Play bone

It was a quarter to ten and the sky was cloudy.The farewell ceremony is about to begin.The guests from all parties walked through the corridor in silence and entered the main hall.

Lu Li wandered in this dead black tide, his footsteps were flimsy, and he still had no sense of reality.

He looked around, and wherever he looked, there were familiar faces - directors and producers who had worked with him; actors and singers who had a close personal relationship on weekdays; juniors from the same agency.

And the ones who moved him the most were those classmates from China Film Group.

A few months earlier, everyone was still discussing this year's party in the group.In order to make up the schedule, Noisy quarreled more than once.Today, however, the 30-member star group put aside all trivial matters and gathered here.

The carefully arranged main hall is solemn and solemn.There are two turns of white wreaths in the paddock, and the elegiac couplets are floating.Under the hanging tent, on the altar built with white flowers, there was a crystal coffin quietly parked.There is no area for family members to answer gifts, and the person in charge of the brokerage company is standing aside.

To Lu Li's surprise, there was no entertainment reporter at the scene, only a photographer standing in the corner with a camera.

The first thing the guests do when they enter the main hall is to pay their respects and present flowers.The flowers were prepared by the company, and Lu Li received a bouquet of white chrysanthemums.According to the order from the oldest to the youngest, from the highest to the lowest, he was arranged at the back and waited for a while before being released by the staff.

With his sorrow and joy low, Lu Li walked slowly forward with a bouquet in hand, and finally stood in front of the crystal coffin on the white flower bed.

He put down the bouquet and looked over.

"Lu Li" was sleeping peacefully among the flowers.Someone changed him into a crisp black formal suit, and his hands in white gloves were crossed on his chest.

For a moment, Lu Li seemed to think that he was holding a golden trophy in his hands.However, he soon saw clearly that it was just a huge and gorgeous yellow rose.

Perhaps to cover up the scars of the car accident, the beautician put on heavy makeup with a thick foundation and a ruddy complexion for him, giving him a serene look.But if you look closely, the neck behind the ears and above the collar is a bloodless blue and white.

This is the nature of the dead.

Lu Li was suddenly startled, and the shock quickly turned into relief——

It turns out that seeing one's own dead body is also frightening;

It turns out that the boundary between life and death is so clear and clear;

It turns out that there is nothing in this world that cannot be let go.

The time left for Lu Li to say goodbye to him was really limited. He had to keep in mind his current identity, and quickly walked to the back seat after presenting the flowers.

There are not many people presenting flowers after him, and maybe the company's senior management should give a speech on behalf of the family.Lu Li had no interest in this. The only reason he continued to stay was to accompany his body until the last moment when it was pushed to the incinerator.

But before that, a series of heavy footsteps sounded from the gate behind him.

Unknowingly, the sky has become as gloomy as dusk.The wind whistled, rolling up dust and scattered paper money.And the man who came late was rushing through the darkness.

The tall and straight man was dressed in black, his usual combed bangs hung down, covering half of his face together with the sunglasses.He walked into the hall quickly, bringing with him the hot and ominous low pressure before the rain, and a very faint fragrance of flowers.

In his arms he held a large bouquet of dazzling yellow roses.

The crowd fell silent.So many big and small celebrities seemed to have become extras, waiting for him to walk through the short passage alone and walk to the crystal coffin.

Lu Li couldn't see the movement ahead, nor could he hear the sound.But at this moment, he knew who the real organizer and operator of the funeral was.

After all, in Lu Li's 29 years of life, since the day when China Film Academy opened the journal, it seems that he has never escaped from this snare named "Shen Xingxuan".

Entanglement, surveillance, control - Lu Li once thought that these were all exaggerated expressions of love.But even though that young love had been crushed by Shen Xingze himself, he still had no intention of letting go.Maybe this man was reincarnated from a spider spirit, and he was born to control everyone around him.

But this time is different.This time, all Shen Xingze could hold was the body in the crystal coffin.

Thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his chest - his heart seemed to be cut in half, one half was hurting, while the other half was feeling happy.The flow of blood mixed these two emotions and became confused.

There are two signs of the end of the memorial service. The first is that the thunderstorm that has been boring for several hours finally fell down; The long black corridor.

There, it will disappear from people's sight like a finished prop.

Lu Li was not qualified to accompany his body through this final journey, and he couldn't even stay for a moment longer.The important guests were arranged by the company to go elsewhere, and the staff began to clear the venue.

After the rain stopped, Lu Li and his mother made a detour to the back door of the funeral home.There is a special incinerator for people to burn wreaths and incense candles, and beside the furnace is a small temple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Today is the seventh day after the car accident and the first seven memorial days for the victims.Early in the morning, Lu Li asked his mother to prepare paper money for incense sticks. There was no place to burn them in the hospital, so he brought them here.

Of course he didn't burn it to himself, but to Xiaolu, the child who really died in the car accident.No one knew of his departure, he left without a sound, not even those closest to him knew.

Lu Li also thought about whether he owed this child something, and even silently made a wish before falling asleep, hoping to get some enlightenment in the dream.But for seven days, Xiaolu has never entered his dream.

Lu Li had to think in another way: since the soul can be transferred, then the afterlife and the underworld may not be just legends.Those in the past are actually just embarking on a brand new life.

The golden flames ignited, and the flying ash rose, and it rose to a high place with repeated fragrances, and soon disappeared.

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

On the third day after the farewell ceremony, Lu Li went through the discharge procedures and returned home.

Thanks to his mother's continuous indoctrination these days, Lu Li already knew in advance what he was about to face.

The Lu family is a single-parent family. Xiaolu's father died in a car accident when he was in the third grade of elementary school, and his father's family was also estranged.Most of the relatives on my mother's side live in the provincial capital. From the photos, they all have ancestral front teeth, which look like some kind of small rodents that live in groups.

My mother was an actress when she was young, but unfortunately she was not successful. At the age of 25, I met my husband on the set of Hailing Film and Television City in X City, and they settled down in X City after marriage.Now in Hailing Film and Television City, he is responsible for coordinating the shooting schedule of various venues.Lu Li's previous production team took a fancy to this convenience, so they arranged for Xiaolu to be his life assistant.

Another point is that Xiaolu is only 17 years old.This means that besides the winter and summer vacations, Lu Li still needs to go to the provincial capital to attend a boarding high school.Right now is the summer vacation for the second year of high school and the third year of high school, and the upcoming college entrance examination will be the first turning point in his new life.

As early as 12 years ago, 17-year-old Lu Li also stood in front of the same turning point.However, at that time, he was still a winner in life. The abundance of money and the doting of his family were enough to support him to make any bold bets.

But now, his hands are empty and he has no bargaining chips.

After returning home, Lu Li was allowed to take a shower for the past few days.He refused his mother's help, carefully pasted the unhealed wound with a waterproof dressing, and hid in the bathroom.

The small bathroom is clean and neatly arranged, so you won't feel confused when you use it for the first time.But Lu Li was not in a hurry to clean up.He stood in front of the large mirror behind the sink and slowly took off his clothes.

Soon, he saw a not-so-familiar, yet extremely strange self in the mirror.

After a week of recuperation in the hospital and three loving extra meals in the morning and evening, the already obese teenager's body developed more and more horizontally.The energy that couldn't be digested turned into fat, bulging out in self-defeating.The cold white skin is like a big lump of vanilla ice cream when it is stripped off, and it is also like a big soft cocoon, covering the muscles and bones. No matter how vicious the eyes are, it is difficult to distinguish the good from the bad under the skin.

Lu Li turned around, trying to find a piece of lean meat on his body, but failed.He tried to lift his cheek again, and looked at the fat on his eyelids.

The eyes are really not small, the irises are also quite large, and the corners of the eyes are upturned.If you touch it carefully, the outline of the skull is very small.The bridge of the nose, which is trapped between the plump cheeks, is straight and straight, but the wings of the nose are pulled to the sides by the enlarged cheeks, making the whole look somewhat flat.

If there is a ready-made advantage, it is a well-aligned white teeth.Although the front teeth are big, but the smile is also pleasing.When he was studying China Film, Lu Li learned to smoke because of the stress of staying up late.Over the years, my addiction to smoking has continued unabated. Although I go to have my teeth cleaned regularly, the effect is still not satisfactory.

It seems that fate is not too cruel to him—speaking of which, I have seen photos just now, and Xiaolu's parents were both handsome and beautiful when they were young, and this gene should not be wrong.

OK, then try it.

Lu Li took a deep breath, and the boy's last smile appeared in his mind.

Pass the art test and be admitted to China Film Group—if that is the boy's last obsession, then he may be obliged to complete this matter.What's more, this is probably the only thing he is good at.

————————————————————

In the first week after returning home, except for a few relatives and friends, no outsiders came to visit.Lu Li's new life is like a small boat sailing smoothly, slowly starting a new voyage.

Although she was somewhat worried at first, her mother soon discovered that Lu Li's ability to take care of himself was normal, and he was even more prudent in dealing with people than before.And under Lu Li's elaborate disguise, his memory seems to be "recovering" rapidly.Soon, his mother resumed her nine-to-five job, which also gave Lu Li more time to make plans for the future.

The goal has been clarified, but the process can be discussed. The most important thing right now is how to get started—if you can’t get rid of this fat, let alone the art exam of China Film Group, I’m afraid you won’t even pass the provincial exam at the end of the year.
