After he woke up, Mo Chenghong immediately called a doctor to do a full body check-up.
It was confirmed that apart from being a little weak from lying down for a long time, there were no other problems with the body, and even the fractured ribs were almost healed.
Mo Chenghong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We'll stay in the hospital for two more days and then we'll return home."
After that, he looked at Yu Ruwei who was standing beside him and said, "Ms. Yu, Si Yi has woken up. We still have some work arrangements to discuss later. Do you think we can..."
Yu Ruwei smiled and said, "Si Yi just woke up, let him take it easy first, there is no rush for work."
Mo Chenghong: ... I'm just looking for an excuse to let you leave for a while. I'm his agent, don't I care about him as much as you do
Before Mo Chenghong could say anything else, she continued, "Si Yi, I haven't thanked you in person yet. It was thanks to you that you protected me that day that the car accident happened that I didn't get hurt."
Her eyes were red. "I feel really bad for watching you unconscious in the ward every day. If you need me for anything in the future, just let me know."
Xu Qiao glanced at her, with no particular expression on his face, which made Yu Ruwei feel as powerless as if her fist was hitting cotton.
Mo Chenghong curled the corner of his mouth. Although she didn't say much in these two paragraphs, she revealed a lot of information.
The first was to remind Xu Qiao that Xu Siyi was injured in order to protect her and "keep her under him", and the second was to tell Xu Siyi that she, Yu Ruwei, had been taking care of him in the ward during the time he was in a coma.
Xu Siyi sensed something was wrong with the words, glanced at Xu Qiao beside him, frowned and said, "Ms. Yu, I would do the same if it were someone else, you don't have to feel guilty."
Yu Ruwei was a little embarrassed: "Is that so."
Mo Chenghong smiled silently and said to Xu Siyi, "Miss Yu has been seeing you in the ward for almost a month and has neglected your work. Siyi, you have to thank Miss Yu."
Xu Siyi raised his eyes and said to Yu Ruwei, "I'm fine now, Miss Yu, don't worry, work is more important."
She wanted to stay and talk, but now she couldn't sit still. Yu Ruwei picked up her bag, smiled dryly and nodded: "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first."
Seeing that she finally left, Mo Chenghong pushed his glasses aside and pressed his nose bridge: "Finally she left. I don't know how much blood his agent sucked out of me during this period of time."
Xu Siyi took Xu Qiao's hand, put it in his palm and fumbled with it, and asked casually: "What happened?"
Mo Chenghong pretended not to see what the two were doing and said, "Before the news of your car accident reached China, the fact that you were a bed substitute for Xu Qiao in "Water Ghost" was exposed."
Xu Siyi frowned, and it was not difficult to imagine what would happen if it was exposed: "Then what?"
"You just won the Best Actor award, and now you're being slept with by someone else. Your fans who are even more arrogant than you can't stand it, so they went to Xu Qiao's Weibo to curse him."
Xu Siyi listened to what he said and apologized to Xu Qiao.
He had indeed handled the matter improperly. He should have considered the adverse consequences of his actions on Xu Qiao, but when he saw someone touching him, he couldn't help himself.
Xu Qiao smiled and said lazily, "Why should I apologize? Shouldn't I feel honored to have the movie star serve as my bed substitute?"
Xu Siyi chuckled and pressed his palm.
Mo Chenghong shook his head and continued, "Then a bunch of rumors about your relationship came out. Xu Qiao was scolded a lot, and I wanted you to come out and clarify. But you got into a car accident and got injured because of Yu Ruwei. Her agent took advantage of the situation and hyped up the rumor that you and Yu Ruwei were in a relationship."
Hearing this, Xu Siyi was a little unhappy. Thinking of Yu Ruwei who was just present, he felt uncomfortable: "Did the studio help me clarify it?"
"No, I just happened to take my eyes off Xu Qiao. I thought, give Xu Qiao some time first, and then I'll dispel the rumors about your relationship with Yu Ruwei when you wake up. Who knew you'd slept for so long?"
Mo Chenghong was somewhat helpless. "During this period, her agent has been releasing some news every now and then, saying how happy you two were working together during the filming, and how Yu Ruwei was waiting in the ward to take care of you."
For someone as popular as Xu Siyi, when his girlfriend is exposed, there will inevitably be diss from her fans.
As a result, the car accident came at a coincidence. Yu Ruwei was protected by Xu Siyi after all this, and she was the one who waited for her in the ward and took care of her without taking off her clothes.
She created an image of deep love and devoted waiting, which changed the attitudes of many fans. They began to like her a little, and even the fans who had scolded her the most at the beginning stopped talking.
There is also a subtle tendency to accept this "sister-in-law".
There's nothing I can do... My brother loves her so much that he's willing to sacrifice himself to protect her, and my sister-in-law also has deep affection for him, so what else can a fan say
Mo Chenghong got a little angry when he said this: "If she really did something to help, I wouldn't be so cold to a girl. But she just sits in the ward every day, as if she can see a flower on your face. She also has to accept interviews from time to time, looking lost and haggard... She can't help at all and keeps messing up the medical staff. How can I not be angry when I see this?"
After Xu Siyi heard what he said, his face looked unhappy.
Thinking about the same romance rumor, Xu Qiao was being scolded while Yu Ruwei was enjoying all the benefits, Xu Siyi felt unbalanced.
Holding Xu Qiao's hand tightly, Xu Siyi asked, "Where's my phone?"
Mo Chenghong took it out of his bag and handed it to him: "Here it is. It's fully charged."
Xu Siyi opened his phone and logged into Weibo, and saw that the studio had released the news that he had woken up and was in good health.
After liking and forwarding this Weibo post, Xu Siyi sat on the hospital bed and put the phone in Xu Qiao's hand: "Help me record a short video."
Xu Qiao nodded, took the phone and turned on the camera.
In the camera, Xu Siyi looked a little haggard, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
He smiled and greeted the camera, reported that he was safe, and told his fans that he was fine.
The video was uploaded to Weibo, and fans were overjoyed to see that he had really woken up. The super topic became as lively as Chinese New Year.
[I feel relieved that Si Yi is fine]
[Brother Qiuqiu should be more active and post more on Weibo during this period, so that we can feel more at ease]
[Agree with the sister above]
[Seconded]
After Xu Siyi finished sending the message, he refreshed the page.
I just happened to see a Weibo post from a marketing account that said, "Yu Ruwei waits in the ward and wakes up Xu Siyi with all her heart, and their relationship is confirmed."
Xu Siyi narrowed his eyes and forwarded it directly, adding a sentence: "Fake."
Before fans had time to celebrate their brother's waking up, they saw this message and had complicated expressions on their faces.
Ask my brother to post more on Weibo, and look, it’s coming.
Fake.
How concise and to the point! These two short words reveal the disdain for fake news. He is too lazy to even explain. He is worthy of being Si Yi.
The super topic became even more lively, and the atmosphere of joy was even greater than before.
[If my brother had explained a lot, saying that they were not lovers but just partners, and that they had a car accident, etc., I would have thought that my brother was trying to cover up the truth and didn't want to make their relationship public for the time being. But, he said, "Fake!" These two words were so convincing that I immediately believed it.]
[I was trying so hard to convince myself to accept the fact and bless the relationship hahahaha, now I am fine again! ]
[Since they are not a couple, why has Yu Ruwei been pestering Si Yi for the past month...]
[Are you happy to ride on the popularity? The love news is released every other day. Brother is kind enough to protect you, but in the end he just wants to use his popularity to ride on the popularity]
[Impressed]
[My friends in Venice told me that Yu Ruwei just stayed in the ward and did nothing. Don’t listen to the nice messages they sent saying that they were taking care of her brother. Ugh]
[??? This is too much]
Yu Ruwei's agent released this Weibo post, but before he could ask the internet trolls to leave congratulatory comments, he saw Xu Siyi's retweet.
"… "
He thought that even if he clarified the matter, Xu Siyi would at least take care of Yu Ruwei's face and say something polite. After all, the two of them had worked together on a film.
As long as she said some polite words, it would give people room for vague imagination. Later, if Yu Ruwei had more contact with the new actor, she would be exposed.
I never expected that he was too lazy to even say polite words!
Mo Chenghong read his Weibo post and didn't have any objection.
This is a good thing. Not only does it sever ties with Yu Ruwei, but anyone in the circle who wants to get involved in the scandal will have to consider whether they can tolerate the cold sarcasm of "fake".
After Xu Siyi clarified, he did not put down his phone, but turned his head to look at Xu Qiao.
He sat next to him, the sunlight pouring in from the window, gently gathering around him from behind, cutting out clear lines of light and dark on his body.
A sour yet sweet feeling filled my chest.
"Let's be public, as lovers," said Xu Siyi.
Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment. His gaze made her thoughts slow down for a moment.
Publicly, as lovers.
Mo Chenghong hesitated to speak. Xu Siyi had just woken up and he didn't want to discourage him, but...
Mo Chenghong glanced at the two people, but he didn't say anything against it. He just suggested:
"You two are still young, I still hope you can think it over carefully. Homosexuals will receive more attention and doubts than others. Are you sure you will continue this? Are you sure you can bear the negative impact that may arise after going public?"
"I've thought it through." Xu Siyi lowered his eyelashes, "If it wasn't Xu Qiao, it wouldn't be anyone else."
"In this case, what difference does it make whether it is made public earlier or later?"
Such a decisive tone always makes people want to refute subconsciously. As a person who has experienced it, Mo Chenghong wanted to remind him not to speak too confidently, but when he met his eyes, he stopped talking.
It was a very calm look.
It was not the look of a stubborn young man who was determined to declare his love against the world.
He was just stating a fact.
A fact that will never change for him.
Mo Chenghong couldn't help but be touched by such a look. His doubts slowly wavered, and he couldn't help but start to believe in this young man whom he had been following since his debut.
Why am I so hesitant? Is it true that the older you get, the more you think? Mo Chenghong smiled bitterly. These two young people are not afraid, so why am I making excuses
Xu Siyi stared at Xu Qiao's face.
During the time he was in a coma, he had many bizarre dreams.
Although it was a dream, the sensation was extremely clear, as if he was watching stories from a bystander's perspective, but he was the protagonist of the story.
At the beginning, he was the eldest son of a great general, and he personally went to the famous rouge shop in the market to choose a birthday gift for his mother.
On the way, he ran into a veiled girl who gave the steaming cakes in her arms to the grandfather and grandson begging on the roadside. The girl's face could not be seen clearly, but the way she smiled at the little beggar with curved eyes touched his heart.
Later, the girl also came into the rouge shop, and he couldn't help but ask her what kind of rouge she liked. He thought that his question must have been abrupt and frivolous, but the girl was just a little surprised, then asked in a gentle voice who the gift was for, and patiently helped him choose.
After that, I went back and forth on that street many times, but I never saw that figure again.
The next time he saw him, it was a young man from a noble family in Kyoto who had tricked him into going to a red-light district. He wanted to turn around and leave, but when he saw the woman on the stage playing the pipa with her head down, he stopped in his tracks.
The woman was beautiful, and her every frown and smile was charming. He recognized her at a glance as the girl who gave the cakes to the beggar that day.
It turns out that she is a prostitute.
From others, he learned that her name was Qinghan, that she was a performer but not a woman, and that she played the pipa very well. He began to hang out in brothels to protect her from others' insults. They loved each other, but treated each other with courtesy and never stepped out of line.
Later, Qinghan told him that she was not a girl.
"I only know you are Qinghan."
Later, he died on the battlefield.
The scenes in the dream changed, and I came to medieval England, Chongxu Sect in the cultivation world, and the end of the world occupied by foreign races...
It was not until Xu Qiao's voice, faintly, then gradually became clear, came to his ears that the nightmare suddenly faded away.
"If you don't wake up, I'll go find someone else."
There is no one else, there will be no one else.
He just opened his eyes and locked his eyes on the person in front of him.
Xu Siyi knew that the people in his dream were him and Xu Qiao. He and his lover would forget the people and events of the past every time, and fall in love with each other again as if by fate.
Although there is never a good ending in life.
"Have you really thought it through?" Mo Chenghong's voice came from the side, bringing Xu Siyi back from his wandering thoughts.
Xu Siyi smiled and said, "There's nothing to think about."
The reason for going public is not to get other people's blessings, but I just don't want to hide like many couples in the circle.
Looking at Xu Qiao, Xu Siyi asked, "Are you willing?"
If you are willing, I will accept blessings or abuses with you. If you are not willing, then the day will remain the same as before.
He knew that Xu Qiao might have some vague impressions of those worlds, but he couldn't remember anything specific.
This is better. He doesn't want to tell Xu Qiao about these dreams, which will only add to his confusion and troubles.
I also don't want to rely on this memory as a bargaining chip to tie this person down - to sleep soundly in my relationship from now on.
Before those dreams, before he was just Xu Siyi, he had already fallen in love with the person in front of him. Whenever he was asked, he could tell Xu Qiao: I didn't fall in love with you because of those memories, because of those past.
I love you only because I am Xu Siyi and you are Xu Qiao. It has nothing to do with Qinghan who plays the pipa in the brothel, the high-spirited Nie Yunsheng, the Melville of the Middle Ages, or anything else.
It was so before, and it is so now, and we will fall in love again.
But every time we fall in love, we are just the person at that moment.
