business couple dancing
Chapter 19 The Past
A few days later, Lu Xiumu received an audition invitation for "The Wedding Banquet".
Gao Xin was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, holding Lu Xiumu's face in his hands, he couldn't stop boasting: "A good face is an advantage, and you can win the role with just a photo!"
Lu Xiumu knocked off his hand speechlessly: "It's just an audition, it's hard to say who will get the role in the end."
"Do you think you are still an unknown little guy?" Gao Xin was full of confidence, "This role is probably yours, and the audition is just a cutscene, otherwise I wouldn't bother you to make a trip."
As a result, when he arrived at the audition venue the next day, Gao Xin was completely dumbfounded when he saw the crowd of people.
Lu Xiumu took the number stickers from the staff and glued them neatly on his clothes.He raised his head and smiled lightly at Gao Xin: "Nine out of ten are mine?"
Gao Xin: "..."
Lu Xiumu: "Just going through the motions?"
Gao Xin: "..."
"Director Jiang is indeed Director Jiang." He lowered his voice and leaned closer to Lu Xiumu's ear, "I just saw Wang Ze and Xie Yu, the three of you with the most popular traffic gathered together... No matter who gets the role, the remaining two They cannot escape the fate of being ridiculed by the crowd."
Lu Xiumu looked at the few people who were talking not far away. They didn't seem to be very old, and the excitement was palpable. It seemed that they were children who had just entered the industry not long ago.
He withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "Maybe none of the three of us can take this role."
Gao Xinliang hissed loudly: "Then you will see a rare spectacle—the fans of the three streams shake hands and make peace, and work together to denounce the famous director for his lack of vision."
The corner of Lu Xiumu's mouth curled into an arc: "If you want to tear it up, it's the two of them who want to tear it up, and it has nothing to do with me."
"...what do you mean?"
"Didn't I have been kicked out of the ranks of the traffic because of my relationship?" Lu Xiumu said.
"Ancestor!" Gao Xin covered his mouth and looked around, "At least pay attention to the occasion before speaking. You think the fire like spring breeze is not burning enough, and you want to add more firewood?"
Lu Xiumu didn't intend to add fuel, but Gao Xin's words also reminded him.There are quite a few amateurs present, and he is a physique that is frequently searched for every day. If he stays any longer, he may cause riots.
The two returned the nanny car and asked Xiaowen to queue.
The bright light climbed into the narrow space through the dead leaves, and the incomplete shadows hit the people's faces, and the refracted light would dazzle the eyes if they were not careful.
Lu Xiumu squinted his eyes for a while, and took off the sunglasses pinned in his coat pocket.
"This doesn't look like a movie audition..." Gao Xin pointed out the window, "It's clearly the exam room for the college entrance examination."
Lu Xiumu's fingertips pinched the temples of his glasses unconsciously.
"I knew I should be wearing red today." Gao Xin tugged at the hem of his clothes, "It seems that the parents who are taking the exam wear it like this. It's auspicious."
"I don't know, I haven't taken the college entrance examination." Lu Xiumu said.
Gao Xin was taken aback, and quickly turned to look at him, only to see Lu Xiumu wearing a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. The black lenses covered the emotions in his eyes completely.
Lu Xiumu added: "Even if I have taken the exam, no parent will send me to take the exam."
"..." Gao Xin felt sore and slapped himself, "Look at my mouth..."
Just as he was racking his brains to say something to ease the atmosphere, Lu Xiumu suddenly smiled: "Does it hurt to slap yourself? It's not a taboo topic, so don't deliberately avoid it."
But the more relaxed Lu Xiumu was, the less Gao Xin knew what to say.
Just looking at Lu Xiumu's current social status, he can be regarded as a winner in life who "want money, money, and fame".Compared with those people who have spent their whole life in the circle and only have a pronoun of "drama", Lu Xiumu is considered lucky.
Paradoxically, however, the source of all his luck came from his unfortunate family experience.
Lu's parents got acquainted because of the "compulsory marriage policy". Either because of their busy work or because of their emotional bluntness, they both dragged themselves into the ranks of "older youths".
Originally, there were three marriageable Omegas who had a high degree of compatibility with Lu's father, but Lu's mother did not have such good luck. If she missed Lu's father, she would be burdened with a huge fine.
Under such pressure, Lu's mother tried every means to get a chance to meet Lu's father.
When men and women who embrace "entering the palace of marriage" meet for the first time, all good impressions depend on each other's looks.Coincidentally, God looked at both of them differently when he created things.
Due to the perfect appearance of the "other half", this "forced marriage" is tainted with "willingness".
It's a pity that a delicate face is of no use when facing daily necessities.The huge difference in living habits caused the Lu family to fall into endless quarrels. It seemed that where to squeeze the toothpaste, how soft or hard the steamed rice was, and what time the room was cleaned every day could all become the fuse of loud abuse, and then the already thin His "love" also gradually turned into "disgust" amidst red faces.
After Lu Xiumu was born, Mother Lu never fulfilled her conjugal obligations, and she didn't even want to give pheromones to her nominal husband.
All the estrous/estrous and susceptible periods have become a means for the Lu family's parents to torture each other, but they have to continue to pretend to love each other because of legal sanctions.
Trapped in a vortex of despair, Father Lu began to regret—if he had married the other two Omega back then, would the ending have been different?
Mother Lu also started to complain - if I knew you were such a person, I would rather be in debt than risk my life.
No one can argue for right and wrong, and no one is the lucky one in this cruel marriage.
So this also laid a certain foundation for the marriage of the Lu family's parents to perish. On the second day after the "forced marriage policy" was banned, Lu Xiumu saw a long-lost smile on his mother's face.She was in a really good mood and bought new toys for Lu Xiumu.
The young Lu Xiumu didn't understand what this meant, and simply thought it was a signal that his parents would stop quarreling.As a result, the woman who said "Mom likes you" one moment disappeared from this family the next moment.
The decision to divorce didn't have much impact on Lu's father, but on the contrary, he felt a sense of relief at last.But feelings are the most difficult thing in the world to figure out. When the quarrel finally calmed down, Father Lu couldn't help but miss that beautiful woman who was drifting away.
Regardless of whether they were blinded by each other's appearance at the beginning, they also had an unforgettable promise for a lifetime.
Human nature is very contradictory.When you get along day and night, you "enjoy" the pleasure of words that hurt each other, but after you separate, you will inevitably regret talking too hard.
This was based on a liking that he hadn't recognized for a while, and it also turned Father Lu into the most ridiculous clown.
Regret and remorse made him excessively addicted to the past, and his sanity also fell apart in despair. The most obvious manifestation was that he began to lose control of his pheromones.
The undifferentiated Lu Xiumu couldn't feel this kind of direct physiological change, but he could also tell from the broken cup and saucer that his father was in a bad mood.Cowardly, he climbed onto his father's knee, held his bloody fingertips lightly with his small hand, and said, "Blow it, it doesn't hurt!"
Father Lu, who was out of control, looked at his mother's face, and hit Lu Xiumu for the first time.His eyes were flushed red, and his voice sounded like the roar of a ferocious animal trapped in a cage: "You were the one who approached me first, why did you leave first without any burden?!"
A question that can never be answered, but also full of infinite sorrow.
After venting, his reason was temporarily cleared up. Father Lu hugged Lu Xiumu tightly, his lips trembling uncontrollably: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry Xiumu...I, I didn't mean to..."
Warm tears fell on Lu Xiumu's face. He didn't understand why he suffered such an innocent disaster, but seeing his father in such pain, he still chose to forgive.
But when intermittent "crazyness" becomes the norm, forgiveness becomes irrelevant.Amidst the capricious punching and kicking and regretful apologies, the two tried hard to maintain the family line called "father and son".
But there are some things that no matter how hard you try, you can't change the ending.Lu Xiumu, who was in adolescence, ushered in the first differentiation. He generally differentiated into Omega according to the doctor's guess at birth. Lu's father also prepared inhibitors and barrier sprays in advance.
But the power of genes was fully reflected at this time. Not only did Lu Xiumu look like his mother, but even the smell of pheromones was almost the same as hers.
This unexpected situation made the already unstable Father Lu even more out of control. If Lu Xiumu hadn't knocked him out in time, I'm afraid that "domestic violence" would turn into an "ethical farce".
After thinking about it again and again, Lu Xiumu asked for help from his mother whom he had not contacted for a long time.When he dialed that strange number, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and he even predicted what his mother would say in the first sentence.
"Hey?"
An immature child's voice cut off Lu Xiumu's fantasy, "Who are you looking for?"
Lu Xiumu was stunned, and instinctively reported his mother's name.
"Are you looking for my mother?" The other party's voice was very soft, and it sounded like a child who grew up soaked in a sugar jar. "She is going to my parent-teacher meeting. You can pull it out later."
Lu Xiumu couldn't remember how he cut off the phone, and he forgot what he said later. The only thing he figured out was the reason why his mother didn't take the initiative to contact him after she left.
He was that abandoned child.
Not because he wasn't good enough, just because he was the product of a wrong marriage.
This cognition made him even more desperate - the problem did not lie with himself, so no matter how he changed, he would not be able to get Lu's mother's love.
……
Gao Xin was alone for a while, looking at the quiet person in the back seat of the car through the rearview mirror: "I still remember the first time I saw you in the company, you seemed to be just then?"
"Yeah." Lu Xiumu leaned back in his chair, "I saw on the Internet that you recruited trainees, with food and lodging included, and a monthly refund of [-]."
Gao Xin looked at his strong jaw line, and in an instant, the person in front of him perfectly overlapped with Lu Xiumu.
That day, Gao Xin opened his personal information and looked up and down at the slightly green boy.
"Lu Xiumu... has a good name."
"Thank you." Lu Xiumu frowned.
Seeing that he didn't have the restraint of other children, Gao Xin couldn't help feeling a little more fond of him: "Cai, why don't you continue to go to school?"
"The grades are not good." Lu Xiumu said frankly, "and I can't get a scholarship, and my family can't afford the tuition."
At first, Gao Xin didn't take it seriously. The trainees he brought were counted according to the basket, and it was inevitable that there were some difficult conditions.
"Why do you want to do this?" He asked again.
"You guys gave me a lot of money." Lu Xiumu's smile dropped by two points, and he lowered his eyes, "I really need money."
It's not a dream, it's not out of liking, it's just a simple word.
Gao Xin was taken aback for a moment, the more unabashed his attitude, the more eager he was.Only then did he realize that the child in front of him might be even more short of money than he had imagined.
5000 yuan is the tuition fee for a year in colleges and universities, a good computer for comparison among peers, and even just a meal in the circle.
But for Lu Xiumu, it meant three high-concentration Alpha inhibitors.
Gao Xin was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, holding Lu Xiumu's face in his hands, he couldn't stop boasting: "A good face is an advantage, and you can win the role with just a photo!"
Lu Xiumu knocked off his hand speechlessly: "It's just an audition, it's hard to say who will get the role in the end."
