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

Ji Duo has been thinking about "publicity" for a while.

His sexuality has long been no secret, and he has never set up any personality over the years, and the so-called "affectionate" by the outside world is just guesswork based on a few interviews.

The matter of publicizing his feelings didn't have much impact on him at all.

What made him hesitate was the public's influence on Ruan Ning'an.

Ruan Ning'an's current shell is a rising star after all. He can't ruin Ruan Ning'an's future because of his own thoughts.

But the conversation between Hu Yixiao and Ruan Ning'an just now made him make an urgent decision.

Even knowing that Ruan Ning'an doesn't mind Hu Yixiao's words, he has a firm relationship with him, but Ji Duo doesn't want Ruan Ning'an to be wronged in matters related to him.

How can he bear these rumors for his lover who was lost and finally regained?

Ruan Ning'an didn't think too far.

Most of the people were angry at him, and the reason for attacking him was very simple - his current body was very similar to the previous one, like a substitute for that person.

If the original owner heard these words, he might be unhappy.But Ruan Ning'an is different, because he is that Ruan Ning'an himself.

Those people said that he was the same as before, that Ji Duo just used him as a substitute, and so on, which would only make him happy.

There will be no other emotions and unhappiness at all.

Seeing that Ji Duo only looked at him without speaking, Ruan Ning'an thought that his too direct and decisive refusal attitude just now hurt his heart, so he couldn't help reaching out to put his arms around his neck: "Think about it, what is the relationship between the two of us? Is someone sowing discord?"

Ji Duo lowered his eyes and looked at him: "What's our relationship?"

Ruan Ning'an: "The relationship between boyfriend and boyfriend!"

Ji Duo still looked at him: "Do you really think it doesn't matter if it's public or not? You have to know that if you don't explain now, more and more people will question you in the future, thinking that you are just using your appearance and name to make your case." Get my favourites."

Ruan Ning'an's pale eyes flickered, could it be that Ji Duo heard what he said to Hu Yixiao just now?

This thought flashed through his mind, and he narrowed his eyes playfully: "Didn't I win your favor just by my appearance?"

"..."

"Teacher Ji, huh?"

Ji Duo was helpless: "Yes."

Ruan Ningan tilted his head: "Besides, do we need others to affirm our relationship?"

The boy's thin arms were still tightly wrapped around the man's neck. The distance between the two was very close, and they could feel the temperature of each other's breath.

This warm and affectionate atmosphere softened Ji Duo's heart.

"Okay, let's talk about this when you want to make it public." His dark eyes locked Ruan Ning'an's tightly, "Then you have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, you have me. No matter what So, I will stand in front of you."

Ruan Ningan bent his eyes and nodded vigorously.

Ji Duo never disappoints him, and always gives him confidence.It is also because of this that he has the courage to face all the storms in the future.

After talking about "business", Ruan Ning'an let go of Ji Duo's neck, and before his hands fell on the sofa, he was held by a man.

The other's head moved closer, and the tip of their nose almost rubbed against each other.

Looking at the suddenly enlarged handsome face, Ruan Ning'an quickly blinked several times: "What do you want to do———"

Before the word "well" came out, the lips were already kissed.

Ji Duo kissed him hard for a while: "Then can I do something that a boyfriend can do?"

After all, without waiting for Ruan Ning'an's answer, he pressed his lips again.

The kiss got deeper and deeper, and the tip of his tongue was sucked, which made him feel as if he was about to be swallowed whole by the other party.

Ruan Ning'an's breathing quickened, his eyelashes trembled rapidly, and the hands around the man's neck drew closer and closer.Although he wanted to sleep after being tired all day, but if he went to sleep after doing something happy, he would definitely be able to sleep better.

Unexpectedly, Ji Duo kissed him for a while, and then slowly let go of him.

The boy opened his slightly confused eyes, and looked at the man in front of him with some puzzlement.The overly passionate kiss dyed his entire face a beautiful crimson color, and his light-colored eyes glistened with water, pure and lustful.

The man's Adam's apple rolled up and down several times, gently rubbing the boy's half-up black hair.

After a long time, he said, "You are too tired and need to rest."

Ruan Ning'an originally wanted to say that he was fine, but after thinking about it, he finally changed his mind: "Then you carry me to take a bath."

The man hugged him obediently.

Ruan Ning'an buried her head in front of the man's chest.

He really has the best boyfriend in the world, he thought.

After winning the victory, Ruan Ning'an did not hesitate to choose the city where Ji Duo once lived, N City.

He doesn't even need to ask, he knows Ji Duo wants to go there.

Sometimes, he and Ji Duo have a very strange tacit understanding.You don't need to communicate too much to know what the other person is thinking.

After eight years of staggering, this tacit understanding has become even closer.

After arriving in N City, considering that everyone has not rested since getting off the plane, the program team decided to give everyone a short half-day vacation.

Most of the older guests went to rest, and the remaining groups of younger ones, most of whom have never been to N City, the cultural capital, planned to go to a few well-known cultural attractions in the afternoon.

Ruan Ning'an and Ji Duo did not participate in their "extra action".Ji Duo has a house here, and he has already arranged for someone to drive the car over.After checking in at the hotel, the two immediately boarded the car to Ji Duo's house.

Ji Duo has lived in this city for a long time and is very familiar with the whole city.His home was in the suburbs, so Ji Duo simply drove around the city.

City N has a long history and culture, the lanes are narrow, and the cars stop and go.

Ruan Ning'an's high spirits from the beginning gradually turned into a fight between the upper and lower eyelids.

"Over there is the library in City N, and there is a small art exhibition hall inside, aren't you—" The man's voice suddenly stopped.

At some point, the boy sitting next to him fell asleep.

The slanting sunlight smudged his black eyelashes into a beautiful golden-yellow color, making his already delicate face as soft and handsome as an angel.

It wasn't until the car behind made a "beep" urging sound that the man came back to his senses and turned down the music.

Ji Duo didn't continue to detour, and focused on driving in the direction of home.

When he was about to get home, the phone suddenly vibrated several times in succession, and Tang Zhen sent him several messages in succession.

Immediately afterwards, on the large screen of the computer's central control, an incoming call notification popped up.

Ji Duo put on the headset and connected the phone.

"Ji Duo—"

"Take it easy, Ningning is sleeping."

Tang Zhen: "..."

He could only make a long story short: "Someone posted a set of candid photos of you and Ruan Ning'an on the Internet."

Just at the red light, Ji Duo clicked on the photo.

This group of photos was taken secretly. Looking at the surrounding environment, it should be next to the waterfall near the shooting location of "The Moon Among the Trees".

Tang Zhen wasn't sure if it was the crew's hype, and immediately called Ji Duo as soon as he saw it: "If it's not the film's intention, it's best to find someone to suppress it while the popularity is not high now."

Ji Duo lowered his eyes and zoomed in on the photo for a while.

The man's thin lips were also slowly raised while looking at the photo.

"It's a pretty good shot."

Tang Zhen: "What?"

Ji Duo: "Don't you think we look like a good match?"

Tang Zhen: "..."

Tang Zhen: "Yes, not only are they a good match, but they also look so fucking in love!"

Tang Zhen: "I called Li Changmin and he didn't answer, so what does this mean?"

"Don't worry about it for now, I'll discuss this matter with Director Li later." After Ji Duo pressed and saved the photo, there was a smile in his voice that he didn't realize, "Let them think that this is a hype by the crew. I'm at the place, I'm busy, so I hung up."

"It's...?" Just as Ji Duo finished speaking, the sleeping boy beside him suddenly opened his eyes.

He put away his mobile phone: "Well, look ahead."

Ruan Ning'an sat up straight, looked around, and immediately regained consciousness.

As the car slowly moved forward, the continuous magnificent buildings occupied his entire field of vision. The moment the car stopped, Ruan Ning'an had already unfastened his seat belt and jumped out of the car.

Ji Duo didn't buy a house, what the hell did he buy a manor!

Ji Duo then got out of the car and walked quickly to his side.Ruan Ning'an naturally held the man's hand.

He raised his head and looked around, his eyes gradually fixed on a tower at the top of the building complex.

Ruan Ning'an stared at it for a while, then slowly frowned: "I always feel familiar."

He turned his head and looked at the man who had been looking at him: "Have we seen this house before?"

Ji Duo: "What do you think?"

Ruan Ning'an faced him, and slowly narrowed his eyes in the sunlight: "I remembered!"

He and Ji Duo had seen a movie in the 90s, and the shooting location was this house.The reason why I was so impressed was not only that the movie is very classic, but also because several famous scenes in the movie were all shot in the tower at the highest point.

Ruan Ning'an suddenly remembered the scene when the two watched the movie together.

The theme song of this movie fit well with the theme of their new album at that time, so the company specially asked the film company to buy this theme song, asked them to cover it, and then put it on the new album together.

Since the theme song of the movie is to be sung, it is natural that the singer needs to watch the movie carefully to understand the story and emotions of the movie.

But at that time, the relationship between the two was not as harmonious as it was at the beginning. Although they were still "brothers and friends respectful" on the surface, they each had their own thoughts and plans in their hearts.

Ruan Ning'an thought about it carefully. That movie seemed to be the... last movie they watched together.

It is also the only tragic movie.

Like some kind of omen.

Ruan Ning'an: "Why did you think of buying this house?"

Although this is a suburb, but look at the construction pattern of this house, as well as the land occupation, plus the blessing of that hit movie.Even if Ruan Ning'an didn't know much about this city, he could still guess that the price of this house was absolutely sky-high.

Ji Duo: "When you were interviewed, you specifically said that you really like the tower in the movie."

Ruan Ning'an's eyelashes moved, he did say that.

When I was very young, the old house in the family also had a tower.Of course it cannot be compared with the towers of this "luxury house", but when he was young, what he liked most was sitting by the window with a picture book in his arms, spending an afternoon alone.

He also wrote the lyrics of a song specially for this purpose.

Although the song was rejected by the producer in the end, it can also be seen from the middle how much he likes this place.

"You bought it because I like it?" Ruan Ning'an's Adam's apple twitched.

Ji Duo was honest: "Well, if you like it, you can buy it."

Ruan Ning'an was stunned for a moment: "There are so many things I like in this world, are you going to buy everything?"

Ji Duo: "Yes."

Ruan Ningan opened his eyes exaggeratedly: "Then what do I want the stars in the sky?"

Ji Duo immediately took out his mobile phone to make a call, but Ruan Ningan cut off the moment the beep sounded: "What are you doing?"

Ji Duo: "Call Tang Zhen."

Ruan Ning'an: "What are you calling him for?"

"When I was watching the news two days ago, I heard an introduction that scientists had discovered a new asteroid. It is said that as long as the funds are in place, I can get the naming right of this asteroid." Ji Duo confirmed with a face, "I let Tang Zhen go get in touch."

Ruan Ningan covered his face: "I just said that casually."

Ji Duo still had that serious look: "Can you call that star Ning Xing?"

Ruan Ning'an resolutely rejected someone's "serious proposal". Sure enough, he has been single for a long time, and he is always a flirtatious guy.

The two walked towards the manor side by side.

Ji Duo: "The trip I went abroad a while ago was not only for the teacher's health, but also for the auction of this building."

Ruan Ningan let out an "eh" and said, "Is that when you bought it?"

Ji Duo: "Well, the buyer has been hesitating. It wasn't until last month that they made a decision."

Ruan Ning'an looked around.

Although it has been many years since that movie was shot, the manor is exactly as it is in memory.Every plant and every tree seemed to be frozen in time.

Ji Duo: "I've already made an appointment for a notary. After the variety show is finished shooting, we'll sign the title deed."

Ruan Ning'an was startled: "Property title? You didn't sign it?"

Ji Duo held his hand: "The house was bought for you, so naturally you signed it."

Ruan Ning'an was suddenly at a loss.He stood there, silent for a moment, and said: "Then if in the future, we are separated like the protagonist in the movie, wouldn't you be at a loss?"

In the movie, the heroine finally leaves the hero.

At the end of the movie, the huge and heavy gate of the manor slowly closed, as if drawing an end to this relationship.

The camera slowly rises and freezes on the tower where the two protagonists have cuddled together countless times.

The floor-to-ceiling windows are still open, but the inside is empty, and there is no longer the hero and heroine who used to be so sweet in every eye movement.

The screen turns -

The closed door of the tower was pushed open from the outside, and two men walked in holding hands.

Standing by the window, the two smiled and looked at each other for a while, then moved forward together, overlooking the entire manor from a height.

As shown in the movie footage, the huge manor full of retro atmosphere is green and verdant in the midsummer sunshine.Every frame without a corner is as beautiful as a medieval oil painting.

"I have stood here many times, looking at everything in front of me, imagining that if you were there..."

Ruan Ning'an smiled and said, "If I'm here, will you also imagine inviting me to a dance like the hero in the movie, and then hug me tightly in front of the French windows?"

That is the most classic scene in the movie, and it has appeared in countless classic movie clips.

"I have always fantasized that I can be with you, in front of this window."

"But it's not just hugging you like this, but here..." Ji Duo suddenly turned around and hugged Ruan Ning'an from behind.

The back of the neck was wet-hot, and the soft-soft-lingering-touch felt like an electric current, spreading to Ruan Ningan's limbs.

When the whole person was pushed against the glass window, he heard the man complete the last two words.

"gan-you."

The author has something to say: Ning Ning: Teacher Ji, you are so coquettish_(:з」∠)_
