frank?

Lin Heyin was nervous about the word "confession" for a moment.

Xu Jianian's eyes flickered slightly, he lowered his head, rubbed the box nervously, and said, "This matter may be a bit difficult to accept, but I hope you can believe me."

"I believe it." Lin He said almost without hesitation, "I believe you."

Xu Jianian was slightly stunned, and looked up at him. Because of his trust, he gained courage, took a deep breath and said, "My name is Xu Jianian, and I just passed my twenty-fifth birthday."

Lin He was taken aback, twenty-five years old?

"More than two months ago, I accidentally traveled to this world and became the current Xu Jianian."

Lin He's pupils trembled, and he looked at him in surprise.

Xu Jianian said: "I've never been a fan of Zhou Kai, but I'm not the young master of the Xu family who was supposed to marry you."

Lin He frowned slowly.

"Although I have the same name and surname as him, looks, birthdays, and even lactose intolerance, even my parents... are very similar to his parents. I also have a younger sister named Xu Jiayuan." Xu JianianAs he spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse.

"But I'm not as lucky as Xu Jianian in this world. My parents and sister died in a car accident when I was fifteen."

Since then, he has been alone, facing relatives who are eyeing his parents' inheritance and shareholders who want to monopolize the company founded by his parents.

He grew up overnight at the age of fifteen, gave up his favorite and extremely talented painting, suppressed the corners of his lips that were naturally smiling, hidden his innocent smile, pretended to be mature with a cold face, and learned to be a man who could carryAn adult who starts a family.

In the end, he succeeded. When he was twenty-three years old, he "suppressed" all the "wolves, tigers and leopards" in the house, and took back what should have belonged to his parents and him.

He spent nearly two years managing the company flourishingly, and even made a will for himself in advance to avoid accidents. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to travel here.

"Maybe it was because I was too lonely in the past, and I didn't have much nostalgia for the original world." Xu Jianian squeezed out a smile, "After becoming the current Xu Jianian, I feel very happy, so happy... There is always an unreal feelingFeel."

Lin He was silent and did not speak, Xu Jianian looked at him, slowly lowering his reddish eyes.

Xu Jianian: "I'm sorry to take up this identity to meet you—"

Lin He: "We met for the first time—"

The two spoke at the same time, but they said the same thing.

Lin He immediately confirmed that his feeling was correct, and said firmly, "It was you who met me for the first time, right?"

Xu Jianian was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the other party to accept the matter of "time travel" so easily, "Yeah."

Lin He nodded, recalling the scene when the two met for the first time, and keenly grasped the point, "So that Xu Jianian had a car accident?"

Xu Jianian: "Yes."

"Didn't it mean it wasn't serious at the time?" Lin He had asked Xu's parents and Xu's mother about Xu Jianian's car accident before, worrying that he would leave sequelae or the root cause of the disease.

Xu Jianian thought that he still cared more about the original young master of the Xu family, lowered his head and said hoarsely: "I don't know... It's strange to travel through this kind of thing."

Lin He nodded slightly, it was indeed something that could not be explained by science.

"What about you?" he asked. "How did you get here?"

He looked at Xu Jianian with obvious worry in his eyes: "Is it also a car accident?"

Xu Jianian shook his head: "I just fell asleep and woke up here."

In fact, he passed out from overwork, and he felt that he probably passed through after a sudden death.But he didn't want to tell Lin He to worry...if the other party still worried about him now.

"Then..." Lin He rarely hesitated, "Will he come back?"

Sure enough, still care more about Xu Jianian from before...

Xu Jianian lowered his head and said in frustration, "I don't know."

"Then will you go back?" Lin He asked in a slightly eager tone.

Xu Jianian was slightly stunned, his eyes even redder, "I don't know, I have no way to return him to you, if you mind—"

"You were the one I fell in love with at first sight." Lin He gently held his hand and said seriously, "It's you who gradually fell in love with him."

"It may be disrespectful to say so, but it is indeed not the Xu Jianian who has never met."

Xu Jianian choked up: "Really?"

Lin He: "Yes."

Xu Jianian took a deep breath to hold back his tears, opened his arms and hugged him, proudly said: "I knew it."

You must like me.

Lin He hugged him and curled his lips: "Yes."

Xu Jianian hugged him tightly, and his uneasy heart finally calmed down.

"Why did you believe it so easily?" After hugging him for a while, Xu Jianian leaned on his shoulder and said, "I thought you would think I was talking nonsense."

Lin He: "Then why did you deliberately confess to me?" If Jianian didn't say anything, he wouldn't even find out.

"Because you're always jealous," Xu Jianian looked up at him and said angrily, "I've never had a crush on Zhou Kai."

Lin He laughed: "So you see, even if you are making up nonsense, it is to separate yourself from Zhou Kai, and to make me not jealous."

"In the end, it's for me, for us, so of course I have to trust you."

Xu Jianian raised the corners of his lips: "I'm not lying, I only liked you and never had a crush on Zhou Kai."

"I believe." Lin He held his face lightly, "Although I don't know what kind of person the young master of the Xu family is, I'm very grateful to him for letting you come here."

The smile on Xu Jianian's face faded, and he said in a muffled voice, "He's actually pretty good, but he's a little too innocent, a little... in love."

Lin He nodded slightly. He hadn't heard people in the circle say that the young master of the Xu family was bad before. The elders seemed to praise him for being excellent and sensible, but he was indeed a little too naive when it came to chasing stars.

Xu Jianian opened the cardboard box on the table and took out a faded middle school uniform from it.

"Zhou Kai helped him when he was a child, and he remembered it for a long time. Later, he recognized him on a talent show and thought he was handsome and cool, so he became his fan."

Lin He looked at Zhou Kai's name tag stuck to the chest of the school uniform and was slightly surprised: "No wonder..."

Xu Jianian: "He has a filter for Zhou Kai, thinking that the other party is still the kind-hearted big brother who helped him up from the rain and comforted him patiently, so he never doubted whether Zhou Kai had ulterior motives and showed his heart to him like a debt of gratitude.Take out your lungs."

Lin He frowned slightly: "Did he mention anything about his childhood to Zhou Kai?"

Other guests in the show asked how Zhou Kai and "Xu Jianian" met. Zhou Kai didn't seem to know that they still had this relationship.

Xu Jianian shook his head: "Maybe it's because I'm embarrassed to let Zhou Kai know that I'm the crying kid back then."

"And having said that, he might feel that he should return this school uniform to its original owner, and he might be a bit reluctant."

If they really got together, the original owner might find a chance to tell Zhou Kai.

Xu Jianian put the school uniform back into the box and said, "Except for the love brain, some aspects of his personality are quite similar to when I was fifteen or sixteen years old."

Innocent, full of energy, and very focused on what he likes; although he has a little temper, he is not spoiled; he believes that human nature is good and the world is always beautiful, so he treats people sincerely and never doubts whether the other party has purpose or malice.

Lin He looked at him distressedly. After the age of fifteen or sixteen, he didn't look like him anymore. Is it because he lost his family and had to be alone?

Xu Jianian looked at him: "I'm actually very grateful to him, so sometimes I don't know how to face the Xu family."

He lowered his eyes, his nose slightly sour: "I'm afraid that they will be sad when they know the truth, and I'm even more afraid that they think I'm not their child..." So I don't want to.

He really likes this home and wants these relatives very much.

"Then don't tell them." Lin He held his face in his hands, and gently wiped the corners of his reddish eyes, "It's a good way for everyone to be their child."

Xu Jianian: "What if they find out?"

Lin He said softly: "Haven't you always acted well? Even if they find out later, you still have me and Suisui, and our little family."

Xu Jianian sniffed, put his palm against the back of his hand, and said in a nasal voice, "You are getting better at talking about love, Mr. Lin."

Lin He raised the corners of his lips and kissed the tip of his nose, "I learned from you, Mr. Xiao."

The two returned to Xu Jianian's room, lying on the bed and talking a lot.

Xu Jianian told him about his parents, about his lovely sister, about how good he was at painting before, and that the teacher had high hopes for him, and he originally wanted to study abroad.

After speaking, his voice gradually lowered, and he fell asleep in Lin He's arms.

Lin He silently hugged the person in his arms tightly, and digested the information he got today by himself.

As an adult who has received a modern education, his first reaction was to wonder if Xu Jianian was suffering from some kind of illness, resulting in memory disturbances. After all, such a thing as time travel is really inconceivable.

But... the experiences Xu Jianian mentioned are so detailed and profound, with clear logic, they are not at all like the disordered memories derived from lesions.

Moreover, he would rather believe that Xu Jianian came from another world than that he was sick.

It's just...if the soul of the person in the embrace really comes from another world, what should he do...to keep him?

Xu Jianian had a good dream. He dreamed that his parents and younger sister celebrated his birthday, congratulated him on finding a lover, and told him that the Xu family was them in the parallel world and would replace them as his family.

The younger sister raised her head and said to him, "Brother, let me be your older sister this time, and I will protect you."

"Hmm." Xu Jianian's eyes were red in his dream, and he said goodbye to them with a smile.

He also dreamed of the original owner, the boy with a sweet smile.

"I have already started a new life with my family, and I will leave this world to you." The original owner said to him, "Be good to our parents and sister."

Xu Jianian choked up: "Thank you, I will."

"And that school uniform, please return it to Zhou Kai for me, and thank you for me. I don't need it anymore."

Xu Jianian smiled: "Okay."

Xu Jianian watched him walk away waving his hands. On the edge of the dream, Xu's parents, Xu's mother and Xu Jiayuan were waiting for him, and there was a young man beside him, holding out his hand to hold him.

Xu Jianian curled the corners of his lips and fell asleep with this sweet dream on his pillow.

When he woke up, he was still a little dazed. Thinking back to that dream, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and when he looked up, he saw Lin He staring at him without blinking.

"What's wrong?" he asked in surprise.

Lin He Fangruo breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged him into his arms, "It's okay, I'm just worried that when you wake up... you'll go back."

Xu Jianian hugged his waist: "No, I had a very good dream."

Lin He was slightly surprised, after he finished narrating the dream, he was silent for a moment before asking: "Uncle and aunt... are you satisfied with me?"

Xu Jianian laughed: "Satisfied, very satisfied."

Lin He laughed, and the restless heart that had been restless all night finally came to fruition.

A day later, Zhou Kai received a notice and went to the agency to discuss next year's itinerary.

"Hurry up." The agent waited for him at the door, and hurriedly said, "President Liu is talking to you in person today. It is related to your resources for next year. We have to wait for him in the conference room in advance."

Zhou Kai wore sunglasses and kept silent, but his pace quickened a bit.

"Mr. Zhou."

A middle-aged man came over from the lobby waiting area and called Zhou Kai to stop.

"Are you?" The agent looked at him. Those who could be let in by the security must have registered their identities, and they were not like fans, so they might have serious business.

The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "I'm Mr. Lin's driver."

Zhou Kai was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Lin He?"

The manager was worried that Zhou Kai would say something inappropriate, so he quickly forced a smile: "I don't know what business Mr. Lin is looking for from our family, Zhou Kai?"

The middle-aged man handed over the handbag, "I was entrusted by Mr. Lin's lover, Master Jianian, to return something."

Zhou Kai frowned even tighter, and his agent took the bag for him, "This is... a school uniform?"

The middle-aged man said to Zhou Kai: "Boss Lin and Young Master Jia Nian asked me to convey my thanks to you for your help to Young Master Jia Nian many years ago. It is repayment for the kindness Master Jia Nian has treated you these years. Mr. Lin hopes thatRespect yourself, don't bother Young Master Jia Nian again from now on."

Zhou Kai pulled off the school uniform and saw his own name tag, and vague memories flooded into his mind.

I don't remember whether it was a rainy day in the second or third year of junior high school. He put his school uniform on his head and ran home in the rain. He met a child who fell into a puddle by the side of the road.

The child was about six or seven years old, wearing the school uniform of the affiliated elementary school next door, fell heavily in front of him, threw his schoolbag out, and lay on the ground crying.

He stepped forward to help him up, and carried him to the door of the nearest store to shelter from the rain, "Don't cry, where are your parents? Didn't they come to pick you up after school?"

The child's hair was all wet, sticking to his white and tender face, sobbing and saying that the driver's uncle hadn't come yet.

He thought to himself that he was still a young master, so cute, and he was not afraid of being abducted, so he asked him, "Do you remember the phone number of the driver or your parents?"

The child nodded and announced a series of numbers.At that time, the school did not allow him to bring his mobile phone, so he asked the owner of the store to make a call and tell the parents where the child was.

When I turned around, I saw the child shivering because of the wet clothes, his lips were white, and he looked like he was about to cry, so he put his school uniform on him.

The child still thought the school uniform was wet, so angrily, he pinched his face and said, "It would be nice to put it on for you."

He hurried home, so he asked the store owner to watch the child, and ran into the rain by himself.

A child's voice came from behind: "Brother! Your clothes..."

Zhou Kai remembered that when he turned his head and waved his hands, the child's clear eyes gradually overlapped with Xu Jianian's...

He suddenly came back to his senses, Lin He's driver had already turned and left.

He clutched the school uniform in his hand, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were flushed.

No wonder...

No wonder Xu Jianian always treats him well, regardless of his obvious demands and use. It turned out that it was just a little effort when he was a child, and the other party remembered it for so long, and treated him ten times and a hundred times better.

But he used it again and again to wear off the other party's favor. The other party must think that the brother he met when he was a child has failed at school and has become a very bad adult.

So I am completely disappointed with him and hope that we will stop disturbing each other.

"Zhou Kai?" The manager watched a teardrop fall from his face, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Zhou Kai took off his sunglasses and quickly wiped his face, put on the sunglasses again, regained his expressionless expression, put his school uniform in his bag, and walked towards the elevator.

A week later, the thin and emaciated Zhou Kai was stuffed into the consulting room of a psychiatrist by his manager.

Zhou Kai huddled in the chair, thin and thin, with sunken cheeks, filled out the evaluation form like a walking dead, and answered a few questions absent-mindedly.

Seeing the psychiatrist take back the evaluation form, Zhou Kai suddenly asked hoarsely, "Am I really sick?"

The psychiatrist paused, many people would ask this question.

Zhou Kai: "Is it possible... I'm not sick, just a purely selfish bastard?"

The psychiatrist was slightly surprised, and guided him to communicate with himself softly, "Why do you think so?"

Zhou Kai was silent.

The psychiatrist changed the way of asking, "Does thinking this way make you feel... better?"

Zhou Kai was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No...but I shouldn't feel better either."

The psychiatrist said softly: "It's okay, you can try to talk to me, the role of a doctor is to help you feel better."

"...I can't feel better."

Zhou Kai lowered his eyes, and there was pain hidden in his hoarse voice, "I want to apologize to that person, I want to make amends, I want to ask for forgiveness, but he doesn't need it...and I found that I want to do it just to make myselfFeel better."

"I'm still so selfish, as if as long as he forgives me, I can convince myself that I haven't made any big mistakes. Or as long as I'm more selfish and ruthless, I can do nothing about him, and I won't be in pain."

Zhou Kai raised his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, but he still pulled out an ugly smile, "So you see, you can't help me."

"Because, regardless of whether I did something wrong because I was sick, the neglect and harm to him are irreparable."

"I don't deserve his forgiveness, and I can't care about him at all, so I don't deserve to feel better."

Zhou Kai gave himself a "diagnosis", got up and walked out of the consulting room.

The psychiatrist was stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a sober self-criticism.

"How is it, Dr. Li?" The manager opened the door and came in, "Is he in good condition?"

Dr. Li said: "Sorry, the contact time is too short, I can't give him a definite diagnosis, but..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, the agent said anxiously: "I am his partner, and I need to know his situation before I can help him."

Dr. Li said: "According to some of your previous descriptions and the evaluation just now, you have a high self-esteem, pay too much attention to your external image, pursue others' attention but ignore others' feelings, do not consider others, and often have inappropriate sexual temptations or sexual temptations when interacting with others.Provocative behavior is a prominent manifestation of histrionic personality disorder." [Note]

The manager was confused, "Personality...disorder?"

Dr. Li: "Not necessarily, his mood is much more stable and calm than this type of patients, and there are some performances that do not meet this type of problem, so the situation may be more complicated and further diagnosis is required. Try to persuade him to do it again."

Moreover, Dr. Li felt that the other party seemed to be letting himself be in an "uncomfortable" state.

People who are sober and suffering, the more they know how to make themselves feel better, the less they can feel better.

Perhaps pain is a means of self-comfort for him.

Xu Jianian didn't know if the original owner he saw in his dream was real, but after discussing with Lin He, he still decided to return the school uniform to Zhou Kai.

Lin He said to leave it to him, and Xu Jianian just didn't want to deal with Zhou Kai, so he agreed.

So he didn't know, Lin He told his driver that he must emphasize his self-respect, and don't bother them from now on.

However, even if Xu Jianian knew about it, he wouldn't mind, and would think that Lin He did a good job.

There was one thing that made him very curious, so he approached Xu Jiayuan quietly and asked, "Did Zhou Kai have any festivals with Lin He before? Why do you feel that he was targeting Lin He at the beginning of the show?"

Xu Jiayuan: "Didn't Lin He tell you?"

"Both of them were influential figures in the No. 1 Middle School at the time, a school student and a hip-hop champion. It's a bit like Shengyu and Shengliang." Xu Jiayuan said, "But it should be Zhou Kai who unilaterally regarded Lin He as his deadly enemy.Because Lin He, who I know well, doesn’t care much about these things.”

On the contrary, Zhou Kai is very concerned about his own image and cares about the evaluation of others.

"However, if you want to speak specifically, it may be because Zhou Kai's family went bankrupt, which made him resent Lin He." Xu Jiayuan said.

Xu Jianian: "Bankrupt?"
