you after the mist

Jiang Ning heard the doorbell ring, scratched his hair irritably, and struggled to get up.As soon as he got off the plane, he went back to the filming crew and finished work an hour ago.I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately on the bed.

"Isn't it going to start filming again? Didn't it mean tomorrow afternoon?" Jiang Ning thought, and didn't open it immediately when he reached the door, but just asked someone.He had the experience of having an illegitimate meal in the hotel before, so he had to be more cautious.

Someone outside the door answered.The voice was not high, but to Yu Jiangning, it was like thunder exploding in his ears, and the drowsiness disappeared instantly.Jiang Ning opened the door. Tang Ran was wearing a mask and hat, only showing a pair of eyes.The two looked at each other, Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly staggered away, "Why are you here?"

"Can I go in and talk?"

He took a step to the side uncomfortably, "Come in."

Jiang Ning went into the bedroom, put on a coat and came out, walked to the light switch, and wanted to brighten the living room, Tang Ran suddenly asked, "Is Lin Yi your father?"

With a trembling hand, he pressed all the switches, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.

Jiang Ning didn't answer, and didn't move again until Tang Ran walked to his side and pressed the button again, "Really?"

Jiang Ning moved his Adam's apple with great difficulty, "When did you know?"

He admitted it, and Tang Ran thought, "It doesn't matter when I found out, when did you find out?" He took off his mask, went back to the living room, dragged a chair and sat down.

"Is this important?" Jiang Ning was ambiguous.

"You don't want to answer me? Then I'll change the question." Tang Ran knocked on the table leisurely, and said in the calmest tone possible, "Why did we break up? Are these two things connected?"

"No matter why we broke up, we have already separated, and there is no point in pursuing these now." Jiang Ning turned his back to him, and his tone was exhausted.

"I thought so too." Tang Ran said, "Until I found out that I met a woman named Shu Ru in my junior year, what role did she play in our breakup? There should be a right to know."

When he uttered this name, Jiang Ning's heart suddenly paused, but he quickly calmed down, "Why bother, if you just came to ask this today, our topic can be over. You already have your new Your life, everything in the past, is not worth your troubles."

"I have a new life? Did you imagine something I didn't even know? I've been trapped for so many years because of your shit, and you just sent me away like this?" Tang Ran felt that his calm mask was almost About to be crushed by Jiang Ning, he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't come here to argue with you today, and I don't want to go around in circles with you again. Please make it clear that I won't bother you again in the future. I didn't act like this."

He kept saying that it was not a quarrel, but his whole body was shaking with anger, and he squeezed a teacup so hard that he could crush it in a second.

Jiang Ning finally noticed something was wrong, he hesitated and walked to Tang Ran's side, carefully took the cup from his hand and put it aside.

"I've looked for you..." He held the corner of the table without raising his head, "but you already have someone else."

"Others?" Tang Ran couldn't make sense of his words, his eyes were full of doubts, "When?"

"We gave an award together once, do you remember?" Jiang Ning breathed unevenly, as if drowning, "I wanted to find you after that day, but there was someone beside you. I followed your car to the garage..."

Tang Ran suddenly realized, "It's you?"

He still had the impression of the car lights that night, both he and Shen Xi noticed it.There was also a faint worry about whether it was a reporter, but under such circumstances, neither of them mentioned it. Afterwards, no news broke out, and the matter passed away.

"I saw..."

"Enough, I know." Tang Ran raised his hand to interrupt him, all kinds of details flashed through his mind, and Jiang Ning's abnormal behavior was explained.

"Shen Xi and I..." He bit the bullet and continued to explain, "We were indeed together once, but nothing happened. We ended that night and talked for about three months. I..."

Tang Ran looked up at his face, Jiang Ning's expression couldn't tell whether it was surprise, regret or vague joy, "Did you hear me talking to Qin Yunlian at school that day? Do you think I'm still talking to Shen Xi now? together?"

Jiang Ning nodded imperceptibly, and sat down against the table.It's not that he didn't notice Tang Ran's almost suggestive actions these days, but he wondered if he wanted to reconcile too much and misinterpreted the other party's intentions.After all, when Shen Xi came to visit Tang Ran, they got along so harmoniously and naturally in the ward.That day on the mountain, he thought about it for a long time, and decided to give it another try out of the idea of ​​breaking the can, but when he went to the kitchen to get the watch, he heard Qin Yunlian's words again.

It turned out that they were still together. Jiang Ning still remembered his near-desperate mood at that time. He forgot how he quietly left from outside the kitchen. When he regained his sanity, he had already lost several cigarette butts under his feet.

"I think, I think if you can be with a woman, it's easier than being with me." After he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, but Tang Ran could hear every word clearly.

"You're always thinking, do you know what I think? I can indeed be with women. If they don't need love, it's not like I can't live on." Tang Ran raised her face slightly, "It was Shen Xi who wanted to break up at the time, if If she doesn't mention it, we may already be married. But she doesn't want a husband who doesn't love her, and I can't give what she wants. Because I already gave it to you, but you left and didn't give it back to me."

"Tang Ran." Jiang Ning wanted to shake his hand, but Tang Ran gently dodged it. "Can you talk now? Why did we separate? What happened to Shu Ru?"

Jiang Ning stared at his empty hand, and after a while, he opened his mouth in a low voice.

The first half of the story is the same as what Xu Yunqing told, but the young son owes a lot of favors.But later, it was different from Tao Liyang's guess. Lin Yi went to find Jiang Ning, and didn't intend to recognize him immediately.

"After I went, he came to see me. He didn't say anything, just gossip, and then he went back to N City. I just thought he was approachable and didn't think much about it. He probably hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet. Firstly, his wife is still there, and secondly, he can’t figure out what kind of attitude I have. He just wants me to be under his control. At first, he arranged a small role, but later he said that he would stay for a month if he wanted to add more dramas. Left and right, I didn't agree."

He took the remote control, raised the temperature of the air conditioner, and said, "The assistant director came to chat with me. I said that my lover is still in N City. We still have some things that have not been resolved. I will take pictures of the remaining points." I'll go back when I'm done."

Tang Ran kept his head down at first, and couldn't help but look at him when he heard this. "As a result, the next day, another woman came to me and said she wanted to have a chat with me."

"Shu Ru?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ning took out a photo on his phone and showed it to Tang Ran, "Do you remember this?"

Looking at Su Ru and himself on the screen, Tang Ran suddenly understood.

At that time, Su Ru expressed regret at Tang Ran's refusal, and asked to take a photo with him before Tang Ran left.

"My son is about the same age as you, but not as good as you." She smiled all over her face, "The law firm needs fresh blood like you. It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity this time. I hope you can come to work after you graduate. Seeing you today, I feel very lucky to take a photo, it is also a commemoration."

This request was not uncommon, but the other party acted sincerely, and at the same age as a mother, Tang Ran kindly agreed.

It now appears that it was a prepared trap.

Sure enough, Jiang Ning continued, "She found me with this and said it was your aunt."

"I have an aunt, but..."

"But I haven't seen it, and I haven't heard you say it." Jiang Ning's tone was helpless, "She said your parents are too busy, so ask her to come and talk to me."

"Chat? Let you break up with me?"

"It's not so straightforward." That afternoon, Shu Ru sat across from Jiang Ning, every word he said was like a thorn in his heart, and it was still very clear after all these years.

"Our family is not an old-fashioned family. Ran Ran likes boys. We can only respect him if we don't want to. As for the child, we just want him to live well. But" she changed the subject, "Do you think you can make him live well?" How are you doing? You may not know that Ran Ran has already decided not to go to Germany. He wants to stay, for you. His parents divorced early and did not care enough for him. Whoever treats him well will post it. You are young now, and you feel that your relationship is too big, and it is hard to guarantee that you will not regret it in the future. It is not because your gender makes our family feel inappropriate, there is too much difference between you, and you can do nothing but hinder him. "

Her voice was soft, but she possessed undeniable power. Jiang Ning wanted to refute, but found it impossible to do so.This is the truth, a voice inside him said.

"Do you believe it?" Jiang Ning's words made Tang Ran unable to move for a long time. This was simply a fantasy, and every plot was absurd. "When did my parents take care of me? You..., should I say that you care about chaos or that you are stupid? Or do you think she makes sense at all?"

Jiang Ning didn't answer, and the light shone on his snow-white neck, revealing a bit of pitifulness.

"What happened next?" Tang Ran couldn't wait for the next sentence, so he knocked on the table wearily.

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, and then continued.

After breaking up with Tang Ran, he sat on the windowsill all night.When Zhang Shuangli came to find him the next day, he was almost stiff from the cold wind, and his legs were numb.He wanted to get off the window sill, but his body was uncontrollable and he fell straight down.

He was seriously injured and sent to the hospital, which frightened Lin Yi.He rushed over from N City overnight.He arranged the best doctor for Jiang Ning and paid all his medical expenses. This behavior was so abnormal that it was hard for Jiang Ning not to be suspicious.Lin Yi also took advantage of the opportunity to confess their father-son relationship.

"He may have felt that my situation at the time just needed someone's attention. Suddenly losing a rich and powerful father would probably be easy to accept, and maybe he would be grateful to him." He had a slight mockery on his face. "I let him down. I found Meng Xin's number and sent her an anonymous text message, telling her that Lin Yi had an illegitimate child."

Tang Ran's complexion changed, and he glanced at him unexpectedly.

"It worked, he can't control me anymore." Jiang Ning said with a blank expression, "I signed Qi Wen later."

It's not likely that Lin Yi can't control him, at best it's only on the bright side, Tang Ran thought to himself.Just like what Tao Liyang said, Jiang Ning's dramas over the years have been solid one by one. Lin Yi couldn't have contributed, but he hid it well. It is estimated that Qi Wen's people didn't know about it, otherwise he wouldn't dare to bring such a scandal. Forcing Jiang Ning.

Tang Ran didn't make a sound, and let Jiang Ning continue. "After Meng Xin passed away, he kept in touch with me more. He always said that he had difficulties at the beginning, that he was sorry for my mother, and that he didn't know about my existence."

Jiang Ning admitted that his heart softened, maybe it was Lin Yi's nostalgic look when he mentioned Jiang Dishan, maybe it was his graying hair, or his blood flowing in his body, the reasons were not important, but he knew that he was indeed shaken up.

Lin Yi didn't directly ask him to change his contract to Yaoxing after the contract expired, but arranged a movie and hoped that he could act in it.

The director arranged for Gao Pingxin. He is one of the few people who knows Jiang Ning's identity. Jiang Ning has filmed many scenes for him, has been guided by him a lot, and respects him very much.Jiang Ning can smear Lin Yi's face, but it's hard to smear Gao Pingxin.But when he decided to go to Yaoxing to sign a drama contract, he bumped into Shu Ru.

"He forgot, or thought I forgot. He chose Shu Ru to do this at the time, because she was going to the United States soon, and it would be difficult for me to meet in the future. As a result..., after so long, the one who wants to hide is still hiding but."

The conflict between father and son broke out again, and Jiang Ning naturally did not sign the film contract.He found a bar and drank all night. The hallucinations brought about by alcohol allowed him to meet the people he wanted to see.

Tang Ran didn't ask if he was photographed by his assistant that day, nor did he ask why Jiang Ning took on the show again now, he didn't bother to mention it.

Tang Ran leaned against the back of the chair with a watery face, playing Jiang Ning's words back and forth in his ears, every word was like a thread, forming a net to trap him in it, I don't know if it also trapped Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning looked at his profile, feeling uneasy.He thought of the prisoner waiting to be sentenced in the court, confessed all the facts, but didn't know whether the judge would give him the death penalty or life sentence.

Finally, Tang Ran supported the table and stood up, "Excuse me today."

He walked towards the door until a force grabbed his arm, "Tang Ran, I..."

Tang Ran stopped and let him hold on. "Jiang Ning, these years I have been thinking that we separated so easily at that time, probably because I didn't love enough. Now I know, it's not that you don't love me, it's just that you don't believe me. Because you are afraid that I will give up on you, it's better to leave me first Right?"

"No, I just think..." He tried to defend himself, but was interrupted by Tang Ran with a louder voice.

"What do you think, why should you think about my affairs? If we are just two independent individuals, you have no right to make decisions for me. If you think that we are the other half of each other, we are complete together, you And why did you leave me, is it possible for a disabled person to live healthy?"

Tang Ran said, using all his strength to break free from him, and slammed the door away.

Tang Ran didn't even want to wait for the elevator. He opened the door of the safe passage next to him, held his breath, and rushed downstairs until he ran out of the hotel lobby. The cold wind blew, which cooled his feverish brain down a bit.

He took out his mask and put it on, found a bench next to a tree by the side of the road, sat down and called Tao Liyang.His speech was incoherent and his logic was messed up. Fortunately, Tao Liyang still understood.

"There is such a thing, my father helped Lin Yi write the book, right?" Tao Liyang was silent for a long time, and then he actually laughed.

"There is no end." Tang Ran kicked away the stones under his feet, "What should I do now?"

Tao Liyang stopped laughing, "Go back."

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to Jiangning." Tao Liyang said, "You called me, didn't you just wait for me to tell you this?"

"What nonsense?" Tang Ran quickly denied.

"Admit it, you have already made your own decision, but you just want someone to give you a push." ​​Tao Liyang became serious, "He gave up on you for your future, it's better than giving up for your own future, I don't know how much better When you left today, I was afraid that you would suffer. Now it seems that you two are in the same boat, and neither of you can gain the upper hand in this relationship. This is fine. Stop blowing outside and go back. In your situation, Sooner or later, you have to reconcile, even if you go back to N City now, two days later, you still have to find him. It’s better to solve the problem now.”

Tang Ran looked at the mottled shadows of the leaves under the street lamp, and said in a low voice for a long time, "Li Yang, thank you."

"Don't thank me. I'm just saying that other people are talking enthusiastically. It's normal for you to be a fan of the authorities." He yawned, "I'm relieved to see that you've settled down. It's worthwhile for me to wait for your call until midnight."

"Then you go to bed early, hang up, good night."

"Well, I'm asleep. But I guess you won't be able to rest tonight." Tao Liyang teased, and hung up the phone before Tang Ran could reply.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Tang Ran suddenly felt a slight pain in his metacarpal bone, and it was still a little red when he looked carefully, probably because he hit Jiang Ning too hard just now.Tang Ran looked around, and there was a 24-hour pharmacy opposite. The clerk was drowsy and didn't recognize him.Tang Ran bought a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao and walked towards the hotel.

Arriving at the hotel again, Jiang Ning's room door was wide open, but no one was in the room.Tang Ran looked around and dialed Jiang Ning's phone number.

He had never called the number, and he forgot where he got it, but he remembered it very clearly, and a number was not bad.

Jiang Ning hurried back, still in pajamas, without even changing into slippers.He rushed over and hugged Tang Ran, his arms were so tight that Tang Ran's back hurt.

"Go and close the door." Tang Ran reminded him.

"Where did you go?"

He went to sit on the sofa, and Jiang Ning followed.

"Go to the airport." Jiang Ning put the car keys on the coffee table.

"Find me at the airport?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Ning approached tentatively. Seeing that Tang Ran didn't respond, the corners of his mouth curved up a little. "I don't know where I'm going after I drive the car out of the garage. I can only go to the airport to try my luck."

"Can't you make a phone call?" Tang Ran was annoyed and funny.

"You were so angry just now, I'm afraid you won't answer." Jiang Ning slowly leaned over, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Sit up straight." Tang Ran pushed him, "Pull up the clothes and let me have a look."

"Ok?"

Tang Ran directly stretched out his hand to lift off his clothes, his left rib was a little bruised, but it wasn't too serious. "Sure enough, it hit."

He took the spray, sprayed it on the wound a few times, and rubbed it gently with the palm of his hand.

"You don't have to be so careful, it doesn't hurt at all." Jiang Ning comforted, "I didn't notice it if you didn't tell me."

"Do you think I believe it or not?" Tang Ran put the medicine aside.

Jiang Ning suddenly held his hand.

"Why?" Tang Ran looked at him from the corner of his eyes, his voice was full of laughter, like melting fruit candy.

Jiang Ning also smiled, stared at him for a while, held the back of his neck with the other hand, and kissed him slowly and firmly.

Then, he felt that it was indeed sweet.
