Give you a hundred million, come back to me
Chapter 24
The call that day seemed to be just an ordinary greeting call, and Xia Lichu didn't dare to ask Xu Zhuoyan directly if he saw something he shouldn't have seen, so he could only speculate in his heart.
When people think too much, it is easy to get distracted.Xia Lichu is a dedicated artist, and he doesn't want to affect his work because of personal affairs, but he still can't avoid being distracted once or twice during filming.Seeing that he was not in good condition, Shi Lei didn't force him, so he let him go back to rest first.
Xia Lichu went straight back to the hotel.
Seeing that he was out of his mind, Qiao Zhen asked, "Are you too tired recently?"
Xia Lichu shot three commercials in a row yesterday, and finished work late at night, and arrived at the set at eight o'clock this morning. The time is very tight, and I'm afraid I don't get enough sleep.
Xia Lichu shook his head, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Fortunately, it's just that I'm not in the right state today, and I can't concentrate. I'll be fine tomorrow when I go back to sleep."
After returning to the room, Xia Lichu first took a bath.The body is soaked in warm water, Xia Lichu is playing with the bubbles in the water, his eyes don't have a focus, and his mind is like a lump of paste.
After much deliberation, he was still uneasy, he took the mobile phone on the stool and dialed Shen Ze's number.There was some noise from Shen Ze's side, he walked to a quiet corner before talking to Xia Lichu.
"Investigate me?" Shen Ze thought for a while and replied, "Probably not."
Xia Lichu expressed the worry in his heart, "He must still remember you, I am worried that he will recognize you and make trouble for you."
Shen Ze comforted: "Don't worry, he didn't do anything to me back then, and it's even more impossible now. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself first."
Xia Lichu slapped the surface of the water, gritted his teeth, and said, "It doesn't matter to me. I don't have a good image in his eyes. Let's do it again. At worst, I'll leave."
Shen Ze asked directly: "Are you willing?"
How could it be worth it?But if you don't want to, you have to be willing.There are some things that he is destined to never be able to tell Xu Zhuoyan in his life. He came here once in the past, and he can bear it again now. What's more, he still has some savings in his hand, and the taro balls are so big. Life will not be more sad than before. .
Xu Zhuoyan's desk was full of documents about a man, and he flipped through the thin papers indifferently. This document also appeared on his desk four years ago.Resisting the unspeakable anger in his heart, he looked carefully at every word above again.
After many years, Xia Lichu is still involved with this man named Shen Ze, or the contact between the two has never been broken.
Many years ago, Xia Lichu left gracefully, and now Xia Lichu came back with a downcast child, Xu Zhuoyan had no choice but to guess what happened during that period, no matter what Xia Lichu became, he could not change the years Xu Zhuoyan devoted to him.
When Xu Zhuoyan first met Xia Lichu, Xu Zhuoyan's first reaction was to enclose people in his territory. He loved him and hated him, but he wanted to get him but was unwilling to take that step because of his self-esteem. He hypnotized himself as if it was money to buy Came back with an expensive bauble.
But how could the decoration have such a big influence on him?Xu Zhuoyan will never be able to be completely cruel to Xia Lichu, even when he gritted his teeth and recovered, he still has a little thought of Xia Lichu in his heart.
What really broke his thoughts was the photo of Xia Lichu having sex with Shen Ze again.
That photo was kept very well by Xu Zhuoyan, and it was cut from the middle and put in an album that carried the memories of him and Xia Lichu.
He couldn't be cruel to Xia Lichu, but he was cruel enough to himself.
Xu Zhuoyan put away the materials carefully, his eyes were radiant with coldness, his facial features were indifferent and delicate like a sculpture, he still maintained his dignity, like Mr. Xu who can control the situation at the negotiating table.
Yu Wenman brought some snacks for Xu Zhuoyan, she knocked on the door before pushing in.Xu Zhuoyan had already put his emotions in order, and he could chat with Yu Wenman calmly while eating snacks.
The day after tomorrow, Xu Zhuoyan was about to leave the United States. Yu Wenman still didn't give up, but she didn't dare to be as tough as last time, and she spoke softly. She thought Xu Zhuoyan would refuse again, but she didn't expect him to agree to be with some of them. See you next time.
Yu Wenman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she patted the back of Xu Zhuoyan's hand, her eyes showed some relief, "Mom didn't tell you to choose one as a marriage partner, I'm not a bad person, I'm going to harm other girls, You first see if you feel it, you are my son, and I know very well that your youth enlightenment teacher is a woman."
There was no special emotion in Xu Zhuoyan's eyes like ink, "I know."
Yu Wenman didn't know what made Xu Zhuoyan suddenly change her mind, but she only knew that her goal had been achieved. As a mother, there was nothing wrong with wanting her children to live an ordinary life.
Yu Wenman smiled softly, "Zhuo Yan, you actually know what is right and what is wrong, right? I'm glad you finally figured it out."
Xu Zhuoyan looked at her steadfastly, and Yu Wenman met his gaze without hesitation, open and frank, with a mother's gentle love for her child in her eyes.
Before Xu Zhuoyan got on the plane, Liang Yu called again, to the effect that someone asked him if he was coming back.Liang Yu made the call with a smile. Xu Zhuoyan was in a good mood and her salary was high.
But this time, what Liang Yu heard was Xu Zhuoyan's cold voice, "I want to know when I'll come back and ask him to call himself, there will be no time for this."
Liang Yu was stunned, and restrained his smile, saying that he would convey Xu Zhuoyan's meaning.
The observation during this period made Liang Yu very sure that Xia Lichu and Xu Zhuoyan would officially be together in the end.She is responsible for conveying some of Xu Zhuoyan's meanings, but the scale needs to be figured out by her.Xu Zhuoyan's tone was very bad. Liang Yu is a smart person, and he didn't convey this emotion to Xia Lichu when he conveyed it.
"He really said that?" In fact, Xia Lichu also really wanted to call Xu Zhuoyan.
If he was in the past, he would definitely call whenever he wanted to, but now he always has a lot of concerns, thinking that this is inappropriate, and that it is inappropriate, so that every time Xu Zhuoyan is on a business trip, the number of calls he has with the other party will not exceed Three times, no more than 3 minutes each time.
"Yes," Liang Yu gave an affirmative answer, and added, "But Mr. Xu is already on the plane, you can call him after he gets off the plane."
Xia Lichu kept the words in his heart, Xu Zhuoyan's flight was coming, and then he thought about whether to go back to Haishi, anyway, he didn't have any role in these two days.There are two reasons for wanting to go back to find Xu Zhuoyan, the main reason is that he misses him, and the secondary reason is that he wants to find out Xu Zhuoyan's attitude.
Xu Zhuoyan arrived in Haishi the next afternoon. The long flight made him mentally exhausted. He didn't want to return to Linshan for the time being, so he asked the driver to drive the car back to Xu's old house. He fell asleep while still in the car. His dream was full of That heart-wrenching face.There is a familiar voice, all kinds of emotions exist, and my brother and Mr. Xu are interspersed in the dream.
The Xu family's old house is in the outer suburbs. The huge house is entrenched in the mountains. It is adjacent to a green lake in the front and a green mountain in the back. There are many houses of aristocratic families scattered in this area, and the Xu family occupies a large area.
The younger generations of the Xu family have all moved out of the old house. Now only the old man and the old lady live in the old house all year round. They are both [-] years old. You can see lush flowers and trees.
Xu Zhuoyan's room was in the annex building, and the old man and the old lady of the Xu family lived in the main building, so he went to the main building to talk to the two elders for a while.The two old people didn't expect Xu Zhuoyan to come over suddenly. Among their grandchildren, they like this child the most. He is good-looking and capable, so they naturally prefer him.
The old lady hadn't seen him for two months, and now she was smiling from ear to ear, holding his hand and not letting him leave, and she had to let the aunt at home prepare a table of meals.Xu Zhuoyan didn't want to disobey the old man's wishes, and he was really hungry, so he stayed in the main building.
Mostly the old lady pulled Xu Zhuoyan to talk, while the old man was studying his chess records, and he could feel that he was paying attention to this side from the occasional eyes.
Xu Zhuoyan was about to pour a cup of tea for the old lady when the phone in his pocket vibrated.
The old lady took the teapot and poured the three cups to [-]% full, and said, "If you have anything to do, answer the phone first."
Xu Zhuoyan looked at the name on the screen with vague eyes, and wanted to hang up the phone.
The old lady urged again, "What are you looking at, kid? This is the second time."
Only then did Xu Zhuoyan answer the phone. He restrained his tone and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Xia Lichu on the other end of the phone had a sweet smile on his face, and was stunned for a moment when he heard his indifferent voice. This indifference seemed to be different from before.
He got up from the bed, sat up straight, curled his fingers together, and asked carefully, "Did I bother you?"
Xu Zhuoyan replied: "No, if nothing happens, I'll hang up."
"There is something to do," Xu Zhuoyan's tone made Xia Lichu unsure, and he asked, "Have you returned yet?"
Xu Zhuoyan didn't know what he was thinking at the time, so he blurted out a lie, "No."
Xia Lichu thought about the flight information in the memorandum, he had already returned, and he had confirmed it with Liang Yu.He wanted to ask the question, but suddenly thought of another possibility, so he swallowed it back.
He followed Xu Zhuoyan's words and said, "Then can you tell me when you come back?"
Xu Zhuoyan was silent for a long time, just when Xia Lichu thought he would not get a reply, the other party gave a positive answer.
After putting down the phone, the elders really had a look in their eyes.
The old lady had a straightforward temper, and asked directly with a smile: "Girlfriend?"
Xu Zhuoyan denied, "Grandma, don't think too much, I'm just an ordinary friend."
Listening to his answer, the old lady muttered: "Then why are you lying to others? I think you look like you have quarreled with your girlfriend, and you are having trouble."
Xu Zhuoyan replied with silence, the old lady didn't force him, young people have young people's thoughts, she really loves this good grandson, Xu Zhuoyan was in a car accident and stayed in the hospital for half a year, although she didn't know what happened, but After all, it can still be guessed that it has something to do with her unreliable son and daughter-in-law.
Why did Xu Zhuoyan lie to him?Xia Lichu held his mobile phone and thought about this question. He held the mobile phone uneasily, thinking whether he should call Xu Zhuoyan again, but this thought was immediately pushed back.
Xia Lichu is not good at guessing minds, but it doesn't mean he has no brains.
Xu Zhuoyan's performance was abnormal. Since the two met, although Xu Zhuoyan often spoke sarcastically, he could still feel a faint heat beneath the coldness, but just now he was really indifferent.
There is only one thing that happened recently, and the directivity can no longer be obvious.
Xia Lichu took a deep breath, he was suddenly a little scared, but he didn't know what to do, he was also in pain, but he didn't know who to tell this pain to, he had no way to tell Xu Zhuoyan, and he had no way to find Shen Ze confides.
In the final analysis, it was Xia Lichu who was too ruthless back then, and then pushed himself to a dead end. He never thought of leaving a way out for this relationship. If it wasn't for this unexpected reunion in Haishi, this relationship would definitely never be seen again. to the sun.
Xia Lichu buried himself in the quilt, his eyes were a little wet.He has already told the director that he will return to Haishi in these two days, and he doesn't want to waste these two days.Xia Lichu tightened the pillow, he was going to find Xu Zhuoyan, what if the other party didn't see those photos?
In some respects, Xia Lichu is an activist.In the early morning of the next day, he couldn't wait to buy the nearest ticket and got on the train back to Haishi. He only left a WeChat message for Qiao Zhen and Xiao Li.
Qiao Zhen almost scolded people when he saw this news, it was too messy, he didn’t take it alone, and went to make a second-class bullet train, the high-speed rail station was full of people, it was crazy.
When Xia Lichu received Qiao Zhen's call, he had already taken a taxi. He calmly accepted Qiao Zhen's scolding, and then obediently admitted his mistake.
Qiao Zhen was just worried about him, "It's fine if you don't bring anyone with you, anyway, you should tell me in advance, what's the matter just telling the director?"
Xia Lichu behaved very well-behaved, "I planned to talk to you today, but I really missed Mr. Xu so much, I wanted to go back to Haishi quickly, and I was afraid that calling in the morning would disturb your sleep, so I sent a message. "
This reason seems plausible.
Qiao Zhen caught another key word, she said suspiciously: "You said you miss Mr. Xu?"
Xia Lichu was stunned for a moment, didn't expect her to grasp this point, hesitated for a while and said: "Well, we haven't seen each other for almost a week, of course I miss him."
Qiao Zhen hesitated to speak, "No... Isn't this saying that you can't have true feelings? Li Chu, my sister has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has seen everything. Don't cross the line too much."
After all, this is Xia Lichu's own emotional problem, even Qiao Zhen's manager can only remind him here.She was not optimistic about Xia Lichu and Xu Zhuoyan, apart from other things, the gender was wrong.No matter how open the Xu family is, it is impossible for the heir to be with a man.
The master at the front suddenly said, "Young man, have you decided where to go?"
He has circled the field twice.
It is now 08:30, and Xia Lichu's intuition tells Xia Lichu that Xu Zhuoyan is not in Linshan, but he doesn't know the rest of Xu Zhuoyan's properties, so after thinking about it, he can only go back to Linshan first.
When Xia Lichu arrived home, there was no one at home.He took out a bag of toast from the refrigerator, heated it casually, made another glass of milk, and after a simple breakfast, he figured out how to find Xu Zhuoyan.
If the other party is determined not to meet, then Xia Lichu doesn't need to plan anything.
But Xia Lichu felt that Xu Zhuoyan would not do this.
Counting the jet lag, Xia Lichu made another phone call at ten o'clock.
The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly hoarse, and his attitude seemed to soften a lot. When he woke up, he admitted that he was in Haishi. Xia Lichu didn't find out the loopholes in his words. He only said that he was also in Haishi now, and he missed him and wanted to see him. .
Xu Zhuoyan was silent for a long time when he heard the words, he propped himself up from the bed, glanced at the stack of documents from the corner of his eyes, his expression was vague, and his thin lips parted slightly, "Do you really miss me?"
Xia Lichu's heart beat faster but he spoke the truth forcefully, "Of course."
Xu Zhuoyan laughed, Xia Lichu didn't understand what this smile meant.
After laughing, Xu Zhuoyan said: "Okay, then I'll send someone to pick you up."
The driver soon arrived downstairs. Xia Lichu had been talking with Xu Zhuoyan all the way, and the two chatted at random. Unfortunately, Xia Lichu forgot to charge his phone last night, so he had to say goodbye and hang up.
When driving into the mountain pass, Xia Lichu felt that the scenery here was somewhat familiar, but at the same time felt strange. It was not until he arrived within the range of Xu's old house that he knew where the familiar feeling came from.
Xia Lichu's face suddenly became very bad. He asked the driver to stop the car, and then borrowed the other party's mobile phone to contact Xu Zhuoyan again.
Xu Zhuoyan happened to be soaking in honey water, and his body temperature was a little high this morning, so he wanted to drink something hot. When he connected the phone, there was an urgent and nervous voice over there.
"Are your uncle and aunt at home?"
"Not here." Xu Zhuoyan replied, stirring the spoon.
"I just suddenly felt that if they were here, I should prepare some gifts." Xia Lichu found a reasonable excuse for his strange question.
Xu Zhuoyan was mentally weak, and didn't have much thought to analyze Xia Lichu's weirdness.
As soon as Xia Lichu got off the car, a servant came to guide the way, and the two of them walked through the corridors to the auxiliary building, which was Xu Zhuoyan's residence.
Xu Zhuoyan was sitting on a black leather sofa. He was wearing a navy blue sweater, with a newspaper between his slender fingers, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose, and his long legs crossed.The warm autumn sun hit him through the huge glass windows, adding a softness to his sharp temperament.
"Sit." Xu Zhuoyan coughed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"You have a cold?" Xia Lichu subconsciously asked.
Xu Zhuoyan looked away from the newspaper, even through a layer of lenses, his eyes were still cold enough, "It's just a little cold."
Xia Lichu didn't think so, Xu Zhuoyan was usually as strong as a cow, and it would be difficult to recover when he caught a cold and had a fever.Anyway, the two of them have nothing to say now, Xia Lichu asked the servant to take him to the kitchen without seeing anything.
Xu Zhuoyan hesitated to speak, and finally let Xia Lichu go.
The ingredients in the small kitchen are very complete. Xia Lichu made a rock sugar pear. He was a little greedy, so he simply made two, one for each of them, just right.
Xu Zhuoyan in the side hall couldn't read the words in the newspaper for a long time. He coughed twice, and his heart became more and more irritable. In a place where Xia Lichu couldn't see, he crumpled up the newspaper and threw it into the trash can, then got up and went back to the room.
He needs to calm down for a while.
So when Xia Lichu brought two servings of rock candy pears, the side hall was already empty.
The servant reminded, "Sir, the young master has returned to his room."
Xia Lichu asked: "Which floor is his room on?"
The auxiliary building is not bigger than the main building, but its structure is still complicated. The servant led Xia Lichu to a room on the third floor. Xia Lichu opened the door and entered. He probed his head and observed for a while, but found that there was no sound.
He walked in gradually, and finally found Xu Zhuoyan on the bed.
Xu Zhuoyan was really tired, and he didn't wake up even when someone approached him.
Xia Lichu struggled for a while, but sat on the edge of the bed and felt the temperature of Xu Zhuoyan's forehead with his hand, it was really hot.No wonder Xu Zhuoyan's complexion was a little off just now.
Half an hour later, the housekeeper and two personal doctors surrounded Xu Zhuoyan. After the doctor did a series of examinations, they left a few medicines and told the housekeeper what to pay attention to in terms of diet, and then left the bedroom.
Xia Lichu didn't expect that today's meeting would turn out like this. He sat on the sofa to minimize his presence, but he was still noticed by the dark-faced person on the bed.
"come over."
How fierce, Xia Lichu thought in his heart, but what he showed was that he walked over obediently.
Xu Zhuoyan looked up at Xia Lichu and asked, "Did you call the doctor?"
Xia Lichu nodded.
The corners of Xu Zhuoyan's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Okay, you will be responsible for the medicine later."
Xia Lichu knew that his old problem was about to recur, so he whispered, "I'll be in charge of feeding you, how about it?"
Xu Zhuoyan was very annoyed to take medicine, especially the liquid Western medicine with the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine. More often, he would prefer to take a direct injection to solve the problem.
Seeing that Xu Zhuoyan didn't respond, Xia Lichu said again: "You won't get better if you don't drink the medicine, you are not a child anymore."
"Xia Lichu, why do you care about me?" Xu Zhuoyan blurted out in his usual flat and emotionless tone.
The sudden words made Xia Lichu stunned, and Xu Zhuoyan's face also flashed a little unnatural.
Xia Lichu blinked and smiled, "You gave me so much money, it's my job to care about my big customers."
This answer suddenly touched Xu Zhuoyan's pain point, so the irritability that had been suppressed with great difficulty burst out in an instant. He looked directly at Xia Lichu, and the words he said were too indifferent, "So you still remember that I am your benefactor, Now that you understand your identity, don't do things you shouldn't do, such as cheating, I don't want to experience it on you a second time."
Xu Zhuoyan's words were like thunder on the ground.
Xia Lichu was so stunned by those words, he couldn't maintain his superficial peace at all, and the blood on his face faded. Xu Zhuoyan still didn't say it clearly, but Xia Lichu understood the meaning contained in it.
"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I haven't, and I won't." Xia Lichu said with a trembling voice, defending himself now, and defending himself in the past.
Xu Zhuoyan looked deeply at Xia Lichu. Apart from indifference, there were other heavy and complicated emotions in those eyes. His voice was low but powerful, "It's better not to."
Xia Lichu met the person as he wished, and got the answer.
The thing he was most worried about still happened, but the development of things was different from what he had imagined.
Except for the plausible warning, Xu Zhuoyan didn't say a single redundant word.
Qiao Zhen thought that Xia Lichu was so excited to go to Haishi, and he should be in excellent condition when he came back. However, she saw Xia Lichu with red and swollen eyes the next night, and she was so scared that she hurriedly pushed him back to the room.
"He bullied you?" Qiao Zhen asked anxiously.
"No," Xia Lichu burst into tears with a smile, "I was just wondering if I did something wrong before."
Qiao really believed that he was a ghost. She helped Xia Lichu wipe away her tears, and said with concern: "It's all over, and I can't change it. If you feel that you made a mistake, then just don't make the same mistake again."
It's different, Xia Lichu has always been pushed forward by others, he couldn't decide his own destiny before, and maybe he still can't decide in the future, so the mistake he made once will make a second time.
With Xia Lichu in such a state, it was impossible to film the next day.
Qiao Zhen personally went to Shi Lei's place to ask for leave, and said that Xia Lichu had been running a high fever since he came back last night, so he might not be able to shoot today.
Xia Lichu didn't have a high fever, just a low-grade fever, which probably got it from Xu Zhuoyan.
Liang Yu looked at Xia Lichu's dire situation and didn't understand what happened between the two of them. She hired a doctor and told Xu Zhuoyan about it in a blink of an eye.
"Sick again?" Xu Zhuoyan spoke in a hurry and coughed twice.
Liang Yu reported truthfully, "Mr. Xia's condition was not right after he came back. When I went to see him this morning, his eyes were swollen badly and he kept coughing. He must have caught a cold."
Xu Zhuoyan was silent for a while before asking: "Did you call the doctor?"
Liang Yu replied, "Yes."
Xu Zhuoyan sat on the office chair and stared at a little lost in thought.That's right, Xia Lichu has been in poor health, and he must have cried for a long time when he said such heavy words that day.He exhaled lightly, thought for a moment, then picked up his coat and left the study.
Xia Lichu fell into a drowsy sleep after taking the medicine, it was still a nightmare, he slept uncomfortably, his brows were always frowning, but no one came to rescue him.
Suddenly, a familiar smell lingered in his nose, and Xia Lichu subconsciously felt that this person was reliable and reassuring, and a different body temperature touched his cheek, he rubbed it greedily, and finally came out of the nightmare break free.
It was already night when Xia Lichu woke up, the heavy curtains blocked all the light, he walked to the window barefoot, opened the curtains, and opened the windows completely, the cool autumn wind hit his face.
When the lights came on outside, and the stars shone brightly in the night, Xia Lichu's heart gradually calmed down.He had just had a very beautiful dream, in which there was a gentle Mr. Xu.
Suddenly there was the sound of the door lock turning in the silent space, Xia Lichu looked towards the door vigilantly, the door was opened, a tall and straight man stood there with the backlight, the light from the living room cast a soft light on him faint.
Xia Lichu opened his eyes wide and stood there dumbfounded, his mind was like a rusty scrap machine, completely unable to function.
Why is Xu Zhuoyan here?
Xia Lichu thought that he would not be able to meet Xu Zhuoyan for a while.
Holding a dinner plate in his hand, Xu Zhuoyan raised his hand to turn on the light in the room. The bedroom was instantly bright as day, and the two could see each other clearly.
Xu Zhuoyan said: "Come out to eat when you wake up."
It was only then that Xia Lichu noticed that what he was dragging in his hand was a dinner plate with a bowl of porridge and a plate of buns on it.
Xu Zhuoyan's eyes lingered on Xia Lichu's body, and finally fixed on those white feet, he frowned, "Put on your shoes, come out quickly."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the scene behind him and turned around to go to the living room.
What is the situation?Xia Lichu was at a loss, he clearly remembered that Xu Zhuoyan was still angry the day before yesterday, why did he have such an attitude today?
Xia Lichu came to the living room with a restless heart. Xu Zhuoyan dressed very casually today. He only wore a sweater indoors, and his coat was draped on the sofa.
Xu Zhuoyan only issued a simple order for Xia Lichu to finish eating.
Xia Lichu was still running a fever and had no appetite. Even though Xu Zhuoyan stared at him, he managed to finish the porridge. He only ate two buns. Seeing that he couldn't finish it, Xu Zhuoyan ate the rest of the buns.
After eating, the two sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke.
Xu Zhuoyan looked at the person sitting in front of him, his face was not big at all, but he lost some weight in just two days of tossing around, that's it, this person always softened his heart, he couldn't really get angry with him at all.
It's just that when he heard that Xia Lichu was ill, Xu Zhuoyan didn't think about anything, put down his work and rushed over immediately.
Not to mention that Xia Lichu didn't know what Xu Zhuoyan was doing, Xu Zhuoyan himself didn't know what he was doing either.
Everything was so inexplicable, but both of them connived those things to happen in the same way.
It was Xia Lichu who broke the silence. He stood up and changed his position to be next to Xu Zhuoyan. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand, then lightly touched Xu Zhuoyan's forehead.
Xia Lichu turned his body sideways, his clear eyes with water vapor focused on a man with a cold face, and said: "You still say that you are not well, did you secretly pour the medicine again?" gone?"
It was the same voice as in the dream, soft, soft and sweet.Pulling Xu Zhuoyan's heart was beating and itching, as if it had a small hook, so he couldn't help but get close to its owner.
Xu Zhuoyan bowed his head and looked at each other.
Xu Zhuoyan said slowly: "Do you still want to continue this relationship?"
Again without warning.
Xia Lichu thought for a while before he understood what he was talking about.In Xu Zhuoyan's eyes, he was considering the feasibility of this suggestion.
He added, "I won't accept the money..."
"Go on."
Before Xu Zhuoyan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a firm voice. Xia Lichu was a little agitated, and he repeated: "Go on."
Xu Zhuoyan rubbed the center of his brows, squinting at Xia Lichu, "I said, I won't get that [-] million back, and I won't take back your resources either."
Xia Lichu just repeated those few words, "Go on."
He could only rely on this deformed relationship to bind Xu Zhuoyan, he didn't want to be separated from Xu Zhuoyan so soon, and he didn't want to see someone else appear by Xu Zhuoyan's side when he was still by his side.
There are too many things that Xia Lichu can't bear.
Xu Zhuoyan seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, his eyes sparkled, "Okay, I will still ask the same as before. I won't touch you, but you can't go to someone else either."
When he said the last sentence, there was a lot of meaning in his words.
What Xu Zhuoyan said was a spur-of-the-moment idea, since his heart will soften when he grasps it, it's better to give up completely and settle the matter.But he didn't expect Xia Lichu to be unwilling, so he continued. With such a relationship, it would not have any impact on his life.
Under Xia Lichu's strong request, Xu Zhuoyan drank a portion of the same medicine as him, and the taste was much normal, barely acceptable.
Xu Zhuoyan still stayed overnight in Xia Lichu's room.The next day, Xu Zhuoyan woke up much earlier than Xia Lichu. In the dim light, his eyes lingered on Xia Lichu's face for a few seconds, and then he reached out to check the temperature of his forehead, and it was no longer hot.
Xu Zhuoyan still had a very important meeting to attend in the afternoon. Being able to stay in the film and television city until this point was the limit. He got up lightly, washed up, and left the hotel with his assistant.
When Xia Lichu woke up, he thought he had a big dream. If it wasn't for the missing expensive watch on the bedside table that proved the authenticity of everything, he would definitely think so.
Xu Zhuoyan sent a message to Xia Lichu on the way, telling him where he was going.
Qiao was really worried about Xia Lichu, and ran to Xia Lichu's room after nine o'clock. Seeing that he looked good, she slowly put it down.
Qiao Zhen chatted with Xia Lichu while looking at today's announcement, "I thought you had a fight with Mr. Xu, but seeing his worried look yesterday, I knew I was wrong."
Xia Lichu asked uncertainly: "Is he worried about me?"
Qiao Zhen looked at him like a fool, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that."
So Xia Lichu's little heart, which had been tortured a little for the past two days, regained its vitality, and felt that he could hold on for a long time.
At the beginning of November, the filming of "Forgotten River" gradually shifted from the film and television city to the surrounding mountains.Now that the weather is cool, it is perfect for outdoor shooting. "Forgotten River" is expected to wrap up at the end of December, and the filming location will be transferred again in December, going to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The crew transported the equipment to the destination early in the morning. This area is full of forests. This is the outskirts of the forest. There are many farmers in the surrounding area. The three meals of the crew are basically settled among the farmers.
There are often film crews here to shoot scenes. The villagers have long been familiar with the stars, and only children come to the set to join in the fun.
This is the season when persimmons and oranges grow just right.Chang Ji bought a lot of fruit, cut them into pieces and packed them in boxes to distribute to everyone.
Persimmons are crisp persimmons, crunchy and sweet after one bite. When Xia Lichu was resting, Qiao Zhen let him eat most of the box without watching him. Seeing that he wanted to eat more, Qiao Zhen quickly snatched his box and handed it to sunny.
Qiao Zhen started to think about it again, "Xia Lichu, remember that you are a star. Look at anyone on the set who eats like this."
Even the tall Qi Xiao only ate a few slices with restraint.
Xia Lichu hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sister Qiao, I understand."
Qiao Zhen didn't want to talk to him for the time being, she told Qingqing to keep an eye on Xia Lichu, and she went to order food at the neighboring farmer's house.Xia Li's fever only subsides at the beginning, and his cold is still not healed, so he has to pay attention to what he eats.
Farmhouse meals always have a different taste. Shi Lei has always been generous in food, and there are many dishes for lunch, but Xia Lichu can only eat light food, such as stir-fried shredded lettuce, barley balls and the like.
Qiao Zhen whispered to him: "Let me tell you, this is Mr. Xu's order. You must know that I am just a subordinate. If you have any opinions, you can go to him."
Since it was Xu Zhuoyan's order, no matter how simple it was, it would be delicious.
When filming on the mountain, it takes a lot more time to go back and forth to the hotel than when shooting interior scenes. When Xia Li first arrived at the hotel, it was already late at night.
Qiao Zhen told him that the hard days had just begun.
The temperature will drop by the end of November, but the exterior shooting must not be finished yet.At that time, I had to go out early and return late in the temperature of several degrees.
Xia Lichu didn't really care about these things, this was his routine when he was in Rongcheng.
Qiao Zhen sent him back to the room, and didn't intend to leave immediately, with a serious expression on his face, as if he wanted to discuss something important with Xia Lichu.
Xia Lichu poured her a glass of water, and asked, "Sister Qiao, do you have anything to say to me?"
Qiao Zhen tapped her thigh with her fingers and said, "There are some things that I shouldn't have interfered with, but I still want to give you some reminders."
Just listening to the beginning, Xia Lichu knew what she was going to say, "Are you going to talk about me and Mr. Xu?"
Qiao Zhen nodded, her voice was very slow, with a reassuring belief, "I don't mean to interfere in this relationship, after all, I'm just an outsider, I just don't feel at ease about your state. I said before that I told you not to care about it so that you would not be sad in the future, but if you care about it, it will be different. Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will not hurt yourself, okay?"
Xia Li picked up his cup and took a sip of water, then lowered his eyes and said, "I won't hurt myself, I still have children, I can clearly distinguish the priorities."
This is just a small episode, and the filming of "Forget River" is still going on.
There are many big names in the crew, and the shooting progress has entered the later stage, so many media came to visit the crew. The media mainly circled around the two protagonists, and occasionally gave Xia
When people think too much, it is easy to get distracted.Xia Lichu is a dedicated artist, and he doesn't want to affect his work because of personal affairs, but he still can't avoid being distracted once or twice during filming.Seeing that he was not in good condition, Shi Lei didn't force him, so he let him go back to rest first.
Xia Lichu went straight back to the hotel.
Seeing that he was out of his mind, Qiao Zhen asked, "Are you too tired recently?"
Xia Lichu shot three commercials in a row yesterday, and finished work late at night, and arrived at the set at eight o'clock this morning. The time is very tight, and I'm afraid I don't get enough sleep.
Xia Lichu shook his head, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Fortunately, it's just that I'm not in the right state today, and I can't concentrate. I'll be fine tomorrow when I go back to sleep."
After returning to the room, Xia Lichu first took a bath.The body is soaked in warm water, Xia Lichu is playing with the bubbles in the water, his eyes don't have a focus, and his mind is like a lump of paste.
After much deliberation, he was still uneasy, he took the mobile phone on the stool and dialed Shen Ze's number.There was some noise from Shen Ze's side, he walked to a quiet corner before talking to Xia Lichu.
"Investigate me?" Shen Ze thought for a while and replied, "Probably not."
Xia Lichu expressed the worry in his heart, "He must still remember you, I am worried that he will recognize you and make trouble for you."
Shen Ze comforted: "Don't worry, he didn't do anything to me back then, and it's even more impossible now. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself first."
Xia Lichu slapped the surface of the water, gritted his teeth, and said, "It doesn't matter to me. I don't have a good image in his eyes. Let's do it again. At worst, I'll leave."
Shen Ze asked directly: "Are you willing?"
How could it be worth it?But if you don't want to, you have to be willing.There are some things that he is destined to never be able to tell Xu Zhuoyan in his life. He came here once in the past, and he can bear it again now. What's more, he still has some savings in his hand, and the taro balls are so big. Life will not be more sad than before. .
Xu Zhuoyan's desk was full of documents about a man, and he flipped through the thin papers indifferently. This document also appeared on his desk four years ago.Resisting the unspeakable anger in his heart, he looked carefully at every word above again.
After many years, Xia Lichu is still involved with this man named Shen Ze, or the contact between the two has never been broken.
Many years ago, Xia Lichu left gracefully, and now Xia Lichu came back with a downcast child, Xu Zhuoyan had no choice but to guess what happened during that period, no matter what Xia Lichu became, he could not change the years Xu Zhuoyan devoted to him.
When Xu Zhuoyan first met Xia Lichu, Xu Zhuoyan's first reaction was to enclose people in his territory. He loved him and hated him, but he wanted to get him but was unwilling to take that step because of his self-esteem. He hypnotized himself as if it was money to buy Came back with an expensive bauble.
But how could the decoration have such a big influence on him?Xu Zhuoyan will never be able to be completely cruel to Xia Lichu, even when he gritted his teeth and recovered, he still has a little thought of Xia Lichu in his heart.
What really broke his thoughts was the photo of Xia Lichu having sex with Shen Ze again.
That photo was kept very well by Xu Zhuoyan, and it was cut from the middle and put in an album that carried the memories of him and Xia Lichu.
He couldn't be cruel to Xia Lichu, but he was cruel enough to himself.
Xu Zhuoyan put away the materials carefully, his eyes were radiant with coldness, his facial features were indifferent and delicate like a sculpture, he still maintained his dignity, like Mr. Xu who can control the situation at the negotiating table.
Yu Wenman brought some snacks for Xu Zhuoyan, she knocked on the door before pushing in.Xu Zhuoyan had already put his emotions in order, and he could chat with Yu Wenman calmly while eating snacks.
The day after tomorrow, Xu Zhuoyan was about to leave the United States. Yu Wenman still didn't give up, but she didn't dare to be as tough as last time, and she spoke softly. She thought Xu Zhuoyan would refuse again, but she didn't expect him to agree to be with some of them. See you next time.
Yu Wenman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she patted the back of Xu Zhuoyan's hand, her eyes showed some relief, "Mom didn't tell you to choose one as a marriage partner, I'm not a bad person, I'm going to harm other girls, You first see if you feel it, you are my son, and I know very well that your youth enlightenment teacher is a woman."
There was no special emotion in Xu Zhuoyan's eyes like ink, "I know."
Yu Wenman didn't know what made Xu Zhuoyan suddenly change her mind, but she only knew that her goal had been achieved. As a mother, there was nothing wrong with wanting her children to live an ordinary life.
Yu Wenman smiled softly, "Zhuo Yan, you actually know what is right and what is wrong, right? I'm glad you finally figured it out."
Xu Zhuoyan looked at her steadfastly, and Yu Wenman met his gaze without hesitation, open and frank, with a mother's gentle love for her child in her eyes.
Before Xu Zhuoyan got on the plane, Liang Yu called again, to the effect that someone asked him if he was coming back.Liang Yu made the call with a smile. Xu Zhuoyan was in a good mood and her salary was high.
But this time, what Liang Yu heard was Xu Zhuoyan's cold voice, "I want to know when I'll come back and ask him to call himself, there will be no time for this."
Liang Yu was stunned, and restrained his smile, saying that he would convey Xu Zhuoyan's meaning.
The observation during this period made Liang Yu very sure that Xia Lichu and Xu Zhuoyan would officially be together in the end.She is responsible for conveying some of Xu Zhuoyan's meanings, but the scale needs to be figured out by her.Xu Zhuoyan's tone was very bad. Liang Yu is a smart person, and he didn't convey this emotion to Xia Lichu when he conveyed it.
"He really said that?" In fact, Xia Lichu also really wanted to call Xu Zhuoyan.
If he was in the past, he would definitely call whenever he wanted to, but now he always has a lot of concerns, thinking that this is inappropriate, and that it is inappropriate, so that every time Xu Zhuoyan is on a business trip, the number of calls he has with the other party will not exceed Three times, no more than 3 minutes each time.
"Yes," Liang Yu gave an affirmative answer, and added, "But Mr. Xu is already on the plane, you can call him after he gets off the plane."
Xia Lichu kept the words in his heart, Xu Zhuoyan's flight was coming, and then he thought about whether to go back to Haishi, anyway, he didn't have any role in these two days.There are two reasons for wanting to go back to find Xu Zhuoyan, the main reason is that he misses him, and the secondary reason is that he wants to find out Xu Zhuoyan's attitude.
Xu Zhuoyan arrived in Haishi the next afternoon. The long flight made him mentally exhausted. He didn't want to return to Linshan for the time being, so he asked the driver to drive the car back to Xu's old house. He fell asleep while still in the car. His dream was full of That heart-wrenching face.There is a familiar voice, all kinds of emotions exist, and my brother and Mr. Xu are interspersed in the dream.
The Xu family's old house is in the outer suburbs. The huge house is entrenched in the mountains. It is adjacent to a green lake in the front and a green mountain in the back. There are many houses of aristocratic families scattered in this area, and the Xu family occupies a large area.
The younger generations of the Xu family have all moved out of the old house. Now only the old man and the old lady live in the old house all year round. They are both [-] years old. You can see lush flowers and trees.
Xu Zhuoyan's room was in the annex building, and the old man and the old lady of the Xu family lived in the main building, so he went to the main building to talk to the two elders for a while.The two old people didn't expect Xu Zhuoyan to come over suddenly. Among their grandchildren, they like this child the most. He is good-looking and capable, so they naturally prefer him.
The old lady hadn't seen him for two months, and now she was smiling from ear to ear, holding his hand and not letting him leave, and she had to let the aunt at home prepare a table of meals.Xu Zhuoyan didn't want to disobey the old man's wishes, and he was really hungry, so he stayed in the main building.
Mostly the old lady pulled Xu Zhuoyan to talk, while the old man was studying his chess records, and he could feel that he was paying attention to this side from the occasional eyes.
Xu Zhuoyan was about to pour a cup of tea for the old lady when the phone in his pocket vibrated.
The old lady took the teapot and poured the three cups to [-]% full, and said, "If you have anything to do, answer the phone first."
Xu Zhuoyan looked at the name on the screen with vague eyes, and wanted to hang up the phone.
The old lady urged again, "What are you looking at, kid? This is the second time."
Only then did Xu Zhuoyan answer the phone. He restrained his tone and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Xia Lichu on the other end of the phone had a sweet smile on his face, and was stunned for a moment when he heard his indifferent voice. This indifference seemed to be different from before.
He got up from the bed, sat up straight, curled his fingers together, and asked carefully, "Did I bother you?"
Xu Zhuoyan replied: "No, if nothing happens, I'll hang up."
"There is something to do," Xu Zhuoyan's tone made Xia Lichu unsure, and he asked, "Have you returned yet?"
Xu Zhuoyan didn't know what he was thinking at the time, so he blurted out a lie, "No."
Xia Lichu thought about the flight information in the memorandum, he had already returned, and he had confirmed it with Liang Yu.He wanted to ask the question, but suddenly thought of another possibility, so he swallowed it back.
He followed Xu Zhuoyan's words and said, "Then can you tell me when you come back?"
Xu Zhuoyan was silent for a long time, just when Xia Lichu thought he would not get a reply, the other party gave a positive answer.
After putting down the phone, the elders really had a look in their eyes.
The old lady had a straightforward temper, and asked directly with a smile: "Girlfriend?"
Xu Zhuoyan denied, "Grandma, don't think too much, I'm just an ordinary friend."
Listening to his answer, the old lady muttered: "Then why are you lying to others? I think you look like you have quarreled with your girlfriend, and you are having trouble."
Xu Zhuoyan replied with silence, the old lady didn't force him, young people have young people's thoughts, she really loves this good grandson, Xu Zhuoyan was in a car accident and stayed in the hospital for half a year, although she didn't know what happened, but After all, it can still be guessed that it has something to do with her unreliable son and daughter-in-law.
Why did Xu Zhuoyan lie to him?Xia Lichu held his mobile phone and thought about this question. He held the mobile phone uneasily, thinking whether he should call Xu Zhuoyan again, but this thought was immediately pushed back.
Xia Lichu is not good at guessing minds, but it doesn't mean he has no brains.
Xu Zhuoyan's performance was abnormal. Since the two met, although Xu Zhuoyan often spoke sarcastically, he could still feel a faint heat beneath the coldness, but just now he was really indifferent.
There is only one thing that happened recently, and the directivity can no longer be obvious.
Xia Lichu took a deep breath, he was suddenly a little scared, but he didn't know what to do, he was also in pain, but he didn't know who to tell this pain to, he had no way to tell Xu Zhuoyan, and he had no way to find Shen Ze confides.
In the final analysis, it was Xia Lichu who was too ruthless back then, and then pushed himself to a dead end. He never thought of leaving a way out for this relationship. If it wasn't for this unexpected reunion in Haishi, this relationship would definitely never be seen again. to the sun.
Xia Lichu buried himself in the quilt, his eyes were a little wet.He has already told the director that he will return to Haishi in these two days, and he doesn't want to waste these two days.Xia Lichu tightened the pillow, he was going to find Xu Zhuoyan, what if the other party didn't see those photos?
In some respects, Xia Lichu is an activist.In the early morning of the next day, he couldn't wait to buy the nearest ticket and got on the train back to Haishi. He only left a WeChat message for Qiao Zhen and Xiao Li.
Qiao Zhen almost scolded people when he saw this news, it was too messy, he didn’t take it alone, and went to make a second-class bullet train, the high-speed rail station was full of people, it was crazy.
When Xia Lichu received Qiao Zhen's call, he had already taken a taxi. He calmly accepted Qiao Zhen's scolding, and then obediently admitted his mistake.
Qiao Zhen was just worried about him, "It's fine if you don't bring anyone with you, anyway, you should tell me in advance, what's the matter just telling the director?"
Xia Lichu behaved very well-behaved, "I planned to talk to you today, but I really missed Mr. Xu so much, I wanted to go back to Haishi quickly, and I was afraid that calling in the morning would disturb your sleep, so I sent a message. "
This reason seems plausible.
Qiao Zhen caught another key word, she said suspiciously: "You said you miss Mr. Xu?"
Xia Lichu was stunned for a moment, didn't expect her to grasp this point, hesitated for a while and said: "Well, we haven't seen each other for almost a week, of course I miss him."
Qiao Zhen hesitated to speak, "No... Isn't this saying that you can't have true feelings? Li Chu, my sister has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has seen everything. Don't cross the line too much."
After all, this is Xia Lichu's own emotional problem, even Qiao Zhen's manager can only remind him here.She was not optimistic about Xia Lichu and Xu Zhuoyan, apart from other things, the gender was wrong.No matter how open the Xu family is, it is impossible for the heir to be with a man.
The master at the front suddenly said, "Young man, have you decided where to go?"
He has circled the field twice.
It is now 08:30, and Xia Lichu's intuition tells Xia Lichu that Xu Zhuoyan is not in Linshan, but he doesn't know the rest of Xu Zhuoyan's properties, so after thinking about it, he can only go back to Linshan first.
When Xia Lichu arrived home, there was no one at home.He took out a bag of toast from the refrigerator, heated it casually, made another glass of milk, and after a simple breakfast, he figured out how to find Xu Zhuoyan.
If the other party is determined not to meet, then Xia Lichu doesn't need to plan anything.
But Xia Lichu felt that Xu Zhuoyan would not do this.
Counting the jet lag, Xia Lichu made another phone call at ten o'clock.
The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly hoarse, and his attitude seemed to soften a lot. When he woke up, he admitted that he was in Haishi. Xia Lichu didn't find out the loopholes in his words. He only said that he was also in Haishi now, and he missed him and wanted to see him. .
Xu Zhuoyan was silent for a long time when he heard the words, he propped himself up from the bed, glanced at the stack of documents from the corner of his eyes, his expression was vague, and his thin lips parted slightly, "Do you really miss me?"
Xia Lichu's heart beat faster but he spoke the truth forcefully, "Of course."
Xu Zhuoyan laughed, Xia Lichu didn't understand what this smile meant.
After laughing, Xu Zhuoyan said: "Okay, then I'll send someone to pick you up."
The driver soon arrived downstairs. Xia Lichu had been talking with Xu Zhuoyan all the way, and the two chatted at random. Unfortunately, Xia Lichu forgot to charge his phone last night, so he had to say goodbye and hang up.
When driving into the mountain pass, Xia Lichu felt that the scenery here was somewhat familiar, but at the same time felt strange. It was not until he arrived within the range of Xu's old house that he knew where the familiar feeling came from.
Xia Lichu's face suddenly became very bad. He asked the driver to stop the car, and then borrowed the other party's mobile phone to contact Xu Zhuoyan again.
Xu Zhuoyan happened to be soaking in honey water, and his body temperature was a little high this morning, so he wanted to drink something hot. When he connected the phone, there was an urgent and nervous voice over there.
"Are your uncle and aunt at home?"
"Not here." Xu Zhuoyan replied, stirring the spoon.
"I just suddenly felt that if they were here, I should prepare some gifts." Xia Lichu found a reasonable excuse for his strange question.
Xu Zhuoyan was mentally weak, and didn't have much thought to analyze Xia Lichu's weirdness.
As soon as Xia Lichu got off the car, a servant came to guide the way, and the two of them walked through the corridors to the auxiliary building, which was Xu Zhuoyan's residence.
Xu Zhuoyan was sitting on a black leather sofa. He was wearing a navy blue sweater, with a newspaper between his slender fingers, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose, and his long legs crossed.The warm autumn sun hit him through the huge glass windows, adding a softness to his sharp temperament.
"Sit." Xu Zhuoyan coughed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"You have a cold?" Xia Lichu subconsciously asked.
Xu Zhuoyan looked away from the newspaper, even through a layer of lenses, his eyes were still cold enough, "It's just a little cold."
Xia Lichu didn't think so, Xu Zhuoyan was usually as strong as a cow, and it would be difficult to recover when he caught a cold and had a fever.Anyway, the two of them have nothing to say now, Xia Lichu asked the servant to take him to the kitchen without seeing anything.
Xu Zhuoyan hesitated to speak, and finally let Xia Lichu go.
The ingredients in the small kitchen are very complete. Xia Lichu made a rock sugar pear. He was a little greedy, so he simply made two, one for each of them, just right.
Xu Zhuoyan in the side hall couldn't read the words in the newspaper for a long time. He coughed twice, and his heart became more and more irritable. In a place where Xia Lichu couldn't see, he crumpled up the newspaper and threw it into the trash can, then got up and went back to the room.
He needs to calm down for a while.
So when Xia Lichu brought two servings of rock candy pears, the side hall was already empty.
The servant reminded, "Sir, the young master has returned to his room."
Xia Lichu asked: "Which floor is his room on?"
The auxiliary building is not bigger than the main building, but its structure is still complicated. The servant led Xia Lichu to a room on the third floor. Xia Lichu opened the door and entered. He probed his head and observed for a while, but found that there was no sound.
He walked in gradually, and finally found Xu Zhuoyan on the bed.
Xu Zhuoyan was really tired, and he didn't wake up even when someone approached him.
Xia Lichu struggled for a while, but sat on the edge of the bed and felt the temperature of Xu Zhuoyan's forehead with his hand, it was really hot.No wonder Xu Zhuoyan's complexion was a little off just now.
Half an hour later, the housekeeper and two personal doctors surrounded Xu Zhuoyan. After the doctor did a series of examinations, they left a few medicines and told the housekeeper what to pay attention to in terms of diet, and then left the bedroom.
Xia Lichu didn't expect that today's meeting would turn out like this. He sat on the sofa to minimize his presence, but he was still noticed by the dark-faced person on the bed.
"come over."
How fierce, Xia Lichu thought in his heart, but what he showed was that he walked over obediently.
Xu Zhuoyan looked up at Xia Lichu and asked, "Did you call the doctor?"
Xia Lichu nodded.
The corners of Xu Zhuoyan's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Okay, you will be responsible for the medicine later."
Xia Lichu knew that his old problem was about to recur, so he whispered, "I'll be in charge of feeding you, how about it?"
Xu Zhuoyan was very annoyed to take medicine, especially the liquid Western medicine with the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine. More often, he would prefer to take a direct injection to solve the problem.
Seeing that Xu Zhuoyan didn't respond, Xia Lichu said again: "You won't get better if you don't drink the medicine, you are not a child anymore."
"Xia Lichu, why do you care about me?" Xu Zhuoyan blurted out in his usual flat and emotionless tone.
The sudden words made Xia Lichu stunned, and Xu Zhuoyan's face also flashed a little unnatural.
Xia Lichu blinked and smiled, "You gave me so much money, it's my job to care about my big customers."
This answer suddenly touched Xu Zhuoyan's pain point, so the irritability that had been suppressed with great difficulty burst out in an instant. He looked directly at Xia Lichu, and the words he said were too indifferent, "So you still remember that I am your benefactor, Now that you understand your identity, don't do things you shouldn't do, such as cheating, I don't want to experience it on you a second time."
Xu Zhuoyan's words were like thunder on the ground.
Xia Lichu was so stunned by those words, he couldn't maintain his superficial peace at all, and the blood on his face faded. Xu Zhuoyan still didn't say it clearly, but Xia Lichu understood the meaning contained in it.
"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I haven't, and I won't." Xia Lichu said with a trembling voice, defending himself now, and defending himself in the past.
Xu Zhuoyan looked deeply at Xia Lichu. Apart from indifference, there were other heavy and complicated emotions in those eyes. His voice was low but powerful, "It's better not to."
Xia Lichu met the person as he wished, and got the answer.
The thing he was most worried about still happened, but the development of things was different from what he had imagined.
Except for the plausible warning, Xu Zhuoyan didn't say a single redundant word.
Qiao Zhen thought that Xia Lichu was so excited to go to Haishi, and he should be in excellent condition when he came back. However, she saw Xia Lichu with red and swollen eyes the next night, and she was so scared that she hurriedly pushed him back to the room.
"He bullied you?" Qiao Zhen asked anxiously.
"No," Xia Lichu burst into tears with a smile, "I was just wondering if I did something wrong before."
Qiao really believed that he was a ghost. She helped Xia Lichu wipe away her tears, and said with concern: "It's all over, and I can't change it. If you feel that you made a mistake, then just don't make the same mistake again."
It's different, Xia Lichu has always been pushed forward by others, he couldn't decide his own destiny before, and maybe he still can't decide in the future, so the mistake he made once will make a second time.
With Xia Lichu in such a state, it was impossible to film the next day.
Qiao Zhen personally went to Shi Lei's place to ask for leave, and said that Xia Lichu had been running a high fever since he came back last night, so he might not be able to shoot today.
Xia Lichu didn't have a high fever, just a low-grade fever, which probably got it from Xu Zhuoyan.
Liang Yu looked at Xia Lichu's dire situation and didn't understand what happened between the two of them. She hired a doctor and told Xu Zhuoyan about it in a blink of an eye.
"Sick again?" Xu Zhuoyan spoke in a hurry and coughed twice.
Liang Yu reported truthfully, "Mr. Xia's condition was not right after he came back. When I went to see him this morning, his eyes were swollen badly and he kept coughing. He must have caught a cold."
Xu Zhuoyan was silent for a while before asking: "Did you call the doctor?"
Liang Yu replied, "Yes."
Xu Zhuoyan sat on the office chair and stared at a little lost in thought.That's right, Xia Lichu has been in poor health, and he must have cried for a long time when he said such heavy words that day.He exhaled lightly, thought for a moment, then picked up his coat and left the study.
Xia Lichu fell into a drowsy sleep after taking the medicine, it was still a nightmare, he slept uncomfortably, his brows were always frowning, but no one came to rescue him.
Suddenly, a familiar smell lingered in his nose, and Xia Lichu subconsciously felt that this person was reliable and reassuring, and a different body temperature touched his cheek, he rubbed it greedily, and finally came out of the nightmare break free.
It was already night when Xia Lichu woke up, the heavy curtains blocked all the light, he walked to the window barefoot, opened the curtains, and opened the windows completely, the cool autumn wind hit his face.
When the lights came on outside, and the stars shone brightly in the night, Xia Lichu's heart gradually calmed down.He had just had a very beautiful dream, in which there was a gentle Mr. Xu.
Suddenly there was the sound of the door lock turning in the silent space, Xia Lichu looked towards the door vigilantly, the door was opened, a tall and straight man stood there with the backlight, the light from the living room cast a soft light on him faint.
Xia Lichu opened his eyes wide and stood there dumbfounded, his mind was like a rusty scrap machine, completely unable to function.
Why is Xu Zhuoyan here?
Xia Lichu thought that he would not be able to meet Xu Zhuoyan for a while.
Holding a dinner plate in his hand, Xu Zhuoyan raised his hand to turn on the light in the room. The bedroom was instantly bright as day, and the two could see each other clearly.
Xu Zhuoyan said: "Come out to eat when you wake up."
It was only then that Xia Lichu noticed that what he was dragging in his hand was a dinner plate with a bowl of porridge and a plate of buns on it.
Xu Zhuoyan's eyes lingered on Xia Lichu's body, and finally fixed on those white feet, he frowned, "Put on your shoes, come out quickly."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the scene behind him and turned around to go to the living room.
What is the situation?Xia Lichu was at a loss, he clearly remembered that Xu Zhuoyan was still angry the day before yesterday, why did he have such an attitude today?
Xia Lichu came to the living room with a restless heart. Xu Zhuoyan dressed very casually today. He only wore a sweater indoors, and his coat was draped on the sofa.
Xu Zhuoyan only issued a simple order for Xia Lichu to finish eating.
Xia Lichu was still running a fever and had no appetite. Even though Xu Zhuoyan stared at him, he managed to finish the porridge. He only ate two buns. Seeing that he couldn't finish it, Xu Zhuoyan ate the rest of the buns.
After eating, the two sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke.
Xu Zhuoyan looked at the person sitting in front of him, his face was not big at all, but he lost some weight in just two days of tossing around, that's it, this person always softened his heart, he couldn't really get angry with him at all.
It's just that when he heard that Xia Lichu was ill, Xu Zhuoyan didn't think about anything, put down his work and rushed over immediately.
Not to mention that Xia Lichu didn't know what Xu Zhuoyan was doing, Xu Zhuoyan himself didn't know what he was doing either.
Everything was so inexplicable, but both of them connived those things to happen in the same way.
It was Xia Lichu who broke the silence. He stood up and changed his position to be next to Xu Zhuoyan. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand, then lightly touched Xu Zhuoyan's forehead.
Xia Lichu turned his body sideways, his clear eyes with water vapor focused on a man with a cold face, and said: "You still say that you are not well, did you secretly pour the medicine again?" gone?"
It was the same voice as in the dream, soft, soft and sweet.Pulling Xu Zhuoyan's heart was beating and itching, as if it had a small hook, so he couldn't help but get close to its owner.
Xu Zhuoyan bowed his head and looked at each other.
Xu Zhuoyan said slowly: "Do you still want to continue this relationship?"
Again without warning.
Xia Lichu thought for a while before he understood what he was talking about.In Xu Zhuoyan's eyes, he was considering the feasibility of this suggestion.
He added, "I won't accept the money..."
"Go on."
Before Xu Zhuoyan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a firm voice. Xia Lichu was a little agitated, and he repeated: "Go on."
Xu Zhuoyan rubbed the center of his brows, squinting at Xia Lichu, "I said, I won't get that [-] million back, and I won't take back your resources either."
Xia Lichu just repeated those few words, "Go on."
He could only rely on this deformed relationship to bind Xu Zhuoyan, he didn't want to be separated from Xu Zhuoyan so soon, and he didn't want to see someone else appear by Xu Zhuoyan's side when he was still by his side.
There are too many things that Xia Lichu can't bear.
Xu Zhuoyan seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, his eyes sparkled, "Okay, I will still ask the same as before. I won't touch you, but you can't go to someone else either."
When he said the last sentence, there was a lot of meaning in his words.
What Xu Zhuoyan said was a spur-of-the-moment idea, since his heart will soften when he grasps it, it's better to give up completely and settle the matter.But he didn't expect Xia Lichu to be unwilling, so he continued. With such a relationship, it would not have any impact on his life.
Under Xia Lichu's strong request, Xu Zhuoyan drank a portion of the same medicine as him, and the taste was much normal, barely acceptable.
Xu Zhuoyan still stayed overnight in Xia Lichu's room.The next day, Xu Zhuoyan woke up much earlier than Xia Lichu. In the dim light, his eyes lingered on Xia Lichu's face for a few seconds, and then he reached out to check the temperature of his forehead, and it was no longer hot.
Xu Zhuoyan still had a very important meeting to attend in the afternoon. Being able to stay in the film and television city until this point was the limit. He got up lightly, washed up, and left the hotel with his assistant.
When Xia Lichu woke up, he thought he had a big dream. If it wasn't for the missing expensive watch on the bedside table that proved the authenticity of everything, he would definitely think so.
Xu Zhuoyan sent a message to Xia Lichu on the way, telling him where he was going.
Qiao was really worried about Xia Lichu, and ran to Xia Lichu's room after nine o'clock. Seeing that he looked good, she slowly put it down.
Qiao Zhen chatted with Xia Lichu while looking at today's announcement, "I thought you had a fight with Mr. Xu, but seeing his worried look yesterday, I knew I was wrong."
Xia Lichu asked uncertainly: "Is he worried about me?"
Qiao Zhen looked at him like a fool, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that."
So Xia Lichu's little heart, which had been tortured a little for the past two days, regained its vitality, and felt that he could hold on for a long time.
At the beginning of November, the filming of "Forgotten River" gradually shifted from the film and television city to the surrounding mountains.Now that the weather is cool, it is perfect for outdoor shooting. "Forgotten River" is expected to wrap up at the end of December, and the filming location will be transferred again in December, going to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The crew transported the equipment to the destination early in the morning. This area is full of forests. This is the outskirts of the forest. There are many farmers in the surrounding area. The three meals of the crew are basically settled among the farmers.
There are often film crews here to shoot scenes. The villagers have long been familiar with the stars, and only children come to the set to join in the fun.
This is the season when persimmons and oranges grow just right.Chang Ji bought a lot of fruit, cut them into pieces and packed them in boxes to distribute to everyone.
Persimmons are crisp persimmons, crunchy and sweet after one bite. When Xia Lichu was resting, Qiao Zhen let him eat most of the box without watching him. Seeing that he wanted to eat more, Qiao Zhen quickly snatched his box and handed it to sunny.
Qiao Zhen started to think about it again, "Xia Lichu, remember that you are a star. Look at anyone on the set who eats like this."
Even the tall Qi Xiao only ate a few slices with restraint.
Xia Lichu hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sister Qiao, I understand."
Qiao Zhen didn't want to talk to him for the time being, she told Qingqing to keep an eye on Xia Lichu, and she went to order food at the neighboring farmer's house.Xia Li's fever only subsides at the beginning, and his cold is still not healed, so he has to pay attention to what he eats.
Farmhouse meals always have a different taste. Shi Lei has always been generous in food, and there are many dishes for lunch, but Xia Lichu can only eat light food, such as stir-fried shredded lettuce, barley balls and the like.
Qiao Zhen whispered to him: "Let me tell you, this is Mr. Xu's order. You must know that I am just a subordinate. If you have any opinions, you can go to him."
Since it was Xu Zhuoyan's order, no matter how simple it was, it would be delicious.
When filming on the mountain, it takes a lot more time to go back and forth to the hotel than when shooting interior scenes. When Xia Li first arrived at the hotel, it was already late at night.
Qiao Zhen told him that the hard days had just begun.
The temperature will drop by the end of November, but the exterior shooting must not be finished yet.At that time, I had to go out early and return late in the temperature of several degrees.
Xia Lichu didn't really care about these things, this was his routine when he was in Rongcheng.
Qiao Zhen sent him back to the room, and didn't intend to leave immediately, with a serious expression on his face, as if he wanted to discuss something important with Xia Lichu.
Xia Lichu poured her a glass of water, and asked, "Sister Qiao, do you have anything to say to me?"
Qiao Zhen tapped her thigh with her fingers and said, "There are some things that I shouldn't have interfered with, but I still want to give you some reminders."
Just listening to the beginning, Xia Lichu knew what she was going to say, "Are you going to talk about me and Mr. Xu?"
Qiao Zhen nodded, her voice was very slow, with a reassuring belief, "I don't mean to interfere in this relationship, after all, I'm just an outsider, I just don't feel at ease about your state. I said before that I told you not to care about it so that you would not be sad in the future, but if you care about it, it will be different. Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will not hurt yourself, okay?"
Xia Li picked up his cup and took a sip of water, then lowered his eyes and said, "I won't hurt myself, I still have children, I can clearly distinguish the priorities."
This is just a small episode, and the filming of "Forget River" is still going on.
There are many big names in the crew, and the shooting progress has entered the later stage, so many media came to visit the crew. The media mainly circled around the two protagonists, and occasionally gave Xia
