After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Today's love temperature: 45℃】

You're all right, but...

"I don't think Xu Zhinian is suitable for entering the entertainment industry." I said.

363

Of course he is not suitable for the entertainment industry.

He rejects physical contact, he's not used to being in crowds, he's terrified of public places.

If he becomes a star, his every move will be exposed under the spotlight.

And his past will be exposed one day and become a sharp blade against him.

Those malicious gossips are beyond his current state of mind.

364

But these cannot be told to Jiang Shengsheng.

365

"Brother." Jiang Shengsheng moved her head closer, "Actually Xu Zhinian sings really well."

I said, "I know."

366

Reminds me of the video I saw earlier.

On the stage of the Campus Singer Contest.

That young man full of vigor and confidence in his singing voice.

But he has disappeared.

367

Jiang Shengsheng said: "I think he can become a singer."

I still shook my head: "No."

Jiang Shengsheng was puzzled: "Why?"

I said: "The entertainment industry is too messy, his temper is easy to suffer."

Jiang Shengsheng looked at me in surprise: "Brother, can't you protect him?"

I:"?"

I asked, "What's the matter with me?"

367

Jiang Shengsheng looked at me with strange eyes.

"elder brother."

I replied coldly: "Yes."

She said, "Do you know that you will be scolded for doing this?"

I:"……"

368

I think that although I can't say that I have done my best for Xu Zhinian, I still take good care of his basic necessities of life.

How did Jiang Shengsheng become a scumbag?

369

I am wronged.

370

Jiang Shengsheng took a deep breath and said, "You are also a bigwig in the business world, even if you don't give him any resources or investment, it will be fine to protect him from being bullied."

I interrupted her: "It's useless to say more, he won't enter the entertainment industry, he can't go to public places with many people."

"I see." Jiang Shengsheng was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly his face showed a sudden understanding, "It must be that you don't like him being exposed to the public eye."

371

That sounds fine.

But from Jiang Shengsheng's mouth, it always feels a little strange.

372

I asked her, "What strange place did you think of?"

Jiang Shengsheng said, "I haven't."

I said, "I don't believe it."

Jiang Shengsheng changed the subject and said, "Brother, you said just now that you would not interfere with Niannian's future, but what are you doing now?"

I asked: "What's wrong with me?"

Jiang Shengsheng said: "You rejected my proposal without even thinking about it, and you didn't even ask Niannian's opinion."

I said, "I have my reasons."

"No matter what the reason." Jiang Shengsheng said, "You are making a decision for him."

I was silent for a moment.

It seems impossible to refute.

373

"Brother, look." Jiang Shengsheng said, "In your subconscious mind, you have already divided Niannian into your own wings."

374

My heart sank slowly.

Looking back at the conversation between myself and Jiang Shengsheng, I have to admit that she was right.

375

Jiang Shengsheng said: "I remember when you were a child, you raised a cat."

I said, "Yes."

Jiang Shengsheng asked: "Do you like it?"

I replied without hesitation: "I don't like it."

Jiang Shengsheng just laughed: "But you know what, when I was young, you wouldn't even let me touch that cat."

I frowned: "Is there?"

"Yes." Jiang Shengsheng nodded seriously, "Brother, you are always like this. You say you don't like it, but you really like it in your heart."

376

I suspect she wasn't talking about cats.

But I have no proof.

377

Jiang Shengsheng said: "Actually, I didn't mean to tell you this."

I asked, "Which ones?"

"It's... what to do every year." Jiang Shengsheng sighed, "During this time, I was taking him to play. I can see that he has almost no other social activities except us, but he is not like this temper."

"In your eyes, what kind of temperament is he?" I asked.

Jiang Shengsheng said: "His personality is actually very cheerful, but he always... closes himself up. I don't know why. Now that I think about it, it might be because of you."

I am a little funny: "Because of me?"

Jiang Shengsheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's because of your desire to possess and control, because of your dislike... His attitude towards you is too dependent and trusting."

I shook my head, noncommittal.

378

She was right to observe.

It's just that she got it wrong.

Xu Zhinian's closure was not because of me.

On the contrary, it was his dependence and trust that aroused the desire for monopoly and control in my bones.

379

Jiang Shengsheng finally said: "I was just thinking, if I'm gone, how lonely and lonely he would be here alone."

"So I hope, let him have something to do, at least, go out and see the outside world."

380

I have to admit.

Regarding Xu Zhinian, Jiang Shengsheng indeed has a more thorough understanding than me.

I said that I hope Xu Zhinian can come out of the shadow of the past, but in fact I left him at home as a decoration and rarely asked.

I didn't even think about his future seriously.

381

why?

Maybe it's because... subconsciously, I really regard him as my own.

— like that cat.

382

But Xu Zhinian is human.

I can't treat him like a pet.

383

During this period of self-cultivation, Xu Zhinian's other injuries are almost healed.

Only the hideous scar on the back is still showing off its might.

When I was taking the medicine, Xu Zhinian asked me, "It must be ugly, right?"

I comforted him: "It's not ugly."

He didn't believe it, and wanted to turn his head to look, but he couldn't see it.

I couldn't help pressing his shoulder: "Don't move."

Xu Zhinian obediently did not move.

384

I said, "Whether it's ugly or not, you can't see it anyway."

Xu Zhinian was a little depressed: "But others will see it."

"You usually wear clothes." I asked. "Who would see?"

Xu Zhinian thought for a while before saying, "You, you will see."

385

I said, "Then I say it's not ugly, why don't you believe me?"

Xu Zhinian asked in a daze: "Really?"

"Really." I said, "Anyway, in my eyes, it's not ugly."

386

I'm telling the truth.

Xu Zhinian suddenly seemed shy for some reason, and buried his head in his hands.

But the reddish ears betrayed him.

387

Like, a little cute?

388

After taking the medicine, I called out his name: "Xu Zhinian."

He stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

I said, "There is something I want to talk to you about."

He walked up to me immediately, looking a little nervous.

389

I asked him, "How do you feel these days?"

Xu Zhinian pinched the corner of his clothes with his hands, and said, "Very, very good."

He stammered for a while before continuing, "Mr. Jiang has always taken good care of me."

I said: "The money I asked you from Yan Zhizhe is enough for you to spend decades—as long as you don't spend too much."

Xu Zhinian shook his head: "I won't spend his money all the time."

"Then have you thought about what you're going to do in the future?" I paused, and added, "After moving out of here."

He was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he looked at me aggrievedly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Jiang...are you going to drive me away?"

390

No.

That was not what I meant.

391

I quickly said, "I just said that casually."

Xu Zhinian lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

I went on to say: "You have a long time to come, I just want to ask you, do you have any thoughts about the future?"

Xu Zhinian was a little confused: "I also...don't know."

Recalling what Jiang Shengsheng said, I asked, "Do you want to be a star or a singer? I remember that you like to sing. If you have this intention, I can help you too."

Xu Zhinian shook his head: "Singing is just a hobby, I never thought about becoming a singer."

I asked him, "So what do you want to do?"

Xu Zhinian fell into deep thought.

392

The room fell silent for a moment.

I thought about it and asked him, "Then have you ever thought about...going back to study?"

His body froze suddenly.

Then he raised his head and looked straight at me with dark eyes.

"Can I... keep reading?"

393

"Of course." I said firmly.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

394

That was the first time I saw such a strong desire in his eyes.
