Chapter 53: The Sickbed
During the 1-minute commercial break, Jimmy ran to the side of the stage and gestured to the director team backstage.
The assistant director's face was full of joy and he raised four fingers at him.
β40%οΌβ Jimmy asked, lip-shaped.
The assistant director shook his head, his lips rolled - "4 times! 4 times better! β
It's a 4-fold increase in ratings! It's nothing short of a miracle! This has surpassed the pinnacle of talk shows that year - Oprah talk show!
This means that on TV alone, nearly 20 million people are watching at this time!
You know, the population of the United States is only 320 million!
Jimmy clenched his fists, made a triumphant gesture on his chest, took a deep breath, and walked back to his seat with a flushed face.
The advertising break is over.
"Welcome back! This is Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show! "Maybe it's because of the explosive growth of ratings, which makes Jimmy's mood very excited.
"SO, Lu, when did you have superpowers? Is it born with it? Jimmy asked.
"Of course not!" Lu Xiaoqi's face was serious: "I was trained out!" With 3,000 push-ups, 5,000 frog jumps, and 5 hours of long-distance running every day, you can become a superpower! β
Jimmy was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react that Lu Xiaoqi made a joke, and punched Lu Xiaoqi in the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Come.on!" I almost believed it! I didn't expect you guys to be able to joke too! β
βouchοΌβ As soon as he finished speaking, Jimmy's face turned bitter and he shook his hand, "You are really a body of steel, it hurts me to death!" β
The audience burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry!" Lu Xiaoqi also laughed: "I don't usually like to joke much, I was infected by you!" β
Jimmy rolled his eyes.
"Actually, if you want to talk about my superpowers, I should have awakened my superpowers when I first came to the United States, when I encountered robbers! I don't know why, but I was full of power, and then I beat those bastards! Of course, Lu Xiaoqi won't tell the truth, it can only be regarded as a half-truth.
"What! I thought you were like Peter Parker, bitten by some kind of bug! I'm looking forward to it! Jimmy started again, rolled his eyes, and lowered his voice: "Don't lie to me!" If there really is such a bug, please catch one for me, and when I am bitten too, we will maintain world peace together! What do you think? β
The audience booed.
"Well, you know, I've had a lot of big names on my show, such as the president of the United States, the richest man in the world, the best actor and actress, the NBA star, and so on, and I've asked the same question every time: What happened to your life after becoming that dazzling identity? What would you do with this identity? Jimmy asked, putting away his hippie smile.
"To my life? I don't feel any change, I'm still studying and living in school, doing the same thing every day, as for what to do with my identity......" Lu Xiaoqi was interrupted by Jimmy before he finished speaking.
"Wait a minute! Before you answer, I'll guess! Jimmy's face was full of excitement: "If I were you, I'd go to the Olympics, go to Hercules, and go to boxing!" There is no doubt that you will get the Grand Slams of many tournaments, as well as countless money! β
The audience laughed, and Lu Xiaoqi was speechless.
"My dream has never changed, I want to be a physical scientist." Lu Xiaoqi said.
"Wow, I almost forgot that you were a physics student at Harvard!" Jimmy was changed the topic by Lu Xiaoqi: "I've always wanted to ask you, aren't you supposed to go to school in school?" Why did you come to New York recently? β
"I was selected by Professor Lisa Randall to join her team as an assistant and to do research at Brookhaven National Laboratory!" Lu Xiaoqi replied.
"Cool!" A picture of Brookhaven National Laboratory appeared on the large screen behind Jimmy, and the audience applauded.
"A future scientist with superpowers? That's great! God bless America! Jimmy kept complimenting: "I look forward to the day when your dream will come true!" β
"Thank you!" Lu Xiaoqi smiled.
"So, after coming to the U.S., do you have any friends at school?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoqi turned to the camera: "I still remember when I first came to the United States, I was unfamiliar with life, but fortunately there was an enthusiastic girl......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A luxurious private hospital in Houston.
A sickly pale girl was lying on a hospital bed, holding a PAD in her hand, looking at something intently, occasionally smiling at the corner of her mouth.
An old man in a black suit sits on the edge of his bed, and at the door of the ward stands two tall black men - both of whom were once America's most elite special forces.
The old man's face was full of wrinkles and age spots, but he was in good spirits, and he couldn't hide the guilt on his face when he looked at the quiet girl on the hospital bed.
"Ho-ho-ho!" The voice in the old man's throat was muddy and hoarse, and the doctor had said that the girl needed to rest, and he tried to snatch the PAD from the girl's hand.
"One more moment, Grandpa!" Anne turned her head to look at the old man, and the smile on her face, as if the illness could not cause her any trouble, this smile was as bright as the sun, blooming like a flower.
More than half a month ago, she went to this hospital from school to visit her grandfather who was suffering from cancer, and half a month later, she was lying in the hospital bed suffering from cancer, and her grandfather lost his tongue, but the disease was cured!
All the doctors couldn't explain why, and could only attribute it all to coincidence and miracles.
Since falling ill, her condition has deteriorated day by day, and in just a few days, the cancer has progressed to an advanced stage!
She has not been able to return to school since she fell ill, and she did not tell her friends about her situation, only that she would take a break from school to travel for a while.
Isn't that what travel is? It's just the last leg of life's journey.
It's just a pity that my dream of being a lawyer is a pity that it is difficult to see the fruit trees planted by myself in my hometown California manor, and it is a pity that the Chinese boy who moved his heart but has not reacted so far.
The old man stretched his neck and saw the close-up of Lu Xiaoqi in his granddaughter's PAD, and Lu Xiaoqi's face was sincere: "If you are watching, I want to say thank you to you!" Annie! β
A sickly flush welled up on the girl's pale face, her eyes began to moisten, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became thicker and thicker!
The sunset shone through the glass of the window and hit the girl's face, which should have been the most beautiful picture in the world, but the old man did not dare to look at it, his heart was dripping blood.
"Damn demons! Why me? Why are you torturing my granddaughter?! The old man roared in his heart, "She's still so young!" β
"Is it because of that Asian man? The demon is nothing more than trying to find trouble with him! Damn bastard it's inconvenient to shoot himself and want to use me as a thug?! Damn it! The old man's eyes were full of anger: "Damn the yellow-skinned pig!" It's all you! How could my granddaughter be like this without you?! He couldn't do anything to that "clown", so he turned his anger to Lu Xiaoqi!
Seeing that the girl was moved to cry by the man in the video, the old man clenched his fists: "Annie! My silly boy! Why do you like this guy? Do you know that you are sick like this, it is all because of Him? Don't worry, Annie! Wait for grandpa to help you get rid of him, and your illness will be cured! Grandpa will definitely save you! The old man swore fiercely in his heart.
