A thought suddenly occurred to Lin Ziran, that is, Ji Chen might have known him for a long time.

Otherwise, how could there be a photo of him?

Lin Ziran suddenly felt confused. He stared at the phone blankly, as if he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure it out…

It’s like looking at flowers in the fog. You can’t see or touch them.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

Lin Ziran suddenly panicked. He took a picture of Ji Chen’s phone screen with a click, then quickly stuffed his phone back in, pretending he had never taken it out. This series of actions was smooth, and even he himself didn’t understand why he did this…

Ji Chen pushed the door open and walked out. He was wearing a bathrobe loosely, his hair half-dried and smooth, falling on his forehead. His face was handsome and deep, and his deep eyes watched him walk over step by step. Lin Ziran’s heart was in his throat…

Seeing the man was about to kiss him, Lin Ziran was in a state of confusion, with only the photo in his mind.

He suddenly reached out and pushed Ji Chen away.

A hint of doubt appeared in Ji Chen’s dark eyes, and his voice was low and pleasant: “What’s wrong?”

Lin Ziran’s lips moved slightly.

He wanted to ask directly, but a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind! If he asked directly, there would be a fall out with him… He didn’t even know Ji Chen at all, but Ji Chen had his photo and the same phone as his… Perhaps he might be a perverted stalker, right? !

Moreover, Ji Chen had been hiding this fact and pretending not to know him, saying that he fell in love at first sight to confuse him. Even if he asked him, the other probably wouldn’t admit it. The most important thing is, if he asked him, how should he face a stalker senior? Perhaps they can’t even be friends anymore. Wouldn’t it be very embarrassing to see each other every now and then?

Lin Ziran hesitated again…

It’s just a little hard to imagine. How could Ji Chen be such a person? It’s even more ridiculous than the unspoken rules…

It’s terrifying to think about it.

Lin Ziran looked into his eyes, coughed lightly, and said: “You said you liked me a long time ago. When did you start to like me?”

Ji Chen fell silent but did not answer the question.

He looked deeply at the young man in front of him. This question, I want to wait for you to think about yourself…

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Lin Ziran was even more certain that there was something wrong. He stood up and turned his eyes away, saying: “I thought about it. Your injuries haven’t healed yet. You are not suitable for strenuous exercise for the time being. Let’s forget it…”

Ji Chen looked somewhat helpless as he looked at Lin Ziran’s evasive eyes… If he had known earlier, he should not have given this guy time to think. He was fine just now, but now he changed his mind again.

Although he wanted to continue directly, he couldn’t bear to force it. Ji Chen said in a gentle and doting voice: “Okay.”

Lin Ziran listened to his gentle and hoarse voice, and his heartbeat quickened. He almost wanted to regret it again, but when he thought of what he had just discovered, he couldn’t get over it.

Forget it, forget it.

Lin Ziran didn’t dare to look at Ji Chen and said softly: “I’m leaving.”

After saying that, he fled in disarray.

Lin Ziran returned to the room and closed the door.

He opened the photo again, looked left and right, and couldn’t understand why Ji Chen had a photo of him.

He found that he couldn’t even remember when he had taken this picture. This photo… didn’t look like a candid photo…

If it wasn’t secretly filmed, where did Ji Chen get it from?

Lin Ziran stared at it for more than ten minutes, sighed, put away his phone, and decided to go home tomorrow.

He had a vague feeling that maybe this would solve the mystery.

………………

Early the next morning, Lin Ziran went to Director Gu to ask for leave.

He said embarrassedly: “Director Gu, I have something to do, I want to take a leave to go home.”

He thought Director Gu would be unhappy, but he agreed very readily, laughing and saying: “You’ve been in the crew for more than a month, mom and dad must miss you, right? It just so happens that you don’t have many scenes these days, so it’s good to take some time to go back and see, go ahead.”

Lin Ziran said in surprise: “Thank you, Director Gu!”

Then he went back happily.

His home was local, and Lin Ziran arrived home in just over an hour.

Having not been home for nearly two months, Lin Ziran stood at the door and pushed it open with some anticipation.

The floor tiles of the courtyard were quite old. There was an osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and there were many flowers and plants planted around it. Mother Lin likes to play with these things when she is free. Lin Ziran stood in the familiar courtyard and saw a lazy cat lazily walking over and rubbing its neck against his ankle.

Lin Ziran picked it up and said with a grin: “Do you miss me?”

The cat didn’t bother to pay attention to him, and with a look of disgust on its face, it broke free from his arms and jumped away.

Lin Ziran snorted, then took out his phone, stared at the photo in it, and walked around the yard… Found it! The photo was taken from this angle!

Lin Zi then took a few steps back and frowned.

The other party must have been in the yard when he took this photo! Since this photo was not taken secretly…

Either Ji Chen knew him and took the photo himself, or he got the photo from someone else…

But Lin Ziran racked his brains and couldn’t figure out when he had taken the photo, nor could he figure out which friend had any connection with Ji Chen. In fact, he rarely brought friends back. Could it be that… this photo was taken by Ji Chen? But that would be even more unscientific…

Lin Ziran looked bewildered.

Ai.

While he was hesitating and struggling, he suddenly heard a surprised voice: “Ranran, why didn’t you tell me that you are coming back?”

Lin Ziran turned around and saw his mother coming in with vegetables.

Although Mother Lin is over 40, she looks very young, only in her early 30s, beautiful, gentle, and generous. She smiled and said: “Does the baby want to give mom a surprise?”

Lin Ziran looked a little embarrassed. He had been so busy that he forgot to go home. He suddenly felt a little guilty and smiled ingratiatingly: “Yes, I want to surprise you!”

Then he went to take the vegetables from his mother’s hand.

Mother Lin noticed his expression, but she didn’t point it out. She smiled and said: “It’s better to come back at the right time than to come back early. Today is the weekend, so let your dad cook you a big meal.”

Lin Ziran asked: “Is Dad home?”

Mother Lin said: “Here, you haven’t even entered the house?”

With that, the two of them walked in.

Father Lin was sitting in the study reading a book. When he looked up, he saw his wife and child had returned. He smiled happily and quickly stood up and asked: “Why did you come back together?”

Lin Ziran said: “I came back to see you guys. I just ran into mom at the door.”

Father Lin nodded and smiled: “Okay, I will cook for you personally at noon.”

Lin Ziran thought, you’re talking as if you’re not the one who usually cooks.

Father Lin is a university professor, and Mother Lin is a businesswoman. They are usually busy, so it is usually Father Lin who cooks at home.

The family of three had a great time eating and chatting.

Mother Lin asked with concern: “How are you doing on the set recently? Are you used to it?”

Lin Ziran said: “It’s fine. Everyone takes good care of me.”

Mother Lin smiled again and said: “By the way, are you in a relationship at school? If you have a boyfriend, bring him home and show him to us.”

Lin Ziran: “…No.”

Father Lin said seriously: “It’s okay to like boys, but Ranran, you can’t mess around outside.”

Lin Ziran: “…”

Mother Lin interrupted unhappily: “What nonsense are you talking about? Our Ranran is not that kind of person, right?” The last word was said to Lin Ziran.

Lin Ziran: “… Yeah.” Ahem,sure, I’m very self-disciplined in real life…

Maybe it’s because he hasn’t been back for too long, so his parents have a lot of questions.

Lin Ziran couldn’t bear it any longer, so he quickly finished his meal and left. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to his room.

He fell weakly onto the bed.

Looked up at the roof blankly.

Meow.

Huahua jumped in from the window and stepped on Lin Ziran’s stomach. Lin Ziran held her in his arms and rubbed her hard. Huahua couldn’t help showing her claws, which scared the cowardly human into letting go.

Lin Ziran let go of his hand and turned around, and saw Huahua jumping onto the table and kicking one of his books off.

Lin Ziran: …

He reached out to pick up the book on the ground, looked at it carefully, thought about it, and remembered something.

It seems that there was a web drama that was going to be filmed, and he and Zhuo Yu both wanted to give it a try. In order to perform better, they bought the original novel of the drama and read it. Of course, the result was that neither of them passed…

He didn’t take it seriously, so he forgot about it, but he didn’t expect the book to be at home.

He has read the book once and still remembers the general plot.

It’s a very bloody sadomasochistic love story!

FL and ML have been childhood sweethearts. FL has always had a crush on the ML. Later, they finally established a romantic relationship, but she met a green tea mistress who competed with her for ML. She also had a suitor who wanted to break them up. After a series of twists and turns, FL accidentally lost her memory.

After FL lost her memory, she met the affectionate male supporting role. The male supporting role showed her warmth and care and helped FL get over her injury. However, although FL had forgotten ML, she still liked him in her heart. After ML repented and came back, she got back together with him and abandoned the affectionate male supporting role.

When Lin Ziran read this book, he felt that the male supporting role was really miserable. As expected, the affectionate male supporting roles all had bad endings.

However, this is the normal script…

As for the affectionate male supporting role he played, it is hard to describe in words…

It’s impossible to follow the script!

Thinking about it makes him angry again.

Lin Ziran threw the book back and lay back on the bed, staring blankly at the roof… When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of a possibility and sat up with a somersault!

Amnesia!

The book also talks about amnesia!

This kind of ridiculous plot shouldn’t happen in reality, right…?

Although he thought it was unlikely, Lin Ziran felt that perhaps this was the key to the problem… What if Ji Chen had known him for a long time?

Maybe he and Ji Chen were originally in a relationship? That’s why he feels familiar with him. He feels familiar with Ji Chen not because of the game but because he is someone he already knows?

If that’s the case, then everything seems to make sense.

The only problem is…

Why doesn’t he remember that guy?

Lin Ziran scratched his head in annoyance. He stood up and walked around the room. His eyes suddenly fell on the desk. There was a fountain pen next to the notebook. When had he ever bought such a fountain pen?

Lin Ziran picked up the pen and looked at it. He looked carefully and saw the letters engraved on the end of the pen: j&l

He stared at the two letters, and his heart started beating fast.

Why does he have a pen like this? Why are there exactly these two letters? This can’t be just a coincidence, right?

Things can’t be so bloody…

Could it be that he really knew Ji Chen, but he just forgot about him? Could it be that there was a bloody love story between them! ?

Just like a novel?

No, no… If he really knew Ji Chen and Ji Chen had even come to his house and given him a gift, how could his parents not know? They acted as if nothing had happened and asked him when he would start a relationship?

When Lin Ziran thought of this, he could no longer bear it and could not take a nap. He rushed out, clutching the pen!

Father Lin and Mother Lin were sitting in the yard drinking tea and playing with birds, having a great time. When they saw Lin Ziran coming out, they smiled and said: “Why didn’t Ranran sleep?”

Lin Ziran asked with a straight face: “Do you know Ji Chen?”

Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other, and Mother Lin said: “I don’t know him. What’s wrong? Who is he?”

Lin Ziran was startled, very surprised that his mother didn’t know Ji Chen! Could it be that he guessed wrong?

Could it be… Could it be that he and Ji Chen were in a secret relationship! And he was dumped? He couldn’t be that miserable!

Lin Ziran rolled his eyes and said: “He’s a very famous star, and he’s also my senior from the same school. The drama he starred in a while ago is very popular…”

Mother Lin smiled and said: “Oh? Is he handsome?”

Lin Ziran: “…Handsome.”

Mother Lin immediately showed an interested expression: “Then I will watch the drama when I have time.”

Father Lin: “Ahem ahem ahem.”

Lin Ziran: “…”

He suddenly felt that his impulsive questioning was a mistake.

Since his parents don’t know him, it’s useless to ask… But all the signs show that Ji Chen and he had a relationship, he must have known him for a long time!

No, he can’t bear it anymore. He might as well just ask Ji Chen directly.

The evidence is irrefutable. Let’s see how he can argue!

Lin Ziran made up his mind. Just then, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Ji Chen. He picked up the phone immediately: “Hello?”

Ji Chen’s deep voice came: “Why did you suddenly ask for leave without telling me?”

Lin Ziran snorted in his heart, are we familiar with each other? Do I need to ask your permission to ask for leave? He said unhappily: “Do you have something to ask me?”

Ji Chen was startled and obviously noticed that his tone was wrong, and slowly said: “Are you unhappy?”

Of course! You big liar, you must be hiding something from me!

Lin Ziran took a deep breath and calmed down a little: “Come out, let’s meet.”

Then he said to his parents: “I have to go out for something.”

Mother Lin smiled meaningfully: “A friend is looking for you? Go ahead, and be careful on the road.”

She watched Lin Ziran leave, her lips raised with a playful look, and when she turned around, she saw her husband’s worried expression and couldn’t help but laugh: “What’s that expression on your face?”

Father Lin was more honest and asked in confusion: “Why do you say you don’t know Xiao Ji? If you say that, Ranran might start to think nonsense again. I see that he looks like he is going to cause trouble for Xiao Ji…”

Mother Lin smiled and covered her lips: “Aiya, two kids fighting and quarreling, what’s the trouble? Ah, this is youth~”

Father Lin was still worried: “What if there’s a misunderstanding? Aren’t you worried about them?”

Mother Lin said indifferently: “What’s there to worry about? At worst, they can break up and find someone better. Besides, what’s the point of us talking about something he doesn’t even remember? When children are in love, we adults shouldn’t interfere.”

Father Lin: “…”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Xiao Ji. It was really an unprovoked disaster! But then he thought there was nothing to sympathize with Ji Chen. His wife was very interested in him just now. Thinking of this, he felt a little unhappy. He felt that it was nothing for this kid to suffer a little.

Father Lin looked at Mother Lin aggrievedly, “… Um, you just said that Xiao Ji is very handsome and you want to watch his drama. Are you serious?”

He really cares more about this issue…

Mother Lin immediately said: “You were also very handsome when you were young.”

Father Lin said sternly: “What about now?”

Mother Lin: “You are such a rude person, and why don’t you worry about Ranran? Will he be bullied in the crew?”

Father Lin said calmly: “Haven’t you already greeted Old Gu? What’s the problem?”

Mother Lin: “…”

………………

Lin Ziran rushed out angrily and took a half-hour ride on the road. By the time he arrived at the park, he had almost calmed down.

Humph, he came here to question Ji Chen today, and he must not lose his momentum!

Lin Ziran calmed down and walked to Ji Chen, looking at him coldly.

He was too familiar with this plot. He had seen it too many times! Ji Chen must have dumped him, but seeing that he had lost his memory, he regretted it and came back to chase him!

Do you think I’m so easy to fool? !

Ji Chen had been here for a while. Seeing Lin Ziran’s serious expression, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried. Thinking of his voice on the phone before, he felt vaguely uneasy: “What do you want to tell me?”

Lin Ziran suddenly took out the pen from his pocket, opened his hand and showed it to Ji Chen, and said word by word: “Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

Ji Chen was slightly startled, then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low and hoarse voice: “You already…” remembered…

But before he finished speaking, Lin Ziran raised his eyebrows and said coldly: “Did you dump me?”

Ji Chen: “…”
