Chapter 74
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Qiong accompanied the crew to promote the film every day from early morning to late at night, and her popularity gradually accumulated. Although it wasn't much, her Weibo account wasn't full of zombie followers like before.
After a day of running around, Lin Qiong sat in the hotel lobby looking at the schedule for the next promotional event, which was near his home.
Financial news was playing on the large multimedia screen in the hotel lobby.
Lin Qiong didn't understand those things and didn't care, but she looked up when she heard the news about the "Fu family".
The female host on the screen was well-dressed and had a refined appearance. "According to recent stock fluctuations, Fu's stock has been low for two consecutive months without any increase. A real estate project was terminated midway and it is unknown whether it will be resumed. The losses are incalculable."
After listening carefully, Lin Qiong came to the conclusion that the Fu family had lost money.
Wang Cheng walked over and looked at the person, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Qiong held up her schedule, "I'll be able to go home in a few days."
Wang Cheng glanced at it and realized it was true.
"Go back to see your old baby."
Lin Qiong nodded. "One of them."
"Anything else?"
"A jacuzzi."
"..."
Looking at the itinerary, Wang Cheng said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and the publicity team said that after the next publicity event, we can have two days off before heading to the next stop."
Lin Qiong's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, "Really?"
Wang Cheng nodded.
Because Lin Qiong wasn't sure which day she would return, she didn't tell Fu Xingyun the news.
After spending a few more days in the city, I finally took a plane to my next destination.
Lin Qiong didn't check into the hotel this time, and the muscular photographer asked curiously, "Brother, why aren't you checking in?"
Lin Qiong smiled broadly, "I'm going home."
The muscular photographer was startled. "You own a house here?"
Land in these big cities is incredibly valuable, and housing prices in first-tier cities are immeasurably high.
Lin Qiong nodded. "I guess so."
The muscular photographer tentatively asked, "Rented?"
Lin Qiong shook her head. "They have household registration."
"!!!"
Lin Qiong was about to send a message to someone to tell them he was back when he heard the muscular photographer say quietly from the side, "Brother, if you weren't the same type as me, I would definitely want you."
Lin Qiong: ? ? ?
How did they end up with the same model?
The muscular photographer continued, "I wonder how much longer I'll have to endure these lonely and miserable days."
"..."
Ultimately, due to the tight schedule of the event, the message was never sent out.
Fortunately, the event ended in the afternoon, giving Lin Qiong plenty of time to go home.
First, I packed my luggage, then got into that familiar little van and creaked my way home.
Lin Qiong gently pressed the combination lock, thinking that she could give people a surprise.
After changing his shoes, he tiptoed like a thief, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one on the first floor. Then he took the elevator up to the third floor.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, I bumped into a nurse who was tidying up her things.
The two locked eyes, and the nurse's eyes widened instantly as if she had seen a ghost.
"Forest……"
Lin Qiong quickly stepped forward and covered the other person's mouth, then put a finger to her own lips, "Shh, I want to give Xingyun a surprise."
The nurse, whose mouth was covered, looked into Lin Qiong's eyes and nodded. Only then did Lin Qiong release her hand.
No sooner had her hand left than the nurse, with a powerful shout emanating from her dantian, cried out, "Mr. Lin, you're back!!!"
Lin Qiong: ...
What's the meaning?
That sound could linger for three days, and it could probably be heard throughout the entire villa, not just the third floor.
As soon as the other person shouted, a series of sounds suddenly came from the study, followed by disordered footsteps and a thud.
Lin Qiong was about to walk over when the nurse grabbed him, "Mr. Lin!"
Lin Qiong turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
"It's been...it's been a long time." The nurse tried to make conversation. "You look like you've gained some weight."
Lin Qiong looked at herself. "Really? I'm alright."
He was about to go to the study when the noise inside continued.
Nurse: "Mr. Lin, are you going to go in?!"
The two men, still searching for wheelchairs in the study, had a light sheen of sweat on their foreheads.
When Lin Qiong entered the study, she saw Fu Xingyun sitting in a wheelchair reading a book.
"Xingyun, I'm back!"
Lin Qiong spoke, and only then did the man look up at the person who had walked to his side.
After a month apart, Fu Xingyun carefully observed the other person and found that there was no change, but the emotions in his chest seemed to be about to burst out.
When did you get back?
Lin Qiong pointed to the suitcase placed by the door, "Just now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qiong seemed to realize something was wrong, "Xingyun, you..."
Fu Xingyun swallowed hard, his gaze unconsciously drifting to the hidden cane and crutch. He asked, "What's wrong?"
The doctor moved over there, covering up the parts that weren't hidden.
Lin Qiong's eyes shone brightly, "You..."
Fu Xingyun unconsciously took a deep breath.
"You've flipped the book over."
Fu Xingyun: ...
The man then took the book and said curtly, "Thank you."
Lin Qiong smiled and patted the person on the shoulder, "You're welcome."
He then turned around and prepared to go back to his room to put away his luggage.
His back view concealed his merits and fame.
Seeing that the person had left the study, the doctor hurriedly moved the cane that hadn't been properly hidden to a different position.
Fu Xingyun said, "You should go back first today."
The doctor nodded and, without asking any further questions, packed his things to leave. Lin Qiong came out of the room and bumped into him, so she politely asked, "Are you going back?"
The doctor nodded.
Lin Qiong: "Thank you for your help during this time."
The doctor smiled and said, "No trouble at all, Mr. Lin. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."
It was as if the other party was some kind of monstrous flood that they wanted to avoid at all costs.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qiong quickly asked, "How is Xingyun recovering lately?"
The doctor's smile froze, then he shook his head, his voice heavy, "We did our best."
Lin Qiong's eyebrows drooped as she looked at him. "It's okay, just keep trying."
Watching the doctor's retreating figure, Lin Qiong's little mind raced. According to the plot of the book, Fu Xingyun's leg should have recovered by now, but she didn't know why it hadn't improved yet.
Lin Qiong then looked at the study. If it wasn't restored, it wasn't restored. He wouldn't lose his life if the other party didn't restore it or divorce him.
After thinking it through, Lin Qiong fluttered into the study like a butterfly, asking, "Xingyun, how have you been this past month?"
Fu Xingyun said calmly, "It's alright."
I miss you so much I can't eat or sleep.
Seeing that the person remained silent, Lin Qiong asked, "You don't believe me?"
"I believe you." The man's voice was flat and emotionless. Looking at the man's noticeably fuller face, Fu Xingyun couldn't help but reach out and pinch it. "You've gained weight."
Lin Qiong: "I miss you so much."
"From sleeplessness to weight gain?"
Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "It triggered a rebound."
"..."
Even though he knew the other person was most likely lying to him, Fu Xingyun still loved to listen.
"Is the work finished?"
Lin Qiong took a yellowish-brown pear from the fruit plate next to her. "No, but I can rest for a few days."
I opened my mouth and took a bite of the pear, and found it to be quite sweet.
She would raise her hand to feed people, a habit she had developed over the past six months. Whenever Lin Qiong ate something she liked, she would share it with Fu Xingyun.
At first, the man was very resistant, but he eventually accepted it.
Lin Qiong usually picks a part of the bite she hasn't taken a bite of herself to give to others to try, but she forgot this time.
Fu Xingyun was about to open his mouth when he saw the spot where someone had bitten him, but the pear in front of him was suddenly taken away.
Fu Xingyun asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lin Qiong took another bite, then said with a stern face, "I forgot that pears shouldn't be shared; that's not good."
Fu Xingyun: "It's just superstition."
Lin Qiong reached out her hand again, "Then will you eat?"
Fu Xingyun: "..."
They may talk about superstitions and rumors, but their actions tell a different story.
The man ultimately didn't eat the pear.
The next day, when Lin Qiong returned from work, Fu Xingyun looked at her and asked, "Do you have work tomorrow?"
Lin Qiong shook her head. "No, the production team gave us three days off, and we have nothing to do during these three days."
Fu Xingyun nodded after hearing this, "Come with me on a trip tomorrow."
It was rare for the other party to offer to go out, so Lin Qiong's eyes lit up. "Where to?"
"Charity auction".
Lin Qiong's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, as the book described this charity auction.
The villain, who had recovered somewhat despite the psychological pressure, met the protagonist at the auction, and his infatuation with him became uncontrollable.
The protagonist also showed care and encouragement to the villain during his rehabilitation, bringing a touch of warmth to this indifferent world.
Seeing that the other party hadn't replied for a long time, Fu Xingyun asked, "Don't you want to go?"
Lin Qiong's expression was somewhat unnatural, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. "It's nothing, I just want to go."
Although I said I wanted to go, I had no expectations at all.
The protagonist will bring warmth and affection to the villain after getting to know him.
The book describes an emotion that Fu Xingyun had never experienced before, like a ray of light breaking through the darkness, at the intersection of dawn and night. After tasting this emotion, the man became uncontrollably immersed in it, like a wild beast that gave up struggling, like prey trapped in a swamp.
Lin Qiong pursed her lips, then unconsciously glanced at Fu Xingyun. This big block of ice would just melt if it were warmed up, which was not good for her health at all.
Seeing that the person didn't look happy, Fu Xingyun coughed, "If you don't want to go..."
"Go! Of course I'll go!" Lin Qiong replied firmly. He also wanted to see what kind of tiny solar energy the other party was that could melt the Arctic glacier.
The charity event was held in the evening, so Lin Qiong ate something beforehand to avoid getting hungry. Afterwards, she carefully selected a suit in front of the wardrobe.
Fu Xingyun waited at the door, raising an eyebrow as he saw Lin Qiong come out. "Are you going to get married?"
Lin Qiong was startled. "You can't say that."
Fu Xingyun: ?
Lin Qiong said seriously, "Bigamy is illegal."
"..."
Then he glanced at Fu Xingyun from left to right and asked, "Are you wearing long johns?"
The man was taken aback.
Seeing that the man didn't answer, Lin Qiong knew that he wasn't wearing any clothes.
He then quickly returned to the room and pulled out a set of thermal underwear, saying, "Put these on."
Fu Xingyun: "..."
Finally, the man was forced to put it on before he left the house.
I even went to pick up Qin Heng halfway there.
As soon as Qin Heng got into the car, he noticed that Fu Xingyun's suit jacket hem wasn't tucked in properly. "Damn it, Fu, are you wearing long johns?"
Fu Xingyun's body stiffened.
Qin Heng stared in disbelief, then burst into loud laughter.
"Damn, you actually wear this kind of thing, hahahahaha."
Seeing the other person laughing, Lin Qiong sternly retorted to her husband, "What do you know? These are necessities!"
Then Lin Qiong leaned close to the man's ear and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. You look the coolest when you tuck your thermal underwear into your long johns."
Fu Xingyun: ...
