Director Chi left in a hurry, leaving only Shen Jiezhu and Quan Zhilong in the ward. Because the sunlight was too glaring, half of the bed curtain was pulled up, but there was still orange light falling on the bed, making the whole bed warm.

While stretching, Shen Jiezhu looked at the apple for a few more seconds, and Quan Zhilong sat next to her and started peeling the apple.

He seems to do this kind of thing often and his skills are quite good.

Shen Jiezhu had nothing to do, so she lay down beside him and stretched out her fingers to touch the bracelet on his wrist. This was the birthday gift she gave him. Now when she looked at every bead on the bracelet, she could remember the painful experience of DIYing it herself.

Fortunately, the finished product is not bad. It seems that I am quite experienced in this area, hehe~

Shen Jiezhu buried half of her face in the quilt, her exposed eyes smiled into crescent shapes, the corners of her lips were raised, the shallow dimples on her cheeks were filled with a faint red, and her eyelashes moved up and down like a small brush.

Quan Zhilong's eyes moved slightly and fell on her face, as if he had already seen the furry fox ears on her head.

I couldn't help but laugh and tease her: "Do you feel that you have great skills and are very talented?"

Sister Shen raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows proudly: "That's right, I'm just a novice, but I did it so well for the first time, I'm definitely a talented player kk!"

Now that I am no longer an artist, I have another way to make a living. Perfect~

"Really..." Quan Zhilong paused and teased her deliberately, "But why do I feel that it looks good because it is worn on my hand?"

"Ah! Quan Zhilong!"

Shen Jiezhu straightened her back instantly, looking like a threatening little cat, her eyes wide open: "I won't give it to you anymore, give the bracelet back to me!"

"Hey, Shen Jiezhu!" Quan Zhilong imitated her tone, "I am your senior, you should call me Oppa, huh? What's wrong? I told you to rest and you didn't listen. Now you are stupid to begin with, and now you don't even recognize Oppa!"

"Don't listen, give me back my bracelet!"

Shen Jiezhu spread out her hands and beckoned at him for something.

Quan Zhilong smiled and said softly, "Once you give a gift, you can't take it back. Now the bracelet has grown together with me, if you really want it..."

He lowered his eyelids and placed his hand in his palm: "I will just pack myself up and send it to you!"

"Tsk, I don't want that!"

Shen Jiezhu deliberately shook off his hand. Quan Zhilong saw that he was thrown away and had a hurt expression, covering his heart: "You actually treat Oppa like this, Dafa, ah, it really, really hurts me!"

Shen Jiezhu was lying on the bed hugging her pillow and laughing. She excitedly took out her phone to take a picture of him: "Just keep this expression, yes! I must take a picture to show you how fake this expression is!"

Shen Jiezhu took a quick photo and handed the phone to Quan Zhilong. She said earnestly with a senior attitude: "Hey, Gu Zhilong, come and take acting lessons with me. How can you act in a movie with such acting skills in the future~"

"Teacher Shen, can you teach me? I will definitely study hard!"

Shen Jiezhu cleared her throat solemnly: "No, I like smart students~"

"Huh? So I'm stupid?"

Shen Jiezhu pursed her lips, spread her hands, and looked innocent: "I didn't say anything, don't accuse me."

"You're laughing like that, and you still accuse me of wronging you?" Kwon Ji-yong stretched out a hand to tickle the itchy flesh on her waist.

Shen Jiezhu was most afraid of this. She fell backwards while trying to hold his hand, shrinking her body as hard as she could, wishing she could wrap herself in the quilt and roll under the bed.

"Hahaha, I was wrong, I was really wrong, Oppa, you are the best, haha, I am so hungry, when can I eat an apple?"

Hearing that she was hungry, Kwon Ji-yong withdrew his hand, picked up the knife that had just been placed on the table, and continued peeling the apple.

Shen Jiezhu lay on the quilt and watched for a while. After making sure that the danger was over, she came over happily and said, "Oppa, you know, you really look like a good wife like this!"

Quan Zhilong paused, and Shen Jiezhu immediately changed her words, very unsure: "I'm just kidding, our Oppa is a real man, a super handsome real man!"

As she said this, she gave him a thumbs up.

Quan Zhilong suppressed his laughter, hummed softly, and continued to peel the apple.

His technique was smooth, and the peeled fruit skin never stopped, circling like a wave. Shen Jiezhu looked at his hands, a little worried, her brows wrinkled more and more tightly: "Peel slowly, be careful with your hands, it looks dangerous."

There were several times when the knife almost cut his hand, but fortunately he stopped.

Quan Zhilong felt warm in his heart, and he couldn't help but slow down his movements, and his voice softened, whispering: "No, I am the best apple peeler in YG, Zhuzhu, you have to believe in the ability of the best~"

Shen Jiezhu curled her lips and said in disbelief: "Really? Is it really that amazing? I saw on the Internet that apple peels can be peeled into roses. They are so beautiful!"

She described it to him with her hands and feet, her white fingers drawing beautiful arcs.

Like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky, it is beautiful for a moment but eternal.

"It seems to be like this first, then like this, and then it moves in circles, and it becomes the shape of a rose. A super, super beautiful red rose!"

When Shen Jiezhu said these words, her eyes were shining. Quan Zhilong stared at her eyebrows, and her eyes were filled with joy and curiosity, imprinted with his own appearance.

Quan Zhilong could not help but stare in amazement, speechless.

Finally, it was Shen Jiezhu who shook his hand before he responded.

"Oppa! What were you thinking about just now?"

"Ahem..." Quan Zhilong lowered his head and coughed, "I was thinking about the feel of the rose. Yes, don't you like it? I know so many kinds. I need to think about it..."

"Do you remember it now?"

"I remembered it, but I've almost finished peeling it. Next time, next time I will definitely peel a perfect rose for you. Open your mouth and eat the apple."

Shen Jiezhu wanted to say something, but just as she opened her mouth, a huge apple blocked her mouth: "Hmm."

Forget it, I'll just do it next time. It's a waste of food to peel too much, so forget it.

Shen Jiezhu ate the apple with a somewhat lost look on her face, her head down and looking depressed.

Quan Zhilong secretly glanced at her appearance and felt that the little fox had just turned into a puppy and did not get any reward from its owner, so it drooped its ears and looked listless.

"Okay, I promise, I will peel a rose next time. Or can you still eat the apple now? I will peel another one for you."

Kwon Ji-yong was betting that she didn't have enough room for a second apple.

Sure enough, Shen Jiezhu leaned back, shook her head, and squeezed out both chins.

"I can't eat anymore. I'm full. Burp!"

It sounds like I am full indeed!

Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to touch her head. The fluffy afro felt good to the touch and looked so cute!

This is completely a case of beauty in the eyes of the beholder. How could Kwon Ji-yong still remember that he had just sprayed a magazine model's afro with sarcasm this morning, saying that her hair looked like it had been bombarded by a cannon and had no aesthetic appeal at all.

Now the same hairstyle looks cute on Shen Jiezhu.

Shen Jiezhu munched on the sweet apple, and her heart also felt sweet. Her pale face became increasingly rosy. At this moment, she suddenly thought of an important question.

"Oppa, why can't I contact you during this period of time? Did something happen to you?"

Hearing this question, a hint of hesitation flashed across Kwon Ji-yong's face, but he quickly covered it up as if nothing had happened.

"There was a problem with the dance for the concert, and the team members rehearsed together. They put away their phones. I should have told you. Have you been daydreaming these days?"

He was called to the company that night. When he entered the office, the artist director was waiting there. On the computer screen was a photo of himself standing in front of a car in the manor, holding Zhuzhu.

They were secretly photographed.

The one who secretly took the photo was not a paparazzi, but An Sheng...

The An family has said that no one in their family would ever be with an artist from the entertainment industry. It is absolutely impossible for him and Zhuzhu to be together, so don't even think about it.

After receiving Anjia's intention, the company came to inform him.

He refused again, so...his cell phone was taken away and he was cut off from all external contacts.

The team members wanted to help him pass on the message, but they were also cut off from him. Helplessly, he could only suggest the dance at the concert again and again to numb himself.

Fortunately, MINO secretly gave him a message, saying that he was in contact with Zhuzhu and did not tell him the matter, but lied to avoid her worrying.

Only then did he feel relieved.

That day, he was planning to sneak out through the back door to look for Zhuzhu after making the call, but when he changed his clothes and went back to the practice room to get something, he found that she was already lying there unconscious.

Thinking back to that time, Quan Zhilong still felt a little scared. If she hadn't returned to the practice room, she didn't know how long she would have been unconscious. What if something unexpected happened...

If she fainted for some other reason instead of overwork, could I still be sitting here and talking to her at such a close distance?

"Aren't you very tired these days? How could a good dance go wrong? Isn't this just adding to the workload? Oppa, you must not have slept well these days..."

It was obvious that she fainted due to overwork, but she was still caring about herself. Quan Zhilong's heart softened, and he subconsciously raised his hands and held her in his arms while she continued to talk.

The unique scent of Shen Jiezhu, familiar and warm, finally reduced his fear a little.

But he still didn't want to let go. Only when he held her tightly did he feel at ease and feel that everything was fine with her.

Sister Shen nestled in Quan Zhilong's arms, her chin resting on his shoulder, her hands kept far away, afraid that the apple in her hands would stain his clothes.

Kwon Ji-yong’s embrace is very warm, warmer than the afternoon sun.

She was reluctant to leave.

After being tense for too long, my body finally found a place I could rely on with peace of mind.

During this time, she knew that she did not get enough rest, but she did not dare to relax. The things that followed one after another made it impossible for her to relax. Before she understood the truth of all the problems, she always had a feeling of uncertainty and insecurity.

Only in his arms, she doesn't have to think about the affairs of the Jiang family and the An family, nor does she have to think about the problems in the metaphysical circle. She can say whatever she wants and do whatever she wants.

It doesn't matter if I'm a salted fish.

"Oppa, what will you do if I quit the entertainment industry in the future?"

"Then I am your last trump card in the entertainment industry. As long as you want to come back, I will write songs for you anytime."
