Chapter 16 (1/2)

Screen Partner Chapter 16

Xu Zheyi had lived for nearly 30 years. He never thought the day would come that he would become a homosexual. It was for this reason that he was terrified of the present situation.

That night, Xu Zheyi had opened the ipad despite his better judgment, and typed in ‘straight men, anus, orgasm’. Even just typing those three words was enough to make him blush with shame. Fortunately, the results were quite normal, and there were many different men seek anal stimulation, deliberately massaging their prostates.

Once he knew that everything tonight could be categorized into a man’s normal physiological response, he quickly calmed down. Afterwards, he could not help himself; his fingers travelled over the keyboard and typed out another search.

Ruka, gay.

The results of this search were very messy, but most of them showed that Ruka seemed to be the third most sought after adult film actor, and the youngest in their current film. Twenty-two years old…

Xu Zheyi was shocked at first, followed by a sneer. He was still just a brat, even though his body was all grown up….

He instantly felt a bit hot around his ears because of that train of thoughts, so he hurriedly dismissed the idea from his mind.

He flipped over on the bed, still holding onto the iPad. Obviously he was completely exhausted, but he was unable to control himself. One by one he opened the websites with Ruka in them, and perused them until dawn.

There was actually very little information available about Ruka. Almost all of the pictures that were available were screenshots taken from his films. Xu Zheyi was able to find sporadic pieces of information, like the fact that he was 20 when he debuted into the industry, he had shot four big adult films, and there was no data to suggest that he had any homosexual tendencies.

The website that he gazed at the longest contained a single photograph. The photograph was clearly not a screenshot, and it was probably the only photo that reflected a Ruka outside of his work.

In the photo he looked very childish, likely 17-18 years old. He was giving the camera the middle finger, and his hearty laugh had even exposed his tiger teeth.

Xu Zheyi was shocked to find himself thinking of Ruka as incredibly cute, and then immediately felt a little uneasy. That smile was so nice and cheerful, why did he go around with such an impassive face these days?

Xu Zheyi was a bit sour over it all.

However, he just kept looking and looking at the picture—even the album’s owner’s name was ingrained into his memory.

That night as he slept, Xu Zheyi followed along just as Ruka had said and developed a low-grade fever.

However, his physical fitness was too good, and, aside from sweating and feeling some sticky discomfort, he felt quite fine from head to toe.

Although he did not end up using the things Ruka sent, when it was time to take out the trash, he struggled to save the plastic bag, and then stuffed it into a drawer for later use.

From the day of filming, the man who behaved so lovingly towards Xu Zheyi that night did not even call him once.

****

On the next filming the day, Xu Zheyi arrived 10 minutes early at the agreed upon location.

This time, because there were four people taking part in the shoot together, two camera teams were dispatched. To accommodate the extra bodies, the filmmakers sent out two vans; one for the actors, and one for the staff.

Xu Zheyi climbed into the van as soon as he arrived. Shortly after, Ah Li came in behind him.

Although it had only been a few days since he had last seen him, his whole countenance had changed as if a demon had possessed him. He was haggard, with dark bags under his eyes.

Xu Zheyi was startled, and inquired, “Are you unwell?”

Ah Li showed a wry smile and replied, “I’m fine, it’s just that last night I did not sleep well.”

Seeing such a dismal face Xu Zheyi thought, perhaps it was not only last night that he did not sleep well? Although he knew not to ask more, he still spoke, “If you have any problems that cannot be solved, you may consult with me.”

Ah Li was too embarrassed to look at him, and just when Xu Zheyi thought he would politely refuse, he slightly stammered as he confided, “I-I am a little worried that today I will not be able to get hard…”

So it turned out to be this kind of thing.

Xu Zheyi was a little hesitant, but finally he reached into his bag and took out the box of yellow pills. He poured out two and gave them to Ah Li, and explained, “You should take both of these about half an hour before filming. I can guarantee that they are very effective.”

He recommended it based on his own experience. Ah Li showed a reluctant expression, and then asked in a low voice, “Are you sure that this medicine is safe?”
