Play bone

The last time I sat side by side with Shen Xingxuan in the theater, it seemed to be in a dream on the night of the car accident.

Lu Li suddenly came to his senses, and he was sure that he was definitely not dreaming this time.

At this moment, he is sitting in seat No.13, row 9 of the South Theater of China Film Academy, and the seat 7 next to him is Shen Xingze.They are only [-] centimeters away from each other, so close enough that many details can be found - for example, the smell on Shen Xingxuan's body has changed.

Lu Li quietly took a deep breath, carefully discerning in the not-so-clean air of the theater.

Now he can be sure that the smell of smoke on Shen Xingxuan's body has disappeared, replaced by a perfume smell with a hint of tobacco.He's quitting, as it should be, and that's a good thing.

But soon, Lu Li began to regret this discovery again.Because the faint smell of tobacco perfume teased his sense of smell, if there was nothing there, it distracted his attention.

I remember when we were students before we broke up for the first time, they used to watch many dramas together.Relying on the darkness around him, Shen Xingze would always hold his hand secretly.In summer, fingers are clasped together, while in winter, they are put directly into pockets.

And the most daring thing they have done in the theater is not limited to this - at that time, Schmefenni's "Old Love" was being performed on the stage. In the dark corner of the room, Shen Xing chose to bite Lu Li's lips fiercely, as punishment for his malicious spoiler in his ear.

Today, the theater is still dim, but the script has already been changed, and the audience has their own thoughts, and it is not the same as before.

Where can I still see the old "Old Love"?Lu Li was a little lost in thought.His heart suddenly started beating, and an itching began to extend from his heart to his fingertips.

It's time to show off your acting skills.

He pretended to be fascinated by watching the play, and while laughing along with other audience members, he adjusted his sitting posture and naturally put his left hand on the armrest.

The prepared fingertips quickly touched the back of Shen Xingze's hand, and the first thing he felt was the raised joints at the base of the fingers.Like the slightly undulating hills on the Jiangnan Plain.

But that was only a momentary feeling.So almost at the moment of contact, he and Shen Xingze quickly moved their arms away at the same time.

This must be a "casual accident".After all, even if it was "accidentally", it has already overdrawn the courage that Lu Li can squander at the moment.

Although, he still remembered the familiar touch of the thin skin covering the muscles and bones; but to Shen Xingze, his fingertips were completely unfamiliar.

————————————————————————

Just like when entering the stage, taking advantage of the short interval after the actors called their curtain call and before the lights were turned on, Lu Li led the people out of the theater.

The meeting with the two celebrity seniors obviously made Ma Meng very excited. There was no need for Lu Li to bother to create topics throughout the whole process. The three of them listened to Ma Meng's rambling and vented their excitement.He Muliang was quite speculative with him, and as they talked, the two came together alone, and discussed when they would form a team to play basketball.

Leaving Lu Li and Shen Xing behind.Both of them were tall and long-legged, and their steps were consistent enough. They walked along the straight boulevard, and occasionally met a few passers-by, who frequently attracted sideways glances.

As he walked, Lu Li's phone vibrated.He took it out to have a look, and suddenly laughed.

Shen Xingze looked at him through the sunglasses: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Li directly showed him his phone: "The girls in the same class heard that I was walking with two handsome guys. I have all the three treasures of sunglasses, hat and mask. I seriously suspect that I am a celebrity. If I hold you back, they will be here soon."

"...Then let's go."

Shen Xing chose to press down on the brim of his hat, walked a few steps and then turned around: "Go to Sanheju, I invite you to dinner."

-----------------

Students of China Film Group are not too unfamiliar with Sanheju, because this is one of the highest-grade restaurants in the vicinity. Even if you haven’t eaten in it, you will be impressed by the Chinese-style gate with carved beams and paintings.

For Lu Li and Ma Meng, Sanheju had another special attribute: it was the restaurant of that high-end courtyard hotel.

The assistant has already booked the box, and the four guests and hosts directly enter the room.Ma Meng was very excited, and kept talking about how it happened that he had eaten the dishes here for half a month a while ago, and at the same time he took the initiative to ask Ying to introduce which dishes are more delicious.

Lu Li didn't say much.One is that he is not familiar with this place; the other is that Shen Xing chooses to sit beside him, and he always feels that something is wrong.

She wanted to say something, but her heart was filled with unspeakable secrets; she kept silent, but she couldn't help but keep gliding towards Shen Xingze.

I wasn't so awkward when I was an assistant a few months ago. What went wrong?Lu Li thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that it should be because of WeChat.

In this short period of one month, he shared many things with Shen Xingze through WeChat, as if creating a secret and intimate small world.In this two-person world, they are both alumni and friends; but back to reality, all emotions seem to be packed into Schrödinger's box.Yes or no—he didn't dare to ask, and Shen Xingze remained silent.

Just act like nothing happened.

Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long.After the dishes were ordered, the waiter tentatively recommended to them the health-preserving rice wine brewed by the cooperative winery.There will be a commission for wine sales, He Muliang couldn't bear to disappoint the waiter, so he nodded in agreement.

After the hotel manager heard the news and came to greet him, the dishes were quickly served.Wine is also good wine. I heard that it comes from a century-old workshop in the old Miao village deep in the mountains of Guizhou. It seems harmless to drink sweet and soft, but if you drink too much, you will get drunk soon.

Although Shen Xing chose to talk a little less, Ma Meng and He Muliang were enough to hold up a party, and Lu Li would occasionally interject a few words, so the atmosphere didn't seem dull.

After all, they are all alumni of China Film Group, and the topics during the meeting went around and around, always around the school.Ma Meng is a heartless person, and after a few sips of wine, he has no taboos.He dragged He Muliang to ask about the status of the 14th-level stars in the acting department, and then took out his mobile phone to show him the wall photos that Lu Li had signed.

He Muliang glanced at Shen Xingze, who was drinking with his head down, from the corner of his eye, and blocked Ma Meng's cell phone.

"Hey~~~ The past is all over, why are you still thinking about it. People should look forward when they are alive. Don't you think so?"

"Correct."

Lu Li followed suit and nodded, poured wine for Shen Xingxuan, and filled it up for himself.Before the wine bottle was put down, Shen Xingze's glass was already empty.

Ma Meng was still chattering there: "Brother Muliang, I said Lu Li...uh, I said that Lu Li, why did he want to terminate the contract with Juguang back then? How many people in such a good company are overwhelmed to get in, Is there really something inside?"

He Muliang covered his face with the wine glass, and then glanced at Shen Xingze beside him.In my heart, I was probably disgusted by the little boy who had such a lot of troubles, but he still answered with a sense of proportion.

"I don't know about this, but if I have such a good opportunity, I must seize it... Then again, people are different, and now that he's gone, it's pointless to discuss these .”

After answering, he took another look at Shen Xingze, but Shen Xingze's attention was focused on the wine glass, and he didn't hear anything.

Ma Meng sucked the snot from his nose, and was finally about to give up the topic, but another voice rang out first.

"I can understand how he feels."

It was Lu Li who spoke.

He poked the bean paste buns in the bowl with his chopsticks, his cheekbones were flushed with drunken blush.

"He and Brother Shen are classmates, and people outside say that he became famous all the way because of Brother Shen's face. But obviously everyone is in the same class, and no one pays less than the other...Why can't you mind?"

There was a rare chill during the banquet.He Muliang's gaze turned to Shen Xingzao again, and Shen Xingzao's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air.

His tone was cold, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Are you relying on your own ability to act? Can't people with long eyes see it?"

"..."

After being refuted, Lu Li seemed to be beaten back and stuck in his throat. After a while, he still felt uncomfortable.

"In this world, there are probably very few people who look at things with their eyes."

Shen Xingze simply put down his wine glass and stared at him with burning eyes.

"What about you? Are these gossips all your eyes can see?"

"I--"

Lu Li was almost on the verge of making a fuss.

His dissatisfaction with Juguang and Shen Xingxuan certainly goes beyond the gossip about "relying on whom to become popular".But there are some things that only the real Lu Li knows.He can't say it, can't say it yet.

The belated alcohol still rushed to his brain, Lu Li grabbed the goblet on the table, raised his head and gulped down the pure water in the glass, and then looked out through the glass wall.

The grotesque world, the grotesque Ma Meng and He Muliang... and even the invisible things in the dark night outside the window become clear under the refraction of this wine glass.

"Brother... I'm sorry."

When he put down his wine glass again, Lu Li returned to his usual gentleness and calmness.

"I might be a little drunk."

He smiled apologetically at Shen Xingze, saying that this Miao family rice wine should not be underestimated, and its stamina is terrifying.

The dormitory for freshmen and sophomores still had access control, and it was getting late, so Lu Li dragged Ma Meng up to leave.Only Shen Xingxuan and He Muliang were left, waiting in the box for the driver to bring the car over.

"What do you think?"

Shen Xing chose to take out his pocket, and only then remembered that he didn't bring a cigarette.

He Muliang ate a piece of pea yellow: "You two are very good, but Ma Meng talked too much."

"Don't play dumb." Shen Xing chose to interrupt him, "Do you remember what I told you before I came here?"

"...I remember, of course I remember."

He Muliang took another sip of water and nodded again and again: "Actually, I think it's okay, isn't it just that the names are exactly the same? They don't look much alike. Lao Lu is sunny and handsome, and Xiao Lu is obviously a popular little fresh meat right now." What, what... Huameinan, am I right?"

"Who asked you this. Your manners, demeanor, and perspective on certain issues."

He Muliang stroked the stubble on his chin: "I'm not familiar with this. Does it look like it? Not like it? Well, to be fair, Lao Lu and I only meet once a year these years. Who is his best friend? If you don't know, just ask me." ?”

Shen Xingxuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table covered with snow-white tablecloth, which was the movement of flicking cigarette ash.

"I think he is very similar, not in appearance but in feeling, the arrogance in his bones."

He Muliang put down the wet towel for wiping his mouth, glanced at the closed box door, and then leaned over.

"...I said, are you serious? Old Shen, don't be stupid. This is a materialistic world. Fortunately, you told me. Otherwise, it will be rumored that you believe in a cult tomorrow!"

He purposely spoke alarmist words, but Shen Xingze was still stuck in his own logic.

"Some say superstition is unsolved science. What if that is true?"

"..."

He Muliang seemed to be at a loss for words, slowly shook his head left and right twice, reached out and pressed Shen Xingze's left shoulder.

"Okay, let's take another ten million steps back and say, even if there is a miracle, even if he is really the reincarnation of Lu Li from back then, it's okay to be reincarnated... But have you ever thought about why he didn't take the initiative to say it? People don't want to say it, why don't you still Forcing people to come and confess to you?"

This time, Shen Xingze finally didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pour another glass of wine for himself.

He Muliang immediately took the wine glass away and put it far away.

"This wine is a mistake! Think about it, didn't we survive the accident just now? Don't live longer and go back! Listen to me, go back to sleep, and when you wake up, you will know what happened tonight How absurd. Besides, he is a good-looking college student, so don't delay his future..."

As he was speaking, the phone on the table rang.The driver had already parked the car outside the gate, it was time to leave.
