After staying in bed for so long that he was satisfied, Jiang Dao finally got up and washed up. When I went downstairs to the gym, I found Chu Yinlong practicing boxing in front of the sandbag. Judging from his sweat-soaked vest, he should have arrived a long time ago and had been exercising for quite a while.
"Teacher Chu, good morning." Jiang Dao greeted him and walked forward to turn on the treadmill.
"Good morning." Chu Yinlong reached out to hold the sandbag, stopped practicing, turned his head to look at Jiang Dao, and finally smiled, "You look energetic, did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good." Jiang Dao smiled, "But you... worked hard last night."
Seeing Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, he asked again: "Didn't you say not to care about the comments online? How come you stayed up all night? You have dark circles under your eyes."
After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong said, "If it was me, I really wouldn't care. But this time they're targeting you, you... well, to the outside world you're an artist of my studio, and it's also related to the previous signing transfer, so we must pay attention to it."
"Oh." Jiang Dao nodded casually, and suddenly smiled, "Have you ever thought about what if I really want to cling to you?"
Hearing this, Chu Yinlong sneered: "If you really wanted to cling to me, you wouldn't have refused to make a movie before."
Jiang Dao deliberately lied: "I am not playing hard to get, playing the long game to catch the big fish... Look, I have already filmed a movie, and I am still tied to your studio. If there is a script, you will definitely come to me first. We have such a good relationship, and you even rented a house to me... No matter how you look at it, I am being kept by you, right?"
Chu Yinlong: ...
Jiang Dao continued to tease: "What a pity, your crime of 'hidden rule' has not been proven yet, and you are at a loss, Teacher Chu! How about I give you a chance to hide?"
Chu Yinlong was speechless, raised his hand and pinched his brow: "You really dare to say anything."
Jiangdao reached out to increase the speed of the treadmill and started running slowly.
After adjusting his breathing, he said, "In fact, I am here now because of luck. Apart from the people who work hard... I was able to record Taoyuan because you gave me the opportunity, and now... I am filming a movie here because you are the one who led me. Putting aside the malicious speculations and just looking at the results, they are not wrong. Without you, I would not have so many opportunities..."
After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong said, "But you didn't want these opportunities in the first place. Director Mu and I forced them on you."
Jiang Dao turned his head to look at him in surprise: "Why? If I really, huh... particularly resisted, then no matter what, I would not take the initiative to ask you to sign an agreement... I want freedom, but I don't really hate doing these things... Weighing the pros and cons, the current situation, huh... is actually pretty good."
Chu Yinlong's eyes fell on Jiang Dao's face and he looked at him for a long time.
Jiang Dao felt a little helpless when being stared at: "What are you doing... I really, huh... I'm not here because you guys forced me into a desperate situation... I'm an adult, I made my own decision, huh..."
Chu Yinlong was annoyed by Jiang Dao's panting: "Stop talking, adjust your breathing, and run well."
Jiang Dao ran a few steps and couldn't help but speak again: "Are you...blaming yourself because I was scolded?"
Chu Yinlong sighed: "Because I don't think you'll be scolded, I know you're not that fragile."
Jiang Dao: "Why is that...ah, because of my background?"
Chu Yinlong said nothing and tacitly agreed with this guess.
Once the identity of an illegitimate child is exposed, it will follow Jiangdao for the rest of his life and it will be a label that he will never be able to tear off. Even if Jiang Dao is not a public figure, this label will bring him a lot of criticism if it spreads in a smaller circle. What's more, Jiang Dao has now been pushed to the front, in front of countless netizens and audiences...
Even if I take revenge on Qin Xiao in the future, it will be of no use.
Chu Yinlong felt a little upset when he thought that he was the cause of the incident.
If, at the beginning, he had not taken the initiative and self-righteously brought Jiang Dao to Director Mu when he knew that Jiang Dao was unwilling to act, everything that happened last night probably would not have happened, and Jiang Dao's life experience would not have been revealed so nakedly and exposed to everyone's criticism.
Chu Yinlong knew that now that things had come to this, there was no use regretting and blaming himself.
But he still felt uncomfortable, and there was a vague sense of panic - if Jiang Dao blamed him, hated him, and alienated him, he didn't know what to do.
Jiang Dao suddenly stopped the treadmill.
"Teacher Chu," he smiled and approached Chu Yinlong, "Let's have a fight."
Chu Yinlong was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Jiang Dao smiled and said, "Aren't you blaming yourself? You think it was you who caused me to expose my background and be laughed at by others... Then let's have a fight. Let me beat you up to vent my anger, and then we can let this matter go. How do you think?"
Chu Yinlong pulled the corners of his mouth with complicated eyes.
Jiang Dao flexed his wrists and prepared himself: "Hey, don't let me win, fight seriously to show respect to me. If you beat me, I will forgive you; if you lose to me, let me beat you up to vent my anger, and then forgive you... Come on, hurry up, conflicts between men should be resolved with fists, sweat and blood!"
After listening to this nonsense, Chu Yinlong finally laughed helplessly.
Yes, it's really not like a man to keep complaining here, and the victim has to find ways to comfort him. He is really going backwards.
Criticizing himself in his heart, Chu Yinlong followed Jiang Dao onto the training mat, stretched his arms, and said with a smile: "Then I'm really here."
Jiang Dao stretched out a finger and made a provocative gesture.
Chu Yinlong narrowed his eyes dangerously and took the initiative to attack Jiang Dao.
In the first collision, the two men fought evenly.
Chu Yinlong is stronger, but Jiang Dao is more flexible. In addition, Jiang Dao has been training very effectively recently and will no longer be completely suppressed by Chu Yinlong's strength. The agile body skills he has practiced on the battlefield for many years can be fully utilized.
In the gym, there were sounds of flesh colliding.
It started with rounds of probing attacks, then turned into several consecutive quick exchanges, and finally, the two men tangled together and both fell on the soft mats in the gym, competing with each other.
However, when the battle reached a protracted stage, Jiang Dao's physical shortcomings were clearly exposed.
In the end, he was pressed to the ground by Chu Yinlong again as expected. He gasped and rolled his eyes silently.
Chu Yinlong pressed on Jiang Dao and didn't get up for a long time.
Jiang Dao said hoarsely: "Hey...if you don't get up, someone will see you and the gossip from yesterday will be confirmed..."
Looking at the boy's cheeks flushed red due to the intense exercise, Chu Yinlong's throat rolled, and he reached out his hand as if possessed, and used his fingertips to wipe away a drop of sweat near the corner of Jiang Dao's eye.
Jiang Dao's body shook slightly, and he turned to look at Chu Yinlong in surprise.
Chu Yinlong turned over and sat up, his arms resting on his knees, his eyelashes drooping, and no emotion could be seen on his face.
Jiang Dao didn't stand up.
He continued to lie there, his chin propped up by his arm, his face equally expressionless.
However, he was obviously not as calm as he appeared to be. In fact, he was already breaking down and going crazy.
What the hell, what’s wrong with this body? I just finished an intense exercise and the man wiped my sweat off my face, so why is he raising the flag again? Could it be that he hasn't had relief for too long and his body is about to rebel? !
Well, it should be a problem of the body acting on its own. After all, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, one is full of energy.
...Anyway, it’s impossible that he has feelings for Chu Yinlong.
Thinking randomly in his mind, Jiang Dao shifted his gaze to Chu Yinlong and saw beads of sweat on the other's exposed shoulders, neck and arms, reflecting the light, as if they were sprinkled with gold fragments. The sports vest was completely soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to Chu Yinlong's body, outlining the undulating lines of his muscles.
Somehow, Jiang Dao's mind popped up a scene that he saw in his childhood, which seemed to be engraved in his memory.
In the wasteland at the end of the world, there are no laws, and etiquette naturally does not exist.
Especially in places where idle refugees from the lower class gather, people act even more unscrupulously and don't care at all whether there are children watching them. Therefore, Jiang Dao had seen what a "male dog waist" was when he was very young, and what a shocking picture it could create when the waist moved...
Finished!
Can’t think about it!
Jiang Dao seemed to be scalded. He suddenly withdrew his gaze and dared not look at Chu Yinlong again.
If he keeps watching and thinking about it, he really won't be able to lower the flag!
Perhaps it was because the silence between the two of them lasted too long and it was a bit awkward, Chu Yinlong coughed lightly and stood up.
"After this fight, you've done enough exercise today." He picked up the towel thrown aside, "Let's go back and stretch and have a good rest."
Jiangdao lay on the ground and buried his face in his arms.
Chu Yinlong thought it was funny: "You really always lie on the ground after a fight? Get up quickly, your sweat has soaked the mat."
Jiang Dao said in a muffled voice: "No."
Chu Yinlong leaned over and pulled him: "Get up, stretch yourself, or your body will be sore tomorrow, how can you shoot the movie?"
Jiang Dao was playing dirty: "Hey, don't pull me, I won't get up if I don't!"
Seeing Jiang Dao like this, Chu Yinlong suddenly found it quite interesting.
So, he leaned over and grabbed Jiang Dao's waist, and said with a smile, "Do you really have to let me carry you back?"
"Hey, don't!" Jiang Dao curled up and turned his body to avoid Chu Yinlong's hand, with a helpless look on his face, "Don't make trouble, I... cough, I'll lower the flag and come back when I'm better."
You have to make a fuss, right?
Okay, as long as he is not embarrassed, then it is others who are embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dao was also curious about how Chu Yinlong felt embarrassed, so after saying this, he tilted his head and glanced at Chu Yinlong with a sly smile on his face.
Chu Yinlong withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
Then he walked out of the gym without saying a word, taking the towel with him and not even looking back.
Jiangdao: ...
Jiang Dao turned over and sat up, retrieved his phone from the side, and sent a message to Chu Yinlong: "Are you angry?"
After a while, the message from the other end came back: "No."
Jiang Dao: "Then why are you running?"
This time the other party didn't speak.
It was not until Jiang Dao returned to his room and took a shower that he received a reply from Chu Yinlong on his phone.
"Be careful what you say outside in the future. If you are too straightforward, people may misunderstand you as seducing, which may cause unnecessary trouble."
"Even if not everyone in this circle is like Li Cheng, it's best to be on guard."
Jiang Dao asked: "Did you misunderstand?"
Chu Yinlong: "What?"
Jiang Dao: "Do you think I'm seducing you?"
Chu Yinlong: "No."
Jiang Dao: "That's good. I wouldn't say this to anyone else, so I'll just be more unrestrained in front of you. The feelings that come out of a fight are definitely different from those of others."
In another room.
Chu Yinlong looked at the words on the screen, exhaled slowly, put the phone aside, and closed his eyes helplessly.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the burnt incense ashes on the table.
Then he opened his phone again, found the store where he bought the sandalwood, clicked on it, and gave a bad review:
"The effect of concentrating the mind and calming the spirit is too poor, it is not useful."
