Lin Jingran actually took You Kexin for a walk. In the evening, a luxury brand held a dinner, and You Kexin asked Lin Jingran to go along, and he went obediently - after all, Chen Jingwei had specifically instructed him before they left, and although he was reluctant, he obeyed her.

"Where's your girlfriend? She's not with you?" She asked indirectly on the way there, and Lin Jingran actually followed her words and said, "She's busy."

"What's her name?" You Kexin had been staring at him, with stars almost coming out of her eyes - whether he had a girlfriend or not, she wanted him.

"I'll take you to see him when the time comes." He smiled and looked at her again.

"Won't she be angry if you accompany me?" she asked him deliberately.

"No," Lin Jingran quickly answered her, "She is very generous."

"Oh," she nodded, "Let's meet up when we get a chance."

"Yeah." Lin Jingran agreed without changing his expression or heartbeat.

I actually met an acquaintance at the dinner, the brand’s newly announced spokesperson for Greater China – Liao Ke.

Coincidentally, Tianchuang Media had just invested in one of her TV series - a few days ago she had dinner with producer Lin Jingran and his team.

"Boss Lin," Liao Ke took the opportunity to talk to Lin Jingran while You Kexin was greeting others, "Girlfriend?"

"Don't," Lin Jingran hurriedly stopped her, "Don't talk nonsense, she is not, she is..."

"What is it?" Liao Ke stared at him with a smile, trying to find an answer.

"We are friends, old friends." Lin Jingran put his hands in his pockets and looked at her, "Why are you here too?"

"Boss Lin," Liao Ke looked at him as if he were a monster, "I'm their spokesperson."

"Oh," he suddenly realized, "I forgot."

"She's not your girlfriend, so why are you here with her?" Liao Ke teased him again, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Isn't it an arranged marriage or something?"

"Nonsense," Lin Jingran disagreed and soon fell into deep thought, "But it is indeed a bit troublesome. I have to find a girlfriend quickly."

Liao Ke suddenly took his arm and said, "I am your girlfriend."

"?" Lin Jingran frowned.

"Don't be like that," she also frowned, "You've been accompanying another girl today, and I'm angry."

"Jingran," You Kexin came over again and looked at them with a smile, "Where have you been? You were talking to a female star,"

"Oh, this is Liao Ke." Lin Jingran looked at Liao Ke and introduced him softly, "This is You Kexin, my... friend."

"Hello," You Kexin took the initiative to shake hands with her.

"Hello," Liao Ke shook her hand generously, "Did Jing Ran have fun with you today?"

"Ah?" You Kexin was wondering how she knew that, but Liao Ke suddenly took Lin Jingran's arm and said coquettishly, "My boyfriend usually doesn't have time to accompany me, but today he has been someone else's personal tour guide for the entire day."

You Kexin no longer had a smile on her face. She just looked at Lin Jingran woodenly: "Is she the girlfriend you are talking about?"

Lin Jingran coughed, made eye contact with Liao Ke, and quickly nodded: "Yes."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" You Kexin took Liao Ke's hand in a familiar manner, "Then you are my sister-in-law."

"No, no," Liao Ke still looked unhappy, "He never took me home, so I'm not his sister-in-law."

Lin Jingran was just sighing in his heart that actors are actors after all, and their acting is so good when Liao Ke called him again, and he finally reacted.

"Come and sit down, the dinner is about to begin."

"Okay," Lin Jingran nodded, "see you later."

·"Um."

·

After the dinner, You Kexin still took Lin Jingran's car home - she lived in Chen Jingwei's house.

"Your last girlfriend was also a female star, right?" You Kexin chatted with him expressionlessly.

Lin Jingran nodded and said "hmm".

"You just like female stars?" She turned around and gave him a strange look.

"No," Lin Jingran answered subconsciously, and then quickly added, "I just like him more."

"Does having a good eye mean being pretty?" She continued to tease him sourly.

"It's beautiful... isn't it?" He even laughed as he spoke, "Okay, go back and rest early."

"You really do have a girlfriend." You Kexin was very dissatisfied and continued to complain, "Auntie clearly said you were single."

"They don't know," Lin Jingran couldn't hide the smile on his face, "How could they know my private affairs?"

"You hid it really well." You Kexin praised.

Lin Jingran just smiled and said nothing. He heaved a sigh of relief at this point - he knew that You Kexin's crisis had been resolved peacefully.

After sending her off, Lin Jingran went back to Hengyue to rest. He casually flipped through the Weibo of the stray pet rescue station that Lin Yingfei mentioned, and accidentally found a photo of Lin Yingci - a photo of her and Wang Zhenzhen at the base, where they appeared to be volunteering, and the date was last month.

She looks plain but still dazzlingly beautiful in the photo, with her hair pinned up with a shark clip. She still looks like a little girl - still the most beautiful and eye-catching person in the crowd.

How come he didn't know when I returned to Shanghai?

Why have two people who were once the closest of each other become so estranged now?

She looked through Lin Yingci's Instagram again. She hadn't updated her Moments for a long time.

How are she and Akihiro doing? Will she also think of him in the dead of night?

At night, his dream took him back to the past. In the study room that belonged to them, on the single sofa in front of the French window, she sat on his lap and hugged his neck intimately: "Do you have anything you are pursuing, anything you want?"

He also put his arm around her waist: "Yes, you."

In a blink of an eye, she arrived at the bustling banquet hall. She stood on the stage in a beautiful green dress:

"Become the light in the galaxy, and illuminate the people around you"

The audience immediately burst into fierce applause. He was looking at her from the audience, and she was also looking at him on the stage. Their eyes met, and love surged.

...In a blink of an eye, he came to the warm room again. Her eyes were as bright as stars, staring at him earnestly:

"What if you had a girlfriend at that time?"

"Break up with her and chase you,"

"Really?"

"Really, as long as I meet you, it must be you."

The dream changed, and the warm room suddenly turned into a cold ward. Xiaoci looked at the person on the bed and cried, shouting "Dad". Lin Jingran walked forward, but found that the person on the bed turned out to be Lin Yingci. She was very thin and pale.

"Xiaoci," he approached her, feeling unable to breathe and extremely heartbroken, "what's wrong with you?"

"You have to be fine." She looked at him with red eyes and tears on her face.

"Xiaoci?"

In the blink of an eye, the person in front of him disappeared. Lin Jingran was instantly unable to breathe, and felt that his body was breaking apart piece by piece. Suddenly he woke up, sweating profusely. After realizing that it was just a dream, he tried to calm down and quickly went to the window to light a cigarette.

But I couldn't calm down for a long time.

The pain in the dream was too real, he still felt breathless. He opened the chat room with her on WeChat and couldn't help asking: Are you okay?
