Lin Luoqing hadn’t been abroad since he came to this world. Suddenly, he was going abroad and he couldn’t help being a bit curious.
Shi Zheng and Ning Yu were also going abroad for the first time. There was a bit of novelty in their eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Jiayou took them to play for an afternoon. It wasn’t until after 10 o’clock in the evening that they dispersed.
Lin Luoqing drank some wine. The wine was very sweet, like some type of ripe fruit, but the alcohol content wasn’t low.
He lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He dizzily thought of seeing Ji Yuxiao again.
He didn’t know what Ji Yuxiao was doing now?
Thinking about him?
He really missed Ji Yuxiao.
He felt Ji Yuxiao’s shadow looming in front of his eyes. He reached out to grab it, but he couldn’t catch it.
Lin Luoqing muttered to tell him not to run away, but the other person passed through his fingers and escaped from his heart.
Lin Luoqing kept grabbing anxiously. As he was grabbing at this person, he heard his phone ringing.
He was busy catching Ji Yuxiao, who was hiding from him, and didn’t answer.
Then after a while, his phone rang again.
Lin Luoqing snorted with dissatisfaction at Ji Yuxiao, who still refused to be caught by him. He said in his heart, ‘I will ignore you.’
He turned around and answered the phone with a sticky voice. “Hello.”
“Have you gone back?” Ji Yuxiao asked him.
“Yes.” Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Luoqing called out, “Ji Yuxiao.”
“What’s wrong?” Ji Yuxiao asked with a good temper.
“You’re gone,” Lin Luoqing said in a low voice.
Ji Yuxiao in front of him was gone.
Obviously, he was still there just now. Why did he suddenly disappear?
Lin Luoqing was a bit sad. Then he heard Ji Yuxiao’s voice again. “What is gone?”
He looked at the phone in his hand in a daze. So Ji Yuxiao ran into the phone.
Lin Luoqing grabbed the phone and said with a smile, “I caught you.”
Ji Yuxiao heard his nonsensical words and asked him, “Have you been drinking?”
“Yes,” Lin Luoqing answered him. “It is sweet and very delicious.”
Ji Yuxiao pressed a hand to his brow, thinking in his heart that this person was really drunk.
“Then go to bed early and have a good rest.”
“Yes.” Lin Luoqing’s voice was very obedient.
It was just that he said so, but he never hung up the phone.
Ji Yuxiao didn’t urge him and quietly enjoyed the silence of this moment.
After a long time, he heard Lin Luoqing say unhappily, “You’re gone.”
“Gone again.”
“Where did you go this time, Ji Yuxiao?”
Ji Yuxiao smiled. Fortunately, he didn’t hang up the phone.
“I’m still here, he replied.
Lin Luoqing heard his voice and became happy again.
He was lying on his bed and held his phone like he was holding Ji Yuxiao. He was completely confused.
He said, “I miss you so much.”
“I miss you too,” Ji Yuxiao said.
“Why do you miss me?” Lin Luoqing asked with closed eyes.
“Then why do you miss me?” Ji Yuxiao asked him.
“Of course, it is because I like you.” Lin Luoqing didn’t hesitate.
When he said this, he laughed. Then he raised his phone and shouted, “I like you.”
The flowers in Ji Yuxiao’s heart bloomed with a bang. The moon fell into the water, causing layer after layer of ripples.
“You like me so much,” Ji Yuxiao said deliberately.
Lin Luoqing let out a ‘hmm.’ His voice was soft and gentle, like a secret hidden in his heart.
“I didn’t like you so much before, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. I always say I like you and had a crush on you. If I say it a thousand times, it seems like I’ve really had a crush on you for a long, long time.”
Lin Luoqing was lying on the bed, his thinking a bit chaotic.
Images flashed in his mind. The words he wouldn’t say to Ji Yuxiao when awake were now said casually.
He had long forgotten when he liked Ji Yuxiao.
Was it the first time he saw Ji Yuxiao and thought this person was so handsome? Was it the first time Ji Yuxiao fell asleep in front of him and he crouched down to see Ji Yuxiao’s sleeping face from the bottom up? Or perhaps it was the first day they shared the bed when he woke up in Ji Yuxiao’s arms and deliberately leaned close to tease him. Maybe it was because he was obviously inconvenient but was still willing to travel thousands of kilometers to the set to see him.
Of course, he never had a secret love for Ji Yuxiao. He just said it too many times, again and again, over and over. Sometimes, he suddenly felt that he seemed to really have a crush on Ji Yuxiao for 15 years. He walked through the wind and snow, walked through time, and came to see him.
It would be really nice if he really had a crush on Ji Yuxiao.
It would be fine if he really liked Ji Yuxiao for 15 years.
In that way, his youth should also be wonderful.
“I like you,” he said in a low voice. He liked Ji Yuxiao so much that he wanted to go back in time, go back to elementary school and see the same young Ji Yuxiao in order to put this person in his heart.
The most successful lie in the world was a true lie.
It was a lie that would become the truth in the end.
Lin Luoqing once said that he had a crush on Ji Yuxiao in order to avoid the plot. Later, he stopped saying this. It was because he regretted not meeting Ji Yuxiao so early and didn’t really have a crush on him.
“It would be great if I could really have a crush on you for 15 years,” he whispered.
Ji Yuxiao hadn’t expected him to say that.
He remembered the snowy night last year. Lin Luoqing had also been drunk at the time. He was very stubborn and said he was chasing Ji Yuxiao, he had a crush on Ji Yuxiao.
He disagreed with Ji Yuxiao saying that it was Ji Yuxiao who chased him. He was very insistent that he was the one who chased Ji Yuxiao and had a crush on him.
At that time, he was confused by Lin Luoqing’s firm attitude. He thought he had missed something all along and Lin Luoqing really had a crush on him.
Now he knew what was going on.
Lin Luoqing liked him and wanted to make what he said come true. Lin Luoqing wanted to really love him as stated.
But Ji Yuxiao couldn’t bear it.
15 years was too long. He felt distressed just thinking about Lin Luoqing really having a crush on him for 15 years.
“There is no need to have a crush on me,” he replied. “As long as you appear in front of me, I will definitely like you. So there is no need for a crush.”
There was no need for a secret love. Just stand in front of him and appear beside him.
No matter when, as long as it was Lin Luoqing, Ji Yuxiao would involuntarily be attracted and fascinated by him
So there was no need for a secret love, let alone 15 years.
Ji Yuxiao was very fortunate. He was fortunate that Lin Luoqing never had a crush on him and hadn’t gone through a long life. Lin Luoqing didn’t have to do without love, didn’t toss and turn for him and wasn’t restless all night.
He was very glad that what he gave to Lin Luoqing was all joy, the bright colors that belonged to him.
He didn’t let Lin Luoqing get hurt in loving him. It was the happiest thing he ever had.
“I love you.”
Because I love you, I can’t bear for you to be alone.
So you don’t need to have a crush on me.
It was a pity that Lin Luoqing had fallen asleep and didn’t hear this sentence.
The moonlight shone through the glass window, gently crowning his dream. In it, he returned to his childhood and passed by Ji Yuxiao.
He looked back. The young Ji Yuxiao had bright eyes and waved to him with a smile. The sun shone on his face and he shone into Ji Yuxiao’s heart.
They had a crush on each other for 15 years. After 15 years, they carefully kissed each other.
The sky was high, the water was long and the years were quiet.
Lin Luoqing was still confused when he was woken up by Wu Xinyuan.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have spoken with Ji Yuxiao on the phone last night. He just wasn’t sure until he saw the call record on his phone and found that it was true.
However, Lin Luoqing was instantly puzzled when seeing this. Did he talk to Ji Yuxiao for five hours?
How could they talk for so long?
Lin Luoqing curiously sent a WeChat message to Ji Yuxiao: [What did we talk about last night for five hours?]
Ji Yuxiao thought that it was because his phone ran out of battery, or it would’ve been more than five hours!
Ji Yuxiao: [I’ll tell you when you come back.]
Lin Luoqing was even more curious: [Can’t you reveal it in advance?]
Ji Yuxiao: [I can’t~]
Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…So mysterious.’
Lin Luoqing didn’t think much about it. In any case, he would go back tomorrow and know tomorrow.
He followed Wu Xinyuan to choose the suit he would wear on the red carpet this time. He sat in front of the dressing table and asked the stylist to help him do his makeup.
At 6 o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Luoqing walked the red carpet with Shi Zheng, Yu Jiayou and Ning Yu.
This was the first time they had come to the Golden Phoenix Awards Ceremony, but Lin Luoqing knew very well that this wouldn’t be the last time.
The Golden Phoenix didn’t hold a live broadcast. So when the red carpet photos were transmitted back to China, Lin Luoqing had already entered the venue early and was waiting for the start of the awards ceremony.
Lin Luoqing’s fans saw his red carpet photos and screamed one after another. [Ahhhhh, Qing Qing is so handsome!]
[The suit looks good. Go Qing Qing!]
[Brother’s beauty is killing me!]
[Wu wu wu, when I think about not being able to sleep with Qing Qing in this life, I think about what is the meaning of my life!]
[So nervous, so nervous. Brother, jiayou!]
Other netizens looked at the ‘Return to Jade’ crew on the red carpet and couldn’t help sighing.
[F*k! Is this crew all so handsome?]
[I know Lin Luoqing and Shi Zheng. Who are the two handsome guys next to him? The director and another actor?]
[The one in the middle is obviously the director. This director is quite handsome.]
[He isn’t just handsome, but also young!]
[God, the four of them can simply debut in a group. Their faces are too amazing!]
[Brother Zheng is standing next to Qing Qing. The Poetic Emotion mood is here again!]
[Hahaha, this is the first time Brother Zheng has officially cooperated with Qing Qing. The previous ‘Peaches and Plums Don’t Speak’ doesn’t count. Brother Zheng didn’t have much of a role at the time.]
[Lin Luoqing really loves him so much. He never forgets Brother Zheng when making movies.]
[??? Lin Luoqing’s favorite is obviously Ji Yuxiao, okay? Poetic Emotion are true friends at first glance. They just cooperate at work. Passion is the real sweetness.]
[That’s right. Passion is the sweetest. Poetic Emotion is obviously work!]
[Oh my god, CP fans shouldn’t come here. Why don’t we watch handsome guys together?]
[Hahaha, come to fight sugar. Let me see if it is Poetic Emotion or Passion. I haven’t eaten the candy of these two yet.]
For a while, the forum was full of posts about Lin Luoqing.
Around 8 o’clock, the award ceremony officially began.
Lin Luoqing sat on the seat in a nervous mood. He secretly thought, ‘I must win the award, must win the award!’
Both he and Yu Jiayou must win awards!
He fidgeted and clasped his hands together. Soon, he heard the host say in English, “The next one to be presented is the Golden Phoenix Best Director Award.”
Lin Luoqing sat up straight in an instant.
The big screen on the stage played the representative works of the nominated directors one after another.
Lin Luoqing saw his own scene flash on the screen. Finally, he heard the presenter shout Yu Jiayou’s English name in a high voice.
Lin Luoqing was stunned for a second. Then he couldn’t stop the smile spreading on his face and he quickly clapped.
Yu Jiayou looked at the presenter guests on the podium in surprise. Then he glanced at Lin Luoqing and Ning Yu beside him.
It was… actually him?
It was really him!
