Chapter 35

Qi Xiaoyu was nonetheless slightly confused. He picked up the little black canine and patted the highest of its head comfortingly. He subconsciously retorted, “It’s not black. The eyebrows are white.”

The pet barked coquettishly as if asking for credit score, after which nuzzled Qi Xiaoyu’s hand docilely.

Qi Xiaoyu pulled it into his arms and rubbed its neck.

Instantly after feeling the dying gaze from Xun Qian, Qi Xiaoyu instantly opened the quilt, picked up the little black canine, and bought up from the mattress. “I simply bathed it earlier than bringing it right here yesterday…”

Xun Qian smiled and at last seemed away from the little black canine. “I’m hungry.”

Qi Xiaoyu wasn’t significantly better both. He went to mattress with out consuming dinner yesterday, and now his abdomen was growling.

He took out his telephone and seemed on the time. It was solely half previous 5, so Mama Li and Butler Cheng in all probability hadn’t gotten up but.

“I’m going to warmth up some meals…and make some porridge for you?”

After strolling just a few steps outdoors, he turned again and requested, “How about you go downstairs and we eat within the eating room collectively?”

The eating room has floor-to-ceiling glass home windows going through the out of doors garden. A row of brief, four-season begonias, with clusters of pink flowers blooming, was on the finish of their flowering interval.

In such a faint morning mild and a chilly winter morning, it’s good to eat a steaming breakfast whereas ready for the solar to rise little by little.

Xun Qian contemplated for a second, then rotated in his wheelchair and adopted him.

Qi Xiaoyu used the leftover rice to prepare dinner a pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, one bowl for himself, one for Xun Qian, and one other bowl for the little black canine.

After choosing out just a few leftovers and heating them up, the 2 of them quietly ate breakfast within the room, illuminated by the morning mild.

The solar within the winter morning rises from behind Xun Qian, passes by way of his golden hair, and falls on Qi Xiaoyu’s fingers holding the spoon reverse, masking it with a layer of heat yellow shade, after which continues to shine on the little canine.

The whole lot appears to be shining, mild, and heat within the morning after a darkish night time.

After Qi Xiaoyu completed consuming, he was able to return to the set.

The little black canine, mendacity underneath the window basking within the solar after ending its meal, noticed Qi Xiaoyu rise up and scratch the bottom with its paws. It instantly bought up and wished to go away with him.

Because it handed by Xun Qian, it was picked up by a pair of chilly fingers.

Xun Qian pinched a bit of easy fur on the again of its neck and smiled softly. “Preserve this little man right here; don’t take him away.”

The little black canine appeared to know Xun Qian’s that means. It barked twice, “Woof, woof,” then flapped its 4 paws within the air towards Qi Xiaoyu.

Xun Qian, nonetheless, appeared as if he didn’t see it. He stretched out a slender finger, scratched the pet’s chin, and teased it, “Don’t bark; I’ll feed you scrumptious meals.”

Qi Xiaoyu was slightly hesitant. He noticed that Xun Qian’s complexion seemed a lot brighter than final night time, though he didn’t know if he was feigning it…..

Whereas he was hesitating, Butler Cheng, who had simply gotten up, knocked on the door and got here in. “Mr. Qi, simply depart the pet at house. I’ll assist maintain it.”

Qi Xiaoyu felt relieved and mentioned, “Okay, I’ll be again after filming in just a few days. I’ll bother Uncle Cheng and the Third Grasp to maintain him for me.”

Xun Qian simply teased the canine along with his fingertips and turned the wheelchair in a special path, blocking the little canine in entrance of him.

*****

Qi Xiaoyu returned to the crew, and after one other three or 4 days of filming, it was time for his final scene: falling from a cliff.

Younger Prince Yan wished to sneak out with the military and had simply slipped out of the capital when he occurred to come back throughout the feminine lead being chased. In an effort to defend the feminine lead, he was stabbed from behind and fell from the cliff.

The dream of household and nation, the younger love, got here to an abrupt finish.

For security causes, the scene of falling off a cliff was shot in entrance of a inexperienced display with a mat beneath for defense.

Nonetheless, Qi Xiaoyu nonetheless wished to leap down from the highest with a wire.

Earlier than the official capturing, Qi Xiaoyu and Xu Yan have been doing last touches within the dressing room.

Within the studio, the place folks have been coming and going, the employees have been all decreasing their heads and doing what they have been doing.

Essentially the most leisurely individual is Younger Grasp Jiang, who retains swaying round everywhere.

Though this scene had nothing to do with him…he had gotten used to following Qi Xiaoyu not too long ago. When he noticed Qi Xiaoyu filming, he subconsciously adopted him to the studio.

He wandered round in boredom, not understanding what to do, and at last discovered a reclining chair, crossed his legs, took out his cell phone, and ready to proceed watching a mixed-edited video of Xue Qingchu that he had not completed watching final time. To be trustworthy, he in all probability has tons of of such movies on his telephone.

He unlocked the display of his telephone, and earlier than he entered the video app, he heard somebody calling him.

Tang Kui stood on the high of the 4 or five-meter-high inexperienced display and waved at him, “Jiang Sicheng, Younger Grasp Jiang, come up?”

When Jiang Sicheng heard Tang Kui calling him, he raised his hips, turned his physique, and adjusted path, along with his again to Tang Kui.

Tang Kui was not aggravated and continued to shout to Jiang Sicheng, “I’ve one thing to let you know about Qi Xiaoyu and Xue Qingchu. Don’t you need to hear it?”

Jiang Sicheng’s ears twitched, and he stood up.

Tang Kui pretended to be profound and stopped speaking.

After a minute, Jiang Sicheng slowly put away his telephone, stood up from the recliner, and walked in the direction of Tang Kui with informal steps.

“What did you say you wished to inform me simply now?”

Tang Kui stood on high and waved to him, “You come up first, after which we are able to discuss.”

Jiang Sicheng reluctantly walked up.

Tang Kui smiled when he noticed Jiang Sicheng arising. “I heard a couple of journey selection present not too long ago. Evidently each Xue Qingchu and Qi Xiaoyu are invited.”

After that, seeing Jiang Sicheng present an indignant expression for a second, Tang Kui added one other blow: “What? Younger Grasp Jiang doesn’t know? They have been really useful by Orange Juice Leisure.”

Jiang Sicheng’s face darkened, attempting to not present his feelings too clearly.

However he was so indignant that the curly hair on his head shook barely.

Tang Kui grinned and sighed. “With this lengthy journey and spending time collectively day and night time, I actually don’t know what is going to occur on the best way.”

“Younger Grasp Jiang, don’t you need to do one thing?” Tang Kui mentioned, choosing up the wire from the bottom as if he have been bored. He seemed forward after which stuffed it into Jiang Sicheng’s hand. “Say, if this wire is damaged and somebody falls down, it have to be very painful.”

Jiang Sicheng was nonetheless eager about the range present and adopted Tang Kui’s phrases to look down under. Though it was solely three to 4 meters excessive, if he hit his face on the mat, he would possibly get a scratch, break his nostril, or one thing.

It took him some time to comprehend the that means of Tang Kui’s phrases. He took a step again and distanced himself from Tang Kui. “G-g-get misplaced; if you wish to commit a criminal offense, commit it your self. Don’t bullsh*t with me.”

After saying that, he checked out Tang Kui with disgust and mentioned, “What the hell?”

Tang Kui laughed twice with self-deprecation, clapped his fingers, and mentioned, “Okay, should you don’t need to, neglect it; simply deal with it as a joke.”

After saying that, he confirmed one other faux smile and walked off the highest of the inexperienced display.

Jiang Sicheng was nonetheless eager about the range present Tang Kui was speaking about and stood there for some time till the director entered the scene and shouted at him from a distance, “Jiang Sicheng, you don’t have any scenes at present. What are you posing up there with wire in hand? Are you ready for somebody to take a photograph of you?”

Solely then did he come to his senses, put down the wire, and stroll down.

He was put in a foul temper by Tang Kui, and he didn’t really feel like tailing Qi Xiaoyu anymore.

Simply as Qi Xiaoyu got here out of the dressing room, he noticed Jiang Sicheng strolling away.

He gave Jiang Sicheng a puzzled look, questioning why he was climbing up there alone and why he left first at present with out ready for him to come back.

This confusion lasted till the employees tied the wire on him, and the director mentioned to him from under, “Xiaoyu, there’s a cushion under. You possibly can simply fall down later. Calm down and don’t be afraid.”

“Yeah.” Qi Xiaoyu nodded.

Instantly afterwards, simply earlier than the employees cleared the scene and ready to start out capturing, Qi Xiaoyu abruptly considered one thing: “Wait a minute, don’t shoot but.”

Then he shouted to Li Kun, “Come right here and assist me pull the wire to strive.”

Not sure why, Li Kun gripped the tip of the wire and pulled.

“No, pull more durable; use all of your energy.”

Li Kun nodded. As quickly as he put all his energy into it, he heard a “click on,” and the metal wire broke.

Xu Yan, who was standing subsequent to Qi Xiaoyu, frowned. She sensed one thing however determined to maintain quiet for now. She simply rotated and mentioned sternly to the employees, “What’s happening? What if one thing occurs if he falls this excessive?”

The director noticed all this from the digicam and rushed over, angrily shouting, “Why did the wire break? The place’s the props crew? Do you not need this job?”

The employees from the props crew quietly got here to test and muttered in a low voice, “I checked earlier than, and it was nice. Who knew it may break so simply?”

“It was nice, nice sufficient to interrupt with a pull?”

Because the director mentioned this, he instantly considered Jiang Sicheng standing there with the wire when he entered the scene simply now. Jiang Sicheng likes to confront Qi Xiaoyu in every little thing, and everybody within the crew can see it.

Though he was normally very imply to Jiang Sicheng when he was filming, this matter couldn’t be dealt with too rapidly if it was actually associated to Jiang Sicheng. In spite of everything, Jiang Sicheng is the son of the proprietor of Orange Juice Leisure, and he has to present them some face.

He mentioned to the folks on the props crew with a sullen face, “Go and get a brand new wire instantly.”

He comforted Qi Xiaoyu and mentioned, “Possibly it’s too chilly, and this wire has been used for too lengthy, so it’s frozen. Thankfully, you discovered it in time and weren’t injured. You go and have a relaxation first. We’ll exchange it with a brand new one, then start capturing once more.”

After saying that, he patted Qi Xiaoyu on the shoulder.

“Um.”

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t say something in entrance of the director and agreed very sensibly.

Subsequent to him, Li Kun reacted in a short time and took out his cell phone to take a set of photographs of the place the place the wire was damaged as proof.

*****

Though there was a small accident, the next scenes of serving to the heroine block the knife and falling off the cliff went easily.

After the filming, everybody gathered across the foam mat to drag Qi Xiaoyu up and assist him untie the wires on his physique.

The director checked out him with a responsible conscience and mentioned, “Return and have a superb relaxation. Keep in mind to come back again on the ultimate day in order that we are able to all have a meal collectively.”

Xu Yan glanced on the director and snorted. She had been on the set for thus a few years and had a transparent understanding of what had simply occurred. She knew that the director was afraid of by chance offending folks. She sympathized with Qi Xiaoyu, who had no background and was bullied however couldn’t say a factor. She may solely hug him and say, “Subsequent time, search for your sister to shoot a drama collectively.”

“Effectively, thanks, Director Zhu, and thanks, Sister Xu.”

After strolling out of the studio, Qi Xiaoyu seemed again and mentioned to Li Kun, “When you have time within the subsequent two days, go and discover out why Jiang Sicheng went as much as the inexperienced display roof simply now. Aside from him, has anybody else been there, particularly Tang Kui? Take note of his whereabouts prior to now few days and see if there’s any surveillance right here or if anybody has taken a video or one thing…”

Earlier than Qi Xiaoyu completed talking, a automotive parked on the roadside beeped twice.

Instantly, the automotive window rolled down, revealing Xun Qian’s chilly face.

Xun Qian saved a low profile at present and drove over in an Audi A8. Qi Xiaoyu didn’t even acknowledge it was his automotive.

Li Kun was surprised for a second when he noticed Xun Qian. It wasn’t that he knew Xun Qian, however he simply felt that he had by no means seen such a handsome man within the leisure trade. These “golden beauties,” “heartthrob arsonists,” and “peerless visuals” that have been used to reward celebrities are actually appropriate for use on him.

It’s simply that… his eyes have been slightly too chilly and slightly too oppressive. Even when Li Kun thought he was essentially the most gorgeous individual on the earth, he would naturally look away.

Qi Xiaoyu was additionally surprised for a second, not anticipating Xun Qian to come back right here.

He despatched Li Kun away, then lowered his physique and requested, “Third Grasp, why are you right here?”

Xun Qian pressed the energetic, leaping little black canine into his arms. “I used to be passing by way of on an errand and stopped by to have a look.”

The creator has one thing to say:

Lazy Third Grasp: “There are individuals who don’t have eyesight. What ought to I do?”

Xiaohei: woof, woof, woof
