There is a tiger sniffing the rose in my heart

On the day before the press conference started, Jinran felt that he probably spent the most relaxing 24 hours since he entered this circle - all the work has come to an end, the problems that should be dealt with will be dealt with soon, and the most important thing is that there is someone around him Accompanied by himself, he spent the whole day curled up on the sofa with the TV on and playing a movie but did not watch it, instead staring at the tall man in simple home clothes walking barefoot on the carpet Walking back and forth with a slight rustling sound, until a peeled apple fell from the sky in front of Lian, he took a bite of the apple, raised his eyelids, and saw the man standing in front of him and the faintly exposed abdominal muscles under his open neckline , the moment he swallowed the apple, he felt as if he had become a fat hamster again.

"From now on, I can open my eyes and wait to eat like this every day, and go to bed when I am full and sleepy? I didn't expect that I would live the life of a retired veteran cadre in advance." Jin Ran said, "It's obviously in the prime of life."

"If you can't spare, I can arrange a job for you at home."

At this time, Jiang Chuan was looking down at the recipe in front of him, probably because of guilt or something, he has been very responsive to the black-haired young man these days, even if the other party asks "make me a dinner", in his opinion, it is simply absurd The request of the Arabian Nights, since he was born, he has never cooked a meal for anyone seriously. When he got up in the morning, he asked Finn to send a bunch of recipe books, although for those who have to study how to turn on the induction cooker Things like recipe books are useless, but he still firmly believes that his IQ can crush everything.

At least it’s okay to cook a meal for his wife who is going to the battlefield tomorrow—yes, he can suddenly understand the feelings of the parents of the candidates who are about to take the college entrance examination in China that he saw on TV some time ago, which is similar to that kind of... …Worried that my son would not eat well and would be so excited that he would faint in the examination room the next day.

Jiang Chuan let out a long sigh, and turned over a page of the recipe book in his hand: "The tomato and egg drop soup doesn't seem to be difficult, and it won't kill anyone."

"Yes, but first you have to learn how to beat eggs, don't look at me, I've agreed that you cook, of course I won't help - what kind of work do you want to arrange for me?" Jin Ran took a bite of the apple , by the way, he licked his fingertips splashed with juice and said absently, "I only know how to act."

Regarding the black-haired young man's hard-hearted heart, Jiang Chuan showed him a mocking expression: "It is enough to know how to act. Occasionally we like to do some empty-handed white wolf business. It is really impossible to do business without some strong acting skills."

Jinran stopped biting at the apple, lay down on the sofa with the apple in his mouth, and stared straight at the man not far away. The latter raised his head and glanced at him, emphasizing firmly: "Ironware business."

"..."

Jinran rolled her eyes at him a few times, then returned to the sofa heavily, and gigglingly replied to all the greetings from familiar and unfamiliar relatives and friends, such as WeChat, text messages, etc., and then hung up a phone call at home. There is nothing important about the phone call, it is just to chat about some daily life, to report that you are safe, and when you are about to hang up the phone, you can clearly feel his mother hesitated a little, so the relaxed mood before was slightly tense, just as Jinran thought When Yuan Mei was about to say something, she didn't expect that the other party just lowered her voice and said, "If you have time, take him home and have a look."

Jinran was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously stretched his neck and looked over the back of the sofa to look at the man not far away. The latter seemed to sense his gaze, raised his head and gave him an inexplicable look and asked him with his mouth, "What? "Ghost", shook his head cautiously, threw away the eaten apples, and said to the phone with a smile: "I've seen it before, and I'll bring that one home during the Chinese New Year."

Hearing the words, Jiang Chuan seemed to have guessed what was on the phone, his face became stiff, and he straightened his waist slightly from the table. He closed the recipe book he was flipping through with a bang, and after thinking about it, he seemed to be somewhere He opened the book again as if he was wrong, until the black-haired young man on the sofa hung up the phone with a smile, and then he said: "If I had known this, I would have behaved better when I went to your house last time."

"Farewell," Jin Ran pursed her lips, "It's good enough, my mother almost doesn't remember who is her real son."

Jiang Chuan seemed satisfied with this statement.

After the conversation was over, the two went to their respective positions, what to do, lying on the sofa, turned his head, and unexpectedly found that his early movie was playing on the TV, in which he was still a supporting role, his acting skills were jerky, and the camera was pulled I can still see faint dark circles under the eyelids, probably because I stayed up late the night before memorizing the script... When the movie was playing, I unexpectedly found that I could still clearly remember "ah, take this shot I ng a few times when I was in the middle of the night”, “I was too embarrassed to walk out of the fitting room for the first time in an ancient costume, and I tripped over the hem of the robe” and other details… I looked at it with great interest for a while, and I felt young no matter how I looked at it. Sometimes he was being silly in various ways, but he kept giggling while sitting in front of the TV when the plot was obviously very serious.

There were still about twelve hours before the press conference.

Jinran suddenly felt lucky.

Along the way, he has already owned more things than he imagined, and they have probably become something he is proud of and deeply engraved into his bone marrow, no matter who or how Such rumors cannot be erased—when he is old, he may still sit in front of the TV and watch these things again. At that time, he will still laugh out foolishly like now. enough.

……

The next day was a rare rainy weather in midsummer.

I haven't seen Father-in-law Sun since the morning, and when I cleaned up and walked out of the gate of Jiangchuan Villa and climbed into the company's car, it started to drizzle.Fang Yu had been waiting in the car early in the morning. After waiting for a long time, he finally got the black-haired young man down. As a result, when the latter got into the car and took off his sunglasses, he was instantly caught by two big dark circles on his face and The deathly pale face frightened half of the soul——

"What the hell, do you want to be so sad? If you don't like it, you can come out and no one is forcing you," the manager held the black-haired young man's face and "tsk tsk tsk" for a long time, looking distressed, "Last night So entangled that you didn't sleep all night?"

Indeed, the black-haired young man who didn't get enough sleep all night slapped the agent's paw away with a dark face: "The lesson of history is not to let someone who has never cooked cook for you on a whim--fucking all night, I On average, he runs to the toilet once an hour. He has nothing to do with himself. He still has the face to tell me to close the toilet door. Keep your voice down... I won’t come out in a while, and I’ll tell the reporter below that I’m going to have diarrhea in the middle of it. Ahhhhhhh my God, I am an idol star, even if I am leaving the stage, I hope to be gorgeous and chic, why on earth does this kind of fantasy happen to me!"

Fang Yu: "..."

At this time, the black-haired young man sitting next to Mr. Manager had already turned on the front camera of the mobile phone and looked left and right: "Do you want to put some powder on it?"

Fang Yu said expressionlessly: "Would you like to put on some more lipstick? You can stop there and announce loudly: I have endured for so many years, and I can finally wear lipstick openly!"

Jin Ran put the phone away: "You're so annoying, I'm about to come out."

Fang Yu: "Well said, coming out of the closet is not about dying."

Then the heavy atmosphere was swept away.

Until Jinran arrived at the CK Building, where the press conference was held, and looked at the sea of ​​people on the third floor and the third floor, including the small media who had not received the invitation letter for the press conference, and the staff members of other big media arranged outside the venue, More and more are ordinary passer-by fans, holding signs with Yuan Jinran's name in their hands, and there are all kinds of words of encouragement and encouragement on the signs. How many people will insist on standing there, but at least at this moment, Jinran doesn't want to have any doubts about them.

Looking out through the foggy window, I found that most of the people present did not bring rain gear, and the rain from the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping at all. The life assistant of the seat told him to ask someone to arrange for the distribution of the next disposable rain gear. The little assistant immediately called and arranged for someone to do it without hesitation. Seeing this, he smiled and teased: "Not bad, you are so obedient, I thought you didn't want to talk to me, an old man who is about to pass away."

"This is the last ride for you." Fang Yu said coolly beside him, "Don't make fun of yourself."

"No way," the little assistant turned his head in front of him, showing a clear smile at Jinran, "I'm used to listening to Brother Ran, so I don't think today is the end of the day, and I will follow Brother Ran in the future." messed up."

The order at the scene was fine, besides the security personnel of the venue itself, there were countless professional-looking men in black suits stopping there, but after looking at them, they were all foreigners, wondering when the im company was so rich I heard Fang Yu say next to me: "Your young master got them all. See the bulge around their waists? It's a gun. He actually managed to get it for them to carry in just a few days. The document for this thing's entry."

And when they were talking, they knew that "his young master" might just get out of bed and turn on the TV. This was the result of their hard work last night. Jiang Chuan wanted to follow, but he didn't Let, there is no reason, in short, he just won't let.

When the car stopped, I got out of the car. The time was about [-]:[-], and the press conference started at [-]:[-].

At 55:[-], Jin Ran walked to the stage. At this time, all the reporters and the media had already taken their seats. The scene was very quiet, and only a few people could be heard whispering sporadically. Most of the reporters were bowing their heads. Prepare manuscripts and pens, and the photographers also adjust the focus behind the camera.

When Jinran sat down on the stage, those people seemed to come back to their senses, and the venue suddenly had the sound of "buzzing" conversations. Other than that, everything was normal as if Jinran had attended In any of the press conferences that he had imagined, the scene was thrown into chaos and all kinds of unexpected and terrible problems did not appear. He lowered his head and took a sip of water. At the same time, he heard Fang Yu was at his side announcing the official start of the press conference.

I really know that this press conference was broadcast live simultaneously on TV by some media who bought out the copyright at a high price—he didn’t know why something like a celebrity coming out of the closet could be broadcast during the morning news, but Because he knows the live broadcast, he has been very careful to control his emotions throughout the press conference.

Including when the reporters scrambled to ask questions about the latest gossip on the Internet, only to see the dark-haired young man who was silent from beginning to end except answering trivial questions smiled at the camera, and then spoke again, His voice was slightly hoarse and low——

"I came forward because of this incident. Because I am a public figure, I have to endure the abuse and editing of some people on the Internet. If we respond to this a little bit, it will become narrow-minded or not paying attention to the image. , In fact, sometimes I really want to tell everyone that celebrities are also human beings, and they also have joys, sorrows, and emotions, and they also have the privacy of life. Slander and abuse, but I don't accept that they will bring this disaster to the people around me, yes, I did spend a period of time with director Jiang Luocheng as lovers."

I sincerely paused here.

He felt that the people under the stage were silent for a few seconds, and then, countless flashing lights illuminated his face, flickering almost blindingly.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued—

"Later we broke up, but that oil painting—ah, it was Xu Qianqian's oil painting, it was indeed drawn from a photo, and the people in the oil painting were indeed director Jiang Luocheng and me," Jinran said Here, raising his hands and rubbing his eyes, he smiled helplessly, "When Director Jiang and I were in a romantic relationship, Ms. Xu Qianqian tried to intervene in us, and a certain drinking behavior with Jiang Luocheng also directly caused me to separate from Jiang. Later, Xu Qianqian used this photo as evidence to threaten Jiang Luocheng. It was indeed for me that Jiang Luocheng and Ms. Xu Qianqian were together as lovers. I am very grateful to Jiang Luocheng for being able to do this after breaking up. Luo Cheng."

Reporter A: "Then why did you—"

Reporter b: "So for Jiang Chuan——"

Reporter c: "Those rumors about Jiang Chuan and you on the Internet—"

"I thank Jiang Luocheng," Jin Ran looked at the reporter, his black pupils cast a sharp look, and then he replied unhurriedly, "But it doesn't mean that he did this, I owe him something."

Everyone: "..."

"No one asked him to do it, and I can only say thank you for doing it, but that's really it. It's not going to be a bargaining chip for us to get back together, and I don't feel like I can't because of these things. With other people—”

……

The top floor of the ck building.

Empty beer cans rolled from one end of the rooftop to the other.

On this side of the rooftop, a slender man's mobile phone screen simultaneously played the press conference under his feet at this moment. He lowered his head and first touched his chin with his hand because he hadn't Pay attention to the stubble that grew from grooming, and when the camera pointed at the black-haired young man sitting on the table and gave him a close-up, the man paused slightly, and almost subconsciously stretched out his hand to slightly increase the size of the phone He lowered his head and looked at the black-haired young man on the phone screen. At this moment, he was thin and looked exhausted in the center of the screen, but only those black pupils...

Ah, those eyes.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and almost couldn't restrain himself from scanning the pale face on the screen with his fingertips——

Until he saw a slight smile on that face—he paused his fingers slightly, stared at the dark-haired young man with a slight smile, changed his impression of panic and avoidance of this topic, and sat down There, calmly looking down at the reporters who looked up at themselves, watching their pens scribbling on the paper frantically, the rest of the people opened their mouths and looked at him stupidly, seemingly speechless ——

After a few seconds.

He smiled softly, and said in a voice that everyone present could hear: "I like the same sex, and I have tried to cover up this fact because of the domestic environment and my work relationship, but this incident cannot be the reason for my dissatisfaction. The reason for being with whom, no one can threaten me because of this, including myself."

"..."

Staring at the screen of the mobile phone in his hand, the man squeezed the empty soda can in his hand, and heard it make a "click" and "click". After a while, he threw it away, lit a cigarette, and sent it to his pale lips. While holding it in his mouth, he took a deep breath, then took it off his lips and threw it to his feet to extinguish it.

He realized that he really didn't want to continue to listen to even a little bit of news about this press conference... However, in his hands, the video was still playing, and a reporter sitting in the front row stood up and proposed Question: "Then Mr. Yuan, may I ask, do you have anything to say about the matter of hiding your sexual orientation to deceive public fans?"

"Cheating?" The black-haired young man slightly raised the corners of his lips, and he tilted his head to show a shallow smile, "Where did you say that?"

"...but you're gay—"

"So? As an actor, my job is to perform a drama well, and to bring the audience in front of the TV the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the image in the drama. You can inquire about all the collaborations I have been in the industry for so many years. Object, Yuan Jinran has even neglected his duties on this point once?"

"Then as a member of the public, you..."

"As a public officer, my responsibility is to present a positive image in the eyes of everyone. I like the same sex, but I did not have promiscuity, did not cheat marriage, and did not even cause anyone's loss because of it. This is My own business."

Jinran paused, then continued——

"It wasn't until the people around me, the people I loved, were exploited and attacked by someone with a heart because of my attempt to cover up. At this time, I realized that if I continued to try to hide, this became the only mistake I made—and Before that, I don't think I did anything wrong, I just liked people of my gender."
