The segment "We both reached for the gun" is very unique in "Chicago", and it can be said that it is eye-catching in many musicals.
This is a "puppet show", and the "puppets" in the show are the actors on the stage.
When Xiang Ling saw this clip for the first time, he was deeply amazed. They compared the media people and the heroine to "puppets", and the barrister to the manipulator behind the scenes. They used an extremely absurd and ironic way to show how the lawyer in the play manipulated media opinion to achieve his own goals.
It can be said that this is the most classic clip of "Chicago" in Xiang Ling's mind.
But it is not an easy task to perform classics.
This musical is not just about singing. In addition to singing, the actors also have to dance and act on stage.
The most difficult part is the male and female protagonists. In this segment of the play, the male and female protagonists use a "double act" method to manipulate puppets, so the people selected need to develop a very high degree of tacit understanding.
It is not easy to stage such a plot in such a short time.
In order to ensure the excellence of the play, the costumes, props and music arrangement for this segment, as early as the beginning of the school year, the costume and makeup group and the music group of the old members of the club had already started working overtime to make props and costumes, design the styling, and record demos.
On the second day after the new members joined the society, Luo Ruixue handed over their respective team members to the team leaders, and everyone worked together to strive to complete the work before National Day.
The only thing that was not decided at the beginning of the school year was the selection of the performers.
Xiang Ling has been busy with this matter for the past three days. There are not many members in their club who can go on stage, both new and old. It is not an easy task to get both new and old members to stand on the stage and find a position that they are satisfied with and can stand on.
Some people say that university is a small society, and this is not a joke. During the selection period, some people really secretly gave gifts to Xiang Ling for the roles of the male and female protagonists. Even before the list was finalized, someone sent Xiang Ling a message saying "I understand you" in the middle of the night.
But Xiang Ling ignored them all and never accepted any gifts. He just let things happen as they should. He would do what he was capable of and go wherever he was suitable for the position.
Ling has experienced this kind of thing several times and is quite adept at it.
And now he is more focused on training new people, to be more precise, Luo Ruixue.
Xiang Ling will start preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination next semester, and he absolutely cannot continue to be the president. Therefore, this year Xiang Ling has tried his best to teach Luo Ruixue more on various matters, and gradually handed over the communication with other clubs to Luo Ruixue.
After the performers for the National Day celebrations were selected, Xiang Ling told Luo Ruixue clearly that he would leave the club by the end of this semester at the latest.
In fact, it is normal to quit the society in the third year. However, when Luo Ruixue heard Xiang Ling say that he would leave next semester, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was so scared that she forgot everything Xiang Ling said next.
"President." Luo Ruixue just looked at Xiang Ling like that, and the pitiful energy that he usually had on him surged up, making Xiang Ling speechless. Luo Ruixue didn't shed tears, but the redness around his eyes and the tip of his nose was so painful that it was heartbreaking. His voice was a little trembling, but he said seriously, "President, I only recognize you as my president."
Xiang Ling was very moved after hearing this. After all, they had known each other for more than a year. From being unfamiliar with each other in the beginning to becoming friends later, and now when Luo Ruixue said this, Xiang Ling really felt that his work as president for more than a year was not in vain.
Xiang Ling patted Luo Ruixue's head as usual, and then said, "Sweetheart, I think you are the most suitable person to take over as president. Be good, I will pave the way for you before you leave. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future. We will not lose contact. Even without the club as a medium, your Brother Ling is still your Brother Ling."
Luo Ruixue bit her lip and said nothing.
Xiang Ling finally said, "I'm relieved to leave the club to you."
Luo Ruixue's eyes became even redder, and his face was also filled with heat. Xiang Ling saw that he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Xiang Ling actually knew what Luo Ruixue was going to say, and he also knew that Luo Ruixue knew how he would answer.
The two have been together for more than a year. If there was really a spark, they would have been together long ago. But they are still like this now. They both know that there will be nothing more.
Feelings cannot be forced. Some people can move you at first sight, while some people you cannot fall in love with no matter how long you look at them.
Xiang Ling had no way to respond to Luo Ruixue. In fact, Xiang Ling had tried to distance himself from him a long time ago.
Ji Qiulin and the others have always been worried about Luo Ruixue not confessing her feelings to Xiang Ling, but in fact, when Xiang Ling was distancing himself from Luo Ruixue, Luo Ruixue came to Xiang Ling and told him his feelings very frankly. She also expressed the hope that Xiang Ling would not be burdened too much and that everything would remain normal.
Only then did they resume their previous way of getting along in the days that followed.
Xiang Ling still remembers what Luo Ruixue said when they met.
That was the time when Luo Ruixue was the most stubborn in Xiang Ling's memory. Her little face was tense and her words were harsh, but it made Xiang Ling blush for the first time when facing Luo Ruixue.
He said, "Brother Ling, you can't take advantage of my liking for you to deprive me of my right to your love."
Oh my god, Xiang Ling was so excited by this sentence that his hair stood on end.
At that time, he once doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears, and then he heard the word "love" from Luo Ruixue's mouth.
That was the first time Xiang Ling doubted his life, thinking that the care and love he showed to his junior schoolmates was actually pampering?
However, Xiang Ling finally figured it out. Luo Ruixue was his vice president, and it was impossible for him to break off relations with her because of this incident.
So just do what you have to do and treat him the same as you treat other junior students.
While Xiang Ling was busy, Su Luyang wasn't having an easy time either. He'd only just started studying computer science, so he'd taken two years fewer specialized courses than everyone else. To catch up, he'd been spending his free time studying in the library after class.
Su Luyang is quick-witted and smart, and he can always keep up with the progress if he studies hard.
However, Su Luyang is not the kind of person who has to study hard. He is just used to being the top student wherever he goes, and he doesn't want to be too bad here, so he works so hard.
But when it is time for him to play, Su Luyang will not just focus on studying and neglect having fun.
So he never misses any club activities.
The photography club didn't have many activities, but Su Luyang was always very active. He was a complete novice when it came to photography, and with his fresh enthusiasm, he just wanted to give it his all. Fortunately, the club offered classes, and veteran members, especially the club president, were always willing to share their experiences and techniques.
It’s no wonder Su Luyang is suspicious. He always feels that their president is a little too enthusiastic towards him.
It is indeed a good thing to bring new members, but generally speaking, there is a limit to how old members should bring new members. However, this president seems to be completely unconditional in his kindness to him.
Occasionally Su Luyang would think, could it be that this president is gay and he wants to pursue him?
On the first day of joining the club, Su Luyang told the club members about his sexual orientation when introducing himself.
Su Luyang would not normally do this, but unexpectedly, three people threw little hearts to Su Luyang when introducing themselves that day. The girls were particularly bold and asked Su Luyang in public if he had a girlfriend and whether he would add her on WeChat.
It was at that time that Su Luyang suddenly thought of Xiang Ling.
When chatting in the dormitory, Ji Qiulin once said that when Xiang Ling first introduced himself to the class, he told everyone his sexual orientation very naturally.
He said, "I've been hiding it for over a decade, and I don't want to hide it anymore. Just knowing it is enough for you. If you still want to be friends with me, I welcome it. If you don't want to get close to me, that's fine too." That's it.
So Su Luyang was also aroused by the impulse, and when it was his turn, he told everyone that he had liked men since he was a child.
Su Luyang is really interested in photography at the moment. Although he is a little distressed by the president's "lack of restraint", it is impossible for him to really leave the club for the president. To be honest, Su Luyang has encountered this situation too many times since he was a child, so he just pretends that nothing happened.
In such a busy situation, Su Luyang and Xiang Ling went out together again, and it was another Saturday.
Knowing that Xiang Ling had to get up early to go to the provincial library, Su Luyang simply decided not to sleep in and went with him to read for a while.
This time, with someone accompanying him, Xiang Ling no longer went downstairs to buy buns and fried dough sticks by himself. Instead, he took Su Luyang to a small alley in front of the school to eat mutton rice noodles.
Xiang Ling loves to eat and knows how to eat. Not long after coming to University A, he became familiar with the nearby food stores. This mutton rice noodle shop is an old shop, opened by an elderly couple many years ago. Now it is inherited by their son and daughter-in-law, and it is considered a family business.
The young couple has great cooking skills. According to the older generation living nearby, the taste is still the same as it was decades ago and is just as delicious.
The mutton rice noodles are available in red soup, but Xiang Ling suggested that Su Luyang order the original soup rice noodles. If he likes spicy food, he can add chili peppers later, which will make it much more flavorful than making it in red soup directly.
While Xiang Ling was slurping the noodles, he would occasionally look up at Su Luyang.
Although he had figured out that he had feelings for Su Luyang before, Xiang Ling really had no idea what to do next. He was busy, and in the blink of an eye, he found that another week had passed, and there was no progress between him and Su Luyang.
"By the way, tomorrow is Qiulin's birthday. Have you bought him a gift?" Xiang Ling asked.
"No, I'm planning to buy one today. What about you?" Su Luyang said, "Actually, I don't even know what he likes. Do you have any suggestions?"
This Sunday is Ji Qiulin's birthday, and they had made plans early to go out for dinner, singing and drinking. There were more than just the four of them going, there were also some of Ji Qiulin's good friends in class or in the club.
"After lunch, let's go shopping together. As for what Qiulin likes..." Xiang Ling paused, then said, "We'll see when the time comes. Qiulin likes so many things."
Su Luyang nodded and continued to slurp his noodles. After a few bites, he suddenly looked up again: "What about you? What do you like?"
Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment. He didn't look at Su Luyang, but just buried his head, pretending to eat the vermicelli seriously. After a while, he replied, "I'm not picky. I like everything."
