"Xingxing, wake up!"
"Stars, stars?"
When it was time to go to work, Anran went to the top floor as usual to wake up her artists. I rang the doorbell for a long time, but there was no response.
Qi Xingchen was a light sleeper, and every day he would come to open the door for her in a daze after pressing the button once or twice. An Ran became more and more anxious as she waited, afraid that she would be late and miss the filming. She ignored the difference between men and women and quickly took out her key card to swipe the door.
After entering the house, she went straight to the bedroom, and saw a big bulge on the bed. The person she wanted to call had smothered himself under the quilt.
No wonder I couldn't hear it.
An Ran was afraid of scaring λ, so she squatted beside him and called him softly: "Xingxing."
No movement.
"Xingxing, if you don't get up, Director Shang will scold you!"
The other party finally responded: "Hmm..."
No, this voice...seems very hollow.
An Ran sensitively heard some problems, and thought that it was a good thing that Qi Xingchen didn't have the habit of sleeping naked, so she carefully lifted the quilt.
The moment I saw the person under the quilt, I was shocked!
ββQi Xingchen hugged himself and curled up in a ball, his face flushed and lips pale. If you look closely, you can see that her body is trembling slightly, and a large area on the back of her cotton pajamas is soaked with sweat.
An Ran reached out and touched λ's forehead...it was so hot!
I have a fever!
An Ran quickly pushed him, "Xingxing, wake up a little. I'll ask Lao Qin to take you to the hospital."
"...It's okay." Qi Xingchen felt that he might be sick, otherwise he wouldn't be so cold. "Just take some medicine."
"No, you have to get an IV." An Ran pulled out a coat from the closet and wanted to put it on λ.
Qi Xingchen bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain made the dizzy feeling much less severe. She propped herself up with her arms and sat up, saying, "Really, there's no need. Today is all about λ's scenes. Sister An Ran, did you bring a thermometer and antipyretic medicine?"
"I did bring it, but..."
"Please help me get it."
"Oh, you really are..." An Ran was so angry that she jumped up and down, but seeing Qi Xingchen's expression that he couldn't be persuaded at all, she gritted her teeth and went back to her room to get the medicine box.
Her room was on the 14th floor. When she came upstairs, Qi Xingchen had already changed her clothes.
He took the medicine box from her, opened the thermometer skillfully, and put it under his armpit. She took out a cooling patch, put it on her forehead, and gave instructions in an orderly manner: "Sister An Ran, can you please pour me a cup of warm water and a cup of hot water?"
Warm water is used for taking medicine, and hot water is used for sweating. Anran went to the water dispenser to get water as λ said.
Qi Xingchen took advantage of this time to find some cold and fever-reducing medicine. After getting the warm water, he raised his head and swallowed eight pills at once.
After doing all this, λ held the cup and slowly drank the hot water.
After drinking half a cup, the coldness was much relieved. Seeing An Ran frowning and pouting, he joked, "Why worry? Drinking more hot water can cure all diseases. You'll be fine soon."
An Ran burst out laughing at the "drink more hot water" joke, but after laughing, she felt even more pain, "Xingxing, didn't anyone take care of you when you were a child?"
"...Yes," Qi Xingchen paused, "but they prefer to let you be independent, so you learned to take care of yourself at a very young age."
What kind of parents want their children to handle themselves when they are sick? How irresponsible! An Ran was so angry.
But she knew her position. She was Qi Xingchen's assistant and had no right to interfere in other people's family affairs, let alone criticize other people's parents. She frowned and looked unhappy.
"Okay, go get λ another drink." Qi Xingchen coaxed her with a smile.
An Ran went to get some hot water again, and Qi Xingchen took out the thermometer and shook it a few times.
38.5 degrees, itβs okay, a medium temperature, and the fever can be reduced quickly with proper treatment.
After drinking another cup of hot water, my body was almost warm, so I quickly went downstairs to wash up. When An Ran was brought to the set, the rest of the people were already there.
Shang Yuliang was debugging the equipment while saying, "Xiao Qi, you're late today... Ouch, why do you look so bad?"
"I had a nightmare last night," Qi Xingchen lied, "I'll be fine once my makeup is done. I'm going to find a makeup artist now."
Makeup is indeed one of the great magics in Asia. With a little touch-up by the makeup artist, your complexion immediately returns to its previous state. A whole morning of filming passed, and except for the somewhat unsteady steps, all the scenes were perfect.
At noon, in order to express his apologies for being late, he ordered two or three servings of crayfish and salad for the crew. I took a bottle of milk and went back to the nanny car to rest.
After a morning of intense filming, I was almost exhausted. I leaned back in my seat, wanting to relax and take a nap so I could feel more energetic in the afternoon.
As a result, the scene from last night kept replaying in front of my eyes.
"I helped you with the play on the 22nd and stayed there for a while."
"If the media finds out, we won't be able to explain it clearly."
"Luckily you're here."
Fortunately, you are here.
Qi Xingchen couldn't help but sneer, An Ran's analysis was so accurate.
λ came forward to help clarify, and finally λ saved Bai Ye Tao Tao.
The direct sunlight into the eyes was very uncomfortable, so Qi Xingchen grabbed a piece of clothing and covered his head with it.
So...why did Bai Ye go to Tao Tao's place?
Talk about the play to Tao Tao? Tao Tao is a professional actor, so she shouldn't need to be criticized.
Catch up with old friends? It is inconvenient and unsafe to go into the actress' room to reminisce in the middle of the night.
Or as netizens commented, go find Tao Tao... and spend a moment of tenderness?
In fact, after thinking about it, it seems to be the most reasonable to let the top traffic star risk being secretly photographed to enter the female star's room.
And this is not the real world, this is a novel full of Mary Sues. In the novel, Bai Ye and Tao Tao should become closer and closer.
I am the outsider who should not be involved in this.
Thinking of this, Qi Xingchen suddenly felt uncomfortable with his empty stomach. λλ Take off your clothes and wring out the milk.
Before I could drink, [bo sent me a WeChat message]
Looking at the phone interface, Qi Xingchen's fingers unconsciously tightened, and the plastic bottle made a crisp "crunching" sound.
It was not until I felt my legs getting wet that I realized the milk had been squeezed out, and I frantically looked for tissues to wipe my pants.
"Star."
At this time, An Ran got into the car with a paper cup in her hand. "I saw that you didn't eat the crayfish, so I went to the convenience store next door and bought some oden. It's hot now, have some."
"Okay," Qi Xingchen put down the tissue and put his phone aside, "Thank you."
On the other side, Bai Ye, who had just finished filming, frowned when he saw that there was no response to his WeChat message.
These days, the little fan has been getting slower and slower in replying to messages, let alone sending messages on his own initiative.
What went wrong?
The hot oden soup was a great comfort to my empty stomach.
After eating, An Ran took Qi Xingchen's temperature again and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, you're back to normal soon. By the way, Xingxing, how did you get a fever last night?"
I don't know either: "Maybe I didn't cover myself with the quilt properly."
"Next time you get sick, you must call me so you can take medicine early and avoid feeling uncomfortable."
Qi Xingchen hummed, and an idea flashed through his mind.
I am still without an agent. Although Enron has only been in the industry for a short time, he is very meticulous and has a high level of alertness and sensitivity to emergencies. After observation, it seems that he has nothing to do with the plot and is just an unnecessary tool.
This is the best way for you. Otherwise, one of the well-known agents might have a connection with the protagonist and jump out to trick you when the plot requires it. You can't stand it.
λ carefully considered the feasibility of turning An Ran into λ's agent. Soon after, An Ran patted λ on the shoulder, bringing λ back to his senses. "Xingxing, your phone is ringing."
Could it be that Bai Ye saw that λ didn't reply to the message, so λ called to ask.
Qi Xingchen was a little hesitant.
"Xingxing, didn't you hear it?"
"Oh, λ heard it." λ reluctantly picked up the phone.
......It turned out to be a call from the nurse!
The nurse told Tao Xuan that he had woken up. It was lunch time, so Qi Xingchen quickly notified Tao Tao.
Old Qin drove them all the way to the hospital. As soon as they entered the ward, they heard the nurse softly advising Tao Xuan: "If you don't eat, your body will recover slowly, and you will miss a lot of classes."
"Xiao Xuan doesn't want to eat again?" Tao Tao took off her coat and walked quickly to the bedside.
Tao Xuan was leaning against the head of the bed, looking straight ahead, wondering what he was thinking.
Hearing Tao Tao's voice, his sitting posture finally changed and he turned to look at his sister.
"Come on," Tao Tao took the lunch box from the nurse, "Xiao Xuan, didn't we agree that you won't be allowed to be with me during the filming?"
"......yes."
"Then eat your meal, take good care of yourself and get enough nutrition, so that you can have the surgery as soon as you can get a kidney, right?"
Hearing this, Qi Xingchen's heart sank suddenly. The test items in Tao Xuan's physical examination yesterday required 24 hours to get the report, and I didn't see the diagnosis results.
λ guessed that Tao Xuan's disease had entered an active phase, but he did not expect that it had reached the stage where he needed a kidney transplant.
As systemic lupus erythematosus worsens, patients may experience intense hallucinations and suicidal tendencies. Tao Xuan's mental state is very, very unstable right now.
Sure enough, Tao Xuan lowered his head and said, "Sister, I don't want to wait anymore."
"......Xiao Xuan, what are you talking about?" Tao Tao stubbornly scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to her mouth.
"λ said that λ doesn't want to get a kidney anymore."
Tao Tao's arms holding the bowl kept shaking. Qi Xingchen, a stranger, felt uncomfortable hearing this, so one can imagine how much torment she was in at the moment.
It was not convenient for outsiders to be present at this time, so Qi Xingchen called the nurse, and the two of them sat on a bench outside the ward and waited.
Two minutes later, Tao Tao came out with an empty lunch box and said to Qi Xingchen, "Sorry, I made fun of you."
"It's okay, Sister Tao Tao..." Qi Xingchen paused, "Is Tao Xuan in good condition now?"
"Well enough."
"Would it be convenient for you to let λ and λ have a few words?"
Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was going to say and nodded in agreement.
But Qi Xingchen didn't have any expectations.
If before coming here, I hoped that Tao Xuan could clear Qi Jiaze's name, now I think it would be better to change the method as soon as possible.
In order not to irritate Tao Xuan, λ moved a distance and sat down. He leaned forward, keeping an open attitude, "Xiao Xuan, this is Qi Jiaze's brother. We met on the street, do you remember?"
Tao Xuan looked out the window.
"λ is also friends with your sister, so λ asked Jiaze to hang out with you more at school. How are you getting along?"
Tao Xuan was still looking out the window.
Seeing that Tao Xuan didn't care, Qi Xingchen changed his euphemistic way and got straight to the point. "Before you fainted yesterday, Qi Jiaze threw a ball to you. Did you get hurt?"
Tao Xuan finally moved.
He turned his head towards the window, his mouth opening and closing, "You should have used a little more force."
If you use a little more force, it would be great to smash it to death.
Qi Xingchen: "......"
"Xiao Xuan, if you have anything to say, you can come to me or me. I won't disturb you to rest, and work hard to recover."
Qi Xingchen pressed his temple and left the ward directly.
Tao Tao had some filming to do, so she coaxed Tao Xuan to finish his meal and then returned to the crew.
Qi Xingchen walked back alone and opened WeChat on the way, ready to ask about Qi Jiaze's condition.
