The hover car was moving fast on the empty road at night, Ling Cen was always paying attention to Lu Xiao's state.
"How do you feel? Do you want to slow down?" Ling Cen asked nervously.
Lu Xiao's complexion was as usual, Ling Cen had been away for more than a month, and he didn't know the situation: "It's okay."
Ling Cen carefully examined Lu Xiao's expression, then slowly relaxed and said softly, "Yes."
Lu Xiao's condition was stable, so he picked up the matter of going back to the second orbital star to film movies that had been left behind.
"I really don't want to go back. I want to accompany you to recover at home." Although Lu Xiao's condition has improved, he still needs to be accompanied and taken care of. Every time he goes out, it takes several months to come back, so he cannot stay in the Lu residence.
Ling Cen gripped Lu Xiao's hand on the rear armrest and complained.
Lu Xiao frowned: "Since you like your job, then you should try your best to do it well. It's not advisable to give up halfway or not to concentrate."
Ling Cen was dumbfounded, and said, "But I don't trust you."
"You don't have to worry." Lu Xiao felt that he was too harsh just now, so he slowed down his voice to comfort him.
"Yes." Ling Cen didn't look unhappy either. He only held Lu Xiao's hand and stopped talking.
It will take at least one more month for his movie to finish filming his part, if all goes well. After all, the consolation of terminal video communication is not as good as that of a lover by his side. Ling Cen was a little bit reluctant to part with the warmth of Lu Xiao's palm.
"You go back this time... don't ask for leave at will." Lu Xiao said in a deep voice, trying to soften his voice: "This is not good for your work."
"Well, I know." Ling Cen nodded with a smile, his words were harsh but it was Lu Xiao's kindness. He has been in the entertainment industry for longer than Lu Xiao imagined, including the three years in his previous life, he has already realized this.
But Lu Xiao told him that he was still willing to correct his posture.
After Lu Xiao finished speaking, he was relieved to see that there was still a smile on the corner of Ling Cen's lips. No matter what occupation it was, there was one thing in common, and that was dedication. Career will only pay off if you respect your own career.
When Ling Cen was young, he put aside the film crew and went back to Emperor Star to accompany him. He was certainly happy as a lover, but he had to make this matter clear to Ling Cen. His career was on the rise, and a 'dedicated' attitude would help him avoid career setbacks. ,to avoid detours.
Ling Cen changed the subject with a smile and said softly, "I'm not at home. Don't overwork yourself when you are at home. You still have to drink the stew. I've already replaced the recipe with a new one for Aunt Chen."
"She will stew it for you." Ling Cen Xu said.
Lu Xiao remembered what happened before his afternoon nap, and coughed in embarrassment. Just now, his image of "educating" Ling Cen collapsed, but he never dared to drink the tonic soup that Ling Cen arranged for him.
Ling Cen already had a clear mind, and after marriage, he paid close attention to Lu Xiao all the time. Ling Cen could guess more than half of what his micro-movements represented after a long time.
I couldn't help but smile, turned on the conference conversation mode to isolate the sound from the front row, took Lu Xiao's hand and said softly, "Just drink the soup on time, and leave the rest to me."
What do I entrust to you? Lu Xiao looked at Ling Cen in puzzlement.
Ling Cen also blushed a little. Even if he was 'open', talking about this kind of thing outside was completely different from two people talking in bed.
Ling Cen held back his shyness and said in a low voice: "I will make a video call with you, when the time comes..."
Lu Xiao understood what he had said, and was instantly more embarrassed than Ling Cen, speechless. The suspension car suddenly became quiet.
Ling Cen took a few minutes to adjust his emotions. When he saw that Lu Xiao was more reactive than him and was still in a state of aphasia, his shame compared with Lu Xiao disappeared, and he said with a smile: "This is what I did as What your wife should do, I am a good wife, and I will never refuse my obligations just because I am not by your side."
Ling Cen winked slyly at Lu Xiao as he spoke.
"..." Lu Xiao was speechless. How did Ling Cen speak so boldly?
Ling Cen suppressed his smile, and said seriously in a low voice: "As long as you recover, and provided these things don't hurt your energy, I'm more than happy to accompany you."
Lu Xiao caressed the back of Ling Cen's hand with his thumb, lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
The hover car stopped at the space port, and Lu Xiao wanted to get off to see him off, but Ling Cen refused, "Di Xing Liang Ye Luzhong, don't get off the car. I'll be right back after filming."
Lu Xiao couldn't resist Ling Cen, so he had to watch him put on the simulator and get off the car.
After getting out of the car, Ling Cen remembered something, turned to Lu Xiao's side, knocked on the car window with his index knuckles, and signaled Lu Xiao to put it down.
Lu Xiao put down the car window as he wanted, and Ling Cen smiled and leaned over to kiss Lu Xiao's side face, and said softly, "Remember to drink the soup."
These words were like a secret signal between the two of them. Lu Xiao nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Slow down on the road."
Ling Cen gave Lu Xiao a worried look, then turned and left. He was lucky to have Lu Xiao behind him to support his career. He didn't want to and couldn't live up to Lu Xiao's trust.
He must come up with results. Ling Cen secretly set a deadline for himself, and Karl was already waiting for him in the spaceship parked at the space port.
"Ma'am." Karl watched Ling Cen walk in from the cockpit, and hurriedly stood up to say hello to him.
"Carl, I'm sorry to trouble you." Ling Cen thanked, "I will also trouble you to send me back to the second orbital star tonight."
Carl shook his head and said heartily: "It's okay, madam, you can go and rest. We will be there in the morning."
"Yes." Ling Cen nodded, and went to the bedroom to rest. It was the same bedroom as when he came, but the mood at this time was very different from yesterday.
He could feel that Lu Xiao's body was gradually recovering and he was also accepting him. They were no different from a normal couple.
The only luggage Ling Cen brought was their space quilt, which was covered with a soft quilt as if Lu Xiao was right next to his pillow.
Ling Cen was intoxicated by this trance illusion. The bedside light came on, Interstellar Jump started, and a headache came along. Ling Cen endured the slight pain, couldn't sleep, and comfortably sketched their future in the dark.
The second orbital star, Hai Li, yawned early in the morning and waited at the space station.
"No need, my assistant is waiting for me." Ling Cen rejected Carl's offer to accompany him.
Carl nodded: "Okay, ma'am."
"Are you going back to Emperor Star?" Ling Cen asked with a smile.
"Let's not go back, I have a short vacation, maybe two days in the second orbital star."
"Okay, there are a lot of interesting places here. My assistant Hailey loves to travel. She has made a travel planner. I will give you her terminal number. You may ask her to send memos to You have one."
"Thank you." Karl finished the connection with him in surprise.
Ling Cen and Carl chatted for a few more words before leaving the spaceship's berthing port to find Haili with the new suitcase.
Hai Li was browsing the entertainment news boredly. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a young man with a similar gait to Ling Cen walking towards her, and hurriedly put away the terminal.
"Hayley."
"Brother Ling, you're back so soon." Hai Li hurriedly took the small suitcase from Ling Cen's hand. Lead Ling Cen to the place where she parked her car.
"Well, I'll be back when I've dealt with it." Ling Cen smiled and chatted slowly with Haili: "Besides, I took a day off with the director. Of course I'm coming back now."
Haili unlocked the suspension car and was in awe of Ling Cen's punctuality. Once the coffee seat arrives, if she is still as dedicated as before when she was unknown, she will feel a little strange: "Okay, then let's go back to the hotel to catch up on sleep or go to the hotel for a while." The set?"
Haili got in the car and asked Ling Cen in the rearview mirror.
"Go to the set, isn't there my role in the morning?" Ling Cen took off the simulator and asked in confusion.
"Yes, but the first scene is after nine o'clock. Director Caleb deliberately arranged for you to come back and take a rest."
Ling Cen checked the terminal time. Carl saw that he had an uncomfortable reaction to the interstellar jump. He had switched to manual driving on the road. Now it seems that his manual driving skills are pretty good... a little earlier than the estimated arrival time.
"Let's go to the studio. I won't be able to sleep even if I go to the hotel." Ling Cen pondered. His script recorded a lot of hints from Director Caleb, and he wanted to read it again before starting filming.
"Okay." Hai Li replied.
Ling Cen's torture in filming this pregnancy scene was more than all the films he had made before combined.
In the past, he only had to obey the company's instructions and be responsible for the 'beauty'. He didn't care about acting skills or scenes. Anyway, his fans would buy whatever he made.
But the situation is different now. Ling Cen is almost filming with an attitude of cherishing his share of every scene.
In the afternoon, when Director Caleb announced that he had completed today's scene, Hai Li almost burst into tears.
"Brother Ling, we not only have a film contract for "Thousands of Miles Away", we also have other films to make, let's talk to Director Caleb." Cen poured a glass of water, and did not dare to look at Ling Cen.
This director is too much trouble. Brother Ling has only been back for a day, and it's like this...
Ling Cen took the water and just took a sip before turning over and bowing his head to retch.
At the beginning, I couldn't find the feeling when I took pictures. After taking too many pictures, it was really like eating...vomiting something, and I couldn't even drink water. Ling Cen suspected that he had hurt his epiglottis, gastroesophageal reflux.
Hai Li quickly took the water, patted Ling Cen on the back, and asked about the situation repeatedly.
Ling Cen had to comfort Hai Li when he was embarrassed and retched. After a while, the situation improved, and Ling Cen lay back on the recliner to rest.
Hai Li let out a long breath, and the tense strings in her mind relaxed before she dared to collapse. Now she really started to cry.
"It's okay, Haili, I'm fine." Seeing that Haili's tears were about to burst into tears, Ling Cen quickly coaxed her with a hoarse voice.
Hai Li was also taken aback when she saw Ling Cen anxiously comforting her, and then realized that there was a wet mark on her face. Wiping it with his backhand, he tilted his head slightly to hold back the tears.
Ling Cen calmed down.
"Brother Ling, is it worth it?" Hai Li couldn't help asking him, her voice still had the sound of crying just now.
Ling Cen stared blankly at the distance, looked sideways at Hai Li and said with a hoarse voice, "It's worth it." After filming a day's worth of scenes, his voice had already collapsed for the most part, and it felt very abrasive.
"Okay, then let's continue." Haili quickly regained her emotions, and said firmly with the same stubbornness as her brother who refused to admit defeat.
Ling Cen nodded with a smile, closed his eyes to rest his mind, and just felt sleepy when he was woken up by the noise outside.
"What's going on outside?" Ling Cen asked impatiently with a headache.
Hai Li stopped the memo she was making, walked to the door and looked around. He came back excitedly and reported: "Quick, brother Ling is up to watch the show!"
"What's wrong?" Ling Cen asked as he turned over and lay on his side.
"Comrade Corleone's childhood sweetheart Beta's boyfriend bumped into the director's son, and all three of them were there." Hayley said quickly with a gossip.
Ling Cen's sleep was disturbed and he had to sit up. He was also a little curious about what Corleone's lover was like. In his previous life, Corleone had always been close to his lover. From poverty to wealth, the relationship between the two remained the same. It is a good story in the entertainment industry.
"Go and turn on the lighting mode." Ling Cen directed.
Haili immediately went to the corner and opened the iridium panel facing the "battle situation" and switched to lighting mode. The outside world could not see their indoor situation, but they could look out as if they were sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows through a layer of glass. He also opened the two windows over there.
Ling Cen pulled two chairs over, and sat side by side with Hai Li, and the two melon-eaters stared at the situation.
Brother Corleone obviously looked helpless, standing in the middle to block the two, but unabashedly protecting the person behind him. The person in front of him wanted to hit the person behind him several times angrily, but was easily stopped by Corleone.
"That's his boyfriend." Haili immediately affirmed, rubbing her hands excitedly. Unfortunately, they don't have melon seeds now. If I could watch this while coughing melon seeds and blowing the air-conditioning, it would be perfect. Haili felt a little regretful.
Ling Cen nodded in agreement. He didn't analyze like Hai Li, but because he knew the beautiful Omega director.
