Carrying water
Letang went to bed early and woke up early. He went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast and packed it up. He also took a walk around the college to familiarize himself with the place.
By the time he entered the classroom, it was almost time and people were already sitting in the room. He quickly sat down in his seat because he had to eat breakfast before class started.
He didn't notice the vague glances on him; after all, they were much less intense than yesterday. Even so, the overt and covert discussions about him never ceased, especially after Fu Zhixu had escorted him out of the class meeting in full view of everyone, and they hadn't returned since.
Letang was lying on the desk, gnawing on the outside of the sausage package first. He almost choked because he ate too fast, so he gulped down some soy milk.
After finally recovering from his stress, he began to eat his favorite sausage. He always saved his favorite part for last.
As Kitano Ji entered the classroom, he saw him with his mouth bulging, holding half a sausage in his mouth, neither moving forward nor backward.
Because he was in a hurry, he stuffed the whole thing into his mouth. His mouth was small and could not hold so much. The sausage could only be stuck halfway, tightly wrapped by his pale pink lips. It was sucked in, slid out, and then sucked in again. The smooth skin was eaten until it was wet. I don't know how long he held it in his mouth. I guess he had eaten it until it had no taste.
Kitano Ji narrowed his eyes, and for some reason his throat felt a little tight.
But he quickly remembered the message he had ignored last night and still hadn't received any reply.
When I thought about how timid this dwarf looked, and how he kept saying he submitted to me yesterday, yet he turned around and ignored the message he sent, and even sat in the classroom as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, Kitano Shu really didn't know whether he was really timid or just pretending.
Are you really not afraid of offending him?
As soon as Kitano Shu appeared in the classroom, many people gathered around him. Some invited him to their homes for parties on weekends, some invited him to play games after school, and there were also many who just came up to him to show their faces without saying anything.
Those people's faces were all flattering and ingratiating, and in Kitano Ji's eyes they were just a few facial masks that he couldn't remember.
After all, he has always been the center of the crowd, so why would he deliberately remember the faces of the supporting characters?
There was only the little guy hiding behind the textbook, concentrating on eating sausages, thinking that his little actions would not be noticed by others. He never looked at him from beginning to end, as if he didn't even see him.
Is Kitano Shu not as good as a sausage?
Kitano Ji stared at him and walked over.
But the dwarf suddenly looked up, his eyes lit up as he looked in his direction, and he swallowed the sausage neatly. He wiped his mouth proudly, tidied up his hair, straightened his chest, and made a very deliberate posture.
Kitano Ji raised his eyebrows, a smile playing on the corner of his mouth: "Why? Now you know how to admit your mistakes..."
Before he could utter the word "too late", someone patted his shoulder.
Fu Zhixu stood behind him with an indifferent expression. He said "good morning" to him and returned to his seat.
Kitano Ji immediately looked at Letang.
Sure enough, he followed Fu Zhixu with a pair of cat-like eyes. His gaze was direct and passionate, making it difficult for others to ignore it.
He was not afraid of being discovered by peeking, or rather, he did not care whether he was discovered or not, as he only wanted to convey his thoughts to the other person.
But the person being stared at by that gaze is oblivious to what is happening outside, never paying attention to the gazes around him, let alone noticing the source of the gaze.
Bei Ye Ji snorted coldly, walked to Letang's desk, pressed his palm on the top of his head, and forced his head to turn away from Fu Zhixu.
Letang was stunned. After realizing who it was, he looked up at him angrily and glared at him, silently accusing him.
He was completely different from the one who was staring at Fu Zhixu just now.
The real murderer.
Letang reached out to pry his hand from above his head, but Kitano Ji was too lazy to fight him and pinched his cheek instead. It was quite soft.
Kitano Ji couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh and squeeze it again, like pulling dough, and soon the skin turned red.
"What are you doing?" Letang said angrily, but his words were unclear and had no hurtful power.
Kitano Ji smiled sinisterly: "Did you forget something?"
"……What's up?"
Letang's heart skipped a beat, and as he asked the question, he remembered something that he had forgotten.
When he was in school, his cell phone was confiscated and could only be retrieved on weekends. Therefore, Letang was not used to looking at his phone in the school environment. Furthermore, he had just arrived from the school and had a lot to do and think about. Therefore, he had not opened his phone since returning to the dormitory yesterday.
This Kitano Shu wouldn't really send him a message...
Following the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, and believing that face is not more important than life, he said without thinking, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I wasn't looking at my phone and didn't pay attention."
But what I was thinking was: It’s just that I didn’t reply to the message, what’s the big deal?
The unconvinced expression on his face did not escape Kitano Ji's eyes. Knowing that his apology was insincere, Kitano Ji did not get angry and loosened his hand that was pinching his cheek.
Ha. If I don't teach him a lesson, I'll really treat him like a sick cat.
"Come find me after school."
As soon as the lunch break was over, the filming of the micro-film began. All participating students could skip classes openly to participate in the filming, so the class monitor who was responsible for screenwriting and directing and Liu Sijia who was responsible for art editing also came along.
Letang was curious about the content of the movie. As the male lead's assistant, he needed to know in advance what preparations needed to be made, so he simply ran to the squad leader and asked him to explain the script to him.
Wang Bang had been secretly watching him, and when he saw him approaching, he became visibly nervous. Liu Sijia, standing nearby, had something else in mind, and she also listened to the conversation between Letang and Wang Bang silently.
Letang looked at the camera in Liu Sijia's hand curiously: "Is this the camera we'll be using to shoot later? How about I take some stills first?"
After saying that, he reached out to grab the camera, but Liu Sijia dodged it.
This was her father's favorite camera, and he kept it at home with great care, like a treasure. Liu Sijia didn't know much about cameras, but she knew how valuable this camera was. To save face, she secretly took it out of the house without telling her father.
"I'll just take it. You're clumsy and you can't afford to pay for it if you bump into it." She said unhappily.
Letang withdrew his hand and made a face: "I won't touch yours, you are so stingy."
"you--!"
She was about to explode, but she didn't know what she thought of. She glanced at Fu Zhixu who was acting with Ning Ruotong beside her and swallowed her words.
Seeing that Letang had hit a wall, Wang Bang kindly said, "A professional filming team will be here soon. If you're curious, I can borrow it from them for you."
As expected, not long after, the filming crew arrived carrying many professional machines. The accompanying makeup team took the male and female protagonists to do their styling first. Wang Bang took him to study the machines, and the staff who didn’t understand were kind enough to explain them to them.
"If you are interested, you can try it." said the staff.
Letang was so curious, looking at all these machines he couldn't even name, that he kept touching and examining them. Wang Bang and Liu Sijia followed him, one on each side, each wanting to see him alone for something, and neither of them was willing to leave first.
Wang Bang wanted to ask Le Tang if he had seen the small note he had put inside his book, and also wanted to ask if Bei Ye Ji had made things difficult for him by visiting him.
Liu Sijia wanted to ask why Fu Zhixu pulled him out of the class meeting yesterday, and what they talked about when they were alone for so long.
The two of them were vying with each other, neither willing to give in. Letang, caught in the middle, was completely unaware.
At this time, a staff member came over and asked: "Which one of you is the assistant?"
Letang perked up and immediately said, "It's me. Is the male lead looking for me?"
"Where's the water for the team? Assistant, go get some water."
Wang Bang wanted to move with him, but was pulled away by the staff to discuss the script; Liu Sijia was a girl, so it was naturally not her turn to do these heavy tasks; the other staff members were busy with their own things and did not want to be disturbed.
So Letang had to go to the school gate to fetch water alone.
I thought there would be only one box of water at most, but when I got to the door I found there were ten boxes.
The delivery truck couldn't enter the school. The delivery guy saw Letang and thought she was a short-haired girl. He was a little worried: "Can you carry it?"
"fine."
Letang didn't want to give up on the first day of work, so he had to bite the bullet and move the boxes one by one.
The sun was blazing today, and it was the hottest time of the afternoon. Letang braved the scorching sun, walking back and forth several times, feeling dizzy and back-aching, but he had only moved half of the items.
"Why haven't you finished moving the water yet? Hurry up, the filming has already started."
Le Tang was so exhausted that he didn't even have time to catch his breath before he hurried back to move the rest. He had to hurry; he couldn't miss watching Fu Zhixu filming!
In order to save time, I carried two boxes at once, but I regretted it halfway because my steps were so heavy that I couldn't even lift them.
"ah!"
While taking a shortcut through the grass, Letang tripped over a small piece of dirt and lost his balance, falling straight forward.
Two whole boxes of water were quite heavy. They smashed to the ground, breaking the cartons and causing the mineral water to spill all over the floor.
The imagined pain did not come. Instead, a force firmly blocked Letang's waist and lifted him up easily.
When I looked up, I saw a man in a suit.
"Are you okay?"
A magnetic voice spoke sparingly. His hair was meticulously combed back, revealing a sharp forehead. His high nose bridge made his already distant eyes appear even colder, and his height and build even made him look a bit fierce.
Perhaps due to the heat, the man draped his gray suit jacket over his arm, a faint scent of disinfectant emanating from his straight vest. His other hand was still wrapped around Letang's waist, easily holding his waistline with just half his arm.
Le Tang flinched, took a few steps back unnoticed, and whispered gratefully, "Thank you."
Having said that, he turned around and picked up the mineral water scattered on the ground.
The cheap, one-size-fits-all jacket he'd bought was too loose, and the sleeves, rolled up for ease of use, kept slipping down. The man watched in silence as those two arms, glistening white, swayed back and forth before his eyes. Fine beads of sweat dripped from his white forehead, wetting his soft, black hair and giving off a clean, pleasant scent.
In fact, the man had noticed him a long time ago. In the huge campus, it was still class time, and he could see the thin figure struggling with two boxes of water from afar.
I could feel it when I put my arms around him. His waist was so thin and fragile that it seemed like it could be broken easily by a box of water.
Yet he is still working hard silently.
The man glanced at his watch, squatted down silently, and easily lifted the two boxes of water.
"I'll help you."
