Chapter 29 Performance

Lu Yuxing is very busy this week.

When he was at work on Tuesday, Bai Wan told him that someone anonymously wrote a letter to the newspaper, claiming that a popular female artist had cheated, and even attached a photo taken secretly.However, on Friday of this week, the newspaper will also do a feature interview around her new album.

The reporters and editors in the entire entertainment section were all shocked. Zhu Hu proposed to Ai Zhuyu to publish the photos during the interview, catching the other party by surprise, and publishing them in the newspaper later.Ai Zhuyu disagreed, thinking that the interview should continue as usual.He didn't dare to provoke Ai Zhuyu, so he poured all his anger on his subordinates.That day, Bai Wan happened to make a mistake at work and bumped into the muzzle of a gun, and was scolded by Zhu Huhao.

The little girl sat on the workstation holding back her crying and wiping her tears, choking very slightly.Lu Yuxing turned his head and took a look, seeing that the colleagues next to her were just watching indifferently, a little bit unbearable.

Besides Wan Jie and Ai Zhuyu, Bai Wan took care of him the most here.Lu Yuxing thought for a moment, then took out the tickets he just grabbed yesterday from his bag.

"Sister Bai." Lu Yuxing stepped on the office chair, slid behind Bai Wan, and handed her the ticket.

Bai Wan covered her mouth and looked at the ticket in his hand suspiciously with a pair of red eyes.

Lu Yuxing reached out and pressed the ticket under her water glass.

"Come out on weekends to relax." He said, "Our school club drama, Saturday night at seven o'clock."

The drama club of City University of Hong Kong is very popular.I don't know who recognized Lu Yuxing, many colleagues knew that this new intern was a former drama club member.

"Are you on stage too?" Bai Wan wiped away tears.

Lu Yuxing shook his head, "My younger brother is the leading actor."

"Is that the handsome guy with the dimple?" Bai Wan patted her cheek and smiled at him, "Thank you."

After a week's class schedule, the students of Hong Kong City University ushered in the weekend.

The promotion of the drama club's activities is very good, so tickets are also hard to find.Lu Yuxing gave the tickets to Bai Wan, and when he went to buy them on Friday, the tickets for Saturday were already sold out.

Lu Yuxing felt a little regretful, so he had to buy a ticket for Sunday.

It was a holiday today, and Lu Yuxing didn't have a job, so he went to the school theater to find Tang Tang.

"A little higher!"

Five hours until the show.As he approached the theater, he saw a group of people working back and forth on ladders. Jiang Bing raised his head and was directing the arrangement of the chandeliers himself.She coughed twice, touched her throat, and waved to the leading actors who were facing each other in the middle of the stage. "Thank you for your hard work. Let's stop for a while and wait for the props team to finish the work."

Tang Tang was discussing the details with Bu Han. He didn't look up when he heard Jiang Bing's words. He walked off the stage while chatting with his partner and sat in the audience.

The lights of the theater were all on, and Lu Yuxing stood in the last row and watched Tang Tang silently.

Tang Tang's expression was very serious, he frowned slightly, and turned sideways to talk to Bu Han.He looked politely into the other's eyes when he spoke, and occasionally used some gestures to explain.

Like a professional actor.

Lu Yuxing stood in the shadow of the lamp, his stern face revealed a slightly thoughtful look.

He vaguely felt that the "teacher" Tang Tang mentioned should be a very powerful person.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a boy with a crew cut hurriedly ran past Lu Yuxing.Holding a box of sandwiches in his arms, he was taken aback when passing by Lu Yuxing, and then returned.

It was Ah Lin who came.

Lu Yuxing was a little surprised, "Are you looking for someone?" He looked down at the sandwich in Ah Lin's arms, then at the new clothes on his body, and instantly understood. "Are you talking about a girlfriend?"

Ah Lin was a little embarrassed, and blushed.

"It's the first day of dating," he scratched his head, and glanced at the busy prop crew on the other side of the stage, "Xu Jingwen from the drama club, you know me."

"Xu Jingwen?" Lu Yuxing followed his gaze.

Jiang Bing was directing the stage layout with a walkie-talkie. Except for the girl in the corner who was adjusting the costumes, all of them were boys who had been pulled as laborers.

The girl was wearing a water-blue dress, her black hair was slightly rolled up, and she was sitting on the steps sewing silently.

She spoke little and her voice was low.Although he is the person in charge of clothing, he always stays out of the matter like a transparent person, just watching everyone silently.If Jiang Bing hadn't had an argument with her that day, Lu Yuxing might not have remembered this person at all.In his decades of memory, there are too many such ordinary and quiet girls.

"Are you chasing her? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Lu Yuxing regained his composure and asked Ah Lin.

Ah Lin chuckled, "She confessed to me! It was raining heavily last night, she ran downstairs to hide from the rain in the boys' dormitory, and when she ran into me, she confessed after I sent her back."

"Her hair is all wet, and there is a Polaroid in her arms." Ah Lin looked nympho, "Such a cute girl confessed to me, of course I agreed."

Not far away, Tang Tang was still discussing with Bu Han. "Polaroid?" Lu Yuxing frowned slightly, "What does she want Polaroid for?"

Ah Lin shook his head, "I don't know!" He was a little anxious, "Oh, don't ask so many questions, I was finally confessed! This is my first love!"

"Your first love is too casual." Lu Yuxing recalled the name of his friend's future wife in his heart, and said coldly: "Don't get too involved, first love will definitely break up."

Ah Lin rushed out, dissatisfied when he heard this, turned around and shouted: "How do you know you can't be a wife? You'd better worry about yourself! You will never find a wife with a straight face all day long!"

The arrogant shouts of dating people echoed in the theater.The logistics team that had been busy at first fell silent, and Xu Jingwen, who was sitting by the side, raised her head in doubt.Even Tang Tang, who was completely focused on discussing the details, came back to his senses. He turned his head slowly, and happened to meet Lu Yuxing who was standing on the highest point.

Lu Yuxing: "..."

The guy who caused the trouble ran away and disappeared, and went to deliver food to his girlfriend.Lu Yuxing recalled the phrase "I will never find a wife", looked away in embarrassment, and raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose.

Looking at his embarrassed look, Tang Tang couldn't help laughing until his dimples appeared.He leaned down and said a few words to Bu Han, then got up and ran towards Lu Yuxing.

The two retreated to the door of the control room behind the auditorium.

"Sorry," Lu Yuxing reached out and patted the sequins on Tang Tang's shoulder, "I couldn't book tonight's performance."

Tang Tang was still in a good mood today, he tilted his head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, you can come and wait for me backstage." He took Lu Yuxing's arm, "Sister Jiang Bing just didn't let you come to the club activity room, and didn't say anything about it." You cannot accompany them as family members."

Lu Yuxing couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth, "That's right." He looked down and saw Tang Tang raised his head and smiled at him, and couldn't help but want to reach out and scrape the tip of his nose.

However, when he raised his hand in the air, the dream from last night suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Go to rehearsal, don't worry about me." He withdrew his hand and patted Tang Tang on the back instead. "I'll treat you to dinner when it's over."

"We have to keep a light diet," Tang Tang blinked, "Let's talk about it after tomorrow."

"By the way," he turned his head to look at the auditorium, and asked, "Is that person just now your friend?"

"Well, a classmate from the same department." Lu Yuxing passed Tang Tang, and also looked at A Lin who was sitting in the audience coaxing his girlfriend.

Falling in love when you are young is like eating fast food. The impulse of youth makes some people have no time to choose and just want to date as soon as possible.But even so, Lu Yuxing still felt that it was a bit weird.

Xu Jingwen has a crush on Tang Tang, this is a secret that Lu Yuxing discovered a long time ago.He wasn't sure if Tang Tang knew about it, so after thinking about it for a moment, he decided not to say anything.

Before the final rehearsal started, Lu Yuxing took Tang Tang to the store to buy some bread to fill his stomach a bit.Tang Tang seemed a little nervous. He kept his mouth tightly shut on the way back to the theater, staring at the distant tree in a daze.

"Is this your first time acting in a drama?" Lu Yuxing asked.

Tang Tang nodded, "I'm still a little nervous," he said, undoing two buttons of his jacket, and showing him the inside pocket. "I'll take the bookmark you gave me with me later, hoping to feel at ease."

His pocket showed a faint oblong mark, with the corner of the bookmark sticking out.The originally wrinkled place was flattened, apparently carefully preserved by Tang Tang.

"Silly."

Lu Yuxing poked his forehead, but his face became a little heavy after seeing the bookmark.

At 55:[-] in the evening, bicycles were parked in front of Junge Theater.The students who bought tickets entered the venue early, leaving only a few off-campus personnel who hurried over and waited anxiously at the ticket gate.

There was silence outside the theater, and the street lights came on suddenly at seven o'clock, while inside the theater, the auditorium was crowded with people, but no one made any noise, they were all waiting for the performance to start.

Lu Yuxing sat on a bench outside the theater, clutching a pack of unpacked Marlboro in his hand.Wearing a windbreaker, he waited silently under the street lamp until all the people checking tickets had entered the venue, then he showed the work pass Tang Tang gave him, entered the lobby, and went straight to the backstage.

The lights in the theater dimmed slowly, and behind the blue curtain, the prop team was rapidly setting up the scene for the first act.

The backstage was packed with people.Makeup artists, assistants, actors, directors, and logistics running around.A group of people crowded in the narrow aisle, nervously waiting for the opening.

Taking advantage of his height, Lu Yuxing immediately spotted Tang Tang standing in the middle and preparing to play.

In the chaos around him, Tang Tang was sorting out his shirt and yellow jacket.His hair was all combed back, light makeup was on, he was wearing a gorgeous dark suit that fit as if it was custom-made, his head was slightly raised, and his face was full of frivolity.

The cheerful and rapid piano sounds, the blue curtain on the stage slowly rises, and the retro-colored living room of the noble family is presented in front of the audience.The actor who played the role of the old butler tidied up his tuxedo and entered the stage with a snack.Afterwards, the piano sound stopped suddenly, and Algy, who played another leading role, calmly walked onto the stage from the right and began to discuss champagne and marriage with the butler.

There was thunderous applause off the court, and the audience's emotions were ignited with his appearance.

Lu Yuxing squeezed in from the crowd and came to Tang Tang's side.

The stage lights leaked in, and through the light, Lu Yuxing saw tiny beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.In another minute, Tang Tang appeared on the stage.

"Mr. Jack." Lu Yuxing gently put his shoulders on his shoulders, helping to adjust the green-gray tie. "Be cool, your fiancée is a beautiful noble lady."

Tang Tang turned around in confusion, and smelled Lu Yuxing's smoky fingers.He paused for a second, then raised his eyebrows like Lu Yuxing usually did, and asked with a sly smile, "Like this?"

Under the light, when he smiled, he was completely different from his usual soft and gentle appearance. Lu Yuxing was slightly taken aback, thinking of his previous appearance.

"Go." He patted Tang Tang's straight back, "I'll wait for you backstage."

After the words fell, the old butler on the stage went around to the backstage, and after signaling to Tang Tang behind him, he shouted excitedly: "Mr. Ernest Worthing!"

Lu Yuxing stepped aside in a hurry, and the moment the door was pushed open, Tang Tang appeared behind the housekeeper with an exaggerated and frivolous smile, hugging his friend Algy excitedly.

His movements are smooth and natural, and his lines are also very good.The two lay on the sofa while reminiscing about the past, Tang Tang lay lazily with his legs crossed, and after a few high-spirited talks, the image of a vain playboy came to life.

Everyone in the backstage saw that the two male protagonists played very well, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Yuxing stood at the entrance on the right, avoiding Jiang Bing who was not far away, and watched silently for a while.After confirming that Tang Tang was in good condition, instead of waiting at the spot as agreed, he turned around and left the theater, and went straight to the nearest school gate.

The night wind blew the hem of the windbreaker flying, Lu Yuxing lit a cigarette, took two puffs, saw an empty taxi approaching in the distance, put out the cigarette, and raised his hand to stop the car.

At the time of shift change, the driver seemed a little impatient.He rolled down the car window and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Yuxing put his hands in his pockets, bent slightly: "Jinning Road, No. 103."
