Ji Ling stared blankly at Ning Yu.

The handsome face of the young man looked a little dull in the dim light, except for those black eyes, which had a light and gentle brewing in them.

Ji Ling's face suddenly flushed, inexplicable why did you tell me your secret, we are not familiar to that point, what did your secret tell me?

Ji Ling's heart was beating non-stop, he suddenly turned his head and continued watching the movie, just pretending that he didn't hear anything just now.

Ning Yu saw that he was stunned for a moment, then turned to avoid himself, was silent for a moment, and continued to watch the movie as if nothing had happened.

But... do you really know nothing about our existence? Are you unaware of my expression? Or do you actually notice it, but don't want to admit it?

Either way...

Ning Yu closed his eyes, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, and then let out a helpless chuckle, you really haven't changed at all...

You are still not ready.

Ji Ling stared at the movie screen, seemingly very focused, but in fact, his attention was always on the young man beside him. He was nervous, curious, and complicated, but he desperately held back and did not look back, not daring to look at each other.

He was very contradictory in his heart, but he didn't know what he was contradicting.

What does he want to know? Still don't want to know? Or afraid to know?

Ji Ling didn't understand.

He didn't even understand what he was struggling with, and why he couldn't reject the other party as neatly as he rejected Mr. Fu before.

When the movie was over, it was already very late. Ji Ling did not refuse Ning Yu to send him home. Not long after, the car stopped downstairs of his house again.

The cool breeze seems to have calmed down some of the ambiguous aura, adding a touch of indifference.

Ji Ling suddenly remembered the first time they met in Ning Kehan's villa. At that time, he heard Ning Yue's name as Ning Yu and was shocked. That night, Ning Yue also drove him home in person.

What did you think at that time?

Ji Ling looked back at the other party, looked away uncomfortable, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for today."

Ning Yu looked at the young man's delicate face, with a shy look, and smiled softly: "It should be me thanking you, thank you for giving me a chance."

Ji Ling's face turned red again, he really didn't know what to say, so he turned his head and left.

When he got home, his parents had already rested. He quietly went back to his room and was about to take a shower. Suddenly, his mobile phone ding-dong, and a message from Ning Yue came in: I'm very happy tonight, Yes... good night.

Ji Ling couldn't help walking to the window, looked out through the gap in the curtain, and found that Ning Yue's car was still parked outside.

A strong, inconspicuous premonition resurfaced in his heart again.

The secret you want to tell me? what exactly is it?

Why do you want to like me?

Ji Ling put his finger on the phone and almost wanted to ask this question, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally only replied with two words: good night.

Ning Yu sat in the car, raised his head slightly, and could see the boy's home.

There was a thin body in the window, which was illuminated by the light - a projection fell on the window, and disappeared again after a while, and received a reply from the other party on the mobile phone.

Ning Yu looked at those simple words and slowly revealed a smile.

What a soft-hearted and kind child, actually I want to tell you, I am really happy, you can no longer have any constraints, you can show your own appearance, do what you want to do, and no longer have to play anyone , do anything against your will.

I understand now that you were helpless at that time, and I was more like an idiot who didn't know how to advance or retreat...

Well, you are back.

And you didn't lie to me in the end.

This is the happiest thing I've learned after traveling to every corner of the world for countless years...

Since you don't want to stay in my world, then I will come to your world.

That's fine too.

………………

Ji Ling went back to school again and threw herself into a fulfilling and busy study life.

Ning Yue didn't chase after him, he just sent him some messages from time to time, and occasionally said good night to him at night, and when he ate something delicious outside, he would take a picture and send it to him, saying that if you like it, will take you next time. Go...even the frequency of sending messages is not high, Ji Ling sometimes forgets to reply when he is busy, Ning Yue doesn't ask anything, and he doesn't call often.

It made him feel at ease, as if they were really just friends.

If it wasn't for Ning Yue taking the initiative to say that he liked him, and he always reminded him of Ning Yu... I'm afraid Ji Ling would have forgotten that this person was pursuing him.

Ji Ling got off get out of class a little late that day. He hurried to the cafeteria. There was already a long queue in the cafeteria. Wang Yixin and others went to find a seat and arranged for Ji Ling to line up. He ran into Wen Yan in the cafeteria again.

Senior Yu Wenyan looked as handsome and gentle as always. He looked at Ji Ling, his phoenix eyes were slightly bent, and he smiled: "You are back."

Ji Ling also laughed, and then remembered that Yu Wenyan's school had invited him to discuss the original painting of the game, but he escaped because of embarrassment, and he didn't take the initiative to contact the other party after returning, which made him a little embarrassed... Besides, Senior Yu Wenyan is the only person other than Ning Kehan ​​who knows that he is being pursued by men, and he doesn't know how he will treat himself.

This made Ji Ling a little nervous.

Wen Yan looked at Ji Ling's eyes dimly. He actually kept following Ji Ling's movements. When he learned that Ji Ling was going out, he actually thought about chasing after him, but his reason stopped him. If he really did that... Will it be hated?

Teenagers may not be ready to accept themselves into this world at all.

That's right, Wen Yan also discovered that novel.

After reading the novel, I realized that I was only a character in a book, but Ji Ling should not be. The many differences in his performance in that world, and all the behaviors he did that were inconsistent with the characters in the original book, all showed that he In fact, it is a person from this world... This seems to be able to explain why he can be so calm in this world, and he in this world is more like his original appearance, and the look in his eyes is brighter and more dazzling.

Because this is his real world.

is his home.

So you already know what kind of person I am, the despicableness and filth in my heart, and how I betrayed and hurt you... But you don't mind this, and you don't despise my existence...

He never despised me, hated me... You tried to live peacefully with me, but I let you down, and did not hesitate to hurt you in order to get you.

But even so, in the end you protected me.

Pain slowly pulled Wen Yan's heart...

You came from another world far away and gave me redemption and made me understand what it means to love someone and respect someone.

I don't have the right to expect your love.

But how lucky I am to be able to come to your world...

meet you again.

"Senior Yu, when do you have time to talk about the game you said last time?" Ji Ling blinked. He felt that it was the kindness of Senior Yu. Of course, he had to take the initiative and never take it seriously. If so, how disrespectful to others.

Wen Yan regained his senses, looked at the boy's anxious and embarrassed eyes, felt his thoughtfulness, his warm and sunny smile, and slowly nourished his cold heart, penetrated along the ubiquitous wounds, and let him Gradually feel my own existence... You are still so gentle.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Any time."

Ji Ling said, "Then tonight, okay?"

Wen Yan nodded.

Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief, smiled shyly, and just happened to line up to him, so he hurriedly went to grab a meal. When he came out, Senior Yu was no longer there, so he took a plate and went to eat with Wang Yixin and others.

The afternoon class was over quickly.

After dinner, Ji Ling went to the library to find a quiet corner, and then sent a message to Senior Yu about where he was.

Ten minutes later, Wen Yan came over, and he also had some materials in his hand.

Ji Ling stood up and waved to him with a smile.

Wen Yan smiled, came to sit down opposite him, and said softly, "Have you waited for a long time?"

Ji Ling shook his head: "No, I just came here."

"Well...then let me introduce this game first. This game is set in the future of the apocalypse. The army of survivors will fight against zombies. Players can choose different characters to form a team..." Wen Yan lowered his eyes and took out My own information, explain slowly.

Ji Ling was very devoted when he was working. He listened very carefully and raised his doubts from time to time.

Wen Yan talked for ten minutes, and finally said: "As for the characters of these characters, you can draw them according to your understanding and show them to me first."

Ji Ling bit the tip of his pen and thought for a while, then said, "Wait."

When Senior Yu introduced it just now, there was a staff officer in it. He acted calmly and deliberately. He liked to hide in the dark and attack the enemy. For some reason, he thought of Wen Yan and thought it really fit...

Although the force is not the strongest among those monsters, the insidiousness and cunning are definitely enough!

He picked up the pen and started drawing on the sketchbook, and soon a man with long silver hair tied behind his head, with a feminine and handsome face jumped onto the paper, probably because he was too familiar with it, he was able to draw with ease.

Ji Ling put down his pen, looked up, and unexpectedly found that the man in front of him was staring at him. In those dark eyes, there seemed to be dark emotions that he couldn't understand, and he couldn't help but stay for a while: "Senior Yu, what's the matter with you?"

Wen Yan was not in a calm mood and looked at Ji Ling.

You still remember my appearance so clearly, can I hope, have you ever missed me?

It's a pity that I also know clearly that you have always only mercy for me.

But at least, you haven't forgotten me, have you?

His voice was hoarse: "You draw beautifully, this is—"

Ji Ling looked at Wen Yan, and then looked at his own painting. Just now, he drew it in his head, but now he thinks it is inappropriate.

□□ Someone else's portrait right!

He closed his sketchbook, paused and said, "Forget it, I don't think this painting is good, so let's paint it again, it's too late today, I'll send it to you by email when I'm done, okay? "

Wen Yan's voice was a little awkward: "I think the painting is very good..."

"Really?" Ji Ling didn't want to bring too much into the past of that world, and didn't want to confuse that world with reality. He's been troubled enough recently, so why bother himself? He smiled: "Let's talk about it next time."

Wen Yan saw the perfunctory and avoidance of the young man, and the words hovering on the tip of his tongue could not be exported.

He really wanted to show his identity, but he was afraid of scaring the young man and letting him know that he had come to his world, so that he would be alienated and guarded against himself. And everything, reluctance to break the status quo, which made him very conflicted and painful.

want to be closer to everything,

But I am afraid that I will lose everything I have now because of impulse.

So Wen Yan could only nod his head and said, "Okay."

Ji Ling said goodbye to the senior and left the library to return to his dormitory.

He slumped down on the bed, closed his eyes and recalled the information given to him by Senior Yu, thinking about how to draw, but the faces of those people in the world couldn't keep coming up in his mind, especially the protagonists and supporting roles, all of them. They are all unforgettable... Could it be that the truth is because they are so good-looking that they can't forget them?

Ji Ling knocked his head hard, you are really enough!

………………

It was also a coincidence. From that day on, Ji Ling was eating in the cafeteria, and he often 'ran into' Senior Yu Wenyan.

Wen Yan said that he is usually very busy, so he can discuss the game while eating. Ji Ling thinks it's okay, he can't let the seniors always make time to meet him, right? It seems normal to have dinner and discuss work in the cafeteria.

The only thing that made Ji Ling feel a little embarrassed was that Senior Yu always helped him prepare meals and waited for him in the cafeteria. Over time, the embarrassed Wang Yixin and others stopped eating with him, and even teased him that Senior Yu was openly coming out of the closet. , Maybe you really like men, you have to be careful if you see them.

A few people were unintentional, Ji Ling was intentional, and even more uncomfortable facing Senior Yu, but the other party had never behaved like this. If he said something self-indulgent, wouldn't he embarrass each other...

And Ji Ling actually doesn't want people from that world to appear, he likes the current calm very much.

I don't want to be robbed again, I don't want my life to be messed up.

And that's a paranoid with a very abnormal brain. If he really came to this world, don't know what it would be like... Has he learned to be a normal person?

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

After class, Wang Yixin and others made an appointment to go out for dinner. Before leaving, they smiled at Ji Ling: "Go to the cafeteria, maybe Senior Yu is waiting for you."

Zheng Lin: "I suspect he is chasing you."

Chen Ming: "He has come out publicly, so he doesn't really like you, does he?"

Ji Ling's face was dark: "Don't talk nonsense."

Wang Yixin: "Why are we talking nonsense, if you don't like it, who will watch over you every day."

Zheng Lin: "What you said makes sense..."

Chen Ming: "I can't refute..."

Ji Ling: "..."

Suddenly don't want to go to the cafeteria.

Just when Ji Ling was hesitating, the classmates had already walked away with a hahaha laugh. He was walking on the boulevard, but accidentally bumped into a person in front of him, looked up, and said unexpectedly: "Mr. ?"

The man with brown hair and brown eyes looked at him with a smile, and the corners of his lips were elegantly curved: "What are you thinking about, you don't even look at the road."

Ji Ling smiled embarrassedly: "Nothing, why are you here?"

He thought that the other party had returned home long ago.

Carlos sighed softly: "You haven't contacted me all the time, so I have to come here to find you. It seems that you haven't considered my proposal last time."

Ji Ling thought that I really forgot...

Carlos seemed a little disappointed, but said softly: "I didn't mean to urge you, if you don't plan to sign my gallery for the time being, you can also sell your paintings to me. I really like your paintings very much. Keep seeing your latest work."

Ji Ling was even more embarrassed. He really didn't think his paintings were that good. They deserved the repeated requests from people like Mr. Field, and this gentleman was too generous, which is why Ji Ling didn't sell it. Give him the reason.

Although he is a student, he is not short of money to that point.

always feel weird...

Getting rich overnight doesn't always seem real, doesn't it?

But the other party's appearance is so kind and hard to resist, Ji Ling thought for a while, took out a rolled drawing paper from his backpack, and said shyly: "If you really like it, I will send this painting to you. Hello..."

The expression in Carlos' eyes became softer, and there was also a hint of sadness.

You are really good at everything, but you are still so gentle and considerate, and you are only ruthless enough in one thing, that is, you are unwilling to accept my love.

Carlos took Ji Ling's painting and unfolded it to look at it. It was a very beautiful scenery, not a scene from that world, but it was still agile and vibrant.

He looked at the embarrassed young man, and did not mention the matter of buying a painting, but happily accepted the gift from the other party and smiled: "Thank you, I like it very much... By the way, are you doing anything tonight?"

Ji Ling shook his head and said instinctively, "It's okay..."

Carlos smiled: "I want to invite you to dinner as a thank you, I wonder if I have this honor?"

Ji Ling almost bit his tongue: Oh, why am I so honest and didn't expect to lie? !

But he had already said the right words, and he would be embarrassed to refuse again. Ji Ling said, "...You are too polite."

Carlos said with a smile, "It's a matter of courtesy."

Ji Ling: "..."

In fact, I just want to send you the painting to get rid of you early QAQ

He could only leave with Mr. Field obediently. Mr. Field did not take him far away, so he chose a western restaurant near the school.

Ji Ling sat opposite the man, feeling like facing the school leader, and this is an existence that even their dean has to be careful with! Worst of all, it always reminded him of that horrible, possessive man...

Ji Ling was silent for a while, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Senior Yu: I have something to do tonight, so I won't go to the cafeteria.

Although the other party never said anything, Ji Ling just felt that Senior Yu might be waiting for him... Even if Senior Yu didn't wait, it should be fine to say so... Because if the other party is waiting, I feel like I'm letting go Like other people's pigeons.

He put down the phone, raised his head, and met the man's deep smiling eyes.

The man's voice was low and sweet, he patiently asked him what he liked to eat, ordered food for him, and even brought freshly squeezed juice.

Although this restaurant is already the best one in the neighborhood, in Carlos' eyes, the environment is still very simple, and the dishes are not so good.

This world is very ordinary, but fortunately, teenagers like it.

The young man seemed to be a little nervous, he refused to look up at him, and kept his head down to eat, that careful and well-behaved appearance was exactly the same as what he remembered...

In fact, the teenager is really different from the arrogant and domineering original owner. Probably because he never cared about what the original existence looked like, he ignored the difference between the youth and the original owner.

At that time, he never thought that someone would come from another world... and his own world was just a fictional world in someone else's pen.

But fortunately, you are real.

This is the only surprise and gift God has given me.

Carlos looked at the young man with love and pity in his heart. He couldn't help raising his hand and gently wiped off the smudge on the other side's mouth. Then he saw the young man raised his head abruptly and looked at him ignorantly and blankly with his dark and clear eyes. Like a defenseless little animal.

He didn't know that everything he was escaping from came with it.

Ji Ling felt the man's fingertips brush the corners of his lips, raised his head to meet the man's gentle face, but remembered that strong and terrifying man, who was always polite and strong in front of him.

Carlos...

Ji Ling clenched his hand holding the fork and pursed his lips nervously. Scenes from the past flashed in his mind, Carlos' cold side, gentle side, paranoid side, sad side... and finally his own death. In front of him, his sad and painful eyes.

No matter how terrifying and ruthless this person is, he has no doubts about his heart.

Unfortunately, I can't give him a response...

Guilt, sadness, fear, all kinds of emotions surfaced in Ji Ling's heart. His expression was a bit complicated.

Carlos sighed softly, no matter how much he did or changed later, the first impression he gave the boy would never be erased.

But since I have come to this world, how can I give up on you?

The only thing I love.

………………

after dinner,

Ji Ling put down the knife and fork, because of the messy thoughts in his mind, he seemed more cramped and well-behaved, and said, "I'm done eating, thank you for your hospitality, I should go back."

Carlos stood up and picked up the jacket on the chair: "I'll take you back."

Ji Ling: "..."

He followed the man back in a trance, looked at the other side's face inadvertently, and kept thinking in his heart, don't think about it! You see, although Mr. Field is very similar to Carlos, he is not called Carlos. His appearance and name are different, so it must not be Carlos.

Certainly not...!

Ji Ling walked side by side with the man. Because he was nervous, he didn't notice that he was on the same arm. No wonder he was too cowardly. When a villain like Carlos came to this world, wouldn't he want to rule the world again? After all, he really looks like the villain in the movie.

After finally returning to the bedroom, Ji Ling was too nervous to see the ground, and accidentally slapped his foot, screamed and rushed forward, only to crash into the man's arms, and then a pair of strong arms wrapped around him. From his waist, the low voice of concern and worry came from the man's ear: "Be careful..."

Ji Ling's face flushed, and he raised his head nervously and flustered. As a result, following the man's arm, he unexpectedly saw the man standing at the door of the dormitory, and couldn't help but startled, "Mr. Fu?"

It's terrible, why is Mr. Fu here!

Jing Sui reclined under the tree at the door of the bedroom and looked coldly ahead. He had been waiting here for a long time, just because he wanted to see the young man, even though he knew that the other party didn't love him, he still came here ridiculously.

Then he saw the boy and Carlos coming together.

He remembered the other forces he noticed when he was investigating the novel's author not long ago, and a cold look appeared in Jing Sui's eyes, so...you won't give up when you come to this world, will you?

It's not surprising at all.

How are you going to deceive him this time?

Jing Sui raised the corners of his lips playfully, his voice was chilly in the night, his tone was slow and sarcastic: "Mr. Carlos Field, I thought you had already returned to China."

Ji Ling stared blankly at Jing Sui, his fingers tightened suddenly, his whole body froze, he suspected that he heard it wrong.

Card, Carlos...

How could it be, isn't his name Field?

A man named Carlos who looks a lot like Carlos...

Ji Ling's pupils shrunk slightly because of the panic, and he looked up at the man in front of him, his lips trembling - a certain answer that he had been reluctant to think about, almost came out like this: "You, you..."
