"Hello..." Lin Zhiyi wanted to ask Xiao Ci how he was injured, but a busy tone came from the other end.
Lin Zhiyi tried calling again but couldn't get through. Apparently she had been blocked.
He...deleted his number a long time ago?
After realizing this, Lin Zhiyi felt sad.
But then I thought about it, he hated the Lin family so much, and they were already strangers, so deleting it seemed to be the best choice.
Maybe she should too - her fingertips hovered above the screen for a long time, but she didn't press the delete key in the end.
Forget it, he's still injured.
When you get to know each other, you always have to determine what a person is like.
With this thought in mind, I went out and called Fu Yuchen.
What happened a while ago has come to an end, and he has slowly returned to work. At the moment, he is shooting a magazine cover with a photographer.
It wasn't over yet when Lin Zhiyi arrived, so he watched for a while.
It wasn't until he finished one set and went to the locker room to change that his Xiao Zhu led him there.
Xiao Zhu told the staff that Fu Yuchen was tired and needed to rest for five minutes, and then poured water and handed it to them respectively.
"I feel sorry for you." In this case, there was naturally no freshly ground coffee to drink.
"I'm not that delicate." Lin Zhiyi said.
"I know." But some people are born with the tendency to unconsciously want the best for them.
Lin Zhiyi is this kind of person,
Lin Zhiyi looked back at him, as if she had something to say.
"I'm surprised that you came to see me." Fu Yuchen said happily.
"I actually have something to ask you for help with," Lin Zhiyi said frankly, feeling a little ashamed.
"Just say it." Fu Yuchen said.
"Do you know anyone on the crew of "The Legend of Green Silk" that was launched not long ago? For example, the director, or even the stage manager?" If she remembered correctly, it should be this name.
Fu Yuchen looked at her after hearing this. Although he thought it was unlikely, he still asked: "Did you also like other celebrities besides me when you were studying?"
Lin Zhiyi felt ashamed and explained half-lying: "No, I have a friend of a friend who seems to have been injured on the set. I can't contact you now. I just want to help her ask how he is injured?"
In fact, it is not difficult for her to know the news about Xiao Ci. What is difficult is not letting her brother know.
As for the people she knew, her brother basically knew them and were very familiar with them. So as long as she passed through those people, the news would definitely reach his ears.
Besides, Lin Zhiyi didn't want to appear in front of Xiao Ci rashly, as it would be very embarrassing if he misunderstood that she still had unresolved feelings for him.
After much deliberation, I could only go through Fu Yuchen.
She really had no other thoughts, she just simply wanted to know how he was doing.
"I'll let Xiao Zhu ask." Fu Yuchen agreed readily.
Although he didn't know whether Fu Yuchen believed what he said, he didn't ask any more questions, which made Lin Zhiyi relieved and grateful.
At this time, Fu Yuchen's assistant Xiao Zhu came over to urge me. Later, the workload was heavy and time was really tight.
Fu Yuchen really couldn't make time to entertain Lin Zhiyi, so he didn't try to persuade her to stay. He only said that he would let her know if there was any news.
Lin Zhiyi didn't dare to waste his time any more. The two exchanged a few words and she left, saying she would treat him to dinner in the future.
Passing by Lin's Building on the way back to the studio, Lin Zhi realized what he had promised his brother... This shouldn't be considered a broken promise, right?
But after all, I felt sorry for myself, so I bought the coffee my brother liked downstairs and brought it up, intending to ease the relationship between the two.
"Ms. Lin."
"Ms. Lin."
Lin's employees greeted her familiarly, and Lin Zhiyi nodded one by one. Even Lin Zhiyan's secretary didn't stop her when he saw her walking towards Lin Zhiyan's office.
Because although she no longer works at Lin's, she used to come here often.
Through the glass, you could see that the assistant was reporting work. Lin Zhiyi opened the door without knocking, and heard Xiao Ci's name.
"He is currently in Huiya Private Hospital——"
The assistant's report stopped suddenly. Lin Zhiyan looked at her unexpectedly and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"
Don't blame him either.
Because in the past, Lin Zhiyi did come here every now and then, but since what happened with Xiao Ci, she hasn't been here for a long time.
"Are you talking about Xiao Ci?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"No." Lin Zhiyan denied, then opened the drawer and put the documents in his hand naturally.
Lin Zhiyi snatched it away, glanced at it and asked, "What happened to Xiao Ci? Were you the one who asked someone to do it?"
She thought her brother would keep his promise.
Lin Zhiyan didn't want to argue with his sister in front of outsiders, so he said to his assistant: "You go out first."
The assistant got the order, left quickly, and closed the door.
"We, the Lin family, have already sorry for him, why do you want to kill him all?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"I just let people look at him." Lin Zhiyan explained.
Lin Zhiyi laughed, obviously not believing it.
She put down her coffee, turned around and walked out.
Lin Zhiyan grabbed her and said, "Zhiyi, we are enemies. Do you think he is capable enough and will not seek revenge from us?"
If he hadn't been worried about his sister, Lin Zhiyan would have chopped her into pieces long ago based on what Xiao Ci did to her.
These words made Lin Zhiyi more sure of her previous suspicion. She said: "But brother, that is a living person. I can't accept the fact that he destroys others because of his own selfishness."
She knew what her brother said was true, but she just didn't want to help others do evil, and that person was still Xiao Ci.
Doesn't he think that the Lin family has already sorry enough for Xiao Ci?
"Everything you said is right, but the Lin family cannot afford to lose." If he loses, his family will be ruined, and Lin Zhiyan cannot take risks.
He knows that what his sister said is right, but he has reached this point and cannot turn back, and the Lin family cannot afford to lose.
Lin Zhiyi was disappointed and painful. She did not argue with her brother because there would be no result.
She knew her brother too well, and he would not change his decision easily. And from what position would she change?
For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be more afraid of the unknown consequences, or whether she should be more worried about Xiao Ci.
After coming out of Lin's Building, she sat in the car and held the steering wheel for a long time, her mind still not calming down.
Until her cell phone rang in the private room, she glanced at Fu Yuchen, pressed the answer button and asked quickly: "Is there any news?"
"The crew had an accident yesterday. An actor playing the male supporting role fell off the wire. It seems his name is Xiao Ci. He is still in the hospital at the moment. Is he the person you are looking for?" Fu Yuchen asked.
When Lin Zhiyi heard Xiao Ci's name, her heart tightened and she asked, "How is he injured?"
"I don't know. I just heard that he is still in a coma." Fu Yuchen replied.
Coma? It’s been a day and a night.
"Are you okay?" Fu Yuchen could tell that something was wrong with her from her breathing, and asked worriedly.
Lin Zhiyi came back to her senses and said, "No, thank you." Then she hung up the phone.
By the time she calmed down, she had already exited the city center and onto the highway.
It was originally impulsive. When I came to the door of Xiao Ci's ward, I didn't know whether I should go in or not.
Does he know that his brother is responsible for his accident? How can he face him? After hesitating, he heard vague voices coming from inside:
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Ci?"
"What Xiao Ci?"
"It's the one called the New Year's benefit at the New Year's Day party."
"Oh, it's really him. He looks even better than on TV."
"Yeah, I just started to become famous when something unexpected happened."
"That's not right. Isn't he a star? Why does he live in an ordinary ward? There isn't even a bodyguard outside?"
Their hospital is the closest to the film and television city. Occasionally, celebrities who are injured or sick come from the set. They have seen such scenes before.
"Needless to say, it has just become famous and it has not yet made any money.
I heard that the company he signed with is also a small and broken company, not professional at all and has no background."
"Maybe I've offended someone, otherwise it's been so long since the accident happened and there's been no report. Have you seen someone from the production crew come over to ask?"
"Then it can't be like this. He's too pitiful."
The two of them were guarding the client in the ward, chatting so unscrupulously, and they must have been convinced that Xiao Ci couldn't hear him.
But these words fell into the ears of Lin Zhiyi outside the door, and they made her feel sad.
"When do you think he will wake up?" The nurse's tone changed, as if she had some idea.
"What do you want to do?" Another nurse probably heard it and asked nervously.
"Such a good opportunity, but if he becomes popular in the future, he won't have the chance. You don't want to-"
Lin Zhiyi listened to the first couple of words, but before she could finish speaking, she opened the door with a bang.
I saw the nurse bending her head, pretending to kiss Xiao Ci. She was startled when she heard the movement, and then stood up straight in fright.
"Who are you?" The nurse asked pretending to be calm when she was caught doing something bad.
"His friend." Lin Zhiyi looked at her with deep eyes.
Although Lin Zhiyi did not step forward, nor did she directly separate the two people surrounding Xiao Ci's hospital bed, the aura emanating from her body was a bit breathless.
"Could she be my girlfriend?" She looks like she's going to kill someone with this aura?
Lin Zhiyi didn't answer.
But the nurse was scared and said: "His assistant went out to buy food and asked me to take care of him.
Well...since you're here, we have other work to do, so I'll leave it to you."
After the nurse finished speaking guiltily, she grabbed her colleague and left quickly.
Of course Lin Zhiyi was very angry, but considering that Xiao Ci was still a public figure, if he made a big fuss, it would only make people laugh, so he had no choice but to endure it.
Turning his eyes, he looked at Xiao Ci seriously.
He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, lying quietly on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, unaware of what was happening to him.
If I hadn't arrived in time, I might have eaten a lot of tofu.
Why haven't you woke up yet? Where is the injury?
Lin Zhiyi pulled up his hospital gown and found that there was no bandage on it. She then touched his leg through the cloth and found that everything was normal.
Lin Zhiyi felt strange because there were no wounds on Xiao Ci's head, let alone redness or swelling.
Could it be that the internal organs were injured?
But the ordinary ward he stayed in shouldn't be life-threatening.
After thinking this, he calmed down and his eyes fell back on Xiao Ci's face, but the image of the nurse trying to kiss him flashed through his mind.
Although I thought he might not have been kissed, I went to the bathroom, wetted a towel, and wiped it with him.
Not sure if the temperature of the towel irritated him, Xiao Ci frowned slightly and heard a vague moan in his mouth.
Lin Zhiyi felt nervous and quickly stood up, but he grabbed her wrist.
Lin Zhiyi's heart trembled, and as her center of gravity became unstable, it took a lot of effort not to fall on him.
But their faces were so close that her breath could brush against his face, and it was also confirmed that Xiao Ci was not awake at all.
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously held her breath, and saw his lips moving, not knowing what he was saying.
I leaned my ears closer and looked carefully to hear clearly, he was shouting: "Zhiyi..."
Did he know it was him? Or was it simply unconscious?
It was undeniable that Lin Zhiyi still felt ripples in her heart.
However, she didn't indulge for too long. Thinking that Xiao Ci's assistant should be back, she tried to pull out her wrists.
I didn't expect that the other person was unconscious but very energetic.
Mainly because Lin Zhiyi didn't want to wake him up, so he finally broke free after a lot of effort.
She wanted to leave quickly and discuss the situation with the doctor in private.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw two figures walking towards him, one of them was Li Shuhuai.
She would definitely bump into someone if she went out like this. She panicked and simply hid in the bathroom.
The two doors opened and closed at the same time. Lin Zhiyi leaned his back against the door panel and heard the young assistant ask: "Brother Li, how is the crew doing?"
"What can I do? I don't plan to use us anymore." Li Shuhuai replied.
"Brother Keci was injured on the set?" the assistant complained.
"So what? They can't delay the progress just to wait for us." Li Shuhuai was still relatively calm.
"What about the shots Ci Ge took before?" the assistant asked.
"Cut it and reshoot it." Li Shuhuai replied.
"They don't mind the trouble either." The assistant hummed, and then comforted himself: "Forget it, depending on Brother Ci's conditions, the fire will happen sooner or later, and it doesn't have to be their loss."
"Don't talk too much. Is there still a shortage of good-looking people in the entertainment industry? I was afraid that someone would say hello.
Who told us that we have no one and no background, so let’s get through it slowly.” Li Shuhuai sighed: “It’s just that we finally became popular, but after a long time, we dissipated.”
There was a brief silence in the room, and then the person on the bed groaned.
The assistant turned to look over and shouted in surprise: "Brother Ci is awake."
Li Shuhuai also approached and saw Xiao Ci opening his eyes and looking at the ceiling, with no intention of speaking.
"Brother Ci, do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need to call a doctor?" the assistant asked.
Xiao Ci shook his head.
"Do you want some water?" the assistant asked diligently.
"No, I need to go to the toilet." Xiao Ci replied.
"Okay." The assistant helped him stand up.
The two came to the door of the bathroom. The assistant wanted to open the door for him, but found that it couldn't be turned.
"Could it be broken?" He frowned and muttered.
"Move aside, I'll do it." Xiao Ci stretched out his hand.
Although the assistant looks weaker than him, Xiao Ci is still sick after all. How can he be stronger than himself?
"How about I take you out? Then ask someone to come and take a look." The assistant said worriedly, and saw that he actually twisted the doorknob and then pulled hard.
The bathroom door was still opened, and then a woman's figure appeared and jumped directly into Xiao Ci's arms...
