Not long after Lu Xiaoyuan returned to his room, he received a message from Yu Jing. The other party specially selected a series of alternatives and asked him where he wanted to go.

Most of them seem to be the activities of rich people. Things like golf, horseback riding, and even themed financial seminars.

The first few are fine, the last one is really not going to work!

Lu Xiaoyuan stared at the word seminar for a long time.

He has been to this kind of meeting, and it is not much different from a reception. The only difference is that there will be a podium. The speaker goes to the top to give a speech and learn and communicate together.

And only played golf when was socializing with elder brother. It's just that he is really not very good at it, he can't even touch the ball with the club, and he swings the handle empty.

There is no option for climbing.

Lu Xiaoyuan was cautious, and sent a message, asking if he could go climbing.

Called directly from the other side. "Do you want to go hiking?"

Lu Xiaoyuan found out that Yu Jing didn't like to send messages when he could solve things by phone. This put him under a bit of pressure, and he said, "Recently, the Maple Leaf seems to be very beautiful."

The other side was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see." "Then can I go later?"

The final time was set in the evening, around four or five o'clock.

At this time, the sun is just about to set, and the afterglow falling on the maple leaves should also be beautiful. Although he didn't understand why the other party chose this point, he nodded without asking further questions.

the next day.

Lu Xiaoyuan got up very early.

Although he only went out in the afternoon, he was very excited and woke up early. Prepare the clothes to wear when climbing the mountain, and prepare the snacks in the backpack. After working for half a day, only an hour has passed.

The eldest brother went to the company first, and only asked him the location and time before leaving. He frowned when he heard that he was leaving in the evening: "It's so late."

Lu Xiaoyuan scratched his head, "Maybe he has something to do during the day."

The elder brother didn't know what he was thinking, so he looked at him silently for a while.

Lu Xiaoyuan was at a loss, looked at himself, then at his elder brother. After a while, I finally heard the other party say: "Keep in touch."

Lu Xiaoyuan hurriedly said, "I brought a power bank."

Seeing his elder brother go out, Lu Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the other party finally felt relieved of him.

Not long after Lu Ling arrived at the company.

Assistant Wu brought the itinerary and was about to confirm it. Before I could speak, I heard my boss say, "You don't have to go to work today."

Assistant Wu was taken aback, thinking that he had made a mistake.

"Go back and catch up on sleep."

Lu Ling was expressionless.

"Go somewhere tonight."

Considering that it might be all night tonight. After Lu Xiaoyuan had breakfast, he went back to bed, thinking about sleeping for a while.

However, he didn't feel tired after closing his eyes for a long time, so he opened them again.

After staring at the ceiling for a while, took the mobile phone charged by the bedside, looking for some videos to help me sleep.

As soon as opened the homepage of the APP, a video appeared on the phone.

[Looking back as if startled, the eternal youth in my heart]

This appears to be an edited clip of an artist's film. P master technology is very good, and different films are spliced ​​together without any violation.

The color is dark and very textured. Accompanied by a lyrical female voice, the portraits of the handsome teenagers passed by one after another.

Lu Xiaoyuan saw God unconsciously. When he reacted, the video had finished playing, and he jumped back to the beginning.

In the prologue, the young man in national costume stands on the top of the mountain, with bright green earrings on his ears. Long black hair reaching to the waist, blown by the wind.

Turning back sideways, dark red graffiti was painted on his face, but he still did not hide his handsome features. Especially those peach blossom eyes, even though they are young, they are already faintly seductive.

In the next second, his eyes narrowed slightly.

With this as a starting point, the video officially reached its climax.

Lu Xiaoyuan always felt that his face looked familiar, so he looked at it several times. Open the comment area, a series of confessions and asking for names.

[Woooooooo so handsome, who is this little actor?]

[Reply: It's called Yu Yichen. But he left the circle early, and he probably has grown up now. It's better not to bother, just appreciate the beauty of the past]

[Please push the show, I must watch it all! 】

... Yu Yichen.

...Yu Yichen

Also dust.

Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of something. Watching the video again, feel that the face looks more and more similar.

Although the face is still immature and has been styled, it is quite different from today's temperament. But no matter how you look at it, it looks like a miniature version of Yu Jing.

No wonder the two girls went to ask for autographs that day, they looked so alike.

As soon as the association occurred, Lu Xiaoyuan could never go back.

I opened the comment area to search for the drama, and watched it without knowing it. Episode after episode.

When he came back to his senses, the sky outside had already darkened. The sky was gloomy, with thick clouds lingering in the sky.

Wait, what time is it now!?

Lu Xiaoyuan panicked and rolled out of bed. Put on your coat and see that the time is approaching four o'clock.

so far so good.

We meet at five o'clock, so it should be too late to rush there now.

As soon as the nanny came out of the kitchen, she saw the young master running out with a bag on his back. "Master Xiaoyuan, are you having dinner today?"

"Don't eat——"

When hearing this sentence, people have already run away without a trace.

Arrived near Qingchi Mountain.

Lu Xiaoyuan got out of the car and looked around to see where the person was.

They agreed to meet at the parking lot, but they didn't see anyone after looking around for a long time.

Just as he was hesitating whether to call or not, a male voice came from the right rear.

"Lu Dong."

Lu Xiaoyuan turned around and saw that it was Yu Jing. The other party was still polite, "You are here."

Lu Xiaoyuan blushed, "No, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Yu Jing smiled, "It's okay, I just arrived too."

It's getting late, and now there are people going down the mountain.

They went against the flow of people, and Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly had the illusion of being abandoned by the torrent of the times.

Looking at Yu Jing again, the other party was walking a few steps ahead, turning around to confirm his position from time to time.

Because it was mountain climbing, it was the first time he saw Yu Jing wearing private clothes.

Wearing a jacket on the upper body and a peaked cap on the head. The brim of the hat was lowered, and the collar of the jacket almost covered the lower half of his face.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoyuan couldn't see Yu Jing's expression clearly.

The two walked up the mountain in silence, and there were fewer and fewer people on the side of the road.

The maple leaves are indeed beautiful in the afterglow, and a large area looks like a burning flame.

Lu Xiaoyuan was attracted by the sight, but he didn't feel embarrassed by the silence, and watched as he walked.

And whenever he stopped, Yu Jing would always stop and wait for him.

Soon Lu Xiaoyuan noticed that Yu Jing didn't seem to have much interest in Maple Leaf. When waiting for him, he only glanced at it, and then his eyes fell to the side.

"Sorry," Lu Xiaoyuan hurriedly followed, "I won't read it, let's go up."

Yu Jing glanced at his watch.

"There are still ten hours before dawn, and it takes an average of 7.5 hours to climb Qingchi Mountain." "There is more than enough time, you don't mind me."

Having said that, Lu Xiaoyuan always cared about others, so he just shook his head.

Yu Jing didn't force anymore, "Understood, then let's go up."

The two headed up the mountain again.

Walked for about three hours.

The mountain peaks that are open to the outside world now have artificially built mountain paths, basically climbing stairs.

Lu Xiaoyuan was brisk at first. But as the mountain gets higher and higher and the number of steps becomes denser, every step is very difficult. It was as if a heavy stone was tied to the feet, and it was almost impossible to lift them up.

It was still bright before, so at least could look at the scenery and get distracted.

Now the surroundings are pitch black, only the shadows of fangs and claws are left, and nothing can be seen.

Although there are street lights hanging on every section of the road, the light and shadow are still blurred, and you even have to use your mobile phone to play the flashlight.

Lu Xiaoyuan carried a bag on his shoulder. only felt that what was pressing on shoulders was not the shoulder straps, but the heavy chains. Hold him firmly and don't let him move forward.

What's in it.

Lu Xiaoyuan tried his best to remember.

Just some snacks, water, and a power bank. Why are these things so heavy?

The people in front walked at an even pace. Looking at the back, can't see the slightest fatigue.

Lu Xiaoyuan wanted to follow, but couldn't keep up, so he felt a little dizzy. He stopped for a while, holding his hands on the stone wall beside him to breathe.

The stone wall was hard and cold, and the coolness came through the palm of his hand, Lu Xiaoyuan finally became more awake.

The time distance must have widened by now.

Lu Xiaoyuan gritted his teeth and raised his foot again.

There is nothing underfoot.

He didn't pay attention to stepping on the steps, and his upper body leaned back, and the shadow of the tree with its teeth and claws came into view.

Now can no longer see the beautiful colors in the evening, just like ghosts.

It happened so suddenly that Lu Xiaoyuan didn't even have time to panic, he only felt that the scenery in front of him was getting farther and farther away.

"Lu Dong"!

A slightly impatient male voice came from beside my ear. In the next second, his shoulders tightened, and his body stopped in mid-air.

Lu Xiaoyuan blinked.

Someone grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, and he was turning back quickly.

Yu Jing stood a few steps above him, with a rare unsteady expression on his face.

"Are you OK."

Lu Xiaoyuan realized later that a cold sweat broke out on his back. Yu Jing didn't even realize that he didn't use honorifics.

"I don't usually exercise much, so why would you invite me to climb the mountain?"

With a light shoulder, the heavy chain was pulled away, and it became much lighter immediately. Yu Jing took his backpack and walked down a few steps: "I'll go behind, you go forward."

Lu Xiaoyuan turned around, not knowing whether to thank or apologize. If Yu Jing hadn't caught him in time, he would have fallen straight down.

Yu Jing threw the backpack over his shoulder, seeing the person in front of him staring at him without saying a word, he couldn't help but pause.

He just now... His tone of voice didn't seem quite right.

He didn't know if the other party had noticed, and after a few seconds of silence, he smiled again with a gentle tone. "Go up here and you will reach the platform, let's go there to rest first."

Hearing that he could rest, Lu Xiaoyuan regained some strength for a while, and moved forward with renewed energy.

A few minutes later, the two came to the platform.

This is a rest place specially set up in the scenic area, with pavilions and stone piers. There are no trees around. Looking around, you can see the beautiful scenery below the mountain, as well as the long road that you have climbed all the way.

It's a pity that it's night and Lu Xiaoyuan can't see anything. Although, he couldn't take this into consideration.

He was so exhausted that he sat down on the stone pier with his head drooping. The brain is empty, and the whole person seems to have lost his soul.

At this time, a bottle of water was handed in front of him. Lu Xiaoyuan raised his head and saw that it was Yu Jing who handed it over.

"Thank you, thank you." He thanked and took it.

Yu Jing sat down on Shidun next to him, pulled off his collar, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank water.

Lu Xiaoyuan watched from the side, and waited until the person finished drinking before saying, "Thank you just now. I didn't pay attention..."

Yu Jing put down the water bottle. At this time, more than half of it was gone. "You're welcome, you're fine."

Still polite, he raised his hand to confirm the time.

"It's halfway through now, you can slow down a little bit. Let's rest for half an hour before leaving, Director Lu."

"……it is good."

After answering this sentence, Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated to speak.

Yu Jing

Lu Xiaoyuan plucked up his courage: "Actually...you don't need to call me Director Lu."

Although during the working period, the partners and staff all called each other Director Lu and Xiao Yuandong. But now it is private time after all, and he is not used to being called the chairman.

"Look, we're not at work now," Lu Xiaoyuan blushed a little, and explained, "We're about the same age, so you can call me by my name."

Yu Jing "...name"

Lu Xiaoyuan nodded, "My family and friends of my family all call me Xiaoyuan directly."

Yu Jing didn't reply immediately, but just looked at him without saying a word.

Lu Xiaoyuan panicked from being stared at, wondering if he was being too abrupt. Until I heard a slightly hesitant address "Xiaoyuan..."

Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly became nervous.

"...Dong."

In the end, the word Dong was still followed.

"Sorry," Yu Jing smiled apologetically, "After all, the scale of your group is much bigger, so it's not good for others to hear about it."

This is probably the vigilance of a business person. Lu Xiaoyuan was a little disappointed, but he couldn't force it.

"However, you can call me by my name directly." Yu Jing joked, "Do you still remember my name after that?"

Lu Xiaoyuan naturally remembered.

But suddenly he was asked to call out, and after holding it in for a long time, he still didn't have the nerve to say it.

Seeing this, Yu Jing changed the subject, "Do you want to eat something?"

Lu Xiaoyuan remembered that he specially prepared snacks. He remembered that Yu Jing didn't like sweets, so he prepared Hei Qiao.

"This is for you." He took it out of his backpack and handed it over.

The other party thanked him and took it, probably not hungry, did not eat, just put it in his pocket.

The night wind blows, taking away the fatigue on the body. The leaves swayed and rustled.

Lu Xiaoyuan ate something to replenish his strength.

Half an hour later, he felt that he had almost rested, patted his legs, and got up to move forward.

He still remembered to report to his elder brother about his safety, so he took a photo and sent a message. And in order to avoid the accident just now, this time Yu Jing has been following behind, moving forward at his pace.

As a result, half of the way up the mountain took three hours, and the remaining half took more than five hours.

Lu Xiaoyuan stopped and walked, and when he reached the top of the mountain, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

It was still very dark. Because they set off early, even if the second half of the journey was delayed for a long time, they caught up before the sun rose. Even more than enough.

Lu Xiaoyuan chose a good location and sat down where he was. The next step is to wait.

But if he didn't do anything, he was afraid that he would fall asleep after a while. After sitting with her knees hugged for a while, she couldn't help but began to yawn.

Looking at the dark ridge in the distance, Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered something and took out his cell phone from his pocket. "By the way, today I... saw a person who is very similar to you."

Hearing this, Yu Jing turned his head to look. "Like me"

Lu Xiaoyuan nodded repeatedly.

If it wasn't for the different names, he would almost have thought that the other party was Yu Jing when he was a child.

He handed over the saved video.

That was the first video he accidentally saw today.

[Looking back and looking back, the eternal youth in my heart]

The title is exaggerated, but the content feels worthy of the name. Even this simple line of words is not enough to express the amazingness brought by the teenager in the video.

Yu Jing looked at the playing screen without any change in expression.

Lu Xiaoyuan didn't pay attention at all, and leaned aside and said: "I also watched the drama. He didn't have many roles, but he acted very well. It's a pity that he quit the entertainment industry..."

The music stopped abruptly.

Seeing Yu Jing turn off the video, Lu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but stop talking.

The other party's eyes were still hanging down, falling on the extinguished screen. After a while, hand the phone back.

For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Lu Xiaoyuan was at a loss when he heard the question.

"Why show me this."

Lu Xiaoyuan: Huh?

"do not you know."

Yu Jing looked at the ground, his tone could not hear any emotion.

"You approached me, not because you recognized me?"

Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback, recognized, recognized

"Isn't it?" Yu Jing frowned slightly, "I didn't admit it that day because I didn't want to be Yu Yichen anymore, don't you understand?"

Lu Xiaoyuan didn't understand at all.

And it wasn't until then that he realized that the boy named Yu Yichen in this video seemed to be Yu Jing.

Before he took over the company, he basically paid no attention to the entertainment industry. I don't even know a few hot stars, let alone child stars from many years ago.

And speaking of proximity.

He's really... more active lately than before. Because he hopes to become friends with Yu Jing.

In the end, in the eyes of the other party, is he just a fan with ulterior motives?

Lu Xiaoyuan was a little disappointed, but he still tried to explain: "No... I really don't know." "Just, I just want to share with you, because it feels a bit rare to meet a celebrity..."

"Rare" Yu Jing's eyes were covered with haze. "What's so rare about being a star?"

"A rotten circle."

As if remembering the past, he twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Even if you are a minor, as long as you are good-looking, you can do it unscrupulously."

"Because there are so many disgusting people with one face. They are still entangled after quitting the circle. One or two are like flies."

Lu Xiaoyuan: Huh?

and many more

However, the other party did not intend to wait. His eyes fell on the muddy stone road, and his speech became faster and faster.

"In the end, when I started a company, I still had to deal with these people. Fat-headed and big-eared, relying on the family's background, they are all fools."

"A meeting can be procrastinated for a day, and the progress can be rushed for ten days and a half months without feedback! It's hard to get rid of these people, now

The voice suddenly froze.

Then, as if suddenly returning to his senses, he raised his head and looked in front of him.

Lu Xiaoyuan stood where he was, completely petrified.

Yu Jing...

Lu Xiaoyuan: ...

Yu Jing...

Lu Xiaoyuan: ...

A wind blew past, rustling the trees. The dead leaves fluttered, dangling and falling to the ground.

Yu Jing restrained his expression, smiled softly and said, "I was just joking just now."

Lu Xiaoyuan: =口=

No, no, no matter how you put it, this explanation is too far-fetched!

Yu Jing, "Maybe the rumors are a bit loud, so you heard some swear words..."

Hey, it was only after you finished swearing!

The two stared at each other silently for a moment.

Yu Jing: "Forget it."

Forget it.

The opponent's personality contrast was too great for a while, and Lu Xiaoyuan didn't know how to react.

The Yu Jing he thought was a self-made tycoon.

High emotional intelligence, no matter what you face, you can deal with it calmly. He is polite and always has a smile on his face. As a result, Yu Jing now has a lot of annoying things, swearing, and even mistakenly thinks that he is a fan.

So far, Lu Xiaoyuan was still lost because of being misunderstood. But now, it suddenly felt like nothing mattered.

It seemed that Yu Jing didn't intend to pretend to be in front of him at all. He leaned back with his knees wide open, and adjusted into a very comfortable sitting position, completely losing the temperament of a handsome nobleman in the past.

Lu Xiaoyuan hugged his knees silently, mourning for the disillusioned "ideal self".

"I'm sorry, Director Lu, I've let you down."

At this time, he heard the man next to him speak.

"My original personality was like this, and I pretended to be my normal appearance. In business, that kind of persona is more easy to mix."

Lu Xiaoyuan paused and looked to his side.

Yu Jing didn't look at him, the shadow of the brim of the hat covered his face, only the tear moles at the end of his eyes could be seen.

It's clearly the same face, but just because of the change of temperament, it's like a different person. The usually gentle eyebrows and eyes also showed a bit of sharpness.

"If you think it's appropriate, I will withdraw from this project. Originally, Xinhao got this opportunity because of you."

Is it because of him?

Lu Xiaoyuan thought about it, and thought it shouldn't be.

After all, Mr. Meng had praised Yu Jing in front of him. If it weren't for Yu Jing's performance and attitude in the past, he would definitely not be able to catch Mr. Meng's eyes.

At best, he can be regarded as an opportunity.

"Grandpa Meng... praised you." Lu Xiaoyuan opened his mouth with his chin resting on his knee, "So I think you won this opportunity yourself."

"And you are very capable. If I was the only one on this business trip, it might be messed up."

Hearing this, Yu Jing turned his head and looked over.

The two looked at each other.

As soon as Lu Xiaoyuan met people's eyes, he panicked and moved his eyes down.

"In addition, you can always pretend to be a person with different personalities, which is amazing. I can't help it even if I want to, so..." That, so.

"I don't think it's a bad idea. It would be nice if you could stay..."

After the words fell, the air was still.

The wind blew again, only to hear the leaves rustling.

Hearing no response, Lu Xiaoyuan thought he had said something wrong, and felt a little embarrassed.

"……you are weird."

Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback.

Yu Jing's tone was not as tense as before, "Normal people would have shied away a long time ago, but you still praised me for being amazing."

Lu Xiaoyuan scratched his head, "Maybe I'm just a little weird."

Even with a disguise, Yu Jing is Yu Jing. The achievements so far and the abilities shown are not fake.

What's more, if you think about it carefully, although the other party uttered a lot of foul language just now, the words between the lines are all about the bad things he experienced when he was young.

Since he took over the company, he has been protected by his family and has not been involved in the dark side of the entertainment industry too much. But Yu Jing was always alone.

What he has experienced must be more than him.

"..."

Yu Jing pursed his lips slightly, wanting to say something. At this time, a warm light came from the corner of the eye. He didn't feel blind.

"Ah, the sun is out"

The attention of the person opposite was quickly attracted, and he stood up.

The radiant light slowly rises from the horizon. With warmth and warmth, it dyes the sky into a large area of ​​red. As a result, the people around him seemed to be covered with orange light.

Her black hair was blown up by the wind, revealing her delicate face. Clothes are fluttering, as if the light is not coming from the front, but gushing from his body.

Even the pupils turned crimson, extremely eye-catching.

Yu Jing couldn't help but freeze.

He could clearly see the sunrise when he turned his head, but he didn't take his eyes off, just staring at the people beside him. The hand raised up in a mysterious way, and stretched to the side.

———Fall empty.

The person beside him seemed to want to get closer to the sun, and he raised his feet and ran forward. Yu Jing clasped his fingers slightly, lowered his hand, and looked towards Risheng again.

The sun came out completely, and soon rose to mid-air, not as dazzling as it was at the beginning. The huge sun wheel hangs in the sky like a fire.

The man was finally satisfied, turned his head to look at him, with a bright smile on his face: "It's so beautiful." Because of the excitement, it seemed that even his cheeks were dyed red.

Yu Jing "..."

Indeed, very beautiful.
