Entering from the entrance of the mall, the first thing you arrive at is the daily necessities area.
Shao Si followed behind, pushing the cart with one hand, stuffing the other hand in his pocket, and stopped by the side after walking two steps. Gu Yanzhou threw something into it, he bent down to take a look, and then calmly reminded him: "...I, well, I'm hungry."
After Shao Si finished speaking, Gu Yanzhou skillfully and naturally threw a towel into the cart.
"I'm really hungry." Shao Si said, hungry and idle, picked it up with his fingers, and looked at it carefully.
HelloKitty pattern, pink and white, surrounded by sweet and greasy candies. Shao Si paused and said, "Your taste..."
Gu Yanzhou took another blue jingle cat, and looking back at his expression, he knew that he was thinking wrong: "Didn't I tell you at dinner yesterday, forgot? Shengsheng is coming to stay for two days."
In a few days, when Gu Feng was on a business trip, there was no one at home, so Gu Sheng clamored to come over. Gu Feng thought that Gu Yanzhou was usually busier than him running around, so how could he have the time to take care of her. As a result, he called and asked, and his younger brother, who was open all year round for 365 days, told him, okay, let her come over, he happened to be off these two days.
"Ah... Gu Sheng?" Shao Si recalled the little girl who was filming the commercial together back then, "You won't point me to take care of her, will you? I've never raised a child before."
Gu Yanzhou said: "It's okay, I just happen to be resting for a few days."
Anyway, he is the master, he has the final say.
Shao Si didn't dare to think about the scene of letting him get along with a kid all day and night.
Together, the two picked out children's toothbrushes, fruit-flavored toothpaste, and a big bag of something like dog food that was said to be soaked in milk in the morning.
"It should be delicious, although it really looks like dog food." Shao Si held it and looked at the nutritional label on the back, "Supplementing protein... How about a bag?"
Gu Sheng should have never eaten this kind of food, so Gu Yanzhou moved closer to look at the bag Shao Si was holding in his hand: "Where do you find it delicious?"
"The cover," Shao Si turned it over again, pointing to the little European and American girl on the cover who was eating with a spoon in her mouth, "Look at her."
"..."
The two walked together from the food area to the children's toy area. For the first time, their opinions diverged on toys.
Gu Yanzhou held two Barbie dolls and asked him, "Which one looks better?"
Shao Si frowned, facing the two similar faces and dresses, he couldn't make a choice for a while: "What's the difference between the two."
"The colors are different, and the looks are also different." Gu Yanzhou pointed to one of them, and then pointed to the other, "Purple, pink."
Even if the two of them wore masks and changed their clothes, they couldn't hide in the crowd at all.
The way he walks, the way he talks with his head slightly tilted, the outline of his face that cannot be covered by the mask.
And temperament.
People like them are full of dazzling light in their bones.
"You follow behind first, be careful, I will go around to the other side to take pictures."
About two or three shelves away from them, there were two furtive figures, whispering head to head.
One of them hesitated, holding the camera, he said, "But these two people are really..."
"Why do you care so much? It doesn't matter if it's them or not, as long as they resemble each other, that's enough." The other one was obviously a lot bolder, and he smiled wretchedly, "It's a good time for us to meet each other this time." We have made a lot of money, as long as we take photos and sell them, we will definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money.”
The person holding the camera couldn't help shivering when he saw his smile.
"..." Gu Yanzhou was still picking out dolls, but after a while, he finally couldn't help it, and said, "Those two people in the back think we are fools?"
Shao Si had also noticed the two people in Chaoyang District long ago.
Their follow-up skills are really bad. When they first took pictures, they forgot to turn the camera on silent, and there was a "click", and then they pretended that they didn't hear it.
The man was trembling with the camera in his hand, it seemed that he didn't do bad things usually. He just did a great job, and the two people in the camera suddenly disappeared!
He put down the camera and looked around on his feet. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder from behind.
"Hello," looking back, I saw Shao Si standing behind him, leaning against the edge of the shelf, reaching out to him, "Take it here, be conscious."
"..."
Shao Si and Gu Yanzhou are actually not afraid of others saying that they did go shopping together, since it is a fact, there is nothing to deny. It doesn't matter to the media if they want to report it, it doesn't matter who is in the way of shopping.
But this kind of sneaky and random shooting is very annoying.
Waiting for another sneak shot to take a long way, he thought he would go around quietly to the opposite side, but found that there was no one there.
So he went back to where he was, and asked him, "What happened, man?"
After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly checked the camera. Sure enough, the few photos he took just now had been deleted.
Before he had time to get angry, he saw his companion say to him in a trance, "I might become a fan of Shao Si...he's a bit handsome..."
"..."
ten minutes later.
Shao Si stood at the exit and waited for Gu Yanzhou to pay the bill. By the way, he answered a phone call. He saw that the caller ID was a string of unfamiliar numbers, and he didn't know who it was: "Hi, hello."
No one spoke for a long time, and Shao Si didn't have much patience to wait for him. Just as he was about to put down the phone, a woman's voice came out from the receiver: "You, hello. Are you... Shao Si?"
She paused and said, "I'm Dai Wei's friend—her pseudonym is Yiyi."
Shao Si was leaning against the wall, looking very relaxed, but when he heard the word "Dai Wei", he immediately stood up straight.
Since he knew his phone number, he must have read the private message on Weibo.
"She hasn't been on Weibo for a long time. I sometimes help her to check it out. I saw the message you sent just now." Her voice was trembling, "I thought it was a dream... I said God wouldn't treat her like that unfair… "
Shao Si glanced at Gu Yanzhou, then turned around and took two steps outside: "Don't worry, speak slowly."
In the private message he sent her on Weibo, he didn't actually say anything, he just said that he knew about their situation and asked if there was anything he could do to help. I didn't say what I know in detail, for fear that if I talk too much, it will appear too enthusiastic.
Fortunately, it was seen by Dai Wei's friend, otherwise, according to Dai Wei's temperament, she must not want to trouble others, and this matter will be settled in the end.
Dai Wei's friend's surname is Fang, and her name is Fang Jing.
She is standing in the corridor of the hospital now, there are many nurses pushing trolleys and patients in wheelchairs coming and going, the breath is full of the hospital's unique smell of disinfectant, her voice is a little anxious: "she Now receiving treatment at the People's Hospital, it is... leukemia, and the situation is not very good."
After Gu Yanzhou paid the bill, he came out with the bag, and saw Shao Si holding the mobile phone, looking thoughtful, he didn't know where he went.
"What, fainted from hunger?" Gu Yanzhou unpacked a box of yogurt, inserted a straw and handed it to him.
Shao Si came back to his senses and took it: "...um, thank you."
As a result, Shao Si didn't say much until he got home.
Gu Yanzhou only thought that he had waited too long and was a little irritable due to hunger. Then, while he was chopping vegetables, Shao Si wobbled to the door of the kitchen, stood watching for a while, and suddenly asked him: "Can leukemia be cured?"
"It depends on the severity of the disease, and see if there is a suitable bone marrow that can be transplanted." Gu Yanzhou cut the broccoli into thumb-sized pieces, and said, "If you are lucky, the disease can be controlled, but even if you find a suitable bone marrow, the operation may not be successful. .The chances of recovery are slim.”
After he finished speaking, he turned off the fire and asked again: "What? Who got sick?"
Shao Si didn't shy away from him, and said bluntly, "Yi Yi, the one who wrote the novel. I'll go to the hospital to see her tomorrow."
He has never been in the habit of reporting his itinerary to others, probably because of Gu Yanzhou's influence, he actually felt that it was necessary for him to tell him.
Gu Yanzhou took out the steak, put the broccoli in the boiling water again, and finally poured the sauce on it, saying: "Tomorrow I will rest."
Shao Si stared at the dinner plate, his mind was full of dinner, he didn't think about it: "Huh?"
Gu Yanzhou didn't expect him to understand anything from the sentence just now, he washed his hands and took out his portion: "... eat your meal."
Gu Yanzhou fried the steak really well.
Shao Si took two bites, and for some reason, suddenly remembered what Fang Jing had said to him on the phone just now.
"The time for treatment was too late. Only she and her grandparents were left in Weiwei's family. The old man was getting old. Weiwei didn't want them to worry. The family's economic conditions can't afford such a serious illness..."
the next day. The entrance of the People's Hospital.
It was just dawn, and the first person to appear at the door of Dai Wei's ward was not Shao Si, nor was it anyone they were familiar with before.
"Hello, I, I'm a reporter from Bowen News Agency." A pretty girl stood at the door, and when someone opened the door, she went up to meet someone and whispered, "My name is Li Yuan, and this is my press card."
Fang Jing looked defensive.
Dai Wei has already woken up. She has not been feeling well for the past two days. She has been sleeping intermittently and can't sleep well. She was lying on the hospital bed, her waist-length hair had all fallen out due to chemotherapy. She opened her mouth and asked softly, "Who is it?"
Fang Jing turned her head to comfort her: "I came to ask for directions... It's okay, you can sleep a little longer, it's only five o'clock now."
After Fang Jing finished speaking, she immediately closed the door of the ward. With a thermos in her hand, she was about to go out to fetch water: "I don't know what you came to us for... But sorry, we don't accept interviews."
Fang Jing and Dai Wei have been good girlfriends for many years. They grew up wearing crotch pants together, and they know Dai Wei's temper clearly. After she finished chemotherapy last time, she gave her Weibo account and password to clear all Weibo on it, and she knew that this silly girl was planning to leave cleanly at the last moment of her life.
Regarding everything brought about by that novel, she didn't want to pursue it anymore, and she was unable to pursue it anymore.
When people reach this point, it is inevitable that they will have a lot of emotions. Dai Wei feels better now, so she sits on the hospital bed and recites the Buddha's name. Maybe this can bring her some hope and relief.
Li Yuan was not discouraged after being rejected, she followed Fang Jing all the way to the water room, and continued while she was receiving the hot water: "Now the reports on Miss Dai Wei are all talking nonsense with open eyes. The filming of a couple in Yishi started, and Qi Xiayang's agent came to buy the manuscript and asked us to write a reversal, saying that Miss Dai Wei actually plagiarized, but he bit them back."
The hot water was steaming, like auspicious clouds, billowing upwards. Fang Jing's eyes were so smothered by the steam that he couldn't see clearly, and he felt that his eyes were hazy.
Mixed with the sound of water flowing into the thermos, Fang Jing said after a long time: "Then what do you want to do here, Miss Li?"
"I want to state the reality," Li Yuan tightened his grip on the strap of his schoolbag slightly, his eyes sparkled, and he said again loudly, "I want to know the truth."
Fang Jing smiled.
There is no lack of sarcasm in his expression.
She said: "About a month ago, a reporter like you also came to the hospital to find us."
Her voice was very soft, probably because she had been taking care of Dai Wei for a long time, and she was used to speaking softly, but there was a bit of sarcasm hidden in such a thin voice.
"Xiaowei didn't want to see her, but I agreed. I think we should let everyone know how she is doing now. When Qi Xiayang became famous, she was still worrying about the operation fee. We scraped together everything, but we couldn't make up enough. Five hundred thousand."
There is no money, which is unexpected—even if a suitable bone marrow is found, there is no way to perform a transplant operation.
"I thought we could launch a fundraiser through the media."
Fang Jing didn't say any more.
Li Yuan is also a reporter himself, so he is very familiar with the affairs in the circle. The final outcome of this matter... nine out of ten is that the report was cut by the top, and there was no chance to meet the masses at all.
Or go too far, delete and delete, and finally form a false report.
After Fang Jing finished fetching water, she screwed on the cap of the thermos cup. When she twisted it, the water in the cup was filled too slowly, causing her hand to accidentally splash the scalding boiling water.
Li Yuan hurried up two steps, grabbed the thermos cup, and held it for her: "Are you okay, rinse it with cold water..."
Fang Jing glanced at her, covered the back of her hand, and took the cup over slowly: "It's okay, you go back, we won't accept interviews. I don't want her to become your gimmick and traffic earner again." tool."
Li Yuan stood in the water room, watching Fang Jing go out, she looked down at her press card again, and didn't move for a long time.
the other side.
Shao Si woke up very early. Yesterday, when talking on the phone with Fang Jing, he learned from her that Dai Wei's health would be better around nine o'clock every day, and she would be suitable for seeing guests.
However, just as Shao Si was sitting in the dining room having breakfast, and was about to leave after eating, Gu Yanzhou happened to come back from a morning run outside: "It's so early? Wait a minute, I'll take a shower."
Shao Si picked up the milk and drank it. After taking two sips, he thought about it and said, "Gu Yanzhou, do I have an appointment with you?" Why wait for him
Gu Yanzhou turned into the kitchen and poured a glass of ice water, and said, "I'll go with you."
Shao Si declared: "...I went to the hospital."
Gu Yanzhou didn't shy away from it at home. He casually put the quilt on the table, then raised his hand and took off his shirt, lifting it up from the waist, chest, and collarbone little by little. In the end, his hair was messed up by the collar.
He grabbed the clothes casually in his hands, only a pair of pants remained on his body, and replied: "I know."
After two or three days, Shao Si got used to Gu Yanzhou's house pretty much. Gu Yanzhou has no doubt that this person has completely become familiar with this place as his own home just because of his enthusiasm for playing games with the controller while nestling on the sofa every day.
Gu Yanzhou took a shower very quickly, but Shao Si still frequently sat cross-legged on the sofa with a pillow in his arms and looked at his watch: "It's seven fifty."
There was nothing else to do while waiting, so Shao Si went to Baidu to search for what to bring when visiting a patient.
System: [The case has finally progressed. I am very pleased. By the way, I would like to remind you that everyone is giving fruit baskets when I watch TV. ]
Shao Si: [... Do you also watch TV? ]
System: [Occasionally I will have some entertainment, such as the episode you filmed last time, moving forward. ]
[…] Shao Sidao, [That is to move forward bravely. ]
After he finished speaking, he was suddenly not sure: [Wait, go forward bravely or go forward bravely? ]
System: [… This is really a good question. ]
Shao Si waited for a while, really couldn't wait any longer, went upstairs and knocked on the door of Gu Yanzhou's room: "Gu Yanzhou, are you okay..."
Good luck tricks people.
Who would have imagined that the door of Gu Yanzhou's room was not closed tightly at all, and it opened automatically after knocking twice casually.
—In the room is Gu Yanzhou who is about to get dressed.
Shao Si: "..."
Hold.
Going blind.
"Why don't you dare look at me?" Gu Yanzhou was driving in front, Shao Si's face was always facing out of the window, sometimes turning around, his gaze was always looking down, "It's not like you haven't seen me without clothes."
He should be talking about the time when everyone huddled together to change clothes during the variety show recording.
Shao Si curled his lips: "I've seen it before without clothes, and it's the first time not to wear underwear."
Taking advantage of the red light, Gu Yanzhou stepped on the brakes, put his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head and asked him meaningfully: "Are you shy or inferior?"
"..." Don't be ashamed.
Shao Si is a person who has a yellow accent and is shy but never shows it on his face. He blinked and said without changing his expression: "What do I have to feel inferior about? Do you want me to praise you for being thick and long?"
Gu Yanzhou was calmer than him: "That's the truth, you don't need to boast."
Shao Si: "Ask me a question, I always don't understand where some people's blind self-confidence comes from."
The red light at the intersection had already turned into a green light, Gu Yanzhou slowly increased his speed, and said, "Do you want to try it and see if you are blindly confident?"
The topic became more and more obscene, and Shao Si couldn't hold back anymore.
He coughed lightly and pointed to the front: "Stop the car, I'll go down and buy a fruit basket."
By the time they arrived at the Third Branch of the People's Hospital, it was already 8:50 in the morning.
The timing was just right.
Two mysterious men wearing masks appeared at the door of Dai Wei's ward one after the other.
The room number of the ward is 601.
Shao Si held the bouquet and fruit basket in his hand, knocked on the door, but got no response. So he bent down again and looked in through the small half pane of glass at the door, but there was no one in the ward.
"They went out to bask in the sun half an hour ago." A voice came from behind the two of them. The man obviously knew Dai Wei's whereabouts well. "If you have something to do with them, you can wait here for a while."
Shao Si turned around and saw a young girl with delicate features sitting on the rest chair in the corridor, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
She was unremarkable in appearance and had a small body, so they didn't notice her at all when they walked over.
"Oh, okay, thank you." Shao Si vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Shao Si's eyes are not very good, and he is slightly short-sighted. Gu Yanzhou, on the other hand, had sharp eyes and saw the press card hanging on the girl's chest at a glance.
Seeing that Shao Si was about to sit down next to her, Gu Yanzhou stepped forward and pulled Shao Si's arm, pulled him back, and reminded him: "Girl, are you a reporter?"
Shao Si's body froze, he took two steps back obediently, and retreated to Gu Yanzhou's side.
"Ah." Li Yuan looked down at his press card, feeling a little depressed, maybe he had been alone for too long, and now he could talk to two people, so he talked more, "Yes, I'm a reporter. I wanted to interview them, but I was rejected, but I can understand... After all, this is the situation now... I will wait until they want to see me."
Li Yuan said, after pumping himself up, he raised his eyes and said, "What about you, are you Miss Dai's friends?"
"We..." Shao Si pointed to himself and then to Gu Yanzhou, unable to explain, so he followed her words, "It's her friend."
When Shao Si spoke, he still squinted to look at her breastplate. It's really that the name is too small, and his eyes have mild astigmatism, and the light in the corridor is not very good.
He squinted for a while, then Gu Yanzhou leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Li Yuan, from Bowen Society."
Li Yuan.
... The name is familiar.
Shao Si tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Gu Yanzhou, "I know her."
"..." Gu Yanzhou looked at him coldly, "What do you know? You looked at people's badges like a blind man for a long time."
Shao Si threw the fruit basket to Gu Yanzhou, sat next to Li Yuan himself, and inquired about her origin.
Li Yuandao: "I came out to run the news. The news about Ms. Dai Wei outside is completely fabricated. I can't see it."
Shao Si has been in the circle for so long, and this is the first time he saw him so seriously.
He appreciates this kind of character, but he is also very clear about one thing, that is—people don't necessarily like to hear the truth.
In recent years, with the development of the Internet, some media have indeed become more and more excessive.
But in the final analysis, they are also to cater to the public. What people like to watch, what they are willing to watch, and what they find exciting and exciting to watch. In the final analysis, these are the things that have created the current media industry.
Entertainment is just entertainment.
Facing the stubborn look in the little girl's eyes, Shao Si still didn't say these words in his heart. He calmly changed the topic to another focus: "Miss Li Yuan, I seem to have seen a report written by you before."
Li Yuan was a little surprised, a bit like an unknown artist who suddenly had a true fan: "Really?"
"Well," Shao Si nodded, "but it seems that the manuscript has been withdrawn."
"..."
"It's about the previous article about An Yin, maybe I read it wrong." Shao Si pretended to mention it unintentionally.
Li Yuan's mood fell again, and her emotional change was really written on her face: "Our agency president withdrew it, and someone over there came to contact us and asked us to revise the draft."
An Yin was absent for no reason, this was what she heard with her own ears.
Before the opening ceremony, she went to the bathroom temporarily, and when she came out, she was a little confused and walked in the wrong direction, just in time to see the director and the assistant director standing at the corner of the corridor, discussing this matter while smoking: "Let me tell you, this You can’t get used to the problem. What’s the casual absenteeism? We still have to cover it up for her in front of comrades in the media. If I knew today, I would definitely not sign her.”
Assistant director: "In the past two years, I've been running fast. Once I got to the front line, I started playing big names? To be honest, I was not very satisfied with the heroine at the beginning. She also said that this role is not very suitable. Still have to challenge... challenge what, I don't think it's worth it."
In the end, the director threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it: "Come on, let's say it's useless, it's not about working for others, as long as the investors are satisfied with them."
They probably thought that there was no one here, so they spoke freely.
Li Yuan said very indignantly: "I didn't want to change at that time, and the president gave me a scolding."
— Isn’t our job to tell everyone the truth
— Silly boy, we live on "facts."
If the incident about An Yin broke out and didn't affect them, then it would explode without hesitation, and it might even attract attention. But if someone spends hundreds of thousands, ask to change some of the words.
When it comes to interests, it doesn't matter what "facts" are. Anyway, this little entertainment news is just a passing cloud in the eyes of everyone.
The president finally waved her hand and drove her out: "There are rules in the industry. You are a reporter on the entertainment page. This is the rule. You did a good job this time, and I have already credited the extra bonus to your card."
Li Yuan felt that this generous bonus was like a hot potato in his pocket.
"Bullshit business rules," Gu Yanzhou put the fruit basket on the chair, and sneered, "You can't think it's right just because everyone is doing it now."
It may be that Gu Yanzhou didn't hold back his tone of voice, he seemed very cold and dick.
Li Yuan looked at him a little more shyly.
Shao Sigang also wanted to say the word 'shit': "...you stole my lines."
Gu Yanzhou: "Okay, okay, yours."
Li Yuan looked at this and then at that, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate.
"They seem to be back." Gu Yanzhou stood against the wall. He was tall and could see the door clearly. "Is that the one in the wheelchair? The one in white."
Dai Wei is in good shape today, and she offered to go outside for a walk. Fang Jing pushed her and walked outside for half a circle, and only brought her back when the sun gradually shone.
She was tall and thin, with hollow trousers. A smoky gray shawl was draped over his shoulders, and he spoke very slowly, looking gentle.
Fang Jing was talking to her with her head down. When she looked up, she saw two men wearing masks. One of them was very recognizable because of the phone call yesterday. She almost blurted out: "Shao..."
"Hush." Shao Si put his index finger on his lips and blinked at her.
Only then did Fang Jing swallow the word 'si'.
Dai Wei glanced at the two of them, but without speaking, she turned to look at Li Yuan again: "Why are you still here?"
Li Yuan stood up awkwardly: "I..."
"You go back." Dai Wei has a kind of strength in her body, but she looks weak but actually has a kind of tenacity inside, "I don't want to accept any interviews."
There is no extra space in the single ward, and the hospital probably considered Dai Wei's condition and suggested that the single ward be quieter, which would be helpful for treatment. Shao Si went in and took a look. Except for a few daily necessities, there were almost nothing else, except for a copy of "The Shawshank Redemption" placed beside the bed.
Gu Yanzhou put the fruit basket and bouquet on Dai Wei's bedside, and the two raised their hands to take off their masks, not only Dai Wei, but even Fang Jing was speechless in surprise.
She only knew that Shao Si was coming today, but she didn't expect that even the famous Gu Yanzhou would be there.
Fang Jing lowered her head and told Dai Wei about the cause and effect: "... I was also afraid that you would be too stubborn, so I told you that if you refused to see anyone." They are really struggling to afford the medical expenses now, and Dai Wei has repeatedly It is suggested that this disease should not be seen.
Shao Si came this time and brought a bank card - of course the money in it was not his. His mother is far away from abroad, and she often sends money into his card. He checks several cards in a row, and picks out the one with a small amount of money.
"More than two million yuan, not much money," Shao Si handed the card to Fang Jing, "It should be enough for medical treatment."
Dai Wei shook his head at the other party.
What she is most afraid of now is to drag others down. I am already like this, and if I spend so much money to cure it, it's okay, but if it can't be cured, who will these debts fall on? He is also not qualified to spend other people's money, so that people can get relief for nothing.
Gu Yanzhou saw it in his eyes, saw it through but didn't say it, and said: "You can also choose not to have this money, but you will let the person who loves you live in regret for the rest of your life." Regret obviously had hope, but he didn't grasp it.
These words hit Dai Wei's heart.
Shao Si naturally came prepared, and seeing that Dai Wei was starting to hesitate, he found a chair and sat down, and said: "I didn't give you the money, I just took it as a loan from you, there is no need to have any psychological burden, and , you will definitely be able to pay back the money."
Dai Wei asked in surprise, "I can still afford it?"
Shao Si didn't say it clearly, and put it off: "Don't worry, you can still afford it."
That plagiarized work is like a bubble, he has cast a net, and public opinion is bound to crush it.
At that time, everyone will turn their attention to the original work "Out of the East Gate", and realize that all the emotions they have gained come from it.
Everything will return to its original owner.
—Hope is good, perhaps the best of all, and good things never die.
