Chapter 23

"Then when you told Director Huang, did he say anything?" Liu Lian asked while sitting on a small stool with her back to Lu Ziqi.

While washing Liu Lian's hair with bubbles in his hands, Lu Ziqi said lightly, "Anyway, my scenes are filmed at the front, and they are filmed at the back. It's not bad, and Director Huang's temper is not as bad as the legend says. Tell me to take good care of you."

"Oh..." Liu Lian lowered her head and said with her eyes closed, "I'm worried that those people in the production team will say that you are playing big names. Those who don’t know are the staff members of the film crew, if they know something, they can’t wait to gossip about it.”

"They said what they said, I entered the entertainment industry because I like acting, but that doesn't mean I will be afraid of this and that like some artists. If I really can't make it in the entertainment industry, I can go back to work in the military camp. " Lu Ziqi said nonchalantly.

Liu Lian said with a smile: "It's good to have a way out, so that you can be fearless. It's not like I can only stick to this way to the end."

"Everyone has their own destiny. Although these are given to me by my relatives, I am still very fortunate to have such a family. At least I don't have to worry about what to eat and drink every day, and I don't have to hesitate for a long time for a pair of shoes that cost hundreds of dollars... However, my family background has indeed caused me a lot of trouble, even if I win some honors with my strength, some reporters who spread rumors will say that my family relationship bribed the awarding party."

"The one who cleans up is clear by himself. Everyone will not believe the truth of the reporter's words." Liu Lian comforted.

In the next second, Lu Ziqi suddenly laughed, and the clear voice hit Liu Lian's ear as if it touched her heart: "It feels good to be with you, you are caring and honest, you can't play tricks. What carelessness."

Liu Lian: "...Oh, I think so too."

It was rare for Lu Ziqi to smile so softly and said: "You are kind, you don't even need to be humble."

Liu Lian listened to Lu Ziqi's words in a daze, buried her head and didn't make a sound. Lu Ziqi's hands were very soft, and her slender fingertips ran through Liu Lian's black hair mixed with white bubbles. sink in.I don't know when it started, Liu Lian's feelings for Lu Ziqi were mixed with some strange emotions. At first it was fear, then respect, then obedience, and finally turned into hoping that the other party would pay more attention to her, even if it was just a little bit. .

Liu Lian was terrified by this unknowingly small thought, and at the same time, she also had some small expectations. If she really told Lu Ziqi what she wanted, would Lu Ziqi accept her?

Thinking of this, Liu Lian suddenly felt a little lost. A woman like Lu Ziqi with a good family background, good looks, and high social status must only like beautiful women of the same position. Apart from being good-looking, she is useless. How could Lu Ziqi like her after years of being in the entertainment industry without finding a famous woman?

Thinking about it, Liu Lian felt more and more uncomfortable. In the end, those negative emotions overwhelmed her like a flood.

Lu Ziqi rinsed Liu Lian's hair, then wrapped all her hair on top of Liu Lian's head with a dry towel, and said, "By the way, take a bath, too?"

Liu Lian was flattered, and turned her head to look at Lu Ziqi with wide eyes: "What... what?"

Lu Ziqi repeated again: "I said, I'll take the bath for you." At the end Lu Ziqi paused, as if feeling that his words were too sudden, he explained, "I just came in to watch you fill the bathtub. You should take a bath after getting in the water, look how inconvenient your feet are, and the doctor told you not to get in the water, anyway, I’m fine if I’m idle, so it’s okay to help you take a bath.”

Liu Lian stared blankly at Lu Ziqi and said nothing.

Lu Ziqi was puzzled, touched his face and said, "Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No..." Liu Lian bit her lip and said, "Why do I feel like you suddenly talk a lot more tonight..." The former Lu Ziqi was not such a patient and caring person, and Liu Lian often said a few words to each other. When she didn't want to, she started to spit fire and lose her temper everywhere.

Ever since Lu Ziqi came back from going out this morning, something seemed different.

"Hahaha, isn't it?" Lu Ziqi said with a smile, "Maybe it's because my mood suddenly improved."

In the end, Liu Lian still didn't ask Lu Ziqi to help her take a bath. She took the water from a basin and then stood beside the basin and wiped her whole body with a towel.

After nine o'clock, Lu Ziqi took a shower and came out of the bathroom while wiping her hair. Before she reached the bedside, her mobile phone on the bed started ringing non-stop. Liu Lian on the opposite bed was lying on the bed, holding the remote control Boring to change the TV station, when the phone rang, she subconsciously glanced at the opposite side, and vaguely saw the three words "Old Man Lu" flashing on the phone screen.

Old man Lu?It should be Lu Ziqi's grandfather, Liu Lian guessed, it seems that after knowing Lu Ziqi for so long, Lu Ziqi rarely mentioned her parents and grandparents in front of Liu Lian, but Liu Lian often talked to Lu Ziqi about Liu's father and mother .

Lu Ziqi casually threw the towel on the chair, brushed his long wet hair and flung himself onto the bed to answer the phone. He was talking calmly at first, but within 5 minutes he suddenly quarreled with Commander Lu on the other side of the phone.It didn't take long for Lu Ziqi to sit up from the bed abruptly, her dripping hair stuck to the side of her face, she bit her lip, her face was terribly pale, she put on her slippers and walked to the balcony after a few steps.

"How many times have I told you why you just can't understand, why should I do what you say, I am a human being, not a dog you raised!" Lu Ziqi's angry voice echoed in the empty room, and she panted heavily As he spoke, the veins were exposed in the hand clasping the clothes on his chest tightly.

"..."

Commander Lu didn't know what to say, Lu Ziqi's emotions became more and more agitated, and her voice became more and more sharp, almost screaming hysterically.

Liu Lian walked quietly behind Lu Ziqi two meters away, and stared dumbfoundedly at Lu Ziqi, who seemed to be crazy. She swore that she had never seen such a terrifying side of Lu Ziqi. Jump off the balcony at any time.

"Get out - I don't want to listen to you, who are you? You killed my parents, you killed them." Lu Ziqi was trembling all over, and she yelled into the phone in a broken voice, "I won't Don't want to see you, fuck—"

As Lu Ziqi's voice fell, the phone in her hand drew a parabola and disappeared into the night sky outside the balcony.

Lu Ziqi held on to the railing and couldn't calm down from her excitement for a long time. She stood there for a long time before slowly squatting down. Finally, she squatted on the edge of the balcony and buried her head in her knees. Her thin shoulders were trembling. A muffled sob echoed in the quiet night.

Liu Lian didn't stand in place, nor did she walk. She had to wait until Lu Ziqi calmed down a little before carefully stepping forward and patting her on the shoulder: "That...are you alright?"

Lu Ziqi took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Liu Lian with red eyes, and said coldly, "I'm fine." After speaking, Lu Ziqi got up and walked to the bed, went to bed without drying his hair, and covered himself tightly with a blanket Really sleep.

Liu Lian followed behind Lu Ziqi and didn't know what to say, hesitated for a long time and could only sigh and turn off the light and go to bed.

Time passed very slowly tonight, Liu Lian curled up in the quilt and looked sideways at the figure on the opposite bed, while Lu Ziqi remained motionless in the quilt, Liu Lian didn't know if she was asleep or awake with.The night was very quiet, and occasionally the sound of car horns could be heard in the distance. Liu Lian moved her numb hands and feet and turned her back to Lu Ziqi. She closed her eyes and started counting sheep.

At this quiet moment, Lu Ziqi's voice suddenly sounded, with a trace of self-mockery: "Hehe... Fortunately, I still pretended to think that I was free, and I still couldn't escape that big prison after a long time."

Liu Lian froze, pulled the corner of the quilt and moved her mouth. After a long time, she still couldn't say a word. She wasn't sure if Lu Ziqi was talking to her, or... Lu Ziqi was talking in his sleep?

"Tell me about you." Lu Ziqi said again.

Now Liu Lian was sure that Lu Ziqi was talking to her, and stammered, "Ah? I... what's the matter with me?"

"What happened before you, when you were young, when you grew up, before you met me." Lu Ziqi tore off the quilt and sat up and said to Liu Lian, her big bright eyes came in through the French windows The moonlight is extremely bright, like a cat, "It's all fine, just talk about it casually."

Liu Lian also sat up, hugging her knees and leaning against the head of the bed. After organizing her words for a long time, she still didn't know what to say: "I have nothing to say about my life. My parents are ordinary teachers, and they gave birth to ordinary teachers. Me, I grew up in an ordinary way, worked in an ordinary way, and finally met you in an ordinary way, that’s all.” Liu Lian smiled wryly, and it was only when she said it that she realized that her life had been so ordinary.

Lu Ziqi clicked his tongue a few times and said, "It seems that you are more inferior than I imagined."

"Really... Actually, I think so too. I've never been free from the word inferiority." Liu Lian scratched her hair in embarrassment, and giggled, "I have never been outstanding since I was a child, and my grades are mediocre. I can’t even communicate with people. Other students have a lot of male and female friends who go out to play. Sometimes I want to go shopping in the street, but I can’t find anyone to accompany me. Come back, the result is still like this, after so many years of hard work, there is no result." At the end Liu Lian sighed deeply.

"Then you can enjoy yourself now." Lu Ziqi said suddenly.

Liu Lian didn't react: "Huh?"

Lu Ziqi's voice was full of trepidation: "You can tell those people that you and Lu Ziqi are good friends." At the end, Lu Ziqi suddenly thought of something, "When we take a group photo tomorrow, I'll post it on Weibo."

Liu Lian: "..."

"What about you?" The two of them were silent for a long time, and Liu Lian mustered up the courage to ask cautiously and tentatively, "Tell me something about your family, I've never heard you mention it."

Lu Ziqi fell silent for a moment.

"Zi Qi?" A moment later, Liu Lian, who didn't get an answer, shouted in a panic. She thought she had touched Lu Zi Qi's scales, and when she was thinking about how to apologize, Lu Zi Qi suddenly spoke again.

"My parents passed away when I was very young, and I was brought up by my grandparents." Lu Ziqi said coldly, "It seems that I told you this...but I have a very close relationship with my grandparents. Bad, I hate them."

Liu Lian thought of the strong hatred between Lu Ziqi and Commander Lu on the phone not long ago, and she also said that Commander Lu killed her father.Liu Lian bit her lip, but couldn't ask the question in her heart, she was not someone close to Lu Ziqi at all, maybe even if she asked, Lu Ziqi wouldn't say it.

You are really asking for trouble, Liu Lian said to herself in her heart, it is obviously none of your business, why do you have to worry so much, just do what you are supposed to do.

"Are you startled by my phone call just now?" Lu Ziqi said with a hint of a smile.

"Ah?" Liu Lian said, "Yes, a little..."

"The relationship between me and him is already stiff. It's very common for us to quarrel when we say something wrong. Don't worry about it." Lu Ziqi said lightly, "However, thank you for your concern. I'm used to being alone, and I really can't even talk about it." A little care makes me feel extra warm..." Lu Ziqi seemed to be talking to herself in the last sentence, she said it in a very low voice, but it still passed into Liu Lian's ears without saying a single word.

Liu Lian's heart beat suddenly, and the words slipped out of her mouth without anyone noticing: "I am also a person, why don't we try it."
