After I was confessed, I was reborn [Entertainment]

1.

"Senior, who do you... take me for?"

When the street lights outside the window shone through the car window and shone into the car, it was already a little blurry.The light there lightly attached to the almost stagnant atmosphere, carrying a hint of ominous gloom.

The baffle was raised between the front seat and the rear seat, and Li Yang, who was driving, could not hear the movement behind him.

Because of the unexpected hug and kiss just now, Cen Nian fell on Fu Ran's lap, put his hands on Fu Ran's shoulders, and looked at him from top to bottom.

Fu Ran was silent.

"Ok?"

Cen Nian forced a smile.

Fu Ran still didn't answer.

Fu Ran raised his head slightly and looked at him steadily.

"Cen Nian."

Fu Ran looked at him, and almost murmured his name in a low voice.

There was still a mist of mist in his eyes, as if he was confused, and he didn't seem to understand what Cen Nian was saying.

They were still in a kissing posture, and they were very close, so close that Cen Nian could touch Fu Ran's lips again just by tilting his head slightly.

Cen Nian lowered his eyelids.

"Senior," Cen Nian paused, and asked softly, "You just regarded me as someone you like, right?"

At the moment when Fu Ran kissed him, many fireworks exploded in his brain.

But now the fireworks are cold, and the ashes are falling a little bit.

It's a little confusing.

Hearing this, Fu Ran frowned.He stared at Cen Nian silently, as if he didn't know why he asked.

Fu Ran paused and said:

"The person I like?" He paused and said, "Isn't it just..."

Having said this, Fu Ran suddenly stopped.

—No, I can’t say it yet.

This is the world ten years ago, Cen Nian had a lover.

Fu Ran's eyes cleared up.

He looked at Cen Nian and said in a low voice:

"No."

"You are you, I have never regarded you as anyone else."

Cen Nian was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Really?"

Cen Nian realized that something was wrong with his mentality.Maybe it was from the very beginning when I heard Gu Yan's "white moonlight" on the phone, maybe it was Fu Ran's soft expression when he mentioned the person he likes under the light.

Cen Nian thought, he should not say anything or ask anything at this time, and let all this become a not-so-good dream after being drunk.

But he can't.

"Cen Nian."

Fu Ran looked up at him slightly, as if he wanted to say something.His eyes were stained with a layer of warm street lights, making him look gentle and handsome.

But he paused, and finally just said:

"I'm very sorry."

for that kiss.

"……fine."

Cen Nian sat aside, closed his eyes, and smiled.He couldn't help recalling over and over again, the words that Fu Ran whispered softly when the kiss was over, with joy and surprise of the rest of his life, as if the most precious thing was lost and found again.

—he said, 'Well, you're still here. '

If Fu Ran didn't recognize him wrongly, what could be the reason?

Cen Nian's eyes darkened.

No one in the car spoke for a while.The light came in little by little, and Cen Nian closed his eyes, feeling extremely tired.

The two of them didn't say a word until they got out of the car.

They didn't walk side by side.Cen Nian walked a little behind, he followed Fu Ran step by step and entered the hotel.There are not many people in the hotel, let alone this time.

When getting on the elevator, Fu Ran didn't know where he turned. Cen Nian walked to the door by himself, looked at the door handle, but didn't want to push it away.

A deep lethargy slowly crept up from his spine.

He didn't know how he would treat Fu Ran.

He sniffed, feeling a great sense of bewilderment.

Fu Ran has someone he likes.

At this time in his previous life, there should have been some, but he never knew it.

Perhaps the first decision he made since his rebirth was wrong.

He shouldn't get close to Fu Ran without repentance.

The rebirth was to change the result of the past, but his rebirth was simply repeating the same mistakes.

A strong sense of powerlessness surged up, and Cen Nian looked at the doorknob, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, something warm touched his face lightly.

Cen Nian was taken aback.

A mug of hot cocoa hit him in the face.

Cen Nian looked at the person holding the paper cup.

The light in the corridor was not strong, and Fu Ran was facing the light behind him, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, only his overly gentle eyes could be seen.He looked down at Cen Nian and said gently:

"Shall we talk?"

The hotel has a rooftop.

In the sweltering summer, staying outside was a torture.But in the middle of the night, the temperature dropped, and the wind was blowing intermittently on the rooftop, which was actually quite comfortable.

City S is not developing fast, and there are no tall buildings around the hotel. Looking up from the rooftop, it is a bright starry sky.

The edge of the roof is a glass fence, below which are dotted with city lights, and there are two chairs next to it for guests to rest.

Cen Nian and Fu Ran sat down on the chairs.

Cen Nian held the hot cocoa, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, after going through such a violent mood swing just now, it feels like the rest of my life after such a sip.

"Put your hands on it."

Fu Ran took off his suit jacket and handed it to Cen Nian.Cen Nian's plaster cast on his left hand has been removed and replaced with a bandage, but it still hurts a bit when it hangs down.

Cen nodded.

Fu Ran held a can of coffee in his hand—he was not picky now, and he also drank instant coffee.Fu Ran thought for a while and said:

"Cen Nian, there are many things that are not what you see."

Cen Nian's fingers were warmed by the hot cocoa, and they had already warmed up a little.He looked up at the starry sky and asked:

"is it?"

"Have you seen Popeye? When I was young," Fu Ran also raised his head and smiled, "I used to think that as long as people eat spinach, they can really become infinitely powerful."

Why did Fu Ran say this suddenly?

Cen Nian couldn't help but laugh, he asked: "And then?"

"I liked to eat spinach when I was in elementary school," Fu Ran smiled helplessly, "but I have never been able to become infinitely powerful."

He looked down at his wrist and said softly:

"We are all deluded by what we see, hear, and feel, but in fact, sometimes, what you see is only a small corner."

"Yeah." Cen Nian listened carefully and nodded.

He didn't know what Fu Ran meant by saying this.

Moreover, Fu Ran's metaphor is not so clever, and Cen Nian even wants to laugh.

But Cen Nian still had another question on his mind.When he looked at Fu Ran, he wanted to know the answer more and more urgently.

Finally, he compromised with himself.

"Senior." Cen Nian hesitated and said, "May I ask a question?"

"Ok?"

"Do you have someone you like?" Cen Nian asked seriously.

The answer to this question is very important to him.He couldn't even think of how to lay the groundwork, so he could only go straight in like this.

Fu Ran was silent.

The starlight was very soft, dotted quietly on the ground of the rooftop, Cen Nian looked at Fu Ran, feeling a little nervous.

After a while, Fu Ran sat up straight, looked directly at Cen Nian, and said:

"Have."

He was very serious, without a hint of joking.

And Fu Ran has never joked about relationship issues.

Cen Nian's expression went blank for a moment.

After a while, he lowered his head, smiled, and said, "Okay, I see, thank you before——"

"Cen Nian."

Fu Ran interrupted him, "When I kissed you just now, I was thinking about you, and I was thinking about you."

he said frankly.

Cen Nian was taken aback.

He looked at Fu Ran a little bit tongue-tied, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He thought for a while and asked:

"Senior, don't you have someone you like?"

Fu Ran looked directly at Cen Nian gently, and pointedly said: "Yes, this does not violate my view of emotions. That kiss offended you, I am sorry."

Cen Nian opened his eyes.

Doesn't violate his emotional outlook?

But Fu Ran is not that kind of person.Not only is Fu Ran not promiscuous, he even has a little emotional cleanliness.As far as he was concerned, he had known Fu Ran for so many years, so he couldn't be mistaken.

Cen Nian was at a loss.

Fu Ran stared at Cen Nian steadily, as if he was exploring something.

After a while, seeing Cen Nian's puzzled expression, Fu Ran seemed a little discouraged.He patted Cen Nian's head, smiled and said helplessly in a low voice:

"You'll understand later."

It's almost like coaxing a child.

"..."

The two of them didn't discuss any more about this issue.Cen Nian wanted to ask further questions, but felt that it was inappropriate.And compared to this, he has more things to know.

Cen Nian thought for a while and asked softly:

"Senior, what kind of person do you like?"

"he is a--"

Fu Ran thought about it for a while, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "He looks very obedient, but he is actually quite rebellious."

Cen Nian let out an 'oh'.

When talking about the person he likes, Fu Ran's expression is unbelievably soft, as if he has changed himself.

Cen Nian felt a little uncomfortable, and sour-smelling bubbles kept coming out.He said:

"She's rebellious?"

A little girl with pierced ears and smoky makeup appeared in Cen Nian's mind.

Oh, see, non-mainstream.

"Ah."

Fu Ran looked at Cen Nian meaningfully, and said with a smile:

"He was quite obedient in front of me, and he showed his true colors when he turned around. But——he seemed to think he was pretending well."

Cen Nian raised his eyebrows.

A little girl in school uniform and glasses during the day, drinking and clubbing at night with smoky makeup appeared in his mind.

Oh, duplicity.

"He's afraid of the dark." Fu Ran said.

Cen Nian nodded.

timid.

"His stomach is not very good, drinking milk will make him uncomfortable." Fu Ran said again.

Cen Nian sneered.

squeamish.

Fu Ran's eyes fell gently on Cen Nian, like the stars in the sky spanning thousands of miles, falling here softly.He stopped talking and just looked at Cen Nian quietly.

"Huh?" Cen Nian took a sip of hot cocoa, and when he raised his head, he realized that Fu Ran stopped talking, "Senior?"

"He's so good, so good that you have to like him."

Fu Ran closed his eyes, smiled, and whispered, "But he doesn't belong to me."

"..."

Cen Nian was taken aback.

He changed his mind, yes.If Fu Ran has achieved a positive result with the person he likes early, there will be no many things later.

Pantothenic acid was bubbling in his heart, but he couldn't tell anyone yet.

Facing Fu Ran like this, he couldn't get angry.

"Doesn't belong to the seniors?"

Cen Nian asked in a low voice.

He is a little tired.In other words, he resisted from the bottom of his heart to listen to Fu Ran mentioning a person in this tone.

The feeling of fatigue surged from the fingertips touching the hot cocoa, and spread to all limbs.

"Ah."

After saying this, Fu Ran was silent for a while.

He looks at his wrist.

There were a couple of very pale pinkish circular hole scars on it.Because it has passed for a long time, the color has faded and can't be seen.

But they are always there.

"Before, I missed him for many years," Fu Ran said in a low voice, "and almost missed him forever."

"I do not want--"

Suddenly, Cen Nian's body was crooked, and he leaned against Fu Ran's arms.

Fu Ran was taken aback.He looked at Cen Nian, and was dumbfounded to find that Cen Nian was still sitting and fell asleep.

...is really sleeping.

When Cen Nian fell asleep, he always looked very unhappy.He couldn't smile when he fell asleep, and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he often felt insecure, and he seemed to have bitter hatred for everything, and he could be stubborn.

This is different from what Cen Nian usually shows.Because of this, every time Cen Nian pretended to be asleep, he could find out.

But Fu Ran felt that she was very cute when she was asleep, extremely cute.

It makes people think...

Fu Ran hugged Cen Nian horizontally, paying special attention not to press Cen Nian's injured hand.

unexpected.After being fully embraced by Fu Ran, Cen Nian's brows relaxed, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips fell flat, as if ending a nightmare and entering a very sweet dream.

He unconsciously rubbed against Fu Ran's arms.

Fu Ran smiled, and kissed Cen Nian lightly on the forehead.

He whispered:

"Cen Nian, good night, sweet dreams."

"and also……"

"That person is you."

This sentence was not heard by anyone, it quietly scattered in the air of the August rooftop.

The night wind caressed gently, like a sweet song, it circled around the two of them, and then blew further away.

2.

City B.

Jiang Xu took off his protective glasses, took off his white coat, and walked out of the laboratory.

A person followed step by step, rubbed his hands, and asked, "Dr. Jiang, how are you?"

Jiang Xu shook his head: "No."

The man's face darkened.

"Manager Zhang, the radioactivity has seriously exceeded the standard," Jiang Xu wiped his hands with a tissue, and said expressionlessly, "It is impossible for this drug to be marketed."

"Dr. Jiang," Manager Zhang quietly pushed a card to Jiang Xu, and said, "Well, tell me, we can transfer [-]% of the shares to you, okay?"

One percent of the shares is indeed a very attractive condition.

After all, this company still has some foundation and a large scale. Nearly half of the new anti-cancer drugs in China come from this pharmaceutical factory.

Jiang Xu glanced at him and took the card.

A gleam of ecstasy flashed in Manager Zhang's eyes:

"Dr. Jiang, those who know the current affairs are outstanding, then we will have a happy cooperation in the future—"

Before he could say the word 'quick', Jiang Xu held the card lightly, and the card broke in two from the middle.

"..."

Manager Zhang's face was livid.

"Jiang Xu, don't be shameless." Manager Zhang whispered.

Jiang Xu smiled.

"Is it going to be listed? Yes."

"Either change the raw material, reduce the radioactivity, other than that..."

"We can provide sample individuals who have no abnormal reaction within 20 years after injection of drugs." Manager Wang said anxiously.

A trace of contempt flashed in Jiang Xu's eyes:

"Sample individual?"

He was about to say something when the phone on the table rang.

Jiang Xu was startled when he heard the ringtone, made a 'pause' gesture, and picked up the phone.

Cen Nian had a dream.

It was quite warm at first, like sitting by the fireplace in winter, the warmth surrounded him, it was very comfortable.

But from a certain point in time, that source of heat goes away.

He wanted to yell, but he couldn't yell in his dream.I had to give up.

The temperature in the dream gradually dropped.

In his dream, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the guests coming and going around him, and countless strange faces were toasting him and smiling lightly, wishing him a happy birthday.

——The content of this dream was his 26th birthday.

Cen Nian was taken aback.

His birthday is in winter.

His biological mother died of dystocia in such a winter - of course, this is what others said, but no one actually knows how.Ever since he was sensible, the Cen family and his wife had been his parents in name, although, apart from money, they had not fulfilled any obligation to support him.

Cen Nian was brought up by Aunt Li. When he was a teenager, he could feel that the Cen family's attitude towards him was already very perfunctory.

So much so that when he returned home, the Cen's couple and Cen Yue all regarded him as a transparent person, and even the housekeeper would not call him 'Master'.

Just treat him as a dog of the Cen family.

In his previous life, Cen Nian hadn't seen it, and he would still be sad when he was treated like this by what he thought of as a 'family', and even occasionally hid under the covers and cried.

The turning point of the matter happened during his winter vacation in the first year of high school.

That day, he made an appointment with Wei Yan to go out online, but he overslept, and Wei Yan was impatient, so he came directly to Cen's house to look for him.

He still remembers Madam Cen's surprise expression when she saw Wei Yan.

She patted Cen Nian, and it was the first time in a whole year that she was so warm to Cen Nian.she says:

"Oh, Wei Yan? My family, Cen Nian, is naughty and ignorant. Thanks to you taking care of him, he saved me and his father a lot of trouble."

It seemed that she really took care of Cen Nian with all her heart.

Since then, the Cen family's attitude towards Cen Nian has made another 180-degree turn.

Needless to say, I would send money to him. In addition, every birthday of Cen Nian would be specially organized to entertain guests—of course, the most important thing is to entertain the Wei family members.

In short, Cen Nian's 26th birthday was a feast for the whole world as usual.

At that time, he had already debuted for several years and had several works, so he was considered an eighteenth-line artist.Therefore, on his birthday, there were still some paparazzi hanging out.

He sent an invitation to Fu Ran one month in advance, went to him half a month in advance, and asked him for a gift with the cheek.

...But, on his birthday, Fu Ran didn't come.

Cen Nian stood at the door to greet the guests, his face froze with a smile, and he looked towards the elevator from time to time, afraid of missing something.But until the end, the figure he expected never appeared.

There were no gifts, no congratulations, and Fu Ran didn't even show up.

Cen Nian looked at his phone countless times, wechat, text messages, missed calls... none of them.

Fu Ran was absent without saying a word.

Until the end of the birthday party, Cen Nian rejected Wei Yan's invitation and left alone.He walked forward slowly on the snow, feeling that his heart was also cold and panicked.

...he didn't know why.Fu Ran obviously agreed to him, and Fu Ran was never a person who did not keep his word.

And the picture of Cen Nian walking alone on the snow was photographed by the good paparazzi, and it was written as a press release of "A certain [-]th-tier star failed to court the actor, and was heartbroken in the snow" and sent it out.

Of course, Cen Nian didn't know about it at this time.Even if he knew it, he would probably laugh it off.In the past few years, it is not uncommon for him to arrange news at will.

Holding the phone in his hand, he hesitated again and again, wanting to try it one last time.At this time, artificial intelligence has basically become popular, and Cen Nian installed one, but he hasn't thrown away the phone yet, and he has no plans to throw it away in a short time.

He dialed Fu Ran's number.

——Unexpectedly, the bell rang for two seconds before being picked up.

"Hey."

Fu Ran's voice was very low, revealing exhaustion, he seemed very tired.

On a snowy day, Cen Nian shivered from the cold.He walked under the street lamp, pursed his lips, and said, "Senior."

"..." Fu Ran's voice was cold, "I'm sorry, are you?"

Cen Nian's heart went cold.

Disappointment and bewilderment crept up his back, he stared blankly at the ice and snow under his feet, unable to utter a word.

Fu Ran paused.

He seemed to cut out and look at the call display, and finally knew who he was.

"Cen Nian," Fu Ran called his name and asked:

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"

Cen Nian didn't answer.

Fu Ran was silent for a while, then asked again: "Are you outside?"

Cen Nian didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

He forced a smile and said, "I don't know if Senior still remembers, but today is my birthday."

"Happy birthday."

Fu Ran answered quickly.

... also very perfunctory.

Cen Nian couldn't figure out what he was feeling in his heart, maybe it was sad, maybe it was too much disappointment, but it didn't hurt anymore.

"Sorry for disturbing senior," Cen Nian sniffed, and whispered, "Then, if there's nothing else, I'll—"

He was about to hang up.

Fu Ran said:

"I remember."

His voice was still cold and a little stiff, as if he was chanting something.He said, "I... prepared a birthday present for you."

"Really?" Cen Nian lowered his eyelids and smiled, "Thank you senior, I am very happy."

He paused, wanted to say goodbye to Fu Ran, and then hung up the phone.

But Fu Ran interrupted him again.

Fu Ran's voice was very low, but his tone was very serious.He said:

"I want to give it to you today. Is it convenient?"

Cen Nian glanced at his watch, it was ten o'clock in the evening.

He thought for a while and said, "Of course it's convenient."

"Where is senior? I'll go find you."

There was the sound of flipping paper from Fu Ran's side, and after a while, he gave an address.

Cen Nian was taken aback.That place is not far from here, but...the place is a bit remote, there are no buildings around, and it is quite a distance from where Fu Ran lives.

... What is Fu Ran doing over there?

If he remembered correctly, the only relatively large building over there was a private hospital.

Could it be that Fu Ran is sick?

Thinking of this possibility, Cen Nian instantly put all the disappointment of the night behind him.He became a little anxious.

Cen Nian called a taxi and drove over there.

When he arrived, Fu Ran seemed to have been waiting for a while.

Fu Ran was still dressed as usual, he was wearing a coat and a scarf, his complexion was slightly pale, maybe it was cold.He looked at Cen Nian, as if he suddenly didn't know Cen Nian, he frowned.

"Senior..." Cen Nian felt a little uncomfortable.

It's been eight years.

Even a block of ice should melt.But he felt that compared with Fu Ran eight years ago, Fu Ran's attitude towards him hadn't changed much.

Fu Ran handed a small box to Cen Nian.

"Happy birthday," he said.

"Thank you."

Cen Nian took the box.

He didn't know if Fu Ran wanted him to take it apart on the spot, hesitated for a while, but finally didn't take it apart.

It can be felt from the weight, this is not what he expected, a white rose made of paper.

Neither of them spoke any more.

The white gas exhaled between breaths is hazy under the light.

Cen Nian wanted to ask Fu Ran if he was sick, but facing Fu Ran like this, he couldn't ask a word.

Fu Ran was silent for a moment, and said, "The assistant picked the gift."

Cen Nian was startled.

He suddenly felt ridiculous.On the snowy night of my birthday, I traveled thousands of miles across most of the city to receive such a gift.

And the person who gave the gift didn't take him seriously at all.

After a long while, Cen Nian forced a smile: "Okay, I'll trouble Senior."

Fu Ran shook his head.

Cen Nian waited for a while to confirm that Fu Ran had nothing to say.

Cen Nian dryly said goodbye to Fu Ran, and Fu Ran nodded.

Then, Cen Nian stepped on the snow and left with one deep step and one shallow step.

He was full of disappointment and sadness, and didn't look back.

Therefore, he will never know that behind him, Fu Ran is watching his back steadily.

After a while, the tall figure standing in the snow swayed, and then——

slammed to the ground.

A dream is over.

Cen Nian opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, a little dazed.

It was early morning, the hotel was close to the sea, the sea breeze and the early morning light quietly fell on the window sill, and the white window screens floated gently.

He couldn't remember the specific content of the dream, but he remembered the feeling of trekking step by step in the snow.

That didn't feel good.

He recalled Fu Ran's expression when he mentioned someone yesterday.

Cen Nian stretched out his hand and looked at his five fingers.

"I probably did it wrong from the start."

Cen Nian murmured.

The meaning of rebirth is not to let him get close to Fu Ran again, to live in a way he doesn't like again.He thought that he could control it well, he thought that he could no longer be trapped like last time, he thought that he could stand on the sidelines and grasp everything.

But it turned out it couldn't.

Since it is impossible for Fu Ran to like him, why should he make himself so embarrassing again.

Fortunately, it is still too late to stop the loss in time.
