Doctor, I'm really sick

Although "Blind Battle" was only screened at the Berlin Film Festival and did not win any awards, it still gained another wave of attention.At the end of the year, this film not only won two domestic heavyweight best films, Qin Zhao also won the best supporting actor in a mainstream film festival for his outstanding performance.

With word-of-mouth and box office, the director of "Blind Fight" was very happy. On New Year's Day, a special dinner was held for everyone to celebrate. In addition to the main actors of the movie, the male protagonist Li Wei, the female director Xi, the male supporting actor Qin Zhao, etc. In addition, the Hong Kong director also specially called his good friend, Lu Chenggong, a well-known director of commercial films in China.

Three out of five of the top-grossing commercial films in recent years have been directed by Lu Chenggong, and two have been named producer.At the same time, Lu Chenggong is especially good at flattering people.Li Wei's first best actor was won because of Lu Chenggong's movie, and Ren Xi's leap from an unknown little star to the most popular flower now, according to legend, also had the help of Lu Chenggong.

So this meal is not as simple as just getting together for dinner.Lu Chenggong's new movie is in the casting stage. The director of "Blind Battle" is a fine person, he wants to be a matchmaker and earn favors from both parties.

Of course, whether this thing can be done or not depends on the performance of the individual.

Since the age of 18, Qin Zhao has been held by Wang Pingping's ears to participate in countless dinners, and he has long been used to this kind of favor dinner.During the dinner, there were a lot of toasts and chips, and after a round of wine, Qin Zhao's cheeks were only slightly warm.

On the contrary, Lu Chenggong was poured down a few cups by his old friend, his fat face turned maroon, but his small black eyes glistened more and more. Xi freezes.

He tugged at his neckline, carried the Moutai bottle, and staggered towards Ren Xi.

"Ren Xi... hiccup... I remember last year, you were still crying and insisting on being in my scene... Now, ah, you are popular! Today, if you didn't ask me for something, wouldn't you still have it? Are you willing to come?"

The strong stench of alcohol, mixed with the smell of tobacco, is almost nauseating.Ren Xi bowed, and supported Lu Chenggong with a smile: "Director Lu, you are drunk."

"I'm not drunk..."

Lu Chenggong grabbed Ren Xi's hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Ren Xi's exquisite face, and said with a smile: "You ask me to help, I can agree or not. The key is your attitude."

After speaking, he raised his hand, and the half bottle of Moutai was poured into the half-drunk red wine glass in front of Ren Xi!

Mixing red wine and white wine is the easiest way to get drunk, let alone such a big glass.

Everyone present was taken aback and looked over one after another.Ren Xi withdrew his hand calmly, with an elegant and sweet smile still on his face: "Director Lu, aren't you embarrassing me?"

"It's just a glass of wine, so I'm embarrassing you...?"

Lu Chenggong patted Ren Xi's shoulder drunkenly, smiled ambiguously, and stuck out his tongue:

"...Aren't you willing to do anything to achieve your goal..."

This sentence was not loud, but it sounded particularly harsh in the already quiet box.Everyone knows where the entertainment industry is.Some people rely on their strength, some rely on their patrons, and some rely on their appearance.As for a beautiful female star like Ren Xi, the discussion was even more unbearable.

It's just that no matter how unbearable it is, everyone just discusses it in private, so it's embarrassing to suddenly bring it up to the public.

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the iconic sweet smile on Ren Xi's face also became stiff.However, Lu Chenggong didn't intend to give her a retreat at all.Seeing that Ren Xi was not moving, he directly stomped the wine glass heavily in front of Ren Xi, staring:

"Why, don't drink? With your attitude, do you still want to ask me?!"

Lu Chenggong put the wine glass down so heavily that a lot of wine spilled out and splashed on Ren Xi's chest.The white lace dress was instantly dyed red, like a water-red flower in full bloom.Lu Chenggong's eyes unknowingly glanced at the flower. Under the smell of alcohol, his expression was undisguised and obscene.

"That's right. Ren Xi, be sensible. Drinking Director Lu's wine will definitely benefit you~"

See character after drinking.The director who has always been quite amiable to Ren Xi, unexpectedly drunkenly booed along at this moment.

There was an obscene laughter on the wine table.

There is no way back.Ren Xi suppressed the nausea in his heart, picked up the full wine glass in front of him, forced a smile and said: "Director Lu misunderstood. How dare I not give you face? I will drink this glass of wine."

As he spoke, he was about to drink the wine in one gulp.But before the wine glass touched his lips, it was suddenly snatched away——

"Director Lu, Ren Xi is drunk today. Why don't I drink this glass of wine for her?" Qin Zhao held the red and white goblet and looked at Lu Chenggong with sharp eyebrows and eyes that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.Before Lu successfully opened his mouth, he raised his neck and downed the glass of wine without panting!

"Hey, you?!" Lu Chenggong's fat body shook.He wanted to get angry at first, but when he thought that Qin Zhao was backed by Wang Pingping's Yaoshi Media, which was not like Ren Xi, his confidence in questioning suddenly weakened.

"Hey, some people want to have a hero addiction outside the play."

Lu Chenggong suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and squinted at Qin Zhao with a smirk: "...Then, as the director, I have to help you... Come, open three more bottles of white!"

Three full bottles of Moutai were placed in front of Qin Zhao.Ren Xi's face changed completely, she gently tugged on Qin Zhao's clothes, and whispered, "Why don't you forget it, I..."

Qin Zhao smiled disdainfully: "It's okay. Help people to the end."

Helping people to the end, this is the "family motto" set by Chu Sinian.If Chu Sinian had been present, he would never have stood by and watched girls being made things difficult for them.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhao became more determined.He picked up the wine bottle and shook it towards Lu Chenggong: "Then I will not be polite."

The atmosphere of the whole dinner was lively again because of Qin Zhao's three bottles of Moutai.There were cheers, booing, and whistles, and it didn't end until close to the early morning.The strength of these three bottles of high-level liquor is not covered. Qin Zhao was in a mess for the first time, and when Lin Xiaochuan came to pick him up, Qin Zhao was already one meter away. , crying for a while and laughing for a while. .

Hearing Lin Xiaochuan calling him, Qin Zhao smelled of alcohol, turned his head in a dazed way, and looked at Lin Xiaochuan dully for a few seconds, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he threw himself into a bear hug: "Why did you just come back, I want to kill you La, woo woo woo woo!"

Lin Xiaochuan had never been expressed so bluntly by Qin Zhao. He couldn't help but burst into tears. He was about to say something, but when Qin Zhao suddenly reached out and pinched his face, he said "Hey":

"Daughter-in-law, is the food in Tibet so good? Why did you gain so much weight and become shorter?"

Lin Xiaochuan: "=_=..."

Lin Xiaochuan slapped Qin Zhao's hand away, "Go, go, go, get in the car!"

However, Qin Zhao was not easy to deal with.In order to drag Qin Zhao into the car, he paid a huge price—not only was Qin Zhao forcibly kissed on the head three times, but his clothes were also torn, and Qin Zhao was even forced to drink a few gulps of white wine (Qin Zhaofei said that It was a cup of wine with Chu Sinian in the bridal chamber).

Qin Zhao refused to be honest even though he was locked in the carriage.Lin Xiaochuan wanted to cry, but hurriedly dodged the kiss that Qin Zhao came to try to imprint on his forehead, and then hurriedly pressed his dishonest hand: "Brother Daliang! I'm Xiaochuan! Doctor Chu has been gone for three months. Sober up!"

Being grabbed by the shoulders and shaking for a few times, Qin Zhao staggered his neck, dazedly, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Why are you yelling at me again?"

Lin Xiaochuan: "...?"

Qin Zhao's expression became even more aggrieved: "I have been listening to you very much recently. I haven't eaten crayfish for three months, and I haven't drunk ice water for two months and [-] days. I also keep exercising every day. I I have trained the two most difficult abdominal muscles in the end, look at it~"

As he spoke, he opened the hem of his clothes, and forced Lin Xiaochuan's hand to let him touch his well-defined eight-pack abs.Lin Xiaochuan quickly held his hand with black lines all over his head.But he didn't expect to be caught by Qin Zhao backhand:

"I know you don't care about the outside, you pursue the beauty of the soul. So I have done a lot of good things recently... I, I have donated a lot of money to the poor mountainous areas of Tibet... Also, there is also Sister Wang who once watched the news and said that foreign countries There was a plague in a place called Shuheya, where many doctors were sacrificed, and I was asked to donate. When I heard that it was a doctor, I donated a lot, a lot, a lot..."

Qin Zhao made a big circle with both hands, and then his shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he lowered his head, looking extremely lonely and wronged:

"...I just want you to praise me...but you always ignore me...ignore me..."

Lin Xiaochuan had a plan, bent down to look at him, and imitated Chu Sinian's tone: "Who said I ignored you. I'm busy. I know, you are very nice, awesome!"

Qin Zhao raised his head in a dizzy state, looked at Lin Xiaochuan's big thumb, was stunned for a while, and suddenly let out a dry howl.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' of you~~!"

Lin Xiaochuan: ... ==

Fortunately, Qin Zhao's dry howling seemed to vent all his suppressed emotions.After howling, he fell into the car and fell asleep.

Lin Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, took out the empty wine bottle that Qin Zhao had been holding and put it aside, and straightened Qin Zhao's head so that he could sleep more comfortably.

After finishing all this work, Lin Xiaochuan straightened up, only then did he feel a little dizzy, light-headed, and even a little nauseous.

Lin Xiaochuan watched Qin Zhao forcefully pour him several gulps of the wine bottle, and shook his head helplessly.It's all because of his poor drinking capacity, usually half a bottle of beer can make you blush and neck thick, let alone this high-strength baijiu.If Qin Zhao hadn't managed to hold his breath in order to push Qin Zhao into the car, he would have fainted long ago.

Because he was forced to drink, it was impossible to drive Qin Zhao back by himself.Lin Xiaochuan asked for the driver's phone in the lobby of the hotel, and was going to find someone to drive back.

Before the phone was dialed, someone called him from behind.

"Xiaochuan? It's so late, why haven't you sent brother Qin Zhao back?"

Looking back, it turned out to be Ren Xi.She has changed into a simple black dress and is looking over with concern.

"Hey, don't mention it. Brother Da Liang was drunk and drank me a lot. I can't drive anymore. I'm planning to find a substitute driver."

Ren Xi said "oh", glanced at Qin Zhao's nanny car, and said with a smile, "Who are you looking for as a substitute driver? Why don't you ask my assistant Xiao Liu to see him off. It's just on the way."

It was past one o'clock in the morning, and it would be better if someone was willing to help drive, but Lin Xiaochuan still hesitated slightly: "Ah... this..."

Ren Xi obviously understood his thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Why, are you still afraid that I will take advantage of your Brother Da Liang?"

Lin Xiaochuan shook his head quickly: "I'm just worried...you know, people who are drunk must be watched by someone..."

Ren Xi patted Lin Xiaochuan's shoulder understandingly, smiling like a delicate crabapple under a red candle:

"Don't worry, Xiao Liu will send me home first, and then send brother Qin Zhao to take care of him overnight. Since you are also drunk, go back and rest quickly. I don't worry about drunks taking care of drunks."

Lin Xiaochuan looked at Qin Zhao who was unconscious in the car, and his heart was shaken.Before, Lin Xiaochuan knew Ren Xi very well, and always thought she was a gentle, kind and helpful beautiful sister.Although he is very kind to Qin Zhao, except for work contacts, he has never acted beyond his friends in private.Occasionally, she was rumored to be scandalous, and she came out to clarify it immediately.

Now that people take the initiative to help, if I think too much and forcefully refuse, wouldn't it be embarrassing to Ren Xi?If the relationship between her and Qin Zhao is affected, it is even more unbearable for his little assistant.

Besides, it was the driver Xiao Liu who stayed overnight, so what was he worried about?What Ren Xi said was right, he was also drunk, and he probably wouldn't be able to take care of himself well when he got drunk.

Thinking of this, it would be inappropriate not to agree.Lin Xiaochuan smiled embarrassedly: "Then... I will trouble Sister Ren Xi!"

******

The black car was speeding through the dark night.

Qin Zhao reclined on the seat in the back row of the car, and fell into a deep sleep.But he didn't sleep very soundly, his unruly and handsome brows were slightly frowned, and he couldn't stop murmuring in his dream.

Ren Xi turned sideways slightly, only to hear what he said was "Si Nian" all along.

Si Nian.

Chu Sinian.

Ren Xi's brows furrowed as if being stabbed hard by a needle.

The night was too late, the streets were deserted, and it was extremely empty. Even the radiant lights among the high-rise buildings seemed even more lonely, forming blurred and gorgeous rainbows outside the car windows, passing by in a flash.

Turn left at the next intersection, not far from Qin Zhao's house.

Ren Xi's fingers gently stroked Qin Zhao's sleeping face. There seemed to be shimmering waves in the beautiful eyes, but they were deep and bottomless.

This was the first time she really touched Qin Zhao's face, and her fingertips trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if touching her long-awaited, most precious, brightest, and most secret dream.

Ren Xi laughed at himself.She suddenly discovered that she was a little bit like Chu Sinian

——Even if she grows in the mud, even her bones are dirty, she will always yearn for light.

Three years ago, when she was the ugly duckling in a foreign country, scarred and bullied because of her ugliness, she longed for this light.

For that light, she would risk everything.

Ren Xi suddenly withdrew his hand, and his delicate nails were deeply embedded in his palm.

"At the next intersection, don't turn left."

Ren Xi stared fixedly out of the car window, and suddenly spoke.

This is a fork in the road, the street lights are dim.Further on, it was pitch black.

The assistant Xiao Liu who was driving raised his eyebrows in surprise.The rearview mirror in the car reflected Ren Xi's face.Even in the dim light, she still maintained that sweet and harmless smile, but in her eyes, there was a madness and determination that had never been shown before.

"Go straight. Back to my house."
