The 11th melon
There were continuous coughing sounds coming from the grove.
The group of melon-eating friends next to Lin Cha were all choked by the melon seeds.
This melon... is awesome!
They need to digest!
Liu Ling'er looked dazed.
She glanced at Liu Mingqian, then at Pei Hongyun, her eyes filled with bewilderment and confusion.
Her boyfriend actually loves her father?
How could she, a young and beautiful female star, lose to her father?
[Let me see, when exactly did Pei Hongyun become attracted to Liu Mingqian?]
Lin Cha didn't notice the unusual behavior of the crowd and continued digging for the big melon: [Oops! Found it!]
[Wow! It turns out Pei Hongyun has liked Liu Mingqian for ten years! He has liked Liu Mingqian for ten years!]
Pei Hongyun's body stiffened.
The string in my heart that had been tense for ten years suddenly broke with a bang.
A feeling of embarrassment rose in Pei Hongyun's heart, his cheeks flushed, and his fists clenched.
He knew that no matter how he tried to stop it, the secret could no longer be hidden.
Seeing the stalemate, Lin Cha continued to dig deeper into the details of Pei Hongyun and Liu Mingqian.
Ten years ago, Pei Hongyun and Liu Mingqian filmed a gay art film together. Liu Mingqian considered it his last project before turning director, but Pei Hongyun, a renowned experientialist, couldn't get out of it once he immersed himself in it.
[But at that time, Liu Mingqian was already married and had an eight-year-old daughter, Liu Ling'er, so Pei Hongyun could only hide this love in his heart.]
Pei Hongyun had originally planned to keep it a secret for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to run into Liu Ling'er during a music video shoot. Liu Ling'er and Liu Mingqian looked 50% alike, and Pei Hongyun couldn't help but mistake her for Liu Mingqian...
The story became more and more outrageous, and the guests became more and more addicted to it.
It’s fine if it’s just substitute literature, but the one being replaced is your own father?
Even novels wouldn’t dare to write like this, right?
But looking at Pei Hongyun's face, which was so red that it seemed to bleed, the guests knew that what Lin Cha said was true.
Liu Mingqian was carrying an axe, at a loss.
During these few minutes, his mood was like a roller coaster.
Although he was unhappy about Liu Ling'er being with a man eighteen years older than her, he had no choice if Liu Ling'er insisted on doing so.
But now, it is no longer a question of persistence or not, but that this man has another woman in his heart, no, there is another man, and this man is me!
Liu Mingqian's eyes were wandering, and he accidentally met Pei Hongyun's eyes that were looking straight at him.
Time flies. After the secret was revealed, Pei Hongyun's eyes were no longer evasive. Instead, he looked more confident and calm. He looked directly into Liu Mingqian's dark pupils, trying to get some response.
Ten years ago, Liu Mingqian had a girlfriend and a daughter.
Ten years later, Liu Mingqian was widowed and his daughter had grown up.
So, can there be a future between them like in that art film?
Pei Hongyun looked at Liu Mingqian expectantly. Their eyes met, and the gaze seemed to bring them back ten years, to the age when they were still young and ignorant.
A hope ignited in Pei Hongyun's heart, and he couldn't help but walk towards Liu Mingqian.
With a "pop" sound.
A slap clearly pulled Pei Hongyun back to reality from his fantasy.
Liu Ling'er rushed between Pei Hongyun and Liu Mingqian, her eyes widening, "Pei Hongyun, you are shameless!"
Pei Hongyun swallowed hard, lowered his head, and felt extremely aggrieved. "Ling'er, I know you can't accept it... but I really, really love your father. I have admired him for ten years."
Liu Ling'er choked.
When the ten-year secret love came to light, Pei Hongyun seemed particularly humble.
If she stopped him again, it would seem that she was too vicious.
But she is obviously a victim too, how could it become like this?
"Even if you've liked Teacher Liu for ten years, you shouldn't have taken advantage of Ling'er!"
Lin Cha threw away the melon seeds in her hand and looked at Pei Hongyun angrily, "If you like me, go confess to Teacher Liu! What's the point of using Ling'er as a substitute? Are you turning her into a mistress?"
Everyone suddenly came out of the "ten-year secret love" mood created by Pei Hongyun and looked at Pei Hongyun coldly.
Yes, Pei Hongyun can like whoever he likes, why does he have to drag Liu Ling'er as a substitute?
He also wanted to marry Liu Ling'er and become Liu Mingqian's son-in-law? What was his real intention?
Facing the accusations from the guests, Pei Hongyun's eyes were covered with mist.
He couldn't refute it and could only look at Liu Mingqian: "Brother Liu..."
Liu Mingqian let out a long sigh.
This is why he was so opposed when he knew that Pei Hongyun was Liu Ling'er's "boyfriend".
Because he knew that Pei Hongyun was too immersed in it and that Pei Hongyun had feelings for him.
But Liu Mingqian had already answered Pei Hongyun many years ago. Ten years later, the answer was the same: "It was just a play."
Pei Hongyun choked up, unable to accept it. "I don't believe it! Brother Liu, if you didn't feel anything, why did you change careers and become a director after that movie..."
[That's not right!] Lin Cha's inner voice interrupted Pei Hongyun's words: [Liu Mingqian changed his career to become a director, not because he couldn't get over it, but because he wanted to learn photography and videography to record the most beautiful moments of his wife's life!]
Pei Hongyun: "..."
Pei Hongyun persisted: "Then why didn't you marry for ten years after becoming a widower..."
[Isn't that because he can't bear to leave his first wife? Liu Mingqian still sleeps with his wife's photo every night!]
Pei Hongyun: "But Brother Liu, you...you also agreed to shoot that art film! If you didn't have feelings for me, why did you agree..."
[It was to raise money for his wife's surgery! Liu Mingqian had spent all his savings on his wife's treatment. To make money, wouldn't a straight man have to agree to film this kind of film?]
Pei Hongyun's body stiffened.
He looked at Liu Mingqian in disbelief.
He thought Liu Mingqian had changed his career, that Liu Mingqian had not married for ten years, and that Liu Mingqian at least had some of his own thoughts.
The result... is nothing at all?
Liu Mingqian scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: Although I have filmed gay themes, I am really straight, help!
Pei Hongyun looked at Liu Mingqian's somewhat bewildered eyes, and his gaze gradually dimmed.
Some people just treat the show as a show.
But some people took it seriously.
