Chapter 21
Chapter 21
"...Xiao, Yuxiao...wake up! Yuxiao..."
The moment his body got out of the water, he vaguely heard someone calling his name.But he really didn't have the strength to move his eyelids anymore, and his consciousness still remained at the bottom of the cold swimming pool. The difference was that what filled his nostrils at this moment was a dry and blazing woody fragrance, which made his aching lungs feel a little better. There was a little breathing room.
Lu Xianting strode over the props on the ground, put Ye Yuxiao on the blanket, and patted that face hard.
Ye Yuxiao drank too much water, her breathing was so weak that she could barely feel it.Lu Xianting asked Shen Jun to pressure him, while he squeezed his chin to get over it.
The scene was noisy, and many people gathered around to watch it. No one expected that a standard swimming pool could capture a real drowning situation, and there were endless discussions for a while.
Xie Yun stared at Ye Yuxiao, with tears in his eyes, clutching his bathrobe and waiting anxiously.Lu Xianting and Shen Jun cooperated for a while, Ye Yuxiao suddenly choked, Lu Xianting quickly turned him over, saw him spit a lot of water, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Xie Yun's feet softened, and tears poured out uncontrollably: "Master, you scared me to death! How are you? Are you better? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Lu Xianting stood up and asked the accompanying doctor to examine Ye Yuxiao.He took the towel from the side and wiped his face, then said angrily: "Lu Ling!"
Wrapped in a blanket, Lu Ling walked forward cautiously under the watchful eyes of everyone. He didn't know whether it was water or tears dripping on his wet face. Anyway, he looked panicked, like a chicken scared by an eagle.
"Director Lu...I, I didn't know that Mr. Ye would suddenly drown. I just acted according to the requirements of the script, I..." He trembled, his guilty and terrified appearance made everyone around him feel moved.Lu Xianting frowned, and before he could speak, he heard a sarcasm: "Did the script ask you to hold your ankle? How did I remember that the script asked you to hold your hand?"
Cen Wanwan said it right.Lu Ling moved his lips, and some emotion flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it well, and he still had that pitiful look in front of people: "Director Lu, I may not remember clearly for a while. I, I apologize to Mr. Ye, really If it doesn't work, I'll go down and drown once, so Mr. Ye should calm down."
When he said this, his assistant finally opened his mouth, wanting to intercede with Lu Xianting.Cen Wanwan's eyes widened, and he said "ha": "You shameless thing, you have turned right and wrong into black and white. Who are you pretending to be pitiful for? People who are really innocent and suffering are lying there. Before you slow down, you can't wait to pour dirty water on him?"
"I...Cen Wanwan! How did I offend you? You have been targeting me since you joined the group. Even if you like Mr. Ye, it's useless! He is the other half of Director Lu. You don't want to see the face of the monk." Looking at the face of the Buddha, aren't you afraid that Director Lu will be angry if you openly favor Mr. Ye?"
I have to say that Lu Ling is actually very good at acting, at least for now, he is acting so poorly that Cen Wanwan is so angry that he almost explodes on the spot.Lu Xianting, who had been silent all this time, finally stopped the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, but because of what Lu Ling said, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to turn around to see Ye Yuxiao's situation.
"How is he?" Lu Xianting asked the doctor.
"It's just that I choked on some water. It's not a big problem. I'll be fine after a night's rest." The accompanying doctor gave Ye Yuxiao a sedative, and prescribed anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicines for Xie Yun, asking him to watch at night. If you have a fever, let Ye Yuxiao eat it.
"Director Lu, are you still filming tonight?" Shen Jun asked.
Lu Xianting looked at the person who was already asleep, and said in a deep voice, "No more filming, call it a day."
He carried Ye Yuxiao back to the hotel, Xie Yun filled the bathtub with hot water, he put the person in, and let Xie Yun go back to the room.
Xie Yun didn't dare to disobey him, and he did take care of Ye Yuxiao for several nights before, so he didn't think much about it.
Lu Xianting turned on the Yuba, and took off Ye Yuxiao's swimming trunks, then took off his soaked clothes, and stood under the shower to take a shower.
He didn't close the curtain, and glanced at the person in the bathtub from time to time, lest the person would drown again if he moved.
Fortunately, Ye Yuxiao slept very peacefully this time, and didn't change his position until he finished taking a shower.
Lu Xianting squatted by the bathtub, touched his arms, and carried him out after making sure that he was warmed up, wiped his body and put him under the blanket.Only then did I find myself a bathrobe to put on, and went to the refrigerator to get a drink.
He stood on the balcony, blowing the night wind blowing from time to time on the distant sea, and the scene he saw under the camera just now came to mind.
He had never seen Ye Yuxiao drowning before, but for some reason, he could tell from that one look that Ye Yuxiao was really drowning and not acting it up.
The pain shown on that disgusting face in front of the camera was like claws scratching his eyeballs, and he jumped off before he even had time to take off his clothes.
Fortunately...he clenched the wine bottle tightly, but luckily nothing serious happened.
Thinking that they had just quarreled that night, Lu Xianting felt a headache.Since Ye Yuxiao joined the group, the relationship between them has become more tense than before.Lu Xianting himself didn't know what went wrong, he was clearly able to handle this kind of relationship well before, but this time, he and Lu Ling obviously have nothing, why things are always going out of control develop?
Thinking of Lu Ling, he finally went back to his room to get his phone.But before dialing out, I saw several missed calls above, all from the same person.
He looked at the name blankly, thought for a while, and went back to the balcony to dial it.
"Hello! Xianting? You finally answered the phone! I heard what happened tonight. That kid Lu Ling is too naive. How is Mr. Ye? I heard he is fine? Is he awake? I am now Come here and apologize to him personally!" The voice of the man on the other end of the phone was very nervous, and Lu Xianting also heard the sound of glass falling to the ground.
"I just want to tell you about this. There is no need to apologize, but I will replace Lu Ling."
"Wait! Xianting, if the reason is just this mistake, will it be unreasonable?" Zhao Miao really panicked. Even though he is the boss of the brokerage company, he still dare not offend Lu Xianting.After all, the Ye family's status in this circle and Lu Xianting's own weight are not insignificant. He also hoped that Lu Ling could win Lu Xianting's favor, and that his subordinates would also be able to produce a popular niche.Who would have thought that he would have made such a big mess for him not long after joining the group.When Lu Ling's assistant reported this incident just now, he almost jumped up in anger.
"Whether Lu Ling did it on purpose or not, if I don't deal with it seriously, what will happen if there is a more serious accident next time?" Lu Xianting's tone was no longer stable.The scene of Ye Yuxiao's drowning has been lingering in his mind, unable to get rid of it.Not to mention that Ye Yuxiao was his other half in form, even the other actors in the crew, he couldn't allow this kind of obviously deliberate mistake.
"Xian Ting, calm down first. You said before that Lu Ling is very suitable for Hou Yue's image requirements. Now the filming is halfway done. If you change Lu Ling, you will have to prepare too many things again. It's too late to participate in Huanqiu. I will definitely punish Lu Ling severely for this matter, and he will never dare to do anything disrespectful to Mr. Ye again."
Zhao Miao spoke very excitedly, and even breathed a little.Lu Xianting clenched the railing tightly, the veins on the back of his hands crawled like winding earthworms.He didn't know how troublesome it would be to replace the leading actor, but he was neither deaf nor blind, and he could see Lu Ling's hostility towards Ye Yuxiao.It would be fine if it was just a small fight before, but it happened to be such a serious drowning accident.If he hadn't noticed the jump in time, who knows if Lu Ling would really toss Ye Yuxiao to the point of death before letting go?
Although he didn't want to believe that someone would do such a stupid act in public, but people have ulterior motives, who knows?
He was silent for a while, and Zhao Miao mistakenly thought that he was hesitating, so he hurriedly stepped up: "Xianting, Lu Ling really didn't do it on purpose. Although this child is an orphan, his nature is not bad, and he is only 19 years old. , What can you know? He admires you. When he knew that he could become the hero of the storm, you don’t know how long he hugged me and cried. Who can’t make mistakes? He just rushed a little bit, and felt that the performance would be effective. It would be better than holding hands, so don't blame him, give him another chance, right?"
Zhao Miao knew very well where Lu Xianting's Qicun was, and now he brought up Lu Ling's life experience just right, which really made Lu Xianting hesitate.
Huang Yelan was also an orphan. When he first met him, he was 19 years old.
Innocent, with bright emotions and anger, like a vigorous cloud, it will change into different forms every day, making Lu Xianting so obsessed with it that he cannot extricate himself.
Every time he thought of Huang Yelan, Lu Xianting's hatred for Ye Yuxiao would increase.
If Ye Yuxiao hadn't held the pheromone matching report back then, how could Lu Qi'an have forced him to give up Huang Yelan, and even used Huang Yelan's status as a wine accompaniment as an issue.What's wrong with the wine master? What happened to the beta?So what if Ye Yuxiao came from a noble family?So what if he saved his grandfather?Can this force him to repay with emotion?
"Xianting? Are you listening?" Seeing that he has been silent, Zhao Miao had no choice but to speak again.
"Come over tomorrow. I want Lu Ling to sign a guarantee. If such a vicious incident happens again, you will bear all the consequences."
Lu Xianting hung up the phone, picked up the wine bottle next to him and drank it in one gulp, and did not return to the room until he had completely calmed down.
Ye Yuxiao tilted her head, her clean shoulders were exposed, like a piece of fine suet jade under the wall lamp.Lu Xianting stood by the bed and watched him for a long time, until a sweet and rich citrus fragrance entered his breath, and he realized that it was Ye Yuxiao's pheromone smell.
They didn't spray the invisible agent after taking a bath. Thinking of this, Lu Xianting picked up the bottle that Ye Yuxiao put on the table, and was about to press it, when he was suddenly interrupted by a low moan.
It was an unconscious call, calling his name.
The person on the bed didn't wake up, but kicked off the quilt, revealing a large chest.When Lu Xianting saw him stretching his hands to his lower abdomen, he seemed a little uncomfortable, and his delicate eyebrows were all knit together.
He touched Ye Yuxiao's forehead, the temperature was higher than before.
He found an electronic thermometer from the medicine box Xie Yun brought back, and when he measured it under his arm, it showed 38.2.
He poured a glass of water, fed the fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by the accompanying doctor into Ye Yuxiao's mouth, and covered her with the quilt again.
"Xianting..." He was about to stand up when he felt his waist tighten.Looking back, Ye Yuxiao opened her eyes at some point, and her pale fingertips were grabbing the belt of his bathrobe.
"You have a fever, is there any other discomfort?" Lu Xianting put down his cup and said in a deep voice.
"My stomach hurts a bit." Ye Yuxiao clutched her lower abdomen, her weak expression was a little uneasy.
"Then I'll call the doctor."
"No, can you... can you stay with me?" He had just experienced drowning, and now he has a fever again, neither mentally nor physically can withstand the blow.He needs Lu Xianting's company more than a doctor.
Lu Xianting had never seen his weak appearance before, thinking that most of the crimes he suffered just now were caused by himself, Lu Xianting felt a little guilty.
"Okay, I'm not leaving, you go to sleep." Lu Xianting slowed down his tone, but he didn't know how attractive this rare thoughtfulness was to Ye Yuxiao.Enduring the abdominal pain, Ye Yuxiao lifted the quilt on his side: "Can you lie down and accompany me?"
Lu Xianting stared at him for a long time.
The relationship between them has been tense recently. Except for the last time Ye Yuxiao hurt her waist and he took care of her for a few nights, they basically haven't talked properly.Thinking of the last time, Lu Xianting felt more guilt, and it was also because of Lu Ling's "carelessness" last time.
He suddenly realized that he shouldn't have indulged Lu Ling so much. If he hadn't turned a blind eye, Ye Yuxiao wouldn't have suffered these crimes.
Although the relationship between them has been cold and distant these years, Ye Yuxiao has always kept his duty and has not brought him any negative influence.On the contrary, he himself has caused unnecessary disturbances frequently because of Lu Ling's matter recently, and Ye Yuxiao didn't make trouble with him because of this, and tried to maintain his face as much as possible.
After realizing this, Lu Xianting's attitude softened completely.
He fell beside Ye Yuxiao and didn't make any further moves, but Ye Yuxiao was very satisfied, and closed her eyes against him.
Neither of them spoke again, and no one moved, but this kind of peace did not last long.Ye Yuxiao took the antipyretics, and quickly fell asleep even though she felt uncomfortable, but Lu Xianting was very awake. After the citrus smell almost filled the whole room, he found that he couldn't calm down.
