Euthanasia

Christmas in China is more lively than in America.The streets, shopping malls, and bars are full of people, all of them couples.Liu Zhiwei and Jon drank until the early hours of the morning.

No one noticed them around, everyone was with their partners, and only their lovers were in their eyes.Liu Zhiwei and Jon drank when there were the most people, and left when the least people were there.

The hall of the bar was still echoing with cheerful Christmas music, and they hugged and danced slowly on a small dance floor.Passing guests and cleaning staff will occasionally glance at them.But it's Christmas, and there are too many lovers showing their love, and they don't have time to be curious.

Liu Zhiwei and Jon didn't go home until three o'clock in the morning.They walked on the road on the thin snow, holding hands, their fingertips were red from the cold, but no one let go.

"Thank God," Jon said suddenly.Steam came out of his mouth, and he was like a hero in a fairy tale on a bright snowy night.

Liu Zhiwei knew what he was talking about.He knows all of Jon's thoughts.

The footprints were connected behind them, and a thin layer of snow fell on the hair tips and shoulders. The snow fell quietly, as if slowing down time.

"Thank God." Liu Zhiwei said.

Jon tightened his hand, leaned forward and kissed Liu Zhiwei's ear suddenly.The cold skin and the hot air from breathing together made Liu Zhiwei's ears tickle and laugh.

"Next year we should spend Christmas in the United States," Liu Zhiwei said. "We should spend it with your parents. This is not our New Year, but this is a day for your family reunion."

"Oh, Bob and Daisy won't mind." Jon said so, subconsciously took out his phone.

"You should call them, they are in the afternoon." Liu Zhiwei encouraged.

Under Liu Zhiwei's urging, Jon made a video call.The call was for Daisy and was picked up within a few seconds.

"OMG! It's baby Johnny! Honey! This is his first video call to us!!"

"No, I've hit mom several times." Jon couldn't help retorting.

"Johnny how are you up there? What the fuck is that phone... oh hey I see Zeo! You guys are wearing red sweaters! That looks great, we should get one too, Robert you see ?"

"Oh yeah, hi Zeo, hi son." Robert's face appeared, "Me and your mom were clearing the snow in the garden and she wanted to make some snowmen on the roof. Is it late at night there ?”

Jon put the phone in front of Liu Zhiwei, and Liu Zhiwei greeted them: "Hi Bob, Hi Daisy."

"We had a few drinks and Zeo wanted to say hello to you, so I called." Jon said without changing his face under Liu Zhiwei's squinting gaze, "I hope you have a good time and don't pile snowmen on On the roof, please. You dropped it the year before last, and nearly broke Bob's neck."

"Then this time we'll put it down," said Daisy at once, "in the hallway in front of the door, so that everyone can see it, don't you think it's okay, Robert?"

Robert had already started shoveling snow over there.

Jon said impatiently: "Okay, Mom, we have to go home, don't let yourself get hurt, okay? You really love to play."

It was the first time Liu Zhiwei heard such words from Jon, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Alright Johnny, I love you all, Zeo, remember to tell us when you come." After Daisy finished speaking, Jon hung up the phone. Jon stared at Liu Zhiwei and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"I think I understand why you always have so many wonderful ideas." Liu Zhiwei smiled and strode forward, "You and Daisy are exactly the same."

"She's too childish for me to..."

The whole road was full of their laughter, and Jon kept holding Liu Zhiwei's hand tightly, like Siamese twins, and would not let go.They left their coats open, and the red sweaters inside were the brightest colors.

Liu Zhiwei could touch the ring on Jon's finger. The ring was the same as the one on his hand, and it was designed by Jon himself.When Jon wanted to do something for him, he usually did it himself, even though he was rich, and even though he could have someone else design something better.

Liu Zhiwei kissed Jon downstairs in their house.He feels that sometimes people need to be less prejudiced, less critical of themselves, and less concerned about other people's opinions.

If he wants to kiss his lover, he doesn't have to think about what other people think.

There is a big Christmas tree full of lights in the community late at night, and there are still couples wandering around the tree.Liu Zhiwei and Jon kissed in the shadows, not caring about anyone.

On the second day, a message on the Internet was maxed out: Liu Zhiwei, the popular actor, is his sexuality being questioned again? !

There is a photo in the published news, which is the photo of Liu Zhiwei and Jon sitting next to each other in the bar.Their poses are very intimate, wearing red sweaters that look exactly the same from behind, and smiling quite warmly.

When Xu Ting called Liu Zhiwei nervously, Liu Zhiwei was reading the news.He subconsciously said: "It was a good shot."

"What did you say?" Xu Ting said from the other end.

"Oh, I'm not...I mean...let's leave it for now, it's not a big deal." Liu Zhiwei came back to his senses and said.

"What do you mean it's no big deal? There must be something big behind this kind of photo. Don't you have the slightest impression of being photographed?!" Xu Ting was about to go crazy over there.

Liu Zhiwei glanced at the date and said, "The winners of Feng Yi's film festival will be announced soon."

"What film festival?" Xu Ting was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized, "That anti-war film of yours?!"

"The title is "Marrige." Liu Zhiwei reminded him.

Xu Ting was stunned for a while.

"...Okay." After Xu Ting said these two words, he felt that he had nothing to say.He dryly asked Liu Zhiwei how he was preparing for "Death Knight" and hung up the phone hastily.

After Liu Zhiwei hung up the phone, he took a nervous breath.The independent film festival is just a small exhibition, and its importance is certainly not higher than that of the three major international film festivals, but this film festival is a direct train to the Berlin Film Festival in February.

Feng Yi submitted the film to the Berlin Film Festival at the same time, expecting to win two awards.Once the film festival wins, the film may be released, and the appearance of Liu Zhiwei and Jon is bound to attract heated discussions, so don't even think about it.

While Liu Zhiwei was meditating, Jon came out of the study with his laptop in his hand.

"Hey baby, have you seen Sex and the City?"

"Of course I've seen it." Liu Zhiwei let Jon sit next to him and started tinkering with their home theater.

"I want to watch it again," Jon said as he connected to the slowly falling screen, and after he settled everything, he turned his head and asked Liu Zhiwei, "Do you want to watch it?"

Liu Zhiwei couldn't help laughing: "I think so."

Jon turned off all the lights except for a few dimly lit floor lamps.In the soft and warm light, he put his arms around Liu Zhiwei, allowing him to lean on his body and snuggle together.

"You know that I have thought about watching old movies countless times with people like this." Liu Zhiwei said lightly, "But in my past, no one liked watching movies."

This was the first time Jon heard Liu Zhiwei mention his previous relationship experience after a long time. He couldn't help holding Liu Zhiwei's hand to confirm that his palm was still warm.

"So I'm your first 'movie companion'?" Jon said softly.

"That's right." Liu Zhiwei smiled, "And you won't laugh at me for being a bad actor."

Jon's expression became serious: "They laughed at you as a bad actor?"

"In the past, I was always playing tricks," Liu Zhiwei shrugged, "You know that in China, in such an era of rapid development, fame and money represent everything. How much effort has been put in. In the end, everything you did before becoming famous is worth mentioning."

Liu Zhiwei took Jon's hand backhand: "You are the first person who thinks that my efforts are more valuable than the results, and my seriousness is worth everything in return. You won't tell me 'you just ran away Can you call yourself an actor?' You've seen all of my work, and you think I'm a hard worker. It's amazing to be sure of that. Too many people don't want to affirm others because they're never sure Own."

Jon hugged Liu Zhiwei tightly and kissed his hair: "No matter what your profession is, whether you are famous or not, only what you are doing makes you valuable, not the final result. The result will prove your value , but it doesn’t work every time.”

The four women in the film appear.They came to New York to find love.

Liu Zhiwei squeezed Jon's fingers and said, "I don't need to go to New York, New York found me."

Liu Zhiwei thought of the countless nights in which he lay on the same bed with some strange and familiar people.Their bodies are very close, but Liu Zhiwei feels that the distance between them seems to be as far away as a space.In the eyes of others, Liu Zhiwei's social status may not be as high as those people, but what Liu Zhiwei thinks, no one has owned what he has.

"You know I've been trying to find a position that's right for me," Jon said suddenly, "and I haven't been able to find it. There's always been a little bit of a mismatch between my friends, my partners, my parents, and I haven't found very close friends. , even Shanna and Lu Yi, they have a great relationship with me, but I can't rely on them to survive. Until I found you. You stuck me in the perfect position, so precise, so in tune. It's like— — like two tiny joined parts of a German clock. I always fantasize about miracles, and you always make them happen — but you know, we're so different, so imperfect, we never seem to be able Together, God made it happen—”

Jon's lips were suddenly blocked by Liu Zhiwei.Liu Zhiwei kissed him deeply, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"I feel exactly the same way."

We are made for each other.A voice echoed in Liu Zhiwei's mind.

The whole city is in the aftertaste of the festive atmosphere of Christmas, and the heavy snow is still covering the city quietly.Everything on the Internet happens and spreads quietly and explosively.The photo of Liu Zhiwei and Qiao En spread quickly. As a popular movie star, this photo received an astonishing amount of attention.

What is strange is that neither party has issued a clarification statement. The interviewed Williams employees have always said: "We don't know about this."

"It's been spreading wildly on the Internet, saying that I don't know if I'm blind?!"

"No way?? This can't be true, right?!"

"There were rumors that Liu Zhiwei was gay before, but he suppressed it later, it seems that it is not made out of nothing."

"I have never liked Liu Zhiwei."

"It's outrageous. Doesn't Jon Williams have a wife?"

"Jon Williams is not gay, is he?"

"You idiots, Jon's idol has always been Brother Zhiwei, and he has brought Zhiwei's clay figurine to the stage in several press conferences!"

"I'm afraid it's not poisonous..."

"Looking at the photos, it's just a little closer, it's nothing."

"Oh my god, who took this picture! My fan's niche cp actually has official food??!!"

The news on the Internet came one after another, and gradually overseas fans also started related discussions, but their discussions went in completely opposite directions:

"Has Jon finally caught up with his idol?!"

"Oh my God, if only I were Jon! I've loved Zeo for a long time!"

"I'm so jealous of Jon! But I'm jealous of Zeo too! I want to be at least one of them!"

"I don't believe this news. To be honest, Jon has had a lot of scandals before. Zeo may just be one of his targets. He is not a serious person."

"Jon brought Zeo's clay to the press conference several times, and I think he's serious this time."

"Why would Jon choose an Asianpig?"

"Only a loser would choose racial discrimination and find a sense of superiority from others!"

"Jon has always had the intention of developing into China, and Zeo is likely to be only a part of his goal."

The discussion on the extranet quickly spread to politics, economics and racism, and the influence of the news further escalated.
