reborn star

"Our [-]th anniversary, come back!"

After sending this message, Li Mingrui leaned halfway on the sofa. He closed his eyes, but the photo of two naked people embracing each other seemed to be rooted in his mind and he couldn't get rid of it.

Li Mingrui was unusually calm. In fact, he had always known that there were people outside Lin Hui, and there were more than one, but they didn't tell each other publicly, so he just deceived himself and continued to live by Lin Hui.It's just that this time Lin Hui's newcomer was a little more arrogant. This time he took Lin Hui's mobile phone and sent him this photo, trying to challenge his bottom line. Undoubtedly, he succeeded.

Li Mingrui was not angry at the boy who was standing next to Lin Hui, and he never thought of coming to the house to beat and abuse the mistress. After all, Lin Hui was the culprit. He wanted to have an affair, so what did he have to do with others.

For Lin Hui, Li Mingrui was already very calm.

When I first discovered it, I saw the entertainment news on the computer, which exposed a photo of a third-tier movie star passionately kissing. In the photo, Lin Hui only had a blurry back, and people on the Internet only recognized the little movie star’s face. But he didn't know who the other person was, and they all guessed the identity of that person, but he saw it at a glance, and was stunned instantly.This is not filming, and the object of the kiss is not the woman in the play, but a handsome boy. He has to accept the fact that Lin Hui cheated.

He never thought that such a thing as cheating and having an affair would happen to him. He always thought that the two of them were different from ordinary couples. After all, they had experienced so many ups and downs together. How could he be defeated by a young actor when he was in a good life?He was puzzled, he was angry, why did Lin Hui do this, the person who kept saying he loved him and couldn't live without him, why did he hug others and kiss him intimately, what about himself?

He smashed the computer like crazy.

One thought filled my mind, destroy him, this person dared to betray you, as long as you expose your relationship as lovers, and see how he is still in the entertainment circle, another thought is also clamoring, you have paid for this person Everything, dropping out of school, quitting the showbiz, and sacrificing his own future, how could it just end like this, so what is all that he paid, Li Mingrui can't fail like this!

Later, he chose the latter and endured it silently.It's just that I didn't expect it at the time, and this was just the beginning.

If I had known... If I had known that the result would be like this...

Li Mingrui recalled the time when he had just met in college, when Lin Hui looked like a sunny boy, eagerly and blatantly pursued him crazily, which was too surprising for girls who were used to shy and restrained confessions, but After a year of pursuit, Li Mingrui finally accepted him with a mentality of trying.

I still remember that time when Lin Hui stood in the snow with a bouquet of flowers for two hours. Li Mingrui secretly opened the curtain upstairs to look at it a few times, and finally ran down with his cotton slippers. He raised his hand in Lin Hui's surprised eyes. Throwing away the flowers in his arms, in the face of the other party's pale face, she hugged him suddenly and kissed him.

After the kiss, Lin Hui's mouth and face turned red, "You...how did you throw my flowers!"

"Isn't that mine?" Li Mingrui laughed.

How romantic, how unforgettable!Since you choose to be together, let's risk everything. When we dropped out of school with Lin Hui, we stood in front of the university gate, and once hesitated. If he just gave up on his university, is the man around him worth doing for him?

But he turned around and left without hesitation.

Distributing leaflets, serving dishes, repairing cars, selling clothes...every day is very hard and tiring, but looking at the person next to him, my heart always swells slowly. Li Mingrui once felt that he was really crazy!

Later, by coincidence, the two of them were recruited to be graphic models by virtue of their outstanding appearance, and there were many people in the entertainment industry in the model circle, so the two of them gradually came into contact with the entertainment industry.It was a place with a glamorous exterior and a dark interior. If you want to be famous, you need money, people, or unspoken rules. It is really difficult to be famous with so-called strength, not to mention that they don't know much about this industry.Naturally, the two of them would not follow the unspoken rules, so on many nights, as extras, they squatted on the ground holding a boxed lunch to quickly solve the food problem, and then went to play dead people, soldiers, and countless people drowning in the crowd.

But they are still very happy, they will hold each other's meat during meals, kiss secretly while no one is around, and hug each other tightly in the damp basement at night, as if there are only two of them in the world.That was actually the most bitter moment in each other's lives, there is no second.

He was ridiculed and stared at, as well as the provocative eyes of the rich.

Fate always has a turning point. Their turning point was when Lin Hui was appreciated by a makeup artist. It happened that the makeup artist had a good relationship with a director, introduced Lin Hui to the director, and luckily made an appointment for the next movie. supporting actor.

That night, Lin Hui couldn't stop laughing excitedly. He proudly said: "I want to prove to the world that you, Li Mingrui, are right to be with me. I will make a lot of money for you to spend, and make you count the money until your hands cramp. Then I will raise you and make you comfortable for the rest of your life, haha..."

Li Mingrui was also happy for him. The two imagined a bright future together, where to buy a house, where to travel, and where to settle down.It's just that they were too immature at that time, and they were too happy too early. Not long after, news came that the supporting actor had been given to someone else. It turned out that a rich businessman spent a lot of money to make another person famous.

That night, Lin Hui was desolate, and asked Li Mingrui with red eyes: "Is it because I have never made it in this life? I will always be looked down upon, right?" His face was full of despair, "Ah Rui, follow me and wrong you, I brought you on this road, I really want to make a lot of money, I want you to live a good life with me, but I'm really useless, Ah Rui, I'm sorry!"

Li Mingrui smoked on the balcony all night, and made a decision the next morning.

He went to find Li Donghai, the man who was his father in name, since he came to understand the truth in junior high school, he never accepted Li Donghai's help no matter how difficult his life was. He always wanted to maintain that bit of self-esteem, but In the end, it fell short.Facing Li Donghai's indifferent face and mocking eyes, he felt a dull pain in his heart, but he acted as if nothing had happened on his face.

Li Mingrui threw the money he wanted into the crew, not only got Lin Hui's supporting actor back, but also got a few advertising endorsements. When Lin Hui heard the news, he cried in front of him for the first time.Li Mingrui just held him in his arms and hugged him affectionately.

For the sake of the person in front of him, what is it to throw away the so-called dignity?

But then...

Li Mingrui was thinking, when the sound of unlocking came, he sat up straight, looked at the man who came in, his gentle smile concealed all his emotions: "Huihui, I cooked, let's eat together!"

The man stood at the door for a while before he changed into his slippers and walked into the kitchen. Looking at the candlelight dinner that had been prepared and the poured red wine, his eyes were slightly complicated. He glanced at the figure of Li Mingrui holding the bowl and chopsticks and sitting at the table.

Li Mingrui picked up the red wine, held it in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Tenth anniversary, cheers!"

The man looked at him for a moment, then silently picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it down.

Li Mingrui said softly: "Unexpectedly, ten years have passed in a flash. I originally wanted to invite you to a French restaurant. I thought you might not show your face, so I made it at home. Try this chicken curry taste. This is my research. Made from the recipe, haven't tried it yet."

"It's okay." The man took a sip.

Li Mingrui paused, and asked, "Did you have a stomach problem recently? Drink less alcohol, and don't disregard your health for entertainment."

"Ah."

There was an unusual silence in the room. They hadn't seen each other for five days. Li Mingrui wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any common topics, so he could only bow his head and eat in silence.While the man opposite was eating the food on the table, it was tasteless. It was obviously delicious food, but he was not interested at all.

He stood up after taking a few bites, "I'm leaving."

Li Mingrui was taken aback, and persuaded: "Let's eat some more, don't let other things disturb our anniversary today."

"I don't want to eat." There was no hesitation at all.

"This is our tenth anniversary..." Before he finished speaking, the man finally broke out the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, "Tenth anniversary? I thought it would be 20 or 30 years. Li Mingrui, you really made me very happy It's boring, I'll get stuck when I see you, which normal man would stay at home all day long, cook, wash clothes and clean the room, if I'm with you, I might as well find a nanny." After saying that, he regretted it a little, but after all, he said I've said it all, and besides, he has ridiculed Li Mingrui not once or twice, so he didn't open his mouth to explain.

Li Mingrui smiled slightly: "I also think I'm quite abnormal. I was not a normal person a long time ago, don't you know?" It's hard to persist until now, and since last year, he went to nightclubs many times to vent his repressed emotions, and then became addicted to drugs... The other party only knew that he had an appointment with a psychologist, but he didn't know anything about the nightclub.

The man was fed up with his unchanging smile for thousands of years. He always felt that Li Mingrui was mentally ill, maybe even nervous. In anger, he overturned the table. When the vegetable soup was served, he turned around and left regardless.

Li Mingrui looked at the mess on the ground, it was the result of his whole afternoon, "Huihui, you..."

"Don't call me this name again, how many times do you want me to remind you?" He turned angrily, "Li Mingrui, are you out of your mind? I changed my name for several years and you still can't remember it. You don't know how to watch TV. Don’t you know how to read entertainment news? The person in front of you is Lin Yiran, don’t call me Lin Hui anymore, you need me to say it several times!”

Even at the point of turning his face, Li Mingrui still had a faint smile on his face, yes, Lin Hui was gone long ago, since he became popular, he changed his stage name to Lin Yiran, probably he is the only one in the world who still misses Lin Hui He felt uncomfortable, Lin Hui, the sunny boy, why did he disappear?

Although the handsome man in front of him has the same face, he is no longer the boy he loves so much. He is the actor who has countless fans and has won two gold awards in a row. The TV series, movies and advertisements about him are constantly being released.

Lin Yiran is looked up to by everyone, only Lin Hui is his own.

Lin Hui was humiliating and embarrassing to Lin Yiran, and it was a memory that he wanted to erase. For Li Mingrui, it was the only salvation. Many nights he had to rely on the memories of the past to survive.

"Li Mingrui, what do you think, let me make it clear as soon as possible, do you know that every time I think of you, it makes me very uncomfortable, and the money I owe you has been paid back to you, yes, I admit that you are very good to me, in my worst case I helped me when I was there, but that's all in the past, and I don't want to talk about those bad things. It's such an era, you should at least follow the trend, look at what you're wearing, look at your haircut, The soil must be slag."

"You bought me the clothes I'm wearing. You said this hairstyle looks good."

"The clothes have been washed and discolored by you. You have been wearing them for several years, huh? Just this hair was out of fashion a few years ago, and you are not afraid of being laughed at on the street." Lin Yiran said with a sneer, "No, you Of course, I’m not afraid of being laughed at by others, and I’m suffocating at home all day, who else can watch it except me? Are you not sincerely answering me?”

Li Mingrui said slightly apologetically: "I didn't mean to upset you, it's just that today is the anniversary, and I... miss you a little, so I just want to have dinner with you. I'm sorry to bore you, I won't do it in the future .” Actually, after today, there will be no future.

Lin Yiran was always angry, and Li Mingrui's humiliating appearance would be better than a fight with him, it will always be like this, his tolerant and tolerant appearance makes people suffocate.He turned around and left, not wanting to stay in this suffocating environment.

The moment he opened the door, a question came from behind him: "Huihui...do you still love me?" If you listen carefully, the voice is a little choked up. If he turns around at this time, he will see Li Mingrui's eyes are slightly red .

Lin Yiran lowered his head, he wanted to reprimand Li Mingrui for calling the wrong name again, and wanted to mock him, what is repayment?He just controls his own thinking, only wants the literal meaning, can't think too much, can't think too much!So, he just paused, remained silent, and then closed the door and left.

Sitting in the car, Lin Yiran slammed the steering wheel hard. He was so depressed that he pulled the neckline to make it easier. He took out his mobile phone, looked at the photo Lu Yan sent to Li Mingrui with his mobile phone, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

When Lu Yan took the photo, he was pretending to be asleep, and he forgot to delete the trash after posting and deleting it. Lin Yiran saw it when he turned his phone, but he acquiesced to this behavior.He really wanted to know how Li Mingrui would react to this photo.

From the initial cover-up, Lin Yiran deliberately showed signs of having an affair many times later, but was completely ignored by Li Mingrui. He couldn't understand and even despised this man, how useless this man was to endure his affair.Fortunately, he still thought that Li Mingrui would explode when he went back this time, but there was still no reaction.

This kind of person would actually ask himself whether he loves him or not. What did Li Mingrui rely on to dare to ask this sentence? In a word, Lin Yiran wouldn't love this useless, decadent, and worthless man if he wanted to build a relationship, he wouldn't!

Thinking of this, he drove away without hesitation.

Li Mingrui stood where he was, staring blankly at the closed door, silent for a long time, then bent over to clean up the mess on the ground.

He was very patient and cleaned up the residual liquid several times, until the tiles in the kitchen were as clean as new, and he was a little satisfied. Then he started to tidy up the house again, sweeping and mopping the floor, cleaning every corner and corner, and giving the window sill Watering the potted plants, feeding the little goldfish in the fish tank... Until two hours later, he repeatedly confirmed that the room looked brand new and there was no room to clean.

He walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked down through the window. There was only a faint yellow light, but no one was there. He suddenly recalled that day of that year, in the snowy winter, when the boy was holding flowers and foolishly Standing in the snow on the ground, he opened the curtains like this, secretly staring at the boy's figure, and then made that decision that day, and then embarked on another path in life.

He closed his eyes, those beautiful pasts disappeared with the passage of time, Li Mingrui was the only one who stayed in the same place and refused to leave, his life from the moment he could remember until he was 31 years old, every bit of his life flashed through his mind , and then he realized that there was nothing worth nostalgic for, and he had to admit that his life in this life was really a failure.

He picked up the fruit knife from the coffee table, walked slowly into the bathroom, closed the door of the bathroom numbly, and turned on the faucet of the bathroom...
