Perhaps it was because Ji Ning's expression became a little strange, which made Zhou Rin realize something. Zhou Rin quickly smiled and said, "To be precise, it's the song I ordered for you for Jiang Che."
He paused, then said, "I have a certain relationship with him, so I know you a long time ago. But I don't think you know me."
"what… "
Only then did Ji Ning react, with a stunned expression on her face.
It turns out that Mr. Zhou Rin is someone Jiang Che knows? No wonder he knew the song. But it's true that he had never heard Jiang Che mention Mr. Zhou before, and he didn't know what kind of relationship the two of them had.
At the same time, he was a little ashamed, thinking that maybe because he had received confessions one after another in the past two days, his mentality became a little strange. He even thought that Zhou Rin had also taken a fancy to him and wanted to take care of him, but based on his experience, What kind of beauty has never been seen before, how could it be possible to see him.
"This "Love" is Jiang Che's favorite song." Zhou Rin continued.
"Yes."
Ji Ning nodded, and was a little more curious about the relationship between Zhou Rin and Jiang Che. Knowing that this was Jiang Che's favorite song meant that they not only knew each other, but were not unfamiliar with their relationship, but he As Jiang Che's best friend, he never knew about Zhou Rin's existence during this period, which was actually not normal.
He smiled at Zhou Rin again and said, "It turns out that Mr. Zhou is Jiang Che's friend. I'm really happy to meet you today."
"Well." Zhou Rin responded, "Do you know why I ordered this song for him?"
Ji Ning was stunned for a while, but did not answer immediately, but thought that it was probably because he missed Jiang Che.
"Because he likes you."
Zhou Rin looked directly into Ji Ning's eyes and said in a low voice, "You know, Ji Ning? Jiang Che likes you."
"… "
Ji Ning was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Che likes him
how can that be
As if being hit by a heavy object on the head, Ji Ning was stunned for a few seconds. The first reaction was that Zhou Rin was lying, because it was so ridiculous, it was like saying that he and Jiang Che were actually brothers.
But it doesn't make sense, why did Mr. Zhou lie to him, what good is it? And looking at his expression, it should not be deceiving or ridiculing him, but really believing.
Is it the wrong object? This is what Ji Ning came up with next. Maybe Jiang Che had someone he liked, and it was Mr. Zhou who mistook this person for him.
But this is also a bit strange. He and Jiang Che have been inseparable for so many years, and he has never heard of who he likes. How did Mr. Zhou know
Zhou Rin watched his expression change quietly, and suddenly asked, "You have no impression of this matter?"
"No..." Ji Ning shook her head, looking blank.
"Sorry, maybe I said something I shouldn't have said."
Zhou Rin walked to the sink and rinsed his hands briefly. He lowered his eyes and said, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. I'm sorry for bothering you. Let's go back."
Ji Ning nodded mechanically, followed behind Zhou Rin, and returned to the dining table. Later, he rarely spoke again, his expression was a little low, and he seemed to be thinking about something all the time.
Zhou Rin held the wine glass and chatted and laughed with the two teachers, but his eyes never completely left Ji Ning's body. Noticing Ji Ning's changing mood, he took a sip and sighed softly.
He knew that what he represented was Jiang Che's contradictory mood.
On the one hand, Jiang Che wanted Ji Ning to know his love for him, but on the other hand, due to various factors, he had always been holding back, and it was reflected in his thinking. "Brother" appeared, namely "Zhou Rin" and "Zhou Cun".
He represented Jiang Che's forbearance, while "elder brother" Zhou Cun represented Jiang Che's good wishes. In his imagination, Ji Ning responded to his emotions, and the two fell into a sweet love, but this also Just imagining, in fact, the real Jiang Che is still in secret love.
So his "brother" is not a part of Jiang Che, just a virtual image. The only real thought that exists is him, only "Zhou Rin".
So in his world, he himself is like Jiang Che. He can't express the emotions in his heart, dare not express them, and let himself fall into contradiction and pain. Until he reunites with Ji Ning again, he can't bear it any longer. Only to pour out all his love.
He is the forbearance in Jiang Che's heart, but now, he doesn't want to hide this emotion anymore.
Compared with other thoughts that resisted Jiang Che, he was willing to accept Jiang Che's identity. If he can truly become "Jiang Che", then in the future, whether it is sweet or painful, it will belong to him alone.
So now, he at least let Ji Ning begin to gradually realize "Jiang Che"'s love for him—
After dinner, everyone officially said goodbye. The two teachers drove home and walked to the underground parking lot together. The three students planned to go back to school together. Zhou Rin stood behind, watching their backs, and suddenly called out, "Jining. ."
"Mr. Zhou?"
Ji Ning turned around and saw Zhou Rin beckoning to him, so he let Foggy and the other girls go first, because he wondered if Zhou Rin would still talk about Jiang Che.
He returned to Zhou Rin and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"You forgot something with me."
Zhou Rin took out the packaged gift from the briefcase and handed it to Ji Ning: "It's the CD of "Love"."
"Do you want me to help transfer it to Teacher Li?" Ji Ning asked. He still remembered that Zhou Rin had said at the dining table that he would give the teacher a CD.
"I'll give her her share later." Zhou Rin shook his head and smiled, "This is for you, you can listen to it when you're okay."
Ji Ning was stunned. He wanted to decline, but when he thought of what happened just now, he suddenly changed his attitude. He took the CD and said at the same time, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"and also… "
Zhou Rin spoke softly, suddenly leaned over, placed a light kiss on Ji Ning's cheek, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, let's go back."
Ji Ning suddenly opened her eyes wide, showing a bewildered expression. Zhou Rin stroked his hair and said, "Don't worry about it, it's just a parting kiss."
"Goodbye, Ji Ning."
After saying goodbye to Ji Ning again, Zhou Rin watched his figure disappear into the crowd. Then he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. The light around him was getting darker and darker, and he gradually exited the virtual world and came to the future. .
The future received his memory, moved for a while, and asked, "You didn't show him your heart?"
"I have already said."
Zhou Rin smiled slightly.
"I told him that Jiang Che likes him."
"And I'm also 'Jiang Che', isn't it?"
…
Ji Ning returned to the dormitory with the CD, unpacked it, turned on the computer, put the CD in the CD-ROM drive, plugged in the headphones, and listened to the songs inside.
The sweet female voice rang softly. In the following time, he sat in front of the computer and listened to the song. Even when he fell asleep, the sound of the music seemed to be still echoing in his ears.
He dreamed of Jiang Che again. In the sun-drenched room, Jiang Che leaned on the reclining chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, and the speakers placed next to it played a beautiful melody. Jiang Che beat the beat slowly with his fingers, closing the Appreciate quietly.
In the dream, he pushed the door and entered, and the sound of his movements was very soft, but Jiang Che noticed his arrival at the first time, opened his eyes immediately, with a smile on his lips, beckoned to him and said, "Come and join us. Listen to the song."
He moved to the side of the reclining chair, and Ji Ning walked over, sitting on the edge of the reclining chair, Jiang Che leaned on his shoulder, Ji Ning complained that he was heavy, Jiang Che laughed, but did not let go, instead He put the pillow on his shoulder completely, and put his own weight on him.
"Who sang this? What's its name?"
Ji Ning didn't move him, so he could only give up and asked casually.
"It's an unknown singer, you haven't heard of it. As for the name of the song..."
Jiang Che's face was pressed against Ji Ning's shoulder, keeping a low angle. He raised his eyes to look at Ji Ning, and Ji Ning just happened to be looking down at him as well, and the two looked at each other.
At this moment, Ji Ning felt that the light in Jiang Che's eyes was extremely bright.
"It's 'love'."
He heard Jiang Che say softly.
…
Ji Ning woke up from her sleep.
This time, he didn't cry, but there was still a little throbbing. He touched his chest, but the rapid heartbeat could not be completely calmed down.
Suddenly, he heard a soft sound from under the bed, so he moved to the bedside and looked down. It was Qin Ruwang who was packing his backpack, so he lowered his voice and asked softly, "Are you going home?"
Qin Ruwang's home is in the local area. His family conditions are very good, and it is not far from the school. However, he still chose to live in the house and became roommates with Ji Ning and the other three.
"Yes." Qin Ruwang responded and looked up at Ji Ning, "Would you like to go down to breakfast with me?"
Today is Saturday morning. Ji Ning didn't set an alarm. He originally wanted to sleep more, but now he is surprisingly awake. Maybe it's because a lot of things have happened in the past few days. No sleepiness.
It felt good to go downstairs with Qin Ruwang for a walk that day. When Ji Ning recalled watching the sunrise with Qin Ruwang, he felt a little relieved, so he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, wait for me. I'll go down with you in a while."
