Golden Boy

He Yiming had no expression on his face, he just watched intently, flipping the paper at a constant speed.It seems that he didn't intend to say a word until he finished watching it.

Su Pei gradually calmed down, no matter what comments He Yiming gave, he would accept them.

He believed in He Yiming's judgment.

When "The Other Side of Time" was just finished, He Yiming was also the first reader.

At that time, he devoted all his enthusiasm to the drama club, changing scripts for the drama club, and also wrote some short plays, and produced several plays every semester.

In addition to being a screenwriter for the drama club, he will also appear on stage as a guest.As for other things, designing costumes, making promotional posters, and stage props, everyone in the drama club has to share more or less.

He Yiming never appeared on stage in the drama club. He said that he didn't like to memorize his lines, and he didn't like to vent his emotions in public.This is rare in drama clubs, but He Yiming wrote scripts with Su Pei, and sometimes did some backstage work.In addition, He Yiming seemed very difficult to mess with, so over time, He Yiming got mixed up in the drama club and gradually became an indispensable member.

Su Pei didn't tell anyone when he started writing "The Other Side of Time".He had written several short stories before, two of which were accepted by magazines, and some of them were rejected.So he didn't have much confidence in writing novels at the beginning.

One night, after the drama club activities, everyone went to eat supper together, and Su Pei and He Yiming sat together.

Su Pei told He Yiming that when he is promoted to senior year next year, he probably won't have so much time in the drama club anymore.

He Yiming asked him if he planned to find a job.

Su Pei said: "It should be. I may find a job in an advertising company, or I may go to the civil service examination."

Su Pei still remembered that He Yiming sighed.

"What's wrong?" He asked He Yiming.

"I just don't think you will like these jobs." He Yiming looked into his eyes and said.

Su Pei made a strange mistake and said, "Actually, I'm writing a novel now."

He Yiming's eyes lit up.

Three months later, Su Pei finished the first draft of "The Other Side of Time", and He Yiming became his first reader.

Su Pei still remembered his mood at that time, he was anxiously waiting for He Yiming's feedback.Because he believed in He Yiming's taste and vision.He Yiming thinks bad is not necessarily bad, and He Yiming thinks good must be very good.

After so many years, it turns out that some things have not changed.

Su Pei thought, his mood now is the same as that of the past, and what he expects is He Yiming's pure appreciation.

He Yiming is still reading the new novel, but it is already halfway through.

Su Pei lightly went to make tea and brought it over, quietly waiting for He Yiming to finish reading.

About eleven o'clock, He Yiming turned to the last page, and he put down the stack of manuscripts.

Su Pei handed him the tea: "How is it?"

He Yiming said, "I don't like it."

Su Pei didn't expect the blow to be so direct. He was a little flustered, and as if defending himself, he immediately grabbed his manuscript and rolled it up, saying: "I said it, I'm only halfway through it. I haven't finished it yet, and there are still many things to do." the place need to change."

He Yiming said: "I don't like the half I saw."

Su Pei took a sip of tea, and he calmed down a bit.Writing this novel was very difficult, so he had some premonitions in his heart, and now he could only try his best to make up for it.

"Then what exactly do you dislike? The foreshadowing is too lengthy?"

He Yiming said without hesitation, "I don't like the heroine."

"How come?" Su Pei felt a little guilty.

"Is it Shen Lan?" He Yiming ruthlessly exposed him, "Is this heroine written after Shen Lan?"

He didn't expect that Shen Lan had already divorced Su Pei, and she could still linger like this.As soon as he saw the heroine appearing on the stage, he recognized that it was Shen Lan, how could he not recognize it.

Su Pei said: "It's just a part of the reference."

He Yiming wanted to lift Su Pei up and shake him awake.

"There are so many women in this world, why do you always use this type of woman as your heroine? Can't you change..."

He Yiming suddenly became suspicious: "You don't want to use this book to restore Shen Lan, do you?"

Su Pei shook her head: "No. She and I are exhausted. We did have good times before, but we both know it's better to be separated. Maybe I wrote this because of inertia, and it just happened like this... ..."

He laughed at himself and said, "I know you and Shen Lan don't get along. But don't you think that a woman like Shen Lan... Her face, her character, are destined to have stories and bloody things?"

He Yiming finally couldn't bear it and said: "I only know that she is crazy."

Su Pei laughed out loud, and he shook his head again.He might be a little sleepy, and his sitting position on the sofa gradually changed to a half-lying position.

"She was a bit crazy...but she also gave me a lot of inspiration. But it seemed that one day, there was only quarrel and anxiety in our life, and there was no joy and inspiration. At that moment, I was sure that I didn't want to keep her anymore .”

He smiled at He Yiming: "Maybe you are right not to get married. Maintaining a marriage is much more difficult than falling in love, it's too difficult."

He Yiming asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

What he asked was Su Pei's plan for love and marriage.

Su Pei patted the manuscript: "Revise this novel again to see if I can try to write another type of heroine. Like you said, I should try to challenge my own boundaries."

He Yiming said: "I have a hunch that you would still write like this, right?"

Su Pei said: "You know me too well. What should I do? I can only do my best and show you when I finish writing."

He muttered and complained in a low voice: "It's a shame to show half-finished products to others."

Su Pei looked at the time and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock... I should let you stay, but the room at home hasn't been cleaned yet, so I can only sleep on the sofa. You should go back."

He Yiming saw that he really had no intention of keeping customers, so he could only ask the driver to pick them up.

When the driver came, Su Pei asked again: "Do you remember my first novel? It was also the first one you tried to read."

"I remember. Although the heroine is also..." He made an expression of "You know I know", "But that book is so beautiful, my favorite novel, the first edition signed by the author will always be in my bookcase."

Su Pei recalled: "At that time, we seemed to have known each other not long ago..."

He Yiming corrected him: "Why not so long? We should have known each other for almost half a year at that time."

He asked Su Pei: "Do you still remember when and where we first met?"

Su Pei thought for a while, and said: "I remember that one day we were rehearsing...Luo Xiaoxian brought you here, right? She said that a classmate wanted to come and see. Then you sat in the corner without saying a word. I still wanted to , this boy is really cold and has the potential to play the villain. After we finished rehearsing, you came over and said a few words to me. At first you really didn't talk much..."

He said and laughed.

He Yiming didn't say a word, Su Pei asked: "Is this the first time we met? I remember correctly, right?"

He Yiming said: "You remember correctly."

The driver came soon. Su Pei opened the door, and a gust of cold wind came in. He Yiming put on his coat and went out, saying, "Don't send it off. Let's meet again when we have time."

"He Yiming!" Su Pei suddenly stopped him.

He Yiming turned around immediately, and he looked at Su Pei.Su Pei also looked at him, and their eyes met.

Su Pei stood by the door, he finally said what he wanted to say tonight: "Xiaohe, thank you."

He Yiming asked: "Thank me for what? Cook you dinner?"

Su Pei laughed, and he said, "That's pretty much it. Make dinner, give me advice, everything. Over the years, we've changed a lot, and sometimes I even wonder if you don't want to be friends with me anymore. But getting together like today, it's really fun... I know some things don't change."

friend.Some things don't change.

He Yiming said: "Don't say such nasty things."

Su Pei smiled: "Then say the last sentence."

He paused for a few seconds, and said, "You're right...that crew is a fucking trash crew."

He Yiming and Su Pei burst out laughing together, he smiled and waved to Su Pei and left.

He Yiming got into the car and gradually drove away from Su Pei's house, the smile on his face also disappeared.

Su Pei remembered correctly, for Su Pei, that was indeed the first time they met.But not for him.

The first time He Yiming saw Su Pei was at the entrance of the school auditorium.He still remembers the weather, temperature, and the shape of the two rows of trees in front of the auditorium.

There will be a movie in the auditorium that day, and he stands there, waiting for his first girlfriend.Suddenly there was a commotion at the door of the auditorium.He saw a few people walking over holding a large poster. It turned out that the drama club was promoting a new drama and recruiting people by the way.

He was not interested in anything in school at that time, he often skipped classes and did not join any clubs.The drama club seemed to him a bunch of narcissistic men and women.

He didn't come to join in the fun like everyone else did, and he didn't want to find out why the crowd was so excited.

Then the group of people and Da Haiyi slowly moved closer, and He Yiming finally saw the person in the crowd.

A tall "beautiful woman", dressed in the attire of a wealthy family in the Republic of China, wearing a long skirt, wearing a hat, with a very white face, her eyes and lips are the most eye-catching, there is no other word to describe her except beautiful.

But there is still a trace of unusualness in that beauty, and before He Yiming can discern what is wrong, the "beauty" has already smiled and handed him a leaflet: "Student, do you want to join the drama club?" ? Come and see our new drama?"

As soon as "beauty" opened his mouth, He Yiming knew that this was a man's backstory.

Someone nearby shouted loudly: "Su Pei! Su Pei!" There were many boys' crazy voices in that voice.

It was only later that He Yiming found out that Su Pei came up with such an idea in order to boost the box office for the drama club. He put on women's clothes and walked around the school, the effect was excellent, and it became the headline of the campus BBS for a while...

"Mr. He." The driver stopped the car and reminded He Yiming.

He Yiming woke up suddenly, he actually dozed off in the car.He saw Su Pei at that time in his dream again, with smiles on his brows and eyes, standing in front of him in a woman's attire.

It was at that moment that He Yiming doubted his own sexual orientation for the first time.

The author has something to say: the story of the first sight

In fact, Xiaohe has not really pursued Su Pei, and there are some reasons of his own, which will be written later
