The Show Begins

Chapter 12: You are at most a female supporting role

Views:

Yuan Shengda lives in the building next to Lai Yang. Originally, she lived downstairs from Lai Yang, but later she got tired of hearing Lai Yang and Gu Qian applauding for their love every night.

The noise made her unable to sleep, so she moved to the next building.

Carrying rice noodles, Lai Yang came to Yuan Sheng's door and knocked for a long time before the door opened.

She changed into a pink nightgown, and her pair of bright white thighs were exposed straight in front of Lai Yang.

Lai Yang couldn't help but glance down. It was round and white enough.

"Have you seen enough? Do you want to touch it again?" Yuan Sheng said coldly.

"Brother Sheng, we are brothers and it's not good for you to tease me like this all the time." Lai Yang swallowed his saliva and said.

Yuan Sheng raised her big red lips in a charming arc and said, "I'm picking on you, you idiot. The heater is on in my room, and it's none of your business what I wear! What do you want to do by knocking on my door in the middle of the night?"

"Nothing...nothing. I just bought an extra serving of rice noodles to see if you want to eat it?" Lai Yang picked up the rice noodles.

A glimmer of light flashed in Yuan Shengda's beautiful eyes, and then his voice became cold: "It's a waste if you don't eat it for free."

She hooked the rice noodles with her jade finger, snatched them away, and slammed the door.

"Hey! I... I... you are such a toad!" Lai Yang was about to explode with anger.

The voice-controlled lights in the corridor flashed dimly. As Lai Yang climbed the stairs back to his room, his shadow looked lonely and tired.

He kind of misses his childhood.

It was also an old house, and life there was actually quite ordinary. However, every time he returned home from school, his steps were always light, because his parents were waiting for him at home for dinner.

They were all very young at that time and knew how to cook Laiyang’s favorite dishes, dumplings and millet porridge.

After dinner, my father would light a cigarette, sit on the old-fashioned single sofa and read the newspaper.

His mother would fill a basin with hot water to scrub his body, and before Lai Yang went to bed, she would tell him Grimm's Fairy Tales and Robinson Crusoe.

I was so stupid back then, I actually wanted to grow up quickly.

At that time, Lai Yang felt that a man should be like Robinson Crusoe, sailing across the ocean, leaving the harbor of home and wandering around the world.

Now he has done it, far away from the city where he was born and raised.

But the price is that no one will prepare meals for him and wait for him to come home. The adult world is full of money, betrayal, choices and loneliness.

After returning to the room and washing up simply, Lai Yang turned off the lights, leaned against the head of the bed, and lit a cigarette to comfort the lonely night.

Unconsciously, he clicked on Tian Jing's circle of friends, wanting to see if she had posted anything, but unfortunately, her circle of friends was cleaner than Lai Yang's pocket.

Lai Yang opened her dialog box again, and

After leaving a question mark, I still haven't replied to the message.

Looking at the quiet avatar, Lai Yang clicked it unconsciously, but accidentally double-clicked it, and a prompt popped up in the dialog box.

You patted your quiet little face and said hi~

"Fuck!"

Lai Yang sat up straight, and he couldn't withdraw, which made him feel awkward.

Looking at the prompt, Lai Yang thought she was quite cute. It was set to "Say Hi", which was a bit inconsistent with her identity as a female president.

Ten seconds later, Tian Jing sent a question mark.

Lai Yang held the phone in his hand awkwardly; the light from the screen in the night reflected his red old face.

Half a minute passed and he still didn't reply. Tian Jing sent an angry expression and two cold words.

say!

Lai Yang's finger hovered on the screen for a long time. Before he could think of what to post, Tian Jing double-clicked his avatar, and a prompt popped up in the dialog box.

Tian Jing patted your butt and covered your hands with poop~

"Oh shit!" He had made this setting before to tease Yuan Shengda, but now he was completely embarrassed.

Lai Yang could imagine how angry the pretty face on the other side of the screen must be at this moment.

You are disgusting. Tranquility message sent.

This is not set by me, but by my friend. Lai Yang replied immediately.

Haha, I thought you couldn’t see the message.

"Well… "

Lai Yang lit up another cigarette, racking his brains for a response.

After a while, Tianjing sent a message asking me to change the settings, which was really rude.

Regarding this topic, Lai Yang immediately changed the settings and sent a message to Tian Jing to take another photo.

Tianjing patted your thigh and said you are so handsome.

When this reminder came out, Lai Yang's mouth corners rose unconsciously. In fact, what Li Dian said was right. He could also be friends with Tian Jing without any psychological burden.

Anyway, I don't like her...right

Tian Jing posted an emoji of a person holding a knife, and wrote: "It's so boring."

Lai Yang smiled and changed the settings to let Tian Jing take the photo. In fact, if it was someone else, Lai Yang probably wouldn't want to continue chatting about this little thing, but when he thought of the pure and beautiful face opposite him.

Any man would be interested in chatting.

But Laiyang didn't know whether Tianjing replied to him out of her good manners or because she also wanted to chat.

Tianjing patted your shoulder and said let’s make good friends.

Look, she took another photo of herself.

Laiyang felt as if his heart was covered with honey and was sweet.

He immediately typed: Okay? Then I'll be your friend despite all the difficulties.

After sending this message, Lai Yang felt a little uneasy. He wanted to see her reply, but was afraid of her reply. It was hard to describe this feeling, but he just felt nervous.

But surprisingly, I had almost finished my four cigarettes and still hadn't heard from her.

The wind was blowing outside the window, and the night finally became cold. With mixed feelings, Lai Yang turned off the screen and fell asleep.

The next day was Friday. Lai Yang planned to take advantage of Tian Jing's time off work to hand out flyers and meet her by chance to ask her if she wanted to watch the show tonight.

The purpose of doing this is to... make friends, Lai Yang told himself at least.

In the morning, he went to the theater with Yuan Shengda and published an article on the official account. Although their official account does not have many viewers, it has to be updated frequently.

After finishing their work, the two printed many small cards. Lai Yang carried the bag and took Yuan Shengda to the nearby residential area to visit the buildings.

Originally, Li Dian was the one doing this job, but now he works part-time during the day, so only Yuan Shengda follows him.

Although she was a tomboy in her usual personality, she was a girl after all. After climbing a building, she could not walk anymore. She sat in the corridor, staring at Lai Yang with her pretty eyes.

"I watch Korean idol dramas, and the heroine's childhood sweetheart is always the CEO of a listed company. How come I ended up meeting someone like you?"

Lai Yang stepped on the steps, bent his waist and panted, "Brother Sheng, you have to understand, she is the heroine, are you? You are at most a supporting actress."

"Puh!" Yuan Shengda's pretty face was pink and her red lips made a spitting gesture.

"Look, have you ever seen a heroine like you? They are all gentle, virtuous, cold and frosty."

"Oh, then why don't you just say 'Tranquil'?" Yuan Sheng pouted and glared at Lai Yang with her beautiful eyes.

Lai Yang was stunned by these words. He pursed his lips and said no more.

"Why? Did you hit the mark? You just like her like that, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right."

Lai Yang murmured in a perfunctory manner, but at this moment, a voice from the property management suddenly came from the corridor: "Who put the card here?"

The two of them stood up suddenly and quickly ran down the escalator. Lai Yang jumped three steps at a time and left Yuan Shengda behind in two or three jumps. She was so anxious that she cursed.

"Laiyang, do you have any shame? Wait for me!"

"Stop! Who told you to post this here? Pick them all up!"

There was a sound of property management coming from the corridor, probably they had arrested Yuan Shengda.
