Jin Shimu waited outside the door for a while. When he didn't hear any movement from inside, he knocked on the door gently.
"Thump, thump."
For the first time, there was no response.
Jin Shimu knocked twice again.
"Mother Ou! I'm not hungry now!" A slightly hoarse female voice sounded, sounding a little angry and impatient.
"Nu 'na, it's me, Jin Shimu."
Just a few seconds after Jin Shimu revealed his identity, there was a series of crackling sounds in the room. The sound of packaging and plastic boxes was the most obvious.
Finally, a series of hurried footsteps came to an end.
The door opened, and the hot air in the room blew into Jin Shimu's face. What entered his eyes was Zhien's petite baby face. Surprisingly, other than her skin condition, her complexion was not as bad as he had imagined. There were some food scraps at the corner of her mouth, and she looked very reluctant, like a greedy cat who had been caught stealing food.
"How did you get here? Didn't I tell you not to come?" Feeling Jin Shimu's gaze, Zhien subconsciously turned his head and tightened his hoodie.
She didn't put on makeup, so she could only put on a hoodie in a hurry. Only Jin Shimu was considered close to her. If they were ordinary friends, she would never appear in front of him like this.
"I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to come and see Nu 'na in a few days, so I took the initiative to come over.”Jin Shimu said lightly.
"Mo?" "What do you mean?" Zhien was stunned.”
"I've accepted a TV series. It might start filming next week at the earliest.”Jin Shimu roughly explained the reason and glanced at the room behind Zhien. He lowered his head and asked,""Aren't you going to let me in?"
"Ah, can you enter a girl's bedroom just because you want to?”Zhien glared at him in dissatisfaction, but even though he said so, he had already made way for him.
Jin Shimu followed her into the house and closed the door.
The lights in the room were off, and the curtains were down. It was dark, and the air conditioner was very hot. Jin Shimu, who had just entered the room, felt dizzy.
"I have some food here. If you want to eat, take it yourself.”Zhien seemed to be used to this kind of environment. In a few steps, he walked to the small sofa in the back and sat down.
"Where are the lights?"
"To the left of the door."
Jin Shimu fumbled for the switch and turned on the light.
The high-powered incandescent lamps instantly lit up the room as if it was daytime. Under the stimulation of the strong light, Zhien could not help but narrow his eyes, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
In the next second, the room fell into darkness again.
"Hmm? The lights are broken?" Zhien's wrinkled little face slowly relaxed. He looked at the lamp above his head and muttered to himself in a daze.
"I turned it off. I felt uncomfortable looking at it, so I turned it off.”Jin Shimu's voice was emotionless, but it sounded especially gentle and considerate in Zhien's ears.
However, the more Jin Shimu thought about her, the more burden Zhien felt. On the other hand, she hoped that someone could see the weakness in her heart, listen to her, and comfort her.
Right now, she was in such a contradictory state of mind.
"Shi Mu, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."
Jin Shimu could sense that Zhien had suddenly become depressed. He did not say anything and went forward to sit beside her silently.
Zhien didn't say anything. She put her legs back on the sofa, hugged her knees with both hands, and rested her chin on them. Just her outline alone made her look particularly lonely and lonely.
The atmosphere in the room became dull and depressing, but at the same time, there was a hint of healing. It made Zhien's heart gradually relax. This was something that Zhien's closest relative, Liu Renna, could not do when she came to see her a few days ago.
In fact, she had been putting too much pressure on herself recently. All the good intentions of the outside world would be treated as a burden to her. On the contrary, Jin Shimu's comforting method was gentler and easier to enter her heart.
After an unknown period of time, a few crisp machine sounds suddenly came from the darkness, especially clear in the quiet room.
The voice was very familiar. Zhien often heard this sound. It was the sound of the air conditioner remote control.
However, in such an atmosphere, why did it feel strange to suddenly hear such a voice? It even felt a little funny?
As Zhien thought of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
"Are you just going to sit with me like this?" Zhien suddenly asked.
"Want to chat?" Jin Shimu asked.
The corner of Zhien's mouth twitched violently. Although he had experienced the coldness of this young man countless times during his lessons with him, he still couldn't help but have the urge to punch him every time he heard it with his own ears.
The most infuriating thing was that this guy was usually expressionless, but he was actually more skilled at acting than him. Was there any justice in this!
Zhien was unhappy and did not give Jin Shimu a good look. He deliberately gritted his teeth and replied,"A-Ni!" After saying that, he turned his back to Jin Shimu. He did not have the self-awareness of a senior at all.
However, this meant that Zhien had temporarily forgotten the negative emotions in his heart, which was exactly what Jin Shimu wanted!
Looking at Zhien's skinny back, Jin Shimu smiled and asked,""What do you want to talk about?"
"Why are you asking me? I'm not talking!" Zhien said without turning his head. Obviously, he was still angry!
"Then how can I talk alone?" Jin Shimu asked, half speechless and half amused.
"It's none of my business.”Zhien still did not turn around.
"Alright, then I'll tell Nu a story.”Jin Shimu moistened his throat after saying that. Then, without caring whether Zhien agreed or not, he really started telling the story."Once upon a time, there was a boy who was very smart and learned everything very quickly. He was a model student in the eyes of his parents and teachers. However, the boy felt that everything was too easy and did not have any challenge. As time passed, he gradually lost interest in everything around him. Until one day, he stepped onto the stage of the school's welcoming party and for the first time in his life, he sang a song in front of so many people."
The more Zhien listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. Finally, he could not help but turn around and ask,"Wait, you're not going to say that the boy sang 'Ode to Pingyu', are you?”
"I didn't say that." Jin Shimu gave her an innocent look and continued,""Later, the boy was recruited by an entertainment company and became a trainee. However, because of his unsociable personality, no one in the company was willing to be friends with him. Only a very successful senior who had already debuted was willing to approach him.”
When Zhien heard this, he touched the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Because they often went to class together, the boy quickly became friends with the girl. It was only after they got to know each other that the boy realized how outstanding the girl's talent in singing was! When he was alone with the girl under the guidance of the vocal teacher, he felt inferior for the first time. In the days to come, he began to treat girls as his goal and role model to catch up to. He humbly asked for advice and practiced seriously until "
Zhien was engrossed in listening. Seeing that he suddenly stopped and kept her in suspense, he immediately couldn't help but urge her to continue,"Until what?"
"Until the girl was defeated by the disease and never recovered.”Jin Shimu said quickly.
"Mo-?" Zhien was stunned on the spot. She had never expected such a twist, especially when she had already put herself in the girl's shoes in the story. She could not accept it even more and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction,"Ah Ni! When did I get defeated by the disease? I'm clearly fine!"
"Aixi! He really didn't make up a good story! You're cursing me to die, right?!"
"Ya! Jin Shimu! Let me tell you clearly, my body is very good! He was not sick at all! Not at all!"
"Come! Arm wrestle with me now! I'll break your hand. Do you believe me?"
Zhien used his hands and feet, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.
In front of her, Jin Shimu only smiled faintly. There was a rare gentleness and indulgence in his smile.
