Chapter 426: Waking Up from a Nightmare (Part 1)
“Shen Zhichu!”
Bai Qiujing suddenly made a sound that startled Shen Zhichu. She stared blankly at Bai Qiujing's watery eyes that had just opened: "I'm..."
How could Shen Zhichu be in front of him? Was he still dreaming? When people wake up from a coma, they feel their entire brain is numb, as if filled with paste, and there is tinnitus.
He didn't react for a long time. After staring at Shen Zhichu for a while, he raised his right hand out of habit and felt a sharp pain in his elbow.
"Don't move, you're still injured." Shen Zhichu quickly stopped him.
"I'm hurt?" He just woke up and his voice was hoarse.
Chen Zhichu got him a glass of water, slowly rocked the bed and fed him the water. After moistening his throat, he remembered everything, including why he had a car accident and the dream he had.
In the dream, Shen Zhichu turned into another person and was with Bai Qiu, who looked like him. Although it was just a dream, he still felt very jealous.
Especially Li Jingshen's words "Chen Zhichu just treats you as a substitute." It's just like someone sent by a pyramid scheme to brainwash people.
Bai Qiujing felt a tightness in his chest. He looked at Shen Zhichu and then he noticed that she was still in her costume, and it was already pitch black outside the window.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been five or six hours, and it's almost half past eight now. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to deliver takeout tonight, so I bought some in advance. I bought some porridge. The hospital has a microwave, so I'll heat it up for you."
Bai Qiujing didn't feel hungry at all, but when he saw that Shen Zhichu seemed to want to share the burden with him, he swallowed the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue.
"Thank you, Zhichu."
Shen Zhichu smiled. There was no microwave in the ward, so he had to cross a corridor to heat it up. Shen Zhichu took out the porridge from the cabinet.
"Then just lie down on the bed and rest. Don't move. I'm leaving now."
"Um."
Looking at Shen Zhichu's back, Bai Qiujing was filled with thoughts, and a warm current flowed out from his heart.
He was really afraid, afraid that the dream he had was real, afraid that Shen Zhichu's current tenderness towards him was really just treating him as a substitute.
Unexpectedly, one day Bai Qiujing would be inferior to others.
Bai Qiujing looked at his hand. When he moved it, a nerve was pulled and he gasped in pain. His head was also wrapped in gauze and he could smell the pungent smell of medicine. He raised his uninjured left hand and touched his forehead, not knowing if he was disfigured.
If he really was a "stand-in" and his appearance was disfigured and he no longer looked like Bai Qiu, would Shen Zhichu still look at him?
Bai Qiujing has never felt so humble as he does now, like a deflated ball. There are so many strange things that cannot be explained, but when they are combined and connected together, everything can be explained.
He had a feeling before that Shen Zhichu was looking at him and it was as if he was looking at another person through him.
Shen Zhichu's resume showed that he came from the countryside, so he had no time to get to know someone like Li Jingshen.
But Li Jingshen treated her as if he had known her in his previous life. He even gave the cat he had at home to Shen Zhichu, and Shen Zhichu did not treat Nian Nian like an ordinary cat.
Things that didn't make sense before can be analyzed from a different perspective. If Shen Zhichu is the "Shen Zhichu" who died in the fire at the age of 27, then everything can be explained.
Bai Qiujing closed his eyes when he suddenly heard a vibrating sound in his ears. He looked over to find Shen Zhichu's cell phone on the cabinet.
When Bai Qiujing saw the notification on Weibo pop up, his pupils shrank slightly. It wasn't that he saw any important information, he was just thinking about it.
He was in a car accident, and Shen Zhichu came to the hospital to find him again. Wouldn't the two million CP fans say something?
Even if Shen Zhichu hadn't seen it before, when he saw the news about his car accident, didn't he also see the text he posted on Weibo?
How could she not see it? She was just pretending not to see it so as not to embarrass him.
Actually, this is pretty good, really. At least he can still be by Shen Zhichu's side, unlike Li Jingshen who can't even get close to him.
There was a noise outside the door, and Bai Qiujing looked over: "Your phone just rang, it was a Weibo notification."
"It's not a big deal." Calculating the time, it should be that she had sent out the termination letter on schedule.
Shen Zhichu didn't even glance at his phone. He sat at the head of the bed. The porridge was just the right temperature and he could swallow it immediately.
Shen Zhichu fed him with a spoon, "Is it appropriate?" she asked as she watched Bai Qiujing swallow.
"Hmm, very fragrant." In fact, it is just ordinary porridge with some vegetable leaves and a little bit of salt in it. It is not very delicious, but the more it is fed into your mouth from Shen Zhichu's hands, the more fragrant it becomes.
Bai Qiujing asked as he ate, "You just ran away from the set like that? You didn't even change your costume. Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Shen Zhichu murmured: “I didn’t think so much at the time.”
Bai Qiujing asked tentatively, "Can I assume that you care about me?"
"Don't think so. I just care about you. I saw the news of your accident on the hot search, so I came to the hospital to find you." When saying this, Shen Zhichu lowered his head, his eyelashes drooping and trembling, like a small fan.
Bai Qiujing's heart fluttered as her eyelashes moved. He asked, "How did you know I was in the hospital? Did you see it online?"
"Do you remember what happened after the car accident?"
“I have some impression, but I don’t remember it.”
Shen Zhichu didn't want to hide it from Bai Qiujing, so she told him everything. The online information about him being in a car accident and being in the hospital was blocked by his family. She didn't find it online, so she went to find Zhao Qian, and then asked Li Jingshen, only then did she know that he was in this hospital, and he talked to his parents for a while when he came in.
She explained everything slowly and in detail, just like a young wife reporting to her husband about her daily activities.
Shen Zhichu didn't feel that she had changed at all.
"That's it. Aunt Li said she had something to do at home and left. Then she asked me to stay with you. They will come tomorrow."
Bai Qiujing automatically ignored the before and after, and focused all her attention on the phone call she made to Li Jingshen.
"Are you talking to Li Jingshen on the phone?"
Shen Zhichu nodded: "Well, I can't get through to you on the phone, and I don't have your family's phone number, and I don't know your agent's phone number."
"Give me your phone."
Shen Zhichu handed over the phone on the cabinet, only to see Bai Qiujing open the phone with one hand and save the numbers one by one.
"This is my parents' number. I have a younger sister at home. If you can't get through here, there are still the home phone number, the housekeeper's, the aunt's, and my dad's assistant's phone number, which is online 24 hours a day. The last one is my agent's phone number. Have you seen enough?" After entering the last name, Bai Qiujing handed the phone to Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu laughed: "You don't need so much."
"I'm afraid you can't find me..." But in fact, it was Bai Qiujing's selfish thoughts. He didn't want Shen Zhichu to look for Li Jingshen again.
Shen Zhichu took the phone and put it back on the cabinet. Although there were many more unimportant calls, it did make her feel a lot more at ease.
Shen Zhichu continued to feed Bai Qiujing before he finished the porridge.
Once he starts to care about Bai Qiu, he will also care about the fangs that appear when Bai Qiu raises his mouth corners like him.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Shen Zhichu had deliberately rubbed his fangs lightly with a spoon, and his eyes were staring at his lips as before.
He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and seemed to be trying to escape. Bai Qiujing stretched out his left hand: "I can do it myself."
"Your hand is injured and it's inconvenient for you to eat. I'll feed you faster this way."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten." Shen Zhichu replied to him, but in fact she hadn't even drunk a glass of water during the time Bai Qiujing was unconscious. She had no appetite at all after his accident. She might have been hungry, but she had lost the feeling because of her worry.
When Bai Qiujing woke up, he was still dizzy and in pain. This was the sequelae of a concussion. He couldn't eat more than half of the porridge. He was afraid that he would feel dizzy and vomit if he ate any more.
Shen Zhichu saw that he didn't want to eat anymore, so he took it out and threw it into the trash can.
There was only one bed in the single room, so Shen Zhichu went to the medical department to get a bed sheet.
"How about you sleep on the bed?"
Shen Zhichu, who was making the bed, looked up at him. Bai Qiujing then noticed what lewd words he had just said, and the tinnitus in his ears became even worse.
"You are a patient now. If I sleep in the bed, where will you sleep?"
"I didn't think enough." Bai Qiujing pinched his thigh under the quilt. "Your clothes are not comfortable to sleep in. I'll have someone bring you some clothes."
"Now? Isn't it too late?"
"No, it will be delivered at ten o'clock at the latest." Bai Qiujing looked for his cell phone, but couldn't find it after searching for a while. He might have left it in the car.
"Lend me your phone so I can make a call."
"Give."
Bai Qiujing has a good memory and is sensitive to numbers. He can remember any phone number in his mobile phone that he has seen.
He made a phone call, revealed his identity, and asked the other party to buy two sets of clothes. As for the underwear, Bai Qiujing didn't want to say it in front of Shen Zhichu, although he knew the size she wore.
The clothes were delivered very quickly, arriving before ten o'clock. Shen Zhichu took the clothes into the bathroom to change. Seeing that there was hot water, he simply took a shower in it.
"Have you asked Director Wang for leave?"
"Yes, Xia Yanyue's issue has been resolved. He has found a suitable actress for the female lead role, and her scenes will be reshooted soon. Mine can be postponed." In fact, there are not many scenes, and it will take another week to shoot at most.
"Has Xia Yanyue's matter been resolved?"
"Overall, it's a good start to solving part of the problem."
"Have you seen on Weibo recently..." Bai Qiujing paused and suddenly stopped talking.
Shen Zhichu was drying her hair, her ears filled with the sound of the hairdryer. She faintly heard Bai Qiujing say something. She turned off the hairdryer and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Nothing... nothing." He retreated courageously.
Seeing that he was holding back his breath, his eyes were dazed, and his face was tangled, Shen Zhichu misunderstood him: "Do you want to go to the bathroom? I'll help you."
There were urinals and urinals under the bed in the ward, and she squatted down to take out the urinal.
Bai Qiujing was shocked by what she was holding. He couldn't speak clearly to begin with, and now he was stuttering, his face flushed red. "What are you doing with this... I only have an injured hand, not a broken leg."
He woke up and lay down for so long that his head was not as dizzy as before. He supported himself with his left elbow on the bed and sat up.
Shen Zhichu put down the things in her hands. She didn't think anything of it. In the eyes of doctors, patients had no gender distinction. Although she was not a doctor, she was also taking care of patients.
Bai Qiujing has a strange physique. His face is red all the way down to his neck, with his earlobes being the reddest, like wild fruit in the mountains.
Shen Zhichu reached out and helped him to the bathroom. He was a little unsteady when he walked, and there was a support in the bathroom where he could lean his back to prevent himself from falling.
"Can you take off your pants?" Shen Zhichu asked worriedly.
Bai Qiujing replied in a low voice, "Sure." He changed into hospital gown, which was loose and could be unbuttoned with one hand.
After Shen Zhichu confirmed that he could, he exited the bathroom and closed the door.
She was drying her hair outside, her eyes fixed on the bathroom, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Qiujing coming out.
After helping Bai Qiujing onto the bed, Shen Zhichu took a basin of hot water and wiped his face. Bai Qiujing's whole body was tense, like a boiled shrimp.
It was almost eleven o'clock when he finished his work. Shen Zhichu lay on the bed and covered himself with the quilt. He didn't check his phone, but he could guess how big a sensation the Internet was at that moment.
In addition to Bai Qiujing's car accident, the biggest hot search was the news about Xia Yanyue's termination of the contract with "Changmen Hate".
To put it nicely, it was a termination of the contract, but to put it bluntly, Nagato fired him because he hated and despised him.
——"Our artist Xia Yanyue has poor personal ethics and violated the contract. She has not played a positive role in the Internet and social morality. Therefore, we accept the termination of the contract."
