Chapter 33

Luzhou turned his head, watching Xiao Yi's face that was illuminated by his mobile phone. In the darkness of the night, there was a screen of light on Xiao Yi's face, the earpiece cord was wrapped around his neck as he raised both his eyes and eyebrows to stare anticipatedly at Luzhou.

"You are quite handsome." Luzhou said.

Xiao Yi laughed, he looked at Luzhou and said: "Zhou Ge is the most handsome."

Luzhou smiled self-deprecatingly, shaking his head.

"Zhou Ge." Xiao Yi sat up and said, "Do you wish to find a girlfriend and get married?"

"Why did you say that?" A preoccupied Luzhou asked.

Xiao Yi said: "If you get married someone will take care of you."

Luzhou watched Xiao Yi cautiously, and said: "You want to quit again?"

Xiao Yi: "........"

"I don't mean that." Xiao Yi said, "I'm afraid you.....will get lonely, and even if you get a girlfriend, I can still take care of you, there's no conflict."

"No." Luzhou answered with a cold face, and sighed again.

Xiao Yi kept thinking, and said again: "I...... I'm not joking with you or anything..... I don't mean to mock you either, Zhou Ge, look at me look at me, you look at me."

Xiao Yi got up, sat on the hospital bed, and covered his head with the blanket, only revealing his eyes, which were staring at Luzhou.

Luzhou: "? ? ?"

Xiao Yi: "I also had this harmless, trifle small problem regarding the male genital before."

Luzhou: "......."

Luzhou: "Thank you for your kind intentions, I do not have that problem, I will not sympathize with you."

Xiao Yi hastily waved his hands saying: "I'm not mocking you...... Actually this matter is very normal for a male, it is not significant......"

Xiao Yi's face was totally red, luckily it was night time, Luzhou could not see his face. Xiao Yi continued to say: "When I first started working, I was exhausted everyday, and got scolded by my girlfriend, just..... a little of that, but as long as I rested for a while it would gradually get better."

"Have you watched too much porn!" Luzhou said rudely, "When I first met you, you had a pale face, white lips, and a silky face, do you know forced masturbation will backfire?"

Xiao Yi: "........"

Xiao Yi said: "That was because of staying up late, anyways, if you need, I will accompany you to the andrology department to check? Or I can help you find a doctor, if you need prostate massages, I can also help you....."

Luzhou yelled: "Do you even know where the prostate is! Is it related to impotence?!"

Xiao Yi: "Shh shh...."

Xiao Yi was afraid that they would wake the ward next door. Luzhou admitted defeat, he threw a pillow over, cruelly smashing Xiao Yi hard on the bed.

"It's not what you think." Luzhou said, "You won't understand."

Xiao Yi sincerely looked at Luzhou with care and anticipation.

Luzhou thought about it, got fed up, then said: "I'll tell you, why Zhang Xinran said that about me. You remember this clearly, do not spread it out."

Xiao Yi quickly said: "Okay okay.... Definitely won't spread!"

Luzhou: "If someone interrogates you, even if your fingernails get plucked out you still can't say it, got it?"

Xiao Yi thought Why would someone even forcibly torture me about why you are impotent...... Not many people care about this okay! On the surface however, he said: "Got it, even if they use my entire family's lives to threaten me to talk about your that......I still won't say it."

"I don't have.... that!" Luzhou said viciously, "You saw on Tianya, the matters regarding my first movie right?"

"Yes yes." Xiao Yi said: "You banged the producer?"

Luzhou snorted, and seemed to be thinking about how to put this into words. Xiao Yi said: "This is nothing much. You banged someone, isn't this normal?"

Luzhou said: "I don't have any feelings for men, never......had!"

Xiao Yi: "Oh."

Luzhou continued to say: "Later, a friend, it was Zheng Xiaocong, he gave me an idea. If you want to be popular you have to accept the unspoken rules, if not you couldn't get good roles..... But to ask Lao Zi to serve that disgusting fellow, how to do!"

Xiao Yi knew Zheng Xiaocong was a straight male, he even had kids, it was impossible for him to use this to trick Luzhou. He said: "Right, since you have no feelings for men, how did you get erect......"

Luzhou said: "Zheng Xiaocong got me......got me......"

Luzhou could not continue on. Xiao Yi thought this was really a huge shocking gossip, but he didn't feel like he was just told any secret, he just felt happy, very happy. Because Luzhou finally told him his past.

"Got you what." Xiao Yi urged in appropriation, "Let you cross-dress as a woman?"

Luzhou: "You are crazy! Are there any logical connections between not liking males and cross-dressing as a woman?!"

Xiao Yi immediately said: "Okay okay, you continue."

"Got me to buy a sildenafil citrate tablet to consume....."

"What what?"

The term used by Luzhou was beyond Xiao Yi's understanding. Luzhou impatiently said: "Anyways it's a type of medicine! You only need to know that it is a type of medicine that's all!"

Xiao Yi thought what medicine was so miraculous, and went on his phone to look it up.

Luzhou: "Later I....."

Xiao Yi: "Is it Viagra?"

Luzhou angrily shouted: "Don't say that name!"

Xiao Yi was so shocked he fell off the bed, and was at a loss. Luzhou then said: "I banged that person, that's it."

Xiao Yi said: "But what relation does this have with your that disease?"

Luzhou said: "There's a psychological trauma! Do you not know?! Zheng Xiaocong also said to close your eyes, take a deep breath, then climb up, after 3 minutes it will be finished! Do you know how this would affect someone who has never done this sort of thing?!"

Xiao Yi could understand Luzhou, and said: "Then you just..... become like that?"

Luzhou peevishly said: "A......a little bit, I tried a few times with Zhang Xinran, sometimes it wouldn't get hard, so I could only continue eating that......"

".......Viagra." Xiao Yi added.

"Don't say that name!" Luzhou shouted angrily again.

Xiao Yi: "Okay okay okay......"

Luzhou said: "It will get erect after eating that, after it's erect there will be a conditioned reflex, 3 minutes 3 minutes..... after 3 minutes it will be done...... it can't be controlled, so with Zhang Xinran it was also very fast..... after 3 minutes then...... that. Hence either that or that, not one time was normal, and so she slandered me so viciously, got it?"

Xiao Yi finally understood, and said: "So this is a psychological factor, it's nothing, just relax a little."

Luzhou said: "And the reason why I don't date isn't totally because of this, Xinran she..... Hey. Your girlfriend scolds you everyday, you can still get hard?"

"It can get hard." Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Yi thought You scold me everyday but I still can get hard when I face you..... is there any logical connection to this? 

Luzhou: "........."

Luzhou was silent for a moment, then said: "Let's just say, your Zhou Ge used to run around to make money, and accepted all sorts of dramas, I was too impetuous, and never had the mood to go love someone, so my friends all gifted me a nickname called Lu Get Rich."

"There is no mood now too." Luzhou said, "Understood? When you want to settle down, to have a proper relationship, this mentality is unstable because in the entertainment circle, men and women all have masks on, you may know a person, but do you really know what kind of person the real him is? Just like how you adore me, adore Li Changzheng, these are all masks for outsiders to see, you can't see the other person's true self, you can't see anyone's......"

"I know you." Xiao Yi smiled and said: "I know the real you."

Luzhou gave a sound of agreement, then said: "You know your male god, so you are disillusioned. Zhang Xinran, Ning Yaqing, Li Changzheng, Wu Henggu.... all the people you know are like this. For fame, for the sake of being the lead actor, I can go to bed with others, don't you feel that I'm disgusting?"

"No." Xiao Yi said, "I love you more after I knew you."

Luzhou said: "That's you."

Xiao Yi: "......."

"Not gonna talk to you anymore, I'm a normal person, I can't communicate with a crazy person, go to sleep." Luzhou was a little annoyed, he turned and laid down, and stopped speaking.

Xiao Yi wanted to say a few words of comfort, but to know what had happened was good enough, this was only a psychological factor. As long as he met someone he liked, he would definitely get better. That impulse is unstoppable, what this or that, it's all because he did not like the other person enough.

The next day in the morning, Xiao Yi got up from bed, and saw that Luzhou had already packed everything neatly.

"Discharge." Luzhou said.

Xiao Yi: "........"

Luzhou said: "If I still can't discharge, I will......."

"Alright." Xiao Yi said quickly, "I will go settle the discharge procedures, let's go."

Xiao Yi knew Luzhou would get mad if he still couldn't be discharged, so although the doctor had advised them to better continue the observation for a period of time, he knew Luzhou did not want to stay in the hospital any longer, and hence, he could only go settle the discharge procedures. He was still happy to be able to go home. The nurses all had chats and laughs with him, they did stay in the hospital for so long, and Xiao Yi was very popular, he even held a stack of books and cards for Luzhou to sign.

Luzhou was done with the signatures. When he was discharged, almost no one recognized him. He was also unwilling to take pictures with the hospital staff since he looked too haggard, and even lost a lot of weight, his hair was overgrown and messy, his moustache also grew out. He purposely left the moustache on the sides of his lips alone, so he looked like an uncle.

He had to have regular checkups even after returning to Beijing, and to do rehabilitation. Steel nails were still implanted in his shoulder, so Xiao Yi's intention was to rest for a period of time and stop filming. However, Luzhou was also bored at home, within that 3 months duration, his temper became worse and worse. 

Although he obviously was suppressing his irritability, but Xiao Yi could still tell, hence he tried to think of ways to tease Luzhou, to make him a little happier. After this setback, Luzhou felt like an entirely different person, he hardly scolded Xiao Yi anymore, and rarely ordered him around too. Once, Xiao Yi came downstairs, saw Luzhou washing his own cup, and momentarily got a shock. 

"Let me do it." Xiao Yi said, "Zhou Ge you ......." 

"What?" Luzhou stared at him, and said, "I am only moving for a while, it's been too long." 

Luzhou was thinner than before. The hair stylist had not been over to fix his hair yet, and he had the manliness of a decadent film emperor. Xiao Yi took the cup and started to wash it, Luzhou went to sit in front of the dining table, and began to cut mangoes with the fruit knife. 

Xiao Yi: "........."

"Eat." 

After Xiao Yi washed the dishes, Luzhou let him eat the mangoes, saying: "You eat." Then he got up and left.

Xiao Yi was a little scared, he was afraid this might be something like the calm before a storm, and said: "Zhou Ge......why are you not scolding me anymore?"

Luzhou: "........"

"You eat!" Luzhou said angrily, "Are you scared that I'll poison you?!"

Hence a reassured Xiao Yi ate. 

Luzhou treated Xiao Yi well, he did not get angry at him anymore. At night when he was shopping he even actually asked Xiao Yi. 

"Do you want to buy something?"

Xiao Yi was flattered, he felt that Luzhou must have been possessed by a spirit, and said: "No no no.... there's no need, Zhou Ge..... wu wu wu*...." *Sounds of crying

Luzhou looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi said: "You are being very scary like this, it's not trauma right..... are you okay...." 

Luzhou dropped the iPad, took a deep breath, and seemed like he was going to get angry at Xiao Yi. Hence, Xiao Yi looked at him with high expectations, waiting for him to yell at him.

"You go to sleep." Luzhou was actually under control, and said, "Go to bed early."

Xiao Yi: "........"

Luzhou was so polite, causing Xiao Yi to feel like they were estranged, and he could only say, "Alright......"

Xiao Yi walked away pitifully. Luzhou gave him a look, and seemed as if he wanted to say something, but refrained from doing so in the end. 

Xiao Yi went to swipe Weibo, and realized the crew had finished filming. After changing actors, Wu Henggu and Li Changzheng, along with the entire crew, had taken a group photo after the filming ended. There was no Luzhou in it, to the outside world they said Luzhou's old ailment had recurred, they were afraid to ignite the wrath of Luzhou's fans, and thus did not dare to state any more. 

On Luzhou's Weibo, he only shared with friends a picture of his kitchen, with a caption that stated he was finally home, this year he has to work extra hard, and has to film well. On the table there were cut mangoes in a plate, along with a fork. 

Xiao Yi did not repost the crew photo, and left a reply on Luzhou's Weibo: The mangoes are delicious, this year let's continue to work hard, but at the same time you must take good care of your body, take on dramas after you fully recover.

Xiao Yi swiped here and there, and an alert popped up after a while. Xiao Yi pressed it to see, and saw that Luzhou actually replied him. 

I am the genius Luzhou: Yes, thank you for your constant care, fortunately there was you by my side during the days when I was injured. 

Xiao Yi: " ! ! ! "

At this moment, Xiao Yi did not know how to describe how he felt, so it was like this? Luzhou's temper became so good was because he accompanied him?

When Xiao Yi saw this Weibo he almost cried, he felt both sad and happy, and placed his phone aside. He believed that Luzhou would definitely recover, in the future he would film many dramas, and continue to be everybody's male god. 

From that day onwards, Xiao Yi strictly followed the plan formulated by the physiotherapy consultant and dietician, and accompanied Luzhou for his light exercises and diet adjustments. A few days later, Dumei called asking Xiao Yi to come to the company, mainly to report on Luzhou's recovery progress and recent plans. 

"It's better not to film any dramas this year." Xiao Yi said. 

Dumei said: "This mainly depends on him. It's already October, only 1 out of 3 television dramas was broadcasted this year, if he does not maintain the topic trends during injury recuperation, and if this drags till next year, there will be lesser publicity." 

Xiao Yi did not dare to say any more, this sort of matter was not for him to decide. Dumei then asked: "The main point is whether he wants to film or not." 

Xiao Yi thought Isn't it faster if you just directly ask him this, but Luzhou indeed wanted to film dramas, he was actively making himself better as soon as possible. He had fell and injured his shoulder before, and that had left symptoms. The second time he had fallen it was fatal, he could not overwork nor even exercise. 

Medication, surgery, implanting steel nails all had great impacts on a person, and caused Luzhou to look a little haggard. 

"He wants to shoot dramas." Xiao Yi said, "But his physical strength cannot be burdened, especially in fighting scenes." 

Dumei thought and said: "You take this script back for him to review, if he is interested, then let him drop by anytime." 

Xiao Yi took the script, flipped a few pages, then said: "President Du, I think this is not suitable now, he needs to rest....." After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he realised Dumei's expression was not well. 

"Forget it then." Dumei said, "This drama actually wants Wu Henggu, I know I cannot force Luzhou, afterall the body is the most important, but this year he only has one tv drama, and neither ratings nor word of mouth were good. I'm doing this for his own good, you have to understand this Xiao Yi." 

Xiao Yi felt a little uneasy, he gave a thought and said: "I should still ask for his opinion first."

Dumei nodded her head. Xiao Yi knew Dumei must be unhappy about what he had just said, if everything was as per normal, he wouldn't say such things to Dumei. But right now, Xiao Yi already felt that Luzhou was the most important, even more important than his job. 

Xiao Yi took the script back. Luzhou did not even look at the script before saying: "Sure, you come with me to the company tomorrow." 

Xiao Yi: "Or you can think about it again? You're not short of money." 

Luzhou: "I am not short of money, but the thing is the fans can't wait, you understand? In two years if you are not in any popular dramas, you'll be out of style, and when you get behind, it will be impossible to make a comeback." 

Xiao Yi: "Can you do it?" 

"A little hardship means nothing." Luzhou turned his left hand backwards, pressed his right shoulder, and said: "It's normal to be injured during filming, which film emperor has not been injured." 

Thus, Luzhou signed the contract without even looking at the script, his remuneration was still very high, there was no reduction due to injury. Dumei seemed to have expected this outcome, and knew he would take on the drama, everything was already prepared for him. 

Xiao Yi was still somewhat upset. Luzhou faced him and said: "You don't know, this time I got injured, Dumei's loss is the biggest, let's not mention swapping for a lower salaried actor in the middle, the tv ratings might not be good, Li Changzheng that fellow can act, but he can't act well in tv dramas. Now this all depends on whether Wu Henggu can rise and hold the stage." 

Xiao Yi was a little jealous, he did not really want Wu Henggu to rise. But, Luzhou was very confident, and felt his own position could not be shaken. 

"Come, you read out the script." Once home, Luzhou immediately sat on the sofa casually.

Xiao Yi laughed, while a beautician was giving Luzhou a facial massage on one side, Xiao Yi was reading out the script on the other. Luzhou wanted to recover to his best state as soon as possible —— although the accident caused his skin to not look so good, or maybe it was because he was indeed getting old, he could no longer eat the same youthful meals, and had to think of ways to switch his image. After the new year, he would be 33 years old. 

Xiao Yi read the script once first, this drama was called 《Wind》. Luzhou's role was as an idle, rich second generation Li Guangming, everyday a group of friends will look for him to borrow money and to leech food and drinks. Finally Luzhou pursued a girl and emptied his family assets, only to discover that the girl was sent by his friends to cheat his money. 

Surprisingly, the ending of this drama was a non-mainstream model of the domestic dramas —— the second generation's wealth was gone, in the end he realized there was a girl who stayed by his side relentlessly, so love awakened. With their love for each other, they re-started their journey in life, and opened a bakery, as if implying they had both bread and love. The past wealth was forgotten, there was no entrepreneurship nor counterattacks in the future, only a plain life. 

"This drama is not bad." Luzhou said, "The ending is the scene when Li Guangming and his girlfriend opened a bakery?" 

"Yes." Xiao Yi said, "It's a very ordinary love story, adapted from a romance novel." 

The story was plain, so the demands on the actors were even higher, and the demands on the girlfriend the highest. 

As a result, Xiao Yi never expected it, they actually casted Ning Yaqing's confidante Qi Ai as the girlfriend. Luzhou had just accepted the drama, but that very night Ning Yaqing called. Xiao Yi picked up the call, the two laughed for half a day, and Ning Yaqing even went to the producer to ask for a cameo. 

Luzhou invariably made a noise, and Xiao Yi went to start packing to prepare to enter the crew. The drama was to be filmed in Beijing, there was no need to go to Hengdian again. However, in November the temperatures in Beijing started to drop significantly. The drama had all four seasons included, Luzhou's body was not fully recovered either, all these required preparation in advance. 

PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD ELSEWHERE.

The filming will commence in November and continue till January, once it ends they could prepare for the New Year. Xiao Yi was already planning, this year's end of the year bonus must not be little, he was prepared to take Luzhou to Canada for recuperation, the air over there was good, the food was also good, they could rent a cabin and he could cook for themselves. 

Everything seemed perfect, up until the day filming began. Beijing experienced the worst winter in 50 years, 

Xiao Yi was about to be frozen into a popsicle, but the filming location found by the crew had no heaters! 

The crew temporarily installed a warm current air conditioner, but with people coming in and out, it would not even warm up. Xiao Yi was like a Tzuki with snot dripping from his nose, he was shrunken into a corner shivering. 

"Visiting the crew!" Ning Yaqing gave Xiao Yi a pat.

"Sister Yaqing......hel.....hello." Xiao Yi looked at Ning Yaqing, he put on all of Luzhou's clothes, and said, "It's too cold."

Ning Yaqing didn't know to cry or laugh, she was donned in fur and sat on a pony next to Xiao Yi, asking about Luzhou's current situation. Although he was obviously very worried about the process of his recovery, Xiao Yi just kept saying that it was all okay. Shortly after, Luzhou finished his makeup, wearing cotton pajamas, he looked just like a warm male homemaker. 

"I'm going up." Qi Ai briskly took off her coat, flung it to her assistant, and applied eye drops. Ning Yaqing and Xiao Yi both faced her and said: "You can do it!" 

"Don't be too nervous." Ning Yaqing said with a smile, "Your male god will catch you."

Qi Ai gave a smug smile and stepped forward. The females were all looking at Luzhou, Luzhou in pajamas and cotton slippers was so gentle that it almost made the hearts of the people melt, his hair was newly styled, and under the lights his skin seemed to look good. 

But only Xiao Yi knew, when setting his makeup, that Luzhou's skin was no longer as good as before, and because of the injury, it was also lacking in rejuvenation. Fortunately, there was the presence of foundation, it gave a boost, and managed to hold up. 

There were also some effects from the supplements taken these days. 

The first scene was Luzhou finding out that Ai Ning was pregnant, a rival play between the male and female leads. 

Xiao Yi was a tad worried that Luzhou was not in shape, when he emerged from the dressing room, his lips were constantly mumbling something, it seemed to be the script's lines, this had never happened before. 

Xiao Yi sniffed his nose and stood beside Ning Yaqing, watching Luzhou nervously and thinking, Male god, you definitely must enter your state ah. 

Luzhou and Qi Ai got into their own positions, the mid court opened, Luzhou had learnt that Qi Ai is pregnant. Xiao Yi knew that this was a common screenwriting technique, the long-winded parts in front were all omitted, and the audience already knew the truth. 

For example: The previous scene, Qi Ai covered her stomach and came out from the hospital, then in the middle the scene where Qi Ai told Luzhou she was pregnant was cut out, when this scene started, it was Luzhou's reaction when he heard of the pregnancy. 

The sound of the clapper board signalled to begin. 

"What?" Luzhou looked at Qi Ai. 

Qi Ai just applied some eye drops, her eyes were teary as she stared at Luzhou.

"I said." Qi Ai said one word at a time, "I. Am. Pregnant." 

Luzhou's mouth twitched, he looked at Qi Ai, then he rolled his eyes and said faintly: "Then give it out." 

The entire audience: "......." 

It went silent for a few seconds, then all the staff burst out laughing.

"Give it out....." Ning Yaqing almost went crazy with laughter, Xiao Yi also could not resist and laughed maniacally, and the director joked, "It's get it out or give birth to it, what are you going to give out?" 

Only then did Luzhou realize he had mixed the words up, he was in between laughter and tears, as he waved his hands and said: "Sorry, I remembered wrongly." 

Xiao Yi knew Luzhou was thinking of getting it out and giving birth to it, and got momentarily confused, but these words were really super funny. The two of them got into their respective positions again. 

"I. Am. Pregnant." 

Luzhou: "Then get it out." 

Lucily this time Luzhou did not say "Then birth it out", or else Xiao Yi will go mad from laughter. Qi Ai stomped the floor, and with tears she angrily said: "This is your child!" 

"Don't be so agitated." Luzhou said coldly: "Stomping like this, aren't you afraid of miscarriage?" 

Xiao Yi: "........"

Ning Yaqing: "This script.....who wrote it, I can't stand it anymore....."

This sentence was said correctly, but Xiao Yi felt that Luzhou was a little out of sorts, and was unlike his usual sudden transformation into the protagonist. 

"Do you know?" Qi Ai burst into tears and said: "My friends are all persuading me to give it out.... Sorry, I also remembered wrongly....." 

Luzhou laughed out loud. Qi Ai was shivering from the cold, and had to go drink some hot water, while the coordinator turned the warm current air conditioner to blow towards the two of them. Luzhou and Qi Ai were both not in their states, the first scene had to have compatibility, and Xiao Yi instinctively felt that something was not right. 

Usually, no matter which scenes, Luzhou had always been able to get into character in a flash, but today he and Qi Ai's plays were all not quite normal. 

The third time, Qi Ai gradually found her state, Luzhou who was showing a rogue smile said: "Then you give birth, I will raise it, all right?" 

Qi Ai's expression changed, she stared at Luzhou blankly. Luzhou raised his eyebrows, and said lazily: "But I won't marry you." 

Qi Ai couldn't breathe, and her expression fleetingly changed. Xiao Yi thought Qi Ai's acting was really good. She backed a step. Luzhou's smiled ironically, and said: "If the child goes to you, I will pay you money, but if the child is mine, you don't have to bother." 

Qi Ai's expression had anger, forbearance and unwillingness, and what was more was the anger resulting from the insult. 

"So?" Luzhou murmured, and continued to poke Qi Ai's belly with his finger, and then he was stuck. 

Two seconds later, the director yelled cut, and Luzhou said: "Sorry, forgot the lines."

Qi Ai went to rest for a while. Luzhou came over to look at the script, and filmed the scenes once more from the top. This time Luzhou was definitely not in his state, even Ning Yaqing realized. Ning Yaqing seemed to want to say something, but didn't say it. 

"If the child goes to you......"

Xiao Yi had been staring nervously at Luzhou, when he showed a hesitant expression, Xiao Yi immediately raised up the blank page behind the script, with the word "alimony" written on it. 

".......I will pay alimony." Luzhou said lightly, "If the child is mine, you don't have to bother."

Qi Ai gasped, bitterly holding her tears back, and shivered non-stop.

Luzhou poked her belly again with his finger and said: "Besides, I don't even know whether the child is mine or not." 

"Cut." The director said. 

Xiao Yi let out a sigh of relief. 

Director: "NG, start again."

Xiao Yi almost wanted to go hit a wall. 

Luzhou leaned on the table side to drink some hot water. The director went over to say a few words, and Luzhou nodded his head to show that he understood. Xiao Yi quickly wrote the keywords with a marker pen by the sidelines, he divided this scene's lines into five parts, once it began, Xiao Yi would hold the paper and show it to Luzhou from afar.

The thing he was most worried about had finally happened, the last time Luzhou took a blow to his head had not been without sequelae, he remembered all the things, all the people, the only thing that went wrong was memorizing lines —— it was not that he could not memorize at all, but that he had to think about it. 

Once he had to think, there would be a pause, and the sense of the drama would disappear in an instant. 

From the beginning till the end of the scenes, Luzhou was unnatural. The director saw Xiao Yi holding the paper and showing it to Luzhou from faraway angles, but did not say anything. 

The staff whispered a few words in discussion. Xiao Yi's heart seemed full of sweat, he knew his actions were tantamount to letting people know that Luzhou couldn't memorize lines, but even if he did not resort to this, Luzhou would also miss out sentences or words, and would also get stuck somewhere. 

Sometimes he could remember all the lines from the scene, but sometimes he forgot one or two sentences, or even one word. 

Luzhou was completely out of his state, and had to reshoot several times. The director was finally okay with the footage, but Xiao Yi was not relieved of this heavy weight, he got even more worried. The next scene was of Qi Ai rummaging through the office looking for something, so Luzhou turned around and walked over quickly. 

Xiao Yi and Luzhou stood in the freezing cold corridor. Luzhou did not need to say anything, he smoothed his short hair back tiredly, and said: "Show me the script again."
