In the silent place

Chapter 82

This time, the body recovered very slowly, but the condition gradually stabilized, which somewhat relieved the family members.Zhan Zhao is a restless person. When his aunt Liu Rong finally let go, he started to contact publishing houses, newspapers, and magazines.I once had a successful experience of holding a book signing event, which was like opening a new door in my career. Several publishers who never responded before now often send emails to promote their new book subscription plans. Intended to carry out long-term cooperation.Looking at these emails, Zhan Zhao felt a warm current slowly rise in his heart.Today's situation is all thanks to the unconditional support and help of family and friends, and he has nothing to repay for such dedication.He tapped the keyboard, answered every email carefully, and finally wrote a letter to his father who was far away overseas.In the letter, as usual, he talked lightly about some trivial things in life, such as the date of his cousin's wedding was finally fixed, his aunt was busy buying appliances for the new house every day, and the bookstore beckoned new employees to come to help and so on.As for the matter between him and Bai Yutang, nothing was mentioned.

Autumn in this city is extraordinarily cold, and the sun shines through the bright glass, which still can't dispel the chill.After turning off the computer, Zhan Zhao rubbed his dizzy eyes, and slowly stood up from the chair.He leaned half down on the octagonal window sill, and lightly pressed his palms on the iron sheet heater next to the window corner. The warmth came from his fingertips and slowly penetrated into his limbs.In the blink of an eye, Bai Yutang had been gone for almost half a month.Suddenly without this person by my side, the days seem to be extraordinarily long.He smiled casually, turned around and walked to the bed to send a text message to Bai Yutang.

"Cat, miss me?" Soon he received a call from Bai Yutang.The voice on the other end of the phone was so loud that Zhan Zhao's ears trembled when he heard it, and he couldn't help but extend the phone a little further. "Where are you?" He asked subconsciously.

"On the mountain, I just finished filming an exterior scene." Amidst the noise, Bai Yutang's voice could not conceal the excitement. "The first day of filming the explosion scene today, my ears are still buzzing."

"What happened? Are you okay?" Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Well, it's okay. Maybe I moved too much, and the ear cotton fell out when I turned over..." There was a sudden noise on the phone, followed by Bai Yutang and a middle-aged man. conversation.Bai Yutang's voice was steady and calm, revealing the firmness and self-confidence unique to mature men. Zhan Zhao listened quietly, and suddenly felt a little dazed.A few days ago, he had just watched Bai Yutang's fixed-makeup photo in the drama. The young man stood by the window with his back to the light, and his straight figure was set off by a green military uniform.His eyes were directly facing the camera, with deep and distant eyes, as if he had insight into the whole world... "Sorry, the assistant director came over to talk to me about something."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao abruptly withdrew his wandering thoughts. "Then you go to work first, remember to be careful next time, otherwise no one will care about you if you become deaf."

"It's fine if you take care of it. I'll still rely on you to support me in my life."

Hearty laughter came suddenly, and Zhan Zhao couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, but the words he said didn't match his expression at all. "I'm dead!"

"Hey! Wait! You have time to take a look at the photos that the fourth brother gave you. Let me know which one you like later."

"Understood, there is no rush anyway, we will make an appointment together when you come back."

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm free."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Zhao lay down on the bed for a while with his eyes closed.Thinking of what he had experienced in the past few months, it was like a dream, completely changing the trajectory of his life.Maybe he and Bai Yutang are really destined, but in this fate, the one who has been trying to get together is always Bai Yutang.He opened his eyes abruptly and got out of bed, took out the trolley case he brought back from the wardrobe in the corner of the room, squatted on the ground and began to rummage through it.

At this time, Bai Yutang was wearing a thick overcoat and sitting on a hill in the outer suburbs.The place is desolate and remote, sparsely populated, except for their team of photographers and a few entertainment journalists who followed them, on the bare stone mountain, there are only gravels that can't be seen.

"Are you all right?" Jiang Dong squatted beside him wrapped in a military overcoat, and asked worriedly while checking Bai Yutang's ears.

"It's okay, but there's still tinnitus." Bai Yutang broke free from Jiang Dong's hand, tilted his head and rubbed his ears.It may be that he was affected by his hearing, and his voice was much louder than usual.

"When you get back to the town, find a hospital."

"No need." Bai Yutang said and stood up, brushing off the dust on the corner of his clothes. "You can go back to the company in two days. There is nothing wrong here. You don't have to follow me all the time."

Jiang Dong also stood up, turned his head to Bai Yutang and said, "In two days, when the shooting of the blasting scene is over, I'll go back and wait for Boss Lu's orders."

"Good comrade."

"I always have."

Bai Yutang smiled, and said, "This time I'll let you take your wedding leave, go back and get ready. You don't need to report to my elder brother."

Jiang Dong was taken aback for a moment, grinned and began to mutter. "Xiao Zhao really has no reservations about you..."

Ever since he found out about his relationship with Zhan Zhao, Jiang Dong had never felt sorry for him, but he was always a little angry.Bai Yutang knew that Jiang Dong was extremely reluctant to hand Zhan Zhao over to him, but he didn't expect Jiang Dong to be so awkward. It really surprised people. "Don't blame him. It was your mother who started the conversation with my fourth brother. You are really mean. Do you need to hide this from me?"

"Anyway, it's still early." Jiang Dong rubbed his nose and shrunk his neck, turning up the collar of his military coat. "Don't worry, it's impossible to hide from anyone. My wife and I are still waiting for your big gift..."

The two were talking when a beeping text message came.Jiang Dong took out his mobile phone to look at it, raised his head and said to Bai Yutang, "It's my cousin, he asked me if your ears are really okay."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and muttered, "I just like to think wildly."

Jiang Dong glanced at him. "Who told you to tell him yourself."

"My pleasure!"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Dong wished he could go up and punch him twice.Not far away, a special entertainment company was doing on-site follow-up reports. If the assistant director and Fang Chun hadn't blocked there first, Bai Yutang might not even have time to rest.It's not that he doesn't know Bai Yutang's good intentions, it's just that this person has always been mean-spirited and always makes people angry... Jiang Dong sighed helplessly, turned his head and gave the person next to him a look. "It's windy here, go stay in the car for a while."

Bai Yutang nodded but didn't move his feet. Jiang Dong didn't know what he was thinking, so he stood beside him and didn't make a sound.

"Jiang Dong, if one day I quit filming, will you still follow me?"

Jiang Dong was startled, he never expected Bai Yutang to say such a word after waiting for a long time.As an entertainer, Bai Yutang was at the time when he became very popular. Although the matter between him and his cousin was a turmoil some time ago, Bai Yutang has always gone his own way, and his neither humble nor overbearing attitude in dealing with this matter is even more for him. By virtue of Tim a lot of popularity.In the film and television industry, there are many people who retire bravely, but he never thought that Bai Yutang would have such an idea. "For my cousin?" he asked involuntarily.

"I'm not that great." Bai Yutang smiled and walked down the mountain to the van. "Jiang Dong, remember, no matter what a person does, the final decision is his own choice. Therefore, it is meaningless to think about who it is for."

Standing on the top of the hill, Jiang Dong watched Bai Yutang's back gradually going away, and an inexplicable emotion gradually surged in his heart, whether it was admiration, admiration or moving, he couldn't tell.

After dinner, Zhan Zhao followed Liu Rong into the kitchen.Liu Rong put the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, turned her head to her nephew and said, "Go into the house, why are you crowded here?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, but took a few steps forward instead.Liu Rong glanced at him, shook her head, turned on the faucet and began to wash the dishes.

"Auntie, I want to discuss something with you."

As soon as Liu Rong heard his tone, he frowned subconsciously.This time, Zhan Zhao fell ill and almost gave her a heart attack.After she was discharged from the hospital, she was even more nervous, like staring at a child every day, not letting him go anywhere.But how is it different from what my brother-in-law did before?Liu Rong sighed, and decided to listen to what her nephew wanted to say before making a decision. "Tell me, what's the matter."

Just as Zhan Zhao was about to open his mouth, Liu Rong said anxiously, "If it's about the book club, then I can avoid it."

"No." After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he paused for a while before whispering, "I want to go back and visit my father."

Liu Rong was still washing the dishes with her head down. Although her face was calm, her heart was tightened. "It's such a long way, your body can't bear it. Let's live on, let's go when we feel better." She didn't know what she was thinking, it was obviously not her own, why she was so reluctant to let go.It was precisely because of this that her brother-in-law's words had such a powerful impact, making her think about it day and night for a long time.Now hearing my nephew say that he wants to go back and have a look, I feel a faint sadness in my heart. "Tomorrow, I'll ask your uncle to call your dad at work and have a good talk with him. Your dad's temper is like this. He was hot when he was young, but now he's older, and he hasn't changed at all. Listen to your aunt. , don’t keep thinking about it, huh?”

Hearing Liu Rong's almost pleading tone, Zhan Zhao felt that his throat felt like a ball of cotton was clogged up, and he couldn't breathe.But seeing his uncle and aunt taking care of him like a child every day, and even trying to avoid mentioning his father's name, he is not the only one who is sad?This feeling is like a thread through fish bones, which is connected to everyone's heart. One person hurts, and several people feel uncomfortable together.Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth and slowly raised his head. "Auntie, I'll accompany you on behalf of my father, it's all because of me..."

Liu Rong's eyes became hot, she slowly stopped what she was doing, and raised her head to look at her nephew. "I've thought a lot these days. What your father said is not wrong. He is just you, so he naturally thinks more than me and your uncle..." Seeing Zhan Zhao move her lips, she hurriedly raised her lips. His hand stopped what he was about to say. "It would be a lie to say that you are not angry, but after you figure it out, you will not be so suffocated. Just like your father said, if this matter is placed on your cousin, your uncle and I will probably have to It’s very angry. When my aunt said this, it’s not that she doesn’t care about you, nor does she look down on you, understand?”

"En." Zhan Zhao replied in a muffled voice, his eye circles were a little red.How much Liu Rong loves him, he knows better than anyone else.After his mother passed away, Liu Rong cared for him no less than a biological mother.I didn't expect to be wronged and blamed for his affairs at this age.And the other party was actually his father, which made him even more unbearable.He took a deep breath, his tone was flat but undeniably firm. "Auntie, just promise me that I will take good care of my health. I will call you as soon as I get there. Although my father is still angry, he will never turn me away."

"If he dares not let you in, I dare not recognize him as my brother-in-law!"

Seeing Liu Rong's eyes flicker, Zhan Zhao seemed to have already had such a tempting idea, and hurriedly said, "I'll only go for two weeks, and I'll be back as soon as Christmas is over."

The nephew kindly wants to go back to see his father, and he is like a big villain for stopping him so vainly.Liu Rong stared at her nephew for a long time, and finally sighed. "I'll discuss it with your uncle first tonight."

Seeing that Liu Rong finally let go, Zhan Zhao was happy but also a little bit reluctant. "Aunt, I will miss you."

"Don't be happy yet, I haven't promised you yet." Liu Rong cast a reproachful glance at her nephew, and started to work again. "He will say sweet things to scare me. Still miss me? Don't talk about me, I am already satisfied."

"I mean it, Auntie."

The childish nephew always makes Liu Rong want to love her involuntarily.I think the nephew has already figured out her heart, otherwise why would he be defeated every time he softened his tone.Liu Rong smiled helplessly while wiping the washed dishes.

Back in the bedroom, Zhan Zhao thought for a long time and decided to tell Bai Yutang about it.Bai Yutang's performance was unexpectedly calm, as if he had expected this trip a long time ago.

"Remember to let me know when you book your ticket."

"Hmm." For some reason, Zhan Zhao always felt that something was wrong with Bai Yutang's attitude. "Hey, are you angry?"

"Don't dare."

Zhan Zhao laughed as soon as he heard it, and his heart was as expected. "Then why are you pretending to be deep?"

"You think I like to pretend!" After Bai Yutang yelled, he felt a lot more at ease, especially after hearing Zhan Zhao's laughter, his anger disappeared without a trace. "Originally, I wanted to discuss going with you after the filming of this movie. Who knew you had such a big idea."

Zhan Zhao felt apologetic in his heart, and his tone softened involuntarily. "Then let's meet again next time, and I owe you this time."

"That's what you said." Before Zhan Zhao could finish speaking, Bai Yutang hurriedly took over. "Then you have to listen to me about the arrangements for the Spring Festival."

"Okay, we will go wherever you say."

"That's about the same. Come on, give me a kiss."

There was a clear and crisp kiss from the air, and Zhan Zhao curled his lips into a light smile and said, "When you come back, I'll give you a real one."

Bai Yutang's voice suddenly fell silent, and it took a long time before he said, "Huh? You're actually enlightened?"

"Good night." After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he pressed his finger and beeped to end the call.
