Chapter 115

Bai Gaoxing felt like he had a very hazy dream.

I don't remember the content at all, the only impression I have is that he and another figure were very familiar. His body was completely suppressed by the other person, and every breath was extremely hot, until the secret feeling of chopsticks spread from deep inside to all over his body, and this beautiful scene disappeared silently.

He slowly woke up, his body covered with sweat, even his hair was stuck to his face. The half-soaked sheets were extremely uncomfortable, but they were still somewhat warmed by his body temperature.

Bai Gaoxing stared at the ceiling blankly, the only sound he could hear was his own breathing. After waiting for a long while, his eyes gradually focused and he came fully to consciousness.

It seems still early now.

The curtains in the room were not completely drawn, leaving a gap through which dim light shone, as if the sun had not yet fully risen.

What time is it?

Bai Gaoxing turned around and tried to check the time on the clock on the bedside table, but he saw a man sitting on the bed reading a script.

"...So early?" Bai Gaoxing's voice was a little hoarse, but more of it was surprise. Although Li Pu always got up very early when he was at home, he didn't expect that he would not want to rest more here.

It is... half past five???

The moment he saw the numbers, Bai Gaoxing became even more alert than before and sat up abruptly.

It's so cold.

The wet sweat on his back and the opened quilt took away a lot of heat, and he couldn't help sneezing.

A coat was put on him. Bai Gaoxing raised his head and saw Li Pu's expressionless face.

"Don't catch a cold."

There was a hint of weariness in those clear eyes that could not be concealed.

It has been a long time since I saw Li Pu looking so tired. Bai Gaoxing was stunned and couldn't help but stare at the man, feeling a little worried.

"When did you get up?" he asked.

"Just now." Li Pu answered briefly.

In fact, I hardly slept. Li Pu found it hard to believe that I could read a relationship forum all night long.

Bai Gaoxing nodded, still a little skeptical, but the discomfort of being wet quickly diverted his attention and he casually complained, "It was too hot last night. I'm going to take a shower."

However, when he raised his hands to gather his clothes, the wet, hot and sticky feeling in his lower body suddenly made his head buzz, and also recalled some memories from his dream.

Wait... no way...

Li Pu looked at the boy who said he wanted to take a shower in the last second, and in the next second he covered his face with his hands and shrank back into the quilt, his face scarily red.

"Are you feeling unwell?" He hurried forward, reaching out to pull back the quilt to see the boy's condition clearly.

As a result, the quilt was pulled back even harder.

"I'm not awake yet! Sleep a little longer." A muffled voice came, and Bai Gaoxing rolled himself into a cocoon.

Li Piao: “……?”

Although he didn't quite understand why it happened so suddenly, it was indeed too early. Li Pu glanced at the clock, said "I'll call you later", turned around and quietly left the room.

After a very long time, a head popped out from the cocoon and the cocoon let out a long breath.

…

Today we will officially start shooting.

After breakfast, all actors were asked to gather at the selected slums.

However, before setting off, Bai Gaoxing was caught by the director to try on some makeup.

"Take off these unnecessary things for him!" Frank stared at him seriously for a long time, then turned to the makeup artist.

The well-applied foundation was completely cleaned, revealing the boy's already fair and delicate skin, making his eyes look even darker and brighter.

"And the hair..." Frank smacked his lips, "Can it be dyed black?"

Frank noticed Bai Gaoxing's hair color from the beginning. This white hair color seemed to be congenital, but also seemed to be an acquired disease - but since he was Chinese, it was naturally unlikely to be the former.

"No." The answer came from the side.

Frank turned to look at Li Pho who was waiting not far away, raised his eyebrows, and did not ask the reason in detail, "Okay."

In fact, he also thought white hair was pretty good. Frank looked at Bai Gaoxing carefully for a while and finally decided to use the boy's original hair color.

This was a very difficult decision. After all, Noah in the original novel had black hair and black eyes. They thought that this color was very suitable for the current situation of a seriously ill teenager, heavy and depressing enough.

But now, he found that the white hair made Noah look more pure, like an angel about to go to heaven.

Frank was satisfied with the boy's fit with the role and said passionately, "We can really get started now!"

Bai Gaoxing smiled in agreement, but his eyes briefly glanced at Li Pu.

I feel like Li Pho has been a little out of shape since this morning.

Is it because of filming?

Or...

Bai Gaoxing's face began to feel hot again. He couldn't help but clench his hands. He couldn't help but worry that he would make any sound from the dream.

Probably not, right? He doesn't have the habit of talking in his sleep.

And that dream...

Bai Gaoxing shook his head. He must have seen it too many times. It was just an image formed in his mind. It could not be -

Like that.

…

The director planned to use the scene where the heroine rescues the hero as the first act.

At this time, Darren and Nitia had already put on their makeup and were sitting on a small broken bench by the wall waiting.

"It seems that you have decided to join us?"

As soon as Bai Gaoxing arrived, Nitia came over to greet him. She observed carefully and found that the makeup on the boy's face was not completely wiped off.

"Yes." Bai Gaoxing noticed her gaze and raised his hand to touch his chin.

"You're so welcome." Darren and Nitia smiled at each other. They were very impressed by the young man and never thought they would have the opportunity to work together.

Darren patted Bai Gaoxing's shoulder affectionately and said, "I heard that you have never acted before? It doesn't matter, just watch me and Nitia later."

There is no casino scene today.

The actors who played the dealers were quite free today, but they did not want to miss the first show, so they all came to watch.

Bai Gaoxing was also standing in the crowd, listening to the people around him chattering about the acting skills of the male and female protagonists, but he had no intention of listening to their comments. His attention was all on Li Pu who was not far away.

The man took out his cell phone in the crowd, took a look at it, and his brows were obviously furrowed.

What's wrong with him?

Bai Gaoxing was about to cross over to find him, but someone suddenly pressed his shoulder.

"Hello, Xiaobai the translator." A smiling voice rang in my ears, followed by a pair of deep eyes and eyebrows, with a deep inquiry. ┆┆

The other person's grip was very strong, as if he was holding him down on purpose.

Bai Gaoxing took a step back calmly and raised his head slightly, "Teacher Pu, what's the matter?"

Although he disliked this person, he couldn't show it too obviously in public.

"Nothing, just chatting casually." Park Jiahui smiled gently. If he hadn't seen his gloomy expression that night at the awards ceremony, he would have been fooled by him.

"Really?" Bai Gaoxing also smiled. "What do you want to talk about?"

As soon as this "you" is used, a weird feeling comes up.

But Bai Gaoxing's appearance was too deceptive. Whenever he smiled, he gave people a bright and brilliant feeling.

Park Jiahui was unaware of Bai Gaoxing's hostility - in his eyes, the boy was just a person who had recently come out, and he had never seen him before, so how could he possibly understand him.

Besides... Li Pho is not someone who likes to talk nonsense.

Thinking of this, Park Jiahui's smile deepened. "I don't think I've seen you in China before. Did you just come back recently?"

"Yeah." Bai Gaoxing nodded casually and shifted his gaze to the opposite side again.

Seeing this, a dark light flashed across Park Jiahui's eyes. "It's rare for someone your age to suddenly return to China." He put on a gentle demeanor of a senior. "After all, a sudden change of environment will make it difficult for people to adapt. Academic qualifications abroad are also more advantageous."

At this point, young people should have realized what to answer - talk about the reason for returning to China? Tell them everything about yourself?

Bai Gaoxing refused.

He smiled with his eyebrows curved, "It's okay, I'm pretty good at adapting~"

Yes~~

Park Jiahui's smile froze for a moment, and he straightened up slightly, "Really? Then——"

"T'es pas le coussin de roi."*

Bai Gaoxing stared at the studio in the distance where filming was taking place and suddenly spoke.

Park Jiahui's pupils shrank.

"Sometimes, I worry that I am not capable enough to take on the responsibility of translation." Bai Gaoxing smiled and said, "I am almost able to memorize Adonis's lines."

“……” Park Jiahui was speechless for a moment.

It must be just a coincidence, he thought, otherwise the boy would not have said the words he had said to Li Pu.

"Ah, and these few sentences like 'You can't save her at all' and 'It's better to give up' made my ears ring." Bai Gaoxing laughed and then said in a rising tone, "I'm going to find Teacher Li. Goodbye, Teacher Pu! Let's talk again."

Grease your feet and slip away.

Park Jiahui narrowed his eyes and watched the young man walk through the crowd to Li Pu's side, raised his head and whispered, and Li Pu also cooperated by slightly leaning forward, looking willing to listen.

He had never seen Li Pho so gentle before, and there was even a smile in his eyes.

Li Pho, who was once considered to be easy to get along with, was just a way of keeping a distance from others.

Park Jiahui's gaze deepened, and a hint of coolness gradually appeared on his lips.

The relationship between the boy and Li Pu... is very unusual.

Here, Bai Gaoxing successfully came to Li Pu's side. As soon as he approached, he saw the man put his phone back.

"?"

Bai Gaoxing poked his head to take a look, then quickly turned his gaze towards the filming scene.

The scene currently being filmed is the one where the male protagonist wakes up from a coma.

Darren was a lazy and casual guy, but in the play he suddenly turned into a ruffian with a deeper level of passion and rationality. However, at this time he was lying on the plank bed with blood gushing out, dying.

Nitia is also awesome, a cheerful and outgoing girl.

She changed her body, and her whole person was filled with a sense of fragility like a dodder.

Her fiery red hair was braided into a pigtail and hung down in front of her chest. With the freckles on her cheeks, she looked as harmless as a lamb.

Frank is very demanding on details, and he also pays great attention to something as mysterious as "feeling", so he can shoot a short scene more than ten times.

"Frank," Darren said weakly, "I'm almost full of blood."

"Well." Frank laughed, "You have to keep in shape then."

This scene can only be shot in the morning, and every second is precious.

Bai Gaoxing found it funny and was absorbed in it for a while. When he turned around, Li Pu was gone.

“???” Where are the people!

Li Pho was sitting in a makeshift lounge.

Many people came to drink water or take a nap. He sat alone in the corner, holding his mobile phone with 80% battery left, and clicked on the post he posted yesterday.

After posting this yesterday, he went to other people's posts and even found the forum based on their recommendations.

Many people have raised questions about their relationships.

He searched and searched but couldn't find a situation similar to his. However, everyone had a variety of questions and the answers were all there, and a lot of the content was worth learning. Before he knew it, he had seen the dawn.

Now, it's time to see if anyone can answer his question.

"What should I do if the person I like doesn't seem to like me?" - This is his title.

Li Pu felt a little embarrassed. He typed these words without thinking last night. Now looking at it...isn't it too obvious?

His fingertips began to pull slowly down.

"Sister, it's not an illusion. When you don't know whether you like it or not, then you don't like it!"

When Li Pu saw the first reply, his heart skipped a beat.

He glanced at the time. The time he posted late last night was exactly evening in China. Not long after, someone replied.

So far, there have been more than 100 replies.

Li Phou continued to draw, and his originally calm mood turned into anxiety.

The second refutes the first:

"How do you usually get along with others? Some people just can't express themselves."

And many more:

"A is the end of it! We can't leave any regrets in life."

"Just because you don't like him, change someone else."

"Study! Test! I am the best even though I am ruthless!"

“…”

After many posts were posted, someone suddenly said, "The poster didn't say whether he was a man or a woman?"

"People who ship couples are usually girls, right?"

"That's not certain. Nowadays, people of the same sex are open to each other. What if the next one is a 'sister'?"

"If it's a man... bro, are you handsome? If you are, just go for it!"

"To be honest, if you have eight-pack abs, are handsome and rich, you don't have to worry about it, okay? I guess the poster's hardware is not that good."

"Not necessarily. Some people just don't feel it."

"Wow, where is the owner of this building?"

“…”

The back of the topic building became more and more crooked and even changed color.

Li Pu thought for a moment and replied with the second one: "Usually we stay together and are almost never apart. He also likes to stick close to me, and I'm used to him being around me."

Posts with new replies will be pushed to the top, and soon, someone replied to his post.

"I saw this post last night and was thinking about creating more opportunities for you to spend time together, but you... forget it, it's not working even though you've been so intimate, you two should just become sworn brothers."

"I object! It's obvious that they have fallen in love over time. All they need is a piece of paper to separate them!!"

The people on the second floor rushed over after hearing the news, "Hey? Are you so innocent? Do you have any more information? It's hard for me to analyze what you said."

Li Pu took a look at the other party's level, which was very high. He must have been a frequent commenter and had a lot of experience, so he typed again: "He just came to my house this year. We didn't talk much at first, but we gradually got to know each other."

Thinking of the scene when Dabai was sent home in the spring, Li Pu was confused about the wording.

"I didn't realize I liked him at first, but I never thought about breaking up with him. It was a familiar friend who woke me up..."

Li Pho is very good at analyzing a character, but this is the first time he has analyzed himself.

"I'm sure I don't want to say goodbye to him. If he leaves one day, I might never find him again."

There was a lot of sighing in the post.

"Why...you look like someone from a sad idol drama?"

"Why can't you find it? The Internet is so advanced nowadays, just leave me your phone number."

"Wait, he just came to your house this year? Could he be some relative staying here? Sister, you should think twice!"

A hint of bitterness welled up in Li Pu's faint smile. If only it were that simple...

He typed: "I am a man."

"What about the other person?"

"Too."

"!!! What's he like? Why do you miss him so much?"

Li Pu's eyes were gentle as he typed, "She is shorter than me, very fair, very pretty when she smiles, very cheerful, and also..."

It was also a ray of light that shone into his life during a period when he was most depressed.

The number of replies in the building increased visibly.

Someone with the ID "Master of Winning Back Your Ex-Boyfriend" suddenly said, "By the way, OP, how do you know he doesn't like you? Did you confess?"

Li Pho: ...?

He replied: “No.”

"????"

There are question marks all over the place.

"Brother, you didn't even tell him, how do you know he doesn't like you!?"

Tell Him...

Li Pu's fingers that were moving across the screen suddenly stopped.

His agent seems to have said this as well.

Li Pu's heart moved slightly, but he rejected this idea the next second.

After all…

"Li Pu! Why did you come here without telling me?" The young man walked into the lounge breathlessly, "I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"I..." Li Pu turned off his phone and was about to explain when he heard Bai Gaoxing say, "The director said we can leave now, let's go back."

Bai Gaoxing was very worried about Li Pu's condition.

He saw a smile in the man's eyes, but more of it was tiredness.

"Did you really sleep well last night?"

After returning to the hotel, Bai Gaoxing raised his doubts.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at the man holding the script. Although he appeared normal, the bloodshot in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Not bad." Li Pu said, without looking at him.

The man walked around like he was taking a stroll, turning page after page of the script in his hands.

Something is wrong.

Bai Gaoxing began to frantically recall what method he could use to help Li Pu have a good rest. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he remembered the scene at home.

He decisively reached out when Li Pho passed by, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him down to sit.

The mattress trembled violently.

Bai Gaoxing stared at the man in front of him. He was silent for a long time before he spoke in a calm voice, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

He swallowed, and the red color spread to his cheeks and ear tips.

"Hold me."

"…I can also turn into a parrot."
