Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Something is wrong
The air in the hotel corridor suddenly fell silent.
Yin Yan stood still, as if he was stunned by Yu Xiangwen's words.
"I..." He urged himself to find a suitable word to respond to Yu Xiangwen's joke, but his pounding heartbeat kept disrupting his train of thought.
Help.
Who’s heart would beat faster because of a joke from a colleague?
Is he a fool.
Yu Xiangwen still had that smiling face. Yin Yan was speechless and couldn't respond. He could only blame the person in front of him in his heart: Yu Xiangwen might have done it on purpose. Just like Xiao Wu said, he teased him because he looked cute, waiting to see him being too dumb to say a word and making himself blush.
I never expected that Teacher Yu, who looks like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually a black man!
The smile on his lips deepened, and Yu Xiangwen was amused by Yin Yan's dazed look.
He pulled back a straight shot in time, glanced at Yin Yan's half-changed shoes, then moved his eyes upwards and pointed at the top of Yin Yan's head: "Are you going out wearing this?"
Yin Yan raised his hand in a daze and touched a furry ear on his head.
Yin Yan: “…”
Now his face had to turn red.
After coughing, Yin Yan pulled off his hairband awkwardly and said, "I just washed my face and forgot to take it off."
His fair cheeks were stained with a layer of red, but his expression was still pretending to be calm, which made people want to bully him even more.
Yu Xiangwen was afraid that he would not be able to help but say something nonsense and scare Yin Yan, so he turned away and asked, "Are you going out so late?"
"I'm not going out. I'm going to get something from my assistant." It didn't seem right to talk standing at the door, so Yin Yan turned aside and said politely, "Brother Yu, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Yu Xiangwen quickly glanced inside the room, and after a second of silence, he refused with some restraint: "Sorry to bother you, I just arrived at the hotel, I just came to say hello to you, and... this."
The hand that had been behind his back was holding a large square box and he stretched it in front of Yin Yan.
Inside the transparent box was a magician with silver twin ponytails waving a magic wand.
"Figure?" His cat-like eyes suddenly widened. Yin Yan was even more surprised at this moment than when he found out that Yu Xiangwen had returned early.
Yu Xiangwen smiled, took Yin Yan's hand, and put the box in his hand: "Weren't you looking for this character's badge with your friends on the hot search a while ago? I saw it. I passed by the mall a few days ago and happened to see this figure. I thought it was quite a coincidence, so I wanted to buy one for you."
"You were so kind to take me in last time. I wanted to treat you to a meal, but that didn't happen. So you can just keep this figurine."
It had come to this point, and since it was a gift that was specially chosen, Yin Yan couldn't refuse it. He was touched and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yu. Actually, I didn't do anything. You even guided me the whole time when I was playing games..."
"You're welcome." Yu Xiangwen said, "You can call me whenever you want to play games. I'll take you flying anytime."
After the gift was delivered, Yu Xiangwen did not stay any longer. He drove here on the highway after the event and had not even had time to eat dinner.
Yin Yan went back to the room, put down the figurine, closed the door and walked to the other end of the corridor with Yu Xiangwen.
He went to look for Xiao Wu, and Yu Xiangwen took the elevator upstairs.
"I live in 1102. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me directly." Yu Xiangwen said as he stopped in front of the elevator.
Yin Yan nodded to indicate that he had remembered it: "Okay!"
Seeing Yin Yan also stopped and waited for the elevator with him, Yu Xiangwen paused. The elevator went up one floor at a time, and after a moment of silence, Yu Xiangwen asked in that relaxed tone: "Xiao Yan, can we be considered friends now?"
Yin Yan looked through the mirrored elevator door at Yu Xiangwen who was also looking at him. He twisted his fingers in the cuffs of his loose sweatshirt. After a while, he raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Of course."
"bite--"
The elevator arrived, and Yu Xiangwen reached out and pressed the elevator button after entering. He looked into Yin Yan's eyes and said softly, "Good night, see you tomorrow."
Yin Yan waved his hand: "See you tomorrow, Brother Yu."
…
After waiting for the elevator door to close for a long time, Xiao Wu came out when he saw Yin Yan was still nowhere to be found.
He walked around Yin Yan, who was squatting at the elevator door with his head in his hands.
Xiao Wu looked around.
"There's no police." Pulling Yin Yan's collar from behind and lifting him up, Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Why are you squatting here with your head in your hands? If someone takes a picture and posts it online, they'll definitely say you're being targeted in a crackdown on pornography and illegal publications."
Yin Yan bent down and pinched her numb legs, then raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Xiao Wu..."
Xiao Wu:?
Yin Yan: "Why do I feel like...something is really wrong..."
Xiao Wu: “…”
Xiao Wu put his hand on Yin Yan's forehead: "I think there's something wrong with you."
"Otherwise, you should take some medicine to recuperate."
…
On the day of the start-up, the temperature, which had just risen by a few degrees, dropped back down again. In the early morning, the sky was overcast and the wind was cold.
Yin Yan woke up very early, and after a simple packing, he went to the crew to do his makeup.
The school background is relatively simple, wearing a school uniform, and there is no need to take care of the hair, just straighten it. Yin Yan's face is almost flawless, so there is no need for excessive modification. Only the eye shape is adjusted to make his round eyes look more feminine.
Before joining the crew, the makeup photos of the leading actors were taken separately, and Yin Yan had never seen Yu Xiangwen in school uniform. When the makeup artist was fixing his hair, Yin Yan caught Yu Xiangwen in the mirror with his peripheral vision, wearing the same school uniform as him.
It was only morning, but Yu Xiangwen was already holding a cup of black coffee in his hand, which made people feel sick.
Yin Yan has a typical Chinese stomach and can only drink hot soy milk in the morning, which is completely different from Yu Xiangwen's habit.
Yu Xiangwen's hair was cut shorter, revealing his superior features, making him look young and energetic.
After Yin Yan had packed up, Yu Xiangwen threw away the black coffee he had finished drinking, came over and put his arm around Yin Yan's shoulders, curled his lips, and said, "Let's go, Lin Wu."
Yin Yan turned his head to look at Yu Xiangwen, whose temperament changed in just one sentence, and suddenly an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.
He thought of Wu Xiaobai.
The opportunity that brought him into the circle is now standing beside him.
They are going to act together.
Because it was a confidential project, there were no fans or photographers at the opening ceremony. Only a few media outlets that had signed agreements came to collect footage.
Yin Yan and Yu Xiangwen stood in front of the crowd, and following the host's voice, they raised three incense sticks and bowed towards the four directions.
The first scene takes place indoors, in the school’s bathroom.
Yin Yan and several extras were moving around in their scenes, and the instructor once again confirmed their range of movement to ensure that they would not bump into any dangerous areas after filming began.
This scene requires a panoramic shot, and it is difficult to take protective measures everywhere. The extent of the filming depends on the cooperation between the actors.
His eyes swept over Yu Xiangwen who was standing at the door of the washroom looking at him. At the end of the last rehearsal before the official start of filming, Yin Yan said to his co-star: "Don't be so restrained after filming starts. You can just go for it. Let's try to get it right in the first take."
The other party hesitated: "Are you okay? I'm afraid I'll hurt you."
"It's okay. Even though I look like this, I still have muscles. Besides, you're not going to beat me to death here." Yin Yan said with a smile.
The other party also smiled, patted Yin Yan on the shoulder and said, "Okay then, I'm sorry to offend you later, Teacher Yin."
Yin Yan put on a pair of black-framed glasses.
As the clapperboard claps.
First scene, first shot, begins.
Lin Wu turned on the faucet and stood by the pool to wash his hands. When he looked up, he saw that his bangs in the mirror were a little curly. He pressed them with his wet hands, trying to smooth out the tuft of hair.
After trying for a long time, I couldn't suppress it. I heard a chuckle from behind. One of the boys smoking in the corner shouted, "Hey, you sissy over there, come here. I have a question for you."
Lin Wu's face turned cold and he slowly put down the hand that was combing his hair.
The water in the pool trickled into the drain.
Without caring about his hair anymore, Lin turned off the faucet and was about to leave.
Someone grabbed his shoulder.
"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?" The boy who was half a head taller than him waved his hand and pushed Lin into the encirclement of a small group.
"What? You're not only a sissy, but you're also deaf?" The boy who called him at first walked up to Lin Wu with two earrings, a cigarette in one hand and the other in his pocket.
The smoke was everywhere. Lin Wu frowned and took a step back, saying coldly, "Get lost."
"Hahahahaha, he told us to get lost..."
"The little girl has a pretty bad temper..."
"So she's a hottie?..."
Unable to move forward, backward, left or right, Lin Wu's expression became worse and worse. He reached out and pushed the man with earrings in front of him. The people around him immediately rushed over, surrounded him, and pushed him back and forth.
The floor of the bathroom was slippery, and Lin Wu was unable to dodge. He was tripped by someone's leg and fell on the floor tiles. Before he could get up, the man with earrings kicked him back to where he was.
Lin Wu curled up into a ball, trying to dodge more punches and kicks, until his back hit the wall and there was nowhere left to hide.
The man with the earrings threw away the cigarette in his hand, squatted in front of Lin Wu who couldn't stand up for a while, and said with satisfaction: "That's right, brothers just want to ask you a question, can't you just answer it properly? You have to force us to do it. Look, it's so ugly."
Grabbing Lin Wu's long hair, the man with earrings forced him to raise his face.
"What did you want to ask? Let me think about it." He looked at Lin Wu's pale face, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he said mockingly, "Oh, I remember now. We are just curious... Do you usually pee while standing or squatting?"
His clear eyes were instantly filled with deep anger, and Lin Wu glared at the man with earrings fiercely.
After a stalemate, the director's voice was heard from the scene.
"Okay, Ka."
The actor acting opposite him immediately let go, and Yin Yan lowered his head and closed his eyes.
"Teacher Yin, are you okay?"
Exhaling, Yin Yan shook his head and said, "It's okay."
They stood there for a long time, and then heard the director say, "Go!"
Everyone cheered quietly and continued to position the camera for the following scenes.
Yin Yan followed the photographer to confirm the several camera positions where his face would need to be shown later. After everything was aligned, he looked towards the bathroom door again.
Yu Xiangwen was still standing there, his eyes fixed on Yin Yan.
There seemed to be a hint of tenderness in those eyes that could not be dispelled.
