On the day of meeting with Zhuang Yu, it was raining heavily outside, Zhou Qiming was sitting in the car smoking, the whole car was filled with the smell of smoke.

While sitting in the car, Zhou Qiming quietly recalled the past between him and Zhuang Yu these years, and thought of this best friend who he had known for more than 20 years and whom he thought he knew, but it was not the one he was familiar with.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiming took another deep breath on the cigarette next to his mouth, and suddenly felt that he was extremely ridiculous.

After the conversation that day, Zhou Qiming agreed to Chu Xiao's request, promising that Yu Xun would have a better life inside, but at the same time, Chu Xiao had to stand up and identify Zhuang Yu.

Chu Xiao agreed readily, as if she didn't care that she would be implicated.Before parting, Chu Xiao also told Zhou Qiming one thing. He seemed to mention it casually, but it seemed to be a different kind of revenge on Zhou Qiming.

"I don't know if you still remember." Chu Xiao said casually, "But I think you should have an impression, do you still remember that one year your mother was seriously ill, and your career was just starting at that time.I don't think you should forget."

When this matter was mentioned, Zhou Qiming frowned. He didn't know how Chu Xiao, an outsider, was so clear about this matter, and he didn't even think that Zhuang Yu would take the initiative to mention it to Chu Xiao.

But in all fairness, Zhou Qiming can never forget this incident. He still remembers clearly that year when he was about to graduate.It was a good relationship, and during that time my career started to improve.

Just when he first received a role as the lead actor, something happened at home, and his mother fell ill, without any warning.

Zhou Qiming was packing his luggage when he received the news that his mother was ill. According to the arrangement, he would enter the filming crew to start filming in a few days. When everything was ready, he received the news.

In astonishment, he instinctively collected the remaining luggage, booked the ticket for the day, and prepared to head back.

Fortunately, the two cities were not far away, so Zhou Qiming didn't waste too much time. After rushing back that day, he went straight to the hospital, and finally saw his sleeping mother outside the ward.

At that moment, his tears fell from the corners of his eyes unconsciously. The aunt next door looked at him a little pitifully, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, saying that fortunately, he was discovered in time and there was no big problem.The operation is done, and it will be fine if you take care of it slowly.

When Yuan Xiaofeng fainted, it happened that the aunt next door came to borrow something. It was a blessing in misfortune. After Yuan Xiaofeng agreed, she returned home again. The neighbor's aunt waited for a long time before she came out, and the door was not closed., she was a little impatient waiting, so she knocked on the door and yelled, seeing no response from inside, she pushed the door open and entered, but she saw a comatose person in the bedroom, so she immediately called and sent him in.Hospital.

Afterwards, Zhou Qiming returned the money to the neighbor's aunt and thanked her repeatedly. The aunt waved her hand and said that it was not a big deal, and asked him to care more about his mother.Hearing this, Zhou Qiming nodded heavily, and almost couldn't help crying again. He had never been so afraid of losing for such a moment.

Yuan Xiaofeng's temper is too stubborn, and he has never contacted his family after falling out these years, let alone taking the initiative to mention it to his family when he is sick.explain.

Zhou Qiming sat by the bed, holding his mother's withered and thin hand, looking at his mother who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and no life, his heavy heart began to sink endlessly for a moment.He quietly accompanied Yuan Xiaofeng for a while, and then found the doctor to talk about his mother's condition.

After talking with the doctor, Zhou Qiming probably had an idea in his mind.Yuan Xiaofeng's condition is currently considered optimistic, but it cannot be left alone.The doctor told him that he could use medicines first, but judging from Yuan Xiaofeng's situation, medicines maintenance can only be maintained at a basic level, and it is best to have someone to take care of him on weekdays.A good way is to perform surgery as soon as possible, and if possible, it is best to arrange surgery immediately.

After the doctor finished talking to him, he took a look at Zhou Qiming and asked, "You are still a student. If the economy is difficult at the moment, you can use medicine for the time being and wait until the money is almost saved before undergoing surgery, but as soon as possible.", your mother's illness cannot be delayed for too long."

The cost of the operation plus follow-up hospitalization and medicines cost at least 150,000 yuan, but the family's savings were not much at the time. After all these years, they have already spent a lot of money on themselves, Yuan XiaofengThis disease almost wiped out the family fortune.

Zhou Qiming didn't care that all the money was spent on treating his mother's illness, but what made him powerless right now was that he couldn't afford it at all. He didn't want Yuan Xiaofeng to continue to use medicine to maintain it, but he seemed to have no choice other than that.

He stayed in the hospital to take care of Yuan Xiaofeng, and even told Lin Song that he wanted to give up the role of the male second.At that time, Lin Song didn't just care about him alone. When he heard this, he almost quarreled with him. After hearing the cause and effect, Lin Song was silent for a long time, and asked Zhou Qiming if he couldn't find someone to take care of him?You are so short of money right now, the best thing is to make this movie.

How could Zhou Qiming not understand this truth, but their mother and son have depended on each other all these years, so how can anyone take care of Yuan Xiaofeng for him.

He was in a dilemma for a while, even if he wanted to borrow money for his mother's operation, he didn't know who to borrow it from.Leaving aside the savings at home, he was still short of 50,000 yuan, which was not a small amount of money for Zhou Qiming at the time.

During that time, the relationship between him and Xie Yao was still very stiff, and the two maintained a so-called nurturing relationship, but when it came to the critical moment, he was unwilling to ask Xie Yao for a penny, not to mention that he had never spent any money for so many years.Pay Xie Yao a penny.

Zhou Qiming looked through the phone list that day. Although he had known many people over the years, none of them made him easily ask for help.

In the end, he stayed at Zhuang Yu's window for a long time, and finally dialed the phone. What Zhou Qiming wanted to say was entangled in his mouth for a long time before he said it, but after Zhuang Yu heard it, he came back without saying a word, which made him feel at easeGo to filming, I will take care of myself here.

It was also at that time that Yuan Xiaofeng changed his mind about Zhuang Yu. Before that, because of Zhuang Yu's mother's occupation, Yuan Xiaofeng had never wanted Zhou Qiming to associate with him, but at the critical moment, Zhuang Yu came to take care of him.

When Zhou Qiming was about to leave that day, Zhuang Yu asked Zhou Qiming how much money was left for the operation. Zhou Qiming was stunned for a while, and then he still said the number.

After that, Zhuang Yu posted the money on his behalf.

Yuan Xiaofeng performed the operation successfully and in time, and Zhuang Yu has been helping to take care of it since then, and Zhou Qiming also joined the crew as scheduled, and started filming with peace of mind.Zhuang Yu would send him messages every day to report Yuan Xiaofeng's status, so Zhou Qiming was also very grateful to Zhuang Yu for this matter.

So later, when Zhuang Yu took pictures of himself and him and posted those Weibo with ambiguous attitudes to the public, Zhou Qiming acquiesced.To Zhou Qiming, receiving some activities is not a disadvantage.

"Of course I do."

Zhou Qiming withdrew his thoughts, looked at the person in front of him, and calmed down a lot. He didn't understand what Chu Xiao wanted to express, maybe he wanted to tell himself how much Zhuang Yu had paid for himself these years, but now, he wanted to send him off with his own hands.go to jail.

"Zhuang Yu has kept this matter from you for a long time. If I don't mention it, he doesn't mention it, and Xie Yao doesn't take the initiative to mention it, you may never know." Speaking of this, the corners of Chu Xiao's mouth couldn't hold back, likeIt seemed to be successful, "Actually, Xie Yao paid for the remaining surgery fee back then."

"What?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qiming's mood was obviously fluctuated. He looked at Zhuang Yu in disbelief, as if he was not sure, "What did you say..."

"Actually, I heard it by accident at the time," Chu Xiao gradually recalled, "Xie Yao happened to participate in the draft at that time, and we were assigned to a dormitory during that time. One night when he was answering the phone, I happened to bump into him.It was Zhuang Yu who called him at that time."

Zhou Qiming's face gradually darkened as he listened, and Chu Xiao obviously didn't care about his reaction, and then continued, "I guess you must be thinking, why didn't Xie Yao take the initiative to tell you, but the situation at that time, you definitely won’t accept Xie Yao’s help, so after he found out about your mother’s illness through your agent, he found Chu Xiao.”

That's right, at that time he was extremely resistant to Xie Yao's help, and Xie Yao proposed more than once to connect him with some directors or introduce him to some opportunities, but he rejected them all at that time, and the rejection was very clear.

It's just that Zhou Qiming didn't expect that there are so many secrets hidden behind it, and even these things have been hidden from him for so many years, he doesn't even know how many things there are, he doesn't know at all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiming's heart sank to the bottom of the lake.
