The next day, Li Xiang came to the seagrass house and continued to record the latest episode of "Longing for Life". He received a call from a guest, saying that it was a girl who wanted to eat hairy crab and sake lees fish.

Everyone immediately prepared the ingredients and prepared to welcome the guests.

The guest came, a mature and beautiful woman, a well-known and highly qualified singer, and there was a phone call with her.

Li Bingyun's phone.

Li Xiang and He Hao all received it, and on the phone, Li Bingyun cried and told them that Cao Jiakai had taken an overdose of sleeping pills and was being rescued.

The two immediately asked the crew for leave and hurried to Shengjing. Less than half an hour after the plane took off, Li Bingyun's call came again, Li Xiang chuckled in his heart, glanced at He Haoquan, and learned that Cao Jiakai had died after being rescued.

When Li Xiang and He Haoquan rushed to the hospital, the reporters had already heard the news and gathered in the lobby of the hospital.

The scene was noisy, and the reporter wanted to interview the relevant personnel, but the hospital refused to let it.

"Li Xiang, it's Li Xiang who is here!! Li Xiang - I have a question for you!"

"He Haoquan is also here, stop them~~ for an interview. ”

"Li Xiang, it is said that the last person Cao Jiakai saw before he died was you??"

"Li Xiang - does Cao Jiakai's death have anything to do with you??"

"Director He~Director He~~ Why did Cao Jiakai choose to commit suicide? Do you know the reason?"

......

When the reporters saw Li Xiang and He Haoquan coming in, they surrounded them and asked for interviews, blocking them from entering the elevator, and all kinds of bizarre questions were thrown over.

Li Xiang's head is now a mess, and many things are crowded in his mind, as if he has lost the ability to take care of himself, and he can't sort out a clear clue, causing the whole person to be stunned.

He Haoquan is not much better, he and Li Xiang haven't said a word since they got off the plane, they just want to go to the hospital to meet Cao Jiakai as soon as possible, seeing is believing, otherwise they can't believe that Cao Jiakai is dead, and he was still drinking and chatting with them yesterday.

"Li Xiang - does Cao Jiakai's death have anything to do with you??"

A middle-aged male reporter almost poked the microphone in Li Xiang's face, and asked sharply, staring at him with burning eyes, as if to see something from his face.

He didn't see anything, and the next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, screamed, and the whole person couldn't help but bend over, unable to hold the microphone in his hand, and then, he heard a crisp sound again, and the right side of his face was hot and swollen.

"How do you beat people?"

"Hit someone!!"

"Celebrities hit people!! ah-"

His shoulder was kicked by Li Xiang and he fell to the ground, with his bottom facing the sky.

Li Xiang was about to rush up and beat someone, but was hugged by other people at the scene, He Haoquan was about to rush up, but he was also hugged by his agent who rushed over.

"Don't fight, don't fight, Haoquan, calm down. He Haoquan's agent hurriedly persuaded him, he was not as big as He Haoquan, and he couldn't pull it a little.

The first and third kicks just now were kicked by Li Xiang, and the slap was slapped by He Haoquan.

Wang Yinzhen also rushed to grab Li Xiang to prevent him from continuing to beat people impulsively.

The male reporter who fell to the ground screamed, shouting loudly that the star had beaten someone, and asked to call the police, and suddenly saw Li Xiang bending over, and was so frightened that he immediately shut up.

Li Xiang picked up the voice recorder that almost hit his face just now, handed it to Wang Yinzhen, and said, "Take this, this is evidence when the police come." ”

Just now, this person asked in public whether Cao Jiakai's death had anything to do with him, which involved reputation and slander.

Li Xiang no longer paid attention to the person's cry and cried out of pain, and rushed to the ward, and the reporters crowded in the hall subconsciously moved out of the way, and no one dared to stop them.

In the ward, there are Xu Shuzhi, Zhou Ni, Li Bingyun with red eyes, and two middle-aged people, a man and a woman.

Li Bingyun said that these two people are Cao Jiakai's brother and sister-in-law.

Cao Jiakai's mother passed away last year, and there is only a 70-year-old father left in the family, and he still doesn't dare to tell his father, worried that he can't bear it psychologically.

Cao Jiakai, who was lying on the hospital bed, was pale and completely lost his vitality, but he looked like he had a peaceful temperament.

He Haoquan stood beside the hospital bed with his hands covered his face, crying silently.

Before filming "I Am Not the God of Medicine", he and Cao Jiakai were not very acquainted, but they got along with the crew for five months, which made him full of admiration for this man who made a living from drama.

Anyone who treats his profession sacredly is worthy of admiration.

He also captured excellent qualities such as cuteness, sincerity, wisdom, and open-mindedness from Cao Jiakai's quiet personality.

These excellent qualities are precious to anyone, let alone in the entertainment industry where desire is rampant.

Compared with these precious virtues, the denigration and accusation of his homosexuality by others is nothing at all, but makes He Haoquan think that this is a manifestation of his pursuit of freedom and liberation.

He was saddened by the loss of such a friend who had given him many surprises when he first met......

Li Xiang stood by the window in a daze, the warm sun at noon was shining on his body, but he couldn't feel the warmth, and his heart was cold and tight.

His gaze fell on the hospital bed, avoiding Cao Jiakai's face as if he was afraid.

He didn't dare to look at it anymore after taking a look, he was really worried that he would shout "Brother Kai" and tell him to get up and talk about literature.

Li Xiang couldn't figure out how the person who was drinking with him yesterday was discussing the "Escape Technique" with him alive, and how could his soul fly away after one night? What did he think deep down when he took the second half of the box of sleeping pills? How could he have so much courage?

Li Xiang then thought that there is no one in the world who is not afraid of death, so when a person takes the initiative to choose death, his heart must have died first, and it is precisely because of despair that he can go to the next step without fear.

There is no obstacle in the heart, no obstacle in the way.

Li Xiang suddenly popped up this sentence in his mind, this sentence that he discussed with Cao Jiakai yesterday. At that time, Cao Jiakai asked him about his understanding of this sentence, and he said that when a person has no worries, he can do anything, including fearlessness of death.

Li Xiang figured it out in an instant, and his heart instantly became even more like a knife.

It turned out that when Cao Jiakai talked to him about "Escape" last night, he had already had the will to die.

In "Escape", in order to resist the oppression of life and the livelihood of the whole family, his cousin-in-law gave up everything and used his life to "change" a blood-stained magic.

Now, Cao Jiakai has also used his life to deduce the rebellion against the world's vision!

His partner gave up on him, he didn't give up his freedom, he preferred to die rather than give in.

Li Xiang's gaze gradually moved up from the end of the bed, and finally landed on Cao Jiakai's serene face.

He didn't look in pain at all, he was so peaceful.

Li Bingyun walked to his side, both of them were in grief, relying on each other and being able to give each other warmth.

Li Bingyun whispered that Cao Jiakai took sleeping pills at 9 o'clock this morning, lying on a recliner on the balcony, and was found by the housekeeper who came to clean every week.

On this day, all the news in the entertainment industry was dominated by Cao Jiakai, and after coming out last time, he once again became a figure of national discussion.

Only this time, he will not feel any more pressure, public opinion can say whatever it wants, everything has nothing to do with him.

Cao Jiakai's funeral will be held three days later, and the next day Li Xiang, Li Bingyun and He Haoquan will go to Cao Jiakai's house to help pack up the relics. On the balcony, there was a reclining chair, which, as expected, should be where Cao Jiakai ended up lying, and it was here that he took sleeping pills.

On the floor next to the chaise longue, there is a pot of orchids that are growing beautifully, bathed in the thin sunlight and swaying in the wind.

Li Bingyun burst into tears, this was what she brought from Nanke Town to Cao Jiakai.

"Li Xiang, come here. He Haoquan called Li Xiang over and found a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea" in the study.

"You see, on the title page of this book is the word Jiakai. ”

Li wanted to open "The Old Man and the Sea" he gave to Cao Jiakai last night, and when he opened the homepage, he saw this sentence on the title page:

"When the night turns over, it's a new day, and when the tsunami recedes, it's just the ebb and flow. ”

This is a sentence he wrote on the title page of "The Old Man and the Sea", which was given to Cao Jiakai to encourage him to continue to move forward.

Now, after this sentence, there is one more handwritten pen word:

"Life is like a day in the West Mountain, and fame is like frost on the grass. ”
