Chapter Ninety-Four

  The following days, according to a sentence from a certain forum that Lijin saw, are called both house and rotten.

  The doctor called rest, but in Li Yiheng's place it became isolated from the world. Li Jin was a born hard worker, even with a lame leg lying on the bed, he wanted to remotely control everything, his face pale as he asked Li Yiheng for his phone, planning to call Bei Fuming, Luo Fei and Qi Yichen one by one to instruct them. Unexpectedly, Li Yiheng who was usually easy-going, this time refused to cooperate violently, coldly sat beside him, covered him with a quilt, told him to take medicine and sleep, no matter how much Li Jin tried to reason with him, it was useless.

  "I'm Lu Fei's agent, can't I even say a few words to ease his tension?"

  "My name is Qin Yige. Tell him that you have to go on a sudden business trip to another place, the signal is not good and it's inconvenient to contact. Also, I've assigned another agent to temporarily take care of him, so you can rest assured."

  "What about his situation..."

  "I'll get Lin Xin to report to you every day."

  "So I...I can still look at newspapers and go online, right? You really want me to be cut off from the world?"

  Li Yiheng furrowed his brow, and five minutes later, a copy of the morning and evening editions of the local newspaper had arrived in Li Jin's hands.

  China Star Voice is arguably the hottest show of the year, and its final is also highly anticipated. Since the program team released the news that the final would introduce a "dream judge", or the fifth judge with decisive power, it has caused an uproar outside. This show brought music artist Shi Dongning, who was already highly regarded within the industry, to the forefront of the public eye, and also helped veteran singer Tan Xiaoxiao regain her popularity, selling out 300,000 copies of her album in a short period of time. It also led to a surge in writing fees for many music critics, including Ai Pu, with prices skyrocketing like the paper money of Luoyang.

  So who is the fifth judge with a loud voice and full of gimmicks has also become a hot topic for discussion on the streets.

  The media has always been bold and daring, in this matter they only have the role of stirring up the waves. For a time, all the well-known kings and queens in the circle were guessed one by one, Lei Jin looked at it with dizzy eyes, and also followed suit to guess the judges.

  Director Qin's thinking has always been unpredictable, and the media privately said that the gimmick of the fifth judge was released too late. They didn't know that this was purely because Director Qin didn't sleep well during his afternoon nap, and it was something he came up with on a whim during the meeting, full of bad taste. If he hadn't really asked someone to contact the fifth judge candidate later, everyone would have thought he was joking.

  Qin Duan initially proposed three candidates for judges that he had in mind, and secretly arranged for three groups of people to contact them separately, with confidentiality maintained even among his own team. Li Jin was responsible for contacting a respected music master in the circle, but the master was advanced in age and not interested in the games of young people, so he tactfully declined. The day after declining, Li Jin got into a car accident.

  So who was the judge, he didn't even know...

  No way - Lijin suddenly clenched the newspaper, squinting his eyes at Mr. Li beside him - not only did he have to be eloquent and rare, but also had to invite the other party, except for Qin's good friend in front of him, who else would be more suitable?

  "Don't look anymore," Li Yiheng coughed lightly, ignoring the man's gaze that had turned eighteen corners, as he pulled out the newspaper from his hand and gently wrapped him in his arms. "It's time to apply the medicine."

  Li Jin raised his head and saw a doctor standing in front of him with a tray of medicine, smiling sinisterly.

  He suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body.

  Such torture, Lin Jin had to come three times a day. It's said to be a doctor's ancestral prescription, the herbs were crushed and applied to the wound, wrapped with gauze for half an hour, three times a day. The dislocation would heal in three days. But the pain was too unbearable, it felt like being branded with hot iron back and forth.

  The first day Li Jin applied the medicine, he was in so much pain that he was drenched in sweat and could only tightly grasp Li Yi Heng's hand. From then on, every time he was in agony, Li Yi Heng's arm would firmly wrap around his waist, as if holding him tighter would make the pain go away.

  Taking advantage of the doctor's lowered head to fiddle with the ointment, Li Jin seized the opportunity to probe for information: "Li Yiheng, do you know that Xing Shengdai is going to invite a fifth judge?"

  Li Yiheng rarely pays attention to entertainment gossip, even when he was still with Ke Yuan, occasionally mentioning it to him would leave him bewildered. But now, he reacted quickly and replied: "I know."

  Got it! Lijin pressed on with her attack: "How did you know?"

  "It's written in the newspaper," Li Yiheng nodded his chin, "You stared at it for over ten minutes, if I don't look again I'll go blind?"

  Li Jin suddenly stopped talking, and decided to give up going around in circles with this person. He directly asked: "Li Yiheng, tell me the truth, is that fifth judge you?"

  At that moment, Li Jin clearly saw a hint of astonishment in Li Yi Heng's eyes.

  Then he smiled indulgently.

  "Daydreaming."

  Is this an admission or not?

  Li Jing was about to ask further when a sharp pain suddenly struck his memory.

  He couldn't ask anything else after that.

  Every time after applying the medicine, Li Jin would break out in a cold sweat and his consciousness would become blurry. Li Yi Heng was very responsible and didn't mind the smell, personally carrying him to the bathroom to take a bath. Li Jin's right ankle couldn't get wet, so it had to be held high above the bathtub, making it look very enticing. Although Li Yi Heng had been praised by Li Jin as a gentleman, he was still a normal and mature man with physiological needs, often getting aroused while washing him. Originally just wanting to steal a kiss, things eventually got out of control, and when they came back to their senses, their positions had changed countless times. Gentleman? That had been thrown away long ago.

  At night, after finishing exercise, the two of them slept embracing each other, hand in hand and foot to foot. Li Yiheng still remembered to wrap a towel around his injured ankle to keep it warm. When Li Jin was drowsy, he felt someone touching his hair, kissing his forehead, so he reached out to lift his head and asked the person to kiss him on the lips.

  He thought he was particularly strange, just as the person before had just made a gesture to kiss him, he couldn't wait to jump away like a rabbit, how could he now be so cooperative, even...

  Still enjoyed it a bit.

  Before falling asleep, he thought drowsily, "After one's hunger and cold are relieved, one thinks of sex." The ancients were indeed not deceiving me.

  These pig-like days have passed for three days, and the final is coming soon.
