Chapter 40: Is the predicted good news?
Xia Lili was confused. "No, I'm fine. I called to tell you the good news."
She keenly noticed that something was wrong with Xia Xubai.
The first thing he asked when he met her was if anything happened.
Xia Lili was suspicious: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You haven't contacted your family recently."
The camera on Xia Xubai's side has been black all the time.
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
Xia Xubai spoke quickly: "Don't worry about me, I'm just a little busy recently."
He turned and asked, "Lili, do you have any good news to tell your brother?"
"I found a suitable job with five social insurances and one housing fund, and I can bring my parents to live in the city."
But Xia Lili no longer had the intention to report the good news. Since so many things had happened in such a short period of time, her intuition about danger had become very sharp.
"Our Lili has grown up and is becoming more and more powerful."
Xia Xubai smiled with satisfaction: "I feel relieved that you are taking care of my parents."
Xia Lili always felt that these words sounded wrong, as if they were a dying entrustment.
She hurriedly said, "Brother, please turn on the camera and let me see you. I haven't seen you for a long time."
Xia Xubai said indifferently: "What's so good about it? I can't see you."
Xia Lili kept asking, "Where are you now? I haven't seen you in so long, I'm a little worried."
Seeing Xia Lili so persistent, Xia Xubai adjusted the camera.
After a while, Xia Xubai's face appeared in the picture.
The background behind him was very dark and he couldn't see clearly where he was.
The faces of the brother and sister appeared on the screen at the same time. Xia Xubai did not look like Xia Lili in terms of facial features.
Xia Lili has round almond-shaped eyes, and her eyes look warm when she looks at people. She has a small and straight nose and smiling lips, and she is pretty and cute.
Xia Xubai was born with a cold face, pale skin, and sharp eyebrows that cast a shadow above his deep eye sockets.
On the screen, his narrow fox eyes were out of focus due to his blindness, his pupils were a very dark black, and there was a light brown teardrop mole at the end of his eyes.
"I'm staying in the rental house, I'm fine."
Xia Xubai in the picture had a hint of helplessness on his face: "Okay, now you see it? You should feel relieved now."
Xia Lili looked at Xia Xubai carefully. It was clearly the end of summer, but Xia Xubai was wearing a black high-necked long-sleeved shirt. The indoor air conditioning must be turned on high.
She remembered that the house her brother lived in before didn't have air conditioning.
Her gaze moved upwards and rested on Xia Xubai's distant fox eyes.
These eyes were just as empty and dim as before due to blindness, which made people feel sad.
Xia Lili was about to look away, but everything in front of her suddenly became blurry.
This feeling, which couldn't be more familiar, made Xia Lili panic.
If nothing unexpected happens, her brother is going to have an accident!
Xia Lili had hallucinations related to Xia Xubai in her mind.
In the hallucination scene, Xia Xubai was holding a mobile phone in his hand.
Most mobile phones nowadays have a blind assistance mode.
Voice reading on the phone is reading the emails on the phone interface.
"Mr. Xia Xubai, congratulations on winning first place in this year's original song competition with your submission, 'Letter from Kirishima,' and receiving a prize of 100,000 yuan. If you are interested in collaborating, please contact our company to discuss the copyright fees for the song..."
"Chaoyin Entertainment comes first."
Xia Lili was stunned when she saw this scene. Isn’t this good news?
My brother had only been learning songwriting and arranging for less than half a year, but his work won first place in the competition, with a prize of 100,000 yuan!
She knew that her brother's musical talent would not be buried!
The next scene of the hallucination.
In the spacious and open high-end conference room, Xia Xubai sat at one end of the conference table, with a tall and thin man standing next to him.
Xia Lili recognized that the man was the owner of the music store her brother knew, Mr. Jiang, and they had a good relationship.
The person sitting opposite Xia Xubai shocked Xia Lili again. It was the popular boy group idol Shangguan Xu!
Shangguan Xu is 23 years old and has millions of fans online. He is handsome and talented, and he won a grand slam of awards in the music industry as soon as he debuted.
Sitting next to Shangguan Xu was a slightly plump woman with a strong aura, who should be his agent.
In the illusion, the two parties are discussing the copyright of the song, and the process is progressing smoothly.
The agent, his brother and Boss Jiang were discussing and arguing with each other, while Shangguan Xu was playing with his mobile phone and puffing smoke from his e-cigarette.
The turning point came after Shangguan Xu spoke.
Shangguan Xu simply said, "You guys chat first, I'm going to go out and have some fun."
My brother's expression suddenly became strange.
He then refused to cooperate with Shangguan Xu's agent, and under Boss Jiang's puzzled look, he pulled Boss Jiang away.
The illusion in Xia Lili's mind jumped to the next scene.
The song didn't sell, so Xia Xubai posted a video of himself singing and playing it online. Unexpectedly, the video became an Internet hit, with over a million likes.
The song has also become the most popular BGM on the note software.
The music program production team also invited Xia Xubai to the show.
However, the reversal came too suddenly.
In the next scene of the hallucination, Xia Xubai was blocked by a group of crazy people downstairs of the rental house, and he was holding a large white bag in his hand.
These people were hurling insults at Xia Xubai like crazy, and some even threw paint on him, saying, "You plagiarist! You plagiarized my brother Xu's song and you refuse to admit it!"
"How can you be so shameless? You deserve to be blinded!"
"How dare an internet celebrity who became famous by plagiarizing other people's songs come and try to scam our talented musician Shangguan Xu?"
"Go to hell if you try to scam my brother!"
…
These people looked like Shangguan Xu's fans. They snatched the blind stick that Xia Xubai used to explore the way and chased Xia Xubai like mad dogs, cursing him.
In order to avoid this group of crazy people, Xia Xubai stumbled up the stairs and fell many times.
However, Shangguan Xu's fans were also waiting at his door upstairs.
In a panic, Xia Xubai ran to the stairs without knowing where to go. This floor was under construction and there was no railing installed.
Xia Xubai, who couldn't see the road, fell from the fifth floor.
He died on the spot.
The last scene of the hallucination was fixed on Xia Xubai falling down the stairs.
He fell in a pool of blood, and the blood dyed the things that fell out of his handbag red. It was a bunch of dolls, including rabbits, foxes, and bears, all of which were dolls of the foreign brand MH.
Xia Lili was stunned when she saw the pile of dolls. She still remembered that when she went to the supermarket with her brother during the winter vacation this year, the shopping guide was promoting this brand of dolls.
The shopping guide introduced that this brand of dolls are not only good-looking, but also filled with lavender flax seeds, which are fragrant and help you sleep, and can also be heated in a microwave.
When girls suffer from menstrual cramps, placing a heating doll pad under their waist can provide much relief.
Xia Lili was very excited when she heard it, so she asked about the price. One that was slightly larger than a palm cost over a hundred yuan.
She gave up when she heard the price.
Xia Lili had forgotten about this until now, but she didn’t expect her brother to have remembered it!
After making some money, he bought her a big bag of them as if they were wholesale. Unfortunately, in his illusion, he never had the chance to give them away.
In the hallucination, Xia Xubai who fell to his death and the doll stained with blood gave Xia Lili a great shock.
