Yu He and Qingcheng Xie explained this several times after the lesson oops.

But Qingcheng Xie's father is too heavy, and is a professor, other nonsense can be forgiven, but this incident is the only thing he can not let go. After some days, Qingcheng Xie is also not very willing to deal with him.

It's one thing to adjust your mind for Yu He, it's another thing for Yu He to mess with him. Qingcheng Xie minefield was stepped on, not to give each other some color is not likely to happen.

The sky is watching, and the opportunity to give color is coming soon.

On this day, Xue Xie made a phone call to Qingcheng Xie.

"Brother, Huzhou University and Medical University are having a centennial celebration, do you know about it?"

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, one of the activities, is that our two schools jointly produce a film, not online kind of la, will be put on the campus network, will also organize a joint viewing."

Seeing that his brother did not interrupt him, Xue Xie chattered on: "Although it was just a practice work for fun, but because of the centennial of Huzhou University and Medical University, the university paid a lot of attention to it and gave a lot of funds for our teachers to organize students of related majors to do a good job. I think this is a rare opportunity. I think this is a very rare opportunity, and I have already started writing the script in earnest. Will you be the medical director?"

Qingcheng Xie was not interested in this matter, but because it was Xue Xie who opened the door, he said, "Send me the proposal, I will take a look."

"Ohhhhhhhh yeah! Definitely oh! You're going to give me a shout out!"

Not long after hanging up the phone, Xue Xie sent him a complete planning document. The students and faculty of Huzhou University already had a general direction for the film, and because they wanted to interact with Medical University next door, they tentatively titled the film "A Hundred Diseases", a unit drama about the experiences of various patients and marginalized people in society.

Qingcheng Xie was sitting in his office, drinking a cup of chai, when he opened the file and skimmed through it. He found that the production required a lot of actors, and Xue Xie had already marked on the file some of the roles that the students had signed up for, but there were still about ten vacancies left.

As a rule, students will be more interested in this kind of hilarious drama performance, can have a role left, it is estimated that all because not very likeable.

He looked at it and it was right.

Among those unclaimed roles are caregivers who bring shit and urine to patients, pregnant women who have intense pregnancy reactions, and gay men who have intimate interactions with their rivals.

With Huzhou University's attitude, even if it is a practice shoot, as long as it will be kept on file at the school, students will be required to portray the real thing, meaning that if they play a caregiver, they will really have to pour shit and urine, if they play a pregnant woman, they will really have to throw up, and if they play a homosexual, they will really have to kiss and hug. In addition, this time it is the centennial birthday of the two schools, it is even more impossible to put water.

If no one signs up for these tricky roles, they all end up having to be captured.

Qingcheng Xie carefully read the planning case, remembered Yu He to their own classroom that operation, can not help but slightly narrowed his eyes ...... he thought for a moment, picked up the phone to dial back Xue Xie's number.

"I finished reading your email."

He leaned back in his office chair, spinning his pencil, and said slowly.

"I can go as a medical director, but there is one requirement."

"What request? Brother, just say it!"

Qingcheng Xie's peach blossom eyes reflect the short biography of a gay character resting on the screen.

His eyes indifferently swept over a string of text that took up the entire page of the PowerPoint: "I think there is a role that Yu He can try."

Although Xue Xie for Qingcheng Xie this "bring people into the group" behavior is confused, but Yu He is originally a student of related majors, before and save the scene to take a small broken drama, and handsome, this kind of person although now studying choreography, the future is when the stage or do behind the scenes are not known.

Xue Xie thought about it, probably because his brother and Yu He have a good relationship, after all, since he grew up seeing the child, perhaps his brother wanted to give the child a chance to exercise, so he readily agreed to Qingcheng Xie's request.

Yu He couldn't refuse the teacher's offer, so a few days later, Yu He came to the rehearsal group of the unit drama "A Hundred Sicknesses" after the evening study.

He will rehearse one of the plays, "Sick Love," a play unit that responds to the current state of gay existence.

When Qingcheng Xie walked over, Yu He and the other lead actor were playing opposite each other.

Yu He was originally a freshman, and not an acting major, usually do not have to go to the morning work, also did not take too many acting classes, although the previous in the grass-roots drama to save the scene to play the fifth male, but that role itself and he has a resonance, so the role is quite easy. Now that he has been given a gay role, he has been tortured.

Qingcheng Xie leaned on the side and watched for a while - compared to the acting he saw in the previous visit in Hangzhou, Yu He's performance level was a precipitous decline.

No, it is polite to say that a precipitous decline, it is accurate to say that the Great East African Rift Valley decline.

He played what is ah, the stage book is written a male lead and same-sex couple secret and sweet private dating, the two have to show young love and lust, the result Qingcheng Xie watch half a day, did not see Yu He's performance in love, AI acting are better than him.

"How much do you love me? What would you give up for me?" The rival boy was well qualified and acted with deep emotion, asking around Yu He's neck.

Yu He said lightly, "Love you so much, I can give up anything you want."

"Then you look me in the eye."

"......"

The next scene should be Yu He gazed at his first love for a long time, and suddenly love raged, could not help but lower his head and kissed each other.

However, Yu He stared at the boy for a while, the expression is ugly, where the other party is like his first love, is simply his father's enemy.

"Brother, kiss me." The boy wrapped his arms around his neck, because it was walking the scene, do not have to pay special attention to coherence, so he saw Yu He indifferent not move, so he shook his arm softly said.

He did not soft voice is fine, a small voice put soft, Yu He completely can not be tensed, a push him away, pale face asked the director: "Sorry, can I borrow a seat?"

The person in charge of this unit is a second-year student of the directing major, a particularly cool sister, she ruthlessly shook her head: "Others can negotiate, but I can't here, I wrote clearly when I reported the actor requirements, my play does not accept the borrowed position."

Yu He : "......"

"But now it's just a walking scene, you don't have to let him really kiss." The director of the school turned to the boy again, "And you, you do not push too hard, you have to let people Shao He overcome a little psychological problems, is not it? After all, he is not you, you are the famous faggot of our school, he is the famous straight man of our school."

The boy was called queer kinda happy, he is not the same as the kind of hiding gay, but too extreme, that all people must accept LGBT, or they should open the coffin of history to the heretics are sealed in to the old Buddha Cixi buried with.

Yu He is a relatively restrained person, he is homophobic, but will not say it directly, the young boys think he is also the type that can be bent, acting with enthusiasm.

So Qingcheng Xie bullied Yu He and deliberately asked Yu He to play this role, also to beat the snake to the seventh inch. He looked at Yu He as if he was seasick and his face was almost as blue as a sour plum in May, and he finally felt better...

Yu He was very good when he was young, but since they reunited, Yu He's heart and height went up together, and he no longer takes him seriously and dares to compete with him.

Until now, Qingcheng Xie sneered at his helplessness and finally recovered the feeling of having crushed him.

He thought so, spare a serious and cold face, the angles can not help but some softened.

That's pretty funny.

"Yo, Professor Xie." The director saw that the medical director of "A Hundred Diseases and Life" had arrived, and it was just the right time to take an intermission and give Yu He time to adjust, so he talked to Qingcheng Xie.

" Yu He is really bad, he is so bad in this role."

"Yeah."

"Ugh, you want to talk to him, you give him a talk about the gay community is the same as normal people, that love well, what is the difference? You see him acting just like a dead person, I really can not stand ......"

Qingcheng Xie lit a cigarette and said, "Then call him over."

He said, too noisy for this place, and went to wait behind the stage curtain in the rehearsal room.

After a while, the blue-faced Yu He swiped the curtain and came in, the red velvet mantle fluttering behind him. The place is covered by the curtain, no one else, he came in and thumped Qingcheng Xie towards the wall, the force used is very fierce, Qingcheng Xie finger cigarette touched the ash, the whole person was pressed tightly to the cold wall.

" Qingcheng Xie , do you want me to get you killed."

Qingcheng Xie is also very tall, being pressed by Yu He, but does not look vulnerable.

His peachy eyes surveyed Yu He indifferently : "I told you that you should learn to be calm in any situation."

"......"

A soft sarcasm tinged with tobacco smells, smoldering between their breaths, Qingcheng Xie whispers, "You don't understand, do you?"

"......"

"Let go of me."

After a few seconds, Yu He thought he couldn't really choke him to death and pushed Qingcheng Xie hard.

"You know I hate gays and you still let me act."

"What." Qingcheng Xie raised his hand to bite the cigarette, from Yu He this angle, you can faintly see his fine white teeth, "You can't even overcome this emotion, what else to talk about."

"You're holding a personal grudge."

Qingcheng Xie laughed, somewhat mockingly: "Then even if it is. What can you do to me at ......?"

"......"

"Go on and act well." Qingcheng Xie raised his hand to straighten Yu He's collar, and behind the dim curtain, he raised his eyes to look leisurely at the youth he had tossed around.

"I'm very high on you."

"-- Yu He , back! It's starting!" The director was shouting outside.

Yu He stared at Qingcheng Xie for a while.

"Just you wait."

Qingcheng Xie said carelessly, "Go ahead."

Yu He went out again with a sullen face.

Rehearsals began once again.

This time it's even worse. Yu He looked like he was seasick before, but now he looks like he's seasick, the kind that's killing him. The more the boy pestered him, the more he tried to bring him into the scene, the more fierce his resistance became. It's like a cow doesn't eat grass and presses its head.

The next time, Yu He and the boys played the episode a few more times, but Yu He's performance was so bad that he could list no less than ten mistakes in the interpretation of each line and each action, none of which passed without a hitch.

The cool director shouted once again: "Cut! Then he rolled up the script and cursed at Yu He: "Ancestor! What are you, a robot? Can you be a little more relaxed in your body movements! Don't act like you're about to be raped, okay? You love him! You love him so much! He's your first love, you're 15 years old, you're naive, you're reckless, you think the future is bright, you're full of courage to fight against the whole society, do you understand this kind of feelings or not? Brother! It's the fifth time! Can you walk away from the heart ah!"

Thanks to Yu He's good temper in the eyes of the public, that kind of anti-social personality did not come out in the open, everyone thinks he is a good student top ten model, so they dare to be so nasty to him.

But Yu He also really does not have the strength of mind to hold a grudge against his sister, he is almost driven to morbidity by the overly hot and sincere eyes of boys.

The first card, he let her scold, he raised his hand to cover his forehead, pressed the sudden jump of Solar Plexus, walked in place a few turns to calm the mood.

When he saw Qingcheng Xie in a circle, he was so angry that he almost didn't pounce on the culprit, who was leaning against the wall with his legs folded, to strangle him alive.

Qingcheng Xie smiled coldly at him, looked down and took out his cell phone, and did the same thing to him. So after three seconds, the phone in Yu He's pocket vibrated.

"...... Sorry director, I have a message, I'll read it before I start."

"Hurry up and watch! You're so bad at acting and you're so nosy!"

Yu He clicked on the message Qingcheng Xie had just sent him in full view of the public.

You have a message from your "godfather".

"Godfather" is Yu He's note to Qingcheng Xie, because he thinks he is too much like a feudal elder, sometimes more than his own father.

Qingcheng Xie : Very dedicated, I'm waiting to see your kiss scene.

Yu He's expression instantly turned cold to the extreme, which startled the girl next to him: "What's wrong?"

Qingcheng Xie turned his head and pursed the corners of his mouth, looking cold and quiet, as if Yu He was mad and he had nothing to do with it.

Yu He slowed down the breath, almond eyes unblinking dead stare at Qingcheng Xie, the gaze as if to Qingcheng Xie pressed hard and then nailed through the wall: "...... all right."

Just then, her characteristic loud voice came from the school director's side: "Huh? Really? Does that make sense?"

The crowd managed to get the director's attention, and it turned out that the actor's director went over and said something to her, and she was surprised, sizing up the other person in disbelief.

But this schoolmate at least respects her seniors, she hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "That's fine, it's okay to try, just do as you say. His acting is bad enough anyway."

The director waved at Yu He from afar, "Come here, buddy!"

Yu He asked himself, he has lived for nearly twenty years without fear of anything, but she beckoned, he actually a little reluctant to go forward.

Qingcheng Xie crossed his long legs and sat on the chair with an indifferent face, urging with his mouth: "Go."

Yu He had no choice but to say, "You're dead! Wait for me!" He gave Qingcheng Xie a hard stare and then walked towards the director's side like a torture chamber.

Who expected the director's lips opened, lightly dropped a few words that no one expected: " Yu He, you change the opponent first try."

Yu He was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Change of opponent?"

"Right." The director replied with a small wave of her hand, not very patient. She saw Yu He's rival boy also shocked to protest, not waiting for him to speak, immediately reassured, "just a temporary change, you take it easy, quiet, there was not much time left tonight."

Then he continued to Yu He: "You can pick anyone in the audience, just pull any dog or cat that you like. I'll give you time to communicate and perform a short piece to see how it works."

Yu He was first unsure, but then he realized what was going on and narrowed his eyes, then slowly turned his head back, licking the roots of his teeth as he turned back, grinning without even hiding his tiger teeth.

"No need to pick the director."

He looked at Qingcheng Xie, who was still in a good mood and leaning against the wall watching the show, and smiled:

"It's just him."

Director: "...... You want to play opposite our medical director?"

"No?"

The director looked embarrassed and whispered to Yu He, "You can change it, he is not from our school, and he is such a famous professor, it is not easy to do.

"I don't feel anything for the others. I just like him a little bit." Yu He said gently, "Sister, please let me try with him."

The cool sister director fierce to fierce, after all, is still a straight woman of steel, by the handsome man such a soft voice of a coax, it is difficult not to shake.

"That, that's fine ...... then I'll go talk to him ......"

"No need. I know him, I'll just go talk to him." Yu He smiled, and people were already walking towards Qingcheng Xie.

Qingcheng Xie has vaguely heard their conversation, his face is subtle as he watches Yu He walk towards him. Yu He is very polite in front of outsiders, very gentlemanly to shake Qingcheng Xie's hand, and bring him behind the curtain of no one.

As soon as the red tent fell, the gentleman's face changed.

From gentle and elegant, become defeated rogue.

Yu He leaned over in the tumble of the red tent, pressed against Qingcheng Xie's neck, and murmured softly, "Professor Xie, have you ever thought that there is another kind of retribution in this world, called present retribution?"
