Chapter ７

[Alex's perspective]

"In a sepulchral castle, there lived an immortal man, who only went out once a month to find the most beautiful children and took them back for the ritual of the circle."

Then the elevator suddenly shut down.

"You scared me to death."

The two of us reflexively hugged and comforted each other.

At this moment, the elevator door opened, and the inspector looked at us in surprise. I felt my face turn red instantly.

"The elevator problems seems to be caused by an emergency power outage."

"You two ... Are you not scared?"

"We are fine."

"Not scared at all."

Said the two voices in harmony but with the tone of a shattered glass.

Back in the room, I only felt exhausted.

"You go wash first, I'll take a shower later."

"Hmm."

Just as I closed my eyes wearily, I heard a "click."

"Alex, what's going on?"

"There seems to be a power failure."

"Yes, it is a power outage."

"Then come in and help me, I can't see it."

"I?"

"All right. "

I went into the bathroom in the dark and gave him a bath lotion.

"Oh, Charlie, how do you exercise these eight abdominal muscles?"

"There is also the abdomon line, this chest muscle."

"You ... don't touch it! Just take a bath, go to bed, and get up early. We have a shooting tomorrow."

"OK?"

The two of us quickly took a cold bath and laid in bed.

"Charlie, are you asleep?"

I was lying in bed with him, but I couldn't sleep.

"I can't sleep. There have been too many accidents today. There are a lot of things in my mind."

"Well, yes, today is very tiring."

"Charlie, do you know why I need to act?"

"I don't know."

"I have a brother. I have always admired my brother. Although he has always been cold to me and he often accuses me of doing nothing good, I still admire him."

"I want to be like him, and I want to make a difference."

"Well ... it's OK. You have a motivation."

"Right, I think so."

"By the way, Charlie, do you know?"

"What?"

"I can feel your heartbeat, I can hear your heart beating."

"This ....."

[Charlie's perspective]

I confessed many things to him, but I didn't get a firm reply, and I was at a loss.

At midnight, he took the initiative to open up to me.

"I can hear your heartbeat."

When I heard this, I was not a little bit surprised.

"This ....."

"Why is it so coincidental, why?"

I didn't mention this topic again, and we went to sleep in silence.

We woke up early the next day.

"Morning, director!"

"OK morning, everyone."

"It's time to do wire work."

After a whole day's filming, it's also the turn of the first beginning of this drama.

"Yes, remember to pay attention to safety and be careful."

"OK."

That said, the accident came so suddenly.

"It hurts ..."

It was the first thing I said to him today.

Lying in his arms, looking at his anxious look, I didn't seem to care so much about anything else.
