欢乐 今宵
Chapter 11
Perhaps because he was worried that the meeting would be too embarrassing, after that day, Lu Shengze didn't "summon" me again for a long time.
It was the eve of New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and I hurried back to my hometown Chengdu. Before boarding the plane, I sent a message to Ms. Cheng in advance—but she didn't reply to me.
It’s my hometown, but I’m actually very unfamiliar with this city. I can’t speak dialect, I don’t eat spicy food, and I hardly remember the traces of my previous life here. One year of high school.
Later, I left home and came to Shanghai to study at university, and I only went home occasionally during winter and summer vacations; when I started working after graduation, I seldom went back to my hometown.
My relationship with Ms. Cheng was also very good at first, until I came out to her because of Lin Xia, and the protracted cold war between us kicked off.
At that time, Lin Xia and I had just been together for two years, and we went to meet his parents first.
Lin Xia also realized his orientation when he entered adolescence, but he was most fortunate to have a pair of enlightened parents who respected his choice.
When Lin's father and Lin's mother saw me, they didn't feel that I was an old cow eating tender grass. It was probably because of my good looks and a decent job. I looked more mature, stable and reliable, and they were quite satisfied with me.
After meeting Lin Xia's parents, I wanted to bring him to see Ms. Cheng.
Everyone hopes that their relationship can be blessed by the family they love the most, and of course I am no exception.
I first confessed my sexuality to Ms. Cheng myself, and then I got a furious mother, a beating with a feather duster, and some memories I forgot.
She cried and scolded me emotionally, saying that I was still like that bastard of my father. From the intermittent accusations and scolding, I heard a general reason.
It turned out that the reason why Ms. Cheng divorced my fuzzy father was that he cheated on the marriage; it turned out that I had already come out to her once before, just before my car accident.
After I woke up, I forgot everything. She thought that my sexual orientation would become "normal", but I didn't expect that after so many years, I would still go the old way.
Ms. Cheng hit me, but I didn't resist.
When she was tired from beating and crying, I said to her with red eyes again: "Mom... I'm sorry. But I really only like men, I—"
"I don't have a son like you, get out!" She kicked me out of the house.
I know that Ms. Cheng has her pain, but I am also in pain. I don't care what outsiders think, but I care about her and her attitude towards me.
Her disgust and insults really hurt me, and I was angry with her. After leaving home, I didn't go back for a long time, nor did I contact her.
In order to ease the relationship between me and Ms. Cheng, Lin Xia took great pains. He ran to my house during the holidays and made several encounters with Ms. Cheng. He succeeded in getting in touch with her as a young friend with the advantage of his appearance. Way.
He is much better at pleasing the elders than I am. After more than a year, he greets Ms. Cheng and solves her problems. He is almost treated as her own son by Ms. Cheng.
Probably felt that the time was almost up, Lin Xia told me about it, so we decided to try again.I took him home.
Unexpectedly, after Ms. Cheng reacted, she was even more pissed off. She barely had a meal with us, and then issued an order to evict her. In the end, Lin Xia was also blacklisted.
Afterwards, our several exchanges were not very pleasant, and she still couldn't accept the fact that I was gay—maybe she could accept others, such as Lin Xia, but when it came to me, she would start to get nervous.
This time, when I knocked on the door of the house, Ms. Cheng let me in despite her stinky face. The room was filled with the aroma of hot food, and there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Ms. Cheng glanced behind me indiscriminately, and found that there was no one, but she didn't say anything, and just put away the extra bowls and chopsticks as if nothing had happened.
There was nothing to talk about during the dinner. After the meal, I took the initiative to wash the dishes. She still didn't hold back. She stood at the door of the kitchen with her arms folded, and asked me in a neutral tone: "Where was that boy last time? We broke up." gone?"
"How did I see his scandal with other people..." Ms. Cheng pretended to be disdainful on the surface, but I could still feel her soft heart from her tone.
I smiled unconsciously and explained: "Aren't there too many groundless things in the entertainment circle? You still don't know what kind of person Xia Xia is?"
After I finished speaking, I paused, Lin Xia really wouldn't do such a thing, because I was the one who did it.
My smile gradually faded, and I no longer had the confidence to face Ms. Cheng.
Ms. Cheng realized that the relationship between Lin Xia and I was still stable, snorted, and went to the living room to turn on the TV.
It happened to be the time when the news broadcast started, and while watching it, she raised her voice and said to me: "...the one who is rumored to have an affair with Lin Xia—the president of Shenghe Entertainment, his name is Lu, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance. If you meet him, you must stay away from him."
I took it for granted and nodded silently.
The slogan of the TV station has always been "If the earth does not explode, we will not have a holiday." I combined my annual leave and days off for a week to stay at home with Ms. Cheng.
Ms. Cheng has her own business. She runs two teahouses. The business has always been booming, and they opened again after the Chinese New Year.
I went to the front desk to help her look at the store, she looked indifferent, but when I turned around, I saw her happily bragging to regular customers about her son's "heroic appearance" on TV, and promised to ask for my autograph for them.
I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, thinking that when Lin Xia's movie finished, I might be able to bring him back to meet his parents formally.
Years later, Lin Xia officially finished her filming from Wenling's crew.
But before Lin Xia had time to take a vacation, he started spinning around again. Sheng He seemed to throw all kinds of good resources on him, and arranged his announcements very densely.
His popularity has risen visibly with the naked eye. Although there are many people who ridicule and praise him and get struck by lightning, he is indeed good enough, and he has always been a good person. He can't find any black material - except for the scandal with Lu Shengze - sooner or later he will become popular thing.
Lu Shengze didn't look for me again, just like he never appeared in my life.
I guess that's about the end of my brief deal with him, sooner than I thought, and I should be glad.
February nineteenth, my birthday.
Lin Xia was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and she forcibly set aside a day and a half for this, planning to go home and spend a romantic night with me, and then stay in the apartment and enjoy the two-person world for a day the next day.
The plan is good. It is rare for me to go to the kitchen next time. I have prepared a candlelight dinner and waited for Lin Xia to come back. I would lie on the sofa and send him a message.
He only has one magazine cover shoot today, which is in downtown Shanghai, Shenshi. If everything goes well, it will be time to call it a day.
Sure enough, he quickly replied to me: "I just finished work, and the shooting went well. The photography teacher is very nice. I will show you some Reuters photos quietly! [Picture] [Picture]"
"Am I handsome? ^^"
Lin Xia sent over two photos taken by his assistant. In the photos, he was wearing a black velvet suit with a white accordion pleated shirt and a wine red Windsor knot, with a rose pinned on his chest.
His half-length hair after filming a costume movie was combed back, and a ponytail was pulled loosely behind his head, revealing his smooth forehead; the contours of his facial features appeared deep and sharp under the deliberate lighting, and his expression Half hidden in the shadows, obscure.
Very different from his usual style, but undeniably, really handsome.
I did not hesitate to praise: "Handsome, very handsome."
Lin Xia immediately sent a short video. The make-up artist was removing his makeup. He winked at the camera, and he didn't look like the same person as the glamorous and noble look just now.
I couldn't help laughing, and kept chatting with him on WeChat, waiting for him to come home.
He gave his assistant and driver a break, took a taxi back by himself, and told me where he had been all the way; he also asked me to guess what birthday present he had prepared for me. Sell this to the end.
After a while, Lin Xia didn't reply.
I thought maybe he had run out of battery on his cell phone, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but still waited expectantly.It was estimated that the time was almost up, and the aromatherapy and candles were lit first.
But I waited from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am, the candles were almost burnt out, and Lin Xia still didn't come back.
During this period, I made more than a dozen calls to him, but no one answered them. The last time I simply turned off the phone.
My intuition told me something might be wrong.
But I really can't think of what could happen in such a short distance from the studio to my home. Could it be a traffic accident?I was terrified immediately. The last message he sent me was that he had passed Jing'an Temple, and that section of the road was really busy. I can't rule out this possibility.
I was a little flustered for a while, pacing back and forth in the room, the first name that flashed in my mind was actually Lu Shengze.
I don't have much experience in dealing with emergencies, nor do I have any powerful connections. The only person who thinks that there might be a solution is Lu Shengze.
Lin Xia is an artist of Shenghe, if something happens, Lu Shengze should take care of it, right?
Thinking about it this way, I found out the number Lu Shengze used to contact me the last time, it should be his private number, so I quickly called him.
However, the phone rang twice and was cut off. I know that no one likes to be disturbed in their dreams, but I was really anxious, and I didn't care about thinking about whether it was annoying or not. I just hoped to ask him for help.
Compared to making a phone call, it might be faster to come to him and beg him. Didn't Lu Shengze say who I look like?I begged him with this face, it should make him soft-hearted.
So I went out in the cold wind, and drove all the way to the outside of Lu Shengze's villa.
As soon as the car stopped, I saw four or five pitch-black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles parked in front of the villa, and several black-clothed bodyguards guarded the door, like a gangster movie.
At this point in time, what happened to Lu Shengze?
I tried to walk into the villa with doubts, but the bodyguard at the door stopped me, and I quickly reported the house: "I am your Mr. Lu's... um... lover, I have something important to talk to him about."
I still said the word that I was most unwilling to face before, and the bodyguard's expression changed slightly, and he repeated my words into the walkie-talkie, asking for instructions.
After a while, I was put in.
I followed the familiar route through the garden to the front hall. The room was brightly lit. There was a crowd of people standing in the spacious living room, and a strange woman with a sad face was sitting on the sofa.
That woman could be seen to be of a certain age, but she was very beautiful, a very gentle and quiet beauty, not petty, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Lu Shengze.
When she saw me walking in, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked shocked: "Ji Chen! Why are you!"
"Why are you so lingering? Didn't I already give your mother money to take you away?"
I guessed that she should be Lu Shengze's mother, the legendary sequel who fascinated Mr. Lu. As for the person she was talking about... I smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."
"My surname is Cheng, Cheng Jingrui, I have something urgent to ask Mr. Lu for help—" I was thinking about Lin Xia, and I just wanted to see Lu Shengze as soon as possible.
Mrs. Lu looked suspicious: "Are you really not Ji Chen?"
"I don't know the person you mentioned." I insisted anxiously, "Can I meet Mr. Lu first..."
Seeing that I didn't look like I was lying, she didn't ask any more questions.She obviously has more pressing matters than this.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to see him for the time being." Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth on her gentle face, "He's just a little star, why should he risk himself!"
It was the eve of New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and I hurried back to my hometown Chengdu. Before boarding the plane, I sent a message to Ms. Cheng in advance—but she didn't reply to me.
