They all thought I was a stand-in [rebirth]

Although Ji Duo gave an almost perfect answer, Ruan Ning'an still wanted to try it.At the very least, he felt that it was necessary for him to take the initiative to find an opportunity to meet Jiang Chuan for a while, to see what would happen when he faced himself.

Ruan Ning'an is not the brat who didn't know anything, although to him, time hasn't passed much.But the state of mind is completely different from before, and he has a clear enough judgment in his heart.

These eight years are growth and progress for Ji Duo, and it is actually a growth for Ruan Ning'an.It's just that this kind of growth is invisible and hidden in subtle places.

But on this matter, Ji Duo was more stubborn than Ruan Ning'an imagined.The two insisted on their own opinions, and they were unwilling to back down. As a result, Ruan Ning'an hugged his pillow and went back to his room.

Ruan Ning'an lay on his own bed, staring at the ceiling above his head with his eyes wide open, trying hard to induce sleepiness for himself.

Humans are creatures that are easy to compromise with habits. Once you get used to sleeping with someone next to you, suddenly, this person doesn’t sleep there anymore——

It is easy to suffer from insomnia.

Ruan Ning'an rolled over for the 108th time tonight, then sat up.

He pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the next room.

But for some reason, the voice that could easily be heard through the wall before could not be heard today.

Ruan Ning'an lay down again.

He turned sideways, half of his face sunk in the pillow.

Ruan Ning'an blinked, the soft fabric on the pillow scratched his eyelashes, and there was a tickle at the end of his eyes.

Ruan Ning'an blinked vigorously several times before suppressing the stuff that was about to evaporate from his eye sockets.

·

... Maybe Ji Duo has already fallen asleep, and he is the only one tossing and turning here.

...Maybe, Ji Duo didn't take his thoughts seriously at all.

Ruan Ningan pursed her lower lips, got up suddenly, walked to the door, and locked it with a click.

Outside the door, resting on the doorknob, the slender hand trembled slightly.

In the semi-dark environment, the man's dark eyes seemed bottomless.After the slight surprise, a complicated and forbearing expression slowly appeared on his face, which seemed a little helpless, but more of an unspeakable fear and sadness.

But the expression was fleeting, and he finally turned and went back to his room.

·

Ruan Ning'an didn't sleep well all night, so he got up early and went to the set.

"Hey, Ruanruan, why did you come here alone today?" When he arrived at the set, Liang Bingbing was already inside. When he saw him, he habitually looked behind him, but he didn't see another familiar slender line. The figure asked, "Are you the actor?"

Ruan Ning'an grabbed the script placed beside him: "He's not his follower, I have to follow wherever I go..."

After speaking, I immediately felt that my words and attitude were not good. After all, Liang Bingbing also cared about him, "I mean...he also has his own things to do, and he won't be with me all day long."

Liang Bingbing smiled and said "oh", and didn't continue to ask.

In fact, Ruan Ning'an can understand Ji Duo's worries, but he still wants to try it himself.This time, he is not blind, he is firm.

Because even if the result is not ideal, at least he has enough support behind him.

Liang Bingbing had already sensed that Ruan Ning'an was in a bad mood when Ruan Ning'an spoke.She was one of the few people in the crew who knew the real relationship between Ji Duo and Ruan Ning'an, and she quickly guessed that the two were having a conflict.

Liang Bingbing really wanted to persuade her, but felt that it was not good for an outsider like herself to interfere in matters of affection.This is a matter between Ruan Ning'an and Ji Duo. Even if there is a problem, it can only be solved by the two of them.

but--

Liang Bingbing bent her lips and thought, Ji Yingdi is so fond of Ruan Ruan, even if the two really have a conflict, they should be coaxed quickly.

Maybe, when they are filming next time, they will be "glue like paint" again.

Speaking of the upcoming shoot——

Liang Bingbing looked forward again.

From the beginning of filming to now, what she looks forward to most is tonight's scene.Because tonight, she can finally see the bed scene of Ji Duo, the male star who has been voted for several times by girls most want to "sleep".

Still now!field!Watch!Mo!kind of.

Unexpectedly, this time, Liang Bingbing was wrong.

Ji Duo came soon, but the two did not sit together as she expected.Instead, each sat in his own position, quietly putting on makeup.

Liang Bingbing raised her let go heart again, and began to worry about whether something would go wrong tonight.Fortunately, after the filming started, everything went as usual for the two of them, and the filming in the bar went smoothly.

In this episode, in order to verify that he is "no problem", Jiang Gu frequently strikes up conversations with a few girls in relatively hot clothes in the bar.

He originally had that kind of sunny and handsome appearance, and after a little bit more enthusiasm on purpose, the girls who came here to find a partner were elated, and one even hooked his arm on his own initiative, saying that he wanted to be with him. Let's go dancing together.

Jiang Gu had never learned to dance, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he took the girl to his booth and said he wanted to buy her a drink.

The girl naturally agreed happily.

As soon as the two of them walked to the booth, Chang Ning suddenly stood up.

From entering the bar to now, Chang Ning has been very quiet - sitting in the corner of the booth drinking.

Seeing him standing up suddenly and about to leave, Lu Youran who was sitting next to him hastily held him back: "Chang Ning, where are you going?"

"Dancing." Chang Ning whispered.

Lu Youran was stunned for a moment: "Dance, can you dance? How can I—"

Chang Ning turned around, just in time for a spotlight to turn around, and the white light swept across his face, and the dilated pupils suddenly contracted due to the dim environment.

His eyes became sharp in an instant.

Lu Youran's lips quivered because of the piercing eyes, and his tongue was tied up, but he didn't say the following words in a daze.

Chang Ning walked straight to the dance floor.

Chang Ning has always had this kind of personality. When she wants to do something, she doesn't care about others at all.

No one else can control him at all.

Lu Youran had no choice but to sit back on his seat. He raised his hand to get the beer, picked up a bottle, found it was empty and put it down, ready to change another bottle.As a result, what was picked up was still empty.

After repeating it several times, he took a closer look at the pitcher of beer that was placed on the side of the table in the shade, and there were only a bunch of empty bottles left.

"Chang Ning—" Lu Youran said in a daze, "Chang Ning..."

"What's wrong with Chang Ning?" Jiang Gu also sat down with his sister at this time, and was about to ask her what to drink.As soon as he heard the word "Chang Ning", he immediately turned his attention away from the girl.

Lu Youran pointed to a pile of empty beer bottles on the table: "Chang Ning drank all the wine."

He was full of disbelief, "Is he so good at drinking?"

Jiang Gu suddenly looked into the dance floor.

While they were talking, on the dance floor where the demons danced wildly, with the middle as the center, the crowd scattered in all directions.

And in the center of the circle—

It's Chang Ning.

But... not like Chang Ning.Jiang Gu never thought that he would see Chang Ning like that.

The boy stood alone under the spotlight in the center of the stage, with his arms outstretched.The light was on, and the boy's delicate and delicate face became full of charm. In the half-light, like an angel who fell into the mortal world, he opened his arms to everyone.

Those legs, which usually look very long, look even more straight and slender when they are raised and lowered.It makes people want to reach out and hold his ankle, all the way up, and then...

Jiang Gu's Adam's apple kept rolling up and down, his fists clenched together tightly.He wanted to move forward, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move no matter what.He could only stand where he was, looking at Chang Ning on the dance floor, and put his hands on the shoulders of a tall man beside him.

They were very close, as if they were hugging each other, talking in a whisper.

Jiang Gu only felt that there was a fire burning in front of his eyes, he couldn't see anything in his eyes, and his mind went blank, until the girl sitting next to him called him several times and held his arm without responding, then suddenly Come to yourself.

"Handsome, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Gu ignored him and looked at the center of the dance floor again.

His pupils suddenly constricted.

There was no sign of Chang Ning there!

Jiang Gu shook off the girl's hand and hurried to the dance floor, trying to find Chang Ning.

At this moment, a man closest to him asked, "Are you just looking for the boy who danced just now? Are you friends?"

Jiang Gu froze for a moment, then nodded.

The expression on the man's face suddenly became ambiguous: "Does he like to be fucked by people? I see he went out with a man. Did they—"

Before he finished speaking, the boy facing him punched him hard.

There was an instant chaos on the dance floor.

Chang Ning has no idea what's going on in the bar.

He leaned half against the wall outside the bar.

Standing opposite him was the tall man who danced with him on the dance floor just now.The other party's gaze was like a thread, tightly wrapped around him.

From top to bottom, from the light-colored plump lips to the white collarbone, to those slender legs.

Chang Ning seemed to have no one standing in front of him, he leaned there in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

His face was already beautiful, but under the faint moonlight, the slightly confused eyes gave him a natural and innocent style.

The man couldn't take it anymore and just watched dryly.He took a step forward, raised his hand to hook the thin and fair chin of the boy in front of him, and was about to kiss him.

The moment they were about to touch, the boy suddenly turned away.

He pushed the man away with both hands, lowered his eyes, and said in a hoarse and tired voice, "I'm tired, I'm going home first."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

How could a man let him go so easily? He just thought it was Chang Ning's trick to get him, and hugged him with a wicked smile.Chang Ning reacted quickly this time, dodged to avoid him, took a few steps back, turned around and strode in the opposite direction.

After walking a few steps, a man caught up with him from behind, pushing and pulling him to the wall.

Chang Ning naturally wouldn't let him mess around.But the man was much bigger than him, and he was thinner. When the two wrestled, Chang Ning couldn't take advantage of it at all.

It was quickly pressed and unable to move.

The man's face no longer had the previous patience: "Little red man, don't toast and eat fine wine, seduce me, want to run? There is no way!"

After finishing speaking, she pressed hard against Chang Ning and was about to bite his neck.

At this moment, a gust of wind hit him from behind, and in the next second, the world was turned upside down, and he was hit hard from behind.

This happened so suddenly, the man didn't react for a while, his body was out of balance, and he was thrown to the ground by the people behind him.

He struggled to get up, and soon a foot stepped on his chest.

The force of that kick was very strong, as if it wanted to kick out all his internal organs.

The man grunted and tried to raise his head, and saw the boy in front of him, stepping hard on him, his handsome features were as sharp as a ghost in the night.

Today's filming went smoothly, and the whole scene didn't have too many NGs.Li Changmin smiled and said to Liang Bingbing who was on the side: "Do you feel that Xiao Ruan is getting better and better recently?"

Liang Bingbing nodded: "Yeah, I think he played better in the scene just now than the one we filmed at the beginning."

The scene filmed at this moment is very similar to the scene of the reunion filmed by the two at the beginning.

The only difference is that next to this bar is a large bamboo forest.

It was rare for Li Changmin to reveal his sincerity: "I was running for Ruan Ning'an at that time, and I had a bit of a gambling idea."

Liang Bingbing let out an "ah".

Li Changmin said with a smile: "I shouldn't tell you this, it will make you lose my filter and feel that I am not so reliable."

Liang Bingbing shook her head: "No, if you were the kind of director who wanted stability, you wouldn't have discovered Ji Duo in the first place."

Although Liang Bingbing has not experienced that period, but from the later data, he can feel that when Li Changmin decided to use Ji Duo, many people opposed and disliked him.

At that time Li Changmin had already become famous, but Ji Duo was just a small star.Although she looks great, she has a restrained personality, a bit boring, and doesn't like to talk much.Far less popular than the "Ruan Ning'an" who was on the same team at the time.

Thinking of that "Ruan Ning'an", Liang Bingbing couldn't help but focus on Ruan Ning'an in the field.

The boy stood there very quietly, eyes half closed.The makeup artist is helping him touch up his makeup.

Ji Duo was beside him, also letting the makeup artist help him touch up his makeup with his eyes half down.

Even though there were makeup artists and other staff around the two, they didn't speak, but the atmosphere that haunted them was unparalleled.

as if--

They are not in the same world as others.

They are a world unto themselves, their own.

"Is this the atmosphere of love..."

Liang Bingbing murmured.

"What?" Li Changmin turned around.

Liang Bingbing came back to her senses: "I mean, these two people cooperated so well today, maybe we can finish the filming in one go."

Soon, Liang Bingbing found that she was "happy" too early.

Applying makeup was like a watershed moment, and Ruan Ning'an was clearly out of shape.

Especially in the hug scene, he was obviously nervous and his body was stiff.It feels even more blunt than the first hug scene between him and Ji Duo.

Ji Duo patted him on the shoulder very lightly. If he encounters difficulties in normal times, as long as Ji Duo comforts him a little, Ruan Ning'an can quickly adjust.

But today, he just couldn't find his status.

After repeating NG many times, Li Changmin was almost blowing his beard and staring at others.

He is a very strict director, and he doesn't have a high tolerance for actors making mistakes.When Ruan Ning'an first joined the crew, many people were worried about this young actor with no acting experience.

Not everyone is Ji Duo.

In fact, Ji Duo, who filmed Li Changmin's film for the first time, had suffered enough from the director.

But Ruan Ning'an's performance, especially the scene with Ji Duo, has always been amazing.

Everyone was looking forward to tonight's match between the two, with layers of emotional changes.Unexpectedly, before I started to "appreciate", the fire was turned off.

Li Changmin yelled to let the two protagonists go to the side to reflect and find out their status.

Everyone knew that this "let them both reflect on it" was just Li Changmin's face for Ruan Ning'an.

There is nothing wrong with Ji Duo's performance just now.

Ruan Ning'an returned to his seat, took the script, and randomly drew horizontal lines on it.

He didn't know what happened to him just now, facing Ji Duo alone, especially when he looked into his eyes, he felt uncomfortable.

No matter when, he never felt that awkward feeling in front of Ji Duo.

like-

It's like being wronged.

"You locked the door last night." The man's deep voice sounded beside his ear.

Ruan Ning'an raised his head, the assistant Tian Yiming who was standing next to him just now had left at some point, and now only he and Ji Duo were left in this small area.

Ruan Ning'an's lips moved, and just about to say something in response, at this time, a staff member happened to pass by and sighed: "Wow, Ruanrou, your anti-theft awareness is really good, you will remember to lock the bedroom in the suite door to sleep."

Ruan Ning'an laughed dryly, then continued to look down at the script.

Ji Duo looked at the staff coldly with sharp eyes.

The staff scratched their heads inexplicably, some of them didn't understand what was wrong with their words.

But the people in the crew are all good people, and they already saw that something was wrong here, so they walked away quickly.

Ji Duo sat down on the chair next to Ruan Ning'an and looked sideways at him.

Ruan Ning'an still looked at his script "stubbornly", but under Ji Duo's attention, he started to sweat slightly while holding the pen.

Ruan Ning'an's Adam's apple rolled up and down, swallowed, and felt that he needed to explain what happened yesterday.

Before he could speak in the future, Li Changmin over there started calling them loudly.

The result of not communicating well is naturally dissatisfied.

After NG again for three or four times, Li Changmin didn't let the two of them find their own feelings, but waved away the people around them, leaving Ruan Ning'an alone.

·

The night is foggy.

The two stood in the depths of the small bamboo forest, and birds flew by from time to time, and the black figure drew an arc of black in the dimness.

After so many consecutive NGs, Li Changmin already knew very well that there was something wrong with the two of them.

In the past, Ruan Ning'an's best performances were in scenes with Ji Duo.

When filming the first part today, his performance was quite normal, but when the two of them were alone in the later scene, the whole thing was wrong.

But if he asked Ruan Ning'an about the relationship between the two of them at this moment, it would be almost equivalent to insinuating their personal relationship.

Ji Duo has always disliked being probed into his privacy, even when he was crazy like that back then, he never revealed his heart, and all the opinions of outsiders are just guesses.

As Ji Duo's friend and "mentor" for many years, Li Changmin naturally wouldn't do that.

The only thing he can do...

Li Changmin walked back and forth a few times, stood in front of Ruan Ning'an, and put his hand on his shoulder.

Li Changmin: "What does acting mean to you? Why do you want to come to act?"

Ruan Ning'an's trembling eyelashes froze suddenly.

This was the first time someone asked him this question after returning to this world.

Ruan Ning'an's heart suddenly beat rapidly, and the thoughts that had been hidden deep in his heart and suppressed by him burst out so suddenly.

After being reborn, he actually has a lot of choices, and he doesn't have to cling to the entertainment industry that cost him his life.

The reason why he was willing to try this script at the beginning, after deducting the apparent reasons, was in the final analysis only because——

Ji Duo is here.

He came to act just for Ji Duo.

even--

No matter how Ruan Ning'an didn't think about it, he couldn't get rid of that thought.

There is no revenge, no re-empowerment.

When he returned to this world, his greatest desire was to make up for the regrets of his previous life.

And there is only one regret in his previous life, and that is Ji Duo.

He wants to go back to Ji Duo.
