Chapter 103
Chapter 103
The bright red banner was eye-catching enough, coupled with the loud sound of the helicopter, it attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone stared at the huge words several times, and then looked at Luo Zhen who was standing at the entrance of the cinema in surprise.
"Is it a fan?" Ji Yue asked in a low voice.
Luo Zhen shook his head: "I don't know."
He really didn't know, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that he probably wasn't a fan. After all, this was just a trial screening of the movie, let alone whether he had such a fan, and if he had, he probably wouldn't give it away now.
"Xiao Zhen, who is that?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhen, why are they all roses?"
The fans around reacted from their surprise and began to ask in unison.
This is really hard to answer. When Luo Zhen didn't know how to respond, a familiar car stopped not far away. Through the dark glass, Luo Zhen saw Xiao Fang waving at them.
"Go, let's go up." Ji Yue took the lead in walking forward.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the fans surrounded them anxiously.There were too many people, and the security guards couldn't stop them. At this moment, Ji Yue suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Luo Zhen's wrist, and led him forward quickly.
"Wow!!" There was a loud exclamation from the crowd. I don't know if it was affected by Ji Yue's sudden movement.
Luo Zhen was stunned for a while, but didn't take back her hand, didn't say anything, and followed Ji Yue forward with her head down.At this time, he was very fortunate to wear a mask, otherwise he doubted that his face would be so red that it would burn directly.
After getting in the car, the sufficient air-conditioning in the car rushed over, and Luo Zhen felt the temperature on his face that was starting to burn slowly drop.
Ji Yue let go of his hand very naturally, as if he did it just because he was afraid that Luo Zhen would be squeezed by the crowd.
"Brother Ji, Brother Luo, shall we go then?" Xiao Fang asked.
"Well, let's go." Ji Yue took out a bottle of water from the side drawer and handed it to Luo Zhen, "Take it easy."
Luo Zhen nodded and took it, but didn't unscrew it immediately, and waited until his face returned to normal before taking off the mask.
The cold water passed through his mouth, and the hot feeling gradually receded. He looked at Ji Yue: "Where are we going?"
This time, Ji Yue didn't keep his mouth shut, he smiled and said, "Go and see my previous school."
Luo Zhen wanted to ask why he wanted to go to school, but felt that even if he asked, he would not answer, so he just nodded and said nothing.
There was soothing music playing in the car, and Luo Zhen, who had been busy running publicity for the past few days, could only sleep for four or five hours a day, looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling drowsy slowly sweeping in.
Because he carries the secret of the system with him, he is actually a person who will not sleep outside. Even in a hotel, he must check whether the door is locked again and again before going to bed, lest something will be accidentally exposed.
But today Luo Zhen let himself fall asleep like this. I don't know if it was because he was too tired, or because there was someone around him who made him feel at ease.
The place Ji Yue was going to was not in the urban area, and the road became bumpier the further he went out. After watching Luo Zhen fall asleep, his head leaning against the car window kept bobbing back and forth.
He sat down slowly, then stretched out his hand, letting him lean on his shoulder gently.
"Turn up the air conditioner."
"Okay." It happened to be a red light, and while adjusting the temperature, Xiao Fang glanced at the rearview mirror, and it turned out that this glance almost didn't make him doubt his life.
I go!
what is this?
Why did Brother Luo lean his head on Brother Ji's shoulder?
Why did Brother Ji reach out to protect Brother Luo?
Is he blind or is the mirror dirty?
"The light is green." Ji Yue rolled his eyes over, Xiao Fang felt his gaze back, and drove his car cautiously.
If the mirror is dirty, it must be the mirror.
When Luo Zhen woke up, he found that the touch of his head was a bit abnormal. When did the window become so soft?
He raised his head with some doubts, until he met Shang Ji Yue's eyes, and then he suddenly reacted.
"I'm sorry Brother Ji, I'm so dishonest when I'm asleep."
"It's okay, I pulled you here because I was afraid that you would hit your head against the window." Ji Yue said with a smile.
This was more difficult to explain than what he had done by himself. Luo Zhen didn't know how to answer, so he had to look around, but he didn't see Xiao Fang.
"Xiao Fang left?"
"Well, I asked him to go back early." Ji Yue asked, "Are you still sleepy?"
"Not sleepy anymore."
Ji Yue opened the car door, "Then let's go down first."
"How long have I slept in the system?" Luo Zhen felt a little dizzy, and he must have slept for a long time.
[One hour two 10 minutes. 】
The system's answer really confirmed Luo Zhen's conjecture that the drive from the cinema to here should not take an hour at most, that is to say, during the time when he was sleeping, Ji Yue stayed in the car and waited for him to sleep more. he.
"Let's go, it's just ahead." Ji Yue walked to him and pointed to the school gate not far away.
This is a high school with a small scale, but there are quite a lot of students. Today is exactly Sunday, and the students rush back to study at night after their holidays. The not-so-wide school gate is crowded with people and food stalls.
Ji Yue: "Are you hungry?"
Luo Zhen nodded: "I'm a little hungry."
It's already five o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't eat anything at noon today. He didn't feel hungry because he was tired. He just rested for a while and found that his stomach was empty.
"How about eating finger cakes?" Ji Yue pointed to the food stall next to him.
Luo Zhen originally thought he was joking, after all, he had known him for so long, and he had never seen Ji Yue eat any junk food.But I didn't expect that when Ji Yue came back, he really had two hand pancakes in his hand.
"Come on, try our school's signboard." Ji Yue smiled and handed him one of them.
But in any school, as long as the class is over, there will definitely be various food stalls outside. In the eyes of the students, these snacks are more than ten thousand times better than the meals in the cafeteria.
Luo Zhen opened the packaging bag, took a bite, and nodded: "It's really delicious."
The two of them are tall, wearing hats and masks, and they are particularly eye-catching among a group of students in school uniforms.
In order not to be discovered, the two had no choice but to walk to the side. Opposite the school gate is a residential area. The houses here should have been repaired for a long time. From the outside, it can be seen that they are a bit dilapidated, but because it is close to the school, it is still a community opposite the high school. , so there are still many people living in it.
Ji Yue turned around and asked, "Do you want to visit the place where I used to live?"
Luo Zhen was a little surprised: "Isn't it rented out yet?"
After all, it's a bit far away from the urban area, so he thinks that Ji Yue shouldn't buy a house here.
"Probably not."
The management of the community is very loose. Two unfamiliar faces walked into the community. The security guard in the guard room just glanced lazily and did not ask for registration.
After walking in, Luo Zhen realized that the neighborhood looked big from the outside, but it was actually very small. After walking for a few minutes, Ji Yue stopped in front of a building.
He looked around, judged for a few seconds and answered Luo Zhen's previous question: "It's really not rented out."
Luo Zhen thought he was talking about the first floor. After all, Ji Yue hadn't looked up, but after he went in with him, he realized that he was talking about the basement.
The sensor lights in the corridor are very old, and Ji Yue made several noises before the dim lights flickered on.
With the help of the light that was not strong, Luo Zhen found that the door in front was closed, but it was not locked. It was just because there were too many debris accumulated inside, blocking the way.
"It seems that I can't get in." Ji Yue sighed with some regret.
"Brother Ji, did you live here?" Luo Zhen thought for a while before asking.
"Yes, but not for a long time. I only lived there for more than a year." Because it is a basement, the corridor is extra damp and there is still a lot of dust. Ji Yue took two steps back, "Let's go out first."
"it is good."
Luo Zhen suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed him out, because Ji Yue appeared in too few episodes in the original work, so he couldn't know anything about Ji Yue's past at all, but even so, he never thought about it Ji Yue's past would have been like this.
He didn't ask, but Ji Yue didn't intend to hide it from him. After coming out of the basement, his eyes became bright again.
Luo Zhen walked beside Ji Yue, and heard his voice: "I left home when I was almost eight years old. It's been too long, and I can't remember clearly."
"I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me, only the 1000 yuan that the housekeeper secretly gave me before I left. I thought it would be very difficult to live in the future, so I saved a lot. I hope that the money can be used for a long time. good……"
But no matter how much you save, it's only 1000 yuan, and it's only worth ten sheets of paper. It didn't take long for Ji Yue to spend it all.
At that time, he was really too young and thin, even some places that secretly recruited child labor would not want him.
It was no different from the scene when the original owner came out of the house, because there was a domestic violence father and an indifferent mother, many people would take special care of the original owner, especially some old people, and often secretly took him to eat something good at home.
But Ji Yue did not. The death of his mother left him with a suffocating shadow, which made him full of fear towards everyone, not to mention that he was still a child from other places. In this case, apart from the government, No one can help him anymore.
When he was in high school, he was able to work, and his situation became better. He didn't like living with strangers, so he explained the situation to his teacher and rented a basement outside.
"In the second year of high school, someone suddenly came to me and asked me if I would like to act."
The man said that acting can become a big star and have many fans. What he said was extravagant, but it couldn't compare to the appeal to Ji Yue that he could make a lot of money.
Ji Yue couldn't remember what that person looked like. Because of Ji Yue's student status, he planned to ask Ji Yue to tell his family if he could take a break from school for a while and return to continue his studies after filming.
But Ji Yue didn't do anything, he just packed up a few clothes and went to the crew with him, where he filmed his first movie.
That play was a great success, and everyone praised Ji Yue as a natural actor because of his cruel eyes in it.
But those people don't know that Ji Yue really grew up in such an environment, he cut off all his escape routes, he can only succeed, not fail.
During the conversation, the two had already walked back to the school from the community, and now they have gone to self-study at night, and the campus was completely quiet except for the chirping of cicadas from the trees.
Ji Yue smiled and looked at Luo Zhen: "So it's a blessing in disguise."
He said it calmly, but Luo Zhen knew how much he had endured after that.
In fact, there are many rumors about Ji Yue in the circle, some say that he has an amazing background, some say that his family is rich, because of Ji Yue's consistent high-profile style, these rumors are even more heated, and after the intensification, there will inevitably be a lot of ugly words.
Ji Yue never explained that he ignored the dirty water as if he didn't care about other people's impression of him at all.
But today, he took the initiative to tell Luo Zhen. Although some things were mentioned in a few sentences, he told everything he still remembered.
Luo Zhen stopped in his tracks, hesitant to speak.
He has a lot to say, but he doesn't know how to say it or not.
He felt that the things that happened today were slowly exceeding his previous plan, but he didn't turn his head and leave immediately like before.
For a while, the two of them didn't speak any more, and only the monotonous footsteps remained on the boulevard.
At the end of the road was a small iron gate, which was unlocked and opened with a push.
Ji Yue: "It's the back mountain of the school. Students are generally not allowed to go up there. I probably forgot to close the door today."
Luo Zhen nodded: "Then shall we go up?"
"Would you like to go up?"
Why not?
Luo Zhen almost blurted out this sentence, but swallowed it back immediately.
"I haven't been here yet, go up and have a look?"
"it is good."
I don't know if it's Luo Zhen's illusion, but he always feels that there is joy in Ji Yue's word.
It's getting late now, and it's the back mountain again. The trees blocked the light and it looked a little dark. Ji Yue took out his phone and turned on the flashlight, and walked up the road in front of him.
The back hill of the school is not too high or steep. Luo Zhen saw Ji Yue had stopped not long after he left.
"That's right there." He pointed down the mountain.
Below the mountain is the city, and the street lights illuminate the surroundings very brightly, in complete contrast to the dark mountain.
Luo Zhen stared at those flickering street lights for a few times, a little confused: "What's there?"
"That river." The land under the mountain was divided into two, separated by a very wide river with several high bridges on it.
There is a constant flow of vehicles on the bridge, and the lights of the lights and street lights are reflected on the river, and the flowing water is sparkling.
"I want to take you to meet my mother, but she doesn't have a tombstone. I spilled the ashes into that river, so I can only come here." Can see clearly.
"My mother was very depressed. I can't remember when I was happy before. I only know that since I can remember, the smile on her face seems to be less and less." Ji Yue said slowly, "But I feel , She probably doesn't like me and doesn't want to see me."
"Certainly not, Auntie will be very proud of you." Luo Zhen felt distressed, these words were actually very pale, because no matter what she said now, it would be of no use, and it would not be able to comfort Ji Yue at that time.
Ji Yue shook his head in relief, raised the corners of his mouth, and a familiar smile appeared on his face, "But I still came to quarrel with her today."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head, stared at the brightly lit mountain and shouted, "Mom, I brought Luo Zhen to see you, do you know him—"
There is wind on the mountain at night, and it is not small.
The mountain wind blew Ji Yue's voice far and lightly, and Luo Zhen felt that the voice seemed to be shouting against his ears.
The next second, he heard the gust of wind blowing again.
"—He's the one I like."
When he went to see Mr. Ji for the last time, or earlier, Ji Yue had already made up his mind.
He wants to take Luo Zhen to the place where he used to live and go to school, and tell him all his stories.
He hoped that everything Luo Zhen knew about him would be said by himself, not through other people's words, nor through rumors on the Internet.
He also wanted to take Luo Zhen to meet his mother and introduce Luo Zhen to it.
Although she used to hate herself very much, but Luo Zhen is so good, everyone must like it, and her mother must like it too.
Just like him.
