The actor decided to let go of himself

Although there are not many people in country e, the place where Li Guning and Duan Zhishu live is very close to the university of country e. Looking at the whole country, it can be regarded as a densely populated area.

While they were kissing, someone walked up nearby.

Although they didn't know them, when they saw the two, the passers-by started booing from a long distance away.

The voice crossed the road to his ears, and Duan Jixian, who was stunned by the bold actions of Li Guning and Duan Zhishu just now, finally realized it.

As a well-known dude from a family in country a, Duan Jixian usually brings a bunch of people with him wherever he goes.Although he doesn't work, but he doesn't know whether he is worried about being kidnapped or something. Duan Jixian is surrounded by everyone from assistant to security guard every day.

Only today, because he came to see Duan Zhishu's "shameful" son, Duan Jixian didn't bring his "entourage".

And now seeing Li Guning and Duan Zhishu doing such a thing in the street, he was going to die of rage!

"Duan Zhishu!" Duan Jixian lowered his voice and said, "I'll give you face, but you don't want to give face."

In fact, ever since Duan Zhishu kissed him just now, Li Guning's mind was almost blank, and he almost forgot to breathe.

At the same time as Duan Jixian's voice came, a sense of suffocation also hit Li Guning.He couldn't help but patted Duan Zhishu's back lightly, and seeing this, Duan Zhishu let go of Li Guning with some reluctance.

And just a second after the deep kiss ended, the reluctant Duan Zhishu suddenly regretted again, approached again, and pecked on Li Guning's lips.

Li Guning's breathing rhythm has not been adjusted yet, he couldn't help but put his chin lightly on Duan Zhishu's shoulder, panting weakly.

At this time, the breathing rhythm of the two of them, as well as the rhythm of their heartbeats, were all messed up.

Xue didn't know when it got bigger again, Duan Zhishu subconsciously hugged the person in his arms tightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly let go of Li Guning, and whispered in his ear: "Guning, let's go, we should go up time for dinner."

"En." Li Guning subconsciously rubbed Duan Zhishu's clothes lightly, and then raised his head again.

At this moment, Duan Jixian glared at him suddenly.Then he sneered and said, "No shame." After finishing speaking, he cursed a few more dirty words that Li Guning had never heard before.

Although Duan Jixian had already said "shame your face" just now, Duan Zhishu finally got angry when he heard Duan Jixian say this to Li Guning.

He suddenly let go of Li Guning, stepped forward and grabbed Duan Jixian by the collar.

"Keep your mouth clean," Duan Zhishu approached with a sneer, "I'm just saving face for you, not afraid of you."

"Zhishu!" Li Guning had never seen Duan Zhishu so angry before, seeing Duan Zhishu tugging on Duan Jixian's collar, he couldn't help being startled, and hurried over.

At that time, Duan Zhishu was not the later President Duan of Mustard Seed Technology. He stayed in the laboratory all year round, and he had a refined and cool air about him.Although Duan Zhishu is usually not as active as his peers, he has never been as frightening as he is now.

At this moment, Li Guning felt from Duan Zhishu's body a sense of oppression that can only come from being in a superior position for a long time.

Obviously at this time, he is just a student who has not yet graduated.

Not only Li Guning, but Duan Jixian who was standing opposite Duan Zhishu also felt it.

He tried his best to retreat, but he couldn't get rid of Duan Zhishu.

Li Guning hurried to pull Duan Zhishu's arm, then gritted his teeth and said to him: "Don't compete with someone like Duan Jixian, he has been a moth all his life, what's the point of caring about a moth mean?"

As a law-abiding young man who respects the old and loves the young, Li Guning has always been very polite to his elders, but today he described Duan Jixian as a moth.

And when someone said that about his father, Duan Zhishu not only didn't get angry, but even smiled at Duan Ji first and said: "It's not just a moth, but a self-righteous moth."

After finishing speaking, Duan Zhishu finally released him under Duan Jixian's horrified gaze.

"Gu Ning, let's go." Duan Zhishu said.

……

Duan Zhishu has never concealed his family background from Li Guning, but at that time Li Guning felt that dancing, studies and Duan Zhishu were enough for his life, and he had no interest in this kind of rich family secrets.

He only vaguely heard after a long time that, as a traditional family of country a, the Duan family also maintained some disgusting customs.

For example, even though Duan Zhishu's father, Duan Jixian, was the most famous waste in the Duan family, because he was the only male in this generation, he was still valued by Duan Zhishu's grandparents who were in power at the time.

Even Duan Jixian, who has never been to Tiantian Company, still has a lot of shares and a high voice in the Duan family.

Duan Jixian is a person who must report his flaws.

After the events of that day were over, Li Guning didn't know what Duan Jixian did after he went back.

And in the end, it was many years later that he heard in detail from Mr. Yi Shangmu that Duan Jixian's revenge on Duan Zhishu had never stopped.Until Duan Zhishu's mustard seed technology develops and grows, it becomes an existence that Duan Jixian cannot threaten.

But before that, Duan Jixian could be said to have tripped up Duan Zhishu everywhere, completely treating Duan Zhishu as his greatest enemy in this life.

For example, when Duan Zhishu first founded Mustard Seed Technology, Duan Jixian had already "fired" him from Duan's family, so he naturally had no way to get a penny from his family.

Even more than that, Duan Jixian contacted many banks in the name of Duan's family and prevented them from taking loans from Duan Zhishu many times.And in the follow-up, it also interfered and prevented other companies from investing in Mustard Technology.

This kind of behavior almost completely cut off all the outlets for Duan Zhishu.If it's an ordinary person, it's the end of the rope at this point.Not to mention starting a business and running your own company, after hitting the wall many times, I am afraid that even living a good life is not easy.

However, Duan Zhishu is not an ordinary person.

When he started his business, his start-up capital was only the money he earned from selling programs before.And just because of the money spent by Duan Jixian, Duan Zhishu really gritted his teeth and carried it.

Thinking of this, Li Guning, who was lying on the bed ready to rest, suddenly let out a long sigh.

As the chief of the National Grand Theater of E, he is now a world superstar.Li Guning has always been surrounded by people who pursued him, but over the years, only Duan Zhishu—one person has touched his heart.

Li Guning is a very strong person, he can walk from city k to the grand theater of country e with an idea of ​​wanting to change.And the person Li Guning likes naturally cannot be weak.

After living for more than 20 years, only Duan Zhishu, a peer of his age, is so powerful that Li Guning is convinced.Li Guning likes such people and appreciates such people.

At this time, besides his mobile phone, there was a photo on the bed.

The person in the photo is Li Guning's younger brother Li Gu'an.

Li Guning couldn't help stroking the photo lightly with his fingers, and then sat up again.

Although Li Guning didn't know what Duan Jixian did back then, he still had feelings for Duan Zhishu's life that was suddenly reduced.

Long before Duan Jixian came to Li Guning and Duan Zhishu, the predecessor of Jiezi Technology had already been established.But at that time, the company didn't need much liquidity, and the most important thing was that there was no problem with the bank.So although Li Guning knew about this point, he didn't think much about it.

He felt that he and Duan Zhishu didn't like to waste anyway, and it didn't matter if they were struggling.

Until that day, Li Guning's younger brother Li Gu'an fell ill.

"...No, why did you tell me that Xiaoan was sick!" Li Guning received this call from the background, his colleagues saw that Li Guning's phone call hadn't passed a few seconds after the call was connected. His complexion became ugly.

Although most of the people here couldn't understand what Li Guning was saying, after seeing his expression, they originally planned to ask Li Guning if he would go to the party, but they left here without disturbing him.

When Li Guning heard that the grandfather on the other side of the phone was silent, he would say, "Hey, I don't want you to worry."

"Whether I'm worried or not is one thing, but can you afford Xiao An's surgery?" Li Guning rarely became angry.

Both he and Li Gu'an were adopted, and the reason for their abandonment was the same—disease.

Li Guning's mother died when he was very young because of a family genetic disease. Later, other relatives worried that he also had the same disease, so they sent him from house to house, and finally he was thrown into an orphanage.

Unlike Li Guning, the "invisible bomb", Li Guan's innate deficiencies are very obvious.

In Li Guning's impression, his younger brother has always been sick and hospitalized.

But before that, he never thought about it.Although Li Guning's grandparents are not very rich, they have never been stingy in treating diseases.Most importantly, the two old people never talked about money at home.

So until now, hearing Grandpa's helpless and embarrassed voice on the phone, Li Guning began to face up to that topic - money.

After hearing what Li Guning said just now, the other side of the phone suddenly fell silent.And in this brief silence, Li Guning finally realized that he shouldn't speak to his grandfather in such a tone.

"I'm sorry..." Li Guning suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa, don't think too much, I'm just a little angry why didn't you tell me earlier... I'm here at the E Country Theater, and my income is pretty good. You count Calculate the exchange rate?"

"Ah. Really?" The old man was skeptical, "But your expenses are also high..."

"It's not big," Li Guning said quickly, "I dance and don't eat much. Don't worry, give Xiaoan a good medical treatment, and leave the rest to me."

In fact, Li Guning was extremely guilty when he said this.

Although he is well-known in the dance industry and has just won an award, who made Li Guning choose a path completely different from other famous colleagues...

He didn't go out to perform more or participate in other activities when he was young and famous like everyone else.Instead, he chose to study at the University of Country E. Except for the regular performances in the theater, Li Guning spent all his time in school.

In this way, he has no extra performance fees, and only the dead wages from the theater in his hands.

After paying tuition, rent, and living expenses, these wages are running out.The most frightening thing is that although Li Guning was relatively frugal before, he really never thought that one day he would worry so much about money.

After being together with Duan Zhishu, the two used their holidays to travel in Ezhou, and Li Guning barely saved any money.

Li Guning suddenly felt that the heavy hammer of reality had dealt him a critical blow just like that.

"Hey, what's going on with me..." After hanging up the phone, he sat on the steps in the backstage and looked up at the ceiling very sadly.

Li Guning really regretted not saving money before.

But at any rate, as he said, considering the exchange rate, Li Guning is not really penniless.

After returning home that day, Li Guning sent all the money back.And Li Guning originally thought that Li Guan was hospitalized this time, just like so many times before, and he would be fine in two months, but who knew that this was really just the beginning.

Li Guning, who had never thought about money issues before, had no plans for this aspect, and soon he was really penniless.

Just at this time, Mr. Yi Shangmu found him and threw an olive branch to him.

……

In midsummer, Duan Zhishu gave Li Guning a gift a while ago—a half-year-old kitten.

Due to the severe financial deficit recently, Li Guning gave this kitten, which was only called "Miranda" by the original owner, a new name "Wangcai" amid Duan Zhishu's protests.

At that time, Mr. Duan was already cooking with perfect proficiency, and before it was completely dark, the table was already filled with the meals prepared by Duan Zhishu.

——In order to celebrate Li Guning's successful graduation within a week, Duan Zhishu also prepared red wine.

When he was handling the last dish, Li Guning stood behind Duan Zhishu with his little Wangcai in his arms, smelling the aroma of the food as before, and said: "It's amazing! Why did I Boyfriend is so good!"

"Meow~meow~" Although he didn't understand what Li Guning was talking about, Wangcai, the little chatterbox, started talking along with him.

Li Guning didn't see it, and Duan Zhishu, who had his back turned to him, couldn't help laughing when he was loading the plate.Obviously, his compliment to Li Guning was very useful.

But at the moment when he turned around, Duan Zhishu hurriedly hid his smile again.

He cleared his throat slightly, pretended to be serious and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly."

"Okay!" Li Guning put Wangcai on the empty stool beside him, and sat down at the table with Duan Zhishu.

Li Guning went to college a little earlier than the average person, plus he was studying at the same time as working at the E-National Grand Theater, so his daily life was very busy.So he originally thought that he might not be able to graduate so smoothly, after all, the "Strict Entry and Strict Exit" of E Country University is famous all over the world.

However, he did not expect that he would actually succeed in graduating with Duan Zhishu this year.

If it were normal, this would definitely be something that would make him extremely happy.But this year...behind Li Guning's smile, there was a little more helplessness.

Just like Li Guning said to Duan Zhishu, when he started learning dance, he didn't really love this industry, but he loved the opportunities that dance brought him.

But now, without Li Guning knowing it, dancing and the stage have become a part of his life.

Even if you don't talk about love, the hard work and pains endured for more than ten years of dancing practice are not fake.

Li Guning didn't want to give up, nor was he willing to give up.

After Yi Shangmu handed over the olive branch, Li Guning originally wanted to reject the other party on the grounds that he could not give up his studies, and he also convinced himself in the same way.But unexpectedly, he actually graduated as scheduled.

At this time, Li Guning had to face his troubles directly.

Li Guning didn't speak all the time, and he seemed a little uninterested when eating.After noticing this point, Duan Zhishu couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, Gu Ning, are you feeling unwell?"

"No..." Hearing Duan Zhishu's words, Li Guning suddenly and gently put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Perhaps feeling the host's uneasiness, Wangcai, who was sitting on a stool next to him just now, jumped lightly and slipped into Li Guning's arms.

"Is it hot holding Miranda?" Duan Zhishu didn't know what Li Guning was thinking, so when he saw Wangcai jumping into Li Guning's arms, he made a joke about the kitten.

Li Guning liked the kitten that Duan Zhishu gave him very much. A few days ago, Duan Zhishu even joked that he was jealous of Miranda.

But now, after hearing Duan Zhishu's words, Li Guning took a deep breath and put the kitten down on his lap.

Now, Duan Zhishu finally realized that Li Guning had something serious to say to him.

He also put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Meow~" Wangcai twirled on the floor a little uneasy.

"I have two choices now." Li Guning said this sentence abruptly.

The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and even the afterglow outside the window seemed to have cooled down.

The person sitting opposite Li Guning nodded slightly, he was waiting for Li Guning to speak.

Not long ago, before Li Guan's incident came out, Li Guning and Duan Zhishu decided to return to Country A after they graduated.At this time, Duan Zhishu couldn't help worrying, did Li Guning not want to go back for the time being?

But he didn't expect that what he heard was completely different from what he had imagined.

Li Guning said: "One is the National Center for the Performing Arts of Country A. They sent an invitation a long time ago."

Duan Zhishu nodded, he was waiting for Li Guning to say that the other one was staying at the e-country theater.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Li Guning said: "There is one more thing... Shangmu Group invited me to act in a movie."

"Act in a movie?" Duan Zhishu suddenly frowned, "Why?"

Li Guning rarely heard Duan Zhishu ask "why", but now, his eyes were full of doubts.

"...It was Yi Shangmu who told me in person. I think such an invitation from an industry tycoon must be considered. Moreover, compared to dance and film, it is still a minority, and there is not as much room for development as the latter." Li Therefore, what Ning is saying now is what Yi Shangmu said when he invited him before.

Li Guning would not have cared about these reasons until the matter of Li Guan came out.

At that time, he didn't think about the "development space" at all. He just felt that he was very happy to live in the present moment.

"But—" Duan Zhishu paused, and said in the most sincere tone, "I think it's a pity that you gave up dancing."

I don't know what's the matter, obviously Li Guning has done a long time of psychological construction for himself before telling Duan Zhishu these things.But after hearing the other party's words, he still couldn't help but have a sore nose.

Duan Zhishu said, it's a pity.

Yes, it's really a pity.

Li Guning lowered his head, and said in a volume that only he and Duan Zhishu could hear: "Also, dancing doesn't make money."

money.

It has been a long time since the matter of Li Gu'an, during this period, Li Guning never told Duan Zhishu about it. —Firstly, he didn't want Duan Zhishu to worry, and secondly, at this time, Li Guning also knew that Duan Zhishu's company also needed money.

The most important point is that he is still a teenager who just graduated, and he is ashamed to talk about money.

Li Guan had insurance, and although he paid his family for several months, he didn't spend too much in general, at least Li Guning could afford it.

It's just that in the past few months, Li Gu'an's problems dragged Li Guning out of the utopia of the past.

He began to worry about his future, as well as the future of his family, and became completely different from before.

He is very insecure.

"We are still young—" This time, Duan Zhishu was interrupted by Li Guning before he finished speaking.

"You are still young, you are too young to be a businessman," Li Guning paused and said, "but I am different, Duan Zhishu... I don't know about my age, injuries, I can still dance How many years, this is unknown, I can no longer be foolishly happy."

Duan Zhishu saw that when he was talking, a tear fell from the corner of Li Guning's eyes without warning.

He was stunned for a while, and stretched out his hand to help Li Guning wipe it off.But at the same time as he stretched out his hand, Li Guning turned around stubbornly.

Li Guning always felt that he and Duan Zhishu were equal.

Even at this time, Li Guning's dignity does not want to expose his poverty in front of Duan Zhishu—although he never cared about this before.

"I'm not the same as you, your life has no worries, I have..." Li Guning didn't talk about Li Guan, but assumed, "My grandparents are almost 80 years old, what if they get sick ?”

Duan Zhishu knew that Li Guning vaguely knew something about his company, so he didn't try to be brave, but said: "...if my grandparents are sick, I can go home and ask my family to borrow-"

Little did he know that Li Guning was most afraid of such words.

He interrupted Duan Zhishu.

"Don't," Li Guning suddenly stood up from the chair, he said to Duan Zhishu, "don't... I'm just making a hypothesis, you don't have to say that, let alone do it."

In fact, this is why Li Guning never told Duan Zhishu about family affairs.

He knew that if he said something, Duan Zhishu would definitely bow his head to the Duan family.

And before Duan Zhishu and I provoked Duan Jixian just now...

Li Guning knew how proud and dignified Duan Zhishu was, and he didn't want Duan Zhishu to bow down to that person because of him.

At this time, the room was extremely quiet, only Wangcai on the ground cried out softly.

Li Guning sniffed, picked Wangcai up from the ground, and wiped away his tears with his fur.

"Let's all calm down—let's go, Duan Zhishu, I just realized now...we may not understand each other." After speaking, Li Guning walked into the room with Wangcai in his arms.

Those years in country e, especially after being with Duan Zhishu, were the happiest days in Li Guning's life.Even after he became a big star, he still felt that in those few years, he who only knew silly things every day was like living in a dream.

But unfortunately, in the year Li Guning graduated, he suddenly realized belatedly that he and Duan Zhishu were never from the same world.

The author has something to say: This is all in the past~ I will be back in the next chapter~ I swear (bushi)
