Chapter 19

Yin Xiaoran spent Christmas quietly, did not reveal it to anyone, and hid it secretly in his heart.

He was glad that he met He Qingcheng in December, one festival after another, there is no shortage of reasons to get together.

Yin Xiaoran had planned to invite He Qingcheng to watch the performance.On weekdays, he was sour and sweet, and everyone saw him in every way, but He Qingcheng had never seen the devotion on stage.Yin Xiaoran is very clear about where her strengths lie, talent and talent are always attractive, without exception.

I thought about how it would take more than two months for "Who's Afraid" to be finished, and I had to hold back the big move for a long time, and the feelings could only be simmered on a low fire.Unexpectedly, the theater added a thank-you performance of "Coincidence" on New Year's Eve. By chance, Yin Xiaoran was helped out.

From the small island to the return to the country, there are actually many opportunities for the two of them to be alone, but Yin Xiaoran knows that chasing people can't be so forced all the time.He has to take a step back now, not to ignore it, but to use the power of the masses.

Yin Xiaoran promised to invite everyone to the theater and dinner when the group was established before, and just took this opportunity to do it all at once.

The light bulb is to be used at the right time.In a group, those who have a unique emotional connection will be especially obvious in the noisy atmosphere.A single spark can start a prairie fire, but you have to borrow the wind, right?

Yin Xiaoran didn't bother He Qingcheng, he called Ji Bai directly and asked him to help count the colleagues who are willing to come to the show.

Ji Bai knew how hard it was to do a drama in a small theater, so he didn't accept Yin Xiaoran's gift of tickets, and he clearly stated that he would give money, and financial expenses were regarded as employee benefits.

Yin Xiaoran had to work that day, so naturally he didn't have time to have dinner with everyone.After discussing with Ji Bai, he decided to invite everyone to drink juniper berries after the performance, and enter into the new year lively.

New Years Eve is always spent with the ones you love.It's interesting to say that the people who came to see the performance were basically single young people who played together during the team building, and they knew each other well, so they were more comfortable getting along.

He Qingcheng greeted the administration one day in advance, and asked Xiao Zhang to order flowers from the florist in the name of the company, and sent them to the backstage of the theater two hours before the performance, wishing the performance a success.But after lunch that day, He Qingcheng went to the flower shop alone, and picked and matched a small bunch by himself. It was unassuming but thoughtful, and planned to give it to Yin Xiaoran after the performance.

As soon as they arrived at the theater, Zhou Mo and Ji Bai yelled to go backstage to greet Yin Xiaoran, but were stopped by He Qingcheng.

"Don't bother him before the opening, it will affect Mr. Yin's work."

"Boss, he will be happy if you go to see him! After a while, the acting will be like beating chicken blood..." Zhou Mo said with a smile.

He Qingcheng was still unwilling, even Ji Bai just wanted to send a text message to tell Yin Xiaoran where they were sitting, but Boss He refused to let him, and the phone was confiscated immediately.

He Qingcheng said that performing is a matter of 100% devotion. If Yin Xiaoran pays special attention because of familiarity, it will inevitably distract him on stage.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Yin Xiaoran's professionalism, it's that all parties are worried about him.

Drama performance is a stroke of ink, and there is no chance to do it again.He didn't want Yin Xiaoran to have any regrets in any of the performances, not to mention that this was the last thank-you show this year, so there had to be a good ending.

The theater is not big, with only one floor. The tickets He Qingcheng and the others bought were in the middle of the auditorium.When they came in, more than half of the seats were occupied, and the audience was still entering the venue one after another, with noisy voices.

When checking the tickets, the propagandist distributed the foldout of the plot introduction and cast and crew of "Just in Time" to each audience, and the still photos of Yin Xiaoran and the leading actress were printed on the foldout.He Qingcheng looked at the familiar face on the material, then looked at the name of the main creator, and suddenly felt a lot of pride in his heart.

The heating in the theater was fully turned on, and He Qingcheng put his coat on his lap with a small bouquet of flowers he bought on it.Now he was chatting with his colleagues, but his ears were very sharp, and he often heard the audience around him say Yin Xiaoran's name.

"The golden retriever brother is quite famous in the circle!" Ji Bai joked beside him.

Yin Xiaoran should also be famous, He Qingcheng thought.

He has seen Yin Xiaoran's concentration when reading the script, and he knows what time Yin Xiaoran goes home after rehearsing every day.How many nights, he listened to Yin Xiaoran talking about those interesting rehearsals, talking about the stage, talking about performances, and the grievances on Christmas Eve...

He Qingcheng can tell that Yin Xiaoran really loves this job, and he goes forward bravely, like a knight.

Also, Yin Xiaoran's skin is also a gift from God.

He has painted Yin Xiaoran twice, observing carefully, even noticed the small mole on Yin Xiaoran's ear.Yin Xiaoran always gives people a refreshing look, so when He Qingcheng draws him, the lines are also concise and clear.

That night, Yin Xiaoran leaned on the sofa as a model.The man said he was not sleepy, but in less than 10 minutes, Yin Xiaoran fell asleep with the pillow in his arms.He Qingcheng looked at Yin Xiaoran and smiled unconsciously. He brought the quilt from the bedroom, but seeing Yin Xiaoran's strange posture, he couldn't bear to let him curl up so uncomfortable all the time.

He Qingcheng didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he passed Yin Xiaoran's knee with one hand, wrapped his arms around his back with the other, carried Yin Xiaoran to the bedroom, and let him fall asleep comfortably.

For the few steps from the living room to the guest bedroom, He Qingcheng's heart almost jumped out.The moment he hugged Yin Xiaoran, he regretted it. What should he do if this person suddenly wakes up, and how can he explain it... Do you take advantage of others while they are sleeping?There is really no place for He Qingcheng's old face.

But thanks to my daily fitness, getting up, walking, and putting down are all steady.What He Qingcheng didn't know was that such a big golden retriever with long hands and legs had never been hugged like this before.

The staff announced the countdown to the opening, the lights in the theater gradually dimmed, and the quietness of the smooth transition could be clearly felt throughout the space.

He Qingcheng suddenly became nervous.

He thought it was funny, he was just an audience, and he didn't act on stage, so why was he nervous?

The curtain of the stage was opened, and Yin Xiaoran was wearing a long gown and a scarf, standing under the chasing light with a letter in his hand.

Everyone's eyes were on Yin Xiaoran, including He Qingcheng's.Under such silent gaze, Yin Xiaoran said the first line in "Just in Time".

"I don't know why I went to school to pick up my neighbor's child that day? But I was so lucky to meet you on that day, and I realized what the missionaries said—angels are in the world."

·

The whole show was a success.The hero and heroine were separated because of the war, and He Qingcheng also quietly wiped away tears from the monologue that was spoken on both sides of the stage.

The old man's heart is softer than anyone imagined, but he still pretends to be strong.He Qingcheng endured it for a long time, but a tear still welled up in his eyes.He wiped it as if rubbing his eyes, and the tear stains disappeared, but the eye sockets were still red.

At the end, many audience members stood up and applauded, and the actors came out to call the curtain twice.Colleagues shouted Yin Xiaoran's name loudly, and Zhou Mo even whistled, all of which were presumptuous.He Qingcheng stood in the hustle and bustle, never leaving Yin Xiaoran's eyes, with a gentle expression and a smile on his mouth.

Because it is a thank-you session, there is still a short period of audience interaction half an hour after the end.

Ji Bai euphemistically called it "occupying a seat", and took the others to the juniper berries first, leaving the big boss alone.

When Yin Xiaoran went backstage to remove her makeup, she had already received information from Zhou Mo, and knew that He Qingcheng was waiting for him.After tidying up, he began to urge the other actors crazily, wishing to put a rocket behind everyone's buttocks and rush to the stage with a whip.

"I said Brother Yin, you didn't even go to the celebration dinner, and you're still urging people here, it's too embarrassing!"

"Exactly! Look at the bouquet of flowers in the dressing room, it's so big that it almost covers the mirror... What's the matter, are you in a hurry to set off the New Year's Eve cannon with the owner who sent the flowers?"

"Guess what's going on, everyone, brother Yin has been fighting for a year."

"what?"

"—On Protracted War."

Everyone in the production team is very familiar with Yin Xiaoran, and when they joke around, they let themselves go, and talk a lot.

In fact, the big guys are thinking about things in their hearts. After all, it's New Year's Eve, and they didn't stay in the backstage for a long time, and they almost came out.

As soon as the main creator showed his face, he heard several girls screaming desperately in the front row: "Yin Xiaoran! Yin Xiaoran!" The deity couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Yin Xiaoran swept his gaze, and soon found He Qingcheng who was sitting near the aisle.This can be regarded as the intuition and tacit understanding that he and Mr. He have gotten along with each other recently.This person is unwilling to show off, and will definitely watch you in an inconspicuous place without disturbing, but he is caring.

Small theaters pay attention to intimacy, and the success of a drama is also inseparable from the support of the audience. Like friends, you can chat and ask any questions.Actors and directors sat directly on the side of the stage without using any microphones, and there were a lot of jokes during the questions and answers.

What are the fun things to do during rehearsals, who loves to forget lyrics, who is the strongest in crying scenes, who likes to argue with the director, who is responsible for daily comedy.

The audience rushed to ask questions, and the creators picked one answer in order.After three rounds, the interaction time is basically over.The director was about to end, but Yin Xiaoran had another bad idea, pointing to He Qingcheng in the corner and asked: "This audience is very quiet, how do you feel after watching this show?"

After Yin Xiaoran asked this question, everyone looked back at He Qingcheng like the meerkats on the African grassland.

He Qingcheng obviously didn't expect Yin Xiaoran to do this, and his eyes were a little flustered.But he quickly calmed down, got up and said "like" with a smile.

"Then does this enthusiastic audience have any questions you want to ask?" Yin Xiaoran didn't spare him, and asked another question.

Seeing Yin Xiaoran's sudden excitement, the other actors basically guessed that the person in the audience was probably the owner of "He Qingcheng Studio".

"Excuse me, Mr. Yin Xiaoran..."

Other viewers asked Yin Xiaoran questions, most of them called him by his nickname "Brother Xiaoxiao", only He Qingcheng was so formal and seemed a bit old-fashioned and cute.

"May I ask Mr. Yin Xiaoran what new drama has you been in contact with recently? When can I see you again on stage?"

Yin Xiaoran laughed immediately when he heard the question.He knew in his heart that this person was taking the opportunity to promote his new play!It was Mr. He who was strategizing, with the demeanor of a general.

When the interaction was over and the stage was cleared, He Qingcheng took out the flowers that had been hidden all along. "Hi, I'm Yin Xiaoran's friend. May I know where is more convenient to wait for him?" He asked a little girl who came out from the backstage.

"Hee hee, Mr. He, right? We all guessed it. It's cold outside, you just sit here for a while, Brother Yin will be fine soon."

"sorry to bother you."

"Don't bother, don't bother! Let me tell you something secretly..." The little girl leaned closer and whispered: "Brother Yin is laughing like a peony flower in the background. How many years have I been working with Brother Yin, and this is the first time I have met someone He was treated in a submissive manner. Brother Yin is really lucky to have such a perfect boyfriend as Mr. He!"

He Qingcheng still wanted to explain, but the little girl had already waved her hands and walked away, still saying: "What's wrong with this world?! Handsome guys are accepted by handsome guys, we single young women are suffering..."

Boyfriend, He Qingcheng hasn't heard this title for a long time.

He had forgotten what it was like to be a boyfriend, and he forgot what it was like to have a boyfriend.Just now, the little girl blurted out such a sentence, which really made He Qingcheng feel sweet in his heart.

What is it like to be Yin Xiaoran's boyfriend?What is it like for Yin Xiaoran to be a boyfriend?

He Qingcheng thought: it is not difficult to take a step forward, if you want to get love, at least you have to be brave?

Yin Xiaoran came out within 2 minutes, his face was full of smiles, and he was still holding the large bouquet of flowers that he gave in the name of the studio.

"Is Boss He competing with me? Last time I gave you 99 flowers, your bunch has doubled, right?"

He Qingcheng said: "There are 28 people in the studio, each with ten flowers, and here are 270 flowers."

"Mr. He bullied me for not studying enough? Are you still ten flowers away?"

"Here." He Qingcheng took out a bouquet of white and green flowers from behind, elegant and delicate, just like him. "Congratulations to Mr. Yin for his successful performance."

He suddenly went up and gave Yin Xiaoran a hug. The hug was very loose and superficial, because the large bouquet of flowers was sandwiched between the two of them.Before Yin Xiaoran could even feel the temperature on Mr. He's body, the hug was over.

Yin Xiaoran couldn't believe it himself, who stretched out his hand first?And the small bouquet of flowers in He Qingcheng's hand, how could it be more bright and moving than these 270 flowers?

Yin Xiaoran covered half of his face with one hand, lowering his head to prevent the laughter on his face from being too obvious. "Mr. He, in the first second of the new year, can you give me another hug?"

He Qingcheng didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

"Let's go!" Yin Xiaoran and He Qingcheng exchanged the flowers in their hands, and lightly put their arms around the man's waist and pushed: "Go drink!"
