    86: Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other

    Qiao Qiao opened her eyes and saw a bright white light. She squinted her eyes for a while to adjust to it, and then she slowly got rid of the dizzy feeling.

    She found that she was lying flat on a soft sofa, her face facing the ceiling carved with dark patterns. The source of the dazzling white light was the small crystal chandelier inlaid on the ceiling. The distance between the four corners of the ceiling was not too large, which meant that she was in a room of decent size.

    Qiao Qiao tried her best to sit up, but the effects of the medicine had not passed, and her hands and feet were so weak that she could not use much strength. She simply stopped doing useless efforts and turned her head to try to see the whole room clearly.

    What a… What a white room.

    She looked over bit by bit, but there was still nothing in her field of vision. Only the white walls cut out clear spaces, but there were no windows on the walls, so Qiao Qiao couldn’t use the sky to estimate how long she had been unconscious.

    This is troublesome…

    Qiao Qiao was at a loss when suddenly a string of piano sounds entered his ears.

    Like a snow-white epiphyllum suddenly blooming in the thick night, such a moving tone captured Qiao Qiao’s ears almost instantly.

    She realized that the sound came from another direction in the room, so she tried her best to turn her head to the other side. Fortunately, the sofa under Qiao Qiao did not have a high backrest to block her view, and her head was resting on the soft armrest. It was at a height that could bring the scenery in the other direction into view.

    A snow-white grand piano, and…a somewhat familiar figure from behind.

    The man has broad shoulders and a slim waist. He wears a white shirt without any decoration. The cuffs are neatly rolled up to the elbow. A slender hand is gently resting on the piano keys. The lingering sound seems to be lingering between the fingers. It is obvious that the short piece of piano music just now was written by him.

    Qiao Qiao sharply spotted the fluffy rabbit mask placed on the piano, and was stunned for a moment. She never expected that she would run into Mr. Rabbit, whom she had not seen for a long time.

    Mr. Rabbit’s back is to Qiao Qiao. Even without the mask, Qiao Qiao can’t see his face. This makes Qiao Qiao feel even more anxious. A riddle that you have guessed for a long time is nakedly placed in front of you. You only need to reach out to reveal it, but you don’t even have the strength to raise your hand. Isn’t this the most irritating thing?

    Here Qiao Qiao was rubbing up and down on the sofa like a dehydrated fish, and over there Mr. Rabbit put his other hand on the piano as if he was completely unaware. Qiao Qiao was so old that he didn’t even recognize the notes, but the moment he heard the sound of the piano, he was still fixed on the sofa as if he was hit by an electric current, unable to move.

    If the short piece of tune just now was an epiphyllum in the night, then this time it is a ten-mile sea of ​​flowers blooming under the full moon.

    The tone of the piano is clean and pure, but the deep part is euphemistic and moving. The soothing melody is as if someone is whispering in your ear. Even a person who knows nothing about music can easily read the deep love sandwiched in the beating notes that seems to be about to burst out.

    Qiao Qiao listened completely motionless. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his chest was tight because he was so focused on listening that he even forgot to breathe.

    The man at the piano sat still for a while before putting on the rabbit mask again. He turned around, slowly walked to the end of the sofa, and sat down next to Qiao Qiao’s calf.

    “You…” Qiao Qiao said hesitantly, “Did you bring me here just to make me listen to this piece of music?”

    The man nodded slightly, acknowledging it.

    “Huh…” Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt helpless, “You’re going to scare me.”

    I don’t know why, when facing Mr. Rabbit, Qiao Qiao subconsciously feels that he will not hurt himself, even if he uses this method to get himself. Perhaps the emotion contained in the piano music is so strong that it is worth a thousand words, making people subconsciously believe that a person with such a delicate mind must be very gentle.

    The man seemed a little ashamed. After hesitating for a moment, he took Qiao Qiao’s hand and wrote the word “quick” on her palm.

    “You mean… this is faster?”

    Mr. Rabbit lowered his head and the two ears on his mask drooped, as if he knew that this was not a good thing.

    The medicine finally wore off, and Qiao Qiao managed to stand up. Mr. Rabbit quickly supported Qiao Qiao. He got a big pillow from somewhere and carefully stuffed it behind Qiao Qiao’s back, fearing that Qiao Qiao’s hands and feet would go numb, and carefully rubbed Qiao Qiao’s arms.

    “It’s really nice, even though I don’t understand music…” Qiao Qiao looked at the piano, recalling the timbre that filled his cochlea just now, “I’ve never heard such a nice piece of music. Did you write it?”

    Mr. Rabbit nodded again.

    “Who is it… written to?”

    This time Mr. Rabbit didn’t respond. His eyes fell on Qiao Qiao’s smooth calf. Qiao Qiao was embarrassed and wanted to retract his leg, but the man reached out and held it.

    With the warm palms and thin calloused fingers, Qiao Qiao suddenly frowned. The familiar feeling followed her as if she had been touched by someone in this way before, but Qiao Qiao couldn’t remember it at all for a while.

    “Who are you anyway?”

    The man behind the mask didn’t seem to hear anything. He raised Qiao Qiao’s calf, lowered his head, and slowly pressed his face against it. Only when Qiao Qiao could feel the soft layer of fur on the mask, did Mr. Rabbit suddenly stop, restrainedly let go of his hand, and stepped back to a safe distance. It seemed that the action just now was something he couldn’t help but didn’t like.

    Qiao Qiao still had many questions to ask him, but he also guessed that the other party probably wouldn’t answer, so he simply closed his eyes and concentrated on waiting for his hands and feet to regain their flexibility.She felt the collapse next to her calf smoothing out again, and guessed that Mr. Rabbit had left.

    Soon, a soothing lullaby sounded in the room, and a light woody incense began to fill the air. It was almost impossible to stay awake in such a relaxing environment. Qiao Qiao felt that his consciousness was gradually sinking, and he didn’t know anything else.

    @@@

    Qiao Qiao was awakened by the ringtones of her mobile phone one after another. She woke up after a tremor. The mobile phone in her bag was vibrating crazily. Qiao Qiao didn’t pay attention to it. She looked around first and found that she was sitting on a chair in the grocery store where she first met Mr. Rabbit. The store was still colorfully decorated and still empty.

    The phone was still ringing persistently. Qiao Qiao answered it resignedly, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and walked out of the store.

    “Qiao Qiao!!!” Fang Tong’s voice was like a demonic sound, “If you don’t answer the phone, I’m going to call the police, do you know?! What have you been doing?”

    “I…I fell asleep in the coffee shop.” Qiao Qiao lied casually. For some reason, she didn’t want anyone to know the existence of Mr. Rabbit. “I’m sorry, you must have been waiting for a long time, right?”

    “It’s not that I’ve been waiting for a long time, I’m scared to death!” Fang Tong said with lingering fear, “Director Song assigned me to you but he told me to keep an eye on you. If anything goes wrong with you during this period, I might as well crash to death in front of the WAWA building.”

    After being together for a long time, Qiao Qiao has actually figured out Fang Tong’s temper. He is the kind of man with a motherly personality who wants to nag you 24 hours a day. There are advantages and disadvantages to having such an agent. The advantage is of course that you can leave everything to Fang Tong and let him take care of it. The disadvantage is that you have to be prepared to be talked about endlessly.

    “Isn’t everything okay now?” Qiao Qiao was afraid that Fang Tong wouldn’t be able to stop talking, so he quickly changed the subject, “By the way, did you go to Donghe to check? How about it?”

    “Uh…” Fang Tong paused, as if he didn’t know how to speak because this matter was beyond his understanding, “I was just about to tell you this… good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

    “…” Qiao Qiao took a deep breath, “Just tell me.”

    “No, no, these two things must be matched to be interesting. Let’s cooperate.”

    “Okay.” Qiao Qiao thought for a while, “When I eat minced pork and pepper, I always eat the pepper first, so I’ll hear the bad news first.”

    “The bad news is that the character of ‘Concubine No. 5’ has been deleted.” Fang Tong sighed, “I went to fight with Donghyuk’s screenwriter for a long time this afternoon, but I don’t know what happened to them, they just didn’t want to keep it.”

    This Qiao Qiao was mentally prepared, so he wasn’t too surprised. He just said lightly: “Forget it, that role is not mine anymore anyway. Even if I win it, it will be a wedding dress for someone else.”

    “That’s what I thought too, so I forgot about it.”

    “What about the good news?”

    “This is definitely great news.” Fang Tong said mysteriously, “Remember today, maybe this will be the turning point of your career. From now on, you will become famous and reach the pinnacle of your life.”

    “Fang Tong.” Qiao Qiao was helpless.

    “Okay, I won’t give in.” Fang Tong chuckled, “Let me tell you, Donghe’s crew decided to assign an undecided role to you, because the actor Liang has not made a decision before, so the candidate has not been decided yet.”

    Qiao Qiao’s scalp exploded when she heard the words ‘Best Actor Liang’. She suddenly had a bad feeling: “What kind of role is this?”

    “You should have heard that she is the concubine who is responsible for the only nude scene in the whole drama.” Fang Tong said proudly, “This is your strong point. How about it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?”

    Qiao Qiao asked with the last glimmer of hope: “You haven’t agreed yet, right? Don’t you have to ask the artist first for such big things?”

    “Which one of us is following which one?” Fang Tong said dissatisfied, “Qiao Qiao, I want to make you famous with all my heart. What if I don’t give it to you first and someone else takes it away? You might blame me for being slow to start!”

    The last glimmer of hope was ruthlessly dashed, and Qiao Qiao was heartbroken.

    “This role has at least six front-facing high-definition uncensored close-ups, a full-body shot of twelve minutes, and he can share the stage with Actor Liang! Do you know why we can’t decide on a candidate? The competition is too fierce! Not to mention the little beauties in the industry, I heard that there is a daughter of a high-ranking official who was crying and clamoring to be filmed, but was blocked by Donghyuk. Now that I can give it to you, it’s simply——”

    Fang Tong seemed a little short of words. He thought for a long time and couldn’t think of a good adjective. Finally, he concluded, “In short, you are just lucky!”

    Qiao Qiao was speechless.

    “By the way, don’t you know who cut your clothes? You must invite her to dinner later, hahahahahaha! And you must pretend to tell the news casually, she will be so angry!” Fang Tong’s laughter became more and more obscene, and he had obviously thought of some scene before he stopped after a long time, “Okay, okay, it’s getting dark. Stop wandering outside and come back quickly. I have to plan your career tonight! I’m going to be famous!”

    Fang Tong hung up the phone, Qiao Qiao looked at the phone in his hand and sighed.

    It’s a blessing, not a curse. It’s a curse that cannot be avoided.
