Euthanasia

Jon didn't get up in the morning.Because he watched that movie over and over last night, and only fell asleep when it was dawn.

Lu Yi had already been lying on his back on the accompanying bed, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

When Liu Zhiwei entered the door, he saw two snoring people.

Liu Zhiwei: "..." Are these two thieves again?

Liu Zhiwei originally planned to give Jon a surprise, but he couldn't say "surprise" when he opened the door and came in. He had nothing to say when he saw two salted fish with their bellies turned.

He looked at his watch, it was eleven o'clock.Usually Jon wakes up at ten o'clock, stays in bed for 15 minutes, washes up for 10 minutes, and then waits for breakfast.

Liu Zhiwei came late today and wanted to make sure that Jon was fully awake. Unexpectedly, not only Jon fell asleep, but Lu Yi also fell asleep there.

The projection cloth in the ward was still unfolded, and the film had already finished showing, so I didn't know what wonderful film the two of them were watching that night.

Liu Zhiwei put the things in his hand on the bedside table, came to Jon's bed and squatted down, and patted his face: "Jonnie? Johnny?"

Jon murmured, "'Zhou Lang'..."

Liu Zhiwei frowned, and approached his face suspiciously: "Johnny—?"

Jon bounced sharply.Knocking Liu Zhiwei back, Liu Zhiwei sat down on the ground, and Jon's chin hit Liu Zhiwei's forehead, and he groaned in pain.

Before Liu Zhiwei said anything, Jon saw Liu Zhiwei fixedly, and called out first: "Zeo!"

Liu Zhiwei stood up rubbing his forehead and couldn't help but say, "What were you doing last night?"

Jon shouted: "You know martial arts!"

Liu Zhiwei was stunned for a while, thinking that Jon must have seen the clips of his audition on the Internet, so he suddenly realized, "It's for acting."

"Why didn't you tell me!" Jon stared at him with wide eyes, "Do all Chinese people know it?!"

"Not all of them..." After Liu Zhiwei stood up, he thought of something, and quickly said remedially, "Don't move!"

Jon sat there blankly.

Liu Zhiwei pulled out a stick-shaped object from his pocket and stretched out his hand to pull it. With a "bang", a small firework exploded.Liu Zhiwei said remedially: "Surprise——Happy Birthday!"

Jon stared blankly at Liu Zhiwei.

The scene was awkward.

"...um...are you surprised...?" Liu Zhiwei put down his hand in embarrassment.

Jon suddenly opened his arms.

"Comeon, here's your very own hug - come here, I can't wait."

Liu Zhiwei moved over stiffly, and hugged Jon vainly, but was crushed by Jon so violently that his lungs were flattened.

"I'm so - moved!" Jon exaggeratedly hugged Liu Zhiwei tightly, causing Liu Zhiwei to beat his back repeatedly, "You actually remember my birthday!"

Liu Zhiwei was almost out of breath: "...your computer password is...0106...you said that most people use birthdays as passwords..."

Jon excitedly said to Lu Yi behind Liu Zhiwei: "Lu Yi! Did you hear that! Someone unlocked my computer password! My God! Zeo did it!"

Lu Yi, who had been awakened a long time ago but didn't want to talk to Jon at all, turned over and buried his head with a pillow: "..."

"You know you've done what all the Hurricanes haven't done?" Jon said excitedly.

Liu Zhiwei: "... you first... let go..."

Lu Yi: "..." Because all programmers have never considered that Jon's password is just a birthday number like ordinary people.

Liu Zhiwei took advantage of the moment Jon's embrace was loosened, and immediately struggled out, his face flushed red and his hair messy, like a tomcat that just struggled out of someone's embrace.

"What is this? The birthday present you brought me?" Jon sharply saw the box on the bedside table.

"...It's your birthday cake." Panting, Liu Zhiwei straightened his clothes and opened the box.

Inside is a square cake, not very big, with "Happy Birthday, Jone" written on it in cursive.

Jon clutched his heart.

"Oh—Zeo!"

It was difficult for Liu Zhiwei to deal with Jon's exaggerated expressions and emotions without changing his face, and he just wanted to run away.

Jon couldn't wait to turn over the small table and put the cake on the small table.

Liu Zhiwei took out two candles from the bag, one was "3" and the other was "5", and they were neatly inserted on the cake.

Jon looked a little unhappy.

"What's the matter..." Liu Zhiwei stared at his face, and his heart skipped a beat, "I got your age wrong...?"

"No," said Jon, "I just found out I'm seven years older than you—eight now."

—but you look only eight years old.Liu Zhiwei complained in his heart.

"You look very young." Liu Zhiwei comforted him.

"I wasted eight years more than you, but I only established one more company than you." Jon was a little sullen.

Liu Zhiwei: "..." Isn't one company enough?That is the world's top IT company hurricane!And what can you compare to a salted fish!

"And I failed to overcome the difficulties and stand up for eight years more than you." Jon stared at the candle in front of him, and the meaning of his words made Liu Zhiwei suddenly speechless, "But you stood up."

Liu Zhiwei squatted beside the bed in silence, while Lu Yi, who covered his head with a pillow, lifted the pillow away, lay on his side with his back to the two, and looked at the wall in front of him.

"I'm just unlucky," Liu Zhiwei said suddenly, with a smile on his face, "Everyone has bad luck and bad health. It's not his own fault, it's just the result. These are always dismissed as 'failures' by others."

Jon was silent for a while, and said, "We were watching "Broken Style" last night."

Liu Zhiwei was taken aback.

"You know what I, and most fans, love most about the character 'Zhou Lang'?" Jon said.

Liu Zhiwei said subconsciously: "...what is it?"

"His character, personality, attitude... are actually based on him being a hero, and what makes him a hero is his kung fu. It is his kung fu that made him stuck in this position and made him a character. , His kung fu is also the favorite of the majority of movie fans." Jon said, "Why didn't you tell me that you are his martial arts stand-in? You are not even on the staff list."

Liu Zhiwei's body froze and did not move at all.

"Is this a form of cheating?" Jon asked.

Liu Zhiwei still didn't answer.

"Only a righteous man with ability can be called a hero, and a righteous man without ability can only be called a good man." Jon said, "You made an unsung hero and made a good man a cheater. It's your responsibility." Did you mean it?"

Liu Zhiwei opened his mouth and clenched his fists tightly.He said slowly, "No."

Jon looked at him with no sympathy or righteous indignation on his face, just asked calmly, "Is this one of your so-called 'failures,' too?"

Liu Zhiwei clenched his fists.

"Comeon, Zeo," said Jon, "it's all over, and today is my birthday."

Liu Zhiwei let go of his hands, looked at Jon and said, "I'm on the list, but my name at that time was 'Liu Zhi'."

Jon frowned.

"It's complicated."

"I love complex stories," Jon said.

Liu Zhiwei glanced at Jon twice, then lowered his head and continued to look at his fist. "There are actually two versions of "Broken Style"... After the first version was submitted to the radio and television for review, the second version was partially deleted on top of the first one," Liu Zhiwei said, "In the opening title of the second version, I The name was deleted - that segment was among the deleted segments. Brother Zhang - my first agent asked the producer, and the answer was 'accidental deletion'."

"Accident?" Jon said incredulously.

Liu Zhiwei twitched the corner of his mouth without a smile and said: "The movie became popular all over the country overnight. Liu Yi became popular because there are too many people who like him. Liu Yi's agent came to find my agent. He promised to give me better Audition opportunity, I hope my manager will not announce Liu Yi's stand-in status to the outside world."

"What?" Jon plucked his ears in disbelief

"My name is not in the film, so even if we disagree, there is nothing we can do about it, because I am just an unknown stand-in character, but Liu Yi...is already a very popular actor." Liu Zhiwei paused , "Did I forget to mention that Liu Yi and I used to be a brokerage company?"

"His previous economic company was called 'Xingyao'." Lu Yi didn't know when he sat up to listen. He knew more about Liu Zhiwei's career, and added to Jon, "Ten years ago, Xingyao was just A small start-up company."

Liu Zhiwei glanced at Lu Yi out of the corner of his eye, and gave a low "hmm".

"At that time, the most famous actor in the company was Liu Yi, and in the end it was Liu Yi who led the whole of Xingyao. In order to shape him, many artists in the company "sacrificed"," Liu Zhiwei said without any emotional ups and downs, "I was just unlucky , and became one of them. And Brother Zhang... did give me some good choices, but I didn't seize the opportunity."

"I remember that "Broken Style" was nominated for several international awards." Lu Yi said.

Liu Zhiwei lowered his head and smiled: "That's right, so at this time, no one will believe that an unknown young actor is the martial arts stand-in of 'Zhou Lang'. Because the company promotes all the scenes where Liu Yi starred in 'Zhou Lang' , and the credits don't even have the words 'martial arts stand-in'."

There was a look of shock and disbelief on Jon's face throughout.

He spread his hands on the quilt, opened his mouth wide and said to Lu Yi: "I told you that I think there is a story in it... Can you believe what you hear now?"

Lu Yi frowned and glanced at Jon: "Well, you're right."

Jon let out a ridiculous laugh.He was silent for a while, and said seriously: "I am very angry now."

Seeing Jon's face, Liu Zhiwei couldn't help laughing. He shrugged and said, "As you said, everything is over. I have a new start. I don't care about that anymore."

Jon held his breath, his two cheeks and his chest bulging like a goldfish again.

Liu Zhiwei came back to his senses and said, "By the way, I prepared a birthday present for you."

Jon's attention was diverted a little, and he asked seriously, "What birthday present?"

Liu Zhiwei took out a box from the bag beside him.

Jon took it apart and saw that it was a Polaroid.

Liu Zhiwei is not very used to others opening presents in front of him. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I don't know what to give...it was suggested by the shopping guide."

Maybe Jon has seen too many things that are too expensive for Liu Zhiwei, so he picked something that is more meaningful than valuable.

"Is it a camera?" Jon pressed a photo on Liu Zhiwei.

Liu Zhiwei was photographed looking at Jon's expression, and after a while, the camera spit out a black photo.

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

"Wow!" Jon was very curious about this, "I have never seen such a strange Polaroid before."

"...Because you like pink ones." Liu Zhiwei said with a wooden face.There is only one pink Polaroid in the audience, in the shape of a piggy, spitting photos out of its mouth.

Jon was surprised to see the image of Liu Zhiwei gradually appearing in the photo: "Great! Thank you!" He stuffed the Polaroid into Lu Yi's hand, hugged Liu Zhiwei and said to Lu Yi: " Get one for both of us!"

Lu Yi, a serious and slightly yuppie middle-aged man, holds a pink piggy camera in his hand, and the picture can be as beautiful as it is.

Liu Zhiwei couldn't see it.

With a cold face, Lu Yi pressed the shutter when Liu Zhiwei couldn't hold back his laughter, and handed back the camera and photos to Jon.

Jon flicked around the photos, taking pictures continuously while Liu Zhiwei was lighting candles for him, and used up all the photos in a short while.

That night, after Liu Zhiwei left, Jon flipped through all the photos one by one, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.He sent a text message to Liu Zhiwei:

"Thank you Zeo, one of the happiest birthdays I've ever had."

While putting down the phone, Jon turned on the computer.Rick appeared across from the computer.

"Boss, when Roger searched for movies, there was an information link through China Radio and Television. The fact that the movie "Broken Style" appeared in his list meant that it must have appeared in that information link. Whether it is 'Liu Zhi' or 'Liu Zhiwei', Roger has searched for both, so his list is more complete than that of Li Du in the portrait comparison."

Jon raised an eyebrow, brushed his forehead back with his hands, and leaned his elbows on the armrest beside him: "Then find all the versions of "Broken Style"."

Rick whistled, put two fingers to his brow and saluted cheerfully: "Yes, sir!"

======================

Someone in the comments mentioned the language feeling confusing.

Friends who have not encountered any problems in reading can just skip the following paragraph.

Jon and Zhiwei speak English, Lu Yi and Liu Zhiwei speak Chinese alone, and the three of them basically speak English together.A question of basic etiquette.At the beginning, I remember it was mentioned in the article.When Liu Zhiwei spoke Chinese in the presence of Jon, I also explained in the article that Jon would use single quotation marks "" when speaking Chinese, such as "husband is not 'brother'", and Lu Yi Speaking of a very localized word like "get together", Jon also asked examples such as "what do you mean?" Of course, there are some things that are easier to understand. Nothing will be added.I thought everyone got it but it looks like some readers might find it confusing.

Let me give you a few examples to tell you why I am writing like this now.

Feedback 1: "From a reader's point of view, when the characters switch language and when the characters switch mentality is really unpredictable. It is really confusing from the text alone."

Example 1:

Jon said in English: "..."

Liu Zhiwei said in English: "..."

Jon said in English "...'AA' (Chinese)..."

Liu Zhiwei thought in Chinese in his head: "..."

Liu Zhiwei said in Chinese: "..."

Feel it yourself :)

Feedback 2: "It's true that some places are quite confusing. After all, the reader is not you, so you can't take it for granted to understand the setting of the article"/"I don't mind if you can really change everything to English."

Example 2:

Jon said: "My present at this moment in this world is to witness the present of the planet, of my existence, of my mind (at this time I will feel that my only meaning in this world is to witness the existence of this planet, witness my existence, and witness the existence of my thoughts)."

"René Descartes (Descartes)..." Liu Zhiwei said.

"Jepense, doncjesuis (I think therefore I am)," Jon said, "the most illusory and realistic philosophical proposition (this is a philosophical proposition that makes me feel the most illusory and the most real)."

"Why?" Liu Zhiwei turned to look at Jon.The bonfire hadn't been extinguished yet, and the red light reflected Jon's side face, outlining a deep outline.

"I proved myself (I proved my existence)," Jon said, "Thenwhat (but what's the use of that)?"

Then the whole story is the interaction and dialogue between Jon and Zhiwei, you can feel it again :)

Can you feel the imbalance between articles and sentences?The plot will also be distracted, and I'm afraid more readers will protest.

So I won't drop my book bag, I hope everyone can understand the language relationship between these people by explaining here.Once switched to Chinese, of course it will be written.

Of course, if you encounter any chapters that you find confusing and difficult to understand than other chapters, I will also mark them, and you can mention them to me in the comments.I'll consider adding some words of explanation.

If you don’t encounter any understanding problems, just ignore it~
