Chapter 99 Sobbing

Compared to the last time we met, Lu Yuxing seemed much more stable.

His voice was deep and magnetic, but his tone was light and ethereal.Tang Tang stared at the water glass in front of him, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"No...it's fine."

Tang Tang rubbed the back of his right hand subconsciously, and the joints were slightly red.

He managed to force a smile, avoided Lu Yuxing's gaze, and asked, "Did Director Zhong ask you to film?"

"En." Lu Yuxing lowered his eyes, staring at Tang Tang's slightly red back of his hand.

A word of concern was stuck in his mouth, and after a few detours, he swallowed it again.

"I thought it was Qin Ran who came, you know that." Lu Yuxing changed the subject, "I didn't expect it to be you."

The expression on Tang Tang's face changed slightly for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.

"I was tricked by Brother Yan. He lied to me that Director Zhong asked him to play with me." He shook his head and smiled regretfully. Play Gu Ming alive?"

"But I read the news, and your manager said that you are sick and resting at home." Tang Tang lowered his head and twirled his fingers around the mouth of the warm cup, "Besides, I didn't expect Brother Yan to lie to me..."

Lu Yuxing interrupted him suddenly: "You don't need to explain, I know you didn't come here because of me."

Tang Tang froze for a moment, raised his head, and met Shang Lu Yuxing's eyes.

"That was not what I meant."

"You come to make a gay film, does your fiancée know?"

Lu Yuxing looked at him quietly, and asked this question in an almost colleague-like tone.

Hearing this, Tang Tang frowned slightly, and the smile on his face faded.He wanted to explain this matter properly, but Lu Yuxing's calm expression made him feel inexplicably angry.

Tang Tang, who was used to gentleness on weekdays, pursed his lips and nodded angrily.

"Agreed, she is very supportive of me."

The corners of Lu Yuxing's mouth moved slightly.He glanced at Tang Tang, raised his head and drank the hot tea in the cup.

The hot tea mixed with a bitter aroma flowed through his mouth like magma.

"Okay." Lu Yuxing put down the glass, and the glass collided with a slight sound. "Then, happy cooperation."

He got up and left, his two long legs went around between Tang Tang's seat and the sofa, but they didn't touch each other at all, and went out the door like the wind.Outside the door, Assistant Xu's figure flashed by.

Tang Tang turned his head and watched him close the door with no smile on his face.

He let out a breath and lay back on the chair wearily.

The ceiling was printed with complicated patterns, just like the patterns carved on the cover of the "wisteria", which disturbed him more and more.

"Didn't you think it was me?" Tang Tang stretched out his hand, the place where he was burned was still slightly red.

He muttered a few words to himself, his arms drooped weakly, and he let out a long sigh.

"Hey……"

On the other side, Lu Yuxing left the room, and Assistant Xu who was waiting at the side rushed up to meet him.Lu Yuxing didn't stop for a moment, and walked downstairs to the outside of the hotel, Assistant Xu followed behind him.

You don't need to look at his face to feel that Lu Yuxing is in a particularly bad mood at the moment.He took out his room card, and when he passed the hall, he casually threw it to Yu Feng who was waiting beside him.

Yu Feng put the room card in his pocket and followed him out of the hotel.

"Lu, Mr. Lu. Are you alright?" Assistant Xu quickened his pace and walked side by side to the other side of Lu Yuxing, "Director Zhong really had no choice but to do this. He knew that you two would not be able to deal with each other, but this drama is really important to us." very important..."

It was getting dark outside the hotel, and a few old men carrying burdens to buy special products were squatting on the side of the road at the door.The two followed Lu Yuxing across the road and headed north.

"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, don't be angry!" Assistant Xu was sweating on his forehead. He was not as young as Assistant Zhang, and he was short of breath after just two steps.

Lu Yuxing just walked forward in silence, with his hands in his pockets, and the wind was blowing under his feet.

Yu Feng got more and more headache the more he listened.These people said that Lu Yuxing and Tang Tang had an enmity, but his boss obviously couldn't put it down because of Tang Tang's album; he thought that Lu Yuxing and Tang Tang were rivals in love, but when the two met, they couldn't say it changed.

"Boss, what's going on..."

Lu Yuxing stopped suddenly, turned his head and asked Yu Feng:

"Do you have any money with you?"

Assistant Xu immediately became anxious and stopped him: "Mr. Lu! You can't leave!"

Yu Feng glanced at him, then took out the wallet from his pocket, opened it, and revealed the colorful banknotes inside.

With a cold face, Lu Yuxing took out a red one.

"I didn't run away." He turned around, slowed down his pace, turned into the restaurant in front, and said flatly, "Have dinner."

Assistant Xu's heart sank into his stomach, heaved a sigh of relief, and followed the two of them with lingering fear.

At nine o'clock in the evening, on the second floor of the hotel.

Zhong Ming's own suite was originally not that big, but now there are more than a dozen people sitting there, making it extremely crowded.

Director, screenwriter, producer, starring, stage design, lighting, photography...all the core members of the crew are here.Except for the dancers, they are all men in their thirties and 50s.They all stayed up for several nights preparing for the play, and they opened the windows and stood by the side to smoke for fear of getting sleepy.

Zhong Ming moved a chair and sat, facing the thin and frail screenwriter and stage girl. On the spacious sofa, there were only Tang Tang and Lu Yuxing.

The two sat on one side, silent, looking at the complete script in their hands.

Xie Hui gave Zhong Ming a sideways glance. The other party was so absorbed in reading the script that he didn't notice anything unusual about the atmosphere in the room.

As early as a few hours ago, everyone in the room knew that Zhong Ming "tricked" him into starring.As for the unwarranted enmity between Tang Tang and Lu Yuxing, they have long made it into a series of more than [-] dramas in their hearts.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Ming couldn't feel anything when he was working, he frowned, and looked at Xie Hui who winked at him, "Let's start now?"

"let's start."

Lu Yuxing stopped turning over the script, turned slightly sideways, and looked at Tang Tang.

"Well, I'm ready." Tang Tang passed his gaze and gestured to Zhong Ming. "Director Zhong, where do we start?"

Zhong Ming leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees, and flipped through the marked scripts.

"From the first time Gu Ming talked to Lin Le." Zhong Ming said, "Everyone listen, if there is any mistake."

The expression on his face was serious and serious, and the others put away their gossip and started working.

Tonight's reading is the last and only time before starting the machine.Lu Yuxing and Tang Tang received the final version of the script three days ago. In such a short period of time, they have already grasped the lines and characters very thoroughly.

There are no sets, no props, and no one playing the board.

Lu Yuxing concentrated on reading the script, took out a cigarette from his pocket with his right hand, and lit it.Out of the corner of his eye, Tang Tang, who was sitting beside him, glanced at him. This was the first time he smoked in front of Tang Tang.

He and Tang Tang sat side by side, with an open script on their knees.The two didn't look at each other, they just relied on dialogue to deduce all this, turning the words on the paper into life.

What is recorded on that piece of paper is the story that happened on the first night of traveling in the desert.

The moon and stars were sparse, and Gu Ming, who was depressed, came out of the room and sat on the swing outside the hotel to smoke.The temperature was low at night, and he felt cold after smoking two cigarettes. When he returned to his room to add clothes, he found that he hadn't brought his keys.

So he wandered into the hotel with a cigarette in his mouth and asked Lin Le at the front desk to help open the door.

Lu Yuxing constructed the scene at that time based on his memory and imagination.

He took a puff of cigarette very well, the bitter smoke, accompanied by his low and slightly tired voice.

"Brother, I just forgot to bring the key. 209, please open it for me."

Lin Le sat at the front desk all night, and had already noticed this downcast man.He recognized this person. When the tour group came yesterday, the tourists were all in twos and threes, and he was the only one walking alone at the end of the group.

He dug out the 209 key from the drawer and led Gu Ming upstairs.

"Sir, it's too cold here at night, be careful of catching a cold."

Tang Tang lowered his eyes halfway, with Lin Le's gentle and innocent smile on his face, and read briskly. "If you want to go out for a walk, you can sit under the big tree outside for a while. It's a little more comfortable on the leeward side of the hillside."

His voice is very pleasant, like two keys tied together in his hands, crisp and pleasant.

Tang Tang's voice made him lose his mind for a moment, and his thoughts were pulled back.

"Alone, it's not interesting." He tried his best to calm down and continued to read his lines, "I'm just wandering around."

Gu Ming, who was physically and mentally exhausted, leaned against the wall, watching Lin Le open the door for him.He wanted to light a cigarette, and fumbled in his pocket, only to find that the lighter had been left on the front desk.

"Brother," he looked at Lin Le, "Do you have a lighter? Borrow one."

With a slight metallic sound, the door opened.

Lin Le turned her head and smiled at him, "There are matches."

He took out a box of matches from the pocket of his loose coat, took out one and lit it, shielding his left hand from the wind, and leaned in front of Gu Ming.

Gu Ming didn't think much about it, he stretched out his hand to hold his fair wrist, and brought Huo closer.

Lu Yuxing moved his hand to his mouth with the cigarette in his hand, thinking about the scene in a trance.

The corridors of the hotel at night are dim, with only a little spark igniting the smoke.Lin Le's face was flushed red by the flames, and the two of them gathered together, the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous, but the person concerned didn't notice it.

The soot fell on the back of Lu Yuxing's hand, which was slightly hot.

He inexplicably imagined what kind of scene he would see when he held Tang Tang's wrist.His hands trembled a little, and he stared straight at the script with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Gu Ming's cigarette was lit.He let go of Lin Le's cool wrist, a smile finally appeared on his sad face.

"Thank you."
