[Rebirth] King of Theater

The scale of the Sylvie Theater is small, but its location is superior. It happens to be located on the busiest street. Therefore, even if it is not a break time, there are no new shows, and there are still many pedestrians and small businesses at the door. Street vendors, children running around and playing, idlers wandering lazily...

So, when Al stepped forward quickly, took Randy's hand, held hands with him, and walked towards Luke, these people subconsciously glanced at them.Because Randy has always been particular about his clothes and hairstyle, he is very fashionable and decent, and his whole body is not inferior to a star. In addition, he is born beautiful, and that kind of dazzling, radiant demeanor is also rare.As for Al standing next to him, his sense of existence is slightly inferior, but once he is noticed, if you look closely and carefully, you will find that handsome guys appear together in groups.

Luke looked at the two, and jealous hatred inevitably arose in his heart.

But even he had to admit that when Al and the golden-haired boy stood together, their appearance and aura matched each other extremely well, and they could be called a natural match.

"Randy, you know, this is Luke, my best brother, closer than a brother."

Al introduced them to each other again: "Luke, this is Randy. You met, uh—now my boyfriend."

When Randy heard the phrase 'boyfriend', he immediately burst into a smile.

He put his arms around Al's waist, then lowered his head very naturally, kissed him on the face, then turned his gaze to Luke, showed a polite smile that was not very sincere, and said something that sounded very friendly at first glance, But in fact, it can make Luke angry: "Ah, thank you for taking care of Al these years. It will not be troublesome in the future, let me take care of him."

Time seems to go back to more than ten years ago, remembering the first time I met Randy, I was ridiculed by insinuations for not knowing Faust...

The resentment and jealousy in Luke's heart inevitably increased, but today, he is no longer a boy who gets angry after being teased a few times. Although he hates Randy so much that he wants to kill him with a sword, on the surface he always He also tried his best to pretend to be calm: "I think some feelings cannot be cut off with a few words. Al and I have known each other for a long time. Do you know Rhodes Street? We grew up on that street since we were young. The people there are very poor, so we both have to figure out how to make money..."

Al didn't notice the turbulent undercurrent between Luke and Randy, and laughed beside him when he heard the words: "Oh, it happened so many years ago."

"Thinking about it now, it seems like it happened yesterday..." Luke said, watching him.

"But anyway, it's over."

Randy seemed to interrupt the communication between the two people from the side unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Actually, the past, no matter good or bad, can only be kept in memory. It's okay to think about it occasionally. But in real life, it is useless to think too much, people always have to look forward."

Luke pursed his lips, furious in his heart.

At this time, Randy took Al's arm very intimately, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Luke, since Al treats you as a brother, and since I am his boyfriend, I also treat you as a good friend and a good brother." It's..."

Ah, the bloody golden rooster!Who is your good friend and brother!

Luke couldn't show his anger, and wanted to yell at him, but since Al was watching with a smile, he couldn't say it at all, so he had to lower his head slightly, and while remaining silent, he managed to control his facial expressions at this time to avoid being too angry. Too ferocious, scary...

However, his silence didn't shut Randy off.

On the contrary, there was a sly look in Randy's blue eyes, followed by a hesitant look on his face, and he turned his head to look at Al, as if he was trying to get some opinion, or pondering whether he should keep going...

But after hesitating for less than ten seconds, he made up his mind, as if he wanted to speak to Luke, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Dear brother Luke, for God's sake, Don't laugh at me. I, I want to hold a wedding with Al like a normal couple..."

"Ah?" Al was startled, and hurriedly interjected and asked, "What? Why didn't I know? When did you think about it?"

Randy immediately gave him a doting look, and said half-truth, half-false, and well-founded: "I was just thinking about it in my heart, and I always felt that such a mobilization was not in line with our usual low-key style. Until When I saw Luke today, I couldn't help thinking about it... Think about it, Al. He is your good friend and brother, but he didn't know me before, which is a bit unreasonable. We have been dating for several years Well, at least we should inform relatives and friends in a small area, right?"

After hearing this, Al felt a little guilty: "I was negligent."

Randy hurriedly hugged him and comforted him, "It's not too late now..."

Luke stood beside him, unable to say a word, his heart ached for a while, his facial muscles were numb, he tried to put on a smile, and said dryly: "Oh, that sounds very interesting. That’s right.” But at this moment, deep down in his heart, he was already angrily and almost hated: “Ah, there is a wedding… The damn golden rooster definitely told me that on purpose!It was on purpose! '

But when it comes to this, Randy is getting more and more comfortable.

He probably didn't take Luke seriously at all, and felt that he was finally sure of winning this silly boy who didn't even know Faust. For a moment, those sky blue eyes flashed triumphantly, and he pulled Al again. Whispered: "Don't be in a hurry, let's go back and discuss it."

Then, the two actually bid farewell to Luke together.

Luke could only stand at the entrance of the theater like this, watching them leave, his mood fluctuated back and forth between anger and sadness, he couldn't decide for a while, whether he should find a chance to beat up that annoying golden boy to vent his anger, or cry happily Is it a good game?In the end, because he didn't want to see Al sad and angry, he chose to cry bitterly.

Worried about being seen ashamed...

Luke ran home, closed the door, and sat on the sofa crying silently.

In the early years, Al's youngest brother Anthony often came to his house to play.

The character of this child is a bit like Al. He is well-behaved, sensible, and doesn't like to make trouble, but he likes to listen to stories. Therefore, every time Luke's grandma is too busy, Luke will be caught and read some fairy tales to him. .

However, Luke is not artistic at all.

In his opinion, those fairy tales are all nonsense, for example, that Hans Christian Andersen's "The Daughter of the Sea".

In his mind, the story was really inexplicable.

Is that silly mermaid princess a saint?Even if you don't kill the prince you love, you should kill the princess of the neighboring country who snatched the prince!After all, if the princess from the neighboring country hadn't appeared, the prince might not have recognized the person who really saved him.

Therefore, when he told Anthony this story, he tampered with the plot: "The sisters gave the mermaid princess a sharp dagger and a bottle of potion, and told her that as long as you stab the knife into the chest of the neighboring princess , let her blood flow to your body, and your feet will turn back into fishtails; then, you pour the potion into the mouth of the prince you like, and his legs will turn into fishtails. In this way, you can get rid of your rival in love and bring the prince home."

Anthony was confused when he heard this: "Wait, that's not what grandma said last night. Besides, witches, witches don't have the potion to turn people into mermaids..."

Luke didn't change his face: "Witches can turn mermaids into humans, why can't they turn humans into mermaids? I'm right."

So he went on.

The mermaid princess successfully killed her love rival and fed the magic medicine into the prince's mouth. Then, she brought the prince and sisters back to the depths of the ocean happily, and lived happily ever after.

Anthony opened his eyes wide and pointed out with disbelief: "You lie, the little mermaid will not kill people, and the prince will not be happy."

The child pursed his lips and protested childishly: "The prince doesn't love the little mermaid at all, even if he kills the princess of the neighboring country, he doesn't love the little mermaid either. How can he be happy?"

Luke is naturally unrepentant and insists that the story he tells is right.

For this reason, it also caused Anthony to cry a lot.

But today, he suddenly remembered this matter again, and finally realized that what Anthony said might be right.

——The prince doesn’t love the little mermaid at all, even if he kills the princess of the neighboring country, he still doesn’t love the little mermaid, how can he be happy?

He lay on his back on the sofa, covering his eyes with his hands sadly...

Grandma Luke came in just in time to see this scene, and was almost terrified.

In her memory, Luke was a very unscrupulous child, and the word crying had nothing to do with him at all.

Because this child has been alive and kicking since he was a child, looking for cats and dogs, and doing everything. When he was seven years old, he just understood something, and he burned his house to ruins. His parents gave him mixed doubles. He gave up and said he was going to throw him away... Later, he was really thrown on the street without shedding a single tear.

When I grew up a little bit, I learned to steal from some bad kids in the slums. From time to time, I was caught by the police, and I was frightened and educated.

At the time, Grandma Luke was an old man, a self-proclaimed well-informed, almost driven to despair, thinking that the kid would grow up to have a decent job and be thankful if he didn't get free meals in prison .

Unexpectedly, since he got to know Al, this unlucky boy turned over from salty fish and became the top management of the theater.

For that alone, Grandma Luke thanked Al every moment of the rest of her life.

Of course, that's a bit of a stretch.

However, judging from Luke's great achievements in the past, Grandma Luke couldn't believe that the person in front of her who was silently wiping tears was Luke!

Is this person fake?

Grandma Luke couldn't help rubbing her eyes, thinking that her old eyes were dim and she was hallucinating.

But when she walked over to take a closer look, she could no longer deceive herself.

She cried out worriedly in her soft sweet little old lady voice, "Oh my God, my God, what's the matter with you, my child!"

Luke covered his face in embarrassment, but tears flowed down his fingers.

He choked up and said, "Grandma, I really like Al, I love Al, but he doesn't love me, he, he loves someone else!"

Grandma Luke was stunned for a while, and she couldn't help showing a shocked look on her face, but then, the look turned into distressed and sad little by little...

She staggered over, hugged Luke into her arms with her thin arms, as if he was still a child, hugged him tightly, patted his back gently, and comforted him: " Don't cry, don't cry, grandma is here, grandma is here."
