Breaking Up, No Joke Chapter 7: Story 7

Proofreader: Zhu Yuan

Director Hou and Bo Yu talk from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and then reluctantly say goodbye.

After seeing Director Hou leave, Bo Yu waits for a while, then puts on the sungla.s.ses and leaves.

Bo Yu stands at the front door of the cafe. His eyes travel across the street and his feet seem to be stuck to the ground, hardly moving half a step.

Because Bo Yu wears sungla.s.ses, n.o.body coming and going finds that his eyes are firmly locked at the two people across the street.

Song s.h.i.+lin and Qi Yan.

Song s.h.i.+lin frowns and seems to notice something. He looks back along the fiery gaze with the stunned expression, but he is still cold-looking.

Bo Yu’s hands in the pockets are clenched into fists, and his eyes covered by the sungla.s.ses are red.

Song s.h.i.+lin hasn’t thought that he sees Bo Yu here. He hesitates for a moment and subconsciously walks toward Bo Yu.

With the good visibility, Bo Yu sees Song s.h.i.+lin’s movements, turns around and walks quickly with the compressed lips.

Qi Yan follows Song s.h.i.+ling’s gaze, only sees Bo Yu’s figure like the fugitive, holding his breath, takes Song s.h.i.+lin’s hands with a little strength, “What are you looking at?”

Song s.h.i.+lin comes to his senses, indifferently glances at Bo Yu’s disappearing figure, and then pulls away Qi Yan’s hands which tightly holds Song’s arms and walks in front of Qi Yan, “Nothing. Let’s go. I’ll introduce you to some directors.”

Qi Yan’s chest fluctuates rapidly for several times. After recovering the calmness, he keeps up with Song s.h.i.+lin’s steps again.

Bo Yu, you always haunt us!

Bo Yu, who is once again troubled by the his rival in love, now has a blank mind at the moment and he takes a taxi to leave here.

Bo Yu has not regained his consciousness until getting out of the taxi and then he sees little Watermelon run towards him from Teacher Chen.

Little Watermelon takes out an alb.u.m of paintings as the treasure from his schoolbag and says, “Papa, this is what I painted today.”

“Oh,” Bo Yu takes out the alb.u.m of paintings, gives a hurried glance at it and perfunctorily says, “The paintings are really good, very good.”

Little Watermelon proudly straightens the chest.

Bo Yu stops suddenly and watches little Watermelon walk in front of him. Breathing deeply, he comes up and picks little Watermelon up, “Come on, Daddy takes you home.”

Little Watermelon is very surprised. With bright eyes, he puts the hands around Bo Yu’s neck and says loudly, “OK.”

Being held in daddy’s arms is full of happiness for every child.

Bo Yu doesn’t say a word with little Watermelon just along the way.

At this moment, Bo Yu’s head is so full of the scene that he has seen in the front door of the cafe, that is, Song s.h.i.+lin and Qi Yan standing together.

From gay’s professional point of view, Song s.h.i.+lin who is handsome, rich and masculine and Qi Yan who can make a living by his beautiful face standing together, seem to be perfectly made for each other.

However, from the view of the narrow-minded ex-lover, Song s.h.i.+lin is a lovely flower stuck in a dunghill when they stand together.

So, Bo Yu, as the narrow-minded ex-lover, takes out the mobile, opens Weibo application, signs into his private account and sends a new Weibo message with angry comments when he returns home.

Proud Little Cypress: I come across my ex-boyfriend and his lover. My ex-boyfriend becomes ugly and his lover also becomes ugly, but I am still the handsome man who s.h.i.+nes proudly as a prince. (the sticker of the smiling face)

There are no followers of his Weibo private account and he follows n.o.body as well. Because he sends weibo message on it is to express and relieve his own feelings from time to time.

Naked little Watermelon runs around the room with Dandan to compete for his shorts in the mouth of Dandan.

“Papa, Papa, my shorts with Pleasant Sheep! Let Dandan quickly return them  to me!”

Apparently, little Watermelon with two short legs can’t catch Dandan with four short legs, but the former has the skill of summoning the master of the house.

Bo Yu sits on the sofa, watches the silly dog jump up and down to demonstrate to his silly son, raises the hands and grasps Dandan, looking at each other.

The charming eyes like the crescent moon look at the tiny eyes like the mung beans.

Dandan, who is fierce before, suddenly withers and begins to whine after he catches sight of the master of the house.

At night, Mo Anyu stands on the balcony with a gla.s.s of red wine in the hand and takes a sip with a slight squint in the eyes.

Mr. Zhang’s tone is particularly indifferent on the other end of the phone. “Mo Anyu, what’s the matter?”

“Which TV series did Bo Yu choose to act?” Mo Anyu shakes the gla.s.s of the red wine.

Mr. Zhang is breathless and angry, “The reason that you refused two big-budget movies is just to take a role with Bo Yu?”

Mo Anyu sneers, “You know the initial reason that I joined the entertainment.”

Mr. Zhang is speechless for a short while, “The time is different right now. You are a star in Tingfeng agency, so you should obey the agency’s arrangement.”

“Which TV series did Bo Yu choose to act?” Mo Anyu doesn’t want to continue the meaningless talk with Mr. Zhang and says coldly.

Mr. Zhang is very angry. “He chooses The Young General. Mo Anyu, if you continue to face your work with this kind of att.i.tude, I advise you to get out of the entertainment as soon as possible!”

After that, he hangs up angrily.

Mo Anyu casually throws away the headphones he wears, leaves the balcony barefooted with a wine gla.s.s and drinks all the red wine in the gla.s.s. He looks determined to get with a smile.

“Papa, I want to listen to the story of Pleasant Sheep fighting with the zombies today.” Little Watermelon lies in bed and looks at Bo Yu unblinkingly with the expectant expression.

Bo Yu, “The sheep’s natural enemy isn’t the wolf? Zombies?”

“This is what our neighborhood Doudou says. He says that his Papa tells him this story. Papa, I want to listen to it, too.”

Bo Yu feels frustrated. He doesn’t know any fairy tales. He can tell two cla.s.sic pa.s.sages of adult books at most, but he can’t crack dirty jokes with his son.

“Doudou lies to you. Pleasant Sheep dies on the first day when it sees the wolf. It is made into mutton hotpot.” Bo Yu touches little Watermelon’s soft and silken hair with the deep expression.

“Oh,” little Watermelon says without doubts, but full of disappointment: “Doudou deceives...”

Bo Yu feels a little guilty.

Little Watermelon cheers up, yawns and says, “Good night, Papa, see you tomorrow.”

Bo Yu kisses the child on the forehead. “Good night, baby. See you tomorrow.”

As for whether the sheep can fight the zombies or not, Bo Yu puts that behind him.

Bo Yu tiptoes into the living room and almost steps on Dandan’s tail without minding his step. Looking at Dandan angrily running into the bathroom, he feels more guilty.

The mobile phone rings. He receives a message.

Bo Yu takes out the mobile and looks at the screen. It is Director Hou who informs him of the official date to enter the crew.

Putting the mobile aside, Bo Yu takes out a bottle of wine with lower proof from the wine cabinet and goes back to the room to read the script.

Because of the limited time at daytime, he doesn’t carefully read the script, but roughly skims it.

But Bo Yu has decided to try his best to act a role of this web series, so he will seriously treat it.

Once one takes something seriously, it is easy to overlook the time. Especially, the script of “The Young General” is pretty good, and it is difficult to come to his sense before finis.h.i.+ng reading it.

When Bo Yu finishes reading the script, he finds that the wine is drunk up and the curtain isn’t closed in the bedroom. He can see the sun outside the window rising slowly as soon as he looks up.

Bo Yu’s eyes stop at the script that has been read by himself, and he thinks that it is worthwhile to stay up late finis.h.i.+ng reading it.

If Bo Yu’s appearance surprises Director Hou, then Mo Anyu’s self-recommendation brings Director Hou a surge of pa.s.sion.

There is no doubt about Bo Yu’s acting skills and Mo Anyu’s booming popularity. Director Hou believes that his web series will make a big success on the internet with the acting of the two actors.

After confirming the actors of the protagonists and important supporting roles, Director Hou becomes more confident. Fearing that the two popular actors may sc.r.a.p the contract, he stays up late and prepares for the shooting.

Two days later, “The Young General” is officially shot.

Bo Yu still cares about his appearance. Although he has little spare money, he purchases new clothes in order to ensure his perfect image in front of the media.

There is a clothing brand store that specializes in young people’s fas.h.i.+on in Hua City with highly cost-effective clothes. Even if the public finds that it is not a big brand clothing, it will not make his image of utter poverty deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

On the first day of shooting, Bo Yu as the male protagonist meets Mo Anyu as the supporting male role.

Mo Anyu wears sungla.s.ses with the calm expression. When he sees Bo Yu, he offers his hand and says, “My predecessor, we will be working together. I will try my best.”

Bo Yu glances at the Director Hou who is walking towards here and gives Mo Anyu his hand, “Although I join the entertainment earlier than you, we are of the same age. So, just call me Bo Yu.”

Bo Yu starts his film career at 16 with an idol film as his debut. He has been in entertainment for 9 years so far, so many stars who join the entertainment later consider Bo Yu as their predecessor.

In fact, Bo Yu will be only 25 years old after having his birthday this year.

Mo Anyu is stunned when he hears that. Then he laughs and says, “I almost forget about it.”

Director Hou trots all the way with sweat on his forehead. He says while wiping sweat with tissues, “Xiao Bo, Xiao Mo, you ask the make-up artist to put on makeup. We will take photos of your final image of this web series later. We will shoot your first scene in the afternoon.”

It takes a long time to make up and dress in ancient costume TV series. In addition, they need to take final image photos and upload to the official website. So, it must take all morning for them.

Bo Yu nods and sees that Mo Anyu stands without expressing his opinions. Because Bo Yu is fond of him, he takes the initiative to say, “Together?”

Mo Anyu smiles without responses and goes to stand with him shoulder to shoulder, expressing his opinions by practical action.

Seeing the starring actor and the supporting actor getting along well, Director Hou breathes a sign of relief.

At first, Director Hou is still worried that Mo Anyu wants to be the protagonist. He hesitates for a moment about that. But Mo Anyu says that he wants to act the supporting male role, Director Hou feels delighted but doubtful.

Director Hou can understand that if Mo Anyu is willing to cut his own price to act the protagonist in consideration of his high popularity. But Mo Anyu actually wants to act the supporting male role.

Is it really necessary for Mo Anyu to lower the price in order to act the supporting male role of web series?

Perhaps Director Hou worries that the two actors are not used to making up in the public dressing room, so he gives them two separate rooms as the rest room and the dressing room.

Bo Yu sits in his chair with closed eyes and lets the make-up artist put on makeup on his face. He has acted some ancient costume TV series and knows how complex the makeup is.

――The early image of the young general is a handsome beau. So, Bo Yu’s latest clothes are the white gown with a white jade fan in the hand and a giddy smile on the face.

In the mid-term, the young general grows up in blood and hards.h.i.+p. His childishness fades. The white clothes of the elegant beau turn into dark clothes, n.o.ble as ever.

Later, the young general with the red robe and long sword returns to the court. He doesn’t join the officialdom and battlefield. He returns to the imperial city in the name of the devil’s son, only for revenge.

The young general with the red robe and the long sword joins the evil but still has a little kindness in mind.
