Chapter 32
Doctors pushed the stretcher into the operating room. Xiao Yi sat outside, his whole person shivering nonstop. Panting, he felt like he was about to throw up. Dumei rushed the entire way to the corridor in high heels. The producer also came, and no one dared to speak.
"What's the situation?" Dumei's voice was shaking as she spoke.
"Comminuted shoulder fracture." Xiao Yi calmed down a little, and with a trembling voice he said, "Concussion.... hydrocephalus, Dongyang Citizen Hospital couldn't perform the surgery, he was transferred in this afternoon."
Dumei started to cry, Lin Yao was comforting her by the side, and numerous people went up in turns to hug her. Xiao Yi was crying so much, in his hands he was clutching the amulet they had gotten in Thailand, secretly praying, anything is fine, take my life away, just don't let him die......
"Family member sign here." The doctor came out, and said, "The surgery will be done right away."
"There are no family members present." Dumei said, "His mother is overseas, I already gave her a call, but currently she can't be reached."
"Xiao Yi." Lin Yao said, "You sign."
The doctor stared at Xiao Yi suspiciously, Xiao Yi took the pen, and at the family acknowledgement section, he signed his own name: "Can he recover?"
The doctor did not answer, he turned and went back in.
The surgery took almost 8 hours, outside the operating room it was silent. The overall planning in charge whispered: "Everyone first split into batches to go have a meal."
Dumei gave a sound of agreement, and left with the producer. Lin Yao sat beside Xiao Yi, touching his head expressing comfort, and did not say anything. Xiao Yi said: "Sorry, gave.....everyone so much trouble."
Lin Yao made a disapproving noise, indicating that there was no need for apologies. On one hand Xiao Yi felt choked up, on the other he lifted his eyes to look at Li Changzheng. Li Changzheng was also crying, he waved his hands to signal that he was okay.
"I am going to give Zheng Xiaocong a call." Xiao Yi said, "Before Luzhou was unconscious he mentioned it on the ambulance."
When Luzhou was lying in the ambulance on the way to transfer to Shanghai's hospital, he held Xiao Yi's hand, facing him he said a "Zheng". Xiao Yi knew that Luzhou was worried, he wanted to find a replacement, and he also knew that after his fall, he wouldn't be able to continue filming.
Lin Yao said: "Those close friends of his, Dumei has already informed them, currently we don't know the situation yet, definitely do not let more people know."
Xiao Yi nodded his head. Lin Yao said: "The main thing is to be low-key."
The doors to the operating room opened, the nurses pushed out Luzhou who was lying on the hospital bed.
"Does he need to enter ICU?" Xiao Yi asked trembling.
"His condition is fairly good." The doctor said, "General ward, just need to observe the situation, if he can wake up there will be no problem."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, from the morning when the accident occurred till now, it had been sixteen consecutive hours, the whole crew seemed to be covered in dark clouds. Luzhou was sent to the general ward, he had on an oxygen mask, and beside him were a bunch of machines that were beeping continuously. Xiao Yi sat in the chair beside the hospital bed and spaced out.
After the surgery Luzhou looked very haggard, his face was pale, there was not an inkling of his usual male god vibes, and there was even glue left over from the wig on his forehead. Xiao Yi looked at Luzhou, he couldn't help but to cry again, and continued to slump by the bedside. He choked silently, lifting his eyes, he stared at Luzhou who was in a coma.
His only wish was that Luzhou could wake up faster, then give him a scolding.
Dumei came back, she come in to look. She touched Xiao Yi's shoulders, to signal him to calm down a little.
Xiao Yi heard Dumei speaking outside with the director and producer. After a while someone else came, it seemed like people from the broadcasting company, then investors also came, everyone was directly discussing outside about what to do next. Finally the doctor said: "Go out to have your meetings! Patients need to rest!"
The noise outside stopped.
Xiao Yi leaned over the bedside, holding Luzhou's hand. He did not know how much time had passed when Li Changzheng brought over some fried rice for Xiao Yi, he sat on the side and said: "You have to eat something."
Xiao Yi couldn't hold out much longer, he knew in this situation, he had to at least eat something. A nurse came over to do the registration, Dumei then invited the people in the hospital to thoroughly monitor Luzhou's situation. This was the best hospital in Shanghai, everyone already performed their best, whether he could wake up or not, it depended on destiny.
"Sorry." Li Changzheng said guiltily, "The one who was supposed to fall was me. The venue at that time could not maintain 2 steel wires, I couldn't jump over, no one would have expected that it would collapse."
Xiao Yi said: "This has already happened, we can only hope that he will wake up."
Li Changzheng went silent for a moment, then continued to say: "Yes, you are right, he will definitely get well."
Xiao Yi had half the portion of rice, and said: "This Yangzhou fried rice is tasty."
Li Changzheng: "When he wakes up, we can go to eat this together."
Xiao Yi nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Yi did not cry again, anyways crying was useless, it only made him thirsty. Luzhou would definitely recover, he was such an incredible person, simply comparable to Superman, he could do anything, he knew everything, he was still so powerful.
He could understand Li Changzheng's feelings, the accident today, if the one who had fallen was Li Changzheng, no matter how famous he was, how rich he was, after such a fall, he would be left with nothing.
Li Changzheng and Xiao Yi quietly sat in the ward, after a while, the producer came in and led Li Changzheng out.
Xiao Yi was really sleepy, he leaned by Luzhou's side, holding his hand, just simply leaning like this.
"Xiao Yi." Lee Ye's voice said by his ear.
Xiao Yi lifted his head, the sky was already brightening. Since Luzhou's accident, he was entirely muddle-headed. Then a thirty plus year old man entered, and said: "How's the situation?"
Xiao Yi said: "Once he wakes up it'll be fine, Xiaocong Ge."
The one who entered was Zheng Xiaocong, Luzhou's good friend. He faced Xiao Yi and nodded, then faced Dumei and said: "I'll enter the crew and sign the contract?"
Dumei said: "Xiaocong you follow the director, all the scenes from the start need to be filmed again, I'm afraid your schedule won't match."
Zheng Xiaocong turned to Xiao Yi and said: "Xiao Yi, when Luzhou wakes up you give me a call."
Xiao Yi hurriedly nodded, knowing that the crew successfully invited someone to save the show, the matter that Luzhou instructed him was done, he couldn't help but to let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Yao also entered, Lee Ye then went out, and closed the door. Shortly after Wu Henggu and his manager also came in. The ward was left with the few of them.
"How about this." Dumei said, "Once Luzhou wakes up, no matter what the situation is, just give us all a call, Xiao Yi."
Xiao Yi: "Okay."
Lin Yao: "I will stay in the hospital."
Dumei: "I have asked the nurse to transfer him to another ward, Lin Yao you and Xiao Yi take turns to look after him, just make sure one of our people is around."
Xiao Yi: "Okay."
Dumei: "I'll go over to the crew first."
Xiao Yi got up and said: "You've worked hard, President Du."
Dumei did not say anything, she nodded her head and left. A moment later the director, producer and Li Changzheng came to say goodbye. Once filming started, everyday was a loss of up to tens of millions, they couldn't afford to delay, and had to immediately think of a way to keep the show running. The entire crew stayed up all night, Xiao Yi was a tad worried that they would fall asleep while on the drive back, until 10am in the morning, they sent a message to say that they had reached the destination safely. Xiao Yi could finally relax.
Lin Yao went to eat, the doctor came by to record some data then left. Xiao Yi did not dare to ask anything, he only remained lying on the bed beside Luzhou.

The summer afternoon's sunlight penetrated the window panes. Xiao Yi buried his face by Luzhou's side, holding his wide palm. Luzhou's finger twitched, and following that, he lifted his hand, and touched Xiao Yi's head.
Xiao Yi: "........"
Xiao Yi lifted his head to look at Luzhou, then his tears poured down uncontrollably.
"What time is it." Luzhou said in a faint voice, the oxygen mask fogging with a mist.
Xiao Yi did not have time to get up yet, the nurse had already ran off to call the doctor in his stead. The doctor came in a hurry, and gave Luzhou a checkup. Luzhou only looked at Xiao Yi, his eyebrows lifted slightly.
"It's morning..... no, afternoon, 12pm in the afternoon." Xiao Yi said.
Luzhou: "Did they find someone to save the show?"
Xiao Yi said: "Zheng Xiaocong came."
Luzhou nodded, the doctor immediately said: "Do not move your head!"
Xiao Yi burst into tears and laughed, looking at the doctor. The doctor said: "There are no problems, just talk to him, don't sleep anymore, only sleep when you are drowsy at night."
At this moment Xiao Yi felt like he was alive again.
Luzhou looked at Xiao Yi, he stared unwaveringly. Xiao Yi was both exhausted and happy, fortunately it was a false alarm, just now he had already thought of martyrdom.
"Speak." Luzhou said weakly, "Don't you usually have a lot of things to say?"
Xiao Yi: "......."
Lin Yao knocked on the door, entered, and saw that Luzhou was awake. Luzhou's head was fixed to restrict his movements, he was wearing a white brace on his neck, only his eyes could move about.
"Yo, you're awake." Lin Yao smiled and said, "I knew you would make it."
"My fucking shoulder.....it hurts. " Luzhou said.
Xiao Yi laughed.
"Laugh." Luzhou said, "You have finally gotten your revenge right."
There was a lack of energy from Luzhou's speech. Xiao Yi said: "Stop speaking, I will talk to you instead."
Luzhou continued to say: "See Weibo, those antis are going to rejoice from this again, do they know of this matter? "
Xiao Yi thought What situation are you in already you're still thinking about your antis, you're too crazy. Lin Yao said: "I don't know, President Du and Sister Lee discussed this before, to not let this be known to the outside yet."
Luzhou: "Read Weibo."
Xiao Yi: "......."
Luzhou: "Bring Weibo over for me to see."
Xiao Yi: "Let me read it out for you."
Xiao Yi swiped Weibo, on the site there were all sorts of crazy gossips, he opened the most recent photo posted by Luzhou, and below that were all comments like male god you must be okay male god what happened to you come out and say something I have already cried an entire night this definitely definitely must be fake, it is not real......
Xiao Yi said: "Someone asked the crew if they had an accident, then someone else told him to shut his foul mouth."
Luzhou: "Tell the truth, I have no strength to shout at you...... Xiao Yi, if I can't help but to shout at you, it will speed up my death......"
Xiao Yi immediately explained: "There's a rumor that you are injured, but didn't state how badly."
Lin Yao said: "President Du and Lee Ye have already prepared the news manuscript, it will be out today."
Luzhou said: "Xiao Yi..... Give President Du a call, tell her to hold off the manuscript, dispel the rumors, just say that I am not injured."
Xiao Yi felt a little at loss. Luzhou said weakly: "Don't let the fans worry. Just say, I temporarily have something urgent to do, so I pushed the drama away, this should be okay...... the little ladies do not know the degree of seriousness, if it is said that I'm hospitalized, they would worry everyday."
Lin Yao said: "Let me discuss this with President Du."
Luzhou then said again: "Xiao Yi, in your phone.....do you have my pictures?"
Xiao Yi said: "I do."
Luzhou said: "Post one, dispel the rumors, post it now."
Xiao Yi eyed Lin Yao. Lin Yao did not persist, he went out to the corridor to make a phone call. Xiao Yi then followed Luzhou's instructions, his head lowered swiping the pictures, and found a picture of Luzhou sitting in the hotel playing psp after work. He said: "Then I.... what should I say?"
Luzhou flipped his palm around, placed it on Xiao Yi's hand, and said: "Anything."
Xiao Yi: "Can I just directly share the picture."
Luzhou: "Don't make me angry....."
Xiao Yi: "Oh there's this picture! I remember now!"
Xiao Yi found a picture of Li Changzheng and Luzhou during break time, it had been a hot afternoon, the two were enjoying the air-conditioning fan, and he posted it to Luzhou's Weibo.
I am the genius Luzhou: Aren't I living a good life? Your male god belongs to me.
Luzhou looked at it, extremely pleased, and gave a sound of acknowledgement. His finger was holding onto Xiao Yi's hand, he was not letting go. Xiao Yi placed the phone down, laid on his legs and looked up at him.
"Very ugly?" Luzhou's eyes shifted downwards contemptuously, looking at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head, saying: "Very handsome. Love you."
"Uh." Luzhou had an "of course' expression. After a while he said: "Seeing that the moment I woke up, the first person I saw was you, forget it. I also love you too."
Xiao Yi laughed out loud. Luzhou made a disapproving sound, signalling that he shouldn't be too noisy. There was still a smile in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yi.
Luzhou's eyes at this moment were very gentle, very gentle. The sun shined into the ward, falling onto the floor, turning the room into a golden splendor.
As Xiao Yi smiled, he sniffed his nose, both eyes turning red, and bitterly resisted his tears.
"Are you a man......" With no energy, Luzhou said, "Cry for what ah....."
Xiao Yi said:"I'm sad.....This was such a good drama, you acted so earnestly....."
Luzhou thought about it, his tone went slightly flat, and seemed more powerless as he patted Xiao Yi's hand and said: "Don't be sad, there will be better dramas to come."
Lin Yao came back in after making his call, and said: "The manuscript has been temporarily put on hold, President Du is rushing over now."
Luzhou gave an 'en', and said: It's fine to let her come tomorrow, also let her leave a message for my mom, say it's not a big deal, only a shoulder fracture, no need to come over."
When Dumei rushed over, Xiao Yi was feeding Luzhou. Dumei's entire person was out of sorts, yesterday morning she had boarded a plane after she received the call, in the afternoon she rushed to Shanghai, then in the evening she went to Hengdian, now she was back again.
"President Du go take a rest first." Xiao Yi hurriedly said.
"Slept on the car." Dumei said, "It's great that you're awake, anything is easier to discuss."
Dumei and Luzhou had a serious discussion for a while, Luzhou had no strength to shout, so this was a company meeting with Luzhou present that had the most soothing atmosphere in the history of meetings that Xiao Yi had ever seen. The only thing that was lacking was a violinist playing on the side. However, Luzhou insisted no, no, this cannot be discussed.
In the end, Dumei and Luzhou got in an extremely slow and gentle dispute, and finally reached a consensus. Xiao Yi thought this was the most boring meeting he had ever seen in his life, he had actually spent 2 hours, curiously listening to their entire conversation.
After that Dumei left again. The conclusion of the discussion was, to reveal that Luzhou's old ailment recurred during the filming process, his periarthritis acted up and had to temporarily quit. But based on current situation, Zheng Xiaocong might not be able to succeed the role. If that failed, then they could only push the second male lead Wu Henggu up to act as Sleek Rat Bai Yutang.
Luzhou was relieved: "I've filmed so many shows, this is the first time I'm resting with my salary paid."
Xiao Yi: "........"
That night Xiao Yi set up another bed in Luzou's first class ward, he watched him all night. Actually there were nurses around, Xiao Yi did not have to bother about these things, but he just couldn't rest assure. In Luzhou's words, he was simply like a mother hen.
No matter what, as long as he was alive everything was good, there was no need for blood. The doctor said Luzhou was not fully recovered, there was a need to supervise him at all times, if he had headaches, nausea, or vomiting, the doctor had to be informed right away.
Xiao Yi began to wipe Luzhou's body carefully, and took over what the nurses would normally do. Since Luzhou disliked strangers touching his body, Xiao Yi learnt how to take care of him from the nurses, while lying on the bed in the middle of the night he would often turn over to look at his profile.
Whatever happened to the crew had nothing much to do with them anymore. In order not to affect Luzhou's mood, and to prevent his glass heart from acting up, Xiao Yi stopped browsing his phone, and only made calls or sent messages.
Four steel nails were implanted in Luzhou's shoulder, and the concussion did not seem to bring about any huge problems. Xiao Yi specially went to consult the doctor, if Luzhou could return to filming again, and the doctor answered that it would depend on his recovery progress. Xiao Yi didn't dare to let Luzhou know.
Soon after, Luzhou could freely move his head about again. (*T/N: There is a continuation to this sentence but it seems to be an error by the author, it does not make sense at all and hence I have removed it.*) Luzhou asked: "When can I be discharged?"
Xiao Yi said: "Your left shoulder needs to be under observation for a while."
Luzhou: "It has recovered."
Xiao Yi: "Nope, the doctor just reminded me today."
When the crew had their break times, they would organize for people to visit. In the end, Zheng Xiaocong still could not sort out his schedule, he couldn't act as Sleek Rat, and it was changed to Wu Henggu. Luzhou sustained work injuries and could not film anymore, but Xiao Yi's contract was still binding, he could only hold a pen, write a few strokes, and think about the music.
Numerous days later, he looked at Tianya and Weibo, in that instant he felt a penetrating fear.
Not only was the accident not suppressed, it was blown even bigger by other parties, and was almost impossible to clear up. Luzhou's fans, even passersby, began to analyze the suspicions of this matter, everyone knew that Luzhou was disabled, and could no longer act anymore.
Many people started on conspiracy theories, and felt that Li Changzheng harmed Luzhou. But Xiao Yi did not think so, Luzhou and Li Changzheng had no conflict, what would he harm him for?
.......No, Li Changzheng and Luzhou, if he really had to talk about conflicts, there was one tiny conflict before.
Xiao Yi himself was trouble, but he felt that Li Changzheng wouldn't be so unscrupulous, to specifically harm Luzhou while filming in the crew. And even if Luzhou had fallen to his death, Li Changzheng would not be the one to benefit. His company had already sent an actor for the drama, if Luzhou got dragged down, the replacement would be from Dumei's side, what benefits would Li Changzheng get?
Li Changzheng always treated them politely. Xiao Yi felt a bit unbearable, if Li Changzheng was really not the culprit, then it was too much for him to bear this accusation.
For some time Li Changzheng was universally condemned, failing to explain his side. He didn't have the intention to argue, and continued posting about the daily on-goings of the filming on Weibo. There were even fans who flocked to his Weibo, and said that if Luzhou died, they would settle things with Li Changzheng.
Xiao Yi thought recently Li Changzheng was not visiting anymore, could this be the reason?
"What's wrong?" Luzhou asked.
"Li Changzheng also stopped coming." Xiao Yi said.
"He is right to not come." Luzhou said: "I asked him not to come anymore, to just focus on filming. This is the eye of the storm, what would he come here for, to cry me a river?"
Xiao Yi understood, at this timing, if Li Changzheng appeared, it would seem like he sympathized Luzhou. And with Luzhou's temper, he did not need anyone's sympathies, so not visiting was actually a form of respect.
"When can I be discharged?!" Luzhou finally lost his patience.
"Be patient." Xiao Yi said, "You can't be discharged now."
Luzhou said: "You go pack things up, we leave in the afternoon, go settle the discharge procedures."
Xiao Yi said: "The doctor refused to let you discharge, you can't go anywhere."
"You....." Luzhou glared at Xiao Yi, and said, "Did you forget who's actually your boss again!"
Xiao Yi had never been afraid of being scolded, he was not afraid in the past, he wouldn't be afraid now. He said: "I'll bring you out for a walk, okay?"
Luzhou was sulking from his stay in the hospital, but Xiao Yi knew there was another reason why he wanted to go back home —— he didn't want any visitors. Although there were many yummy foods from these visitors, Luzhou did not want to lie on the hospital bed, or sit in the ward and chat with the crew from the visiting team, he felt that this was a sort of insult, and would rather head back to Beijing as soon as possible.
But even if he went back to Beijing, medical examinations still have to be arranged. Moreover, Xiao Yi did not know if Luzhou's concussion would affect anything.
PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD ELSEWHERE.

The result of the fifth filming, Dumei and Lin Yao did not come, everyone in the crew were very busy, as the filming was about to end. Only Xiao Yi stood in the ward, listening to the doctor about Luzhou's condition.
The doctor was slightly surprised, and said: "Where's your boss? Didn't come?"
Xiao Yi said: "No, please speak."
The doctor liked Xiao Yi very much, he saw that he was diligent, but still got frequent scoldings from Luzhou. Sometimes, even the doctor could not stand it any longer.
"His brain, this part might be a little damaged." The doctor said, "It could affect his memory."
"How affected would he be?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Is he showing any signs of forgetfulness?" The doctor said.
Xiao Yi shook his head. The doctor said: "Then I can't say for sure, maybe there's no influence at all, or maybe it will reflect in some trivial things."
Xiao Yi nodded, and asked: "Do you still need to observe?"
The doctor said: "Let's observe for a while more, you also have to arrange for medical examinations over at the hospital in Beijing right?"
Summer was about to end. Luzhou had stayed in this ward for about 3 months, his shoulder was almost recovered, sometimes he couldn't lift it up, but for the most part it was normal. Xiao Yi asked the doctor and then knew that it was a normal occurrence.
"When can we return to Beijing?" Luzhou asked again.
Xiao Yi said: "The doctor said you still need to stay for a period of time."
Luzhou could not bear it any longer: "You state an exact date!"
Xiao Yi said: "He is also not sure, maybe 1-2 months more."
Luzhou: "This is a mental hospital right, are you guys trying to sell Lao Zi to a mental hospital, then embezzle my money?"
Xiao Yi laughed out loud. Luzhou looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously and said: "Do you have something on your mind?"
Xiao Yi: "Hahaha no, hahaha....."
Luzhou: "Your laughter is too fake."
Xiao Yi could only stop making any sound. Luzhou said: "Bring the phone over for me to see."
Xiao Yi handed the phone to Luzhou. Luzhou did not speak the entire afternoon, he laid on the bed browsing the forums, while Xiao Yi was eating the fruits given to Luzhou by the people who came over to visit, they were really tasty, he had never enjoyed such tasty fruits before..... they were all imported, and super sweet......
"Zhou Ge." Xiao Yi said.
"Wipe that yellow face of yours." Luzhou impatiently said.
Xiao Yi found a few napkins, wrapped the mangoes, and went to wash his face. When he came back he asked: "Is that so?"
Luzhou: "?"
Xiao Yi: "What the forums are saying, do you believe?"
Luzhou: "If I said I believe, are you going to help me kill Li Changzheng right now?"
Xiao Yi: "Yes."
Luzhou: "Go, I believe."
Xiao Yi went out. Luzhou raged from behind: "You are really going! Come back here!"
Xiao Yi went out to throw the mango skin away, he did not speak for the entire day, seriously looking at the gossips on the internet. Luzhou only glanced at them, placed the iPad aside, then took a long breath.
"It wouldn't be Li Changzheng who did it." When they were strolling in the garden at night, Luzhou suddenly said.
"Why?" Although Xiao Yi knew Luzhou must have already known something, he couldn't help but to ask.
"Because of love." Luzhou said indifferently.
"Because of love.... How can there be turbulence, we were still young....." Xiao Yi couldn't help singing.
"Are you a jukebox?" Luzhou was stuck between laughter and tears.
"He liked you in the past?" Xiao Yi asked.
When Xiao Yi heard this, he didn't feel so nervous. Li Changzheng cannot become his rival in love, because Xiao Yi has never wanted any reciprocation from Luzhou, he didn't need him to do anything, he would never reveal his feelings for Luzhou, he only wanted him to live well, and to accompany him by his side, in whatever ways, it didn't matter.
"Yes." Luzhou seriously said, "You better not tell anyone."
Xiao Yi hurriedly nodded his head. Luzhou said: "It was back when we were still studying, I went with him to an audition."
Xiao Yi said: "You two....why didn't you get together? I.....mean, actually this is nothing, don't take this to heart, Zhou Ge, I don't mean that....."
In the quiet garden, the lights from faraway shined over.
Luzhou stood in front of the pond, and said: "He must have felt that I wasn't the type he liked. So he quickly alienated me. In the beginning I didn't know, I treated him like a brother, in the past no one treated me so well. You know people in the film and tv academy are rich. If you don't have money, others will look down on you. No matter how handsome you may be, they won't care about you. Li Changzheng was poor, I was poor too, at first it was hard to come by, so we became friends."
Xiao Yi was beside Luzhou swatting mosquitoes, his neck was bitten and had swelled to a big lump, and gave an 'oh' sound. Luzhou then said: "So I believe he would not specifically harm me."
Xiao Yi's gossipy heart was burning, and he asked: "Li Changzheng is a zero [1]?"
"Yes." Luzhou said, "But he likes those who are graceful and good-tempered, like our professor kind of men."
That night, Xiao Yi laid on the bed, and Luzhou remained lying in a daze. They had been staying in the hospital for nearly 3 months now. The crew would be wrapping up soon. Luzhou insisted on going back to Beijing before that, in case the entire crew decided to come over to visit him afterwards.
In the period of Luzhou's stay in the hospital, Dumei came over a few times. Lin Yao also came over a few times, all they said was to warn him repeatedly to rest. Now that he could not act in dramas, he could only be at ease and recuperate. To ensure Luzhou could recuperate, the crew did not inform the outside world regarding the hospital he was staying in. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Changzheng came over to visit once in the middle of the filming process, and then never appeared again.
Xiao Yi had quite a few things to say about Li Changzheng's actions, after all, in order to save him, Luzhou had fallen together with him. Not talking about whether Luzhou took the initiative to save someone, or whether Li Changzheng was willing to accept this favor, but if someone rescued himself, Xiao Yi would definitely be uneasy, he would call everyday to ask about the situation, or, at least send a Weibo to clear things up a little.
However, Li Changzheng did not say anything, he only continued to film his drama, the entire period he made 3 calls, the first was to ask if they lacked anything, the second was to thank Luzhou for saving his life, and the third was to set a date to visit him after filming wrapped up.
Luzhou did not show any unnatural reactions over it, he only told Li Changzheng to not be polite, after all no matter who had been standing on the eaves of the rooftop and slipped, Luzhou would still lend a hand.
Xiao Yi did thought of this before, if it had been someone else who got hurt because of protecting Luzhou, Luzhou might not continue filming this drama anymore, and would come over to accompany the person everyday. Or at least he would send Xiao Yi over, to receive instructions at all times outside the ward.
"Don't mention this matter anymore." Luzhou said, "Owing someone, the one to feel the worst would be the actual person, as long as he is clear it is fine, I see my fans are almost throttling him into a dog."
Xiao Yi made a sound of acknowledgement. At night, the two of them laid in bed. Luzhou changed a few channels, then flipped through disks. That was his debut movie, at that time Luzhou was still very young, and Xiao Yi had also just started university, and brought his girlfriend to watch Luzhou's first movie.
Very very young, just like a brat. He had just debuted and was already the main lead, this movie had significant contributions to him, that movie was a story of Shu Fangla attacking Liangshan.
"No Turning Back For A Drawn Arrow" , A huge Liangshan, all the heroes either died, or scattered. Luzhou acted as 'White Strip in the Wave' Zhang Shun, it was needless to speak about any feelings, he had simply illuminated the entire stage, grabbing the limelight.
"Your figure is so good." Xiao Yi looked at the Luzhou who was donned in a historical costume, there were red hearts in his eyes, and his drool was drip dropping down.
Luzhou: "......."
After watching half of the movie, Luzhou turned it off.
"Hey!" Xiao Yi still wanted to watch on, but Luzhou did not let him watch it.
"Why are we not watching anymore?" Xiao Yi asked.
Luzhou: "I don't want to watch, want to sleep."
Luzhou laid on the bed, his back facing Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had no choice but to go off the lights, wear his earpieces, and then used his phone to flip through the online video gallery to continue watching. The Zhang Shun played by Luzhou had both fight scenes and nudity scenes. In one of those scenes, after he had submitted secret information from Luhuadang, the 'White Strip in the Wave' came out of the water, he stood by the riverside, his entire body nude, and showed his back view. His body had the right amount of muscles all around, with reed flowers all over the sky, the Heaven and Earth as one, Luzhou took a bath by the riverside. On one side, he used an overbearing voice, paddling towards a boat, and sang together with the beautiful Sun Erniang, there was no fear of the differences between men and women.
That scene instantly made him into a male god that swept the hearts of thousands of young men and women. Xiao Yi watched it again, and when he saw the classic scene, he still couldn't help but to feel thrilled.
The naked male body, with the overflowing reed flowers, as if seeing the world beyond the horizon, with the gentle voice of Sun Erniang, and Zhang Shun's brazen and rough manly voice, there was a primitive sense of power and beauty, it was majestic, causing others to feel a sense of worship.
And Xiao Yi got hard while watching it.
"Zhou Ge." Xiao Yi removed one side of the earpiece, knowing that Luzhou had not slept yet, he said: "What was your major when you attended sports school previously?"
Xiao Yi heard Luzhou mention, his mother did not allow him to study acting, so Luzhou had no choice but to enter sports school. He studied for 2 years, and worked as a model. After he earned enough money he dropped out of school and retook the exam, and finally got his wish and entered the acting major.
"Learnt swimming." Luzhou flipped around, facing the ceiling, he sighed and looked at the ceiling as if fascinated.
"No wonder your figure is so good." Xiao Yi replayed the scene, watching Luzhou's naked body, it felt as beautiful as a sculpture of a Greek man.
Luzhou: "What are you watching?"
"Nothing much." Xiao Yi thought I am watching your nude body.

Personal thoughts:
This is the first bomb. #justsaying
I mean really did anyone suspect LCZ liked LZ before??? Imo it was so random...I would rather think he liked XY instead.
Anyways..... come aboard the angst train on 12th July :D

Notes:
1. 零 pronounced as 'ling', literally means 0. In chinese it is a slang for uke/bottom/receiver. The seme will be 一/Yi/ 1.

Could finally read this chapter properly because I was too busy ಥ‿ಥ I wonder if this means that LZ might have issues acting in the future... Since an aspect of his memory might be affected... That would've been really angsty...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter! :)
You're right, Li Changzheng liking Luzhou was unexpected. I'd have thought they fought for the same man, given the animosity between them.
ReplyDeleteThe show business is ruthless. One actor almost died and they just return to film the next day. Oh well, Xiao Yi is there for Luzhou, so everyone else can go home.
Thanks for the chapter!
Por qué tenían que meterle lo de que le afectará la memoria, me recuerda a telenovela xD
ReplyDeleteEspero que pueda seguir siendo actor y no le afecte nada a sus recuerdos de Xiao >-<
Gracias por el capítulo!
