In the private room of the hotel, the air condenses into ice.War is imminent.

Jiang Chen looked at the familiar face in front of him, the color under his pupils was bottomless.

The thorns of memory were pulled out one by one at that moment, and blood splashed dripping from every root.

——"Mr. Jiang, do you like sleeping with him that much?"

——"You seduce your classmates like this, are you worthy of your parents?"

——"Gu Ran will take over the Gu family's company sooner or later, and naturally accept the family's marriage."

——"He's just playing for fun, he can't be with you."

Every time I remembered a word, my dignity seemed to be torn apart and trampled on.

Cheng Siping sized him up for a while, her red lips curled into an arc, and her eyes turned to the empty seat opposite: "Sit down and talk."

"No need," Jiang Chen met Cheng Siping's gaze, and picked up the wine glass under her gaze, "I'll leave after drinking this glass."

Never expecting that his attitude would be so tough, Cheng Siping's smile faded a bit: "Leaving in such a hurry? After all, I met him once, and I want to catch up with Mr. Jiang."

"Madam Gu can speak directly if she has something to say."

"Okay," Cheng Siping said lightly, and looked at him, "Mr. Jiang must still remember what he promised me nine years ago, right?"

"Of course I remember."

Cheng Siping narrowed her eyes: "Then, should Mr. Jiang explain the trending searches and variety shows?"

Jiang Chen said lightly: "I will not go back on what I promised you back then."

"Since things have gone as you wished, I will keep my promise and never mention it to him."

"It's just," Jiang Chen changed the subject and looked directly at her, "I didn't take the money back then, and you will never be qualified to ask me to fulfill your last condition."

Hearing these words, Cheng Siping's expression changed instantly.

"Don't worry."

"I have no relatives in this world."

"You will no longer have the leverage to threaten me."

There was silence in the private room, but it seemed to hear the sound of wine glasses breaking.

"This glass of wine is just to thank you for naming me to play this role——"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chen took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The wine is baijiu, with a high alcohol content. One cup of it feels like a fire has ignited the stomach.

pain.

Not heart-piercing, but slow and sharp.

Just a glass of wine made him feel pain like never before.

The knuckles were pinched white.

He put down his glass heavily, turned and left the private room.

……

When I returned to the private room of the crew, the artists present were talking and laughing, with constant laughter.

Han Jingyu noticed Jiang Chen's pale face, got up and asked, "Teacher Jiang, are you okay?"

"It's okay," Jiang Chen whispered, "I'm going to the bathroom, excuse me."

He walked in a hurry, not noticing the shadowy figure in the corner.

He Xiaonan was holding the wine glass, but his eyes never left him, as if he was staring at his prey, under the dangerous gaze, he was conceited that he was bound to win.

Someone beside him touched his wine glass: "Brother He, why don't you drink?"

He Xiaonan came back to his senses, smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of the strong wine in the glass as if nothing had happened, his eyes were bottomless black.

hallway.

Jiang Chen closed the door of the private room, supported the wall, tightened his hands inch by inch, his fingertips were so white that he almost lost blood.

Stomach toppled, it was a familiar pain, and all the grief and despair of that year were slowly recovered.

The restroom was at the end of the corridor, and there was no one there except for a small light that was on, and the light was very dim.

With a "bang", the door slammed into the wall heavily, and the dull sound was like a thunder, which made him wake up suddenly.

Jiang Chen locked the door of the cubicle, propped his hands on the wall, trembling slightly, his face pale as death.

The strong wine burned his stomach, and there was a sharp pain, which made his body convulse uncontrollably.

Fine beads of sweat ooze from the forehead, slide down the chin, and drip into the neckline, like ice water dousing a blazing flame.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear the notification tone of the mobile phone, which was still the fast-paced piano piece.

He took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket, and when he saw the name, he lowered his eyes.

It took a long time to connect.

"Is it over?" Gu Ran's voice came from the other end of the phone, as far away as in another world.

"...Not yet." His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been burned.

"Have you been drinking?" Gu Ran was a little surprised.

"……A little bit."

"Boba or Siji milkqing?"

long silence.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he spoke softly.

"It's Passion Milk Green."

"Yeah. I like that one too. It's sweet and sour and tastes good."

Jiang Chen leaned against the wall, looked at the note name displayed on the phone, his eyes were slightly red.

He rolled his throat slightly, and continued: "Three-point candy."

Gu Ran gave another "hmm" and said, "The one itself is sweeter, so you don't need to add too much sugar."

"I don't drink cold."

"Well, I know you have a bad stomach. Go ice."

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that he would die without regret.

Consciousness gradually slackened, and for a moment, he had the illusion that he had returned to nine years ago.

In the hot summer, he and Gu Ran waited in line outside the milk tea shop.They waited for a full hour, and even the sky was already dark.

"Tsk, I'll be scolded today," Gu Ran glanced at his watch, "I won't be able to make time for evening self-study."

"It's better not to line up," Jiang Chen glanced at the queue in front of him, "It's still too late to go back now."

"You want to go back that much? What if you miss one evening self-study?"

"Just for a cup of milk tea?"

"You came out with me just for this cup of milk tea?"

"...Otherwise?" He asked back, taking it for granted.

During that time, they ate at the restaurant opposite the school every night after school, but this was the first time they lined up to buy milk tea together.

"The classroom is stuffy, can't you get some air?"

"If you have something to say, you don't need to beat around the bush like this." He could tell at a glance that Gu Ran's words were duplicity, and this way of making excuses was simply irrational.

"Who beat around the bush?" Gu Ran's eyes wandered, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The two were in a stalemate like this, until the line was about to reach them, and Gu Ran suddenly made a sound.

"Hey."

"What?"

"It's for you, take it."

"This is……"

"Counterfeit, 100 yuan," Gu Ran held his school uniform and turned his face away, "It was collected at the flea market."

Counterfeit? 100 yuan?When these words came out of Young Master Gu's mouth, there was really no credibility at all.It wasn't until after he went back that Jiang Chen found out on the Internet that this watch was a new couple's model, and the watch alone was worth 70 yuan.

The next day he returned the watch to Gu Ran: "Take it back."

"How can there be any reason to take back a gift that is sent out?"

"I can't accept it anyway."

"My mother punished me 100% after seeing it, do you have the heart?"

"..."

In the end, Jiang Chen accepted the watch: "After graduation, my aunt can't control you anymore, so I'll return it to you."

"Then can I ask for a gift in return?"

"Well, what do you want?"

"I want to hold your hand."

At that time, they were standing in the center of the playground, surrounded by countless students, and they would look in the direction of the two from time to time.

"It's just a tug," Gu Ran said, "Just a tug, nothing will happen."

The tone is harsh, like an unrecognized underground lover who wants to let the relationship go to the public.

So in public, Jiang Chen asked him to hold his hand for the first time.Although he only held it for a moment and then let go, he felt that he was holding the red thread of his life.

……

Memories are too unreal, like a vain dream, blown away with a light blow.

In his life, he has abided by the rules countless times, and he has been prepared to go through his life step by step, but only in that year, he did all the rebellious things with Gu Ran.

I don't know how long it took, but the burning in my stomach finally got better.

"I hung up the phone," he held his breath with difficulty, "don't pick me up, I'll go back by myself later."

After waiting for a long time without any movement, I looked down and found that the phone had been hung up at some point.

Feel relieved, but inevitably lost.

Jiang Chen calmed down and tried not to think too much about it.The moment he pushed the door and walked out, he saw a familiar person standing outside the door.

He Xiaonan didn't expect that he would open the door and come out at this moment, the moment he saw him clearly, his eyes darkened.

"Mr. Jiang, are you okay?"

"It's okay. My stomach is a little hot."

"I see that you haven't come back for a long time, so let's take a look." He Xiaonan turned his gaze to the cubicle where he had stayed, and the corner of his lips raised an arc, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

There was some kind of ambiguity implied in the words, Jiang Chen frowned deeply, a look of coldness flashed across his eyes, he was about to leave, but his wrist was grabbed by a force.

"Mr. Jiang."

He Xiaonan pushed him against the corner of the wall, silently exerted force on his knees, and tried to push his legs away.He raised his eyes and looked at the cold face with interest: "I have been interested in you for a long time."

"Let go." Jiang Chen met his gaze coldly, but his lips were gently covered by a finger.

The fingertips slowly rubbed over it, bringing a shuddering tingling sensation.

He Xiaonan bent down, put his lips against his ears, and whispered: "Are you crooked?"

Before he could answer, He Xiaonan continued on his own: "Unfortunately, me too. Director Lu said that we should communicate more in private, but Mr. Jiang seems to have a deep prejudice against me."

His fingers slid across Jiang Chen's waist and landed on the long and narrow belt, making an imaginative sound.

"Then I can only try to use my own way," He Xiaonan's lips raised an evil arc, and his body rubbed against him intentionally or unintentionally, "Let Teacher Jiang cancel his prejudice against me."

"You..." Jiang Chen bit his lips tightly, but felt dizzy.

His heart sank suddenly, and his pupils shrank violently.

That glass of wine—

"Hello? Director Lu?"

"Sorry, I have something to do tonight, so I have to go back early."

"No need to help, a little matter, you go ahead, don't worry about me."

He Xiaonan's dangerous voice sounded in the bathroom.After a few words, I hung up the communication.

He picked up the phone and shook it lightly in front of Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, let me see you off."

"Let go—" Jiang Chen panted heavily, his eyes were terribly cold, but his arms became weaker and weaker, and he couldn't refuse He Xiaonan's pull at all.

"Um……"

Everything in front of him gradually blurred, he could feel himself being pushed into a closed space by He Xiaonan, but he couldn't make a sound.The moment before his consciousness disappeared, he seemed to hear the sound of the car door closing.

"Mr. He, do you want to go?"

He Xiaonan stopped pulling the hand on the front door, looked at the direction of the voice, and found that the person who spoke was Han Jingyu, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Sister Han," he showed a surprised look, "Why did you leave so early?"

"Tonight is my younger brother's birthday, so I said hello to Director Lu and left first," Han Jingyu smiled, looking at his car, "Mr. He, is it convenient for you to give me a ride?"

He Xiaonan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Han, I'm going to pick up two friends tonight, I'm afraid I won't be on the way with you."

"It's okay," Han Jingyu understood quite well, "In this case, I'll take a taxi and go back."

"Next time Sister Han is in need, feel free to ask me, and I will definitely help."

"Then thank you Teacher He in advance."

"You're welcome."

After greeting Han Jingyu, He Xiaonan opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

Through the rearview mirror, he saw the unconscious person lying on the back seat of the car, the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

He quickly closed his eyes, started the car, and drove towards the hotel.

With a "beep", the room card opened the door of the hotel.

He Xiaonan hugged Jiang Chen to the bed, but heard a "pop", and something heavy fell on the bed.

Looking down, it was Jiang Chen's cell phone.

The screen of the mobile phone is dazzling, and the latest news comes from Gu Ran.

"Wait for me for a while."

He was a little surprised, took the phone curiously, swipe the screen, his eyes darkened bit by bit.Tapping the screen with his finger, he was about to type, but suddenly thought of something, and exited the chat interface.

He used Jiang Chen's mobile phone to send a few messages to himself, and after a while, he typed a line on the chat interface with Gu Ran.

"No need, Teacher Gu, I'm already home."

Then, hit the send button.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry that I posted Chapter 46 by mistake, so I will update it four times today, until Chapter 46 (the content of Chapter 46 will be completed), woo woo woo
