reason
Lin Jingming started coughing while laughing, and the sound was much more severe than when he was in Tibet, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
Xia Zhitang just stood there, looking at Lin Jingming coldly.
He finally recovered and looked at Xia Zhitang while panting: "This is called God's will, Xia Xia, you are destined to be entangled with me."
"Don't talk about fate, Lin Jingming, everything depends on human effort."
"You ran away the first time, the second time, and finally came back." Lin Jingming suddenly stood up and pulled Xia Zhitang into his arms.
"I didn't choose you the first time or the second time." Xia Zhitang struggled to stand up.
"I don't need you to choose, I just need you to accept me." Lin Jingming bit Xia Zhitang's neck.
"Are you sick?" Xia Zhitang bumped his foot into the railing of the hospital bed while struggling. The double pain made him almost cry.
"I didn't ask you to break up, so why are you avoiding me?" Lin Jingming snorted coldly, let go of Xia Zhitang, and leaned over to rub her feet.
"I'll see a psychologist for you. You're paranoid." Xia Zhitang slapped Lin Jingming's hand away.
"You can't be a good director if you're not crazy." Lin Jingming laughed while coughing. "How many normal people have left their names in art history?"
"You have to live long enough to leave your name in art history." Xia Zhitang poured the pills into his palm and stuffed them into Lin Jingming's mouth.
Lin Jingming wanted to vomit, but Xia Zhitang covered his mouth to stop him.
"Swallow it!" Xia Zhitang started to get angry, and his expression became ferocious.
Lin Jingming licked her palm but refused.
Xia Zhitang was so angry that her temples were throbbing, but her mind kept thinking about how crazy he was when he dragged her to confront Su Wen at the police station. She inexplicably realized that she couldn't do this now.
"Forget it if you don't want to take it." She sighed and let go of Lin Jingming, allowing him to spit out all the medicine.
Xia Zhitang forced himself to ignore the mess on the floor and pulled a stool to sit in front of him: "What do you want in exchange for cooperating with the treatment?"
"How about a kiss first?" Lin Jingming crossed his legs and lifted Xia Zhitang's calf.
Xia Zhitang tried hard to suppress the urge to hit him with a pillow.
"How about you calm down first, and then I'll talk to you?" She picked up her bag and pretended to leave.
"Really leaving?" Lin Jingming's expression fell.
"Lin Jingming, can we communicate properly?" Xia Zhitang couldn't help twisting Lin Jingming's ear, "Delete the dirty stuff in your head first."
"You were the one who ran away first." Lin Jingming was the first to feel wronged. "Xia Zhitang, don't think I can't see it."
"Okay, if you don't want to explain it properly, I'll summarize it for you." Xia Zhitang let go of Lin Jingming's ear and looked at him steadily. "You just want me to help you edit the video, right?"
"What do you mean by help me? This is also your work. It's us, us!" He emphasized the word "we" again.
"Okay, I'll supervise the editing, but you have to cooperate with the treatment." Xia Zhitang grabbed Lin Jingming's collar and said, "If you don't take your medicine properly, I'll delete your project."
Lin Jingming suddenly coughed and bent over in pain, resting his forehead on Xia Zhitang's shoulder.
Xia Zhitang felt extremely bored for a moment. They quarreled with each other, but it was just Lin Jingming who realized her estrangement and was deliberately making things awkward. In fact, no problem was solved.
"Lin Jingming, I'm not your life-saving straw." Xia Zhitang suddenly whispered in his ear.
Lin Jingming coughed and then laughed: "My dear, you are my muse."
He put his arm around Xia Zhitang's waist and kissed her neck: "I'm very happy to work on the project with you."
Xia Zhitang couldn't help but tremble. In a flash, she connected all the little things about their time in Tibet. It was her own choice that led to today's result.
"Don't be afraid, you are born to do this job." Lin Jingming whispered in her ear, "I told you this is God's will, it's fate."
"Lin Jingming, I don't believe in fate." Xia Zhitang pushed him away. "Now, take the medicine."
"Okay." He looked at Xia Zhitang with a smile. This time he would not let go.
Xia Zhitang opened the door in a daze and saw Gu Zian working out in the living room.
His smooth muscles shone in the light, making him look extremely sexy.
"Sister's back?" He wiped the sweat off his face and got off the treadmill. "Auntie Wang made some chicken soup and is bringing it to us. She said you need to nourish yourself after coming back from Tibet."
"Okay." Xia Zhitang walked over, stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Zian on the cheek.
"I'm sweating a lot. I'm going to take a shower first." Gu Zian restrained himself and kissed her on the corner of her mouth.
"Very sexy." Xia Zhitang took the initiative to hug Gu Zian's waist, "Together?"
"Sister, do you miss me so much?" Gu Zian picked up Xia Zhitang and ran into the bathroom.
Xia Zhitang's hand was on the bathroom sink, and the diamond ring on her neck was hanging in the air, shaking constantly, reflecting colorful light.
With a blushing face, she looked at Gu Zian who kept calling her name through the anti-fog mirror, and carefully felt the hot warmth he brought.
As a normal person, she chose Gu Zian, the warm and gentle Gu Zian.
When the two came out of the room holding hands and wearing the same pajamas, Mother Wang was already busy in the kitchen.
While drinking the warm chicken soup, Xia Zhitang inexplicably felt that the ordinary smell of fireworks seemed to touch a chord in her heart, making her so moved that she wanted to cry.
"Are you busy with anything lately?" Gu Zian picked up a piece of Xia Zhitang's favorite cola chicken wings.
Xia Zhitang paused as he held the chicken wing in his hand. "I have to supervise the editing next week."
"Is editing also required of you?" Gu Zian raised his eyebrows.
"After all, the director is still in the hospital." Xia Zhitang sighed, "After all, this is the material I personally filmed on the scene with great effort. Now that I've started, I have to see it through to the end."
"Tangtang, don't blame Aunt Wang for being nosy." Aunt Wang couldn't help but interrupt, "Wild beasts are too dangerous. China is so big, let's go down and shoot something safe."
"Yes, I promised Zi'an." Xia Zhitang held Gu Zi'an's hand under the table.
Mother Wang patted her chest and said with relief: "You don't know, during that time, Zi'an was so worried on the set that he couldn't eat or sleep well. Xiao Wang even said that he had lost weight."
"Auntie Wang." Gu Zian interrupted her embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Xia Zhitang squeezed Gu Zian's hand and put a chicken wing into his bowl. "Eat something sweet to replenish your energy."
Under the warm yellow chandelier, there were several plates of steaming home-cooked dishes, and the three of them were chatting about family matters while eating.
At one moment, Xia Zhitang thought of Lin Jingming who was alone in the hospital.
"What's wrong with sister?" Gu Zian looked up and found Xia Zhitang in a daze.
"I'm thinking about the arrangements for the future work. I need to assign people for publicity and promotion." Xia Zhitang made up an excuse and prepared to send a message to Lin Jingming after dinner to remind him to eat well.
"By the way, Lin Jingming saved you this time. I asked Mr. Cheng what would be a suitable gift to repay the favor." Gu Zian suddenly mentioned Lin Jingming. "Mr. Cheng said that Lin Jingming is raising money to make a documentary. Why not just invest in one for him?"
"Is it too expensive?" Xia Zhitang looked up at Gu Zian.
"After all, I saved you, and investing in a documentary is not expensive. We don't need to owe him a favor." Gu Zian was afraid that Lin Jingming would threaten Xia Zhitang with the grace of saving his life, so he decided to spend some money to shut Lin Jingming up.
"Zi'an." Xia Zhitang held his hand and felt warm in his heart.
"I'll give Tangtang another bowl of soup." Aunt Wang retreated to the kitchen with great tact.
Gu Zian put his arm around Xia Zhitang's waist and said, "I should thank him for saving you."
He came over to kiss Xia Zhitang, but Xia Zhitang smiled and covered her mouth: "There's still oil on my mouth."
"Let me wipe it for you." Gu Zian pried her hands apart and kissed them.
Xia Zhitang put his arms around Gu Zian's neck and sat on his lap.
Mother Wang secretly glanced at the two people hugging each other through the gap in the kitchen, and smiled as she turned on the gas stove to heat up the still warm soup in the casserole.
"Why were you discharged from the hospital?" In the editing room, Xia Zhitang looked at Lin Jingming who was coughing while watching a movie.
"I won't recover anytime soon, but I won't die either. I can just recuperate at home." Lin Jingming threw a tissue into the trash can. "Work is what makes people happy."
Xia Zhitang shook his head and continued to record the revisions that Lin Jingming mentioned.
After Lin Jingming couldn't help coughing in the middle of his speech again, Xia Zhitang picked up his phone and asked his assistant to bring in a pot of honey water.
Lin Jingming watched Xia Zhitang pour honey water into his cup: "Do you feel sorry for me?"
He put his arm around Xia Zhitang's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Don't push me away if you feel bad for me. How do you know I can't do it if you don't try?"
Xia Zhitang's hand touched Lin Jingming's face, but his eyes were cold: "Why should I try?"
"You will find that the world is so vast." Lin Jingming wanted to grab Xia Zhitang's hand, but she pulled it away first.
Xia Zhitang's fingertips slowly slid from the bridge of his nose to the tip of the pen: "Lin Jingming, freedom without a bottom line."
She suddenly smiled coldly and pointed her finger at Lin Jingming's temples like a gun: "You will fall into endless darkness."
"Xia Xia, there's no such thing as black and white in this world." Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang with a smile, "All those strings are just constraints for ordinary people."
Xia Zhitang suddenly felt bored. She distanced herself from Lin Jingming and her eyes fell on the scene on the screen where a herdsman and his daughter-in-law were delivering a cow.
"Lin Jingming, I'm willing to be an ordinary person." She pointed at the young herder on the screen who was looking at the calf in surprise. "You can't act out that kind of infectious smile."
"But I can capture all kinds of human life." Lin Jingming couldn't help but move closer to Xia Zhitang, but she pushed him away by lightly touching his forehead with her fingertips.
"Your mentality is wrong. You are a human being. Don't think of yourself as a god." Xia Zhitang was really annoyed with him, so he filled his glass with honey water and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lin Jingming took the cup and took a sip with a smile: "It's so sweet to my heart, Xia Xia, let me be your man."
Xia Zhitang glanced at him sideways, and the liveliness in his eyes made Lin Jingming's heart beat fast.
She parted her red lips slightly, but the words that came out were as cold as an icy spring: "Lin Jingming, how can your body compare to Zi'an's?"
She glanced down at his body, "You don't expect me to move, do you?"
Lin Jingming laughed out of anger. He wanted to grab Xia Zhitang's hand to let her feel her own capital, but she dodged him in advance.
"Cure your cough first and then talk to me." Xia Zhitang quickly got to the door and put his hand on the doorknob. "I have very high standards for men."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jingming couldn't help coughing, and Xia Zhitang held the handrail and laughed so hard that her body shook.
"Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?" Lin Jingming finally stopped coughing and glared at her with a red face.
"Are you angry? Then take your medicine properly." Xia Zhitang opened the door. "You are not Lin Daiyu. I don't like you."
The door closed and Lin Jingming took out the medicine box with a stern face and drank it with honey water.
