After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away

    Seeing Gu Chen here, Ji Ning was very surprised, but when he heard that the other party recognized him, he was even more unbelievable, and said with excitement and surprise, "It's been a long time. No see, Senior Gu."

    "Just you?" Gu Chen glanced around and saw that no one was following behind Ji Ning, he smiled and said, "Why don't you come and sit with me?"

    "I came alone, but is it okay?" Ji Ning was flattered and asked uncertainly, "Will it disturb the senior?"

    Gu Chen nodded with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'm just filming nearby. After work, I come out to relax and sit here for a while. If it's convenient for you, we can chat."

    "Of course."

    Jining nodded vigorously, but her mood that was very depressed before was dissipated by the chance encounter with Gu Chen, and she didn't dare to let Gu Chen wait any longer. She hurriedly went to the front desk to order a cup of coffee and sat back. Chatting with Gu Chen while drinking.

    "How have you been in the past few years?" Gu Chen put down his sunglasses, sat relaxed, raised his slender legs, and looked very elegant when he raised his hands and feet, "You have grown a lot taller than before. , and it looks better.”

    "Thank you, senior, you too, are more handsome than before."

    Jining was a little embarrassed, he grew up late, when he was in junior high school, he was just a beanie, not tall, standing next to Gu Chen can be a little shorter: "I've been in the past few years I am doing well, I have been admitted to the university step by step, and I am in the second year of my sophomore year."

    "The school next door?"

    "Yes."

    "That's a famous school. It seems that your grades have been good." Gu Chen smiled, "Are you still acting?"

    "Acting is acting, but I don't often go on stage. I am the vice president of our school's drama club. I am mainly responsible for bringing new people and letting them act." Ning said.

    "You are very talented, and your appearance is good. If you develop in this area, it is a good choice." Gu Chen said, "Have you considered it?"

    Jining shook her head: "I never thought about it, acting is just my hobby, and my talent is not comparable to that of a senior, and I have no connections..."

    "If you want to come, I can introduce you." Gu Chen smiled, "Why don't we exchange contact information? You can send a message anytime you want to find me."

    "Okay." Although Ji Ning had no idea of ​​developing into the entertainment industry, he was very willing to exchange contact information with Gu Chen.

    He took out his mobile phone and unlocked the screen, but suddenly saw that there were several missed calls and unread text messages on the muted mobile phone, all from Ying Qianqiu and Qin Ruwang, asking him where he was, As for Huo Wuling, not a single message was sent to him.

    Thinking of Huo Wuling, Ji Ning felt sullen in his heart. Of course he wouldn't contact him, he just sent a message to the other two roommates, telling them that he was in a nearby store, I will go back a little later, go directly to the dormitory, and tell them not to wait for him.

    Jining and Gu Chen exchanged contact information. Along with the mobile phone, the pendant that was broken just now was brought out. Gu Chen put it in his pocket after returning it to him. , If you want to install it again, you have to take it for special repair later.

    "Your mobile phone pendant seems to be rare." Gu Chen glanced at the silver pendant and said with a smile, "It's also very beautiful."

    "Ah... yes, this one is specially made for me by my friend."

    Jining picked up the pendant that had been broken by the rope and put it in the palm of her hand, feeling a little down for a moment.

    This silver pendant looks like a chubby robot. It is a movie character he liked when he was a child. Jiang Che has always known that he likes this robot, so he gave him this customized one a few years ago. Ji Ning likes the pendant very much, so she has been using it until now.

    This time the rope broke and the pendant fell accidentally, but fortunately it was picked up. Thinking like this, Ji Ning put the robot pendant back in her pocket, and decided to put it away in the future and not carry it with her.

    "That friend of yours," Gu Chen quietly watched Ji Ning's movements at first, and then asked after he put away the pendant, "Is it Jiang Che?"

    Jining paused: "Senior remember his name?"

    "Remember, I still have an impression of him. You two were inseparable at the time, and it was hard not to notice him. How is he doing now?" Gu Chen asked.

    "He... is dead."

    Jining's voice was very low. He didn't know what was going on today, but he always thought of Jiang Che one after another, or mentioned Jiang Che, but after Jiang Che died, he was not very willing to mention the past.

    "Sorry." Gu Chen apologized, "I don't know the news."

    "It doesn't matter." Ji Ning shook her head and showed a faint smile at Gu Chen. He would not blame Gu Chen, and the other party didn't look like Huo Wuling, but he deliberately exposed the pain in his heart. , that's the only way to make him angry.

    "Your relationship must be very good...you still keep the gift he gave you."

      News of him appearing nearby, looking for him everywhere.

    "Let's get out of here first."

    He got up and smiled at Ji Ning: "Stay with me a little longer?"

    "Ah... well."

    Jining blinked a little suddenly, took the unfinished coffee and went out with Gu Chen, because there were many people at the door, so they specially asked the clerk to let them go out through the back door , but it was exchanged with Gu Chen's autograph.

    After leaving the store, the two quietly walked out of the commercial street and came to the relatively quiet riverside. At this time, it was already dark, it was still early spring, the weather was cold, and the street lights here were very There are few, so there are not many people, and it is not easy for passers-by to recognize Gu Chen.

    "Give."

    Gu Chen smiled and handed the other signature to Ji Ning. Ji Ning thanked him happily and put it away. The two strolled by the riverside for a while, but the temperature was indeed It was low, Ji Ning was still wearing less clothes, and the body that had just warmed up after drinking coffee started to get cold again.

    "It's cold?"

    Gu Chen noticed that Ji Ning's ears were red from the cold, so he took off his scarf and put it on Ji Ning's neck: "Will it be better?"

    "No no no, senior, how can I use your scarf..."

    The scarf smelled of light men's perfume, just like Gu Chen's good smell, which made Ji Ning's face flushed instantly, even thinking similar to his own. Out of my mind, I quickly took off the scarf.

    "It doesn't matter, I asked you to come out with me, I should apologize to you."

    Gu Chen watched Ji Ning gently, bowed his head slightly, and slowly tied the scarf with his own hands.

    His fingertips caressed Ji Ning's face and earlobes casually, with a force softer than the night wind blowing, but with a temperature that cannot be ignored, making Ji Ning's face Fever, suddenly a little afraid to meet those deep, dark eyes.

    Senior Gu really deserves to be a famous star, Ji Ning thought to himself, how could someone resist such a charm,

    "Okay." Gu Chen helped him tie the scarf, and then, as if he had remembered something, he took out his cell phone. His cell phone was always quiet because he also turned it on. mute state.

    At this time, he swept the message he received, and couldn't help showing a helpless smile, shook his head and said, "I should go back, otherwise my agent will definitely not spare me."

    "Ah, that scarf..."

    I heard what he said, Ji Ning was going to take off the scarf he just put on, but Gu Chen held his hand: "It's cold, you go back with it first, and then put it back on. give me."

    Jining was stunned, but before she could think of how to return it to Gu Chen, she heard him say: "I told you just now that I'm filming nearby, and the crew will be here. After a week or so, you can go to me, address me and text you later."

    "Will this not be good?" Ji Ning was still a little hesitant.

    "It's okay, I'll wait for you." Gu Chen raised his lips and stroked his hair, "Okay, you can go back too, it's too cold, be careful of catching a cold."

    "That's fine...Thank you, Senior Gu." Ji Ning was very embarrassed, and her face turned red when she talked to Gu Chen, "Senior, how are you going back?"

     "Someone will pick me up, I'll just wait here." Gu Chen smiled at him tenderly, "Go back to rest early, and contact me later."

    Jining nodded, thanked him again, and left with his signature. Gu Chen stood quietly in the dark, looking at his back, the smile on his face gradually faded, Thin lips stretched into a line, eyelashes drooped, and his expression was dark and unclear.

    Play again.

    He thought.

    In his life, he has played many roles, when he was filming, he lived as another person, he knew that they were all illusions, but at least he thought he was real, but he didn't Thinking, even his own identity is false.

    He is just a thought of a deceased person, all his experiences are just fictional stories, just like the characters he played, he is also a "fictional character", but it is There was no self-consciousness before that.

    Even now, he is still acting, he is acting in front of Ji Ning as "Gu Chen", acting has almost become his instinct, he plays it perfectly, but in front of Ji Ning Deep down, he knew that he was actually resisting faintly.

    He didn't like acting in front of Ji Ning, he hoped they could get along with each other truly.

    In the previous world, he was the object of Ji Ning's mission. In front of him, Ji Ning was acting as a arrogant and indifferent genius. Ning attracted, but he didn't see through his real side. It wasn't until a lot of strange things happened that he suddenly realized that he had been kept in the dark all the time.

    He also felt confused, lost and even painful, but then he finally realized that it was not only him, including all "him", they were like this, except for the future, only him hold all the truth.

    In order to get Ji Ning's love, all of them have entered this virtual world, pursuing Ji Ning in their own way, Gu Chen is also playing his new identity, he and Ji Ning His roles were reversed, and this time it was his turn to deceive Ji Ning in order to gain Ji Ning's favor.

    But Gu Chen didn't like it. He has played so many roles, life is fake, even himself is fake, only when facing Ji Ning, he hoped that he didn't have any pretense.

    Even if everything was an illusion, his feelings for Ji Ning were real.

    Perhaps it is precisely because of this, and because his character itself is relatively close to Jiang Che, in short, Gu Chen does not reject the identity of "Jiang Che" like other people .

    After possessing Jiang Che's memory, he saw the way Jiang Che and Ji Ning got along. In front of Ji Ning, Jiang Che would indeed hide his emotions, but he would never deceive Ji Ning, In front of Jiang Che, Ji Ning was always in the most real and relaxed state.

    He envied Jiang Che and the former "him".

    If he could...

    Gu Chen closed his eyes gently, the car that came to pick him up had arrived, he got in the car, lowered the window halfway, and looked at the campus under the lights and stars , slowly drove away and merged into the night.

    …

    Jining returned to the bedroom wrapped in cold air. When he pushed the door in, Qin Ruwang and Ying Qianqiu were sitting on the desk under the bed. When they saw him coming back, they all looked over. He smiled at them and chatted a few words with them. Qin Ruwang knew that he hadn't had dinner yet, so he packed his favorite dishes for him, which made Ji Ning very grateful.

    Jining put away the pendant and Gu Chen's signature, turned on the computer after a hurried dinner, and began to revise his paper.

    Yun Yuan looked at it very carefully, and really picked a lot of faults for him. The dense red markings made Ji Ning feel ashamed. The reference book, but not with him, was placed on the bed by him, and Ji Ning stepped on the ladder to get it.

    Seeing Ji Ning coming up, Huo Wuling slightly removed the phone and stared at Ji Ning for a few seconds, but he didn't say a word, instead he lifted the quilt and got into the bed, and still Covering his head, he refused to communicate with Ji Ning.

    Jin Ning was so angry with him that he wanted to kick him, but for the sake of the peace of the dormitory, he held back, took down the reference book in a sullen mood, and continued to revise his thesis.

    However, the progress of the revision of the paper was not much, and Ning suddenly received a message from Fergie on the computer, asking him how he finally rehearsed with Alke.

    After hesitating for a while, Ji Ning replied: To be honest, it's pretty bad, he's not in a good state today.

    At the same time, he remembered what Alke said to him at that time, and he was a little disturbed. If he had not fainted at the time, perhaps Alke might have confessed to him. Of course, he hoped that the most Fortunately, he thought about it a lot, otherwise he wouldn't know how to get along with this apprentice.

    Sure enough, I think he is not quite right today, and he is always absent-minded when eating with him at night.

    Fergie said this, Ji Ning knew that he and Alke had a good relationship. They should have been friends before going to college, so the contact between the two should be more, Fergie The problem is also more visible.

    Fergie continued: I asked him what was wrong with him today, but he didn’t say anything. He just ate his head and ate. I joked that he might have a relationship problem. He walked away with a dinner plate, I didn't see it clearly, but his ears seemed to be red, maybe he really liked someone.

    “…”

    Seeing this, Ji Ning's fingers stayed on the keyboard for a long time, not knowing how to answer Fergie, but Fergie is a talkative character, even if Ji Ning keeps silent, he can Talk to yourself.

    Of course I have to figure out what he's thinking, but he doesn't tell me if he lives or kills me, I really can't help it.

    Fergie typed a lot of words in one breath, and finally said: So I'm just here to ask you, the vice president, come and chat with him, this kid likes you very much, If you asked, you might have told you.

    May I ask? Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, is this inappropriate? This is Alke's private affairs. We are all outsiders, so don't interfere.

    Although I said so, but the state of this kid has affected our drama, and you don't want our show to end badly, right? Fergie replied quickly, as if he had expected what he would say.

    But if he asks, maybe the situation will be worse...

    Jining was extremely helpless, but he couldn't tell Fergie about this.

    But Fergie is right, they have been preparing for the drama for a long time, and they can't make any mistakes now, and he can't be sure that the person Alke likes is him.

    Okay. That's what he finally said to Fergie, and I'll talk to him tomorrow.

    It's up to you. Fergie said, by the way, the appointment time with Mr. Zhou Rin has been set, it is six o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, and the location has not yet been determined. Are you all right at that time?

    I'm fine, I can go. Jining said.

    That's fine, I'll let you know when the location is set.

    After communicating with Fergie, Ning received a message from her brother Ozel, and continued to chat with Ozel for a while. , so Ji Ning stopped revising the thesis, went to wash up and went straight to sleep.

    Ning Ji in his sleep had a dream, I don't know if it was because Jiang Che was mentioned many times during the day, what he had was a dream about Jiang Che, what he dreamed was when Jiang Che gave him a pendant matter.

    It was Ji Ning's sixteenth birthday. In addition to celebrating with friends and family every year, he would go out to dinner with Jiang Che alone. This pendant was given to him by Jiang Che after the meal. .

    "Where did you get this?"

    When he got the pendant, he couldn't help being surprised: "Why have I never seen it before?"

    "I made it for you."

    Jiang Che, who was sitting opposite him, raised his lips slightly, and seemed to like seeing his surprised expression: "I also participated in the production, I carved its eyes, how about , it should be fine?"

    "..." Ji Ning pinched the robot's round body, suddenly laughed, and said, "No wonder I think everything else looks good, but the eyes are particularly ugly, so you destroyed it already."

    "Ugly?" Jiang Che raised his eyebrows, "If you think it's ugly, it's because it's ugly in the first place, even the shop owner said I carved it very similar, that's not my problem ."

    "You are not allowed to call it ugly, it is much prettier than you."

    Jining laughed and quarreled with Jiang Che, and finally restrained her joking attitude, tied the pendant to her mobile phone, and thanked Jiang Che very seriously: "I like it very much, this is me The best birthday present I've received this year, thank you, Jiang Che."

    Jiang Che also softened the expression between his eyebrows when he heard the words, rubbed Ji Ning's hair and laughed.

    The picture gradually fell into darkness and silence, and then turned into a blood red, the light above the emergency room. In the tormented waiting, the last thing he heard was the news that the doctor announced Jiang Che's death.

    Jining suddenly opened her eyes and woke up from a nightmare. When he woke up, his eyes were sore and swollen, and almost the moment he opened, tears were already streaming down.

    "Jining?"

    Suddenly he heard a very soft voice from under the bed, it was Qin Ruwang. Ji Ning wiped her tears, stuck her head out of the bed, and saw that Qin Ruwang had changed into a sports suit, was wearing headphones, and seemed to be going downstairs for a morning run.

    "I heard you cry." Qin Ruwang's eyes were calm, he looked up at him, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

    “…had a nightmare.”

    Jining lightly blinked her sour eyes and forced a smile at Qin Ruwang. He glanced at the time on his mobile phone. It was still early at 5:50, but he couldn't sleep either. He hesitated and asked, "Can you wait for me for a while? I want to go down with you."

    Qin Ruwang's handsome face showed a hint of surprise, he nodded quickly, and Ji Ning didn't waste any more time. Go downstairs.

    Because Ji Ning was there, Qin Ruwang didn't run, just walked with Ji Ning on the road. He didn't ask Ji Ning what he was going to do when he got down, because it was only six o'clock, and the canteen was the earliest It only opened at 6:30, not to mention the teaching building and other places. If Ji Ning didn't want to exercise, she just wanted to relax.

    Now the genius is bright, the light is dim, and the temperature is not high. When Qin Ruwang opened his mouth, the heat he exhaled turned into a slight white mist: "Is it cold?"

    "It's okay." Ji Ning learned the lesson from last night and put on thicker clothes. He felt warm all over, but his hands were cold. He didn't wear gloves. No pockets either.

    Qin Ruwang looked down and saw his reddish fingertips, suddenly reached out and pulled off a glove and handed it to Ji Ning, then stretched out and wrapped Ji Ning's hand in his own, Putting his hand in his pocket.

    "Huh? Thanks..."

    Being held by Qin Ruwang, Ji Ning felt a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but Qin Ruwang insisted on doing so, and put a glove on his other hand. He held that hand and put it in his pocket to keep warm.

    Qin Ruwang's hand was very warm, Ji Ning's hand was held by him and put it in his pocket together. .

    Ruwang's heartbeat seemed to be a bit fast... Ji Ning's mind flashed such a thought for a moment.

    But before he could think deeply, Qin Ruwang asked him, "What dream did you have just now?"

    Jining was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Maybe it's because I mentioned Jiang Che yesterday. I dreamed of him just now, and he had a car accident in the dream."

    Perhaps the warmth from his fingertips gave him a sense of security, but this time he didn't stop talking and continued talking.

      The idea of ​​dying with him has arisen."

     "But then I sometimes have such thoughts, I think Jiang Che is not dead, he just left for a while, just like he just went out the door and will come back soon."

    "These two contradictory thoughts appeared alternately, which caused me to feel very bad for a period of time, so I had psychological counseling." Ji Ning laughed at himself, "Actually, until now my psychological counseling It didn't stop completely, and sometimes I would go to Mr. Herinos to tutor me and go to the hospital for regular check-ups."

    "Originally, my condition is much better, but maybe I'm too tired these days, and I'm starting to have old problems again..."

    Qin Ruwang listened to him quietly. After a while, when Ji Ning finished speaking, the two fell into a brief silence, and then Qin Ruwang spoke.

    "From a very young age, whenever I was in a bad mood, I would get up and watch the sunrise."

    He stopped, and Ji Ning stopped with him. They were facing east. At this time, the morning sun was rising little by little, and the sun was getting brighter and brighter. Covered with a faint light.

    "Day after day, year after year, the sun will always rise and dispel the darkness. Its splendor is all I yearn for."

    "It will take away all your sorrow."

    He turned his head and stared into Ji Ning's eyes.

    This is not his lie. When his mother was still alive, he would get up early to serve the nobles in the court. , he will forget all troubles.

    But at that time, he also hated Ji Ning and wanted to turn a blind eye to this brilliance, but he unknowingly coveted the warmth of the light, and the excitement in his heart became stronger day by day.

    He still sees the sunrise, but his mood changes as he gets older.

      world.

      But sitting on the high throne, he sank into the long night and loneliness, and all that was left was the bone-chilling cold.

    It was only then that he knew that Ji Ning was his sun, his moon, his stars and heaven and earth.

    Even though he now knows that he is just another person's incarnation, his feelings towards Ji Ning have never changed.

    He had lived a complete life, he had already owned the world, but he only lost Ji Ning.

    If he can have Ji Ning, he doesn't care who he is or what he will lose. He doesn't care about himself, only Ji Ning.

    If only by becoming "Jiang Che", will he have the chance to truly own Ji Ning...

    Qin Ruwang's eyes were deep, and the strength in his hands slowly tightened, but at this time, the surrounding scene suddenly shattered, the illusory color faded, and he returned to the darkness .

    Jining fainted in his arms, and the figures of the others also appeared, with different expressions, but they all looked at the future invariably.

    "What's wrong?"

    Huo Wuling first glanced at Ji Ning, then looked at the future, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"

    "I'm here to tell you that the operation is almost over."

    Future looked at them and said.

    "Time is running out."
