Meet the man of the year again
If he hadn't heard Xie Qingcheng's voice coming from next door at that moment.
--
"It's okay, I'll give you a ride." Xie Qingcheng said.
"Brother, why don't you sleep a little longer, you didn't get much sleep last night."
"Don't talk so much, let's go, I'm fine today, I can rest just as well when I come back." Xie Qingcheng's voice stopped for a moment, "Where is your suitcase?"
"Inside the closet."
"Shall I take it with me then? Or are you coming back for it this afternoon."
"I'm not coming back, I have to go straight after the shoot, my mom said that Grandpa and the others are arriving in Huzhou tonight."
"OK." Xie Qingcheng said, "I'll hold it for you, let's go."
The door opens and closes, and the footsteps of two people, along with the rollers of a suitcase, drift away.
He Yu suddenly got up and sat on the bed with his hair slightly disheveled.
He heard it right - Xie Qingcheng accompanied Chen Man to the B group.
Yesterday Chen Man came to see Xie Qingcheng and today Xie Qingcheng went to see him off.
Chen Man, the dead faggot, disgusted himself on his way out.
He Yu was reluctant to continue lying in his room and decided to get up and go out in spite of the fever, the desire for tyranny and bloodlust that burned so brightly in his heart.
He's going to be there too.
The last scene Chen Man directed was a scene at the police academy, a large group scene with hundreds of actors and actresses to keep an eye on, shot on location at the nearby police academy.
By the time He Yu primped himself, the morning sun was already shining, they had already shot a section, and were now adjusting the positions of some of the group actors, while the others who hadn't had their turn were resting.
There were so many people that He Yu didn't see Xie Qingcheng at first, and after looking around, he realized that Chen Man and the man were standing under a white plum tree.
Xie Qingcheng, with his back to him, was saying something to Chen Man in the sunset.
He Yu was a bit far away and could only faintly hear what they were saying.
"...... It's okay brother, it's an act anyway, and you can't shoot your face."
Xie Qingcheng was talking, but He Yu did not hear him.
Chen Man smiled more brightly, "You're just cajoling me as a kill gift for me?"
This time Xie Qingcheng's voice could be heard, "You're not an actor, what do you need for a killing gift."
What does Chen Man want for his wedding present?
He Yu could see it clearly when he got closer.
Just at this time, Xie Qingcheng also turned around - what met his eyes was no longer the upright back, but Xie Qingcheng's handsome face.
He Yu couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
Xie Qingcheng is actually wearing a police academy uniform.
The man's police cap was pressed slightly lower, hiding his deep black eyes in the shadow of the brim, and his silver buckle belt was tightly tied, his waistline was completely outlined. This body of navy blue winter formal dress will his body lined extraordinarily slender, temperament is more and more stern cold sharp, strict and rigorous.
Under the white plum tree, he turned around, but I don't know whether the flowers are more penetrating cold, or people are more penetrating cold.
When Xie Qingcheng turned around, the wind picked up, and a few white plums fell, like a light snowfall, and the snow blew over his uniform. His eyes glanced over and caught a glimpse of He Yu, and he was slightly stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand, straightened the brim of his hat, and simply turned his eyes away from He Yu again.
He really didn't want to see him.
He Yu didn't have to think hard to realize why Xie Qingcheng was dressed like this--
Although the group actors have to go to the group in advance to make up and change clothes, but this kind of police cadet modern styling is actually very convenient, basically do not have to toss too much, especially Xie Qingcheng this kind of clothes rack, change a uniform can also be. He came to accompany Chen Man, but standing idly by the side is always a bit uncomfortable, so he followed Chen Man's wishes, also went to do the scene in one of the group acting, anyway, it is a distant view, just to make up the number, there will be no clear face put out.
Xie Qingcheng wouldn't have agreed to any other acting role, but the navy blue uniform was a dream he longed for when he was young, but eventually gave up. To have such an opportunity for him to wear the full uniform in the theater is more or less a kind of reward for his obsession.
He Yu look accustomed to the appearance of his doctor's uniform, the bookish air is very heavy, despite the cold, but the snow-white robe let him figure between more or less revealed some holy temperament.
But he didn't realize that Xie Qingcheng's more appropriate was actually a police uniform.
He was too upright, whether it was the epaulettes, the belt, the silver buckle, or the deep navy blue uniform formal suit pants, all of them just claimed his dry temperament. The police uniform is much slimmer than the doctor's uniform, his broad shoulders and long legs are strung out in the most beautiful and clean lines, the whole person is like a winter night frosty bayonet, sharp, cold, the frosty edge of a tilt, the moonlight cold flow.
He Yu has a high fever caused by a mental illness, a fever he is used to and it doesn't affect him too much.
But in this moment he felt his blood run hot.
Xie Qingcheng was put into uniform at the request of Chen Man.
He's wearing it for Chen Man.
If I hadn't followed you here, I wouldn't have seen anything.
The thought gnawed at He Yu's heart.
Although Xie Qingcheng had clearly put "no need to talk nonsense" on his face, He Yu still walked over to him.
"Xie Qingcheng."
Chen Man turned back to him and saw him, a smile on his face, "What can I do for you?"
He Yu did not share half an inch of Mr. Chen's gaze as he walked over and stood a step in front of Xie Qingcheng, looking at the person in front of him with his eyelashes downcast.
Then he raised his hand ......
"Snap."
The wrist was held by Xie Qingcheng.
Xie Qingcheng, who was even sharper in his navy blue aura of coldness, stared back at him and asked him, "Do you have something to do."
He Yu quietly let him hold his wrist.
He's sick. He's all hot and bothered.
Xie Qingcheng held his wrist, he could not believe that Xie Qingcheng could not feel it.
They just stared at each other.
He Yu doesn't even know how cold and hard Xie Qingcheng's heart is, his sickness and fever just penetrate straight into Xie Qingcheng's chest, but Xie Qingcheng doesn't ask him a single question.
He waited a long time.
Xie Qingcheng just doesn't ask him a single question.
The only thing he said to him was just exactly the same as Chen Man.
--What's the matter with you?
The dark scent of the white plum's cold and awe-inspiring fragrance floated and ghosted in this moment.
He Yu finally smiled faintly, proudly, yet sadly, and said, "Nothing. Nothing."
He broke away from Xie Qingcheng's hand and twisted a cold plum that had fallen on Xie Qingcheng's shoulder patch.
"I just, saw a plum blossom fall on your shoulder."
He turned on his heel after that and walked away, but the plum blossom was not lost between his fingers; it was put into his coat pocket as if he had forgotten to throw it away.
The shooting of this big group scene was very long, He Yu suddenly came and was seen by the creators, who immediately arranged for him to sit in the studio.
He Yu was thirsty for blood at the onset of his illness, and sitting in a crowd was tantamount to putting a vampire among the living, so naturally he refused.
He could not see Xie Qingcheng in the crowd during the official shooting, and after thinking about it, he decided to leave and go to the A team, which was also shooting the fighting and blasting scenes in the police academy, to take a look.
This is indeed the right choice, the A-team didn't use too many people today, the scenes weren't too big, but what was to be filmed was all very bloody and intense.
The camera protagonist is being chased by people, guns blazing knives flashing, blood splattering, there are a few large-scale shots, the camera chased too close, props fake plasma are directly soaring on top of the camera, to the screen covered with a starry mottled.
He Yu looked more or less a palliative effect, he these scenes as a tranquilizer, and so the director shouted stop, re-racking the machine position, he simply got up and went to the scene to walk, although that full of bright red is false, look also comfortable.
While wandering around, He Yu's eyes overheard a group show.
It was a woman, with a large portion of her hair gray, wearing a floral cotton cotton jacket, playing the part of a crowd fleeing from a chaotic scene.
As soon as He Yu's eyes touched her, he paused for a moment on her face, and for some reason, he seemed to find the woman somewhat familiar.
But there are many similar-looking people in the world, so He Yu didn't care too much and calmly moved his eyes away again.
After a few seconds--
He Yu suddenly stiffened violently! There seemed to be some memory in his mind that was suddenly polished.
He immediately turned back to the woman and stared intently into her face.
You can't go wrong with ......!
Despite the fact that a long time had passed, that she looked even more wretched and aged than she had back then, that wrinkles had rusted her face so that none of her features were as clear as they had been back then, He Yu still recognized her.
Because he watched Xie Qingcheng's video of the Cantonment Tower on repeat, far too many times.
This woman--
It was the same "patient" who argued with Xie Qingcheng in the video!
Most of the group's actors were listlessly paralyzed during breaks.
This woman is no exception.
The woman has little education, but loves to act, and after almost thirty years of escaping from an unhappy marriage in her hometown, she has never gone back. When she first came to the city, she was filled with enthusiasm, hoping that she would become a familiar character in the future.
However not everyone has the life of a protagonist, and she's been a drag queen her whole life.
The only high point she has is her own argument with that doctor in the medical malpractice video that went viral like a virus on the Internet after the Cantonment Tower case broke.
The woman is an illiterate, illiterate, not very good at the Internet, not to mention the woman who grew up in the yellow earth, in the end, still stained with some earthy simplicity. She is not so heartless to want to climb this video to become famous. But she was still happy to say to those around her, "Did you see that video? That guy arguing with the doctor is me ......"
If someone continued to ask her out of curiosity, she would explain again in a thick accent.
"I was scared too ...... but ......"
The woman's accent was so heavy and her speech so topsy-turvy that many people didn't want to continue after hearing the beginning, and many more listened to the end without knowing what she was saying.
So everyone went from being curious at first, to apathy very quickly.
The drag queens who have become acquainted with her recently have taken to calling her Mrs. Xianglin.
They used to tease her, "Mrs. Xianglin, what happened in the first place? What kind of illness did you go to see?"
"It's not that simple--"
The woman was anxious to explain at first.
Then it dawned on her that everyone just didn't even believe her and was poking fun at her.
She just smiled back, an embarrassed red bruising in her wrinkles, and mumbled not to go on.
"It's kinda like Mrs. Xianglin snapping at her." Someone said this about her.
The woman was well aware that the crew would be tired from tossing and turning, and was now taking advantage of the racking position, heading for the shade of the corridor to sit on the ground and crook, not caring if it was dirty or not, it was important to feed her spirit.
Unexpectedly, someone whispered to her, "Hello."
She froze and turned back to meet He Yu's face.
Just by looking at the face, she also knew that this was a character in the crew who was not at all in the same class as her.
Years of trailing tail coating in the middle, let her form a kind of pathetic instinct, her self-esteem has been numb, see the powerful, reflexively panicked to get up, and repeatedly apologized: "Ah, sorry, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
She thought she was in his way, or lying in a place that was wearing out.
He Yu called out to her, "Please wait."
The woman was even more alarmed, looking at him in fearful uncertainty.
Until he said, "May I ask if you are the patient who was embarrassed by Dr. Hsieh in the Canton video case?"
Woman: "......"
"Is that you?"
The woman froze for a few moments before coming back to her senses, "It's me ...... you are ......?"
He Yu was quiet for a moment and smiled, "There's a cafe outside the police academy, can I buy you a cup of coffee? I have something I want to ask you."
The cafe was quiet, it wasn't rush hour at the moment.
He Yu finds a seat in the far corner, and the waiter arrives, eyeing the odd pair skeptically.
An old woman with a disheveled face and an insecure description, and a handsome young man with a handsome face and well-dressed clothes.
It's neither like a mother spending time with her son, nor a rich woman raising a gigolo.
The waiter thus hesitated, "Are you two together?"
The wrinkles on the old woman's face seemed to deepen with embarrassment, covering her flushed face and making her look like a dehydrated purple-skinned walnut.
He Yu gave the waiter a cold look, "Yes, two coffees please."
He Yu's gaze was so oppressive that the waiter didn't dare to look or ask more questions, and in a short while, two cups of steaming coffee were brought up.
The woman had by now asked what he had come for and was nervous: "That ...... I can't say too much ...... I promised that doctor ...... "
"It's fine." He Yu handed her the candy cane and smiled gently, "I'll listen to as much as you want to say and as much as you can say."
The woman licked her lips as if she was thirsty.
She lowered her head and thought for half a day, although she had been talking about the video to everyone these days, she really hadn't said too much about what she shouldn't have.
Even though she didn't understand why that doctor had asked her to do that at the time, she had taken his money, so she should have done what he asked her to do.
Even if she was slow, she could sense that the youth in front of her was different from those dragons around her, he wasn't just casually coming to listen to a hilarious scene, but he really cared about the cause and effect of the matter.
This instead left her at a loss for words, and she nervously took a sip of her coffee, again finding it too bitter and almost choking it out.
"Cough cough cough ......"
"Auntie, you wipe it off." He Yu handed her a tissue.
The woman even reddened her ears, "I'm sorry ......"
"No, it's just me being inconsiderate. It's not good, is it?" He Yu called the waiter again and replaced it with a cup of hot tea.
He hadn't been rushing her, and she took her time and settled down a little.
She thought carefully, and recoiled in hesitation in the face of someone who really wanted to listen, "...... can't really say anything ...... though I don't know exactly what he wants...but he's asked me to keep it a secret."
"It's fine, then I'll ask, you just need to nod or shake your head. If even nodding and shaking your head isn't okay, then just think of it as me buying you some drinks and don't worry about it so much. Okay?"
The woman's two feet rubbed uneasily under the table.
Dealing with such honest and simple women could not really be easier.
He Yu : "Auntie, you just said that the doctor asked you to keep it a secret, but you were arguing with him in the video, can I take it to mean that your argument wasn't real."
Woman: "......"
"You appeared outside his department that day, according to some claims on the internet nowadays, it was said that you were suspicious in appearance, hung up a gynecology number but repeatedly wandered around the door of the mental health department, which aroused the suspicion of the doctor on duty, he saw that the number in your hand was not right, and you even passed the number, but you did not go to the gynecology department, and you stayed in front of his door all the time, so he thought that you might have some mental problems, so he let the security guards to come and kick you out, and had a conflict with you." He Yu looked at her through the heat of the coffee, "So you were indeed suffering from a mental illness at that time?"
The woman, after all, was naive and was busy waving her hands, "I'm not. I'm not sick."
"So what did you go to the hospital and sit in front of his consulting room for?"
"......"
"Is it a medical emergency?"
Of course he knew it wasn't, but the woman panicked.
The woman said, "I, I never do that unethical thing, ah, I am poor, but I will not mess with the doctor who cures the sick."
He Yu stared at her, "Auntie, you don't seem to hate him at all. Despite the fact that he spoke so excessively to you at the time and called security to kick you out. Yet your reaction now is - you can't say more, you have to keep his secret."
"......"
He Yu calmly said, "You really aren't very good at lying."
The woman's face reddened even more and she looked at him in embarrassment.
"You are an actor, so may I take the liberty of making a guess?" He Yu asked.
The woman didn't say anything, her head buried low, almost dropping into her chest.
But the ostrich-like posture wouldn't allow her to escape He Yu's soft voice: "Perhaps, you are a partner that Dr. Xie has hired for some purpose, and he has purposely asked you to act out such a farce that you and he have discussed in front of his clinic."
"He didn't tell that you any of his purposes beforehand, but only asked you and no one to tell the truth, and you took the money, did the job, and left as he told you to - many years passed after this, and just when you were about to fade away from this past, the video of the Canton Tower murder case was suddenly on the internet went viral, and it was only then that you remembered that you had once even taken on such a job."
"Auntie, is that right."
The woman's eyes widened in surprise, and with each additional sentence He Yu said, her eyes grew wider and wider, to the point where they finally appeared as if they were about to burst out, "This, this ...... you ...... how did you ...... How did you ......"
She wanted to say how do you know so much.
But she was too stunned to utter a complete sentence for a moment.
"......"
But He Yu didn't need her to say more, his face became very heavy and the color of his eyes became extremely deep.
He had gotten the answer he wanted to know from her face.
