Chapter 30 (1/2)

Screen Partner Chapter 30

Almost immediately, once the five of them entered the arrival hall, they were caught up in a whirlwind and dragged into a van by the staff. Without a delay they drove all the way to Odaiba.

“Is this a kidnapping?” Xu Zheyi asked, dumbstruck, as he was handed a bento lunch by a staff member.

“I’d rather this was a kidnapping,” Ah Li lamented. The thought of filming again was depressing, and he was already looking very downcast. Xu Zheyi patted his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him1.

Until now, Xu Zheyi could not determine whether the pills he was given were placebos2 or not. More than likely, he had probably determined deep down that the drug was not actually effective, but he would rather die than acknowledge that fact.

Men’s genitals always seemed to be more honest than their brains.

He could not stop himself from glancing at Ruka, but then he quickly turned back. After a few seconds, he was once again unable to resist the urge, and turned to look at him again.

Xu Zheyi did not know what he was doing, he just suddenly wanted to see him.

Xu Zheyi had to admit that after he realized he liked Ruka, the hormones within his body multiplied madly and increased exponentially. He felt somewhat effeminate, yet erotic. He did not even recognize himself.

Since it was winter, night fell early. Even though it was only seven o’clock when they arrived at their destination, the sky was already dyed black. Xu Zheyi gazed at the night scene in front of him. In the darkness, Tokyo Bay looked like a black mirror, perfectly reflecting the jewel-crowned Rainbow Bridge.

In spite of the cold wind blowing against his forehead, this night scene was worth a look.

Following the script’s instructions, he and Ruka first greeted the audience in simple Japanese before the camera, then expressed their feelings of excitement and happiness in Chinese. They were simply documenting the course of events on film. They slowly walked to the platform that housed the famous Bell of Happiness in Odaiba3. The two men hit the bell at the same time, and then stopped filming there. The next scene they had to shoot was when they rode the ferris wheel.

Xu Zheyi was not sure if it was because it was a weekday, but there were not many people on the road.

Xu Zheyi and Ruka walked shoulder-to-shoulder; there was no other point of contact. Even so, the feeling that came through Xu Zheyi’s layers, that included a thick down coat, caused him to feel itchy once again. In this ambiguous and delicate atmosphere, he heard Ruka ask him, “Why did you look at me just a moment ago?”

Although he was clearly asking a question, Ruka’s assured tone of voice made him seem faintly pleased with himself. Xu Zheyi was a fairly duplicitous person. He was irritated and wanted to retort, but in the next second he heard Ruka ask, “Do you know what it makes me think about every time you look at me that way?”

Xu Zheyi was absolutely certain that he would not hear anything good following that question, but he could not help asking, “What?”

Ruka revealed a satisfied smile and spoke indifferently, “I think if you look at me like that again, I will grab you and push you down in a chair, shove my hand inside your underwear, and firmly grip your—”

“Shut up!” Xu Zheyi was completely humiliated by Ruka’s shamelessness.

On the one hand, the staff members were glad they were getting along, while on the other hand they were a bit taken aback by the sharp reaction.

Ruka smiled more openly this time, and teased naughtily, “If you want me to shut up, then you have to find a way to make me.”

They stopped when the director indicated and stood beneath the white arches. Above their heads was the Bell of Happiness with its white pull rope hanging down behind them. The Statue of Liberty was holding her torch high, and the Rainbow Bridge spanned across the Tokyo Bay; it truly set a romantic atmosphere for a date.

Despite this lovely atmosphere, Ruka still leaned in and said, “I want to hold you down and then use my mouth…”

Xu Zheyi could not bear his suggestive words any longer. He grabbed Ruka’s scarf and dragged him in close, silencing him with a kiss.

Initially he used too much force and the two men knocked teeth. They did not know whose mouth was a bit injured, but their kiss was flavoured with the sharp taste of blood. However, once the long-separated lips and tongue were finally joined together, both men were like fish that had been away from the water too long. It seemed that only the chance for survival could be found between the lips of the other party.

Ruka firmly held Xu Zheyi by the waist. Due to their posture, the two peoples’ lower bodies were pressed together tightly. Although it was through the thick jeans they both wore, they could still feel each other’s desire flourishing.

Under silent instructions from the director, the videographer slowly zoomed in on them with the camera.

On the screen, the picture panned down from the bronze bell that symbolized happiness and finished the shot focused on the lovers kissing passionately below. At this time, Ruka ended their kiss.

He noticed the peeping lens, smiled faintly, and then said something Xu Zheyi did not understand in Japanese.

After the film was officially released, there were a vast number of rotten men and women that screenshotted that moment with Chinese subtitles, added various little designs, and used it in their signatures on various social media websites. That was popular for quite a while.
