dear dreamer

Deng Tingge quickly finished washing the car, said hello to the team leader, and then sat and chatted with Luo Hengqiu.

Luo Hengqiu was brought here by a friend to wash the car, and he was surprised to see Deng Tingge.

"I recognized you at the time, but you don't seem to remember me. Today I went to the hotel to ask, and they said that you are not on duty today, and I plan to continue tomorrow." Luo Hengqiu said, "Long time no see, four or five It's been a year. You don't seem to have changed much."

Deng Tinge thought about it.When Luo Hengqiu graduated, he was just about to enter his third year of high school. He was busy with his studies, and Luo Hengqiu went abroad again, so the two lost contact.He is a junior this year, and after all the calculations, he said that it will not take long, only four years.

Luo Hengqiu smiled and said, why do I feel like it's been a long time

He asked about Deng Tingge's current situation, and Deng Tingge said everything in detail.He was admitted to his favorite acting major, and now his studies are not too stressful, so he looks for part-time jobs everywhere to make money, and he also performs in drama theaters to hone himself.Luo Hengqiu looked at his overalls, and was a little surprised: "Now you can apply for student loans and grants in college, so you don't have to be so tired."

Deng Tingge hurriedly told Luo Hengqiu that he had misunderstood.

"There's a reason I work so many jobs."

When he was about to explain, the team leader called him to move things over there.Luo Hengqiu's friend also said on the other side that he was going to leave.The two left a phone call in a hurry, and Deng Tingge said to contact you after get off work, so you can make tonight free.

Luo Hengqiu agreed, saved his number, looked it up again, and silently memorized it in his heart.

After getting into the car, Luo Hengqiu watched Deng Tingge through the car window while fastening his seat belt, who was starting to wash the car again.

After all, he is already a young man in his 20s, his face has lost all traces of childishness, and the muscles of his hands and feet are also prominent.He was wearing the work clothes of the car wash shop, the clothes didn't seem to fit well, and he looked a little fat, but he was tall, showing his slender ankles and neck.Deng Tingge looked back at the car Luo Hengqiu got into, hesitated for a while and waved to the car.

Luo Hengqiu hastily waved.

Zhong Xing wore sunglasses on the driver's seat, and couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance.

"Stop waving, once the car window is closed, he won't be able to see you from the outside." Zhong Xing said, "People just wave, why don't you respond nonsense."

Luo Hengqiu ignored him, still staring wildly outside.

Zhong Xing couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey, who is that?" He looked at Deng Tingge for a while, "You don't like Kong Yu?"

"Again, don't associate me with Kong Yu. He's my younger brother who studied acting." Luo Hengqiu looked away, "It's been a long time."

"Not bad, very handsome." Zhong Xing said, "The figure is not bad, but a little thinner. Who didn't ask me to help him find a model for an advertisement two days ago? Your junior brother can do it. You don't need to shoot the whole body. Take the key parts..."

Luo Hengqiu's complexion immediately turned a little dark.

"The lingerie ad?"

"What's wrong with underwear?" Zhong Xing said, "Who doesn't wear underwear? It's a necessity for the general public, and you don't wear it? Don't dislike underwear, underwear also has dignity."

"Is that normal underwear?" Luo Hengqiu was very upset, "It's impossible for me to tell you."

"A young man of your junior brother's age is preparing to enter the industry, and his biggest wish is to become famous. What's wrong with that kind of underwear, there are many people wearing it. Fun, fun, do you understand that life needs fun, so it's only good to shoot fun." Popular. Once you are popular, you will become famous, you will be happy, you will be grateful, and you will be..."

Luo Hengqiu said, fuck your fun, fasten your seat belt naturally, Director Zhong.

He was thinking about what Deng Tingge said, and immediately turned down all the invitations for tonight on the way.

However, he didn't receive a call from Deng Tingge until after six o'clock in the evening.Deng Tingge asked him to meet outside the People's Theater tonight.Luo Hengqiu became inexplicably excited.

He didn't realize it until after he went out, because he guessed that Deng Tingge would have dinner with him, he didn't eat any dinner, his stomach was empty at the moment, and even a little hurt.

With a dry stomach, Luo Hengqiu waited outside the People's Theater for a while. He was so hungry that he bought two tea eggs.As soon as he finished eating one, he saw Deng Tingge running out of the theater and running towards himself.

"Brother, I'll take you in to watch a drama." Deng Tingge said.

Luo Hengqiu looked at Deng Tingge's attire.Deng Tingge was completely different from what he was wearing during the day, especially an old-fashioned handbag hanging around his neck, which was bulging with a lot of change.

Deng Tingge looked down at himself and said with a smile, "I'm here to sell tickets."

The two walked and chatted.When Luo Hengqiu heard him mention that he hadn't had dinner yet, he cleaned up the half-peeled tea eggs and handed them to Deng Tingge.Deng Tingge grabbed his hand and ate it whole, then continued to chirp and chirp.Luo Hengqiu walked in behind him, rubbing his fingers secretly.

The People's Theater was the most elegant consumption place in the city many years ago.When Deng Tingge and Luo Hengqiu were in high school, the school organized students to come here to watch movies or performances.Once on the way to watch a movie, there was a sudden chaotic sound from the freshman side.Luo Hengqiu, who was sitting not far away, looked up and saw a boy standing up straight, holding a limp and fainted female classmate in his arms.

That person is Deng Tingge.The girl next to him remained pale, and then passed out while holding her stomach.The young man Deng Tingge acted bravely and ran to the People's Hospital across the street with his arms in his arms without saying a word, followed by a group of boys who took the opportunity to escape because the movie was too boring.Luo Hengqiu couldn't remember what the movie was about.But he sat until the end, just didn't look into anything, and kept thinking about the panting face of the young man when he ran past him.

Later, the People's Theater gradually declined.The place is too small to expand, and there is no money to build it. It has been standing there without embarrassment. Tonight there will be a two-person show, and tomorrow there will be a striptease. color.

Luo Hengqiu froze for a moment when he followed Deng Tingge into a room in the theater.

"Small theater?" Luo Hengqiu said with a smile.

He knew what tickets Deng Tingge was selling.This is a small drama theater.

There were about twenty young people sitting in the room, and when they saw Deng Tingge coming in, they all looked up and greeted him, as if they were familiar with him.

"Have you seen it?" Deng Tingge took him to sit down.

"I've seen it." Luo Hengqiu said, "But it doesn't count as understanding."

Deng Tingge sat beside him and began to count the money, "It's okay if you don't understand, as long as you think it looks good."

This small drama theater is an important reason for him to work several jobs.It costs 500 yuan a time, and the room can be used for one night. After the performance, you can also review the performance and rehearse the next one.

Deng Tingge and several colleagues from the school formed a small drama club, which is somewhat famous in the drama circle of colleges and universities in this city.As the lead persons, he and his friends naturally have to bear these expenses: venue rental, prop rental, table and chair rental, as well as actors' costumes and so on.

"We usually perform on our own. Sometimes if we invite people from other theater companies, the labor fee will definitely be unavoidable. People from brother schools are more polite, but it is definitely not justified not to invite a meal and a drink." Deng Tingge After finishing the money, he smiled, "The audience paid voluntarily, 400 per ticket. Tonight's more than [-] yuan, almost."

Luo Hengqiu hurriedly took out a twenty: "I'll buy a ticket too."

Deng Tingge pushed back: "Don't do this, I invite you today."

Luo Hengqiu put away the money, thought for a while and said, "That moment is over, let me treat you to supper."

"Okay, okay, that's right." Deng Tingge was about to perform, so he put the satchel around his neck in Luo Hengqiu's hands, "Save it for me first, and I'll come to you after the performance."

Luo Hengqiu hugged the satchel and thought, aren't you afraid that I will abscond with the money?

He thought again, it would be good if he escaped, so that Deng Tingge would come to chase him, chasing and chasing, and he would end up in the end of the world if he was not careful.

What will be performed in the small theater tonight is the work of a pioneering playwright. He adapted "Animal Farm" and told stories about the difficulties of urban people's thinking and life through the stories of several pets and their owners.

The light illuminates a space in the small room. Pomeranians, Golden Retrievers, Samoyeds, and Chinese Garden Dogs come on stage one after another, following behind their owners obsequiously.

It was very quiet in the room, and the actors were quite engaged.They walk in the gap between the audience, fully integrated into the environment, slowly reciting poems in the ears of the listeners, and expressing their emotions with lines with great excitement.The audience seems to be in the plot, breathing together with the actors and the story.

Deng Tingge plays the pet owner's boyfriend.He changed into a jacket, his hair was scratched, and hurried into the bright space.

From the moment he appeared, Luo Hengqiu couldn't take his eyes off him.

There were only two rows of chairs between them, about three meters apart, but Deng Tingge, standing under the light with a lively expression, seemed to be another person.

The voice, tone, and speed of his speech all changed. The one standing there was not Deng Tingge, but a weak man who dared not resist his girlfriend.The Chinese pastoral dog jumped on him, crying sadly about the fact that he was abandoned by his master.Deng Tingge sat on the ground touching the actor's rough blond wig, his eyes and gestures were extremely gentle, as if it was really a sad dog lying on his knee.

He stood up and walked around, holding the girl's hand and begging, standing on the edge of the light reciting poetry sadly, and hanging his head in frustration when his girlfriend laughed at him.Luo Hengqiu knew that this was the fun of small theater plays: there was almost no gap between the audience and the actors, and he seemed to be able to touch that person with his hand.

However, he was very disappointed: Deng Tingge didn't play much time, and he never came to his side once.

Luo Hengqiu had never watched a play with such devotion.He could immediately understand the meaning of Deng Tingge's every move. He moved around the edge of the light, sighed facing the audience, and occasionally glanced at Luo Hengqiu when his eyes moved. Unspeakable happiness, as if the person in the field has a tiny secret with him that cannot be shared with outsiders.

"How is it?" Deng Tingge walked to him after the performance and asked eagerly.

"It's an interesting script." Luo Hengqiu said honestly, "It's just that your time on the stage is too short, and you haven't watched enough."

Deng Tingge was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled.

Although he and Luo Hengqiu have known each other since high school and are closer than ordinary friends, he still feels that there is a big gap between himself and this senior.Luo Hengqiu's father is a famous businessman, and his mother is a university professor. In the previous generation, he was either a soldier or a scholar. He came from a real scholarly family. There is nothing wrong with his friends calling him "Young Master Luo" occasionally. The place.At first Deng Tingge only thought that he was an unsmiling but good-natured senior brother. After getting acquainted with him, he didn't bother to understand Luo Hengqiu's background. Later, when he found out by chance, looking back at himself, he just found it incredible.

Why would Luo Hengqiu be friends with him?

Apart from the fact that the other party was nice, Deng Tingge really couldn't find any other reason.

"Let's go for supper." Deng Tingge handed the satchel to the other people in the drama club, and turned to Luo Hengqiu.Seeing that he did not intend to introduce himself, Luo Hengqiu nodded to Deng Tingge's colleagues as a greeting, and walked out with him.

The Huaihuang Street next to the People's Theater is still brightly lit.All kinds of food in the night market were smelling hot and fragrant. Deng Tingge sat down at the entrance of the porridge shop and saw Luo Hengqiu standing there, smiling inexplicably.

"why are you laughing?"

"You've always had porridge here, even in high school." Luo Hengqiu sat down and waved to the boss, "Two bowls of eel porridge, what's new tonight?"

After he finished ordering, Deng Tingge looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.He really likes to eat the eel porridge from this porridge shop the most. In the past, after self-study and get out of class at night, he always pedaled his bicycle for more than ten minutes to drink a bowl.

He brought Luo Hengqiu here a few times, but he never expected that Luo Hengqiu would still remember it.

Luo Hengqiu sat on a simple plastic chair, turned his head and looked around: "Qinghuotang Herbal Tea hasn't closed down yet? Do you drink herbal tea?"

He went to buy a cup of Luo Han Guo and a cup of chrysanthemum tea and put it on the table.Deng Tingge looked at the two glasses of liquid on the table, feeling a little complicated.Only then did he realize something he hadn't thought of before: the relationship between Luo Hengqiu and Kong Yu.

Seeing that Luo Hengqiu's joy was so intense that he even forgot about it, he felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

Luo Hengqiu didn't know what he was thinking, when the eel porridge came, he pushed it in front of him: "Has the taste changed?"

"Have you eaten for a long time?"

Luo Hengqiu nodded in acknowledgment.

Deng Tingge had that matter in his heart, and he couldn't eat comfortably enough. He hesitated for a long time, and decided to ask when he was almost done eating: "That day... that day I saw you and Kong Yu, did you quarrel?"

He considered the way of asking, but Luo Hengqiu still heard his implication immediately.

"There is no quarrel, there is nothing between me and him." Luo Hengqiu drank the herbal tea in the cup, stared at the bottom of the cup and said, "The person I like is not like him."

He looked up at Deng Tingge who was stunned, and said again: "What's the matter, you know I like men, are you afraid that I will harass you?"

"No, no, no!" Deng Tingge waved his hands indiscriminately, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."

Luo Hengqiu smiled.

For a moment, Deng Tingge felt a certain complex feeling in his heart, like the lightness after learning the answer, but also like a heavier worry.He didn't take a sip of the mangosteen tea in front of him, so he slowly picked it up and poured it into his mouth.There was a light tube hanging at the entrance of the porridge shop, and the light was shining from above Luo Hengqiu's head. He lowered his head again, his expression and eyes could not be seen clearly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there.

Deng Tingge felt that what he was thinking in his heart was regret.Brother is really good-looking, I thought he was good-looking before.Such a great person, why does he like men?
