Chapter 50: fireworks

"Xing Xing , get up!"

"Xing Xing, Xing Xing?"

When it was time to go to work, Ran An went to the top floor to wake up his artists as usual. After ringing the doorbell for a long time, there was no answer.

Xingchen Qi is a light sleeper, every day is a couple of presses will be dazed to open the door for her. The more Ran An waited, the more anxious she became, afraid of leaving too late to delay the shooting, regardless of the difference between men and women, and quickly swiped her own door card to open the room.

When she entered the house she went straight to the bedroom, only to see the bed bulging up in a big ball, and the person she was about to call smothered herself all under the covers.

No wonder you can't hear it.

Ran An, afraid of scaring Xingchen Qi, squatted next to her and called softly, " Xing Xing."

No movement.

"Xing Xing, if you don't get up, the business director will scold you!"

The other side finally gave a response, "Well ......"

No, this voice ...... It seems to be very false.

Ran An, who was sensitive to the problem, thought it was a good thing Xingchen Qi was not used to sleeping naked, and carefully lifted the covers.

The moment I saw the person under the quilt, I was shocked!

-- Xingchen Qi hugged himself and curled up into a ball, his face flushed, lips blue and white. Look closely, you can find his body shaking a little, the back of the cotton pajamas have been soaked with sweat a large piece.

Ran An reaches out and touches his head ...... So hot!

He has a fever!

Ran An hurriedly pushed Xingchen Qi, " Xing Xing, you are a little bit awake, I'll find Qin Lao to take you to the hospital."

"...... It's okay," Xingchen Qi felt she was probably sick, otherwise she wouldn't be so cold, "I'll take some medicine and I'll be fine."

"No, the fever is not a small thing, you have to be hooked up to water." Ran An pulled a jacket from the closet and tried to put it on for him.

Xingchen Qi Qi bit the tip of his tongue, the pain made his head feel much better. He sat up with his arm and stopped, "No, it's really not necessary, it's all about me today. Sister Ran An, did you bring a thermometer and fever-reducing medicine?"

"Bring it on, but ......"

"Please bring it for me."

"Gee, you are really ......" Ran An angry jumping feet, but look Xingchen Qi a completely persuasive expression, gritted his teeth, went back to his room to get the medical kit.

Her room was on the 14th floor, and when she came up again, Xingchen Qi had already changed her clothes and pants.

Xingchen Qi took the medical kit from her hands, skillfully opened the thermometer and stuffed it under his armpit. Then took out a fever-reducing sticker and put it on his head, directing methodically: " Sister Ran An, please help me pour a cup of warm water, a cup of hot water."

Warm water for medicine, hot water for sweating, Ran An went to the water fountain to get water as he said.

Xingchen Qi took advantage of this time to find a good cold and fever medicine, get warm water, raised his chin, eight pills swallowed at once.

After doing this, he holds a glass of water and slowly drinks hot water.

After drinking most of the cup, the chill was gone. He looked at Ran An frowning and pouting, jokingly said, "What are you worried about? Drinking more hot water can cure all kinds of diseases, I will be fine soon."

Ran An was made to snort out a laugh by the "drink more hot water" stunt, after laughing but more heartbroken, " Xing Xing, you take medicine so skillfully, is no one to take care of when you were a child?"

"...... Yes," Xingchen Qi paused, "but they preferred to let me be independent, so I learned to take care of myself at a very young age."

What kind of parents want their children to take care of themselves when they are sick? That's so irresponsible! Ran An was furious.

But she knows her position, she is only Xingchen Qi assistant, no position to intervene in people's family affairs, moreover, not qualified to criticize the parents of others, frowning a small face sullen.

"Okay, go get me another drink." Xingchen Qi laughed and coaxed her up.

Ran An then went to get hot water again, Xingchen Qi took out the thermometer and flung it a few times.

38 degrees 5, okay, medium temperature, handled properly can quickly reduce the fever.

After the second cup of hot water, his body was almost warm, he hurried down to wash up. When he dragged Ran An to the set, the rest of the group had already arrived.

Yuliang Shang, while debugging equipment, teased him: " Qi Xiao, today came a little late ...... Aigoo, why do you look so bad?"

"I had a nightmare in bed last night," Xingchen Qi lied, "I'll be fine after I put on my makeup, I'm going to get the makeup artist now."

Makeup is one of Asia's four evil arts, and with a little touch-up by the makeup artist, his face immediately returned to its previous state. After a morning of shooting, all the scenes were completed perfectly, except for a bit of footloose.

At noon, to apologize for being late, he ordered two dozen crawfish and salads for the crew to eat, while he took a bottle of milk back to the nanny car to rest.

After a morning of intense filming that almost drained him of his strength, he leaned back in his seat and tried to empty himself for a nap to feel better in the afternoon.

As a result, the scene last night disobediently replayed in front of his eyes repeatedly.

"After helping you with the play on the 22nd, he went to my place for a while."

"If the media finds out, we won't be able to say anything."

"Luckily for you."

Fortunately, you are there.

Xingchen Qi couldn't help but snicker, Ran An's analysis was actually so accurate.

He stepped in to help clarify the situation, which in turn helped Ye Bai and Tao Tao.

The direct sunlight was uncomfortable to the eyes, so Xingchen Qi dragged a piece of clothing and covered his head.

So ...... What is Ye Bai doing at Tao Tao's place?

To Tao Tao to tell the drama? Tao Tao is a professional actor, he should not be needed.

To catch up with old friends? It's not convenient or safe to go into an actress' room in the middle of the night to catch up.

Or do you go to Tao Tao, as the netizen comments say ...... Warm up?

In fact, come to think of it, the top flow can let the risk of being secretly photographed into the actress room, it seems that only this reason is the most reasonable.

And this is not the real world, this is a romance novel full of Lisu Ma. In the novel, Ye Bai is supposed to get closer and closer to Tao Tao.

He, himself, is the one who should not be involved in it, the outsider.

Thinking of this, Xingchen Qi suddenly felt the empty stomach was very difficult. He threw down his clothes and unscrewed the milk.

Not waiting to drink it, [Bo sent a WeChat message]

Looking at the cell phone interface, Xingchen Qi fingers unconsciously tighten, the plastic bottle issued a "creak creak" crunch.

It wasn't until he felt the wetness on his legs that he realized the milk had been pinched out of him and scrambled to find paper towels to wipe his pants.

" Xing Xing ."

At this time Ran An came to the car with a paper cup, "I saw you did not eat crawfish, went to the convenience store next to buy a Guan Dong Bo, is now hot, eat some."

"Okay," Xingchen Qi threw down the tissue, tossing the phone aside in the process, "thanks."

Ye Bai, who had finished shooting on the other side, frowned when she saw the delayed response from WeChat.

These days the little fan is getting slower and slower to respond to messages, let alone initiate messages to him.

What went wrong?

.

The hot soup cooked by Kanto was a good comfort to the empty stomach.

After eating, Ran An took Xingchen Qi's temperature again and said, "Good, it will be back to normal soon. By the way, Xing Xing, how did you get the fever last night."

He didn't know himself: "Maybe he didn't cover up."

"Next time you are sick you must call me and take your medicine early to save yourself a hard time."

Xingchen Qi "hmm", a thought flashed through his mind.

He is still in a state of being without an agent. Ran An has been in the industry for a short time, but is very attentive, alert and sensitive to unexpected events. After observation, he seems to have no connection with the plot and is a dispensable tool.

This is most suitable for him, either well-known agents may be which has a connection with the protagonist, to the plot needs to jump out to pit him a, he can not stand.

He carefully calculated the feasibility of turning Ran An into an agent, shortly after Ran An tapped him on the shoulder and snapped him back to attention, " Xing Xing, your phone is ringing."

Could it be Ye Bai who saw that he didn't reply to the message and called to follow up.

Xingchen Qi is a little hesitant.

" Xing Xing , didn't you hear me?"

"Oh, I hear you." He reluctantly picked up the phone.

...... I can't believe it's the nurse's phone!

The nurse told him that Xuan Tao had woken up and was undergoing a full body checkup. Now it was lunch break, so Xingchen Qi quickly informed Tao Tao and asked Qin Lao to take them to the hospital when Tao Tao came out.

Qin Lao drove them all the way to the ward, and Xingchen Qi heard the nurse softly advise Xuan Tao: "If you don't eat, your body will recover slowly, and you will miss many classes."

" Xuan Xiao is not eating again?" Tao Tao took off his jacket and walked quickly to the hospital bed.

Xuan Tao is leaning on the head of the bed, looking forward, not knowing what he is thinking.

Hearing Tao Tao's voice, he finally changed his sitting position and turned his head to look at his sister.

"I'll do it," Tao Tao took the lunchbox from the caregiver, "Xuan Xiao, did we make a pact to keep me from being distracted while I'm filming?"

"...... is."

"Then eat the meal, the body is well nourished and well nourished, in order to wait until the kidney source the first time to do surgery, right?"

At this news, Xingchen Qi's heart sank. Yesterday Xuan Tao physical examination of the laboratory items need 24 hours to take the report, he has not yet seen the diagnosis.

He guessed that Xuan Tao's disease had entered the active stage, but he did not expect that it had deteriorated to the point of needing a kidney transplant.

After the exacerbation of SLE, the patient will have strong hallucinations and suicidal tendencies, and Xuan Tao's mental state must now be very, very unstable.

Sure enough, Xuan Tao hung her head, "Sister, I don't want to wait."

"...... Xuan Xiao , what are you talking about." Tao Tao persistently scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to his mouth.

"I said, I don't want a new kidney."

Tao Tao's arms trembled as she held the bowl, Xingchen Qi, a stranger heard it was not pleasant, so imagine how tormented she was at the moment.

It is not convenient for outsiders to be present at such times, so Xingchen Qi called the caregiver and the two of them sat on a bench outside the ward to wait.

Twenty minutes later, Tao Tao came out with an empty lunch box and smiled reluctantly at Xingchen Qi: "Sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Tao Tao, sister ......" Xingchen Qi paused, " Is Xuan Tao in good shape now?"

"It's okay."

"Then would you be so kind as to ...... let me have a word with him?"

Tao Tao froze, then understood what he was going to say and nodded his head in agreement.

But Xingchen Qi didn't have any expectations.

If before he came, he was hoping that Xuan Tao would clear Jiaze Qi's name, now he thinks he might as well hurry up and do it another way.

In order not to irritate Xuan Tao, he pulled away and took his seat. Leaning down and maintaining a very open posture, " Xuan Xiao , I am Jiaze Qi's brother. We met on the road, do you remember?"

Xuan Tao looked out the window.

"Your sister and I are also friends, so I asked Ze Jia to play with you more at school... did he play with you? How are you guys getting along?"

Xuan Tao is still looking out the window.

Seeing Xuan Tao ignore his thoughts, Xingchen Qi changed a euphemism to get straight to the point, "Yesterday before you fainted, Jiaze Qi threw a ball to you, did it hurt you?"

Xuan Tao finally moved.

His head rushed in the direction of the window and his mouth opened and closed, "It should be a little harder."

A little harder, how good to smash him.

Xingchen Qi : "......"

" Xuan Xiao , you can find your sister or me if you need anything. I won't disturb your rest, remember to eat well."

This day completely chatting can not continue, Xingchen Qi pressed Solar Plexus, directly out of the ward.

Tao Tao had a play to catch, so he coaxed Xuan Tao to finish his meal and went back to the set himself.

Xingchen Qi was the only one left walking back, and on the way he opened WeChat to ask Jiaze Qi about the situation.

After searching for a long time, he found a suspicious species named "King" in his address book and said: [Ze Jia?

King: [It's me, change the avatar you can not recognize it, then I change back to James]

Xing Xing : [No, did the teacher look for you today?

King: [looking for, I listened to your dead or alive did not recognize, they are angry to death]

Finally, there is a good thing, Xingchen Qi typed: [Xuan Tao side is not good, you have time today to contact the students who were present, let them help to testify]

King: [ok, Xuan Tao where is it bad?

"......" Xingchen Qi sighed.

This silly child, their own charges are not cleared, and still forget to think about how others.

Before wearing into the "Peach of the Night", he felt that the Qi family deserved to die.

After crossing in, he found that the Qi family is just a puppet at the mercy of the plot, in fact, everyone has a soft and kind heart.

Xingchen Qi briefly talked about Xuan Tao's condition, and Jiaze Qi immediately said that he would not mess with Xuan Tao again. Xingchen Qi was even more upset after hearing this.

He hopes there will be a next time.

.

Back at the oceanarium, it so happened that the last scene had just finished filming. Yuliang Shang beckoned Xingchen Qi: "Go change and get ready for your next scene. By the way, Qi Xiao, don't ask anyone out tonight."

Xingchen Qi was curious: "There is a night drama?"

"I heard Tao Tao's brother has woken up and is in good health. We've been working too hard for a while, so we're going out for a dinner tonight to celebrate and relax."

As an actor, it is normal and necessary for him to follow the crew's schedule during filming. Xingchen Qi has never taken the initiative to ask anyone out. If someone approaches him, he will only agree if he is ready for tomorrow's scene.

So he would have made no arrangements, answered and went to the dressing room to change his work clothes.

The afternoon was dominated by his scenes with the group, mainly showing Xiao Lin's psychological changes and transformation after working in the oceanarium and spending time with the marine life.

This is also his penultimate day of shooting the main scenes. After some preliminary shots tomorrow, he will move to the university campus and outdoors with the B-team to shoot Xiao Lin's life scenes.

The group actors were very nice and their acting skills were on point, and several seal show scenes ended quickly.

Before checking out, a young girl in her twenties, holding a book, timidly shouted, "Xingchen Qi."

"Hmm?" Xingchen Qi was reading the script for the next scene and looked up at the sound of his voice.

"Can you sign my autograph, I'm your starlight."

Xingchen Qi was surprised that his fan base had grown into the group of actors, and stood up with a smile, took the book and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" The girl couldn't contain her joy, "You're going to give me To sign?"

Xingchen Qi suddenly felt that this scene was familiar - when he went to pick up Ye Bai from the airport, Ye Bai pretended not to know him and drew a Xing Xing on his hand.

Xingchen Qi winked, "Well, here's your To sign."

The girl read out a very elegant-sounding name, and Xingchen Qi finished signing it with a few strokes. The girl happily hugged in her arms and left, Xingchen Qi sat back on her horse and opened her phone album.

Scroll up and flip to the date of the pickup day.

That day he did not wash his hands all day, and in the evening before the shower, in order to keep a souvenir, took a photo of Xing Xing on his palms.

He stared at the photo for a while, sliding his finger over and over on the "delete" button, and finally he put the phone back in his pocket as if discouraged.

.

At 6 p.m., Yuliang Shang announced an early work stoppage to facilitate the evening meal.

The guys changed into nice clothes and got into their nanny cars. A row of business cars marching towards the restaurant, the scene is extremely spectacular.

This time there were many people, including all the secondary supporting actors, plus the director, assistant director, camera crew leader, lighting crew leader, etc. Almost 30 people. Someone suggested to eat hot pot, Yuliang Shang then ordered a hot pot restaurant, one person a small pot kind, sitting in two large round tables.

Since the food was served in the name of celebrating Tao Tao, Yuliang Shang said, "It was really close this time, I hope Tao Tao's brother is getting better and better."

Tao Tao is quite good at talking: "Thank you for your blessing, but there is no such thing as taking the actor's relatives' bodies for an article. I think director Shang just want to find an excuse to invite everyone to dinner, find me on it!"

Yuliang Shang laughed loudly and drank a toast with gusto.

The main seat are dry, the rest of the people naturally can not be left behind, have tilted their heads. After the first cup, Yuliang Shang continued to mention the second cup, "temporary adjustment of this period of time, everyone followed me every day to work, tired, thank you for your efforts."

"We should, we should", "Isn't that our duty", "You are the most tired person", "We will continue to work hard in the future ", everyone was saying polite things, but their eyes were plucking out Xu Sheng.

If he wasn't there, why would he be so tired?

Sheng Xu recently mixed in the crew is not a person, may be the agent instructed, he automatically chose the most remote seat, so as not to sit in the heart of the despised from the beginning to the end.

Xingchen Qi also looked at his side along with everyone else and suddenly noticed that Sheng Xu was looking very strange.

The face with a fake smile, a pair of gloomy eyes, staring straight at Tao Tao side face.

...... Why did he look at Tao Tao with that look?

Xingchen Qi rubbed his stomach puzzled for a moment, and suddenly remembered - this is not the "Peach of the Night", the hero rescues the beauty of the plot?

The first thing you need to do is to get drunk, and Sheng Xu takes her back to his room and tries to molest her. Tao Tao called the male lead, who came to the rescue in a hurry.

In the original article, this episode takes place at Sheng Xu's banquet. Knowing that he will never see Tao Tao again, he makes up his mind to go out of his way.

Now the timeline is ahead of schedule, but the motivation remains the same - because Sheng Xu's scenes are cut short, with only three days of drama left to kill.

And with his current popularity, it's clear that the crew isn't going to prepare a killing party for him.

If he doesn't do it today, he won't have a chance!

After drinking two glasses of wine, Xingchen Qi instantly sobered up - Ye Bai and Tao Tao's night meeting was one thing, knowing that Tao Tao was going to be in danger was another.

The woman was born with no advantage over the man, and the struggle inevitably allowed Sheng Xu to take advantage, and he couldn't do it while watching her fall into the fear of being molested.

If you can change the direction of the plot by the way, of course better.

He rushed to Tao Tao next to him and advised in a low voice: " Tao Tao sister, you drink less, tomorrow we have a lot of shots need to make up."

Tao Tao smiled, "Thank you for your concern, I will drink less without you reminding me!"

Xingchen Qi was much relieved and did not stare at her and Sheng Xu.

However, heaven forbid.

After so much work, everyone had a chance to relax and kept raising their glasses. Yuliang Shang saw the staff happy and kept on raising the wine.

In the room are in the circle, who do not know how the other party's background. Wine to the head, do not drink impolite is secondary, maybe the other side think you do not give him face, secretly stabbed on a knife.

Then don't want to mix in the entertainment industry in the future!

So by the end of the drink, most people were drunk. Including Xingchen Qi himself also drank a lot, and his stomach kept churning like a sea.

"Okay, that's it, I'm afraid I won't be able to start work tomorrow if I keep drinking," Yuliang Shang called the waiter and directed him while signing the order, "I'm too drunk to take care of it, the boys are responsible for sending the girls back to their rooms."

"Okay, I'll send Tao Tao sister!" Xingchen Qi hurriedly raised her hand.

"I see that you are also drunk, I can not give my heroine to you," Yuliang Shang glanced around, "Xiao Xu is a good drinker, you send Yan Ji."

Xingchen Qi : "......"

Shit!

Who sends whom is quickly set, but the good thing is that everyone stays in the same hotel and he can keep an eye on it at all times.

Xingchen Qi got out of the car and sent another actor back to his room as fast as he could. After accepting the other actor's thanks, he couldn't wait to take the elevator up again and ran down the fire escape to the 24th floor.

Just in time to see Sheng Xu push Tao Tao through the door!

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Xingchen Qi only had time to see the lustful smile on his lips and Tao Tao's drunken cheeks!

"Ding dong - ding dong -" Xingchen Qi pounded on the doorbell.

"Clunk - clunk -" Xingchen Qi chiseled the door hard.

But Sheng Xu was determined and ignored the noise he made. Xingchen Qi was getting more and more anxious, and his head was full of sweat.

And what's going on with the male lead, how come he hasn't come yet?

No way, now safety first. There is a time to wait for the main man to come, Tao Tao does not know how many salty hands to suffer.

Xingchen Qi called 110 with his left hand and knocked on Qingyuan Feng's door with his right hand, trying to find him to bang on the door together.

After knocking a few times no one answered, he remembered that Qingyuan Feng wanted to send Shang to his room. Seeing that the elevator is just about to arrive, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the elevator.

"Ding~" The elevator doors opened and he scurried in with one step -

As a result, I didn't stop my feet and accidentally collided with a passenger inside!

"Right ......" Xingchen Qi hastily apologize, the words only one word out, see each other's face, suddenly can not say the remaining two words.

Fever, stomachache, soiled pants, drunk ...... A whole day of aggression at the same time, he did not think, reached out and hammered Ye Bai a fist!

Xingchen Qi drank too much, this punch is soft and painless. Ye Bai looked him up and down once: "Drinking again?"

"Yes, I'm crazy about alcohol!" Xingchen Qi Brutally unreasonable.

"No wonder you guys aren't answering my calls," Ye Bai said, "I'll take you back to your room and get you some sobriety pills."

"...... No," Xingchen Qi thought of Tao Tao, "Help me, Tao Tao has been taken into her room by Sheng Xu!"

He said he pulled Ye Bai to the door of Sheng Xu's room, Ye Bai could understand what was more important, and he and Xingchen Qi combined their efforts and finally opened the door of Sheng Xu's room after more than ten strokes.

.

Tao Tao should be struggling, the top collar is torn, sideburns messy, but the rest of the clothes are more intact, should not be bullied for too long.

Sheng Xu was delirious and panicked when his evil deeds were discovered, and was pushed to the ground by Xingchen Qi and Ye Bai in two or three strokes.

Five minutes later, police officers from the police station quickly arrived at the scene. Considering Tao Tao's identity, only a simple statement was taken, leaving a female police officer to calm Tao Tao and take Sheng Xu away.

Yuliang Shang was so frightened that he kept shouting that he was guilty and asked the driver to take Tao Tao to the hospital for examination.

When the dust had settled, Xingchen Qi was finally relieved. Immediately after he found himself sore and weak, his back could barely straighten up.

"Are you better?" Ye Bai stood at Sheng Xu's door, "Come on, I'll take you back to your room."

"No, I'll go upstairs by myself. Your mission is complete, you can go back."

"What are you talking about drunk," Ye Bai held him up, "I'm not done with my business, I was going up there too."

Xingchen Qi is not concerned, wanting to say you are not to save Tao Tao, which there are still things to do.

Then he realized that Ye Bai's answer was not quite right.

"You ......" Xingchen Qi asked tentatively, "What are you doing in our hotel at night?"

"Send the demo of the theme song of "Heart of the Ocean" to the director of Shang."

"You didn't get a call from someone to come here?" Xingchen Qi was incredulous.

"I was going to ask why you guys didn't answer the phone, I didn't know if I should come," Ye Bai just thought he was crazy about alcohol, "Go back to rest, don't stand around in the hallway."

Xingchen Qi brain is a mess ...... The main man's words, it seems to be not right with the plot ah.

Now drunk, he was eager to prove it and grabbed Ye Bai's cuffs: "How come I didn't hear you were writing the theme song for 'Ocean's Heart'?"

"I was approached by Director Shang before, but I didn't agree. That day after accompanying you to the scene, out again he was caught away a grinding, no choice but to agree."

Out the door and was caught by him a grinding .....

Xingchen Qiqi raised his hand to grab the top of his head, feeling like someone shoved a handful of fireworks into his brain, crackling and colorful.

"That ......"

He took a deep breath, his voice carrying a faintly detectable anticipation, "You and Director Shang, where did you discuss the theme song?"

If others had been questioned endlessly like this, Ye Bai would have walked away with a cold face.

But the single eyelid of the little fan in front of him was too cute, Ye Bai patiently explained: "Of course it is to Tao Tao's room, this song is for her ah."
