Online dating is also OK
After resting for a few days, Lu Xinyang finally started working again.
"That's great," Ji Rongyu said while sitting in the living room, drying his hair. "Will Tang Lin pick you up tomorrow morning? Have you agreed with him?"
The day Lu Xinyang came back, he drove away Tang Lin's car as well. After settling down in Ji Rongyu's house, he never touched the car again except for once when he went to get his luggage.
Now that he has returned to work and has to travel around again, Tang Lin naturally follows him to continue working as his assistant and driver, earning double salary.
"Well, as I said, the activities for these few days have been arranged. We are going to Qingxia, Baishi, and Gangjiang, three places in two days." Lu Xinyang felt tired just counting the place names. He sat cross-legged on the sofa, and listlessly moved to Ji Rongyu. He put his arms around his boyfriend's shoulders, kissed his eyebrows a few times, and when he wanted to kiss his nose, Ji Rongyu pushed him away.
Ji Rongyu put the half-wet towel on Lu Xinyang's thigh, opened the computer to check the tickets and asked him to get on with the business.
Lu Xinyang continued, "Anyway, there was a video interview, and the director took us along. After that, there were two more variety show guest appearances, and we, the main actors, went on our own."
He was already feeling sleepy late at night, and as he spoke, his eyes became a little straight. He leaned his head over and kissed the bridge of his nose and cheek that he hadn't kissed just now. Finally, he bit Ji Rongyu's mouth before continuing, "Let me think of something else... Oh, live broadcast. If the TV series is good, we can shoot some small commercials."
After saying that, Lu Xinyang suddenly said, "Don't go. It's too busy. There are so many people, and you meet different people every day."
His fingers scraped down Ji Rongyu's smooth nose: "If you go, you will definitely have to wear glasses all the time. What if you put a dent on your nose? I can't afford to pay for it."
Ji Rongyu paused and grabbed his mischievous fingers: "I didn't say I wanted to go with you."
"Hehe, then I guessed wrong." Lu Xinyang smiled, his arm resting on Ji Rongyu's waist on the sofa. He leaned over and wanted to continue kissing his boyfriend, but was pushed away by his boyfriend.
Fortunately, he didn't succeed, because the next second Ji Guanghui opened the door and came out of the room, almost scaring Ji Rongyu to sweat.
Lu Xinyang also threw himself on the sofa with a guilty conscience, but he still nudged Ji Rongyu's leg with his knee, and at the same time he grabbed his arm and kissed him on the elbow.
"Oh, I don't want to go on a business trip. Lao Qun even sent me photos to tempt me, asking me to go swimming. I'm so annoyed by him," Lu Xinyang said, "Do you want to go swimming? Oh, the weather is not hot enough, so you may not want to go."
"But if you want to go, we can go together. If you don't want to go, we can just watch TV at home. I just found out that Wen Zhuo and Yu Han have worked together before. They had a drama that was filmed on location on the prairie for half a year. It's really good. I'll come back next time I have a holiday and watch it with you."
Ji Rongyu said: "Lao Qun? It seems that he was the one who asked you to go swimming last time."
"Well, actually, Lao Qun is a very nice person. I shouldn't bother him. When I was in college, Xu Ma brought me food every day. They were all super-sized dishes and soups, and there were also a lot of fruits, which were also washed. If Lao Qun hadn't been greedy and helped me eat a lot, it would have been wasted."
The topic unconsciously turned to the past. Lu Xinyang talked about his college, high school, and elementary school life in a long-winded manner. He had said some of the things before, and he said them again now. Ji Rongyu listened silently.
Lu Xinyang looked at his focused expression, and suddenly an impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to tell Ji Rongyu that after the promotion of "Trapped in Color" was finished, he would never film again and he wanted to change his career.
But before he could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of Ji Guanghui coming out of the bathroom and preparing to go back to her room, so he swallowed his words back.
Forget it. There are endless activities to do every day anyway, and a new one is often added to the schedule right after it is arranged. He doesn't dare to guarantee Ji Rongyu when his next vacation will be.
Lu Xinyang held Ji Rongyu's hand reluctantly, and their fingers were interlocked under the cover of the pillow. He thought, let's wait until all the work is completed... By then he will have the confidence to give all his promises and surprises to Ji Rongyu.
Early the next morning, Lu Xinyang got up early to catch the high-speed train. This time, it was Ji Rongyu's turn to lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep, pretending that he was not woken up.
As Lu Xinyang had expected, work in the entertainment industry was indeed unstable. After the Gangjiang event ended, several of the leading and supporting actors rushed to Nanzhou City, thousands of miles away, and their return home was naturally postponed.
During this period, in order to meet the needs of different activities and programs, Lu Xinyang frequently changed his look under the guidance of various makeup artists. Unfortunately, only he and a group of colleagues saw such a handsome look. After finishing work, he lay half paralyzed at home, and he returned to his wild and unrestrained life.
In order to facilitate styling in the future, Chang Xue had specifically told him not to cut his hair. Now every morning when he woke up, his hair was a mess and stuck out. Lu Xinyang suddenly realized this when he looked in the mirror after taking a shower, and then he became depressed.
Is this the wrong way around? Shouldn't I be showing my best side to my boyfriend? Why is he wearing short sleeves and shorts at home, with his hair growing out of his eyes? Where's his handsomeness? Where's his grace? Where's the charm that makes him so attractive to my boyfriend?
Lu Xinyang dejectedly hugged Ji Rongyu from behind: "If I become ugly in the future, will you still love me? Answer quickly, yes."
Ji Rongyu sneered, went out to buy a hair tie, and came back to tie his hair into an apple bun. Then he raised his phone to him and said, "Lu Xinyang, look here."
When Lu Xinyang heard his gentle call, he stuck to him as if he was hooked, and hugged Ji Rongyu intimately. Then, he turned his phone, pointed the camera at the clean and bright mirror, and took a photo of the two of them with a click.
Looking at Ji Rongyu in the photo, Lu Xinyang thought he was so cute. Then he looked at himself. Alas, he actually didn't like eating apples very much...
But what made Lu Xinyang even more depressed was yet to come. The crew suddenly informed everyone that there was a problem with the post-production of "Trapped in Color". The background special effects of a certain plot could not be done. There was not enough money and time, so they had to rush to the location to reshoot, which was expected to take a week.
"Ah! I'm going to faint!" Lu Xinyang closed his eyes in pain and threw his head back. Then he said, "You must be reluctant to leave me. I'll help you faint too."
Lu Xinyang reached out and covered the upper half of his face, so Ji Rongyu could not see anything. He only felt someone kissing him hard on the lips.
The warm hand covering his eyes moved, carefully stroking his soft skin for a moment, then slid down to cup his cheek and kiss him again.
"I can't bear to leave you..." Lu Xinyang said in a low voice, hugging his neck and whispering in his ear.
"Okay," Ji Rongyu pulled his hand down and kissed him proactively, "Go ahead. It will be hot when you come back. We can go swimming together then."
"Um."
Lu Xinyang calmed down and picked up his phone to call Tang Lin, asking him to book a flight as well. But the person on the other end of the line said, "No, I can't go. My aunt's family had some issues. She runs a B&B, and they asked me to go and help out temporarily. I was just about to ask you for leave."
Damn it, even the assistant ran away. Lu Xinyang packed his luggage, sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a long time, and finally said seriously: "I've decided, please write me a love letter."
Ji Rongyu said: "Ah?"
"I'm afraid our feelings will fade if we don't see each other for too long," Lu Xinyang said. "I think couples should write love letters to each other to express their deep feelings."
"Are you exposing my scars?" Ji Rongyu said. Although he was terrible at writing romances, and the protagonist's confession dialogue in his novels was still ridiculed by readers, he also had dignity!
Lu Xinyang puffed and fell back. "I really want a love letter from you... the kind that's only for me... won't you agree?"
"How old are you? You're still sending love letters. Didn't you collect any when you were in school?"
"No," Lu Xinyang said, "You can't just accept love letters. You have to wait until pink bubbles appear around them. I haven't seen any pink bubbles, so I pretended I didn't see those love letters."
Ji Rongyu pinched his face and said, "Then the love letter I wrote to you is still just a piece of paper, and there won't be any pink bubbles floating around."
"Of course not," Lu Xinyang said, pulling out a bubble gun from under his pillow, "I'm ready."
"...Then I'm not ready, okay? Just calm down," Ji Rongyu tugged at him again, "No, when did you buy the bubble gun?"
"It's a pity I didn't use it while we were taking a walk last night," Lu Xinyang regretfully pulled the trigger on the bubble gun, saying amidst the pink bubbles floating around the room, "Okay, then let's just keep dating online like this for now."
Lu Xinyang sat up as he spoke, pulled Ji Rongyu's hand down from his head, opened it wide, and then skillfully stuffed himself into his arms: "I really can't bear to leave you."
"Well," Ji Rongyu said, "I wasn't gone for a few days at all."
"How can it be just a few days? A week! Seven days!" Lu Xinyang protested, "Seven days is already very, very long!"
"How long?"
Lu Xinyang muttered softly, "I'll be lovesick for that long."
And it’s not just ordinary lovesickness, it’s a serious illness!
"By the way, do you have an extra computer?" Lu Xinyang thought that he would video chat with Ji Rongyu when he had time after arriving there. He thought the screen of his mobile phone was too small, so he asked Ji Rongyu for an unused tablet computer.
Ji Rongyu found the computer and gave it to him. He also asked to take one of Ji Rongyu's pillows so that he could hug her while sleeping after the video chat. This time Ji Rongyu did not agree.
But before leaving the next day, Lu Xinyang threw the packed clothes out of the suitcase, stuffed the pillow in and took it away.
He didn't feel hot and even put on another coat of Ji Rongyu's.
For most of the day after that, Ji Rongyu worked hard in his room. For the first time, he forgot to cook. It was not until his grandfather knocked on the door and called for help that he realized: "I forgot..."
He said in a rare moment of embarrassment, "There should be some leftovers in the refrigerator. I'll go heat some up."
"I gave the leftovers to Lao Ke to feed his dog in the morning, and the vegetables were thrown away," said Ji Guanghui.
The fresh meat and vegetables were all eaten. Although there were still some frozen instant foods, neither of them wanted to eat them. Ji Rongyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go buy some wontons outside."
"I don't want to eat the wontons downstairs either. The skin is too thin and it gets mushy when cooked. I like the ones at the red light intersection. They're bigger and have thicker skin."
"Then I still prefer to eat downstairs." Ji Rongyu said casually.
Ji Guanghui commented on him: "You old thing."
"How old are you and how old am I? You're calling me an old thing? Is that right?"
"You taste like an old man."
Ji Rongyu still felt guilty and didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head, changed his shoes and went out.
