Sawyer's Constellation of Dreams Chapter 5

On the way back, Sawyer Ji called Harper. It took a long time for Harper to answer the phone. Her voice sounded weak, as if she had just woken up.

"Are you a pig? You're still sleeping at this hour." Sawyer Ji mocked him mercilessly.

Harper was actually one year older than him. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I've been running around with you, Teacher Ji, for a whole year, and you don't even allow me to have a good night's sleep?"

Sawyer Ji said with a grin, "Sure, sure, sure," and then asked her if she knew how to destroy the books.

"Well..." Harper scratched her head, "Send it to a scrapyard? Or use a shredder? Or... burn it?"

Sawyer Ji believes that the first two suggestions are not feasible and cannot achieve the goal of complete destruction.

When he returned to his residence, he rummaged through the drawers and found a pot. There was no lighter at home, so he turned on the gas stove, picked up a book, waved it over the stove, and quickly threw it into the pot.

I hid so quickly that the book didn't have time to be lit.

He had to slow down and keep the book on the stove for a while longer. When he saw the corners start to curl up, he threw it into the pot and let it continue to burn.

Sawyer Ji was flipping through the letters tucked inside the book, burning each letter he read, and having a lot of fun.

"For you, a thousand times over." There was a paragraph of English written on sky blue letter paper in one of the books. Sawyer Ji laughed when he read it once. Back then, I was just a middle school boy, secretly leaving my little secrets in the books that my sweetheart liked. I thought it was very romantic. In essence, I was using these crappy books as QQ space.

Having gotten rid of the vulgar tastes of middle school students, he can't wait to make these dark histories disappear from the world.

The last book was an English classic that Ji Zhizhang had just given him today. Sawyer Ji didn’t even open it and just sent it to the stove. He would never read such a book again in his life.

The burning hardcover book gave off an unpleasant smell, and thick smoke entered his mouth and nose when he inhaled. Sawyer Ji was choked and turned his back to cough. When he came to his senses, the fire had already spread from the book he was holding to his hand.

"Fcuk!" Sawyer Ji yelled, threw the book on the ground, shook his aching hands, and seemed to smell the aroma of barbecue.

This was very embarrassing. Sawyer Ji covered his paw and searched for the medicine box everywhere. Unfortunately, there was no such thing at home. He turned on the faucet and put the scalded hand under the running water to rinse it. He felt that the pain was relieved a lot.

Soon, two blisters appeared on the back of my hand and one finger.

Sawyer Ji: ...

He was just hesitating whether to go to the hospital when the doorbell suddenly rang, ding-dong, ding-dong like a violent storm. When he opened the door, he saw Harper standing at the door, holding her waist and panting.

"Ji...Teacher Ji, are you okay?"

Sawyer Ji asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Harper moved her nose and sniffed: "You...you really burn books?"

It turned out that after Lili hung up the phone, she felt something was wrong. She was always worried that Sawyer Ji would do something earth-shattering. He had no common sense. What if he burned down the house?

But what can I do?

She hurriedly called again, but Sawyer Ji didn't answer. She had also helped with the move a while ago, so she decided to go all out and took a taxi to the door.

Sitting in the car, Harper looked at Sawyer Ji's hand and said blankly: "I was too naive. I didn't expect you to set yourself on fire."

Sawyer Ji looked a little embarrassed and turned to look out the window.

When they arrived at the hospital, Harper helped him register and then pushed him to the clinic.

"Why not just forget it? I think he'll be fine after he goes back and rests for a couple of days." Sawyer Ji began to back down.

"Hey, Mr. Ji, what are you afraid of? The doctor can only prescribe some ointment to apply. You don't want to have a scar on your hand, do you? It's so ugly."

Sawyer Ji succumbed to his love of beauty.

The doctor prescribed some medicine, and Harper took the prescription to pay and get the medicine. The doctor asked Sawyer Ji not to leave yet, slowly put on gloves, and took out a thick needle.

Sawyer Ji: "...What are you doing?"

Doctor: "Puncture, look at this blister, it's so big, if we don't puncture it, will we just wait for it to absorb on its own?"

When Harper came back, Sawyer Ji covered his hands with his hands, his eyes red, and sat there with a wronged look on his face: "Didn't we agree to just apply the medicine?"

The doctor scribbled on the medical record: "Do you want to hang two bottles of anti-inflammatory medicine? To prevent wound infection."

Harper nodded immediately: "Yes, yes."

Sawyer Ji: ... I believed your lies.

After being transferred to the infusion room, Sawyer Ji looked at the nurse with a pale face as she inserted the needle into the back of his hand. His stiff expression seemed as if he was going to die heroically.

"Relax, young man, and don't clench your fists so tightly." said the nurse.

"...Please be gentle." Sawyer Ji had a sad face and unclenched his fists.

The nurse found the right position and quickly inserted the needle. Sawyer Ji trembled all over.

The nurse thought it was funny: "How can such a big boy be afraid of injections?"

Sawyer Ji felt humiliated and pursed his lips in silence.

"Hey, are you the one who plays that guy?"

Harper's eyelids twitched. Could it be that she could be recognized even with a mask on?

"That, that, the one who plays Nezha, the Wind Fire Wheel, the Universe Circle, right!"

Harper: ...

Sawyer Ji: "...Yes." I'm sorry to all the brothers and sisters who played Nezha, please take the blame.

The nurse was very proud: "I knew you were a crybaby the moment I saw you like that!"

After the nurse left, Harper sat in the empty seat next to her, with a teasing look on her face: "Teacher Ji, are you so afraid of pain?"

Sawyer Ji survived the disaster and snorted.

"Last time when you were getting an injection in the hospital, I saw you were pretty calm, weren't you?"

At that time, I had just been reborn and was so scared that it took me two days to digest and accept this bizarre fact. I had no time to care about anything else.

"By the way, let's take a picture and post it on Weibo. Fans all say they miss you so much." Harper took out her cell phone, found a good angle and took a lot of pictures of Sawyer Ji's hands.

"Are you sure they like seeing me post this?" Sawyer Ji asked.

Harper opened the photo editing software and skillfully blurred and filtered the photo: "I don't know, but they definitely don't like watching you play Nezha."

Sawyer Ji: ...

Sawyer Ji's phone had run out of battery long ago, so Harper used her phone to log into Weibo. As soon as the two photos were posted, the number of comments exceeded a thousand in seconds.

"Oh my god, what happened to our Nan Nan!!!???"

"Is Nannan burned? Are you so careless?"

"My Nan's slender, white, and tender fingers! Oh my God!"

"Oh my god, I feel so bad. Darling Nan Nan, please stay away from the kitchen and don't do these rough jobs, okay!"

"Nan Nan has had a bad year. First she fell into the water, and now she's been scalded. I'll go to Qianye Mountain to worship Buddha next week, and I'll pray for you while I'm at it."

"Upstairs, I think the main reason why Nan Nan is not doing well is because of this crappy company, it's unlucky."

"I support Xiaonan to leave the broken company and set up his own studio!"

The comments went off topic and Harper scratched her nose, feeling sorry for the company's training.

She opened the comments and showed them to Sawyer Ji. He flipped through them and asked, "They don't know which hospital this is, do they?"

Harper patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I have censored all the iconic items in the photo. I guarantee that even the director of this hospital won't recognize them!"

Sawyer Ji nodded with satisfaction.

However, it turned out that the words of Jiang Lili, the pig-like girl, were not credible at all.

Sawyer Ji's hands were thin and the medicine dripped unusually slowly. He dozed off in a chair, half asleep and half awake, when he saw a cluster of flames swaying and twisting in front of his eyes, creating a bizarre scene.

A layer of fine beads of sweat slowly seeped out of his forehead. Sawyer Ji opened his eyes in confusion and saw the face he least wanted to see. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and it was really him.

Graham Qin looked exhausted, as if he had just arrived. He looked at the wound on Sawyer Ji's hand and frowned: "How did it happen?"

Sawyer Ji was still in shock, and Harper jumped up and stood in front of Sawyer Ji: "Who are you... Hey, you are not the one who saved Teacher Ji last time..."

"Hello, I'm Graham Qin."

Harper's eyes widened, then she raised her hands in surrender, stammered out an excuse and escaped.

Qin Wei Yu sat where Harper had just sat, accompanying the injured person as a matter of course.

Sawyer Ji's mind was still in a mess: "Why are you here?"

"Come to see you."

"Why didn't you say so first?"

"Your call is unreachable."

"Come uninvited..." Sawyer Ji snorted and muttered in dissatisfaction.

At this time, the saline drip was finished, and the nurse came over to replace it with another one. Graham Qin stood up and slowed down the dripping speed. After that, he sat upright and began to recount everything to Sawyer Ji: "The first time I called you, you said you were busy and hung up after just a few words."

Sawyer Ji: "???"

"The second time I called you, your assistant said you were sick. I went to see you, but you passed away first."

Sawyer Ji: ... Blame me?

"You were busy and I didn't want to disturb you, but you lied to me. I rushed to the place and waited at the door for half an hour before I realized you were gone. I called you but you didn't answer without any explanation."

The little girl who was also receiving an IV drip on the left side raised her head and looked at Sawyer Ji with contempt for the Sc*mbag.

Sawyer Ji was speechless and almost felt that he was a Sc*mbag.

So this person came here today specifically to seek justice? He almost forgot this man's ability to preach. He could even make a dead person alive.

"Then why are you here? Haven't I made my point clear enough?"

Qin Wei Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, looking up at the TV.

"Hey, you..." Sawyer Ji didn't finish his words as his eyes were drawn to the TV in the infusion room.

The female host on TV waved a colorful flag and raised her voice to say: "The next one is our Nan Bao. Have you played this game before?"

When Sawyer Ji heard the word "Nanbao", he knew what was being played. Currently, there is only one person in the world who calls herself that, and that is Xixi, the female host of the reality show.

The show has good ratings and reruns of the first few episodes of the season are currently being aired on TV.

"No, I've never played it." said Sawyer Ji on TV.

"Then we Nanbao must work hard. This game tests your hand-brain coordination ability. I wish you good results and get high scores for your team!"

"Games start!"

Sawyer Ji saw himself playing with building blocks. He had long forgotten the content of this episode, and he had never watched it in his previous life. Now that he saw the screen, he had a slight impression of it. It seemed to be a small game where you had to answer questions while building a tall building with building blocks. The higher the number of floors, the more points you would get.

The male host began to read the topic: "What time do you go to bed at night?"

"Around 11 o'clock."

"What do you do before going to bed?"

As soon as this question came out, the post-production team immediately added a booing sound effect and typed out the subtitles: [Of course, do something! ]

Sawyer Ji: ...So shameful.

Sawyer Ji on TV heard the teasing from other stars around him, blushed slightly, and whispered: "Read a book."

"What book are you reading?"

"I'm currently watching GONE WITH THE WIND."

"Wow, Xiaonan always reads the original English version?"

Sawyer Ji on TV nodded shyly.

Sawyer Ji outside the TV was extremely embarrassed. At that time, he was like a possessed person, showing off everywhere, thinking that Graham Qin might see it someday.

Now that he had really seen it, Sawyer Ji was not happy at all. In his previous life, Graham Qin had never seen his reality show, let alone the movies and TV series he acted in. Whenever Sawyer Ji invited him to watch his new TV series, he would say he was busy and couldn't spare the time.

Sawyer Ji once thought that he was not good enough, had never won the Best Actor or Best Actress award, and seemed unprofessional. Later, he realized that Graham Qin simply looked down on him as an actor. Even if he forced himself to cheer up and read more books, he could not change his image as a vase actor in Graham Qin's mind.

Sawyer Ji glanced at Graham Qin beside him and saw that he was sitting upright, staring at the TV screen intently. His serious look made Sawyer Ji want to applaud and cheer for him.

The boring question-and-answer session on TV continues.

"Can I ask a question? I'm asking on behalf of all Nanbao's fans." Xixi raised her hand.

The male host signaled to her that it was OK.

Xixi smiled slyly: "Excuse me, what is Nanbao's ideal type? Please be more specific!"

Sawyer Ji thought something was wrong and wanted to rush over to cover Graham Qin's ears, but he couldn't do that.

"Hey, I want to eat something." Sawyer Ji said with gritted teeth.

Graham Qin turned to look at him: "What do you want to eat?"

"It's okay. I'm hungry." He just wanted to get rid of the person.

"Okay." Graham Qin nodded in agreement and turned back to watching TV. "Finish watching this segment."

Sawyer Ji was shocked and thought it would be better to just cover his ears.

But it was too late. The shy Sawyer Ji on TV lowered his eyes and said, "Tall, mature, smart, loves reading, and...good at English."

"Wow, based on this detailed description, it seems that our Nan Bao has someone in his heart?"

Sawyer Ji's face on TV turned even redder, even the tips of his ears turned red.

Sawyer Ji also felt embarrassed and wished he could find a crack to crawl into.
