that he thought Rong Zhouzhong would never have, unexpectedly all appeared in Rong Zhouzhong at this moment.

"Genes are such a powerful thing." He sighed again, inexplicably wanting to sigh.The more he watched, the more he understood that the success of the children of the Shi family was not achieved simply by accumulating resources and support. Most people in the world need to be better and work harder.

Businessmen, lawyers, actors, soldiers, doctors... Thinking about it carefully, among the children of the Shi family, only the original owner who was raised by Shi Xingrui himself had no achievements and showed no talent at all.When the other brothers were the same age as the original owner, they had already painted a lot of color on the canvas of their lives, laying the foundation for future glory.

"Is it sarcasm?" He muttered to himself, a little distracted.

Xiao Shi fell silent again, not answering his words.Ever since Shijin's progress bar reached 80, it has been silent for a long time, even for several days without saying a word, as if it never existed.

When alone, consciousness can easily fall into a deep sea called "memory". There are memories of the original owner, as well as his. In the past, he could always clearly distinguish which memories belonged to him and which memories belonged to him. The memory is the original owner, but recently, these memories have gradually become chaotic.

He looked at Rong Zhouzhong's serious face, and a particularly bleak picture fragment suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind.

That should be when the original owner celebrates his tenth birthday. On that day, according to the usual practice, the brothers who are scattered all over the country will gather in the luxurious big house in country M and bring many gifts to celebrate the original owner's birthday. .

The original owner was very happy that day, because his third brother, the most beautiful and dazzling, finally won the first actor in his life.He prepared a celebration gift for the third brother, ordered a celebration cake for him alone, and then blew out the candles with him side by side.

Everything was perfect until midnight when he was woken up from the bed by his third brother, and they secretly used the computer to watch the award-winning movie of his third brother.

It was a movie with a very dark theme. The protagonists were a pair of brothers, a pair of brothers who were supposed to depend on each other, but ended up killing each other.The original owner had never seen this movie, because the subject matter was too dark, Shi Xingrui refused to let him watch it.

At the beginning of the movie, the younger brother's mother suddenly disappeared. The younger brother wanted to look for it, but the father didn't allow it.Then a man who claimed to be his brother popped up and invited him to go with him to find his mother.The younger brother was lured and sneaked out of the house behind his father's back.

The journey to find her mother begins. During the journey, the younger brother is in danger many times, and the older brother rescues him many times. The two people who had lived in two places since they were young and didn't have much affection for each other gradually became closer.

The original owner watched it very seriously, and his mood fluctuated with the movie. When he saw that the two brothers finally had a heart-to-heart relationship and decided that they would live together together regardless of whether they could find their missing mother or not, they finally showed a happy smile.

"Brother is the best person in the world." As he said this, he turned his head to look at the third brother who was hugging him, but he looked into a pair of eyes that were not warm.

"Keep watching." The young third brother said, Taohua's eyes were indifferent, and he pressed the original owner's head roughly with his hands, turning his face to the computer screen.

The original owner was a little scared, but for the sake of the third brother, he gathered his thoughts and continued to watch the movie.

Most of the movie had been played, and after the warm promise, the plot suddenly took a turn for the worse.The mother has passed away, and the "murderer" catches up to her eyes, and the conspiracy is uncovered layer by layer. The originally bright and hopeful life is like a human skin drum cut by a knife. Under the soft and beautiful appearance, there is a bloody truth.

There is no brotherhood, everything is just an illusion.This is not a journey to find a mother, but a journey of revenge.At the moment when he embarked on the road to find his mother, his brother's father and his father's tribe had already been led into the abyss step by step by his brother using his brother as bait. The younger brother's person, and now that everything is revealed, the younger brother's tribe has only the younger brother left.

My mother was also killed by my brother, and her body was buried under my brother's room.

The origin of the matter is a vague curse. Because of this curse, my elder brother was tortured by the tribe and abandoned by his parents. During his long wandering life, his psychology gradually became distorted.The hatred and longing for home was so strong that he couldn't help sneaking back to his hometown, and then saw his younger brother who lived happily with his parents, and his reason completely collapsed.

——It is also a child, why should I be a curse, but he is a gift from God, an existence that has been carefully cared for and grown up!unfair!It's not fair!

The brother shouted, and the vengeance began.

At the end of the movie, the younger brother who knew the whole truth was extremely angry and heartbroken, and wanted to hug his elder brother and die together.The elder brother who was capable of pushing him away put down the murder weapon, hugged his younger brother with his backhand, and followed his younger brother into the abyss with a satisfied face.

That distorted wish to be reunited with her family is finally about to come true.

So happy, this is the last sentence left by my brother.

At the end of the movie, the ten-year-old original owner was shocked by the depressing plot and Rong Zhouzhong's performance in the play, unable to recover for a long time.

"The director said that I played the role of brother to life, Xiao Jin, do you know why I can play the role so well?"

The hair was gently stroked, and the third brother's pleasant voice was heard, but the original owner didn't dare to turn around, he was afraid that if he turned around, something would be completely broken.

"Because I am this brother, do you understand, Xiao Jin?"

At the end of the memory is this gentle whisper.The ten-year-old child couldn't stay up all night. The original owner fell asleep unknowingly in fear, and then woke up in the warm embrace of the third brother. He naturally regarded the memory of last night as a terrible nightmare and buried it deeply. bottom of my heart.

How could the third brother be the brother in the movie? The third brother is so good-looking, he looks like an angel when he is asleep, and his arms are so warm. The third brother must have been too involved in the drama last night to talk like that.

The original owner persuaded himself so subconsciously, but dimmed the color of this memory, unwilling to touch it again.

"Rong Zhouzhong is taking revenge on what the original owner said to Shi Xingrui when he was nine years old." Shi Jin came back to his senses, looked at Rong Zhouzhong who had entered the water again, and squinted his eyes, "How can you be so stingy and hold grudges like this? Bullying a ten-year-old kid." Go to hell, childish and cruel guy.

He got up, picked up the lunch he had prepared for Rong Zhouzhong, and turned back to the villa.

……

After feeding lunch to the bodyguard guarding the door, Shi Jin went into the study room, lying on the sofa and staring at Lian Jun.

Lian Jun glanced at him, speeded up the work at hand, slid the wheelchair over, stroked his hair, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's time for a nap." Shi Jin replied, demanding, "I want to sleep with you."

Shi Jin seldom takes a nap at ordinary times. He is energetic, but he always sleeps in in the morning, and can't fall asleep at all in the afternoon.

Seeing his somewhat listless expression, Lian Jun leaned over and kissed his eyes, and replied, "Okay."

The two returned to the bedroom, Shi Jin closed the French windows, drew the curtains tightly, then lifted the bed, and locked Lian Jun in his arms like an octopus.

Lian Jun hugged him back, patted his back, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Shi Jin then closed his eyes, feeling the reassuring body temperature from Lian Jun, and really fell into a deep sleep.

……

Contrary to what Shi Jin expected before falling asleep, he didn't have a dream this time, and he woke up after only half an hour of sleep.Lian Jun is still asleep, he wakes up too early every day, and usually takes about an hour to take a nap.

Shi Jin moved his body, and found that the posture of himself and Lian Jun changed to his back facing Lian Jun, and was embraced by Lian Jun.

The chest is leaning against the back, the body temperature is exchanged, and if you amplify your hearing, you can even hear Lian Jun's heartbeat.Shi Jin suddenly felt at ease, Lianjun should be the only one in this world who can hold him like this forever, never scare him, and never betray him.

People who are close to you for the benefit will definitely leave when the benefit disappears; people who are close to you for compensation will definitely leave when the compensation is enough; Will leave... Only those who simply stay for you will stay by your side no matter what your situation is.

...It was probably the greatest luck in his life to meet Lian Jun with a poor and white attitude.

An idea suddenly popped up in my mind.He turned over carefully, looked at Lian Jun's sleeping face, slowly leaned over and kissed his forehead, stayed for a few seconds, then backed away, pursed his lips and smiled, stood up carefully, and left the room with light steps.

The room became quiet, Lian Jun opened his eyes, raised his hand to touch his forehead, curled his mouth, and closed his eyes again.

……

When Shijin found Rong Zhouzhong with a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Rong Zhouzhong was holding a barrel-shaped script with half-dry hair on his head, banging on the armrest of the chair, and reprimanding a person sitting next to him. young people.

The filming on the set had all stopped. Except for the director who was discussing something with the staff, the other staff and actors were secretly looking at Rong Zhouzhong, with pale and stiff expressions, as if seeing some doomsday scene.

"What the hell is going on with you? It's just a scene where you hide in the dark and watch the teacher die but are afraid that the enemy will not go up to save it. Is it so difficult to understand! The sense of substitution, the sense of substitution, do you understand! Just imagine It was your mother who was forced into the sea by the enemy. You hid here and watched. How would you feel if the enemy was gone but you didn’t dare to go forward to rescue him! This kind of substitute imagination can’t be done, what kind of actor are you! I caught a few chickens, tied the mother chicken here, and let it watch its babies being thrown into the sea by humans, and the unwillingness, anxiety, remorse and anger it showed would be more real than yours!"

After approaching, Rong Zhouzhong's voice became clear, Shi Jin was shocked by Rong Zhouzhong's metaphor and the momentum in his tone, and stopped in his tracks.

The one being scolded by Rong Zhouzhong was a young man, he looked like he was just in his early twenties, his appearance was that kind of handsome, but his expression was a bit shy and shy, he was so scolded by Rong Zhouzhong that he didn't dare to lift his head. Very poor.

"Brother, don't be angry, I will try my best..." the young man whispered, as if even the tips of his hair were trembling.

Rong Zhouzhong became even angrier when he saw him like this, he smashed the chair a few more times, lowered his eyebrows, smoothed the line of his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Don't call me brother, I can't imagine that you and I were brought out by the same teacher. Yes! It’s useless for you to work hard, you need to realize it! Such a good script made you the male lead, the company spent so much money and prepared such a thick team for you, I’ll even come to support you Changzi, is this how you behave? You are trying to piss me off! Just now Director Wang explained all the tricks to you in such detail, did you not realize it at all!"

The set became quieter, and even the director watched over this time.

Hearing the words, the young man lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said, "Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

"Third brother!" Shi Jin hurriedly interjected into the topic, and quickly approached to smash the preserved egg and lean meat porridge onto Rong Zhouzhong's face, and said, "Here, eat while it's hot! I just cooked it and added a lot of meat. You See if you like it."

Rong Zhouzhong was stunned by the lean meat porridge. He didn't hear the young man's words clearly. When he saw him, he came in, took a deep breath to suppress his temper, pulled the porridge off his face, and tried his best to ease his expression and said: "Sorry, lunch Didn't eat, I'm a little busy here."

"It's okay, I understand." Shi Jin replied, stretched out his hand to pull the young man up, occupied his position with his own buttocks, leaned close to Rong Zhouzhong, and winked at the young man to go to the director's side, while quickly taking away the porridge bowl Open it, take out the spoon inside, stuff it into Rong Zhouzhong's hand, and say, "Eat it, eat it while it's hot, to warm your stomach."

The scent of preserved egg and lean meat porridge wafted out, and Rong Zhouzhong just used a little bread to cushion his stomach between filming, smelling this scent, he immediately felt hungry.

He glanced at the young man who didn't dare to leave, frowned and waved his hands to signal him to get out, then stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and muttered: "Why do you help him, that guy is good at everything, but he is too unmotivated. You have to be forced to do anything, don’t scold him, let him suffer, he doesn’t know how to move forward.”

Shi Jin looked at him and said nothing.

Rong Zhouzhong was a little uncomfortable, frowned and said, "What are you looking at? You thought I was too aggressive just now, did you get scared?"

Shi Jin shook his head and said, "You were quite handsome just now, with the domineering feeling of a big boss in the industry."

"Cough, cough, cough." Rong Zhouzhong was choked by saliva, buried his head in scooping up a large spoonful of porridge, stuffed it into his mouth, twisted his neck and didn't look at him, and said vaguely: "When did I stop being handsome? This face is traffic, it's—"

"Aren't you hot? This porridge just came out of the pot not long ago." Shi Jin reminded intimately.

Rong Zhouzhong's expression froze, his sense of pain was awakened, he quickly opened his mouth and took a few breaths, halfway through the inhalation, probably because he thought it was too embarrassing to do so, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and hurriedly turned his head to find a drink of water, his face and ears tingled a little. Red, I don't know if it's hot or caused by something else.

Shi Jin looked at him rarely in a hurry, and asked, "Third Brother, after the filming is over, do you want to watch a movie with me?"

Rong Zhouzhong managed to suppress his enthusiasm with water, and when he heard his invitation, he almost failed again, so he straightened his back and pretended nothing had happened, and asked casually, "What are you looking at?"

"Your famous work, "Home"."

boom.

The water bottle in Rong Zhouzhong's hand fell to the ground, he turned his head to look at Shi Jin, all the leaking expressions on his face gradually subsided, and the warm emotion in his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Want to see it?" Shi Jin asked.

"...Look." Rong Zhouzhong withdrew his gaze, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then swallowed it slowly, "I'll watch it with you, again."
