Chapter 45: Lying Comes at a Cost
Two days later, Mencius returned to S City with Lu Xingchen.
As soon as she arrived in S City, the agent Sister Fei asked Mencius to go out to talk about the contract, and Mencius also promised Sister Fei to give her an answer in a week.
A week passed quickly, although she didn't mention anything about Lu Xingchen this week, fortunately, she also thought it through, and she also decided to go to the law firm today to find Lu Xingchen and tell him about it.
Coincidentally, as soon as Mencius entered the law firm's office, he saw Li Shengnan getting up to welcome her warmly, and Mencius knew that he had bad intentions at a glance, "Mr. Li, why are you suddenly so strange?" ”
"Sister Meng, I'm here to discuss with you whether to renew the contract with our company to shoot commercials." Li Shengnan said.
At this time, Lu Xingchen happened to get up from the boss's chair, and coughed a few times by the way, his face was also a little bad, Mencius didn't have time to answer Li Shengnan's question, and hurriedly stepped forward to care about him, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Xingchen cupped his forehead, his voice was a little weak, "It's okay, it's probably heat stroke, I've already taken poop medicine, it's much better, by the way, Sheng Nan said, do you want to think about it?" ”
At this time, Li Shengnan walked over and put his arm on Lu Xingchen's shoulder, "Sister Meng, don't you listen to Lu Dashen the most?" Promise me! Anyway, don't you have nothing to do now? ”
Mencius retorted, "Who said that I listened to him the most, and I am not a child, this is my life and I choose it myself, and who said that I have nothing to do, I... I'm doing a lot of work! ”
Li Shengnan quipped, "Sister Meng, you won't take it as a big deal to wait for the landing god to go to work and get off work at home every day!" ”
Mencius was a little dissatisfied when he heard it, "Mr. Xiaoli, I know you are joking, but what you say hurts my self-esteem, it turns out that in your eyes, I am such a person who has nothing to do and loves every day?" ”
Lu Xingchen hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Girl, Sheng Nan didn't mean that, don't be too sensitive, okay?" ”
Li Shengnan echoed, "Yes, yes, no one says that you are a love brain, and no one says that you are idle, you have Lu Dashen, and your life is already very happy, but others don't have it?" ”
Mencius became even more angry after hearing this, "Mr. Xiaoli, what are you talking about?" It's like I'm good for nothing, and I'm sticking to him! ”
Lu Xingchen helped his headache, and said helplessly, "Stinky boy, shut up!" ”
Li Shengnan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately covered his mouth while retreating to the door, "I'll shut up, I'll get out too, you guys talk slowly!" ”
After Li Shengnan left, Lu Xingchen supported his somewhat uncomfortable body, walked to Mencius's side, pressed her shoulder, and coaxed softly, "Okay, don't be angry, you don't know that Sheng Nan is a person, he often speaks freely, you should just listen to his words, don't take it to heart." ”
For some reason, the more Mencius thought about it, the more angry he became, he broke free of his hand, and said angrily, "I am angry, and jokes have evolved from facts, if he didn't think so, would he say so?" I'm just not happy, and I'm going to impress those who think I'm worthless! ”
Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you, there will be such a day!" ”
"This day is coming, it is tomorrow, I have promised Mo Shushu's agent to sign a contract to become an artist in her studio!" Although Mencius said it very firmly, she still couldn't escape and turned her face away.
Lu Xingchen was really a little dizzy because of the cold, which caused his body to be a little unstable, he simply half leaned on and half sat on the desk behind him, supported the edge of the desk with both hands, looked at the back of her head, his voice was a little weak and a little deep, "It seems that this matter was not decided by you temporarily, let's say it!" How long have you been hiding from me? ”
"Just... Just these two days. ”
"There is a price to pay for lying, at the drinking party more than a week ago, I met Mo Shushu and his agent, Mo Shushu must have gone to greet you, presumably you knew his agent at that time, it was Mo Shushu who recommended you, it was his agent who took a fancy to you, even if you didn't plan to discuss it with me at first, but for a whole week, you didn't know at all, you knew that I asked you to keep a distance from Mo Shushu, you also..." Lu Xingchen coughed a few times as he spoke, and his throat became more and more dry and uncomfortable.
Mencius saw that he was coughing uncomfortably, and wanted to step forward, but the anger in her heart stopped her again, "That's right, I just met Mo Shushu at the cocktail party, and Mo Shushu introduced me to me, but I chose to sign the contract not because of Mo Shushu, but because I like it, I want to do what I like to do, you don't interfere with me because you don't like it, you call it selfishness, didn't you say that you want me to work hard for myself, not for you?" I'm here for myself now, you don't care about me anymore! ”
Lu Xingchen's cold momentum intensified, his head turned from the original drowsiness to a splitting headache, her roar buzzed in his ears again, it seemed to be accompanied by tinnitus, the discomfort of his body made his eyebrows wrinkle into a winding ravine, he only felt a burst of cold and heat all over his body, but these were not as uncomfortable as the "selfishness" she said herself.
This discomfort also made him angry with her, "What you like to do! Why did you choose to enter the entertainment industry? You know what kind of place it is, you just drill into it, and being an artist is a very simple thing? Especially the artist contract, do you think it's like signing an advertising contract? The legal issues involved here, if you don't figure it out, you can sign it, I ask you to use your brain, even if you go with enthusiasm at the beginning, in the end, reality will definitely beat you back to your original shape! ”
After hearing this, Mencius immediately slapped him in the face angrily, but she hesitated and didn't fight, and her grievances and anger made her eyes red, Lu Xingchen sighed secretly, and simply grabbed her hand, "Why don't you fight?" No matter how angry you are, what I'm saying is the truth, and I just want you to see the facts! ”
Mencius broke free of his hand, tears fell like a bank, crying and roaring, "Lu Xingchen, you are too much, I am not as smart as you, not as powerful as you, I just have no brains, so what are you doing with a brainless person?" I really hate you to death, break up, break up, I'll let you go and be with Zhao Chenxi..."
Lu Xingchen endured the discomfort and stood up, "You! He grabbed her arm so hard that his fingernails were about to seep into her skin, and her fair skin immediately flushed, and his face was covered with a layer of ice and anger, and his eyes were as dark as night, which made people a little frightened.
When Mencius saw his appearance, her heart jumped suddenly, she knew that she had angered him, but he really caught her in pain, and the tears that had been stopped seeped out because of the pain, "Lu Xingchen, you let go of me!" ”
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingchen really let go of her immediately, because the fatigue of the cold had made him a little drowsy, and the lightheadedness had made him unable to stand anymore, and he had no strength and spirit to argue with her again, he leaned on the desk again, and his throat had made him speak with some difficulty because of the pain, "I don't care about you, your business, you make your own decisions!" ”
When Mencius came out of the law firm, it was already dark.
She looked up at the apartment building opposite, there were probably many people who hadn't gotten off work at this point, so many floors were still dark, but the 50th floor, which was as bright as day, and the balcony full of star lights, although far away, was really bright and shining.
He said that in this way, she could find her way home when she got off work, because she was a road idiot.
Mencius looked at it and suddenly hid his face and cried, he was always thinking about her, but what about her? She never seemed to have done anything for him? But he always asked him to clean up the aftermath for her.
She suddenly thought of his last words, and a fear that he might abandon her spread in her heart, and she immediately turned back to the law firm, but she ran into the nearby pharmacy as if she remembered something.
When Mencius rushed back to the office, Lu Xingchen was nowhere to be seen, so she opened the room behind the bookcase, only to see that the room was dark, and the light switch was on the bedside, so she had to grope her way over, and when she was about to walk, she was knocked by the foot of the bed again, which made her snort, she walked along the side of the bed again, and then turned on the lamp on the bedside table.
Through the light, she saw Lu Xingchen lying on the bed, one hand on his forehead, his eyes closed, his sword eyebrows furrowed, his thin lips pursed, and his head moving around from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.
After Mencius put the medicine on the table, he immediately approached him and whispered, "Xingchen, Xingchen, are you okay?" I am Mencius, wake up..."
Seeing that he didn't react at all, Mencius anxiously probed his forehead, "It's so hot!" ”
She immediately took out the antipyretic medicine, "Xingchen, you open your mouth, hurry up and take the antipyretics," she said as she handed the medicine to his mouth, but his mouth was still closed, and he didn't seem to hear what she said at all, seeing that his expression was getting more and more painful, Mencius panicked and put the medicine in his mouth and fed him, but he didn't swallow it, she had to feed him several more mouthfuls of water, seeing that he finally swallowed the medicine, Mencius was greatly relieved, and then leaned back against the bed and sat on the ground.
After tossing for a long time, Mencius was also a little tired, he couldn't help yawning, got up and looked at Lu Xingchen again, after taking the medicine, he obviously slept peacefully, and after helping him cover the quilt, he sat back on the floor, and the whole person fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, looking at the night outside, it must have been the middle of the night, Lu Xingchen woke up, he thought it was the reason for sleeping, which made his whole person a lot easier, originally he wanted to turn over, but found that he was tired, his body seemed to be sweaty, stuffy and hot, when he wanted to lift the quilt, the quilt seemed to be pressed by something, and at the same time, Mencius was also woken up by his action of pulling the quilt.
Mencius rubbed her eyes, and when she saw Lu Xingchen who had woken up, she was so happy that she hurriedly got up, "Xingchen, you finally woke up, great, great, are you thirsty, I'll pour you water, or, where are you still uncomfortable, why don't you speak?" ”
Lu Xingchen looked at Mencius a little stunned for a while, and with a little difficulty, he half-propped himself up, leaning against the head of the bed, his voice was slightly weak and hoarse, "Aren't you leaving?" How did you come back again? He said this with a hint of negativity.
Mencius stood up, "I... I don't worry about you..."
Lu Xingchen saw her eyes a little helpless, he could only secretly helpless, he couldn't easily compromise with her this time, he said a little coldly, "Then are you relieved now?" ”
Mencius nodded and shook his head violently, his attitude suddenly so cold that it made her even more uneasy.
