From the moment President Pei opened the door, Zhou Yan felt that his existence seemed to be superfluous. President Pei and Cheng Xia looked at each other, and she was caught between pins and needles. Zhou Yan simply found an excuse to take the initiative to slip away: "President Pei, Cheng Xia, talk first, and I'll buy you some breakfast."
Zhou Yan passed by Mr. Pei, and then Pei Shaoze looked at her and whispered, "I watched Cheng Xia all night last night, it was hard work. The matter has been settled, you can go back to rest after you buy breakfast, and someone else will take care of Cheng Xia. ."
Zhou Yan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I'll ask Sister Rong to come and take care of her."
After she left, Pei Shaoze walked directly to Cheng Xia's hospital bed. Seeing that Cheng Xia's face had improved a lot, he was not as pale as when he first saw him yesterday. He finally felt relieved and sat beside Cheng Xia's bed.
Cheng Xia said softly, "Mr. Pei, didn't you sleep last night?"
Alpha's spirit didn't look very good. After staying up all night, there was sporadic stubble on his chin. When he spoke just now, his voice was thick and hoarse. His throat seemed to have been ground with sandpaper. Obviously, his throat was very dry. He worked so hard to find out that he changed his flight ticket to Rongcheng at night to find out, and he stayed up all night to submit evidence to the police station.
The tired Alpha made Cheng Xia feel a little distressed, and hurriedly picked up the water cup on the bedside table, handed it to Pei Shaoze, and said seriously: "Drink a glass of water first, this is the new cup that Sister Yan just poured for me. , I haven't drunk it."
Pei Shaoze couldn't help curling his mouth: "You are a patient, I came to see you, why did you give me water to drink instead?"
Cheng Xia's ears turned red, and stubbornly put the water glass into Pei Shaoze's hand: "Your voice is hoarse, first drink some water to moisten your throat."
Pei Shaoze did not refuse. He had been busy all night, and his throat was indeed dry. The temperature of the water that Cheng Xia handed him was just right, so he took it and took several sips in a row. I was busy all night in the cold wind last night, and my body was frozen to the point of unconsciousness. Now, with warm water entering my throat, my limbs and bones gradually warmed up, and my heart seemed to be warmed up.
He drank the glass of water, then put the glass back on the bedside table, looked at Cheng Xia, and asked gently like a parent, "How is the wound, do you feel better?"
Cheng Xia smiled brightly: "It's much better, and the wound doesn't hurt anymore. Doctor Qin came to see him this morning, and he said that after two days of rest, I can be discharged after the stitches are removed."
Pei Shaoze was completely relieved: "That's good."
He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Who is the one who hurt you, Zhou Yan has already told you?"
Last night, the whole crew was rioting. In the end, Pei Shaoze asked the ambassador behind the gangster, and everyone saw it when he sent the gangster to the police. Director Liu must have informed Zhou Yan, and Cheng Xia also will know as soon as possible.
But Pei Shaoze only told the police about Zhao Wenxiu's motive for committing the crime. The crew only knew that the gangster was instructed by Cheng Xia's former manager, Zhao Wenxiu, and everyone was still confused as to why. Everyone speculated that it was likely that Zhao Wenxiu and Cheng Xia did not get along well. President Pei drove Zhao Wenxiu out of Tianxuan. Zhao Wenxiu held a grudge, so he took revenge on Cheng Xia.
As for the fact that Cheng Xia once climbed onto the boss's bed, it has not been made public yet.
Hearing the other party's question, Cheng Xia nodded, took out his mobile phone to find Zhao Wenxiu who had been blocked, showed Pei Shaoze the previous chat record, and guessed: "Maybe I scolded him at the time and blocked him, Zhao Wenxiu wants to take revenge on me."
Pei Shaoze's eyes sank: "I don't blame you for this, I didn't handle it well. When I drove Zhao Wenxiu out of Tianxuan at that time, I should have thought that a person like him with inferior methods and bad intentions, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely I will smack you from behind. This time I neglected to take precautions and almost let him succeed... Were you frightened last night?"
Cheng Xia hurriedly shook his head: "It doesn't matter, isn't it okay for me?"
Facing the young man's relaxed smile, Pei Shaoze couldn't help reaching out and patted Cheng Xia's head lightly, and said, "You are a lucky person, but fortunately there was a false alarm last night, don't worry, I will strictly monitor the crew in the future. , it won't happen again."
Cheng Xia's cheeks were hot from the touch. He found that he seemed to like Mr. Pei's gentle touch more and more. Alpha's slender fingers gently slid across the hair, and the gentle touch made Cheng Xia enjoy it as if his hair was smoothed.
This is completely different from the feeling of being touched by his father when he was a child. His father made Cheng Xia trust and depend on him, but President Pei made his heart beat like a drum, his breathing was short, and he even wanted to get closer to each other and monopolize each other...
[Cheng Xia's favorability to you +1]
[Cheng Xia's favorability to you +1]
When I visited last night, the favorability level rose to 80 in one breath, but today it has risen by 5 points to 85.
Realizing that the boy was very obedient sitting on the bed, Pei Shaoze softened slightly, withdrew his hand, and continued, "That's right, because I submitted a series of evidence of Zhao Wenxiu's crime to the police, including the fact that he drugged you in the juice and joined forces with the police. The surveillance video of the driver taking you to the car, this afternoon, the police may come to the hospital to ask you for questioning, and then you will cooperate."
Cheng Xia was stunned: "Does President Pei want to be held accountable for what happened last time?"
Pei Shaoze looked resolute: "Of course, we must be held accountable to the end. I consulted a lawyer last night. Since you suffered minor injuries with a knife this time, Zhao Wenxiu's sentence will not be too severe. If he illegally purchased a pheromone release agent before , secretly drugging you, forcing you to be flagged by a strange alpha, and all that, and the lawyer can keep him in jail for a few more years."
Different from the gentleness just now, when Zhao Wenxiu was mentioned, Pei Shaoze's eyes became obviously cold and sharp: "This kind of rat in the gutter will have endless troubles, and maybe one day it will come out and bite you."
Cheng Xia agreed: "President Pei is right. He should take responsibility for his own wrongdoing. Only by squatting in prison can you be honest. You can rest assured that I will cooperate with the police investigation. If the court requires me to testify at that time. , I can also come forward."
When Pei Shaoze heard this, his eyes softened: "Considering your reputation, this case will not be heard publicly."
After all, if an Omega climbs onto Alpha's bed, even if Alpha doesn't mark him, it will attract suspicion and suspicion. Besides, Cheng Xia, the online drama invested by Pei Shaoze, is the star. Or was Mr. Pei gave him unspoken rules, so Mr. Pei gave him money to cast online dramas
Pei Shaoze didn't want Cheng Xia's efforts to be "unspoken", and he didn't want netizens to look at him with tinted glasses. Cases involving Omega being flagged in the ABO world can be tried in private to minimize impact.
Cheng Xia felt President Pei's thoughtfulness and felt warm in his heart.
It feels so good to be cared and cared for by an adult Alpha. He used to think that most of the Alphas were disgusting. There were countless people who bullied Omegas and even looked down on Omegas by virtue of their height and physical strength. It is Alpha who respects Omegas' ideas like President Pei. A clear stream of the session is a rare animal!
You must never give President Pei to others.
Cheng Xia pondered in his heart that Boss Pei is about to confess now, maybe because Boss Pei's character is relatively introverted, and Boss Pei is too embarrassed to say things like "I like you" that are too straightforward
It doesn't matter, find a suitable time and tell him the same. At that time, if Mr. Pei is embarrassed to mark him, then he will take the initiative to mark Mr. Pei
Cheng Xia's heart was pounding, and he had already thought of marking the step...
Pei Shaoze regarded Cheng Xia as a child seriously, and found that Cheng Xia's face had regained its former vitality, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were bright, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
He smiled slightly and patiently said, "I told Director Liu about the crew, that the venue of Seventeen Middle School will be borrowed on February 27th, there are still five days left, and the other people's scenes will be finished first three days before. You recover from your injury, and focus on making up for your scenes in the last two days."
Cheng Xia recalled the script carefully and said, "The rest seems to be my rivalry with Shen Kai? My personal scenes and my rivalry with Ye Mingqian have already been filmed before."
Fortunately, Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian cooperated tacitly, and Director Liu finished the filming of their rivalry in winter ahead of schedule, leaving only the scenes of Cheng Xia and Shen Kai. But the rest of the scenes involved Qin Nian's emotional change towards Lu Fengyang, which was more difficult to grasp.
Cheng Xia was a little worried: "Is two days enough time? I remember that Qin Nian has fallen in love with Lu Fengyang for the rest of the play. I'm afraid that if I don't cooperate well with Shen Kai at that time, the lack of emotions will delay the progress of the crew. "
The crew only borrowed the venue for about ten days, and the time was tight. As a result, this kind of thing happened to the lead actor Cheng Xia, which made it worse. In case Cheng Xia and Shen Kai can't work together, can't act the feeling of secretly admiring each other's "secret love", and the most critical part is not filmed well, it will be a waste of time, and the whole drama will be regretted.
Pei Shaoze thought for a moment and suggested: "When a newcomer actor can't get into the play, you can use the method of association, for example, in a crying scene, you can think of the special grievances you have encountered in reality, and you will cry when you think about it. To act as a couple, you can imagine the other person as someone you like, with emotions and actions, and you can naturally act well."
When he said this, he asked again: "By the way, have you ever liked anyone?"
The original book did not mention whether Cheng Xia had a crush in high school, only that Cheng Xia loved Pei Shaoze very deeply in the later period, and he hated him deeply. Now that Cheng Xia is in front of him, Pei Shaoze also wants to know the emotional history of the young seedling he raised.
Cheng Xia heard the question, her ears turned red instantly, lowered her head and said, "Yes, yes."
Pei Shaoze was like an old father when he heard his child say that he liked someone, and his mood was quite complicated. On the other hand, I felt that the cabbage that I had raised with great difficulty could not be humiliated by pigs.
He raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Who is it, can you tell me?"
Cheng Xia: "..."
President Pei must have done it on purpose, to make fun of him!
Cheng Xia blushed: "Pei, President Pei..."
Pei Shaoze coughed lightly: "Okay, this is your personal business, I won't ask. Since there is someone you like, when you play opposite, you can try to associate Shen Kai as someone you like. I believe that with your ability , it's not difficult to show Qin Nian's crush on Lu Fengyang."
Cheng Xia nodded: "Well."
It means that when acting, it is right to imagine the "secret lover" as President Pei.
