Chapter 152: Wrong sleeping position
Chapter 152 Wrong sleeping position
"I..." She leaned against the head of the bed, curling up her legs and hugging herself.
Li Lei sat down by the bed and asked warmly, "Have you had a nightmare?"
Xia Ling hesitated and nodded.
“What did you dream about?” he asked.
Xia Ling said nothing and hugged herself tighter.
An unsettled feeling lingered in Li Lei's heart, just like he had encountered it several times before. At certain moments, he felt that she was very far away from him, so ethereal that it seemed that she would turn into an illusory bubble in the next second.
He didn't like this feeling very much.
However, he understood better that there were some things that he couldn't force. She didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force her.
Li Lei's eyes darkened where she couldn't see him. He reached out his hand and tentatively took her into his arms. The body in his arms was very petite, like a bird with slender bones. It struggled uneasily for a while and then gradually calmed down. He patted her thin back repeatedly and combed her somewhat messy long hair with warm fingers.
“Xiao Ling,” he gently kissed the top of her head and said, “I am here.”
Xia Ling pressed her cheek against his chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat through a layer of cotton T-shirt. His long breath gently brushed the tips of her hair, and his embrace was like a safe and reliable mountain.
Those chaotic and terrifying fragments of memory, I don’t know when they will fade away.
She raised her head slightly and asked him: "Will you always be here?"
Li Lei smiled: "Of course. Xiao Ling, go to sleep, I'll stay with you." He hugged her and moved to the side, leaning his broad back against the head of the bed, and pulled up the soft and fluffy duvet to cover her. A little cold on the body.
The warm and comfortable feeling made her slowly close her eyes. She leaned against Li Lei and fell asleep quickly.
This time, there are no nightmares.
Li Lei held her in one hand and picked up his phone with the other to send a text message: Check what happened in the afternoon on the set of "War", especially what Ms. Ye did and who she met.
She was secretly followed by bodyguards, who responded quickly to the message.
Li Lei pursed his lips and read it, falling into deep thought.
The next day, Xia Ling woke up and found that she was still lying in Li Lei's arms, and the man was hugging her securely while half leaning on the head of the bed and sleeping. The sunlight shines through the engraved curtains and shines on his handsome face, which looks like a **** from myths and legends. There was light and shadow between his brows and eyes, a hint of gold, which made people unconsciously fascinated.
Xia Ling thought, he is so good-looking, better than anything she has ever seen...
No.
Unexpectedly, another man's extremely handsome figure flashed in his mind, silent and majestic, like a demon walking out of the abyss. She shuddered, and all her charming fantasies dissipated.
She stood up from Li Lei's arms, feeling a little guilty. She was held by him all night last night, and he half-sat in this most uncomfortable position, spending the whole night at the head of her bed. She pulled up the duvet that still contained her own body heat and covered him gently. She thought about whether to lay him down flat, but after dragging it for a few times, it didn't move.
This man doesn’t look fat at all, why is he so heavy?
Xia Ling was discouraged and just wanted to find some pillows to make him more comfortable. Then he slowly opened his eyes.
A little confused: "Xiao Ling?"
Xia Ling looked at him for half a second: "Are you awake?"
"Um."
“When you wake up, lie down on your back. If your sleeping position is wrong, go to sleep again.” Li Lei: “…”
"It doesn't matter, I slept very well last night." He saw her hidden concern and guilt, and smiled warmly, "how are you doing? Are you feeling better? Filming is a strenuous job."
Xia Ling nodded, "Last night...thank you." If he hadn't held her, she would have been unable to sleep all night, and today's filming schedule would have been delayed by her. Therefore, his arrival yesterday was really timely. But…
“Why are you here?” She forgot to ask last night.
"Visiting the class." Li Lei said matter-of-factly, "I miss you." In fact, he received news from the bodyguard that Mr. Gu was here with Gu Lin. He was worried, so he immediately followed him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu didn't do anything to her, but she showed some signs of mental instability.
What stimulation did she receive?
Li Lei recalled Dr. Jie Miao’s previous diagnosis of her: She had experienced a lot of devastating trauma, such as death threats, imprisonment, rape, and violence...
So much so that when faced with a similar situation again, you will have an overreaction.
Li Lei didn't dare to think deeply about what had happened to her. It was too terrible. Just imagining her suffering made him feel so distressed that he couldn't bear it. However, the only thing that can be determined is that her resume was seamlessly falsified. "Ye Xingling's" life was too ordinary and smooth, and there were no terrible setbacks at all.
He was worried, but on the surface he seemed calm and joked with her.
Xia Ling had no doubt that she had it, so she had breakfast with Li Lei, told him not to run around in the room, and then went to the set with the large team. Maybe it was because of a night's rest, but everyone seemed to be in good spirits, and the shooting went a lot smoother. Except for a few minor NGs, everything else was done in one go. By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the final scene had been shot.
Xia Ling's scene ends here, she goes to Jin Yifei to say goodbye.
Jin Yifei asked: "Back to the city now? The others finished the filming in just a few days. Aren't you going to stay and attend the closing banquet?"
Xia Ling was thinking about it, but there was a big BOSS hidden in the room. This place was no different than the audition scene. The big names, agents, and the high-end staff here all had poisonous eyes. What if Li Lei was accidentally killed? Recognition exposed their relationship, then who should she cry to.
Must go, go decisively.
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Jin Yifei no longer wanted to stay, he said take care and said goodbye.
Xia Ling took Li Lei's car back to her apartment in City S.
In the following days, she was extremely busy. Because the Gu family asked her to endorse Star Wings again, all the announcement plans were disrupted. Sister Maina confirmed and reorganized with her one by one, and the schedule was intensive. I have learned so much that I wish I could use one day as 48 hours.
Li Lei, on the other hand, went to see a person calmly.
The last day of the filming of "War".
Everyone has gone to attend the closing banquet. The once bustling palace scenery has been dismantled to pieces. The empty corridors, main halls and dragon seats look particularly desolate at dusk.
Old man Bao was still standing in the shadow of the screen wall in front of the hall.
Li Lei stood opposite him: "Who are you?"
"A pipe fitting." Old Man Bao's voice was as rough as ever.
"Oh, really?" Li Lei laughed softly and took two steps forward, "But as far as I know, you have another name - Wang Jingzhou, the former head of the Wang Group, Pei Ziheng's accurate Father-in-law."
