Chapter 72
Ye Yuze entered a hazy state, half asleep and half asleep.
He knew he was dreaming.
After struggling to open his eyes, Ye Yuze found himself floating in the air, like a ghost. He looked down at the garden of a private hospital. A few patients were accompanied by others, strolling or enjoying the cool air.
Ye Yuze was already very familiar with this scene, because he couldn't remember how many times he had had this dream.
Looking back now, he first had this dream the night he went to audition for the role in "The Painter" with Yu Zheng. After that, he kept having the same dream intermittently until the filming of "The Painter" was completed.
At first, the dream wasn't clear, but rather like a mist, and he could only vaguely see the outlines of moving figures. As the filming of "The Painter" progressed, the mist in the dream gradually thinned, and he finally saw the full picture.
But at that time, he only dreamed of this scene - although he didn't know why he dreamed of such a strange place he had never been to. Even after the filming of "The Painter" was completed, he still didn't understand what the dream meant.
After that, Ye Yuze never had this dream again.
Until I joined the crew of "The End of the Sky".
This time, he not only entered the dream again, but also saw a new plot - every time he opened his eyes while floating in the air, he would see He Tong pushing him in a wheelchair to take a walk in the garden.
Every time He Tong pushed his wheelchair out of the inpatient building, he would slowly walk along the rows of osmanthus trees, looking down to talk to himself in the wheelchair. Looking down from above, the trees, covered with pale yellow osmanthus flowers, swayed gently in the breeze, and Ye Yuze could almost smell the delicate fragrance of the flowers.
When they reached the artificial pond, He Tong would push his wheelchair across a small arched bridge, into the pavilion above the pond, and stop by the railing. Then, he would pull a small bag of fish food from his pocket, put it in his wheelchair-bound hand, and toss it to the fish in the pond.
After feeding the fish in the pavilion, they stayed for a while before He Tong pushed the wheelchair back to the inpatient building. Every time this happened, Ye Yuze would be pulled down by a force, landing in front of a window in the building. Soon, he would see He Tong pushing the wheelchair into the ward, carrying him to the bed, and then running warm water to wash his face and hands.
Here, the dream ends.
It was precisely because he was experiencing this magical experience that when Ye Yuze heard He Tong talk about dreams before, he also felt that some things seemed to be connected in some way.
Ye Yuze could always sense that He Tong was experiencing a sudden surge of anxiety due to some unknown experience. He didn't care whether He Tong's dream was real or not, but he always wanted to know the source of that anxiety. Only by knowing the cause could he find the right direction to comfort him.
So, that night, Ye Yuze took the opportunity to trick He Tong into talking. As he expected, the key was Ye Zexu, whom He Tong had always been concerned about. And the source of He Tong's anxiety was probably the wheelchair-bound self in that strange dream.
However, considering He Tong's words, Ye Yuze wasn't too worried. Things had developed just as he'd expected. After Zhou Siqi's arrest, he hadn't had that strange dream again.
Therefore, when he entered this dream again today, Ye Yuze had to say that he was still very surprised.
He floated in the air, thinking for a while, and suddenly froze again. Normally, by this time, He Tong in the dream should have pushed him out. Why hadn't anything changed yet?
Just as Ye Yuze was thinking this, he suddenly felt his body sinking. Soon, he was standing firmly on the ground.
Ye Yuze looked around, walked into the inpatient building, and headed towards the ward he remembered.
He took the elevator to the top floor, walked through a long corridor and came to a room at the end, but found the door open. The windows inside were clean, but there was only neatly folded bedding on the bed, and there was no sign that anyone had lived there.
At this moment, a voice came from behind him: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Ye Yuze turned around and saw the elderly head nurse looking at him warily.
After finding that the other person could indeed see him, Ye Yuze asked, "Has the patient in this ward been transferred? The one who can't walk and needs a wheelchair."
The head nurse blinked in confusion, her expression growing even more suspicious, but she still replied, "This ward hasn't been occupied for a long time, and there's never been a patient in a wheelchair. Did you find the wrong floor?"
Ye Yuze was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "I want to visit a patient named Ye, Ye Yuze. I heard that he is hospitalized here. He is my cousin and looks very similar to me. Have you seen him?"
The head nurse looked him up and down and said with certainty, "No, I remember all the patients in our hospital's inpatient building. There's no one named Ye, and certainly no one who looks like you."
Ye Yuze took out his phone again and pulled up a photo of He Tong to show her: "Have you seen this person before? He is the patient's companion."
The head nurse looked at her phone again and reaffirmed, "No. If I had seen such a handsome guy like you and him, I would never forget him. You must have remembered the wrong hospital."
Ye Yuze smiled. He could already feel a force pulling him away from this world. He politely thanked the head nurse and then followed the force upwards.
The last thing he saw in this dream was the head nurse scratching her head and muttering to herself, "Huh? What am I doing here?"
Ye Yuze opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling quietly in the darkness. He had a strong feeling that from now on, he had nothing to do with that dream anymore.
He raised his left hand and looked at the ring on his ring finger.
This ring is so ordinary that it even looks a little dull due to poor polishing. At first glance, you can't tell that it is platinum.
Yet, such an ordinary ring strangely made him feel at ease. He could even imagine the tall He Tongwo carefully polishing the ring in the workshop, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
At this time, He Tong on the side muttered something, turned over, reached out to pull Ye Yuze into his arms, and patted him.
Ye Yuze turned sideways and looked at the person next to him.
He Tong's appearance is mostly like his father's, with strong facial lines, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, and a very masculine look.
Ye Yuze looked at He Tong's facial features with his eyes, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
Before I knew it, the skinny little kid had grown so tall, always stretching his arms and legs behind his back to protect himself. Back then, I said I would always be there for him. Since he wanted to act, of course I would accompany him, but looking back, it seemed like he was the one accompanying me...
Never mind, they were tied together now, so it didn't matter who was with whom. They would naturally walk hand in hand down the road ahead.
Ye Yuze yawned, leaned over and kissed He Tong on the face, then lay down head to head with him and closed his eyes.
He Tong, who was sleeping, seemed to sense something and rubbed the person next to him unconsciously, and his arms around the person's waist tightened a little.
◆◇◆
Not long after the Chinese New Year, the news that He Tong and Ye Yuze were wearing couple rings was exposed.
The photo was accidentally captured by a paparazzi lurking in the studio and then sold to a marketing account. The account didn't go into too much trouble, simply using the hashtag #TongzeWearingHandRings#, which quickly became a trending topic. These accounts have recently mastered the art of capitalizing on Tongze's popularity; as long as they don't post anything irrelevant, they'll generally ignore them.
Although Ye and He have always appeared together, after all, there has been no official announcement. This entry still attracted many people to come in and want to "witness their love." However...
It can be clearly seen in the nine-square grid that He Tong and Ye Yuze both wear the most ordinary ring on the index finger of their left hand.
[…This subtle clickbait feeling…]
[That's it? I could buy a 50-cent ring from Taobao and wear matching rings with them.] [They're well-heeled, so how can the ones from Taobao compare? Maybe it's a new product from a big brand.] [So, is this an official announcement?]
[Wearing the index finger, it's not official yet. I'll go to the Yu Zi Tong Ze super topic to see how their fans react.] After being reminded of this, passers-by rushed into the CP super topic to watch the fun.
The chat room was quiet.
Until a bystander couldn't help but posted a message asking "Have you seen Tongze wearing couple rings? Why is no one eating sugar sugar?" As a result, he was thrown countless Amways in the comments.
[Sisters, are you a late fan? Although those raw photos are well-taken, they're just ordinary decorative rings. We have plenty of sweets at home, so there's no need to pick on these scraps to fill in the imagination. Come on, everyone, introduce this to your new sisters.] [Can it be sweeter than feeding? See pictures]
[Can it be sweeter than wiping your nose? See image]
[Is there anything sweeter than a smile and a pat on the head? See image]
[Can anything be sweeter than being mistaken for a couple when hanging out? See pictures]
[Can anything be sweeter than passionate tango? See pictures]
[Most importantly, can it be sweeter than a genuine wedding ring? They were gifted a pair by Seedes Jewelry! See pictures.] Passersby: Sweeter than anything...
Yes, if it really comes to an official announcement, she should be wearing the high-end wedding rings inspired by them. How could it be such an ordinary ring that you can't tell the material?
So the netizens talked about it for a while and then dispersed.
Fang Chen, who had rarely been with the group today, browsed around in the super topic and looked at He Tong with a puzzled look: "Don't you feel guilty about deceiving your fans like this?"
He Tong said innocently, "This shows that our fans are not short of food, so they missed the truth right in front of them."
"...I hope fans won't bombard you with criticism when you go public later."
"Our fans are so cute, how could they lose their temper with me?"
However, He Tong felt a little guilty, so after thinking about it, he still posted a Weibo.
@贺同V: I happened to have the opportunity to learn how to make a ring. This is my first creation, courtesy of @叶与泽V. Making a ring is actually quite fun. If you have the chance, you should give it a try. It's not difficult, it just takes some effort and patience.
This time, the fans finally responded.
[So it was made by Tongzi! So this is the return gift from the little black cat, the little wolf, the little dog, and the little snowman?] [No wonder it's so plain and simple. Tongtong, why haven't you been influenced by Master Ze's aesthetic taste?] [For the first time, having a finished product is a victory! Keep up the good work next time! PS: You can ask Zezi to draw the design.] [The idols I follow have really unique hobbies. One pokes felt and the other makes rings. I feel like they'll definitely stand out if they perform their talents on a variety show.] He Tong scratched his head as he looked at the fans' crooked posts.
Alas, we stuffed too many dogs and wolves into the fans’ arms in the past, and the fans were so full that their food-seeking antennas failed.
But it doesn’t matter, they have a lifetime of dog food to feed them anyway.
