Chapter 8: Story 8 (2/2)
Teacher Chen feels helpless and her lip moves without sounds, as if saying, little Watermelon loses his temper. Then she hands little Watermelon to Bo Yu and says, “Mr. Bo, I go back first.”
“Let me drive you back.” Bo Yu holds little Watermelon in one hand and the key to car in the other hand.
He knows that the young teacher has no car and would have gone home long ago except for waiting for him, so he feels embarrassed to let her go home by herself.
Teacher Chen smiles and points to a young man standing not far away with full implications.
Bo Yu understands quickly and returns to the car. He does not leave until Teacher Chen and her boyfriend leave.
The owner of a white sports car parked not far away watches that scene in silence.
In the car, Mo Anyu tightly holds the steering wheel in his hand and stares at Bo Yu and the child in his arms without blinking. He tightens his lip with the deep eyes, and nobody knows what he is thinking of.
Ye Hang puts down the tableware in his hand and gracefully wipes his mouth with napkin paper. Then he says, “Mo Anyu is so crazy! He rejects the big-budget film and chooses to act in the web series. He must be out of his mind.”
Qi Yan takes a sip of red wine and continues to say, “What kind of the web series?”
“It's a web series called The Young General. I’ve seen the script. Brother Qi, it’s not as good as the costume drama that you’re acting now.” Ye Hang never forgets to lick Qi Yan’s shoes, “Web series isn’t presentable at all.”
Qi Yan smiles lightly, feeling very satisfied with what Ye Hang says, “I hear that Bo Yu acts the protagonist of it. I have never thought that he chooses to act in the web series.”
Ye Hang says, “Bo Yu hasn’t acted for two years. How many audiences that remember him now? He can only act the protagonist in the web series. As for other TV series, he can just play the third or fourth supporting male role.”
Qi Yan is delighted when he thinks that he acts the third supporting male role in cooperation with Bo Yu, and understands the implication of Ye Hang.
Ye Hang understands him and doesn’t point it out. He lifts his glass and takes a sip.

Small Fan is an online player with low reputation and few user comments. However, when the staff upload a set of ancient costume stills at ten past seven p.m., Small Fan’s official website is stirred and almost crashed by too many online visitors.
[Ah, ah, ah, so handsome, please introduce the swordsman in white. Ah, ah, ah!]
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, that is my Momo. Who is the handsome guy in white next to Momo? They look like a couple! So cute and handsome! Ah, ah, ah]
[HANDSOME! Handsome! Handsome! Computer screensaver, mobile screensaver, I will lick the screen every day! └(^O^)┘]
In short, Bo Yu who is graceful in white costume occurs as the top three in the list of Weibo Hot Search because of that photo after two years.
The young general has been hunted for many days because of orders of the emperor sitting in the throne. After hiding himself from place to place for a long time, the young general runs into the brothel with the masked man in a moment of desperation.
“We don’t need girls.” The young general still in great panic fiercely chases the procuress away, picks up the wine pot, and then puts it down with the grave facial expression.
There is a saying that the elder brother is like the father. Two brothers are dead. So, the young general will never drink wine, eat meat and have affairs with women in three years.
The masked man leisurely tastes wine. Before he ridicules the young general, there is the sound coming from outside. His facial expression changes.
“Bang!” A large group of soldiers break into the room from outside.
The valiant leader of lifeguards enters the room with a manly stride. He doesn’t see the young general who is a homeless cur, but a man and a woman rolling in bed. Suddenly, he is stunned.
“Who are you?” The man’s voice is hoarse and low with the vague anger, “Get out!”
The lifeguards who know they have disturbed the man and the woman quickly get away from here.
When the room is quiet again, the “woman” lying below pushes the man aside, and the young general points at the man’s the lower part of the body with the blush and says angrily, “You are gay!”
The man’s face becomes cold at first, then he gets close to the young general and ambiguously talks to the reddish pinna of the young general, “I would like to share peaches with you like the king of Country Wei and Mi Zixia in the Chinese Spring and Autumn period. So, would you like to cut your sleeves for me like the king of Han Dynasty and Dong Xian?”
Under the red bed curtain, the young general looks at the hierarch who is hard to tell whether it is male or female. His face turns red, and he speaks nothing with hesitation for a while.
“Cut!” Director Hou excitedly rubs his hands, and doesn’t allow the staff to approach them. He comes to them in a hurry until the two male stars come down from the bed.
Bo Yu is very calm without any blush on his face. Director Hou cannot help sighing heartfeltly that he is really a professional actor and returns to reality fast.
Mo Anyu, another professional actor has the slightly unnatural facial expression. Fortunately, he wears the ancient costume right now; otherwise it is terrible to be found that he is still in a blush.
Bo Yu lightly glances at him.
Mo Anyu feels embarrassed.
Director Hou doesn’t realize the secret communication between the two stars, and explains the next scene, “The next part is that the hierarch returns to the palace to deal with turncoats, and the young general incidentally goes to the dangerous area.
“I want to go to the bathroom first,” Suddenly, Mo Anyu who plays the hierarch says.
Director Hou is interrupted inexplicably, and his excited facial expression disappears.
There is a faint smile on Bo Yu’s face. He helps to effect a compromise, “You drink a big glass of water before shooting. It’s rare for you to hold back until now to go to the bathroom.”
The embarrassment and dissatisfaction on Director Hou’s face is replaced by relief and ridicule.
This meaningful implication makes Mo Anyu more embarrassed. He walks towards the bathroom without any replies.
Bo Yu clicks his tongue. It is easy for the young to be angry.
Director Hou coughs, and continues to say, “By the way, tomorrow we will upload the first episode on the internet. Remember to forward it for advertisement.”
The crew have already shot three episodes. According to the rate of updating one episode a week, it’s time to upload the first episode.
Bo Yu nods.
......
In the bathroom, Mo Anyu’s face turns red, his hands move regularly, and the blushing face of Bo Yu just lying under him lingers in his mind.
His lips move, and he says without a sound, “Bo Yu.”.
