High Leng Xueba is a coquettish monster

The days gradually got on the right track.

Lu Qing still sends photos of what he ate every day to Qi Ran as usual, sometimes he is too busy studying and forgets to send, Qi Ran will always send a reminder message at an approximate time.

After seeing the photo, the other party will always send a word of "good", and then ask him some questions such as "Is this dish delicious?", "Why did you eat it so late today?".

He would reply most of the time, not much, but it was more than "um." "Yes." and so on.

Over time, Lu Qing found that he habitually took out his mobile phone to take a picture before every meal, and sometimes even took the initiative to comment on the taste of the dishes.

Habit is a terrible thing, he thought.

Lu Shilin still went to "No. [-]" three or four times a week as usual. Since the last quarrel broke up, the conversation between them has become less and less, but Lu Shilin will still call Lu Qing in advance to let him come "Number Nine" picked him up.

Every time Lu Qing comes, he can see Qi Ran. The other party usually sits on the sofa with his legs crossed. When he sees him coming, he will raise a ruffian smile, wave to him, and go over to chat with him for a while. God.

As they agreed, Lu Qing would sometimes help the bar serve dishes and clean up, and sometimes there would be too much homework, so he would quietly do his homework in the corner.

In his "exclusive" seat, every time he comes, he can see a blooming red rose.

Under the dim light of the bar, the dark red rose always has a bewitching taste, which makes people think about it.

The English drama at No. [-] Middle School was also in full swing. As the competition time approached, Lu Qing also had to spend more time correcting his pronunciation and pondering the effect of the performance.

Pronunciation of English is not a problem, and the location and movements of the live performance have also been discussed clearly.

But now the biggest problem is:

Lu Qing found that he could not fit into the role of Lysander at all.

He overestimated himself, and he couldn't say to Cheng Lili, "What a beautiful woman, I would go through fire and water for you."

Not even English.

After the rehearsal for the day's routine was over, Lu Qing received a call from Lu Shilin asking him to go to the bar.

He gestured to his classmates, then picked up his schoolbag and rode his bicycle to "No. [-]".

"Number Nine" is still the same as when it first came, with colorful lights twining around the black iron sheet, messy and coquettish totems printed on the cloth curtain at the door, against the night, revealing a silent temptation.

He opened the curtain and walked in. He didn't look around as usual, but he saw the man standing at the bar shaking wine at a glance.

The scene in front of him strangely coincided with the night when they had their first conversation. Qi Ran was still not wearing clothes specially designed for bartending, his hair was sloppily tied into a small knot at the back of his head, and the light reflected from the glass bottle behind him hit him The light on his body is chaotic and blurred, and there is an evil spirit.

The only difference is that the upturned corners of this person's eyes and mouth have become more presumptuous, and there is no concealment in his eyes, but a hint of flamboyance.

Seeing Lu Qing coming in, Qi Ran kept shaking the wine, raised his head towards him, and signaled him to come over.

Lu Qing walked over and sat down on the bar chair in front of Qi Ran.

As soon as he sat down, a glass of milk was placed in front of him.

Qi Ran had already handed the shaken wine to another customer. He was propping up the bar with his arms at this moment, looking at him with crooked eyes and saying, "Kids can't drink alcohol, they can only drink milk."

Lu Qing frowned, he didn't like to hear the word "wine", it reminded him of Lu Shilin.

He pouted: "I don't know how to drink."

Qi Ran smiled and did not continue the topic, "You, do you still have to do your homework today?"

Lu Qing nodded, "Yeah." After thinking about it, he added, "There's a lot of homework."

"Okay." Qi Ran withdrew his arms and put his hands on his hips, "Then go ahead and do it, I won't bother you anymore."

Lu Qing didn't say anything else, picked up the milk and was about to walk to his "exclusive" seat, when he raised his eyes, his body suddenly froze.

He saw Lu Shilin in the corner of the bar who was drinking high, the man waved his hand unconsciously and muttered something.

He was a little surprised, because he found that he only realized the purpose of coming to "Number Nine" at this moment.

He came to pick up Lu Shilin, but from the moment he walked into "No. [-]", he never noticed where Lu Shilin was.

...but he saw Qi Ran at first sight.

This discovery made Lu Qing very shocked, his legs went limp uncontrollably, and he even staggered. He tried his best to stabilize his center of gravity, and walked towards the table with roses in a bit of embarrassment.

He didn't notice that Qi Ran was watching him from behind.

After confirming that Lu Qing sat down on the chair, Qi Ran took the phone out of his pocket, pressed the power button, and brought up the chat history with Fang Huailiang.

Ran: Fang Huailiang, what happened to your school?Lu Qing has so much homework recently

LP Liang: Huh?impossible!Recently, it is very time-consuming for them to rehearse English dramas. I specifically asked the teachers to reduce the amount of homework!

Chat history stopped for a few minutes.

Burning: what drama

LP Liang: A Midsummer Night's Dream, Lysander played by Lu Qing

LP Liang: Oh yes, Helena played by Cheng Lili

Qi Ran just stared at the few words and looked back and forth several times before turning his eyes away. He held the phone tightly a few times, and looked at Lu Qing with dim eyes.

The kid didn't want him to know about drama.

He couldn't think of the reason for a while, what did Lu Qing notice?Or just find it troublesome?

But no matter what, he felt that his heart was blocked, as if his heart was pressed into a tank full of water, making him unable to breathe.

Qi Ran lowered his eyes, threw himself on the sofa behind him, and didn't look at his phone anymore, just staring at Lu Qing's homework in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but when he saw that Lu Qing finally closed the pen cap, he stretched his long legs and walked towards Lu Qing.

As he walked, he said, "Have you finished writing?"

Lu Qing was obviously startled by the sudden voice, turned around and saw that the person was Qi Ran, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he nodded, "Yes."

"You guys have so much homework!" Qi Ran sat on the chair opposite to Lu Qing, and said again: "I heard from your homeroom teacher that you are rehearsing some English drama recently, and it's almost a competition, and why does he give you so much homework? "

Lu Qing raised his head to look at him in surprise, and said after a while: "Well...he has higher demands on us."

The other party didn't speak for a while, as if he was digesting something. When his eyes turned around on the ceiling, he heard his voice: "Is that so... What are you doing in your drama?"

Lu Qing obviously hesitated, but he was too embarrassed not to say anything. He hesitated for a while before saying, "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

"Oh." Qi Ran nodded pretending to understand, "Are you playing Lysander?"

"……Um."

Seeing that Lu Qing lowered his head again, Qi Ran didn't say anything else. He cast his eyes on the table and saw several white papers stacked together.

"What is this? Your script?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Qing to answer, he directly took the few pieces of paper over. At this moment, Lu Qing came to his senses, and just as he was about to reach out to stop him, the paper was already in Qi Ran's hands.

Qi Ran looked at the paper, it was a stack of several sheets of paper stapled together, the paper was carefully annotated, and Lysander's lines were marked out with a blue highlighter.

Lu Qing saw that the script had been taken away, so he didn't struggle, and replied to him: "Yes. I was memorizing it just now."

"Already memorized?" Qi Ran asked.

"almost."

"Is that so." Qi Ran narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly changed to English, "Dear father, don't you love me anymore? Please don't give up on me."

Lu Qing blinked, and didn't understand what it meant for a while. The man in front of him was lazily leaning on the back of the chair, holding the script in his hand, and was reciting the English on it. The pronunciation was very standard. The entrustment made him stunned for a moment.

After he reacted, the man had moved his eyes to him, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "It's your turn, Lysander."

"……what?"

Qi Ran burst out laughing, the boy's dazed appearance was really cute, "Little friend, don't look at me like this, I was in a lot of English dramas when I was in college."

He laughed again and raised his eyebrows: "Check if you really know it by heart."

The jazz playing in the bar seemed to be louder.

Lu Qing felt that he should go forward and grab the script at this time. After all, all this is out of his consideration now. He was not going to tell Qi Ran about the drama because he didn't want to make things more troublesome. .

But obviously, it has become a bit troublesome now, but this can be remedied, he feels, as long as he is tougher.

However, under the dim light, cheerful jazz music was playing softly in my ears, and a delicate red rose was standing within reach. The man was looking at him gently with a smile on his face.

He suddenly didn't know how to say it, he just wanted to follow Qi Ran's words.

"... Hermia, don't be afraid, listen to me, tomorrow night, I will wait for you in the woods a few miles away, if you really... love me, come and escape this sad city with me"

He saw the arc of Qi Ran's mouth deepen, and then heard the other party's deep voice: "I will, because I... love you so much."

Lu Qing froze, Qi Ran didn't read the script when he said this, but looked at him, the shadow cast by bangs covered Qi Ran's eyes, making him unable to see the other's face clearly.

"Next sentence." Qi Ran said, "Little friend."

Lu Qing suddenly trembled, and then said the next sentence involuntarily: "It's a deal, honey, Helena is here, I have to go first."

Qi Ran didn't continue, but stood up slightly to the tune of jazz, moved slowly and leaned against the table, still holding the script in his hand, looked sideways at Lu Qing, and said slowly: "The pronunciation is good, but... ...seemed to have no emotion."

"You can't perform a drama like this." He gradually moved his face closer to Lu Qing, and the words he said felt indescribable under the backdrop of the blurred background of the bar. He only heard him say: "I am your beloved Hermia Think about it, I am now experiencing a choice between reality and my dream, you should feel sorry for me, Lysander?"

"You should say to me lovingly: 'It's a deal, honey.'"

Qi Ran uttered these words almost bewitchingly, and before he knew it, his and Lu Qing's faces were almost pressed together, the boy's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes were undisguisedly dazed.

Qi Ran blew on his eyes, straightened his body suddenly, moved a few steps away, and picked up the script in his hand, "Act [-], Scene [-], Lysander, is yours."

Lu Qing was still in a daze without saying a word, Qi Ran snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, and sat down on the sofa beside him.

Lu Qing's stuttering voice sounded: "...Hermia, you are trekking in the forest, you are so tired that you are about to fall asleep, let us..."

"Just do what you want."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Ran snatched it away. Qi Ran seemed a little anxious, with his hands resting on the table, and his fingers were tapping on the table following the rhythm of jazz.

Lu Qing glanced at Qi Ran, then quickly put it aside, and said, "...good night, dear, may sleep give you enough..."

He read more and more slowly, and in the end, he couldn't pronounce the last word no matter what.

In a place that he couldn't see, Qi Ran's fingers tapping the table didn't move, the corners of his mouth raised even more, and there was a certain energy in his eyes.

"No way." Qi Ran's soft voice sounded, "There is still no emotion."

Qi Ran withdrew his fingers, and simply put his whole arm on the table, turned around and leaned towards Lu Lu, pretending to sigh helplessly: "Oh, what can I do?"

In the next second, he suddenly changed his mood again, glanced at the script, and then stared at Lu Qing, with a hint of sadness in his eyes: "This infatuated pursuit makes me breathless, the more I beg, the more I will Annoy him. Who is lying on the ground, Lysander, and is he dead or alive? If you are alive, wake up."

Qi Ran looked at him, and the unequivocal sadness in his eyes rushed straight into Lu Qing's eyes. He froze for a moment, his pupils dilated slightly, and his mouth opened slightly uncontrollably.

"Now I am Helena." The sadness in Qi Ran's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a full smile.

But Lu Qing only felt that he was completely unable to think. Qi Ran's aura was too close to him, and the fresh smell from the other party was all in the air, which was incompatible with the somewhat chaotic environment, but unexpectedly filled his mind .

He couldn't even control what he said: "...you are not, Helena is Cheng—"

Qi Ran directly put the script on his lips, their noses were close to each other, and Qi Ran's voice rang in Lu Qing's ears: "I am your Helena."

"Come on, tell me." Qi Ran took the script away, breathed on Lu Qing's lips, and the words he spoke became English, "What a beautiful woman, I would go through fire and water for you."

"Remember to be affectionate, kid."

But Lu Qing did not say that his mind is now full of the charming jazz in the bar, and Qi Ran's good smell.

He couldn't hear what Qi Ran was saying at all.

"What? Can't you say it?" Qi Ran's "buzzing" voice sounded again, "Then I'll teach you."

After speaking, he stood up slightly, and put his hands directly on the wall behind Lu Qing. Looking from behind, it seemed that he was firmly locked in his arms.

Lu Qing also uncontrollably took a step back because of the other party's sudden approach, and leaned against the wall. Qi Ran looked down at him, with a smile on his lips, and undisguised tenderness and fanaticism in his eyes. The light hits his hair, and there's a gold rim around his silhouette.

The jazz seemed to be at its climax, the tuba was playing with a thick voice, and a string of notes crashed into Lu Qing's heart lake like a bean-sized raindrop.

"Think of me as you, my Helena." Qi Ran's almost enthusiastic voice sounded, and there was a madness in it that he couldn't understand: "What a beautiful woman, I would go through fire and water for you."

"And now I am Lysander again."

Lu Qing followed him with his eyes, and said in a daze: "You, you are not..."

"I'm not." Qi Ran said firmly, "You are, you are Lysander."

"So tell me, tell Helena," Qi Ran approached Lu Qing's red ears, spraying hot air on them, "What a beautiful woman, I would go through fire and water for you."

Sweat dripped from the corner of Lu Qing's forehead, his cheeks were flushed, he swallowed a few times of saliva, and his heart was beating thumpingly in the small space circled by Qi Ran.

He felt a little out of breath, opened his mouth wide, and said tremblingly: "...What a beautiful woman, I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

Qi Ran suddenly smiled in his ear, the stubble at the corner of his mouth seemed to pierce his ear, and said leisurely: "Good boy."

"Lu Qing." Qi Ran called him softly.

"If you can't look at Cheng Lili, just think of her as me."

"Think of Cheng Lili as me."

Lu Qing couldn't see his face, and the fuzzy words in his mind kept bumping indiscriminately, almost making him lose consciousness. His eyes were lost, and he didn't know what was coming out from the bottom of his heart.

How did Qi Ran know that Helena was played by Cheng Lili?
