When Lin Luosang first heard the word "take a bath", he actually didn't realize anything was wrong.
She subconsciously lowered her eyes, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to drain the water for him, but halfway through, she realized what was happening.
Lin Luosang turned around and stood in the warm yellow light of the bathroom looking at him, thinking he was hallucinating.
"What did you say?"
Pei Hanzhou narrowed his eyes and motioned her seriously to look at his plastered hand: "I haven't had a shower in over 20 hours, and I even went to the hospital and boarded a plane."
Then he said slowly: "I want to take a bath, isn't that normal?"
He loves taking baths anyway, so at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this.
Lin Luosang met his frank gaze and for the first time wondered if his thoughts were too dirty. So he pursed his lips, trying to appear more noble, and asked, "Can your wound see water?"
Pei Hanzhou: "It shouldn't work."
After calmly thinking for a few seconds, Lin Luosang turned off the faucet and tentatively asked, "Then let me help you wipe it...?"
The man looked at her for a while, as if he was thinking. After thinking for a moment, he nodded reluctantly.
Lin Luosang placed a chair in front of him and said, "Sit down. I'll adjust the water temperature."
Pei Hanzhou: "I haven't taken off my clothes yet."
Lin Luosang frowned: "You want me to help you take off your clothes?"
He answered as a matter of course: "I can't move one of my hands."
Okay.
We had just been apart for a few days and he started taking off my clothes. I don’t know what’s going on with this progress bar.
Lin Luosang pulled off his turtleneck sweater and shirt, and in return the man whispered a warning:
"Be gentle."
“…”
"knew."
Not knowing what sin she had committed, she soaked the bath towel in water and wrung it out, then held the back of his neck and wiped it carefully down along the man's neck.
After discarding some unfounded and unhealthy thoughts, Lin Luosang has accepted the role of the angel in white that she will assume today. She wipes carefully and meticulously, concentrating on it, and feels so light-headed that she doesn't even know what the world is.
Suddenly she heard a voice and she thought it was her hallucination. She finally came out of her elegant world of "saving the dying and healing the wounded" and found that the man was not in a very good condition.
He leaned against the edge of the bathtub, his eyes closed, his head tilted back slightly as if he was enduring something, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his face.
From her angle, she could see his Adam's apple rolling more clearly, and could also hear the man groaning very softly.
Lin Luosang's mind buzzed: "What's your name?"
The man said hoarsely, "Maybe it's because the water is too hot."
He was no longer sure whether what he had said ten minutes ago was clever or self-torturing.
"Where's the hottest part here?" Lin Luosang tested the water temperature and said, "It's almost done. Shall I put on your pajamas?"
Pei Hanzhou lowered his eyes to look at the belt that hadn't moved and hadn't even been untied: "How did it get better?"
Realizing that his hard work was only half completed in the man's eyes, and the most important part was yet to come, Lin Luosang straightened his back and finally understood the man's true intentions.
She gritted her teeth, choked for a few seconds, and lovingly covered Pei Hanzhou's handsome face with a towel.
"Wash it if you want!"
After leaving a towel and hot water, Lin Luosang went out. No one knew how he finally solved the problem. In short, the man hesitated for an hour before coming out. When he saw her, he stood at the door with his arms folded, his wet black eyes drooping: "Why didn't you leave?"
Lin Luosang nodded understandingly: "You want me to leave, right? Okay, I'll leave now--"
"No," the man grabbed her wrist, "I thought you were going to rest."
"I can only rest if you rest."
She pointed to the bed and said, "Go up and sleep."
Under the guidance of Doctor Lin, the man was able to lie down slowly with his stiff arm. Lin Luosang put a pillow on the side where he had applied the plaster to prevent him from accidentally pressing on the injured area.
She tucked the quilt in for him again, then clapped her hands: "Almost done, go to sleep, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."
But the next day Pei Hanzhou did not wait for her to wake him up.
She began to have a low-grade fever intermittently.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t get enough rest these days and was too busy, so I started to have a low fever and cough, and my limbs felt weak and powerless.
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital. What caught her eye were white curtains and walls, as well as the smell of disinfectant that she hadn't smelled for a long time.
She coughed twice more.
"Awake?" a man's voice sounded not far from my ear. "Would you like some water?"
She forced herself to sit up, feeling dizzy. She picked up the cup beside the bed and drank most of the hot water. Then she licked her lips and touched her forehead, which was a little hot.
I started to feel a little cold last night, and I didn’t expect to wake up in the hospital.
"Yue Hui said you haven't had a good rest in the past few days. You've been rehearsing intensively and even attending concerts," the man frowned unhappily. "Why are you meddling in other people's concerts? You're working non-stop just to write a theme song?"
She curled her lips and mumbled to herself, "The weather has been bad recently, and it's easy to get a fever or a cold. There are also several people in the studio who are coughing."
"Can other people be like you? You're so busy that you want to kill yourself."
"Who said I don't want it?" She replied, her head heavy, resting it on her arms and closing her eyes. "It's probably because I went out to buy apples last night and the wind was too strong and I didn't wear enough clothes. It's because the fruit store is too far away."
"Why don't you ask your assistant to buy it for you?"
“…I forgot.”
The man really couldn't do anything with her. He sighed and sent her back to bed. After a while, he spoke: "I'm not being mean to you. I just hope you take good care of yourself."
She pulled the sheet over her nose, revealing a pair of slightly curved eyes, and she chuckled to herself twice.
"It's incredible that President Pei can actually explain it now."
Before she finished laughing, the man reached out and covered her eyes.
Lin Luosang: “…”
She fell asleep again in a daze. Perhaps because she had been forcing herself to keep her emotions under control for the past few days, her body functions had been pushed to the limit. When she relaxed, her body suddenly rebounded, causing her body temperature to rise again.
When she was in a state of blurred consciousness, she felt someone walk to her bedside, take out one of her hands, and seemed to be giving her an injection.
She dodged subconsciously, and then her wrist was held tightly by the man.
He said, "I'm next to you, I'll be watching, don't be afraid."
Her mind was spinning in a daze, and she chose to believe it and didn't struggle.
About an hour later, when the injection was about to be finished, the nurse was called in again. Her voice seemed to be transmitted into her dream through a layer of mist: "There are still some medicines left. You can wait ten minutes to remove them."
"No need," Pei Hanzhou said, "Pull it out in advance."
Last time, the blood backflow occurred because the needle was not removed in time. This time, the man called the nurse in advance, and she finally felt relieved.
It was as if she wanted to make up for all the sleep she had missed recently. In addition, she felt unwell and vaguely heard the nurse say "body temperature has risen" in the middle of the night. Her sleep system was completely turned on. Moreover, she felt that Pei Hanzhou was always by her side, so she inexplicably felt a little safe. She thought that he would handle any big problems, so she rested more and more unscrupulously.
I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, it was already dark outside.
She slept very well, without being disturbed by anyone and without being disturbed by her subconscious mind.
The man turned on a desk lamp not far away and looked at her as he flipped through some documents. He asked, "Are you feeling better?"
She shook her head. "Much better."
"Are you hungry?"
Lin Luosang touched his belly and was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something and turned around and searched for his phone. "What day is it today?!"
"six."
"What time is it?"
"Eleven o'clock."
Lin Luosang fell heavily to the headboard of the bed and closed his eyes in self-blame: "Today is the finals of the 'Audio-Visual Feast'!!"
Although she had said she would not participate in the finals when she had a conflict with the program crew a long time ago, she never expected that she would actually not participate in the end.
Pei Hanzhou put down his pen: "I know."
"You knew? Why didn't you inform me?"
"Your fever was almost 40 degrees Celsius at the time. How could I possibly tell you? Were you supposed to compete while half conscious?" Pei Hanzhou remained calm. "What if you fainted on stage?"
She sighed and listened to the man continue, "Yue Hui has discussed this with the production team, and they don't agree with you going. It's cold and drizzling, so they can't let you perform in the rain."
"Things are different now. You have a huge fan base. If anything happens, the production team won't be responsible."
Lin Luosang propped up his head and said, "That's true."
She could still perform with a low fever, but with such a high fever, her limbs were out of control and she didn't even have the energy to think of her own name, let alone perform.
Besides, performing with such a body is irresponsible to the audience and also makes fans worry.
If the man woke her up and told her about this, not only would she not be able to go, but she would also not be able to rest well due to all kinds of emotions, and her illness would be slow to heal. If not, although she still couldn't go, at least she could rest well.
Pei Hanzhou did arrange the best solution for her.
She tried to think positively: "This is the last show. I've earned all the rewards I deserve. Everyone can see my level of ability clearly. I don't need a trophy."
The man leaned forward, holding something unknown.
Lin Luosang sighed softly, "It's a shame that I didn't win the championship."
"What a shame?" The man placed the trophy in front of her. "What a shame?"
Lin Luosang:?!?!?!
She pointed at the thing in front of her, a little confused, and looked up at him: "What is this??"
"The trophy," the man lowered his eyes lazily, a smile on his lips, "Tonight's championship trophy, Yue Hui just sent it over."
Lin Luosang: ???
"Me? Didn't I not go to perform? How did I win the championship?"
"Yeah," he said, a smile spreading across his lips. He opened her hand and let her hold the trophy. "How did you win the championship without performing?"
The golden object in his hand was icy cold. Lin Luosang looked down at it in a trance. For a moment, he felt like he was in a dream. He felt that the development of the situation was a bit bizarre and tightened his palms without any sense of reality.
She picked up her cell phone from the table, and sure enough, during the dozen or so hours she had been asleep, her WeChat messages had exploded. A few hours ago, they were all asking her if she was okay, but an hour ago, they all turned into congratulations.
Clicking on the hot search, Pei Hanzhou did not lie to her.
The hot search position is almost completely dominated by tonight's program, and all the related terms from top to bottom are——
#Lin Luosang Champion#
#Lin Luosang rehearses straight shot#
#TrappedBeast#
#Audio-visual feast season 2 ends#
#Lin Luosang dominates the finals#
…
She clicked on the first trending search, and most of the square cheered, as if the New Year had arrived early.
[Awesome! The first person in variety show history to win the championship without going on stage! ! !]
[Before Lin Luosang, I had no idea that the finals could be so competitive. What kind of divine physique does she have? Hahahahaha!]
When I knew Lin Luosang had a fever and couldn't come to the competition, I was like, "WTF!" When I knew Lin Luosang didn't come to the competition and was sleeping at home, yet he still won the championship, I was like, "WTF!" I only regret that I wasn't good enough at studying. I'm so mad at him! [grin]
After scrolling through a few posts, Lin Luosang finally saw the summary explanation his fans had posted in the comments section: [I didn't intend to occupy public resources. Lin Luosang has been trending for five consecutive times simply because he's incredibly popular. For those of you who clicked in and don't know why, let me summarize. (I didn't pay for trending searches, although Sangsang is certainly wealthy.)]
After browsing the fans' Weibo, Lin Luosang finally understood what was going on tonight.
The news that she had a fever was reported about two hours before the competition. The program team and the company announced that she was unwell. For health reasons, they unanimously decided not to let her go on stage and let her rest at home.
In order to record the process and for archiving purposes, "Audio-Visual Feast" will record a video of the guests at the final rehearsal and publish it online at a later date.
Lin Luosang is of course no exception, as she rehearsed many times without getting tired of it, so there are several rehearsal live shots.
Because of her obsessive-compulsive disorder for perfection, the rehearsals and live performances of every game are actually similar. If you have to say what the difference is, it is probably that there are more instant cheers from the audience.
During the live broadcast of tonight's show, the comments were all about how regretful it was that she didn't come today, and many people said that they were waiting for her to watch the finals live. After countless people brainstormed, someone suggested -
After each episode, aren't rehearsal footage released as a behind-the-scenes feature? Since Lin Luosang isn't here today, why not let everyone see the rehearsal as a contemporary meal?
As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it immediately received countless responses and became a hot topic within just half an hour. Tens of thousands of people @ed the official Weibo, demanding to see Lin Luosang's performance, otherwise they would go to bed with regrets tonight.
The program team held a brief meeting and thought it was okay, so they launched Lin Luosang’s rehearsal stage after the last guest’s performance.
In fact, at the beginning, most people just wanted to watch the fun and make up for the lack of something. No one thought they could see a rehearsal stage comparable to the live performance. They thought that having it was enough, so why would they need a bicycle?
Finally I clicked on the rehearsal and took a look.
There was indeed no bicycle falling from the sky, but a car, and it was the kind that started like a Lamborghini.
The sophistication of Lin Luosang's rehearsal stage exceeded everyone's imagination.
If it weren't for the "Live Broadcast" sign in the upper left corner, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a live performance.
Perfect marks for expression management, perfect marks for melody adjustment, perfect marks for stage performance, and perfect marks for singing skills.
The way the stage was presented was curious. After all, no one had ever seen a rehearsal stage used to participate in the finals. Plus, the song was really good, so it wasn't difficult for it to go viral.
However, the voting time for the finals is short. Even if you are popular, you still cannot win the prize if you miss the best time to vote.
But Lin Luosang is definitely not an ordinary person. Her popularity and influence on communication should not be underestimated. In just 20 minutes, "The Trapped Beast" was forwarded more than 10,000 times, and the entire live broadcast room was full of discussions.
As an audience, we can directly feel the performers' passion for the stage. In addition, "Audio-Visual Feast" has never had the habit of closing the voting channel for other guests.
So three minutes before the voting channel closed, she managed to turn the tide from fifth to first, and in the last minute, she opened up a gap of more than 10 million votes between her and the last place.
——It is no exaggeration to say that this is a miracle that is unique in variety show competitions.
Her championship is not only well-deserved, but even legendary.
Even variety show scripts wouldn't dare to write something like this, yet she not only did it, but also did it so well. It's no surprise that she's in the top five trending searches.
Many people are sharing related paragraphs:
You have no idea, but I was at the finals today. After all the guests finished their performances, the host came on stage. Just before the host announced the voting would open, no one listened. Everyone grabbed their phones to watch Lin Luosang's rehearsal. It was so uniform, literally. From where I was sitting, everyone! Was! Watching! More importantly, it was truly beautiful. She deserved the championship!
I think it's all thanks to Lin Luosang's dedication. He's as serious in rehearsals as he is in his actual performances. That's why the audience can see such great results from rehearsals. If he'd just been perfunctory in rehearsals, he wouldn't have won the championship.
This fan feels like I'm dreaming tonight. I feel like my idol has created a miracle that will go down in history. Hahahaha. Even if it's a script, no one but Lin Luosang could pull off this kind of publicity and tension. No exaggeration.
This audio-visual feast may be the biggest winner. It didn't cost much and yet it made so many trending searches. If I were the production team, I'd be so happy I'd die.
Lin Luosang's status as the ace of variety shows is undeniable. Other production teams are probably envious and eager to invite her to their shows. After tonight, the number of invitations Lin Luosang's team receives will increase several times over. This influence is truly incredible, and I'm not exaggerating.
Lin Luosang stared at the trending search for a while before saying, "If I hadn't just been asleep, I would have thought this was a marketing tactic used by our company to win at a risky price."
"Unfortunately, it's not." Pei Hanzhou said.
Lin Luosang looked at him for a while and smiled too.
"Yeah, unfortunately not."
The glory is real and belongs to her alone.
She looked at the heavy trophy in her hand. It was very substantial, not like an end, but more like a beginning.
Remind her of the responsibilities she has to bear, remind her not to be complacent, remind her...
The road ahead is still long and difficult, so always remember where you originally wanted to go.
It was like telling her.
She still has many dreams, and there will definitely be time to realize them one by one.
She sighed again, and the man sat on the edge of the bed but didn't answer her. Lin Luosang saw that he had put on headphones and was staring at his phone, so he couldn't help but move over to take a look.
Pei Hanzhou was browsing the trending searches simply because he saw her watching it, but after clicking on it and reading only two posts, he discovered her rehearsal video.
Both fans and passersby were praising this amazing stage. He was quite curious and clicked in to take a look.
Her song is called "Trapped Beast".
The stage is very appropriate. At the beginning, there is an iron fence between her and the camera. She seems to be locked in a cage, and heavy iron chains are tied around her ankles, restricting her range of movement.
She refused to give in, struggling while holding onto the railing, her arms thin and thin, her eyes filled with a tenacious yet rebellious despair:
How to describe heaven and earth
Cut my body
Bleeding under the shackles
Also learn to be rebellious in a flattering way
Some professional explanations in the barrage showed that she incorporated tango into the dance part, which was beautiful yet tragic. Every time she tried to escape far away, she was suddenly pulled back by the iron chain.
He didn't quite understand any of this, he just thought her dance moves were really beautiful, able to make people feel the despair of being trapped and the pain of being pulled, yet it was still very gentle and would not cause any discomfort.
When she was pulled back by the iron chain for the last time, she finally gave up struggling. In the layers of fog that made it difficult to see clearly, she sat down with her back hunched, hugging herself tightly in a very insecure posture, taking off her mask and putting it aside. She felt helpless and sad, mocking and pathetic:
Love is a spur-of-the-moment feeling
The fangs are just a mask
Even trapped animals can be gentle and delicate
I also want to be hidden in my body
It's not you who breaks out of the cage
As the last sentence was uttered in a faint whisper, the camera pulled out into a long shot, and she collapsed as if exhausted, like a trapped beast that had given up on escaping, unwilling but having to accept her fate.
The whole song is not long, but it seems to express a lot. It seems to be describing this distorted world where even lovers seem to be dancing in shackles, but it also seems to be satirizing life, revealing that there is tenderness under some vicious disguises, but no one is willing to discover it.
He was watching how the comments were praising——
[This lyric is so heartbreaking that even without turning on the volume, I feel like I'm dying.]
[The song is beautiful, and the whole thing is quite sad, but the description of a trapped beast is strangely touching.]
Sangsang is a genius metaphor maker. I always think his metaphors are so appropriate. I am a fan of the stage and my life is perfect. I look forward to the upcoming announcement of "Development Plan 2". As a mentor, Sangsang will definitely bring more surprises.
【Pre-contracted producer Lin Mentor! ! ! 】
His viewing experience was suddenly interrupted. Lin Luosang came up to him and asked, "Are you peeking at my performance?"
"I didn't peek," the man handed over the phone, "I was being aboveboard."
Since he won the championship without participating in the competition, Lin Luosang was naturally severely criticized by everyone.
Three days later, her celebration party was held.
She was booed by everyone almost as soon as she entered the door.
"Hey, the champion is here?! Come on, Sangsang, tell me how you've been feeling these past two days!"
"Surprised? Unexpected? Thrilled?"
"My friend circle has been flooded with your legendary stories for the past two nights. Everyone is asking which marketing company you use. Your skills are too high! I said the marketing company is you and your friends online, haha ...
"This competition is so awesome, Luosang has to have a few drinks no matter what, right?!"
"That's right, you must drink more!!"
Even Ximu, who was standing aside, came forward to toast her and said, "That was really amazing. Congratulations."
“You’re pretty good too,” Lin Luosang whispered. “Second place, I saw it.”
"Silver is no match for gold, especially since you didn't even make it to the stage. This time I'm convinced. I've been playing 'Trapped Beast' on repeat for three days."
The wine glasses clinked.
…
Lin Luosang was finally let go after he was drunk to the point that he could no longer walk.
Before leaving, she leaned on the sink and thought for a long time, but did not vomit.
"She really drank too much this time," Xiao Nuan staggered as she carried her. "How could Sangsang drink like this before?"
"She's really happy. This kind of event only comes once every few years. As the center of attention, it would be unusual for her not to drink too much." Yue Hui said, "Hurry up and send her home, otherwise Pei Hanzhou will scold her."
Xiao Nuan was stunned for a moment: "Which home are you going back to?"
"What do you think? Pei Hanzhou was by my side when I was sick. Which home did you go back to? Are you a stumbling block or a catalyst in Sangsang's love life?"
Xiao Nuan: "I'm sorry, I'll reflect on it."
When Lin Luosang was sent back, Pei Hanzhou had not returned yet.
Yue Hui put her on the sofa and said, "Shall we go?"
"Wait a minute," Lin Luosang opened his eyes, "Please bring me the computer. I want to make music."
Yue Hui: “…………”
"Are you crazy? What kind of music are you making when you're drunk?"
"I can make music even when I'm drunk," Lin Luosang admitted his drunken nature shakily. "Do you look down on me, Lin Luosang, or do you look down on Li Bai?"
Yue Hui:?
"Okay, I'll get it for you right away."
After getting the computer, Lin Luosang quietly began to write a song. Yue Hui saw that she was able to be alone with him, so he left first with Xiao Nuan.
After writing for a while, she recorded a clip and sent it to Yue Hui, proving: [Listen to this, I just wrote it. You can question anyone, but you can’t question Li Bai.]
When Yue Hui heard it, it really seemed to be the case.
[Awesome! You can still make music even when you're drunk! You're the reincarnation of Li Bai, the immortal poet of our time.]
But she was somewhat of a drunkard, and after writing for a while she forgot she had a computer. She lay down on the sofa to rest. While resting, a melody popped up in her mind. She opened the voice memo and hummed it, then put the phone upside down on the table and went back to sleep.
Pei Hanzhou smelled a strong smell of alcohol as soon as he entered the door.
He knew she would drink, but he didn't expect her to drink so much. In addition, she drank until she was unconscious and even had some bathroom sex with him on the cruise ship, so he was actually a little worried tonight.
The man strode over and asked, "How much did you drink?"
"Quite a lot," she replied dazedly, practicing her voice. "Too much. I feel like I'm a barrel right now. The kind that bleeds whiskey when I pull my hair."
Pei Hanzhou: “…………”
He was not sure for a moment whether she was drunk or not.
"Are you sleepy?" the man asked. "Do you want to go to bed?"
She hummed: "Okay, take me back."
Pei Hanzhou frowned: "Where else can I take you?"
"Isn't this your home?" The drunk squinted his eyes, trying to see him clearly. "Take me back to my home."
"Aren't we divorced?"
“…”
"Is your memory confused?" Pei Hanzhou tried to reason with her, "We..."
At this point, he suddenly changed his train of thought. Seeing her defenseless appearance with her eyes closed, still practicing her voice, he lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you think we're divorced?"
She thought for a while and said, "We must...get a divorce."
"Because I like you," Lin Luosang looked at him seriously, "but you won't like me."
"So, I must..."
Pei Hanzhou frowned.
?
? ?
???
...What did she say?
She was still babble: "Then I can't just be with you and make myself bored. If I do that, I'll want more and more, and naturally I'll feel that you're giving me less and less. Since you don't like it—"
Before he could finish his words, the scene in front of him suddenly became dark and someone covered his lips.
A soft touch came, and the man's breath was close at hand, spraying on her cheek.
Lin Luosang was stunned for a second, then pushed him away: "I haven't finished talking, don't bother me!"
"Since you won't like it—"
This time she didn't finish her words, and the man's warm lips pressed down on hers again, blocking her way of speaking.
The drunk retreated angrily for a few seconds, defending his right to speak to the death: "...Do you still allow me to speak?!"
"No."
drunk:?
Pei Hanzhou leaned his arms against her side and said in a hoarse voice:
"I don't like your words. Don't say them again."
