Mr. Chu

The Patriarch of the Chu family encountered an incident, which was not considered a major event.

The people under him told him that he had a distant relative, all of them died, leaving only one boy, helpless, very poor, no one is willing to take over now.

They said these words, of course, not to hope that Lord Yan would show kindness, but they knew that the Patriarch of the Chu family had a son who was very lonely, and who happened to be about the same age as that boy.

If you want to choose a playmate, this is really the best, because you are young, there is no burden, and it is easy to brainwash, so you don't have to worry about having unruly intentions.

That boy is said to be very obedient and well-behaved. He should know how to abide by his duties and not make trouble.

The Patriarch of the Chu family thought about his increasingly withdrawn son, and felt for the first time that it might be better if he could find a playmate for him.

So the child named Gu Yang was sent over.

He is only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is very thin, with beautiful features, and his expression is docile and quiet. It seems that because his mother died early and his father disappeared, he is very quiet and doesn't talk much. What do you ask him to do? , and will not resist.

The Patriarch of the Chu family saw him and thought he was not bad. His eyes are very poisonous and he can see people very clearly. Such a child who has been smoothed by life and destiny will not have any bad or rebellious thoughts Yes, it is just right for his son who is sharp like a sharp sword, very indifferent and thoughtful.Even if they can't get along, it won't take much effort to send such a helpless child away.

So, he took Gu Yang home and told him that he would live here from now on.

His wife, Mrs. Chu, has never cared much about these family affairs, let alone picked up a strange distant relative's child back to live, even if her husband told her that this was his illegitimate child, she would not necessarily raise her eyebrows. She is a very indifferent and aloof person, when she saw Gu Yang, she just nodded her head lightly and didn't take it seriously.

The attitude of the master will generally affect the attitude of the servants, but the rules of the Chu family are very strict, and no one shows it. The head of the Chu family said hello and left, continuing to work.It is the old butler who really handles Gu Yang's life and brings him to settle down here.

The housekeeper was very kind, and told him about the master's schedule, what to do and what not to do, and said, the young master went to school, and he would come back for dinner on Sunday night.

Gu Yang listened quietly, remembered it in his heart, and then thanked him.

He really behaved very well-behaved and quiet, he didn't look like crying at all, didn't say anything, but did everything he should do. The housekeeper got along with him a lot, and couldn't help liking him. The life of a child is a bit bitter.

Gu Yang's room was arranged in a corner. The room closest to him on the same floor was Chu Jinye's room. The housekeeper took him to see it outside. The inside was neatly arranged, and the colors were black and white. It can be seen that he is a very strict person.

This young man, who was about his age, was said by the housekeeper to be a very good heir. He had already learned a lot of languages ​​and skills at a young age, and he was able to take over part of his father's work.

It sounds like he and he are people from two worlds.

Gu Yang looked at that room for a while, then went back to rest in silence.

That Sunday, Chu Jinye really came back.

Wearing a black school uniform with a gold badge shining strongly on his chest, he stepped down from a black Rolls-Royce.He was still young, but his whole body was imposing, handsome and pale, exactly like his father, unsmiling and not talkative.

The rules of the Chu family are to have dinner together at night, so Gu Yang was brought to the dinner table. The head of the Chu family introduced to Chu Jinye that this is your brother from afar, and he will live with you in the future.

Chu Jinye's reaction was quite indifferent.

His first impression of Gu Yang was not good, or in other words, it wasn't because of the bad boy, but because he didn't care about his father's behavior.

Now, he is in the most rebellious time, and he feels that his father and his mother are very indifferent and selfish people. In the house, when I remembered, I threw something to express my concern. Last time it was a dog, but this time it turned out to be a person.

Worse than a dog.

He glanced at Gu Yang indifferently, and the other party lowered his eyes quietly under his gaze, Chu Jinye became even more dull, and didn't want to say a word.

On the long white dining table, these four people sat far apart, each eating what was in front of each other, and the silver knives and forks slid across the white porcelain plate without any sound at all. Everyone's etiquette is a perfect etiquette model, without any mistakes.

Gu Yang sat on his seat, quietly cutting the steak on the plate, he looked at everything on the table from the corner of his eye, in this overly quiet atmosphere, he sighed silently in his heart.

When Chu came back tonight, it happened that their school was on holiday, so he stayed at home and was busy with many things. Gu Yang was also at home. It stands to reason that they should have a lot of communication, but they really didn't. The former didn't want to talk to his father. The person sent is too familiar and talks too much, but the latter doesn't know what to do, so he doesn't do it.

The first time they spoke was because of William.

This dog that Chu Jinye raises is actually very fierce, and he likes to bark at people.When you see strangers, you jump on them.Once, when Gu Yang passed by the garden, William saw this strange face, so he rushed up and threw him to the ground!

The boy fell to the ground, and the books in his hands were scattered all over the place. As soon as Chu Jinye came out, he saw such a scene.

He immediately scolded: "William! Come back!"

The dog relentlessly stopped and ran towards him.He ran to his feet, twirling around his trouser legs fawningly.

Chu Jinye stared at it coldly, but stretched out his hand to stroke its head, then looked at Gu Yang, and asked lightly, "How are you?"

The young man slowly sat up from the ground. He had long hair that fell down, covering a small half of his face, making it difficult for people to see the expression on his face. He was covering his arms, as if he had scratched himself on the ground Yes, some skin is broken.

Gu Yang slowly raised his eyes, met the indifferent black eyes of the young man, fell silent for a moment, and said softly: "It's okay, it's nothing serious."

"Call the family doctor to look at it for you."

"OK, thanks."

Chu Jinye frowned imperceptibly in his heart. In his opinion, this was not something that needed an apology.Gu Yang's performance didn't mean that he cared about it - of course, it's useless for him to care. Anyway, the boy didn't want to talk anymore, so he was about to leave. Before he left, he accidentally glanced at the other party Books falling on the floor.

He was slightly taken aback.

"The Lover by Duras? Are you watching this?"

Gu Yang followed his gaze, and when he saw the cover of the book, he was startled for a moment, and said, "Yes, I wanted to take a look, so I took it from the library."

Chu Jinye has also read this book. He has a strange contempt for the feelings of women and men in the book. I don’t know why. Anyway, this book has left a mark on his heart. This book was bought by him.

He felt a little strange for a while, but his expression became colder. He pressed the barking William, and then said to Gu Yang: "It always runs around, and it is easy to hurt people. If you don't want to be attacked, you'd better Don't go out."

Gu Yang pursed his lips, nodded quietly, said nothing, Chu Jinye had nothing to say, and left, he walked into the room, and looked down when he went up the stairs, the other party was still standing there , did not move.

After a period of time, Chu Jinye really didn't see Gu Yang again, it's really strange, there are more people in the family, it seems like there is no one.

One night, he stayed up late and came back from studying at the company until very late. When he came back, the house was quiet. He went upstairs and happened to meet Gu Yang coming out of the room. When they met, both of them were stunned.

It was Gu Yang who came to his senses first, saw that he was holding a briefcase in his hand, and greeted him politely, before going back to the room.

The lights in his room were still on, and it was also late.

"Wait." Chu Jinye called to stop him and asked, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

The boy turned around, smiled at him, raised the book in his hand, and walked back to the room like a ghost.

The lights went out quickly.

Chu Jinye stood in the corridor for a while, and then returned to his room. After waking up the next day, he asked the housekeeper what Gu Yang was doing these days, and why he had never seen anyone before.

The housekeeper said that after that day, he didn't go out very much, and kept reading in the room, sometimes very late, did he disturb you, young master?

"...No." Chu Jinye said, "I just asked."

He suddenly wasn't sure if it was because his manner of speaking was too impolite that the other party didn't even leave the room, but just stayed inside, living like a ghost.

If it was true, he didn't even know how to describe it.

After the holiday, the school reopened, and the head of the Chu family arranged Gu Yang to Chu Jinye's school. There were many rich and powerful children in that junior high school, and ordinary children were very sad, not to mention that Gu Yang was one year younger than Chu Jinye. Not in the same grade.

But these things, big people don't have time to think about them, they are only responsible for giving orders, how to complete it is your own business, Chu Jinye knows, and there will be no big reaction.

That day, when he went downstairs, Gu Yang sat downstairs, which was rare, wearing the same black school uniform as him, with long hair hanging smoothly on his shoulders, with beautiful and dignified features, like a good-looking little girl.

That set of serious and square black school uniform made him inexplicably gentle. He is a good-looking kid, which is obvious.

Chu Jinye just looked over like this. For a moment, he felt a little dazed. He was also wearing that school uniform. On the whole, he seemed to be Gu Yang's brother, and he was very closely connected.

Seeing him, Gu Yang gave him a slight smile, and greeted him, "Hello."

He is actually quite good-looking, not the type who looks amazing at first glance, but he is very good-looking, and his temperament should be considered gentle and good, but he has a unique, ethereal and fragile feeling.

Chu Jinye frowned slightly in his heart, and nodded slightly on his face.

When they went to school together by car, the two of them didn't talk much in the car. When they were about to arrive, Chu Jinye said: "If someone bullies you, tell him that you are from the Chu family, or come here Find me."

His voice was not loud, but very clear. Gu Yang heard it, startled slightly, and raised his eyes to look at him, but the young man pursed his lips and turned his face away, as if he didn't want to continue to say it a second time.

Then he heard him say, "Thank you."

I don't know if I really understand it.

Later, in school, Chu Jinye also met Gu Yang a few times. The latter's school life was neither good nor bad. Who can associate with, who should be treated carefully, Gu Yang's family situation, well-informed, they can figure it out clearly from the very beginning. Their education is different, and it is difficult to blend in with each other when speaking and doing things.

It's not bad, but it's because these children are all educated, it's impossible to really show everything on their faces, say excessive and rude words, and boss them around, that's very uneducated.What's more, Gu Yang is a member of the Chu family. In this circle, there is naturally some fear of the Chu family.

The mixture of the two emotions resulted in the teenager being relatively lonely in class and school, with no one making things difficult for him, and no one getting along well with him.

However, he personally doesn't seem to care about these things, and he is slowly catching up with his academic performance at his own frequency. At other times, Chu can always see him sitting by the window in the library tonight, with a A book, one person reads quietly.

Very happy.

In his eyes, this kind of attitude is really weird, and he can't explain the source of the weirdness. Logically speaking, Gu Yang should run after him, but if he really did that, Chu Jinye would indeed I was very annoyed, what might happen, but the distance now is just right.

They go to school together and go back together every day. Although they don't talk much, but after a long time, in the eyes of others, this is quite close. After all, the Chu family is famous for being impersonal, and the father and son are also polite. Yes, it doesn't mean that the relationship is any better.

So, some people were moved and thought about getting close to Gu Yang to see if they could get on the line of the Chu family. To their surprise, this very neglected child, when faced with other people's overtures, , and there was no particularly large reaction.

Just don't move, don't care, just smile lightly, and politely decline many invitations.

When you talk about him in a weird way, it’s like he didn’t hear it, he doesn’t care, he doesn’t respond, you smile all over your face, and you praise him in a good voice, he still acts like nothing happened, doesn’t respond, with a very Politely distance yourself and keep these candies away.

Over time, people feel bored and leave.

Gu Yang was still alone.

They all thought he was weird.

Later, Chu Jinye knew all about it. Once when he was returning home, he rarely took the initiative to ask: "Why don't you hang out with your classmates?"

Gu Yang was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, when he heard him speak, he slowly turned his head to look at him, a little surprised, because even if they go home together every day, in the car, they can still say a word. They don't talk about it.Chu didn't speak tonight, and Gu Yang never took the initiative to speak.

"...It's not necessary." The boy replied: "They and I are not in the same circle, and they didn't invite me very sincerely. If you don't know them, it doesn't matter whether I go or not."

What he said was actually very straightforward, but it was right.

Those who invited him were just looking at the Chu family and his connection with Chu Jinye. If this friendship cannot get some benefits from the Chu family, then it is really meaningless.

However, even knowing this, not all people can refuse this poisonous candy when they have no friends and are always lonely.At least Chu Jinye did not expect that Gu Yang would see it so clearly.

He couldn't help but look at the other party again, facing those big black, clear and clean eyes.

Chu Jinye's heart trembled a little, very lightly.

He always felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have a kind of indifference and calm isolated from the world, so that nothing could really hurt him. His eyes were different from the eyes of all the people he had seen, at least something.

what is it then?

Anyway, the life at school just went on like this, and Gu Yang's grades stabilized at a good level. Apart from his homework, he often went to the library to read, and no one came to disturb him. At home, most of the time, other people are not there, which is fine.

He is very satisfied and happy. In fact, he has always felt that his current life is much better than he expected. He has never been a person with great desires. If you give him too much, he will not be able to bear it. .

That's fine.

One day later, at school, Gu Yang was holding the book he had just borrowed and was about to go back to the classroom. He accidentally passed by the dance studio, and through the glass window, he could see someone rehearsing.

He couldn't help but stopped and looked in from the window.

It was the art troupe of the school. It was rehearsing an important play and would participate in a great competition. There was a girl and a boy in gorgeous costumes in the classroom, and there were a few people in civilian clothes beside them, advising them. Pointing and exchanging some opinions, the girl seemed to have been wronged a lot, her eyes were red.

Gu Yang listened to it, they rehearsed William Shakespeare's classic, "Romeo and Juliet".

Anyone who is educated has at least heard of this drama. Every year there are classic performances in major theaters. In this school full of talents, there will also be students who want to challenge it. They should be members of the school art troupe , Gu Yang has seen them before, all of them have very beautiful faces, they speak and act very well, and they are also famous people.

He hugged the book and listened to it. For some reason, he was fascinated by it. He heard the trembling voice of the girl recite the lines over and over again. As he listened, his brows frowned. , and with her, also read the lines.

"Romeo... why are you Romeo..."

With tears all over her face, Juliet questioned her own heart with fear, sadness, and even more desperate love. She wanted to deny this fact. How could she fall in love with a man from a hostile family? What is controlled is something she cannot restrain.

"You are... Romeo..."

wrong!

The tone of the girl's voice made Gu Yang frown. These words should be resigned to fate, and they still love the sweetness and pain after knowing the identity of a lover, but her performance and voice are like crying, Nothing serious, just accusation.

This is not right.

Sure enough, the head of the art troupe immediately interrupted her and taught her a severe lesson. He was a young and handsome boy, and he spoke very rudely. ran away crying.

When she rushed out, she bumped into Gu Yang and almost knocked him down. The member of the art troupe who ran after her was embarrassed, and asked the junior, "Are you okay? I'm sorry."

Gu Yang came back to his senses, shook his head, and left.

After a few days, he learned from the chats among his classmates that the head of the art troupe was called Wei Yu, who was a year higher than him, and was in the same class as Chu Jinye. He was talented and had a bad temper.Because the Wei family is very powerful and spoiled his youngest son, he is also a character who walks sideways at school, and he likes to talk about his girlfriend mercilessly. The girl who was scolded for crying that day also joined the art troupe with this idea Who knew that Wei Yu would be so merciless during training, not giving any face.

Now, it's time to switch corners again.

Gu Yang listened, and didn't know why he cared so much about these things. He was out of class that day, and when he passed by the dance studio, he found that there was no one there, but the door of the room was open.

By coincidence, he walked in, and the theater costumes of that day were still on the chair, gorgeous and dazzling, and the script was thrown on the ground, which was Romeo and Juliet.

He picked up the script and read: "I...want to dance with you..."

Naturally, without any preparation, he entered the role of Romeo, personable, handsome, and fell in love with the girl he met at the ball at first sight. He read Juliet's lines again, and became her again. The handsome young man, his heart beat like a drum, and the deer bumped wildly.

He read those lines repeatedly, got addicted to it unconsciously, and couldn't help directing and acting. After a long time, he didn't realize that he was out of control until the bell rang for the end of class. on the chair.

Then he walked out of the classroom and left in a hurry.

That day, when Wei Yu came, he was very upset, because he had been rehearsing the play for half a month, and the heroine refused to do it, so what the hell could he do, even though he knew that the other party was just waiting for him to apologize , wanting to step down a step, but he's fucking unwilling!

The proud son of heaven, why do you bow your head to others? It's because you didn't act well, and you blame me for talking too hard?What are you?

When he entered the classroom, he found that something had been moved, and he couldn't help but feel even more annoyed. He thought it was someone who didn't count, so I insisted on opening the video to see!

There are cameras in the classroom, Gu Yang doesn't know about this.

Wei Yu turned on the computer, watched today's video, and found that he was a student, not a member of the regiment, so he was not interested. He was about to turn off the computer when he heard a very clear voice from the speaker: "...Romeo, I'm Juliet."

His movements stopped.

The high-definition camera perfectly recorded the process of the boy talking to himself and performing himself. He obviously didn't wear a costume or a wig, and he played two roles by himself, but...

That smile, that look, that gesture...

Wei Yu's eyes slowly widened. At this moment, a member of the club came in and saw Gu Yang raised his face on the screen, smiled slightly, and said, "Romeo, I love you."

He was startled at first, and after realizing it, he whistled, and said, "Isn't this... Chu Jinye, his brother?"

Wei Yu turned his head slowly, looked at him, and asked, "You know him?"

"Uh... I remember, it's called... Gu Yang, a sophomore."

The head of the art troupe stood up without saying anything.

"Take me to find him."

"?What's wrong?"

"He's what I'm looking for, Juliet."

Gu Yang was found in the library.

After hearing the meaning of the visitors, he was also a little embarrassed, because he didn't expect to be discovered, and he was a little surprised by their intentions.

but……

"I'm sorry, I'm rude, but I'm not professionally trained and may not be competent."

"It doesn't matter." Wei Yu replied quickly, he stared into the boy's eyes, the more he liked it, "We have a special teacher to teach you, and we can send you to the theater to study, you just need to cooperate , okay? I really like your performance."

His attitude was really sincere, Gu Yang hesitated for a moment, and agreed.

After that, he spent a lot of time in the troupe. Wei Yu opened the door to a new world for him, and he came into contact with a wonderful and incredible world of acting.

He is full of interest in those lines, those expressions, those body language, and stage effects, which seem to be something that has never been heard before, but it is indeed fascinating.

Even in Chu's house, he couldn't help but want to practice. He didn't need anyone to urge him to indulge in it consciously.

Chu Jinye didn't know about this yet, Gu Yang kept silent, and he was relatively busy, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

The first to be discovered was a person that no one had thought of.

That day, Mrs. Chu went to a banquet, and halfway through the banquet, she became tired of those conversations that hid the knife in the smile and the needle in the cotton. In addition, she had a slight headache. These two points made her very unhappy.

She said goodbye in advance because she was unwell, and was going to go to a SPA beauty treatment, but when she made an appointment, she got the news that the beautician who had been serving her was sick today and could not come.

The plan was disrupted, and Mrs. Chu was in no mood to continue. She ordered the driver to drive home. On the way, she stared at the busy traffic outside the window. What she looked at was the south.

That's where her natal family lives.

It's been a long, long time since they have been in touch, and she can't even remember what her father looks like.

This realization made her even more irritable and even more headache. She walked into the empty home and collapsed on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what she should do.

Later she thought that she might feel better if she went to the roof of the building to ventilate.

So she wore high heels, and walked up steadily.

She has never been to the top of the building, so she doesn't know that it has become a place for teenagers to practice.

The closer she got, the more she heard that voice.

"...Romeo." Gu Yang said, his expression was unpredictable, with tears in his eyes, he was wearing the simplest white shirt, and he stretched out his hand gracefully into the void: "Beautiful lady, I am Romeo."

Then he turned around again, his hair swaying in the air, his expression became surprised, sweet, and excited, and he replied softly with a female voice: "Hello, Romeo, I'm Juliet."

The wind from the roof was blowing his black hair, his expression was constantly changing, hot and cold, happy and sad, his voice was sweet and moving, like a best narrative poem.

Acting is a strange thing. The actors read the fragments of the characters from the original work, shape them into human form with their own power, and endow them with their own emotions, and perform them wholeheartedly. Those heartbreaking stories and plots are completely It was reflected in his few words, those sorrows and pains gushed out in Gu Yang's love-filled, extraordinarily sweet eyes, in his swaying arms, in his weeping voice, Sweetly calling the two by their names, and placing divine love in their hands, he became grim fate again, ruling the lovers and bringing wrath their families did not understand.Her family told her that you had to leave him and marry another him.

"...Dad, Mom, I love you." He said with tears in his eyes, "But I beg you, please show me some mercy. I don't love that man, and he doesn't love me either. Allowed, even if I don't marry all my life and serve you all the time, I don't want to marry someone I don't love, it will be a kind of torture to me and him."

As he said, he asked the priest for the secret medicine, and pretended to die by taking poison, but Romeo who heard the news believed it was true, so he immediately died by taking poison and dying for love. and died.

"I love love."

"I love my family too."

"If the two cannot coexist, please kill me."

"Ah—" Gu Yang said, "My lover—my home—"

Tears were streaming down his face, he was unconscious of everything around him, he put his arms around himself, hugged himself, said to himself, mama, goodbye, papa, goodbye, Romeo, here I come.

Love is really a strange and unreasonable thing. It seems vulnerable to fate and hatred, like a mantis against a car, a fallen leaf in the wind, suffering in the fate of the storm. However, who can say that it is meaningless , is not right yet.It is above reason, breaks all conventions, and makes those who believe in profit and money tremble uncontrollably. They find it really strange that such intense emotions are possible.

Now, that kind of emotion is flowing in Gu Yang's blood, prompting him to perform exquisite performances, he talks to himself, communicates with himself, he sees the couple, sees their fiery brilliance heart of.He realized the true meaning and principle of an actor, even on a stage with no audience and no applause, you can still dance alone, and hug that person in the imaginary world with a smile.

He hugged them and that was the end of the show.

Gu Yang slowly opened his eyes, his expression was still dazed, because he hadn't fully awakened from this illusory world.Romeo and Juliet, eternally sad love.

But he was quickly woken up.

Because, when he opened his eyes——he met another pair of eyes, which were a woman's, red eyes, which widened violently because of surprise, because other things contained tears.

Those were Madam Chu's eyes.

Gu Yang woke up immediately, and couldn't help taking a step back, his mind quickly started working.He is not familiar with the woman in front of him, and he doesn't know where he offended her—how did she appear here? Could it be that just now, all...

He didn't know how to explain it.

The other party didn't need his explanation.

"It's you." Madam Chu said slowly, "It's you who are performing."

Although her voice was strongly suppressed, there was still uncontrollable choking, and her usual pale and indifferent face was covered with an abnormal blush.

She walked over, step by step, towards the boy, her steps were very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

She wanted to speak, but couldn't.

A tear fell from her face and fell to the ground, splashing water.
