1985 cup of ginger tea
The morning light always has a special kind of beauty. The sparse golden light falls on the mist on the riverside. The hazy and fuzzy halo moves around in the mist. The little bits of sunshine seem to be playing hide and seek. Generally speaking, people can't help but go back to childhood, and start searching playfully and lively. In the running with a smile, the oval-like golden red sun breaks free from the shackles of the horizon and jumps out, and then, the night The richness and richness just rolled away, welcoming a whole new world..
At this moment, you will always feel that the world welcomes you and loves you. No matter what life looks like, you can also have the courage to face it..
Renly sat quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, bathed in the soft golden sunlight, closing his eyes slightly. His pale face had an almost transparent vision, which softened the outline of his facial features, and the unique temperament between his eyebrows. The rhythm of the whole world slowed down, and he couldn't help but walk softly, lest he wake him up..
Nathan's footsteps stopped at the door, not wanting to go in.
Last night... was a disaster.
The false fire alarm not only disturbed Renly's rest, but also caused Renly to leave the room barefoot and wearing hotel slippers. Although Nathan promptly pulled a blanket and a coat for Renly, in a hurry, Renly also They could only leave wearing a bathrobe - shivering in the early morning low temperature of the Magic City. Even though they got into the van in time and even turned on the heater, Renly's condition worsened..
It was already thirty minutes before the false alarm was cleared and safety was confirmed. The rest time was already not enough, but now it is even worse..
When Renly returned to the suite, his body temperature began to rise, once approaching forty degrees, and he almost lost consciousness in a daze; Nathan and Roy hurriedly covered Renly with several layers of quilts, forcing him to He covered his sweat, and then used ice cubes to physically cool down. After working for nearly an hour, his body temperature dropped. However, Renly still couldn't rest for too long, because the busy work time of the whole day had arrived again..
In fact, the publicity team was also trying their best to find a solution. Renly slept an hour longer than scheduled. Although this was just a drop in the bucket, it was also a small amount of effort from the publicity team; but... work is work after all, and as a last resort, Nathan woke up Renly - whether he continues to work or not, the final decision rests with Renly. Neither he nor Roy can make decisions for Renly..
Although he was physically unwell, although he was mentally sleepy, and although he was lazy, after taking a bath, Renly quickly returned to his professional posture. With the help of professional staff, he was ready to start a full day of work. Makeup, hair and styling had already been completed. All completed, now waiting for the first batch of reporters to appear.
Before the reporters arrived, there was still a little time. Renly was sitting quietly on the chair, bathing in the sunshine, closing his eyes and concentrating. Time seemed to have stopped at his fingertips, which was unbearable. Break the calm in front of you.
Nathan was really, really worried about Renly. This was the second time Renly had gotten sick since he had been Renly's assistant - the last time was due to the filming of "The Boomstick" and this time it was purely due to a full schedule. An illness caused by fatigue; people often focus on Renly's gentleman image, so they forget Renly's athletic side. In fact, Renly rarely gets sick, which makes this situation even more worrying..
“If you are not ready to come in, then simply turn around and leave; otherwise, just sit down together." Renly's voice broke Nathan's confusion..
The low and hoarse voice did not put too much power into it, but had a touch of tenderness. It seemed that one could catch the slight upward curve of the corners of the mouth, and it moved melodiously like a cello. It was as light as the steps of a ballet diva..
Nathan did not stop any longer and walked into the room with a tray, sitting down next to Renly, but still did not dare to speak. This made the corners of Renly's mouth twitch slightly, and he quickly calmed down weakly. "Are you really going to bask in the sun with me? Then bring a chair over here.”
“No, it's not." Nathan said in a panic, "This... uh... this is... the reporters have arrived at the hotel, and they are now in the room downstairs for final communication and review. Fifteen minutes later I'll come up, take a group photo first, then take individual photos of each person individually, and then interview Annie and Chris first, and finally you..”
Renly's attention was a little unfocused, and his nose picked up some smell, "Is that ginger tea? Or is it because I have an illusion due to my stuffy nose?"？”
Even now, Renly still didn't open his eyes. The heavy and tired feeling still lingered, and his eyelids were a little hot and stinging. As long as he opened them, he seemed to want to cry, so he simply closed them. Bathing lazily in the sunshine, you can feel the faint temperature jumping on your eyelids, just like an elf flying with its wings, and then you feel the comfort of soaking in a hot spring..
“Uh...yes, this is ginger tea! "Nathan was still hesitating how to explain this cup of ginger tea. Unexpectedly, Renly smelled it directly..
Renly raised his right hand, and Nathan quickly handed over the teacup carefully. He watched Renly wrap up the teacup with both hands, lowered his head and took a big sip, and his frown slowly relaxed, as if he could Feeling the warmth that unblocked all his limbs, the word "hot" on Nathan's lips stopped on the tip of his tongue and did not come out..
“Has Matthew already gotten off work? "Renly asked a question without thinking. Nathan froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer. Renly didn't mind, and continued, "It should be early six in the afternoon in New York. You just Call Matthew, isn't he at work?？”
“……Oh, oh, Matthew, yes, he is at work, but... uh, after knowing the situation, he immediately sent the secret recipe and guided me to complete the production remotely. What, does it taste wrong? "Nathan asked nervously, but saw Renly taking another sip with a smile. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the ginger tea. He scratched his head, "How did you know that I called Matthew?？”
After returning to the room, Renly began to have a high fever. Both Nathan and Roy were extremely anxious. At this time, they were in the magic city and in a foreign country. Neither of them knew what to do - what if they made a special trip to the emergency room. , seems to be making a fuss out of a molehill again; but doing nothing will not reduce the fever, and this is not the solution.
Finally, Nathan came up with an emergency solution: Matthew Dunlop.
But how did Renly know?？
Renly was still sitting quietly, holding the water glass and saying nothing. Just when Nathan thought his question would not be answered, Renly spoke again, with a hint of comfort in the corner of his mouth, "That year, we When we were still at Eton, I can't remember clearly. Was Matthew thirteen? Or fourteen? One afternoon, we went out riding and it was pouring, but we didn't go back to school immediately. He escaped from the racecourse on horseback, followed the road of the town, and fled all the way to the suburbs, just like Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice".”
Although he didn't say much, his soft words revealed a little joy. It can be imagined that it should be a beautiful and pleasant memory..
“But in real life, the plot of the novel is not romantic at all. Several of us were shivering with cold, like dead leaves that refused to fall in the autumn wind. We returned to school in great embarrassment, and all three of them fell ill. Fallen, haha." A slight smile escaped from the corner of Renly's mouth, "What's even worse is that Andre stayed in Matthew and I's dormitory, refusing to leave, and he also occupied my bed, but... He is a sick patient, and I can't throw him out - the main reason is that I can't carry it alone, otherwise I might execute it immediately.”
Involuntarily, the corners of Nathan's mouth also rose..
“Then, Eton followed suit and stayed in the dormitory and refused to leave. In order to prevent them from passing the cold to me, I became their nanny. God, that's when I finally understood how hard the nurse's work is." Although he was complaining, Renly's unhurried voice always had a hint of joy..
“First wash and peel the ginger, then grind it into minced ginger, add brown sugar and red dates, pour in water, put it in a steamer, steam it for 30 minutes, and you will have a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, while your body is soft If you drink it when you are weak, it seems that even your limbs will become hot..”
Renly's words stopped here. This was Ding Yanan's secret recipe for colds. He still remembered that when he had a cold when he was a child, his mother would always make a cup of ginger tea and then hum a lullaby to accompany him; and, that It was the only time when he didn't have to live according to a schedule. He could stay alone with his mother, just like that, doing nothing. Therefore, he always thought that being sick was a good thing..
Nathan finally understood: It turns out that the secret recipe of ginger tea really comes from here. No wonder Renly knew that he called Matthew, "Wait a minute, but don't Andre and Eaton know it too?"？”
This time, Renly didn't answer. He picked up the water cup again and drank all the ginger tea in one breath. However, he still couldn't bear to put the water cup down. He just held it in his hand for a long time, loving the remaining warmth. , and then the curvature of the corners of his mouth raised happily..
Nathan didn't know why, but he didn't ask any more questions. He quietly prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, he saw Gu Cailing walking towards the door. She also stepped lightly and asked with her mouth, "Ren Li's Situation, are you okay?？”
Nathan was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded slightly and gave a positive answer. Then he noticed the worry on Gu Cailing's face, "What's wrong? The interview happened. What's going on?？”
Gu Cailing didn't know how to explain it, so she could only knock on the door, "Hey, Renli, can I come in?？”
