Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng

On the way back to Lidao by car, Lu Xiaoyan slowly came to his senses. The more he thought about it, the more he felt naive. How could he believe the unproven nonsense of the old master?Cigarette cases, document bags, pen holders, lighter cases, and handmade leather goods that are useless and useless have been ordered a lot. Just thinking about it, I can smell the stench of "cooked" leather all over my nose.For this occasional brain short-circuit phenomenon, he found a good reason for himself——

Well, it was all influenced by Ling Xi!That's right!It's all Lingxi!

When the kung fu phone rang at the red light, I picked it up and saw that it was Fang Yao, my little mother. Without asking, she asked him to go back to participate in a boring family dinner. give up.After a while, Mu Xia also called. Lu Xiaoyan vaguely remembered that Mu Xia asked him to attend some shitty concert a few days ago. He was not interested at all, and he didn't bother to make excuses, so he simply hung up.

The cross-sea bridge was severely blocked, and the car stopped and stopped for a long time, unable to move a few meters. Lu Xiaoyan was just about to smoke a cigarette to relieve boredom, when the third call came, it was Lin Guangle.This time he picked it up, and he couldn't wait to answer it: "A Le, what's the matter?"

From Lin Guangle's mouth, of course it can't be a serious matter: "Are there any plans for the evening? How about going to eat hot pot together? I have a friend who opened a new store, and asked me to find more people to support..."

Lu Xiaoyan didn't care what to have for dinner: "Where are you?"

Lin Guangle seized the opportunity and vomited bitterness again: "Of course Manager Lin is doing what a manager should do. He is accompanying 'Brother One' in the company to prepare a new song for the competition. Hey, I specially hired a teacher from the Conservatory of Music for him." The arrangement I made over here is so effective, you can come and listen to it later, and then let's go eat..."

"Wait, I'll go right away." After getting the desired information, Lu Xiaoyan didn't bother to listen to Lin Guangle's rambling anymore.He just wanted to see Ling Xi, and it happened that Lin Guangle gave him an excuse, otherwise even he himself would not know why he had to see Ling Xi for no reason.

The office location of the new company was selected by President Lin, and the decoration style was completely in line with Lin's "Children's Paradise". In addition to the labyrinth-like layout, red, orange, yellow and green glass partitions, he A leisure area has also been opened up separately, from billiards to darts to miniature golf to slot machines.When Lu Xiaoyan arrived at the company, President Lin was stalking Aunt Cleaning and insisting on using Tarot cards to count peach blossoms for her. Due to his status, Aunt Cleaning couldn't resist forcefully, but that expression was clearly better than drinking clean The potion is also ugly.

Lu Xiaoyan walked around the intricate office area several times, and finally found Ling Xi who was crouching in a corner and concentrating on reciting new lyrics.Ling Xi wore a loose and bulky light gray thick sweater, her hair was limp, her expression was listless, her two long legs were propped up lazily on the sofa, wishing she could shrink into a ball of wool.

Ling Xi also held an extra-large thermos cup in her hand, which was filled with throat-moisturizing tea made with honey mangosteen fruit. Baomei asked her mother to help cook it. It is said that it is a unique secret recipe handed down from the ancestors.Ling Xi caught a cold a few days ago, with a persistent low-grade fever and sore throat. Although she had injections and medicines, she didn't get better.Seeing that the game was coming, he was anxious, so he went to the doctor in a hurry, holding Baomei's mother's throat tea from morning to night like a baby, and took a big sip from time to time.

In the finals, each player has the chance to perform two songs, one is a group duet for the opening warm-up, and the other is a free-playing solo. In the middle, several contestants' schedule reviews and highlight clips will be inserted.Because it was the last show, the organizer set the theme as "Classic and Inheritance". In order to fit the theme, Ling Xi specially selected an old song to adapt, combined with his own characteristics, added fresh elements on the original basis, and made a contribution to the same song. The melody endows different souls, and also provides him with more space to play.It's a pity that he had a problem with his throat. He tried to sing several times but it was not satisfactory. He either couldn't get up the key, or simply broke his voice. In order to protect his voice, he didn't dare to do too much practice. After a whole day, his mood has fallen to the bottom.

Seeing Baomei happened to pass by, Lu Xiaoyan pulled him to him, and waved his chin at Ling Xi who was sitting in the distance: "How is he? Is he better? Do you have that 'unique secret recipe'?" Effect?"

Baomei shook her head sadly: "The throat is not feeling well at all, it's true that I urinate too much."

Most of the company's employees, including Baomei, don't know that Lu Xiaoyan is the boss behind Century Tianxing. In everyone's eyes, he is just an idle, wealthy gay guy, and one of President Lin's friends, so there is no taboo in speaking. .

Baomei's answer obviously did not satisfy Lu Xiaoyan: "Forget it, go help him clean up and prepare for dinner."

"What are you eating?" Baomei muttered in a low voice, "I've filled my stomach with water, and I can hear the sound of 'gurgling' water when I walk by, so I can't even eat."

When Lu Xiaoyan heard this, his face became stinky instantly: "What did you do, why did you pour so much water on him?"

Baomei pouted her mouth in grievance, and even squeezed out her double chin: "I can't help it. He is so stressed now that he is stupid. If I don't give him this, he will always want to take medicine. Medicine They are all rationed, and you can’t eat too much, what should you do instead?”

Lu Xiaoyan's lips moved, and for a moment he couldn't think of a suitable word to refute. He paced back and forth depressedly, loosened his tie angrily, and whispered to himself, "Trouble, what a fucking trouble."

After smoking a cigarette while standing by the trash can at the corner, Lu Xiaoyan swayed to Ling Xi's side, and asked as gently as possible: "Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

With a huge headset on Ling Xi's ears, he didn't hear Lu Xiaoyan's words. It wasn't until Lu Xiaoyan stretched out his hand in front of his eyes and shook it that he realized that there was someone more beside him.In order to protect his voice, he tried his best to avoid talking these days, and his spirit was a little weak, so he just glanced at Lu Xiaoyan casually, without even stopping for half a second, he quietly sneaked back into his own world.

Lu Xiaoyan raised his hand to try the temperature of Ling Xi's forehead, but Ling Xi nimbly tilted his head and dodged it, with a hint of resistance in his expression.Lu Xiaoyan had no choice but to take off Ling Xi's headset directly: "Can you listen to me first? If you are not feeling well, go home and rest. It's just a game. How important is it? Is it more important than health? If so, I will Just don't participate."

Ling Xi glanced at him silently, then took the headset back from his hand, and put it on his ear again.

"Hiss..." Lu Xiaoyan's stubbornness also came up, and he stretched out his hand to pick off Ling Xi's earphones, but Ling Xi just refused to pick them off for him, and the two of them tugged like kindergarten children, losing control of their strength. The connection cable was torn off abruptly, making each other startled.Ling Xi grabbed the bald hair and looked left and right, staring at it for a full minute, then stood up expressionlessly, and walked towards the small meeting room next door with long legs.

"Hey," Lu Xiaoyan took a few steps to catch up with Ling Xi, "Come on, don't be sullen, I'll pay you a new pair, right?" Adding the size, "Or I will pay you two pairs, and you can choose the brand, okay?"

Seeing Ling Xi entered the door, he was about to follow in, but Ling Xi slammed the door behind him, almost causing his nose to bleed.

Lin Guangle, who happened to come over to find someone, saw this scene, and unconsciously gasped and covered his buttocks, as if he had already felt the power of being kicked in advance. He thought that Lu Xiaoyan would definitely be furious at being treated like this, but unexpectedly Yes, Lu Xiaoyan not only didn't lose his temper, but instead held the door open to discuss with Ling Xi in a soft voice: "By the way, why don't I just pay you for the orpheus? I heard that you all like music, and you're an audiophile." Beloved..."

After waiting for a long time without any movement from Ling Xi inside, Lin Guangle rushed over recklessly: "Xiaoyan, you have changed, you were not like this before!"

Lu Xiaoyan raised his eyebrows: "What was I like before?"

Lin Guangle pointed out the window: "In the past, you would have kicked people into the opposite building."

Lu Xiaoyan squinted at Lin Guangle: "Have you ever heard a saying? A bird that can be held in your hand is a dead bird." In fact, he also found himself becoming more and more able to control his emotions in front of Ling Xi, and for There was a little bit of pride in this life.

Lin Guangle intentionally misinterpreted his words, and said with a playful smile: "Forget about dead birds and live ones, isn't it only loners like me and Datou who hold 'birds' in their hands? Lise's, hahaha..."

Lin Guangle just laughed halfway, when he was interrupted by Lu Xiaoyan's slap on the back of the head: "Say everything out, do you want to put a condom on your tongue? Don't look at it..." He quickly moved towards the tight Glancing at the closed door, he threatened Lin Guangle in a low voice, "Anyway, if you talk too much, I'll show you what a real 'dead bird' is!"

The hot pot was too hot, Ling Xi's throat was inflamed and he couldn't eat it, so Lu Xiaoyan dragged him to drink porridge.Lin Guangle was put on a temporary dove, so he had to gather several employees of the company to cheer for his friend's newly opened hot pot restaurant.But he is the boss after all, no matter how easy-going and unassuming his temper is, it is definitely not a good job to eat at the same table with the boss, so one or two of the invited guests made excuses and slipped away, and in the end only Baomei responded stupidly accepted his proposal.

Baomei has a round body and full cheeks. She looks chubby and full of vitality. She never yells about dieting and losing weight like other girls. Lin Guangle is quite satisfied with such a "fan friend".

Because the environment was unfamiliar, Lin Guangle parked his car on the ground floor of the building two streets away from the restaurant by mistake. After he came out, he realized that he had found the wrong place. The two had to walk to the hot pot restaurant.

Since it was agreed that Lin Guangle would pay the bill, Baomei was naturally happy, she didn't even bring her wallet, she only wore a pair of thin woolen gloves to keep out the cold.Her main job is to take care of Ling Xi and help Ling Xi deal with daily chores. For the convenience of movement, she usually dresses in sports and leisure. The combination of a pullover hoodie, jeans, and canvas shoes is simple and comfortable.In the evening, the weather was not too cold, and the gloves were not yet useful, so Baomei stuffed them into the large front pocket of the clothes.

As soon as the two of them reached the intersection, suddenly a few luxury cars drove up from a distance and stopped right next to them. When the doors opened, a large group of jeweled women in red and green rushed out of the car, and Lin Guangle was thrown into the car in an instant. Surrounded in the middle with Baomei, and looking at Baomei back and forth, they started a heated discussion on twitter.

The first to bear the brunt was an old lady with silver hair and exquisite makeup. She was very excited at Baomei's little belly supported by gloves: "Ale, is that her? Is it her? You brat has a bit of vision, um, you look very cute." A bit of grandma's demeanor back then..."

Next to her was a middle-aged woman wearing jade earrings, a jade necklace, and a jade bracelet. In short, her whole body was green and shiny, and she rushed to hold Baomei's hand: "Okay, okay, my aunt is very satisfied, I like it at first glance, this big face looks like I am blessed with a big face..."

Another woman in a rose-colored cheongsam and a high-grade fur went around and nodded and said, "The ass is bigger than your little aunt's, and she definitely has potential. I wouldn't mind giving birth to ten or eight of them." Down……"

Criticism came and went, several women almost quarreled over weird questions such as whether Baomei weighed 120 or 130 jins, whether she liked sour food or spicy food, whether the pimple on her left cheek was hot or cold, and finally It was Lin Guangle who stepped forward to stabilize the situation: "Grandma, elder sister, younger sister, aunts, aunts and aunts, don't forget that this is a public place, on the street!"

The group of women looked at each other, scrambling to express their opinions: "Yes, yes, yes, it's really not good to disturb your young people's date like this. Let's wait for the official meeting. We'll wait for the official meeting. This time, we will pretend that we didn't see anything!" After speaking, they swarmed back to the car, yelling, "Driving, driving, walking, we didn't see anything, so hurry home and go for an eight lap!"

After the cars drove away one after another, Lin Guangle explained to Baomei in embarrassment: "Don't worry about it, those are my family members. My family members are a little strange. In fact, they also misunderstood and thought you It's mine... Well, they are actually engaged in performance art, flash mob, you know, hahaha..." Lin Guangle thought the words he said were humorous, but Baomei didn't respond at all, and kept the previous posture Standing there with a tangled expression on his face made him feel even more sorry, "Hey, are you okay? Isn't it scary like this? Well, I admit that their appearance is indeed a bit scary..."

After he had nothing to say for a long time, Baomei turned her head and said with a smirk intoxicated: "Pinch me quickly and let me see if I'm dreaming... Oh my god, I'm long It’s so big, and it’s the first time I’ve seen so many luxury logos dangling in front of my eyes at the same time, ah, it’s really... so enjoyable!"

Lin Guangle couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you surprised by the logo, not the luxury product itself?"

Baomei punched him on the shoulder triumphantly: "You are stupid, that's because I only know the logo!"

He confessed that his father, Lu Yuanteng, was going to have a health checkup on the weekend morning, and Lu Xiaoyan bravely accompanied his father, acting as a filial son and grandson.Rich people cherish their lives. My father routinely undergoes a comprehensive physical examination every six months. He is also accompanied by a dedicated family doctor and nutritionist. In recent years, he has suffered from joint problems, so he hired a private physical therapist come over.

Of course, the reason why Lu Xiaoyan can spare time to act is not just pretending to be filial and gaining favor. His real goal is the new family doctor introduced to his father by his mother, a guy named Zhuang Xin.The so-called strange things must have demons, the former family doctor has served his father for more than three years, has been dedicated to his duties without any mistakes, and suddenly was dismissed by his mother with random excuses, and this Dr. Zhuang appeared to be a friend of his father Introduced, in fact, I and my little mother Fang Yao have known each other for a long time, and have worked together in the same hospital, especially the sentence my sister said at the funeral, "I haven't made it clear about you and the little doctor", which made me Lu Xiaoyan has a deep memory.

At first, Lu Xiaoyan thought that this man was having an affair with his young mother, so he asked a private detective to investigate for a period of time. The result was that his young mother had indeed met Zhuang Xin secretly many times, but each time was not long, and it was not in the hospital Even in a place like a coffee shop, although the relationship seems relatively close in the photos, it is far from being ambiguous, which is quite beyond Lu Xiaoyan's expectations.Whether it's prejudice or preconceptions, Lu Xiaoyan never believes that Fang Yao's intention to marry a rich man twenty years older than her is out of some bullshit "true love".

There are many items that need to be checked, and the operation is a bit cumbersome. Fortunately, I greeted you in advance and did not make an appointment for other guests.While sitting in the waiting room next to the clinic drinking coffee, the inspection report came out. When Dr. Zhuang came in with the report, he glanced at my mother intentionally or unintentionally. Their eyes met. My mother's eyes were full of searching, while Dr. Zhuang He nodded lightly as if to say hello.These subtle movements did not escape Lu Xiaoyan's eyes, and he was even more certain that there must be some kind of ulterior secret between Xiaoma and Dr. Zhuang, and this secret was probably hidden in the medical examination report.

The content of the report belongs to the professional category, and many data outsiders cannot understand. They are basically translated and explained by Dr. Zhuang. There is only one report. There should be archives on the private computer.In order not to arouse suspicion, Lu Xiaoyan deliberately did not pay much attention to that report, and just leisurely admired the abstract paintings hanging on the wall of Dr. Zhuang's treatment room, and secretly observed Dr. Zhuang behind him through the reflection of the frame. Every move I made, I didn't expect that a good opportunity would soon be waiting for him...

The moment Dr. Zhuang returned to his desk and turned on the computer, Lu Xiaoyan walked over with a cigarette in his mouth: "Excuse me, is there a fire?"

Dr. Zhuang looked up at him in surprise, and pointed to the no-smoking sign on the wall beside the door: "Sorry, you seem to have forgotten that this is a hospital."

Lu Xiaoyan slapped his forehead: "I forgot, I really forgot, I said why I always feel wrong for most of the day." As he spoke, he took off the cigarette, rubbed it twice, and threw it into the trash can in the corner.

Out of professional habits developed over the years, Dr. Zhuang advised casually: "I still suggest Mr. Xiao Lu that you quit smoking as much as possible. Now that the environment is seriously polluted and the air quality in cities is poor, it will have a certain impact on the human heart, lungs and respiratory tract. , smoking will undoubtedly compound this harm.”

The computer screen turned on, and the password input box popped up immediately. Because there was a large writing desk in the middle and the monitor blocked it, Lu Xiaoyan couldn't see the keyboard and the content on the screen at all, so Dr. Zhuang didn't take precautions at all, so he directly Enter the password to turn on the computer.But he didn't realize that the large glass mirror frame hanging on the back betrayed him, and every number he pressed was faithfully alluded to Lu Xiaoyan to know without any effort.

Lu Xiaoyan silently wrote down Dr. Zhuang's power-on password, smiled calmly and nodded: "Thank you for your suggestion, I will think about it carefully."

Turning around to leave Dr. Zhuang's consultation room, Lu Xiaoyan took out his mobile phone, quickly entered the password he had just written down into an email, and sent it.If there is no accident, then within a night or two, the same medical examination report will be sent to him...

There was a smell of disinfectant in the corridor, and the nostrils were cold when exhaled and inhaled, which made Lu Xiaoyan unconsciously start thinking about Ling Xi again.During this period of time, Ling Xi always smelled of disinfectant after taking injections and medicines, and no amount of perfume could cover it up.

Unexpectedly, it would be such a coincidence, as soon as Lu Xiaoyan accompanied his father in the car to leave the hospital, Lu Xiaoyan saw Ling Xi's nanny car pass by and drive in.Running to the hospital means that Ling Xi's condition hasn't improved yet, but it's the weekend, and the competition will be in a few hours. Due to the many people around him, it's inconvenient for Lu Xiaoyan to contact Ling Xi immediately, so he can only think to himself Pray that everything goes well.

It wasn't until he sent his father home that Lu Xiaoyan quickly found a secluded place and called Lin Guangle: "Hey, Ale, did you take Ling Xi to the hospital again?"

It seemed inconvenient to speak at the other end, Lin Guangle deliberately lowered his voice: "Oh, take him to the hospital for an injection, it's still a throat problem..."

Lu Xiaoyan followed in a hurry but couldn't exert his strength: "It's time to get an injection? What's going on?"

"Oh, just now..." Lin Guangle replied vaguely, "This will take time... the effect will be very fast..."

Lu Xiaoyan immediately realized that the "injection" Lin Guangle referred to was not the same as usual. Many singers had encountered similar situations on the eve of concerts or large-scale events. Suddenly, their throats were swollen and hoarse, and they couldn't sing anymore, so they had to go for an injection. A special anti-inflammatory injection. This kind of needle needs to be clamped out with pliers and directly hit the vocal cords. Not to mention the pain, most doctors do not recommend it because the drug contains hormones.

Lu Xiaoyan was worried about Ling Xi's health, and felt sorry for his bad luck that couldn't be driven away. The most terrible thing was that once Ling Xi made a decision, it would be difficult for others to change it.No matter what, Lu Xiaoyan decided to give it a try: "Ale, give Ling Xi the phone number, I have something to tell him."

After a long time of tossing and rustling on the other end of the phone, it was still Lin Guangle's voice: "It's not convenient for him right now, so if you have something to say, just say it, and I'll help you convey it."

Lu Xiaoyan took a deep breath, and patiently persuaded him: "Tell him, you can't be too forceful in life, and many things may be counterproductive. If the state is really not good, you can abstain from the game tonight. He is still young. If you have a chance, study hard and sing well, how many championships will you not win in the future?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Guangle murmured and complained: "I told him the same way. I talked about all kinds of reasons, and even my lips were worn out, but he said...he said..."

Lu Xiaoyan asked angrily: "What did you say?"

Lin Guangle seemed very helpless: "He said that it is not easy for him to stand on stage and sing, one or two minutes cannot be wasted, even if one day he dies, he must die on stage."

"Ha," Lu Xiaoyan almost laughed angrily, "Then let him die!" After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Just because you ignore a lot of things doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Thinking of the upcoming finals and the championship trophy that Ling Xi is striving for, Lu Xiaoyan feels even more uneasy.

In fact, he had already obtained the VIP ticket presented by the organizer, but whether it was to cover up his complicated identity or to protect Ling Xi, he was not suitable to appear in the auditorium.Lu Xiaoyan held the ticket in his hand and looked at it for a long time. After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind and put the ticket back into his pocket...
