After hearing this, Mo Xi nodded and left the shooting scene. When he changed his clothes and was about to say hello to Director Chen and prepare to leave, Director Chen looked at Mo Xi's face again, shook his head and said.
"Go back tonight and apply some medicine to try to reduce the swelling on your face first, otherwise you won't be able to take on the show tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Director Chen. I won't let myself affect the crew's filming, so I'll leave first. Thank you for your hard work, Director Chen."
"It's not hard. Oh, by the way, the crew has prepared dinner for you. Just take the lunch box back and bring it to you tomorrow morning. Mr. Xiao is also here. Thank you very much."
Director Chen knew that Mo Xi didn't say anything to Xiao Yiheng, otherwise the situation would not have been calmed down so easily just now.
When Mo Xi heard the last words, he smiled awkwardly. It seemed that people had misunderstood him. Finally, Mo Xi left the crew with a heavy heart, called a car, and returned to the city.
She has been filming on the set for the past few days. Every time she comes back, she goes to the set very late at night. She goes to the set early in the morning. She has not seen her brother for several days.
Mo Xi's younger brother is fifteen years old this year and is in junior high school. However, he has been out of school for almost a year due to health reasons. Normally, Mo Xi has time to take care of his younger brother's food and daily life, but since he joined the crew, he has been inseparable.
Her neighbor's aunt was nice, so Mo Xi asked her neighbor's aunt to cook three meals for her brother every day and visit her occasionally. She would give her a little money every month. The aunt was quite dedicated.
Mo Xi came back early tonight, and his younger brother happened to be having dinner at the neighbor's aunt's house. Mo Xi got out of the car and bought some fruit to send to the aunt's house.
"Sister, did you come back so early today?"
As soon as Mo Xi entered, a figure slightly taller than her rushed over and hugged Mo Xi.
Mo Xi hurriedly caught it and then said with a complaining look on his face.
"Why are you running away again? Didn't I tell you that you can't..."
"You can't run but you can jump, sister. My ears are almost calloused when I hear this. Isn't this a good thing for me?"
"Xiao Xi finished work so early today. Have you finished your meal? Do you want to join us?"
The speaker was Aunt Ma, a neighbor who was also Mo Xi's landlady. The house Mo Xi lived in now belonged to Aunt Ma. Aunt Ma was a widow. She lost her husband in her early years and her son in middle age. She was also a hard-working person.
After that, I rented Aunt Ma's house and lived there for almost two years.
Aunt Ma also knew some of Mo Xi's experience. Maybe she lost her child and was alone, so she loved Mo Xi's siblings as her own children. Sometimes when Mo Xi was in a tight situation, Aunt Ma would not rush to pay the rent.
In order to thank Aunt Ma, Mo Xi often helped her do whatever he could.
Mo Xi put the fruit bag in his hand on the cabinet nearby, then took out the lunch box brought back from the crew and said.
"I brought dinner back. Aunt Ma, thank you for cooking for Xiaoyi these days. This is the rent for the next two months. Please collect it."
As Mo Xi spoke, he pushed an envelope to Aunt Ma. Inside was five thousand yuan, two months' rent.
After Aunt Ma heard this, she quickly excused herself.
"You kid, why are you so anxious? Isn't it time to collect the rent yet?"
"Aunt Ma, just keep it. You have already rented the house to us cheaply. Is it possible that we still have to rely on your rent? Don't worry, I have a lot of money recently. Xiaoyi's operation was very successful and I won't need to do it often in the future.
Being hospitalized, the financial pressure is not as great as before, and now that I am filming, I earn much more than before."
Mo Xi said with a grateful face, she and her brother lived in a small two-bedroom house. According to the rental market in Kyoto, a house of the same size in this area would cost 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month. Aunt Ma only charged
They are already losing money at 2,500 yuan a month.
When Aunt Ma heard this, she accepted the envelope without further delay, then pulled Mo Xi to sit down and said.
"You came back early today, so let's have dinner together."
After dinner, Mo Xi took Mo Yi back to the next door. Mo Yi was in much better spirits than before. The operation was indeed successful, but Mo Xi was not completely relaxed because this operation could not cure the root cause.
For Mo Yi's disease, the best solution is a heart transplant.
But heart transplant surgery is not something you can do if you want to. First, there are no suitable organ donors. Furthermore, even if someone donates, they will have to afford a huge surgical fee, plus post-operative recovery and long-term medication.
The medicines cost a conservative estimate of two million, which is an astronomical amount of money for Mo Xi, not to mention she has a fixed debt every month.
"Sister, why are you dazed?"
Mo Yi took a glass of water and sat across from Mo Xi. He had something to say.
Mo Xi came to her senses and put away the account book in her hand. This book recorded the daily expenses of their siblings, as well as every debt she had to bear.
"Xiaoyi, how are you doing these days? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? You can't hide it from your sister. My sister is now filming and makes much more money than before."
"Sister, don't worry. I was just about to tell you about myself. You see, I'm recovering so well after the operation. I want to go back to school. The high school entrance examination will be in half a year, and I don't want to miss it."
Mo Yi spoke obediently. He had always obeyed this sister out of respect and more because he didn't want her to worry about his own affairs. He felt sorry for this thin sister.
When Mo Xi heard this, he hesitated. To be honest, compared to her brother's body, other things were really not important at all. Even if Mo Yi never went to school again, as long as he could be safe, she would be at ease.
But Mo Xi saw the desire to go to school in Mo Yi's eyes, she thought for a moment and said.
"So, aren't you going to the hospital for a review the day after tomorrow? If Dr. Qin says your condition is stable, then my sister will go through the procedures for you to resume classes, okay?"
"Really? Sister, you have to keep your word. I think I am as strong as a cow now, so there will be no problem. It seems that I have been studying hard at home these days, so don't lose me at school.
The position of a top student."
Hearing Mo Yi's confident expression, Mo Xi also felt a lot more relaxed. Since his brother's surgery was completed, and seeing his brother's health getting better day by day, Mo Xi's heart seemed to have dropped.
"Okay, look, I forgot Doctor Qin's advice again, control your emotions."
When his sister said this, Mo Yi immediately put away the smile on his face, then hugged Mo Xi and said with some emotion.
"Sister, when I grow up, I will take care of you."
"Okay, then sister, let's wait for our Xiaoyi to become an upright man. It's getting late, so let's take a rest."
After saying that, Mo Xi rubbed Mo Yi's head, got up and went back to his room.
Fortunately, when she came back, she put a thick layer of foundation on her face to avoid scaring Mo Yi. Although Mo Yi noticed her swollen face, he brushed it off by saying she had wisdom teeth.
At this moment, Mo Xi stood in front of the mirror. The makeup on his face had been removed, and half of his face was swollen. Mo Xi wrapped an ice cube in a towel and applied it coldly. The coolness penetrated into his skin, which alleviated the burning pain on his cheek.
After taking a shower, I washed off the clothes that had accumulated over the past few days, and when I lay down on the bed, it was already eleven o'clock in the night.
In the past few days, Mo Xi could only sleep for three or four hours a day. No, he was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he fell on the bed, without even hearing the text message notification sound on his cell phone.
In the morning, before five o'clock, the alarm rang, and Mo Xi almost jumped out of bed. It took an hour by car from where he lived to the film and television city. She had her scene at seven o'clock this morning, and Mo Xi only spent a dozen or so.
After a few minutes, I finished washing and came to the door.
The small bedroom next to it was extremely quiet. Mo Xi did not disturb Mo Yi, but took a bag of bread from the refrigerator and hurriedly left the rental house.
At six o'clock, Mo Xi had already arrived at the set. Most of the actors who had scenes in the morning had gathered in the dressing room. When Mo Xi arrived, the makeup artists were all busy, so she could only find a corner to wait.
"Mo Xi, why are you here? Didn't you receive a notice yesterday? Your play today was postponed."
Among the makeup artists, a production coordinator who had a good relationship with Mo Xi asked in surprise when he saw Mo Xi.
Mo Xi was stunned for a moment, then picked up her phone and found an unread text message, which was the message informing her that she would not come to the set today.
"Sister Zhang, I was too tired last night and went to bed very early. I didn't bother to check my phone in the morning, but why was it suddenly postponed? Did something happen?"
Generally speaking, the crew will give notice of daily filming arrangements several days in advance, unless there are some emergencies.
The coordinator known as Sister Zhang came to Mo Xi's side mysteriously and whispered.
"According to reliable information, there are some changes to Jiang Luyao's scenes. Last night, the screenwriter, Director Chen and Producer Xu had a meeting all night, so today we will shoot some scenes with big scenes. Look, the leading actors didn't come. I think you don't
Go back first, I will notify you in advance when filming will start."
When Mo Xi heard this, he became even more confused. The script had been revised several times before it was finally finalized. Although it was common for scripts to be changed during the filming process, it was a little weird to change the scene of the female lead.
