Xiang Guai carried Cen Manchuan's heavy head on his shoulders, and his heart became heavy for no reason.
The musical on stage, for the first time, no longer attracted him.
Fortunately, Xiang Gu had read this fairy tale book in advance, so he was very clear about the ending of the story.
A cat who turned into a human broke into the town and met a cute girl. He is different from her in many ways. She likes cooking, but he only knows how to appreciate mouse burgers; he doesn't understand the importance of money, but she works hard for a living; she is a human, and he is a cat.
They have so many differences, but the only thing they have in common is that they love each other with their souls.
At the end of the story, the magic time is up, and the hero is about to change back from a human to a cat. The heroine knelt down under the magician's robe and prayed that she would become a cat too, so that she could stay with her lover.
In the end, the good magician withdrew the magic, allowing the lovers to stay together.
The magician stroked the male protagonist's hair and said the famous line: "There is a thing that only humans have, and that kind of thing is called love."
It's a happy ending that everyone will love.
But when Xiang Guai turned his head to look at Cen Manchuan who was sleeping soundly, a vague question arose in his heart.
—Even if the cat becomes a human, the differences between the couple still exist. He has always liked to eat mice, and she could never accept sleeping on top of a cupboard for the rest of her life.
… Can love really resolve differences
After Cen Manchuan slept until the end of the night, Xiang Gu woke him up and handed him a tissue to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth.
"I'm sorry..." Cen Manchuan hung his tail guiltily, "I played a game with a few of them this afternoon, and I was too tired, so I just..."
"It's okay, I understand." Xiang Guess stroked his head, just like the magician in the play stroked the cat's head.
It was not until then that Cen Manchuan realized that several of his buddies had disappeared. He scolded a swear word and rushed out to find them.
Xiang Guess wasn't in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to be polite with those stupid straight men, so he took the initiative to slow down and walked out slowly along the flow of people.
After walking out of the theater, he walked around the venue a few times and easily found the people in the smoking area.
A few big boys were standing lazily against the wall. Except for Cen Manchuan, everyone had a cigarette in their mouth, puffing clouds and mist, and their postures were very skillful.
Someone handed Cen Manchuan a cigarette.
Cen Manchuan waved his hand and refused: "Quit. Xiang Gua doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. He smells uncomfortable in his throat and affects his singing."
Xiang Guess chuckled silently. He didn't lean over, but found a corner they couldn't see and waited for them to finish.
He didn't intend to inquire about the topics between their brothers, but those words seemed to have grown hands and feet, and took the initiative to pour into Xiang Gu's ears.
"Kuanzi, why did you call your brothers over to see this thing on a hot day? There was a lot of noise on the stage, and there were arrogant children all over the place, making my head so loud."
Cen Manchuan rubbed his nose: "Didn't you guys want to look and guess? You see it now, my boyfriend, how is it? Are you temperamental?"
"You only said that you were male... Your target is a musical actor. If you invited us to watch a musical, we thought it was him!" Mao Quan said, "But he is strangely beautiful and has long legs. If you want me to say, turn off the lights, close your eyes, and take care of his men or women, anyway... "
"Damn it, you're going down in three sentences!" Cen Manchuan punched him directly, "Give me some seriousness! My main purpose today is to let you meet him. Xiangchaite is a good person, Don't make up for him."
Hearing this, the corners of Xiang Guai's mouth twitched slightly.
Cen Manchuan is two years younger than Xiang Guai, and others always make fun of Xiang Guai looking for a "little wolf dog". Look, the little wolf dog is still very protective of the master at critical moments. … Based on this alone, Xiang Gu can make himself forget the unpleasantness in the theater.
The conversation in the smoking area fell silent, and for a while, only the sound of a few boys breathing and smoking could be heard.
After about half a cigarette, Gao Xing suddenly asked, "Kuanzi, do you remember that one year, I took you to watch my niece's dance competition. You couldn't take your eyes off it and said that you must have a daughter in the future, Absolutely send her to learn ballet and see her in a beautiful princess dress... Have you forgotten about this?"
"I didn't forget." Cen Manchuan joked, "Xiang Gu used to study ballet, so my wish is half completed."
"But he can't give birth to a child for you!"
"I don't want to have a baby now. It's okay to have a cat, a son, a dog, and a daughter."
"Cut." Someone sneered, "My wife and children will accompany me for the rest of my life, can cats and dogs be okay?"
Cen Manchuan was besieged by a few people, and his anger came up: "Then I will raise a Wangba head office? Wangba has a long life, and if he is raised, he can send us all away!"
Just across the corner, Xiang Gu heard the movement in the smoking area getting louder and louder, and there was even the sound of body colliding. The boys were all hot-tempered, and Xiang Gu was worried that they would fight each other over a disagreement. He didn't know if he should go out to mediate, but at this moment, Mao Quan's voice suddenly came out.
"Kuanzi, can you stop being an idiot?! Our brothers for so many years, when you suddenly get together with a man, you must give us time to accept it?... We just don't understand, it's not like you haven't been with girls before. After dating, why do you have to be gay? This road is so difficult to walk, why do you want to go?"
Xiang Guess: "… "
Xiang Gu also wanted to know. This road is so difficult to walk, why does Cen Manchuan choose to embark on this road.
"Why are there so many?" Cen Manchuan replied, "If you meet it, if you like it, then stay together. Xiang Gu is someone I like. I'm looking for someone for myself, not for you!"
"Yes, it's your own business to fall in love... But how do you explain it to your parents?" Mao Quan also raised his voice, "We grew up together, and Lao Gao and I even recognized your parents. Dad and godmother. You are the only child, have you ever thought about how sad they were when they came out of the closet?"
"… "
A very embarrassing silence spread.
Xiang Guai held his breath subconsciously, and stuck himself against the wall like a shadow.
It's been a long time.
"...I...I didn't think about it that far." The basketball boy who just celebrated his 21st birthday not long ago said hesitantly, "Isn't there a saying that the mountains and rivers have no way to go, and the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge? Just... Let's talk about it then."
"What, you illiterate don't pretend to be a lover!" Gao Xing laughed at him, "You have memorized ancient poems!"
A series of laughter came from the group of boys.
It was such a serious question, but it was brought over in such a hilarious manner.
No one knew that every word and sentence they talked about was overheard by Xiang Gu who was behind the corner.
Standing alone in the shadow of the corner, he looked up at the promotional poster of "Cat Who Wants to Become Human" hanging on the wall of the theater.
As soon as the wind blew, the poster fluttered and squeaked in the air. On the poster, there is a tear in the corner of the ginger cat's eye, next to a silhouette of a girl.
There is a line printed in the corner.
- "The so-called growth is not to become sophisticated, but to become mature and know how to face the choices of life."
In fairy tales, love can keep humans and cats together.
Xiang Guess lives in reality.
※
After the musical ended, Tan Yiming, who was sitting in the pool seat, got up and helped Gu Fanfan, who was beside him, pick up his schoolbag.
Today's elementary school students are really incredible. Just in the second grade, their schoolbags weigh ten pounds.
"Thank you, uncle, the head teacher." Gu Fanfan said sensible.
He is the son of Gu Liang and Ye Ye. He is seven years old this year and is an honorable junior squad leader. Unlike the Gu family and his wife, who are extroverted and good at socializing, Gu Fanfan is a sullen child with a calm personality and does not like to talk.
Recently, Gu Liang found out that his son had something on his mind, and his relationship with his parents was not as close as before. Gu Liang really couldn't pry his son's mouth open, so he could only ask Tan Yiming to accompany him to relax.
Tan Yiming was speechless about the task that hit his head: "...I have never raised a child, how do I know how to enlighten him?"
Gu Liang replied confidently: "You two love to hide things in your heart, maybe there is a resonance?"
So like this, Tan Yiming specially set aside the weekend to take this kid to watch the musical.
In fact, there are many ways to coax children. Going to the game hall, going to a big meal, or going to the water park are all good choices. But in a strange way, Tan Yiming finally bought two tickets for the musical, and brought Fanfan to accept the edification of elegant art.
When Fanfan watched a musical for the first time, he couldn't take his eyes off it and quickly fell into it.
When he walked into the underground garage, Fanfan was still immersed in the plot and hummed the theme song.
After getting in the car, Tan Yiming fastened his seat belt and teased him: "Fanfan is really amazing. If there is a singing role next time, I will leave it to you!"
"..." Unexpectedly, just after Tan Yiming's voice fell, Fanfan suddenly closed his mouth and turned into a stuffy gourd again.
Tan Yiming:
What kind of strange creature is a child, why is it happy at one time and angry at the same time
Fanfan grew up in a recording studio, Gu Liang and his wife often work overtime, and Fanfan does his homework in the company obediently. There are other children in the company who are in a similar situation to him.
When dubbing film and television works, children are often encountered, and this group of "second-generation dubbing" will come in handy.
The children have been fascinated by their ears and eyes since they were young, and they all like to dub in the studio. For them, it is like a game. As long as they speak a few words into the microphone, they can earn pocket money for a month.
Among the second generation of this group, Fanfan is definitely the best performer.
His Mandarin is very standard, and he is very good at figuring out the feelings of characters. At the age of four, he played a small role for a Disney cartoon. At that time, he was illiterate, so Gu Liang took the script and read a line, and Fanfan repeated it.
After a few years, Fanfan has played characters that he can't count on four hands. According to his mother, he already has a lot of money in his small vault.
Tan Yiming took the initiative to mention the matter of dubbing, originally wanting to motivate him, but he didn't know what was going on, but instead made Fanfan unhappy.
Tan Yiming could only try his best to enlighten him: "What do you want to eat in a while? McDonald's? KFC? I heard that there is a dog restaurant over there, where you can eat and play with the dog."
Fanfan said, "Whatever."
Tan Yiming: "..." He asked again, "Where do you want to go after dinner? Do you want to watch another movie? By the way, the "Puppy Story" that you are paired with has been released, do you want to watch it?"
"I don't want to." Fanfan's face was stern, and he hugged his big schoolbag tightly, "I'm going home to do my homework."
"..." Tan Yiming thought to himself, is this really a second-grade child, how old-fashioned looks like a little adult...
No way, Tan Yiming could only pick a restaurant and enter the navigation, and then drove out of the basement.
Coincidentally, as soon as they hit the ground, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, followed by pouring downpour. In less than a minute before and after, the store's roof was crowded with people.
There is a saying that the sky in June is like the face of a child, if it changes, it changes.
Tan Yiming glanced sideways at the child sitting in the passenger seat, and agreed with this proverb.
The red light came on, and Tan Yiming's car stopped behind the zebra crossing, waiting for pedestrians to pass by.
Umbrellas, like mushrooms in the rain, swarmed colorfully from the sidewalk.
But among the group of bright mushrooms, a tall and thin boy was empty-handed, only covering his head with his hands, and ran towards the bus stop across the road.
The torrential rain drenched him from top to bottom.
The boy quickened his pace and ran forward, and every time he took a step, countless water droplets were splashed.
Tan Yiming stared blankly at the figure running past his car, not knowing how shocked the expression on his face was in those short dozen seconds.
It's a pity that the boy finally slowed down. When he arrived at the bus stop, the bus had already closed the door and drove away.
He lowered his shoulders in frustration. Fortunately, the platform had shelter from the rain. He hid under the eaves and shook the rain on his body—it was strange that he made such an embarrassing movement, as graceful as a swan floating in water.
"Uncle class teacher," Fanfan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you know that beautiful brother?"
"..." Tan Yiming rolled his Adam's apple and said hoarsely, "Well, he was my former friend."
"Former friend?" Fanfan said curiously, "then is he not your friend now?"
"... He now has other new friends."
Fanfan couldn't understand it, so he frowned and said, "You adults are so strange. Why can't that beautiful brother be friends with you after he has a new friend?"
Tan Yiming was speechless when asked. He couldn't explain their entanglement to a seven-year-old child.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Fanfan thought he was wrong, so he simply took up the posture of his junior squad leader, put his hands on his hips, and commanded: "Listen to me - go forward! Hurry up and call my little brother into the car, he will get sick in such a heavy rain! "
…
This time, Xiang Guai missed a bus, so he waited at the bus stop again.
This time, Tan Yiming's car stopped in front of Xiang Chai.
The author has something to say: If you want to make some comments in this chapter, just think about it.
I know, a thousand readers have a thousand guesses, old talk, Manchuan, Yao Yin...
