57 Chapter 57: Confession
When he got home, he turned on the light in the living room, and the moment the bright light poured down, An Zhizhi couldn't help but close his eyes.
Those thoughts that grew in the dark night evaporated in an instant under the illumination of this light, leaving no remnant. An knew that he was melancholy and happy, and threw himself on the sofa, buried his face in the soft pillow, and sighed softly.
"Let's go take a shower first, and then go to bed." Shen Yanru said.
An knew "um", and slowly turned his head to look at Shen Yanru who was standing in front of him.
Tonight for a formal occasion, she was dressed very solemnly, which was very different from when she was at home. Although I had seen it many times before, when I saw it again at this time, An Zhixiao still felt that her heartbeat was suddenly accelerating, and she was suddenly fascinated by her.
Afraid that Shen Yanru would find out the clues, she hurriedly turned her face back.
But it's really handsome, handsome, and good-looking! Why are there such good-looking people in the world? One more look is fatal! Holding his plopping little liver, An knew that he was a little helpless.
She didn't move for a long time, and Shen Yanru had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go take a bath first, you wait a while, okay?" β
"Okay." An Zhizhi immediately agreed.
When Shen Yanru went upstairs, she turned herself over and lay on her back on the sofa.
Like Shen Yanru, this is no doubt about it. She was attracted to Shen Yanru almost all the time, and her heart was beating chaotically.
Ann knew she didn't know how long she would be able to hide.
After all, they get along day and night, and every change may be detected by the other party. Shen Yanru is such a transparent person......
In fact, it should be made clear before it is discovered. At least the initiative is in his own hands, but what An knows is not the initiative, but the success rate! Will the success rate of taking the initiative increase? Apparently impossible. In that case, there is no use.
Maybe Shen Yanru will dislike her and alienate her at that time. Even if she doesn't, at least to avoid suspicion, I'll let her move out of here, right?
At that time, it will be impossible for the two of them to be so close again.
It's better to delay it for a day, and finally An knows the decision. Anyway, if Shen Yan didn't drive her, she wouldn't leave.
While she was thinking nonsense, Shen Yanru had already come out of the shower and stood on the stairs to call her. An Zhi hurriedly jumped up, drove away all those messy thoughts, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Shen Yanru not only washed herself, but also thoughtfully put the bath water for her.
In fact, most of the baths are showers, after all, it is more convenient and quick. But I'm so tired like today that soaking in hot water for a while will be very relieving.
The moment he lay in the bathtub, an idea suddenly popped up in An Zhizhi's mind: Shen Yanru should have also taken a bath in the bathtub, right?
Once this thought appeared, it was firmly rooted in An Zhizhi's mind and could not be dispersed.
Knowing that it shouldn't, An knows that it's like a child who has just discovered a new world, and wants to explore it with endless curiosity, but he can't stop it.
She couldn't help but think about it.
What would Shen Yanru look like when she took a bath?
This is a rather obscene idea, but once Ann knows that once it starts, it can't be stopped at all.
Obviously, he has lived here for so long, and it is not the first time to take a bath in the bathroom, but before today, An Zhizhi has never had this association. However, once she crossed that hurdle and gave birth to this idea, many things that she hadn't thought of before came to her mind.
An knew that he couldn't help but cover his face, feeling that he must be tired today.
In this way, she didn't even dare to soak in the bathtub, and ran out after washing in a hurry, forgetting to wipe her hair.
However, she forgot that there was only one Shen Yanru in the bathroom that she had imagined, and she couldn't do anything at all. But there was a living Shen Yanru in the bedroom.
Seeing her come out like this, Shen Yanru was a little surprised, and immediately beckoned to her, "Why don't you dry your hair?" Bring the hair dryer and I'll blow it for you. β
"No, no, no!" An knew as if he had been stimulated by something, and almost didn't jump up immediately, blurting out the words of refusal.
Shen Yanru was slightly stunned.
When I looked at her, I knew it was going to be bad. At this time, it was useless to say anything, so she had to honestly take out the hair dryer and hand it to Shen Yanru, and then took the initiative to sit down at the head of the bed, so that Shen Yanru could blow her hair for her.
Regarding her approach, Shen Yanru did not express any opinion. But he took the hair dryer and slowly blew her hair.
Ann's hair is fine and soft, but the hair quality is very good, dark and shiny, very soft. When I just washed my hair and put it down, it was like I had just done an ion perm and straightened it. Shen Yanru's movements were very light, grabbing his hair and blowing little by little, making An Zhi feel very comfortable.
But this comfort made Ann know that she was facing a great enemy, and she stiffened and sat straight at the head of the bed. Because she was facing away from Shen Yanru, she couldn't see anything, and she could only guess what posture she was in now from Shen Yanru's movements.
But although she couldn't see it, An knew that Shen Yanru was actually very close to her, so close that she seemed to be able to feel her body temperature.
- Although he knew that it was an illusion, An knew that he still felt as if he was burned by the temperature. It can only get stiffer and stiffer.
It's just that when Shen Yanru finished blowing her hair, put down the hair dryer, and said to her with a smile, "It's all right", An knew that he felt full of loss and regret in his heart. Is it over so soon?
When the temperature behind her receded, she suddenly felt a little cold.
An Zhizhi wrapped himself in the quilt.
Probably because of the unwillingness in his heart, he was still troubled, and he had obviously made a decision, but An Zhizhi looked at Shen Yanru, but he still couldn't help but want to test it. She couldn't suppress this kind of eager desire to try at all, so she could only let it play, "Sister, I have never asked you, after we met for the first time, why did you want me to wait for you?" β
Shen Yanru was slightly stunned, put down the book in his hand, turned his head to look at her, the expression on his face softened, with a little nostalgia, "I knew for the first time that I could sing such a good song without learning any foundation." I am amazed by your talent. I think if you can walk this path and have someone by your side to support you, maybe you will achieve even more in the future than I am. β
Hearing her praise herself like this, An Zhi was a little embarrassed, "It's too exaggerated, isn't it?" β
"Nope." Shen Yanru's voice was very gentle, but her tone was very firm, "You are better than me." β
As if she was afraid that An would not believe it, she said, "Actually, you are somewhat similar to me, but my own voice conditions are not as good as yours." If you can fully use your abilities, you will definitely be better than me. At that time...... she paused here for a moment, as if to consider the words, "I felt like I had come to the end of my path. β
An Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Weird, isn't it?" When Shen Yanru saw her expression, a little smile appeared on his face.
Time has passed, and now in retrospect, the predicament at that time can be passed with a smile, and naturally there is not much feeling when I mention it, "Yes, I am only twenty-four years old, but I have reached the peak of what I can achieve." Although everyone was praising me at the time, I even won the paperclip award that year, which symbolizes the highest achievement in pop music. But in fact, I realized that I might never be able to break through. β
"It's nothing else that binds me, it's my own talent. My path is only that long, so I can't go any further. β
It's a very mysterious feeling, but when you get to that point, you will feel it.
That's why Shen Yanru went to such a remote place for the first time to participate in the so-called charity activities.
During that time, she was actually at a loss and desperate in her heart, not knowing what else she could do in the future.
If there is no breakthrough in a year or two, no one may say anything, but it will be like that for five or ten years, or even a lifetime, it is more likely to regress, not to mention whether others can accept it, whether the fans will understand, even Shen Yanru himself will definitely not be willing.
The disadvantages of becoming famous at a young age are undoubtedly revealed in her. No matter how many honors she has received, if she continues like this, she can only go downhill, and every year is not as good as it is going to be, then the fans and media who once pursued him will only become more and more disappointed. When the time comes, all that awaits her will be reprimands and ridicule.
Jiang Lang is exhausted, and he is at the end of the road...... Perhaps there are even more ugly words.
That was the first time that Shen Yanru realized that he was actually just an ordinary person, perhaps more talented than others, but he was also too good to be limited. Although so many people call her a goddess, she is not a god after all.
It was at that time that Shen Yanru met An Zhizhi.
Even if he thinks about it until now, Shen Yanru still feels that it is like a fateful encounter.
"You're more talented than I am." She repeated the phrase again, "So I'd love to take you down this path." This is a little selfishness on my own, right? I hope you will inherit all that I have and continue on this path that has come to an end for me. Let me know what the next road will be like and what the scenery will be. β
Just like those masters in ancient times, when they reached a certain age or found that they might not be able to improve, they would accept more talented apprentices and teach them wholeheartedly, hoping that they would be able to go out of a completely different path from themselves.
It is a ritual of inheritance and continuity.
With this in mind, Shen Yanru made that agreement with An Zhizhi.
"Then ......" An Zhi hesitated for a moment, thinking that since he had asked, it would be better to ask it all at once, so he mustered up the courage to continue to ask, "Then why wait four years?" β
Why has a Zhang Tianjie appeared next to her in the past four years?
Because she is better than herself?
When Shen Yanru heard this question, his eyes moved slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "At that time, you were still young after all, just fifteen years old, and you didn't understand anything, let alone what it meant to your life to embark on this path. I hope to wait for you to get older and think it through. β
Although she cherishes An Zhi's talent, she must be more cautious because of this, so as not to regret this choice when An Zhizhi grows up in the future, "Besides, ......"
"Besides?" An knew that she suddenly stopped and didn't say anything, so he opened his mouth to ask.
Shen Yanru sighed softly, "Besides, I didn't know if I could be responsible for you at that time. β
Although she saw another path from An Zhixiao, she felt that she could change careers to become a producer, and personally promoted An Zhizhi out. But at that time, she didn't know if this road would work. If she's wrong, or if she can't, then An Zhizhi will be ruined.
Such a good talent and beautiful quality, no matter how cautious it should be.
Although Shen Yanru didn't say it explicitly, An Zhizhi had already heard what she meant from such a vague sentence.
She couldn't help but feel a storm in her heart. An knew that she had thought of many possibilities, some of them were good and some of them were bad, but no matter which one she had, she could not be so shocked by this.
Shen Yanru said that she was not sure whether she could be responsible, so she chose to let her wait for the time being. When she came four years later, it meant that she was sure she could be in charge.
How did she know for sure?
- Because she became popular with Zhang Tianjie among them, it proved that she can indeed go on the road of being a producer, and even walked quite successfully.
So, Zhang Tianjie is just one of her experimental subjects?
An knew that he didn't know what kind of mood he was in at the moment, sour, astringent, bitter, sweet, the whole person seemed to be unable to step on the ground, but floating in the air, a gust of wind could only fly in the direction of the wind, up and down, forward and backward, and never landed.
Is Shen Yan so painstaking and lonely just for himself?
For about four years, I didn't have any contact, just to be able to make my own choices freely, right?
If she forgets the so-called agreement and studies hard every day, then she will give up this plan. Even if she had put so much effort into it.
No wonder after signing a contract with Dongyu Media in his previous life, Shen Yanru still chose to terminate the contract with Zhang Tianjie. Becauseβthat was a decision she had made when she went to town.
But she didn't come to herself, probably so as not to bother herself, right?
Later, Shen Yanru was always cultivating newcomers, becoming popular one after another, but no one could stay by her side. She became the coveted producer for all newcomers, but she never found another person who met her requirements.
An Zhizhi suddenly felt that she was so shallow, and what she had failed was not only Shen Yanru's expectations, but also the road she had traveled in four years, more than a thousand days and nights.
Seeing that An knew that she had been stunned, Shen Yanru knew that she had understood what she meant.
She sighed softly, "I said that people are selfish. I myself had such a despicable time, although I made Zhang Tianjie popular, but I was indeed using him. So when she wanted to leave, I didn't think to stop her. β
An knew that she could hear the self-deprecation in her heart, perhaps for Zhang Tianjie, Shen Yanru was not completely indifferent in her heart. Even if they are strangers who have nothing to do with each other, after four years of getting along, there will always be some affection. Besides, Shen Yanru is not a person who can do such a thing, and it is also appropriate to feel guilty about Zhang Tianjie.
But even in such a situation, in order to protect herself, she still tore her face with Zhang Tianjie, and even said something like "I think 'Xiao Shen Yanru' is more suitable for her than 'Xiao Zhang Tianjie'", almost putting Zhang Tianjie's face on the ground.
An Zhi felt as if her heart was being soaked in sour water, and as if she had been grabbed by someone hard, she lowered her voice and shouted, "Sister! β
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanru heard that the emotion in her voice was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
An Zhizhi buried his head in the quilt, "Don't say that about yourself. β
If you are selfish and despicable, then what am I? I have failed you and hurt you, and I deserve to die!
The selfish and despicable person is actually me.
But An knew that she couldn't say it, because she was afraid that she would no longer be able to control her emotions as soon as she opened her mouth.
But Shen Yanru didn't notice her evasive posture, she was still asking with concern, and even tried to uncover the quilt on her body to check the situation, "What's wrong with you?" Am I talking too much? β
An Zhizhi shook his head desperately, and at the same time couldn't help but sniff.
As a result, it was useless to block the quilt now. Shen Yanru asked anxiously, "Are you crying?" β
"Not really!" has been discovered, An Zhizhi broke the jar and lifted the quilt, staring at Shen Yanru with red eyes, his teeth clenching his lips.
Although his eyes were red, he didn't cry after all. Shen Yanru breathed a sigh of relief, patted her lightly twice, and said in a low voice, "My fault, I shouldn't have told you this." β
She might be a demon too, right? Suddenly, he couldn't control his mouth and said anything.
In fact, what she did was nothing, and there was no need to say it to make Ann know sad. After all, when she did this, she didn't think about getting anything in return from anyone.
"Sister!" When An knew that when she heard her say this, she immediately figured out everything.
Shen Yanru rarely mentioned these things, probably because she didn't want her to know, and she didn't want her mood to be disturbed. She knows how to restrain herself too well, so she never shows anything wrong emotionally, and she doesn't even notice it from beginning to end.
Maybe in a place he didn't know, Shen Yanru would only do more.
She knows everything, she just doesn't say it.
Thinking like this, An Zhizhi couldn't hold back any longer, and threw himself into Shen Yanru's arms, "How can you do this?" She whimpered and cried as she spoke.
Why is there such a person as Shen Yanru in this world?
Shen Yanru originally wanted to push people away, but when An knew that she was crying like this, she was a little at a loss, and she was flustered for a moment before patting her back to comfort her, "Don't cry, don't be sad...... What the hell is going on here? β
She didn't feel that she had done anything great from the beginning to the end, and she didn't think that An knew that she needed to cry for herself, so her reaction was completely unexpected, and she didn't know how to coax people.
Since he was reborn and reunited with Shen Yanru, An Xiaoxiao didn't know how many emotions had accumulated in his heart. But she is not a child after all, and she knows that many things cannot be completely done according to her own heart, and as an adult, she can't vent at will. So she always demands that she perform well.
It's just that after hearing Shen Yanru say this today, An Zhizhi suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.
After crying for the first time, a thought of breaking the jar was born in my heart: it's already so embarrassing anyway, crying a little longer, crying a little uglier, it's nothing worse.
Thinking like this, the emotions that had accumulated before seemed to have finally found an outlet and poured out.
Shen Yanru whispered persuasion at the beginning, and when he found that the more he persuaded and the louder An knew how to cry, he had to shut up. But he still held the person in his arms and gently patted him to express comfort.
Later, An knew that his voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were red and swollen, so he slowly stopped crying. It's just that there is still inertia on the body after crying for a long time, and even if I want to stop, I still sobbed from time to time, looking very pitiful.
Shen Yanru really wanted to kiss her.
When An Zhizhi raised his head from Shen Yanru's arms, he felt very embarrassed.
Because the air conditioner was turned on in the room, the clothes on Shen Yanru's body were not thick, and now they were wet with tears, and it was obviously not comfortable to wear them.
Before today, An knew that there were so many tears in his eyes.
"Okay, take a sip of water, it's a little better." Shen Yanru took the thermos cup from the bedside, opened the lid and handed it to her.
An knew that he was holding the cup in both hands, sobbing from time to time, and his whole face was flushed because he had held his breath for too long when crying, which looked very cute. She took two sips of water and returned the cup to Shen Yanru.
Shen Yanru looked at her, "It's okay, don't be sad." Seeing that she couldn't open her eyes, she said, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep." I'm going to get ice cubes and I'm going to get you a compress on your eyes. β
"Don't go." An Zhizhi hurriedly grabbed her sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanru had no choice but to look back at her, the expression on her face was extremely soft.
An Zhizhi only felt his heart skip a beat, and a thought suddenly popped out of his mind, and he couldn't take it back.
She likes Shen Yanru so much, and now it seems that Shen Yanru is special enough to herself. If that's the case, why can't they be together?
If An Zhi still had doubts in her heart before, then she can now be sure that Shen Yanru will never have someone more important than herself in this life, and she will not let that kind of person appear. In that case, why not?
An Zhizhi's heart was pounding because of nervousness, and she didn't think about what to say for a while, so she could only hold on to Shen Yanru tightly and not let her leave.
Seeing that she didn't move, Shen Yanru thought that she was just suddenly scared, touched her head, and then pulled out her sleeves. An Zhi was startled, raised his head and met Shen Yanru's gaze.
Her heart tightened, and she blurted out the words that she couldn't say, "Sister, I like you!" β
