Reunion [entertainment circle]

Ji Ran looked at the gossip magazine in his hand, and muttered softly: "Am I so popular in Hong Kong? It's strange that there are paparazzi following me 24 hours a day and secretly taking pictures of me..."

Say was so irritable that she almost went crazy: "You don't want to say that Zhang Jiarui did it again?"

Ji Ran shook her head: "It's not her, she's too proud to allow herself to lose, exposing the relationship between me and Xiao Mo to the media is tantamount to admitting that she lost herself, she wouldn't do such a thing, but it's still strange, that day in In addition to me and Xiao Mo, the bar also has Su Xiang and Xu Dan, why didn't I mention it, the Hong Kong tryst between the actor and the actress, isn't there anything hot about it?"

Say lost his temper when he heard this: "What's so strange about this? It's a gathering of your friends. It's nothing compared to you and Boss Xia's two separate dates, which can attract attention. The two of them have been fired for a long time. It doesn't necessarily mean anything new, and they are definitely not as close as you and Boss Xia."

If you think about it with your toes, you know that Shen Dayingdi is not capable of doing such a thing of kissing people in public. Only Ji Ran will not die if he doesn't do it. If he becomes crazy, he will tell him a hundred times to pay attention to the influence There are many.

Say doesn't think it's strange. Ji Ran is very popular now, and there are various gossips about men and women. It's not surprising that he will be targeted by the Hong Kong paparazzi. The inside material of the black building was dug out early in the morning, and this magazine was nothing more than fried rice. It was only because of a few authentic photos that it made a headline and a hype gimmick.

"There's no other way now, anyway, I just killed myself and can't admit it." Seeing Ji Ran's thoughtful look, as if he didn't seem to be listening to himself, Say was so angry that he wanted to punch someone: "What are you listening to?" Have you arrived yet?"

"Um……"

Ji Ran deserved to be careless, and Chen An on the side asked him in a low voice: "Brother Ji, what are you going to do?"

"Cold salad." Ji Ran snorted softly, threw the magazine away, didn't bother to talk, and nestled in a chair to sleep.

While waiting to board the plane, Xia Mo called and also asked Ji Ran what he planned to do. Ji Ran asked him with a smile: "What do you think?"

There was silence for a while, and said: "Why don't you just admit it."

"Come out?" Ji Ran clicked his tongue: "Boss Xia, I still want to make a living in the entertainment industry."

"Aren't you just playing tickets?" Xia Mo didn't think so. Ji Ran didn't really want to be in the entertainment circle at all, otherwise he wouldn't act like this according to his own temperament: "If you can't get along in this industry, change to another." That's it."

Ji Ran hesitated for a moment, then his tone became serious, and asked him: "Xiao Mo...are you serious?"

"It's serious," Xia Mo said, "If you agree, I can publicly admit our relationship."

"Can your family accept it? I heard that your mother is not in good health and has a heart attack, right? You are not afraid of what happens if she is stimulated...or forget it...I don't want to be this sinner."

"...do you know about my family?"

"Ah... last time when your fiancée came to make trouble," Ji Ran said nonsense: "You should deal with the family affairs first before discussing whether it is public or not."

"You don't have to think about me, you..."

Ji Ran interrupted him impatiently: "I said, it's not just about coming out, okay? Now everyone is saying that I'm destroying your relationship with Zhang Jiarui. I'm a third party. If we If you really came out of the closet, you’ve been sitting on the truth. You’ve always abandoned me and women for men. The most important thing is that if your mother can’t accept it, I won’t be able to afford it. You should calm down and think about it. I'll figure it out, don't worry."

Xia Mo on the other end fell silent again, and after a while told him to be careful, he hung up the phone.

On the afternoon of returning to Beijing, it happened that Ji Ran had an event for a certain drink that he had previously endorsed, and he needed him to go to the platform. It was originally just a small event, but it attracted dozens of media, big and small, all of them aimed at his same sex. Gossip.

This time Ji Ran didn't do Tai Chi anymore, he just bit him to death. He and Xia Mo are not in the relationship reported in the magazine, but just good friends. It's not a date at the bar, but a group of friends gathering together, and directly Unceremoniously throwing out his own best friends, so that they can go to Shen Yaoxiang for verification if they don't believe it. As for the so-called kissing photos, they are all excuses.

A reporter asked persistently: "It is rumored that you got your new film role and perfume endorsement through him, is it true?"

"There is indeed a certain relationship, but this is a cooperation between the two companies. I was selected out of various considerations, not related to our personal friendship." Ji Ran replied calmly without blushing.

"Since you are friends, do you know when Mr. Xia Mo will marry Zhang Jiarui? They have been engaged for a long time, right?"

"This is his private matter, I don't know."

A succinct sentence made the final summary, after that Ji Ran didn't answer any questions, got off the stage and got in the car to leave under the protection of bodyguards.

Along the way, Say saw Ji Ran not saying a word, with a sullen face, knowing that he was probably in a bad mood, and didn't bother him any more, just reminded him in a low voice that he would go back to the set tomorrow, but fortunately his part is coming to an end, and the shooting location is also from Tianjin. Turning back to Beijing, it was not in a hurry. Ji Ran didn't say a word, and looked at his mobile phone screen expressionlessly. There was a text message from an unfamiliar number on it: Xiao Ran, I'm Aunt Xia. Do you have time? See you soon Let's meet.

******

Xia Mo's mother Xia Qiulanzhen is a middle-aged lady who is nearly fifty years old but still dignified and beautiful. Ji Ran and her met in a coffee shop near his apartment. Ji Ran was very polite to Aunt Xia's family. When you meet, you just bow and say hello.

"You're welcome, Xiao Ran, sit down."

Ji Ran sat down opposite her. The Aunt Xia in front of her was still as elegant and gentle as before after seven years. He looked at it but felt a little uncomfortable. Before his relationship with Xia Mo was discovered, Aunt Xia treated him He has always been very good. When he was young, he often went to Xia Mo's house to play with him. Aunt Xia would make all kinds of snacks for him every time. She always smiled softly at him and said that she was hers too. Godson, it's a pity that he should never have fallen in love with her own son.

"Aunt Xia, long time no see."

Ji Ran stirred the coffee in front of him and opened his mouth first. The other party smiled and said, "Xiao Ran seems to have changed a lot."

He came directly after the announcement, and the makeup on his face was not removed, but Ji Ran couldn't tell whether she was talking about appearance or something else, so he just pursed his lips and didn't speak.

"Last month, Xiao Mo went back to the United States. He told me and his father that he didn't want to marry Jiarui. We only found out that he was with you again after we questioned him," the woman in front of her sighed softly. He took a deep breath and asked him: "He doesn't remember the past, have you told him?"

"No."

"...Are you not going to say it?"

"Auntie, do you want me to say it?" Ji Ran asked her back, the nervousness when she first came in was gone, and there was a little smile on the corner of her mouth: "I don't want to say it."

The other party didn't seem to believe it, and frowned slightly: "Did you really say that?"

"No," Ji Ran shrugged: "I grew up with Xiaomo, I know his character very well, if I let him know what happened before, he will definitely not leave me, but he will be very self-conscious. If I can remember it, of course it would be great. If I can’t remember it, he will always be in pain. Maybe he won’t say anything but he will always think about it and even blame himself. I don’t want to see him sad and entangled. I don’t want to be the only one who remembers it. Things became his burden and made him feel that he owed me. He didn't want our original equal feelings to be mixed with guilt and compensation. Moreover, the previous things were not good memories for me, and I didn't want to expose my scars. .”

Xia Qiulanzhen was a little surprised to hear him say that: "Then why..."

"Auntie wants to ask me why we are still together?" Ji Ran smiled: "Probably we are naturally attracted to each other, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't remember me."

Hearing this, the other party frowned even tighter: "You are all boys..."

"Auntie, you told me this seven years ago," Ji Ran interrupted her: "Back then you said that the two of us would have no future together. At that time, we were young and had nothing. We really couldn't see To hope, and then he had a car accident and lost his memory, so we separated, but now it is different, we have grown up, we are able to take care of our own lives, it is just that we like the same sex, I don’t think there is any problem, And I don't think there's any reason to keep us from being together."

"I heard that you're singing and filming now? Your identity doesn't allow you to have such a relationship, right? What will your fans and movie fans think when they find out?"

"If I hadn't known before that Xiaomo would come back to inherit his grandfather's career, I wouldn't have done this job at all." Ji Ran replied with a smile: "Singing and filming are just hobbies, and if others can't accept it, they just quit. I also invest in some side businesses, so even if I don’t rely on my family in the future, I can support myself and won’t become Xiao Mo’s burden.”

The other party fell silent after hearing this, and said after a while: "...you are a good boy, but we only have Xiaomo as a child. My biggest wish is to see him get married and have children earlier. I can't accept you and Mo. his relationship."

Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, the seemingly gentle person is actually the most paranoid, and it is not something he can explain in a few words: "Auntie, have you deceived Xiao Mo that Zhang Jiarui is his girlfriend, have you ever thought that if he How sad it will be to know the truth. After he loses his memory, he doesn’t know anyone. The only people he can trust and rely on are you and uncle. Let him know that the parents he has always trusted the most cheat him like this. What will he think? Really love Xiao Mo, why don't you think about it for him and listen to his thoughts instead of imposing your own wishes on him?"

Hearing that Xia Qiulanzhen's complexion was a bit uneasy, the child who would only foolishly repeat that she must be with Xiao Mo back then became so eloquent that she almost couldn't stand it. She was very uncomfortable: "so you still plan to tell him?"

"I won't, unless he can remember," Ji Ran said, "I know you are not in good health, Xiao Mo is a filial son and he can't bear you. If it wasn't for this, he would have left with me seven years ago. I don't want him to resent you because of our affairs, so I won't tell him, and I won't make it difficult for him."

"What you are doing now is making it difficult for him. He refuses to get married, and even quarreled with his father because of you. He has always been obedient and never contradicted us when you were not around these years..."

"Auntie, if he finally chooses to give up on me because of you, then I have nothing to say, but if he insists, I hope you can let us go, at least don't make Xiaomo feel bad for you because of me."

This kind of conversation will not have any results in the end. When leaving, Ji Ran finally said to the woman in front of him: "Auntie, I will not tell Xiao Mo about the fact that you approached me today. Anyway, I still hope that you can finally accept it." us."

******

Walking out of the coffee shop, Ji Ran felt a severe headache when the cold wind blew. The phone rang, and it was Xia Mo who called, and he answered after several rings: "Is there something wrong?"

"I read the news reports, and you denied it."

"Well," Ji Ran smiled: "That's great, we should seldom see each other these days, it happens that my movie has the last few important scenes left, I have to concentrate on work, so don't bother me."

"...Are you unhappy?"

"No."

Xia Mo didn't know what to say for a while: "Then...you take good care of yourself, and I will go to you after the filming is over."

"Ah."

"...Then I hang up."

"it is good……"

Before hanging up the phone, Ji Ran suddenly called out again: "Xiaomo..."

Almost blurting out, Xia Mo stopped as he was about to hang up, and asked carefully: "Is there anything else?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Ran sniffed and asked him, "Will you always be with me? No matter who said anything?"

"Will do."

There was almost no hesitation in the answer, and Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you should also pay attention to rest, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Ran closed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth again, and went home briskly.
