My soul and I have interpenetrated [Entertainment Circle]

"..."

Shi Zhou stared at the ring in the velvet box, his fingertips trembled and wanted to touch it, but stopped because of inexplicable timidity.

Memories flashed in his mind, Shi Zhou would never forget the appearance of Sheng Yanwen proposing to him with a ring——

At that time, he had been in the hospital for nearly a month because of the car accident of the crew of "Bone Mirror".

Shi Zhou concealed the disappointment in his heart, and accompanied by Di An and Han Han, he returned to the home where he and Sheng Yanwen lived together, went upstairs and opened the door alone.

The moment I entered the door, the home had changed. Even the sesame and almonds, which I hadn’t seen for a long time because of the hospitalization, were taken care of in a particularly energetic and lovely way.

Sheng Yanwen, dressed in a suit, stood in the living room, a trace of apprehension and tension floated on his usually calm face, and it was this ring velvet box that was clutched in his hands.

Unlike the lively scenes when other people propose, there is no so-called booing and blessing from relatives and friends. It is so simple that it seems that there are only two of them left in the whole world.

And then, Sheng Yanwen said the most heartfelt guarantee, and gave Shizhou a real home that he had longed for since he was a child.

Shi Zhou cherishes this ring in his heart, and occasionally when he has to separate because of a notice, this ring can represent the greatest sense of security given to him by the rumors.

To put it bluntly, the time that this wedding ring has been with Shi Zhou is even longer than the time that Sheng Yanwen has been with him.

During the two years of living in a foreign country, whenever Shi Zhou was unable to support himself, he would habitually touch and kiss the wedding ring on his ring finger in order to regain his sense of stability.

After traveling back, the ring 'disappeared'.

At the beginning, Shizhou barely suppressed the uneasiness of losing important items, and silently told himself——

Everything starts over.

As long as Sheng Yanwen still loves him, the wedding ring will come back sooner or later.

Now this identical wedding ring lies quietly in the black velvet box, shining with a low-key and charming brilliance, carrying a certain kind of promise and security.

Shi Zhou had never thought too much about the two points of 'ring' and 'marriage proposal' before, thinking that Sheng Yanwen and him only got to know each other thoroughly after the car accident.

However, the other party proposed to him one step ahead of him.

Now he looked at the wedding ring that appeared earlier than he remembered, with mixed feelings for a while.

Did this "time-traveling" rerun speed up the development of Sheng Yanwen's feelings for him?Or is it that the rumors of the year actually made a decision early?

The bathroom door opens.

Sheng Yanwen came out wrapped in a custom-made soup robe, "Zhouzhou, why don't you talk anymore, I..."

With unfinished questions stuck in his throat, Sheng Yanwen met Shang Shizhou's gaze, and also noticed the black velvet box in his lover's hand.

There was a subtle change in his complexion, there was a sense of tension between his brows, and he walked up quickly, "You..."

"What's mine, yours?" Shi Zhou pointed the opening of the ring box at Sheng Yanwen, and voluntarily admitted, "When I pulled the data cable of the mobile phone, I accidentally took this box out."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have opened your things privately, but the charm of this ring box is too great, and I opened it without holding back for a while."

Sheng Yan heard that Shi Zhou was so obedient and had no choice but to ask, "What are you apologizing for?"

He raised his hand to hide the tension in his expression, pretending to take the ring box naturally and calmly, "It should have been arranged properly, and I will give you a surprise."

Shi Zhou knowingly asked, "Is this a couple ring for me?"

Sheng Yanwen shook his head slightly, and replied solemnly, "No, this is the wedding ring I want to propose to you."

"..."

The answer was clarified again.

Shi Zhou's heart welled up with indescribable complexity.

Sheng Yanwen took a deep breath, and said decisively, "Shi Zhou, I never imagined what I would look like if I met someone I was attracted to? But now I know—"

Originating from the first impression of the makeup photo, Shi Zhou, dressed in white, stood in the shadows where the light couldn't reach, leaving a shallow imprint on his heart.

Shi Zhou's naturally cold voice was also particularly moving when he saw the conversation at the dinner table for the first time.

The hotel is not a good encounter, but it is enough to know that Shi Zhou is not someone who breaks into the entertainment industry by shortcut.

During the half a year of filming "A Troubled World", every step was transitioned in an extremely fast but extremely natural way, from secret strife, to appreciation, to heartbeat, and then to complete fall.

Sheng Yanwen does not deny that the script of "Troubled Times" has influenced him, but it is Shi Zhou who really influenced him.

"I know that we haven't known each other for a long time, and we haven't dated for a long time. Perhaps the most basic running-in period between lovers hasn't even begun."

"It may seem perfunctory for me to hold the ring rashly and say such a thing on an occasion that is not suitable for marriage proposal."

Once some words are spoken, there is no possibility of temporary interruption.

Sheng Yanwen tried his best to control the tension that Pingsheng had never had before, "Shizhou, I am sincere, you are the one I want to live the rest of my life without having to work in and step by step."

"Would you like... to be with me forever?"

The familiar words pierced into the eardrums, and the vibrations caused rushed to the atrium.

Shi Zhou was afraid that he would fall into the deep affection of Sheng Yanwen, so he agreed as easily as he did back then.

He looked down at the ring in the box, and said in a calm tone that he had never imagined, "Yanwen, are we doing this too fast? Do you want to think about it again?"

"..."

Sheng Yanwen's breathing was slightly condensed, and he didn't show any negative emotions that made Shi Zhou feel stressed, "Zhou Zhou, do you think that your career is still on the rise and you don't want to be bound by marriage so soon?"

At the dinner just now, he heard Shi Zhou and Director Sun Cong say——

"It's still too early to get married. Yanwen and I want to work hard for a few more years."

Sheng Yanwen knows that Shi Zhou is competitive and hard-working in his career, and this has become the source of tension at the moment.

Shi Zhou nodded slightly, trying to use a rational tone to analyze Sheng Yanwen, "Yanwen, we are together now because our careers are progressing fairly well, and we have common works and topics."

"What if, I mean, if there is a disparity in our careers in the future, or we have nothing to talk about because we have been away for a long time, or if you meet someone who is more suitable and can talk to you?"

"In this case, would you still want to be with me?"

As an "experienced man", Shi Zhou knew that Sheng Yanwen would reach the peak one after another after "The Troubled Times", holding the Shidi trophy and ascending to the unshakable position of others.

Shi Zhou, who came back again, wanted to change the direction of his career and become the person who could stand side by side with Sheng Yanwen.But right now, except for the drama "Bone Mirror", the future has become an unknown chessboard for him.

There are always two sides to everything.

What if he didn't choose to go abroad this time, but continued to stay in the entertainment circle to work hard?

It is said that love makes people invincible, and cuteness makes people weak and timid.

Shi Zhou will never forget the feeling of helplessness and despair when he knew that Lou Keqin sent the divorce agreement in his name.

He was afraid that the rumors would be taken seriously, and he was even more afraid that even if he broke free from the shackles of his adoptive parents and rushed back to China, he would not be able to retain this relationship.

During the ten or so hours on the plane, Shi Zhou was in an unprecedented panic and couldn't close his eyes, so that he was so tense and exhausted that he finally fell asleep in the taxi.

When he woke up, Shi Zhou found himself sitting quietly in the lounge of Huayu Film and Television. At that moment, he didn't overthrow the anxiety of starting over again, but secretly accepted all this happily.

It's okay to do it all over again.

So that he can live for himself selfishly, no longer subject to any restraints from his adoptive parents, any way to make up for what he owes to Sheng Yanwen, and what he lacks in this relationship.

Today everything is developing as expected, but Shi Zhou realized——

In front of Sheng Yanwen, he can never be selfish.

He can't be at the very beginning of his relationship and feel at ease that he will bind the other party with marriage for the rest of his life.

"Yanwen, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future, so keep the relationship first, okay?"

Shi Zhou broke free from the memory and made clear his attitude.

"Three years later, five years later, ten years later, if you are still not bored with me, and I can still be the one who stands by your side... then I will propose to you, okay?"

Shizhou didn't have a good family background as a capital base. Whether it was love or early marriage, the only thing he could get out of was his career.

He wants to spend the rest of his life with Sheng Yan, so he can't leave him too much behind in his career.

"..."

Sheng Yanwen's brows overflowed with unprecedented complexity, and he slammed the ring box shut, but did not let the silence continue to spread, "Shizhou, why do you have such a sense of uneasiness?"

Shi Zhou stared at the closed ring, his heartstrings tensed, "What, what?"

Sheng Yanwen sat him on the water bar without any discussion.

Now, Shi Zhou was half a head taller than him, and there was nowhere to hide the originally dodging gaze.

The eyes meet again.

Sheng Yanwen was helpless and distressed, but he didn't stop asking, "Is it because I didn't do well enough and didn't say enough, that made you so unconfident in me and misunderstood me so deeply?"

When Shi Zhou heard Sheng Yanwen's denial, he shook his head indiscriminately, "No, I didn't misunderstand you, I..."

"No mistake?"

Sheng Yanwen laughed out of anger, and leaned closer to him, "Then why do you have to think that I am willing to be with you because of my career? And why do you have to believe that I may meet someone better in the future?" people?"

"..."

Shi Zhou's nose was lightly disturbed by his breath, and he murmured after a few beats, "Because you are already very capable, and you deserve better."

Even if it wasn't Deng Shaoyang who was similar to him, maybe it would be someone else.

"Shi Zhou, you heard clearly—" Sheng Yanwen lightly clasped Shi Zhou's chin, and made him look at him with a force that was not overbearing.

"It has nothing to do with career status, and it has nothing to do with family background. There are even better people in this world than me and you."

"But as far as I am concerned, you are the best."

Sheng Yanwen tightened his grip on Shi Zhou's body, like a warning, like a confirmation, and more like a request.

"I also hope that for Shi Zhou, the rumors are the best."

"..."

Shi Zhou didn't speak, just grasped Sheng Yanwen's sleeves as if seeking affirmation.

Sheng Yanwen bowed his head and kissed his empty ring finger, "I don't deny that before I met you, I wanted to do my best in everything, and I also regarded the 'Shidi' trophy as my goal, but now I don't It's the same."

"I don't need to be an actor Sheng Yanwen, and you don't need to be an actor Shi Zhou. No matter what line of work we are in, whether our achievements are high or low, I hope that the person who will join us for the rest of our lives is you."

Shi Zhou resisted the sourness in his eyes, "That sounds nice."

Sheng Yanwen easily discerned the lover's duplicity, followed him and asked, "Then tell me."

"It is said that if I have to go abroad for two years because of my adoptive parents..."

Shi Zhou no longer cared about the risk of being exposed, and asked in a hypothetical way.

"In the past two years, the number of times we have met can't be counted on one finger. Your career is getting busier and more successful, and I am gradually becoming marginalized in the entertainment circle..."

Every time Shi Zhou said a word, Sheng Yanwen frowned.There was an inexplicable tingling feeling in his mind, and some fragments of memories that had never been experienced but were real gradually emerged.

At the end of Shi Zhou's speech, he frowned at Shang Sheng Yanwen, "What will you do?"

This is the question he wants to know the most so far, and the one he cares about the most.

Sheng Yanwen didn't blame him for his 'unconstrained style', but asked, "Then do you still plan to return to the entertainment industry?"

Shi Zhou murmured, "Will you act differently if you return or not?"

"Of course it will be different."

Sheng Yanwen hugged him and did not let go, analyzing specific issues in detail.

"If you are willing to come back, I will do everything possible to help you gain a firm foothold in the industry. Of course, I don't need you to bear the pressure to fight for your career, as long as you can make scripts you like."

"If you choose to fade out of the entertainment circle completely, then I will follow you out of the circle."

Shi Zhou was taken aback, "Retire?"

Sheng Yanwen was not ambiguous at all, "According to what you said, Shidi has already taken it, and I have earned enough money, so why should I get stuck in the entertainment industry? If you don't go abroad to find you, your wife will be gone."

When Shi Zhou heard the second half of the sentence, there was a trace of a smile at the end of his eyes, "What kind of wife, don't talk nonsense."

Sheng Yanwen half sighed sincerely, and half took the opportunity to tease him, "What should I do? I suddenly feel a little envious of myself in your assumption."

"Ok?"

"At least in your assumption, we are already husband and wife, aren't we?"

Shi Zhou finally let out a laugh.

Sheng Yan heard that he had regained his usual look, and apologized softly, "Zhouzhou, I admit that I have a strong desire to control, and I will do what I decide."

"Knowing that we haven't been dating for a long time, I unilaterally ordered a wedding ring. If it scares you tonight, it's my fault."

"But I really want to spend the rest of my life with you. People with the right aura can attract each other, and even if something goes wrong, they can get along well."

"There are some promises that others may not be able to keep, but I can definitely do it. Can you have more confidence in yourself and me?"

Shi Zhou's thoughts moved slightly, "Yes."

Sheng Yanwen chased after the victory, "If you think this proposal is too fast and immature, it's okay to refuse, but there is only one thing you have to agree to."

Shi Zhou asked back, "What?"

Sheng Yanwen was very serious, "I am the best, you are not allowed to fall in love with others."

Shi Zhou smiled and leaned against his lover's arms, finally no longer entangled, "Yanwen, then give me the ring."

Sheng Yan heard that his thoughts faltered, "Give you the ring?"

Shi Zhou went to hook the ring box he had hidden in Tang Pao's pocket, and responded to the promise in a joking way, "You're right, we're both in high demand, why don't we reserve each other in advance? Okay?"

The ring box reopened, revealing that heart-pounding brilliance.

"Are you ready? Our wedding rings."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

Sheng Yan curled his lips, and put the ring he had prepared so hard on Shi Zhou's ring finger.

The size is just right.

It is a natural match, and it is also lost and found.

Staring at the ring, Shi Zhou felt more relaxed and comfortable than at this moment, and he kissed the ring in front of Sheng Yanwen.

The moment the lips touched the coolness, the sour feeling that had been suppressed suddenly emerged.

pat.

The tears fell as soon as they were said, from suppressed sobbing to gradually changing into uncontrollable crying.

"What, what's wrong?"

Sheng Yanwen had never seen Shi Zhou so out of control, from distressed to flustered, he could only embrace him in his arms to comfort him, "Zhou Zhou, don't cry, I'm here."

Familiar air enveloped.

Shi Zhou hugged Sheng Yanwen tightly, calling his lover's name over and over again, stubbornly trying to make up for the two years of love lost in his memory.

Finally, the last remaining knot in my heart was opened——

It turns out that in front of Sheng Yanwen, he doesn't need to be as perfect as Lou Keqin said, nor does he need to use his career status to elevate his sense of existence in this relationship.

It turns out that as long as he is Shi Zhou, Sheng Yanwen will love him unconditionally.

...

After venting his indulgence for a long time, Shi Zhou felt relieved.

Sheng Yanwen looked at his eyes soaked in red, rubbed his fingertips lightly, "If I knew you would cry like this, I shouldn't have let you see this ring box on purpose."

Shi Zhou hooked his arm, and his voice moistened by crying was soft, "No, I'm just happy."

Sheng Yanwen kissed his red nose, helplessly, "Crying like this when you're happy?"

Shi Zhou took a breath and suddenly recalled, "Wait, you just said 'intentionally' to let me see this ring box?"

"..."

Sheng Yanwen didn't expect his lover to react now, coughing with a tickle in his throat.

Shi Zhou pinched his Adam's apple mole, "What do you mean, what kind of mobile phone do you want me to charge?"

Sheng Yanwen knew that he couldn't hide it, "Originally I carried this ring with me, and I didn't intend for you to find out today, but I just remembered what you and Director Sun said at the dinner party in the bathroom, so I impulsively..."

Shi Zhou didn't listen to Sheng Yanwen's words, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.

Whether it is impulsive or planned for a long time, as long as he is the owner of the ring, he is the one in the heart of the rumors, and he is the person who will join hands for the rest of his life, that's enough.

Love to a strong place.

The two exchanged a kiss on the verge of getting out of hand.

Sheng Yanwen withdrew slightly, his lustful voice seductive, "Since you looked through my bag, did you see the things in the compartment? Last time I didn't prepare for New Year's Eve, this time it's different."

Shi Zhou's cheeks were hot, and he rolled his Adam's apple unconsciously.

Speaking of it, the history is really surprisingly similar. The first time he and Sheng Yanwen were in this hot spring hotel was also today.

The first time the ban was lifted was like an unconfined wild animal, running amok until the third day when Shi Zhou reluctantly got out of bed.

He clearly promised to celebrate the holiday, but when he finally left, he didn't get a serious hot spring bath.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhou quickly said, "Wait a minute, it's still early, let's soak in the hot spring first, shall we?"

Sheng Yan raised his brows slightly, "Can't we wake up tomorrow?"

Shi Zhouchao complained in a low voice, "...you may not be able to get up tomorrow."

Sheng Yanwen, who was very close, obviously heard this sentence clearly, and there was an inexplicable smugness in his smile, "Okay, listen to you."

He hugged Shi Zhou in front of him, and walked step by step towards the glass open-air soup pool in the courtyard, "The hot spring can't stay for long, let's soak for 10, [-], [-] minutes?"

"it is good."

...

The quality of the hot springs in this resort center is famous, and Shizhou let out a comfortable sigh as soon as he entered the water.

Sheng Yanwen looked at the ring in his hand and felt satisfied, "Zhouzhou."

"Ok?"

"When there is a chance, let me meet your parents." Sheng Yanwen expressed his thoughts.

"I know you said that your mother does not approve of same-sex relationships, but we have decided to live a lifetime, and I should try to get their blessings."

"At least, it can make you feel at ease."

Shi Zhou was moved, remembering that Lou Keqin's paranoia was all because of Shi Zhou's death, and then remembered that it was probably a man-made accident that fell into the sea.

Today is a special day, and some unexpected events are not easy to mention.

"Yanwen, wait for the Spring Festival to take you to see your parents, but I will also give you a guarantee - whether they agree or refuse, I will not let go of your hand."

"it is good."

The two smiled at each other.

Shi Zhou suddenly noticed the small red bump on his lover's neck, and immediately paid attention to it, "Yanwen, are you allergic? The rash appeared again."

Sheng Yanwen couldn't see what was happening on his neck, but when he mentioned 'allergies', he really felt a little dizzy.

"I drank Director Sun's glass of wine today, so it should be fine. It probably came out after soaking in the hot spring."

"Then you should not stay too long." After Shi Zhou finished speaking, he also felt a little dizzy.

Sheng Yanwen looked at the hot and flushed cheeks, and stood up proactively, "I'll go get some warm water first, and soak for a while if you like it."

"it is good."

Seeing Sheng Yanwen's back entering the room, Shi Zhou rubbed the ring fondly, letting his thoughts run wild——

Up to now, he no longer cares about the 'time node' that the system calls.

Whether he stays here or returns five years later, he has regained the courage and self-confidence he should have in this relationship, and even his life experience, which was difficult to talk about before, has become a fearless existence.

All of this is inseparable from Sheng Yanwen's love for him.

Shi Zhou was leaning against the edge of the soup pool alone, and his pajamas ran over while he was relaxing. In a daze, he heard the most mechanical voice from the system——

【Ding! No.15 host data collection is complete!Time node option has been turned on! 】

"..."

When Shi Zhou, who was about to fall into a coma, heard this sound, he wanted to raise his eyes, but unfortunately, his eyelids seemed to be pressed with heavy weights, as if he was back in the taxi back then, his vision and consciousness were all white.

Shi Zhou only felt that his body kept falling, and the heat of the hot spring covered his mouth and nose.

- Words and hearings.

With the last of his consciousness he shouted in his heart

...

At the same time, Sheng Yanwen, who had just finished pouring the water, felt something was wrong telepathically.

"Zhouzhou!"

As soon as Sheng Yanwen took a step outside, an unprecedented tingling sensation appeared in his mind, and those images that were deeply stored in his memory poured out and merged bit by bit.

The hand holding the water glass suddenly let go, and the glass fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

【--Ding!An out-of-routine hazard has been detected!The system has automatically turned on the world fusion mode! 】
