What is your choice? ?

Chapter 113

You have chosen [A. Go forward and slap him]

———————————————————————————————————

You knew that maybe you shouldn't be so impulsive, but when you came back to your senses, Director Jiang's face had been slapped to the side by you, and clear applause echoed in your ears.

The set suddenly fell silent, until director Jiang smiled and turned his head lightly to glance at the staff who were stunned in place on the set, then everyone hurriedly looked away, pretending that they didn't see anything.So the studio once again resumed its original excitement, but now there were a little more inaudible discussions.

You watched Director Jiang raise his eyelids and lightly set his eyes on your face, and the muscles all over his body tensed.But to your surprise, Director Jiang's attitude is extremely calm. If his left cheek wasn't flushed, you might even think that the slap just now was just your own illusion.

You couldn't figure out what Director Jiang was thinking, and the previous anger was vented a lot through that slap, so after you calmed down, you took the initiative to ask Director Jiang why he did this.

Director Jiang hooked the corners of his lips, stared at you for a long time, but remained silent for a long time.There is speculation, interest and regret in that straightforward line of sight, but there is no anger alone, which makes you a little restless for no reason.At that moment, you even had a strange illusion, as if your positions had been reversed, and Director Jiang, who you slapped, was the leader of this confrontation.

"There is no reason, it's just my bad taste." After a while, Director Jiang sighed softly, his eyes still staring at you without blinking, with a smile on his face, "In addition to apologizing to you, the slap just now should be Enough to offset my mistakes."

You didn't expect Director Jiang to be so brazen, and you laughed angrily.

"What if I don't say enough?" You suppressed the depression in your heart and asked calmly.You subconsciously touched the uneven layered hair that was cut to the chin, and a sense of loss suddenly rushed into your heart.

"Otherwise?" Director Jiang also smiled, "Maybe you can stop acting now and leave regrets for my movie, will this satisfy you?"

You looked at the casual smile on Director Jiang's face, and the anger that had been quiet for a while rekindled again.Your chest kept rising and falling, and you almost raised your hand again. You had to keep pinching the palm of your hand with your nails to suppress the desire for violence.

It's too late to withdraw now, he's just pissing you off now.You closed your eyes, took a few breaths, glanced coldly at Director Jiang, then turned and left without hesitation.

The moment you turned around, Director Jiang's voice sounded leisurely from behind you: "When did you become so irritable? You didn't look like you just now."

Your footsteps faltered slightly, but you didn't turn around to look at Director Jiang, and walked to the lounge ahead.You look calm, but your heart is turbulent, and the clothes behind you are soaked in cold sweat.

Director Jiang's words woke you up like a mallet—you have never been irritable and irritable, let alone lose your mind just because of a little provocation.

What you did just now was too unlike you.

Everything that happened just now was like an insignificant episode. After the rest time passed, you still came to the set according to the instructions of the staff, preparing to appear in the last scene of the movie.

Since this scene is the dream of "Xia", in order to echo the tragic ending of "Autumn", the whole scene was shot on location, and artificial rainfall was added to make the whole picture even more bleak.When you came to the location, the staff was still adjusting the equipment, so you moved aside and stood with Yuan Yuan who came to the set early.

Ever since Yuan Yuan revealed his identity to you, his attitude towards you has become colder.Although he still does his best at work, he will never take the initiative to greet you as usual, talk to you in his spare time, let alone greet you with a smile.

But sometimes, you will catch Yuan Yuan's seemingly unintentional eyes. Whenever you look sideways, he will look away lightly, as if the person staring at you is not him.

You can't understand Yuan Yuan, and you have an unknown sense of indebtedness to him, so your confusion and guilt turn into restraint, making you even more reluctant to confront him head-on.Fortunately, Yuan Yuan didn't intend to take the initiative to break the deadlock. He kept a distance from you and never spoke to you outside of work.

The scene where you had a good conversation before, talked to each other, and finally fought against each other, like an unrealistic dream, dissipated in time, and finally turned into nothing.

You thought that Yuan Yuan would treat you as nothing like before, but you didn't expect him to speak up, contrary to his usual silent attitude.

"You don't seem to intend to pursue the past." Yuan Yuan looked straight ahead, and there was no emotion in his voice.

You were taken aback for a moment, and then refuted aloud, saying that you didn't mean that.

"It's not that you will tell me everything after the movie is finished..." You lowered your eyes and sighed softly, "To be honest, I can't understand why you did this. I have already told you very clearly that I want to To know the truth, you also said that only telling me things beyond the scope of cognition will lead to the collapse of the world, so why don't you tell the things in reality to me who already understand that this world is not real?"

"Because you will never understand until I tell you at the last moment," Yuan Yuan sneered, "To be precise, I don't know if you will understand."

The wind picked up, and people not far away rained a burst of water vapor with the oncoming wind.You wrapped the coat tightly around your body, brushing away the broken hair stuck to your face.You can't help raising your head, it's the first time after many days that you seriously look at Yuan Yuan outside of the scene.

Through the disheveled hair, you suddenly see a bit of loneliness from his angular jaw, which is a kind of indifference that you are used to, and inadvertently reveals sporadic confusion.But when you blink, that rare fragility disappears again, his eyes are as cold and silent as ever, his face is sharp, exuding a kind of unruliness that can reach thousands of miles.

Putting aside the friendly skin called "Yuan Yuan", his heart is full of gloom and arrogance. The unfriendly emotions you saw just now are just your illusion.

Yuan Yuan turned his head sideways, and looked at you with downcast eyes.He looked at you condescendingly, with a faint expression on his face, which made you subconsciously slow down your breathing.At this moment, you saw him raise his elbow, and his fingers twirled the ends of the messy hair that fell on your cheek.

"This hair was picked by Ye Wenxin for you." Yuan Yuan's voice was calm, his face expressionless.

You were a little surprised, and asked him how he knew, after all, you never mentioned this matter.So Yuan Yuan let go of his fingers and told you that he had witnessed everything when he was in the mirror before, so he naturally knew that it was Ye Zi who extended the hair for you.

You froze, realizing that since you came into this world, he has been perched in the mirror, watching everything that happened to you.It wasn't until you were locked in a small dark room, and Yuan Yuan walked out of the glass window and kissed you, that his consciousness was liberated from the mirror, and your mirror phobia disappeared...

When you think of this, you suddenly feel something subtly wrong—something else seemed to happen to Yuan Yuan before he walked out of the glass window.

At that time, you seemed to be vacillating between sacrificing yourself or sacrificing your netizens. Just when you made up your mind to abide by the moral bottom line, a consciousness suddenly took control of your body, causing you to lose control of your words and deeds in an instant.

Thinking about it now, both the tone of "you" and the demeanor of the whole body are somewhat familiar - that is clearly Yuan Yuan, who temporarily took over your body before you made a choice.

But why did he suddenly take over your body?

If it is so easy to replace your consciousness, with his personality, how could he be willing to be locked in the mirror?

After taking over your body, why did he leave?

At that time, after he left your body, why was he not locked back in the mirror again, but instead completely left the world in the mirror and obtained the identity of "Yuan Yuan"?

……

Your mind is full of doubts, but what makes you even more overwhelmed is that there were so many doubts at that time, but you accepted everything that happened to you with peace of mind, and never thought deeply about the meaning behind it.

You suddenly feel chills behind you—what kind of secrets are hidden in that unknown subconscious?

Apart from everything Yuan Yuan told you, and the blurred memories of reality, what else do you not know?

You feel as if there is a pair of unknown hands controlling everything in the dark. These hands are not the Yuan Yuan who knows the truth, nor the world consciousness with an unknown position. They are more hidden and indifferent...

Just then, you suddenly felt a stabbing pain on your right cheek.You hissed in pain, and your slack eyes suddenly focused.You raised your head in bewilderment, Yuan Yuan saw you come back to his senses, calmly withdrew the hand that pinched your cheek just now.

"Come back to your senses?" He curled his lips and said in a disdainful tone, "I gave you so many hints before, but you didn't react at all, and I had to explain in the end, this time I didn't say anything, but your reaction was so big ..."

"Do you know that if you continue to think about it just now, the world will collapse?"

You shook your head in a daze, Yuan Yuan rested his forehead and sighed, and glanced at you sleepily.

"Now is not the time, there are too many unstable factors to be eliminated one by one. I hope this world can collapse, but not in the form of your psychological defense collapse." Yuan Yuan said, provoking your chin with his knuckles, calmly There was some aggressiveness in Wu Lan's eyes for no reason.

"What I want is that you are willing to choose to stand by my side after knowing everything."

The setup of the set was completed in a short while, and you put aside the coat you were wearing, and stepped into the rainy grass in a tattered skirt.

In the last scene, you don't need to do any extra actions, just lie quietly in the rain-soaked grass like a dead body.

You strike a pose and lie on the ground with your eyes closed.The artificial rain hits your face, neck and any exposed skin, and within a few seconds, you get goosebumps and your lips tremble.

Director Jiang's instruction to keep you stiff came from a distance, so you pinched your palms hard and distracted your attention by recalling the conversation with Yuan Yuan just now.

The world collapse mentioned by Yuanyuan is not unfamiliar to you - he mentioned it in the previous conversation, and the world consciousness once reminded you not to think too much after you left the small dark room, lest the world collapse.

Now when you learn the origin of this world from Yuan Yuan, you understand the meaning of world consciousness at that time.If it was you at that time, after being told that everything was just the world in the book, but the real you would have died long ago, you would definitely not be able to bear this fact.

——So Yuan Yuan must think that what you think of next will make you unbearable, so he interrupts your thoughts.

When you think about this, stop thinking about it.So far, Yuan Yuan has not caused any harm to you, but has lifted layers of veils covering the truth for you. You think that although he has no good feelings for you, he will not harm you.You don't want to risk yourself, so you follow his lead and stop there and think back to the conversation after that.

Yuan Yuan told you that Director Jiang knew about Ye Zi receiving the hair for you. This was done on purpose, not a harmless joke.

You didn't ask Yuan Yuan why he knew about this, because after he mentioned it, you immediately remembered the conversation with Director Jiang when Ye Zi came to pick you up from Director Jiang's apartment on the eve of the filming. At that time, you were separated from them by a wall , I didn't hear what they said clearly, but Director Jiang probably learned about your sending and receiving from that conversation.

What makes you more certain about this is what Director Jiang said to you after talking with Ye Zi, and the look he cast on your hair.

—He must have been thinking about it since then.

You can't help but feel helpless, feeling speechless at Director Jiang's childish behavior.You think he must have vented his personal grievances with Ye Zi in this way, after all, this head of hair was hand-extended by Ye Zi, and Ye Zi did every care.

This well-maintained hair is Ye Zi's hard work, and destroying Ye Zi's hard work is tantamount to taking revenge on himself.

After seeing through Director Jiang's true intentions, you suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If Director Jiang cut your hair because of Ye Zi, then your responsibility will be relatively reduced.

You thought this topic had come to an end, but you didn't expect Yuan Yuan to ask your opinion on this matter after telling the whole story.You do not suspect him, telling Yuan Yuan this made you feel a little shameful, and that he might be easier to let go when you explained to Ye Zi.Yuan Yuan smiled when he heard your answer, this time the smile was not mixed with the slightest haze.

"Anxin? Aren't you even more angry, angry that Director Jiang cut off your chance to meet your boyfriend like this? Or suspect that there is some other relationship between the two of them?"

"Aren't you in love with him?"

Looking at Yuan Yuan's playful smile, you were stunned, until you were reminded by the staff that it was time to enter the set, and you finally came back to your senses.

The picture of getting along with Ye Zi flashed in front of your eyes, remembering his caring, remembering your own hesitation...

At that moment, you finally admitted your heart - you don't love Ye Zi that much.

You thank Ye Zi for his company, enlightenment, and tenderness, but your feelings for him are at best touched and moved by your sensibility.

This kind of feeling is not love, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to repay his love with the same emotion.

All along, you have always used your inexperience and slowness as an excuse to escape your sincerity.But the fact is that you don't love him, and the relationship may have been wrong from the very beginning.

It is not easy to completely affirm this vague idea, Ye Zi is really an impeccable boyfriend who can satisfy everyone's vanity and bring people the most meticulous care.But you also understand that since you can't respond to the same emotion, the tenderness of Attachment Leaf becomes vile and shameless.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and this relationship can no longer continue.This idea popped up the moment your conversation with Yuan Yuan ended, and it continued to linger in your ears.

You heard the sound of shoes stepping on the grass in the distance, and you knew that Yuan Yuan had finally entered the arena.

After a while, the sound of footsteps stopped less than half a meter away from you.You heard a muffled whimper from Yuan Yuan's throat, and then the grass beside him sank slightly, and he actually knelt down.

The cold rain hit your face, as if trying to get into your closed eyes and slip into the gap between your tight lips.

A cold hand gently picked up your hand hanging by your side, and he buried his face on the back of your hand. The skin on the back of your hand can feel his straight nose bridge, unstable breath, and trembling breath. Lips, everything is cold and wet.

Your heart suddenly calmed down, and your body, which was so cold that it was almost trembling, turned into a real corpse, motionless.

You feel those lips against the back of your hands trembling more and more intensely, choking nonsense from your mouth, but your heart is still as calm as water.It wasn't until he tightly grasped your wrist and the other hand pinched your chin suddenly that you realized what he was going to do next belatedly.

He kissed you—a wet, soundless, cold kiss.

You were shocked the moment Yuan Yuan kissed you, but it didn't take long for you to realize that he is not Yuan Yuan now, but the "Xia" in the movie, and the "Qiu" who kissed the dead "Qiu" because of remorse and longing is another It's nothing more than normal.

The scene didn't last long, and soon Director Jiang's voice came from the opposite side calling for a card, and the whole movie ended.

You open your eyes, sit up from the grass, and all you see are the bright smiles on the faces of the staff.You just sat on the ground in a daze, staring at everything in front of you without moving, and you heard the conversation about which restaurant the finale banquet will be held in your ears.

Looking at the excitement in front of you, you suddenly feel a little cold on your body, and the touch of the skirt sticking to your skin is more real than anything else.You saw a barrier between you and the crowd—they ran around telling each other with joyful faces, and their clothes were dry and tidy, while you looked dazed, sitting on the ground soaked and unable to move.

They are different from you.

At this moment, a coat suddenly draped over your shoulders, and when you looked up, you saw Yuan Yuan frowning, with irritability written all over his face.

"Your real personality is really annoying. If you don't pay attention, you start to be sentimental." He curled his lips and threw the towel in his hand towards you roughly.

You caught the clean and soft towel in embarrassment, while wrapping your wet clothes, you looked seriously at Yuan Yuan who was looking down at you: "My real character? Do I still have a false character?"

Yuan Yuan squatted down, his face was very close, and you didn't look away, looking at him quietly.During the few seconds that you meet his eyes, you can't help but guess the emotion in his eyes.You have looked closely at many people, and in those different pairs of eyes, you have seen many different emotions, including ridicule, relief, sadness, and lust.

But you can't see any emotion in the eyes in front of you.He seems to be just looking at you, through your thick skin, using a kind of non-mechanistic gaze to probe your essence - he looks at you, but there are many layers of meaning beyond the meaning of simply looking at each other.

Yuan Yuan squinted his eyes, and a smile brimming with interest crossed his face, so his still face suddenly returned to life.

"Of course," Yuan Yuan said, "You are the real character now, the empty-headed idiot who blushed whenever he met a man in the past is simply a fake."

"In this way, although your real character is a little troublesome, it's not disgusting anyway. Do you know how many times I felt like throwing up when I saw you getting along with those men in the mirror?"

You were not fooled by Yuan Yuan's harsh words. The reason why you were afraid of him before was because his existence was completely unknown.Now you understand why Yuan Yuan can't understand you, and you also know that he didn't treat you with the greatest malice.At most, he stabs you a few words, but it won't bring you actual harm.

As for the time when he stabbed your throat with a toothbrush, you think it was because you wanted to actively split your personality at the time, and this decision made him feel threatened.

It's just that you don't have a clue as to why he feels that way.You just feel that relying on Yuanyuan's dissatisfaction with his own situation and his character, helping you understand the truth will never be just out of kindness.

——He needs your help, that's why he guides you so patiently.

You laughed, feeling a little lost in your heart, but you couldn't tell the reason.You raised your head, quietly looked at the busy crowd not far away, and spoke softly.

"What is the real me like?"

Yuan Yuan snorted lightly: "You will know soon. Maybe... you have slowly shed that silly and sweet false shell before, haven't you?"

"One step away," his voice suddenly became serious, "one step away..."

Yuan Yuan's voice gradually dissipated into the air, you turned your head to look at him, and caught a glimpse of his clenched fist hanging by your side, and immediately understood that his senselessness and composure might just be a disguise—he, like you, cannot control the future direction.

Although your interest is not high, you still went to the wrap-up banquet in the evening.

Originally, the crew had a drinking party, but when you looked at the time, you found that it was already ten o'clock in the evening, so you declined everyone's kindness.

You looked at the familiar or unfamiliar faces politely expressing reluctance to you, with a frozen expression on your face.At that moment, you suddenly feel physically and mentally exhausted, and the sense of absurdity that the world is not real reaches its highest point in an instant.

Your gaze crosses the bustling crowd, and you meet Director Jiang who is holding a wine glass and smiling.Seeing your undisguised gaze, he raised his glass and shook it, and mouthed "good night" to you with a smile on his face.You turned your head indifferently and stopped looking at him.

You don't know if it's because the movie is finally wrapped, but you're a lot more emotional today than usual.

Your mind was filled with noisy thoughts, until you stood at the door of Ye Zi’s house, reaching out to take out the keys in your pocket, that you suddenly came back from the fugue.

The moment the key was inserted into the keyhole, you suddenly trembled, and your fingers fell on the short hair beside your ear.Before the crew set off for the restaurant where the finale was held, you asked the makeup artist to trim your uneven hair. Although your hair still looks a little out of place, it is neatly tidied up.

Your heart is pounding and your heart is restless.You don't know how Ye Zi will react when you see your hair cut to your chin—you have never seen Ye Zi express any negative emotions, and naturally you can't imagine his angry or sad expression.

Perhaps, he will simply pretend not to care, and even comfort you in turn?You speculated optimistically, while mustering up your courage, you pushed open the door in front of you.

You step into the house and put your shoes neatly on the shoe cabinet.The lights in the hall are all turned off, only the living room is still on. From your perspective, you can see half of the TV that is playing the news.

You took a few steps towards the living room, before you could fully enter the orange halo under the chandelier in the living room, Ye Zi sensed your presence and stood up from the sofa.

But he didn't look at you, his eyes were firmly stuck to the hair on both sides of your cheeks.

You couldn't help but moved back half a step, and whispered his name to Ye Zi.He stared at your hair for a long time, and then slowly turned his gaze back to your face after a long while, his calm eyes were more silent than usual.

"Who did it?" Ye Zi asked you with a hoarse voice.

You froze for a moment, explaining that this was the last scene cut by the rival actor.You said that you didn't know about this plot in advance, and that Director Jiang ordered the other party to cut your hair during filming without your knowledge.

Ye Zi lowered her eyes, put her hands on her forehead, and slowly sat back on the sofa.The fingertips he pressed on his forehead were so hard that they turned pale, most of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his whole body exuded a tired and helpless aura.

Looking at this scene, your heart shrank, and you suddenly blamed yourself.When the actor grabbed your hair, you already had a faint sense that something was wrong.If you interrupt the play decisively, then nothing will happen, and you and Ye Zi will not feel uncomfortable because of the current situation.

You sighed, walked to Ye Zi and gently placed your hand on his shoulder, and after organizing your words several times in your heart, you gently explained to him.

"I know you take great care of my hair, and I feel very sad when this happens. But everything has already happened, and there is nothing we can do." When you said this, you still lowered your head, Ye Zi, who was motionless, felt anxious and added another sentence.

"If you like me with long hair, then at worst I'll get it done again, or if I wear long hair..."

Before you could finish speaking, Ye Zi moved her shoulders, and her downcast eyes turned sideways towards you.His hand is still on his forehead, but those eyes that were originally hidden in the shadows are suddenly exposed to your sight, and the calm eyes are as lifeless as a cold pool.

You shuddered spontaneously, and couldn't help but step back, but you didn't know that there was a sofa behind you, so you staggered and fell into the soft sofa.

"Big deal, big deal..." Ye Zi leisurely repeated the phrases in your sentence, stood up abruptly, and looked down at you condescendingly, "You don't think this matter matters."

He paused, and repeated it expressionlessly, with a flat tone.

"You don't think it matters."

You subconsciously shook your head, but before you could speak, a cold, sweaty hand grabbed your neck.

"You don't think this matter matters." Ye Zi stared at you without blinking, with a calm expression, and the fingers that locked your throat tightened a bit.

Your heart was turbulent, and you couldn't believe the hand holding your neck, but his hand was still steady and strong, and he increased his strength methodically.

Ye Zi looked at the short hair by the side of the ear, and there was a very strong sorrow in his eyes. That kind of mourning made you palpitate, and your body convulsed due to the gradual lack of oxygen, and at the same time, your whole body felt cold.

——Because there is not only sadness in his eyes, but also mad love.

You feel ridiculous, but you can't deny the idea anyway.Ye Zi's eyes staring at your hair are too lingering, it is a hundred times hotter than the eyes he looked at you when he confessed his love to you.

What he loves is never you, but the long hair he put on for you with his own hands.

As your consciousness becomes more and more blurred, the scene when you asked for a kiss from the unfamiliar Ye Zi suddenly flashed in your mind. He clearly kissed the tip of your hair first and then kissed your lips...

He doesn't want you not because he understands your feelings, but because his love for you is based on this lock of hair.

It's so ridiculous, the idea popped into your head when you lost consciousness, and you would even laugh out loud if you hadn't already been exhausted.

——It's too ridiculous, whether it's falling in love with the leaves of your hair, or you who haven't woken up until now.

When you become conscious again, you find yourself in that familiar pure white space.

You are not surprised, because you cannot see yourself in the eyes of the leaves.He has long regarded you as nothing, and your death was doomed from the moment your hair was cut.

You haven't died for a long time, and you haven't come to this space of death retrospect, and it's still a little unaccustomed to come back here again.

You quietly wait for the voice of world consciousness to sound, but for some reason, it has been delayed.Just when you were in a hurry, you saw a spot of light in the distance, which was extremely abrupt in the vast blank.

Your heart skipped a beat, and your consciousness couldn't help drifting towards that spot of light.You thought it was a light, or an exit, but never thought it was a laptop screen.

A chill suddenly surged from the depths of your soul. If you were not physically present at this time, you would be trembling all over and dripping with cold sweat.

But no matter how bad your premonition is, you can't take your eyes off the display screen.You moved your conscious body forward again, and the lines on the screen immediately caught your eyes...

……

You opened your eyes, and the busy staff came into view.Your gaze turned to the side, and as expected, you saw Director Jiang who was resting.

That's right, you're back on the set again, and you've just had your hair cut by a rival actor, but you haven't been strangled to death by the leaves.

At this time, you choose-

【A. Step forward and slap him】

【B. Borrow a wig from the other party】

【C. Ask the other party why they did this】

[D. Instead of looking for Director Jiang, call Ye Zi first]

【E. Tell Director Jiang, you know what he said to that actor】

[#Reminder: Life +1, Life -1, the current number of times the protagonist can die is 0]
