The Show Begins

Chapter 52: Jealous

Views:

"I asked you to persuade her to find a part-time job, but you just persuaded her to quit?"

After returning to the room, Lai Yang told Li Dian what had happened via WeChat.

I thought this guy was asleep, but I didn't expect him to call me with a loud bang, and his shouting almost broke Lai Yang's eardrum.

"Keep your voice down. I think it's right for her to go back. If you don't have enough money, I can return it to her first."

"Laiyang, this is not a question of money. Shengda came to Shanghai when you were in the most difficult time, but now your theater is just starting to pick up, and you want them to leave? Do you think it's appropriate?"

Standing by the window, looking at the dark community garden, Lai Yang was a little dazed.

His blurry figure was reflected on the window, just like his blurry heart.

"Do you think I'm wrong?"

Lai Yang took a deep breath and continued, "We thought too simply about opening a theater at that time. Now we all know that the performing arts industry relies on time to accumulate little by little. We love this industry, so it doesn't matter if we accumulate slowly. Besides, we are both men, but Yuan Shengda is different. She can find a stable job and marry a good man with less pressure. Isn't that good?"

The breathing sound on the other end of the phone gradually changed from rapid to slow.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice came: "In that case, why did you let her come here in the first place?"

Lai Yang was choked by this question.

Yes, why did you ask Yuan Shengda to come here in the first place

At that time, he thought that this new comedy model would become popular in Shanghai. The theater would be sold out every night and he would count money until his hands cramped.

But the reality is that except for some holidays, the tickets are simply not sold out.

Almost every day during the week is bleak and far from ideal.

"So now I feel I was wrong. I am worried about her future."

"You are not responsible for her future, why are you in such a hurry?"

This was the second time Lai Yang had heard these words tonight, and his fingers gripping the phone tightened.

In fact, he was also very conflicted inside. As the owner of a theater, he certainly hoped that Yuan Shengda would stay.

But as a childhood friend, Lai Yang was afraid of delaying her, really.

I’m afraid that in the end, I’ll be left with nothing.

And she has become a thirty-year-old woman. Just like the song says, her radiance and passion have been worn away by the years, and her brilliant appearance has gradually aged.

What should she do then

Will you hate yourself

"Laiyang, I think you have lost confidence in the theater, or are you really going to put all your energy into Tian Jing? Are you ready to be a landlord?"

"Don't, don't talk nonsense. Why don't I have confidence in the theater?"

"Then you should apologize to Sheng Da Dao tomorrow morning and take back what you said tonight.

She is leaving and the theater is short of people again."

"Not tomorrow morning, I have to go clean up for Tian Jing... uh..."

The night is a little quiet and a little turbulent.

Lai Yang slept very uneasily. He wanted to send a message to Yuan Shengda several times, but he opened her message box several times and sent nothing.

Instead, I saw her latest circle of friends, which was to celebrate the renewal of the theater’s lease. She took a photo of the door and the caption was also a ticket sales copy.

"Am I really wrong?"

The next day, Lai Yang came to Tian Jing's house with panda eyes.

After opening the door, a delicate face was revealed, full of surprise.

Lai Yang explained that he just didn't sleep well, and as he spoke, he yawned.

Tian Jing opened her mouth slightly: "Are you planning to come to my house to catch up on some sleep?"

Her voice is very nice, crisp and sweet, definitely a goddess' voice.

LaiYang didn't notice it much before, but now, just hearing her voice, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

He looked at the flawless face and asked, "If I'm really exhausted, can I sleep at your house?"

"Do you know why cows are so tired and don't sleep in the fields?"

Lai Yang frowned and touched his chin; "Yes, why?"

She smiled peacefully and raised her hand to slap Laiyang: "Because it dares to sleep, it will be whipped."

"Wow~ President Tian is really good at playing. She even has a small whip hidden at home. Are there any candles or something?"

The quiet and beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely, and Lai Yang's face tightened, but he said with a smile.

"Hey~ Jingjing, you're thinking the wrong thing, I didn't expect you to know so much... ah!"

The two taels of flesh on Laiyang's waist were pinched fiercely by Tianjing!

She changed into a sports outfit. Girls with good figures look good in anything they wear.

The soft light grey fabric fits the quiet figure perfectly, with a curvy figure.

Lai Yang held the mop in his hand and saw her biting the rubber band with her red lips. She neatly tied her hair into a ponytail with her hands, and the long hair hung behind her fair neck.

She exudes a youthful and graceful aura.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Tian Jing tied her hair up and looked at Lai Yang who was in a daze.

Lai Yang immediately pretended to mop the floor, hesitating, "Oh, nothing, I was just thinking that spring is coming soon, and everything is about to revive."

Tranquility:…

Lai Yang was stopped from pretending to mop the floor. He had to help Tian Jing shake the bedding, wash it, and hang it on the roof to dry.

I also have to lift up the sofa, clean everything, wipe the windows... and so on.

Although listening

It's a headache to do this, but when I think about the quiet person in front of me, this job is not difficult to do.

Especially when she was shaking the quilt, Lai Yang stood opposite Tian Jing. Every time she shook the quilt, Lai Yang's blood pressure would be high for a while.

It really shakes ~ very spectacular ~

After the bedding was washed, the two of them carried the bedding to the rooftop. Lai Yang held the bedding and quietly found a place to tie a clothesline.

The sun was shining brightly, and the dust in the air was reflected clearly, like stars floating by.

A gust of wind blew her ponytail, and when the strands of black hair fluttered, a faint scent of white magnolia came from it.

At this moment, apart from the quiet wind, the only thing left was the graceful figure in front of me.

Looking at her back, Lai Yang suddenly thought of the dream in which he dragged the bride out of the church.

Although I didn't see her face in the end, her graceful figure was very similar to the tranquility in front of me.

"What do you want to eat tonight? Should I wait until the show is over and buy some food?"

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk. The setting sun cast golden light on the balcony. Lai Yang sat on the sofa and asked Xiang Tianjing.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and Lai Yang actually really wants to have dinner with Tian Jing.

"You... aren't you going to have dinner with your childhood friend tonight?"

Her beautiful eyes were bright and peaceful, but when Yuan Shengda was mentioned, Lai Yang's smile gradually froze.

"Oh, don't mention it. We just had a fight last night and I'm upset."

Hearing this, she looked at Laiyang with sparkling eyes: "Why are you arguing?"

After Lai Yang gave a brief account of the situation, he added that he had felt she was acting strange since he returned to Shanghai.

"Oh~ Your childhood friend must have misunderstood us and is jealous." Tian Jing said with a beautiful smile.

"Stop it, why is she jealous?"

After Lai Yang finished speaking, his heart suddenly trembled.

Tian Jing used the word misunderstanding, does that mean that she really just regards herself as a friend

I never thought about developing any other relationship.

"She won't be jealous of me. Before, when Gu Qian and I kissed each other in front of her, she didn't care at all."

Lai Yang gritted his teeth and said this, wanting to see Tian Jing's reaction, wanting to see if she would... be jealous

But his expression was peaceful, calm, and indifferent, with even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was listening to a story.

Lai Yang's heart was instantly deflated.

Could it be that the clown is me

Bang bang bang~

A knock on the door broke the silence. Tian Jing looked a little puzzled, and she stood up to open the door.

"Jingjing, this is your New Year's gift~"

The next second, a face that Lai Yang really didn't want to see poked his head in with a smile.
