Chapter 57
Lu Tianyan is about to die.
He is now hanging on with only one breath left to survive, and the Lu family's side branches and group shareholders are all eyeing the family property in his hands.
As the heir to the Lu family's huge fortune, Lu Jiuxu has naturally been frequently bullied by them recently.
In order to stabilize the situation, he basically stayed up late and worked overtime every day during this period.
There was a problem with the bidding for the land in Xiangwan today, which made him very upset.
But Su Xingyao's sudden appearance made him wake up instantly.
He lowered his eyes and focused his gaze forward.
The person with his back to him was like a kitten that had no defenses against people.
Her voice was soft and she had a pleasant scent of shower gel on her body.
Su Xingyao took the initiative to roll up the hem of her clothes with her slender fingers.
The white and slender waist under the clothes was directly exposed to Lu Jiuxu's sight.
The lower part of the sunken waist was hidden by the fabric in the loose pajamas.
Connecting the waistline is a full and round figure and slender and straight legs.
Seeing that the person behind him didn't move, Su Xingyao turned around and spoke as if asking for help.
"Mr. Lu, please help me apply some medicine. I can't sleep because of the itchiness..."
Su Xingyao's tone of voice was extremely normal.
But to some people, it somehow sounds a bit like coquettishness.
My heart felt like it was gently scratched by a kitten's claws.
Lu Jiuxu withdrew his thoughts and reached out to take the ointment and cotton swab from the other person's other hand.
After taking a glance at the protruding red spot on the fair skin, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Allergic?"
While speaking, he gently applied the ointment on Su Xingyao's skin with a cotton swab.
The strength in Lu Jiuxu's hands had never been so gentle in his life.
The cotton swab quickly touched the delicate skin, and the cool feeling instantly covered the original itching.
Su Xingyao squinted her eyes comfortably and her shoulders slightly contracted.
He didn't know if it was because Lu Jiuxu's movements were too gentle, but he felt as if wherever the cotton swab passed was being gently brushed with a feather.
The feeling is very subtle.
It even spreads rapidly along the skin where it has been applied to other parts of the body.
"I covered my head..." Su Xingyao said softly, "There was a power outage when we were recording the show today."
Lu Jiuxu noticed the trembling of Su Xingyao's shoulders and stopped what he was doing.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt..." Su Xingyao explained to the other party embarrassedly, "It's actually quite comfortable, just a little itchy."
"It's not that the wound is itchy, it's just that... I'm a little ticklish."
Lu Jiuxu did not respond immediately, but dipped the medicine into a new potion and started applying it.
"Then I'll apply it faster."
"OK."
Su Xingyao felt that the other party had almost finished applying the cream, so she rolled up her clothes.
But he had his hands behind his back and couldn't move.
After Lu Jiuxu finished applying the lotion to his lower back, he gave him a hand, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and lifted it up little by little.
In less than two seconds, Su Xingyao's slender and beautiful back was almost completely exposed to Lu Jiuxu.
It is a very beautiful and perfect body.
Not too frail, yet with extremely graceful lines.
But the only flaw is the scar on the butterfly bone.
Lu Jiuxu's eyes fell on the scar and he stared at it for a long time.
Seeing that Lu Jiuxu didn't move, Su Xingyao remembered that she had a wound on her back caused by the doll costume, so she opened the bottle of iodine and handed it to Lu Jiuxu.
"Is there still a scratch on my back? Is it scabbed over? Could you please apply the solution on me as well?"
Lu Jiuxu hummed lightly, changed the cotton swab directly, and applied iodine to the wound.
But his eyes were still on the scar.
His gaze was so strong that even though Su Xingyao had her back to him, she could still feel where he was staring at.
He could talk about this injury with No. 77 casually, but at this moment he inexplicably didn't want Lu Jiuxu to see it.
Just when he wanted to ask the other party whether the medicine had been applied, he found that Lu Jiuxu gently touched the skin there with a cotton swab.
It was clearly just a very light touch, but the skin under the man's sight began to feel abnormally hot.
Su Xingyao's body seemed to be touched by some strange heating mechanism.
The surrounding fair skin instantly became slightly flushed, and the color became pink and moist.
Even the ugly scar had a bit more color.
“Does this need to be painted?”
The man's voice was a little deeper than before.
Su Xingyao shook his head and took a deep breath, "No need for that..."
"Did I hurt you?" Lu Jiuxu frowned.
Seeing that Lu Jiuxu misunderstood, Su Xingyao explained vaguely, "No, that was an old wound. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Lu Jiuxu didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and carefully described the scar with his eyes.
If Su Xingyao is pure and flawless white jade, then this scar is the only flaw on it.
And the person who caused this accident.
Damn it.
Where Su Xingyao couldn't see, Lu Jiuxu's eyes darkened, but his tone was full of pity.
"Such a large wound must have been very painful at the time."
It must have been painful...
Six years later, Lu Jiuxu was the only one who could recall how he felt at that time.
Su Xingyao, who clearly thought that the wound was not a big deal, suddenly felt her heart skip a beat because of the other party's words.
A very strange feeling came over him.
Su Xingyao couldn't figure out why she felt this way. She just lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, "It hurts a lot."
“But it’s all over now.”
Realizing that Su Xingyao didn't want to mention the scar, Lu Jiuxu suppressed all his emotions and didn't ask any further questions.
He pulled Su Xingyao's clothes tightly, and waited until the medicine was absorbed by the skin before letting it go gently.
The back after applying the ointment felt cool, and Su Xingyao felt a lot more comfortable.
He turned to thank Lu Jiuxu, but saw that his usually energetic face actually showed a hint of fatigue.
"Mr. Lu, have you been busy with work recently? You come home so late every day."
Lu Jiuxu unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt with one hand and replied nonchalantly, "It's almost done."
He looked up at Su Xingyao who was still standing there looking at him and laughed.
"I'm fine, go to bed, it's late."
Su Xingyao nodded, put the ointment and cotton swabs back into the medicine box, turned around and said good night to Lu Jiuxu, "Then you should go to bed early too."
"I will."
However, Lu Jiuxu, who verbally promised Su Xingyao to go to bed early, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep that night.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the ugly scar on Su Xingyao's fair skin.
The skin is so sensitive that even a cotton swab lightly brushing across the shoulder will cause it to tremble slightly.
So how deep would the burns be? How painful would it be?
The more Lu Jiuxu thought about it, the more he found the scar annoying.
I wish I could contact the best doctor in the world immediately to help Su Xingyao remove it permanently.
*
The little red spots on Su Xingyao's back came and went quickly, and the next day there was no pain, itching or swelling anymore.
Without these worries, he began to prepare how to sing the kawaii song he picked yesterday using falsetto.
After searching online for how to fake a voice, all she found were videos of a 180-pound boy pretending to be a cute little girl. Su Xingyao decided to give up...
The next day, the program team notified all contestants to go to the studio to record new content.
There is not much time left until the third live performance.
Everyone knows that after a few days of recording, the program team will definitely announce the content of the next competition.
After Su Xingyao arrived at the scene, she found that the rapper, who always wore black clothes and black pants, was actually wearing a trainee's uniform today.
All the contestants in the same group surrounded him and started to cheer wildly.
"Yo~~~~~~~~~ handsome guy, who are you?"
"Why do we have trainees here?"
The rapper who borrowed the singing and dancing singer's uniform was so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed to raise his head.
His eyes accidentally caught sight of the singer who was about to perform acrobatics on the spot passing by, and he quickly grabbed the person.
"Brother, how are your acrobatic preparations going?"
The other party pointed confidently at the rope hanging in the air.
"Shall I take you to experience it on the spot?"
The rapper quickly waved his hands and hid behind Su Xingyao’s teddy bear.
Seeing that he failed, the acrobat brother invited Su Xingyao again: "Cat, do you want to try it? I will take you to fly and turn you into a flying cat."
Su Xingyao was so scared that she took three steps back, bent over, and hid behind the rapper as a shield.
"No, brother, I'm afraid of heights!"
Fu Qingyan was watching the contestants fighting in the mentor seat when two messages popped up on WeChat.
It was sent to him by Shen Huaixi.
Shen Huaixi: Qingyan, have you contacted Director Zhang for me?
Since the last incident, Shen Huaixi's reputation has completely collapsed among the audience.
Because this matter involved suppressing Su Xingyao, he didn't have the face to cry and complain to Shen Liangyu and Wen Ningshu.
He finally managed to put off his adoptive parents, but Qin Mingchuan ended up falling out with him and cancelled his movie star license.
In the past, he had the support of movie stars, Qin Mingchuan and the Shen family, so he never had to worry about resources.
But now that Qin Mingchuan, the idiot, is gone and providing him with resources, he doesn't dare to mess with the Shen family's relationship and get into trouble at this time.
Therefore, I can only count on Fu Qingyan, who still sticks with me.
As long as celebrities and artists have gained popularity and seen the scenery from a high place, they will not be willing to be lonely.
So Shen Huaixi has been thinking about how to turn things around.
So he planned to follow Fu Qingyan's path as an actor during this period of silence.
After the hype has died down for a while, when he makes a comeback, he will directly use the works of these big directors to fool his fans and netizens.
Therefore, when he learned that Director Zhang was going to make a new movie, he immediately asked Fu Qingyan to help him get a role.
But he waited for a long time but received no news from the other party, so today he could only take the initiative to ask.
After reading Shen Huaixi's message, Fu Qingyan immediately typed a reply.
[Director Zhang asked you to audition next Wednesday]
After sending a few words, somehow, what Qin Mingchuan said to him the day before yesterday suddenly flooded into Fu Qingyan's mind.
As if possessed by some strange force, he typed another line of words on his phone.
Fu Qingyan: Huaixi, do you still remember the fire six years ago?
The message [The other party is typing...] on the phone disappeared instantly.
After about two minutes, Shen Huaixi replied to him.
Shen Huaixi: What’s wrong?
It is generally difficult for real people to determine the other person's true emotions through text on a mobile phone.
But at this time, Fu Qingyan seemed to feel Shen Huaixi's nervousness and impatience through these three words.
Fu Qingyan: Nothing, I just dreamed about the fire again last night.
Fu Qingyan: I dreamed that you rushed into the sea of fire and carried me out
After sending this message, Fu Qingyan gently closed his eyes.
The bad memory came back to him again.
He heard from people around him that Shen Huaixi carried him out after he woke up.
Ban Yang said that he woke up from a coma once and saw him and Shen Huaixi lying together.
Other people at the scene also told him that it was Shen Huaixi who saved him and was injured in the process of saving him.
Fu Qingyan himself actually doesn't have a very clear memory of this incident.
He only remembered that the last scene he saw before he passed out was Shen Huaixi running towards him in a panic in the sea of fire.
Then everything went dark before his eyes and he knew nothing.
After recalling the scene at that time, Fu Qingyan immediately typed the next line of words.
Fu Qingyan: You are so small, it's really hard for you
Shen Huaixi unexpectedly did not reply to him immediately.
After deleting and revising the messages on my phone for a long time, I finally replied, "I didn't think too much about it at the time."
Fu Qingyan read these words twice and finally asked the question that had been on his mind since chatting with Qin Mingchuan.
Fu Qingyan: Do you know where Su Xingyao went during that time?
This time Shen Huaixi replied very quickly.
Shen Huaixi:?
Shen Huaixi: Why do you suddenly ask this?
Fu Qingyan also felt that it was a bit boring for him to suddenly ask Shen Huaixi like this, so he wanted to post something nothing.
As a result, Shen Huaixi hurriedly sent a third message.
Shen Huaixi: Have you met Qin Mingchuan?
Fu Qingyan didn't know why the other party suddenly changed the topic to Qin Mingchuan, but he still answered truthfully with a "Yes, I have met him."
When Shen Huaixi on the other end of the phone saw these two words, his heart instantly sank, and he quickly gave Fu Qingyan a shot of prevention.
Shen Huaixi: He has been acting strange recently, and seems to have a lot of complaints about me.
Shen Huaixi: And he is very keen on slandering me everywhere, don't listen to him
After typing these few sentences, Shen Huaixi asked again.
Shen Huaixi: Did he tell you anything?
Fu Qingyan looked at Shen Huaixi’s crackling sentences.
After hesitating for a moment, he somehow chose to conceal the content of his meeting with Qin Mingchuan.
He answered, no.
After saying these two words, Fu Qingyan looked towards the stage from the mentor seat.
Just then, I saw Su Xingyao waving her hands in fear at the acrobatic singer, shouting that she was afraid of heights.
Looking at this scene, he felt that it looked familiar, as if he had heard similar words somewhere before...
Something suddenly flashed through his mind, but Fu Qingyan failed to grasp the key information.
Sheng Yan happened to walk past him, and he reached out to stop him.
“Do you know who number 78 is?
Sheng Yan shook his head, "I don't know."
Although he was Su Xingyao's mentor, he had never gone underground to inquire about these gossips.
However, after hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Beizhou gave Fu Qingyan some useful information.
"I heard from a staff member a few days ago that he seemed to be a songwriter who was popular on the Internet for a while six or seven years ago."
Sheng Yan took over the conversation in surprise, "No wonder fans haven't figured out how to sing even though it's so good. It turns out that you're behind the scenes creating it."
"I'm not sure either." Xu Beizhou smiled, "But the identities of all the contestants will be announced for this performance."
"Then you will know who he is."
