This dream lasted an extremely long time, seemingly as long as a lifetime. Li Changsi's last memory was the blood-red sky engulfing his snow-white sleeves, and then he fell into the darkness of eternal life.
She slept in the darkness for who knows how many years, until a beam of blazing light shone into the darkness, and her lost five senses and fresh breath rushed in, returning her to the world.
"She has some concussion. We don't know the extent of the impact yet. We can only wait for her to wake up."
"The time of her awakening is uncertain. Logically, she should have woken up a long time ago."
"Mr. Lu, you'd better go and rest. Let someone else take care of the night..."
Her eyelashes trembled and she fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was late at night and everything was silent. Li Changsi opened her heavy eyelids and saw the person lying in front of the bed. He had the same handsome and cold face, but his eyes were dark blue from staying up late. She moved a little and he woke up.
"Long thought?"
Lu Qi's face was even paler than hers. He reached out and touched her forehead, then smiled and said hoarsely, "I'm glad you're awake. You've been in a coma for three days."
She looked around and found herself in a hospital ward. So he had been guarding her for three days and three nights?
She tried to open her mouth, but her throat was hoarse and painful, and she couldn't utter a word.
"Don't talk. You had signs of fever before, and your throat hurts. I'll pour you some hot water." Lu Qi poured hot water, tested the temperature, then helped her up, let her sit on him, and fed her some water.
After drinking the warm water, Li Changsi regained most of his strength. Soon the doctor came over, examined him, prescribed medicine, and changed the IV. After a lot of trouble, he finally calmed down. It was already dawn outside.
"Sleep a little longer?" the man asked in a low voice, his eyes worried.
"I'm fine." Li Changsi blinked. The crew had protective measures for the wire suspension. When she fell, she fell on the protective pad. Su Xia and the security personnel also pulled her in time. It was just that her head accidentally hit the filming machine, which caused her to fall into a coma.
If it weren't for this accident, she wouldn't have known that she had forgotten such an important memory. It turned out that a hundred days after her death, she had been following Lan Jingxing, and witnessed him slaughtering thousands of people, destroying himself and others, and even buried himself in Guoyun Mountain.
Finally, when all the blood has been shed, the blood sacrifice is complete.
Li Changsi's eyes moistened slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Dongxue Ri, are your joints still hurting?"
The old illness he was born with was left over from that time.
Lu Qi was slightly stunned, and after a long while he said in a low voice: "It doesn't hurt. You scared me, Changsi."
Li Changsi raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and she could see that he looked worse than her.
"I had a very long dream, and you scared me in the dream. In the dream, we were both dead."
Lu Qijun's face darkened slightly. He reached out to hug her and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't mention that word."
He couldn't bear it.
Li Changsi smelled the familiar scent on him, closed her eyes and said nothing more, and the two of them snuggled up to each other.
The next morning, Su Xia and Song Mao came to report. They were relieved to see her wake up. Even Qiubi rushed to the film and television city, as well as Wei Zhenxi who was called urgently.
"You can be discharged from the hospital as soon as you wake up. He fell from such a height and is unharmed except for a slight concussion. I have to say, this guy in your family is really lucky." Wei Zhenxi was secretly surprised. It was a pity that he had taken leave for three consecutive days and was almost becoming their Lu family's personal doctor.
"Doctor Wei, this is called good deeds will be rewarded, and the blessed will have a long life. Our parents have not done so many good deeds in vain." Qiubi muttered to himself, and then bowed to the gods of the four directions.
Su Xia: "Sister Si, the news of you falling and being unconscious has been trending on the Internet for a few days. Now your fans are praying for you, and the crew has also stopped working, waiting for news of your recovery. Do you want to post a Weibo to let us know you're safe?"
The crew couldn't hide such a big thing, not to mention that Li Changsi has so many fans. It became a hot topic on the same day and has been on the hot search list ever since.
Li Changsi nodded and posted a Weibo to report that she was safe. Her fall and coma became a hot topic on the Internet, and people sent messages to her on her phone asking about her. Unknowingly, in the past six months, she had gained a group of friends.
After posting on Weibo, she posted another circle of friends.
On the other side, Lu Qi finally had time to deal with this unexpected incident.
"We have already found out that the wire accident was man-made. It was done by Wen Ting, the third female lead in the crew. She was the mastermind, and the one who carried it out was her gigolo..." Song Mao reported the results of the investigation.
Wen Ting has been jealous of Li Changsi for a long time. Seeing that other people in the crew had connections and dared not touch her, she turned her attention to Li Changsi. First, she was jealous of her beauty. Second, she was jealous that she got the role she had always wanted. Third, she was probably just not smart enough. So she cried to the sponsor while complaining to her lover. The two of them planned to create an accident. As long as Li Changsi accidentally fell and was unable to continue to participate in the performance, she would whisper in the sponsor's ear. If the crew couldn't find a rescuer in a short time, they might really use her.
People are really stupid and their minds are really vicious.
"We have interrogated him, and he confessed everything. We have handed over the people and evidence to the police." Song Mao said, not daring to breathe. After the incident, they controlled the people in the theater and checked them one by one. They soon found out the truth, but the master had not been in the mood to deal with it in the past few days, so it was delayed until now.
Those two will probably spend the rest of their lives in jail. As for the financial backer behind Wen Ting, he is not a good person either. He has committed a lot of crimes and has been handed over to the police.
"I'm sorry, sir. It's my fault." Su Xia lowered her head, feeling extremely guilty. This happened right under their noses, and it almost caused Miss Changsi to be injured. They were also responsible.
Lu Qijun's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Where are the others?"
Song Mao: "We've checked it out, and there's nothing wrong. This happened because you and Miss Changsi were too low-key. Sir, why don't you spread some rumors? You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."
Lu Qi pondered. He always liked to keep a low profile and didn't like to get involved in the world of fame and fortune. However, Chang Si was in the entertainment industry, and sometimes being too low-key would make people think he was easy to bully.
"Please arrange this year's Spring Dusk Charity Dinner. I will attend."
"yes."
Song Mao and Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their master had become gentler since he had been with Li Changsi. If such a big mistake had happened in the past, they would have been exiled to Antarctica long ago.
"This won't happen again."
The two men's skin tightened and they responded in low voices.
When Li Changsi woke up, he found that except for feeling a little dizzy, his limbs were intact and there was nothing wrong with him. He completed the discharge procedures at noon and returned to the hotel suite to rest.
The crew was relieved to learn that she had woken up. They wanted to come over to visit her, but were turned away one by one.
The crew has been going through a torment these past few days. First, they faced enormous pressure from public opinion, then they had to accept police investigation, and finally they learned that the leading actress who had no backing was the one with the strongest backing. The entire crew was in despair.
Fortunately, Li Changsi woke up, otherwise the entire project would have to be stopped.
Li Changsi rested for three days and felt that he was fine, so he went back to the crew to continue filming. On the day he returned to the crew to film, the police issued a notice that Weng Ting and her lover were facing prosecution for intentional injury, and the financial backer behind the scenes was also imprisoned for involvement in multiple criminal incidents. The group was directly declared bankrupt.
This incident also caused quite a stir in the circle. There were endless incidents of people falling off horses, falling into water, and accidents while hanging on wires. Many people's accidents were suppressed quietly. Even if they were exposed, it would not be a big deal if the mastermind, the little celebrity, was exposed. This time, even the financial backers behind the little celebrity were directly investigated and dealt with.
It took less than a week and was done with great vigour and efficiency.
Everyone in the industry has sensed a new direction. Li Changsi is not to be trifled with! He already has a good reputation and strong skills, and has been singled out for praise by the higher-ups. Now it seems that he has a strong background.
A word suddenly spread quietly in the circle: Don’t mess with Li Changsi.
Li Changsi only found out about this after filming was over. Her part had finished filming earlier than expected, in mid-May, and she went straight back to Jingcheng. Then, remembering that she hadn't used her phone in a few months, she left a message in the group chat.
Lin Lushen: Sister, have you returned to Jingcheng?
Li Changsi: Just came back this afternoon.
Lu Qi had been staying with her in the film and television city for the past few months, so after he came back, she was taken to the mountaintop manor. At this moment, she was lazily stroking the little marshmallow and playing with her mobile phone on the sofa.
Lu Qi was whispering to the housekeeper to prepare dinner.
Tian Ye: @李长思, you finally showed up, but disappeared as soon as you started filming. Now you are being demonized. People say you have a powerful background, and I am trembling with fear. If I hadn’t known you for so long, I would have believed it!
Song Xingyue: It's not true? Changsi, does your boyfriend have a powerful background?
Tian Ye: Brother Lu? Impossible. Besides being smart, handsome, and cool, Brother Lu doesn't look like a rich second-generation kid at all. @Bai Zhuo, bro, is there anyone like Brother Lu in your circle?
Bai Zhuo: Never heard of it.
Bai Zhuo somehow thought of someone and then laughed. How could it be possible?
Li Changsi: It may be a rumor, don’t take it seriously.
Song Xingyue: Why don’t you ask your boyfriend? If you get married in the future, you should also find out about his assets.
"Lu Qi, how are Lu's assets?"
Lu Qi pondered for a few seconds and said, "It's just so-so."
Although he is rich enough to rival a country, the Lu family's ancestral teachings teach that one should be low-key.
Li Changsi typed leisurely: He said his assets are average.
Everyone in the group was extremely disappointed, it turned out to be all rumors.
Lin Lushen: Sister, after you return to Jingcheng, you should rest for a long time, right?
Li Changsi: Well, I’m preparing for the exam, and then I’ll attend an endorsement event. I’ll talk about it in the second half of the year.
She originally wanted to take on another role, but Lu Qi was still traumatized by the wire-hanging incident and was watching him closely. Moreover, she had been busy filming and studying for the past few months and had neglected him. She really needed some time to rest and coax him.
Tian Ye: I’m excited. Let’s play mahjong again someday. I didn’t have enough fun last time.
Li Changsi: Okay, I'll stay at Lu Qi's place for the time being, you can come and visit me anytime.
Tian Ye: Let’s make an appointment for the weekend. Come out soon!
Rong Shu: There is a late spring charity dinner this weekend. A prestigious elder in the clan said that a big shot will be attending this time, so I may not be able to come.
Bai Zhuo: @Rongshu, are you going to the charity dinner too?
The charity dinner in late spring was grander and more sensational than ever before. It was heard that the head of the Lu family of this generation would show up. This was his first public appearance, and tickets for the charity dinner were hard to come by. Even his grandfather was alarmed. The items auctioned at this dinner would surely be the best in fifty years.
As a result, the threshold for admission to this year's charity dinner has also risen, and only ordinary wealthy families can attend.
Rong Shu: My elders took me to see the world.
Xuan Yiyi: You guys are actually going to the late spring charity dinner. Only top wealthy families can go this year!
Tian Ye: I’m just asking, are you guys still in need of some thigh pendants?
…
"Changsi, come and have dinner."
Li Changsi went to wash his hands and eat, and immediately put the matter aside.
They had dinner early, finishing it at around five o'clock. Li Changsi couldn't sleep at this time, and saw that the jacaranda trees on the boulevard in front of the manor had bloomed early, with purple flowers blooming all over the tree, which was beautiful. So he picked up a book and took Little Marshmallow for a walk.
She sat on a bench under a tree and read a book. Little Marshmallow jumped around and played with the purple fallen flowers on the ground. Soon he was covered in dust and tried to rub against her arms, but before he could do so, Lu Qi threw him away with an unhappy look on his face.
"Uncle Lu, take it back and wash it before you can enter."
"Yes, sir."
The butler's mouth almost reached his ears from laughing. The master had been away for several months, and when he came back with Miss Changsi, the little marshmallows were so happy that they went crazy. From then on, the mountaintop manor was lively again.
The housekeeper took the Bichon Frise back to take a bath.
Lu Qi looked at Li Changsi, who was either playing with dumplings or reading books as soon as she came back. He sighed softly, pressed her book with his slender fingers, and said in a low voice: "Changsi, you haven't talked to me properly since you came back."
Li Changsi looked up in surprise. He was very busy as soon as he came back! Before, in the film and television city, the two of them always got along like this without interfering with each other. She was filming and reading, and he was busy with his own career. But at night they would always hug each other to sleep.
However, there are always two days a week when she is late, but this is already very restrained for Lu Qi.
"Are you done?"
"Um."
Li Changsi saw that his handsome face was gloomy, with an expression that looked like he was asking if I was happy or not. He was like a little marshmallow asking for caress. She narrowed her eyes immediately and kissed him with a smile: "Then let's go home."
Home? That word had a certain warmth to it. Lu Qi's eyes darkened slightly as he pushed her back onto the bench, cupped her little face, and kissed her deeply.
After filming, at least her time belonged to him during this period.
Li Changsi's eyes were filled with spring waves after being kissed by him, and then he pulled her back to the bedroom.
