He is really fragrant after marrying a wealthy actor

It's too dark and I'm afraid.

Gu Ling bowed his head silently, seeing that Qi Che's hat had pushed down his forehead hair, and his brows and eyes were a little unclear.

But he still saw a trace of taking it for granted and without thinking in these eyes, as well as blind confidence in his answer.

Gu Ling took a deep breath, looked at the fans in his arms who worked so hard to fix things, and felt heartbroken for them.

They can't let them know what kind of magical brain circuit Qi Che is, so as not to give them too much psychological blow.

The braided side put away the things, and walked over carrying the big and small bags to put them in the trunk: "Brother Ling, put them in the trunk."

Gu Ling responded, and didn't even bother to look at Qi Che any longer, and carried the things into the trunk.

Qi Che frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled by his inexplicable white eyes.

After closing the trunk, Twist Braid looked up and saw a few buses not far away that had just left, and said with some guilt: "Sorry Brother Ling, I delayed your boarding and going back, otherwise..."

She wanted to ask Qi Che for instructions to see if Gu Ling could go back to the hotel with the car.

Knowing what she meant, Gu Ling stretched out his hand to stop her: "I'll wait for the bus."

He paused and said, "Avoid suspicion."

Twisted Braid was startled, and suddenly realized: "Ah, yes, I was not thinking carefully."

Last night, the video of Mr. Qi and another boy being filmed just became a trending search, so it's no wonder that people want to avoid suspicion, so as not to get into trouble.

"It's okay." Gu Ling moved a few steps away, "Hurry up and go."

Twisted pigtails got into the passenger seat, and the car drove away slowly.

The car window was still not lifted up, Qi Che looked out sideways and bid farewell to the fans.

"We must work hard!"

"Remember to report the progress!!"

"The car is safe to chase, and the parking lot is always with you!"

"Chong Chong Chong—"

Amidst the sound of cheering and cheering, Qi Che took the time to look up at Gu Ling who was hiding in the crowd.

Gu Ling's eyes passed through the gap between the heads, met his exquisite eyebrows, and then quickly looked away.

【They ask what is the progress now】

[Don't look at me, don't ask me, I don't know]

The eyes met for a second, and Gu Ling felt that he understood his meaning, and he should also understand his own...

Right.

After resting for more than ten days, Zhang Chen clamored that he had to go back to the set.

Fortunately, his body is quite resistant, the operation is minimally invasive, and the doctor's skills are quite good, so he recovered better than others, and he can support his work in the crew.

"I'm going to be idle in the hospital for the past half month and I'm going to have trouble." In the hotel restaurant at night, Zhang Chen was holding Gu Ling's arm and didn't let go, "You don't know how much I miss you."

Gu Ling pulled out his arm in disgust: "Don't be disgusting."

The two took some dinner and sat down at an empty table.

"By the way, I have used my Sherlock Holmes-like investigative ability in the past half a month." Zhang Chen suddenly pretended to be mysterious, and said with his head, "Then I discovered a shocking secret."

Gu Ling took a sip of the soup and signaled him to stop talking nonsense with his eyes.

"I-found-discovered-" Zhang Chen dragged his tone to create suspense, and finally said in a low voice, "Mr. Qi's pursuit must be in our crew!!"

Gu Ling choked violently, coughing until his face flushed.

Zhang Chen handed him a tissue, his eyes sparkled: "You are also shocked by my conclusion, aren't you?"

Gu Ling coughed so hard that he couldn't speak, and gave him a thumbs up without a word in his busy schedule.

Zhang Chen recalled: "No, isn't this conclusion explosive? Does everyone know it?"

He rubbed his chin and muttered softly: "After I returned to the crew yesterday, I did hear a lot of people discussing who it is. But this discussion has been going on and on, and it's been half a month without a conclusion. .”

Gu Ling managed to catch his breath. He didn't know how to answer this topic, so he pretended to be calm and said along with him: "Well, indeed."

"Oh, do you think Teacher Qi didn't let it come out?" Zhang Chen continued to think, "He's afraid that if he doesn't catch up in the end, he will lose face too much?"

Gu Ling: "..."

Seeing that he was silent and didn't care, Zhang Chen said to himself, "No, I'll do it, and the truth will be revealed soon."

Gu Ling couldn't hold back anymore, and raised his eyes to give him a cold look: "Can't you be more honest? Take care of your body and do your job well."

Zhang Chen disagrees: "Do you understand what it means to kill three birds with one stone? Excellent talents always take care of all the work..."

Gu Ling wished he could smear the egg fried rice in front of him on his face.

Because he didn't want to discuss this topic again, Gu Ling speeded up his meal.

When he was about to finish eating, Aunt Xu Lan came from behind and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Ling, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Chen hurriedly gave up his seat: "Aunt Xu is here."

Xu Lan sat down, and Zhang Chen asked next to him, "Can I sit here and listen? Or me..."

Xu Lan looked at Gu Ling and said nothing.

Gu Ling guessed what she wanted to say from her expression. Anyway, there was basically nothing to hide from Zhang Chen in the conversation with her, so he nodded.

Zhang Chen sat on the side, quietly cooking the rice.

Xu Lan said, "Xiao Ling, I saw this when I was using Douyin yesterday."

Xu Lan pushed the phone to Gu Ling, and Gu Ling clicked on this Douyin video.

"Hey, Auntie is quite fashionable." Seeing Gu Ling looking down at the video without making a sound, Zhang Chen smiled proactively in order not to be cold-hearted, "I've taken a fancy to Douyin."

Xu Lan smiled: "Let's also see what you young people like."

After watching the video, Gu Ling saw that it was a recorded video of a marriage proposal. The scene seemed to be in a small hotel. The overall environment was average, but the decoration was quite careful.

"This is a hotel in Changxi Town at the foot of the mountain. This Douyin blogger made a marriage proposal here and posted a video. I saw it when I checked the same city video." Xu Lan explained, "Look at this wall. .”

With her fingertips, Gu Ling noticed the wall, on which hung a pair of watercolors that didn't quite match the dilapidated hotel in this small town.

Gu Ling raised his eyes and looked at Xu Lan hesitantly.

"I recognize this painting, it was drawn by your mother, and the manuscript is sealed in the frame!" Xu Lan's tone became visibly excited, "It is also possible that this painting has flowed here, after all, your mother's natal family was next door before she got married. City, maybe you will end up here..."

Gu Ling could only hear his heartbeat suddenly became stronger, and the impact made his eardrums vibrate a little.

"Aunt Xu, how are you sure..." Gu Ling took a closer look at the painting in the video and said, "This is just a painting of a figure, maybe someone copied the same painting as my mother."

"Impossible!" Xu Lan immediately said firmly, "It's impossible, it must have been drawn by your mother."

Gu Ling raised his head and saw Xu Lan looking at him with tears in his cloudy eyes:

"Because the child in this painting is you."

After Xu Lan left, Gu Ling sat where he was, looking down at the notebook in his hand.

The first page of the notebook listed the address of the real estate once owned by the studio that Aunt Xu Lan had found for him before.

He had investigated in his previous life, and his mother once lost a batch of manuscripts when she was moving around in the studio. They were created when she was about 20 years old. This has always been her regret, until she died in the same car accident as her husband. She never gave up looking.

Gu Ling didn't give up either. Ever since he knew of the existence of these manuscripts, he had been trying to find out their whereabouts, which had become his biggest obsession in his previous life.

That is to say, taking this point into account, the Gu family has always claimed that the batch of manuscripts were kept in the attic of the Gu residence, and offered him various terms of exchange, only to find out in the end that it was nothing but an empty plan, and they deceived him a lot. Year.

In the first reincarnation, there are already many places that can be ruled out, but even for the remaining places, Gu Ling asked someone to search for them during this time, but they still found nothing.

All the addresses in the notebook have been crossed out, and when I was at the end of my life, I saw this painting.

Ever since Xu Lan left, Zhang Chen sat down opposite Gu Ling again.

The restaurant was full of people coming and going, noisy and noisy, talking and laughing everywhere.

But Gu Ling kept his head down like this, looking at the notebook for a while, looking at the TikTok video for a while, repeatedly going back to the few seconds when the painting was recorded.

Zhang Chen didn't say a word, just accompanied him silently, and finally waited for him to look up.

"I have to go to town." Gu Ling's eyes were a little red, as if some emotions were on the verge of bursting.

"Okay, when will you leave?" Zhang Chen responded immediately, "There are few announcements these two days, so it shouldn't be a big problem. If you have any work, I will take it as long as I can."

"Thank you." Gu Ling rubbed his eyes and blinked vigorously, trying to calm himself down, "I'm leaving now, and I'll try to come back tomorrow morning so as not to delay work progress."

Zhang Chen frowned: "Will it be unsafe at night?"

"It's okay." Gu Ling stood up, lowered his head and wrote down the address of the hotel located in the Douyin video, "Such a small town, can I still get lost?"

Nine p.m.

Gu Ling squatted decadently on the side of the dirt road in the small town, sharing two grilled sausages with a little yellow dog.

I bought the grilled sausage from a canteen. When I went in to ask for directions, the owner of the canteen asked for consumption in order to exchange information.

In the end, he bought the sausage and pointed out the way. Gu Ling went around for a long time, but he couldn't find the "Lanxin Hotel".

On the small roads in the town late at night, there are only sporadic drunks who have just finished drinking from relatives and friends, and old aunts who have returned home after playing mahjong.

There are also chickens, ducks and dogs returning to their cages.

In this small town, Baidu Maps still played a little role, but it was obvious that the hotel was too small to show on the map at all, so we had to ask for directions.

However, except for the owner of the commissary at the beginning who pointed out the right way, everyone else I met was old and had no idea about hotels.

Gu Ling thought about it for a while. There is really no need to go out to stay in this small town. If there are any, tourists should live here.

There are not many tourists in Changxi Town, but Changxi Mountain often has crews filming scenes, so fans or people in the industry who want to shoot Reuters will come here, and they will stay in a hotel.

It's a pity that it's getting late, and Gu Ling couldn't find anyone who looked like he was coming from out of town and might be staying.

After eating the first sausage, Gu Ling threw the sausage stick to his side.

Although it is a bit uncivilized, but after all, there is garbage all over the floor behind him, so it should not be a big deal.

Coincidentally, the stick didn't hit the ground, and he seemed to see it hit a pair of shoes out of the corner of his eye.

A pair of shoes that obviously wouldn't be in this small town.

Gu Ling raised his head slowly, and saw a pair of long legs that seemed to have no end, then a narrow waist tied in a belt, and broad shoulders...

A man with disheveled black hair and indifferent eyebrows wearing a mask under the moonlight at night.

Gu Ling blinked, was he hallucinating? ?

The man in the hallucination took two steps forward, crushed the stick under his feet, and then his chest heaved, as if suppressing some emotion:

"You really got lost?"

Gu Ling: "..."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this voice.

This voice was clear, indifferent, with a hint of helplessness and displeasure at the moment.

Gu Ling suddenly stood up: "Qi Che??"

Qi Che's eyes lifted following his standing up, and then fell on the little yellow dog at his feet.

The little yellow dog stared at the grilled sausage in Gu Ling's hand, almost drooling.

Gu Ling didn't know whether he was shocked or happy for a moment, anyway, he was vaguely relieved to see the savior: "Why are you here??"

Qi Che didn't answer, but turned his eyes away from the little yellow dog, and closed his eyes helplessly: "Give it to eat."

Gu Ling was startled, then lowered his head, and saw that the puppy's saliva was almost dragging to the ground.

Gu Ling: "..."

"I'm sorry, right now." He bowed his head and apologized to the puppy, and at the same time apologized to Qi Che, who was obsessed with cleanliness.

Gu Ling removed the skewer from the roast sausage and threw it aside for the puppy to eat, then Qi Che asked, "Have you found it yet?"

"No." Gu Ling asked back, "How do you know I'm here? How do you know I'm looking for something?"

"Zhang Chen said it." Qi Che said, "Yu Chen saw that you didn't go back and asked Zhang Chen. I heard him explaining."

"Then you just search around the town like this? It's a coincidence that you can come across it." Gu Ling asked suspiciously. He didn't tell Zhang Chen where he was coming to Changxi Town. The town is quite big. .

"It's not a coincidence." Qi Che was silent for a moment, "I asked for directions."

Gu Ling was puzzled: "How did you ask?"

Qi Che's tone was calm: "Ask if you have seen a person asking for directions."

Gu Ling: "..."

You put it here, put it here.

Gu Ling sighed, and just about to say that he really couldn't find the place to go, Qi Che said again: "Come with me."

Gu Ling watched him turn around in surprise, and followed him: "You found it? Do you know where I'm going?"

Qi Che remained silent, so Gu Ling had no choice but to follow behind his tall and indifferent back.

Suddenly, he heard a crackling sound coming from behind him.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, the little yellow dog was following him step by step.

"I'm gone." Gu Ling spread his hands and coaxed it, "I'm really gone! You should be full too!"

The little yellow dog seemed to understand, but anyway... it seemed that he was not very happy.

Gu Ling heard a low growl from its throat, and its eyes began to glow green under the moonlight.

"It's over." Gu Ling quickened his steps to get closer to Qi Che, and whispered, "I seem to have provoked it."

Qi Che didn't respond to him, and his pace remained unchanged.

Gu Ling thought to himself, at first glance, this person has never had friendly communication with wild dogs, let alone had any quarrel with wild dogs, so he doesn't know how powerful he is at all.

The more he heard the movement behind him, the more flustered he became, and he quickened his pace. Seeing that Qi Che hadn't responded yet, he grabbed Qi Che's sleeve and pulled him forward.

The pace of the two quickened, and the dog behind them also walked faster, and began to bark ferociously.

After running for tens of meters, seeing that the puppy hadn't given up, Gu Ling's heart was beating wildly, and he began to think about countermeasures.

It just seems... there is no decent countermeasure...

"Qi Che." Gu Ling called out tremblingly.

Qi Che seemed to have finally realized something was wrong, and the brows and eyes outside the mask slightly frowned, looking at him.

Gu Ling took a deep breath: "Run!"

He ran as soon as he could, fearing that grabbing his sleeve would not work, so he grabbed Qi Che's arm instead and ran wildly, dragging and tugging.

The sound of howling wind suddenly filled his ears. Qi Che was two steps behind at the beginning, but his long legs did have an advantage, and he ran to the front within a few steps.

"Still chasing, what are you doing!!" Gu Ling fluttered in the wind.

With a backhand, Qi Che grabbed Gu Ling's wrist instead, taking the initiative and dragging him away.

In the small town under the mountain in the middle of the night, two young men are running, followed by a dog.

Finally, he ran to a place with a lot of private houses. Gu Ling ran wildly, but Qi Che slammed on the brakes and made a turn, and was dragged into a narrow alley.

Before Gu Ling could react, he was pressed against the dirt wall, and just about to speak, Qi Che raised his hand to cover his mouth.

The little yellow dog chased after him, and seemed to have lost his way outside the alley, and then another dog in the private house noticed something was wrong, and barked one after another, scaring the little yellow dog away.

The surroundings finally quieted down. Seeing the yellow dog outside the alley leaving, Qi Che turned his head and lowered his eyes to look at Gu Ling.

Gu Ling was panting so badly that he was stuffed under the palm of his hand, and every touch of his palm was warm breath.

Qi Che licked his upper lip unnaturally, and let go of his hand.

Gu Ling took a sudden breath of fresh air, lowered his head forward, and took a deep breath.

It was only after the Venus in front of his eyes had run out that he realized that the posture he and Qi Che were in at this moment...was very strange.

Next to his ear was Qi Che's arm supporting the wall, and he wrapped himself in his arms, and with a slight movement of his leg, he could touch the opponent's leg.

Gu Ling didn't know where to put his eyes, and finally lowered his gaze. Seeing Qi Che's Adam's apple rolling up and down, the roots of his ears immediately became hot.

I never thought in my life that I would be chased by dogs with a big star like Qi Che.

"It's a good thing no one caught it." Gu Ling panted, "Otherwise you would become the artist with the most bizarre reasons for house collapse..."

He made an inappropriate joke, just to adjust the current somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

Raising his head, he saw Qi Che was still in a very close distance, looking down at himself, the mask was still wearing obediently, rising and falling with his breathing.

Seeing that Qi Che didn't respond to the joke, he made amends in embarrassment: "Just kidding, the house won't collapse..."

"Does that count?" Qi Che interrupted him, his voice was a little hoarse, he paused, and then he asked uncertainly, "Bidong?"

Gu Ling: "..."

He didn't expect the big star to think of such an idol drama plot in such a distressed situation.

Gu Ling turned his head to the side to avoid Qi Che's sight, but found that the two of them were too close, if they didn't look at his face, they had to look at his shoulder, and if they didn't look at his shoulder, they had to look at his waist.

The weather was too hot, and Qi Che's clothes were already wet in a large area after all the tossing.

He was wearing a casual black shirt today, not so formal but very slim. After getting soaked, Gu Ling even felt that he could trace his sharp abdominal muscles and waistline with his eyes.

Gu Ling took a deep breath, bent his legs to make him stay away, and said stiffly: "It doesn't count, it's an escape!!"

When Qi Che heard this, he blinked quickly, looking a little puzzled, and then he seemed to accept the statement, so he was a little disappointed.

Gu Ling took his tiny micro-expressions into his eyes, thinking that this little robot wouldn't feel frustrated because of Bidong's failure, right?

The two left the narrow and dark alley, Gu Ling rubbed his hot cheeks, and brought the topic back to business.

"So you just asked me to come with you, did you find a place?" Gu Ling asked, "Do you know where I'm going?"

Qi Che glanced at him: "Lanxin Hotel, everyone in the town says so."

Gu Ling: "..."

What's the matter with his eyes full of "speechless"? ?

What he had to accept was that Qi Che led him to turn for more than ten meters, and he really came to the side of a small sign that said "Lanxin Hotel".

A lot of the neon lights on it have been broken, and now there are only "Three Gold Soldiers".

"I don't want to change any of these lights." Gu Ling immediately found a reason to make amends for himself, "I can see this?"

Qi Che glanced at him again with the same eyes as before: "07:30, before it was completely dark, I found it."

Gu Ling: "..."

He said seriously: "Teacher Qi."

Qi Che raised his eyebrows, apparently surprised by this slightly unfamiliar title.

"You're here..." Gu Ling said half of the sentence, but didn't say the rest. Thinking that the person in front of him helped him anyway, he had to change his words, "It's okay, I just want to thank you."

Qi Che raised his eyebrows again: "No need."

Gu Ling smiled dryly: "You wait for me outside, I'll go in and ask."

He walked into this dilapidated door, and there was a little girl at the front desk, watching a video.

Gu Ling glanced at it, and suddenly found Qi Che's face on the screen. The content of the video was quite familiar. It was the clip of Qi Che licking the screen that he had seen before.

He touched the tip of his nose, which felt a little subtle.

"Staying in a hotel?" The little girl was around junior high school and looked very mature.

Gu Ling said, "I'm here to inquire about something."

The little girl was immersed in the beauty of the prosperous age on the screen, obviously impatient, she gave Gu Ling a blank look: "What?"

Gu Ling turned on the Douyin video and showed her: "This painting...is this one, is it still there? Can I take a look?"

The little girl looked at her in her busy schedule and said, "Sold by my mother."

When Gu Ling heard this, his heart immediately trembled.

He asked in a low voice, "Where did you sell it? When did you sell it?"

The little girl was terribly annoyed, and said quickly: "I sold it to Grandma Huang in the town. Just two days ago, she said it looked good, so I took it back and put it on display."

Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is a place to go, and this place is not far away.Judging from the old man's tone, he probably won't resell the painting again.

"But it's already at this point, Grandma Huang went to bed early." The little girl turned her eyes, and her business sense came up, "You might as well stay one night before going. My shop is the only one in town, and you have nowhere else to go live."

Gu Ling actually had such a plan, after all, he didn't want to disturb the old man's sleep because of his own affairs.

Anyway, the old man got up early, so he could get up early tomorrow morning to ask questions, and then take the car up the mountain to return to the set, and the time was just right.

After thinking this way, Gu Ling realized that the biggest trouble was still standing outside.

Gu Ling turned around and went out, seeing Qi Che standing a little further away.

Under the moonlight, the man's figure appeared tall and strong, with long and straight legs, standing there made people feel that he was walled off from other people.

Gu Ling walked over and asked, "I have to stay here tonight. I will go to an old man in the town tomorrow. The things are with her. It's too late tonight, so I don't want to disturb you."

He looked around, wondering how this man got here: "Where's your car? How do you get back?"

Qi Che whispered: "I go back?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Ling looked at the dilapidated house behind him, feeling aggrieved for this clean freak, "You live here...I feel really bad about it."

"It's okay." Qi Che said, "The driver drove back a long time ago. I originally planned to stay overnight."

Gu Ling tilted his head, doubting Qi Che's real intentions.

As if understanding what he was thinking, Qi Che sighed softly and said, "The mountain road at night is not safe."

Gu Ling: "Oh."

He touched the tip of his nose, and said this, as if he didn't care about his safety at all, which made people feel a little guilty.

"Then..." Gu Ling thought he had no other choice, so he had to say, "Then I will wrong you tonight. In this way, I will go in first, and you will go in later to book a room. This is more hidden. By the way, you don't want to go in." Talk too much, put your hat down to cover your eyes, the little girl here is probably your fan..."

He turned around and walked in, Qi Che took a small step on the spot, then stopped moving again, watching him walk in.

Gu Ling first went in and got a room. Sure enough, the small hotels in this town are not strictly controlled, and they don't even need to check their ID cards.

When he came to the room, Gu Ling turned on the light, looked at the only small light bulb flickering and sighed deeply.

There was almost no light in the room, it was dim, and it was pitch black outside the window, making it look a little cold.

Of course the room was not clean, the temperature was still very high, and it was terribly stuffy.Even Gu Ling, who had endured hardships in his previous life, couldn't bear it, let alone Qi Che, the famous cleanliness patient.

I don't know how he is doing now, and I don't know if he plans to call a car to go back to the set overnight after seeing the situation of the room...

"Dong dong dong", the door was knocked softly.

Gu Ling turned and walked over, opened the door, and saw the person outside with a question mark above his head.

"How do you..."

Qi Che stood outside the door, slightly lowered his head, and raised his eyes to look at him.

"Don't tell me anything, this hotel only has this one room right now, which is such a bloody plot." Before he opened his mouth, Gu Ling indifferently refused to leave him a way out, "It's no wonder that the rooms in this small town are full. There are more rooms than guests.”

Qi Che's mask undulated slightly, as if he opened his mouth.

Before he could say anything, Gu Ling interrupted the spellcasting again: "Don't say you didn't bring your ID card or something, she doesn't look at the ID card. It doesn't matter if the phone is dead and you can't pay, I can order it for you."

Qi Che: "..."

Gu Ling saw him looking at him silently, and there seemed to be a trace of deep grievance in his dark eyes.

Gu Ling: "So what happened?"

Qi Che lowered his eyes, this person seemed to be sighing a lot tonight: "The room is too dark, I'm a little scared."

The author says:

The routine was blocked, but he didn't follow the routine
