At this moment, Rong Jin’s inner panic and confusion were simply indescribable.
He ripped off the face mask on his face, his first reaction was to deny it, but then he thought, wasn’t that lying? How could he lie to someone he liked! It’s just a face mask!
As Rong Jin thought about his glorious idol image, wondering if it would collapse because of a face mask, he shook his hands while typing: “Hmm, the weather has been dry lately, noticed my skin getting a bit dry, so just hydrating it, how did you know?”
Rong Jin repeatedly read the message, feeling that his tone should be calm and normal. He was someone who cared about his image in his circle, so it shouldn’t be a bad thing, right…
Seeing Rong Jin asking how he knew, Chi Feiran couldn’t help but laugh and sent a voice message: “You see the video just now, pay attention to Oreo.”
Rong Jin then turned to watch the video himself. His phone was the latest model, and the video it captured was of high quality, capturing all of Oreo’s adorable sweetness.
He was wondering, and then Oreo in the video opened its eyes.
Normally, the doll cat’s eyes should be blue, but because it was night, when Oreo opened its eyes, it naturally had a contact lens effect, and only a blue outline could be seen.
And within those shiny contact lens eyes, there were two bright spots, upon closer inspection… wasn’t that his face with the face mask on!
Rong Jin: “…”
Rong Jin looked at Oreo’s round and fluffy buttocks in front of him, feeling a mixture of emotions.
Chi Feiran sent another voice message: “Did you notice?”
After listening to his voice message, what else could Rong Jin say… of course, he praised him!
Rong Jin said: “You could notice this, your eyes are sharp.”
His tone was praising, but his hand was gently poking Oreo’s fluffy buttocks, feeling annoyed by this son of his…
Chi Feiran looked at the WeChat interface, laughing uncontrollably, secretly adding another label to Rong Jin in his mind, narcissistic.
It felt a bit strange, someone who was originally far away became a friend slowly, and then in the process of getting along, gradually discovering each other’s unknown sides.
He didn’t feel disappointed or anything like that, just felt very real, and even a bit… hmm, cute?
When Chi Feiran associated the word “cute” with Rong Jin in his mind, he couldn’t help but laugh again.
But thinking about their line of work, besides meeting the demands of their roles, it’s necessary to maintain their appearance in a better state all the time, which is also responsible to the fans.
And it seemed the weather was a bit dry. Thinking like this, he got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, and moisturized his skin a bit.
Seeing he didn’t reply, Rong Jin typed: “Are you asleep?”
After applying moisturizer, Chi Feiran casually took a picture of the bottle and sent it over: “Following the footsteps of idols, no face mask, so using this as a substitute.”
Following this sentence, he added an emoji he stole from Chen Mengyang, which was a cute little animal with a mischievous smile, not sure what exactly it was, but quite cute.
Rong Jin’s associative ability was so strong that he immediately associated this emoji with himself, instantly feeling very cute.
They continued to chat back and forth, always having something to talk about. Finally, Rong Jin noticed it was getting late and promptly urged him to go to sleep.
For Rong Jin, this was also a fresh experience because usually, it was others urging him to go to sleep.
Chi Feiran then came back to his senses, realizing it was indeed very late. With a bit of lingering sentiment, he said, “Good night, Rong-ge.”
Listening to Chi Feiran’s voice message, with a slightly nasal tone, softer than usual, almost like being coquettish.
Rong Jin knew this was probably his imagination, but he couldn’t help but soften his heart, and he replied softly, “Good night.”
After listening to the voice message, Chi Feiran put his phone aside, closed his eyes, but that itchy feeling in his ears hadn’t dissipated.
He couldn’t help but think that he should quickly finish writing the song for Rong-ge. His voice was so nice; he should sing more…
With this in mind, he opened his eyes again, picked up his phone, opened the music player, set Rong Jin’s song on repeat, and then prepared to sleep again.
The music was not too loud, just clear enough to be heard, but the melody and lyrics of this song were already engraved in his heart.
The only difference from the memories of his previous life was Rong Jin’s voice, every word between his lips seemed to carry a tenderness.
Chi Feiran gradually fell asleep, his thoughts fuzzy, as if grasping onto something, but he was too tired. When he wanted to think carefully, he was overwhelmed by drowsiness.
On his birthday, the old mansion of the Chi family hosted a grand banquet. Besides a few relatives from the Chi family, almost all the guests were prominent figures in the country.
According to Chi Jun’s intention, he wished he could hold a grand press conference and tell the world about his wonderful son.
But ultimately, it was just a thought. If the whole world knew, he would also be somewhat afraid of safety.
Families like theirs mostly preferred to keep a low profile, especially since his son was still a celebrity, and his schedule could easily be known to others, so they had to be more cautious.
Therefore, the guest list for this birthday was carefully considered and decided upon.
Since early morning, Chi Feiran had been personally introduced by Chi Jun to various people, uncles and uncles, each one either wealthy or influential. Even the younger generation brought along were outstanding individuals.
Although Chi Feiran didn’t like such social occasions, he didn’t lack any manners or grace.
Seeing him handle it properly, his friends praised him one by one, saying “a chip off the old block,” which made Chi Jun extremely gratified. He felt that in all these years, he had never had such a moment of pride.
It wasn’t until the banquet began that Chi Feiran was finally allowed to return to his seat.
He sat between two people, and without reservation, it could be said that the level of attention they attracted was almost on par with Chi Feiran, the young prince of the Chi family.
One was the only foreigner present, and the other was a nationally renowned superstar. Naturally, they were eye-catching.
However, everyone present knew their boundaries. Some even knew from their elders who exactly Chris was. Although their gazes intentionally or unintentionally swept over their table, no one came over to disturb them. After all, with the presence of so many big shots, embarrassing oneself would not only be losing face but also tarnishing the reputation of the entire family.
It wasn’t until the third round of toasts that young talents holding wine glasses began to approach Chi Feiran one after another, toasting and wishing him a happy birthday.
Although it was said like this, Chi Feiran was actually drinking fruit juice. He was young, and the others were just being polite, using this as an opportunity to exchange contact information and make plans to hang out together sometime.
The parents were happy to see them getting along well, so regardless of what they thought, they always put on a polite face and maintained their dignity.
As the day went on, dealing with socializing was indeed quite exhausting.
But the real highlight began after nightfall. Chi Feiran looked at the large red sports car in front of him, took a deep breath involuntarily.
Chris received a call before the dispersal, saying there were some things he needed to take care of. When he left, he lightly patted his younger brother’s shoulder.
This was a signal agreed upon by the two brothers, indicating that everything was ready.
Without much hesitation, Chi Feiran opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat, preparing to start the car.
Rong Jin was one of the guests staying overnight tonight, he came out to find Chi Feiran and was told he was in the garage. As a result, he saw the kid seemed to be preparing to drive himself.
He walked up and knocked on the car window.
Chi Feiran was startled. When he saw it was Rong Jin, he breathed a sigh of relief and rolled down the window, “Rong-ge, could you wait for me for a moment?”
Rong Jin frowned, “Do you have a driver’s license?”
Of course, Chi Feiran had a driver’s license, but it wasn’t recognized domestically…
Chi Feiran didn’t have the mindset to explain this to Rong Jin at the moment. He said very seriously, “I have a driver’s license. Wait for me here, I’ll only drive on this mountain road, and I’ll be back soon.”
Rong Jin felt something was off and said without hesitation, “I’ll go with you.”
But Chi Feiran was unusually serious. He directly locked the car door and said, “Wait for me here.”
Then he started the car and stepped on the gas pedal. The car shot out, and the speed was so fast that Rong Jin couldn’t react.
The performance of the sports car was beyond imagination. It quickly disappeared from Rong Jin’s sight.
Chi Feiran didn’t close the car window. There were no vehicles on the empty mountain road, and with his fast driving, the sound of the wind whistled in his ears.
The December mountain breeze was already bone-chillingly cold, but at this moment, it made him feel awake.
Chi Feiran could feel his palms sweating, and goosebumps rose all over his body. Since his rebirth, he had never driven a car himself. This sense of fear was not easy to overcome.
But he knew clearly that if he couldn’t even do this, then the truth he wanted to know might forever remain a mystery.
At the same time, Chris received a communication from Andre.
It seemed as if the previous unpleasantness between them didn’t exist. Andre had a slight smile on his face as he asked, “Chris, how was your dear brother’s birthday party?”
Looking at him, Chris said calmly, “It was fine.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Andre’s handsome face deepened, and there was a slightly eerie joy in it. He said, “Oh, is that so? And what about the gift you gave him? Did he like it?”
“Have you ever thought, what if there’s something on that car? What would you do?”
Andre spoke in a light tone, “Do you want to give him a call? If he doesn’t stop, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
Chris looked at him and dialed Chi Feiran’s number on his phone.
Seeing Chris connect the call, Andre laughed happily, covering his stomach and saying, “Hurry, or it might be too late!”
Chris said, “Ethan! Stop the car!”
Chi Feiran jolted and instinctively hit the brakes.
The wind whistling by his ears due to the speed gradually became steady. The terrifying electronic sound didn’t ring out, and there was no explosion happening again. He…
was still alive.
Chi Feiran lay on the steering wheel, breathing in the icy air in large gasps, his hands trembling so much that he could hardly hold the phone.
Chris’s gaze was fixed on Andre in the video. Andre was enjoying himself like a child, immersed in the joy of the moment, saying, “Boom! Boom! Hahaha! Hahaha!”
He laughed heartily, completely indulging in the happiness.
After he finished laughing, he looked back at the screen and said, “Chris, what if your family knew that your precious little brother was because of your death? What would happen?”
There was actually a hint of innocent curiosity on Andre’s face, but his words were poisoned, “Let’s see what fate awaits you, hahaha!”
