On the Thousand Postures Reconstructed by the Scumbags

When Xi Nian came on stage, behind him there was an overwhelming loud noise, almost as if about to overturn the roof1In other words, the crowd was so loud that it almost felt like it would lift off the roof.. He looked back, his eyes swept across the crowd, but he didn’t find that familiar figure.

This time, the one who had to compete against Xi Nian was the number eight. He probably knew that he was here to accompany running, so he didn’t have any hope at all. The commentator, as always, continued to use his sharp-tongue style and seemed to sigh with emotion: “There seems to be no suspense about the outcome of this competition. I don’t know if Xi Nian can continue to maintain his level and set another record of hitting the ten points?”

Xi Nian drew the bowstring at the referee’s signal and aimed the arrow at the bull’s eye. This time, there was no longer silence behind him, but cheers all over.

“Whoosh!”

After the muffled sound, the arrow hit the center at the tenth point.

His score seemed to be only limited to this single number.

As time passed, the number of arrows hitting the target not far away was also increasing, and without exception, all of them were concentrated in the inner circle in the center.

As the commentator said, there was no suspense in the result of this competition. All twelve arrows were shot down, and Xi Nian made everyone in awe2[chēng mù jié shé]: All at sea, which also means be wide-eyed and not make a sound or be so awed (at the sight of) that one couldn’t speak. with his jaw-dropping constant tenth-point hit. When the result was announced, applause thundered around him, and everyone in the room was shouting his name.

The fans of Meng Qianlin and Yu Fan’s inner thoughts were orz3The meaning of this icon is a person facing left and kneeling on the ground, people use this symbol widely on the Internet to express their frustration and helplessness. Orz originated in Japan and was introduced in 2004 in Japan, China, and Taiwan seems to have become a new subculture. With the widespread use of Orz, its connotation gradually increased. In addition to helplessness or frustration, it began to be extended to the positive meaning of worship and admiration for people.: Is there still a way for our bother to survive?

Lu Xingzhe was standing behind the crowd. This time he was wearing light-coloured clothes and without a hat. At any glance, he looked unobtrusive and not attention-seeking. He looked like an ordinary teenager, but still carried a shoulder bag with a camera on his shoulder.

He also couldn’t explain why he came here, maybe deep down he felt that he had watched the first two shows, so it was unreasonable not to watch this one.

After Xi Nian left the field, he walked directly to the viewing area. Fans stretched out their arms to ask for his autograph. He took the photos and signed autographs one by one, then scanned the crowd, as if he was looking for something.

Lu Xingzhe’s position couldn’t be found unless looked carefully, or he never thought that Xi Nian would deliberately look for him. Therefore, when his gaze was caught off guard and met the man’s deep eyes, he was stunned for a rare moment.

The surroundings were noisy and lively, but between them, the air remained silent for a moment.

In Xi Nian’s memory, Lu Xingzhe always seemed to like to wear a hat to cover his face. It was rare for him to look at the other person without covering up. For some reason, Xi Nian didn’t look away for a long time.

Due to Lu Xingzhe’s personality, he did not show any signs of panic. He just looked at Xi Nian from afar without any visible emotions, then smiled, whistled frivolously to him, and turned around to disappear into the crowd.

Xi Nian signed the last photos in twos and threes, then handed them back to the fans. Without leaving a trace, he avoided the camera and returned to the backstage. He remembered that when Lu Xingzhe had just left, the direction seemed to be Exit C一he paused and then followed.

Xi Nian chose the shortest path, and when he followed, he happened to find Lu Xingzhe’s back disappearing in the corridor around the corner. He didn’t think much before following him immediately, but he didn’t even see anyone when he turned the corner.

“Why are you following me?”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, like a sudden clap of thunder on the ground4This is a metaphor used to refer that calmness was suddenly disturbed, or sudden change.. Xi Nian turned his head subconsciously and saw Lu Xingzhe appear behind him at some point, squinting his eyes and looking at him.

Xi Nian didn’t answer, or he couldn’t even answer himself, so he asked: “How did you find me?”

Lu Xingzhe couldn’t hear his emotions and said: “If I can’t even find this, wouldn’t that be too bad for my job?

He said, approaching Xi Nian step by step. Adamant for letting go of the question just now, staring into his eyes and asked again: “You haven’t answered yet, why did you follow me just now?”

Xi Nian didn’t speak and seemed to be thinking of an appropriate reason.

No matter how many times, Lu Xingzhe would always be tickled by Xi Nian’s cold appearance. He didn’t hear an answer for a long time and deliberately lowered his voice with a hint of playfulness: “Why, it can’t be because you’re reluctant to part with me, can it?”

Just as Xi Nian was about to answer, his ears caught the sound of footsteps approaching near from far. He frowned and pulled Lu Xingzhe into the equipment room beside him, then closed the door with his backhand.

The light inside was broken, the surroundings were pitch black, and only some old and dusty equipment could be vaguely seen. Xi Nian leaned back against the door, and when he heard the chaotic footsteps outside, he realized that he was still holding onto Lu Xingzhe’s hand.

He paused and his fingers halted in motion, and for some reason, Xi Nian didn’t let go.

Lu Xingzhe couldn’t see Xi Nian’s face clearly, he could only feel the intertwined breathing and heartbeat of the two of them. He lowered his eyes and looked at his grasped hand, “Do you know what you’re doing?”

He also asked this question that night, the difference was that Xi Nian was wholly sober now.

This equipment room had probably not been used for a long time and had dust bouncing in the air and even a faint musty smell. Xi Nian tightened his strength slightly, forcing Lu Xingzhe to approach him, and then asked a nonsensical question: “Why did you help me?”

Lu Xingzhe: “What?”

Xi Nian reminded him: “Su Ge’s video.”

Lu Xingzhe was taken aback when he heard the words and raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: “I think he is an eye-sore5[bù shùn yǎn]: something offending the eye. It is used to refer to someone/something that is disagreeable to the eye and one cannot bear the sight of., that’s why.”

Xi Nian knew he was not telling the truth, and he couldn’t bear Lu Xingzhe’s always so complacent and proud appearance. He flipped their bodies over and directly pushed Lu Xingzhe against the door. He breathed slowly and asked, “I rejected you that day, don’t you hate me?”

In his previous life, he had a quarrel with Lu Xingzhe and ended up ruined.

Xi Nian didn’t know why but wanted to know the reason very much.

Hearing the word “rejected”, Lu Xingzhe felt as if he had been stepped on a sore foot suddenly, and immediately became irritable. He squinted his eyes silently: “You followed me just to ask these boring questions?”

Xi Nian didn’t answer, it could be considered he acquiesced.

The two of them were deadlocked in such a posture, which made Lu Xingzhe unconsciously think of that night. His expression was slightly cold and he struggled without warning, trying to push Xi Nian away. However, Lu Xingzhe was restrained by the other party with greater force, and his limbs collided with the door, making a dull sound.

Lu Xingzhe couldn’t get free no matter what, and his liver was sore with anger. He turned his eyes and deliberately groaned, saying with a white face, “You, you let go, I hit my leg, it hurts…”

Xi Nian was startled when he heard the words, his fingertips loosened suddenly: “Where does it hurt?”

Lu Xingzhe slowly slid down, covered his knees, and said, “Leg…”

Xi Nian thought of Lu Xingzhe’s personality of not showing weakness easily and believed he was telling the truth. He only thought Lu Xingzhe was really in pain, so he immediately squatted down and groped for Lu Xingzhe’s left leg in the darkness, asking, “Is it the wound from last time? Did the knee hurt?”

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhe glanced at him quietly in the dark without speaking anything. Moreover, because he was breathing heavily after struggling just now, it all looked a bit realistic.

Xi Nian couldn’t hear his answer, so he took it as acquiescence and reached forward to roll up Lu Xingzhe’s trouser legs in the dark. But unexpectedly, his hand was held down.

Lu Xingzhe’s tone was wary as he asked: “What are you doing?”

Xi Nian’s handsome face fell into the darkness, making it hard to see clearly. His cold fingertips pressed against Lu Xingzhe’s calf, and he could faintly feel a little callus: “Looking at your injury.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhe slowly let go of his hand.

Xi Nian rolled his trouser legs up to his knee and used his fingertips to check the injury. He only felt a bumpy area that was scared, but fortunately, there were no wet blood stains. He put down Lu Xingzhe’s trousers legs again and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Lu Xingzhe’s gaze kept falling on him: “Why, are you afraid I’ll be lame?”

He was just teasing habitually, but Xi Nian actually admitted it, and said without emotion: “Well, I’m afraid you’ll be lame.”

Lu Xingzhe was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and was about to say something when Xi Nian asked, “Can you still stand up?”

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhe unconsciously placed his fingertips on his led, then raised his eyebrows and uttered two words: “Can not.”

Xi Nian: “…”

Lu Xingzhe seemed to see his hesitation and stood up on his own. He avoided Xi Nian’s supporting hand, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked, “Do you look down on me?”

Xi Nian said, “No.”

Perhaps he looked down on him in the previous life, but not in this life.

The audience was watching the game, and there were not many people outside the hallway. Xi Nian walked out of the equipment room and patted away the dust on his body. He took out a black mask from his pocket and put it on. He squatted down and said to Lu Xingzhe, “Come on, I’ll carry you on my back.”

Lu Xingzhe wanted to say that he was pretending, but he retracted his words after looking at Xi Nian’s generous back.

Xi Nian only felt a sinking sensation behind him, and then his neck was hugged. He looked back and stood up, carrying Lu Xingzhe downstairs with steady steps.

Lu Xingzhe pressed tightly against Xi Nian’s scorching back, wondering what he was thinking. He reached out and pinched Xi Nian’s earlobe, saying: “Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by reporters if you carry me like this?”

Xi Nian said softly: “Don’t worry, other people are not as boring as you. Even if they find out, they will only praise me for being helpful and assisting the disabled.”

Except for Lu Xingzhe, who else was so idle to keep staring at him every day.

Lu Xingzhe was not angry at all, his red lips slowly approached Xi Nian’s ear, and asked with great interest: “Then what if it was discovered that two of us slept together?”

Xi Nian paused, then continued to walk forward: “As long as you don’t tell, no one will know.”

He had already arrived at the parking lot while talking, and Xi Nian didn’t drive today. He found Lu Xingzhe’s car, unlocked it with the key, opened the rear door and helped him in, and was about to close it, but he heard Lu Xingzhe suddenly say: “And what if I want to speak it out?”

Xi Nian paused, raised his eyes, and met Lu Xingzhe’s dark and quiet eyes: “Are you trying to blackmail me?”

Lu Xingzhe originally just said it casually, who would have thought to hear Xi Nian’s words, an unknown fire ignited in his heart. He directly clenched Xi Nian’s wrist and then pulled him into the car. The door slammed shut, isolating everything outside.

In the narrow and dark space, the two had no choice but to stick close together. Lu Xingzhe grabbed Xi Nian by the collar and pressed him back under him, but was unable to see his expression clearly. He reminded Xi Nian word by word: “Xi Nian, that night it was you who took the initiative. It’s not that Lao Zu6[lǎo zǐ]: It is a way of calling oneself in a superior position, this term is used in various ways, depending on the context. In some, it means to call oneself father (often in an arrogant way), and elder people often also use it. In addition, this term is also used by people in a joking or angry situation, referring oneself to stress. Here, the latter connotation is more feasible. begged you to fuck me.”

His tone was calm, but the word “Lao Zi” revealed his inner emotions.

Xi Nian could even feel Lu Xingzhe’s fingertips tense to the extreme.

Lu Xingzhe said, “It was my first time.”

He said, “It was my first time…”

Being forced on the bed by a drunk person, he passed the night like that in a daze and returned home exhausted the next day, and even cleaned the body in a strange way.

Even so, he never thought of harming Xi Nian, never.

Lu Xingzhe asked him: “Why, you think I’m cheap, and can easily sleep with anyone casually?”

When he said this, his eyes were red. Xi Nian didn’t know why, so he subconsciously raised his hand to cover Lu Xingzhe’s eyes, and said in a low voice, “No.”

Lu Xingzhe didn’t speak, breathing heavily.

Xi Nian slowly pulled down the hand that was holding his collar, then flipped their bodies and pressed Lu Xingzhe under him—repeated in a low voice: “I never thought that way.”

Xi Nian said: “It was an accident that day, I was drunk…”

The final sound of his last few words gradually disappeared into the air, as the hand that covered Lu Xingzhe’s eyes suddenly felt some traces of moisture. It took a while for him to react as Xi Nian realized something belatedly, and his body froze slightly.

He had never seen Lu Xingzhe cry.

Really never.

The light inside the car was dim, and everything could not be seen clearly. Xi Nian didn’t take his hand away. He knew that Lu Xingzhe didn’t like being seen in a state of embarrassment by others, but he didn’t know what to say. Xi Nian reached out and wrapped his hand around Lu Xingzhe’s waist, then exerted a slight force and pressed the person into his arms.

“Don’t cry.”

He said, “Don’t cry…”
