Death Progress Bar

When Rong Zhouzhong finished filming, the time had turned to 01:30 in the morning.He hurriedly changed his soaked clothes, bid farewell to the crew members who gathered to celebrate his filming, and walked quickly towards the villa.

The assistant who knew a little bit of the inside story hurriedly followed after seeing this, handed him a towel and said, "Ah Zhong, it's so late, Mr. Shi should have gone to bed, let's go tomorrow, you've been soaking in the water for so long, It’s best to take a hot bath as soon as possible to get rid of the cold on your body, and wipe your hair, because it’s windy at night, and you’ll catch a cold.”

"He's still waiting for me." Rong Zhouzhong declined his towel without even turning his head, "I'm fine, please tell Director Wang for me, it's too late today, so there's no need to celebrate, wait until everyone has time I'll treat everyone to dinner when I'm free." After speaking, he passed the security guards outside the long bridge and walked onto the long bridge in two or three steps.

The assistant wanted to follow, but was stopped by the security personnel. He could only watch Rong Zhouzhong walk away, and couldn't help scratching his hair with a headache.

"What the hell is going on..." After so long, it was the first time he saw Rong Zhouzhong showing such a serious and heavy expression, and he always felt a little worried.

"Nothing will happen." He muttered, and waited in circles for a while, but before Rong Zhouzhong came out, he resignedly turned and walked towards the crew.

……

When he was halfway across the long bridge, Rong Zhouzhong saw Shi Jin.The other party tilted his head and lay on a rattan table in the back of the balcony, as if he had fallen asleep.

Are you still waiting, silly?

He frowned and thought in this way, his heart that had been tense all night suddenly became more at ease, and there were many words like "ah, I am also waiting for someone" "as expected of Shi Jin" "the most stupid child of the Shi family is probably this One's gone"...thoughts.

His footsteps stopped unknowingly. He stood in the distance staring at Shi Jin's figure for a while, then suddenly started to run. His sleeping face.

The picture of a big man falling asleep lying on a table full of snack bags is really not eye-catching, but Rong Zhouzhong took it very seriously.

When Shi Jin is asleep...it looks much more harmless than when he is awake.He will no longer show all kinds of expressions that make people itchy or sad, and he will no longer say things that make people want to beat him but also want to hurt him, and he will not look at him with eyes that are dragged by memories. Come here, disturb one's conscience.

"Sure enough, he's a troublemaker." Rong Zhouzhong whispered, glanced at the snack bags on the table, saw that they were all given to Shi Jin by himself before, tilted his head and raised his hand to rub his forehead, closed his eyes forcefully, and suddenly sat down on his buttocks. to the ground.

Children, if you eat so much at once, you won't be afraid of being stuffed to death.

He put down his hand and looked towards Shi Jin again.

After sitting down, he saw Shi Jin's face half buried in his arms more clearly.It was a face that bore no resemblance to him, and it was a face that he had taken for granted that a villain should have.But what's ridiculous is that after the truth was revealed, it seemed that he was the one who played the villain.

younger brother.

His mind flashed Xiang Ao Ting's stern and serious face, and Li Jiuzheng's unflattering dead face, his face darkened, and finally his eyes fell on Shi Jin who seemed to be more obedient after falling asleep.

Brother.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, suddenly reached out his hand, pinched Shi Jin's cheek exposed from his arm, and slowly pulled it out.

Shi Jin opened his eyes in a blink of an eye, his eyes were dazed for two seconds, and he quickly regained consciousness. Without even thinking about it, a grabbing hand grabbed Rong Zhouzhong's wrist that was in front of him, pinched it hard, and twisted it in the opposite direction.

"Aww!" Rong Zhouzhong howled out in pain.

Shi Jin's eyes widened in shock from the yelling, and he really woke up. He sat up straight and turned his head to observe his surroundings. The memory before going to bed gradually came back, and he looked down at the man who was sitting on the ground with a distorted face, trying to go back. Rong Zhouzhong, who was pulling his hand, was speechless for two seconds, let go of his hand and said, "Are you stupid to attack the police at night. If I use more force, your wrist will be useless."

"What policeman, just a freshman..." Rong Zhouzhong retorted with a wrinkled face while rubbing his wrist.

Are the police the point?Isn't the point about night raids?

Shi Jin loved him for two seconds with the eyes of caring for the mentally retarded, bent down and grabbed his wrist, and helped him break it back and forth neatly, then let go of his hand and stood up, first glanced at the blanket that had slipped on the chair, then at The screen on the side of the balcony was used to block the wind, and his eyes warmed up, before finally looking in the direction of the crew, he stretched a little.

"It seems that your filming is over, what time is it?" He stretched his waist and looked down at Rong Zhouzhong.

Rong Zhouzhong waved his wrist that was no longer in pain, glanced at him, and found that the angle of view was wrong, he hurriedly withdrew his expression and stood up as if nothing had happened, trying to save a little image, saying: "It's almost two o'clock in the morning Well, in fact, you don't have to wait for me, I..."

"What are you talking about, two o'clock in the morning?!" Shi Jin interrupted him with an exclamation, turned around and ran to the French window of the master bedroom without thinking, stretched out his hand and carefully opened the French window, and poked his head in to take a peek.

Lian Jun was lying on the bed with his back to the French window, as if he was already fast asleep.

Shi Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and was very pleased that Lian Jun didn't insist on staying up late with him. Just as he was about to leave the room to let Lian Jun take a good rest, a head stuck out from behind.

"When you were lying on your stomach outside, he could sleep in the room with peace of mind? How could he—"

Shi Jin's expression changed, and he slapped Rong Zhouzhong's approaching face with his backhand, turned around and pushed him out, carefully closed the French window, and warned: "Speak quietly, don't wake him up."

Rong Zhouzhong's face was dark: "What are you going to do with a boyfriend who doesn't care about you so much? Forget about dumping him. I'll introduce you to a better one."

"Do you want to be beaten?" Shi Jin raised his fist with a murderous look, "Mr. Lian is the best, anyone who is prettier than him is not as gentle as him, anyone who is more gentle than him is not as good-looking as him, and anyone who is more gentle and good-looking than him is not as gentle as him." He is smart, more gentle, good-looking, and smarter than him, and he doesn’t like me as much as he does. I’ll introduce someone better, and I’ll introduce you to Hades, believe it or not.”

Rong Zhouzhong felt pain when he saw his fists flashing, he gritted his teeth and said, "I think you have been bewitched by him, you little bastard who doesn't know good people..."

"Huh?" Shi Jin turned his fist threateningly.

Rong Zhouzhong aggrieved and shut up, angry at his "rebellion", he said angrily, "Didn't you want to watch a movie? Do you want to watch it tonight? If not, I'll go back to sleep!"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

By the way, movies.

Rong Zhouzhong took a look at Shi Jin, saw that his expression had become alienated and indifferent in an instant, he scratched his hair irritably, looked sideways at the screen beside the balcony and stopped talking.

Shi Jin also slowly lowered his fist, and said, "Look, see sooner, sooner you will be relieved."

Rong Zhouzhong looked at him from the corner of his eye, moved his lips, and wanted to ask him what he wanted to get rid of, but swallowed the words again, and just said: "Okay, let's see."

……

The two walked around to the living room and entered the villa through the balcony door of the living room.

Shi Jin arranged for Rong Zhouzhong to sit down on the sofa, fetched him a towel and a hair dryer, poured a cup of hot drink in front of him, and said, "Dry your hair first, then drink something hot to warm your body. Take the cake from the kitchen."

Hearing the word cake, Rong Zhouzhong's fingers stiffened, and he nodded in response.

After Shi Jin left, Rong Zhouzhong looked at the hot drink in front of him and the plugged-in hair dryer on the coffee table, covered his face with a towel, and let out a sigh of relief.

It's been a long night...

……

His hair was dry, the hot drink was empty, Rong Zhouzhong slumped on the sofa and looked in the direction of the kitchen, so sleepy that he almost got up, but he couldn't see Shi Jin's figure turning out from the kitchen.

Could it be that he fell asleep in the kitchen?

He frowned, thinking "may I not have to watch a movie today", got up and walked towards the kitchen.

It's a pity that the goddess of luck didn't favor him today. After turning the corner, through the half-open door of the kitchen, he could clearly see that Shi Jin was standing in front of the small kitchen table wearing an apron, bowing his head and concentrating on giving an eighth Spread cream on an inch-sized cake, and the movements look decent.

The picture was too warm and homely, Rong Zhouzhong instinctively took out his phone and recorded this moment.

Hearing the voice, Shi Jin raised his head, seeing that Rong Zhouzhong was coming, he sped up his movements a little, and said, "Sorry, I seem to have been delayed for too long, and I'm almost ready, please wait a little longer."

Rong Zhouzhong regained his senses, put away his phone and opened the door to lean in, leaned over to look at the slightly rough cake in his hand, and asked, "You made it?"

"En." Shi Jin nodded, put away the cream, picked up the fruit plate, and began to spread the fruit on the spreaded cream.

Rong Zhouzhong looked at his anxious movements and asked, "Why did you do it yourself?"

Shi Jin carefully spread the sliced ​​strawberries around the edge of the cake, and replied without raising his head: "You just said in the afternoon that you want to watch a movie tonight, I was thinking that if I ordered the cake outside, I might not be able to make it in time. Just make it yourself. I'm average in craftsmanship, so don't hold it against me."

Rong Zhouzhong replied: "Why would I dislike it... Is it troublesome to make cakes?"

"It's not too troublesome. The cake embryo was baked and prepared before. Now I just need to make some sandwiches and decorations on the surface. Actually, it's also my problem. I accidentally fell asleep, otherwise this would have been done long ago. Well, you can eat directly when you come." Shi Jin replied, put down the plate of fruit, picked up the small bowl of almonds and the large sieve for sifting almonds, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the kitchen aunt for helping me Prepare all the required materials in advance, otherwise this will not be able to be done in a while."

The almonds were evenly spread on the cake surface through the sieve, Shi Jin put down the bowl containing the almonds with satisfaction, picked up the chocolate sauce, drew an ugly smiling face on the almonds, and took out a few chocolates to decorate carefully Insert it on the top of the laid almonds, and finally make a slight adjustment, and the cake is completely done.

so ugly.

This was Rong Zhouzhong's first thought after seeing the finished product.

But it should taste good.

This was his second thought after smelling the sweet aroma of the cake.

The most important thing about a cake is the taste, the appearance doesn't matter, so this cake should be considered pretty, after all, the materials are so "solid".

This was the third thought that came to his mind after seeing Shi Jin's expression full of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"Let's go to the second floor." Shi Jin took off his apron and looked at Rong Zhouzhong.

Rong Zhouzhong looked at him, nodded, and took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the cake while he was turning around to hang up his apron.

……

The audio-visual room on the second floor is very spacious, with a total of eight viewing seats.Shi Jin and Rong Zhouzhong chose the first right row of seats on the left and the first left row of seats on the right. There was an aisle between them, which was just wide enough to fit a small table.Shi Jin set up the table and put the cake and drinks from the refrigerator on it.

Rong Zhouzhong watched him busy, his mind was empty, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to think about anything at all.

Everything was ready, Shi Jin cut off the cake neatly under Rong Zhouzhong's sharp eyes, then took out a piece, put it in a small plate and stuffed it into Rong Zhouzhong's hand, took a piece for himself, and turned off the audio-visual directly Turn on the lights in the room and turn on the instruments.

Rong Zhouzhong looked at the "solid" cake with a double-layer sandwich in his hand, with a funny expression on his face.

Just, just cut it?Is it as simple as that?The cake that was finally made, just cut like this?Are you so unappreciative!

Ow.

Not only did he cut it up, Shi Jin also ate a big mouthful.

Seeing this scene from the corner of his eye, Rong Zhou felt inexplicably sore. He couldn't bear to look at the corpse of the cake on the small table, so he turned his gaze to the screen.

The playback instrument was running, the screen went on and off, and then the picture appeared.From the current point of view, some nostalgic movie scenes appeared on the screen. The young Rong Zhouzhong was wearing a strange national costume, standing on the highest point of the hillside, looking coldly at the tribe that was holding a celebration at the bottom of the slope, slowly Slowly closing his eyes, he fell back onto the grass.

boom.

The screen suddenly went dark and the name of the movie appeared.

The atmosphere became inexplicably depressed.

"Actually, the box office of this movie is very bad." Rong Zhouzhong couldn't help but break the silence, took a bite of the cake, held it up in front of him, looked at it, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth, "This kind of movie is like this, and it has a good reputation." , but the box office is not good, it is only suitable for winning prizes."

Shi Jin took another bite of the cake, but didn't answer his words.

Don't want to talk?

Rong Zhouzhong lowered his eyes, suddenly regretting watching this movie.

The screen came back on, and the younger brother who was raised silly and sweet appeared.

"How is this actor doing now?" Shi Jin suddenly asked.

Rong Zhouzhong was stunned for a moment, looked sideways at him, and replied, "It seems that he was arrested for taking drugs. I only worked with him once, so I don't know much about what happened to him afterwards."

"So in the real world, it's your 'brother' who won." Shi Jin commented, keeping his eyes on the movie screen, as if he just said this casually.

Rong Zhouzhong's hand holding the fork tightened. Looking at his younger brother who was happily playing at the celebration in the movie, an inexplicable irritability rose in his heart, and he said mercilessly: "I shouldn't win him? I grew up He looks better than him, has a stronger background than him, has better acting skills than him, has a higher IQ than him, has a longer-term vision than him, and even works harder than him. This kind of waste who can't find a way out and paralyzes himself with drugs deserves to lose for a lifetime! "

Shi Jin was choked by his shameless boasting, and looked sideways at him.

Rong Zhouzhong gave him a vicious look, and said fiercely, "What are you looking at, isn't what I said the truth?"

It's true, but...

"You have a thick skin." Shi Jin commented.

Seeing that he was finally willing to speak, Rong Zhouzhong felt relieved, snorted coldly, forked another large piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously while saying, "I can probably understand what you mean by asking me to watch this movie." , You said I was stingy, and where did you go with your generosity, didn't you just scare you when you were ten years old, how can you remember it for so many years?"

"As for remembering so many years?" Shi Jin couldn't believe it, looked at him for granted, and retorted, "You bastard who bullies children, what right do you have to call me stingy? Is that just scaring you? Do you understand the shadow of childhood? !"

"What's the matter, I deserve to let you go? Can my shadow of youth do it!" Rong Zhouzhong sat up straight, and said with a machine gun, "I finally won an award, and the box office is miserable. I still have to squeeze Take time out to celebrate your birthday! I’m so busy that I only sleep three hours a day, and I have to celebrate your birthday, should I? You still have to be disgusting and I pull me to blow out the candles with you, do you know that? Seeing Shi Xingrui's fatherly face made me sick, I'm tired, okay, I just wanted to sleep!"

Shi Jin felt that he was simply unreasonable, so he burst into an unknown fire, and said, "Disgusting? Is it disgusting if I kindly celebrate you? Since you are so sleepy, then go to sleep! If you don't want to come, don't come, I will take a knife Forced you to come? You said you want to sleep, so what are you doing in my room in the middle of the night, you go to sleep! It's better to sleep to death!"

"If it wasn't for Shi Xingrui holding my mother's company funds, you think I would be happy to give you some damn birthday! When it comes to sleeping, I'm even more angry, that old bastard Shi Xingrui arranged to heat my guest room It’s actually broken! I’m so cold that I can’t sleep at all, do you know how irritable I am, do you know how sleepy I am! Big brother and they are also a bunch of animals, I knocked on the door for a long time and answered, and they all locked the door. I only went to your room because of a solution, who made your room the most spacious, the bed the most comfortable, and the heating the most!"

Rong Zhouzhong was talking and thinking of the scene at that time, his hair was going to stand on end with anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "I went to your room, and you slept on your stomach like a pig, I'm afraid Frozen to death and you sleep like a pig!"

Shi Jin: "..."

"That's why you called me up in the middle of the night and asked me to watch a movie?" Shi Jin almost choked to death on this realistic reason that had no sense of beauty at all.

"Otherwise?" Rong Zhouzhong asked back, tightening his grip on the cake fork, as if he was going to tear someone into pieces, "You have been tormenting me for so long, why can't I sleep well, but you Sleeping like a pig!"

Shi Jin held his breath and looked at him, finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up and covered his face with the cake in his hand.

slap.

Cream and fruit smeared Rong Zhouzhong's face.

Rong Zhouzhong was stunned, his eyes widened, he looked at Shi Jin in disbelief, his expression twisted and turned, and finally he suddenly became ruthless, grabbed the unfinished cake with his bare hands, and rushed towards Shi Jin.

Shi Jin was startled and hurriedly got up to hide away.

"Come here." Rong Zhouzhong threatened, and confronted Shi Jin across two rows of seats.

Shi Jin calmed down a little after his brain congested, glanced at his funny face with cream on his face, a little guilty and wanted to laugh, hid behind the chair and said: "I won't go, you want to hurt me."

"Ha!" Rong Zhou laughed angrily, and said irritably, "Yes, I'm going to kill you! In my dreams, I want to tear up that stupid smile on your face, I want to give you the knife, I want to have a good time with you Fight, I want to say the most vicious things to you, tell you the cruelest truth, and let you stop facing me with that stupid look! Who cares that you make a cake with your own hands, who cares about the gift you gave you Now, who cares if you are sad! You hate me, you hate me! Who wants to treat you as a younger brother? Isn’t it the most suitable and easy for us to simply hate each other in this position? Since you are so afraid of me harming you, then why do you lean over here? What do you want to change! How could Shi Xingrui raise a son like you who is nothing like us! You are a spoiled young master, Why don't you be self-willed, why don't you be reasonable, do you have Shi Xingrui's dirty and ruthless blood flowing in your body!"

Shi Jin was startled by his sudden long series of words, stared at him for a few seconds, and couldn't help asking: "You are not interested, then why didn't you push it away, why didn't you refuse?"

Rong Zhouzhong was taken aback for a moment, the sudden outburst of emotions quickly fell back, he was dumb for a few seconds, and replied: "Of course it is to stabilize Shi Xingrui, if you offend him, my mother and I will be finished..."

"Then why are you still yelling here? The choice is made by you. What does it matter to me?" Shi Jin slowly frowned, and asked coldly, "You coax me with false concern and lure me close to you. I have accumulated good feelings for more than ten years, but now I am accusing me of not seeing through the truth earlier, accusing me of not hating you, what do you think of me, a robot that can empty out feelings at will? You are relaxed, first look after yourself Selfishly hate me for using me, and now you are selfishly trying to compensate me to please me, have you ever asked me if I want it? You ask me why I rely on the past, and what I want to change, it was obviously you guys in the past ten years I got close to me in order to use me, and then I got close to you, isn’t it just to survive? I have to find out the truth, I have to find out who is behind the scenes, I have to live, I just did the same thing as you did back then, I I just got close to you to survive, what are you complaining about? If life could be restarted, do you think I want to be your younger brother?"

boom.

It was as if a huge hammer had been smashed head-on, Rong Zhouzhong suddenly raised his head, and saw Shi Jin standing on the other side and looking at this side coldly, as if he was not going to get any closer, his heart tightened, his mind was still Before he could react, his body had already rushed over and grabbed Shi Jin's wrist tightly.

"No." He said, with a trace of stubbornness in his eyes that he didn't realize, "You are everyone's younger brother, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
