When Minglu returned to the villa, Luo Chi had already woken up.
Today's physical and mental consumption was much greater than usual. Luo Chi didn't have much strength to move at the moment, so he rarely did any rehabilitation. He was chatting in a low voice with Mr. Shadow.
The firelight from the fireplace was warm. Luo Chi leaned on the sofa beside him, covered with a thin blanket, and his complexion seemed to be much better.
Luo Chi could already distinguish his footsteps. When he heard the voice, he raised his head with his eyes bent, “Uncle Lu.”
"Huomiao." Ming Lu handed the information he brought back to Ming Weiting, walked to the sofa and greeted him, "What are you talking about, sir?"
Luo Chi answered quickly: "Mr. Shadow."
Minglu was a little surprised and turned around: "Mr. Liao?"
Ming Weiting met his gaze, showing a rare bit of helplessness, and pressed his brows: "Truth or Dare."
Minglu took out his cell phone and looked up the meaning of these words.
The steward of the Ming family has seen many ups and downs, and at this point he has sincere respect for the learning ability of this generation of the Ming family. He put down his phone and looked at Ming Weiting.
Perhaps because he had been with Luo Chi for a long time, Ming Weiting looked very calm. He just looked at the time, brought the medicine to Luo Chi, and helped Luo Chi hold the water cup steadily.
Luo Chi took a few sips of water from his hand, swallowed the medicine whole, and immediately looked up: "Uncle Lu."
"What's wrong?" Ming Lu was about to ask, but suddenly understood what he meant and stood up, "Wait a minute, Huo Miao, you and the gentleman are playing..."
He was halfway through his words when he met Luo Chi's expectant gaze, and for some reason he couldn't finish the rest of the words.
…
Minglu heard a lot about Luo Chi's past from the young people in Huaisheng Entertainment.
The young Mr. Luo they were talking about was different from the one in other information investigations - they had not discovered anything unusual about Luo Chi for a long time, not entirely because those young people were not careful enough, but also because during the two years at Huaisheng Entertainment, Luo Chi had been trying his best to experience a normal life.
Luo Chi would go drinking with them, go to KTV, pay for them to go to the manor they had been longing for for team building, and also stay up late with them to work overtime, play games, and eat at roadside stalls.
Luo Chi tried hard to play with them, to cheer himself up, to try all the experiences he had never had before, and to see interesting things.
Fang Hang said that they would occasionally find that Luo Chi was easily distracted.
When Luo Chi was having fun playing with them, he would suddenly become distracted. Sometimes he would recover in just a moment, and sometimes he would stand there in a daze for a long time.
Once they worked overtime with Luo Chi until midnight. A group of people were walking and talking under the street lights. After they had walked a long way, they realized that Mr. Luo had been left behind at some point.
Luo Chi stood blankly under the street light. After being patted on the shoulders and shaken by a group of people for a long time, he finally woke up gradually.
Luo Chi came back to his senses and explained to them with a smile that he seemed a little tired recently.
They decided to give Mr. Luo some relief, so they simply took Luo Chi to eat at a food stall. Luo Chi couldn't walk fast no matter what he did. They guessed that Luo Chi was really too tired, so they scrambled to carry him on their backs.
Luo Chi strives to live a normal life and experience all the fun things.
He was just too tired, and in the end he didn't even have the strength to ask others to wait for him.
Luo Chi was carried by them and fell asleep peacefully.
…
Minglu came back to his senses.
Luo Chi was looking at him, his eyes bright: "Uncle Lu."
Ming Weiting was pulled on the shirt by Luo Chi twice. He put down the cup in his hand and walked around to sit next to Luo Chi: "Uncle Lu."
Minglu couldn't help but press his forehead now.
He stood there for a while, looking at Mr. Ming who had turned against him again, and shook his head with a smile.
Minglu sighed helplessly and just sat down.
…The rules of the game are simple.
Put Luo Chi's conch on the tray and spin it. Whoever the tip of the conch points to can ask others to answer the question, otherwise they have to complete a "big adventure".
Originally the participants of the game were only Huo Miao and his lucky fans, but now Ming Lu has also been pulled in, and the direction has been readjusted to three.
The last opportunity to ask questions was Luo Chi's turn. Luo Chi asked Mr. Shadow when he started to chase stars.
Ming Weiting didn't have time to answer.
Ming Lu sat aside. He looked at Ming Weiting and hesitated: "Sir..."
Ming Weiting nodded: "Ten years ago."
Luo Chi was a little surprised and opened his eyes slightly.
Ming Weiting raised his hand and touched Luo Chi's hair.
Since it is truth or dare, according to the rules, he should tell the truth.
He would tell Luo Chi about this sooner or later, but he just hadn't found the right opportunity: "Huo Miao."
He said, “I was here ten years ago.”
Ming Weiting slowly told him: "There is a bonfire party on the shore, and my family's boat is moored at the dock."
The surprise in Luo Chi's eyes gradually turned into understanding. He had a very clear impression of the bonfire party. Many people came to the beach that night, and a cruise ship could indeed be vaguely seen in the distance in the night.
"I saw you playing the guitar." Ming Weiting continued, "I've always remembered it."
Luo Chi clenched his right hand lightly and took a breath.
Ming Lu was sitting nearby. He knew that he shouldn't interrupt Ming Weiting, but he couldn't help but continue the conversation: "Fire."
Luo Chi's eyes lit up as he listened. He blinked once, then turned around and looked at Ming Lu seriously.
"I'm sorry." Minglu walked to the sofa, "We should have come to pick you up earlier."
Ming Lu looked at Luo Chi: "We don't know..." He said halfway, but just looked at Luo Chi and explained, "Mr. is very upset about this matter."
There is no one in the Ming family who would chase stars.
Not to mention the programs, public opinions, and online trends, even the work of an artist was something Ming Lu only understood after Ming Weiting decided to start learning how to be a fan these days.
Ten years ago, the previous generation of the Ming family was still alive, and Ming Lu was not with Ming Weiting, so he did not see the bonfire party and Luo Chi playing the guitar.
No one in the Ming family would be a fan of celebrities. When Mr. Shangdai heard that Ming Weiting liked a young man who played guitar on the beach, he almost asked Ming Lu to name a price and hire the man to be a musician on the cruise ship.
On the day the cruise ship docked, Ming Weiting was unable to wait for Luo Chi to board the ship.
The beach where Luo Chi was found was very close to the bonfire party. Luo Chi was lying quietly on the beach, cold and silent, and did not respond to the people in front of him or the outstretched hands.
"I thought." Ming Weiting watched the ship's doctor examining Luo Chi. The doctor needed someone to communicate with Luo Chi, so he walked over and held Luo Chi's hand.
Ming Weiting held Luo Chi's hand. He looked into Luo Chi's slightly opened, confused eyes and said, "I thought he was free."
They don't know Luo Chi's work, nor do they know Luo Chi's family. After all, the Luo family's circle is too far away. Those gossips about Luo Chi's life experience can spread everywhere in the circle, but there is no way to cross the ocean and be sent to the cruise ship far away.
The fire is always bright.
Until it used itself as fuel and was finally exhausted and extinguished completely, the fire was so bright that people thought he was free.
…
Ming Lu recalled his experience at Huaisheng Entertainment today. He didn’t know how to explain it to Luo Chi, so he stepped back and turned to look at Ming Weiting.
"Uncle Lu," Ming Weiting said, "I'm not prepared to explain."
Minglu was stunned: "Sir?"
Ming Weiting shook his head slightly, half squatted down, and looked into Luo Chi's eyes: "Flame."
He wasn't prepared to make excuses for it.
A mistake is a mistake. No matter how many coincidences, unexpected events, or how late they are, they are meaningless.
He should have gotten off the ship that day. Even if he didn't, he should have found an opportunity to consult with the passengers on the cruise ship later on how to be a good fan and how to chase stars.
Since he wanted to be a fan of Luo Chi, he should have found out Luo Chi's identity and experience long ago.
He shouldn't take it for granted that the fire was completely free just because it was so hot and bright. It shouldn't be subject to any unnecessary constraints and shouldn't be trapped in the small space of a cruise ship.
"I'm sorry." Ming Weiting whispered, "How can there be such a bad fan like me?"
Luo Chi hadn't come to his senses yet. He was still waiting for Ming Weiting to praise his guitar playing. He finally understood the new words and blinked.
Luo Chi shook his head little by little.
To him, this logic was a bit complicated. It took Luo Chi some time to catch up: "No."
"No." Luo Chi said slowly, "Mr. Shadow."
Ming Weiting raised his head and met his eyes.
Luo Chi's eyes reflected him: "You are my fan."
Ming Weiting understood what he meant and nodded: "I am your fan, I am chasing you——"
Luo Chi already remembered it very well, so he took over and finished the conversation for him: "The stars."
He looked at Ming Weiting and pursed his lips slightly: "Ten years ago..."
"Ten years ago." Luo Chi clenched his fist nervously, "Am I cool?"
Ming Weiting was slightly stunned.
He had hardly thought that this would become a question, so he was stunned by the question for a brief half second, then he immediately came to his senses and nodded without hesitation.
"Very cool, you'll never forget it after seeing it once." Ming Weiting raised his hand and touched his earlobe. "I was thinking on the boat, how could there be such a cool person."
Luo Chi was obviously relieved. He narrowed his eyes and nodded vigorously: "That's it."
"We are separated by the sea." Luo Chi said, "The stars must be bright enough."
He suddenly turned back to look for it, but found nothing. His expression gradually became confused.
Ming Weiting supported him and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Remote control." Luo Chi whispered, "I remember there is a projector here..."
He remembered that there was a super large screen in the living room with a projector, which was almost like watching a movie, and he hid a lot of videotapes in it.
Luo Chi was supported by Ming Weiting. He turned around and looked around carefully, and then he found the familiar remote control in the gap between the sofa.
Minglu breathed a sigh of relief and retreated without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, the projection and videotapes were not cleaned, so they replaced the screen, but time was tight and they did not have time to check the contents of the videotapes.
Ming Weiting followed Luo Chi's instructions, found a videotape with a number on it, installed it, and adjusted the screen and projector: "What is it?"
Luo Chi's ears turned a little red and he pursed his lips hard.
Ming Weiting didn't wait for his answer, took the remote control and tried to press the play button.
The beam of light suddenly lit up and shone brightly on the screen.
Ming Weiting had already reviewed all the programs Luo Chi had participated in, and recognized which episode it was at a glance. He turned around and was about to speak, but then he noticed something different: "The picture is different."
Luo Chi nodded: "It's the master tape."
Ming Weiting put down the remote control and sat next to him.
He sat next to Luo Chi and watched with him the most authentic and complete live video without any malicious editing or ill-intentioned audio editing.
…
Luo Chi was only twenty years old at that time - or maybe not even twenty years old.
Anyway, he hasn't celebrated his birthday in many years. When he is not acting as Mr. Luo, he changes his shirt and tie into a simple T-shirt, holds a guitar, and looks even younger than his actual age.
The audience pool was almost pitch black, as was the stage. Luo Chi jumped onto the stage holding the guitar and jumped into the only beam of light.
The tune that flowed from his guitar had an almost bizarre softness and brightness. The background music was very simple, without any extra accompaniment, and the only harmonies were the sea breeze and the surge of the tide.
After the prelude, the music quickly became lively and enthusiastic. It was a kind of intense, scorching heat that made it almost breathless, and the heat poured into the chest unhindered, like extremely gorgeous fireworks blooming simultaneously in the night sky and on the sea.
The dark auditorium was lit up with star-shaped lights that indicated the score, and in the blink of an eye, it became a sea of light. People kept the rhythm with their applause, and some waved and clapped at him vigorously.
…
Luo Chi's eyes sparkled. He turned around and spoke subconsciously: "Auntie——"
His shoulders suddenly calmed, his chest rose and fell slowly, and his fingers curled up little by little.
Ming Weiting was watching the images intently. He noticed something was wrong with Luo Chi and turned to ask softly, "What's wrong?"
Luo Chi shook his head slightly.
He seemed to have realized something, blinked twice, and then bent his eyes again.
Luo Chi slowly spoke: "Mr. Shadow."
Ming Weiting had already walked over to the sofa, half squatted down, and looked at him intently.
…
It was Luo Chi’s first time participating in the show. He wanted to jump down with his guitar in his arms, but was hurriedly stopped by the director on the scene.
Luo Chi stopped at the edge of the stage, only a few meters away from those smiles and outstretched hands that were so close to him.
He held his guitar, panting slightly due to the great physical exertion, and looked at everything in front of him with curiosity and concentration.
…
"Wait for me." Luo Chi said softly.
Luo Chi's voice was very soft, and it was unclear to whom he was solemnly promising: "I'll show you how cool it is."
