Qi Xiaoyu woke up again, only to feel that his whole body was as heavy as if it were filled with lead, unable to move, and without strength.
Headache, shoulder pain, and pain all over the body.
His throat was dry and burning.
There was pure white above his head, and everything around him was white. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. It seemed that he was in the hospital.
“Are you awake? Does it hurt? If it hurts, don’t move.”
Li Kun, who was sitting on a chair next to him, saw him wake up and quickly motioned for him to lie down. “Maybe the anesthetic has worn off. If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll call a doctor.”
He was afraid that Qi Xiaoyu would focus on his shoulder and it would hurt more, so he tried to divert his attention by speaking. “Dr. Fang, who performed the operation on you this time, just came back from abroad. He has good medical skills and is a very nice person. He has come to see you many times in the past two days. If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll go find him.”
“No need.”
Qi Xiaoyu spoke with difficulty.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was startled by his own voice, which was so hoarse and husky that he couldn’t even recognize it. “Pour me a glass of water.”
“Okay, wait, I’ll get it. Don’t move, especially your left shoulder. Doctor Fang just gave you a steel needle. Don’t move.”
Li Kun was also frightened by Qi Xiaoyu’s voice. He repeatedly reminded him several times while hurriedly fetching water.
Qi Xiaoyu’s left shoulder was bandaged and fixed with a splint, and his entire upper body couldn’t move.
Li Kun carefully tilted the bed to 25 degrees and stuffed the water cup into his right hand.
After drinking most of the water in the glass, Qi Xiaoyu’s throat finally felt better.
The situation before he fell into a coma slowly came to his mind.
He remembered that it was morning when he fell off the horse, and now it was already dark outside.
He looked around and saw his mobile phone on the side cabinet, surrounded by flowers and fruit baskets.
Li Kun was still explaining his injury to him.
“You have a fractured shoulder and just had a steel needle injected. It will hurt a lot these days, but it will get better in a week. You need to rest for a month before you can get the steel needle removed. You fell off your horse and had some abrasions and sprains in other parts of your body. The doctor said you need to pay more attention these days…”
When Li Kun said this, he was still terrified when he thought of Qi Xiaoyu falling off the horse and being trampled by a horse’s hoof. “The crew is on holiday for ten days, so don’t worry. Director Yang said you can go back after you have rested. Don’t be in a hurry. They can shoot other people’s scenes first.”
“Yeah.” Qi Xiaoyu responded absentmindedly, “Help me get my phone.”
“Okay,” Li Kun responded, and he handed the phone to him.
Qi Xiaoyu maintained a semi-lying posture, enduring the pain all over his body, unlocking the phone with one hand, and checking missed calls and unread messages.
He hadn’t finished reading the messages congratulating him on his award last time, and this time there were many new messages that showed concern for him and asked about his injury.
He flipped through them for a long time before he finished reading them all.
Just like last time, there was still no news from Xun Qian or Butler Cheng.
Could it be that Xun Qian hasn’t woken up yet?
He controlled the phone with one hand and struggled to use his thumb to swipe out Xun Qian’s phone number, dialed it, and turned it off.
He glanced at the time on the screen again—8:30 pm on May 17th.
It turned out that it was not just a day after he fell off the horse, but the next night, which was equivalent to him being in a coma for a day and a half.
There was no news from Xun Qian for such a long time…
Qi Xiaoyu stared at the phone for a while, then remembered that he could call Song Yue.
Song Yue was in the Xun family’s private hospital, and the crew sent him to a public hospital closest to the film and television city.
Song Yue answered the phone and asked, “I heard that you were injured while filming.
How’s your injury now? I saw in the news that it was quite serious. Were you stepped on the shoulder by a horse? Do you want to be transferred to our hospital? I will help you contact a few good doctors to take a closer look to prevent post-injury…”
Qi Xiaoyu interrupted Song Yue and asked directly, “Thank you, Doctor Song, I’m fine for now. How about the third master? Has his fever subsided?”
Song Yue was stunned for a moment before answering, “It subsided yesterday, and he woke up, but yesterday morning… about the same time as you were injured, he was hurriedly discharged from the hospital.”
Qi Xiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat.
Then Song Yue asked again, “What’s wrong? Didn’t the third master come to see you?”
At this moment, a voice was heard outside the ward, and Qi Xiaoyu replied hurriedly, “Okay, I know; goodbye, Doctor Song.”
He poked his head out and saw a figure outside the ward door.
Li Kun also heard the voice, stood up, walked out, and said, “It should be Brother Yu; he just called me and said he would come to see you after he was done with work in the evening.”
Qi Xiaoyu’s hand that was holding the phone stopped in midair, and a trace of disappointment flashed through his heart.
Yu Xiaosheng brought in two insulated boxes.
Seeing Qi Xiaoyu wake up, he put them on the table, and a big smile immediately appeared on his face, “Xiaoyu, you finally woke up. How are you? Are you still in pain? I brought you some bone soup; drink more later.”
Qi Xiaoyu thanked Yu Xiaosheng, asked Li Kun to help pour out the bone soup, and drank more than half a bowl.
While concentrating, he chatted with Yu Xiaosheng intermittently for a while.
Yu Xiaosheng sat on a beige single sofa with his legs crossed, “I’m so tired these two days; there are reporters outside who want to interview you. What’s wrong with them? You’re being hospitalized, and they still wanted to add to the trouble.”
He also advised Qi Xiaoyu to have a good rest. “You have a lot of work during this period, and there is another movie to be released later. Take advantage of this month to have a good rest and recuperate; just treat it as a holiday for yourself.”
Qi Xiaoyu responded casually, but his mind was drifting to other places. If Xun Qian was discharged from the hospital, where is he now?
He…
Qi Xiaoyu quietly clenched his hands under the quilt.
After chatting for a while, Yu Xiaosheng saw that he was tired, so he stood up and said he was leaving. “Your fans are very worried about you. They have been asking me a lot in the past two days. When you can get out of bed in a few days, let Li Kun post a photo to comfort everyone.”
“Okay.”
“Then I’ll leave first. Don’t sit up; lie down and sleep quickly. It’s uncomfortable sitting like this, and you shouldn’t play with your phone either.”
Then he said to Li Kun, “Put away his phone quickly and watch him sleep.”
Li Kun went to see Yu Xiaosheng out.
When he came back, he heard Qi Xiaoyu, who was half lying on the bed, ask, “Who has come to see me these two days?”
Li Kun immediately counted on his fingers, “You have good relationships with people. Almost all the people you have worked with came, and those who didn’t come also sent gifts… People from the crew, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Jiang, and Miss Xue have all come to see you, and…”
Li Kun mentioned a lot of people, but in the end, there was no Xun Qian or anyone from the Xun family.
Li Kun probably realized something was wrong at the end and tried to smooth things over, “The situation has been too chaotic these two days, and there may be other people who came, but I didn’t notice… Brother Yu also said just now that there are too many reporters downstairs, and ordinary people can’t get in even if they want to…”
Li Kun stopped before he finished speaking. Xun Qian didn’t look like an ordinary person, so how could there be a place he couldn’t get in?
Qi Xiaoyu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering all his emotions. “Okay, try to remember everyone who came to see me. I’ll thank them later.”
“Okay, okay… Go to sleep; I’ll charge your phone for you.”
****
Qi Xiaoyu stayed in the hospital for the fifth day when Kang Qitao came to visit him, holding a bouquet of flowers, a box of fruits, and a dyed paper bag.
He gave the flowers and fruits to Li Kun, took the paper bag to the bed, and handed it to Qi Xiaoyu, with a gloomy face and an angry look, “You’re still thinking about this record when you’re already in this state. Except for taking good care of your injury, you shouldn’t think about anything else.”
Qi Xiaoyu rested for five days. Although his left hand still couldn’t move, at least the minor injuries in other parts had recovered, and his upper body could move.
He took the paper bag with his right hand and looked inside. Kang Qitao packed the record in a gift box, as he asked.
Kang Qitao watched Qi Xiaoyu’s actions. Li Kun happened to go out to buy food, so he thought about it and lowered his voice, “Xiaoyu, I heard that the Xun family has been very unstable these days. You should stay in the hospital, don’t go anywhere, and don’t get involved.”
Qi Xiaoyu smiled slightly and thanked Kang Qitao for his kindness.
During these five days, in addition to Kang Qitao, other people came to visit him one after another.
Jiang Sicheng even came two or three times and stayed for most of the day each time, “It seems that you still have to film and record programs with me in the future. You see, something happened to you when I wasn’t around.”
Yang Wei brought the crew to see him.
There were so many people in the crew that the ward was full.
Seeing him lying on the bed, Yang Wei said many comforting words with a heavy face, asking him to rest assured and recover.
Others also came up to comfort him and shared some interesting things with him.
A group of people stayed with him for most of the day before leaving.
The room was filled with laughter.
When they left, they came forward one by one to say goodbye.
Finally, it was Tang Yuning’s turn.
Tang Yuning had been sitting on the sofa in the distance and had not said much.
Now, he stood by the bed with a faint smile on his lips. He looked at Qi Xiaoyu and said softly in a low voice, “We have been here for so long; have we disturbed you? In fact, it would be better if there were fewer people and less noise, and it would be easier for you to recover.”
Qi Xiaoyu looked up at him quietly.
Tang Yuning was smiling mockingly.
Qi Xiaoyu glanced at the crowd walking out and said lightly, “I like both quietness and bustle.”
Tang Yuning continued to smile, “Really? This kind of mentality is good for the body.”
Before he finished speaking, the other members of the crew turned around and asked Tang Yuning, “Yuning, are you leaving?”
In addition, several actors who were not too familiar with him also sent gifts of condolence, including his fan club. They sent him a lot of gifts to strengthen his muscles and bones.
The incident of him falling off a horse on the set caused quite a stir.
He is now very popular and has a high degree of discussion. He was injured while on duty and has been trending on Weibo for two whole days.
From his fall injury to being taken to the hospital and then to completing the surgery, he was watched by everyone throughout the entire process.
All major news outlets also pushed relevant information.
But even if everyone in the city knew, Xun Qian never showed up; even Butler Cheng and Mama Li didn’t come.
Qi Xiaoyu kept silent and stopped calling Xun Qian.
Until May 22.
Qi Xiaoyu was going to go back and see for himself. After all, it was Xun Qian’s birthday, and he had promised to celebrate his birthday with him.
Doctor Fang was very dedicated. He carefully examined him and advised him not to go out.
After persuading him for a long time, he reluctantly allowed him to go, and told him not to touch his shoulders.
No matter what Xun Qian is thinking or whether he can reach him, he wants to spend this birthday with Xun Qian.
