Chapter 70 - Kissing Him at the Bar

Hu Zhou A cinema.

 

"Dang, dang, dang, dang" the opening sound effects of the film sounded.

 

"Click".

 

The film tape starts to roll, the screen lights up and the story begins to unfold in the viewer's eyes ......

 

It was already winter break, and all the films in theaters were in the winter and New Year's Eve season, many of which had lavish casts, exquisite special effects, and images so beautiful that every frame looked like a blossom. The film's actors and actresses were so good that they could smell the burning funds from across the screen.

 

As for the plot, it's so bad that it makes your head spin.

 

He Yu was watching carefully at the beginning, but he couldn't support the heroine when she killed her adoptive father and mother for the hero's disobedience.

 

And he was clearly not the only one who couldn't support it anymore.

 

The couple sitting to his left began to make out, not caring about the blood spatter on the screen, but just kissing themselves to death, gossiping and flirting as they nibbled, thinking their voices were low, when in fact they could be heard in the next seat...

 

"Baby, one more kiss."

 

"Boo!"

 

"One more."

 

"You hate it."

 

"One more and one more."

 

"No, just concentrate on the movie."

"Be good, just one more kiss, if you don't kiss me I'll kiss you?"

 

He Yu is a man who, if no one else is flirting with him, could indeed do something beastly to Xie Qingcheng.

 

But once someone has done so, he has no interest in it.

 

Now that the dog couple was making a lot of noise, he was relatively calm in the end, without any expression at all, lifting his hand to pick up the coke, biting the straw and taking a cold swig.

 

But the more the two kissed, the more they kissed, and He Yu finally couldn't hold back for a while, glancing at the pair in the flickering light of the screen.

 

This glance is a bit blind.

 

He noticed that the two hugging and making out didn't seem to be a man and a woman, and although one of the males had a high, somewhat androgynous voice, it was clear that both had throat knots ...... both ......gay... ...

 

He Yu, a homophobe who only allows the state to set fire to the people, almost choked on a mouthful of coke: "Ahem!"

 

Xie Qingcheng is watching the drama from the side of his face when He Yu's sudden coughing startles him.

 

"What's wrong?"

 

"Ahem ...... all right ......" he pursed his lips not very reluctantly, then said softly, "I've got two gays sitting next to me. "

 

Xie Qingcheng glances to the left of He Yu. The two lovebirds are still using the cinema as a hotel, kissing like they're on the spot.

 

Xie Qingcheng: "......"

 

The film was so bad, and the audience next to him was playing live GV, that it really wasn't a good way to spend time, so Xie Qingcheng thought they could just about leave and not waste the hundred and twenty minutes of their lives. But just as he was about to say that to He Yu, the couple next to him, probably too horny to control themselves, the taller man dragged the other one with him and they got up short and left.

 

"Sorry, lend a hand."

The two kissed and got mushy, and now left the scene early to go where it was naturally self-explanatory.

 

He Yu was silent for a moment and spoke up, "...... Do you still watch this film?"

 

Xie Qingcheng throws the tissue into the rubbish bag, "I never intended to read it from the beginning, you were the one who wanted it."

 

"Then go."

 

Both men bent up at the same time and also said to their neighbours, "Excuse me, can I borrow your lane?"

 

The next seat was for an old couple, probably because the two gays who left earlier kissed too intensely, and the couple had sharp ears and heard clearly, and knew what the gays were doing by leaving the venue early.

 

When gay left the scene, the screen was showing a shower scene of a popular traffic star, and his wife, a fan of that star, was instantly blocked by those two, which would have been a bit of a nuisance.

 

Xie Qingcheng was so tall that even with his waist down, he still prevented his opponent from admiring the fresh meat's pecs.

 

The wife was devastated, she had sat through such a bad movie just to watch the meat, and she was actually interrupted twice. She is a grumpy person and at this moment she finally couldn't help herself and yelled out in a voice that could be heard by the whole cinema

 

"Can you guys keep a low profile when you're gay? Are you sick and tired of the pair getting horny and leaving the room one after the other!"

 

The room was silent.

 

A few seconds later, there was laughter.

 

Neither He Yu nor Xie Qingcheng saw this coming, and Xie Qingcheng said coldly, "You've made a mistake, get out of the way."

 

"Didn't you guys?" The wife, feeling that she had missed out on the traffic and was not worth the price of admission, pulled her voice up and pointed her finger at He Yu behind Xie Qingcheng and said to him, "You were kissing so intensely there, you thought I didn't hear you."

 

Xie Qingcheng: "If you have a hearing problem, go and see them earlier, that's the next seat, they've already left."

The wife crossed her arms: "What's the shirking? You dare not do anything? I didn't even have the heart to say anything about you guys! Perverted fucking fags, that's disgusting!"

 

The people in the screening room started to watch the play and just thought the live drama was better than the bad movie.

 

Xie Qingcheng was originally not so concerned about such things, and he did not care if he was called gay.

 

But now his relationship with He Yu is very unclear indeed.

 

So now this is actually Xie Qingcheng's weakness, and Xie Qingcheng was stung by the woman right where it hurts, and his face turned blue and white as he said morosely, "I told you, I'm not in that kind of relationship with him."

 

He Yu knew that the more he explained, the more confusing it would be, and the darker it would get, so he gave him a gentle push on the waist and whispered, "Forget it, let's go."

 

Xie Qingcheng said coldly, "What are you poking me for? It wasn't."

 

"Yo, you're too embarrassed to admit you're gay? It's disgusting to see guys like you, why don't you go to hell for being gay."

 

If it was any other day, Xie Qingcheng would not have been angry, but he had been holding back too much anger over the past few days, and now it all came to a head and he said sternly, "How dare you!"

 

He Yu pulled him back, a rare seriousness: "Forget it!"

 

When the shrew saw that Xie Qingcheng was really fierce, she flinched in fear, but when she realised that He Yu didn't want to get into trouble, she became aggressive again and shouted at the top of her voice, "What are you doing? Do you want to hit me again? You're the ones who are disturbing normal people's viewing experience, right? What a nuisance! This theatre should never have let perverts like you in! Have these seats been disinfected? Don't make innocent people like us get AIDS!"

 

"Xie Qingcheng: go away."

 

"Let go!" Xie Qingcheng's sleeve was tugged and he turned around to glare at He Yu, "What are you pulling me for!"

 

"......" He Yu sighed.

 

Or leave him alone and go on your own.

He Yu thinks so.

 

But when he caught a glimpse of a boy in the back seat who had secretly raised his mobile phone to take a video, he frowned for a moment. Then, almost without thinking, he took off his jacket and threw it over Xie Qingcheng's head, directly blocking his face.

 

This action was a bit incomprehensible to him, he asked himself not to be a good person, wasn't it his face that he should cover up for such scenes that would be secretly photographed and posted on social media platforms?

 

Why should you care about other people's lives ......

 

"He Yu: what are you doing!" Xie Qingcheng, unsure of what to do, shouted in a low, angry voice.

 

He Yu holds him down.

 

"Don't you move, someone's filming."

 

The woman rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "You're so intimate, but you're not gay yet? What are you pretending to be, you like to mess with men's stuff."

 

Xie Qingcheng raised his hand to pull off his jacket, but He Yu was quick to take a hold of Xie Qingcheng's wrist and pulled him away from the scene without a word.

 

Xie Qingcheng didn't even slow down until the two of them walked out of the dimly lit screening room, left the cinema and sat downstairs in the 24h bistro.

 

"Why don't you let me talk about it?"

 

He Yu ordered two glasses of wine and sat opposite Xie Qingcheng with his arms folded: "What are you arguing with her for, there's no need, no one knows anyone outside the hall."

 

"......"

 

"Not to mention the fact that I saw someone in the back holding up their phone and recording video, you want to make a big deal out of this?"

 

Xie Qingcheng was quiet for a moment, and then he fished out a cigarette in annoyance and lit one, but he had just brought it to his blood-thin lips and was about to smoke it when He Yu took it and put it out.

"You're not allowed to smoke. I hate second-hand smoke."

 

Xie Qingcheng slammed the lighter down on the table, raised his hand and scratched his hair, looked away and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell am I wasting my time here with you? What the fuck do you want with me? You don't have anyone else to call?"

 

He Yu did not say anything either.

 

After a while.

 

He said, "Yes."

 

Xie Qingcheng: "......"

 

He Yu says: "I have no one else to turn to. When I want to take it easy and not have to wear a mask to meet people, you are the only one I can turn to. Did you not know that until today."

 

Xie Qingcheng turns his gaze away again as they sit by the window of the bar, where Hu Zhou's late-winter night, overcast by the day and thick with heavy clouds of moisture, finally begins to fall in cold rain.

 

The rain crackled on the window glass, soon moistening the neon shadows outside into a blur of seven colours, the colours were glorious but also wet, drop by drop the rain eventually converged into streams and fell into tears.

 

The bartender brought up the wine they had asked for.

 

Xie Qingcheng smothered a mouthful, lowered his voice, cut his teeth, and he finally showed some of his long-suppressed emotions in this moment: "What do you want, aren't you tired of it yet? This boring, dysfunctional, relationship that shouldn't even exist, when can we end it."

 

"...... I don't know."

 

Xie Qingcheng got angry: "Haven't you had enough?"

 

He Yu also takes a sip of wine.

 

He put down his cup, and the question that had been on his mind for many days and had not been resolved was finally opened at this moment: " Xie Qingcheng: if you want to ask me this, then in fact I have something to ask you too. If you tell me the truth, I will answer your question in the same way."

Xie Qingcheng simply said, "Speak."

 

"Why did you suddenly quit your job and stop being a doctor in the first place."

 

"......" Even someone like Xie Qingcheng, who was used to being calm and had no emotions towards He Yu, could not help but be furious at this moment, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at He Yu extremely fiercely: "You've asked me this question many times! "You've asked me this question many fucking times!"

 

"But." He Yu said, "I'm afraid no one has ever gotten a full, honest answer out of you. Haven't you?"

 

"Xie Qingcheng: I want to know what other truths you are hiding in your heart."

 

"He Yu ...... You don't think that because you've had sex with me a few times that you're some kind of person to me. I don't care about physical things, and I really can't play with you. But what's inside, it's not your turn to come to me for an answer!"

 

It would have been the end of the world if he had been truthful with He Yu.

 

He Yu was therefore not angry, his eyes lowered and his gaze rubbed Xie Qingcheng's lips back and forth, "Does your mouth only get softer when you're kissed in bed?"

 

Xie Qingcheng picks up the glass and throws its contents in He Yu's face.

 

He Yu clutched his wrist in one hand, "Don't use the same trick on me too many times. It will fail."

 

Xie Qingcheng jerked his wrist out of his palm, the faint smoky tattoo that had just been revealed was hidden under his long sleeve in a flash: "I'm going back. You can drink it yourself."

 

"Don't go." He Yu stopped him.

 

"What more do you want? You've seen the film, and if you want to know anything else, there's nothing I can tell you." Xie Qingcheng said, "If I say it's the truth, it's the truth, so get out of my way."

 

He Yu looks at Xie Qingcheng's face, his eyes reflecting only Xie Qingcheng, but the man's eyes are filled with lights and snow, with the noisy crowd coming and going in the bar.

 

The only thing that is missing is yourself.

He suddenly burnt a fire in his heart and brought to the back of his throat things he had not intended to say to Xie Qingcheng -

 

"Are you sure that what you're telling me is the truth?"

 

"......"

 

"Don't you feel guilty saying such things, Xie Qingcheng?"

 

Xie Qingcheng's attitude was tough: "What do I have to be vain about with a brute like you?"

 

He Yu put him between the bar and himself, and even though Xie Qingcheng was a very tall male, he could be trapped and locked in He Yu's eyes. He Yu suddenly whispered, "Let me ask you, when you signed the contract with my father, how many years was it?"

 

The light in Xie Qingcheng's eyes flicked imperceptibly.

 

But He Yu caught it anyway.

 

"You said to me in those days that it was seven years. The normal period expired and wasn't going to be renewed, it was the end of a perfectly normal human relationship that made me look away."

 

He Yu's eyelashes fluttered between the light and shadow of the bar, and his voice was lower than the beat of a drum: "I'm a brute, so what are you? A hateful liar?"

 

He chose the meanest words to throw at Xie Qingcheng, while staring unblinkingly at his face, and found that Xie Qingcheng was lost in thought for less than a second after he had torn off the disguise of his lies, and then his face was still hard and rigid. -

 

Xie Qingcheng was indeed so calm that he didn't even try to argue any further.

 

"You got it."

 

"Yeah, I got it."

 

"He Jiwei told you."

"I don't need him to tell me." He Yu said, "I'm afraid you haven't realised, Dr Tse, that I'm not the poor little kid who tried to keep you with pocket money, only to have you dismiss me with a lecture and suggest I go and buy a piece of cake to try."

 

"......"

 

"I have learned a lot thanks to your care, and I have my own means of finding out what has passed if I want to."

 

Xie Qingcheng finally turned his gaze around and landed on He Yu's face.

 

His own shadow was reflected in his pupils.

 

This inexplicably gives He Yu a rush of excitement.

 

"Good." Finally Xie Qingcheng said, "I lied to you about that. It was ten years, not seven. But so what, what kind of society is it now? You think I'm your family's bagman and can't leave early even if I want to?"

 

He Yu said, "Look at you, I wouldn't dare, you've already done the work of leaving early."

 

"So what do you want now."

 

"You're still so smart, Dr. Tse. Knowing that I wouldn't just turn up old scores for no reason."

 

"Just say what nonsense you have."

 

The bar's laser swivel lights turn around, and a brilliant glow sweeps across Xie Qingcheng's brow and forehead.

 

He Yu looked at him, at this flower that he was once too shy to buy, the flower of the high country, the mirror that he once could not keep, and then he whispered two words, "Three years."

 

"......"

 

"You stay with me for three more years. Same as before."

Xie Qingcheng looked at him like he was crazy: "Going back to work as your personal doctor?"

 

"Right."

 

"...... What time is it, you should wash up and go to bed."

 

"Xie Qingcheng. What my father gave you then, I can give you now. I've made a lot of money myself." He Yu is insistent.

 

"Save it for later for your daughter-in-law."

 

He Yu's face was completely blackened by a single word.

 

--

 

Save it for a piece of cake.

 

Save it for later for your daughter-in-law.

 

Five years ago and five years later, when confronted with his pocket money and the money he earned, Xie Qingcheng's attitude was that of an elder, extremely rational, even sarcastic.

 

He Yu enraged, "I have no intention of doing that."

 

"So what are you going to do? Keep sleeping with me? For how long? A year is not enough, three years, five years?" Xie Qingcheng's eyes were cruel, "Aren't you tired of it? You boring faggot."

 

He Yu bellowed, "No more of your nonsense! I'm not gay!"

 

"Yes, you really shouldn't be, you don't disgrace the gay community, you're a brute."

 

He Yu looked at his calm face, Xie Qingcheng's face was not even as rich in emotion as when he was mistaken for a gay man in the cinema.

He Yu was probably out of his mind, he didn't know what came over him, a crazy thought came to his mind, he didn't care how bad the words came out of Xie Qingcheng's mouth, he just finally forced him to ask, "Do you agree or not."

 

"Promise what."

 

"Come back as my doctor and stay with me."

 

"It's time to wake up you."

 

Xie Qingcheng said, his patience at an end, rolling his eyes and leaving.

 

He Yu thumped him down on the black masonry carved bar, he'd been pretty good-tempered since he'd had sex with Xie Qingcheng, but this moment there was a bit of a scowl and a blur in his eyes again, "Good ...... good. Then I'm afraid I'm going to have to find a way to make you feel what it means to be humiliated."

 

Xie Qingcheng's face was slightly frightened, they had just made a lot of noise and some people were already looking around, his body tensed up and he asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

 

He couldn't imagine how else He Yu could embarrass him now.

 

He could even ignore the insult of the Qin Ciyan incident at the Canton Tower, what could-

 

Xie Qingcheng didn't have time to finish his thought.

 

He Yu had already clutched his tattooed wrist, the laser ball spinning as he pinned him to the bar, then leaned down in front of so many nightlife sirens -

 

Heavily, almost roughly, he kissed him.
