The injuries of Jiang Yu and Fang Miao were not serious, so after another day in the hospital, they were discharged. On the day of discharge, Fang Miao’s manager found him a new assistant named Xiao Gao, a young man who is a good worker, tall and thin.

After packing Fang Miao’s luggage, Xiao Gao went to go through the discharge procedure, Jiang Yu asked Fang Miao, “Why is no one here to pick you up today?” Fang Hua, Qiao Xin, nor Qin Shen came.

“My parents have something to do, and my brother is on a business trip, so he won’t be back for a week.” After solving Sun Fei Fei, Fang Miao was refreshed, but he was a bit reluctant, “You said to only drive her away, is it too cheap for her?”

Jiang Yu asked, “Then what else do you want to do?”

Fang Miao was embarrassed. After thinking about it, he clenched his fists and said, “I will spare her this time. If there is another time when she doesn’t give up and wants to harm the people around me, I will definitely not let her go.”

The two of them missed a few days of scenes, and as soon as they returned to the set, they rushed to make up for it. The weather was getting colder and colder, and they even had to shoot several outdoor scenes, and in order for them to look good, the costumes are very thin, so their hands and feet were frozen cold.

“Winter …… winter filming is so hard?” Even though Jiang Yu was wrapped in a heavy down jacket and holding a hot water bag in his arms, he was still shivering.

“We are still good. If we shoot summer scenes in winter, now that will be a crime.” Fang Miao put baby warmers (1) in his body, on his back, arms, legs and feet, as long as the clothes could block it. After he pasted them everywhere, he motioned to Jiang Yu, “Yu’er come here, and I’ll pit it for you too.”

The two of them finished putting on the baby warmers, wrapped in down jackets, and standing by the side of the field, holding the hot cocoa that Xiao Gao had just bought, watching Zhuo Rui shoot the scene on the field.

In this scene Zhuo Rui is more miserable since he has to wear a single coat and be barefoot. The scene was a long internal monologue, so the facial expressions and body language has to show the sadness and heaviness. It was a full five minutes long scene, so if something was a little wrong, he would need to reshoot.

There had been several NG already, and it was because either Fang Hua was not satisfied, or Zhuo Rui was not satisfied. Zhuo Rui wearing only a single coat and barefoot standing in the cold wind has been almost half an hour.

“Being the movie Xingying is not good either.” Fang Miao sighed. Zhuo Rui was very dedicated when filming although Zhuo Rui was usually a bit of a coward.

The consequence of dedication was that the next day Zhuo Rui fell ill with the flu.

Zhuo Rui usually took good care of him in the crew and taught him to act, so when Jiang Yu finished work, he went back to the hotel and went to visit Zhuo Rui with the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes he had just bought outside.

The room that Zhuo Rui lives in is a suite, his assistant opened the door, Jiang Yu went in, walked into the room door, and saw Zhuo Rui wrapped in a bathrobe leaning against the bed, showing most of his pectoral muscles, in a video with someone, smiling smuttily (2).

Seeing Jiang Yu come in, the corners of Zhuo Rui’s mouth stiffened, and he hurriedly closed his computer, glaring angrily at his assistant.

The assistant was very innocent; when he just went to open the door, Zhuo Rui was still just talking to someone on the phone. It was just a few minutes, so how come it was now a video.

“Xiao Yu, you’ve come to see me have a seat.” Zhuo Rui fixed his bathrobe and showed a dignified and disciplined smile

He has already negotiated a contract with Xingying Media. When the film is finished and the contract with the previous company expires, he will sign with Xingying Media. At that time, Mr. Qin will be his big boss, and Xiao Yu’er will be the boss’s wife.

He was angry when he talked about this matter. President Qin from Xingying Media was so shameless and shameless that he made him be on the hot search, but then he contacted him to sign him under the Xingying Media banner. Originally, he was prepared to say righteous words and refused without even thinking about it, but he thought that he had flirted with the big boss’s person. If he refused to sign the contract, he would be sent to the hot search for a vengeful person who had dinner with Xiao Yu’er. Can he still live a good life in the future?

So, he signed up with Star Cinema Media, not because of the generous terms of the contract, but because he was threatened and really endured too much humiliation for the sake of his future and career.

Zhuo Rui sighed in his heart, and became more attentive to Jiang Yu, “What do you want to drink? I have juice and milk here. If there is nothing you want to drink, I will let someone buy it.” Hug the thigh.

“Weren’t you sick?” Seeing Zhuo Rui’s lively appearance, Jiang Yu asked.

“Your brother Zhuo has a great body. It’s just a cold; I’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.” Zhuo Rui jumped out of bed and was about to show his strong biceps, but he jumped too hard, so he felt dizzy. He waved his hands like wings since he almost fell, but fortunately, the assistant was next to hold him.

“Brother Zhuo, you’d better lie down and rest.” Jiang Yu looked at him worriedly and held the baked sweet potato out in front of him, “I bought them downstairs. Do want to eat one?”

“Thanks.” Zhuo Rui reached out to take it, in his heart, baked sweet potatoes were such low-end and girly things that real men do not eat, but because the boss lady gave it, he did not refuse out of courtesy.

The assistant knew his thoughts and took the baked sweet potato from his hand and cheerfully said, “Brother Zhuo doesn’t like to eat these, I’ll help him eat.” After saying that, he broke open the hot baked sweet potato. It was yellow and the oily sweet potato flesh was exposed. Zhuo Rui smelled the fragrance next to him and could not help but gulp.

The door of the room was knocked again, so the assistant went to open the door, and Fang Miao, who came in, saw Jiang Yu and said, “Xiao Yu, you also came to see brother Zhuo. What are you eating?”

“Baked sweet potato. I will share half of it with you.” Jiang Yu broke half of his own and gave it to him.

Three people were eating together sweetly. Zhuo Rui speechlessly rolled his eyes in his heart. Where they here to see him, or to eat in front of him?

Seeing that the assistant was about to finish a whole baked sweet potato, Zhuo Rui could not resist kicking him, “Save some for me.”

The assistant originally wanted to say ‘you do not eat this low-end food’, but he saw his fierce eyes, swallowed the words, and shared half of the remaining baked sweet potato with him.

Zhuo Rui took a bite, and his heart was shocked. Fuck. It was delicious.

He ate while looking at Fang Miao. According to high-level insiders of Xingying Media, Fang Miao, this little fresh meat, was a top brand of Xingying Media, because he is the half-brother of the big boss.

What kind of crew did he get into? One was the boss lady and the other the younger brother, and the two ancestors were on top of him.

He’s a man under a lot of pressure. Zhuo Rui lamented for himself in his heart, and after eating the roasted sweet potato in a few mouthfuls, he took out two pieces of paper and wiped his fingers.

“Brother Zhuo, you have a good figure, how do you usually exercise?” Fang Miao opened his mouth and asked vainly.

Hearing someone praise him, Zhuo Rui proudly said, “I don’t exercise much; I was born with a good figure. There’s nothing I can do.”

“I tell you; You can easily tell when one deliberate exercises.” He couldn’t hear the bragging, so he got up, ripped open his chest, rolled up his sleeves, and showed his figure, “Look at this brother’s pectoral muscles, these abs, these biceps, those who are humming and puffing with exercise every day, who can compare? Do you want to touch it, come, brother will let you touch, feel free to touch.”

Fang Miao was eager to try, but the phone rang, so he picked it up a few rings, and then said: “I’m with Zhuo Rui; he is sick, so I came to see him. Xiao Yu also came before me and brought food for Brother Zhuo. Of course, Brother Zhuo is happy. How long before me? It’s been a while, I don’t know. Brother, why do you ask so many questions? By the way, Brother Zhuo just showed me and Xiao Yu’er his body. He took off his clothes, and let Xiao Yu’er and I touch him. That pectoral muscle, abs, biceps, brother, let me tell you, it’s not worse than you. ” (A moment of silence for Zhou Rui)

Fang Miao said and winked at Zhuo Rui, implying, I’m complimenting you oh.

…… you are complimenting me? You are letting me die ah. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.

Fang Miao didn’t know that he finished answering the phone, Zhuo Rui suddenly became full of vicissitudes. He wrapped up like a girl. He was dead set in not letting them touch his pectoral muscles, abs, nor biceps.

When the two came out of Zhuo Rui’s room, Jiang Yu asked, “It’s been a week; has your brother come back?”

Fang Miao shook his head, “There was some accident in the project there, so my brother has to stay there for a while. It’s estimated to be a month.”

A month …… Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. His fingers unconsciously put on the small of his belly.

It was another week after starting with work and ending with work every day. When Jiang Yu woke up on this day, he found that something was wrong with him, his legs were weak, and his lower abdomen was uncomfortable. It was the fish eggs that were restless again.

Fortunately, today’s shooting were indoor scenes. He only had to do two or three scenes. In between shootings, he wrapped himself in a down jacket lying on a chair to rest. When Fang Miao saw that he was a bit out of spirits, he took advantage of his free time to ask him, “Xiao Yu, what’s wrong with you? Sick?”

Jiang Yu shook his head, braced himself, and said, “I forgot something in your brother’s house. I want to go get it later.”

Fang Miao said uneasily, “Does it have to be today? I have a lot of scenes today, and I’m afraid I’ll be shooting into the night, so I can’t go with you.”

Jiang Yu said, “It’s okay, I can go by myself. I’m not feeling well, so I’ll go to the hospital.”

Fang Miao said, “Okay then, you remember to go to the hospital.” Then he asked his assistant to bring the key to the house and gave it to Jiang Yu.

After the scenes were finished, Jiang Yu left his assistant and took a taxi to Qin Shen’s house by himself.

The house was cold and empty, and it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time. As soon as Jiang Yu entered the door, he walked up the stairs and entered the room where Qin Shen slept.

The room was even colder, Jiang Yu’s frozen fingers turned on the room’s heating, and hastily took off his clothes and went to bed to wrap in Qin Shen’s quilt tightly.

Qin Shen should have not come to live here for a long time. The bed and quilt had barely any of the owner’s breath. Jiang Yu wrapped in the quilt for a while, still feeling bad. He lifted the quilt, stumbled out of bed holding his belly, opened Qin Shen’s closet, his fingers stopped at a shirt that was slightly softer than the others and should be worn often.

Qin Shen drove out of the company. The project encountered some trouble this time. It was originally expected to be delayed for a month. Fortunately, it was solved in time. He returned to China ahead of schedule to handle the domestic project and left his assistant to finish the project there.

He didn’t know how the weather was back in China, so when going on the plane, he was wearing something light, but after a day in the company, he got a little dizzy when he came out, and his throat was a little sore.

The dizziness was making driving difficult. It takes at least an hour to drive home from work. He looked at the time and decided to go to the house next to the company to stay overnight.

Driving to the house, entering the elevator, and going upstairs. Qin Shen took off his coat and threw it on the sofa while walking, then walked to the second floor, ready to go back to his room to change clothes. (Déjà vu?)

As soon as he reached the door of the room, he saw the light from the room through the crack of the door. He paused for a while and had a guess in his heart. He gently opened the door, walked in, and saw that the quilt on the bed was wrapped in a ball.

He leaned against the door with his arms, and couldn’t help but smile lightly, this child is really interesting, why does he always like to run to his bed to sleep?

He stood in the doorway for a while, then walked towards the bed, ready to wake up the young man to see what excuse he had this time.

Qin Shen stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt so that he could look at the person under the quilt. He stood choked. The young man was wearing a shirt, and at first glance, it belonged to him but was wearing nothing underneath it.

Qin Shen’s eyes turned dark, and he stared at the young man for a while, only to find that he was a little out of place. The little face was frowning, tightly biting his lips, curled up holding his belly, seems to be very difficult, from time to time struggling in the bed.

“Jiang Yu?” Qin Shen reached out to cover his forehead, it was hot, and when he was about to call a doctor, Jiang Yu seemed to notice him, his forehead rubbed against his palm, then reached out to hold his palm and put it on his soft little belly.

…… What is he doing? Qin Shen was not at ease and wanted to draw out the palm to call, but originally calmed down Jiang Yu struggled again and reached out to hug his arm, not letting go.

After several attempts, Qin Shen’s head was dizzy again, and he simply lifted the quilt and went to bed. Sensing his breath, Jiang Yu closed his eyes and rubbed into his arms, holding his arms with both hands.

The hair on the chin of the young man was a little itchy, so Qin Shen changed his position to hold him in his arms. The palm of his hand on the small belly of the young man moved, soft, there was quite a lot of meat. Is the young man is eating too much or did he grow fat?

After holding the young man for a while, Qin Shen used his other hand to feel his forehead, it was no longer hot. This is not the first time he encountered a young man like this. Qin Shen’s doubts deepened, but his head was dizzy and aching, so he pinched his brow and did not think about it for the moment, and soon closed his eyes against the pillow.

Jiang Yu woke up and rubbed his eyes, then hot breathing sprayed on his neck from behind, and his relaxed body froze. Only then did he realize that he seemed to be leaning on someone’s arms, and that person’s arms were still wrapped around his waist, the warm palms loosely covering his lower abdomen.

…… No, no, it can’t be, didn’t Miao Miao said that it would take a month to return? Jiang Yu stiffened for a moment, in his brain he was quickly looking for excuses, but he thought for half a day and could not think of any.

Forget it. He better hurry up and slip away. While the person behind him did not move and did not wake up. He pursed his lips and reached out to move his arms away from his waist little by little, and then gently lifted the covers, and quietly slipped out of the bed.

After slipping out of bed, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and changed them. The person on the bed remained silent. He sneaked to the head of the bed to take a look and found that Qin Shen’s clothes were still intact, his eyes were closed, and his lips were a little pale.

Thinking about how the breath that sprayed on his neck was a little too hot, Jiang Yu reached out and touched his forehead. It was scary hot.

Is he sick? Jiang Yu pulled the quilt to cover him up, looked in the room and downstairs living room, but did not find the medicine box.

When he remembered that there was a pharmacy across the street, Jiang Yu took his keys and went out to buy medicine for Qin Shen.

Today was even colder than yesterday, and the wind was blowing terribly. Jiang Yu pulled up the collar of his coat and put on the hood of his down jacket, calling Fang Miao as he walked along the road.

As soon as he got through, he asked on the phone, “Yu’er, where are you?”

Jiang Yu said, “I’m outside. I may be late in the morning. Please tell the director for me.”

Xiao Fang said, “No need to say, the director said that it’s too windy and the outdoor scenes would not be able to be to shot. The studio is being used by another crew today, so our crew will take a day off and shoot tomorrow.”

Hearing about the one-day holiday, Jiang Yu spoke to Fang Miao some more and hung up the phone with relief.

There was a car parked on the side of the road next to the pharmacy. Jiang Yu didn’t pay attention to it and entering the pharmacy and exiting the pharmacy, both hurried past the car.

When he entered the community, the person in the driver’s seat holding a camera and taking pictures hurriedly instructed the person in the co-pilot, “This seems to be Jiang Yu, quickly call the second youngest, and say that the young star called Jiang Yu is in the house on this side of Star Media.”

Jiang Yu went back to the house, first to the kitchen to boil water, and was about to go upstairs to see Qin Shen, when he heard the sound of a cell phone ringing from Qin Shen’s coat on the sofa.

He took out his mobile phone from his coat, opened it to answer, and heard Assistant Qin Shen’s voice inside, “President Qin.”

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “Mr. Qin is sick. Can you come over to see him?”

The assistant hesitated on the phone for a moment, “…… Jiang Yu? You’re with Mr. Qin?”

“Mm.” Jiang Yu was a little unsure of how to explain, and only hurriedly said, “It’s in the house on this side of Xingying Media. Come over and take a look at him; his forehead is very hot and he hasn’t woken up.”

It turns out that the house over there has become the place where his family’s President Qin was hiding his mistress, and he went there to spend the night with someone as soon as he returned home yesterday. The assistant tsked in his heart, but said slowly, “Xiao Yu, I’m abroad now, I can’t rush back.”

Jiang Yu was stunned, “…… then what do I do?”

“Since you’re there, I’ll have to ask you to help take care of Mr. Qin.” The assistant said, “Does Mr. Qin only have a hot forehead? Then it should be cold from not adapting to the weather back home, so look around the house to see if there is any medicine to reduce fever from a cold and have him take it.”

Jiang Yu meekly said, “I searched, but there was none, so I have gone to the pharmacy outside and bought it back.”

“That’s good.” The assistant said with satisfaction, “It’s morning there now, right? After you let him take the medicine, then cook some porridge or something for him to eat. You know how to cook, right?”

Jiang Yu said, “Yes, I can.”

“Then I’ll be grateful to you for taking care of Mr. Qin.” The assistant gave a few more instructions before the two hung up the phone.

Since Qin Shen’s assistant had already said so, and there was no need to shoot today, Jiang Yu had to stay and take care of Qin Shen. He saw that the water in the kitchen was boiling yet, so he went upstairs to see Qin Shen.

Qin Shen was lying on the bed, his eyes were still tightly closed, and he was not awake.

Jiang Yu sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for the water to boil downstairs while holding his chin up to look at Qin Shen.

Qin Shen only took off his outer coat and slept on the bed, without taking off any other clothes on his body. This is not comfortable to sleep. Jiang Yu wanted to help him undress, but Qin Shen is too heavy. He tried to help Qin Shen take off the top of the clothes but did not succeed. As for the pants, although he can take them off, he was embarrassed and had to go like this.

After sitting for a while, he reached out and touched Qin Shen’s forehead, which was still very hot. Recalling what Assistant Qin Shen told him just now, he went into the bathroom and took out a basin of water, wet it with a towel, wring it out, and put it on Qin Shen’s forehead.
