It was already past midnight when Xia Mo arrived. Ji Ran waited for him to come with his eyelids open. As soon as the doorbell rang, he jumped up to open the door. To his surprise, the person standing at the door looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes. The beard stubble came out, Ji Ran hurriedly pulled him in in surprise, and hugged him with both hands: "What's wrong with you?"

"fine."

"fine?"

"Did it disturb your sleep?"

"It's okay, we won't be filming tomorrow, there will be an announcement in the afternoon, you can get up later," pulling Xia Mo to sit down on the sofa, Ji Ran leaned over and stared at his eyes carefully, seeing that his eyes flickered as if avoiding her The meaning of sight, Ji Ran pinched both sides of his face with both hands in dissatisfaction, and forced him to look at himself: "Where have you been these few days? Why didn't you call me? Don't say it's okay."

"..." Xia Mo hesitated for a while and said: "...I went to the United States once, and I went back when I had something to do at home."

"Going to the United States?" Ji Ran was surprised when he heard the words: "Did you go to the United States and come back in three days?"... No wonder you are so sloppy and so tired.

"Well," Xia Mo reached out and rubbed his head: "don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Of course Ji Ran didn't believe this. Xia Mo made it clear that he didn't want to say it, but he guessed it without saying it. A few days ago, he saw news on the Internet that Zhang Jiarui had returned to the United States, and Xia Mo was suddenly called back by his family. Obviously It was Zhang Jiarui who went to ask his parents for help, and Xia Mo was embarrassed by his parents again.

The matter was actually similar to Ji Ran's guess. Xia Mo's mother was not in good health, and this time she called him back with the excuse of being sick and hospitalized, but when he went there, he found that it was not the case at all. It was Zhang Jiarui and his parents. Said that he wanted to break up with her and refused to marry her. Xia Mo originally didn't want to tell his parents about Ji Ran so quickly, but after being disturbed by Zhang Jiarui, he just said it all. Of course, his parents heard him I fell in love with a man and was so angry because of this refusal to get married. I didn’t agree with anything. Xia Mo, who had been taciturn and obedient to his parents for so many years, contradicted them for the first time. After breaking up badly, he flew back on the same day Come, and after getting off the plane, I drove directly to Ji Ran's place, that's why I looked so tired.

Seeing Ji Ran's dissatisfaction, Xia Mo changed the subject and asked him, "What's the announcement tomorrow?"

"Cutting the ribbon, you forgot about the perfume ad that you accepted for me before? Tomorrow, his new store will open. Go cut the ribbon. Next week, I will go to Hong Kong to shoot an ad. I will be there for about three days."

Xia Mo was really busy and confused during this time, but he forgot about it. Under his strong recommendation, Ji Ran successfully accepted the Asian endorsement of the European luxury perfume advertisement. After the announcement, he will go to shoot commercials and still photos. Being able to accept this level of endorsement will undoubtedly greatly improve Ji Ran's image positioning. No matter how many people are jealous, he will not be jealous.

"Won't filming be delayed?"

"I don't have many roles, and I asked Director Deng for leave." He hasn't been on the set every day for more than a month, and occasionally he goes out to make announcements on the last show to promote the new album, and it won't delay anything. After all, he It's just a male third.

Xia Mo nodded and stood up: "Go to sleep first, I'll take a shower and go to sleep."

Ji Ran saw that he was not in good spirits, so after thinking about it, he followed him and hugged him, and softened his voice: "Xiao Mo... If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me..."

Xia Mo patted his hand: "It's okay, don't think about it, go to sleep."

"..."

Ji Ran was a little depressed. In fact, he hoped that Xia Mo would tell the story, instead of treating him as a child and someone who needed his protection to deliberately hide it from him, but obviously, Xia Mo didn't think so.

******

When Ji Ran woke up the next morning, Xia Mo was already up, sitting next to him with his notebook in his arms, Ji Ran stretched himself, glanced at the screen casually, saw that he was browsing his news, and suddenly remembered The scandal has not been explained to him. Xia Mo may not know when he went to the United States these days, but he just saw it...

"Xiaomo..."

Xia Mo, who was frowning, turned his head and looked at him suspiciously. Ji Ran pounced on him, rubbed his furry head in his arms, and said with a crackling voice, "It was all arranged by Brother Say. I was forced to go to Liangshan to be a prostitute." ..."

Xia Mo pressed his forehead and pushed him away: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face, there is oil and eye gum on your face."

Ji Ran was about to cry: "...you despise me."

Xia Mo bent down, pinched his jaw with one hand, and bit his lip with his head down.

After messing around and pushing away, finally rubbing the nose of Ji Ran who was dazed by his kiss, Xia Mo softened his voice: "Hey, go wash up, I'll go with you later."

It wasn't until I sat in the hotel restaurant with Xia Mo that Ji Ran came back to his senses in a daze. Xia Mo didn't seem to care about his messy scandals, and carefully looked at the man opposite him looking down at the menu, hesitating for a moment , asked: "Are you planning to go with me? There are many media reporters who were seen..."

Xia Mo looked up at him: "are you afraid?"

"what?"

"Being photographed by reporters with me."

Ji Ran didn't take it seriously: "What do I have to be afraid of?"

Xia Mo didn't say anything, and called the waiter to order, and ate breakfast and Chinese food together.

Say, who came to pick up people after going out for business in the morning, almost went crazy seeing Xia Mo appearing together, Ji Ran patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Xiao Mo will stay away and won't let those reporters see him."

...Is it necessary to be so lingering?Of course, Say endured this and forgot it.

After the car set off, Chen An, who followed Ji Ran out to make an announcement for the first time, handed two bottles of water to Ji Ran and Xia Mo, and asked them if they wanted it. Xia Mo took a bottle and opened it and handed it to Ji Ran. Chen An was a little embarrassed Putting the other bottle back, smiled, and said to Ji Ran: "Brother Ji is lucky to be endorsed by such a big-name perfume."

"It's thanks to Boss Xia." Ji Ran hooked Xia Mo's arm happily, but Xia Mo didn't bother to talk to him.

Chen An's eyes turned around between the two of them, and sat aside silently.

Apart from Ji Ran and a famous actress who came to participate in today's ribbon-cutting event, this is the second branch of this French luxury store in Beijing. The opening ceremony was very grand, and the Asian director of the store came in person. The major media came to hear the news, as well as the infatuated fans who got the news early in the morning and stayed outside. It was very lively.

Surrounded by a large number of reporters, Ji Ran walked into the uniquely decorated boutique, smiled and had a warm French-style kiss with the lady-like female director, and then started a conversation with her in very fluent and standard French. After saying hello, the generous and decent posture overshadowed the limelight of another actress.

Xia Mo didn't get out of the car, the car parked across the street and could almost see the situation in the store, Ji Ran responded calmly like an elegant nobleman.

Xia Mo looked at it and smiled. Ji Ran's tutor was probably much better than his since he was a child, and it was impossible for him to deal with such an occasion.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner according to the established steps, and then it was the announcement of the endorsement, because the rumors had already been released before, and now it is only confirmed, which is not too surprising. All the reporters are gearing up and waiting for the final announcement. media interview time.

More than a dozen microphones were all stretched out in front of Ji Ran, except for the first two who asked about endorsement-related content, the rest were all gossip about his views on the scandalous incidents that were raging. Ji Ran was prepared early in the morning to play Tai Chi with them. , Neither admitting nor denying, let everyone make up their own minds.

The reporters were slightly dissatisfied with his answer, and some were aggressive and even hit his mouth with the microphone, and asked loudly: "What do you think about the incident where someone went to the set to make trouble and pour alcohol? There are rumors that it was Zhang Jiarui. Is it true that you are intervening between Zhang Jiarui and his fiancé because you are dissatisfied? In the live video that was captured at that time, the boss of Yaoxing was also protecting you with his body. Is it true that it is as rumored by the outside world? So you snatched Zhang Jiarui's fiancé? Do you have any response to the rumors on the Internet that you were taken care of by the boss of Yaoxing and willing to be a male mistress?"

Xia Mo couldn't hear what the reporters were asking, but seeing Ji Ran's slight frown from a distance, he guessed that someone was embarrassing him again. Say, who was outside the crowd, broke into a cold sweat. He knew that these people would Asked, I didn’t expect the question to be so straightforward, so I stepped forward, pulled Ji Ran over, and said, “That’s all for today’s interview, Ji Ran still has to catch up with the announcement, please bear with me”, and then in He was ready to leave under the lead of the bodyguard.

The reporter who didn't get the answer was not reconciled, and caught up and yelled: "Why do you avoid the question? Is it true that you are gay and a mistress who stole someone else's fiance and have no face to answer these questions?"

The reporter was a tall and burly man. In the chaos, he stretched out the microphone in his hand and almost hit Ji Ran's eyes this time. Ji Ran subconsciously took a step back to avoid it, followed by the crowd behind him. The crowd of female reporters was so crowded that he couldn't stand still and fell to the ground because of his backward movement. The screams rang out and the scene was completely chaotic. Seeing this, the male reporter became more excited and shouted loudly: "Ji Did Little Heavenly King get poked so hard that he couldn't get off the stage and hit the reporter?!"

It's so good at telling nonsense, Say subconsciously grabbed Ji Ran's wrist, worried that this ancestor would really do something disregarding his image if he lost his temper, although in fact he really wanted to beat that bastard a meal.

Xia Mo saw the commotion in the store from a distance, especially when he saw that Ji Ran was trapped in the crowd and almost fell to the ground, so he couldn't sit still. The moment he entered the car door, he hesitated again. If he continues like this, the matter between him and Ji Ran will be settled, and he can hardly imagine how many endless insults and attacks he will bring to Ji Ran...

Ji Ran's patience had indeed reached its limit, there was no more smile on his face, and the other party was still yelling non-stop, he stopped, turned slowly to face the person, and said coldly: "The clean is cleared, What does my business have to do with you?"

"So is it true that you and Zhang Jiarui robbed men?"

"You should ask her instead of chasing after me. I have nothing to explain to you."

After finishing speaking, Ji Ran signaled the bodyguards to open the way, ignored whoever asked him, and left without looking back.
