Traveling through Thailand

After the club ended, Xiao Yi took the script home and placed it directly on the table. When Sky returned, he saw the script bound on the table and thought it was the novel translation he had given him. He picked it up and saw the homepage clearly written with the script "Ai Kong - Love Sky Chapter". (The name is different in the private setting.)

Sky thought of something and immediately rushed into Xiao Yi's room excitedly: "Are you going to film this movie?"

Xiao Yi, who was assembling a building model, put down his handicraft and turned his chair to look at the script in the hands of the visitor. "No, I met someone on the way to the club today. She gave me the script and hoped that I could play the top in the Love Sky chapter."

Sky was very excited: "Yeah, I've read this novel and heard it's going to be made into a TV show. I didn't expect that casting has already started and I didn't expect you to be invited."

Seeing him so excited, Xiao Yi was afraid that he might faint from excitement, so he quickly stepped forward and pressed him onto another chair: "Don't get excited, you know I'm not interested in acting, and the top in the play is quite different from my personality."

After hearing Xiao Yi say he wasn't planning on participating, Sky, feeling excited, calmed down and recalled the plot's setting for the top role. "That's true. In the novel, the top role is a playboy who lingers among women, and with your stoic expression, it would be quite difficult for you to play such a role." Then Sky imagined Xiao Yi, with a stern face, saying gentle, ambiguous love words. The thought made him laugh, and he became even more certain that he was not suitable for the role.

Until he fantasized about something, Xiao Yi thought of the bottom in this novel: "Hey Sky, do you want to try filming?"

Sky, who was amused by the imaginary scene, was stunned by this question: "?" Sky seemed a little stuck.

"I think you're very suitable for the role here. If you want to experience what it's like to film, I can help you find an agent."

Sky's hands trembled slightly as he held the script. He recalled how he liked the novel because the character in it had similar experiences to his own. The fork in the road was that he had a good friend, a friend who would stand by him whenever he was in danger, and a friend who would translate his favorite novels for him when he was lost, afraid, and lonely.

The bottom character in that novel, in his loneliness, thought he had encountered light, but it turned out to be a demon that pushed him into darkness. He wanted to be saved, to break free, to escape, but he was repeatedly pua, oppressed, and toyed with. If he hadn't wanted to worry his father, he might have collapsed and ceased to exist.

With that darkness in his heart, he strives to live. During the day, he plays the role of a well-behaved boy. At night, suffering from insomnia, he relies on comics and novels to distract himself, sometimes awakening from a peaceful sleep to nightmares. In short, before meeting the male protagonist, his life was caught between light and darkness. One step forward, there was light; one step back, a cliff. He constantly hoped for someone to help him, but fear of being hurt again kept him from reaching out. But in the end, all was well. He waited for someone to reach out and pull him out of the darkness.

Compared to the girl in the novel, he was much luckier. After all, he was pulled out of the darkness several years earlier than the girl in the novel. But most of the time, Xiao Yi always felt that he had never gotten over that failed relationship, and always felt like he was walking on the edge of a cliff.

But he also enjoyed his care and his attention. He wanted to continue living like this, from high school to college, from college to entering society. He hoped that they could continue living like this.

"Sky? Sky? What are you thinking about?" She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Sky's eyes several times while he was in a daze. Seeing that he still hadn't come back to his senses, she wanted to pinch his itchy spots, but he came back to his senses at this moment.

Sky came back to his senses with a complicated expression: "I was thinking of the bottom in this novel. His early experiences were very similar to mine, but I'm luckier than him. I met you."

Xiao Yiwaiwai recalled what he had seen. After all, he had only skimmed through it, so he only understood the general direction of the content. As for the similarities with Sky's experience? It was probably based on real life.

"Then I won't shoot it."

"Ok?"

"Since this script is somewhat similar to your experience, let's not dig into the past. I'm not interested in acting anyway, so I'll just call her tomorrow and reject her."

Sky looked at the script in his hand, thinking: "Can you tell me before you call tomorrow? I want to think about it carefully."

"no problem."

Xiao Yi was prepared for Sky's attempt to play the role of the "Shou" in the novel. So he called him on the way to school, briefly explained, and decided to meet at XXX Coffee Shop on Saturday night.

The freshman welcome event was coming to a close. They stayed up all night tying red ribbons on the new students. Afterward, without a word, Sky was dragged towards the car. Rain, perplexed, asked the people beside him, "Where are they going in such a hurry? They didn't even respond when I called them?"

"I don't know. By the way, your P'phayu is waiting for you over there, don't you want to go over there?"

"Ah! Yes, P'phayu is still waiting for me." He no longer wondered why Sky and the others were in such a hurry to leave. He turned and threw himself into the arms of P'phayu, who had been waiting for him for a long time. He looked at the two people who were carelessly showing off their affection over there, and quietly moved further away.

When they arrived at the agreed place, the man had already found a seat near the inside. He came up to her with Sky and said, "Sorry, we're late."

"It's not too late. There's still a quarter of an hour until the agreed time."

I took the menu from the waiter, ordered, and handed it back to him.

She looked at Sky who was standing aside in a reserved manner and asked, "Is he the one you want to introduce?"

"Yes. How is it? Does it match the image you had in mind?"

Sky was very nervous when being stared at, and kept tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"Well, judging by his personality, he's a good match, and he's not bad looking either."

"When I read the script, he was the first person I thought of. I felt he was very suitable for the role."

"You have a good eye for picking people."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "So we've reached an agreement on the roles. Now the next step is the signing?"

"Yes."

At this time, the waiter brought the prepared coffee: "Sorry for the wait, your coffee."

"Thank you."

After the waiter left, Xiao Yi continued the previous topic: "My company has a studio. If you decide to give this role to Sky, then I will let my agent come to discuss cooperation with you."

She hadn't expected Xiao Yi to be so direct. She had thought that even if she couldn't sign him, she could sign his friends. But now that he said that, it meant that the chances of signing him were gone. So she fell into deep thought again. After all, the script for this shoot was bought by the company to promote its own new talent. If she found someone who wasn't from the company to play the leading role in one of the episodes, the chances of success would be slim. She was at a loss for words for a moment. After thinking, she frowned and said, "I'll call the company and get back to you about this."

"It should."

After everyone left, the nervous Sky finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yi looked at him with amusement: "So nervous?"

"Yeah. After all, I've never been exposed to these things before, and it's all about whether I can be selected."

Xiao Yi raised his head and looked at him: "You heard what I just said, right?"

Sky nodded. "I know you're worried that I'll be cheated by the company, and I just want to try out that role, not really want to be an actor. So even if I miss this role, it doesn't matter."

"Hmm." Xiao Yi thought as he took a sip of coffee. If they refused to let him act because they couldn't sign him, then he would directly contact the novel's author to discuss whether he could buy back the film and television rights. After all, he had someone inquire about it. Because the copyright fee offered by this company was not high, the novel's author had not relented. But because of this company's status in the entertainment industry, many people were reluctant to offend it, so...

With this in mind, Xiao Yi picked up his phone and sent a message. When the reply "Received" came back, his slight worry instantly dissipated. With that respite, Sky felt less reserved than at first. The two of them quietly waited for her reply, sipping their slightly bitter coffee.

Just as the coffee was almost finished, she finally reappeared. The visitor returned to his seat. "I spoke to the company on the phone and told them your request. I'm sorry, but this novel is primarily for promoting our own artists, so..."

He had already guessed the result from her hesitant words, so Xiao Yi didn't get angry or have any other complaints: "It's okay, I understand your company's approach."
