Traceable

His chest was stuffy, his eyelids were trembling, and when he struggled to wake up, he found that his body buried in the quilt was covered in hot sweat, his hair was drenched with sweat, and his breath was full of hot air.

The complicated and changeable dreams made him feel confused and uncomfortable, but fortunately, the wall lamp in front of the bed was on, and this light gave him some comfort.

He actually dreamed of the past—the mother, the owner of the video store, and Gu Xun, the three people who have always hovered in his life, gathered together in one night.

Lin Yuyao sat up and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. He fell ill when he came back from filming in the video store that day. The weather coincided with the change of seasons, so he wore less clothes during filming. He also suffered from a cold and cough. Come.I drank the medicine at night and went to bed early, but I didn't expect to have such an uncontrollable dream.

He got out of bed and was about to take a bath, but he staggered as soon as his feet touched the ground, as if he was the one who was messing around with Gu Xun in his dream just now. Slow down.

In the afternoon, I went to the studio of "Shadow of the Mirror" to start work, and accidentally saw Xu Baomu who had disappeared for more than a week.The other party was playing games with earphones on the chair in the lounge. His stern-looking female assistant was sitting next to him, she looked up when she heard footsteps, and then took a picture of Xu Baomu.

Seeing Lin Yuyao coming, Xu Baomu immediately pulled off his earphones.

"Sit." He patted the cushion of the chair next to him.

"Finally back." Lin Yuyao sat next to him.

"Oh, don't mention it. Lao Jiang threatened me with not singing rock and roll, otherwise I would not come." Xu Baomu shook his head with a reluctant expression.

"If you come, you will be safe. Do you still have a show this afternoon?" Lin Yuyao asked.

"It's gone, Chen Xue...Director Chen asked me to stay and watch how other people act." Xu Baomu only noticed that his voice was wrong at this time, "Did you catch a cold?"

"Well, kind of."

Xu Baomu turned his head and asked his assistant, "Do you have any medicine there? Get him some."

"No, no, no," Lin Yuyao hurriedly stopped his enthusiasm and told the assistant not to work, "I've already taken the medicine."

"What's the point of filming even if you're sick, why don't you take the opportunity to ask for leave and be lazy." Xu Baomu didn't understand.

Lin Yuyao bent her lips when she heard the words.

After chatting for a while, it was time to start work.Lin Yuyao's filming went smoothly, but he NGed a few times because he couldn't help coughing.

At the end of the game, he went to his assistant and saw Gu Xun standing beside him.

"Why are you here? Aren't you missing your role today?" Lin Yuyao walked over and asked.

"The investors are invited to dinner tonight, everyone is going." The drama manager next to him answered first.

"Oh, that's it." Lin Yuyao understood.

Gu Xun handed over the thermos and touched his neck: "Auntie Zhu made pear soup for you, does your throat still hurt?"

Lin Yuyao froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's much better."

Aunt Zhu was their housekeeper in the past, and she is still the same now, but it is a little harder, and she has to clean two houses and cook two meals.

"Oh my god, Gu Xun is too warm." The girls next to him kept observing the movement here, and when they saw Gu Xun's meticulous and considerate manner, they all sighed with envy.

Lin Yuyao held the thermos, pretending to be useful, and went to the lounge with Gu Xun.

The pear soup was not made by Aunt Zhu at all, Lin Yuyao noticed it the first time she took a sip, probably Gu Xun asked his assistant to buy it from which store.The taste was mediocre, sweet, with no fragrance at all, but he had to do all the tricks, so he drank all of it with a stiff neck.

As soon as the sun went down, the crew finished their work and went to the hotel in a mighty way.

The investor was Huansheng Entertainment, and Jiang Zhiliang, the leader, was the one who treated the guests to dinner.Jiang Zhiliang was over forty years old, but he looked like he was in his early thirties. He had an outstanding temperament, and he carried the unique posture of a superior.

Chen Xuemin and him seemed to be old acquaintances. After greeting everyone to eat and drink, the two chatted with smiles on their faces.

Lin Yuyao was sitting next to Gu Xun. He lost his appetite due to a cold, and the delicious food on the table also lost his appetite.

There was a lot of noise at the dinner table, and there were constant voices persuading people to drink.As the leading actor, he was called by Jiang Zhiliang's name not long after, and Gu Xun picked up the wine to clink glasses with him.

Jiang Zhiliang: "This movie has Best Actor Gu, so it will definitely be a hit."

"It's all for Mr. Jiang to make money."

Gu Xun has met him several times on various occasions, and they are familiar, and now they are not unfamiliar with each other.

After drinking with Gu Xun, it was Lin Yuyao.

"First time." Jiang Zhiliang smiled gently.

Lin Yuyao looked at the smile lines in the corners of his eyes under the light, and replied, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."

He raised his head and was about to drink down the wine, but suddenly his wrist was restrained.

"Mr. Jiang, Yu Yao is not feeling well today. I'll drink for him, okay?" Gu Xun said.

Jiang Zhiliang showed his face and said, "Okay. I heard that you two have a good relationship before, and today I met you, it really is so."

Gu Xun took Lin Yuyao's cup and drank it down.At this moment, the topic at the dinner table all slipped to the two of them, talking about their usual flirting in the film crew and some gossip news in the past.

Lin Yuyao leaned back in the chair, feeling that the pear soup that he drank earlier seemed to be still in his stomach, and his emotions were full along with it.

He can't drink well, has stomach problems, and is not the same as usual when he is drunk.When we were together before, Gu Xun was also like this, and he was the one to stop the drinking when he couldn't avoid it.

The same is true now, but in fact everything has changed.

"What are you thinking about? This shrimp is delicious, how about two?" Xu Baomu's voice suddenly pierced into Lin Yuyao's brain.

"Huh? Yes." Lin Yuyao came back to his senses.

Xu Baomu picked up two for him with his serving chopsticks.Gu Xun was drinking with someone, he glanced at the movement here, and glanced twice.

Lin Yuyao started peeling the prawns to save face, and only halfway through the peeling, Chen Xuemin said, "Xu Baomu, come have a drink with Mr. Jiang."

This is strange.Chen Xuemin's status is extraordinary. Although the entertainment circle is incomparable with Jiang Zhiliang's circle, Director Chen is definitely not a follower.At this time, he took the initiative to ask Xu Baomu to toast Jiang Zhiliang, revealing traces of weirdness.

Lin Yuyao had a bad cold, and his reaction was half a beat slow, and he didn't feel anything wrong.It was only because Xu Baomu's family was powerful and he had some kind of friendship with Jiang Zhiliang that Chen Xuemin opened his mouth.

However, Xu Baomu, one of the parties involved, was reluctant, and when he got close, Lin Yuyao heard him snort softly.Then lazily picked up the wine glass and pointed it in Jiang Zhiliang's direction: "Toast to you."

He said it was respectful, but his attitude was more uncle than the other party.Jiang Zhiliang didn't know if he had a good temper or something, but he didn't mind.

"I heard that you are into music, why don't you sing a song to cheer everyone up?" Jiang Zhiliang said.

This is probably the case for the superiors, who used question sentences, but they became orders that could not be refused when they heard them.

It's just that Xu Baomu didn't like him, he groaned and said, "I'm a rock singer, I'm afraid Mr. Jiang is getting old and your heart can't bear it."

This is so bold!The people at the table watched each other carefully, kept silent, and did not dare to vent their anger, for fear that they would be innocently thrown into the center of the storm. After all, they did not have Xu Baomu's background and dared to confront the boss of Huansheng Entertainment head-on.

Jiang Zhiliang put his hands on his chest as usual, and said with a leisurely smile: "I really can't appreciate rock and roll, but music is all connected. Let me ask you for advice. There is a child in my family who has been fighting with me recently. What do you say?" What song do you want to sing to cheer you up?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone on the table fidgeted, wondering what it meant.

Xu Baomu answered nonsense: "A nursery rhyme, two tigers or something."

"Really? I don't know how to do this one."

Xu Baomu picked up the chopsticks, knocked on the bowls and plates, and played out the mediocre tune of the nursery rhyme. At the same time, he hummed: "Two tigers, two tigers..."

Jiang Zhiliang watched his funny performance with a smile in his eyes.

The atmosphere at the table was so weird and embarrassing to the extreme, but no one could jump out to break the status quo.

Everyone was beating drums in their hearts, and at this moment, a series of coughs that could not be concealed came out of nowhere.For a moment, all eyes were on Lin Yuyao. He covered his mouth, but his cough leaked out.

The cough couldn't stop, Lin Yuyao brought oral cough medicine, but acted hastily, and took a long time in his pocket before taking it out.

Xu Baomu stopped tapping the chopsticks on the eaves of the bowl, and turned his head to look at him.

"Why are you coughing so badly?" Jiang Zhiliang asked.

Lin Yuyao's cheeks were flushed, she didn't know if it was from coughing or embarrassment.He waved his hand to signal no need, and after he stopped coughing, he said, "It's okay, it's just that my throat feels a little uncomfortable."

There were not a few people smoking at the wine table, and they all stifled their cigarettes silently at this moment.

Jiang Zhiliang joked: "Your director Chen is too strict, and you need someone to come to work when you are sick."

Chen Xuemin understood, and said to Lin Yuyao: "You go back if you feel unwell, your body is important."

Lin Yuyao was really uncomfortable from being smoked, his mind was dizzy and his body was weak, he just wanted to curl up under the quilt and sleep.

He got the order and was about to leave, but Gu Xun stood up and said, "Let's go back with Yu Yao, it's not convenient for him to be alone..."

Everyone had a clear look, with a look of "we understand".

Gu Xun took the coat and handed it to Lin Yuyao, the two said hello to everyone, and walked out of the box to the parking lot.

The corridor was long and empty, and Lin Yuyao coughed non-stop, hitting the eardrums loudly.Gu Xun frowned and curled his fingers at his side.

This is like a stress response. I have done it so many times in the past that when I hear the other person coughing, I will subconsciously pat him on the back or other intimate actions.

But now it is no longer suitable to do this action.

When we arrived at the parking lot, we each got into the car, like two strangers.During the process from the private room to the boarding of the car, there was no word or eye contact. In the end, they didn't even say goodbye. The so-called "going back together" is just a ridiculous lie.

When leaving the parking lot, Wu Simin looked out the window and found that Gu Xun's car was not in the same direction as them, and turned to the opposite road at the intersection.

She immediately took out her mobile phone and typed to ask Jiang Yunzhou, Gu Xun's assistant.

"Where are you going now?"

Jiang Yunzhou quickly replied with a string of English. It was a well-known bar in the industry.It turned out to be to have fun.

Wu Simin glanced at Lin Yuyao who was leaning on the back of the chair beside him.The other party noticed his gaze, opened half-closed eyes, and asked with a strong nasal voice: "What's wrong?"

Wu Simin quickly looked away: "I took the medicine just thinking about it, why does it feel like Brother Lin, your cold and cough are getting worse."

"How can it get better so quickly." Lin Yuyao smiled, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and looked tired.

A cold is a slow recovery process, and medicine cannot be effective immediately.Just like the love that must be parted, even if it is cut quickly, it will take time until it stops bleeding and no longer hurts, and it will fully heal.

Seeing Jiang Yunzhou fiddle with his phone, Gu Xun glanced twice.

"Sending a message to Xiao Wu?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Yunzhou quickly pressed the lock screen, worried that Gu Xun would get angry, so he revealed his whereabouts to Wu Simin.

Gu Xun didn't care, and after a moment of nervous silence, he said, "Tell her, if you still don't feel well tomorrow, don't go to the set."

"Ah? Okay." Jiang Yunzhou almost didn't realize what it meant.

Over there, Wu Simin felt the phone vibrate in her hand, and when she opened it, she saw that it was from Jiang Yunzhou.

"Brother Gu said, if Brother Lin is still not feeling well tomorrow, don't go to the set."

Wu Simin snorted, wondering what was the point of such hypocrisy.

It was raining outside, and the car windows were cracked.The car was very quiet, Lin Yuyao seemed to be asleep, and the sound of breathing was inaudible.

Wu Simin looked at him, and suddenly remembered that there was a time before, when Lin Yuyao fell ill because he was filming a water scene in the winter. At that time, Gu Xun was a little angry, and said that it would be better to let the double go into the water.

However, he put his anger back, and he still put off his work for the day and stayed with Lin Yuyao at home.In the evening, I had to catch a plane to go abroad to participate in an event. While I was asleep, I called Wu Simin over, asked her to look at Lin Yuyao, and said that she was not allowed to go to filming if she was not well.

As a result, Wu Simin didn't keep an eye on his own artist the next day. Lin Yuyao was usually easy to talk to, but when it came to work, he was extremely stubborn and difficult to deal with.

Afterwards, Gu Xun found out that Wu Simin was scolded bloody for being unfavorable.

However, the care and sincerity in the past turned into a slap on the face, and now there is nothing but embarrassment.

There was a burst of rain outside the car window, Wu Simin looked at Lin Yuyao's bright face in the shadow of the street lights, and was full of thoughts.During this period of time, Lin Yuyao was obviously silent a lot, as if covered by a layer of loneliness, standing alone.

The windows were not closed tightly, the early summer rain was wet and cold, Lin Yuyao was drowsy, and coughed again when the wind blew.

Wu Simin closed the window, Lin Yuyao stopped coughing, and the car was silent.
