Be Crazy Demon Survival System - Chapter 99: Extra: Lin Ran
[Setting review: Xu Qichen and Xia Zhixu in this world are both copies of consciousness left behind before entering the second world, so they retain all the memories of Chenchen and Zhixu in the first world, and then continue in the first world life. So they dont have the memory of the next few worlds (highlight)]
The day Lin Ran announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry was the day after April Fools’ Day.
Its funny that, on April Fools Day, Lin Ran and Ji Mengze participated in the magazine cover and inside page shooting. At that time, Ji Mengzes contract expired, and he had just left his own agency. He was at a time when the heat was high. Although the film with Lin Ran was two years ago, the popularity of CP has remained high. The April issue of the magazine I specifically chose a combination of the two as a gimmick.
The theme of this shoot is [Equally Powerful]. In order to highlight the theme, Lin Ran and Ji Mengze’s styles both use opposite colors, one is deep and heavy, and the other is light and transparent. Ji Mengze came out wearing a somewhat baggy white sweater and just met Lin Ran wearing a black turtleneck sweater, holding a cup of latte filled with milk foam in his hand.
“This dress is so big…” Ji Mengze took the latte and began to mutter to himself.
“Fortunately, maybe they just want this effect.” Lin Ran smiled.
In fact, the two of them have been together for almost two years.
But Ji Mengze never told him that he was actually a strange soul occupying this body, and he even came from a different time and space.
He hesitated for a long time, but couldn’t find a suitable opportunity anyway, so he kept hiding it.
The photographer and the host soon came to the scene, and everyone started an interview with quick questions and answers in the rest area.
The host did not appear on the scene, and the two sat side by side on the sofa. When they were seated, Lin Ran also pushed the dessert on the coffee table quietly toward Ji Mengze.
“Then let’s start.” The host smiled behind the camera, “Our session today is special.” She handed out the four reminders in her hand to both of them, “We will ask some questions. He chose which sign to give his answer. One sign says Yes, and the other says Never. You have the right to ask each other.”
Lin Ran turned the sign in his hand and said with a smile, “I feel that many things will be exposed.”
Ji Mengze also lowered his head and laughed.
“The first question, have you ever had a crush on anyone?”
Thats the first question…
Ji Mengze looked at Lin Ran subconsciously, who knew that the other party was also looking at him, and when his eyes met, it seemed to release some kind of magnetic field that only two people could receive.
Both hands hold up the sign at the same time.
[Had]
“Do you want to ask each other?”
Lin Ran laughed, “Forget it, I feel like Ji Mengze’s fans will kill me.”
Ji Mengze also shook his head, “If you have a crush, let it stay dark.”
A well-known push and pull game.
“The second question, have you ever done something stupid that was being watched?”
Lin Ran’s Yu Guang glanced at Ji Mengze’s face and saw that he frowned slightly, seeming to be searching for answers from many memories.
He first held up the sign himself.
[Had]
“Isn’t Mengze?” The host smiled.
The other party nodded, stretched out his hand to tug at his too wide collar, and raised the sign of [NO OVER].
Oh yes, he has the right to follow up. Ji Mengze suddenly thought.
“What silly thing have you done that was watched by people?” His eyes were bent, and he was already preparing to laugh for the answer he was about to hear.
Lin Ran first turned to him and smiled at him, then said to the camera, “Isn’t it stupid to chase the bus on a bicycle? Anyway, people on the road were watching, I should think I was stupid.”
Ji Mengze, or Xu Qichen’s smile suddenly froze.
The host was still asking curiously: “So what happened at that time, how could you chase the bus by bike?”
Lin Ran still had a relaxed expression on his face, and his smile was just right.
“It’s nothing, I just want to catch up.” He paused, “I thought that as long as I caught up with that car, something would be different.” He turned the sign in his hand and said, “Next question.”
The host is also very good at winking, and quickly moved on to the next question, “Do you have anyone you want to collaborate with recently? Both actors and directors are fine.”
Xu Qichen is still immersed in the last question.
That problem uprooted the memories of many years ago, so that he now wants to try hard to ask for the interference of inner emotions, but he can’t do it anyway.
The boy in his school uniform and jacket was madly riding a bicycle.
Seeing Lin Ran holding up an unavailable sign, Xu Qichen hurriedly raised one. He was originally prepared to be like him, but in the end he panicked and raised the [Yes] sign.
Lin Ran turned his head and asked with a smile, “Who do you want to work with recently?”
Xu Qichen hesitated, “Ah…”
He doesn’t have anyone he wants to cooperate with, and he has no buffer time to think about this issue.
I had to choose the most intuitive object in front of me.
“Cooperate with you.” He looked at the camera with a sincere expression, “If I have the opportunity, I still want to cooperate with Lin Ran. Although we have cooperated twice, he has always been my goal of learning.”
Seeing him answering so seriously, Lin Ran felt too cute and couldn’t help laughing.
“What if I quit the entertainment industry? Who do you want to work with?”
This was said by him, as if he was saying [to eat omelet rice at noon today] so casual and simple.
Xu Qichen was stunned, “It sounds like the truth…”
“It’s true.” Lin Ran repeated it again.
Even the host was shocked. Fortunately, her professionalism was good, and she immediately took the stubbornness. “I was almost taken aback by Lin Ran. Today is April Fool’s Day. It was really a shock.”
Xu Qichen was also shocked.
Because of the particularity of April Fool’s Day, I mistakenly thought it was a false alarm.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Lin Ran really announced that he had quit the entertainment industry.
He was too lazy to develop the conference, but announced the news on Weibo. Soon his retiring became a headline, and even [Ji Mengze Canceled Contract], who had been hanging for several days, was topped.
Xu Qichen couldn’t understand. He sent a message to Lin Ran while working.
[Ji Mengze]: Do you really want to retire?
Lin Ran’s reply was soon received.
[Lin Ran]: I told you yesterday~
This wavy line… how happy he is.
Xu Qichen made a long list, and finally deleted it, without reply.
But Lin Ran suddenly sent another message.
[Lin Ran]: There should be many new companies that want to sign you, have you chosen?
Xu Qichen looked at these words and thought for a long time. He also wanted to tell Lin Ran directly, in fact, he didn’t have any ambitions, he was not originally a member of this circle.
[Ji Mengze]: I haven’t thought about it yet.
“Mengze! Let’s make up a shot.”
“Okay!” Xu Qichen was about to put down the phone and walked into the studio, when the phone suddenly vibrated.
[Lin Ran]: Do you want to run away with me?
Being dragged back to the scene of the advertisement, the shed was covered with dry ice, and a psychedelic mist rose.
Xu Qichen looked forward with empty eyes.
That sentence appeared repeatedly in my mind.
[Would you like to run away with me? ]
In the mist, it seemed that a hand suddenly appeared and grasped his wrist accurately.
Leave here, leave the lights and attention, leave the anxiety that cannot be shaken off.
After shooting the last commercial, Xu Qichen went back to the company. On the way, he met Bai Yi who was going to the recording studio to prepare his personal EP. After chatting with him for a while, he finally came to Li Yun’s office.
“It just so happens that you are here.” Li Yun took a large stack of documents, “I have checked for you. These companies are still good, and the resources are all biased. I think if you focus on movies, choose…”
“Sister, I want to go to school.” Xu Qichen rarely interrupted Li Yun.
An unbelievable expression appeared on Li Yun’s face: “What did you say?”
“I want to study abroad.” Xu Qichen repeated.
This kind of decision is not uncommon in the circle, and Li Yun is not completely unacceptable, but it happened that Lin Rangang announced her retirement, “You two have discussed it, right.”
“No. I didn’t have any professional ambitions, you know. So I came here today just to tell you that I don’t want to stay in the circle anymore and you don’t have to worry about the new owner for me.” Xu Qichen said The expression on the screen is very relaxed, “I have always wanted to go to Master of Arts.”
He smiled at Li Yun, “Sister Yun, I am very grateful to you. I have been thinking that I will get you out as soon as I leave. You should continue to take me as before. Let’s build a studio by ourselves. Category”
“But you find that you still don’t like this job?” Li Yun asked directly.
Xu Qichen nodded, “This is not my job originally.”
No matter from which level, this is true.
Xu Qichen didn’t choose Lin Ran’s retreat method, because it was not suitable for Ji Mengze, who had his own **** physique, but it might make him no longer able to quit with peace of mind. He can only choose to fade out of the public’s sight a little bit, wait for a suitable opportunity, and then contact some media to release the news of his going abroad to study.
In fact, Xu Qichen felt a little sorry for Ji Mengze’s fans, but he later discovered that these fans are more fluid than he thought, especially those who love his career rather than himself. This gave him a little excuse to let go.
When he arrived in France, Lin Ran drove to pick him up. Lin Ran in the center of the storm still laughed calmly, wearing a hat, sneakers and T-shirt, like a college student.
“Those who want to transform into entrepreneurs are so idle?” Xu Qichen teased.
He pressed the brim of his hat and took Xu Qichen’s arm, “My vacation is not over yet.” After speaking, he kissed Xu Qichen’s ears that were reddened by the sun among a bunch of blonde strangers.
“Finally ran away with me.”
Xu Qichen was a little embarrassed. After staying in this world for too long, he developed a bad habit of avoiding the eyes of passersby, but he couldn’t change it for a while, so he could only wear a mask to give himself a sense of security.
Lin Ran took him into the car. Xu Qichen liked to sleep in the car, so he fell asleep with his head tilted as soon as he got in the car.
Memories of the past appeared again in the dream.
At the raining bus station, half of the view was blocked by an umbrella cover, and the boy standing in front of him holding the bicycle in his hand, and the awkward expression on his face.
With a sigh of breath in his chest, he woke up uncomfortably.
“What’s your dream? His face is so bad.”
Xu Qichen found that his backrest was put down by him. He straightened up and rubbed his eyes, “I didn’t have any dreams.”
He still dare not admit it.
“Where are we going?”
The person in the driver’s seat smiled, and Huya became distinct in the sun.
“Go to our home.”
It turned out that in this coastal French city, Lin Ran bought a small house by the sea. Xu Qichen was a little surprised, but he felt that this was reasonable.
The two unloaded the burden in front of the screen and became ordinary people that no one knew. They lived in this small house for half a month, cooking and drinking together, going to the supermarket to stock up, and following the same-sex equality on the street. The visitors marched with rainbow oil paint painted on each other on their faces.
But I don’t know why, the happier he is, the more disturbed Xu Qichen is.
He is not Ji Mengze. This is an irrefutable fact.
And his doubts about Lin Ran grew deeper and deeper.
Every hug, every kiss, every intimate contact between the two of them could not touch the soul of each other.
All he has is uneasy happiness.
After cycling home along the coastline, Lin Ran casually cooked some Western food for Xu Qichen. The two filled their stomachs sat in front of their small house with local beer, looking at the sea level not far away.
The golden sunset sprinkled unscrupulously on the sea, it was very beautiful.
“It’s so beautiful.” Xu Qichen couldn’t help sighing.
“Yeah.” Lin Ran took a sip of beer, “I picked this house for a long time, it’s quiet and beautiful.”
His wrist shook lightly, the alcohol in the can made a flowing sound, and he suddenly said, “Do you have anything you want to tell me?”
Xu Qichen’s body stiffened.
Rapid heartbeat.
Both were silent for a while.
Did he discover something? Countless possibilities flashed through Xu Qichen’s mind. The palm of his hand began to sweat, and he was shocked by the cold can and became even colder.
Lin Ran glanced sideways at him, saw his drooping head, and suddenly pointed in another direction, “There is a swan over there.”
Xu Qichen, who was immersed in his thoughts, looked to the left subconsciously. There was nothing but Hai. He was clearly cheated. He turned his face a little annoyed, but hit the lips of the person next to him.
Was kissed. Although it was a short and light kiss.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qichen quickly retreated, clutching the beer can in his hand tightly, and heard Lin Ran say, “If you have nothing to say…I do.”
The frequency of the heartbeat began to disorder.
“I’m not Lin Ran.”
His tone was very calm.
“And I know you are not Ji Mengze either.”
The can in Xu Qichen’s hand fell on the sand, and the little beer left hurriedly found an exit and slipped into the gravel.
Lin Ran stretched out his hand, straightened the can, and continued: “I originally planned to hide each other like this. As long as I can be with you, it doesn’t matter if I use other identities, but I have struggled for a long time, but I still want you Knowing who I am, I dont want to deceive myself anymore. The worst result is that you cut off contact with me and leave. I have not experienced it.” He smiled after he said, and looked at Xu Qichen, “You know Why did I kiss you just now?”
Xu Qichen’s eyes flickered, but did not answer.
Self-comfort before assuming the worst results.
May never kiss again.
Lin Ran looked at the sun gradually sinking in the distance, and said again, “Do you remember the stupid thing I did on the day I was shooting a magazine. Have you ever met such a person, riding on a rainy day? He chased the bus desperately with his bicycle.” He paused, “I always wanted to know if you looked back at me when you were sitting in the bus that day.”
Xu Qichen’s heart paused for a moment.
After so many days of suspicion, he suddenly got the answer, but it made him even more confused.
Lin Ran looked at his profile and asked again, with a trembling that could not be hidden in his voice, “Xu Qichen, are you looking back?”
Xu Qichen lowered his head, shook it gently, and then shook it again.
No.
He dared not look back at all.
Every word he yelled out in the rain, I believe you, made myself not courageous to look back. He was so scared that once he saw him, he couldn’t help but tell the driver to stop and rush into the rain to hug him.
Lin Ran took a deep breath, his chest was so tight, he wiped his face, and drank the last sip of wine, then patted his shoulder lightly, “Okay. You can go now.”
Xu Qichen raised his eyes, his tone was stubborn for no reason, “I’m not going.”
Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, too. He said that this house was specially bought for him. Now his tone seemed to drive him away. He immediately changed his words, “Oh, no, I should be leaving. I was wrong just now. Later…” He stood up and sighed, “What’s next, let’s talk about it later.”
Just about to take a step, my wrist was dragged.
“Don’t you go either.”
This was not the unfolding he had imagined, and he didn’t even dare to look back now.
Xu Qichen’s hand holding his wrist moved down and grabbed his hand, cool.
His voice was soaked by the sea breeze, and it was also cold.
“Xia Zhixu, don’t leave.”
Even with full psychological preparation, the moment he was called out his real name, he still felt sad. The feeling that the name came out of his mouth had changed from familiar to unfamiliar.
Feeling his hand shaking, Xu Qichen was finally convinced that it was really him.
Has he also entered the system, just like himself. Xu Qichen didn’t know the ins and outs, he was now thinking about the day when he broke up with him before.
“Sorry, I left you behind.” Xu Qichen’s voice lowered, “Actually I…”
Suddenly I couldn’t continue.
Such a posture is always a little awkward. Xia Zhixu wanted to turn around, but Xu Qichen thought he was going to pull his hand out, and then he held him tightly, his tone a little anxious, “I like you.”
Xia Zhixu was stunned and turned to look at Xu Qichen, who was sitting on the steps with his head down.
The confession came too suddenly, and both of them were a little flustered for a while.
“I… I have any love experience. Strictly speaking, this is the first time with you. Although… Although I don’t know that Lin Ran is you, I am also very puzzled. How could I like the characters in the novel, although This character was originally written after you…”
“Take me as a prototype?”
The amount of information was so great that Xia Zhixu, who wore Lin Ran’s vest, was a little confused. But the only thing he knows is that from now on, they no longer have to hide from each other and can finally be honest with each other.
The hand held by Xu Qichen slammed, dragged Xu Qichen from the steps into Xia Zhixu’s arms, and threw his arms full.
“Xu Qichen.” Xia Zhixu whispered his name, hugged him and called out many times.
“Xu Qichen, Xu Qichen, Xu, Qi, Chen…”
Xu Qichen’s ears were burning with his arms, and he asked in a low voice, “What are you doing…”
Xia Zhixu shook his head, “Nothing.”
It’s been a long time, it’s been a long time since I called your name.
Miss you very much.
“You call me too.”
Xu Qichen hesitated for a while, letting go a little, and looked at his face.
“Xia Zhixu.”
The sea breeze rolled up the broken hair on his forehead, and he smiled slightly.
“You’re late.” He gently kissed Xia Zhixu’s lips, a flash of water, and reached his ear.
The voice accompanies the last glimmer of sunset.
“I miss you so much.”
