After starting business with her ex-boyfriend, she became a national cp

"Quick?" Guan Zhi repeated, a little dazed.It's been an hour, how fast?

"Well," recalling the scene just now, Pei Qian still had lingering fears, "It should be healed soon."

The pants are all put on, and the work must have been done. The moment just now was probably just an afterthought.

The air in the kitchen seemed to freeze.

Gu Ran supported Jiang Chen's waist with his hands, whether it was heavy or not, but it just landed on the sensitive part of the body, bringing a shuddering temperature through the clothes.

Jiang Chen was so hot that his face was red and his heart was beating. He tried to break free, but instead of being able to break free, he showed a feeling of refusal and welcome.

"Are you hurt?"

Gu Ran's voice came from above his head, so deep and gentle that Jiang Chen couldn't bear to push him away for a moment.

At that moment he admitted that he was greedy for that embrace.

I want time to stay in this moment forever - even if it costs me.

He was in a stalemate with Gu Ran, just a few minutes, it seemed like hours.In the end, he was the first to break the silence: "...I'm fine."

Immediately afterwards, he bit his lower lip: "Mr. Gu, you don't have to hug me."

The moment he said those words, he felt a momentary stiffness in the arms holding him.

Gu Ran's eyes darkened little by little.

The temperature of the air dropped silently, and with the deepening twilight, there was silence in the kitchen.

5 minute, 10 minutes, 15 minutes...

Jiang Chen waited for 10 to [-] minutes, but did not wait for Gu Ran to let go.

Being hugged by Gu Ran doesn't feel good.The two people's bodies are close together, and there will inevitably be a physiological reaction. If he hadn't turned his back to Gu Ran and was covered by clothes, he would have died of shame and anger at this moment.

He pursed his lips lightly, and was about to make a sound, but Gu Ran laughed shortly: "Is that why you want me to let go?"

The tone was neither sharp nor sarcastic, more like a self-mockery.Turning into a blunt knife, it slowly and mercilessly spiraled into his heart.

"I..." Jiang Chen was startled, and instinctively wanted to explain, but the hand on his waist loosened.

"Okay, I'll let go." Gu Ran didn't give him a chance to explain.

He never forces him.

Jiang Chen's heart was stabbed hard by this light and fluttering sentence.

He suddenly felt that he was hypocritical.

He was the one who didn't want Gu Ran to let go, and he was the one who took the initiative to avoid suspicion, and he left without saying goodbye back then, blocking all of Gu Ran's contact information...

Faintly, that crack once again lay between the two of them.He may have had a chance to make up for it, but it took nine years to boil the rift into an unbridgeable gap.

In just a few seconds of trance, Gu Ran had already turned off the fire on the stove.

"Teacher Jiang, let's hurry up, lest Guan Zhi and the others urge you."

Jiang Chen came back to his senses, restrained his unnecessary emotions, and didn't say much: "Okay."

They waited until 06:30 for the dinner to be ready.

When Guan Zhi learned that the food was ready, she enthusiastically wanted to serve the dishes, but was scalded by the plates, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Oops..."

Seeing that the dinner plate almost tipped over, a hand with strong knuckles stabilized her hand, then took the dinner plate and put it on the table.

"Let me do it."

The man's voice was low, implying a hint of an indifferent smile.

It wasn't Pei Qian, nor Qin Jue, but Jiang Chen couldn't be more familiar with it.

For a moment, a memory surfaced in his mind, so long that he was unfamiliar.

——"Brother Chen, I want to be good friends with you forever."

——"If you want to work part-time, can you bring me along?"

and also……

——"You and your mother owe me your whole life."

——"In this life, I will never call you brother again."

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and met those narrow eyes.

The man raised his eyebrows and looked back at him without any shyness, with sharp provocation hidden in his eyes.

His eyebrows are open, his thin lips are curved like a sharp sword, and his facial features present a kind of aggressive beauty, like a poppy growing wantonly.

It is the new generation director, Tang Yi.

Tang Yi was originally an actor. He was only in his early twenties, but he was very talented. He played the leading role in his first play, but a year later he suddenly quit the show business and changed his career to become a director.Although many people were not optimistic, he proved his choice with his strength, and the first film occupied the highest box office of the year.

Tang Yi had a vague smile on his lips, and stretched out a hand to him: "It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Jiang."

The words were unfamiliar, as if the two were just strangers who had nothing to do with each other.

Jiang Chen's eyes fell on that hand, and his eyes darkened a little.After a long time, he didn't reach out to shake hands with him.

That hand was hanging in the air like this, which was extremely embarrassing.

Tang Yi didn't mind, and simply withdrew his hand, sat down in the middle of the sofa, and raised his legs: "The director team of this episode is short of people, and I just happened to find me, so I agreed. It just so happened that the show team lacked guests, so I simply hired me." It's arranged."

Saying that, he raised his chin at Qin Jue, and smiled seductively: "Brother Qin, do we have a predestined relationship?"

Qin Jue's face changed slightly when he heard the sound, and he looked at him with cold eyes.

Tang Yi didn't wait for his answer. He glanced at the time on the grandfather clock, picked up his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "It's better not to waste everyone's time, let's eat."

Since there were not many ingredients in the refrigerator, Jiang Chen and Gu Ran only made five dishes and one soup, but they were all delicious in color, flavor and taste, and looked very appetizing.

Guan Zhi glanced at the dishes on the table: "I really can't tell, Mr. Gu still has this skill."

Gu Ran passed Jiang Chen from the corner of his eye, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Mr. Jiang taught well."

Jiang Chen calmed down: "We still owe it to Mr. Gu's learning talent."

Guan Zhi didn't take it seriously: "Why are you so polite? Do you two still need to divide each other?"

Before Jiang Chen had time to speak, he heard Gu Ran beside him say "hmm", and said with a smile, "Of course Teacher Jiang and I don't need it."

The tone is natural, the ending is slightly raised, and it seems to be in a good mood.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at him confidently, as if to say: I just said it, what can you do to me?

Arrogant as hell.

Jiang Chen avoided his gaze, and rarely retorted, but a blush appeared on his cheeks inexplicably.

Hearing Guan Zhi and Gu Ran's ridicule, Tang Yi curled his lips into a slight smile, and his gaze on Jiang Chen became meaningful.

"I don't know, I thought Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu slept in the same bed."

This sentence is meaningful, and the tone is even more frivolous, as if there are countless sharp thorns hidden.

Jiang Chen met his eyes, and his eyes turned cold little by little.

The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere turned cold.

In the next second, Gu Ran casually spoke.

"If Mr. Jiang is willing, I can spare some space."

Tang Yi obviously didn't expect Gu Ran to say that, he was slightly startled, and frowned slightly.He looked at Gu Ran and twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's a pity that the bed is a little small."

Gu Ran said "hmm": "It's just right, squeeze to keep warm."

Tang Yi's face froze, but he quickly suppressed the gloom in his eyes: "Just kidding, Brother Gu, don't be angry. I know that Brother Gu is not used to making do with people, and I'm afraid he will be wronged when he sleeps."

Gu Ran chuckled: "I'm not wronged, he didn't have any trouble sleeping."

Tang Yi: "???"

Why is it different from what he imagined?

Guan Zhi frantically hinted at Pei Qian with her eyes: How could Gu Ran know such a secret? !

Pei Qian coughed low-key and shook his head slightly at her.

Jiang Chen coughed heavily, and disguised himself, "There's no need for that. Let's eat."

Qin Jue frowned, and looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression, his eyes darkened a little.

After dinner, they went back to their rooms.

After Jiang Chen packed the clothes he brought, he glanced at his watch, it was still early.

The wind coming from the balcony carries the unique coolness of autumn.

Jiang Chen opened the curtains and walked to the balcony.From this position, you can overlook the entire river view.

He subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette, but in the next moment, he heard the sound of a lighter not far away.

A bad premonition rose from the bottom of my heart.

The hand holding the cigarette paused slightly.

He turned his head and saw that the other party was also looking in his direction.

Look at each other.

In those pitch-black eyes, there was a calm and calm expression, but they were so sharp that one could see right through his heart.

"Not asleep yet?" Gu Ran said unhurriedly.

Jiang Chen got angry calmly: "It's still early."

"Aren't you waiting for me?" Gu Ran laughed shortly, his tone was lazy and he didn't want to beat him.

Jiang Chen paused.

"Teacher Gu is worrying too much." Jiang Chen said lightly, but his eyes dimmed a bit, hidden in the night, no one could see.

It seems that he has been used to speaking to Gu Ran in this tone since a long time ago.

In the past, it may have been sentimentality, but now it is a sharp sword between the two, stabbing themselves while protecting themselves.He didn't dare to take a step back, for fear that the balance would tilt and collapse, and his world would be turned upside down again.

"I think so." Gu Ran looked away, his voice was calm, "You told me a long time ago that you are not a long-term lover."

Are you in love?

Indeed not.he thinks.

Abandoned by his father since he was a child, his memory of his father is just a stranger, and he will never remember that he was kind to him.He has lived with his mother for many years, but he still remembers how his mother threatened his father with her own life, put a knife on his neck countless times, and even took him to commit suicide by drowning.

The estrangement between him and his relatives is the pain that he can never reconcile with the world.He learned to survive alone in this cruel world, but never learned to forgive.

But he has only loved one person deeply for nine years.

The love is so deep, rooted in his heart like an obsession that cannot be let go, even if countless sharp thorns are opened, he is willing and never regrets.

Because only that person has ever loved him without reservation.

In the boundless night, he glimpsed a ray of starlight, and thought that the whole world was as bright as day.

The air was dull as if it had been raining.

"Smoking less." Gu Ran said suddenly.

Jiang Chen was startled, and subconsciously looked at the cigarette at his fingertips.

A person who has been addicted to smoking since high school, where does he come from to speak of him?

Gu Ran seemed to be able to see what he was thinking, and said softly, "This is different."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but find it funny: "What's the difference?"

"You said you don't like smoking." Gu Ran's voice was calm.

Jiang Chen's movements stopped abruptly.

He has played the piano for more than 20 years, and the stability of his fingers is not comparable to that of ordinary people.But the moment he heard those words, he trembled uncontrollably.

What trembled at the same time was his heart that had been silent for many years.

That's right, he did reveal to Gu Ran that he didn't like the smell of cigarettes.From that day on, whenever Gu Ran smoked, he would deliberately avoid him.

"Is work stressful?" Gu Ran asked him lightly.

"A little bit." Jiang Chen said calmly, but his palms were sweating.

When he said this, he felt a little nervous——

Because he lied.

high pressure?No matter how great the pressure in the showbiz is, how can it compare with the dark days when you were a teenager?

He never thought of telling Gu Ran, he just wanted to know how Gu Ran felt when he smoked, as if as long as this was the case, Gu Ran would still be by his side.

He will keep this secret and that unshakable relationship forever in his heart.

Jiang Chen smoked the whole cigarette in silence, then suddenly said, "I will remember to smoke less."

After a pause, he added, "...you too."

"Okay." Gu Ran's voice could not detect any emotion.

Jiang Chen threw the cigarette butts into the wastebasket and looked at his watch: "Where is tomorrow's date?"

His voice was cold, and the word "date" was spoken as dull as eating, as if he was completing a task mechanically.

"A big." Gu Ran said.

"Yes." Jiang Chen was not surprised.

The fact that he and Gu Ran used to be in the same school had been investigated by the program team long ago.

At the beginning, he repeated his studies for a year, was admitted to University A, and became classmates with Gu Ran again, but because of their different majors, the two had never had any intersection. In addition, he had to prepare for a concert, while Gu Ran was more busy with filming. I haven't even seen each other a few times.Not to mention later, Gu Ran went abroad to study for a master's degree in finance after graduation.

The date script this time is "Campus Romance", and it is obviously the scheming of the program team that it will be set in University A.

Jiang Chen dusted off the cigarette, and ended the unpleasant conversation first: "I'm going back."

That being said, when he got back to his room, he didn't close the door to the balcony.

Hearing the movement next door through a wall, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

Five minutes later, he heard Gu Ran close the balcony door and return to the room.

Ten minutes later, there was the sound of water flowing in the bathroom next door.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes, but the image of Gu Ran's energetic body after the shower emerged in his mind.

Half an hour later, falling asleep declared failure.

He sat up on the bed panting lightly.The shirt was soaked in sweat unknowingly, clinging to the body, bringing an uncomfortable sticky feeling.

Touching his forehead lightly with his fingers, he lost his mind for a moment.

Jiang Chen didn't recover until he heard the slight movement outside the door.Looking at the time, it has passed zero.

With a dry throat, he got up and got out of bed, opened the door with his hand, and went to the kitchen.

In the dark corridor on the second floor, the lights outlined two clear silhouettes.

"Why did you come?" Qin Jue's voice sounded extremely indifferent.

Tang Yi leaned against his door, looking at him with phoenix eyes, with a half-smile: "I'm also one of the directors of the program group, why, can't you come?"

"You think I don't know the purpose of your coming here?" Qin Jue sneered, his tone was decisive, as if the ice had been frozen, "I advise you not to play any tricks."

"Means?" Tang Yi didn't care, raised his brows slightly, and looked at him with interest, "Don't you think that what I want to do is stupid enough to do it myself?"

Qin Jue suddenly realized something, and secretly clasped his fingers, his pupils looked extremely frightening: "What's the benefit of taking Beichen Entertainment?"

"Beichen Entertainment?" Tang Yi squinted his eyes and looked at his expression carefully, "Do I need this?"

Qin Jue frowned.

Tang Yi had quit the showbiz a year ago and turned to be a director, and had never had any contact with Beichen Entertainment.Is he really thinking too much?

"It's you," Tang Yi looked at him with interest, "If you have the energy to guard against me, don't you worry about our past being exposed?"

"Tang Yi," Qin Jueyin held back a trace of anger, "I warn you, don't challenge my bottom line."

"Don't worry, for the sake of our friendship, I won't ruin your reputation." Tang Yi raised the corners of his mouth playfully, approached his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's him, For a little money, you can climb into the bed of a certain young master, what is there that you will never forget?"

"you--"

Tang Yi chuckled and looked up at him: "Or, do you really believe that he and Gu Ran have never slept together?"

Hearing the movement from downstairs, the curve of Tang Yi's lips faded.He glanced in the direction of the living room, and said in a cold voice, "I advise you to take care of yourself."

"What kind of person he is, I know better than anyone."

After speaking, he went back to the room.

When Jiang Chen returned to the second floor, he saw Qin Jue standing alone at the door with a gloomy expression.

"Mr. Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Jue came back to his senses, and when he saw it was him, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll come out to get some air."

As he said that, he glanced across his water glass, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you sleeping so late?"

"Going to sleep."

As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, Qin Jue called him in a low voice, with a rare trace of hesitation in his voice.

"Jiang Chen."

The action stops.

Qin Jue looked at him with a complicated expression, and there was an unknown emotion in his tone: "You... it's better to have less contact with the Gu family."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but did not speak.

After a while, close the door.

The body is pasted with a cold facade.He lowered his eyes, and there was an inseparable shadow under his eyelashes.

Gu family?

The scene when Cheng Siping asked him to leave Gu Ran nine years ago is vivid in his memory.It's not like she hasn't done the same thing.Since his debut, he and Gu Ran have never met each other, but the two still become incompatible opponents. Behind this incident, the Gu family is indispensable.

In the past few days, the scandal between him and Gu Ran has been dominating the hot searches, and it is impossible for the members of the Gu family not to know about it.And now, is it finally time to start acting?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen opened Weibo and took a look.

Calm and calm.

There are only two days left until the first episode of the program is broadcast. If the Gu family really intends to intervene, they may secretly contact the program team to delete all ambiguous episodes.

He did not contact the company.In fact, with his current coffee position, the company will definitely contact the program team with just one word, and even if it can't stop the program team from editing, it can still allow him to quit the program team without any loss.At least, he will never be wronged.

But he didn't.

He just wants to protect that person.

From nine years ago to now, nothing has changed.

Jiang Chen went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, dried his hair and was about to go to bed, but received a WeChat message.

It was from Gu Ran.

"Go to bed early."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally replied, "You too."

Early the next morning, the two went to University A under the arrangement of the program group.

The car stopped in front of the school gate.The campus is full of ginkgo trees, and the golden ginkgo leaves cover the ground.

After many years, Jiang Chen returned to school again, and Jiang Chen couldn't say what kind of mood he was in.

His mother was seriously ill that year, and he missed the college entrance examination. In the second year, he was admitted to University A with the top score in the school. In fact, he just wanted to be closer to Gu Ran.

Even if this person no longer loves him, and they will not be together again, he will be happy for his excellence and happiness from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't tell Gu Ran that he would go to every concert he held in college, but he sat in the most inconspicuous position every time, and he would wait until the curtain ended before leaving.

He hides his heart that loves him deeply, like hiding a secret that cannot be seen, but after the curtain is over, let it become the last light that goes out on the stage.

There was a fiery temperature in the palm.Gu Ran took his hand.

Even though he knew that creating the illusion of love was a requirement of the program group, Jiang Chen still felt his heart beating faster.

Showing the truth is the most taboo when acting on occasion.But at this moment, he committed a big taboo.

"Actually, there is one place in this school that has always left a deep impression on me." Gu Ran said.

"Where?" Jiang Chen couldn't help being curious.I heard that Gu Ran often skipped classes when he was in college, and he has been acting since his freshman year, so he didn't spend much time in school.It was really hard for him to imagine where Gu Ran would be impressed.

"It's the activity center," Gu Ran stopped in front of that building, "I held a few concerts here before graduation, and there weren't many people there, but I remember that a few people always left very late and waited until Leave only after the curtain is over."

Jiang Chen was taken aback, his heart beating violently.Will he know it's him?

He pretended to be calm: "Do you know who it is?"

"I know, they are all Lin Yu's friends," Gu Ran said, "Every time I come here, I always sit in the back seat. Seeing that they are embarrassed to ask for autographs, I am also embarrassed to expose them."

"..." In fact, they were not embarrassed to ask for autographs, but they were forming a team to play a black game.

"However, I haven't held a concert since graduation."

"why?"

"Busy filming."

The answer was too simple, and Jiang Chen realized how stupid he was asking.

When he was in college, Gu Ran held a concert in school, but after all, he just participated in school activities.Gu Ran has always focused on filming, and almost never sang after graduation, so the impression of those few activities should not be deep.

"Actually, there is another reason." Gu Ran paused, "He lost his fans and didn't come to the last concert."

"..." I believe in you.

Gu Ran's concert makes people lose fans?Gu Ran will stop holding the concert because a few fans didn't come?

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to expose him, but because he didn't dare to expose himself, he finally swallowed the words back.His mind was in a mess, and he didn't notice that Gu Ran said "he" instead of "they".

"You sing very well," Jiang Chen thought for a while and said seriously, "I know."

"is it?"

"I said that in high school."

Gu Ran's lips curved slightly: "Then shall we go in?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows: "What? Teacher Gu wants to hold a concert for me alone?"

"Mr. Jiang won't lose face, will he?"

"No," Jiang Chen smiled, "It's an honor that countless fans can't ask for to be able to listen to Teacher Gu sing."

The venue is empty, but the stage has been simply arranged.

Jiang Chen randomly chose a seat and sat down.No. 1, row 7, the closest to the center of the stage.

"Teacher Jiang, are you sure you want to take this seat?" Gu Ran's voice came from the stage.

"Ok?"

"No. 14, Row 28," Gu Ran said softly, announcing a seat number, "Teacher Jiang, please be seated."
