Rebirth
Jiang Li took a few days off from the milk tea shop to recuperate. The injury on his left arm has almost recovered, but Chen An still doesn't let him do anything. Chen An seems to treat him like a melon seed. He goes home on time after get off work to cook. In addition to three meals a day, he also makes soup every day. He almost vomits after drinking the soup.
As for him, he eats and sleeps every day. When he is bored, he watches TV and plays with melon seeds at home. He does nothing and thinks about nothing. He just acts like a little waste.
Jiang Li held a potato chip in his hand and deliberately shook it in front of the melon seeds. Sure enough, it stood up and followed the aroma. When it was about to succeed, he cruelly took back the potato chip, leaving the melon seeds standing there, confused.
The little guy seemed to have found a new path and climbed up his trouser legs. Its claws looked small and soft, and it hurt when it scratched people while crawling, leaving a strange feeling wherever it passed.
"Okay, okay, here you go." He finally gave the potato chips to it. Seeing it eating them so crunchy, he was in a good mood.
Jiang Li held his chin and watched attentively to see what it was trying to do.
Guazi had gained a lot of weight since being sent back. No one knew what Han Ming had fed him, but how could he have gotten so fat? He pinched the soft flesh on his body, picked it up, and weighed it. "It's very heavy." Man and mouse faced each other, and Jiang Li finally concluded, "You're so fat."
His phone vibrated in his pocket. He put the melon seeds on the ground and paused when he saw the caller ID. "Hello."
"Your voice has recovered well."
"Just tell me if you have something to say."
A chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "Jiang Li, I've done what I promised you. I'm calling to tell you that I'm leaving."
Jiang Li asked in confusion, "Leave? Where are you, a big star, going?"
Lin Ran looked at the suitcases of all sizes in the room and said, "I don't want to be a star anymore."
Judging from his cheerful tone, he must be following his inner decision.
From the time Lin Ran exposed some things through live broadcast to today when the floating island industry was completely wiped out, most people in the entertainment industry knew the truth, and naturally knew Lin Ran's past. He didn't mind others knowing his past. He thought about leaving the entertainment industry for a long time, and the only thing he couldn't bear to leave were his fans.
But he didn't want to be trapped in this industry that brought him disaster. After all, being an idol was not his original intention. If it weren't for Lin Ran's illness, he might not have chosen this path in his life.
Now that he has a choice, he wants to live a different life.
Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then asked, "So what are you going to do? What about your fans?"
"I'm planning to open a bookstore or an inn. I'll let them know the location once I'm done. We don't necessarily have to meet in the entertainment industry, which is full of mixed crowds."
Having said that, there was no reason for him to continue to persuade her. "Well, take care."
"You're the one who should take care of yourself. From what I know, your situation is much more complicated than mine." Lin Ran said, "Have you ever thought about what you would do if Chen An knew about your past?"
The action of stroking the melon seeds suddenly stopped. "What should I do? He won't know. Even if he knows, what will it matter? What impact will it have?"
His nonchalant attitude made Lin Ran unable to help but say more, "If you like him, your identities will be the biggest obstacle. I suggest you stop being a killer. Now that you've been admitted to the police academy, say goodbye to your past."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Just when Lin Ran thought he would stop talking, he heard the other party's almost angry words, "I don't like him, what are you talking about!"
Lin Ran was choked and speechless. It turned out that he hadn't discovered it yet.
He admitted defeat and said, "Okay, if you don't like it, then don't like it. It's none of my business anyway." After that, he hung up the phone.
Jiang Li was still answering the phone when the door opened the next second and he turned around in panic.
The two looked at each other, and Chen An asked worriedly, "What's wrong? You look scared?"
Jiang Li blinked guiltily and avoided her gaze, "It's okay." He turned around and continued to tease his hamster.
Seeing that he was fine, Chen An felt relieved and prepared to cook. The two of them walked into the kitchen one after the other. Jiang Li leaned against the door frame and watched him tie his apron and take off his uniform, revealing only a very thin white shirt underneath.
He tied his apron, rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, turned on the faucet and washed the vegetables. His movements were smooth and flowing, and suddenly an inappropriate word popped up in Jiang Li's mind - virtuous.
Nan Jiaxu used to joke with him that no one would dare to marry someone as difficult to approach as him. At that time, Jiang Li said proudly that it was not easy for him to find a girlfriend since he was rich and powerful. While chatting, he also declared that he wanted to find a gentle and virtuous woman like his mother.
He himself didn't even remember what he said casually, but Nan Jiaxu remembered it clearly. He never forgot to look for such a woman for him when he was hanging out in nightclubs.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this person might be right in front of him. From the first glance he gave in the scorching sun to the later self-exposure that allowed the other person to infiltrate his life, he and Chen An seemed to have tacitly agreed to each other.
However, from his perspective, he couldn't see the true emotion behind this tacit agreement. Was it sympathy or genuine love? If he truly loved Chen An, did Chen An love him? But how could they be together like this?
Wait! What is he thinking about?!
Lin Ran's brain is not good, so he is also broken? !
There was a cold feeling on Jiang Li's lips, and someone fed him a small tomato.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Chen An put the fruits he liked into a basket and stuffed the basket with the fruits into his hand. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
The small tomato in his mouth burst with juice as his teeth rubbed it, sour and a little sweet. Jiang Li shook his head, "No."
The person who took the fruit didn't intend to leave, "Brother."
"Hmm?" Chen An turned around and said, "I know where I want to go."
"where are you going?"
Their last meeting was in the terminal, around six in the afternoon. Lin Ran and Xun Muke stood in front of the huge glass window and looked at the sunset.
Xun Muke asked him this.
He said, “Let’s go to other cities.”
"What about Lin Ran?"
"I'll pick him up when I find a good place."
Xun Muke nodded and said nothing more.
The conversation in the hospital scared her. She almost thought that Lin Ran was going to have a mental breakdown and become a complete lunatic. In that case, there would be no point in her saving him.
The sun gradually set below the horizon, and when the afterglow faded, Lin Ran said, "Sister Xun, if I wasn't like him, would you still save me?"
He leaned slightly to the side, his eyes, usually filled with deep affection, now filled with loneliness. He remained silent for a long time, until the last bit of light outside the window reflected the tiny tears in his eyes, and then he turned his face away, "It doesn't matter anymore."
Xun Muke opened his mouth, but in the end, he only said, "Take care."
The terminal has witnessed as many reunions as it has parted ways. They came from two directions and left from two directions in the end.
Jiang Li couldn't sleep. After telling Chen An that he wanted to go to the amusement park, he suddenly felt a little regretful and now he was tossing and turning in bed.
Maybe for others, the amusement park is just a place for children to play and young people to date, but for him, it is more like a dream, with both good dreams and nightmares, but the nightmares last longer, and they lasted for eleven years.
In the kitchen, when Chen An was cutting vegetables and cooking for him, he suddenly wanted to know if this person could wake him up like he did when he was unconscious and take him out of this nightmare, so he blurted out that he wanted to go to the amusement park.
But what did Chen An's smile mean? Was he making fun of him?
Jiang Li couldn't figure it out, so he covered his face with the quilt in annoyance. He turned over and felt suffocated again.
Why would he ask Chen An to go to such a place? Now he regrets it so much!
Okay, I can’t sleep at all.
Jiang Li simply sat up, opened the door and went to the living room to pour a glass of water.
The water in the thermos was still hot, warm in his hands. He had never had the habit of drinking hot water before. Whether it was summer or winter, his water cup always had only cold water. But he had been drinking a lot recently, and it was all from the hands of the person behind the door.
He didn't turn on the light, letting the moonlight guide him. When he came to his senses, he had somehow walked to the door of the room. After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed the handle and pushed it gently, and the door opened.
The person on the bed had fallen asleep, but half of the curtains were not closed, and the moonlight pouring in fell entirely on that person.
Jiang Li moved his steps, following the light in a clumsy manner, then stopped and squatted naturally, staring at that face. He once said that Chen An's face was impeccable, with delicate features and deep eyes. If he were to debut, he would definitely be more popular than Lin Ran.
However, his silence would probably scare away a large number of fans. Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The moonlight blocked by him obscured half of Chen An's face in darkness. When he woke up that day, he saw the usually well-groomed man with a blue stubble on his face. His tired eyes, tired from days of waiting, told him constantly that this man was very worried about him. He admitted that he wanted to cry for a moment.
It was only for a moment, but even he found it incredible. He had always considered crying a sign of weakness, and his crying was often motivated by deception, but he also had times when he wanted to cry.
Perhaps only in this way would he want Chen An to help him resolve his emotional issues. He hoped to spend a complete day in the amusement park.
"Why aren't you sleeping? Are you staying up all night?"
Chen An suddenly opened his eyes, and the bedside lamp turned on with a click. Jiang Li squatted beside his bed like a puppy, blinking at him with wet eyes.
"Can't sleep?"
The puppy nodded.
The puppy heard the other person sigh, then make some space and pat the bed, and he really accepted the call, took off his shoes and got on the bed like a puppy.
When he lay down in the bed and felt the body temperature of another person, his face began to feel hot, and he was so scared that he dared not move.
The other person covered him with the quilt, patted it with one free hand, and spoke like coaxing a child, "Once upon a time, there lived a family on the other side of the mountain..."
Jiang Li saw him pause for a long time and muttered, "Are you coaxing the child?"
Chen An said as a matter of course: "We are eleven years apart, it's just like coaxing a child."
Jiang Li was furious and stretched out his fingers to make a number four. "In four months, I will be an adult! Not a child anymore!" After that, he turned over and got out of bed. "I don't need your comfort! Goodbye!"
The door slammed shut, and I was here pouring out my true feelings, feeling so sad and heartbroken, while she slept soundly. She even said something about an eleven-year age difference! Is age a problem? Isn't age a problem?
Jiang Li was stunned, not daring to delve into the matter further. Angrily, he performed a set of military boxing at the door, treating the air as if it were a person, and then heaved a long sigh, "Sleep!"
