Lin Nian actually came here secretly to see Xiao He. After all, she was the child he had raised. He hadn't been in contact with her for three years, and her sudden appearance made him quite worried. In addition, the incident of her leaving the group back then was shrouded in mystery, and he also wanted to know what had happened.
But it's clear that An Yi has already asked this question for him.
Jin He did not seem to give a direct response.
"What time are you having your rehearsal? Just take me in for a quick look, I want to see how he is." Lin Nian sighed. "You two are the most troublesome in this group, and you two are even paired together. You should also control your temper. Xiao He is thoughtful, and there are some things he doesn't want to talk about. Why don't you look into it yourself?"
"Okay." An Yi handed him an unopened disposable mask.
“I discussed it with my agent, and I can come and be a guest mentor for one episode when you have your second or third performance. Right now, I can’t get away because I have other commitments.” Lin Nian put on her hat, pulled the brim down, and looked down to see her coat that had been stained with coffee. She belatedly realized that she was angry and raised her hand to hit An Yi on the back of the head: “You’d better remember to buy me a new coat.”
"Why should I!"
"Why should I?"
Jin He was still in the same practice room. Since it was the only practice room without cameras, almost no one would come in. When An Yi and the other person entered the room, Jin He was lying on the floor, fast asleep, his body curled up. He was clutching the fabric of his clothes to his chest with one hand and clenching his fist with the other. Fine beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, and his eyes were dark circles under his eyes when they were closed.
Lin Nian hadn't seen Jin He in a long time. Seeing him sleeping like this, she nudged An Yi forward and asked, "Why is he sleeping here? Don't you have a rest room? What if he catches a cold?"
"How would I know?" An Yi thought Jin He was quite carefree; there were still three hours until the rehearsal, and she could actually fall asleep.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find him a place to sleep. This floor is hard and cold. What if he gets sick?" Lin Nian leaned over and muttered with concern, "Oh dear, his little face is so thin, and his dark circles are so bad. Has he not rested well?"
"He only slept for three hours last night."
Although according to Jin He's previous routine, being able to sleep for three hours a night was already a blessing from heaven, An Yi always felt that three hours was too little. At the very least, a person shouldn't only sleep for three hours a day, as that would make Jin He very tired.
Lin Nian remained silent. An Yi took out his phone to contact the production team and asked them to turn off the cameras in the corridor. His dressing room was next door, where there was a sofa.
After hanging up the phone, An Yi stepped forward, pried open Jin He's shrimp-like body, and picked him up in his arms. The position changed instantly, and the feeling of weightlessness came over him, causing Jin He to frown and cough twice, but he only muttered a few words and did not wake up.
"It's really light, just a skeleton," An Yi muttered.
"Hurry up!" Lin Nian kicked him from behind, not forgetting to remind him, "You can hug me, but don't touch me."
An Yi: "..."
With a "thud," something hit Lin Nian's foot. Lin Nian looked down and saw a small medicine bottle, just a small white bottle with no label on it.
It must be Xiaohe's nutritional supplement?
Lin Nian bent down and picked up the item, examining it in his palm. Xiao He had always liked to eat nutritional supplements, and An Yi had even joked that he looked old for his age.
In fact, Lin Nian already knew that Xiao He was afraid that she would get sick and delay the trip. After all, with such a reversed day and night schedule, she had to watch her diet and give up high-oil and high-sugar foods in order to ensure that she could have a flawless image on camera.
Moreover, Xiaohe was very thin at that time. She would get angry if she couldn't keep up with the group dance, and she would bury herself in fitness training. She also had to squeeze in time to run her private schedule, so her nutrition was definitely not up to par. It's normal for her to eat nutritional supplements as meals.
It seems that even after Xiaohe rested for three years, this habit has still been retained.
Lin Nian caught up with him and stuffed the medicine bottle into Jin He's pocket.
Jin He only slept for an hour before being woken up by the vibration of his bracelet. He looked down and saw that the bracelet had detected that his heartbeat was too slow and suspected that he was dead. It asked him if he wanted to call the police or 120.
Jin He was so angry at the bracelet that she laughed.
He quickly clicked "decline," and when he woke up, he found himself on a sofa in a lounge, covered with a gray coat. The coat was very warm, and he slept soundly for a while, feeling incredibly comfortable and his fatigue was greatly reduced. If it weren't for that broken bracelet randomly alarming, he probably could have slept a little longer.
But he probably can't take a nap now. It's 4:30 pm, and there are still two and a half hours until the theme song rehearsal. He can use this time to prepare properly, and at least he can practice the dance a bit more.
He got up, neatly folded his gray coat and placed it on the sofa. Then he tiptoed to leave. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door. The figure seemed quite excited to see Jin He come out.
"You're awake, Xiao He!"
Jin He: "..."
"What brings you here, Captain?"
"I came to see you." Lin Nian pulled Jin He into the room and made him sit down. "I came secretly, so no one should have noticed. I was just worried about you, Xiao He. Why didn't you answer all the calls I made to you before?"
Jin He is too ashamed to face Lin Nian now. Lin Nian is the best captain he has ever met. She has almost no selfish motives and takes great care of each member with patience and care.
It is precisely because Lin Nian is so good that Jin He does not want to see him now.
"Where have you been for the past three years? I can't find you anywhere."
Jin He touched his nose, thinking to himself, "It would be strange if you could find me."
“I called you, but you didn’t answer. I sent you WeChat messages, but you didn’t reply.” Lin Nian held his hand, her face full of heartache. “You’re such a child. If you have any problems or difficulties, you can just tell me directly. No one will blame you. I’ve been worried about you for the past three years. I was afraid that something might happen to you.”
Jin He lowered his head and remained silent. He had indeed suffered a lot in the past three years. He had endured the most painful and difficult times, but now that the captain had touched his hand, he felt extremely wronged.
Actually, there's nothing to feel wronged about.
"Captain, I... I have to go to training now. We have a rehearsal later."
Lin Nian sighed, looked at Jin He, and reached out to pat his head: "Go, go."
