Chapter 56 The Evolution of a Class Beauty
Sheng Yan looked at Pu Yu who was speaking on the stage.
It was truly a case of a jade tree facing the wind. No one was more suitable to be the opening speaker than him, and no one could better represent the four major boys' schools than him.
He was a perfect example of a top boys' school. His family background, appearance, and talent were all top-notch. Even his speech was better written than previous speakers. Pu Guanting sat in the audience. He looked stern, but his eyes at this moment revealed a fatherly look.
He also has a very healthy and happy family.
Sheng Yan turned his head to look at Ning Song beside him and saw that Ning Song was staring at Pu Yu, as if in a daze.
Sheng Yan pursed his lips, not wanting Ning Song to be immersed in Pu Yu's charm, so he interrupted his thoughts, lowered his head slightly and said to Ning Song: "Who is that Qin Tong?"
He was close, and the hot air from his mouth blew on Ningsong's ears. Ningsong only felt that his ears were very sensitive: "Hmm?"
Sheng Yan gestured to him.
Ning Song looked over and said, "I've never seen him before, and I don't know who he is."
After Pu Yu finished his speech, Ning Song joined the audience in clapping. After clapping a few times, he realized that he was the only one clapping among them.
Everyone looked at him and he put his hand down awkwardly.
Sheng Yan pursed his lips.
The remaining time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was their turn to play.
The backstage space was much more spacious. Ning Song pinched his waist and took a deep breath. He was the kind of person who wanted to do his best in everything. No matter how chaotic his mind was, he would clear it all out and focus only on the performance. He saw Pu Yu take a small DV camera to the audience. The host was already cueing them. Ning Song saw Qiao Qiao, who was sitting very close to the front, waving his hands wildly. He relaxed a lot and heard Chen Mo hook his hand at the entrance: "Ready."
Sheng Yan was standing at the front. He was the first to appear, and Li Qingyuan and the others followed behind him.
Their music started playing, and the king came on stage with his ministers and guards. Ning Song took two steps forward, and Chen Mo came forward to straighten his clothes, saying, "You are the best, just let go. This is just for our own amusement within the school, don't be too nervous."
Ning Song nodded. Seeing the light from the stage shining on Sheng Yan, he felt like he was looking at a medieval oil painting.
Sheng Yan is really handsome.
He is truly the king of the stage.
He came on stage amid the music and followed the others with his head lowered. The stage darkened a little and the others could not see clearly. A big beam of light shone on Sheng Yan, and a small beam of light shone on him.
He lowered his head and recited his lines, long confessional passages in English, then rolled up the hem of his clothes to reveal the short sword tied to his calf.
Pu Yu held up the DV, stood at the edge of the dark audience seats, and looked at Ning Song in the camera.
Ning Song wore heavy makeup today, which actually made her look a bit different from him, too flamboyant and glamorous. Two beams of light illuminated the two people, one in front and one behind, reflecting each other. Pu Yu didn't want to see them in the same frame, so he pushed the camera in and only illuminated Ning Song.
Ning Song's every move is captured in his camera.
Someone leaned over to look at his camera, then chuckled softly. He turned around and saw it was Shen Lingsi.
"Have you reconciled with Xiaosong?"
Pu Yu said nothing.
Shen Lingsi had already gotten used to his indifference, and stood beside him with his hands in his pockets, his glasses reflecting the light from the stage. Their principal leaned slightly toward Pu Guanting, as if introducing someone on the stage to him. Pu Guanting was slightly startled, and his eyes followed Ning Song's figure.
Ning Song carried the dagger on his back and walked around the stage. Then came the climax of the short play. The chaotic assassination began. The treacherous minister played by Li Qingyuan came forward and stabbed Ning Song with a sword. Ning Song fell forward and was caught in Sheng Yan's arms.
He had a thin figure, and his costume was tight around the waist, which made him look even more slender and frail. When he fell into Sheng Yan's arms, he looked like a fallen leaf.
Pu Yu had no choice but to take a picture of Sheng Yan now. Because of the angle, he could only take a picture of Sheng Yan's face.
Sheng Yan's face was really more handsome than that of a celebrity. His hands stroked Ning Song's cheeks and rested on his forehead. Pu Yu felt that they were almost kissing each other, so he turned the camera to the audience and scanned the area.
Shen Lingsi suddenly spoke up and said, "Sheng Yan also likes him, did you know that?"
Pu Yu frowned.
"You know?" Shen Lingsi was quite surprised.
He stared at Sheng Yan, who was speaking with a pure English accent on the stage. The entire stage play seemed to be tailor-made for him. He was actually a little uneasy in his heart, whether it was Pu Yu or Sheng Yan.
"Let's see who has the best luck among us." He said to Pu Yu.
Pu Yu's fingers gripping the DV tightened.
Who else could it be? It could only be him.
He could not accept any other outcome.
Others might be able to live without Tranquility, but he couldn't.
He can only win, not lose.
In fact, Ning Song had no more words to say afterwards. He just needed to lie down and pretend to be dead. This should have been his most relaxing moment, but Sheng Yan hugged him tightly, pressing his forehead against his. He could feel Sheng Yan's breath, a very fresh breath, with a faint scent of rose and cedar. He closed his eyes, not even looking at Sheng Yan, but his body began to heat up.
After finally waiting until the stage darkened, the performance finally ended.
He heard Sheng Yan calling him with a smile: "It's over, you can open your eyes now."
When he opened his eyes, he saw Sheng Yan looking at him with his head down and smiling. Perhaps he had not yet completely recovered from the performance, as Sheng Yan looked at him with such a warm gaze.
He quickly got up and reached out to pull Sheng Yan up. The stage was already brightly lit. They held hands, bowed, and then turned and walked off the stage.
As soon as they entered the backstage, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and some people jumped up excitedly: "It's finally fucking over!"
Everyone laughed, and Chen Mo high-fived them one by one. When it was Ning Song's turn, he smiled and said, "You performed very well."
Ning Song smiled and noticed someone put a hand on his shoulder. This was a very common action, but he immediately turned around and saw that it was Li Qingyuan. He inexplicably relaxed a lot. Sheng Yan looked at him through Li Qingyuan and said, "I made your face look messy."
Not only Ning Song, but also he himself had fake blood on his forehead. A group of them walked out of the long corridor and went up to the second floor lounge. Ning Song first took off his costume, changed into his own clothes, and then went to the bathroom to wash his face. While washing, he saw Sheng Yan come in and turn on the faucet next to him. He stood up and watched Sheng Yan wash off all the makeup on his face. The fake blood on his face was washed into the pool by the water. People going to the bathroom came and went behind them. After being highly nervous, they completely relaxed. Ning Song wiped his chin with a cotton pad and saw Sheng Yan looking at him in the mirror and smiling.
The laughter made my peaceful heart messy.
He realized it later and thought, what is this?
One Pu Yu is not enough, here comes Sheng Yan.
How could Sheng Yan like him!
He poked the hero's hole!
Sheng Yan only felt his heart surge. He wanted to hug Ning Song very much. He had never felt such a strong desire before. But at this moment, he was a little afraid to go forward. He just wiped his hands and asked, "Do you want to leave directly or stay to watch the show?"
"Watch the show." Ning Song said, "After it's over, I have to attend the dinner party organized by our department."
Sheng Yan said: "You won't eat with us?"
"Teacher Jiang and his friends will also go. We agreed on this two days ago. Brother Shen repeatedly told me to go."
"Where are you eating?"
Ning Song shook his head: "I don't know."
Sheng Yan came out and asked Shen Lingsi directly.
Shen Lingsi frowned slightly and asked Sheng Yan: "Are you coming?"
What do you think? Pu Yu, one clingy guy, isn’t that enough? Here comes another one?
Sheng Yan said: "We can go to a place where we can visit each other."
Shen Lingsi had no way to refuse him, so he just said, "Let's go to Baixiangmen. We have to make reservations there in advance, so there may not be any seats available."
Bai Xiang Men is located in the food court of their school. It is considered to be the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the food court.
After hearing this, Sheng Yan immediately took out his phone and went out to make a contact.
Shen Lingsi was really worried that he would ruin her confession plan, and she felt a little annoyed. She said to Ning Song, "It's still early, why don't you go back to the office first."
"I'm going to the audience to watch the show," he said.
Shen Lingsi said: "They are all full."
"I'll just stand in the aisle." Ning Song said as he walked towards the audience seats. He urgently needed to be alone!
He sneaked in through the entrance and was suddenly caught by someone. It was Pu Yu, who took him directly to his side.
He smelled the familiar scent on Pu Yu, and felt as if that scent was pulling his soul towards him.
I don’t know why, but Ningsong has a particularly complicated emotion. The dampness in my heart is like a heavy rain, tense, and a little sour.
He thought, if Pu Yu knew that Sheng Yan liked him, given his jealous nature, he would be jealous to death.
Then he thought, no wonder Pu Yu was always jealous of Sheng Yan. It seems that rivals in love have a natural sense of smell that is much more sensitive than his.
How could he be so slow?
How will he make friends with boys in the future?
Ahhhhhhh.
He tilted his head slightly and bumped Pu Yu's shoulder with his forehead.
Pu Yu was confused and turned to look at him. Ning Song pursed his lips and his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked up the phone and took a look. It was a series of messages from Qiao Qiao.
Before he could reply to the first message, the second one came, buzzing loudly, making his mind tense up instantly and he was almost a little scared.
"Where are you?"
"You acted so well just now. Those assassination moves were so cool and handsome!"
"Come quickly, the person next to me left after watching the grand school hunk, so I saved the seat for you."
“I’m in the third row!”
"Look at me, I see you!"
Ning Song looked up and saw Qiao Qiao standing up slightly and hooking his finger at him madly.
Ning Song felt that he had PSTD. He looked at Qiao Qiao's blurry little face with a worried heart. It was not until he suddenly thought of Deng Xun that his heart calmed down instantly.
He really was paranoid.
Having two handsome guys like him isn't enough. What else does he want? Is he fantasizing that there will be a third person who likes him?
He is either too slow or too sensitive, he is also too extreme!
He still has to believe that there are more normal friendships in this world, even if he lives in a BL world and is surrounded by gay men.
Yeah, yeah, he's surrounded by gays.
He suddenly realized this and felt his hair stand on end. Looking around, he didn't see any other women except the female host in a skirt. They were all men, in their teens and teens.
"Go and sit down." Pu Yu said to him.
He crouched over and sat down next to Qiao Qiao. As soon as he sat down, he saw Sheng Yan coming in and standing at the entrance. The white hair was a color that could not be ignored even in the dim audience seats, and it flickered in front of his eyes and in his heart. He looked at Pu Yu who was not far away. The whole person was almost hidden in the darkness, with only a little white at the collar.
Putting aside personal preferences, they are all top-notch in their respective categories, there is no difference between high and low, it all depends on which type you like. Ning Song still finds it incredible.
This restless mood faded away when Li You came on stage. He picked up his phone to record a video, and saw Li You standing in the middle of the last row a little awkwardly, reciting in a very methodical manner, and he couldn't help but grin.
Li You is very cute like this.
It was almost nine o'clock when all the programs were over. The lights in the audience came on and everyone stood up. Pu Yu waited for Ningsong to come to him, and suddenly he heard their principal call, "Pu Yu, come here."
Pu Yu turned his head and saw Pu Guanting and the principal looking at him, and Shen Lingsi standing beside them, smiling gently.
Pu Yu went over, and Qiao Qiao and Ning Song followed the crowd out. When they went out, they saw Sheng Yan standing against the wall and waving at them.
As the crowd moved, Ning Song glanced at Sheng Yan's smiling face and walked over with Qiao Qiao. Sheng Yan said, "Let's go to Baixiang Gate too. Qiao Qiao, come with us?"
Qiao Qiao asked: "Is Aning also going to Baixiangmen?"
Ning Song nodded and pulled Qiao Qiao towards the exit. It was still raining outside and there were a lot of people blocking the entrance. Ning Song went to look for his umbrella, but maybe someone took the wrong one because there were too many people, so he couldn't find it.
Sheng Yan said: "Let's play a round."
Ning Song glanced at Qiao Qiao and walked away.
The two of them stood in the open space outside the theater holding the same umbrella, waiting for Qiao Qiao. He asked Sheng Yan, "Where's Brother Yuan?"
"He went to Baixiangmen first." Sheng Yan said.
At this moment, their shoulders were touching. Sheng Yan was a little excited, but he didn't dare to show it. Instead, he was much quieter than usual. Ning Song's heartbeat was a little fast, and he felt a little sad, as if the rain had fallen on his heart. He saw a group of people standing in the fire escape not far away. Some people had opened umbrellas and raised them up in advance. Then he saw Pu Guanting and the principal coming out. A black Maybach with a white pine needle flag and a black Bentley were parked on the side of the road.
Soon after, Shen Lingsi and Pu Yu came out. Shen Lingsi stopped by the roadside and watched the principal and his friends get into the car with a smile on his face. Pu Yu also got in. The rest of the people stood in the rain with umbrellas in their hands. Under the street lights, the scene looked like a scene from a movie.
His cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and took a look. It was a message from Pu Yu, saying, "I went to dinner with my dad and his family."
Ning Song replied with a "hmm", put the phone in his pocket, and felt like he was about to immerse himself in the night rain.
Shen Lingsi watched the car go away and the smile on his lips faded.
Finally got rid of that clingy guy.
Although the party was over, he needed to rest, and it might take a while. He told the others to go first and searched the crowd. There were a lot of people outside the theater, all holding umbrellas and looking messy, but Sheng Yan's hair was very easy to recognize. He saw Ning Song beside him and sighed deeply.
Endless enemies.
He was busy at the moment and couldn't care less about Sheng Yan. He turned around and chatted with other leaders. When the leaders left one after another in their cars, Ning Song and the others had already gone far away.
They walked directly to the food street. It was very noisy along the way. Colorful umbrellas were flying along the campus tree-lined path, like flowers floating on the water. Sheng Yan was very quiet along the way, which made Ning Song almost suspect that he knew something.
Qiao Qiao turned around and asked, "Are you two so tired? Why aren't you talking?"
Ning Song took the opportunity to hug his neck, crawled under his umbrella, and said, "I'm so tired, come and help me."
He was a little taller than Qiao Qiao, but very light. Qiao Qiao supported him and tilted the umbrella towards him.
Sheng Yan felt a chill from the cold wind blowing around him. He put one hand in his trouser pocket to hide his disappointment. He felt that he had never wanted to be a nice boyfriend as much as he did at that moment.
When they arrived at Baixiangmen, Ning Song first stayed in their stage drama crew for a while, and then went directly to the private room of their student union downstairs. Most of the people present were from the entertainment department. He had been busy with them these days and was familiar with them. Soon Shen Lingsi and Zhou Lu also came, as well as Teacher Jiang from the General Office. They originally reserved the middle seat for Shen Lingsi, but Shen Lingsi directly switched with someone else and sat next to Ning Song. He also took the wine glass in front of Ning Song and said, "I'll block the wine for you."
Sheng Yan was in a good mood today and took the initiative to greet everyone. Li Qingyuan sat next to him and smiled: "As soon as Ning Song left, you came back to life. Gang Mumu just stood next to him and smiled foolishly."
Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Maybe yes, love bound him, and he really became more and more shy in front of Ningsong.
"You say you have everything and you are sincere, so what are you afraid of? God gave you this face, but you don't use it to deceive people. It's a waste!" said Li Qingyuan.
Sheng Yan thought about it and it seemed to be true.
"I don't think he's a lecher either."
Li Qingyuan sneered: "No matter if you are a man or a woman, there is no one in this world who is not lustful."
A bunch of boys were discussing whether to drink or not. The drinking ban in Upper East State is 16 years old, and many of the boys present are now smoking and drinking. Today is a gathering for boys only. It was a rainy day and the weather was cold and damp, so they opened two bottles of white wine and shared them among the group.
Sheng Yan only drank two cups, and his face and neck were red, like overcooked shrimp. Everyone said that his face was exaggerated. He took a picture with his mobile phone and found that his face was also red. His first thought was to show it to Ning Song.
It was a very small thing, but his first thought was to show it to Ningsong, like a child who had found a great toy and was eager to share it with someone he loved. He ran to Ningsong's private room, opened the door and called Ningsong out.
Shen Lingsi looked at his flushed face and felt that this monster was going to cause harm.
Ningsong went out and closed the door.
"Look at my face." Sheng Yan smiled.
Baixiangmen was very lively at night, and the hall was full of students from their school. It was very noisy, and Sheng Yan's eyes were slightly tipsy, looking slow and direct.
He is so handsome. At the age of seventeen, Sheng Yan is invincible.
Just thinking of Pu Yu, I have to resist no matter how tempting her beauty is.
Otherwise, what should we do with the young lady?
So sad, miserable and heartbreaking.
It was impossible for him to be a tyrant obsessed with beauty without any burden.
I don’t know what Pu Yu is doing now, or whether he knows the situation here.
"How much did you drink?" Ning Song asked.
"Two cups, not much." Sheng Yan looked at him, leaning against the wall, tilting his head to look at him and said, "I'm not drunk."
She wondered in her mind whether his beauty would have any effect on Ning Song.
He really doesn't know how to seduce others, it's always others who seduce him.
The more Shen Lingsi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't tolerate the drunk Sheng Yan and Ning Song being together. He felt Sheng Yan's restlessness and was worried that Sheng Yan would confess before him. Wouldn't all his plans for tonight be ruined?
He couldn't have a better chance than tonight, as he had just been preparing for it for quite some time.
So he opened the door and went out.
It was drizzling outside. Pu Yu held up his umbrella and looked up at the sign of Baixiangmen. Qiao Qiao's voice came through the phone: "We are in the room on the far left of the second floor. Aning is on the first floor."
Pu Yu looked through the damp glass door and saw the vague figures of Sheng Yan and Ning Song at the entrance of a corridor. Wet raindrops slid down the glass door, and he pushed the door open and went in.
