Who wants you!
Time goes back seven hours.
After the crew of "Trapped in Color" finished filming in the village, they returned to Shangchuan because the producer and the director specifically discussed leaving the last official wrap-up scene here to make it convenient for the media, fans and fans who paid to be invited to visit the set and prepare for the subsequent publicity and promotion arrangements.
The last scene in the script took less than two hours to shoot, but surrounded by lights, admiration, cheers and countless flashing cameras, Lu Xinyang spent more than three hours before he actually finished his work.
He was also performing during these three hours, and the performance had a rich variety of topics. He had to greet the occasional unpleasant partner like Xiang Wei with a smile. It was really hard to count the number of times, so he left work as soon as the interview was over.
Lu Xinyang nimbly jumped out of the crowd and ran outside with big strides. Tang Lin had already driven out and parked the car. He watched like a show as Lu Xinyang ran across the road at the last ten seconds of the green light. He bent down to hold the car door and gasped for breath, but did not forget to hold the backpack tightly in his hands.
"Congratulations on passing the first round," Tang Lin poked his head out of the cab. "But don't be too happy just yet. You'll have to go on a publicity tour with the crew soon. On your way back, think about how to please your parents. Otherwise, if they lock you up at home and don't let you out, you'll be doomed."
Lu Xinyang opened the car door, picked up a bottle of water and drank most of it in one gulp, then agreed: "You're right, come on down, I'll drive the car."
Tang Lin was eager to rest for a while, so he moved his butt to the passenger seat. Lu Xinyang screwed the bottle cap on, got in the car, turned the steering wheel and slid into the unobstructed traffic.
He drove very fast, obviously familiar with the road conditions and eager to reach his destination, but Tang Lin realized something was wrong as soon as he saw the road sign: "Isn't this the way home?"
"What if I can't get out after I go home?" Lu Xinyang said, "So I won't go back, I'll go find Ji Rongyu directly."
"Oh," Tang Lin asked again, "Are you going to confess your feelings?"
Lu Xinyang immediately held his breath, raised his head and chest, and punched his thigh with a resounding punch: "Yes!"
"Why didn't you confess your feelings when you were on the set? You were together every day back then, so there were plenty of opportunities. If you failed once, there was always a second time. Now you're going to his house, and if you fail, he'll definitely kick you out, right? That's the end of it, right?"
Lu Xinyang said, "Because there are so many people on the set! If I confess and get rejected, Ji Rongyu will definitely ignore me for a long time. Then everyone will see him ignoring me, and they will think Ji Rongyu hates me."
"I don't understand," Tang Lin said. "Why do you seem to be afraid of others 'thinking' that he hates you, rather than being afraid of him hating you?"
"I knew you didn't understand!" Lu Xinyang sat up straight immediately, giving him a look that was both satisfying and smug. "He hates me, but he doesn't really hate me. At most, he'll just show some disdain. I just need to keep pestering him."
"But if others think he hates me, then this person will interfere. He might use a hundred methods to stick to Ji Rongyu and occupy his personal time. He might also frame me, slander me, cause misunderstandings between us, and alienate our relationship. Then he will take the opportunity to snatch Ji Rongyu away!" Lu Xinyang became more and more excited. "There are so many men... men and women in the crew. Who knows if they have bad intentions! I must be on guard against them!!"
Okay, now Tang Lin is sure that Lu Xinyang really watches a lot of messy TV dramas.
"So! Wait until Ji Rongyu comes home before confessing to him. This is the strategy!" Lu Xinyang loudly announced his courtship plan, "Only success is allowed, no failure!"
"Okay, okay, I got it, I got it." Tang Lin shook the goose bumps off his hands and couldn't help but dodge to the side. Just talk, why did you get into pelvic resonance? That's scary.
"Huh." Lu Xinyang looked down at the backpack on his legs and reached out to move the doll hanging on it.
The doll was covered in a custom-made transparent soft plastic shell, and was wearing a denim vest. Its red mouth was smiling, revealing two small canine teeth. He remembered that Ji Rongyu had also had a pair of jeans of the same material in his suitcase, but he had never seen him wear them again.
Lu Xinyang pinched the doll's tiny hands and feet, and became happier the more he looked at them. It was great that he and Ji Rongyu already had so many memories. Every time he recalled something, he felt happy, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.
As expected of Ji Rongyu, even the memories related to him are so chewy!
The traffic light at the intersection turned from red to green. Lu Xinyang turned a corner and left Tang Lin at the bus stop in front, then headed towards Baijiang Bridge with all his heart.
He has finished filming now, and all his time and all his salary (including red envelopes) can be given to Ji Rongyu! As long as Ji Rongyu doesn't kick him out without letting him in, the first thing he will say when he enters the door is to confess his love to Ji Rongyu!
He! Wants! To! Confess!
Lu Xinyang made a bold vow in his heart, but the reality was that he had just run to the downstairs of Ji Rongyu's apartment when he suddenly braked and gasped for breath with his chest pounding.
The heartbeat was so rapid that it seemed as if it had already grown wings and flown over before him. He had been squatting at the door of his beloved's house for too long, lacking blood and oxygen. Lu Xinyang had to be in a dilemma. He was afraid that he would suffocate if he was a step later, but if he ran too fast, he would be overwhelmed by the intense emotions.
Lu Xinyang looked up at the glass windows upstairs that were all of similar size, carefully counted the one that belonged to Ji Rongyu's house, and started to snort again with a red face.
He took a breath, lifted one leg, took another breath, and stepped back again.
Ji Rongyu...should he like him too? After Lu Xinyang came to his senses, he immediately noticed the difference in Ji Rongyu's attitude towards him, and all the hot and cold changes surrounding Ji Rongyu were explained.
But liking him doesn't mean I will agree to be with him. What if Ji Rongyu has other concerns that I can't solve? What should they do then?
...Actually, I guessed it. Lu Xinyang rubbed his nose depressedly and thought, if that time really comes, Ji Rongyu will definitely ignore me again.
After all, he is Ji Rongyu. In the three months on the crew, he hasn't made a single new friend. He would rather wait for his friend named Ke to come all the way to play with him than go out for a meal with unfamiliar colleagues.
For the first time, something called caution emerged in Lu Xinyang's head, making him feel top-heavy and crushing his courage.
Lu Xinyang tapped his thigh and said to himself, how about... just forget it? Anyway, as long as he can be with Ji Rongyu, things like confession can be put on hold for the time being... Maybe, when fate shows up again, when snowflakes fall overhead and rainbows appear in the sky, maybe everything will fall into place smoothly... Waiting is also a strategy!
After entering Ji Rongyu's house, Lu Xinyang felt that his second strategy was also very correct, because his deflated courage was filled with happiness and joy again. He hugged the backpack tightly in front of his chest with both hands, looked at the man with satisfaction and said, "Ji Rongyu, did you miss me?"
"..." Ji Rongyu raised his eyelids and looked at him from bottom to top, with the corners of his mouth straightened, his expression looked like he was not welcome, but he did not say he was not welcome.
So Lu Xinyang just laughed happily and said, "I missed you. We haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"It didn't take long." Ji Rongyu turned around, bent down and took out a pair of slippers from the cabinet, then walked to the kitchen to pour water.
The slippers fell in front of Lu Xinyang like a turtle that couldn't turn over. The glass in the cupboard made several tinkling and clanging sounds. The rapid water rushed into the glass and splashed out. Ji Rongyu's movements were so different from usual. Because they were fast, he didn't care about the details at all.
He seemed to think that by speeding up every movement he could make up for the second when he paused uncontrollably in front of Lu Xinyang.
"It's such a nice day today," Lu Xinyang walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down, resting his head on top of his backpack. "Is your grandpa home, or did he go out for a walk? I miss him too."
Ji Rongyu pointed at Ji Guanghui's door without turning his head, then he added some salt to the water cup and turned around to hand the cup to Lu Xinyang.
Lu Xinyang held the cup and drank it slowly, one sip after another, his face flushed and breathless. Then he followed Ji Rongyu to the living room like his tail.
"you……"
"Oh? Xiaolu, it's you," Ji Guanghui came out of the room and looked at Lu Xinyang in surprise. He suddenly became very enthusiastic and quickly went up to hug Lu Xinyang. "Oh! It's our Xiaolu! Why didn't you tell grandpa before you came? If I had known, I would have gone with Ji Rongyu to pick you up!"
"Is it time for vacation after filming? I asked Xiao Ji to clean up your room. Can you stay at home longer this time?"
"Really? Can you stay as long as you want? Grandpa, you're so nice. I miss you so much too!" Lu Xinyang was flattered and immediately responded with the same enthusiasm, hugging Ji Guanghui so tightly that her feet were off the ground.
Only Ji Rongyu was watching coldly from the side, feeling that the enthusiasm of these two people revealed a large degree of guilt.
How could he not feel guilty? After all, Lu Xinyang didn't really want to hug the old man. He wanted to hug the old man's only grandson! And once he hugged him, he wanted to take him back home and hold him tightly for the rest of his life.
Since he had made such an idea, Lu Xinyang would correct his attitude from now on and regard himself as Ji Guanghui's second grandson. He would listen to whatever his grandfather said and it was his duty to be filial to his grandfather!
"I'm glad you're back. Our family will be more lively with you. I like it this way." Ji Guanghui said with a smile while pulling Lu Xinyang to see the chicken and turtle he left behind.
"Wow, this chicken... You can tell it's grown a lot. Grandpa is really good at raising it!" A small light-colored comb has emerged on the black-spotted and non-spotted heads, making it look very chicken-like. Lu Xinyang nodded as he looked at it.
"What about the turtle?" He glanced over and saw Ji Guanghui take out a tightly bound turtle from a plastic bag, then looked away again: "Has the turtle not hatched yet?"
Ji Guanghui said: "Of course it's hatched! You saw it, right here!"
He picked up the alligator snapping turtle weighing over ten pounds and thrust it at Lu Xinyang's face. The snapping turtle opened its mouth, and Lu Xinyang took two steps back in shock: "No, this isn't it! This is too big!"
"Of course not! It came out of that egg! How could I be wrong?"
Ji Guanghui spoke very firmly, but Ji Rongyu frowned: "I asked you about it when I just got home, and you said you gave it to Grandpa Ke to help raise it..."
"Yeah, he took good care of it. I thought Lao Ke knew this. Look at what he brought back for me. It's so well-maintained, so shiny and smooth!"
"It's obviously scratchy!" Lu Xinyang moved his mouth and stole a glance at Ji Rongyu's expression. He felt that today was also a very chewy day. "Anyway, anyway, I don't think it can crawl out of my egg."
"What do you mean, Xiaolu? Do you think I broke your egg and then went out and caught a random turtle to trick you?"
Seeing Lu Xinyang remain silent, Ji Guanghui had a feeling that he might not be able to deceive her this time. He said anxiously, "This is yours! How can you not see it? Why don't you close your eyes and take a closer look!"
Lu Xinyang: “…”
Forget it, this is grandpa, I have to be filial to him. Lu Xinyang closed his eyes and said loudly: "Okay! I see it! This is my own grandson!"
"That's right!" Ji Guanghui immediately showed a satisfied smile.
Ji Rongyu couldn't listen any longer, so he stood up and said, "I'm going out to buy some food."
Lu Xinyang continued to close his eyes, turned around and said to him, "I'll go with you."
"Who wants you!" Ji Rongyu walked out without looking back, his movements still as fast as before.
"Why don't you want me? I think I'm a pretty good person." Anyway, he was lying with his eyes closed, so it didn't matter if he was a little blinder. Lu Xinyang held his chin with both hands, "right, grandpa? If you had a granddaughter, you would definitely be willing to marry her to me, right?"
"Hmm..." Ji Guanghui scratched his head. "Oh, by the way, I heard you guys spent more than half a month in the mountains while filming. What's the environment like up there? Are there any snakes falling from the beams? Are there air conditioners installed?"
Lu Xinyang thought for a moment and realized that the brazier filled with charcoal had the same effect as an air conditioner, and it wouldn't be needed when it got hotter. "Yes, the environment is pretty good, the food and accommodation are good."
"That's fine. I was worried that Xiao Ji wasn't telling me the truth."
Ji Guanghui was obviously happy. She put the snapping turtle down and said, "So you just got back from filming today? How come Xiao Ji got back before you? Didn't you go together?"
"We have different working hours. He works earlier and I work later," Lu Xinyang said. "But that won't happen anymore in the future."
"That's great." Ji Guanghui didn't say what was good about it, but only said, "Are we having dinner at home tonight?"
"Yeah!" Lu Xinyang nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay! Then grandpa will show you his skills tonight," Ji Guanghui stood up and walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked through it. "Oh, my sweet wine ran out last time. Xiaolu, come and help me call Ji Rongyu and ask him to buy some sweet wine. My phone is here."
"Oh, okay."
On the other end, Ji Rongyu, who was still walking on the road, heard the peculiar ringtone of a phone call in his pocket and picked it up without thinking: "Hello, Grandpa?"
Lu Xinyang said: "Hey!"
"What are you talking about?!" Ji Rongyu was furious. "What's your business? Just talk!"
"Grandpa asked me to call you."
"That's not your grandpa, don't shout! That's my grandpa!"
"Our grandfather," Lu Xinyang said, "he asked you to buy him some sweet wine. The one at home is all used up. He said he wants the kind that costs nine yuan, and asked you not to buy something too expensive."
Ji Guanghui saw Lu Xinyang put down his phone after saying this and asked, "Are you done?"
"He hung up on me." Lu Xinyang said.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I just remembered I ran out of longan."
"That's right, Ji Rongyu was too anxious and didn't even chat with me for a while."
Ji Guanghui was only old, but he was not deaf. He knew that the brat had just taken advantage of him, so he said, "Forget it, let's hit him again."
"oh."
Ji Rongyu was still fuming when he got another call, and it was his special ringtone. He started yelling, "If you have something to say, just say it all! If you keep going on, I'll really beat you up when I get back!"
"Ji Rongyu, how can you be so rude on Qingming Festival?" Ji Guanghui said slowly, "When you answered the phone, you didn't even call me grandpa, and you even threatened me."
Ji Rongyu: “…………”
ah! ! ! ! ! --
You two! What the hell! Are you ever going to stop?!!!!
