It rained in Jiangcheng yesterday, and the garden downstairs in the hospital was still wet. The cold air was mixed with the smell of soil. Lu Ji looked down at Lin Jiayu, who was shrinking in the cold, and frowned and said, "What can't you say upstairs? Why do you have to go downstairs and blow the cold wind?"
Lin Jiayu looked at Lu Ji. He was very bright and handsome when he was young, and he was still eye-catching when he grew up. But Lin Jiayu still felt that he was not as high-spirited as he was when he was young, and there was a hint of gloom between his brows.
Young Lu Ji likes Zhu Xingyao. He and Jiang Tu have completely opposite personalities. The only thing in common is that they both have their own pride. When everyone misunderstood that he made those star lights, he did not deny it at the first time. Zhu Xingyao wrote a letter to promise him, whether he was obsessed or reluctant out of selfishness.
By the time Xing Xingdeng and Lu Ji became campus legends, that old secret had already been buried deep in their hearts and was even more difficult to speak out.
Sometimes Lin Jiayu would wonder, if Lu Ji had confessed to Zhu Xingyao earlier, and they had not been together, and those secrets had not been kept in his heart for many years, would he have lived a much easier and more carefree life
"Lu Ji, haven't you let it go yet?" Lin Jiayu suddenly asked.
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, he looked ahead and smiled: "There is nothing that cannot be put down."
Lin Jiayu didn't quite understand what he meant. She thought for a moment and asked again, "If, I mean if, the ten-year-old high-rise post in No. 1 Middle School, the most romantic rumor on campus, these rumors that once belonged to you were revealed, would you be very angry or unable to accept it?"
Lu Ji turned to look at her: "What do you want to say?"
"I... When I was in college, I wrote a book called "Waiting for the Stars". The prototypes were Zhu Xingyao, Jiang Tu, and you, or rather, our group of people. Later, Jiang Tu went abroad, and I locked it away. After the school celebration, some things happened, and now they have been dug up by fans. Maybe everyone will know it soon." Lin Jiayu spoke faster and faster, afraid of being interrupted, and afraid of losing courage. At the end, he hesitated, "You..."
Lu Ji was silent for a while, then raised his lips and said, "What about me? You are so nervous, are you afraid that I will hit you or scold you?"
Lin Jiayu: “…”
After a long silence, Lu Ji spoke calmly, "You can write your book however you want. Those things... were not originally done by me. It's not a good feeling to always live in other people's stories and legends as a supporting role." He looked down at her, "Are many people reading this book?"
Lin Jiayu was stunned and nodded.
Lu Ji lowered his eyes. He recalled the way Jiang Tu hugged Zhu Xingyao just now. He was distracted for a moment, but soon regained his composure: "Then you should work harder. The new book will sell well. Let those who misunderstood know the truth."
Lu Ji turned and went upstairs. Lin Jiayu looked back at his back in a daze.
She didn't understand whether he was joking or really wanted to put everything back to where it was and let it go completely. Lu Ji was Lu Ji and Jiang Tu was Jiang Tu.
Lu Ji returned to the ward and received a WeChat message from Lin Jiayu: "Are you really not afraid? Many people may scold you."
"Is that girl really just my deskmate?" Grandpa Lu leaned on the hospital bed and looked at his grandson cheerfully. "I think she is pretty and pleasing to the eye. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, you can try to woo her."
"Grandpa, what are you thinking about?" Lu Ji smiled.
Grandpa Lu sighed: "Are you still thinking about that girl Zhu Xingyao? You pursued her so hard before, and it's hard to forget her after we broke up..."
"Grandpa." Lu Ji interrupted him and said helplessly, "What happened back then was a bit of a misunderstanding, and I didn't try too hard to pursue it."
"What's the misunderstanding?" Grandpa Lu asked.
Lu Ji lowered his head and replied to Lin Jiayu: "There's nothing to be afraid of."
Lu Ji poured a glass of water for Grandpa and sat down beside the bed. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, let me tell you a story."
After coming out of the hospital, Jiang Tu and Zhu Xingyao got into Lao Liu's car together. The two of them had hardly slept all night. Jiang Tu let Zhu Xingyao lean on him and whispered, "Sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get there."
Zhu Xingyao looked up at him and said, "Let Lao Liu take you there first."
Jiang Tu looked down at her and said, "No need."
"Then I'll go back with you, and you can take me back in the evening." Zhu Xingyao hugged his waist and turned to look ahead, "Uncle Liu, let's go to Jiang Tu's house."
Lao Liu coughed and said, "Okay."
Jiang Tu paused. Zhu Xingyao had already closed her eyes. The car drove out. He heard her whisper, "Brother Tu, when you were in high school, you saw me and Lu Ji together. You must have felt bad, right?"
Jiang Tu was stunned for a moment. He rested his chin on the top of her head, hummed softly, and then said, "So, I reported it."
Zhu Xingyao was silent, then asked: "What about now?"
Will it still feel uncomfortable
"Now?" Jiang Tu kissed her hair and whispered, "Now I have you."
Zhu Xingyao placed her hand on his chest and tilted her head back to give him a kiss on the chin.
Jiang Tu took her hand and squeezed it.
No one lived in the house for the first few days, so it was a bit cold and gloomy.
Jiang Tu turned on the air conditioner in the master bedroom. Zhu Xingyao lay down in it and said, "It's so cold."
He lifted the quilt and hugged her from behind. The man's body temperature was high, and Zhu Xingyao soon felt warm in his embrace. She sighed with comfort and said drowsily before falling asleep: "You are warmer than a hot water bottle."
Jiang Tu laughed, his body and mind relaxed, and he fell asleep holding her in his arms.
It was around six in the evening, the sky outside the window was dark, and when Zhu Xingyao woke up, there was no one around him.
She put on her slippers and walked out of the room.
The aroma wafted out from the kitchen. She walked to the dining room and saw two dishes already on the table. Jiang Tu, wearing a black sweater and standing tall, was cooking with his back to her. Zhu Xingyao walked over and hugged him from behind: "Wow, it smells so good!"
Jiang Tu lowered his head and hugged his thin white wrist tightly, then looked back at her: "Are you hungry?"
Zhu Xingyao said: "I'm starving to death."
The last dish was ready and he turned off the fire.
The two sat down face to face. Zhu Xingyao couldn't wait to taste the ribs and looked at him happily: "It's delicious, better than my mother's."
Jiang Tu smiled and said suddenly: "Your mother called you just now, and I answered the phone."
Zhu Xingyao blinked her eyes: "Brother Tu, I find you are very brave. Last time you dared to answer my father's call at my house, and now you take me home and answer my mother's call." Seeing Jiang Tu's expression froze, she couldn't help laughing, "What did my mother say?"
Jiang Tu raised his eyes to look at her: "Your mother asked me to go to your house for dinner next time."
Zhu Xingyao was stunned: "Really?"
Jiang Tu's mouth curved slightly, and Zhu Xingyao felt for a moment that he had a little more vigor and spirit in his eyes, something he didn't have when he was young. Zhu Xingyao thought about it and felt that it might be the effect of those love letters, and her parents were trying to understand and accept her boyfriend.
After dinner, Jiang Tu called Ding Xiang’s wife.
Ding Xiang's wife was moved and said, "There is nothing special going on right now. He should wake up tomorrow. You can't enter the ward even if you come. I will tell you when he is transferred to the ordinary ward. You can come back to see him."
Jiang Tu hung up the phone and was about to send Zhu Xingyao home when a message suddenly broke out in the class WeChat group.
Someone posted a screenshot of a Weibo post.
The third most searched topic is #Zhu Xingyao, the prototype of "Waiting for the Stars"#
"Hurry up and look at the hot searches! This is so shocking! Lin Jiayu from Class 2 next door wrote a book called "Waiting for the Stars", and now the original prototype has been exposed. The star lights back then were not made by Lu Ji, but by Jiang Tu! There are many things you can't imagine!"
"It's locked on Jinjiang. I went to the Daowen website to read it. Jiang Tu has had a crush on Zhu Xingyao since high school."
"It seems... they are together now. I looked through Jiang Lu's previous live broadcast and he mentioned his brother and sister-in-law."
Someone sent private messages to Li Xixi, Zhu Xingyao, and even Jiang Tu.
Jiang Tu took a look and frowned.
What is Waiting for the Stars? He knew that Lin Jiayu wrote novels, but he had never read them.
He took a quick look and roughly knew what was going on, and his face quickly darkened.
Zhu Xingyao was holding her phone. Lin Jiayu was desperately asking her for help on WeChat. She sat on the sofa and looked up at him. Jiang Tu saw that she looked quite calm. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "You know everything?"
"Hmm..." Zhu Xingyao put down her phone and held his hand. "I know everything about you from Jiayu's book. Don't scold Jiayu. She just wanted to record the story at that time and didn't expect it to be exposed now. But this is only a matter of time. The previous post in No. 1 Middle School was so popular. I am a public figure, and so is Xixi and Jiang Lu... Jiayu sold the copyright because my relationship with Xixi has become popular. She is afraid that you will scold her."
Jiang Tu's jaw was tense, and it was obvious that he was really unhappy.
Zhu Xingyao hugged his neck and coaxed him coquettishly: "It's no use scolding her."
Jiang Tu took a deep breath and said patiently, "What did she write?"
Zhu Xingyao was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Basically, I've written it all..."
Jiang Tu had a cold face and said nothing.
Zhu Xingyao stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
Jiang Tu lowered his eyelashes and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Zhu Xingyao's eyelashes moved, and she leaned forward to kiss his jaw, whispering, "Brother Tu, have I ever told you that your jawline is sexy?" She felt this way when she was in high school. This was the first time she took the initiative. Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she kissed him on the chin again, "And here."
After a few seconds, all of Jiang Tu's irritability turned into helplessness, and his Adam's apple rolled when she kissed him.
Soon, he held her waist and bent down to kiss her back passionately.
The two fell on the sofa. Zhu Xingyao hugged Jiang Tu tightly. She felt that his whole body was hot. She was almost unable to breathe due to his kiss. She felt that she was setting herself on fire, but she couldn't put out the fire.
The class group was still discussing Waiting for the Stars, with screenshots of the plot posted one after another, and someone asked: "What happened to Jiang Tu and Zhu Xingyao? Are they really together?"
An hour later.
Jiang Tu sent a message in the group: "I will treat everyone to a wedding banquet, thank you."
The author has something to say: This article is actually written around these few people, but of course, the star journey is the most important! The release of "Waiting for the Stars" is a complete release for Lu Ji, and he will be able to let go completely. From now on, he will truly let go and will not be talked about by his family, classmates, and junior high school girls. Brother Tu may not care, but for them, it is a new beginning.
I will update tomorrow night too, good night~
