Chapter 54 Chapter 54
Xiao Qinghe and Zhao Jie arrived soon and took Jiang Bai to a private hospital. The doctor used the best cosmetic thread, but there was no guarantee that there would be no scars.
He Xianyu's left hand was scratched and he also received treatment here.
It was late at night. The four people from 301 got into Xiao Qinghe's RV again.
When the variety show just started recording, the four of them went out to eat hot pot in Xiao Qinghe's RV. They were very excited at that time.
Now, none of them spoke. Everyone looked listless, as if they had lost their vitality.
Xiao Qinghe simply brought all four of them back to the Xiao family.
The nanny prepared a sumptuous dinner, but the four of them had no appetite. They came to He Xianyu's room and threw their bodies heavily onto the sofa.
He Xianyu pushed away Gu Zeye's long legs that were resting on him and asked the question in his mind: "Gu Er, why are you and Jing Chen in the tea room?"
Gu Zeye panicked instantly, and awkwardly avoided looking into He Xianyu's eyes, then started to complain: "You and Jiang Bai got into such a big trouble, and you didn't even call me. Don't you consider me a friend?"
He Xianyu was often speechless at Gu Zeye's shamelessness and he looked at Jing Chen.
"Ze Ye and I thought you two were secretly out having fun." Jing Chen lowered his head in shame. After all, his and Gu Ze Ye's behavior was tantamount to illegitimate children.
Jiang Bai has been very quiet since he came out of the hospital. Although he used to be quiet, his eyes were clear. But now, there is no light in his eyes, and he is as dull as a lifeless rag doll.
He Xianyu was very worried and asked softly, "Jiang Bai, does it still hurt?"
Jiang Bai slowly turned his head and looked at the young man beside him for a long time, and then his eyes slowly began to light up. He picked up He Xianyu's bandaged left hand, and his movements were extremely gentle and careful. It was as if he was holding not He Xianyu's hand, but the most fragile treasure in the world.
"Does it still hurt?" In this nightmarish night, the only thing Jiang Bai was thankful for was that he did not hurt He Xianyu's right hand, otherwise he would not be able to apologize even if he died a thousand times.
They say the fingers are connected to the heart. Jiang Bai thought, it must be very painful.
He didn't shed tears even when he was forced by the powerful. But now, looking at He Xianyu's injured hand, Jiang Bai felt like crying.
Boom boom boom——
Xiao Qinghe knocked on the door and asked He Xianyu to come out.
He Xianyu followed Xiao Qinghe to the room opposite and explained the whole story in detail.
"Brother, what on earth was Jiang Bai thinking at that time? He is an artist, an idol, how could he have the heart to do that?" He Xianyu couldn't understand.
"Jiang Bai is a proud man. He would rather destroy himself than submit to others." Xiao Qinghe was very worried.
He knows Li Cheng too well.
Jiang Bai's character of preferring to break rather than bend has a fatal attraction to Li Cheng.
I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve.
He Xianyu lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes cast a fluffy shadow under his eyelids. His voice was low and hoarse, revealing an uncontrollable sadness: "I thought I was pretty awesome. But in fact, without your protection, my situation might not be much better than Jiang Bai's."
Xiao Qinghe didn't want to admit that He Xianyu was right. With He Xianyu's pretty face, if he hadn't been backed by the Xiao family, he would have been put on the table and become a toy with a clear price tag on it.
It is a tragedy to have beauty but not have the ability to protect it.
Isn’t this the cruelty of the entertainment industry?
He Xianyu looked at the bandage wrapped around his left hand and said, "Do you think I have no real ability and am just a useless person relying on my stepfather and stepbrother?"
He Xianyu has always lived with pride and confidence since he was a child. His academic performance is so good that he can win the top prize in the city. He has passed the amateur level 10 piano test, plays the guitar well, and was the lead singer of a band for a period of time.
He thought he was pretty good, but someone told him that he was not.
The boy's self-esteem was trampled underfoot and trampled on.
Xiao Qinghe had never seen He Xianyu so depressed before. He felt as if a needle was stabbing his heart, and a slight tingling pain arose. He took out his cell phone and made a call.
The other party had probably been waiting for this call and answered it immediately.
"Li Cheng, are you having hysterics again? My students are about to take the college entrance exams. At such an important time, are you still messing with their mentality? Also," Xiao Qinghe took a deep breath, as if he was on the verge of rage, but also seemed to be restraining his anger, "How did my uncle ask you to take care of Xianyu when he got married! He only has this one son. If you don't respect his son, you don't respect him! Li Cheng, when your father almost went to jail, who ran around to get him out? Is this how you repay my uncle now?"
Li Cheng, who had used his power to bully others not long ago, could only apologize obediently in front of Xiao Qinghe: "I'm sorry."
"I don't care whether you want to find ten or a hundred stand-ins, don't appear in front of my students before the college entrance examination. Otherwise, our brotherhood of more than 20 years will be gone." Xiao Qinghe hung up the phone directly.
His child had suffered a great injustice outside, so as an elder brother, he naturally had to stand up for him. Xiao Qinghe rubbed He Xianyu's hair, as if he was rubbing the hair of a small animal, and the action was very intimate. "Go back and tell Jiang Bai that Li Cheng will not look for him anymore, and let him concentrate on preparing for the exam."
He Xianyu stood where he was.
Xiao Qinghe waited for a long time.
He Xianyu still didn't move.
When Xiao Qinghe was wondering, He Xianyu finally moved. He took a small step forward and hugged Xiao Qinghe.
Xiao Qinghe:!!!
"Brother, I'm really scared today." He Xianyu's voice was trembling. The hands around Xiao Qinghe's waist were shaking slightly.
The fear, anxiety and panic that could not be shown in front of peers, especially in front of Jiang Bai, could now be fully released in front of Xiao Qinghe.
His peers depend on him, and he, too, needs someone he can depend on.
Xiao Qinghe is the person He Xianyu wants to rely on.
Because, he is the older brother.
Xiao Qinghe became famous through romance dramas. It’s not that he has never filmed hugging scenes with actresses, but he always prepares himself mentally before filming.
This was the second time that He Xianyu hugged him without saying hello.
After He Xianyu started to act, she remembered that Xiao Qinghe didn't like physical contact. She was about to let go when suddenly, her waist felt tight and she felt the unique warmth of Xiao Qinghe.
It was his hand that reached up to embrace her.
Slender and powerful.
The two hugged each other tightly, and their aura almost merged into one.
Xiao Qinghe is an only child, but he has three childhood friends. He thought it was normal for brothers to hug each other. Especially since He Xianyu was still young, and after what happened today, he needed such close physical contact to give him a sense of security. "If something like this happens again, just call me directly. With me here, no one dares to bully you."
He Xianyu felt much better after hearing this, "Am I taking advantage of the power of the tiger?"
Xiao Qinghe patted He Xianyu's back and comforted him, "With a big tiger like me here, no one can bully my little fox."
The "little fox" felt relieved after getting the assurance from the "big tiger". He was about to go back to find Jiang Bai, and when he put his hand on the door handle, he turned around and looked at Xiao Qinghe.
He Xianyu has a pair of very beautiful eyes, like a mountain stream, crystal clear and clear to the bottom, so clear that one can see everything at a glance.
He said, "Brother, I think you are starting to like me."
Xiao Qinghe was stunned.
He Xianyu presented evidence: "Because you don't mind physical contact with me."
The little fox is getting more and more aggressive.
He Xianyu smiled broadly, like a flower blooming: "Brother, I like you too."
Xiao Qinghe's heartstrings were suddenly disturbed, and his mind was suddenly in chaos.
Wait, the love that He Xianyu was talking about should be the kind of simple love between brothers.
He was thinking wrongly.
Xiao Qinghe quickly calmed himself down, "So do you like me more, or do you like Jingchen and the others more?"
He Xianyu thought for a long time.
Xiao Qinghe wondered if he had been infected by Gu Zeye. Why did he suddenly become so childish? He Xianyu had been with the group of friends in 301 for so long. How could he compare to Jingchen and the others in terms of feelings?
"You are different from them." He Xianyu said seriously, "They are my friends. Friends always have to separate, but you and I will be together for the rest of our lives."
Xiao Qinghe's heartstrings, which had just been straightened out, were completely messed up.
He Xianyu felt that what he said was right. Family and friends are different. Family members should be together for life.
…
The housekeeper arranged guest rooms for the three guests, but they were all unwilling to leave He Xianyu's room.
He Xianyu simply asked the housekeeper to bring over a few quilts and make a large bunk bed on the floor.
He turned off all the lights in the bedroom and turned on the starry sky projection lamp that Chen Zhuo had given him.
The ceiling suddenly turned into a night sky filled with stars.
He Xianyu rested his hands on the back of his head, looking at the dreamy "starry sky", "Life is like a game, you need to pass one level after another. I am very lucky that when I pass the college entrance examination, you three are with me."
Jing Chen reminded: "You have to say these sentimental words after you leave school. Director Guo will probably ask everyone to cry. The more you cry, the happier he will be."
Gu Zeye echoed: "If you can't cry, Director Guo will probably put eye drops in your eyes himself."
Director Guo can really do this!
"Time flies so fast. I will leave school in a dozen days." He Xianyu can still clearly recall what happened on the first day of his variety show recording. "Even if we are scattered all over the world in the future, remember, I am always behind you."
He Xianyu felt that he was really lucky that he could start a new life in another world after his death and meet such a group of like-minded friends.
The four of them began to chat about all sorts of things, talking about places they had been to, students they hated in class, and gossiping about who was secretly together again.
Jiang Bai has always spoken very little.
In the darkness, He Xianyu felt for Jiang Bai's hand and slowly warmed up his cold hand. "Jiang Bai, don't worry. Teacher Xiao knows that lunatic. That lunatic won't come to you again. As for the wound on your face, Gu Er said he knows a great dermatologist who can cure it."
Jiang Bai said "hmm" indifferently.
He Xianyu did not ask Jiang Bai why he wanted to bring Xiaodao to the appointment. With Jiang Bai's personality, he probably had the idea of "burning both sides together" from the beginning. If he hadn't insisted on going with him, something serious might have happened.
Jiang Bai changed the subject: "I'm hungry."
The other three were also hungry. After hearing what Jiang Bai said, they jumped up and ran to the kitchen like hungry wolves to look for food.
At two o'clock in the morning, a group of half-grown boys turned the restaurant into a carnival party before graduation. They drank Coke and Sprite, which were never sold in the canteen, and ate high-calorie food that agents would turn pale at the mere mention of it.
Because Jiang Bai had an injury on his face, he could only drink the bird's nest porridge that his nanny had carefully prepared for him.
He was still in shock about the day that had passed. He was anxious about his future life. But fortunately, he still had his friends in 301 behind him. He was no longer alone.
…
He Xianyu slept until noon the next day before getting up.
Jiang Bai has been picked up by his agent.
Jing Chen and Gu Zeye also returned to their home in Beijing to prepare for tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony.
After lunch, He Xianyu returned to his desk and saw a brand new movie script.
There is also a note left by Xiao Qinghe above the script -
You said before that you would do me a favor. Could you please write a character analysis for the character Xiao Gui in the movie "Return to the Tomb"?
He Xianyu found a comfortable position, leaned back in his chair, and opened the first page of the script.
A strange and mysterious world at the bottom of the tomb slowly unfolded before his eyes.
