Chapter 99(1/2)
Andremond.
Once upon a time, in the midnight dream of the nightmare that I could not get rid of, I dreamed of this person countless times and then woke up.
In the dream, this man stood in the sun without any temperature, his golden hair was so dazzling that it made people feel dazzling. He cracked his mouth and revealed his neat white teeth, and showed the most evil smile in the world for Jinran, as if in the next second, he would pounce on him, bite off his neck, and suck all the blood in his body dry...
Dreams usually end quickly here - for ordinary people, ordinary nightmares will only wake the dreamer from the dream when they dream about dying or extremely nervous moments, and for Jinran, this demon with golden hair, he doesn't even have to do anything. Just standing there and laughing at him is enough to wake him up from the dream alive.
Such nightmares have caused the teenager to have a long history of insomnia and mental weakness.
I spent a long time forgetting something that shouldn't exist in my memory, walking out of the shadows, returning to campus, graduating normally, and then getting in touch with the film and television industry and coming to the public's eyes...
His busy career made him almost have no time to look back on the past.
But he never expected that after twelve years, when his life was on the right track, he almost forgot that when this person had existed in his life, he broke into his world without warning. The big bouquet of fiery red rose in his arms was like a thorny flower handed out from the witch. He stood there with it carefully, feeling that the fragrance of roses made him feel disgusted and dizzy...
He wanted to turn around and run away.
Be a cowardly deserter like he used to be.
And this time, I knew that he could not do this - there was his career, his friends, and his future - countless pairs of eyes were looking at him, and he was no longer the boy who had ever encountered something that was better than anything he had just shrank.
At this moment, the shadow cast by Andre's tall figure completely enveloped him. He mustered up his courage and slightly raised his jaw into a tough curve, looking at the amber pupils buried deep in his memory-
In my memory, this person has always had a stronger and taller body than his peers. Such a body contains endless power that makes no one dare to do anything to resist in front of him. Jinran once thought naively that he has grown a lot over the years. Perhaps when he met this person again, he would no longer be as afraid as before... The fact now is that over the past twelve years, Yuan Jinran has indeed grown up to a standard adult male body of 1.76 meters. While he grew up, at the other end of the earth, someone was growing rapidly.
He was nearly 1.85 meters tall in high school and is now about ten centimeters taller.
Even the expensive white suit on his body could not hide his strong muscles. The wheat-colored skin and vaguely raised muscles could be easily seen under the neckline that seemed to be pulled open impatiently in the form of unrestrainedness...
And those hands... Jingran almost immediately withdrew his gaze after a glance. The big bouquet of roses in his arms at this moment looked as funny as a bouquet of toys when he was in those big hands the second ago.
"It should be held in your hand. I have had enough of all kinds of strange gazes when I took it all the way from the corridor." Regardless of the pale face of the black-haired young man in front of him, his body could not help but tremble slightly and cold sweat broke out between his forehead, the man named Andremond raised his finger and gently bounced one of the bouquets of roses held by the black-haired young man in his arms. He chuckled, his voice was low and he said with great satisfaction, "I always thought you were very good at red roses."
The rose that he had bounced past broke directly from the stem of the flower with a "splash".
He spoke to himself, talking to himself completely, and even if he was cautious, he was enjoying it.
Andre's appearance attracted the attention of some people in the banquet hall - of course, he was tall and very good-looking. If he hadn't been a fierce aura even in a suit and tie, he could almost be regarded as a handsome rich young man...
What's more, when he came in, he was holding a big bouquet of roses in his hand—
Then the female stars present had an expectant look, and when they were waiting in their hearts like a drum, looking forward to such a large bouquet of flowers and a tall and mighty handsome man to come to him and make him the most enviable person tonight, they never expected that this bouquet of roses would be carelessly stuffed into the arms of another man...
If you insist on saying there is any misunderstanding.
Then Andremond hugged the young man with excitement and ate this behavior, even if he completely dispelled the idea of all the girls present who were awake and entertained with confidence-
"Oh my God, I'm not as fucking as a man."
This is what most of the ladies present think at this moment.
"—But he is really beautiful and has acting skills. I wonder why Hollywood didn't find him earlier—if he had been younger, he would be more popular than he is now."
The number one heroine of "Mysterious Seeds", International Film Queen Sara, raised the red wine glass in her hand and shook it gently. While she couldn't help but look at the two male creatures standing not far away, she said to her female companion in an understatement: "I always thought Asians were yellow, and now I find that I was wrong terrible - Look, when standing in front of a woman, he was like a handsome medieval knight; when standing in front of a man, he instantly became the princess who should be protected..."
She stopped talking about this - in fact, there are many Asians who are pretty, such as some Korean stars, who are strictly more beautiful than girls.
But Yuan Jinran is different.
Compared to those real idol stars, it seems that it is a little bit worse if they have to rely on their faces to make a living - but when he stands in front of others, his words, actions, and actions give people an indescribable special feeling: some people are destined to eat the food of actors, and Yuan Jinran is probably such a person.
When he appears on the screen, it is difficult for the person sitting in front of the TV to move his eyes away from him.
It was as if everything he did was right and it was taken for granted - even if he was holding a bouquet of fiery red roses in public and was held in his arms and kissed by a man who looked like a bear.
Thinking of this, Sala felt that her worldview was a bit broken.
At this time, Sala's female companion couldn't help but shook her head when she heard this. She had to admit that when the young black-haired man, who was like the bear, did not make people feel anything wrong. For God's sake, she still couldn't help but recall the shock of accidentally seeing them kissing for a few seconds, so she sighed: "Both men and women are killed."
Salad sneered: "Showing and delicious food."
There were obviously many people whispering like them at this time. The real banquet hall was in a short and terrible silence. Although he could clearly feel countless gazes falling on his body, like a needle piercing his skin through his coat. The tingling feeling made his nerves tense and then suddenly woke up.
So he made an amazing move - he stuffed the big bouquet of roses in his arms back to the arms of the tall man standing in front of him, and then took a few steps back, stared at the person in front of him with his black eyes, and said vigilantly: "Why are you here?"
Andrei pinched the bouquet of flowers and shook them casually - the bouquet that was blooming just right fell down a few red petals because of his movement. He smiled and replied: "I thought you were going to stand there stare at me without talking for the whole night."
Jinran pursed her lips and looked very unpleasant.
Andre shrugged: "I thought you had already had a certain awareness when you saw the surname ‘Mond’ on the list of investors, and even guessed whether you would come to this premiere - what surprised me was that you really came; what disappointed me was obviously that you came with the idea that 'probability was probably the one who was a bad name'..."
I really meant to listen to his long-windedness and it was very difficult to talk to Andre because he had a heavy accent when speaking English, which had not changed at all even after so many years.
Yes, he used the reason for "learning English" to be...
Realizing that he was almost uncontrollably pulled into the abyss of memories again. Jin Ran shivered, and he tried not to show any inappropriate gazes on his face like "panic" - because he knew that, including Mr. Mandero, there were already many people paying attention to this side, and he really could not make more extraordinary actions to make them more curious...
After calming down, he whispered quietly: "If I knew you were here tonight, I would definitely not come."
“It’s so ruthless.”
When he sighed like this, the corners of the man's lips were slightly raised, and he seemed to have expected the situation long ago.
He glanced at the hand of fiery red rose in his hand, almost feeling that his eyes were burning. He clenched his cold hands slightly, and he made himself sound calmly: "It's been so many years, Andre, when I meet him on this occasion, I don't think we have to--"
"You are the one who said the ending willfully."
“…”
"And you should know that manipulation is never on you."
"Mr. Mond," Jinran felt a little angry, which made him slightly suppress his fear and have the courage to exclaim the name of the self-talking person in front of him. "I think I have made it very clear whether it was back then or now--"
"You can't live without me, yet." Andre stepped forward. When he saw the young black haired man stepping back immediately, his amber eyes flashed with a pleasant and wanton light that carnivorous animals had when they were about to catch their prey. He lowered his voice and bent down in front of the young black haired man, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You can't live without me, whether it was back then, or now... Ah, I really miss when you called me Senior Mond or Andre when I was smiling and called me at that time the sky was shrouded above your head--and now, you are an actor, I am an investor, and the world is so wonderful. Guess what would those producers think if I insisted on changing the actors of the second "God's Redemption"?
Jinran's eyes widened slightly.
After a long time, he squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Despicable."
Andre's smile became deeper: "Of course, I won't be despicable."
After speaking, the man blew a bad breath in the ear of the young black hair, and then he straightened his waist, then he patted Jinran's shoulder like a good friend, and smiled as if nothing had happened at the volume that everyone standing around them could hear, "Look, I just made a joke and made a little prank, which scared you to what it was-"
At this moment, the Mandello producer standing beside him blinked, and a relieved expression suddenly appeared on his face that had been blank before: "My God, Andre, do you know our rising Oriental Pearl?"
Perhaps Mandelo's adjective was a bit exaggerated, Andrey laughed heartily, and he turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a flash of eyes: "Yes, yes, but my junior in high school - it was rare for international students to come to our school at that time, and there were different races... He is the most popular figure in our school. When he first transferred to the school, many people ran to the door of their classroom after class to see him-"
When Andre said this, he paused and his lips curled up: "At that time, I was thinking, I had to be friends with this oriental man-I didn't expect that he really became a good friend with me later, very good friend."
Every word from Andre seemed to remind Jin Ran of what happened back then.
With his conversation with Mr. Mandro, his face became increasingly ugly. He wanted to walk away - but he could see the warning in Andre's aftermath - as if he was warning him that if he dared to walk away, then what happened here today would probably not be so good now - and this evil and unscrupulous person, if his nature has not changed in the slightest of years, then this warning would be more accurate to regard it as a "preview that may happen at any time".
So I had to stand there, with a cold face listening to the disgusting greetings to his crew leader in front of me, the person he hated the most in the world.
"However, Andre said, have you ever studied in Germany?"
“It’s been a few months.”
"Ah, depending on your performance, I thought you were here for the first time."
Facing Mandelo's surprised gaze, he smiled gently. Before he could answer, he looked up and saw Andrei grinning: "Later he ran back to the country without saying a word. I felt very hurt because of this. I have been struggling for so many years whether he had done something wrong and ran away from my angel-"
I can't laugh anymore.
But Mandello just thought Andre was just an exaggerated joke.
I could not control the urge to escape from this banquet hall immediately - I breathed the air in the same space as Andremond. Just thinking of this made him feel an uncontrollable feeling of disgust surge in his chest, really.
...
Fortunately, it was not long before the banquet started for half an hour, and the door of the banquet hall, which was originally closed, was opened again - the guests who received invitations from actors or senior executives of the crew entered the venue in an orderly manner. The already lively banquet hall has now become more lively because more people have entered. This is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Jinran. So when the door opened, he kept looking at the door.
——Although he did not think that Jiang Chuan's appearance would have a good impact on the situation in front of him.
But as long as you think about seeing him, Jinran will feel a little more at ease.
Perhaps his eager expression was hanging on his face too unconcealed. At this moment, Andre, who had sent Mandelo's producer, turned his head and noticed it with a few words. He frowned slightly, and a gloomy mood flashed through his amber eyes for a moment, but soon he restrained them perfectly and asked in the initial relaxed tone: "Who are you waiting for?"
"It has nothing to do with you," Jinran said coldly, "Can you walk away after saying enough? My friend will--"
"You still have friends? You never had friends before."
"It's not because of you-" The moment he heard Andrei's words, his cautious gaze suddenly flashed, and seemed to have a huge emotional fluctuation, but soon, that emotion seemed to be forcibly suppressed by him. He lowered his eyes and said dimly, "Forget it."
Andre seemed to like him remembering the past and sneered, "Speak."
Jinran gritted his teeth and shook his head, forcibly turned around and wanted to walk away from him - Yu Guang saw a trace of displeasure flashing across the tall man's face, and this expression made him almost conditioned reflexively and wanted to escape, and he had already seen Andre raise his hand as if he was about to reach out to grab him-
It would be bad if he caught it!
When this thought came into Jin Ran's mind, almost all the cells in his body turned on the guard mode. He turned his body slightly and seemed to want to avoid Andre's hand, but he didn't expect that at this time, a warm big hand suddenly stretched out from another direction and directly grabbed his wrist and dragged him backwards. The heavy force pulled him to stagger and wash, but it just made him avoid Andre's capture.
He hit a firm chest with a cautious back.
The next second, he keenly felt a familiar and reassuring aura enveloped him.
"What's going on?"
The low and magnetic male voice sounded at a distance of close proximity, and he heard his heart "boom" landing - he raised his head and looked at the man standing behind him. From his perspective, he could see Jiang Chuan's thin lips gently pursed into an angle that was not very pleasant, and the blue eyes reflected the outline of another blonde gorilla.
From this perspective, you can see the man's perfectly curved jaw, as if the carvings created by the top artist.
Jinran was stunned for a moment. This time, the nervous mood in his eyes was swept away. He did not break away from Jiang Chuan's hand that was buckled on his wrist, but turned slightly in the position of leaning in his arms, and asked the man behind him happily: "Why did you come?"
To be continued...
