The script Qin Yu gave Lin Xi was called "The harem". He could tell from the name that it was an ancient costume play, which told of the love and hatred the harem girls had for each other.
The second female lead was the villain in the script. She relied on her family and beauty to be domineering in the imperial harem, bullying concubines of lower rank than her. She turned around and angered people of higher rank than her. In the early stages, she had bullied the female lead very badly. In the later stages, she was beaten up by the female lead, and finally, she died on the day the female lead was conferred the title of Queen.
Although the supporting female lead wasn't very pleasing to the eyes, it was fortunate that the plot wasn't too bad.
When Lin Xi first got the script, she originally wanted to casually flip through it, but she never expected that the moment she opened it, he could not help but read the entire script from the beginning to the end, and was still unsatisfied.
With regards to the script, Lin Xi did not hesitate, and immediately decided to accept the role.
Because this movie was mainly invested in Tian Yi, the director had promised to leave the role of female lead to Tian Yi, allowing Tian Yi to casually recommend any of its artists.
After Lin Xi made his decision, Tian Yi quickly sent her information to the director. That afternoon, the manager of Tian Yi held up a contract and went to find Lin Xi, who immediately signed it in the ward.
When she thought about how she would be able to act very soon, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel excited.
Furthermore, she had not had another fever for a week. The doctor said that if her body was healthy again after tonight, she could be discharged tomorrow. Lin Xi could not be happier.
Because the second day was the day she was going to be discharged, Lin Xi decided to go to bed early and get up early.
She dreamed of her father, of him caught in a blazing flame that soon burned his skin, and he cried out in pain. Lin Xi herself was at the edge of the flame. She wanted to rush into the flame to save her father, but every time she did so, she was bounced back.
Lin Xi woke up from her dream with tears flowing all over her face. She knew that she had a fever, but she couldn't care less about that.
She was being hospitalized at the same hospital as her father.
She had sneaked into her father's room before, but there were still bodyguards at the door and she hadn't been able to see him in person.
Lin Xi randomly draped some clothes on herself, then anxiously ran back to her father's sickroom.
When she reached the door, it was wide open, but there were no bodyguards, no father.
Just then, a night nurse walked over. Lin Xi acted as if she had seen his savior and hurried forward to grab her: "Have you seen the patient in this ward? Where did he go? "How are things now?"
The moment the nurse got close to Lin Xi, she felt that something was amiss, "Aiya, you have a fever! Which ward do you live in? I'll send you back first. "
Lin Xi shook her head, unwilling to leave, and could only ask her where the people from the sickroom were.
The nurse could not do anything about her question. She sighed and said, "An hour ago, Mr. Lin's condition suddenly worsened and he was sent to the operation room. Now, he has just been transferred to the ICU.
Lin Xi's tears flowed even more violently than before, "What will happen if he doesn't make it this time?"
Originally, according to regulations, the patient's condition could not be leaked to anyone other than the family members, but when the nurse saw Lin Xi silently crying, her expression became sorrowful, as if she herself felt the same way, and in the end, could not hold back and told her.
"With Mr. Lin's current condition, for recovery, you can only undergo craniotomy. However, the success rate is very low, less than ten percent. But if we do not get an operation, even if Mr. Lin can make it through tonight, I'm afraid that he will not wake up again in the future. "
With that, she added, "Mr. Lin's eldest daughter really loves her father. Because the success rate of the surgery is too low, she is unable to bear the risk of losing her family members, so he refused to operate on Mr. Lin."
Lin Xi looked at the nurse's opened and closed mouth as her mind buzzed. She originally wanted to ask where the Intensive Care Unit was, but everything suddenly went black and she lost consciousness.
Qin Yu received a call from the Central District Hospital at 2 in the morning, saying that Bai Nianxi suddenly fainted from fever again. He quickly put on her clothes and secretly went to the hospital alone, not daring to disturb the Old Madem Qin.
In front of Lin Xi's ward, Qin Yu saw the doctor on duty. He frowned and asked: "Didn't you say you can be discharged tomorrow? Why is there a sudden fever? "
The doctor on duty explained in a low voice, "When the nurses checked the ward, they suddenly found that the Miss Bai was missing, and then we started to check the surveillance to find out that she ran to the ward in Area A alone. When we went over there, she had already fainted. Fortunately, it was not too serious, and she had already woken up after the injection, but she had been crying ever since she woke up, and she refused to speak no matter what we asked her. "
Qin Yu paused while pushing open the door: "Did you find out why she went to ward A?"
"We are also not sure about that …" The doctor shook his head apologetically, "But at that time, there was a nurse from District A who ran into Miss Bai. She said that the Miss Bai asked her about the illness of the Mr. Lin and suddenly fainted."
"Alright, I understand." Qin Yu waved his hand, signalling to the doctor on duty not to go in with him, and then carefully opened the door to Lin Xi's room.
Lin Xi was crying, and her tears were flowing silently.
As Qin Yu watched, his heart suddenly throbbed in pain.
He purposely made some noise when she closed the door, but Lin Xi seemed to not have noticed at all.
Qin Yu sighed, went forward and carried Lin Xi in her arms, and leaned him against the headboard of the bed.
"Why are you crying?" Qin Yu held her hands and asked softly.
His palm was cold and wrapped around Lin Xi's skin that had just burned up. Lin Xi trembled lightly as if she was frightened.
Maybe because of the care Qin Yu had shown these days, Lin Xi had become dependent on her, or perhaps because whenhe was weak, she would be unable to hold back and let down his guard against anyone who approached her. Starting from his hand, Lin Xi's entire person started to tremble lightly. Then, as if she couldn't endure it any longer, she leaned into Qin Yu's embrace and started to cry loudly.
Qin Yu didn't say anything, he only hugged her quietly and patted her back occasionally to comfort her. When Lin Xi finally calmed down, he slowly stopped crying.
He didn't ask Lin Xi why she was crying anymore. Instead, he said softly, "I promised you that as long as you cooperate with me in pretending to be a couple, I would agree to one of your requests. You can say it now, what do you want?"
Lin Xi looked up at him.
Looking at the pair of teary eyes, Qin Yu's heart once again throbbed painfully.
A few days ago, Lin Xi was hospitalized due to illness, but because he felt that there was a connection between him and her, she had always been very accommodating towards her. Most of the things she asked for, if not too much, he would satisfy her.
But now, he suddenly felt that no matter what Lin Xi wanted, no matter how excessive the request was, as long as she asked for it, he would agree to it without hesitation.
"I want you to think of a way to wake Lin Quansheng up." Lin Xi pleaded with red eyes.
Before Qin Yu nodded, he asked, "Are you concerned about him?"
Lin Xi knew that her actions just now were too abnormal. When Grandfather Bai passed away, she did not even do this, but her father's life was at stake.
She lowered her eyes and said, "I had no parents since I was young and was supported by the Mr. Lin. In my heart, I have already treated him as my father. I know what I said was absurd, but sometimes I feel that I am his daughter. I want him to wake up, and I also want to find out who killed Lin Xi so that I can take revenge for her … I want to do that. "
After saying that, as if she was waiting for a judgement, she pretended to be calm and looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu recognized the emotions in her eyes one by one: worry, fear, panic, weakness … He suddenly could not bear to continue watching. He used his hand to cover his eyes and said, "I promise you."
However, Qin Yu's promise did not lessen Lin Xi's worry.
Daddy is still in the ICU, and I don't know if he'll make it through tonight.
But the only thing she was sure of was that if Dad made it through the night, if he could say what he wanted, he would have to have surgery soon. He would rather die on the operating table than be a vegetable forever, unable to communicate with the outside world.
However, Lin Qian obviously did not want his father to wake up. Lin Xi even suspected that her father's condition had worsened time and time again.
She wanted to snatch her father back from Lin Qian's grasp, but she was now a stranger to the Lin Family. Even if she wanted to meet her father, she would be stopped by a bodyguard outside the sickroom. She had no other choice but to seek help from Qin Yu.
Sensing the warmth coming from behind him, Lin Xi did not get up from Qin Yu's embrace. She wanted to rely on the person behind her to indulge herself once …
The next morning, when Lin Xi woke up, she was already gone. She was alone on the bed but the blanket on her body smelled of cologne.
"You're awake?" The nurse who was always waiting inside the ward exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Qin wants me to tell you that the Mr. Lin of District A is temporarily stable. He has already been transferred to the ordinary ward, so you need to rest in peace."
Lin Xi was startled for a moment, her eyes slowly became red again, she held back her tears, smiled and thanked the nurse, her heart finally relaxed and went back to her stomach.
"You're welcome." The nurse said while taking Lin Xi's body temperature and checking her other indicators.
She was older than Lin Xi by a few years, and although she was warm, she knew him well. When she checked on him, she sighed to Lin Xi: "Right now, a rich, handsome, and devoted man like Mr. Qin is becoming fewer and fewer in number. Miss Bai is truly fortunate."
Lin Xi laughed, and declined to comment.
For the next three days, Qin Yu did not come back to the hospital again due to the nurse saying he was "handsome and devoted". On the fourth day, he brought a few important shareholders of the Lin's and arrived in front of the A Region's Lin Quansheng's ward, using the authority of the Lin's to pressure Lin Qian.
If she wanted to continue managing the Lin's with the support of the shareholders, she would have to agree to send Father Lin abroad for surgery.
Lin Qian was weak and unpopular in the company. She was forced by Qin Yu to sign the agreement, and agreed to let Qin Yu bring Father Lin to be treated abroad. She also authorized Qin Yu to supervise Father Lin from now on.
After he received the consent and authorization, that very day, he arranged for a private plane to take Father Lin to A Nation.
He did not know if his father would eventually wake up, but in A, he would receive the best treatment and care.
When he sent Father Lin off, Lin Xi and Lin Qian was also there.
Lin Xi looked at the plane that slowly disappeared from her sight, feeling joy and worry.
Just then, Lin Qian suddenly walked over to her side, grinded her teeth and asked her: "Who exactly are you? It was you who asked Qin Yu to send my father out of the country, right? "
Qin Yu would not suddenly bring Lin Quansheng out of the country for no reason at all, and Lin Qian was sure that he and Lin Quansheng had never met before. On the contrary, he had heard from the nurse a few days ago that Director Qin's fiancee was very concerned about Lin Quansheng's illness. On the night that Lin Quansheng was critically ill, Bai Nianxi had even fainted in a hurry.
"Why are you doing this?" Lin Qian asked again, looking at Lin Xi with eyes full of vigilance.
Lin Xi didn't answer her question, but instead asked her: "Are you afraid? Afraid that the Mr. Lin would wake up? Afraid of losing the Lin's? " Even afraid of being found out? Afraid of going to prison?
Lin Qian's pupils suddenly shrank.
Lin Xi did not miss her expression that instant, and said while laughing: "So it turns out that you are really afraid, then I am relieved." Karma, what you steal from others, sooner or later you have to pay it back.
Not far away, Qin Yu was walking in Lin Xi's direction. Lin Xi didn't pay any more attention to him and directly went to meet him.
