In the evening, Qin Zhou went to the hospital.
Grandma’s condition had been up and down recently. When Qin Zhou passed by, Grandma had already fallen asleep.
The doctor also brought bad news——
“The condition has deteriorated recently, and it may not last long.” The doctor said very tactfully.
Qin Zhou was silent for a while, and asked, “How much time does she still have?”
“It’s hard to say……. maybe three or four months.”
Qin Zhou nodded, “Thank you, Doctor.”
Qin Zhou returned to the ward, continuing to stay by the bedside.
Not long after, He Yang came over.
Qin Zhou raised his head and asked, “Why are you here?”
He Yang came over, sat next to Qin Zhou, and said in a low voice, “I came to see you.”
“Want to sleep with me?” Qin Zhou glanced at the phone and said: “But I have work tomorrow. So, if you want to do it, let’s go to my place.”
He Yang didn’t speak.
Qin Zhou only assumed that He Yang agreed to it. He got up, and prepared to go back.
But when the two returned to the apartment and lay on the bed together after taking a shower, He Yang did nothing but quietly hugged the young man in his arms.
Qin Zhou waited for a while, but He Yang didn’t make any movement after a long time. So, he asked, “You’re not going to do it?”
Qin Zhou’s tone was too calm, as if he was just asking about work, without any emotion.
He Yang slightly tightened the strength of his hands. He hugged the person in his arms even tighter, and said in a low voice, “Let me hug you.”
“If you don’t do it, then I’m going to sleep.” Qin Zhou turned over, and turned his back to He Yang. He closed his eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.
He Yang leaned over, wrapped his palm around the young man’s waist, and suddenly said: “Twenty days.”
“Huh?” Qin Zhou responded.
“Twenty days.” He Yang repeated it again. His lips also stuck to the young man’s neck, kissing him little by little.
Qin Zhou opened his eyes, calculated the date, and then realized that He Yang meant that they hadn’t seen each other for twenty days.
“I was a bit busy.” Qin Zhou said casually.
“I can go to you.”
Qin Zhou just said: “Please don’t. Please don’t bother me when I’m working.”
When he was shooting before, He Yang planned to visit the crew. However, he didn’t want to be too high-profile. So, He Yang was not allowed to come over. And the director already knew about their relationship, so it’s better to keep a low profile a little.
After all, things like being kept or something, it was really disgraceful.
Qin Zhou: “I’m on the rise now. If I get caught, it will be troublesome. I don’t want to be affected.”
During this period, the Chinese Republican Era drama was getting more and more popular, and its public reputation was also very good. He often saw netizens making memes on Weibo. He and Su Tang also had traffic and were on the rise.
And, actors and stars who are on the rise are also the easiest to be targeted.

After speaking, Qin Zhou closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Qin Zhou woke up early, ready to go to the company.
He was going to shoot a set of cover photos with Su Tang this time, and the shooting location was in the studio of the headquarters.
Qin Zhou got up at six o’clock, while He Yang was still sleeping.
While Qin Zhou was cleaning up, He Yang woke up.
Qin Zhou tidied his clothes in front of the mirror, and said to the man on the bed: “I’m going to the company. Remember to lock the door when you go out.”
After speaking, Qin Zhou went out to leave.
The driver arranged by the agent was already waiting downstairs in the dormitory apartment. Qin Zhou got in the car and came to the company.
It was still a little cold in the morning, and when the car was driving halfway, it was still raining outside.
Obviously the sun was still out a few days ago, but today the temperature suddenly dropped.
Not long after, the car parked outside the company.
Qin Zhou came to the company and went to the dressing room first.
While Qin Zhou was doing styling, Su Tang also arrived.
Su Tang just got off the plane to Nancheng last night. She rushed over early this morning. The schedule was very tight, and her face was still a little haggard.
“I’m so sleepy…….” Su Tang yawned, sitting next to Qin Zhou, looking not energetic yet.
Qin Zhou asked, “Didn’t you sleep well?”
“I only slept for four or five hours this week, so tired…….” Su Tang complained, “It’s hard to come here once, and I wanted to meet with you and Little Brother Jiang Lin………”
Qin Zhou comforted: “It’s okay. There’s no rush, I’ll make an appointment when you’re done.”
Su Tang sat on the chair and continued to put on makeup.
After Qin Zhou finished the styling, he came to the window alone. He looked out the window, and took a picture of the rain scene.
Qin Zhou posted it on Weibo and posted an update –—
【Qin Zhou: Going to work.】
Not long after the Weibo was posted, there were many comments.
【I love ZhouZhou the most: Is ZhouZhou working now? It’s raining in Nancheng. ZhouZhou, remember to bring an umbrella~】
When Qin Zhou glanced at the comments, he just happened to be called by the staff. So, he put down his phone and went to shoot a cover photo.
Because the popularity of the Chinese Republican Era drama was very high, the cover photo shoot this time was a two-person photo shoot of him and Su Tang.
It was already afternoon when the two of them finished shooting the interior scenes.
Su Tang had another interview in the evening, but the car arranged by the agent hadn’t arrived yet, and it was stuck in a traffic jam.
So Qin Zhou said, “I’ll see you off.”
“Okay.” Su Tang nodded.
The two went downstairs together, and Qin Zhou’s nanny car was also waiting outside.
But when the two arrived on the first floor, it started to rain again outside.
Qin Zhou borrowed an umbrella from the little girl at the front desk. He held the umbrella, and got into the car with Su Tang.
After sitting in the car, Qin Zhou leaned back in the chair, habitually scrolling through Weibo.
There were still a lot of confessions in the private message. Qin Zhou picked some familiar old fan IDs to reply,
【I love ZhouZhou the most: ZhouZhou, wear more clothes. Don’t wear too little~ The weather forecast says that there will be rain in Nancheng tomorrow. ZhouZhou, pay attention to your health. 】
【Qin Zhou: Thank you.】
Qin Zhou replied to some private messages.
Not long after, the car stopped.
Su Tang’s interview was in a high-end restaurant. Su Tang got out of the car and left alone, ready to go to the interview.
Qin Zhou was free at night. So, he went back to the apartment first.
After returning to the apartment, Qin Zhou made some food, then lay on the sofa and checked Weibo with his mobile phone.
Just browsing through casually, Qin Zhou suddenly saw the gossip between him and Su Tang.
【Qin Zhou and Su Tang share the same umbrella! They go on a date together after they get off work! Our on-screen couple, the model workers, is real! 】
Qin Zhou clicked on the attached photo and found that he and Su Tang were photographed by the paparazzi when he and Su Tang came out of the company in the afternoon.
Afterwards, the paparazzi also took a photo of the nanny’s car parked outside the high-end restaurant, saying that the two of them were going on a date.
However, because he and Su Tang had been hyping on CP before, and the Chinese Republican Era drama of him and Su Tang was very popular now, Qin Zhou didn’t care too much, and just mentioned it to his agent a bit.
However, on the next day, this piece of gossip news was pushed to the top of Hot Search, and the comments were also occupied by cp fans.
【I knew ZhouZhou and SuSu are real! At the beginning, I only followed the two of them on the spur of the moment! 】
【Isn’t this my second-male-lead white moonlight?! He and SuSu are true love! Our ZhouZhou has chased SuSu for many dramas! And, he finally takes the lead! 】
【Yeah, my two little babies are trending. So, I’ll promote and ask everyone to watch ZhouZhou and SuSu’s new drama. It will be updated on time every Saturday~】
Qin Zhou read Hot Search comments, and prepared to go back to the private message. He saw the familiar ID in the private message list at a glance. So, he clicked on the chat box, and prepared to reply——
【I love ZhouZhou the most: ZhouZhou, don’t be with Su Tang! She is not good! 】
【I love ZhouZhou the most: My ZhouZhou! Can’t be with other people! I’m crying! 】
Qin Zhou stared at the words of the message, and only thought that this fan was his girlfriend fan.
For girlfriend fans, there is no way to accept that idols are with other people, and they will be more emotional.
It was not convenient for Qin Zhou to reply to this private message, so he skipped this fan and replied to others.
It took Qin Zhou a long time to reply to more than half of the private message list.
However, because Qin Zhou replied to the private message, some fans took a screenshot of Qin Zhou’s reply, and then posted it on Super Talk to show off.
【I actually received a reply from ZhouZhou! Today, I’m chosen by ZhouZhou! 】
【I was also chosen by ZhouZhou! So happy! 】
【Wow! You have all been chosen! I’m going to send a private message too! 】
Super Talk was full of excitement.
At this time, there was a post in the Super Talk——
【I love ZhouZhou the most: I also sent a private message to ZhouZhou. Why did you all receive a reply, but I didn’t receive one? 】
【First floor: Maybe there are too many private messages. ZhouZhou can’t reply to all of them~】
【Second floor: I feel you, Sister! I didn’t get chosen either! It’s okay! ZhouZhou is very busy.】
***
In the rental room.
The fat man stared at his private message list, frowning.
“Why didn’t you reply to me……? Why didn’t you reply to me……..?”
The fat man kept thinking.
At this moment, a special message notification ringtone came out of the phone, and it was the sound for Qin Zhou’s posts.
The fat man quickly clicked on Qin Zhou’s homepage.
【Qin Zhou: Good night.】
There was also a photo on the end of the Weibo, which was a night view photo. It seemed to be taken from the window of the house.
Holding the phone in his hand, the man hastily zoomed in on the photo, and kept zooming in………
And, in the lower left corner of the photo, the name of a restaurant appeared.
The name of the restaurant only occupied a small corner, and if you don’t look carefully, no one would notice it at all.
The man quickly went to Baidu to search for the name of the restaurant, but the results of the search were messy.
So the man added the keyword “Nancheng” to the back, and clicked search again.
The results of the search this time were very accurate, and even the detailed address was found out.
The man hurriedly located the restaurant on the map and searched for the names of nearby apartment complexes.
From the perspective of ZhouZhou’s photo, ZhouZhou should live opposite this restaurant……..
On the opposite side………
***
In the apartment.
Qin Zhou was lying on the bed while checking Weibo.
Suddenly, Qin Zhou saw that there were more comments in the Weibo post he posted——
【I love ZhouZhou the most: Good evening, ZhouZhou~】
【I love ZhouZhou the most: I can meet with ZhouZhou soon~ Happy! 】
Qin Zhou was about to scroll through this comment when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Oh my god PLEASE let nothing happen to Qin Zhou, PLEASE!!
…when did it become an horror story? 😥
Hopefully that’s He Yang at the door and the pervert shows up while He Yang’s there. Or I suppose I’d settle for He Yang showing up shortly after the pervert.
Aghhhh…. Awful…. Tense…
BUT something needs to change for their relationship to kick up a gear
Oh my, oh no! D:
Thank You for the new chapter ʚ♡⃛ɞ(ू•ᴗ•ू❁)
Oh REDACTED
Is it the fan or He Yang??
Thanks ❤️
…Remind me of that Japanese’s stalker who got his idol address from reflection in her eyes.
NOOOOO PLS NO NO DONT OPEN
