Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Professionalism
After a night of heavy rain, the air in the city was noticeably damp, but the sky was clear and blue.
The water drops from the tender buds on the branches dripped down and hit the loose stone bricks, forming a small puddle. If you step on it carelessly, it will splash up a lot of mud and stain your trouser legs.
Lin Wu didn't bother to pay attention. He just buried his head and hurriedly hid in the green corridor covered with ivy beside the playground, trying to avoid the vague prying eyes around him.
As the night went by, the slap marks on the fair cheek became more noticeable. Lin Wu quickened his pace, leaving the noisy sounds on the playground behind.
"Our good students are not attending classes. Where are they going to go?"
Lin Wu wanted to go around the person who was blocking his way, but was pushed back.
After staggering two steps, Lin Wu had no choice but to look up.
The man with the earrings raised his hands exaggeratedly and backed away: "Hey, don't look at me like that, I don't like men."
The people around him sneered, "Brother, please stay away. What if they get on top of you?"
"That's wrong. She wants to pester someone else." The man with the earrings saw the marks on Lin Wu's face and seemed to have discovered a new world. He shouted in surprise, "Hey! Who made our class beauty's face dirty?"
"Oh - I heard that the head teacher called your mom here yesterday? Why, is your aunt angry because she knows that her son likes men?" Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, the man with earrings shook his head and sighed, "Aunt should have been mentally prepared a long time ago. Isn't it normal for a sissy to want to do the bottom when going to bed?"
Lin Wu's eyes were cold. He gritted his teeth and took a step back, trying to avoid this group of people.
But they won't let him go easily.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Come and chat with us."
His wrist was tightly held, and the person who grabbed Lin Wu had a disgusted look on his face, wrinkling it into a ball. He pretended to vomit and said, "Is he sick? I heard that homosexuals are promiscuous, and that's really dirty."
Lin Wu couldn't bear it any longer, and clenched his other hand into a fist and was about to hit him, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
After just a moment of hesitation, Lin was kicked in the back and fell to the ground, his knee hurting.
Soon, his arm was twisted again, just like the day in the bathroom.
"Hey, you're here." The boyfriend with earrings greeted politely.
Lin Wu also raised his head and looked at the person approaching.
He Xiandu only glanced at him calmly: "You called me here just to watch you bully people?"
"What do you mean by bullying? We were just joking with classmate Lin Wu." The man with the earrings stepped forward and hugged He Xiandu's neck, asking in a friendly manner, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that you don't want us to play with him? How about it, He Dabancao, is it okay?"
Although she knew that she shouldn't have any hope anymore, Lin Wu, who had been struggling, still calmed down, as if waiting for the boy's answer.
"Now everyone in the school knows that he likes men, but we don't know who he likes. If this person is really yours, then what's the saying, 'You're welcome, my brother's wife.'" The words of the man with earrings were ambiguous. He Xiandu lowered his eyes and looked at the person at his feet. What flashed through his mind were the rumors that had been pouring into his ears these days.
He was sitting in the seat behind Lin Wu, and it was impossible for him to be unaware of the gazes that passed over him and pressed on Lin Wu's thin back.
Lin Wu looked up at the red-marked face and stared at him in a trance. The expression on his handsome face was the same as that day on the rooftop.
At that time, the comic book slipped from He Xiandu's face. He glanced at the boy leaning on the edge of the rooftop, and vaguely felt that Lin Wu really wanted to flip over.
At this moment, Lin Wu was kneeling on the wet tiles. There was no rooftop in front of him, but there was a group of people spreading rumors about him.
He Xiandu's tightly pursed lips moved. He looked at Lin Wu's trembling eyelashes, suppressed the hoarseness in his voice, and said in a low and cold voice, "I told you last time, don't disgust me."
Shaking off the hand on his shoulder, the boy turned and left without stopping.
As if all his strength had been drained away, Lin Wu fell to the ground, staring blankly at the figure walking away.
The people who gathered around him gradually blocked the last ray of light in front of his eyes.
Summer is coming, but Lin Wu feels very cold.
…
This scene was shot several times, and the director did not say whether it was good or bad. He just let Yin Yan and Yu Xiangwen perform it over and over again, and kept several shots.
At the end of the performance, Yin Yan and Yu Xiangwen both suspected that the director was deliberately cheating and wanted them to treat him.
Fortunately, this last scene was filmed successfully.
When the director nodded and said "OK", Yin Yan's legs were already frozen as he knelt on the ground.
The weather was gradually getting warmer, but the ground was cold after the rainstorm. Yin Yan shook out his wet pants and was helped by Xiao Wu to go to the RV to change clothes.
After taking off his school uniform and simply treating the minor wounds on his body, he got out of the car and saw Yu Xiangwen waiting at the door.
He also changed out of his baggy school uniform and put on a thin jacket. He had the same body shape, but he suddenly changed from a tall, thin, lonely high school student to a mature and steady man.
"Is the injury serious?"
"It's okay, my knees are just a little bruised." Yin Yan pulled his coat and blinked at Yu Xiangwen. "Who did Director Zhao say was going to pay for the meal?"
Yu Xiangwen smiled and said, "The props team is too busy right now. You can ask Xiao Wu to return the clothes. When everyone has packed up, the director will book the whole place and go for a barbecue."
Yin Yan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Great!"
…
This was not a wrap-up party, we would see each other again in two months. The director booked a restaurant that was neither too big nor too small. It looked simple, but the food inside was delicious. There were quite a lot of people, so they put together several large tables and sat separately. There were no particular rules. You could sit wherever you wanted. In the second half, I don't know who asked for beer, so a few boxes of beer were brought over, and the atmosphere immediately became more heated.
If the main scene of the movie had not been filmed yet, Yin Yan would have really thought that he was about to finish filming.
"The next time we meet, we'll be filming the college scene. That's the main point." The director was of course the one who forced the whole crew to drink. After a round of drinking, even the beer made them a little drunk. Zhao Qing pulled Yin aside and said earnestly, "You must maintain your form. It's great now. When Xiang Wen was your age, he was also great. But things went astray later on. You can't go astray again..."
"Director Zhao, Director Zhao, you are drunk." Yang Jiashu, who came over from Group B, pulled Zhao Qing away and shook his head at Yin Yan, meaning not to listen to the drunkard's nonsense.
Yin Yan was holding the wine glass, still with a confused look on his face.
"Are you drunk?" Yu Xiangwen, who had just returned from the bathroom, touched Yin Yan's face with his cold hands. It was burning. "Drink less. You are still injured. You should avoid certain foods."
"It's okay, it's just beer." Yin Yan raised his head and smiled at Yu Xiangwen, "Teacher Yu, you are so handsome."
Yu Xiangwen: “…”
Obviously drunk.
After sitting for a while, seeing that Yin Yan was full, Yu Xiangwen went to say hello to the assistant director and left with Yin Yan.
Xiao Cao didn't come with us tonight, and Yu Xiangwen had also been drinking, so he had to take Yin Yan's car back to the hotel.
Yin Yan was helped into the car dazed, with his forehead pressed against the window to cool down. Xiao Wu walked around and sat back in the driver's seat. He said to Yu Xiangwen in the back, "Brother Yan can't drink much. He gets drunk as soon as he drinks."
"I can see that." The car started moving. Fearing that Yin Yan might hit his head, Yu Xiangwen straightened him up and adjusted the seat, allowing Yin Yan to half-recline so that he could be more comfortable.
After lying there for less than two seconds, Yin Yan sat up and looked at Yu Xiangwen intently.
"Teacher Yu..."
Yu Xiangwen looked at him: "Yeah."
"When will you return to City S?" Yin Yan didn't look very drunk. He looked at people and talked like that, just like he was not drunk.
"the day after tomorrow."
"Oh..." Yin Yan lowered his head, "Then we can't be together..."
"I'm going to drive to H City first, and then take a plane back." Yu Xiangwen said with a smile, "Didn't we talk about this this morning?"
"Yes, we can't be discovered... The fans are well-informed... Brother Yu's IP address is still in City S... They don't even know we are filming together... Hehe..." Yin Yan muttered to himself for a long while, then smiled foolishly at Yu Xiangwen, "The director just told me that the key plot is later, so I should stay in shape."
"Well, what else did the director say?" Yu Xiangwen's tone sounded like he was teasing a child, causing Xiao Wu to glance at him in the rearview mirror.
Yin Yan did not answer, but continued: "Next time we start filming, we will have a kissing scene."
"Oh, and there's a sex scene."
Yu Xiangwen: “…”
Xiao Wu: “…”
Xiao Wu couldn't bear to continue listening.
Yu Xiangwen was quiet for a moment, then responded, "So do you want to shoot it? During the reading, the director said that we didn't need to rehearse the sex scene, and you were very happy."
Is this still happening?
Xiao Wu pricked up his ears.
Yin Yan thought hard for a while, shook his head, nodded, and said, "I want to film with Teacher Yu, but I'm afraid it won't be good and will refresh the director's NG record. In the future, when promoting the movie, it's said that Yin Yan filmed a bed scene and had hundreds of NGs, which seems to be deliberately taking advantage of Yu Xiangwen."
Both people in the car were silent.
Xiao Wu resisted the urge to hold his forehead.
When Yin Yan wakes up tomorrow, he will definitely be ashamed to death by his current self.
Yu Xiangwen smiled so much that his eyes curved: "It's okay, I'll just say it was my fault when the time comes."
Yin Yan didn't quite understand, but after a while, he realized, "That means Yu Xiangwen is deliberately trying to take advantage of Yin Yan."
He immediately shook his head: "No, no, then they will say you are taking advantage of me, no."
"Brother Yu, when we're filming, can you take care of me?" Yin Yan leaned back in his chair, looking at Yu Xiangwen with a pair of bright eyes, "Let's try not to do too many NGs..."
Yu Xiangwen couldn't help but raised his hand and gently touched Yin Yan's soft cheek: "...I can't guarantee this either."
Yin Yan suddenly remembered: "Oh, right! Brother Yu, didn't you say before that you wanted to develop a tacit understanding with me? Once we have a tacit understanding, we will definitely be able to pass it in one try!"
Yu Xiangwen teased him again: "Aren't we in sync enough now?"
"Not enough." Yin Yan shook his head seriously. He held Yu Xiangwen's hand, which was about to be put down, and pressed it firmly against his face, saying, "The director has told us to meet more often and keep in touch. Brother, now that we are back in S City, can we still meet?"
The light from the car window flickered. Yu Xiangwen's fingers trembled. He looked at Yin Yan and said softly, "Of course."
Both of them fell silent.
Xiao Wu felt that the atmosphere in the back seat was a little strange.
Should he open the window so that everyone can get some fresh air and cool down?
Just as Xiao Wu's hand was hovering over the window-opening button, the drunkard who was half lying behind him chuckled, "Teacher Yu, you are amazing. You got into the role as soon as you said you would. Next time you start filming, just look at me like this. Director Zhao Qing will definitely not have a chance to make an NG."
A certain movie star was so angry that he said, "..."
Xiao Wu in the front row let out a breath slowly.
It turns out that the two people were communicating with each other through eye contact.
What an admirable professionalism!
