Ji Xiunian didn't want to sleep, but he was a little tired after staying up all night and the excitement of his successful confession. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when he opened his eyes again.
The curtains in the room were drawn, and the light in the room looked a little dim.
He stared at the ceiling for a long time, and couldn't tell whether it was morning or dusk.
After a long nap, an indescribable feeling of loneliness surged in his heart, as if he was the only one between heaven and earth. Ji Xiunian subconsciously covered his chest with his hands, feeling a little stuffy, and couldn't tell what the feeling was.
Just when his mind was in a mess, Lu Xu's voice suddenly rang in the room: "Brother Nian, get up and eat something."
Ji Xiunian looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Xu holding a plate of fruit in his hand. In addition, there were three dishes on the table.
He had a smile on his face, as bright as usual.
Ji Xiunian looked at Lu Xu who was preparing dinner for him, and his heart was inexplicably warm. For the first time, he felt that the two of them were really in love.
He got up from the bed, walked straight behind Lu Xu, raised his hands to wrap around his waist, and hugged Lu Xu from behind.
There have always been fans on the Internet joking that Lu Xu's waist is a deadly curved knife. Now that he has wrapped around this knife, Ji Xiunian found that the fans are not exaggerating at all.
Lu Xu is a boy who looks thin and boyish, but when you really touch him, you will find that he is actually a healthy type with meat when he takes off his clothes. Ji Xiunian was impressed by Lu Xu's beautiful waist. He rested his chin on his shoulder, looked at the food on the table and asked softly, "Baby, did you make all this?"
The word "baby" made Lu Xu's scalp tingle. It was probably the first time that he heard Ji Xiunian call him by a nickname, so Lu Xu was a little uncomfortable.
But Ji Xiunian's tone was natural, and Lu Xu didn't feel affected by him, so he didn't think much about it, but shook his head honestly, "I ordered takeout for you."
If it weren't for the need to conceal his identity when walking in the world, Lu Xu didn't need to eat at all.
So naturally, food and cooking sounded nothing to do with him.
But even so, he remembered the dishes that Ji Xiunian liked to eat, and ordering takeout was also a kind of love.
Afraid that Ji Xiunian would think too much, Lu Xu turned around and said, "Actually, I want to cook for you, too, but I haven't been in the kitchen for so long that I don't know what it will look like. How about you give me some time and let me try first?"
It is a happy thing that the beloved agrees to cook for you. Ji Xiunian couldn't help but smile, but shook his head casually: "No, I'll do it. By the way, baby, do you have any favorite dishes?"
In Ji Xiunian's view, it is enough to have one person in the family who can cook. He didn't want Lu Xu to work hard, so he thought about doing it himself.
Speaking of which, it was Lu Xu who reminded him that as a new boyfriend, Lu Xu had already given him a romantic sunrise. But as a boyfriend, he hasn't given Lu Xu any decent gifts yet.
In fact, someone like Lu Xu no longer cares about money or fame, so it is difficult for him to choose a gift.
Ji Xiunian likes Lu Xu, and when he mentioned cooking, he suddenly became curious about whether he has any favorite dishes.
Even though he knew that he didn't need to eat, Ji Xiunian still couldn't help asking -
to put it bluntly, it was selfish, as if he treated Lu Xu as an ordinary person like himself, as if he could take care of Lu Xu.
After asking, Ji Xiunian felt that his question was a bit abrupt, but it was serious and vague, and still carried expectations.
Seeing Lu Xu fall into a brief silence, Ji Xiunian was planning to just ask casually, but then he heard Lu Xu chuckle and say, "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
"Huh?"
Ji Xiunian didn't react for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Lu Xu turned around and looked at him, tilting his head and smiling mischievously: "Brother Nian, didn't you ask me what I wanted to eat? I want to eat fried eggs with tomatoes. I haven't eaten it for a long time!"
"Oh, okay!" Seeing the light in Lu Xu's dark eyes, Ji Xiunian was inexplicably happy, "Ok, brother will arrange it for you!"
Obviously much younger than Lu Xu, but Ji Xiunian stubbornly said that he was the older brother, and always took care of Lu Xu as his younger brother, completely forgetting the age difference between the two.
He didn't want to mention age, so Lu Xu didn't say much. The two of them called each other "baby" and "Brother Nian", and they got along very harmoniously.
Ji Xiunian reluctantly let go of Lu Xu's waist, sat down and ate the food ordered by Lu Xu himself. Somehow, he imagined the plot of the movie "The Sweet Wife" in his mind, and felt happy and joyful.
In the past, every time he woke up from a nap, if he slept for too long, he would have a feeling of loneliness that was abandoned by the world and was difficult to get rid of. But this time was different. With Lu Xu here, all the pressure or loneliness collapsed in an instant and no longer had any effect on him.
Ji Xiunian wanted to laugh when he saw Lu Xu, and his ears turned red after his heart rate went up. Ji Xiunian
knew that he liked Lu Xu before, but he didn't expect that after confirming their relationship, he would still be attracted to each other, and even more moved than before.
Not wanting Lu Xu to see his little thoughts, Ji Xiunian lowered his eyes, thought of a topic and then looked up: "By the way, baby, what are you going to do about Yan Heze?"
"I went to see him when you fell asleep just now..." When it came to work, Lu Xu became more serious and then told Ji Xiunian what he had seen and heard in the studio.
"So, the current Yan Heze not only has not drawn the line, but also has the strength to take on the responsibility, right?" After getting Ji Xiunian's affirmative answer, Ji Xiunian couldn't help shaking his head, and he also had a guess in his heart, "I have had contact with him before because of recording a program. I believe you that he has improved, but it is almost impossible to catch up with his teammates in such a short time..."
Ji Xiunian had seen Yan Heze's stage performances before. It's not that he is biased, but it's really that Yan Heze's strength is not flattering.
The two exchanged glances while talking, and they thought almost the same thing in their hearts-
the current Yan Heze should be Zhou Jiayue, and what they have to do is to correct everything to the starting point.
While the two were talking, Lu Xu suddenly rang.
Glancing at Bai Ze's name on the screen, Lu Xu first glanced at Ji Xiunian subconsciously, then swiped to answer the call and pressed the hands-free key: "Hello, Mr. Bai, good evening."
Bai Ze knew from his casual tone that he probably knew nothing about what was going on outside, but he still asked again: "Did you see the hot searches?"
"Hey, what hot searches?" Lu Xu was a little confused when he heard this question, and couldn't help asking.
Ji Xiunian had the same reaction, and then took out his phone and opened Weibo, thinking that he was related to Lu Xu.
In the morning, because Lu Xu forwarded his "first day", netizens started discussing it for no apparent reason and at one point the names of the two people were on the hot search. However, due to some misunderstanding, it was finally understood as a promotion for a new drama.
Ji Xiunian initially thought that he did not want to cause trouble to Lu Xu, but now he wishes that everyone knew about their relationship.
It was only when he clicked on the hot search that he realized that the hot search that Bai Ze was talking about was really not the same as what he thought.
"Baby, look--"
Ji Xiunian handed the phone to Lu Xu so that he could see the screen clearly.
Lu Xu took a quick glance and saw that the photo of Chang'an City was on the hot search, followed by the topic #Lu Xu's Centennial Photo#.
When everyone had a dinner party in Chang'an City last night, they discovered that the person in the photo on the wall looked very similar to Lu Xu.
The photographer thought it was magical and took the photo out of basic professional ethics. It happened that
the program team was editing the behind-the-scenes footage to be broadcast, and Tang Yanqing thought this photo was topical so he put it up.
Sure enough, the video of Lu Xu's face resembling that of a man from a hundred years ago became a hot search soon after it was broadcast.
[@平安喜乐活下去: Is this photo really not a prank composite by the program team? They look too similar. I always feel that it is a program effect. ]
[@在线等富婆: Oh, it should be a program effect. How can there be two people who are exactly the same in the world, not to mention that there are more than a hundred years between them?]
[@可可爱好吃货: As a loyal fan of Chang'an City, I must say that this photo has always been there. Ever since I can remember, my dad took me to Chang'an City. Twenty years have passed in a flash, and I have also seen this photo for at least twenty years. What does twenty years mean? Lu Xu is only eighteen this year, how could it be fake? They just look alike! 】】
...
ID Cute Little Foodie is a well-known food streamer. What is different from other food streamers is that he eats in high-end restaurants, and a full meal costs at least five figures.
There is really no need for such a rich and willful food streamer to lie. In addition, other people came out to prove that this photo has always been there, so everyone believed that Lu Xu really looked like someone who lived a hundred years ago.
It is amazing to have a similar face to someone who has passed away. What is even more incredible is that more and more netizens have posted photos of their elders.
[@花花爱画画: That, my grandpa’s friend looks a lot like Xu Zai (picture)]
[@没有退退可言: Me, me, my grandma’s classmate also looks a lot like Lu Xu! (picture)]
[@2020什什时時候走: My dad’s friend also looks like Xu Zai (picture)]
…
There are many people who posted photos of their elders saying they look like Lu Xu, but there are only a very small number of them who really look alike, no more than five in total.
But these five look exactly like Lu Xu, and those who don’t know would think Lu Xu had traveled back in time.
"That's you, right?" After getting Lu Xu's affirmative answer, Bai Ze on the other end of the phone looked at the trending searches with mixed feelings. Seeing that the topics related to Lu Xu were getting more and more popular, he couldn't help but worry about him.
If Lu Xu was an ordinary human, this kind of topic would simply increase his popularity. The more incredible it is, the more gimmicky it is.
However, Lu Xu is the god of death, and the less people know about his inhuman identity, the better.
Bai Ze is Lu Xu's agent after all, and his first reaction was to make a phone call to confirm the truth, and he has even begun to arrange to suppress the trending searches.
"No need." Lu Xu simply glanced at the so-called identical photos, shrugged at Ji Xiunian beside him, and then said to Bai Ze, "It's so popular now. If we suppress it, it will be problematic. It's okay. No one will care about it after today."
Bai Ze was silent after hearing this, and he didn't think of doing anything afterwards.
Lu Xu was right. Netizens are now paying attention to the photo incident. Originally, I just thought it was a coincidence and magical. It would be strange if the hot search was really removed and suppressed.
"Okay, contact me anytime if you have anything. By the way, don't forget tomorrow's schedule..."
Bai Ze simply explained a few words, and just after hanging up the phone, he remembered that something was wrong -
when he was talking to Lu Xu on the phone, he seemed to vaguely hear someone calling him baby.
The name "baby" is too ambiguous, and it doesn't match Lu Xu's extremely arrogant personality, so I must have heard it wrong.
Bai Ze was still busy checking the trend of the Internet, and soon put this matter behind him.
"Are these all you?" Ji Xiunian was so familiar with Lu Xu that he quickly found Lu Xu's photos from those group photos that they said looked like him.
Lu Xu nodded, and there was no need to deny: "It's me."
Speaking of which, the god of death should have acted low-key to avoid leaving any handles that would arouse suspicion. At that time, the mission target wanted to take a group photo, and Lu Xu just thought that others could not see it.
He never thought that technology would develop so rapidly that everyone could be gathered into a world through the Internet without leaving home.
Seeing Lu Xu frowning slightly, Ji Xiunian couldn't help but comfort him: "No one will believe that it's you, it just looks like you."
After all, with such a long time span, normal people would think it was a coincidence.
"Of course." Lu Xu was not too worried, because no one knew it was him except in the photo.
The people who took photos with him later became his customers, and some of them didn't know how many times they had been reincarnated, so naturally they didn't have the opportunity to speak.
Because this topic was so popular, many of its celebrity fans also came out to show photos, saying that in fact their artists also look like ancient people from a hundred years ago or even longer.
For example, a popular female star looks like an empress from two hundred years ago, and another example is that a male artist looks like a general with military merits.
There is reincarnation in the world, some of which are coincidences, and some are really past lives and present lives.
Some netizens posted photos of themselves and strangers who were thousands of miles away, and there were naturally some cases where they looked exactly the same. I thought it was a magical thing, but it became nothing when there were so many people who had similar experiences.
With this understanding, when people looked at those photos again, they felt that they were different from Lu Xu himself, and few people took it to heart.
This incident was like an episode, and it was thrown away by everyone in an instant.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when Ji Xiunian joined the group.
