Chapter 70
The director quickly arranged a car. Although he didn't know why Cheng Shangen was in such a hurry to leave, the filming had already been completed and he had no control over where the actor went.
Cheng Shangen really couldn't stay there any longer. At this moment, she just wanted to call Quan Zhilong, listen to his voice, and seek his comfort. She didn't want to suffer alone anymore.
Quan Zhilong was the only light for her in such darkness.
Cheng Shangen took a deep breath before getting in the car and reminded: "You two don't have to follow me, just enjoy your last night here with everyone."
Lou Zilin refused without a second thought: "I'll accompany your sister."
Jiang Junying was not to be outdone: "Nuna, our job is to stay by your side. It's impossible for you to go down alone. Let Zilin accompany you, and I will arrange the follow-up matters here."
Cheng Shangen saw the look in the two people's eyes and knew that he couldn't win over them: "Okay then."
After getting in the car, it was bumpy all the way. Lou Zilin took motion sickness medicine in advance and prepared mint candies and orange peels. He was determined not to fall behind this time.
Along the way, Lou Zilin would ask about Cheng Shangen's condition every few minutes. Is he okay? Are you okay?
It's no wonder that she was overly nervous. When she first started working, Jin Qiaodong specifically told Cheng Xiaoen not to take the elevator alone, not to go into small enclosed spaces, and absolutely not to do that! ! !
At that time, I didn't remember any other concerns, only this one was deeply imprinted in my mind.
It must have been someone who locked her sister in the cellar, and she guessed it was Liu Yao! ! ! Apart from her, no one can get along with my sister.
But now that her sister didn't mention it, she didn't ask. Although Cheng Shangen seemed calm, she could actually feel that she was shaking a little.
Cheng Shangen did still have some fear in her heart. She tightened her nerves and tried to calm herself down. That period of time was very short so she could hold on for a short time. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if it was longer.
Finally arriving at the hotel where they had stayed before, Cheng Shangen stepped on the ground with a somewhat shaky step.
Lou Zilin quickly supported Cheng Shangen, and returned to the room and turned on all the lights before letting Cheng Shangen in.
"Sister, are you hungry? Do you want to order food?" Lou Zilin asked softly.
Cheng Shangen shook his head.
"Then do you want to take a hot bath? I'm in the room and you can call me if you need anything. I'll stay here with you tonight." Lou Zilin said again.
Cheng Shangen smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm fine. Go back to your room."
Lou Zilin was slightly relieved, but still a little insistent: "I'll stay here and watch over you."
Cheng Shangen smiled and flicked her forehead lightly: "It's really nothing. I still have to call my boyfriend. Do you really want to hear it?"
Only then did Lou Zilin feel relieved. She grabbed her bag and walked out: "Hey, hey, I won't bother you anymore~"
It was not until Lou Zilin walked out that Cheng Shangen's smile gradually disappeared, and tears welled up almost immediately.
She took out her cell phone and called Quan Zhilong without hesitation. At this moment, she was particularly afraid that he was busy.
Fortunately, the phone was answered after three rings.
Quan Zhilong was the first to speak: "Hey, look at me
Whose call did you receive? It was our Xiao En. Has the filming of the drama been completed? Can I finally make a phone call? ”
Because of the signal problem, the two had almost no contact for a week. Quan Zhilong was naturally very excited when he got the call.
The moment Cheng Shangen heard Quan Zhilong's voice, the taut string finally relaxed, and for a moment he couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell down his face.
"Woo...Brother, I'm really scared. I tried my best to overcome it, but I'm still scared. I hate darkness, I hate it so much!" Cheng Shangen's voice was a little intermittent, and at the beginning it sounded like he had been crying for a long time.
Quan Zhilong's heart immediately tightened. Cheng Shangen didn't realize at this moment that she was speaking anxiously in Chinese. Quan Zhilong didn't understand a word she said, he only knew that she was crying sadly.
"Xiao En, be good, speak to Oppa in Korean, okay? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." Quan Zhilong was a little anxious, and his tone was indeed as gentle as possible, and he kept repeating in his mouth: "Be good, be good."
Cheng Shangen calmed down a little. She took a breath and spoke again in Korean: "Oppa, I am afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of dark and small spaces."
Quan Zhilong could also see this. The two of them had been together for such a long time. Although she never said it, he could definitely feel it.
"But, I was not afraid at all when I was a child. Other children were afraid of dark rooms. When we played hide-and-seek, I would hide in a small room by myself, and I would always win." Cheng Shangen said again.
"When did I start to get scared?" Cheng Shangen seemed to be asking and answering himself.
Quan Zhilong paused for a moment, feeling that the reason for being afraid would make him...uncomfortable.
"Since, when?" Quan Zhilong asked cautiously.
Cheng Shangen covered her eyes with her hands. The scenes seemed to be replayed all over again. She tried to remain calm: "Three years ago, I was kidnapped."
"Because of my ridiculous sympathy." Cheng Shangen said.
Quan Zhilong's breathing was tight, and he was anxious and stuttering: "Xiaoen, I, I'll go find you, right now, Ani, it's still the same place as before, right, I, I'll ask Shunhao to book a ticket now, I'm..."
Cheng Shangen cried again: "Don't come, turn off your phone when you get on the plane, you kept talking to me on the phone, I'm scared."
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't leave, I won't hang up, I'll always listen to you, don't cry, don't cry." When she cried, Quan Zhilong felt heartbroken.
"Three years ago, I had just arrived abroad. My classmates and professors were very friendly to me, and I received a lot of love." Cheng Shangen wiped his tears with a tissue: "Among them, there was a person who was withdrawn and never walked with others. He was called a 'freak' by everyone. I didn't have much in common with him at first, but later I received a letter from him saying that he was depressed and not good at socializing, but actually longed for friends and longed to have friends. He said that I was cheerful and confident, and he envied me very much."
"But this letter didn't change anything. It just made me say hello to him when I met him on the road occasionally. I didn't have any intention of saving a person." Cheng Shangen continued: "Until later he asked me to have coffee and hoped that I could bring a few friends. Agreeing at that time was the decision I regretted the most."
"I just remember that we were chatting happily in the cafe, but when I opened my eyes again, it was dark, my hands and feet couldn't move, and there was tape on my mouth. I didn't know where I was or why I was there."
"It was dark when I saw that man again. He came over with a candle, the madness and obsession in his eyes were no longer concealed. He said, you finally woke up my most perfect work of art." Cheng Shangen's voice was trembling: "He would beat me and scold me, but he would also kneel down and beg for my forgiveness..."
Cheng Shangen felt that she was having difficulty breathing. She felt extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed, but no sound came out when she opened her mouth.
Quan Zhilong was listening quietly on the other end, but his knuckles were turning white as he held the phone with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush it.
"He would throw buckets of paint all over me."
"He would take out human body parts and eyeballs soaked in formalin and ask me if I would like to be his specimen."
"He gave me a very obedient dog, and when I developed a certain relationship with it, he tortured and killed it in front of me. No matter how much I begged, it was useless."
Cheng Shangen's tears never stopped.
"He forced the friend who was with me that day to have sex in front of me. I will never forget the way my friend was tortured and in a trance and said he would hate me for the rest of his life."
"He tortured me. He said he loved me. He would go crazy and lie on the ground barking at me like a dog, saying he wanted to be my dog. He never touched me because I was his most perfect work of art."
"I went through two weeks of darkness, and I never felt time go by so slowly. It felt like a lifetime ago when I was found and rescued."
"I did psychological therapy for a long time. When I thought the world was finally getting better, my best friend at school committed suicide." Cheng Shangen curled up, his voice gradually weakened: "It's all me, it's all me. I should have endured it alone, so I shouldn't have existed."
"Xiao En!!!" Quan Zhilong's voice was choked for a while, his eyes were red, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"That was my thought at the time. My mother stayed close to me during that period. One time when I woke up in the middle of the night and went to the balcony to get some fresh air, my mother was scared to death." Cheng Shangen said, "I have never seen her cry so bitterly. She kept begging me to go over to her quickly. She said that if possible, she would be willing to bear it all for me, and she just hoped that I could live well."
"That's why I want to live, along with that friend." Cheng Shangen sobbed softly: "She didn't blame me in her suicide note, and she also hoped that I could get over it."
Quan Zhilong could no longer control his tears, he felt so heartbroken that he felt like he was suffocating. He also wanted to bear all of this for his Xiaoen. He felt heartbroken, too heartbroken.
"Xiao En, can I come to find you?" Quan Zhilong's voice was obviously choked with sobs.
Cheng Shangen smiled gently: "Oppa, I have forced myself to try to get out of this shadow so many times but to no avail. But you, you gave me hope. It seems that with you, I can overcome everything."
"I was accidentally locked in the dark today, but after looking at the photos and chat records with Oppa, I actually felt less scared. The shadow seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me." Cheng Shangen said:
"Like now, I'm talking to you, so I feel safe."
"Ani, Xiao En, if you can't overcome it, don't try to overcome it. In the days to come, I will try my best to keep darkness out of Xiao En's world." Quan Zhilong said in a trembling voice: "I will protect you."
Cheng Shangen smiled and said, "Yeah!"
Originally, she wanted to keep this matter a secret and never tell anyone about it, but she couldn't get around it. She couldn't overcome the fact that this kind of situation would always happen.
She even thought that she would never be able to love someone again, but Quan Zhilong appeared in her world like an accident and became the person she could rely on and wanted to rely on the most. There was no doubt that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
"Xiao En, just lie down on the bed and cover yourself with the quilt. Oppa will sing you to sleep, okay?" Quan Zhilong said in a calm tone.
"Okay." Cheng Shangen responded.
"Go to sleep, my baby, I will light up the whole world for you. Go to sleep, my baby, I will take the torch to drive away the darkness. Go to sleep, my baby, I exist because of you. Go to sleep, my baby, I will turn into a star in the night sky to shine for you." Quan Zhilong's voice was hoarse, and his voice was gentle but he couldn't help trembling.
His worries were finally revealed, and Quan Zhilong sang several songs with his gentle voice to soothe him. Cheng Shangen's nerves had been tense for a while, but now he relaxed and quickly fell asleep.
Quan Zhilong stopped singing and listened to the small and even breathing sound on the other end of the phone.
He slowly put down his phone, and the corners of his mouth that were originally smiling now drooped. He couldn't calm himself down at all. How could he calm down? ! !
For the first time in his life, he wanted to kill someone. If that person was standing in front of him at this moment, he would not be able to vent his hatred even if he beat that person into mud or burned him into ashes!
