186. Qi Le An Lost His Voice

Qi Le’an got sick so seriously this time that his throat was aching and hoarse. A week later, his symptoms of the cold were not so obvious, but he still couldn’t make a sound.

His throat hurt when he swallowed. He was completely speechless.

When he got up that morning and found this symptom, Qi Le’an was scared to death. He tried to drink as much water as he could, but it didn’t work. No way out, he hurried to the hospital. However, the doctor’s diagnosis still left him helpless. He was simply advised that it was the temporary loss of voice caused by a viral cold, which was no big problem.

Qi Le’an stared at the doctor. He couldn’t understand why this doctor still insisted that it was nothing serious even if he had lost his voice.

Frustrated, he had to go home and search the Internet for answers. However, he found that the website only introduced how to prevent colds.

The incident of losing his voice could not be hidden anyway. Only after three seconds of the video call, Wei Changfeng was keenly aware that something was wrong with Qi Le’an.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Changfeng asked cautiously, “What is ailing you? ”

Qi Le’an shook his head. He tried to speak but failed.

Wei Changfeng frowned and asked, “Your throat hurts?”

These days, he noticed that Le’an had been feeling uncomfortable in his throat and could only eat some porridge. He wondered if it was more serious now.

Qi Le’an nodded.

Wei Changfeng’s heart ached, “Have you taken Pe Pa Koa cough syrup? Go and buy some from the chemist’s.”

Qi Le’an wanted to answer, but he could not utter a sound!

After saying a few more words, Wei Changfeng felt the situation more and more strange. He thought even if Qi Le’an’s throat hurt, he should at least say something. He wondered what was wrong with Le’an.

Wei Changfeng thus asked suspiciously, “Do you feel unwell with you apart from the sore in your throat?”

Qi Le’an shook his head.

Wei Changfeng suddenly shouted, “Le’an!”

Ah!

Qi Le’an wide opened his mouth to respond but he didn’t make a sound out at all.

At last, Wei Changfeng was confirmed that something was indeed wrong,

“You can’t be… you are unable to speak, right?”

Qi Le’an QAQ. He could only show his tearless grief.

Wei Changfeng frowned. How he wished he could climb to Qi Le’an’s side along with the Internet right away, “Have you gone to see the doctor?”

Qi Le’an couldn’t help typing a message to Wei Changfeng: Yes, but the doctor said that it was swollen throat …QAQ.

Even after reading the message, Wei Changfeng was still very worried. He suggested, “Why don’t you come over here? Let me take care of you.”

Perhaps everyone was weak in front of his caring ones. Upon hearing this, Qi Le’an suddenly felt the urge to reach out and ask Wei Changfeng for a hug.

He mouthed, “Okay.”

Both of them acted quickly. After hanging up the video call, Qi Le’an started packing up his suitcase and prepared a few clothes as well as some common medicine for the cold. And Wei Changfeng booked a flight for Qi Le’an.

The flight was in the afternoon, so Qi Le’an could have a meal first, and then go straight to the airport with his luggage.

The journey was long and slow but it couldn’t stop the passion between two lovers.

Despite the inconvenience caused by being unable to speak, Qi Le’an arrived in New Zealand safely 20 hours later.

Then he transferred from Auckland to Hamilton, where he saw Wei Changfeng as soon as he got off the plane.

Of course, Wei Changfeng also saw Qi Le’an at the first glance. Both of them hadn’t seen each other for half a month. For the moment, they both stood there and were speechless.

Finally, Wei Changfeng smiled gently and opened his arms wide.

Qi Le’an rushed over and the two of them hugged each other tightly.

Quickly, Wei Changfeng looked at Qi Le’an and asked, “Do you feel any better now?”

Qi Le’an made a pitiful expression and opened his mouth wide to say “Ah”, but it was a pity that there was only a weak flow.

Wei Changfeng’s heart ached. He took out his cup from his bag and said, “I’ve stewed some pears with rock sugar. Have some first.”

The pear stew in the thermos cup was still warm. Qi Le’an couldn’t imagine how Wei Changfeng was able to make such a soup for him when he was so busy. Qi Le’an was very touched while having the stew. He suddenly felt that his throat didn’t hurt so much.

He smiled at Wei Changfeng, who was pulling his luggage, and asked, “Let’s go to the hotel first?”

Qi Le’an nodded.

Wei Changfeng’s crew was in Matamata Town, Hamilton. He had borrowed a car from the crew and it took them about half an hour to drive from the airport to the hotel.

“I have to go back to the crew later. I’ll be back at around eight or nine in the evening. You sleep for a while first?” Wei Changfeng asked Qi Le’an.

Qi Le’an nodded and mouthed, “Ok”.

The two of them entered the hotel. Wei Changfeng had booked a king-size bedroom and he had got everything clean and tidy inside. He put down Qi Le’an’s luggage and said, “Just keep the windows open a little, but don’t turn on the air conditioning.”

The United States and New Zealand were in two opposite seasons. At the moment, New York was snowing heavily, while Auckland was in the scorching sun.

Qi Le’an nodded and watched Wei Changfeng make the bed for him and open the windows. He couldn’t help but suddenly hug Wei Changfeng from behind.

Wei Changfeng smiled and looked back, “Yes?”

Qi Le’an lay in his Wei Sama’s neck, sniffed with his nose, and smelt a pleasant scent of the shower gel.

Qi Le’an thought his Wei Sama had changed his shower gel.

Wei Changfeng was tickled, so he smiled, “Hey, my little puppy.” And he turned his head and kissed Qi Le’an.

This was their first kiss after they met, long and affectionately.

Qi Le’an felt disturbed when they parted because he was afraid that he would infect Wei Changfeng with his cold.

Wei Changfeng touched Qi Le’an on the head and asked gently, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

Qi Le’an was having congee this week and he was tired of it. Thus his eyes took on a pitiful expression. Seeing this, Wei Changfeng laughed and said, “Well, I know it.”

Qi Le’an mouthed, “What?” He wondered what Wei Changfeng had known.

Suddenly, Wei Changfeng’s phone rang. He answered the phone in a hurry and got ready to leave. Before going, he reminded Qi Le’an, “There’s still some pear stew in the thermos cup. Remember to have it.”

Qi Le’an nodded.

After Wei Changfeng left, Qi Le’an took a shower before going to bed. In the bathroom, he observed around carefully and found that Wei Changfeng had indeed changed his shower gel into another brand. He rejoiced at his discovery and decided that he would change to the same brand of the gel, too.

The international voyage was tiring. After Qi Le’an took a shower, he couldn’t help but get sleepy. He fell on the bed and slept soundly. The moment before he was about to fall asleep, he was enjoying the smell of his Wei Sama on the bed.

Qi Le’an was deep in his sleep until the sky darkened outside. And he was finally awakened by the hunger in his stomach.

Wei Changfeng had returned from work and borrowed the hotel kitchen to cook dinner for Qi Le’an.

Qi Le’an woke up when he smelt the aroma and his eyes lit up! Although he didn’t know what his Wei Sama had prepared for him, he was sure it was not the smell of the porridge!

Wei Changfeng smiled, “You’re awake? Are you hungry? ”

Qi Le’an nodded wildly.

Wei Changfeng took some rice from the insulation barrel. “I’ve just made this… It may be tasty and better than porridge,”

Said Wei Changfeng with a smile.

Indeed, he didn’t make much food, but it was really tasty. What his Wei Sama had made were taro and mung bean soup, braised tofu, handmade fish balls, and a bowl of noodles.

Qi Le’an was so touched that he was about to cry. It had been so long since he had such a big meal!

The mung bean soup could help reduce internal heat while the tofu and fish balls were soft and delicious. As for the noodles, they were particularly good to the throat.

Qi Le’an was very satisfied with this meal and gave Wei Changfeng a thumbs-up even if he couldn’t say anything. Wei Changfeng was sitting on the side watching. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and burst into laughter.

Qi Le’an was surprised and mouthed, ‘Why? What’s the matter with Wei Sama?’

Wei Changfeng pinched Qi Le’an on the arm and teased, “I am thinking how long it needs for me to fatten you up before selling you out!”

Qi Le’an snorted, ‘You can’t sell me, Wei Sama! This business is 100% going to fail in your hands!’

Sure enough, Wei Changfeng shook his head with regret while replying himself, “I think I can’t sell you out in my lifetime.”

Wei Changfeng worked very hard. Every day, he went out early and returned late. And every time he returned, he had to go to Director Spear for a meeting first.

Qi Le’an had been here for three days, during which Wei Changfeng had cooked for him all the time. Qi Le’an loved Wei Sama, so he didn’t allow Wei Changfeng to go to the kitchen on the fourth day.

Wei Changfeng then suggested, “Shall we go out for a walk today?” These days, Qi Le’an hadn’t walked out of the room at all.

Qi Le’an’s voice recovered a little and he could make a little sound, “Is that okay?” In such a case, people might think he was a little lover adopted by Wei Sama!

Wei Changfeng smiled, “What are you thinking about these days…  Director Spear knows that you’re here from the beginning.”

Qi Le’an was speechless.

“Otherwise, how else can I take leave to pick you up?” Wei Changfeng added.

Qi Le’an thought about it and had to agree with him.

“Tomorrow, the shooting here will end. The team will have three days off and then we’ll go to another city,” Wei Changfeng said, “There’s nothing much to do at the moment. How about taking you to the crew to have a look over there?”

Qi Le’an’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Really?”

He had been curious about Director Spear’s work for a long time, but unfortunately, the confidentiality for their work was too strict. Up till now, he knew nothing about it.

Wei Changfeng nodded. “Yes, Director Spear took the initiative to offer this.”

Wei Changfeng had been cooking in the kitchen these few days and had a lot of communication with the hotel chefs. For some reason, this matter spread to Spear’s ears. Spear was curious about all these and even came to enjoy with them a meal that Wei Changfeng cooked. And immediately after this, Spear expressed his wish that Qi Le’an could stay with the crew.

Spear’s plan was clear that if Qi Le’an stayed with them, he could come and enjoy the meals of Wei Changfeng with them from time to time!

Chinese food made by Wei Changfeng was delicious! A head chef told him that Wei Changfeng made different Chinese dishes these days! Each of them looked very appetizing!

Qi Le’an was surprised and amused after hearing these. He nodded, “Yes, I’ll go to the crew with you!”

That afternoon, Qi Le’an, who had been taken care of by Wei Changfeng for a few days, finally walked out of the hotel room.

The weather in New Zealand was pleasant, and the scenery of Matamata Town was excellent. Walking on the village road, Qi Le’an took a breath of the smell of soil and felt very refreshed.

The surroundings were fresh and pleasant!

It would take just five or six minutes to drive from the hotel to the crew’s shooting location, but both of them spent 20 minutes walking slowly along the path to enjoying the view. Director Spear’s new work was a blockbuster production, and the special terrain and scenery of Matamata Town were in line with the dreamlike situation in the movie.

The crew had built a dwarf house on the hill, which was one-third smaller than the normal buildings. In addition to the house, there were windmills, rivers, waterwheels, and a series of other things around.

Qi Le’an was stunned at seeing all these. He praised in his unique airflow tone, “It's so beautiful!”

The breeze blew on their faces. Qi Le’an looked down from the top of the hill. The bright colors of the small dwarf house made him feel that he had mistakenly entered the fairy tale castle.

“The designers had been working for a year and a half, and it took them another three months to build all these,” Wei Changfeng sighed with emotion.

From Wei Changfeng’s focused side face, Qi Le’an could see his love for the world in front of him. In other words, he saw Wei Changfeng’s love for his current job.

‘Fortunately, Wei Sama came back,’ Qi Le’an thought,

‘Fortunately, Wei Sama didn’t give up his dream for me.’
