put on a show

Xing Pei followed Pei Qinghuan's instructions and drove the car to a mountain on the edge of the city. From a distance, the leaves on the mountain were dyed red, yellow and yellow in autumn, which was very beautiful.But before it got close, the car couldn't drive in.

The two got out of the car, walked along a concrete road for a while, and finally reached the foot of the mountain.The mountain is not high, and it is only when we get to the front that there is a narrow stone ladder among the shadows of trees.Pei Qing went up the stairs, and Xing Pei followed behind him.In late autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is very good, and it is not too cold, but the wind coming from the woods is cool, taking a sip is like eating a mint.

Xing Pei thought to himself, thanks to Pei Qing being so considerate, they found such a deserted place, and the two of them can take a stroll around with confidence.Immediately, I felt a little guilty again, as if I had wronged Teacher Pei.He couldn't show up in crowded places, and he couldn't even arrange a perfect date for a while. One aspect was time constraints, and the other was not being able to let the people in the company know. Li Mo was totally incapable of such a task.

"Have you ever been to this place?" Xing Pei asked.

"I used to worship Buddha with my grandma when I was young."

"Worshiping Buddha? It looks like no one has walked this road for a long time." The stone steps are not only narrow, but also have tall weeds on both sides, and some stone steps have cracked in the middle, and grass has grown.

Pei Qing didn't speak any more, and Xing Pei didn't ask any more questions.The two walked quietly one after the other. The air became cooler and more peaceful as they went up. Accompanied by chirping birds, they finally arrived at a deserted temple in the middle of the mountain after half an hour.

Pei Qing also pushed open the wooden door that was about to fall, and waved to Xing Pei: "Come in, be careful."

Stepping into the deserted temple one step at a time, Xing Pei was stunned.In the middle of a small open space, there is a ginkgo tree that can only be surrounded by two people's arms. The huge root of the ginkgo tree has already provided a small stone flower bed. Gorgeous, absolutely beautiful.

"It's so beautiful." Xing Pei took out his mobile phone and took two pictures. Seeing that Pei Qing hadn't spoken yet, he turned to look at him again.

Pei Qing just put his hands in his coat pockets, looked up at the tree blankly, lost in thought.

Xing Pei walked up to him and put his hands on his shoulders: "What are you thinking?"

"I think this tree, in a dilapidated small temple, grows so well and so beautifully."

He didn't even remember seeing this tree when he came to worship Buddha with his long-dead grandma many years ago. At this time, he was amazed at its vitality. In this isolated place, it grew wantonly and was beautiful.

Pei Qing kept his head up slightly, and Xing Pei stared at his profile.Pei Qing has always had a particularly quiet and beautiful temperament, no matter when he was filming or standing here at this moment.He is more like this tall tree, quiet but powerful, and can grow vigorously without looking at him. All his strength comes from his heart, like a tree rooted into the silent earth to absorb nutrients.

Unlike Xing Pei, he chooses to be a star and an idol because he wants to be liked and recognized. He needs thousands of people to cheer for him, to get the crazy obsession and love of fans, and to get unlimited pampering and admiration from others. That's the only way He can feel his own existence and value.He hated the need and couldn't get rid of it.

A gust of wind blows, and the ginkgo leaves swirl and fall down like snowflakes.

Xing Pei thought, Pei Qing is really good, there is no one better and more worthy of love than him.

"Pei, I want to kiss you."

Pei Qing also turned to look at Xing Pei gently, smiled at him, then took his hand and held it, turned around and gently pulled Xing Pei: "Let's go."

Teacher Pei's hands were dry and warm. When holding him, he held them tightly, which made people feel safe.After coming out of the ruined temple, the two continued to walk up the mountain, this time walking more slowly, without separating their hands.

The two tall men held hands like this, walking one after the other, Xing Pei felt warm and a little shy.It turns out that the throbbing, numb fingertips don't come only when kissing and caressing, and that kind of happiness doesn't necessarily only come from skin-to-skin contact.

He didn't know what this was, it was completely different from the love he had imagined, all he could think of was being with Pei Qing in bed, and he never thought of climbing a mountain hand in hand with him like this.

Ever since Xing Pei finished saying that he wanted to pursue him, everything between them has been put in slow motion, and every moment of getting along, words, and deeds, and every disorder of heartbeat can be clearly felt .

Xing Pei felt that he fell in love with Pei Qinghuan again and again, the last time the liking had not faded, and the next time he fell in love with him because of some new things.This kind of emotion slowly superimposed, almost made him unable to extricate himself.

They reached the top of the mountain together, found a large open rock and stood there, blowing the cool breeze on the top of the mountain for a while, and then walked down the mountain slowly together.

For Xing Pei, time is really money, but he is very happy to "waste" the time like now, doing something completely purposeless and meaningless, and still being with Pei Qing.

The sun had already set when going down the mountain. When the two returned to the car, they were silent for a while, as if they had packed up the quiet and beautiful experience just now.After getting on the highway, Xing Peicai said, ""The Piano Teacher" will be released soon, will you go to the premiere next Sunday?"

"I am also obliged to cooperate with the film promotion."

"Tsk, I just don't want to go." Seeing his embarrassment, Xing Pei's heart softened, "If you don't want to go, don't go. Anyway, no one noticed you when I went."

Pei Qing also smiled: "That makes sense."

Back in the city, when Xing Pei drove past a flower shop, he hugged another large bouquet of roses, hurried back to the car and stuffed them into Pei Qinghuan's arms.

Xing Pei sent Pei Qing downstairs, watched Pei Qing get off the car, and watched him go home.This time he didn't cheat and ask for a kiss, he was quite satisfied today, and he also tried to slow down at Teacher Pei's pace.

In the second week, Xing Pei didn't go to Pei's house to practice piano, and Pei's father made several aggressive phone calls. Only then did Li Mo receive that Xing Pei was busy and couldn't go today. Before the old man lost his temper, Li Mo had to hang up the phone in a hurry .

And Pei Qing had been waiting for him in the coffee shop until two o'clock last time, and he sent a message without replying. He got up and went home only to find out that Xing Pei didn't come today.

He guessed it just now, after all, the premiere is tomorrow.Chen Yali urged him to go to the event, but Pei Qing refused. The strange thing is that the manager didn't force him either.To say that he had foreseen this situation of being released by Xing Pei, but he was still a little disappointed at this time.

It wasn't until night that he received a call from Xing Pei before going to bed, saying that he had seen his text message, but he was too busy today, so he didn't have time to reply.There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, obviously Xing Pei was still busy, and he just said a few words in a hurry before hanging up.

Pei Qing tossed and turned on the bed for a while, then overturned his previous thoughts.He can see that Xing Pei has made some efforts, but this effort is still far from what he needs. He doesn't know if Xing Pei can give more.

"The Piano Teacher" was released, and I often saw large posters of him and Xing Pei on the street—the one where he was sitting on the piano bench and Xing Pei was leaning on the piano and looking at each other.

Pei Qing also didn't pay much attention to box office reputation, his task was to shoot, as for the others, he was neither interested nor able to do anything.On the contrary, Luo Jia often sent him messages and screenshots, giving feedback on the situation after the movie was released.

Generally speaking, the reputation of the film is very good, especially Xing Pei's acting skills have been greatly affirmed this time.But the box office was not as optimistic as expected.It may be that the filming is too delicate, the whole film has tended to the tone of a literary film, and the emotions are mostly depressing and dull, and it is not a subject that the public likes.Even among Xing Pei's own fan base, quite a few of them don't like their idols making gay films.

Xing Pei made some decisions about the organization, planning and casting of the film, and some of the decisions were different from the effects he expected. Although the company's top management didn't say anything for the time being, Xing Pei himself was under a lot of pressure.After the release, the box office was mediocre. In order to reverse this situation, Xing Pei immediately decided to go to theater roadshows in major cities.

The road show is quite hard, not to mention running back and forth, but also face-to-face communication with media audiences and fans in theaters.Sometimes he has to travel to two or three cities a day, go to many theaters, talk a lot, smile until his facial muscles become stiff, and often when he returns to the hotel, it is already midnight before he has time to turn on his phone to see what kind of messages Pei Qing has sent him. message, he replied two more.Sometimes he feels wronged by Teacher Pei, and sometimes he feels wronged by himself. Maybe after this busy period is over, he will take some time to fulfill his promise to pursue Teacher Pei.

--

This morning, not long after Pei Qing woke up, while eating breakfast and listening to the news, he suddenly received a call from Chen Yali.

On the phone, Chen Yali was in a hurry: "I sent you a video link, you can open it now and give me an explanation."

"what happened?"

"Look quickly."

Pei Qing immediately clicked on the link, and the sound startled him, loud and sharp music.In the process of turning down the volume, he has already seen him and Xing Pei from this blurry short video, and saw a kiss they borrowed to show the camera on the runway of the final celebration party, to be precise It was he who kissed Xing Pei's face.

It was very short, less than ten seconds, without cause and effect, but he kissed Xing Pei, and he could make infinite interpretations.

Over there, Chen Yali guessed that he had finished reading, and then asked, "What happened at that time?"

"At the film's celebration party, everyone drank too much. Xing Pei and I sang on stage, and the people below booed."

"So you really kissed him?" Chen Yali obviously felt incredible, Pei Qing is not such a careless person.

"No, it's just a borrowing."

"Ask someone present to see who took the full video."

"In that kind of occasion, everyone probably wouldn't shoot a video."

Chen Yali on the other end of the phone was a little annoyed: "Then how did the video posted on the Internet come out?" She took a breath and tried to calm herself down, "Now the interpretation of this clip by netizens is not good for you, you can call Ask if anyone has the full video at that time, even if you know that it was a group of drunkards who made a fuss, it would be better."

"Honestly speaking, I suspect that it is a moth made by Tianbao Entertainment. The movie's income is mediocre, and I want to use this to stir up topics to boost the box office. But I want to trample you to death as the price, and I will be the first to refuse. You go ask I asked the people who were present at the time, and I also went to the person in charge of Tianbao to seek justice, they are too wicked." Chen Yali became even more angry when she talked about her artist being scammed.
