Nepotism

"My mother didn't come back after she went to the hospital. She left in the hospital. When I was a child, I always felt that the thunderstorm took my mother away. It has been so many years. Now that I think about it, it seems that she was wronged and took her away. My mother's was not thunderstorms, it was sickness and..."

Ning Xuan's voice stopped abruptly.

Qi Lan knew that Ning Xuan must have other words hidden in her heart.

But enough is enough, Qi Lan couldn't bear to let Ning Xuan continue to immerse herself in those painful memories of the past.

Ning Xuan lost focus

Qi Lan just sat closer to Ning Xuan, held Ning Xuan's face lightly, and asked seriously: "Do you need a hug?"

Ning Xuan, who was still a little dazed just now, finally focused her gaze on Qi Lan again.

Without waiting for the other party's consent or rejection, Qi Lan had already hugged him in his arms.

Ning Xuan was a little one, nestled in Qi Lan's arms. Qi Lan imitated what Ning Xuan said about her mother just now, patted Ning Xuan's back lightly, and murmured: "Xuan Xuan, I it's here."

At that moment, Qi Lan's shadow seemed to coincide with that of her mother in his memory.

But it was only for that moment, and soon the images of the two were separated in Ning Xuan's mind.

Ning Xuan knew that Qi Lan did this intentionally, and she probably thought it would comfort her, but Ning Xuan was no longer the little girl who grabbed her mother's clothes and asked for candies.

She has grown up and can live independently, she no longer needs to rely on anyone, she can even take care of grandpa...

But she didn't know why she still felt that Qi Lan called her Xuanxuan just like her mother, which was very sweet.

Qi Lan hugged Ning Xuan quietly like this, except for the sound of wind and rain outside the window, no other sounds could be heard in the room.

What kind of concept is a mother, Qi Lan actually has no idea.

She hadn't had it, so she couldn't talk about the pain of loss.

She had envied Ning Xuan before, she felt that a girl like Ning Xuan must have come from a kind and happy family, she had a refined father and a gentle mother, that's why she grew up like this.She has a good temper, she is polite and well-mannered, she is soft-tempered, even if she is angry, she just opens her eyes wider and looks at the other person, but she will soon convince herself to smile again.

At first, Qi Lan thought that all children born in unfortunate families should be like themselves, with a hard bone, sharp edges and corners in people and things, and once injured, they will become guarded and aggressive... In short, everything They are completely opposite to Ning Xuan's performance.

This kind of Ning Xuan, such a good Ning Xuan, she should get the best things in the world, she should always smile and be a carefree princess, Qi Lan felt the warmth on her shoulders, and also felt the tenderness on her cheeks. The cold liquid slid down.

She raised her hand to touch it, is she crying? She really hasn't cried for many years.

Qi Lan couldn't tell whether the tears were for Ning Xuan or herself.

Because at that moment, she seemed to see her own shadow in the other person, they were so different, yet so similar.

They talked a lot in bed together that day, but it's really hard to say when they fell asleep.

When Qi Lan opened her eyes the next morning, Ning Xuan was nestled next to her, her hands tightly holding her arms, curled up in the quilt, thin and small, as if one hand could hug her around.

This is probably the second time that Qi Lan was able to look at Ning Xuan so closely and carefully.

Last night Ning Xuan said that she had no friends when she was a child, so she was very happy to know Qi Lan.

Qi Lan didn't know what Ning Xuan's childhood friends thought, the little Ning Xuan in that old photo was obviously very cute.

I wish I could meet her sooner.

In this way, you can take her to play games together and do many interesting things that Ning Xuan definitely didn't do when she was a child.

While thinking about it, Qi Lan pushed Ning Xuan's broken hair from her forehead to the sides, revealing her delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Qi Lan was a little reluctant to touch the word friend. She felt that after this night, all the mental construction she had done had collapsed.

She felt that she had to treat Ning Xuan better, the kind who didn't ask for anything in return, and she just wanted to make up for all the things Ning Xuan lacked since she was a child.

"You think we are good friends, then we will be good friends, very good."

Ning Xuan was clearly asleep, so Qi Lan leaned over and kissed Ning Xuan lightly on the forehead.

Ning Xuan's even breathing made Qi Lan feel at ease.

Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Qi Lan, Qi Lan, get up, open the door for me quickly."

Yu Tang is a lunatic!Qi Lan cursed secretly in her heart.

Yu Tang suffered a thousand knives.

Because of her slamming on the door, Ning Xuan, who had been in a deep sleep, was also alarmed, and Qi Lan, who had just had a secret kiss, felt somewhat guilty.

However, with Ning Xuan's bewildered appearance, I'm afraid she didn't notice Qi Lan's little tricks at all.

Qi Lan immediately got out of bed, ran to the door and opened it for Yu Tang.

Yu Tang didn't back down at all when he saw Qi Lan approaching aggressively.

"You are a ghost." Qi Lan said angrily.

"Why, get angry when you wake up." Yu Tang didn't take it seriously at all, bypassing Qi Lan directly, and entered her room.

When Tang saw Ning Xuan who was sitting on the bed, her eyes were a little blurred and not yet in focus, she suddenly had the illusion that she had gone to the wrong room.

"You, you two..." Yu Tang hesitated for a long time before organizing his words, "Why did you sleep together again?"

This man can't listen!

It was a very innocent night of talking about life and ideals under the quilt, but when it came to Yu Tang, it sounded a bit wretched.

Just as Qi Lan was about to insult her, Ning Xuan spoke first.

This silly girl looked like she had just woken up from her sleep, she didn't know what was going on, she just grinned and waved to Tang Zhao, "Good morning."

Yu Tang instantly forgot what he was here for, and finally he didn't say anything unpleasant with his mouth that made people love and hate. He just said honestly to Ning Xuan, "Good morning."

Ning Xuan was wearing Qi Lan's clothes, the size was a bit too big for her, and the neckline of the clothes was very deep.

She just woke up again, and the moment she raised her hand, the other side was about to slip off her shoulder.

Seeing this, Qi Lan hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Tang.

It doesn't matter if it's because of her selfishness, but she just doesn't want others to see Ning Xuan like this, and neither can Yu Tang.

Yu Tang wanted to say something to Ning Xuan, but before he could say a word, Qi Lan dragged her into the corridor.

"Hey, what are you doing, I haven't finished talking yet." Yu Tang said.

"Didn't you come to see me, you have something to talk about." Qi Lan said.

"Now I'm even more curious about why the two of you slept in the same room again." Yu Tang teased, and lightly bumped Qi Lan's shoulder.

Qi Lan cleared her throat, "When she was in City S, she put something in my suitcase, and she came to pick it up last night. The two of us watched a movie, chatted for a while, and fell asleep for some reason."

What Qi Lan said was half-truth and half-false, it was true that something fell into her place, the puppet is still lying in Qi Lan’s box, but it’s not the case to come here to get it, it’s obviously her He harbored evil intentions and forced him out of the elevator.

However, in Tang's eyes, there was nothing surprising about this. After all, it was not the first time that these two people lived together in the same room. It was only natural for them to sleep there directly after playing late in a friend's room.

Qi Lan finally understood what Liang Bing said back then.

【Have seen a lot, been in touch for a long time, you will be able to tell the difference naturally. 】

So at this moment, in Qi Lan's eyes, Yu Tang is a completely different person from himself. Because of the different perspective, Yu Tang will not think about other places at all.

But that's good too, Qi Lan let out a sigh of relief.

"By the way, why did you come to me early in the morning?" Qi Lan remembered the theme.

"Oh, that's right." Yu Tang took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Qi Lan, "Didn't you see the crew arrangement? This week is over and you're about to wrap up. Why didn't your little assistant follow up with me?" You talk about it?"

Assistant?

Qi Lan rubbed her chin. Yesterday when she and Ning Xuan huddled together to keep warm, she seemed to have a phone call that she pressed down. It seemed that it was from Cheng Song...

Embarrassed, Qi Lan cleared her throat.

Yu Tang grabbed Qi Lan's shoulders, just as the door was opened from the inside.

Ning Xuan is now neatly dressed, washed, and standing in front of the two of them.

"What are you talking about?" Ning Xuan asked with a smile.

Yu Tang tightened his arms, patted Qi Lan on the back and said, "This guy is about to finish, I'm wondering if we should celebrate together."

Ning Xuan was taken aback, "Celebrating? Okay."

Ning Xuan said she wanted to go back to her room to get her things, but soon disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

When she walked to the door of her room, she felt that her lie just now was a bit too clumsy.

Where did she want to get something, she didn't even bring the key card, and now she could only stand in front of her room in a daze.

Qi Lan is about to wrap up, which means she will leave the crew soon.

She is very reluctant, this feeling is really strange, she is not a rookie who just entered the industry, and this is not her first play, at the beginning as a student, she never had feelings in this circle, why does it appear now?

In this way, no.

At the moment Ning Xuan was in a trance, there was only a ding dong, and the elevator opened slowly.

Ning Xuan's room was very close to the elevator, and a familiar figure walked towards her.

"Keycard."

It was Qi Lan, holding Ning Xuan's key card in her hand, shaking it in front of the other party.

Ning Xuan laughed dryly, but Qi Lan obviously didn't expose her intentions.

Ning Xuan reached out to take it.

"I forgot."

She opened the door and asked Qi Lan, "Do you want to go in and sit down?"

Qi Lan thought for a while, smiled and shook her head, "No."

"Xuanxuan, I want to ask you something."
