The meeting lasted for a long time.
The final tentative plan was to let Jin Shimu go for the audition first and prepare for his debut album at the same time. This way, there was a two-way guarantee.
If the audition failed, the company could reduce the number of songs on the album from regular to mini, so that Jin Shimu could return early.
If the audition was successful, the company would slow down the production of the album and prioritize filming.
Jin Shimu had no objections to these arrangements. His only request was that all the songs on the album had to be personally selected by him!
Jin Shimu felt that not all songs written by good producers were suitable for him. He had his own ideas. Moreover, ever since he started practicing in the company, he had written some songs one after another. If there was a chance, he would definitely like to sing his own songs.
After the meeting ended, Pei Zhonghan suddenly called out to Jin Shimu, who was about to leave. He walked over and patted Jin Shimu's shoulder."Shi Mu, I'll have to trouble you for the next few days. Be prepared.”
Pei Zhonghan was not a particularly easy-going person, but he never put on airs in front of Jin Shimu in private, including in front of IG. He completely treated the two of them as close relatives.
"By the way, have you been in contact with Zhien recently?”Pei Zhonghan suddenly asked after they left the meeting room and chatted for a while.
"No." Jin Shimu shook his head and said. Because they used to take acting classes together, he and Zhien were very close. Some time ago, when he knew that he was going to take the college entrance examination, Zhien specially sent a message to cheer for him, but after that, the two of them stopped contacting each other.
Seeing that Pei Zhonghan seemed to be worried, Jin Shimu could not help but ask,""What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Sigh…" Pei Zhonghan sighed heavily and moved his lips, as if he did not know where to start. In the end, he only asked Jin Shimu,""That girl's condition has been a little bad recently. If you have time, help to guide her. She might not listen to us if we talk too much.”
"Very serious? Did you go to the hospital?" Jin Shimu hurriedly asked.
"I've been there. The doctor said it's bulimia.”
"Inner?"
Jin Shimu was stunned. He could not associate Zhien's petite and sweet image with this binge eating illness in his mind. It felt very out of place.
" Right? I didn't think much of it at first, either. But when Han Te told me that she wanted to eat more even though she had vomited, I was shocked!”
Pei Zhonghan's voice was filled with self-blame.
When Jin Shimu heard this, he couldn't help but worry even more about Zhien. He immediately prepared to go and see her.
"Then where is she now? The hospital?"
"He's already been discharged from the hospital and is recuperating at home.”"Are you going over now?" Pei Zhonghan asked in surprise. Do you want me to get the driver to send you?"
"No need, I'll take the subway.”After Jin Shimu finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and turned to walk towards the elevator.
...
On the way, Jin Shimu suddenly felt that it was a little rude to visit a girl's house so rashly, so he called Zhien before getting on the subway.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
"Yo, aren't you stuffed?"
A dull, hoarse female voice was heard. Just by listening to it, one could imagine the dispirited state of the owner of the voice on the other end of the phone.
Jin Shimu could not help but frown slightly. Why did it sound like this sister was still sleeping? She did not even look at the caller ID.
"Nuna, it's me."
In the dark bedroom, Zhien, who was lying on the bed, was stunned. He then moved the phone to his face. After seeing the words "Shi Mu" on it, he put it back to his ear and continued,"Ah, it's Shi Mu. It's been a long time since we last met. I've almost forgotten your voice.”
Her voice was muffled, obviously in a state of sleep.
"Is Nu at home now?"
"Yes…"
"Alone?"
"Yes…"
"Can I go over?"
"Eh?"
Zhien was halfway through his promise when he suddenly came back to his senses and raised his voice to ask,"What did you just say?"
"Can I go over? Go and anger that family." Jin Shimu's tone was still as indifferent as ever.
"So sudden?" Zhien was even more stunned, but then he realized that the other party must have already known about his illness and wanted to visit him. He resisted and his voice became dull again."You know everything, don't you?"
Jin Shimu was silent for a few seconds before he finally responded softly.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me.”Zhien felt dejected, but he did not want to accept Jin Shimu's good intentions.
"Aren't you all sick? Why do you still say that it's fine?!" Jin Shi Mu Mu asked.
"I'm really fine. I'll be fine after resting for a few days. I'll go to the company to look for you in a few days.”Zhien's voice was full of resistance. His hoarse voice was especially heartbreaking.
She was like a patient who had been in the dark for a long time. The sunlight outside could not dispel the darkness in her heart, but it would only stimulate her to become more sensitive.
Jin Shimu felt helpless and did not dare to force her. He could only hang up after reminding her to rest well.
In the dark bedroom.
When Zhien heard the sound of the phone hanging up, his right hand drooped weakly, allowing the phone to fall to the pillow.
He suddenly felt annoyed. He was annoyed by Jin Shimu's sudden concern, and he was even more annoyed that he needed others to care for him.
In order to overcome this negative emotion, Zhien chose to empty his mind. Then, he took a box of biscuits from the bedside table and put them into his mouth one by one. Not long after, her hair, neck, and pillow were all covered with crumbs, but she didn't care. Perhaps she didn't even realize it. She just repeated the action of eating the biscuit, filling her small mouth again and again. She clearly looked a little painful, but she refused to stop.
When she finished the entire box, she looked at the dim ceiling and tears suddenly flowed down. She could not stop them.
