My girlfriend is from the future!

"So... I forgive you... what does that mean?"

A person's life is destined to have countless moments of loss of consciousness, but the feeling is not the same. In these seconds of loss of speech, sometimes you feel lost, sometimes you feel tired, but not every time, you will feel the moment of trance like when you wake up now, because you clearly realize that you are still awake, because you are absolutely sure that you are not in a dream...

Therefore, this feeling of loss of consciousness is so fragmented, strong, unexpected and as if it were a lifetime ago.

It was just this gap between sentences that allowed He Tianran to feel the blood rushing beneath his skin, and the sound of his pulse and heart roaring in his ear canal, like a never-ending drumbeat.

The man slowly turned his head to look at the woman who said this, the woman who said she would help him find regrets today.

He asked in a deep voice: "Who told you this?"

Somehow, He Tianran's rhetorical question was filled with a rare sense of uneasiness.

"……you."

He looked at the other person's warmth and coolness and answered briefly. Although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was also in turmoil.

This was something she had confirmed with He Tianran several times before, and the other party had denied it several times. Even today, even Wen Liang herself felt that it was a past event that was like a smoke and a dream and could never be confirmed again.

But now the other party's hesitation made the woman realize that this "He Tianran" in front of her, his various performances today and those mysterious "time travel" jokes in his mouth, might not be that simple...

"……I?"

He Tianran murmured softly and then noticed the sight of Li Wang and Xie Yanyan. The singing of the rooftop singer and the whispers of the drinkers around him became noisy again. He realized that now was not the time to discuss this topic with Wen Liang, so he pretended to relax, as if he remembered something, and raised his glass to add:
"Ah, forgiveness is forgiveness. There shouldn't be any other meaning to this. If you hadn't said it... I would have forgotten it."

After saying that, he took a sip of wine and buried his nose in the huge mouth of the cup, making it impossible for others to see his expression.

"So you remember it now?"

There was no room for others to interrupt. Wen Liang's questioning forced He Tianran, who wanted to avoid it, to face the problem squarely. Moreover, no one wanted to know the meaning of this forgiveness more than He Tianran himself...

Under what circumstances would I say such words to Wen Liang?

What happened during this period?
Needless to say, He Tianran's resentful teenage personality, even his sinister mature personality, it is unlikely that he would easily express the idea of ​​"I forgive you" to Wen Liang. The prank in September many years ago was firmly rooted in his heart. Even in this world, it seems that none of this has ever happened...

and many more……

If it never happened, why would I say such a thing?

Is it possible that it was because of something else that I needed to forgive Wen Liang?

However, this thought was dispelled the moment He Tianran and Wen Liang looked at each other. They both understood the importance of this sentence in each other's hearts from each other's sensitive eyes. He Tianran didn't know whether the sentence "I forgive you" referred to other things in Wen Liang's heart. He didn't have this memory, but he understood himself. At least, he knew this personality of himself. He would not let this matter go. If he had a chance to "revenge", he would only choose to intensify it. Even if he forgave, it would be a pretense.

But now he is facing the most bizarre situation -

None of this happened.

"I don't want to talk about this now. Since I choose to forgive you, you shouldn't mention such sad things, right?"

I forgive you, sad thing.

He Tianran once again used his skillful rhetoric to try to avoid the topic. He thought he was foolproof, and on the surface it was true, because he was the one who said forgiveness, and he had absolute initiative in this topic.

Little did they know that this sentence revealed a huge flaw in the eyes of Wen Liang, the person involved.

This sentence was said by "Passerby A", and the person who was forgiven was also the girl in his story who bullied him, deceived him, and fell in love with him...

Therefore, in the sentence "I forgive you", He Tianran and Wen Liang are not the subject, predicate or object.

He lied, he didn't know what that meant, he was pretending to be the person involved. If this statement is to be true, it can only be applying the story of "Passerby A" to the two of them.

Even if "Ranren A" and "He Tianran" are exactly the same, and all signs indicate that they are the same person; even if Wen Liang seems to have noticed the change in "He Tianran's" personality today...

But...is this really possible?

Various clues intertwined in his mind, and Wen Liang was also in a trance.

When I love, it is like a brocade of flowers; when I am obsessed, it is like fuel to the fire...

This two-sided statement perfectly explains Wen Liang's personality and character, so no matter how confused the girl is, she will never let go of such an opportunity to commit robbery.

"You. Wear. Help!"

She spoke each word with emphasis, using double entendres.

Wen Liang ignored the two people standing beside her in confusion and stared at the changes on He Tianran's face with a sharp gaze.

Faced with such a staring and hinting from a woman who is almost as beautiful as a demon, even the most subtle "writer" would reveal his weak spot in his pen and write out the truth, let alone the "He Tianran" who has a missing memory in front of her...

At this moment, Wen Liang could see clearly the panic on the man's face, as he didn't know the details and had no confidence.

This should be the first time that Wen Liang has truly taken the upper hand in dealing with something with this man since He Tianran acquired the agency and became the girl's boss. A strong sense of self-confidence and dominance arose in her heart. The corners of her mouth could not help but reveal a charming smile, and her whole person looked radiant.

He Tianran, whose mind was predicted, did not dare to respond directly. This smile gave him the opportunity to back off. After a moment of panic, the man also smiled, raised his hands halfway in surrender, and said:

"Alright, alright, stop acting. If you keep acting like this, Director Li and Yanyan will probably think that we have some old relationship that is shameful to the public."

The two parties sang the same tune, and the ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared immediately. Li and Xie, who were a little nervous, also relaxed instantly. Feeling that she was being teased, Xie Yanyan patted He Tianran's shoulder and scolded:

"What? I really thought there was some earth-shattering gossip going to be revealed between Tianran and Miss Wen. My heart was in my throat. My expectations were in vain. So what does that sentence 'I forgive you' mean?"

"Last year, when we were filming, your brother Tianran scolded me and made me cry, saying that I didn't act well. I cried and told him, Director, please give me another chance, I will definitely act well. Later, although I acted well in that scene, when I asked him if he was satisfied, he still had a poker face, nodded perfunctorily and said, it's OK, I forgive you.

I remembered that scene for a long time, Director He."

Wen Liang retold the whole story vividly, his eyes full of agility and mischief.

Looking at this expression, He Tianran knew without a second thought that she must be telling a lie, but since the other party had given him a ladder, the man had no choice but to climb down.

"Um……"

He responded helplessly and nodded, but Wen Liang seemed to have caught him in the act, pointed at his nose, and said to Xie Yanyan:
"You see, this is his attitude on the set. It's hard to tell whether he really forgives you or thinks you are hopeless and doesn't want to waste time on you. It's really hurtful to people's self-esteem~!"

He Tianran was numb. He stared with his eyes wide open, mouth slightly opened, and let Wen Liang arrange things for him.

In this kind of situation, girls naturally help each other. Xie Yanyan said indignantly:

"Brother Tianran, Teacher Wen Liang's performance in "Wild in the Heart" is obvious to all. The audience has praised her acting skills and character creation. Of course, we need to get along with each other during work, but it's inevitable that you will be a little petty to mention it in private and get angry about it!"

He Tianran figured out that Xie Yanyan was definitely a fan of Wen Liang.

“You guys… heh~”

In the end, men still care about other men. Li Wang saw that He Tianran was embarrassed and helped to speak up:
"So you were reenacting a scene just now? Director He is quite skilled. You and Sister Liang were acting very well together. You were being modest before. Now I am more certain that you are the missing 'lead singer' in my movie."

"That's just to tease Teacher Wen Liang intentionally. In front of the camera, he will probably act differently. Don't take it seriously. Director Li, please forgive me for making fun of him."

He Tianran was grateful to Li Wang for bringing the topic back to the film project. He picked up his cup and clinked it with him, but verbally refused to take part again.

The more meticulous a person is, the more he likes to maintain his image in front of others. He prefers to show his confident side. This is consistent with the several personalities that He Tianran has already shown. Moreover, he has just suffered a loss in front of Wen Liang, so he is naturally unwilling to accept the opportunity to get along with her in public. If his secret is discovered by her, God knows what this woman will do.

Wen Liang looked at the two men who were drinking with their heads tilted back, and simply leaned back, raised his right leg, folded his arms, and jokingly said in a very comfortable sitting posture:
"You still can't act? You are such a great actor."

He Tianran did not confront her this time. Li Wang smiled slightly after drinking and said:

"It doesn't matter whether you can act or not. If you can't act well on the spot, I can just say 'cut' and shoot a few more takes. But if we're really shooting a scene, just look at the scene you just did. Director He, you didn't catch up with Sister Liang's performance."

"..."

"..."

He and Wen fell silent at the same time, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding.

Just like a spinning music cassette suddenly stopped and then immediately returned to normal, the balcony singer's voice came at the right time, the female singer's voice was soft and graceful, connecting this brief silence like silk.

Thank him for treating me like a fool and fooling me once a day

Being awake all my life is just like that, I don't mind using love to get drunk and dream
It turns out that being hypnotized is really fun. I am happy to be a dedicated hostage.

I don't have time to explain to anyone, I held myself hostage

It's none of his business...

A song "Big Sleep" by Cyndi Wang was played, and everyone listened to the song quietly. Wen Liang and Xie Yanyan had a drink, and their posture changed from hugging each other to one hand on the table, supporting their chin and looking up, immersed in the music.

“This is my favorite song.”

she whispered.

All night long, she seemed to be telling He Tianran about the things she liked.

"I thought it was The Fruit of Summer."

The man looked at the woman's flawless profile. The latter suddenly turned her head and frowned slightly, then she felt relieved in a flash.

"Because... that party in high school?"

"Well, because of the party."

He Tianran did not deny it. He raised his glass and looked away.

The two had just talked about Zhang Zhifan in the office, and that evening party was his collaboration with Wen Liang. One of them played the piano accompaniment and the other sang. The answer was not difficult to guess.

"Because I hadn't learned to play the guitar at that time, 'Big Sleep' was the first song I could play after I learned to play the guitar."

“Can you play guitar?”

Hearing this rhetorical question, Wen Liang rolled his eyes at He Tianran and stopped looking at him, as if his mood was spoiled.

Li Wang explained, "Sister Liang formed a band in college. In addition to being the lead singer, she also played lead guitar. Director He, didn't you see her? Have you forgotten?"

"Ah... um..." He Tianran hesitated and continued, "University... maybe it's been too long, I don't have a deep impression." Wen Liang on the side gave him another deep look, then said to Xie Yanyan:
"Ms. Xie, I want to make a deeper impression on someone. Is your band willing to cooperate with me?"

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient. I'd love to have Teacher Wen Liang perform on stage. I was a fan of your band when I was in college! I often went to watch your live performances when I was studying!"

Xie Yanyan clapped her hands, overjoyed. Wen Liang was also stunned when she heard that. She knew that the other party would not miss the star effect brought by her performance on stage, but she did not expect that Xie Yanyan was also a student in the university town and knew about her niche band.

The two hit it off immediately. Xie Yanyan immediately stood up and took Wen Liang to the inner room of the tavern. They talked and laughed all the way, and looking at the backs of these two women with good mobility, He Tianran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director He, why don't you stop it?"

He Tianran turned his head again and Li Wang looked at him with kindness.

"Hold up what?"

Li Wang waved his hand and said:
"Sister Liang... now she is a well-known artist, not like before when she was a small actor and no one paid attention to her. This is not a private occasion. If she goes on stage to sing someone else's popular song, she will receive a lawyer's letter and be asked to pay the copyright fee if she is found out."

He Tianran looked around. Although he and Wen Liang were not disturbed after arriving, they were still being watched. As Wen Liang walked towards the balcony, He Tianran saw that many people had picked up their phones, ready to take pictures.

“How much is it…” The man retracted his gaze and straightened his body: “She…can sing if she wants.”

He downplayed it, as if the attention at the moment bothered him more than the copyright fee afterwards.

"Director He is so generous!"

Li Wang smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Ha~"

He Tianran chuckled. He felt that this director of the same age as him named Li Wang was really a wonderful person. Now that the women were not present, the two men naturally relaxed a lot.

He deliberately asked: "Director Li, where were we talking about before?"

"We talked about Sister Liang's band."

"That's not it. Go ahead and say something more."

Li Wang's eyes turned, "We talked about... I asked you to help me play a role?"

He Tianran nodded gently, "When we talked about you saying that I didn't catch Wen Liang's role, if we really acted together, you could have clicked a few more times on the spot."

Li Wang was immediately horrified and terrified. He raised his glass and apologized repeatedly, "Director He, I was confused, I forgot that everyone has their own specialties. Please forgive me. I was drunk and didn't think carefully about what I said..."

"You are so confused, Director Li..."

He Tianran held the wine glass and slowly slumped down in the chair, his eyes fixed on the toast that Li Wang handed over in mid-air. He did not respond, and let the other person's hand freeze in front of him.

Time passed second by second, and just when the other party was at a loss as to what to do, a wanton smile suddenly broke out on He Tianran's face.

"Forget it~! I still like your scheming face that has been provoking me since I sat down~!"

After saying that, He Tianran quickly leaned forward, clinked the cups together quickly, tilted his head back and drank the wine in the huge cup in one gulp. Then, with a mouthful of draft beer still in his mouth, he turned his wrist and showed the empty bottom of the cup to Li Wang, who was still in a daze.

After witnessing all this, Li Wang paused for two seconds. After coming to his senses, he slowly turned his head away, closed his eyes, and shook his head slightly while chuckling, as if he was mocking his own stupid behavior just now.

He Tianran on the opposite side laughed even louder than him.

He Tianran, who had won back a point from his homosexual, called the waiter after laughing and ordered some side dishes. Li Wang was not as anxious to drink as he was. He drank the one liter of wine in the ear cup only after the waiter left. Afterwards, this gentleman even burped, which made He Tianran laugh again.

"Director He..."

"Ok?"

As the wine started to take effect, both of them were a little tipsy. After knowing He Tianran's attitude, Li Wang no longer hid it.

"What Sister Liang said just now, didn't it happen in your crew?"

"I forgot about it, you know?"

"Oh, this is boring, Director He, Sister Liang...hiccups...are not the kind of people who would bring up such things."

"Then...what do you think made me say such words of forgiveness?"

Although Li Wang's cheeks were flushed from drinking, his eyes were unusually clear. He looked at He Tianran for a moment with a brilliant smile.

"This forgiveness is for what happened during your trip, right?"

"..."

He Tianran had no idea how to answer. He had no memory of this, but he felt vaguely that this was very important...

He probed: "You... guessed it?"

Li Wang closed his eyes again and nodded heavily several times.

"Last time... ahem... when we were celebrating Sister Liang's success in the university town, didn't you explain the 'acquaintance game' we played at the table clearly?"

"Acquaintance game?"

"Forgot again? Director He, you are also a master at pretending to be confused~"

Well, this time Li Wang was pretending to be confused and ran into a real one; and He Tianran didn't know whether the other party was really drunk or pretending to be drunk...

He Tianran poured the other person another glass of wine.

"I think we should spend more time together when we have nothing to do."

"Hiccup...what are you talking about? Director He, aren't we still friends?"

"That... this matter..."

"Director He, don't worry. I won't say anything about this. Even if it's not for you, for Sister Liang's reputation, we friends won't spread it."

"..."

It has affected my reputation, how big of a deal is this...

Could it be that in the past few years, I have slept with Wen Liang for some unknown reason without Cao Aiqing's knowledge?

The unknown is the best inducement of fear. The more He Tianran thought about it, the more scared he became. After a brief thought, he decided to get some information from Li Wang first, even if it was more straightforward, because he still wanted to find out the whole story from Wen Liang. When the time comes, he will have a reference and can compare the two, so he won't be led by the nose by the girl anymore.

"Tell me more about it. I still want to know how you, the others, view that incident."

Although He Tianran said this euphemism very seriously, without mentioning the content of the incident, Li Wang really did as he said and did not reveal any details, even though he was drunk and facing the person involved.

"Director He, I think people of your level shouldn't care about other people's opinions. Although I haven't had much contact with you, I don't believe that you don't have this kind of confidence."

Li Wang still had that drunken smile on his face and he casually gave him a compliment.

The man thought for a moment and made an analogy, "It's like a movie. There are always differences between what the director wants to express and what the audience sees. It's also important to listen to some different opinions. When I came here, you were always observing me and Wen Liang. I don't believe that you don't have any ideas, so I want to listen."

The opponent was speechless for a moment. It seemed that He Tianran was slightly better at playing the offensive role.

"Well... I just feel that... Director He and Sister Liang... always have a very subtle... tacit understanding? Compatibility? Or a chemical reaction or something, anyway, that's the feeling."

Li Wang gradually relaxed and spoke carefully.

He Tianran understood the implication in the other party's words and paused for a moment before finally making a decision:

"I can help you play the role of 'lead singer'."

"Really?"

Li Wang's eyes lit up and He Tianran nodded.

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!"

The investment was in place, the role was confirmed, and the young director sitting on the chair clapped his hands on his thighs. He looked refreshed as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. It was obvious that he really cared about this core role that might only have a few scenes in the script.

This kind of joy from the heart due to creation also infected He Tianran. He smiled and did not rush to interrupt the other party's joy. Instead, the other party, after confirming the news, could not wait to add a sentence:
"Director He, I have another request..."

"You said."

"That is... I don't want you to appear weak in front of Sister Liang again during the official filming..."

"..."

"Because in the plot, she has always been following your footsteps, instead of being able to manipulate you at will, leaving you speechless and embarrassed. In terms of the relationship between the characters..."

"……cough!"

He Tianran had a gloomy expression on his face. He coughed hard, abruptly interrupting Li Wang who was already immersed in his own creative fantasy and chattering.

At the same time, cheers and whistles were heard all around. The two looked in the direction of the sound and found that Wen Liang had already climbed onto the balcony. At this moment, she had a guitar in her hand and was communicating with the band.

Although the performance had not started yet, her appearance made everyone present excited, and the flash lights of mobile phones began to flash one after another on the neon-lit riverside at night.

She plucked the strings with her fingers, trying out a few notes. Although the crowd was noisy, from the sound of the chord melodies, it seemed that she was going to sing a slow love song.

He Tianran retracted his gaze, slowly crossed his hands, and suddenly said to Li Wang in a deep voice:
"Want to try acting?"

"what?"

The young director was confused. The rich second-generation who held several positions turned his head away, raised the corner of his mouth, then stood up with his wine glass. He took two steps, then as if he had thought of something, turned around, leaned over and pressed the shoulder of the director who had dared to criticize him just now.

"Director Li, don't forget that I'm also a director. In your play, you can arrange us however you want; but in my play... it won't stop until I say 'cut'."

After saying that, He Tianran patted Li Wang on the shoulder and walked away to the best viewing position in the center of the balcony. (End of this chapter)
