The beauty of rebirth

After Lin Rui pushed the door and went out, Zhong Yuan stared in that direction for a while, then turned his head and asked Fed: "Is he always like this?"

Fed naturally knew what Zhong Yuan was referring to, shrugged and said, "Yeah. It's very boring. It's not surprising that you don't talk for a day." However, although he kept getting close to Zhong Yuan just now, he looked like he was in full swing. , In fact, there are also secretly paying attention to Lin Rui.He vaguely felt that although Lin Rui usually didn't talk much, he seemed to be particularly abnormal today.

"Fortunately, there is such a slick manager like you." Zhong Yuan smiled lightly, lowered his head and picked a few pieces of ice into his cup.

"If," Fed heard this, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly approached Zhong Yuan with a smile, and said word by word, "It would be better to have a second-to-none photographer, right?"

"That's right." Zhong Yuan paused while shaking the wine glass, looked down at the crystal-clear ice cubes inside, and raised the corner of his mouth indistinctly, "...it will indeed be better."

--------

At the same time, Lin Rui was walking quickly down the aisle, clutching the collar of the windbreaker tightly with one hand.

After turning a few turns, I finally reached the toilet.He opened the door and walked in, but there was no one there.

After closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly fell down uncontrollably. Fortunately, he grabbed the doorknob to barely stand still, but his whole body had already started to tremble.His hands and feet were icy cold, he barely helped himself to the washstand, raised his head, only to realize that he was already drenched in sweat.

Gritting his teeth, he groped his way to a cubicle, locked the door, unbuttoned his shirt indiscriminately, slumped on the toilet, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.I felt that my hands and feet were cold and almost numb, as if all my strength had been drained by the forbearance just now.

The cold and shivering continued to spread and rise on his body, and he couldn't wait any longer.Lin Rui took another deep breath, reached into the interlayer pocket with his trembling hands, and took out the small plastic bag he carried with him.

He opened it hastily and indiscriminately, shaking out a few white powders.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally calmed down.Throw the plastic packet and straw down the toilet, along with the rest of the powder.His fingertips were still a little weak, he lightly pressed the flush button, and watched them whirl with the vortex, and were soon completely swallowed up.

Opening the door of the cubicle, I bumped into a person pushing the door and approaching the toilet.The man glanced at him, then hurriedly turned and entered the next compartment without any doubts.

Lin Rui exhaled slowly, put his hands on the washstand, and looked at himself in the mirror.

The person in the mirror was pale, his eyes were dull, and he was still breathing heavily.He wiped the sweat off his forehead casually, trimmed his hair and neckline, calmed down his breathing a little, pulled himself together and acted normally, opened the door and walked out.

Lin Rui didn't know how he became infected with this kind of thing, but he knew that this drug addiction had always been with this body, in other words, it belonged to Lin Rui, not Yao Qi.When he found out about it, he didn't tell anyone, including Fed.At first I tried to quit a few times, but I finally failed to overcome the overwhelming pain and the despair that I even hoped to escape by death.So, he found out the name of the drug based on the symptoms, and secretly found the seller.He no longer cared about the repeated short-term pain, but instead was greedy for all kinds of illusions and hallucinations brought about by the medicine, so as to obtain temporary but never-before-seen relief.

Because I was doomed not to escape from this body, I was also doomed not to be able to get out of the shadow of two years ago, as well as the old images of him and him that overlapped before.As long as he is still Lin Rui, as long as he can still see the face in the mirror that he was willing to give everything for, he will never be able to get out.

Even sometimes it is obvious that the body is weakening bit by bit.Sleepiness and exhaustion, silence and confusion, and even morbidity that is considered beautiful in the eyes of the public are actually signs of perceptible loss of life.They are eating away at him more and more clearly, but he is unwilling to change anything.Maybe I know that I have always been submissive like this, so I chose this way of muddling along, which is a kind of paranoia at any rate.

Suddenly he could only laugh at himself.

--------

When he returned to the private room, only Zhong Yuan was left in it.

"Fed called." Before Lin Rui could ask, he spoke first, and handed over a glass of GIN with a smile while speaking.

"Oh." Lin Rui sat down next to him, took out the wine glass, raised his head and drank it down, and then put the empty glass on the coffee table.His hands were still shaking a little, and there were a few small and irregular sounds when the bottom of the cup touched the coffee table, but fortunately it was not obvious.

"You have a good capacity for alcohol, did you exercise with Fed's wine jar?" Zhong Yuan was slightly taken aback, and joked.Averting his eyes from Lin Rui's fingertips, he picked up the wine bottle and poured him another half glass of wine slowly.I also raised my head and had a drink with him.

Lin Rui thanked him hastily, picked up the wine glass, paused, and asked casually, "Is he good at drinking?" In his impression, Fed frequently blocked drinks for him in public, but he didn't seem to care much about his specific drinking capacity.

Zhong Yuan smiled gracefully and said, "Professed to be 'a thousand cups will not get drunk'."

Lin Rui laughed, this lame title is not surprising to Fed's virtue.Thinking about it, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass again.

Zhong Yuan fixed his gaze on Lin Rui's face calmly, at this moment the latter's pale face was slightly flushed because of two glasses of wine.As his eyes moved down slowly, he soon saw Lin Rui's slightly open neckline.His fair skin was faintly revealed. If Fed saw him, he might be thinking about it again. If he happened to drink a little wine, he might even go up to him for a few rubs.

But for Zhong Yuan, his attention was completely attracted by the wrinkled collar.As a person who is extremely particular about clothing and even has a little cleanliness, this is absolutely intolerable.

"Lin Rui, the neckline is messed up." Still maintaining a Mona Lisa smile, Zhong Yuan slowly shifted his gaze from the collar to his face.

Lin Rui looked down, and found that there was indeed a corner bent inward, probably because he grabbed the neckline too hard just now.He stretched out his hand, but the bend still stubbornly refused to return.He turned it over hard again, but he was still unmoved.However, Lin Rui is not Zhong Yuan, so he won't be so particular about these details. He tried it a few times and ended in failure, so he didn't bother to continue.That's it, it's not obvious.

However, when he raised his head, he almost bumped into another head.

Zhong Yuan didn't know when he was standing in front of Lin Rui.He knelt on the sofa with one knee, and reached out to hold Lin Rui's collar.Lin Rui was startled, and let go of his hand that was still on the neckline the moment he touched his fingertips.

Under the backlight, Zhong Yuan's face was serious and calm, under the somewhat reflective glasses, a pair of deep eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Rui's neck.The slender fingers started from the back of the neck, stroked gently to the front, and finally landed on the curly collar corner, turning it over with a little force in the opposite direction of the curl.

Lin Rui was a little embarrassed at first, but then he just leaned back, and his expression returned to his usual indifferent look, but he didn't know where to put his eyes.

But Zhong Yuan obviously didn't notice, after he solved the collar problem wholeheartedly, he straightened up and looked at his result with satisfaction.When he raised his head, he happened to meet Lin Rui's gaze looking at him.

The dark pupils were too empty to see any emotion, but Zhong Yuan felt that he had seen too much from it, or recalled too much.However, no matter what he can see or not, and what he can't remember, all are hidden in those eyes at that moment, which has an inexplicable attraction to him.Faced with each other at such a close distance, he clearly realized that it was obviously Lin Rui, and he was still Lin Rui, but because of these eyes, he suddenly became strange.

At that moment, he almost thought it was another person in front of him.But he is indeed Lin Rui, the person he finally found after searching for two years.However, at this moment, even though he has completely changed his style, it still cannot change the fact that he is Lin Rui.Thinking of this, Zhong Yuan couldn't help staring into Lin Rui's eyes slightly absent-mindedly.He suddenly leaned forward and slightly restrained the person in front of him with his arms, stretched out his hand to gently caress his face.The smile on his face was still elegant and gentle, and his eyes fixed on Lin Rui's deep eyes, suddenly showing affection that the latter hadn't expected.

"Lin Rui..." murmured as if talking to himself, "Do you... still remember me?"

Lin Rui looked up at him slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.Zhong Yuan's sudden words really surprised him, but when he calmed down, what flashed in the eyes of the man in front of him was a true and sincere look.For a moment, he thought of Lin Rui, the Lin Rui he loved so much, he once had the same affection.It's just that everything no longer exists. Even if I am in this body, what I can leave for others is only a pair of empty eyes, so calm that there is no wave of affection or unfeeling.

Could it be that the person in front of him loves Lin Rui as much as he does?

Thinking of this suddenly, he unconsciously smiled, feeling some mockery in the smile.However, Zhong Yuan wouldn't know his self-mockery, he looked at Lin Rui puzzled, and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a howl like a pig being killed.

Turning over and getting off the sofa, he saw Fed standing at the door holding his mobile phone, his jaw was about to dislocate.

"You, you... what are you doing?" Fed was obviously terrified by the scene he suddenly saw: his own Ruirui was pinned down on the sofa by Zhong Yuan, and he didn't seem to resist... This is simply... ...Ah, bah, bah, bah, what is this.

"Hmm...cough," Zhong Yuan gently pushed his glasses, sat down next to him, and quickly tried to act nonchalantly, "Lin Rui's collar was messed up just now, I helped him fix it."

Fed shifted his eyes suspiciously to Lin Rui's face. The latter flicked his bangs casually, flashed his collar at him, and said flatly, "It's ready."

Although he still found it quite suspicious, Fed quickly adjusted his public relations smile and sat between the two of them.Turning to Zhong Yuan with a smile on his face, he said: "I forgot, Brother Zhong cares about this most, I misunderstood it." Then he turned to Lin Rui, and looked at his collar specifically, "Mmm, it's really good , please trouble Brother Zhong."

The smile was so bright that the remaining two didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, by the way, Lin Rui." Although Fed didn't know what the two of them were thinking, when he saw the silence, he immediately instinctively used his talents to bring up some topics, "Brother Zhong just agreed to be your friend." Exclusive photographer." As he said, he stretched out his hand to wrap around Lin Rui's shoulders, and turned to look at Zhong Yuan, "With Brother Zhong's help in the future, I won't worry about my success. Haha."

Zhong Yuan pushed his glasses, his gaze swept over Lin Rui intentionally or unintentionally, but just happened to meet the latter's gaze that immediately flicked away.

Withdrew his eyes and smiled faintly, took a shallow sip of wine, and did not speak.
