One application of medication did not enhance the friendly relationship between the two leading actors.
Gabriel Fu didn't know what the problem was. He used to have a good relationship with this junior fellow. When the stage play was finished, the junior fellow even got drunk and hugged him and said a few words of reluctance to let him go.
However, people's hearts are fickle. Although there was a brief contact back then, it does not mean that the relationship today can still be the same as before.
After practicing martial arts for nearly an entire afternoon, Lucas Xie was sweating all over, his grey vest was soaked through, and turned dark grey, revealing his well-trained muscular body. His Baguazhang master couldn't help but pat him on the waist and said that the young man had a good figure.
There is a public bathroom next to the martial arts room where students can take a shower. Because they have to host two actors and the crew requires confidentiality, naturally no other students will rush to use this bathroom.
The only two people who can be used are him and Gabriel Fu.
Gabriel Fu was stronger than him and was still training. Lucas Xie picked up a towel and some water, packed his gym bag, and glanced at Gabriel Fu, who was still moving vigorously. He thought that in terms of physical strength, Gabriel Fu was like a monster, so how could he not feel tired?
Lucas Xie showered very quickly, but his usual bathing process was complicated, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't shower thoroughly.
It was also because he was filming a costume drama in the summer, and he was sweating through layers of sweat and couldn't change his costumes, which made him afraid of getting dirty. Since then, he loves taking a bath and even has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he must make every part of his body clean.
This is the job of an actor, but Lucas Xie is more afraid of becoming out of date and not being able to appear in front of people again than being afraid of hard work and fatigue.
The water was very hot, and soon his body turned red. As he rubbed the foam in his hands, Lucas Xie suddenly thought of the past.
At that time, he felt that being famous was of no use. The person he most wanted to see how popular he was was no longer in the circle. All this was meaningless.
But since he has already achieved something, it is not so easy for him to quit. If he leaves, what will happen to the large group of people who follow him?
He had to be responsible for them. At first, he thought about getting through the contract. After that, he thought that even if Gabriel Fu no longer paid attention to the entertainment industry, maybe one day, his advertisements or his movies would be able to go abroad and appear in front of Gabriel Fu.
Unexpectedly, Gabriel Fu came back on his own before he became that famous.
Now...he has to act in the same play with Gabriel Fu.
Lucas Xie sighed silently and rubbed his face hard with hot water.
He didn't know when Gabriel Fu came in. When he turned off the shower, he heard another sound of water splashing in the empty public bathroom.
There was another refreshing smell in the air, not the soap provided by the public bathroom. Lucas Xie did not use the soap here, but brought his own, from the brand he endorsed, with a cherry blossom scent, which was a bit feminine, but it was okay, he didn't care about that.
He quickly wiped his body with a bath towel, and then he pulled open the waterproof curtain wrapped in the bath towel. Standing in the corridor, he saw that the curtain of the third room opposite was drawn, and the body behind the curtain was vaguely visible in the ambiguous light.
A cloud of foam was washed out and swirled into the sewer.
He saw a pair of red ankles, and the bulging blood vessels on the instep. He stepped on the dark tiles, and foam kept coming down, flowing along his feet onto the ground, flowing in streams. The water from the shower head passed through who knows how many parts of the human body...
Lucas Xie really hated that his eyesight was too good. He shook his head vigorously, forcing himself not to think about it anymore.
After grabbing his hair, Lucas Xie came to a large mirror where his changed clothes were placed. He put them in a waterproof bag and washed his hands because they were sweaty.
At this time, the sound of water stopped, and Lucas Xie's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned off the faucet, but he was obviously too slow. The waterproof curtain was pulled open, and Gabriel Fu also came out with his lower body wrapped. He was stunned when he saw him.
Lucas Xie faced the mirror, and through it he met Gabriel Fu's eyes. Those eyes were clean and gentle, with nothing in them. Naturally, they didn't look at him, but politely made eye contact with him. Gabriel Fu said, "Brother, you haven't left yet."
He didn't know how long Gabriel Fu wanted to keep this title, but it was not something he could decide. Victor Zhong was Gabriel Fu's teacher and a famous director, so his request had its reasons.
Lucas Xie nodded and said hesitantly: "Then I'll go out first."
Gabriel Fu seemed to be amused, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "I want to go out too, let's go together."
There is a row of storage boxes outside the bathroom, and a long leather chair for people to put on their shoes.
Lucas Xie opened his own closet, hid his face behind it, and quickly changed his clothes. After changing, he did not come out from behind the closet immediately, but after hearing Gabriel Fu close the closet door, he left from behind the closet and sat on the leather chair to put on his shoes.
He put on his socks and shoes, and concentrated on tying his shoelaces, but heard Gabriel Fu next to him say, "Brother, it's this late, do you want to eat together?"
Lucas Xie paused and said, "I have an appointment with someone later."
Gabriel Fu didn't argue any further and said yes cleanly without any regret. The invitation was just mentioned casually and he didn't take it to heart, so he naturally wouldn't feel disappointed because of the rejection.
Lucas Xie stood up and said to him, "I'm leaving first."
Gabriel Fu raised his head, his cheeks still red from the bath: "Well, goodbye."
Lucas Xie bent down to pick up his bag, his wet hair falling on his shoulders. He then remembered that he had forgotten to blow-dry his hair, and he hated the feeling of wet clothes sticking to his skin the most.
Putting down the bag, he took the rubber band from his wrist and wanted to tie his hair. He was not careful and the rubber band flew out from between his fingers. He didn't know where it fell. His wet hair fell down in curls and scattered on both sides of his cheeks. Lucas Xie bit his lower lip unhappily.
This action is very childish, and I don't know when he developed this habit. Later, his agent reminded him several times not to do it in front of the camera, as it was not in line with his personality.
Lucas Xie tried to change subconsciously, but he didn't know what had happened today and his bad habit came back again.
He looked around on the ground but couldn't find it. He looked towards Gabriel Fu but still couldn't see it.
At this time, Gabriel Fu stood up and stretched out his hand towards him.
Lucas Xie's pupils shrank, and he took a few steps back. His avoidance was too obvious, and he couldn't hide his subconscious reaction no matter what. Lucas Xie froze, and Gabriel Fu's face didn't look much better.
He slowly withdrew his hand, but still said politely: "I just saw the rubber band fell into the hood of your clothes."
Lucas Xie remained silent, and Gabriel Fu continued, "You don't have to be so afraid of me. I won't do anything to you."
This statement refers to many aspects, and it is more likely that it is Gabriel Fu's subtext, which is that even if I am gay, I will not attack other people casually.
Lucas Xie did not move. Gabriel Fu looked at him coldly, afraid that he did not understand, and added: "We still have to be in the same crew, I don't want to embarrass the teacher."
Gabriel Fu looked at this junior and bit his lips in annoyance again, probably because he couldn't stand hearing him scolded like this.
Gabriel Fu sighed silently and said, "I'll go first."
The person who should have left first did not leave, and the person who should not have left first left.
In the empty bathroom, with the door closed, Lucas Xie was left alone again.
Lucas Xie took out the rubber band from his hood. The rubber band was very old and had broken before. Lucas Xie had mended it several times himself. Noah Gao and his assistant Yang Yang couldn't understand why such a broken rubber band was so worth mending. It should not be used if it broke.
They didn't know that the rubber band had once been tied to someone else's hair.
When Gabriel Fu was in college, he had long hair for a while and tied a small ponytail at the back of his head with a rubber band. At that time, Gabriel Fu came to the rehearsal room with a guitar. In the middle of the day, he was the only one in the huge practice room.
Gabriel Fu looked up and smiled at him, "Xiao Ye, can I play a romantic song of love for you? I have practiced for a long time."
Lucas Xie nodded obediently, sat next to Gabriel Fu, and listened to the entire song.
After the song was over, Gabriel Fu sighed softly and said that he had no talent and had made several mistakes.
Lucas Xie leaned against the cold mirror, a ray of sunlight fell into his palm, and he absorbed it inch by inch.
But how can one catch light? It is just the nature of a mediocre person. He said softly, "I think it sounds good."
Gabriel Fu turned to look at him, tilted his head and leaned on the guitar handle, and said with a smile: "Really?"
Lucas Xie: "Yes, really."
Later, Gabriel Fu cut his hair short. When someone asked why, he said that the rubber band kept disappearing, which was too troublesome. So he cut it off.
Lucas Xie stole nine rubber bands from Gabriel Fu.
After nine years, there is only one left, and this is the last one.
