Chapter 66
Chapter 66
"Xian Ting, what's the matter with your voice? Are you sick?" Shen Jun held his mobile phone and stood smoking in the corridor.As soon as the phone was connected, I heard a cough, and then a hoarse voice came over weakly: "Well, I have a fever. What's the matter?"
Lu Xianting lay on the bed, and coughed again before he finished speaking.He had no choice but to sit up and take a few sips of ice water from the bedside table.
Shen Jun took a puff of cigarette, looked at the rising sun slowly outside the window and narrowed his eyes: "I just want to ask you how is it going, has Yu Xiao returned to your side?"
Lu Xianting sighed: "It's not that easy, I don't dare to force him anymore, I can only take it slowly."
"Okay, I can't help with this matter, you can do your best. But I have something to tell you. The old man Wang Song is finding fault again. He came to grab resources for the new script we negotiated before. I heard that He also made a deal with Huo Jingchen, planning to make Lu Ling and Huo Jingchen the two leading roles, acting opposite each other."
I don't know if he was choked by the news, Lu Xianting coughed a few more times, panting: "Full Fire is an action movie, it's not surprising that he found Huo Jingchen, but Lu Ling has no experience in this field at all. What's more The reputation of the previous incidents is stinky, and it was also hidden by Zhao Miao, how is this possible? Where did you get the news?"
Shen Jun pinched the burnt cigarette butt in the chimney, and glanced at the opposite side of the glass door.He is now in the building of the film company, and this news was leaked to him just now by a very close friend.
He didn't believe it at first, but the other party said that all the materials of Wang Song had been submitted for review.He immediately contacted Xu Rong and asked Xu Rong to investigate the matter.
Lu Xianting's next plan after filming "Jacaranda" is to film "Full Fire".This film is a remake of the novel of the same name, and the original work won the Star Cup Best Work Award last year.It mainly tells the story of a pair of gangsters who turned against each other because they fell in love with a girl at the same time. In the end, regardless of the previous suspicions, they worked together to steal back the national treasure that was illegally circulated in the underground auction market and returned it to the country.
Before Lu Xianting came to Geshu, he had almost talked with the original author Pan Leira and her team, leaving only some details to Shen Jun.Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Wang Song would have a way to deal with the other party?
Shen Jun told him not to worry, wait for Xu Rongcha's results first.Lu Xianting wanted to call Pan Leila, but Shen Jun said that Pan Leila had shut down, and he would find a way to block people today.
Lu Xianting rubbed his temples, his head hurt even more than before.Wang Song, a dead old man, always intentionally or unintentionally creates trouble behind his back.In the past, Lu Xianting respected him as a senior, and the incident with the script was indeed caused by his not giving in.But this is the way it is in this business. Everyone competes based on their strengths, and no one will give in just because of their seniority.
This kind of thing didn't just happen to him and Wang Song, other directors couldn't avoid it too.It's just that everyone can laugh it off when they meet after the fact. Who would be so narrow-minded like Wang Song, and he will get revenge.
Lu Xianting fell back on the bed, he was so tired that he fell asleep, but he couldn't calm down when Shen Jun made this phone call, so he had to take a bath again.
After rinsing under the shower head for a long time, he vaguely heard someone ringing the doorbell. After confirming that it was not an illusion, he closed the valve, wrapped the towel around his waist, and went to open the door.
But he didn't expect the person standing outside the door to be Ye Yuxiao.
Ye Yuxiao was holding a lunch box and nutritional supplements in her hands, and wanted to say something when the door opened.As soon as he saw his naked upper body, he stared straight at him, and turned his back to him.
Lu Xianting's mind was already quite dull, but now he saw an unexpected person, he couldn't react, he just stood there stupidly.
Ye Yuxiao waited for a few seconds, then turned away when she saw that there was no movement behind her, and found that Lu Xianting was still holding the doorknob, so she could only say, "Go in and get dressed."
Only then did Lu Xianting react, but he didn't follow through, and asked instead: "Why are you here? Are you worried about me?"
Ye Yuxiao didn't want to explain such a stupid question, so she handed him the things in her hand and was about to leave, but he stopped her.One of the two wanted to leave and the other wanted to stay. When their strength collided, he was forced to crash into Lu Xianting's arms.
The fever caused Lu Xianting's body temperature to be on the high side. Now that he had taken a hot bath without spraying the invisible agent, the fiery smell of pheromones came to him immediately.Ye Yuxiao felt her legs go weak before she even had time to react, she supported his arm and shook her head: "Let me go. Your smell..."
He didn't finish his sentence, Lu Xianting knew it when he saw him.Although I really want to continue hugging, but I also know that forcing him will only make him disgusted, so I drag him in to talk.
The smell of pheromones in the room was stronger. Ye Yuxiao staggered a few steps, and managed to hold on to the wall to stand still. Lu Xianting went to the bathroom and took the invisible agent and sprayed it from head to toe, and then took it out to the air. Spray, and go to open the window.
After finishing these, he took his shirt and trousers and went into the bathroom, and came out after changing.
Although his hair was still wet, he looked much safer than before.Ye Yuxiao took a moment to suppress the restless strange feeling in her body, and looked at Lu Xianting dissatisfied.
Lu Xianting stood in front of him without saying a word, as if he had done something wrong, but also seemed to be expecting him to say something, his expression was a bit tangled.
Seeing Ye Yuxiao like this, she felt that the anger in her heart flew away like a punctured balloon.I had to hand over the lunch box and nutritional supplements in my hand: "You should have a good rest after eating, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."
Lu Xianting didn't take it over, but still looked at him earnestly: "Yu Xiao, are you worried about me?"
He kept asking nonsense, Ye Yuxiao didn't want to pay attention to him, and saw that he was blushing unnaturally, breathing heavily, and his voice was hoarse than on the phone just now, so she could only say: "I just don't want you to fall here and no one will find out, just in case If there is any accident, grandpa will not be able to bear it."
He didn't think of changing his words for a while, and said the name he was used to.When Lu Xianting heard this, he beamed with joy: "Yu Xiao, I'm so happy! You still have me in your heart, don't you?"
Seeing that Lu Xianting brought the topic back to that matter again, Ye Yuxiao didn't want to stay any longer, and walked towards the door.Lu Xianting didn't stop him, and when he was about to open the door, he heard a muffled sound behind him.
He looked back and saw that Lu Xianting was leaning against the wall and fell to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing so hard that he couldn't stop.
He immediately went over to check, and Lu Xianting took the opportunity to hold him in his arms.The hot breath came into his nostrils again with a faint smell of pheromone, this time he couldn't push it away, Lu Xianting put all the weight of his upper body on his shoulders, and coughed violently in his ears.
He had no choice but to get Lu Xianting to lie on the bed.
Lu Xianting wasn't just pretending, he was so happy just now, he was really dizzy.Ye Yuxiao covered him with a quilt, looked at the glass with water droplets hanging on the bedside table and the ice bucket that had almost melted next to it, and frowned.Seeing a box of sushi that had been touched twice on the coffee table, he sighed helplessly.
Lu Xianting really doesn't have any common sense in life, he drinks ice water when he has a fever, and eats such indigestible and unnutritious food, how can his body bear it.
Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave again, Lu Xianting quickly grabbed his wrist and called his name hesitantly.
Ye Yuxiao didn't look back, and said calmly, "I'll get you something to eat."
Lu Xianting hesitated for a while before letting go, Ye Yuxiao really didn't leave, picked up the things she brought just now and went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and glanced, and found out what she found.
Lu Xianting's room is also a suite. Although the equipment in the kitchen is not as complete as at home, there is no problem with hot things.
Ye Yuxiao rolled up her sleeves, cleaned the milk pot, poured the milk from the refrigerator into it, and heated it together with the nutrient solution.He poured out the carrot and shredded chicken porridge in the lunch box, and tasted that the temperature was fine, so he waited for the milk to heat up and brought it to the bedside together.
Lu Xianting leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes following him.He handed over the bowl, and Lu Xianting raised the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect to be able to eat this in a foreign country."
This is his favorite porridge, and his mother would make it for him when he was sick when he was a child.He didn't know how Ye Yuxiao knew, anyway, this porridge was often served for breakfast at home.
He didn't take it seriously before, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that the food at home is basically what he likes to eat.
He likes spicy food, so the dishes at home are mostly heavy flavors.But Ye Yuxiao has a bad stomach and can't eat spicy food.
Thinking of this, Lu Xianting put down the bowl, looked at the person stirring milk for him by the bed, his throat felt a little sore.
There were so many things he couldn't see clearly before.The two lived together for seven years, and Ye Yuxiao never mentioned what Ye Yuxiao did for him, and he turned a blind eye because of hatred.Over time, this relationship was like a rubber band that was stretched tighter and tighter, and finally broke.
Thinking of the reason why Ye Yuxiao couldn't forgive him, he felt so uncomfortable that he didn't know what to do.In fact, he knew that even if it was found out who killed Ling Lan, their child would not come back.He thought about it more than once, what was Ye Yuxiao thinking when she fell off the plank road?How scared should you be?But what was he doing then?He is clarifying the scandal with others.
Lu Xianting endured the feeling of remorse, and subconsciously turned the ring ring of his ring finger with his thumb.It was their wedding ring, he never wore it before, it was kept by Ye Yuxiao, and he only put it on symbolically when he had dinner with his parents or when he was going to attend an event.
When they divorced later, Ye Yuxiao returned both rings to him, and said that he could do whatever he wanted.
He looked at the pair of wedding rings that were still brand new after seven years of purchase, and there was only one thought in his mind, that Ye Yuxiao had to wear them again.
Ye Yuxiao didn't notice Lu Xianting's absence, he carefully stirred the milk in the cup.Due to the addition of nutrients, it will condense into lumps if it is not stirred all the time.Although it will not affect the effect, but the taste will be much worse.
Lu Xianting is very picky about his food.
But he stopped after stirring for a while.Lu Xianting held his hand, his bloodshot eyes were full of indescribable emotions.Seeing him flustered, the cup almost knocked over on the bed.
"Yu Xiao..." Lu Xianting hesitated and opened his mouth.
Ye Yuxiao wanted to break away from his hand, but when she saw that he was coughing again, she had no choice but to give up: "Eat quickly, go to bed after eating, don't think about anything if you are so sick."
"Then can you stay with me? I can't sleep alone." Lu Xianting looked at him earnestly, that cautious look reminded him of Xia Xia who asked for snacks every time.He handed the cup to Lu Xianting: "You're a three-year-old kid making such an excuse?"
"I'm not making excuses, it's really hard. Dizzy, hot and cold, look, I'm sweating again." He pulled Ye Yuxiao's hand to his forehead and let Ye Yuxiao touch his. body temperature.
Ye Yuxiao's fingers curled up, but she still couldn't break free in the end. She rubbed his forehead to test the temperature.
That slightly cool hand seemed to carry a cool wind, along the touching skin, seeping into the hot mind.Lu Xianting snorted comfortably and coughed a few more times.
Ye Yuxiao tested the temperature and found that Lu Xianting was indeed burning badly.He took out the thermometer and took the temperature under Lu Xianting's armpit. It was over 40 degrees.
"No, I'd better call an ambulance." He took out his mobile phone to call, but Lu Xianting held it down: "No, I'm actually tired. I'll take medicine after eating, and I should be fine after I sleep. "
Ye Yuxiao was worried, but he insisted so much that he had to give up.After watching him eat, he helped him to lie down, went to the bathroom and twisted a wet towel to physically cool down.
Lu Xianting stared at it again, Ye Yuxiao was very uncomfortable with this kind of gaze, she emphasized several times that Lu Xianting refused to restrain herself, so she could only force herself to ignore it, don't care so much about a patient.
He changed the towel several times, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Lu Xianting fell into a deep sleep.I took another temperature measurement and found that the temperature has dropped a little.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the shadow drawn by the wall lamp by the bedside on the facial features of the man, a familiar emotion grew in his heart.
He clenched the towel tightly, forcing himself not to think about it, and stayed with him all afternoon, until the evening when Lu Xianting's fever was almost subsided, he quietly left and went back to his room to change clothes.
BYRON said that there are not many opportunities to be free, and insisted on treating him to dinner tonight.He wanted to decline, but couldn't resist BYRON's enthusiasm, so he had to go to the appointment.When he arrived at the appointed restaurant, he was surprised by the person sitting next to BYRON.
The face that he thought he would never see again in this life suddenly reflected in the depths of his pupils, like a cluster of flames, igniting all kinds of painful memories.
Among them, Lu Xianting had the most misunderstandings and quarrels with him because of this person.
Perhaps sensing his arrival, the man raised his head and smiled joyfully at him.
