Chapter 1 The Doll in the Window This is really not his body...

On the night Li Wei died, the city saw its first snow of the winter. He was returning to the company dormitory from his sister Li Mo's school and passed by a shop window. It was not the first time he passed by this shop, but today, his eyes were attracted by a huge rabbit doll behind the glass. It wears a playful Christmas outfit and smiles at everyone who passes by. Its simple facial expressions are very lively and cute. It is Li Mo's favorite cartoon character.

Li Xi stopped in front of the window, took out his cell phone and took a photo. Just as he opened the WeChat chat box of his sister that was pinned to the top of the page, an out-of-control car rushed onto the sidewalk.

Li Xi heard the glass breaking and people around him screaming.

He must have died a very ugly death. At the moment when his ribs and internal organs were crushed, Li Xi's only thought was that he hoped his sister would not see his body.

But he regained consciousness quickly. When Li Xi opened his eyes again, the rabbit doll that smiled at him seemed to still be on his retina.

It was obvious that he was in the hospital.

Li Xi let out a long breath, but there was no place on his body that made him feel unusually painful, and there was not even an oxygen mask on his face.

Not only did he not die, but he recovered well? Has he been unconscious for a long time?

Li Xi tilted his head and saw someone beside the bed. After noticing his movement, he immediately stood up and looked at him in surprise, "Brother Lan, you're awake!"

Brother Lan? What Blue Brother...

This person looks familiar, and seems to be someone from the company.

"I was really scared, but luckily the doctor said it's nothing serious... Are you feeling unwell anywhere, Brother Lan? The doctor said you have a mild concussion. Are you dizzy? Do you want to vomit?"

Li Wei looked at him in confusion. He seemed a little dizzy. How could he not feel dizzy after smashing the glass on his head?

Is he so lucky? Li Xi thought in disbelief. The car was going very fast, and he felt the inhuman pain of his whole body being crushed and shattered. His head would have been cracked if it hadn't been flattened by the impact.

Thinking of this, Li Xi raised his hand and touched his head and face.

"Don't worry, Brother Lan, there's nothing wrong with your handsome face!" the man said to Li Xi when he saw this. There was no mirror nearby, so he took out his phone, turned on the front camera, and pointed it at Li Wei's face: "Look! It's still so perfect. Maybe there's a bump on the side of your head..."

Before he could finish his words, the person on the bed sat up suddenly and almost knocked his phone away.

"What's wrong with you, Brother Lan?" He was startled and saw that his Brother Lan's chest was heaving violently, his face was several shades paler than before, he stared at his mobile phone in disbelief, his mouth half open but no sound came out.

He hurriedly put his phone in his pocket, held Li Xi's shoulders and said in panic: "Are you feeling unwell? Don't scare me, I'll go call a doctor!"

The man hurried out of the ward, and Li Xi touched his face and hair again.

The hair was longer than his own and had hair gel on it.

He lowered his head, lifted the quilt, and untied the hospital gown with trembling hands. The body was intact, without even a single wound.

This isn't really his body.

That face, the face he had just seen on the phone, belonged to someone he was not familiar with but had resented.

More than two years ago, his entertainment company planned to launch a new five-member boy group To5. Li Xi performed well among the trainees, and it was basically decided that he and four other people would debut as a group. The five of them also held a meeting together to discuss matters related to forming a group. But the night before the list was to be announced, someone in the company who had a good relationship with him approached him and said that he wanted to give him a heads-up that the result might change.

When the list was announced, the names of the other four people were still there, but his was replaced by a completely unfamiliar name - Jiang Yilan.

If this person was a trainee with equal ability to him, or even weaker than him, Li Xi would not have any dissatisfaction. But after getting to know him better, I found out that he was a second-generation rich man who wanted to be a star and famous purely on a whim. His parents were shareholders of this economic company. His singing skills were at KTV level, and his only dancing experience was radio gymnastics, not to mention other professional abilities.

Fortunately, her appearance is too great an advantage, and it is reasonable for her to debut as a star based on her looks. She is stuffed into this group as a vase, and as for her actual strength, I hope she can improve slowly in the future.

Li Xi asked the company at that time why they had to replace him and why they couldn't form a six-member group? He was told, "Why don't you ask Jiang Yilan?" The person who answered him also looked embarrassed, "He doesn't want to debut in a group with you."

It was not until he saw Jiang Yilan's photo that Li Xi remembered that he had seen this person before, in the company.

At around one o'clock that afternoon, Li Xi was preparing to go to vocal music class and ran into Jiang Yilan in the corridor.

"You are a trainee, right?" The man said to him in a matter-of-fact tone that Li Xi couldn't understand, "Go to the first floor and get me some takeaway."

Li Xi looked at him. His face was so beautiful that it was unforgettable.

"Why?"

“I’m the director’s son.”

"Oh." Li Wei brushed past his shoulder and went to class.

"Where are you going? The elevator is this way!"

He shouted at Li Xi, but Li Xi walked away without looking back.

Li Xi actually laughed when he thought of this incident. Anyone who heard it would find it ridiculous.

But it was such a ridiculous thing that changed his fate.

This is too common in any circle. Li Xi is an ordinary person. He only has his sister at home and depends on her for everything. What can a person like him do to fight against capital? He only had two choices: accept his fate and wait for the next opportunity, or simply give up this path.

Li Xi chose the first one. In the past two years, he worked twice as hard and his test scores got better and better. He was a person who entered the company through dancing selection, but he practiced his singing and rap skills to the point where he could stand on his own. The company is not stupid. They know that such a good talent cannot be wasted, but it takes time to form a new group. Just two months ago, the company told him that the plan for the new boy group had been finalized and the members had been selected. He would be the captain and ACE, and they would support him.

It was supposed to come two years late, but good things finally come. Unfortunately, an accident happened faster than good things, and he died.

The door was pushed open, and two other people came in with the doctor. In addition to the person who was in front of the bed just now, there was also To5's captain, Rong Xiao.

At this moment, Li Xi remembered who this familiar person was. He was Xiao Cheng, the new assistant of To5. When Li Xi was in the company, he usually stayed in the practice room and dormitory, and this assistant had probably only run into him twice.

The doctor came over first and gave him a simple examination, asking him if he felt any discomfort.

"……No."

His voice was hoarse, but one could tell that it didn't belong to him.

"Your mother is on the way." Rong Xiao said. He walked to the bed and comforted him, "We have told your mother that you are fine. Don't worry. She is on the plane now and can't contact you yet."

Mom and Dad, such unfamiliar words.

Li Xi couldn't even remember what her parents looked like. Photos were always flat and could not allow Li Xi to imagine a three-dimensional, vivid person.

Jiang Yilan, the parents of this body, are the shareholders of this company and were the second person to kick him out of To5.

His reaction was really abnormal, Rong Xiao asked worriedly: "Are you really okay, Yilan? Do you want another thorough check?"

Was this his near-death hallucination?

"I...I can't quite remember. Am I injured?"

Rong Xiao and Xiao Cheng were stunned.

"We were having a concert, did you forget?" Rong Xiao said, "The lift was broken, and you missed a step and fell when you were walking back, luckily it wasn't that high."

"The height was not high, but you were unconscious the whole time." Xiao Cheng said terrifiedly, "The fans are scared to death, and now the Internet is in chaos."

Rong Xiao observed his reaction and said, "You can post a Weibo to let your fans know you are safe. The company's official Weibo account will also post a Weibo to explain the situation."

Li Xi knew that To5 was on tour recently. He had been avoiding receiving any information about To5 in the past two years, but he could not resist the overwhelming news about this popular group. When you open an app on your phone, the opening screen often shows the five of them, with Jiang Yilan’s handsome face usually shining in the middle. Besides, they are from the same company, so it is hard for him not to know about their latest situation.

The three people, including the doctor, looked at him, waiting for his reply. Li Xi nodded, then half-seriously and half-fakingly showed a confused expression and said to the three people: "I might... have really hit my head. I can't remember a lot of things."

Rong Xiao and Xiao Cheng looked at the doctor, who speculated, "It may be temporary amnesia. We'll check it out later."

Rong Xiao comforted him: "It's okay, today is the end of the tour, you should rest well and you will recover."

"Yes." Li Xi agreed, and then asked: "Can you give me my phone?"

Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment and gave him the phone. Li Xi said "thank you" to him. Xiao Cheng and Rong Xiao looked at each other again.

Jiang Yilan has never said thank you to Xiao Cheng. Although his attitude is not bad, he always speaks to his assistant in an imperative manner. He never asks questions with "Can I...?" and he never says polite words such as "Sorry, thank you".

Did you really lose your memory? There was obvious surprise and doubt in the looks that Rong Xiao and Xiao Cheng exchanged.

Li Xi used facial recognition to unlock his phone. He checked the time and saw that it had been less than three hours since he was hit by the car. When she opened WeChat, a large amount of information flooded into the screen. Li Xi glanced through them and found that the most messages came from the dialog box with the note "Mom".

Li Xi didn't click it. He closed WeChat and opened Weibo. His latest Weibo post had exploded with comments. All the reminders in the message bar were set to red dots without showing specific numbers, but one could imagine how many fans had been constantly entering and exiting his homepage in less than three hours.

Although he was not the one who was truly concerned, Li Xi did not want so many people to keep worrying. He looked up and asked the captain: "I'll post a Weibo now and say 'I'm fine, sorry to have worried everyone', is that ok?"

If he wasn't looking at Rong Xiao, and if Xiao Cheng wasn't the only one present who could make the decision, Rong Xiao wouldn't have dared to believe that Jiang Yilan was asking for his opinion.

After more than two years in the group, Jiang Yilan has never taken anyone in the team seriously. He has always been a man of his own accord. Except for the captain and good-natured guy Rong Xiao, who treats him well, the other three have never concealed their dissatisfaction with Jiang Yilan. Jiang Yilan doesn't like to pay attention to them either. Their relationship is purely that of colleagues.

At this time, Jiang Yilan raised his head and waited for his reply with a sincere expression.

Rong Xiao suppressed his inner shock and suggested, "If it's convenient, you can take a selfie, otherwise the fans might think that the staff sent it using your phone."

"good."

When he turned on the front camera again, Li Xi's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Li Xi adjusted her expression, smiled at the camera, and took a photo.

There is no need to worry about adjusting the selfie angle or retouching the photo. Even if the face does not look good at the moment, it does not affect the original photo and can be taken directly.

Li Xi edited the text and photos, and handed the phone to Rong Xiao to look at, "Rong...Brother?" He remembered that Rong Xiao was older than Jiang Yilan, and wondered how Jiang Yilan used to call him. "Do you think this is okay?"

Rong Xiao's eyes widened instantly, making Li Xi certain that Jiang Yilan had never called him that before. Li Xi suddenly felt like laughing, because Rong Xiao's expression could be described as flattered, yet also filled with discomfort. Li Xi pursed her lips, suppressed her inappropriate smile, and sent a Weibo message after Rong Xiao nodded.

In just a few seconds, his cell phone rang. It was the prelude to their new song, and the caller ID was "Mom."
