Play bone

The doctor who consulted left, leaving only the middle-aged woman by the bedside.

Lu Li already knew that she was Xiaolu's mother.The hostess of a single-parent family is often very strong and calm, but it is inevitable to work harder and vicissitudes.Lu Li felt that she looked familiar, but he didn't know if he had seen her somewhere, or if Xiaolu's nostalgia was still in his mind.

During the 24 hours after waking up, Lu Li didn't say a word, as if he had transformed into a plant.In fact, he was sorting out the old memories that moved with his soul into the new body.

The ward has become a meditation cave facing the wall, and he is like a pious monk who copied scriptures, digging out the memories that were not cherished or even deliberately forgotten in the past, repaired, and then carefully sealed them.

By the time everything was settled, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

He opened his eyes and found that his new mother was sitting by the window peeling an apple with drooping puffy eyelids, and the afternoon sun painted a soft warm color on her side face.After a while, a long string of peels piled up on her knees.

This reminded Lu Li that he was sitting in front of his mother's hospital bed like this, peeling an apple intermittently.

The mother on the hospital bed said softly: "Don't worry, take your time."Put your index finger against the back of the knife, press your thumb flat and push it forward...Little thing, you have to learn these things by yourself.If your mother leaves in the future, no one will take care of you like this anymore.

Before I knew it, five years had passed, and my mother's voice and smile gradually blurred.But Lu Li still clearly remembered that the potato-like apple was still in his mother's hand, and a long strip of apple peel was pushed out.It's a pity that it was cut off in the end, and if it was broken, it would never be connected again.

When the past overlapped with reality, Lu Li's nose started to feel sore.

"...Mom." He muttered.

The woman by the window raised her head immediately, expectant but a little uneasy, quietly waiting for his first words.

Perhaps sensing the weight of this expectation, Lu Li fell silent instead.

After a while, he said, "I want to eat an apple."

------------------

After 36 hours, after astonishment, frustration and contemplation, Lu Li finally chose to accept the truth.

But he didn't have much time to clean up his mood and organize his thoughts - at around three o'clock this afternoon, the police who got the news from the hospital came to investigate the accident.Since then, people have continued to come to the door with various purposes, and they also brought news from the outside world.

The driver and co-driver of the semi-trailer involved in the accident were all killed in the accident, and the commercial vehicle of the film crew caused a tragedy of two deaths and one injury.

The famous young actor Lu Li was resting in the back seat at the time of the accident. Because he was not wearing a seat belt, he suffered repeated severe collisions in the car accident and was buried by a large amount of ore, resulting in brain trauma and mechanical asphyxiation, and died after rescue failed.

Since Xiaolu was the life assistant hired by the production crew for Lu Li, the production director also visited him once on behalf of the production crew.The speech mentioned the government's rectification and banning of mines, the repair of the studio's roads and safety training-in fact, they all imply that the responsibility does not lie with the crew.

The people from the insurance company also came here, and Lu Li didn't need to worry about such things as medical expenses and lost work compensation.But what he was really worried about was precisely what he was most powerless at the moment.

Four years ago, he took plays day and night, and finally paid off all the debts owed by his family.The savings saved in the next few years, as well as the daily sundries placed in the apartment, have now become so-called "heritage relics".

Lu Li was single and childless, and the only heir to everything was his incompetent father.Currently, the man is serving a sentence in a foreign prison for tax issues, and it will take three years at the earliest to be released after serving his sentence.

But there are always two sides to everything - at least the man is no longer his biological father.

------------------

There was nothing to do during the days of staying in the hospital for observation. After repeated requests from Lu Li, he finally got a mobile phone with Internet access.Type in your name on the search site, and more news immediately floods in like a tsunami.

It turned out that the scene of the car accident has become the last pilgrimage site for fans.During the day, the ground is full of flowers; at night, it is full of candlelight.In front of the camera, the pain on every face is so real.Among the crying fans, occasionally there are some figures wearing masks and sunglasses, with dejected expressions.

Lu Li casually flipped through a few entertainment news articles. Many media reviewed him. Most of them portrayed him as a sad figure who "carries the burden of his family, has a unfortunate life experience, and has a tenacious personality."There are also individual gossip writers who are fond of talking about his love history and his relationship with the brokerage company.Many artists were also interviewed, and it is said that several actresses shed tears.

He picked a few videos to play, but it still didn't feel real at all, like watching a scene through a monitor, just waiting for the director to shout "cut!" Everything returned to normal.

But he soon noticed that Shen Xingze was not interviewed by the media.

This is really unbelievable - just talking about the obvious things: he and Shen Xingze have been in the same school, the same department and the same dormitory for four years in university, and they are well-known Tieci in the circle.Shen Xingxuan, who was born in the super rich second generation, is now even the boss behind the spotlight of his agency.Not to mention that Shen Xingze was on the set when the car accident happened.

After thinking about it, Lu Li opened Weibo again.

Shen Xingxuan doesn't have a personal Weibo, but his Xingxuan studio has a blue V size with tens of millions of fans.I clicked in and saw that the latest one was indeed a statement about the car accident.Roughly speaking, Lu Li died unfortunately. As a classmate and friend, Shen Xingxuan was very sad, and it was not convenient to accept an interview.

There are more than [-] comments and reposts left under the statement, most of which are expressing comfort and regret.Some fans also uploaded many framed photos of Shen Xingxuan and Lu Li as souvenirs.

Lu Li had nothing to do, so he clicked through the messages with pictures one by one.In addition to some stills and photos of attending events, there are actually a few pictures of them performing on the same stage and reuniting with classmates in college.

Many of the photos are followed by the same sentence - "Ten years of stardom, never leave."

Ten years, in fact, more than ten years.In the past 12 years, there seemed to be a needle hidden in his memory, and the sharp needle pierced his flesh from time to time, sewing him and Shen Xingzao tightly together.

I have also been hot-headed and fell into an ignorant campus romance; but I have also experienced a sudden death-like breakup and turmoil; but in the end, I still cut off the entanglement with each other, like the closest enemy and the most insidious lover.

Lu Li wanted to escape Shen Xingze's Wuzhi Mountain more than once, but was caught again and again; but now that he really escaped, he felt melancholy again.

On the fourth day of hospitalization, the entertainment reporters guarding around the hospital to inquire about the news completely dispersed, and Lu Li was allowed to get out of bed and move around freely in a small area.

He is still in the running-in period with this new body, and there are unsuitable places everywhere in every gesture.The biggest problem is still obesity. His body seems to be twice as heavy as before. Occasionally, he will make large movements, and his whole body will shake with fat, as if he is wrapped in a thick cotton jacket soaked in water.

The easternmost side of this inpatient building is a leisure water bar, where Lu Li would sit for a while before rounds every night.Diagonally opposite the window is the emergency center of the hospital. Ambulances often whistle, and the wounded and sick are brought in on stretchers.

There is still space under the emergency building, and a row of slanted small transom windows are cut out against the foundation.Lu Li discovered that it was a corridor leading to the basement of the medical technology building.The basement of the medical technology building is a mortuary. Every night, when the lights in this underground corridor automatically turn on, it means that a life has just gone out.

This reminded Lu Li of one thing - it was almost time to say goodbye to his former self.

On the fifth day of hospitalization, Lu Li asked his mother to call the film crew and politely asked if he could participate in the farewell ceremony for Lu Li's body.

The request was quickly responded to, and the one who further communicated with him was a publicist of Concentrating Company.

Lu Li soon realized that he might have made a stupid request - the funeral was obviously arranged by the company, and there might be a live webcast, crowdfunding funeral or something else.

But he was reluctant to go.

Because his father authorized the company to be cremated as soon as possible, Lu Li's "remains" were stored in the funeral home in the small town.The farewell ceremony for the remains was scheduled for the seventh day after the car accident.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was gloomy.Accompanied by his mother, Lu Li left the hospital and went to the funeral home in the eastern suburbs.

The farewell ceremony was scheduled to take place at ten o'clock, but at this moment, the entrance of the funeral parlor and both sides of the nearby road were already crowded with people.The security guards and the police blocked the uninvited people from outside the cordon. Many fans put up road sacrifices, and the drones of the media buzzed and circled high above.

After checking the identity, the vehicle drove into the museum area through the side door and parked in the internal dedicated parking space.It was still early, and some smokers in black suits were standing in twos and threes under the eaves and in the garden. When they saw Lu Li with gauze on his face, they all cast bright or dark surprised glances.

The sign office for the memorial service was set outside the main hall, and Lu Li's current manager, Xu Yucheng, was in charge.This strong woman who never changed her face before the Mount Tai collapsed obviously has not had a good time these few days.The dark circles on the face replaced the heavy makeup as a shield, so haggard that people felt that asking more questions would be cruel to her.

The guests and friends who have arrived were placed in several different lounges.Lu Li went to a small room, which was filled with behind-the-scenes staff of the crew he had worked with.The atmosphere was dull, and it was meaningless to just sit there. He confessed to his mother, got up and went out to breathe.

Outside the lounge is a corridor, with doors on both sides closed.Lu Li wanted to go to the front desk to have a look, but just as he arrived at the entrance of the corridor, two people, one old and one young, walked towards him.

He was immediately dumbfounded.

The old man walking in front had gray hair but a straight figure.He was wearing a black suit with a white flower pinned to the lapel.

That was actually the patriarch of the 14th grade students of China Film Group, Lu Li's university lecturer, Professor Gu.

Professor Gu has taught in China Film for 18 years, and the 14th grade is the last class he led as a class teacher.Lu Li still clearly remembers that on the night of the graduation ceremony, everyone held a teacher appreciation banquet at the roast duck restaurant next to the school.After drinking for three rounds, the students who were the most harassed in several professional classes suddenly burst into tears, rushed over and hugged Teacher Gu's neck, and would not let go.

Professor Gu was also moved, the tip of Jiu Jin's nose was flushed, and his usually full-bodied tone sounded a little unstable.He called the names of the students one by one, counted the foolishness and wrong things that everyone had committed in the past four years, and babbled about everyone's good things.He said that he never counted the number of star students he has brought out; but he must remember that no matter where he goes, he must not do things that lose the face of the film and his old man.

On the way back to school, I don't know who started it, everyone sang the class song.The singing voice, distorted by alcohol and parting sorrow, is more beautiful than ever.

The lingering sound curled up, still ringing in my ears.Goodbye now, but let the white-haired person send the black-haired person.

Although the teacher still looks like an old gentleman, his eyes are dull and weak when he looks carefully, losing the brightest light in the past.

Things are people, not everything.At this moment, Lu Li, who had been calm for seven days, suddenly felt sad.

He couldn't move anymore, so he just stood on the edge of the corridor like this, letting himself turn his back and cry, twisting all his facial features into a ball, and by the way, tightly twisting the "teacher" that he couldn't utter.

The two master and apprentice passed by each other like this, and in a blink of an eye there was only dead silence in the corridor.

After finally calming down a little, Lu Li finally realized that the man next to the professor is Shen Xingze's cousin and the person in charge of Xingze's studio, An Huawen.

An Huawen and Shen Xingxuan, cousins, have been inseparable since they started working. His appearance means that Shen Xingxuan should have arrived.

If we meet now, how should we face it?

Lu Li wiped his face indiscriminately, and the remaining tears fell on the back of his fat hand.
