Silent night, unfamiliar city, dark streets.
Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang parked the car on the side of the road and looked at each other silently. If it wasn't for Xie Ruoming's phone call tonight, Wen Jianing might have sex with Lu Jinlang on the big bed in the hotel room, and after that, he would rest his head on Lu Jinlang's shoulder and sleep peacefully.
It's been so long since he wanted to reveal his identity to Lu Jinlang the last time, Wen Jianing has been thinking about whether he should not be hasty, and whether he should consider the possible consequences. He will also covet Lu Jinlang's warmth, and he is also afraid that a sudden impulse will have an unpredictable impact on their relationship.
But the reason why impulse is called impulse is that it is unpredictable.
The first time I almost said it on impulse, and this time it was still on impulse, and there was no second phone call that suddenly interrupted their conversation.
The car window was closed, and Lu Jinlang breathed with alcohol. He said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
This sentence has been said, and of course Wen Jianing has no room for regret, so he said to Lu Jinlang again and solemnly: "I said, I am Wen Jianing."
Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand, put it lightly on Wen Jianing's shoulder, and said, "Don't make trouble, go back and rest."
Wen Jianing asked him, "Do you think I'm out of my mind?"
Lu Jinlang didn't deny it, just said, "You need to rest now."
Wen Jianing shook his head, "No, I don't need to rest. As I told you, I'm not Ke Xinhang, and the soul in this body does not belong to his original owner."
The two of them have known each other for so long, and the time together is not short, Lu Jinlang could not imagine how he would say such a thing except for the other party's sudden mental disorder.
He reached out and rubbed his forehead, and said, "Wen Jianing has been dead for a long time."
Wen Jianing opened his mouth and gave an accurate time, it was the second day of the Academy Awards, and it was also the exact time of his death, "I drank too much alcohol that night and couldn't sleep, and when I woke up again. , is already in the current body."
"What is this?" Lu Jinlang was suddenly a little unhappy, "A fantasy story?"
Wen Jianing stared at him blankly, "I also want to know, maybe it is."
Lu Jinlang tugged at his clothes irritably. He found that he didn't like hearing these words, and he said, "What exactly are you trying to prove?"
Wen Jianing said, "Prove my identity. The day I woke up was my funeral. I went to the cemetery and saw you at the time. I didn't lie, I wasn't crazy, I told the truth."
However, Lu Jinlang felt that he could not accept these truths. He said, "Let's move out after we go back, whether it's moving back to the original apartment or moving to my villa, we can't continue to live in that house anyway. Now, you're delusional."
"This is not a delusion!" Wen Jianing suddenly felt powerless, because no matter how he explained, the people he loved were unwilling to believe him. He even grabbed a handful of his hair, trying his best to think about what else he could say. Come and prove yourself to Lu Jinlang.
But Lu Jinlang obviously didn't want to continue listening. He reached out and hugged Wen Jianing and said, "Would you like to go back to the hotel first?"
Wen Jianing didn't go against his intentions this time. It was not appropriate for the two of them to quarrel here. They didn't need reporters at all. As long as a passerby took a photo with his mobile phone, they would be in trouble.
On the way back to the hotel, the two fell silent.
Lu Jinlang opened the car window, and the cool night breeze quickly blew the alcohol away from him. His thinking began to become clearer, but at the same time, it became more and more confusing. He began to wonder whether Wen Jianing's words were true or false, and he looked out the car window in a daze.
When the car had arrived at the hotel, Wen Jianing parked the car in the hotel parking lot and took the elevator upstairs with Lu Jinlang. There is surveillance in the elevator, so the two restrained their distance and didn't say a word.
Swiping his card to enter the room, the moment Wen Jianing stretched out his hand to lock the door, he repeated again: "Believe it or not, I am Wen Jianing."
Lu Jinlang walked over to the bed and sat down to change his shoes. He looked up at Wen Jianing, "You need to rest."
Wen Jianing's words have plucked up all his courage. He couldn't back down again at this time. He stood in front of Lu Jinlang, "Why don't you listen to me?"
Lu Jinlang had already changed into his slippers, so he raised his head to look at him and said, "You want me to listen to what you said? How did you come back to life from the dead?"
Wen Jianing looked at him and stretched out his arms to hug his head.
If the person sitting here today is Wein Cuilan, he can find 110,000 reasons to convince Ween Cuilan to believe him. But the person sitting here is Lu Jinlang. What Lu Jinlang knows about Wen Jianing can be learned by others through various sources. It seems that no matter what he says, there is no way to convince Lu Jinlang.
The intersection of the two of them was probably during the filming of "The Showdown". But it was also out of the nature of work, and there was no private contact.
After a brief silence, Wen Jianing said: "I came out to act before I was 20 years old. I started running from the dragon set. The first play was a martial arts film. I was accidentally hit by a prop rock on the scene and hit my back. It hurts. For a few days..." He began to elaborate on what had happened since his debut.
Lu Jinlang didn't say a word, just sat beside the bed and listened.
Wen Jianing talked about it for a long time, some of his experiences were very detailed, and some of them were just a few strokes.
"The first time I saw you was actually a dinner party. Maybe you don't remember it. You were not very famous at the time. I was dragged to accompany you, but they were very polite to you."
This is a small detail, Wen Jianing doesn't know if Lu Jinlang still remembers, if he remembers the first time the two of them met, he should know that he didn't lie. Because this kind of dinner has never been reported, people outside have no way to understand the situation.
Lu Jinlang still didn't speak, and he became more and more silent.
Wen Jianing later shared a lot of details about the filming of "The Showdown". In the end, he said: "I have a birthmark at the root of my thigh, which is not large or obvious, but my mother knows it. She is still there. , you can call her if you have any questions. I can also give you her phone number in Canada."
Lu Jinlang looked at Wen Jianing, and immediately took out his mobile phone, but he did not call Wen Cuilan. He called Lu Yunan and said, "Yunan, help me check a few things." Then he gave orders one by one, all related to the things Wen Jianing told him just now.
Then he hung up the phone and said to Wen Jianing, "Since you must let me check, I will check immediately."
It was impossible for Lu Yunan to get the news immediately, not to mention that it was so late, and it was time to sleep.
It was only the first time that two people were lying on the same bed without touching each other at all.
Wen Jianing turned over, turned his back to Lu Jinlang, and opened his eyes to see the darkness in front of him. He knew that Lu Jinlang was unhappy, but he didn't even know why Lu Jinlang was unhappy.
Because even Lu Jinlang didn't understand what this sudden anger was all about? The people around him lied to him? Isn't he Ke Xinhang? Or did he insist on saying that he was Wen Jianing
In fact, at this time, if Wen Jianing was really just Ke Xinhang, he might turn around and hug his lover who was twelve years older than him, acting like a spoiled child to make him not unhappy, but unfortunately he is not. Although everything seems to be developing in a bad direction now, he does not intend to stop there. This opportunity to gather courage may not be available next time.
That night, Wen Jianing suffered from insomnia for a long time. As for whether Lu Jinlang slept well, he did not know. It was almost in the middle of the night, and he was tired and fell asleep, but the whole sleep kept dreaming. He dreamed that he and Lu Jinlang were arguing. Later, Lu Jinlang said: Since you are Wen Jianing, let's break up. Then he woke up, only to find it was still dark, and he slept less than four hours in total.
After opening his eyes and froze for a while, Wen Jianing pretended to be asleep again, turned over inadvertently, and leaned against Lu Jinlang's side gently, his forehead touching Lu Jinlang's shoulder.
After a while, Lu Jinlang raised his arms and put his arms around him, but Wen Jianing didn't know whether he was asleep or awake.
Later, he seemed to be in a daze and fell asleep for a while. When he woke up again, Wen Jianing saw that Lu Jinlang was sitting on the head of the bed and was talking on the phone.
Seeing him open his eyes, Lu Jinlang got out of bed with his phone and walked towards the balcony.
During this process, Lu Jinlang only made a light "um" twice.
Wen Jianing sat up, leaning his back against the head of the bed.
After a while, Lu Jinlang walked in from the balcony, with the cool morning air, he walked to the bed and sat down, touched Wen Jianing's face gently, and said, "Awake?"
Wen Jianing was a little puzzled. He raised his hand, covered the back of Lu Jinlang's hand, and said, "Isn't it Yun An's call?"
Lu Jinlang didn't answer him, but said, "Want to take a shower? Ready to go down for breakfast."
Wen Jianing grabbed Lu Jinlang's hand, "Is it Yunan's phone number? What did he say?"
Lu Jinlang's face darkened slightly.
Wen Jianing saw his expression and suddenly realized that he was running away. He realized in a trance that Lu Jinlang was not ignorant, but he was trying to deny it, because what he liked was not the one who was two years older than him. A mature man, he has always liked young, beautiful and youthful newcomers in the entertainment industry.
A young man who has just entered the entertainment industry is clear and pure, just like Yan Ruowei in the beginning. And the longer he was in this line, the more he got contaminated, and Lu Jinlang gradually lost interest, just like Yan Ruowei he met later.
No matter what, Wen Jianing was definitely not someone Lu Jinlang would like.
Wen Jianing was restraining himself not to be angry, but he squeezed Lu Jinlang's hand tighter and tighter, and finally threw it away, saying, "You don't have to escape from reality, what did Yunan say to you just now? You believe me. no?"
Lu Jinlang looked at him silently, and after a while he said, "I hope I don't believe it."
Lu Yunan was very reliable in his work. He drove back without sleep last night, helped Lu Jinlang find out a lot of information he wanted to know, and even went to the Red Forest Bar where Ke Xinhang used to be stationed for this purpose. There, he heard the same message given by many people who had been with Ke Xinhang before, that is, before he entered the draft, his personality suddenly changed a lot.
In the past, Ke Xinhang was a bit arrogant and introverted, preferring to sing and play guitar, and like to sing original songs written by himself and unpopular English songs. He is completely two people from Ke Xinhang who they see on TV now. Including the draft has completely changed a character.
Lu Yunan also asked Su Shan, the boss of the Red Forest. Su Shan didn't say anything, but Lu Yunan asked tentatively that Ke Xinhang was no longer the Ke Xinhang of the past, right? Su Shan just raised his head and gave him a deep look, without denying anything.
There is still nothing to prove that Ke Xinhang next to Lu Jinlang is actually Wen Jianing, but at this point, Lu Jinlang believes more than he doesn't. In the final analysis, it is because he is familiar with his lover, and he thinks that he is not crazy or deceitful. .
Wen Jianing felt a little hurt because Lu Jinlang was unwilling to accept it. He found that he was thinking too well. He thought that when the two of them were together, they were himself from beginning to end. Lu Jinlang should not resist, but could accept it more easily.
They didn't quarrel and didn't know what to fight for.
Lu Jinlang said: "It's time to get up, there is still shooting today."
So Wen Jianing got up and went to the bathroom.
When he stood in front of the mirror, he thought that even if he was disfigured, Lu Jinlang might not be so hard to accept.
Today's shooting didn't go well. The reason was that the director was in a bad state. He stared at Wen Jianing in a daze several times, as if he had completely forgotten what he was doing.
However, Lu Jinlang seemed to be looking at another Wen Jianing through Wen Jianing. It may be ambiguous to say this, but he can't help but recall the Wen Jianing he knew in the past.
The two of them have known each other for a long time. They have developed their own circles in this circle and have their own friends, but they have very little interaction with each other. Occasionally met, nodded and shook hands, and behaved like old friends to the outside world, but when it was only the two of them in private, the atmosphere was cold and nothing to say.
Lu Jinlang couldn't accept it, Wen Jianing felt it, but he didn't fully understand it.
The original Wen Jianing, handsome and elegant, is very good as a man. As for Lu Jinlang, who naturally likes men, of course he doesn't have a bad impression on good men, but as an adult, Lu Jinlang knows how to control his feelings very well. There is not so much love at first sight in this world, even if it is a good and beautiful man, as long as Lu Jinlang judges it to be impossible, he will not have any more thoughts, because it is meaningless.
He likes young newcomers who are just entering the entertainment industry. Pure simplicity is one thing, but more importantly, he will measure the possibilities, and will not cause himself intractable troubles.
In the past, Wen Jianing was a goal that Lu Jinlang never thought about, so there would never be a start between them. This has nothing to do with whether Wen Jianing is older than Lu Jinlang, and whether he has been contaminated with the vulgarity of the entertainment industry. It doesn't matter.
However, the two of them have now closed the channel of communication with each other, so Wen Jianing will not know what Lu Jinlang is thinking, he just thinks what he has seen and heard.
What Lu Jinlang couldn't accept was that he believed that Wen Jianing and Ke Xinhang were two people at all. The words the other party said now is equivalent to telling him again and again that I am not the person you used to love, but another person.
Even though he knew and accepted that Ke Xinhang's body had always been Wen Jianing's soul, as long as he thought of Wen Jianing, he still felt that it was another person, and he couldn't equate them.
It's not that he doesn't love him anymore, he just feels angry and resists. If he said it at the beginning, or never said it, it would not be the current situation.
It's true that Lu Jinlang is a mature and stable man, but no one can become an invincible barrier emotionally.
