The process of waking up this time is not unexpected, it is still the same as the ending in the movie.
The infected people on the earth die one by one because their lifespan is up, and there are fewer and fewer, but the power of the pure ones is getting stronger and stronger, and finally they become the masters of the world again.
The difference is that Shen Heng is no longer alone, and by his side has always been accompanied by Du Yan.
Until the last city was cleared, the two sat on the roof of the tallest building in that city, watching the setting sun whose outline had become clear in the distance.
Shen Heng looked sideways at Du Yan and asked, "This is the sunset scene I saw before the war, and I can finally let you see it today."
Du Yan smiled and said, "I now completely believe what you said at the beginning."
Shen Heng didn't ask what Du Yan was referring to, he just lowered his head and kissed Du Yan's lips, and then everything around him gradually blurred like ink, and finally turned into nothingness.
***
Although it's only been a few days since the last time he woke up, but after a long life in a dream, Du Yan couldn't calm down for a while.
When Du Yan's consciousness came to his senses, he realized that something was wrong, a familiar feeling of something wrong.
Du Yan opened his eyes, and he found Shao Lingheng's face in front of him, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Familiar because every day in the dream world, he can see this face when he wakes up; strange because Shao Lingheng looks the same as Shen Heng or has some differences.
Du Yan recalled that in the year he was preparing for the job before applying to be Shao Lingheng's assistant, he had studied almost all of Shao Lingheng's films and read a lot of materials related to these films.
He still remembered a report that when Shao Lingheng was filming "The Last Hero on Earth", in order to perfectly interpret the feeling of an infected person in the end of the world, he exercised madly and strictly controlled his diet.
Only in just a few months, the appearance of a long and graceful gentleman in front of him has become the dark-skinned and muscular infected person Shen Heng in the movie.
Du Yan looked at Shao Lingheng's face and felt that the characters in the dream actually had the shadow of Shao Lingheng himself, and they were not exactly the same as the characters shown in the movie.
He suddenly felt a little puzzled, whether those who got along with him in the dream could be regarded as a certain side of Shao Lingheng.
"Du Yan, Du Yan, are you okay?"
Xiao Ba's voice rang out, awakening Du Yan from his contemplation.
Du Yan was stunned for a moment, realizing that now is not the time to be in a daze, it is the best policy to leave immediately. The situation this time is still abnormal, but it is surprisingly similar to the last time he woke up from the dream world, which makes Du Yan not feel strange.
He didn't dare to act rashly, and he didn't want to use the unreliable method taught by Xiaoba last time.
After working in the dreamland for more than a hundred years, he finally managed to eat a delicious meal. If Shao Lingheng swallowed the nightmare energy back in another accident, then Du Yan would probably want to strangle the actor on the bed on the spot.
Du Yan's waist was still held by Shao Lingheng's hands, but this time, the situation was better than the last time, because Shao Lingheng didn't seem to have any signs of waking up.
This situation is normal. The time span of this dream world is too large. Even Du Yan, who is in the blood of Birch, took a while to fully wake up, not to mention Shao Lingheng.
Du Yan thought for a while, tried to move his body, and the hands around his waist tightened even more when he tried to break free.
He thought for a while, leaned over and whispered beside Shao Lingheng's ear, "Shen Heng, you are so strong that it hurts me."
As soon as the voice fell, the hand on his waist relaxed, and Du Yan directly seized the opportunity to roll over and get out of bed.
This is a kind of tacit understanding between him and Shen Heng in the dream world. After leaving the First Research Institute, although Du Yan slowly transformed into an infected person, his physique can only be said to be much better than his previous self.
Du Yan's physique is still vastly different from Shen Heng's, which causes Du Yan to accidentally hurt when Shen Heng is too excited and out of control at some unspeakable times.
Later, Shen Heng didn't even dare to touch him again because he was worried about hurting Du Yan, but it was not a problem to hold back abruptly when he was in love. In the end, Du Yan came up with a solution.
He gave a hint in Shen Heng's spirit, as long as he said the words "it hurts", no matter what the situation was, Shen Heng would hold back his strength and let go.
Du Yan thought that Shao Lingheng should still be immersed in Shen Heng's role and did not come out, so he tried to say such a sentence, and it really worked.
He glanced at the man on the bed and saw that the sky was already bright, so he didn't delay any longer and left the room lightly.
The door of the room was lightly closed, and Shao Lingheng's eyes opened, and his eyes were so clear that he didn't want to look like he just woke up from a deep sleep.
Shao Lingheng looked at the direction the man had just left, frowning slightly, his eyes deep. After a while, he raised his hand and touched his ear, feeling a little hot there.
Du Yan didn't know that Shao Lingheng woke up immediately after he left. If he had known, he would probably not have sat on the ground beside the window in a daze digesting the food, but would have chosen to leave with a package.
This morning, Shao Lingheng's schedule was not too intense. He didn't have too many scenes left in this movie, and he didn't arrange any work in the future.
Now Shao Lingheng is not as crazy as Saburo like in earlier years. His position in the film industry has been very stable, and the scripts he has received are few and exquisite, so there is a gap for a while after the film is finished.
As Shao Lingheng's life assistant, he has been busy all the time. Du Yan rarely has time today to savor the delicious aftertaste.
He looked at the golden red sun that had completely leaped beyond the horizon, and felt the satisfaction that rose from the depths of his soul.
Du Yan suddenly sighed and said, "I don't think this feeling is a long absence..."
Xiao Ba couldn't understand Du Yan's meaning for a while, and asked, "Although your last meal was absorbed by Shao Lingheng, the last meal was ten days ago, so it wasn't too long."
Du Yan said: "Strictly speaking, I have stayed in this dream world for more than a hundred years, but this kind of satisfaction comes only after eating a nightmare. I thought about it carefully and found that when I stayed with Shen Heng , I often have this feeling, maybe not only Shen Heng..."
After speaking, Du Yan didn't wait for Xiao Ba to ask again, and got up and walked to the bathroom.
He was not ready to ponder what it meant when he was with Shao Lingheng in a dream, to bring the same satisfaction as eating a nightmare.
After Du Yan finished washing up, he began to face the mirror and began the essential disguising process every morning.
However, those words just now still affected Du Yan's state, which made him a little absent-minded.
Just after the preparations were finished, Du Yan heard a familiar voice coming from the direction of the bathroom door.
"Why do you paint yourself like this?"
Shao, Shao Lingheng? Du Yan instantly recognized who the owner of the voice was, his hands stiffened, and he almost missed the shadow on his eyelids.
Fortunately, Du Yan's biggest advantage is his calmness. In this case, he was caught in the face. He just put down what was in his hand and turned to look at Shao Lingheng, who was standing at the door of the bathroom.
"Brother Shao, go out and talk?"
The expression on Shao Lingheng's face showed no clue, and he didn't seem to be too surprised that Du Yan made up to make himself ugly.
The two sat down on the sofa by the window, and the sofa remained facing the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Du Yan got up and poured water to Shao Lingheng, then asked, "Brother Shao, how did you come in, did I forget to lock the door?"
Du Yan's room was on the same floor as Shao Lingheng's, not far from each other.
Du Yan only thought that he forgot to lock the door, and Shao Lingheng went out early again.
Unexpectedly, Shao Lingheng said directly: "I booked this room. There are two room cards. I only gave one to you, and the other is for me."
"..." Du Yan was speechless, he didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Because Shao Lingheng's behavior is too unbelievable, what's the matter with opening the assistant's door with the room card? But the man in front of him is his boss, a parent in two senses.
Du Yan didn't want to blame the other party for losing his job unless he had to, so he couldn't ask the other party why he sneaked into his room early in the morning.
For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Seeing that Du Yan was silent, Shao Lingheng asked the first question again: "Why do you make yourself look like this?"
He paused, frowned slightly, and added, "It doesn't look good."
Du Yan had long imagined the situation where the camouflage was discovered, and he had also prepared a speech.
He replied directly: "Brother Shao, don't laugh at me when I say it. I don't like people paying too much attention to me, so I do this."
Shao Lingheng didn't understand, and asked again, "If you don't like too many people's attention, why would you choose to be my assistant? In this circle, you can't avoid getting attention."
Du Yan was stunned by the question, but he couldn't say that he was here just for the delicious taste of Shao Lingheng. This kind of statement sounds perverted. After speaking, the other party might call the police.
"because… "
Du Yan was rarely at a loss, and under all kinds of entanglements, he could only choose the most credible statement.
"Because I have always admired you and liked you very much. When I was in college, I wanted to work by your side after graduation."
Xiao Ba couldn't help but praise Du Yan's eagerness and wisdom, and said, "Du Xiaoyan, you are really excellent. This kind of standard fan speech is so convincing."
However, when Du Yan said these words, he was ready to be fired. He knew Shao Lingheng's taboos, because before joining the job, Qian Xing repeatedly confirmed that Du Yan was not a fan of Shao Lingheng before he chose to hire him.
Shao Lingheng's reaction was completely beyond Du Yan's expectations, he just stared at Du Yan in such a daze, and did not say a word for a long time.
Du Yan looked at his ears and seemed to be a little red, and then the redness spread to Shao Lingheng's face.
The room fell silent again.
