Actor, is it a joke?

The auction has reached its climax one after another, and the collection that is being auctioned is a plaster bust statue of a figure that Lu Wang took out.The statue is well preserved, with smooth lines and natural color.A strong man with a bare upper body raised his head in pain, opened his mouth almost to the limit, and was roaring silently, his ferocious face and tense muscle texture erupted with a sense of strength.The name of the work fits the content, called "The Scream", and it was created by a famous contemporary Swiss sculptor who has passed away.

Collections are usually precious because of the death of their creators, and their value skyrockets because of their uniqueness.The business tycoons present, whether they want to spend some money to support Lu Wang, seek long-term development of partnerships, or sincerely pursue artistic pursuits and take a fancy to this collection, are all gearing up and eager to try.

As soon as the auctioneer quotes the reserve price, these people scramble to raise their placards to bid for the price, lest they be robbed of the limelight by others.The elites who have been in Vanity Fair all year round are not calm and magnanimous. They usually compete with each other openly and secretly. Now they have caught an excellent occasion where they can show off their wealth in a high-profile competition and win a charity. The reputation of an entrepreneur kills two birds with one stone, and all of them have made great efforts.The auction scene was tense for a moment, the aura was in full swing, and it was very lively.

This is a war of fame and fortune between businessmen and wealthy businessmen. Bai Ge and other entertainers who are at best just for decoration have no way to intervene, so they gather together one after another, greeting and chatting enthusiastically.

The reason why this auction was ingeniously chosen to be held in the open air is, on the one hand, to attract attention with a novel form, and on the other hand, to allow the guests to move freely in the venue to the greatest extent.There is no need to follow the seats arranged in advance for order considerations. These bidders from different industries can walk around anytime and anywhere, and have a comfortable chat with acquaintances and friends.

Baige had just finished an in-depth discussion with a junior in the entertainment industry about the advantages and disadvantages of participating in movies and TV dramas. Seeing that another colleague in the industry also came over to join the topic, he quickly picked up the champagne in his hand and apologized expression, got up and walked away.

As the previous gossip magazine said, Baige really doesn't have many friends in the circle, but he knows the rich second generations at the next table very well.But now the differences are clear, and no one intends to strike up a conversation.I hooked up with you before because of your status as the heir of Rongwang Group, but now you have withdrawn without saying a word, and you have no intention of coming back. Naturally, don't expect these people to pay more attention to you.

A few eyes fell on him, and Baige raised his glass to invite him and exchanged greetings.

Is that person doing well?When he turned around, he raised his wrist and looked at the time, frowning, somewhat absent-minded.It took a lot longer than expected... Could it be some difficult problem?Damn it, he shouldn't have let him go. When he heard about this plan for the first time, he felt that it was too risky and radical, with too many uncontrollable factors, and he could be in danger at any time if he was not careful.He persisted, but after a period of preparation and exploration, Xu Chengdu managed to make him compromise step by step like a frog being boiled in warm water...

There was a final sound effect from the booth, and someone successfully photographed the "Scream".The right eyelid twitched untimely at this time, if it hadn't been for the agreement with Xu Chengdu to quit smoking together, Baige would be so irritable that he could light a cigarette now instead of grinding the grass clippings under his feet with his leather shoes bit by bit.

The surrounding voices became more and more noisy, and Baige was disturbed, and believed that he walked further and further away, until he came to the lake.

The entire auction site is actually a circled piece of grass by the lake, surrounded by wooden piles on three sides, and facing the lake on one side, the scenery is fresh and unique.At this moment, the night wind is blowing over Yinxing Lake, the moonlight and the lights are shining together, the lake under the feet is green and clear during the day, but at this moment it is dark, perhaps because the fluctuating fragmented light on the surface is too dazzling, it seems that the lake below is getting darker and deeper. Bottomless.

Shaking the tulip-shaped closed goblet in his hand, the light yellow champagne liquid rippled along the glass wall, overflowing with brilliance under the refraction of the light, Baige took a sip lightly, staring at the lake in a daze , it seemed that there was some hidden Kanas water monster at the bottom of the water that attracted his full attention.

Everything is normal.

The gentle breeze in early autumn, the calm lake, and the harmonious auction.

Until a weak and slender lady screamed loudly with her somewhat vicissitudes of life: "Come on, come on, someone has fallen into the water!"

Those who were concentrating on the collections on the auction booth, those who chatted together, and those who lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, all turned their heads towards the source of the sound. Quite a few people recognized that the screaming lady was a singing and dancing All good singers.

"What are you looking at me for? Not on my side, there, I saw a white figure plummeting straight into the lake!" He stretched his arms as far as he could and pointed to the opposite side.

So all heads turned 180 degrees in unison, looking in the direction she pointed.

Some people who were close and reacted quickly had already rushed to the corner of the lake, and even saw a silver-gray sinking in the black lake at a glance.

"Mygod, someone really fell into the water!"

"Oh, that dress, isn't that Baige?!" Someone immediately recognized it.

"Baige? Is it Baige? God, why is it Baige? I said security! Someone fell into the water here! If you don't come to save people, you will drown! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. A young girl who was delicate from head to toe stomped her feet anxiously, and tears rolled in her eyes immediately. Everyone speculated that she might be a fan of Baige.

"Girl, don't worry, it's not sure who it is, maybe it's not your Baige."

"Whether it is or not, you guys, don't you guys know how to swim? Let's get him up first!" The girl rolled up her sleeves, as if she wished she could do it herself.

"Anyone can swim a little bit. The question is, is the lake deep?" A boss in a suit and leather shoes and glasses hesitated while taking off his shirt, "The security guards will be here soon, or we'll wait a little longer. , it will take a while."

When the group of people looked at each other at a loss, a figure suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the water, like a black sailfish in the water, as fast as lightning.

No one could see clearly from which direction he appeared out of thin air, and when he surfaced, people only saw him with one arm around Baige's neck, and the other hand cleaving the waves and struggling to swim to the shore.

"What are you doing here in a daze? Give me a hand!"

"Hey, what do you mean? Why did you push me? Why didn't you just go down to save people if you were capable?"

"Hey, Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't see well when I'm old, you are so generous..."

"Young man, hurry up, pass the person to me first."

Someone kindly offered a hand to the young man in black who quickly swam to the shore, but that man didn't appreciate it at all, with a cold face like a sculpture of ice, his white lips tightly pursed and he looked back with an unkind look.His eyes were full of cold stars and ice balls, and the cold wind blew by, the man shivered, and immediately retracted his hands.

Xu Chengdu lifted the person horizontally and put it flat on the shore, and with his elbows supported, he jumped out of the water easily with a "crash".

The surrounding crowd took a step back in unison, for fear that the lake water would splash on their expensive clothes.Xu Chengdu treated them all as transparent people, knelt beside Bai Ge, shook off the water from his hands, and patted his cheek lightly, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai?"

Baige was lying on his back with his eyes closed, his dripping hair scattered messily on his forehead and between his brows, his wet eyelashes stuck together and quietly stuck to his eyelids, without any sign of trembling and about to wake up.In the lake water at night in early autumn, the chill penetrated into the bone marrow. After waiting quietly for two seconds, the man's bloodless lips and pale skin amplified Xu Chengdu's uneasiness and fear a little bit.

He quickly bent down and leaned close to Baige's ear, combing Baige's drenched brown curly hair neatly behind his head, lowered his voice, and whispered at a volume that only allowed each other to hear: "Baige, plan You succeeded, stop acting. Wake up quickly. Hey, enough actor!"

He didn't realize that when he spoke, his vocal cords soaked in water trembled slightly.

Xu Chengdu has never been afraid of anything in his life, he is not afraid of bullets, he is not afraid of bleeding and wounds, when the god of death comes, he can calmly pass a cigarette, and ask the other party to lighten his hand with a good voice.But now, he felt unprecedented fear. In front of Baige, who was motionless and stiff like a dead man, this fear seized all his breath as soon as it appeared, and made him stunned.

"Get out of the way, everyone out of the way!" A blue-colored figure rushed over regardless of the crowd, pushed Xu Chengdu away with all his strength, and half picked up Baige.

At the same time, three ambulance personnel in white coats rushed to the hospital with a first aid kit, checked the heartbeat and pulse, and began to compress the lungs to perform routine cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Xu Chengdu sat on the ground in a daze, maintaining the posture in which Rong Yutang pushed him away and fell down, staring absently at the scene in front of him.His brain has now been flooded, and it has become a useless decoration, parked in the distance and rusted, completely unable to function.

He didn't even understand what went wrong. Could it be that Baige really couldn't swim?No, even if he doesn't know how to swim, from the time he fell into the water to the time he rushed to pick him up, he wouldn't have choked on the water and become unconscious in a short period of time, right?

"Doctor, doctor, don't press it, give him oxygen. It's not drowning, this child has a phobia of water." Rong Yutang's lean body shook like chaff, tears kept pouring out of his eyes, calm and calm Her aristocratic temperament has long been thrown into the lake, and now she is just a mother who is terrified by her son's unconsciousness.

But she, who has been strategizing in the business world all year round, still has her majesty, she can shed tears, her hands can shake, but there is no panic in her voice, she snapped: "Don't be stunned! Give him oxygen, he is about to suffocate, can't you see that?" ?”

Hearing this, the doctor hastily pulled out the oxygen bag, skillfully inserted a nasal catheter, fixed it with adhesive tape, and began to gently squeeze the oxygen bag.

Xu Chengdu listened in a daze, what did Rong Yutang just say?Baige has a phobia of water?Are you kidding me, why is Baige afraid of water?A bathing bathtub is as big as anyone, and a person who takes an artistic photo must be taken underwater, no matter how you look at it... Wait, a dim little spark suddenly flashed in the depths of memory.

He vaguely remembered that Bai Ge once said that he hated all rivers, lakes and seas in the world.

He snorted, because Baige's tone and expression at that time were exactly the same as that of a brat saying that I hate eating carrots.

As his thoughts intertwined, another layer of cold sweat broke out under Xu Chengdu's drenched shirt, because his dull brain remembered another thing, the car accident that happened to Bai's father and son back then.If he remembered correctly, the car broke through the railing and fell into the river. Baige escaped death, and Baige's father, Bai Qingrang, drowned at the bottom of the river.

In post-traumatic stress disorder, the intense stimulation of the feared object can cause extreme tension and convulsions, which can lead to closing of the airways and, in severe cases, suffocation.

Baige...why never mentioned it?

Xu Chengdu's right hand and pupils trembled uncontrollably together. He widened his eyes, fixedly staring at the sleeping Baige, imagining that a steady stream of transparent oxygen was squeezed into his nasal cavity through the catheter, and then entered the blood and Heart and lungs, wake up those cells that are on the verge of death.

This process was extremely slow and tormenting. All the sights and sounds from the outside world faded and blurred until they disappeared, leaving only a white grid lying there quietly in the whole world.

Xu Chengdu felt that his whole heart had been dug out and thrown into the boiling oil pan, cooking and frying over and over again, but no one came to rescue him, and the fire under the pan was getting hotter and hotter.

Until he saw Baige's Adam's Apple twitching under his pale skin.
