Cen Nian crossed his arms and leaned against the stop sign to wait for the bus.

The man still sat in the original posture, and closed his eyes for a long while.The bus that Cen Nian was waiting for came only every 10 minutes. During this process, he couldn't help but glance over there again, wondering if that person died without saying a word.

Suddenly, a bearded man walked out of a shop behind.

The man had a fierce look on his face, and when he saw a leaking water pipe, he flew into a rage.He walked up and kicked the homeless man in the corner, cursing:

"Did you do it?! Damn, stinky beggar, did you break this water pipe?! I didn't do a good job in my business, you pay for it?! I can't kick you and me to death."

The man snorted.

The sound of kicking people is very loud, and it sounds very painful.But the young man didn't call for help from the beginning to the end, and didn't even defend himself.He only said "not me" at the beginning, and then remained silent.Although he couldn't see his facial features clearly, Cen Nian could feel that the shape of those eyes was very beautiful.

The young man's eyes were dark, like a piece of cold jade that lasted for nine days, and there was a slight mocking look in the coldness.

He was hurt by the beating, and he didn't call for help, but stood up and fought back without saying a word.It can be seen that this person has some fighting skills, but he hasn't eaten for a long time, and he fell behind after a few blows.The shopkeeper also found a few helpers to surround the man in a corner and beat him hard.

Cen Nian frowned.

Some people around quietly raised their mobile phones to take pictures, or left in fear of getting into trouble.

Cen Nian looked through the crowd and met the young man's eyes. The man's eyes were still mocking, indifferent, and even looked at him with a faint smile.

The young man was more than ten meters away from Cen Nian, his eyes seemed to say silently:

"Look, there's nothing you can do."

—You are no different from me.Everyone is humble and incompetent. Although you are standing and I am lying down, no one is more noble than the other.

I came here full of hope, I also shook my head obediently at someone, longing for a little love, but in the end I got a bad candy, a cold look, and even a severe beating.

Cen Nian clenched his fists.

The car that Cen Nian was waiting for arrived.He looked back, took out the change, and stepped into the car.

"Hey," the bus driver called him, "boy, are you going to get on the bus or not?"

"Go." Cen Nian hesitated, and threw the change in.

The car was about to start, and Cen Nian looked back again.

The group of people kicked the young man like a dog, but the man had stopped moving, and he didn't know whether he was dead or passed out.Those cold jade-like eyes were also closed.

The bus moved slowly.

"and many more!"

Cen Nian suddenly shouted.

The bus driver cursed, and watched helplessly as Cen Nian slipped through the slowly closing door.

The large and small bags of daily necessities that Cen Nian bought were all left on the car, and he trotted all the way to stop the group of people who were kicking people fiercely—during the process, he himself was kicked twice and his eyes were swollen.

Those people stopped panting, stared at him maliciously, narrowed their eyes and said:

"Meddling your own business?! I'll beat you up too!"

Shaking his head, Cen Nian took out his wallet with several eyes on him, and handed the wallet and the money inside to them:

"Is it enough to repair the water pipes?"

A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the owner and the thugs, their eyes widened, and they said blankly:

"Enough, enough."

Cen Nian slowly handed out the wallet, and several hands reached out to take it at the same time.

Suddenly, Cen Nian withdrew his hand and threw the entire wallet out.Cen Nian took baseball and softball as his physical education class last semester. Before going out, he went to the bank to withdraw money for emergencies. The wallet was heavy and flew across the road.

The shopkeeper and the thugs looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and ran across the road.

The corner was finally quiet.

Facing the moonlight, Cen Nian looked down at the man.And that person also raised his head and looked at him.

The man has one leg straight and one leg bent, with his elbow resting on the bent leg.The moonlight was very pale, and it shrouded the place coldly.

The mocking look in the man's eyes faded away, and he looked a little dazed.

He was confused.

He didn't know why he was beaten, why he was rescued, and he didn't know why - this seemingly young child dared to get so close to him?

Isn't he afraid of being 'infected' or 'haunted'?

The man's mind is not so clear, in these days, he has heard so many words.

"Stay away, in case the disease is contagious" and "Don't look at him, maybe he will entangle you" These two sentences appear most frequently.

Cen Nian didn't know where his courage came from.It was a lie to say that he was not afraid at all. Before he went out, he had just read a piece of news about a certain man who acted bravely and accidentally contracted AIDS.

He didn't know what disease this man had, maybe worse than AIDS.

But things have already been done, so we can’t just ignore them, right?What he just did in a fit of anger, now the blood has faded away, and the 17-year-old boy stood in the middle of the road in a daze, looking at the man covered in rashes.

Cen Nian hesitated for a while, pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand to the man:

"Do you... want to drink water?"

After saying this, Cen Nian thought for a while and said:

"I'll take you to a place where you can drink clean water. By the way, you need to bandage it, or the wound will become infected."

The man stared at him blankly for a while.

Then, he stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Cen Nian's hand.But when the matter came to an end, he suddenly flinched and curled up his fingertips.

——He saw his hands were dirty, muddy, and bleeding from many wounds.But the child's hands were so clean, like beautiful porcelain that had been put in a store and wiped.

Cen Nian couldn't help but grab his hand and help him up.

When he stood up, he realized that the man was quite tall, half a head taller than Cen Nian.

The moonlight fell softly at their feet.

The man took a step forward hesitantly, and was led by Cen Nian, walking forward slowly.He is like a wild dog who is used to being disgusted by others and rummages for food in the trash can every day. It is the first time that a clean dinner is handed to his mouth. He suspects that this is a dream, and he dare not even lick it a little.

It was such a night in July, on a summer night filled with car exhaust and flashing neon lights, Cen Nian, for the first time in his life, acted bravely and picked up a big fool to go home.

……

Memory comes back.

"Who did you go with?"

"An important person with me."

Fu Ran said in a low voice.

He looked at Cen Nian, the mid-air warm sun came in through the small window, and Fu Ran's eyes were stained with a smile.

Cen Nian was distracted and didn't hear how Fu Ran answered.

He thought of the few friends in his life, Wei Yan counted as one, and the second real friend should be that person.At the time of supporting teaching, there were five students from the same school. The other four were from the same department and they had known each other before. Although they took good care of Cen Nian, they were not friends after all.

And after taking the stupid big guy back to raise him, he really made friends.The stupid big man seems to have suffered a little intellectual damage, but he is very kind and treats Cen Nian very well.He would wait outside Cen Nian's classroom, send him back to the dormitory safely from the classroom, and save money to buy some small gifts for Cen Nian, or make some small things by himself.

Cen Nian took him to the city to see a doctor on weekends, and then played around for a while after seeing the doctor.It was then that Cen Nian went to an amusement park for the first time in his life.

After about half a month, Cen Nian obviously felt that the stupid big man's intelligence gradually recovered, his common sense returned, and his skin became somewhat normal.Because of the rash, the silly big man seemed to be very concerned about his face, so he asked the doctor to wear a mask.

Cen Nian has always been unable to see what he looks like, occasionally he feels familiar, but after a while he feels that it is his own illusion.However, one afternoon, the other party suddenly disappeared.

Cen Nian was very anxious for a while, but couldn't find it anywhere, so he had to give up in the end.

In the Ferris wheel, the problem of broadcasting continues.

After a few mild questions, the program team finally revealed its true colors.

Questions such as "how many lovers have you dated" and even "how many times a week do you vent on average" came up. Fortunately, Fu Ran responded quickly, and Cen Nian almost fell into the trap several times.

After coming out of the Ferris wheel, it met other stars.Cen Nian has to admit that this variety show is doing very well, and they are more attentive in all aspects.

The whole morning activities are over, and the interactive session including lunch is over, and everyone has a one-hour rest time.

Both Cen Nian and Fu Ran were sweating in their hearts.

They all know what the rest time means - one of the purposes of coming out this time is the original agreement, and the other is to clarify the matter thoroughly.This is what they have tacitly said.

In front of the carousel, there is a shade and benches.Cen Nian talked to Fang Lili, and walked towards the bench by himself.Fu Ran glanced at him, and followed after a few minutes.

Fu Ran approached.

The two looked at each other.The sun shines in early autumn.

Just as Fu Ran was about to sit down, Cen Nian took a deep breath and smiled: "Senior, can you buy me a cup of milk tea?"

His palms were covered with sweat.

The question he wants to ask has already been thought out, but he still needs courage.Fu Ran was startled, nodded, and walked to the milk tea shop tens of meters away.

Cen Nian turned on the phone and swiped anxiously across the screen.

Inexplicably, he clicked on the "talk" app.

Uncle FI is online.The system prompts that the other party has also just gone online.

Maybe it's lunch time, play on the phone?Cen Nian guessed.

"Uncle, I'm going to have a serious talk with him."

The other side replied quickly: "Come on [make a fist]."

Seeing that 'clenching fist' expression, Cen Nian was a little taken aback.His nervousness was also diluted a lot, and he typed:

"Actually, I've already figured out what to ask [doge]."

"Oh? Ask what?"

"There are two problems."

Cen Nian tossed and turned yesterday, barely slept all night, thinking about these two questions.

"Ok?"

"First, ask him whether he is A or B."

"Well. If he's A—if I remember correctly, A is the personality who hurt you?"

"If he's an A."

Cen Nian typed these words, his fingers paused, all kinds of emotions surged in his eyes, and finally he typed:

"Then there is no second question."

"Hmm." FI was not surprised by this answer at all, and asked:

"If B, what's the second question?"

"Yes," Cen Nian smiled, a bird landed on his shoulder, and rubbed his small head against his face, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Huh?" FI seemed a little surprised, "What if he's free?"

"Then go and register your marriage."

"..."

long silence.

Cen Nian touched his nose, trying to ease the atmosphere, and said:

"I personally think that there is a high probability that he is B. Actually, I have already thought about where to hold the wedding."

FI didn't speak.

After half a minute, FI slowly replied:

"Ah."

This "um" seemed a bit cold and perfunctory.FI, who was very enthusiastic just now, suddenly became impatient. FI said:

"I have something to do later."

Cen Nian didn't understand why he suddenly said this: "Work?"

"No," said FI, "is an impossible thing to do."

Cen Nian became more and more confused.

"Come on." He could only say dryly.

"You too."

After saying this, the two of them went offline.

Fu Ran was still waiting in line at the milk tea shop. The milk tea shop was a little far away, and Fu Ran was looking at his phone with his head down.

Cen Nian also swiped absently on his phone.

There is a new SMS alert.Cen Nian originally thought it was a harassing text message, but when he opened it, he found that it was——

"Did you know that Fu Ran took drugs with excessive radioactivity for a long time when he was a child?"

Cen Nian was taken aback.

He read that sentence carefully from head to toe, narrowed his eyes, and sent a text message:

"What do you mean?"

Many fragmentary pictures from the previous life emerged from the corner.

On the snowy day of his birthday, Fu Ran was in a private hospital; that time when he was a guest at Fu Ran's house, he saw the dead air in his body; also, Fu Ran, whose career was at its peak and whose acting skills were becoming more and more perfect, suddenly disappeared...

After a while, the unfamiliar number sent another text message:

"Under normal circumstances, he would not have lived past the age of 34."

34 is old.

In his previous life, Cen Nian died at the age of 28, while Fu Ran was just 34 at the time.

Cen Nian's fingers were a little stiff.

He never knew about this, and Fu Ran didn't tell him.

However, what is the purpose of this strange number telling him these untrue information?

Cen Nian was careful.

Last time on a cruise ship, he later asked about the cause and effect of the incident.He thought it was safe, but in the end he was careless. He didn't expect Yu Lin to tamper with the magnetic card.

"so what?"

Cen Nian leaned back, crossed his legs, his posture was very relaxed, and he answered text messages one after another.

The strange number couldn't figure out his attitude, and his tone became more and more cautious.

Fu Ran was still queuing in front of the milk tea shop.

The clerk was sweating profusely and said sorry to him, the so-and-so instrument in the store was broken and was being repaired.Fu Ran smiled gently and said it was okay.

He looked down at his phone, and then at Cen Nian.

At this glance, he froze.

A mobile phone stands alone on the bench.

——And Cen Nian, who was sitting there just now, disappeared.

The playground is built on the outskirts of City B.

Going out of the small gate is a pasture, and further down, there is a dilapidated theater.This theater should have been very prosperous in the past, with a high ceiling and a crack at the top of the stained glass window, allowing sunlight to shine through.

I didn't expect it to be here.

Cen Nian looked up at the colored window, a look of nostalgia and sadness flashed in his eyes.

His hands were tied with rope in a dark equipment room.Cen Nian looked around, but he didn't look flustered.

Wu Xue and the senior executive of Jiahui Entertainment chatted excitedly outside for a while, and then opened the door to come in.Cen Nian immediately closed his eyes, pretending to be in a coma.

Then, a handful of cold water was poured over his head.

Cen Nian frowned, shivered, and woke up leisurely.After all, he is an actor, and the expressions in his eyes from 'shock' to 'fear', and finally to 'shivering' are very vivid, Wu Xue and the other two did not notice anything unusual.

"Hey," Wu Xue looked at him condescendingly, "Do you want to live?"

Cen Nian's mouth was gagged, he tried to tremble, and nodded eagerly.

Wu Xue snorted coldly and dialed a number.

"Film Emperor Fu," Wu Xue said to the number, "Your kid is in my hands."

After finishing speaking, in order to verify the authenticity of her words, Wu Xue took out the cloth strip that was stuck in Cen Nian's mouth, kicked him twice, and said, "Cry twice, hurry up—don't reveal the location, or you will be killed." good-looking."

However, even if Cen Nian wanted to reveal the location, he probably didn't know what it was.

Wu Xue and the people around her looked at each other, and there was a hint of sarcasm in each of their eyes.

Cen Nian coughed and said hoarsely, "Senior."

On the other end of the phone, Fu Ran clenched his hands tightly.The director of the program team followed behind to apologize, and the whole amusement park was in chaos. Fu Ran stood in a stiff and tense posture, but his voice was extremely gentle:

"Cen Nian, tell me, don't be afraid."

Cen Nian said something in a low voice.

Fu Ran was taken aback.

After a while, he whispered, "Okay, I see."

The phone was snatched by Wu Xue and she hung up forcefully.

With a dark face, Wu Xue kicked Cen Nian and cursed:

"You kid playing tricks on me?! Cen Nian, you fucking—"

In the next second, her words stuck in her throat.

The senior executive of Jiahui Entertainment was knocked on the head by the leg of the stool and passed out.With a dagger pressed against Wu Xue's throat, Cen Nian's hand was not very steady - after all, he had never done such a thing before.

But he knows what he wants.

Wu Xue is timid, fearful, and has weak willpower.It was clearly a kidnapping, but it was full of loopholes.

Cen Nian thought for a while, put away the knife, picked up the rope on the ground and tied Wu Xue's hands.Cen Nian asked her:

"Sister, what do you know about Fu Ran?"

Wu Xue stared at him suspiciously, as if she couldn't believe that he would do this, and asked instead, "What did you just tell Fu Ran?"

Cen Nian's eyes darkened.

He paused and said in a low voice:

"I say……"

"I'm where the stars fall."
