"Hair is alright, but beard..."
Qin Yaxin thought for a moment and said, "Didn't I bring you a razor? Go shave now."
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
Zhou Zhiyuan acted swiftly; he put on his shoes, found his razor, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared outside the ward door.
The production team was short on funds, but Zhou Zhiyuan was a well-known actor, so they still managed to book him a private room as much as possible. However, there was no bathroom in the room, so Zhou Zhiyuan had to go to the public sink to use water to clean his stubble.
"Xin Xin, how do I look now?"
Back in the ward, Zhou Zhiyuan asked Qin Yaxin.
"Very energetic!"
Qin Yaxin said with a smile.
"Just very energetic?"
Zhou Zhiyuan put the razor back in his travel bag, turned to Qin Yaxin, and raised an eyebrow.
"You want me to tell you you're pretty?"
Qin Yaxin also raised an eyebrow.
"Could it be..."
Before Zhou Zhiyuan could finish his sentence, Qin Yaxin blushed and said, "Okay, okay, besides looking very energetic, you also look especially good, ten or a hundred times better than before you shaved. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiyuan immediately beamed with delight: "You have excellent taste!"
"Is this a compliment to yourself?"
Qin Yaxin smiled and shook her head, then said, "When we get back to Beijing, do you think we should find some time to have both sets of parents sit down and talk about our situation?"
"..."
Zhou Zhiyuan was stunned. After a long while, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Right now, our most important thing is to finish filming this drama we're currently working on... If we have some free time during next year's National Day holiday, our two families can sit down together again to discuss our future, what do you think..."
"Okay, I have no objection."
Qin Yaxin responded.
Downstairs in the inpatient building.
Following the ward number given to her by Qin Yaxin, Song Lan was about to enter the inpatient building when she suddenly overheard a conversation between a mother and daughter.
"Mom, will Dad be unhappy if he sees us?"
The girl looked to be about six or seven years old, with fair skin and a cute appearance. She held her mother's hand, raised her little head, and asked in a childish voice.
"this……"
The woman had delicate features, and her hair was tied into a low ponytail with a handkerchief hanging down her back. Her first impression was that she was gentle and didn't talk much. At this moment, after hearing her daughter's words, she was at a loss for words.
"But since we're already here, let's go in!"
The little girl looked innocent and said, "Mommy, I asked the nurse, and Daddy is in room 1012."
"..."
Song Lan stopped in her tracks, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.
"Pretty auntie, are you here to visit a patient too?"
Seeing that Song Lan had stopped, the little girl pulled her mother to stand beside Song Lan. Hearing her question, Song Lan smiled and nodded. Then the little girl asked again:
"Which ward is Auntie going to? My dad is in ward 1012. He's an actor. A few days ago, he was bitten by a venomous snake while filming in this city. My mom and I were worried about him, so we came to check on him."
"What a lovely little girl! What's your name?"
After hearing what the little girl said, Song Lan's heart sank to the bottom, but he still wanted to struggle a little, perhaps it was just a coincidence, not what she thought.
"My surname is Zhou, and my full name is Zhou Nan."
The young girl hadn't forgotten the question she'd asked Song Lan earlier, and she brought it up again: "Pretty auntie, you still haven't said which ward you're going to?"
"The first floor, the ward I need to go to is also on the first floor."
Song Lan smiled somewhat awkwardly.
The young girl, Zhou Nan, couldn't see the strangeness on Song Lan's face. She introduced her mother to Song Lan: "Pretty auntie, this is my mother. She is very gentle and a very good mother. But, but my father doesn't like my mother. He even proposed to divorce her, saying that he has found someone he likes and wants to marry her."
As she spoke, Zhou Nan's eyes gradually reddened, and at the same time, her childish voice trembled with sobs: "Pretty auntie, my dad won't let my mom call the film crew he's shooting for, and he won't let me call him dad in front of others. I... I hate him... I hate that he doesn't want me and my mom..."
Yesterday, I called the film crew where my dad is shooting and asked the uncle on the phone to look for my uncle. That's when I learned that my dad had been bitten by a venomous snake. I told my mom, and she was worried about him, so this morning she took me to this city to visit him.
"Uncle?"
Song Lan had a guess in her mind, but couldn't help wanting to confirm it again.
“It’s my dad. He doesn’t let me call him dad in public. I can only tell the uncle on the set who answers the phone that he’s looking for my uncle!”
The little girl, Zhou Nan, sniffed and said, "I don't want my dad and mom to get divorced, pretty auntie, what should I do?"
"Nannan, Auntie is an outsider and can't help you with your parents' affairs. Oh, right, Auntie suddenly remembered that there are some things I haven't bought yet. You two go in first, I'll go to the department store near the hospital."
With that, Song Lan nodded to the little girl's mother as a farewell, then turned and walked away quickly, carrying her bulging travel bag.
At this moment, she was filled with rage and wished she could immediately drag Qin Yaxin in front of her and whip her a few times!
After leaving the hospital, Song Lan found a public phone booth. She dialed the number Qin Yaxin had left, and after the operator transferred her, she heard an unfamiliar voice on the other end: "Sir, I'm looking for Qin Yaxin. She's in room 1012. Could you please ask her to answer the phone? Thank you!"
It should be noted that Qin Yaxin left the hospital's landline number.
After receiving a reply from the gatekeeper, Song Lan hung up the phone and waited a moment before dialing again.
