After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away - Chapter 100
[Chapter 95 He is here (6)]
Seeing Gu Chen here, Ji Ning was very surprised, but when he heard that the other party actually recognized him, he couldn’t believe it. He said with excitement and surprise, “Long time no see, Senior Gu.
” Are you alone?” Gu Chen glanced around and saw that no one was following behind Ji Ning, he said with a smile, “Why don’t you come and sit with me?”
“I came alone, but is it okay?” Ji Ning was flattered and asked uncertainly, “Will it disturb the senior?”
Gu Chen nodded with a smile: “It doesn’t matter, I’m just filming nearby. After work, I come out to relax and sit here for a while. If it is convenient for you, we will We can chat.”
“Of course it’s convenient.”
Ji Ning nodded vigorously, but the feeling of being depressed before was dissipated by the chance encounter with Gu Chen, and he didn’t dare to make Gu Chen wait any longer. He hurriedly went to the front desk to order a cup of coffee and sat down. Come back, chat with Gu Chen while drinking.
“How have you been in the past few years?” Gu Chen put down his sunglasses, sat relaxed, raised his slender legs, and looked very elegant when he raised his hands and feet, “You have grown a lot taller than before, and you look better.
” Thank you, senior, you too, you’re even more handsome than before.”
Ji Ning was a little embarrassed, he grew up late, when he was in junior high school, he was just a beanie, not tall, standing with Gu Chen could be a little shorter: “I’ve been doing pretty well for the past few years. I’ve been admitted to university step by step, and I’m in the second year of my sophomore year.”
“Is it the school next door?
”
He smiled, “Are you still acting now?”
“Acting is acting, but I don’t often go on stage. I am the vice president of our school’s drama club. I am mainly responsible for bringing new people and letting them act.” Ji Ning said .
“You are very talented, and your physical condition is good. If you develop in this area, it would be a good choice.” Gu Chen said, “Have you considered it?”
Ji Ning shook his head: “I never thought that acting is just my hobby, and my talent is not as good as that of a senior, and I have no connections…”
“If you want to come, I can introduce you.” Gu Chen smiled, ” Why don’t we exchange contact information? You can send me a message anytime you want to find me.”
“Okay.” Although Ji Ning has no intention of developing into the entertainment industry, he is very willing to exchange contact information with Gu Chen. .
He took out his mobile phone and unlocked the screen, but suddenly saw that there were several missed calls and unread text messages on the muted mobile phone, all of which were from Ying Qianqiu and Qin Ruwang, and asked him where he was. As for Huo Wuling, it was a No message was sent to him.
Thinking of Huo Wuling, Ji Ning felt sullen in his heart. Of course, he wouldn’t take the initiative to contact him. He just sent a message to the other two roommates, telling them that he was in a nearby shop, and that he would go back a little later and go directly to the dormitory. , told them not to wait for him.
Ji Ning and Gu Chen exchanged contact information. The pendant that was broken just now was brought out along with the mobile phone. After Gu Chen returned it to him, he put it in his pocket. It will be specially repaired later.
“Your mobile phone pendant seems to be rare.” Gu Chen glanced at the silver pendant and said with a smile, “It’s also very beautiful.”
“Ah… yes, this one is specially made for me by my friend.”
Ji Ning Picking up the pendant with the broken rope and putting it in the palm of my hand, I felt a little depressed in an instant.
This silver pendant looks like a chubby robot. It is a movie character he liked when he was a child. Jiang Che always knew that he likes this robot, so he gave him this custom pendant a few years ago. Ji Ning likes it very much. So it has been used until now.
This time, the rope broke and the pendant fell unexpectedly, but fortunately it was picked up. Thinking like this, Ji Ning put the robot pendant back in her pocket, and decided to put it away in the future and not carry it with her.
“That friend of yours,” Gu Chen looked at Ji Ning’s movements quietly at first, and then asked after he put away the pendant, “Is it Jiang Che?
” Name?”
“Remember, I still have an impression of him. You two were inseparable at the time, and it was hard not to notice him. How is he doing now?” Gu Chen asked.
“He… has passed away.”
Ji Ning’s voice was very low. He didn’t know what was going on today, but he always thought of Jiang Che one after another, or mentioned Jiang Che, but after Jiang Che died, he was not very willing to mention the past.
“Sorry.” Gu Chen apologized, “I don’t know the news.”
“It’s okay.” Ji Ning shook his head and showed a faint smile at Gu Chen. He wouldn’t blame Gu Chen, and the other party didn’t look like Huo. Wuling, even deliberately revealing the pain in his heart, only in this case will he be angry.
“Your relationship must be very good… You still keep the gift he gave you.” The
young and handsome man gave him a deep look, and then looked out the window, the people on the street had gathered more and more Many, even the milk tea shop has begun to enter, they are all aware of the news of his appearance nearby, and are looking for him everywhere.
“Let’s get out of here first.”
Then he stood up and smiled at Ji Ning, “Stay with me for a while?”
“Ah…Okay.”
Ji Ning blinked a little and took it. The unfinished coffee went out with Gu Chen, because there were many people at the door, so they specially asked the clerk to let them go out through the back door, but they exchanged Gu Chen’s autograph.
After leaving the store, the two quietly walked out of the commercial street and came to the relatively quiet riverside. At this time, it was already dark, and it was still early spring. It is not easy for people to recognize Gu Chen.
“Give.”
Gu Chen smiled and handed the other signature to Ji Ning. Ji Ning happily thanked him and put it away. The two strolled by the riverside for a while, but the temperature was really low and Ji Ning was still dressed. Little, the body that was warmed up just after drinking coffee is starting to get cold again.
“It’s very cold?”
Gu Chen noticed that Ji Ning’s ears were red from the cold, he took off his scarf and put it on Ji Ning’s neck: “Will it be better?”
“No no no, senior, I am. How can I use your scarf…” The
scarf smelled of gentle men’s perfume, like the good smell of Gu Chen’s body, which made Ji Ning’s face turn red instantly, even similar to his own thoughts. It all popped out of my head, and I quickly took off the scarf.
“It doesn’t matter, I asked you to come out with me. I should have apologized to you.”
Gu Chen looked at Ji Ning gently, bowed his head slightly, and slowly tied the scarf with his own hands.
His fingertips caressed Ji Ning’s face and earlobe inadvertently, with a force softer than the night wind blowing, but with a temperature that cannot be ignored, it made Ji Ning’s face hot, and suddenly he didn’t dare to face it. Those deep, dark eyes.
Senior Gu really deserves to be a famous star, Ji Ning thought to himself, how could someone resist such a charm,
“Okay.” Gu Chen helped him tie the scarf, and then he seemed to remember something. Taking out his cell phone, his cell phone has always been quiet because he also turned on the mute state.
At this time, he swept the news he received, and couldn’t help showing a helpless smile. He shook his head lightly and said, “I should go back, otherwise my agent will definitely not spare me.”
“Ah, that scarf…”
Hearing He said that Ji Ning was going to take off the scarf he just put on, but Gu Chen held his hand: “It’s cold, you go back with it first, and then give it back to me.”
Ji Ning was stunned. Before she could think of how to return it to Gu Chen, she heard him say, “I told you just now that I’m filming nearby, and the crew will be here for about a week, you can go there. Find me and send you a text message after I address it.”
“Will this be a bad idea?” Ji Ning was still a little hesitant.
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.” Gu Chen raised his lips and stroked his hair, “Okay, you can go back too, it’s too cold, be careful of catching a cold.”
“That’s fine…Thank you Senior Gu.” Ji Ning I was very embarrassed, and my face turned red when I talked to Gu Chen, “How are you going back, senior?”
“Someone will pick me up, I’ll just wait here.” Gu Chen smiled at him tenderly, “Earlier. Go back to rest and contact me later.”
Ji Ning nodded, thanked him again, and left with his signature. Gu Chen stood quietly in the dark, looking at his back, the smile on his face gradually faded, thin His lips were drawn into a line, his eyelashes were lowered, and his expression darkened.
Acting again.
he thinks.
In his life, he has played many roles. When he was filming, he lived as another person. He knew that they were all illusions, but at least he thought he was real, but he didn’t think about his own identity. are all false.
He is just a thought of a deceased person. All his experiences are just fictional stories, just like the characters he played. He is also a “fictional character” himself, but he didn’t have any consciousness before.
Even now, he is still acting. He is acting in front of Ji Ning as the “Best Actor Gu Chen”. Acting has almost become his instinct. He plays it perfectly, but deep down, he knows that he is actually is resisting faintly.
He didn’t like acting in front of Ji Ning, he hoped that they could get along with each other truly.
In the previous world, he was the object of Ji Ning’s mission. Ji Ning was acting in front of him as a arrogant and indifferent genius. He didn’t know it at the time, he was attracted by Ji Ning, but he didn’t see through his true nature. On the other hand, until a lot of strange things happened, he suddenly realized that he had been kept in the dark.
He also felt confused, lost and even painful, but then he finally realized that it was not only him, but all of them, including the future, and only he had all the truth.
Now, in order to get Ji Ning’s love, all of them have entered this virtual world and pursued Ji Ning in their own way. Gu Chen is also playing his new identity. He and Ji Ning’s roles are reversed. He came to deceive Ji Ning in order to gain Ji Ning’s favor.
But Gu Chen didn’t like it. He has played so many roles, life is fake, even himself is fake, only when facing Ji Ning, he hoped that he didn’t have any pretense.
Even though everything was an illusion, his feelings for Ji Ning were real.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that his character itself is relatively close to Jiang Che, in short, Gu Chen is not as repulsive as other people about the identity of “Jiang Che”.
After having Jiang Che’s memory, he saw the way Jiang Che and Ji Ning got along. In front of Ji Ning, Jiang Che would indeed hide his emotions, but he would never deceive Ji Ning, and when Ji Ning was in front of Jiang Che, It has always been the truest and most relaxed state.
He envied Jiang Che and envied the former “him”.
If he can…
Gu Chen gently closed his eyes, the car that came to pick him up has arrived, he got in the car, lowered the window halfway, and looked at the campus under the lights and stars, Drive away slowly, into the night.
…
Ji Ning returned to the bedroom wrapped in cold air. When he pushed open the door and entered, Qin Ruwang and Ying Qianqiu were sitting on the desk under the bed. When they saw him coming back, they all looked over. Ji Ning smiled at them and talked with them. After a few chats, Qin Ruwang knew that he hadn’t had dinner yet, so he packed his favorite dishes, which made Ji Ning very grateful.
Ji Ning put away the pendant that fell and Gu Chen’s signature, and after hurriedly eating dinner, he turned on the computer and began to revise his thesis.
Yun Yuan looked at it very carefully, and he really picked a lot of faults for him. The dense red markings made Ji Ning feel ashamed. After he was put on the bed, Ji Ning stepped on the ladder to get it.
After he went to bed, he found out that Huo Wuling, who was opposite the bed, was also in the dormitory. He was sitting on the bed, leaning on the quilt by the bed, and playing with his cell phone without saying a word.
Seeing Ji Ning coming up, Huo Wuling slightly removed the phone and stared at Ji Ning for a few seconds, but he didn’t say a word. Refused to communicate with Ji Ning.
Ji Ning was so angry with him that he wanted to kick him, but for the sake of the dormitory’s peace, he held back, took down the reference book in a sullen mood, and continued to revise his thesis.
However, there was not much progress in revising the thesis, and Ning suddenly received a message from Fergie on the computer, asking him how he finally rehearsed with Alke.
After hesitating for a while, Ji Ning replied: To be honest, it’s pretty bad, he’s not in a good state today.
At the same time, he remembered what Alke said to him at the time, and he was a little disturbed. If he hadn’t fainted at the time, maybe Alke might have confessed to him. Of course, he hoped that it would be better to think more about it, otherwise He didn’t even know how to get along with this apprentice.
Sure enough, I think he is quite wrong today, and he is always absent-minded when we eat with him at night.
As Fergie said so, Ji Ning knew that he and Alke had a good relationship. They should have been friends who had known each other before going to college. Therefore, the two had more contact, and Fergie could see the problem better.
Fergie continued: I asked him what was wrong with him today, he didn’t say anything, he just ate with his head down. I joked that he might have a relationship problem, but this kid left with a plate in an instant, I I didn’t see it clearly, but his ears seemed to be red, maybe he really liked someone.
“…”
Seeing this, Ji Ning’s fingers stayed on the keyboard for a long time. He didn’t know how to answer Fergie, but Fergie was a talkative character. Even if Ji Ning didn’t say anything, he could speak to himself. go down.
Of course I had to figure out what he was thinking, but he wouldn’t tell me if he was dead or alive, and he wouldn’t tell me if he killed me. I really couldn’t do anything about it.
Fergie typed a lot of words in one breath, and finally said: So I’m not here to ask you, the vice president, come and chat with him, this kid likes you very much, if you ask, you might just told you.
I ask? Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, is this inappropriate? This is Alke’s private affairs. We are all outsiders, so don’t interfere.
Although it is said that, the state of this kid has affected our drama, and you don’t want our show to end badly, right? Fergie replied quickly, as if he had expected what he would say.
But if he asked, maybe the situation would be even worse…
Ji Ning was extremely helpless, but he couldn’t tell Fujiming about this.
But Fergie is right, they have been preparing for the drama for a long time, and they can’t make any mistakes now, and he can’t be sure whether the person Alke likes is him.
All right. That’s what he finally said to Fergie, and I’ll talk to him tomorrow.
Then it’s up to you. Fergie said, by the way, the appointment time with Mr. Zhou Rin has been set, it is six o’clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, the location has not yet been determined, were you all right at that time?
I’m fine, I can go. Jining said.
That’s fine, I’ll let you know when the location is set.
After communicating with Fergie, Ning received another news from her brother Ozel, and continued to chat with Ozel for a while. It was also very late, and it was almost time to turn off the lights in the dormitory, so Ji Ning stopped revising the paper. , went straight to sleep after taking a shower.
In his sleep, Ji Ning had a dream. I don’t know if it was because Jiang Che was mentioned many times during the day. He had a dream about Jiang Che, and what he dreamed about was when Jiang Che gave him a pendant.
That day was Ji Ning’s sixteenth birthday. In addition to celebrating with friends and family every year, he would go out to dinner with Jiang Che alone. This pendant was given to him by Jiang Che after the meal.
“Where did you buy this from?”
He couldn’t help being surprised when he got the pendant: “How come I’ve never seen it before?”
“I made it for you.”
Jiang Cheqing, who was sitting across from him The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he seemed to like seeing his surprised expression: “I also participated in the production. I carved its eyes. How about it, it should be pretty good?”
“…” Ji Ning pinched the robot circle. Huhu’s body suddenly laughed and said, “No wonder I think everything else looks good, but the eyes are particularly ugly, so you ruined it.”
“Ugly?” Jiang Che raised his eyebrows, “If you think that It’s ugly, that’s because it’s ugly in the first place, even the shop owner said that I carved it very similar, that’s not my problem.”
“You are not allowed to call it ugly, it’s much prettier than you.”
Ji Ning smiled and said Jiang Che bickered, and finally restrained his joking attitude, tied the pendant to his mobile phone, and thanked Jiang Che very seriously: “I like it very much, this is the best birthday present I have received this year, thank you, Jiang Che.”
Hearing this, Jiang Che softened the look between his brows and his eyes, rubbed Ji Ning’s hair and laughed, Ji Ning patted his hand away, and went to rub his hair.
The picture gradually fell into darkness and silence, and then turned into a blood-red light, which was the light above the emergency room. He was sitting outside the operating room, his eyes were blurred, only the crimson light was infinitely saturated. What I heard was the news that the doctor announced Jiang Che’s death.
Ji Ning suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from a nightmare. When he woke up, his eyes were sore and swollen. Almost the moment he opened, tears were already streaming down his face.
“Jining?”
Suddenly he heard a very soft voice from under the bed, it was Qin Ruwang. Ji Ning wiped her tears, stuck her head out of the bed, and saw that Qin Ruwang had changed into a sports suit, was wearing headphones, and seemed to be going downstairs for a morning run.
“I heard you cry.” Qin Ruwang’s eyes were calm, he raised his head to look at him, and asked in a low voice, “What happened to you?”
“…I had a nightmare.”
Ji Ning blinked her sour eyes, barely He smiled at Qin Ruwang. He glanced at the time on his mobile phone. It was still early at 5:50, but he couldn’t sleep either. He hesitated and asked, “Can you wait for me for a while? I want to go down with you.”
Qin Ruwang’s handsome face showed a hint of surprise, and he nodded quickly. Ji Ning didn’t waste any more time, got out of bed lightly, washed up and went downstairs with Qin Ruwang.
Because of the presence of Ji Ning, Qin Ruwang did not run. He just walked with Ji Ning on the road. He did not ask Ji Ning what he was going to do when he got down, because it was only six o’clock, and the cafeteria opened at half past six at the earliest. Speaking of the teaching building and other places, if Ji Ning didn’t want to exercise, he would just relax.
Now the genius is bright, the light is dim, and the temperature is not high. When Qin Ruwang opened his mouth, the heat he exhaled turned into a slight white mist: “Is it cold?”
“It’s okay.” He had thicker clothes, and his whole body was warm, but his hands were cold. He didn’t wear gloves, and his coat had no pockets.
Qin Ruwang looked down and saw his reddish fingertips, suddenly reached out and tore off a glove and handed it to Ji Ning, then stretched out to wrap Ji Ning’s hand in his own, and put his hand in it. own pocket.
“Ah? Thank you…”
Being held by Qin Ruwang’s hand, Ji Ning felt a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but Qin Ruwang insisted on doing it, and put a glove on his other hand. He held one hand and put it in his pocket to keep warm.
Qin Ruwang’s hand was very warm. Ji Ning’s hand was held by him, and they were placed in his pocket together.
Ruwang’s heartbeat seemed to be a bit fast… Ji Ning’s mind flashed such a thought in an instant.
But before he could think deeply, Qin Ruwang asked him, “What dream did you have just now?”
Ji Ning was silent for a while before slowly saying, “Maybe it’s because I mentioned Jiang Che yesterday, and I dreamed of him just now. , he had a car accident in the dream.”
Perhaps the warmth from his fingertips gave him a sense of security, but this time he didn’t stop talking and continued talking.
“When he died, I was very desperate. From childhood to adulthood, I only had a friend like him who talked about everything. His death hit me hard. For a moment, I even thought of dying with him. ”
But then I sometimes have such thoughts, I think Jiang Che is not dead, he just left for a while, just like he just went out the door and will come back soon.”
“These two contradictions The thoughts appeared alternately, which caused me to feel very bad for a period of time, and I had psychological counseling.” Ning laughed at himself, “Actually, until now, my psychological counseling has not completely stopped, and sometimes I will go to Herinos. At the teacher’s place, let him give me counseling and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.”
“Originally, my condition is much better, but maybe it’s because I’m too tired these days, and I’m starting to suffer from old problems again…”
Qin Ruwang listened to him quietly. After a while, when Ji Ning finished speaking, the two fell into a brief silence, and then Qin Ruwang spoke.
“Since I was very young, whenever I was in a bad mood, I would get up and watch the sunrise.”
He stopped, and Ji Ning followed him. They were facing east. The rising sun is rising little by little, and the sun is getting brighter and brighter, casting a faint light on everything.
“Day after day, year after year, the sun will always rise and dispel the darkness. Its splendor is all my longing.”
“It will take away all your sorrows.”
He turned his head, He stared into Ji Ning’s eyes.
This is not his lie. When his mother was still alive, he had to get up early to serve the nobles in the court. Sometimes he would go with his mother. Whenever he saw the daylight coming out of the east, he would forget all his troubles. .
When his mother was given to death, he was full of despair and hatred. If he was in the long night and couldn’t find any light, it was Ji Ning who lit up the darkness for him.
But at that time, he also hated Ji Ning and wanted to turn a blind eye to this brilliance, but he unknowingly coveted the warmth of the light, and the excitement in his heart became stronger day by day.
He still sees the sunrise, but his mood changes as he gets older.
In the future, he will rule over the world. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will all be owned by him. If the sky and the earth are without light, let him become the sun, the moon, the stars and the heaven and earth, and illuminate this vast world.
Later, he succeeded. He ascended to the throne of God and ruled the four seas and eight wastes. Every place where the sun shines is the land of the King of Daxia. To his subjects, he is the heaven, earth, sun and moon, but he sits on the high throne. Above, he sank into the long night and loneliness, and all that was left was the bone-chilling cold.
Only then did he know that Ji Ning was his sun, his moon, his stars and the world.
Even though he now knew that he was just another person’s incarnation, his feelings towards Ji Ning had not changed at all.
He had lived a complete life and had already owned the world, but he only lost Ji Ning.
If he could have Ji Ning, he wouldn’t care about who he was or what he would lose. He didn’t care about himself, he only cared about Ji Ning.
If only by becoming “Jiang Che”, would he have the chance to truly possess Ji Ning…
Qin Ruwang’s eyes were deep, and the strength in his hands gradually tightened, but the surrounding scene suddenly shattered, illusory. The colors faded, and he returned to the darkness.
Ji Ning collapsed in his arms, and the figures of the others also appeared, with different expressions, but they all looked at the future.
“What’s wrong?”
Huo Wuling first glanced at Ji Ning, then looked at the future, raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s going on?”
“I’m here to tell you that the operation is about to end.” The
future looked at them , said.
“Time is running out.”
