unkind [rebirth]

Internationally renowned troupe Noah's Ark's new play "The Dragon King and the Mockingbird" is recruiting song and dance actors. This time the recruitment is global. Because the script involves ancient oriental myths, Asian actors have become the main recruitment targets.

Yao Junbao cherishes this opportunity very much.

Since graduating, Yao Junbao has let himself go and pursued his dreams from the inside out.Others say that he has no family burden, so he can be an idealist as he pleases. In fact, he is alone because he came out of the closet before going to college and was kicked out by his family.

Without the understanding and support of his family, he groped for his way out like a boat in the dark night. He suffered a lot and was cheated a lot. Still hitting a wall.At the worst time, he was tricked into a copycat crew, lived in a dilapidated dormitory with 20 people, and ate a meal of stewed tofu with cabbage every day.

This is his fourth year after graduation.Without any family background and professional training experience, after being cheated and failing to enter a large dance troupe, he gradually lost his dream of returning to his hometown after being successful. He worked for a little-known commercial dance troupe and was still in a training institution A part-time dance teacher, his income is barely enough for his squandering.

It was in this state that he saw the recruitment of "The Dragon King and the Mockingbird".The head of their dance troupe called on them all to apply for the recruitment. As long as one of them can be selected, their dance troupe may become famous in one battle.

The recruitment of Noah's Ark does not consider personal background at all, and only requires high personal quality.Yao Junbao passed five trials and defeated six generals, successfully passed the audition and re-election, and embarked on the journey to the general election in the farewell of the team leader and colleagues who wept with joy.

The venue for the national finals was set up in a well-known art school.Excellent dancers from all over the world gathered together, waiting for the interview with great ambition.

In the first interview, the test was relatively simple basic skills, and the requirement was to give full play to one's own strengths.All the dance practice rooms in the school were requisitioned by the crew to accommodate dancers waiting for interviews.

There are many talents in the practice room, ballet dancers and jazz dancers, each with their own specialties.Yao Junbao is considered unaccompanied, and has no friends to talk to him to ease his tension, so he can only do stretching exercises in silence.

"Yeah? Isn't this Yao Junbao?" Yao Junbao, who was pressing his legs, turned around and saw an "old acquaintance".

"The road to Yuanjia is narrow, Qing'an." Yao Junbao tilted his head and smiled, there were too many people, and he didn't see each other when he came in.Qing'an was the first friend he made when he first entered the society. Unfortunately, he had a deep love and righteousness before, and the queen tried desperately, so Yao Junbao broke off contact with him.

But it is undeniable that Qing'an is an excellent dancer.

"Ann, why don't you introduce me?" A woman in a dance costume came up and looked at Yao Junbao with great interest.

Yao Junbao noticed something was wrong.Qing'an is a person who knows his dark history, and if he insults him here, he will definitely not get good results.But fortunately, he is not a good-for-nothing, he still knows what's going on with Qing'an.

"Hi, call me York." Yao Junbao introduced himself generously. He couldn't run away, and if he ran away at this time, he would be slapped in the face.

"Call me Cindy, your Bulgari bracelet is so beautiful, is it new this year?" The woman was attracted by Yao Junbao's bracelet and was full of praise.

Qing'an's eyes flickered, and he said to Yao Junbao with a voice that was not loud but enough to attract others: "Are you finally willing to listen to me and buy a real product? I said it a long time ago, wearing A product is really low."

Yao Junbao's heart skipped a beat.He knows that he loves vanity, and he hasn't changed since he was a child. At the beginning, he was struggling, and he bought a lot of counterfeit products. Later, his income increased and his vision broadened. He knew the difference between fake products and genuine products, so he spent all his income on various outfits .But so what, he didn't steal or rob, using the money he earned to satisfy his vanity is better than the pimp opposite.

But at this moment, he can't tear himself apart with the other party. This is the gate of his dream. He has to maintain his demeanor and upbringing, and always be on guard against the appearance of the crew.

Yao Junbao was afraid that he would not be able to help scolding Qing'an, so he suppressed his anger, and just smiled and looked at Qing'an.

Cindy covered her mouth and smiled: "Ann, don't talk like that, it's not good for people to hear."

Seeing that Yao Junbao didn't have a fit, Qing'an glanced at the gate and said, "Oh, you don't know, York will definitely be selected this time, it's just a formality. He used to be a good neighbor with Louis Luo from Noah's Ark!"

Louis Luo is Luo Sheng, the only Asian male lead in Noah's Ark.Noah's Ark, as the world's top theater troupe, even the actors who do odd jobs or play tricks are higher than their peers, let alone the leading role.

Any circle is filled with disliking the poor and loving the rich, and praising the high and demeaning the low. Qing'an's words undoubtedly declared that Yao Junbao is not only a poor guy wearing imitations, but also self-righteous and forcibly hugging his thighs.

Cindy smiled and pretended to be surprised and got close to Yao Junbao.However, Yao Junbao felt the contempt and indifference of others, he clenched his fists, desperately enduring his anger.

Suddenly, dy exclaimed enviously: "Louis!"

Just as Yao Junbao was about to turn around, a slender, white and strong hand with five fingers pressed his shoulder. Immediately afterwards, he was half embraced by an arm, and the voice that had appeared countless times in his dreams rang in his ears, lazily and charm.

"York, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came to apply? Did you have to let me come to you in person? Huh?"

Yao Junbao's heart was beating wildly.Luo Sheng was taller and stronger than him. At this time, Luo Sheng put his arms around his shoulders, bent over to talk to him, and he was so close that he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng cut his hair short, with slightly curly hair hanging on his forehead. He straightened up, with his hands still on Yao Junbao's shoulders, and his eyes were already on Qing'an. He had a straight face, and his words were replaced by fluent English.

"I remember that the audition in this interview is about your dance foundation. Instead of standing here and chatting, why don't you prepare well before entering the venue?"

Although there is no language proficiency requirement in the recruitment notice, basic language skills are still required.Qing'an didn't quite understand Luo Sheng's words, so he forced a smile and walked to the other side of the practice room.Whether it is temperament or conversation, Luo Sheng is not able to confront at his level, let alone confrontation, standing together feels like a clown.

Only now did Yao Junbao calm down. When he met Luo Sheng before, he was never oppressed by Luo Sheng's aura. The trance-like heartbeat just now was just because Luo Sheng was too close.

Well, it must be so.

"Louis, long time no see." Yao Junbao hugged Luo Sheng generously, and then quickly backed away from Luo Sheng's dangerous area.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for three years. Wait for me after the interview. Let's find a place to catch up." Luo Sheng has friends all over the world, and some of them haven't seen each other for several years, so he doesn't think it's special. After saying this, he bid farewell to Yao Junbao.

The first round of interviews was very simple. Only a few people were eliminated. Yao Junbao successfully advanced. That night, Luo Sheng took him out for dinner in the name of an old friend.

Luo Sheng complained to him while cutting the steak: "My brother and Du Guo are really getting more and more clingy, and now they don't even go back to the company's headquarters, and have lived in China for a long time."

For this, Yao Junbao was deeply touched: "Du Guo is heartless, every time I ask him out, he has to check your brother's schedule, it's really unbearable."

The two looked at each other with the same hatred, and resonated in the depths of their souls when they complained about their elder brother and their junior.

"York, you are fine, don't feel inferior." Luo Sheng said, putting the steak cut into small pieces into his mouth.

Yao Junbao was just about to drink, when he heard Luo Sheng's words, he stopped his movements and said, "Am I still inferior?" He put down his glass, and argued with Luo Sheng dissatisfiedly: "Do you know how chaotic my circle is? How many secret operations are there? I He is a model fighter who has no money, no power, no background, and keeps himself clean, okay? Look at my bracelet, my clothes, and my bag. I'm so confident, where is my inferiority complex?"

Luo Sheng was noncommittal, he took a sip of the red wine, let the aroma of the wine bloom in the depths of his taste, and then said slowly: "Then why do you use a fork with your left hand and a knife with your right? You are obviously left-handed."

Yao Junbao was speechless, staring at Luo Sheng blankly.

"Is table manners really that important?" Luo Sheng drank soup from a small spoon and continued, "Etiquette can certainly reflect a person's self-cultivation, but on the premise of not affecting others, being tired of etiquette and caring too much about others Even if you can’t enjoy such a relaxing and personal thing as eating, isn’t it putting the cart before the horse? Even if I ask for a pair of chopsticks now, it’s just my personal preference. Even if someone laughs at me, it’s because the person who laughs at me is narrow-minded.”

"You... have the potential to be a teacher." Yao Junbao changed the subject with a dry smile, Luo Sheng's words were like thorns on his back, even if he didn't say it clearly, he understood what Luo Sheng said.

"Pretty much!" Luo Sheng followed Yao Junbao to another topic: "The next interview will be the last round, and whether you can be selected depends on your strength. Although we are old acquaintances, I won't open the back door for you. But , I have nothing to do these days, but I can guide you in private."

Yao Junbao's eyes lit up immediately, just like when he first met Luo Sheng: "Really? You want to give me a little treatment?" He covered his chest and cheered happily: "I can get Louis' guidance, I will die without regret!"

Luo Sheng was very satisfied with Yao Junbao's reaction: "If you are selected successfully, others will say that you have borrowed my light and are close to the financial master. If you fail the interview, others will laugh at you for not having the strength, brazenly fighting for the top position and being abandoned. You Are you mentally prepared?"

Yao Junbao smiled broadly: "Of course there is. And if I want to be selected successfully, I will be ridiculed anyway. I want to stand on a high place and watch their jealous faces that I can't kneel and lick."

The long-lost fighting spirit rekindled in his chest.Luo Sheng retired from his five-star hotel and moved to the express hotel where Yao Junbao stayed. The room was just opposite to Yao Junbao's room.

Noah's Ark had already informed them of the interview instructions and inspection projects. Yao Junbao got a simple script, and he was trying to figure out the needs of the crew and the connotation of the characters every day, and he couldn't relax even when he was sleeping.And Luo Sheng also fulfilled his promise, he stayed with Yao Junbao when he was free, and gave advice to Yao Junbao with his years of experience.

"Excessive force, unnatural."

"No, not full of emotion."

"To stretch, yes, to stretch. You have to be beautiful, and on stage, beauty is justice."

"Pay attention to movements, pay attention to expressions, you are not Yao Junbao, you are integrated with the character."

Yao Junbao was initially worried that Luo Sheng's actions would arouse dissatisfaction from the crew and would violate the rules. However, Luo Sheng repeatedly assured him that he would not be in charge of interviews and deciding who would go or stay, and the crew would not interfere with him. This made Yao Junbao dismiss Doubts, put all your heart and soul into the preparation.

A few days later, everyone came to the interview site again.This time, Qing'an and the others did not come to trouble Yao Junbao anymore. After all, it was the most critical link, and no one dared to relax. Before entering the arena, everyone waited silently.

Entering the interview room, there were five interviewers sitting in it, not including Luo Sheng.Yao Junbao held his breath and began to perform step by step according to Luo Sheng's teaching.

Although singing and dancing actors were recruited, the script required them to play different roles, and singing and dancing were only part of it.Stage actors are not the same as film and television dramas. Without Luo Sheng's guidance, Yao Junbao himself would ignore some details.

At the end of the interview, Yao Junbao came out, heaving a sigh of relief.He ignored Qing'an and left the school alone.

The next three days were fidgeting, and the process of waiting for the notification was extremely torturous, especially when the interviewer said that only if you were selected, you would be notified, and if you didn’t receive the notification, you were not selected.

Luo Sheng disappeared on the day of Yao Junbao's interview and did not reappear. Yao Junbao didn't go anywhere, and spent three days guarding his phone in the hotel room.

As night fell on the last day, the mobile phone was still quietly lying on the table.The heart in Yao Junbao's mouth slowly fell to the ground, he thought in frustration and despair, it seems that he really has no destiny to become famous.

Suddenly, the screen of the dumb phone lit up, happily reminding the owner that someone was calling.Yao Junbao picked up the phone in a panic, but the caller was Luo Sheng.

He answered the phone listlessly, with an unlovely tone: "Hello..."

"Hey! Where are you? I'm at a bar near you, and I'm here to celebrate your success!" Luo Sheng was quite noisy, causing him to speak loudly, shaking Yao Junbao's eardrums.

"Celebrate the knitting skills! I didn't receive the notification." Yao Junbao thought he was strong, but after saying this, he suddenly felt wronged. He has worked so hard, what is the difference!

"Huh?" Luo Sheng's background noise was quieter, he should have changed places: "Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my colleague knew that we were friends and asked me to notify you, but I was busy looking for friends to celebrate with you, so I forgot I will notify you first!"

Day Oh!There is no way to do things like this!Yao Junbao rolled over from the bed like a carp, and the little boy who had just landed on his stomach jumped back into his mouth. He repeated in disbelief, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"I said you were selected! "The Dragon King and the Mockingbird", you and I will perform on the same stage!" Luo Sheng said loudly, he was in a good mood, and couldn't help asking for credit: "With my blessing for you, how could you? Lost! Hurry up, why celebrate the celebration banquet without the main character?"

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go! Wait for me!" Yao Junbao threw the phone aside, groaned and dumped his suitcase, took out all his equipment and laid it out on the bed, nothing could calm his excitement and excitement Mood.

He was selected!He was selected as an actor in Noah's Ark!He will stand on the same stage as Luo Sheng from now on!Envied and looked up to by countless colleagues!

After dressing up meticulously, Yao Junbao hurried to the bar. He wanted to thank Luo Sheng face to face. Without Luo Sheng, he would not have been selected.

Luo Sheng booked a large private room and called a bunch of friends in the circle. Yao Junbao was not familiar with the place, so he would always need acquaintances in the circle in the future.

Luo Wei likes Du Guo, Luo Sheng loves the house and Wudi recognizes Du Guo, and now he even helps Du Guo's friends sincerely.Thinking of this, Luo Sheng gave himself a hundred praises in his heart, and was moved by his chivalry.

After Yao Junbao arrived panting, he enthusiastically put his arms around Yao Junbao's shoulders and introduced everyone present.

"This is our Noah's Ark's potential stock, treat him better in the future!" At the end, Luo Sheng solemnly paved the way for Yao Junbao.

This sentence received overwhelming booing, and someone joked: "That's natural, we will definitely take special care of your people!"

"Go away, you will die if you dare to touch him." Luo Sheng smiled and raised his hand to block the other party, everyone laughed and pushed each other.

Yao Junbao never dreamed that Luo Sheng could really help him to this extent, and the scene when he met Luo Sheng is still vivid in his memory. For a careless person like Luo Sheng, if it weren't for his handsome looks, he wouldn't put his hot face on his cold ass. He deliberately pestered Luo Sheng, and as for taking advantage of Luo Sheng, he never even thought about it.So when Luo Sheng left, he didn't take the initiative to contact Luo Sheng.People who are not from the same world at all, it is one thing for Yangou to love beautiful men, but it is another thing to entangle them endlessly on poles.Yao Junbao knew it clearly.

But now he can't figure it out.The dim and colorful lights in the private room illuminate Luo Sheng's delicate face like a dream.Yao Junbao reached out to touch Luo Sheng's clothes, but no matter what, he couldn't touch Luo Sheng's clothes.In the entire private room, only Luo Sheng was real, and Yao Junbao couldn't see anyone else.

Later, Luo Sheng drank too much.

Yao Junbao let Luo Sheng give full play to his personal heroism, and all the wine that tried to pour into Yao Junbao's mouth ended up in Luo Sheng's stomach.Luo Sheng was so drunk that he nearly jumped onto the table and talked nonsense.

A man wearing a Hermes jacket was sitting beside Luo Sheng. When Yao Junbao was courteous, he caught a glimpse of the Hermes man lifting Luo Sheng's chin in the corner from the corner of his eyes. Pull aside.

And Luo Sheng, who had drunk too much, was still confused, so he wrapped his arms around Yao Junbao's waist with a smile: "Baby, are you here? I drank too much, take me back!"

"Okay." Yao Junbao didn't meet Hermès man's eyes, but turned to face the crowd, held up a large glass of wine and said, "My friends, I'm sorry, Luo Sheng is not feeling well, I'll take him a step ahead, next time I have a chance Let's get together again. I will apologize to everyone for disappointing everyone with this glass of wine." After speaking, Yao Junbao drank it down.

The Hermes man seemed to be sincerely trying to make things difficult for Yao Junbao. He stood up unsteadily, his height advantage made him look down on Yao Junbao, and his tone was arrogant: "I'll take him back, you just met everyone, play a little longer good."

Everyone fell silent, and the private room suddenly fell into silence, only the noise from outside came in.Everyone knew the inside story more or less, and stared at them like watching a good show.

Yao Junbao was standing, and Luo Sheng was sitting on the sofa hugging his waist, leaning his big head on Yao Junbao as if he was asleep.Yao Junbao looked at the Hermes man without flinching, and pouted him clearly and brightly: "No, I'll just send him off."

The Hermes man took a step forward and stood in front of Yao Junbao, covering Yao Junbao with his whole body. His eyes were slightly sarcastic, which made Yao Junbao feel uncomfortable.And the Hermès man deliberately leaned in front of Yao Junbao, provoking Yao Junbao's chin: "This is Luo Sheng's new love? She is still a tough guy, I like it, come with me tonight, how about it?"

Yao Junbao turned pale and trembled with anger.He hates people saying this to him the most, as if in the eyes of others, he is a puppet at the mercy of others, a plaything that can be sold for a little money.

But before he could fight back, the Hermes man, who was still flaunting his power, fell down on the sofa in an instant. can't do it.

How did Luo Sheng wake up and how did he explode? No one had time to react. When everyone realized that the Hermes man was pinched by Luo Sheng to the point of dying, they yelled for Luo Sheng to let go.

Luo Sheng stopped laughing, his face was clouded, and he only stared at the Hermes man with fierce eyes. He ignored the dissuasion of his friends, and said to the Hermes man viciously: "Pick off this human skin, what do you think you are?" ? Do you dare to touch my friend? Tired of work?"

"Luo Sheng let go, we are all friends, so don't be impulsive!" Everyone rushed to pull Luo Sheng, Luo Sheng pinched the Hermès man violently, and then let go.

"That York, Luo Sheng drank too much, you should take him back first!"

After Luo Sheng made such a fuss, no one dared to despise Yao Junbao anymore.Yao Junbao didn't say anything, just nodded, grabbed Luo Sheng's arm, and pulled the vicious Luo Sheng out of the door.The Hermès man was sitting there coughing fiercely, someone helped him and someone handed him water. No one expected that Luo Sheng would have a falling out with his friend.

After leaving the bar door, Luo Sheng almost knelt down when the evening wind blew, the domineering side leak just now was gone.Yao Junbao helped him in time to save him from the pain of his knees hitting the ground.

"Brother Bao, I'm not drunk." Luo Sheng shook off Yao Junbao and took a symbolic step forward.

Yao Junbao hurriedly stopped him: "Yeah, I know you're not drunk, you drink really well."

After coaxing Luo Sheng back to the hotel, Yao Junbao remembered to search Luo Sheng's pocket, but he couldn't find the room card.Luo Sheng was dead again, and he was sweating profusely under the pressure. He had no choice but to help Luo Sheng into his room.

There are two beds in Yao Junbao's standard room, Yao Junbao threw the confused Luo Sheng on one bed, and then went to take a bath by himself.The sticky feeling of sweat all over his body was too uncomfortable for him.

When he changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom refreshingly, Luo Sheng, who was supposed to be asleep, sat cross-legged on his bed, and shook the bottle in his hand with a smile: "Brother Bao, shall we continue drinking?"

Luo Sheng's mind is not clear, Yao Junbao is very sure of this.Although he is older than Luo Sheng, Luo Sheng became famous when he was young, and after meeting him, he didn't call him Brother Bao at all, but called him York.

But anyway, I'm back at the hotel, so don't worry about Luo Sheng's personal safety.Yao Junbao sat over patiently, wiped the water from his hair and said, "It's too late, go to bed."

Luo Sheng pouted and said, "No, I haven't had enough."

Still an alcoholic.Yao Junbao complained in his heart, and let Luo Sheng mess around.He didn't care when Luo Sheng ordered the wine, he happily took two glasses and asked Luo Sheng to pour the wine.

Luo Sheng took a sip of his wine, and immediately satiated: "It's been a long time since I had such a good time. When the rehearsal starts, we will resolutely prohibit alcohol."

"That's it..." Yao Junbao took a sip and sipped: "Then you can drink it, I didn't thank you properly because the night was too messy, I'll drink enough with you today."

Luo Sheng turned his head sideways, staring at Yao Junbao with sparkling eyes: "Why thank me, it's obviously the result of your hard work."

Yao Junbao shook his head in a hurry: "What's the use of my own efforts, I have no wealth, and there are a lot of people like me. If it weren't for you, I would definitely..." Before he finished speaking, his lips were blocked up.

Luo Sheng's face was enlarged in front of his eyes, half-closed his eyes and kissed him intently, his nasal cavity was filled with Luo Sheng's smell, and his tongue was chased uncontrollably by Luo Sheng.

Yao Junbao stared at Luo Sheng intently, unable to believe everything in front of him.

He... He was kissed by Luo Sheng!

The half glass of wine in Yao Junbao's hand finally fed the carpet, and his beating heart was about to fly out of his throat. At this moment, he realized that he was not happy to be envied by entering Noah's Ark. He was happy To be able to perform on the same stage with Luo Sheng in the future!Equal, shoulder to shoulder, stand together!

Luo Sheng let go of Yao Junbao, and stared dazedly at Yao Junbao's face. He felt that his whole body was soft, and Yao Junbao's dazed look was even more interesting to him.So he laughed, and joked while laughing: "I said, you are excellent, even better than you think, you have to be confident, you are more attractive when you are confident."

Turning all beings upside down, that's it... Yao Junbao sighed in his heart, his body's reaction made him blush and heat up, but looking at Luo Sheng, after saying this, he fell backwards and fell on the quilt.

Actually fell asleep.

Yao Junbao's eyes fell on a certain place of Luo Sheng, and Yao Junbao was [-]% awake when there was no response.

So, was that an appreciation kiss?

The city outside the window is brightly lit, and everyone who is immersed in the dark night has his own direction.Yao Junbao clearly realized that he had fallen, and the person who made him fall was sleeping heartlessly on his bed.

Yao Junbao restrained his desire, straightened Luo Sheng, and covered Luo Sheng with a quilt.Looking at Luo Sheng's beautiful sleeping face, Yao Junbao lay down on another bed sadly and sweetly.

How should we go in the future... Yao Junbao tried his best to think, but he still couldn't come up with an answer.
