Lin Zhiyi woke up naturally after sleeping. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the bed in the bedroom.
Feeling nervous, she sat up and found that Xiao Ci was not there, and her clothes were intact.
There was some faint movement outside the door. She got out of bed, opened the door and smelled the aroma of food.
When I came to the kitchen, I saw Xiao Ci busy.
Xiao Ci turned to see her and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Are you cooking?" Lin Zhiyi felt a little strange.
She had often tasted Xiao Ci's cooking skills before, so of course she would not doubt it.
But in her impression, the kitchens equipped in hotel rooms, although they have simple seasonings and kitchen utensils, are mostly just decorations.
"Go wash up and then eat." Xiao Ci said.
Lin Zhiyi nodded and returned to the room.
She found a new set of clothes and took a shower. When she came out again, the food was already on the table.
It's been a long time since she's eaten rice cooked by Xiao Ci, but the taste is still the same, and she also likes porridge.
Eat until your stomach feels warm and comfortable.
Xiao Ci calmly took her satisfied look into his eyes, and both of them made a tacit understanding not to mention the past.
After dinner, Lin Zhiyi took Xiao Zi to the hospital for infusion.
Because of what happened yesterday, I gave him a hat, sunglasses, and a mask today, fully armed and wrapped up tightly.
Xiao Ci was not used to it and said it was uncomfortable to hold it in.
"There's nothing you can do about it. Who told you to rely on your face to make a living?" Lin Zhiyi glared at him.
"Damn, this is a typical example of me not making enough money and finding my own fault." Xiao Ci muttered dissatisfied.
"No swearing." Lin Zhiyi glared at him.
This woman has been taking more and more care of him these days.
Although Xiao Ci had some criticisms, he did not refute.
After arriving at the hospital, I naturally didn’t dare to infuse in the infusion room. What if I was recognized?
In the ward, the nurse gave him fluids and left.
Lin Zhiyi sat by the bed and kept watch. Nothing happened, so she just checked the news.
There was news last night that he took a woman and ran wildly through the movie studio, but it didn't get much attention.
She was secretly relieved but also worried that the entertainment industry was changing rapidly, and if he didn't show up as soon as possible, he would soon be forgotten.
No, the media decided that not many people were paying attention to him and they were too lazy to give him traffic, so the next step was crucial.
After all, when he first became famous, his commercial activities not only paid him little, but he certainly didn’t have any sense of existence.
Big brands don’t use endorsements because they are not famous enough. For small brands, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and it may still have an impact on them in the future.
Lin Zhiyi was thinking about it in his mind when his cell phone rang, and he accidentally glanced at Li Shuhuai.
Did he, the manager, finally remember that there was an artist under his name?
Lin Zhiyi thought dissatisfiedly that Xiao Ci had already connected the call: "Hello?"
Li Shuhuai knew from the tone of his voice that he and Lin Zhiyi were together. They had probably been oppressed for a long time, and he was still timid to call the boss by his first name.
"Well... the director made a new appointment for dinner at 8pm. I will send you the address later." Li Shuhuai considered his words.
Because they are inherently unequal, they always seem to lack confidence.
"Okay." Xiao Ci responded.
"You must perform well." Li Shuhuai acted bravely.
"Yeah." Xiao Ci gave him another word.
The pressure was all on Li Shuhuai. He couldn't bear it anymore and hung up the phone in a hurry.
The ward was so quiet, and Lin Zhiyi was beside Xiao Ci, so she naturally heard the conversation clearly.
Want Xiao Ci to perform well? Did he read the script to Xiao Ci? And shouldn't his manager accompany him when meeting the director? Moreover, this was Xiao Ci's first contact with the director.
"Your manager, wouldn't he just randomly pick you up on the street like the person I met last night?" Lin Zhiyi asked suspiciously.
Xiao Ci nodded.
"Xiao Ci!" Is he dizzy?
Why are you a highly educated person? Don’t you check the company’s qualifications before signing a contract?
As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost. With his appearance and condition, why can't he find a reliable company?
"He promised to give me a large share of the profits, freedom, and shares in the company." Xiao Ci replied.
Lin Zhiyi frowned. This explanation made sense, but when would two people with no personal connections be able to come forward?
Compared with those who debuted earlier, his age does not have an advantage, it is the same for men and women.
The golden period in front of the camera is right there. If you waste it any longer, you will become completely useless.
Thinking about fire is like a dream.
After the infusion, Xiao Ci fell asleep due to the effect of the drug.
Lin Zhiyi quickly asked someone to pretend to be someone from the crew and re-sent the script to Xiao Ci.
When Xiao Ci woke up, he was not in a hurry to leave the hospital. Lin Zhiyi showed great interest and studied the script with him.
Although it is considered an informal decision, you still have to leave a good impression on the director, right?
Seeing how seriously he was thinking, Lin Zhiyi went out for a trip. When she came back, she brought a dust bag for clothes and handed it to him: "It's almost time. Let's change into it and go straight away."
"No need? Do you still need to change clothes?" Is a director worthy of this?
"Stop talking nonsense, just change it if I ask you to." Lin Zhiyi urged.
Xiao Ci had been lying down all day, and his clothes were all wrinkled. How could he go out to meet people?
Xiao Ci changed his clothes cooperatively, and Lin Zhiyi helped him straighten his collar. He really wanted to sigh: It turns out that a person depends on his clothes.
Although he looks handsome no matter what he wears, he is even more stunning when dressed up carefully.
"Do I really want to dress like this? Is it too exaggerated?" Xiao Ci asked.
"What's exaggerating? Don't artists just want to show their glamorous side to the audience?"
She also chose this dress carefully, and the way Xiao Ci felt wearing it was very similar to the temperament of the third male lead in his script.
"Are you sure the director is a man? Why do I feel like you are asking me to betray my lust?" Xiao Ci asked deliberately.
"It's a man, but it's not safe either. Have you never heard of homosexuality?" Lin Zhiyi deliberately teased him.
"Lin Zhiyi." He pretended to be angry.
Lin Zhiyi didn't take it seriously.
She sent him outside the hotel and returned to the hotel herself.
Dinner alone was a bit deserted, so I just took a few bites and then took care of business.
Unknowingly, the night got late, and Xiao Ci never came back.
Although I knew nothing would happen, I couldn't help but check my watch frequently.
Until there was a sound from the door panel, as if something had hit it, which startled Lin Zhiyi.
She slowly got up from the carpet and walked to the door. She listened carefully and there was no movement again.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly opened the door a crack. Xiao Ci, who was sitting on the ground and leaning on the door panel, lay directly on the ground.
"Xiao Ci!" Lin Zhiyi stepped forward quickly, trying to help him up.
But he was so drunk and heavy that he couldn't move at all.
I was worried again, how could he drink while he was still sick? Was he forced to do so? It was all my fault that I didn't say hello to the director beforehand.
"Xiao Ci?" After trying for a long time, he couldn't move, so he had to call him.
Xiao Ci opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "Lin Zhiyi?"
"It's me." Lin Zhiyi replied, and then said: "Get up."
Xiao Ci probably listened to it, and slowly stood up in cooperation. However, he drank too much, and his legs and feet were not working at all, and almost all of his body weight was on Lin Zhiyi.
The bedroom was too far away, and he looked very thin yet very heavy. He felt like he would be crushed down at any moment.
Finally, I simply put him on the sofa, covered him with a quilt, and then closed the door.
"Peng!"
There was another muffled sound of something heavy falling to the ground behind her. Lin Zhiyi turned her head and saw him falling off the sofa again.
He was quite a big man and just lay on the carpet like that. The fall probably didn't hurt him too much because he didn't move at all.
Lin Zhiyi felt a headache after watching it, so she came back and shouted: "Xiao Ci?"
He still didn't react at all.
Lin Zhiyi originally tried to help him back to the sofa, but he failed to cooperate. After a lot of effort, he finally fell back onto the carpet.
Not only that, but her arms were also pressed underneath.
Lin Zhiyi tried to pull it back. After all, the blood would not circulate and would become numb over time.
But he turned sideways and hugged her naturally.
The posture is like hugging a pillow or a stuffed doll. Don't look too dependent on it.
Lin Zhiyi suddenly softened her heart and did not push him away.
Looking at him from a close distance, Xiao Ci was defenseless and not aggressive, more like a big boy.
It's a pity that no one is not forced to grow up...
When Xiao Ci woke up, it was already the next morning, and Lin Zhiyi in his arms was no longer there.
When he realized that he was sleeping on the ground, he frowned, and then he didn't know whether it was because he was hungover or because the floor was too hard, but he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Are you awake?" came Lin Zhiyi's voice.
Xiao Ci was a little surprised when he saw her coming out of the kitchen: "Get up so early?"
Lin Zhiyi didn't answer because it was obvious. She came over and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"No, I have a headache." Xiao Ci didn't show off.
"Then drink it and go back to the bedroom to sleep for a while." Lin Zhiyi put the honey water in her hand on the coffee table.
Xiao Ci probably felt too uncomfortable, so he drank the water obediently. Then something suddenly occurred to him and asked: "What time is it?"
At the same time, he touched his cell phone, looked at it, and quickly stood up.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiyi was confused.
"Director Sun said that one of his friend's actors on the crew here resigned, and he thought I would be a good fit, so he recommended me to come and have a look," Xiao Ci explained.
"Now?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
Xiao Ci nodded. He went to the bathroom to wash away the smell of alcohol. After changing his clothes and coming out, he saw Lin Zhiyi putting the computer back again and now busy on the coffee table.
"Aren't you going to send me there?" Xiao Ci asked.
"You're not a big shot, it'll be fine if you cover it tightly." Lin Zhiyi had a lot of things at hand and felt that he could solve this problem by himself.
"But my injury hasn't healed yet, and I drank wine last night. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to me at the scene?" Xiao Ci reminded.
Lin Zhiyi's hand on the keyboard paused for a moment, and finally he closed the computer, put it in his bag, and said, "Let's go."
The car followed the navigation to the set, but the filming area was not accessible.
Lin Zhiyi said she would wait for him in the car, so Xiao Ci went by herself. She continued to turn on her computer to handle business matters.
An hour later, Xiao Ci sent her a message saying that he was trying on clothes. If possible, there would be a shooting in the morning.
Lin Zhiyi thought that the work would end early and the two of them could go directly to the hospital, so he replied: "Yes."
I was just busy for a while, but Xiao Ci didn't come back.
She sat for too long, unable to stretch her legs and feet, and her waist was sore, so she simply closed the laptop and got out of the car to relax her muscles.
I looked around and happened to see a truck delivering lunch boxes.
After thinking for a moment that I had never seen a live shooting, I followed him in and looked for Xiao Ci.
The scene was bustling with people, all kinds of shooting equipment and props were strewn all over the floor, and the extras were sitting on the ground casually, making the scene a mess.
Naturally, Lin Zhiyi couldn't get close to the scene where the newspaper was being shot. After looking from a distance, Xiao Ci was nowhere to be seen, so he wanted to look for it backstage.
I asked someone on the way and was given directions, but for some reason I kept getting further and further off the road. It looked like there was construction going on here, and there were racks and structures erected everywhere.
Have you lost your way?
Lin Zhiyi took out her mobile phone to send a message to Xiao Ci, and Xiao Ci asked her to take a photo.
"Wait, I'll come find you." Xiao Ci replied.
Lin Zhiyi stopped running around and waited with peace of mind.
About five minutes later, Xiao Ci appeared, saw her from a distance, and shouted: "Lin Zhiyi!"
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously looked up and saw Xiao Ci, who was still wearing a costume. Not to mention, it looked like that with a hood on it.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Ci walked towards her.
"Hey, that woman over there, don't stand under the shelf, it's dangerous!" shouted the construction worker nearby.
Lin Zhiyi turned her eyes, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She subconsciously looked up and saw a black thing falling from the top of her head.
Things happened so suddenly that there was no time to react.
In a flash of lightning, someone suddenly hugged me, and even the back of my head was protected by big hands.
As the familiar hormones penetrated her nose, she saw the brick suddenly hit the back of Xiao Ci's neck, and then rolled down.
His body trembled and he bit his lip, unable to let out a muffled groan.
"Xiao Ci!" Lin Zhiyi shouted anxiously.
Maybe it was too painful. Xiao Ci held her arm tightly without letting go. Instead, he held her tighter. It took a while before he uttered two words: "It's okay."
His face was pale and there was cold sweat on his forehead. How could he be okay?
"Let me take a look." Lin Zhiyi was eager to check his injuries.
Xiao Ci still didn't let go.
Lin Zhiyi didn't know if he needed his own support to stand, because the weight of his body was unconsciously pressing on him.
Lin Zhiyi was as anxious as a dream and said, "Let's go to the hospital now."
After a while, Xiao Ci's hold on her relaxed a little.
Lin Zhiyi took out her mobile phone and said, "Is that okay? Call 120?"
Xiao Ci looked at her and said nothing.
Lin Zhiyi was anxious and stood on tiptoe to see the injury on his back, but he was too tall and she couldn't turn behind him.
The skin on the back of my neck was scratched and it was already swollen very high: "Does it hurt?"
Xiao Ci nodded.
"Why are you so stupid?" If it falls on your head, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Are you touched?" Xiao Ci asked, seeing that she was about to cry.
"Yeah." Lin Zhiyi nodded.
"Then kiss me." Xiao Ci said.
Lin Zhiyi looked at it. If he had not just seen a brick hit the back of his neck when he made this request, he would have suspected that he was just faking it.
But at this time, she was drowning in his eyes and could no longer think too much. She stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips.
