Chapter 28
Chapter 28
After Wen Jinian entered the shed, he searched around but couldn't find Zhong Xingran.
Several other couples of CPs were sitting around playing cards in front of the forest hut, surrounded by photographers, except for Zhong Xingran.
Lu Qian then greeted Wen Ji Nian and said, "Ji Nian, come quickly to play cards. I have lost several hands, so I expect you to take me flying."
Wen Jinian looked around and asked, "Did you see Zhong Xing burning?"
"No, maybe it's time to touch up the makeup." Lu Qian said, "By the way, remember to hide in the petals later, and we'll pass you the cake."
Their original plan was to let Wen Ji Nian hide in a giant lotus flower toy, and then hold the cake and slowly bloom in front of Zhong Xingran. The whole picture was filled with a strong earthy dog atmosphere.Although the scene was very shocking, it still won the support of everyone, and they were not the ones hiding in the petals anyway.
"I'll go in later, it's still early." Wen Jinian searched for Zhong Xingran's figure, and replied absently.
Strangely, Zhong Xingran didn't show up all afternoon, but a group of short Doraemons flooded into the shed, playing in circles around him.
Wen Jinian was attracted by this group of little Doraemons, and took them to play a few rounds of games according to the arrangement of the program group.
Mu Xuru called Li Mingming, who said that Zhong Xingran was not feeling well, and asked for two hours off temporarily, and came back when the cake was cut in the evening.
Mu Xuru knew that he had been bored in the doll costume for a long time, so he asked worriedly in a low voice, "Isn't it heatstroke?"
"No, no, don't worry, it's not heatstroke." Li Mingming was a little speechless, looked at Zhong Xingran who was sitting on the sofa with blank eyes, and made up, "He's just...a little tired."
"Okay, it's fine if you don't have heatstroke. I told him not to hide in the doll costume, but this guy didn't listen. Let him have a good rest." Mu Xuru was very helpless.
Li Mingming remembered his advice: "Oh, by the way, don't tell Brother Wen about this, I'll go with him after a short rest."
"I know, he doesn't want Ji Nian to worry." Mu Xuru said.
Li Mingming hung up the phone, walked towards Zhong Xingran and said, "Ranran, are you really okay? If you are really uncomfortable, I'll call the doctor to show you. Don't worry, Brother Wen will never know."
Zhong Xingran waved his hand, his eyes were still listless.
How could he like Shang Wen Ji Nian?It shouldn't be, really shouldn't be.
Three words echoed in his head over and over again: It shouldn't be.
Having survived the horror and scariness brought about by his first reaction, he now only feels that this incident is as outrageous as a comet hitting the earth.
He knew clearly that he was not a homosexual since he was a child. Although the family education strictly forbids puppy love, he would still look at each other and smile with his brothers when he saw a beautiful girl.When Jia Baiyan and the others watch movies together, occasionally he will participate in them, and everything is a very normal symptom of a teenage boy.
It wasn't until I entered high school that I didn't know whether it was because of the high pressure of the art test or other reasons.There are many beautiful girls in the training institution who handed him love letters and asked him for WeChat, but he was completely uninterested and pushed them all to his good brother Du Kang. Du Kang even jokingly asked him if he had changed his gender and became a monk. .
Once, my brothers were talking about how there was a girl in the organization who looked like a star. Du Kang asked Zhong Xingran if she thought she was good-looking, but Zhong Xingran blurted out, come on, she is not as good-looking as my running dog at the same table.
The moment the words came out, not only he was stunned, but Du Kang was also stunned. It took a long time before he asked in doubt, you mean Wen Ji Nian?
Zhong Xingran couldn't remember how he reacted at that time, it seemed that he had offended him a few words and exposed the matter.But once the words were spoken, a concept that he had to admit was formed in his heart - he just thought Wen Ji Nian was good-looking, and after meeting him, it seemed that all men and women were eclipsed.
Would Zhong Xingran feel that he was gay at that time?of course not.
Good-looking is good-looking, he still has to go down and fight with him.
But if Wen Ji Nian fights against him now, he doesn't need to think about it, he will never fight back.Not only was he reluctant to fight back, but he also worried about whether the opponent's fist hurt.
Zhong Xingran took a pillow from the sofa and covered his head, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his heart was about to be filled with some kind of emotion.
He has never been in such a mood, excited, joyful, sad, and struggling. It is as complicated as a jar of water soaked in honey lemon and bitter melon. The sweet and sour taste makes the back molars cramp.
Throughout the afternoon, he kept denying himself, wanting to hear about the year, then denying himself, and then wanting to hear about the year... Repeatedly, he was tormented.
It was not until it was almost time to cut the cake that Zhong Xingran walked into the studio slowly.
He had just taken a cold shower, his hair felt fluffy after being blown dry, and the sunglasses he took off a few days ago were back on his face, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously tensed, and he seemed a little sluggish.
He walked quite slowly, as if he was extremely unwilling to enter the shed. This reluctant expression made him look like a huge tantrum Samoyed, causing Bai Hua and Xia Fei to stare at him and laugh .
Wen Jinian asked him, "Where have you been?"
"Help Uncle Wu dry the dried fish." Zhong Xingran said what he had thought up early in the morning, avoiding his sight.
He thought sadly that he couldn't even excuse being sick, because he didn't want to see Wen Jinian showing a worried expression.
There's no help, there's no help, fuck.
Wen Jinian felt that his attitude was strange, so he thought about changing the subject and said, "Director Xu said that he would cue us some questions during the chat. Li Mingming should tell you. Are you ready for the answer?"
When he was with others, he was rarely the one to initiate the conversation, so the questions were inevitably a bit blunt.
Zhong Xingran said in a muffled voice, "Ready."
Wen Jinian finally confirmed that something was wrong with him, looked at him and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhong Xingran glanced at the camera next to him and said, "It's nothing."
Then he turned around and looked at Lu Qiansui's card.
This was the first time he left Wen Jinian there alone. Wen Jinian stood there for a while, thinking that this was a live broadcast, he resisted the urge to go up and ask him.
He felt that Zhong Xingran was not angry, but avoiding himself, but why did he avoid him?
When the live broadcast went into the evening, everyone talked about a lot of things that impressed me in childhood.The topics ranged from family to friends to problems encountered in their careers. Most of their chats were sincere and heartfelt, and the atmosphere of the barrage was also very good.
At seven o'clock, Mu Xuru started the cue process.
"Today we are gathered here, in addition to recording the program, we also want to celebrate Zhong Xingran's 24th birthday. Come, push that flower up."
"Brother Ran, happy birthday." Everyone shouted in unison.
Because they were seated in a random order, Zhong Xingran sat next to Lu Qiansui. He looked around and asked, "Where is Wen Ji Nian?"
5 minutes ago he said to go to the bathroom, and then he never saw the shadow again.
Lu Qian casually laughed, "You two really have a tacit understanding. During the day he asks where you are, and at night you ask him where you are."
Zhong Xingran looked at the one-person-high lotus flower bone being pushed up, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "He won't be hiding in that flower, will he?"
"Ahem, I didn't slip the tongue." Lu Qian whispered.
Zhong Xingran was speechless, obviously this was arranged by Mu Xuru.
"Xing Ran, come here and open the cake, friends, let's sing loudly—" Mu Xuru recorded a video with his mobile phone and prepared to send it to Chang Xiaoru, and commanded passionately, "Today is your birthday -"
Xia Fei and Bai Hua held up the light board and sang the birthday song: "Today is your birthday, send me blessings, and you have a bright smile on a special day..."
It's hard to hear that it doesn't sound like a song.
Zhong Xingran's expression froze.
[Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, I will die for my son. 】
【Xiaofei, don’t do this, I feel very ashamed...】
[Hahahahahaha, Sister Hua's expression is so disgusting, she sings while disgusting, help me. 】
【Who thought this is the link, it's too embarrassing, come out and get beaten! 】
"Happy birthday!" Mu Xuru roared, and pressed the button to open the lotus petals.
Wen Jinian stood inside with a look of wanting to die, and the camera that greeted him was snarky.
【I knew it!Sweet will be inside!So dirty hahahahahaha. 】
[Why does Mu Xuru's romantic level fluctuate, sometimes he makes it very fashionable, and sometimes he makes it look like a middle-aged man. 】
[Is there a possibility that this birthday was planned by Xia Ren's mother, and this is still restrained...]
[Ms. Chang? Hahahahahaha, I also feel that you said that. Her annual celebration ceremony for shrimps is so exaggerated. 】
Zhong Xingran originally thought that he would be too embarrassed to go forward to pick up the cake, but the truth is, when he saw Wen Ji Nian holding the cake, his heart suddenly calmed down.
The surrounding lights were in a dim yellow tone adjusted to match the forest hut, hitting his porcelain-white delicate skin from all directions, as if coating his whole body with a layer of soft light.
He just stood there, without doing anything, to attract everyone's attention.
In the dream that Zhong Xingran had before coming to Nandao, there seemed to be such a moment.
I don't know which year it was his birthday, and there was no one else around, Wen Jinian walked towards him with a smile, holding a small cake he made by himself.
At that moment, he felt that this person truly belonged to him, and he let go of all guards, guesses, and doubts one by one.He stepped forward, ignoring the other party's exclamation, dragged him over and kissed him vigorously, the cake rubbed on their clothes and got everywhere.The final picture gradually blurred...
Zhong Xingran was distracted for a few minutes, until Mu Xuru reminded him in a low voice beside him: "Xing Ran? Xing Ran, it's time to go up and get the cake."
Only then did he react, and took two steps forward to take the cake from Wen Jinian's hand.
When holding the base, he accidentally rubbed Wen Jinian's little finger, and his fingers curled up uncontrollably.
Zhong Xingran's mind was in a mess, he didn't bother to look at his expression, he turned around and put the cake on the table and wanted to cut it with a knife.
Xia Fei hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, you haven't made a wish yet."
"……Yeah, I got it."
He closed his eyes and made a wish, Xia Fei and Bai Hua next to him whispered their ears: "I guess he was so moved to see his wife holding the cake, you see he's totally delusional."
Bai Hua: "I feel like he didn't dare to watch the calendar all night, maybe it's because of embarrassment."
After Zhong Xingran made his wish, he cut the cake and handed the first piece to Wen Jinian without even thinking about it. Wen Jinian was startled, took it and smiled at him.
After he finished distributing the cakes, Mu Xuru said: "There is one last session tonight, that is, the program team has prepared an extra generous gift for our guest with the highest points. Now announce the No.1——"
Wen Jinian took a bite of the cake and looked at Zhong Xingran.
"He is, Wen Ji Nian, let us applaud and encourage!" Mu Xuru said, "As for why Ji Nian is the first, of course it is because of our birthday star, and all the points are given to him! Of course, the points of Ji Nian itself are not Low, adding up is naturally a well-deserved number one."
Wen Ji Nian choked on the cake.
Lu Qian followed the lead and applauded, "Congratulations, Ji Nian."
Xia Fei smiled and said: "I really envy Ji Nian, I also want someone to give me all the points."
Shao Yun glanced at her, "I would have told Director Xu if I knew about it."
Wen Jinian turned to Zhong Xingran, his amber eyes shone with an unexpected light.
"Thank you." He smiled.
Zhong Xingran's emotions that had been boiling all day were finally relieved, he took off his sunglasses and looked at him seriously, "You're welcome."
[Wow, wow, he really gave away all the points!Huoo Shrimp, I will never compete with you for a wife again, you deserve Tiantian! 】
[Why are these two people so shy!Don't kill me!We've been together for a year, and we still blush just looking at each other! 】
["Thank you" and "You're welcome", woo woo woo, why do I find such a polite and plain conversation so sweet! 】
[I also felt that they were so gentle when they talked to each other, I cried to death. 】
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. 】
The program team brought two big gift packages to Wen Jinian, one was a huge 100-piece Doraemon jigsaw puzzle, and the other was the Star Wars series Lego prepared by Zhong Xingran.
"I'll go, Brother Ran is really willing to spend money, this series of Lego is so expensive." Xia Fei stuck out his tongue and said.
Bai Hua gossiped with her, "It's nothing. Last year's birthday was even more sensational. This year, Brother Ran is probably considering the live broadcast, so he doesn't want to be too high-profile. It is said that his father is one of the top companies in Lanjiang's assets Family, don't look at the Internet saying that he is the prince of ZTR, in fact, ZTR is considered a small business in their family."
The two picked the wheat and secretly discussed the gossip.
Xia Fei was stunned, "Really? The rich second generation is by my side!"
Bai Hua shook her index finger, "It's not the rich second generation, it's the rich n generation. Their family can't be traced at all. Have you ever seen the media expose his father's identity?"
"Really not...so should we call Mrs. Ji Nian from now on?"
"Hahahaha, what the hell, you are so dirty!"
Mu Xuru said: "I have one more thing to say, because everyone has been working hard these days, so the program team specially gave everyone three days off before the fourth episode. You can use these three days off, Go to the tourist spots in the South Island and take a vlog or something."
Everyone cheered, but the barrage wailed endlessly.
[Three days? ? ?How do you let me live! ! 】
[I'm convinced, Director Xu really doesn't boast, he wilted just as soon as he was praised for his high productivity! 】
【Three days, I won't be able to see my babies for three days. 】
[It’s good to let them relax. It must be very tiring after recording for such a long time. Xia Ren uses sunglasses to cover dark circles every day. 】
After the live broadcast was over, everyone discussed going to other islands to play together, Zhong Xingran remained silent the whole time.
After they finished discussing and went back to their respective residences, Zhong Xingran carried the prize and walked on the road with Wen Jinian.
There are only one light every ten meters or so in the village, so they all walked very slowly.
The half-full moon rises from the east, surrounded by stars and dotted in the dark blue night sky. The sound of the tide is far away and quiet. The summer night is smoky, with the smell of beach and frangipani, which makes people relax physically and mentally. down.
Wen Jinian stretched out his hand and said, "Let me get some, there is still a long way to go."
Zhong Xingran avoided him, "No, you don't need to take it."
He didn't know when it started, but he unconsciously wanted to take care of Wen Ji Nian, and he always didn't want to see that he had work on hand when he was present, even if the work didn't bother him at all.
Only now did he realize what this change meant, which made his mind a little heavier.
Wen Ji Nian looked at him, hesitant to speak.
Zhong Xingran was always sensitive to his mood, even in the dark, he could sense that he had something to say.
"What do you want to say?" He asked, his voice had an illusion of being too gentle in the night.
Wen Jinian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Thank you today, I heard from them that you set up that street early in the morning, and the interior scene was originally built to celebrate your birthday, but you used it to surprise me instead. I... I'm not very good at expressing myself, and I don't have many friends, no one has prepared such a surprise for me. I'm very happy to have you as a friend, Zhong Xingran."
It was the first time for him to say such heart-to-heart words with others, and there were some rare stumbles, but he still said it unnaturally.
He thought that Zhong Xingran would say something with a smile, or give him a big punch and say that he made a fuss, but it didn't happen.
On the contrary, Zhong Xingran's face was slightly troubled.
Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it hard to see clearly.
After a long time, he whispered: "I also said, don't be polite with me, we...are not friends."
The last sentence was so small that it was barely audible.
Wen Jinian didn't expect him to have such an attitude, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhong Xing was carrying things silently, with complicated emotions surging in his heart - when he said the phrase "we are friends", the feeling of bewilderment and loss in his heart came unexpectedly and unexpectedly.
He also wanted to test his bottom line, but found that even if he just talked about it, he felt depressed.
It's almost impossible to put it on.
Zhong Xingran quickened his pace unknowingly, and walked towards the distant house with his things.Wen Jinian couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he had to follow behind him suspiciously. He felt that Zhong Xingran was not very happy with his initiative.
Early the next morning, the program team set off to another island.
Zhong Xingran didn't go with them, Li Mingming said he was afraid of the heat and didn't want to go.
Wen Jinian even asked him why he didn't go. He rolled up the quilt, turned his back to the other party and said that he wanted to sleep in.
After making sure that he was really not sick or uncomfortable, Wen Ji Nian left with everyone.
Putting on a hat, Bai Hua sucked on the coconut and said, "Brother Ran, why are you doing this? It's not easy to come out to play during the holiday."
"Maybe I was too tired yesterday." Wen Jinian thought of the street he built, and he should have moved a lot of tables and chairs, so it's better to stay at home and rest.
Zhong Xingran locked himself in the room for three days, so emaciated that even the stubble of his beard came out.
He was not as relaxed as other people imagined. Instead, he felt indescribably restless. There seemed to be something crashing in his body, like a wild beast roaring and trying to escape from the cage, but he couldn't find the exit.
So, he really bent, he became like Zhong Yunqi?
In the past three days, he kept searching the Internet for "how to tell if he's gay", and even found a few movies about men and women to watch.
As early as when he was filming "Nobody With Me", he had seen this type of movie.But he didn't feel anything about the man inside, and even looked a little uncomfortable.
But he is not like this at all for Wen Jinian - he often thinks that Wen Jinian is very good-looking, and when he sees his face in a daze, he really wants to get close to him; I can't help fantasizing about his posture and expression; I also get angry because of his interaction with Xu Ping; and I feel distressed because he misses his mother.
Is it bent or not?
He walked up and down the room irritablely, without thinking about doing anything, until Jia Baiyan sent him a series of messages.
A few days ago, a bunch of people on the phone wished him birthday, he didn't even want to watch it, he felt that everyone had become boring, except Wen Ji Nian.
He kept thinking about Wen Ji Nian, thinking about his face, thinking about his mind, thinking that he no longer had the desire/desire to reply to other messages.
He looked like a sick puppy with drooping eyelids.
[Xiao Jia: What's the matter, bro, you ignored me for several days, what happened? ]
[Xiao Jia: Hey, hey, just talk to me. ]
[Xiao Jia: Aren’t you on vacation, where are you? ]
Jia Baiyan knew Zhong Xingran well. If it had been different, he would have shot more than a dozen videos of himself kissing Wen Ji Nian as early as his birthday, with a 50-second voice to show off to him.
[No.1XR: Well, not so good. ]
[Xiao Jia:? ]
[No.1XR: Yangou, have you ever had a crush on someone? ]
Jia Baiyan sent a voice message, Zhong Xingran lit it, and his ears were almost blown off.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Are you mentally cheating brother? You fucking sober up! What a wonderful sister-in-law! Are you okay?"
Zhong Xingran took a deep breath and said word by word: "Are you okay, don't yell at me, I'm annoyed now."
After he sent it, he made up another reason and typed:
[No.1XR: I don't have a crush on others, I just remember the time when I wasn't with him. ]
[Xiao Jia: Oh oh oh oh oh. ]
[Xiao Jia: You scared me to death, woohoo, I almost bumped into a pillar just now. ]
Seeing that Zhong Xingran didn't answer, he tentatively said:
[Xiao Jia: Do you want to pursue your sister-in-law again now?Are you addicted to role-playing games? ]
[No.1XR: Forget it, don't worry about this... I still have a question. ]
[Xiao Jia: What? ]
[No.1XR: Have you bent over?How did you feel at that time? ]
Jia Baiyan sent another voice message, "Your uncle, I am a straight man!!"
Zhong Xingran scratched his face, feeling complicated, as if he said the same thing half a month ago, but now it seems that he doesn't know himself well enough.
[Xiao Jia: I never bent over! ! ! ]
[Xiao Jia: Talking about what happened just now, I don’t think you were secretly in love before, you were blatantly chasing after him, and the whole school knows it.Hahahaha, I remember when you were a sophomore in college, you brought breakfast to your sister-in-law every day, and then he threw it into the trash can.You confessed your love on the spot at the cultural gala, but at that time, your sister-in-law went to work and didn't come at all hahahaha.Oh yes, my sister-in-law thought she was being targeted by some pervert and even hung you on the school wall. ]
He intends to expose Zhong Xingran's background to revenge him, and continued.
[Xiao Jia: Also, you climbed the wall in the middle of the night and set up fireworks under your sister-in-law’s dormitory. I came with you at that time, do you remember?Fireworks were not set off in the school, and we were caught by the dormitory supervisor of the college, and we were chased halfway across the playground. ]
[No. 1XR: ………]
He wanted to block Jia Baiyan.
He held back his temper and typed: [Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, did I talk to you when I found myself bent? ]
[Xiao Jia: We talked about it, you said that you are not bent, you are sexual (what the hell, but you said it yourself).You also said that among the men and women in the world, you only love Wen Ji Nian.So you chased him willingly for three years before you caught him.But our sister-in-law is really hard to chase, the whole school covets his beauty a lot, no one can handle him, except you. ]
Zhong Xingran looked at his news, his expression became dazed.
[Xiao Jia: Hahahaha, I remembered that my sister-in-law’s fans were still joking, saying that you are Wen Ji Nian’s poisonous only, more poisonous than them. "Zhong Xingran is a poisonous sticky cake", hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha their original words, I died of laughter. ]
[Xiao Jia: When you first found out that you liked him, you drank too much and told me a lot, don't you remember all of them?You said that life is only 90 or [-] years, why should you miss the person you love most just because of some stubborn ideas?You also said that no matter whether Wen Ji Nian is a man or a woman, if he appears in your life, you are destined to fall in love with him... Hey, although it is gross, I think it is quite profound, so I remember it now. ]
Zhong Xingran didn't expect that the one who explained him was himself in college. This feeling is a bit weird, but it does seem like something he can say.
As long as his prejudice against Zhong Yunqi aside, as long as the object is Wen Ji Nian, he doesn't seem to be so resistant to falling in love with a man.
[Xiao Jia: Having said so much, I think you were quite cowardly at first, always feeling that you were not worthy of someone as good as your sister-in-law.I have never seen you so cowardly. In my impression, you have always been aggressive, daring to love and hate, but you didn't even dare to confess directly at that time. You were afraid that everything would be over if you failed to confess. ]
Zhong Xingran thought to himself, because he is Wen Ji Nian.
Even though he didn't like Wen Ji Nian so much in high school, he still admired his conduct.He has his own set of principles for anyone and everything, and never changes a bit because of others.
He has his own firm goals and clearly understands what he wants to do. This is what Zhong Xingran admires most about him, because until high school, his life was under the influence of his father, moving towards the one that his family expected. direction development.Later, when he met Jia Baiyan and his group, he really turned vocal music from a hobby into an ideal.
No one has ever been able to impress Wen Ji Nian, nor has anyone been able to win his favor.
He is like a god standing on a high place, overlooking the world with the most indifferent and contemptuous attitude, as if nothing can arouse his emotional fluctuations.But only Zhong Xingran knows that the hottest fire is hidden in his ice sculpture-like body.
He likes the warmth behind Wen Ji Nian's indifferent mask, his moved and caring eyes for himself, and the fragility that is inadvertently revealed under his tough appearance.
No matter when, where, and what status, he is destined to be attracted by such Wen Ji Nian.
He was suddenly relieved, as if the rope that strangled his neck was suddenly loosened, as if he had secretly exchanged a look with himself five years later, and the pressure that had plagued him for three days dissipated a lot in an instant.
——Losing to Wen Ji Nian, what's so embarrassing.
He was about to type when Jia Baiyan sent another message.
[Xiao Jia: But maybe it was because my sister-in-law didn't like you at the time, hey, if my sister-in-law didn't have too high a view, I would also like to compete [狗头], I added a dog head, don't block me! ! ]
Zhong Xingran froze, he finally realized a crucial and serious problem——
However, the current Wen Ji Nian doesn't seem to like him either.
His mood was like riding a roller coaster, roaring up and down, without any warning, momentarily heaven, momently hell.
After "How could I be bent", another youth problem that plagued male high school students appeared, that is "What should I do if the person I have a crush on doesn't like me".
He became inexplicably cautious.
[No.1XR: Yangou, do you think I'm handsome? ]
[Xiao Jia:? ]
[The type that Nay would like? ]
[Xiao Jia:? ? ? ]
