TN:
I didn’t update yesterday, so I posted day 3 and 4 together. If I don’t update on a day, then the next day I’ll update both chapters 👍💐. But these two chapters are actually quite…… 😉
Day 3
When Ying Nian heard he was going to see his mother in a few days, he thought that as Ji Qingzhou’s friend and neighbor, he should also go to visit her to show his concern, Ji Qingzhou didn’t think it was necessary, but he didn’t stop him, after all, Wang Fang was always worried about him working alone in the entertainment industry and being bullied, always asking him if he was tired when filming, whether he had made the right friends, taking Ying Nian would make her happy.
Ying Nian was very familiar with the etiquette of visiting parents, and was ready to buy some gifts for Wang Fang to bring over, but was stopped by Ji Qingzhou, “Don’t buy so much, she can’t eat many things, so it’s useless. You can bring her a sweeping robot, that’ll sweep the floor every day, it’s more practical.”
So Ying Nian asked Ji Qingzhou what color Wang Fang liked, went through the locker of the storage room, found a sweeping robot, and also took a Tmall elf. “I’ll bring this for your mother too, I don’t remember where I got it, but it can chat with her and play music for her.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
They quickly discussed the time, and after a few days, went to Wang Fang’s hospital. Ying Nian followed him in the elevator all the way to the VIP ward and lamented, “It’s quite advanced.”
Ji Qingzhou smiled and pushed the door to take him in.
Wang Fang was really happy to see Ying Nian, she smiled and asked him many questions about Ji Qingzhou, when she heard Ying Nian say “he’s now popular, many people like him”, she was stunned. A mother always worried about her child, although Ji Qingzhou was already an adult, Wang Fang still felt worried about him, worried about how well he lived in places she couldn’t see, worried about whether he was tired or not. Especially now that she was seriously ill, she couldn’t help Ji Qingzhou, or share his burden, so her worry was even heavier.
Sometimes late at night, Wang Fang even felt that she might as well die, and stop being a burden to Ji Qingzhou, but then she remembered that she was his only relative, if she left, who in the world would care if he was cold or tired, so she tiredly continued to battle with the disease.
It was painful to live, but Wang Fang still wanted to live, she wanted to see her son start a family, find someone who treated him well, build his own little home, and have his own happiness.
Ying Nian put the Tmall Elf plug into the socket, and showed Wang Fang how to use it, Wang Fang happily listened to his conversation with the Tmall Elf.
Seeing this, Ying Nian made it tell a joke, the Tmall Elf told a very cold joke, but Wang Fang found it funny and laughed for a while, seeing her laugh, Ying Nian and Ji Qingzhou also laughed.

When Chu Cheng raised his hand to knock on the door, he heard the laughter. He froze for a moment, then silently put down his hand, he didn’t expect Ji Qingzhou to be here.
Chu Cheng was a little indecisive, not knowing whether to go in or not. If he went back a few days, back to the day Qin Xue asked him if he liked Ji Qingzhou, he wouldn’t hesitate to go in, he would talk to Ji Qingzhou after chatting with Wang Fang, and talk about things between them. But now, Chu Cheng hesitated, he hadn’t thought through his feelings for Ji Qingzhou, he wasn’t sure if he would hold onto Ji Qingzhou for the rest of his life, so he hesitated.
Xiao Qin came back and saw Chu Cheng standing at the door, “Boss Chu, aren’t you going in?”
As she spoke, she pushed the door open, “Come in.”
Ji Qingzhou turned around and saw Chu Cheng standing there.
He was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he was seeing Chu Cheng after he moved out of his house, he looked at Chu Cheng, obviously not many days had passed, but for some reason, it felt like he hadn’t seen him for a long time.
“What brings you here?” He asked Chu Cheng with a smile.
Chu Cheng looked at the smile on his face, he didn’t know how he really felt, but at this moment, a lot of feelings rushed to his heart, he looked at the person not far from him, and only had one thought – Ji Qingzhou had taken good care of himself, he wasn’t thin or haggard, he looked in good condition, at that time in his home, he looked the same. He could really grow independently.
“I came to see auntie.” Chu Cheng replied.
Wang Fang saw it was him and said joyfully, “Xiao Chu is here.”
“Mm.” Chu Cheng walked over and asked Wang Fang, “Auntie, have you been feeling better lately? The doctor told me two days ago that your condition seemed to have improved a lot.”
“It’s better, I was talking to Xiao Zhou the other day, maybe I’ll be able to get out of the hospital after the New Year this year.”
“Then of course it’s best.” Chu Cheng said, “It’ll be fine, modern medicine is so advanced, there is nothing that can’t be cured, maybe not even the New Year, this year after the winter, you could be discharged from the hospital.”
Wang Fang laughed softly, “Why are you so good at talking, you child, you only know how to say good things.”
“I’m just being honest.”
Wang Fang looked at him, her eyes were full of joy, Chu Cheng to her, was considered a very special existence. When Ji Qingzhou went out to film and couldn’t accompany her, Chu Cheng would always take time to see her, sometimes for half a day, sometimes only for a while, but he always came, usually once a week.
Wang Fang felt very embarrassed, so she advised him not to bother, but Chu Cheng was very insistent, he said, “Qingzhou is not in, I’ll come to see you on his behalf, so that he’ll be much more at ease.”
Once he brought up Ji Qingzhou, Wang Fang could only compromise. They sometimes talked about the current Ji Qingzhou, then Wang Fang told him about Ji Qingzhou when he was a child. Chu Cheng listened but most times he felt it was very strange, it never seemed like what Ji Qingzhou would do, Wang Fang replied with a smile, “Of course he’ll be different after growing up.”
He had really changed, Chu Cheng thought, he still preferred the current Ji Qingzhou.
He and Wang Fang had known each other for a year, in Wang Fang’s eyes, he had become her most caring and favorite child in addition to Ji Qingzhou, everything about Chu Cheng was good, she could see that he had a very good family, “You have such good conditions yet you don’t have a girlfriend, no wonder Xiao Zhou also doesn’t.”
When she saw Chu Cheng this time, she couldn’t help but say, “You are so good at talking and your mouth is so sweet, and you don’t even have a girlfriend. It’s too bad.”
When Chu Cheng heard her, he looked at Wang Fang and was speechless for a while, and he remembered when Qin Xue asked him, do you like Ji Qingzhou? Chu Cheng eagerly changed the topic.
Wang Fang also felt that it wasn’t good to chat with him alone, so she continued chatting with Ji Qingzhou and Ying Nian.
Ji Qingzhou had a smile on his face as he talked to Wang Fang. He said that there were many sweeping robots in Ying Nian’s home, which were sent by the brand. It didn’t cost anything so she shouldn’t mind it.
Ying Nian also added, “Aunt, we’re really not lying.”
Chu Cheng looked at them, his mood suddenly became dull. His eyes subconsciously moved down, and he saw the familiar jade pendant around the neck of Ji Qingzhou. The dull mood eased a little at this moment, like clouds in the glimmer of dawn.
Ji Qingzhou and Ying Nian were still chatting with Wang Fang. The two of them had been together for more than three months in the drama crew, plus they had recently become neighbors who always hung out, so they had a tacit understanding as they talked and laughed with Wang Fang.
Chu Cheng listened, his heart became cloudy again, Chu Cheng finally decided that the air here was too stuffy.
Ji Qingzhou had never brought other people to meet Wang Fang before, but now, he brought Ying Nian, he and Ying Nian were joking and laughing, just like they used to. Ji Qingzhou had said before, “You are different.” But now, Chu Cheng felt that he was the same as everyone else, nothing special.
He was in a bad mood and didn’t want to stay, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control his temper and say things he shouldn’t say to Ji Qingzhou, so he politely told Wang Fang that he had things to do and was ready to leave.
Wang Fang saw that he was leaving and quickly said to Ji Qingzhou, “Xiao Zhou, please see Xiao Chu off.”
Ji Qingzhou nodded, “Okay.”
Chu Cheng looked at him and didn’t refuse.
He and Ji Qingzhou walked side by side to the elevator, then Ji Qingzhou said gently, “Thank you for coming to see my mom.”
“No, I just happened to be passing by.”
“In fact ……” Ji Qingzhou slowly spoke, he felt that since they had now been released from the contractual relationship, Chu Cheng didn’t need to be so attached to Wang Fang, he came once a week and Wang Fang had become accustomed, if one day, Chu Cheng was no longer attached to him, no longer with him, and no longer came to see Wang Fang, then Wang Fang would be sad, and perhaps ask him over and over again, “Why hasn’t Xiao Chu come recently? I haven’t seen him in a long time.”
He didn’t want this, but he and Chu Cheng were destined to only go further away from each other, their relationship was between two of them, there was no need to get Wang Fang involved, Chu Cheng might as well start reducing his visits so Wang Fang would gradually get used to it, and so one day if he really no longer appeared in their lives, at that time, Wang Fang would be able to calmly accept it.
“You don’t have to come, you ……”
“Ji Qingzhou,” Chu Cheng interrupted him, he looked at him calmly, “Don’t say what I don’t want to hear, I’m not in a good mood, don’t say what I don’t want to hear, okay?”
Ji Qingzhou sighed silently in his heart and nodded helplessly.
“Ding” the elevator reached the ground floor, Ji Qingzhou turned his head to look at Chu Cheng, “Be careful on the way, goodbye.”
He was ready to leave, but the moment he turned around, he felt himself being pulled, Ji Qingzhou looked back, Chu Cheng had his hand on his arm as he stared at him, “Send me to the underground garage.”
Ji Qingzhou didn’t quite understand what the point of this was, what was the difference between accompanying him here and sending him to the underground garage, it was just an additional period of time in the elevator. However, this wasn’t an excessive request, so he responded, “Okay.”
The two got on the elevator together again, it was empty, no one else was there, Chu Cheng pressed the -1 button and asked him, “Why did you think of bringing Ying Nian here with you?”
“I said I was coming to see my mom, and Ying Nian wanted to come too, so I brought him.”
“After you moved out, were you in close contact with Ying Nian?”
“Hmm.”
“Why?”
Ji Qingzhou thought about it and said truthfully, “Because we’re neighbors.”
He had never wanted to hide his neighborly relationship with Ying Nian, it was just that Chu Cheng hadn’t asked, so he never said anything.
“So.” Chu Cheng understood, “You asked him to help you find a house, right, and then moved out, so you became neighbors with him.”
Ji Qingzhou hummed in response.
Chu Cheng was silent for a while and said in a warm voice, “That’s good, Ying Nian lives in the same neighborhood, at least you know someone.”
“Mm.”
Chu Cheng didn’t speak again, Ji Qingzhou also didn’t speak, the elevator was silent.
When they reached the negative floor and the elevator door opened, Ji Qingzhou said softly, “You’re here.”
Chu Cheng looked outside the elevator and suddenly remembered the New Year day, when he left then, Ji Qingzhou pestered him because he wanted to send him to the car, he felt it was unnecessary, but Ji Qingzhou was very insistent, he hugged him in the underground garage, with a sad expression, reluctant to see him leave.
And now, he only said, “You’re here.”
