The most popular topic in the Star Empire recently is the upcoming performance of Cecil by the Starlight Art Troupe. People have mixed opinions about this. Some people say that the Starlight Art Troupe is destroying its own reputation, but more people are looking forward to it. They want to see how the most famous art troupe in Chaos Continent interprets the notoriously difficult play. Even without special promotion, the Starlight Art Troupe's Cecil is already very popular. The tickets they sold were snapped up on the first day. In the next few days, the ticket price was constantly raised, but it was still difficult to get a ticket.

Finally, the day of the opening of Cecil finally arrived. The streets were empty that day, and almost everyone in the imperial capital crowded outside the Starlight Art Troupe. The Star Empire had to dispatch a guard group to clear a path for people to pass through. Every time someone wanted to go in, someone outside was still bidding the price - when the Starlight Art Troupe announced that Cecil would only be performed once, the tickets for Cecil were directly sold at sky-high prices, making those who didn't buy tickets beat their chests and sigh.

In a remote magic tower, glass bottles of all sizes filled every corner, filled with liquids of different colors. This is the magic tower of the famous alchemist, Belodis. She is a popular alchemist in the Chaos Continent, because her research direction is to make people immortal, and the potion she makes can effectively relieve aging. Many people, especially the nobles, want to curry favor with Belodis, but this alchemist with a strange temper has always stayed in her magic tower and refused everyone to enter.

Belodisi sat in a wheelchair, quietly looking at the tickets for Cecil, and took out a pocket watch from her pocket. When she saw the pocket watch, Belodisi's eyes became complicated and sad.

The hands of the pocket watch showed that there was still an hour before the performance began. Belodis stared at the ticket for a long time, and finally reached out to pick it up and called her apprentice.

Outside Starlight Performing Arts Company.

"Look! That's the Emperor's carriage. How magnificent!"

"Can you see His Majesty? I heard that His Majesty is 8 years old this year."

"I can't see it because I'm blocked. Wait, I think I saw the Prime Minister's carriage - hiss, it's more magnificent than the Emperor's!"

…

People outside were enjoying the excitement, but the leader inside was having a hard time. As everyone knew, the emperor and prime minister of the Star Empire were sworn enemies, fighting each other like crazy. Now these two enemies arrived at the scene almost at the same time. As the top leader of the Starlight Art Troupe, which one should he go to greet?

The young emperor of the Star Empire had already gotten off the carriage. Even though he was wearing the imperial robes, his young appearance could not reflect the majesty of an emperor. The door of the other carriage had just been opened, and the first person to get off was the Prime Minister's only son, Erwin, who was a well-known playboy in the Star Empire. The next person to get off was the Prime Minister. The old man who had his hair done meticulously was the current ruler of the Star Empire. When the Prime Minister glanced at the young emperor, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

The atmosphere was so tense when they first met that the team leader almost cried. Fortunately, the next person to arrive completely solved his dilemma. The team leader first saluted the emperor and the prime minister solemnly, then asked two deputy team members to lead them into the box, and he warmly greeted the old man who was being pulled by a little girl.

"Master Antonio, it is an honor for Starlight to have you here!"

Naturally, no one dared to disrespect the First Magic God. Even the emperor and the prime minister were trying to please Antonio. As long as they could capture the First Magic God, they could basically sentence the other party to death. Antonio waved to the leader casually and said to Mi'er drunkenly, "Little Mi'er, walk slower. Grandpa's old bones are about to break."

"Grandpa, you are too slow!" Mier stamped her feet, then looked at the leader: "Where is Xiu?"

"Backstage."

After getting the answer she wanted, Mier let go of Antonio and ran to find Xiu. Bart, who had been waiting by her side, followed her. Antonio opened the wine bottle and took a sip, sighing in an ambiguous way, "It's great to be young."

Soon Mier came to the backstage. Surprisingly, the backstage was incredibly quiet. Everyone was busy, but they didn't make any sound. They were so cautious that they seemed to be afraid that any noise would wake them up from this wonderful dream.

Even though everyone was doing their own thing, they could feel their eyes occasionally tilted to a corner. Mier looked over there and immediately spotted the culprit who had silenced everyone.

At that moment, Mier understood "Cecil" from the bottom of her heart.

This kind of beauty should be preserved forever and no one can monopolize it.

***

Du Ze held a long, straight black wig in his left hand and a red and black women's dress in his right hand. He looked completely relaxed.

Xiaotong, for you, I have sacrificed myself to this extent... I absolutely love you...

Du Ze put down the wig and lifted the clothes with both hands. A lace ribbon fell down and was picked up by the little phoenix before it landed on the ground and flew back to the chair. The fluffy ball put down the lace ribbon and looked at the wig curiously with his black eyes.

"Jiubi?"

The poor reader looked painfully at the gothic long skirt, which was tied with ribbons and layers of lace that almost blinded his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes. After hesitating for a long time, Du Ze took off his glasses and began to change clothes. When he had just managed to pull his head out of the skirt, a wig fell directly from the air and was put on his head. The little phoenix that carried the wig excitedly cried: "Jiubi!"

Du Ze waved his hands subconsciously as his vision was blocked. He finally put on the wig correctly, and then tragically found that he had thrown his glasses somewhere. After searching for a while and not finding them, Du Ze could only put on his clothes and let others come in to help him find them. He picked up a lace ribbon and squinted to identify its purpose.

What is this lace band used for? A belt?

Du Ze held the lace strap against his waist and seriously came to a conclusion: if this thing was put on his waist, the most likely result would be that people would find a corpse in the locker room, and a detective would pick up the lace strap from the corpse and say to everyone, look, this is the murder weapon.

A hand took away the lace from his hand, Du Ze looked up, and in his blurry vision, he saw a person standing there holding a lace. Because of his severe myopia, Du Ze could only recognize that it was Xiu, and the details were hazy.

"Around the neck."

Du Ze heard Xiu say this, and then the hazy face came closer and closer. Du Ze felt something around his neck, and it was Xiu holding the lace ribbon against his neck. The hair on his neck was brushed aside, and the cool hands gently tied the knot. Du Ze had the illusion that Xiu was tying a bell on a cat.

When the bell rings, you can know where your cat is.

After tying the lace ribbon, Xiu inserted his fingers into his hair and slid them down. Du Ze realized at this moment that he was wearing women's clothes, and suddenly he felt sick.

As if sensing Du Ze's stiffness, Xiu said softly, "It looks good."

"...You like this?"

Xiu's fingertips brushed across the ends of her hair: "Because it's you."

Du Ze was speechless. He originally thought that if Xiu liked women's clothing, then Mengzhu was indeed a heterosexual. However, Xiu's answer now made him see no hope of convincing Mengzhu.

——Because it's you, I like you no matter what you look like.

Even though he couldn't see clearly, Du Ze unnaturally turned his eyes away from Xiu, and then a flash of light flashed in the corner of his eyes. Du Ze squinted and found that it was his lost glasses, which were now hanging on the fat bird.

The little phoenix held the glasses with its beak and made a cute sound: "Jiubi~"

Du Ze: ...

Just as Du Ze took back his glasses, Enoch's voice came from outside the dressing room: "Are you ready? The show is about to begin!"

The blurry world suddenly became clear. Du Ze stared blankly at Xiu, who was dressed up carefully, with his mind blank. The elf was wearing a neutral white robe with gold patterns. His long silver hair was carefully groomed and tied with a headdress. The makeup on his face was very light, but it perfectly showed his exquisiteness. That kind of beauty blurred gender and only made people feel beautiful - a beauty that could not be described with specific adjectives, and it gave people a deep desire to possess him.

This is "Cecil", whose beauty amazes the world.

When Cecil appeared, the audience became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

【Once there was a very beautiful man named Cecil.】

In the narration, Xiu just stood there and drove everyone crazy.

Du Ze watched all this in the backstage. He couldn't understand why Xiu Wei fell in love with him.

...Why him?

Du Ze looked at the frozen time of God General Cecil, as if he had a glimpse of some kind of ending for himself.

Soon Du Ze put all these behind him, and he began to get nervous because a silly and cute person was about to appear. Regarding Cecil's lover, in order to match the "cold, elegant and noble" Du Ze, the team leader changed the original script and positioned the lover as a cold-outside-but-warm-inside type. So Du Ze only had to maintain his usual paralysis and show affection with Xiu before leaving. But even so, it was a huge challenge for Du Ze, who had been socially handicapped for many years. He looked at the densely packed audience seats and kept hypnotizing himself that he would not be able to see after taking off his glasses.

[God froze Cecil's time, leaving him forever in the most beautiful moment.] After the narration, the stage instantly changed to a blue sky and grass, and lively music sounded. Cecil stood under the tree, as if waiting for someone. Birds sang his beauty beside him, and flowers praised his beauty below, but Cecil kept leaning against the tree trunk. From beginning to end, his eyes were only focused on a certain direction, ignoring everything around him.

Gradually, a girl in black and red clothes came out. There was no expression on her face and she looked very difficult to get along with. But when she appeared, Cecil's eyes lit up instantly, and her stunning beauty became even more brilliant.

The whole world is looking at him, but when he looks at his lover, it seems like he is looking at the whole world.

Mi'er sat in the box, looking at everything below, she thought, how enviable...that person is.

Almost all the audience had the same idea. They looked at the girl on the stage and wished they could take her place. To be fair, the black-haired girl was indeed very pretty, but compared to Cecil, she was nothing.

Du Ze sat stiffly on the lawn. Even though he couldn't see clearly, he could feel those fierce gazes poking at his body, poking and poking, poking him to death, wishing he would bleed to death.

Help, help...QAQ

His head sank, and it was Xiu who put the wreath on his head. Next, he had to kiss Xiu on the face as per the script.

But... as the script writer, don't you really have a grudge against the actor who plays the lover? In this situation, can I really get away with it by being close to the blue guy? ?

Du Ze moved a little closer to Xiu, and instantly felt that he was glaring at with even more daggers.

Damn, this guy is acting with his life!

Xiu also noticed that Du Ze was frozen in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward. Without a second thought, he decisively took the initiative to kiss him.

Du Ze opened his eyes wide: Xiu kissed the mouth, not the face!

Under the gaze of the whole audience, the silver-haired elf embraced the black-haired girl and kissed her intimately, the intensity of which even made many people blush and their hearts beat fast. Du Ze did not dare to struggle at all, and before he could even close his mouth, all the air was taken away from him. At first, a certain fool could still remember that they were still acting, but when he was finally released, he had already lost his sense of direction and could only be held tightly in Xiu's arms.

Cecil hugged his lover and kissed his lover's black hair: "We will be together forever."

The lover in his arms was silent for a while, then he said softly, "Yeah."

The birds stopped singing, the flowers drooped their heads, and the whole world was staring at the lovers, in terrible silence.

【The whole world fell in love with Cecil and was jealous of his lover. 】

The team leader was stunned: the original plot was that Cecil gave the lover a wreath, the lover kissed Cecil on the face and said "together forever", Cecil kissed the lover back and agreed. But after seeing the scene just now, the team leader found that the effect was better that way, because it was the beautiful Cecil who was always taking the initiative, so everyone would be more jealous of his lover.

Du Ze was exhausted when he came down from the stage. The script had already progressed to the part where Cecil and his lover separated. The subsequent lovers were all played by actors from the Starlight Art Troupe, so he had no part to play. A certain silly boy had a frozen face and walked straight into the dressing room, not daring to look at other people's eyes. Ever since he and Xiu went through the second act once in rehearsal, everyone looked at them in strange ways. Mi'er sobbed and said that she had broken up again, while Enoch was like, "You are all my good brothers, so I will support you." Can you expect a socially awkward silly boy to explain one by one? No, so the silly boy could only say "You misunderstood" and that was it. And just now, he and Xiu had a French kiss in public.

hehe.

Just when Du Ze arrived at the locker room, the team leader stood in front of Du Ze with a smile.

"I have something to ask of you..."

[Braun said to her lover: You are so old, how can you be worthy of Cecil.

Rose said to her lover: You are so ugly, how can you be worthy of Cecil.

In the box, Belodis looked at the woman on the stage surrounded by Lark and Rose, her hands clenched on the armrests of the wheelchair, turning pale with tension.

[Lovers start to think: If I become that beautiful, can I be with Cecil?] In the memory, there is a woman named Belodis who thinks: If I can make a potion that can make people look younger, can I be with him?

【So the lovers used forbidden magic. 】

A cloud of smoke filled the stage, and the magic circle painted with blood on the ground gradually dissipated. Cecil's lover stood in the middle of the stage with his back to the audience, and at this time the narration sounded.

【She finally became more beautiful. 】

No one could see the lovers' faces, they could only imagine what someone more beautiful than Cecil looked like.

[So God returned Cecil's time and froze the lovers' time.] In the last scene, Xiu walked out from the other end of the sea of ​​flowers. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the person in the center of the stage - it was Du Ze.

At the two ends of the sea of ​​flowers, the two looked at each other from a distance. In the traditional "Cecil", this would be the ending. However, Du Ze thought about what the leader had told him. He looked at Xiu on the other side, habitually pressed the earphone hidden in his black hair, and said seriously: "We will be together forever."

Xiu was stunned at first, then his expression softened to the point that it made people want to cry.

"kindness."

The curtain falls.

The audience stared at the bright red curtain for a long time, unable to recover from the shock.

The author has something to say: Author: Tell me what you find most incomprehensible.

Reader: The endurance of the protagonist of a stallion novel.

Protagonist: Because it’s (facing) you.
