"Liu Dong?" Li Fangqian pointed to the two dishes in the window, and after finishing eating, he turned to Shen Zhuoqing and asked, "He is rehearsing with you every day now? The band won't do it?"

Shen Zhuoqing shook his head, and ordered the same dish behind him: "I don't know, maybe I want to have fun. But the acting really looks like that."

"Very good." Li Fangqian stood aside and waited for him, making room for the queue, "Let's increase the friendship in your dormitory."

It was meal time, and the two of them took a long time to find a seat before sitting down.Li Fangqian saw that none of them had soup, so he unscrewed his water glass and put it on the opposite side.

"Then Liu Dong is always late for rehearsals recently?"

"No. It turned out that there were always a bunch of people waiting for him, but then another lead actor got angry, and he was never late again."

"He still eats this?" Li Fangqian thought about Liu Dong's unrestrained temperament, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person who would restrain himself just because others got angry.Thinking about it again, it's even more wrong, getting angry?

"Wait, another lead actor? Lin Quan?" Li Fangqian looked puzzled, recalled the pretty smiling face in his mind, and shook his head.

Lin Quan used to be in the same department as Li Fangqian in the school's research association, but later retired, so he didn't have much contact.But in Li Fangqian's impression, Lin Quan even speaks in a gentle manner, never impatient, and is famous for his good temper.

It seems that Liu Dong is really good at making Lin Quan angry.

Shen Zhuoqing smiled helplessly, drank his saliva and said, "Our film crew, I guess it will only work if Lin Quan gets angry."

Li Fangqian threw him an encouraging look and told him not to be too tired.The repertory troupe has funds for rehearsals, but Shen Zhuoqing has not retired from his part-time job. In addition to research tasks, he also spends energy on rehearsals every day. After a month, he is tired and thin.

After dinner, Li Fangqian accompanied Shen Zhuoqing to watch the rehearsal.After dozens of times of grinding the play, the actors can basically finish the script, and they can almost remember the flow of the process.

Li Fangqian has read the script and has a general understanding of the story that happened in Xia Tian.

The role played by Liu Dong is more complex, looking forward and backward, and has a miserable life experience. There is a mother who is seriously ill in prison, who is tricked into stripping in an underground bar and has suffered all kinds of abuse.

Lin Quan plays a student who has just graduated from high school. He is encouraged by his classmates to go to a nightclub. He falls in love with the person on the stage at first sight, so he starts a tender offensive, listening to the emotions and sorrows of the object of his pursuit, and helping him out of the quagmire.

In the end, the two people crossed classes and distances, and chose to embrace each other's wounds before the end of the summer.

On the stage.

Lin Quan and Liu Dong chatted about literature, about poets who died young and lonely mothers, and unrestrained empathy with people far away who might be going to the deep sea; they talked about music, singing the Beatles' rock songs that they couldn't remember the lyrics, and they forgot so much I simply filled in Neruda's part.

"The last stop on the bus line in University City is the Dance Academy." Liu Dong read his lines, his eyes could not see joy or sorrow, and he was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water: "And I have been studying there for two years."

Lin Quan looked at him with a smile, and continued, "I just said, you are really good."

offstage.

Shen Zhuo yelled "Stop" crisply, and Lin Quan quickly walked to the stage to listen to his play.

"At this time, you learned that he was studying in a top dance academy and had unique advantages, but he chose to squander his talent in a shady bar, indulge in corruption, and cut off his wings by himself. As a suitor, your compliment is nothing but a surprise , in fact, with grief, heartache and a little curiosity about the past."

Lin Quan's understanding was very good, and he nodded immediately. After brewing his emotions for a while, he returned to his chair and said his lines again.

His brows were wrinkled into a word Sichuan, but there was light in his eyes.Lin Quan suppressed the trembling and squeezed out a smile: "I just said, you are really good."

Liu Dong didn't continue to pick it up anymore.

Shen Zhuoqing frowned, walked to the front of the stage again, and looked at Liu Dong: "Brother Dong, Lin Quan gave you these reactions, it's time for the next line. This scene is about you being honest, introducing your real name, and full of emotions." , let's work harder, how many more times?"

Liu Dong sat there without any response, for a long time, stood up without saying a word and walked backstage.

Lin Quan hurriedly followed.

Li Fangqian was confused and asked with his eyes.Shen Zhuoqing shook his head, indicating that it would be fine for Lin Quan to deal with it.

Backstage usually has no lights.Liu Dong sat on a pile of sundries, he could only see his blurred figure clearly, his back straight.

"Did Zhuoqing's words irritate you?" Seeing the black shadow, Lin Quan walked over and asked when he opened his eyes.

Lin Quan might be the only one in the whole group who dared to speak to Liu Dong in this tone, and also the only one who would treat Liu Dong with weakness.

Because, in this small world, many of their secrets have already been carried.

In order to find a sense of drama, they would chat for a while after each rehearsal like the people in the drama.Usually sitting in the backstage with no light, among the clutter and noise, isolated from the world with a curtain.

Liu Dong would chat with Lin Quan about himself, about the piano and dresses that his father threw into the trash.

Lin Quan often thinks that Liu Dong is a very contradictory person, so it's no wonder that he takes the role of gigolo so accurately.He always armed himself with some childish rebellious behavior, and all resistance was exposed and straightforward. Whether it was the way of talking casually or the style of dressing that was unique, he was out of tune with the world.

But he is not out of the world, but is so eager to be seen by the world that he chooses the most eye-catching way.

However, even with such an unruly personality, he compromised when choosing a major.He also cut off his own wings with his own hands.

Liu Dong has always wanted to learn music.However, after many times of resistance to no avail, Liu Dong did not pick up the piano after all, and no matter how trendy his attire was, he never went back to wearing red makeup.

I cried all night in the hospital holding my father, who was extremely angry, and finally chose this comprehensive university, a major that is very far away from music.

Therefore, when seeing Liu Dong in the play give up his dreams for his livelihood, Lin Quan felt a bit distressed.

"That's nothing, after all, I chose the road myself." Liu Dong's black shadow moved slightly, his voice trembling slightly, "It's just that no one has looked at me with that kind of distressed and expectant eyes for a long time."

No one has ever given him the slightest bit of attention and expectation, even if he is invincible, indulging and causing trouble.

"Although I know it's in a play, thank you. It's been a long time since I've seen this feeling of being watched by love."

After Lin Quan listened, he walked to him in silence, turned over and sat on the pile of debris, and said softly, "It would be great if there was light here."

If you are bright, you can see Lin Quan outside the play, and you have the same gaze in the play at this time.

Grinding opera is a protracted battle, Shen Zhuoqing and the repertory troupe set the premiere in the new semester of the first year.

Because she was worried about Wang Xia, Shen Zhuoqing didn't dare to delay this winter vacation, and returned very early, so she heartily left the crew and Li Fangqian behind.

"When will you be back?" Before leaving, Li Fangqian came to Shen Zhuoqing's dormitory to help pack things, a little aggrieved.

"Let's start school..." Seeing that her boyfriend's face was about to wrinkle, Shen Zhuoqing hurriedly leaned forward and kissed her, "Let's keep in touch every day for the past two months, okay?"

"Then I'll call you." In the package at that time, it was very expensive to make a call, but it was free to answer.

"Okay." Shen Zhuoqing replied with a smile, "It'll be fine when we graduate! We go to N college together and commute together. I'll take my parents along and stay together every day."

Li Fangqian followed a lot in the field, and the data was also detailed. The first draft of his graduation thesis was almost done, so he accepted the invitation from the N University Research Institute.

Those who graduated from N University usually have an advantage in applying for the N University Young Teacher Program, so Shen Zhuo contacted Zheng Qinyi early in the morning.

Because several masterpieces and thesis results were of high quality, Zheng Qinyi told him to graduate well, there should be no major problems, and he also attached the selection criteria to remind him to compare.

After returning home, Shen Zhuoqing excitedly shared Zheng Qinyi's reply.Although Wang Xia had no expression on her face, Shen Zhuoqing knew that her mother was actually happy.

In this small county town, I have lived in a dilapidated compound for more than ten years, and I am always worried about being kicked out.If there are better conditions, they are happy to move. City N is another place that Wang Xia has always wanted to visit. If she can really go back to school and find a job, it will solve a lot of her worries.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhuoqing worked harder to prepare the thesis.

Shen Cong looked at his tired dark circles, and worriedly said: "You don't have to work so hard, we all know that N is hard to get into. If you are tired, it's good to teach at the nearby Art Academy. You don't need to move, you can also It doesn’t have to be so tiring, the salary is not low, and the housing can be divided—it doesn’t have to go to N City.”

"It's okay, I want to go back myself." Shen Zhuo said without raising his head.

In the cramped living room, clutter filled the corners.Wang Xia turned around and went back to the kitchen to serve the dishes.In this house that may be repossessed at any time, the New Year's Eve dinner is also tasteless.

It was gray outside the window, and the bare branches slapped the glass window.

The fireworks exploded outside the window, and the colorful ribbons scattered in all directions, and gradually dimmed when they reached the edge of the night sky, until they all disappeared, and there was a burst of noise from the TV.

Li Fangqian held his mobile phone and sat in the bathroom with a low voice.

"A lot of people over there?" Shen Zhuoqing asked as if he heard the noise from his side.

"Yeah, all the seven aunts and eight aunts are here, chasing after me and asking when I will bring the girl back."

Shen Zhuoqing laughed a few times over there: "Then what do you say?"

"No more." Li Fangqian turned on the faucet, covering his own laughter, "They beat my head so hard, it still hurts."

Just as I was talking, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the TV, and then a relative who didn't know who won the mahjong game shouted "paste", and the sound of shuffling the cards overwhelmed the TV.

Li Fangqian turned off the tap.You don't need to use the sound of running water to cover up the sound of your phone, no one pays attention to him anyway.

"The Spring Festival Gala is on?" Li Fangqian asked when he heard the announcement of "2002 Renwu Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala" coming from the receiver.

Shen Zhuoqing took the mobile phone to the TV, and the audience's applause was amplified clearly through the microphone at the scene. Even through double transmission, Li Fangqian could hear it clearly.Before the skit even started, Li Fangqian could already hear bursts of laughter.

"I saw it, it was interesting."

Li Fangqian thought of listening to the birds for Shen Zhuoqing, couldn't help laughing again, and replied in Shen Zhuoqing's tone.

There was no answer on the phone, just humming "Unforgettable Tonight" intermittently.

"Shen Zhuoqing." Li Fangqian stopped smiling suddenly, thinking that another year would pass, he couldn't help feeling a little bit, "It's another year."

"Ah."

"I'll wait for you to go to N University next year."

"Ah."

"Shen Zhuoqing!"

"Ok?"

Li Fangqian was acting like a child playing with his temper, holding the faucet in his hand, exerting more and more strength, "It's an appointment! Next year, and for many years to come, we will celebrate the festival together in N City. I will say all my wishes in the future in person. "

"Okay." Shen Zhuoqing smiled happily on the other end of the phone, and accompanied by the audience's voice on the TV, it reached Li Fangqian's ears, "Then I'll tell you this time."

--"Happy New Year."

--"Happy New Year."

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks exploded in the yard at once.

On the night when all beings are boiling, two ordinary New Year greetings pass through thousands of mountains and rivers and meet in the colorful night sky.
