Logical Aesthetics Chapter 87

Chapter 87

<<Become stronger, and then be irreplaceable. The Liang family will love you forever.">>

    "You guys it’s the new guy on the bottom, it has nothing to do with me," said a low-pitched male voice on the phone.

 

    But Zhong Yi did not buy his justification at all: "Then you let him pass."

 

    Zou Chao: "... not good."

 

 Zhong Yi spoke forcefully: "What's wrong with that? How many levels did you cross with him? Can he not listen to you?"

 

    Zou Chao still had the same lazy tone: "He is following the rules, and you are indeed playing ball."

 

    "When did you started preaching about rules." Zhong Yi was really angry, "You also know that it's a rubbing ball. I'll get straight to the point, having a meal with you is the most I can do."

 

    In the office, Zhong Yi’s fingertips on the table suddenly stopped tapping, then he changed expression and said: "Then let’s meet for a meal, I'll decide the venue."

 

    Zhong Yi agreed to be generous: "When you’re done eating, please take care of your people under you."

 

    "Okay, then tomorrow night?"

 

    Zhong Yi paused, he really didn't really want to have dinner with this person.

 

   Then Zou Chao laughed slowly as if he had seen through his mind. A dull voice came from the phone: "Doesn’t matter if its afternoon or night, I am ready even if Teacher Zhong wants to eat breakfast."

 

    Zhong Yi said coldly: "Don't call me Teacher Zhong."

 

    At the same time, Yang Youan and Ji Haochuan saw Zhong Yi's face turn dark, and then finally he told him that he will send him the address and time, and then hung up the phone.

 

    Yang Youan didn't know who the call was from, but Ji Haochuan had heard of him.

 

    Ji Haochuan was still "having a grudge" against Zhong Yi and Yang Youan. He had long forgotten his dad’s request to behave himself and said: "You don't know what you're talking about.... "

 

   The seemingly reprimanding words were in fact a lighter response.

 

    Zhong Yi hung up the phone and was a little angry. After listening to Ji Haochuan ’s words, he seemed as if he was about to start a fight. He then heard Liang Sili pull him to the side and shut him up.

 

 

    Zhong Yi felt too tired to talk back and greeted Yang Youan and introduced them to the director and screenwriter. He handed Youan a script and said that he would improvise a scene from it for them to see, so that the children wouldn't feel too much pressured. 

 

    Seeing that Zhong Yi was so gentle to Yang Youan, Ji Haochuan felt upset again, and right when mumbled “why" a script was thrown at him by Zhong Yi: "If you want to enter the group, do your best. If you look at the script, you can find the two scenes on page 3. "

 

    Ji Haochuan holding the script and it took him a while to process as he did not expect Zhong Yi to give a role to him.

 

 Before he opened the script, he thought that such a thick script was filled with all the scenes of the whole film, but when he opened it, it contained the names marked out on the cover, and the portions were quite large.

 

    Ji Haochuan went back and forth several times to confirm if he was mistaken: "...Did you give me the wrong script?"

 

    Zhong Yi: "Do you think I'm as stupid as you are?"   

 

    "Then ... there are so many scenes, are they really mine?" Ji Haochuan's tongue was knotted. He wanted to mix in, but he hadn't taken any acting class. How could he really act? "What is this Xiao Xiaotian doing?" ... "

 

  As soon as he heard the name, Yang Youan, who had already started to study the script, lifted his head and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

 

    Zhong Yi disliked Ji Haochuan's habit of flipping through the middle of the book first and asking questions without even knowing what he was looking for: "The biography is right at the beginning, it will not kill you to turn it over twice and look at it first..

 

    Ji Haochuan was so shocked when he stared at the two words "male lead" in the biography, his eyes were almost popping out in disbelief, he then turned to look at Liang Sili: "What were you doing? Why didn't you tell me?

 

    Liang Sili shrugged his shoulders: I too just found out very recently.

 

    Ji Haochuan: I just wanted to make a cup of tea......

 

    Zhong Yi said, "Now if you dare to backtrack and say you're not going to act, you'll never get a penny from your father again, so you can go find your Zhang Leo to feed you."

 

    Hearing the words, Yang Youan, who was looking at the script was startled again.

 

    Teacher Zhang ’s brother and Ji Haochuan had a good relationship with everyone in the group, but everyone simply thought that they were just friends ...

 

    Ji Haochuan was really scared this time. The male lead’s role in “Aesthetics 2" was a heavy burden. What if he messed up and Zhong Yi killed him? He couldn’t take that big of a responsibility.

 

    The child's face was no longer arrogant, his wrinkled eyebrows were filled with bitterness and hatred. At this time, did he still have to surrender?

 

    Ji Haochuan sat down at Zhong Yi's table facing him and cautiously said: "I actually have no interest in acting in the movie, I just wanted to see what the team leader looked like, just throw me into the logistics team ..."

 

    The old god Zhong Yi calmly said: "It’s too late now, we have already found an acting teacher for you. Starting tomorrow you’ll go with Youan."

 

    "I really……"

 

    "Two hours a day."

 

    "Do not……"

 

    "Time has been taken out from your rehearsal schedule, the teacher will go to the film and television base for you."

 

    Ji Haochuan finally could not bear it: "I have a question, why should I and Yang Youan go together?"

 

    Zhong Yi calmly replied: "I have a question!!Why do you care about Yang Youan so much? You wouldn't even call Liang Sili " Dad " a few times and you are still struggling with your “little ex mother?"

 

    As soon as those words came out, the atmosphere fell quiet.

 

    Then there was a sudden burst of laughter. Ding Runnian and Hua An were laughing like crazy at Zhong Yi’s " little ex-mother" comment.

 

    Subconsciously, Ji Haochuan turned his eyes towards the other two parties. He felt strange, he hadn't really thought about why he was so annoyed by Yang Youan ...

 

    Yang Youan, kept staring at the script and did not dare to look up. His small face turned red, from the base of the neck to the tips of his ears. It seemed as if he was about to bleed any moment. Even Liang Sili was a little embarrassed and for the first time felt guilty for dumping someone.

 

    With that being said, Ji Haochuan stopped suddenly and froze. He didn’t know what he was thinking and didn’t read the script properly. Only when he saw that Yang Youan had started to act, he realized that there was no stage set up. There was only a chair and table in the room.

 

    Ji Haochuan would not admit that although he couldn’t say much about acting but if he was put together with Yang Youan. He felt that he was much better than that silly white boy.

 

    But the premise was that he knew that Yang Youan was a dance major at school. In terms of acting, the two had started from scratch. No matter how you saw it Yang Youan’s acting seemed that there was so much more to it. He not only did simply read the script. You could also feel what his character was.

 

    Even Liang Sili was a little surprised. He had watched Youan dance, but this was the first time he had seen him acting.

 

    This scene might be considered a "bitter love drama" for other characters, but it was just an ordinary day for Yang Youan.

 

    There was no previous confession. The child sat by the table and pulled up his pants. The creases were piled on the knee layer by layer, exposing his white calf and he left the other leg normally.

 

    Ji Haochuan had never read the script, but Yang Youan had taken a look at it.

 

    This was exactly the scene when he broke his leg and knocked his knee before. He could only sit straight and could not bend his knee when he got up and walked.

 

    Seeing this meaning, it was much easy to understand what was next.

 

    Yang Youan sat down by the table and made a gesture of twisting the cap of the bottle, while looking at its size which was not much smaller than a mineral water bottle. The index finger and thumb pinched together in the void as if holding something, he twisted it around and got to the knee, but as soon as he bent his arm, he touched it on the edge of the table, as if the surrounding space was a little tight. He could not withdraw from the chair and acted with the other hand to pull up his clothes in a strange way.

 

    There appeared to be nothing on his naked little arm now, but Yang Youan then raised his elbow and looked at the part that had just hit the corner of the table for a long time, and when his fingers touched it, his eyebrows were wrinkled together and he simply rubbed it a few times before continuing to bend over to deal with his knee.

 

    The thing was that Yang Youan pressed on the wound in the void might be a cotton swab, and the one that he just unscrewed on the table could be iodine.

 

    Ji Haochuan originally thought that Yang Youan just touched his arm on the table, there was no need to make such a series of movements to express the pain, until he saw Yang Youan straight himself up to change the swab. He wanted to lean down again when his body fiercely felt a stiffness, as if a muscle was pulled and the pain made him slowly stop all the movements.

 

    The three people who were looking at the script at the long table knew that it was time to look in the mirror next, but they didn't have props on site.

 

 

    All three wanted to see what Yang Youan planned to do next. After all, in the film and television works, the lens could include both positive and negative images through a mirror at a time, but now it seemed more like a stage play. Was it to show them his face, or show them his back there were be choices to be made.

 

    Yang Youan limped slightly when he got up from the chair. Instead of walking up next to the chair as mentioned in the script, he changed the orientation of the "mirror" and arbitrarily stood directly in front of their long table. Lifting his clothes to reveal his slender waist, then slowly turned back to look at them, there was no expression on the "look at the mirror" face.

 

    The silent eyes were gray, humble, low, and the cautious part seemed to appear in the real, but with the gloom and bitterness which was unspeakable.

 

    Liang Sili was stunned, and Ji Haochuan was also stunned.

 

    After the performance, there was no dialogue, no tears, and even the scene props were not present, so Yang Youan was naked and thrown into the eyes of several people.

 

    Ji Haochuan couldn't believe his eyes. How could Yang Youan show such eyes ...

 

    In the silence, Huan and Ding Runnian applauded at Zhong Yi, as they did not see this skill during the audition in the previous video.

 

    Yang Youan’s performance was actually not perfect, but there were parts of performance. The character was full of emotions, especially the part where he looked at them in the end. It showed that the child really understood this role and there was no experience for this age. For children, it's a great to be able to do that.

 

    The two men sighed at Zhong Yi that his eyes could discover someone with such talent.

 

    Zhong Yi was taken by surprise too. He initially felt that Yang Youan would be good at acting, but it was just because he found that the child was very unconfident and even a little flattering.

 

    Yang Youan himself did not expect that he would play so well. He laid down the clothes pinched in his hands and eased his back for a while before calming down his emotions.

 

    Ji Haochuan was also stunned at the performance just now: "Did you just look in the mirror ... Was your waist hurt? Was someone beaten? Felt as if the whole body was hurt ..."

 

    When Yang Youan turned around, his eyes were a little bit red, and he was about to point his head at the person when he saw the two lines of tears on Ji face somehow, and the tears came out of nowhere. He got scared a little when he saw people panic and said: "You, why are you crying ..."

 

    Ding Runnian and Hua An: "?"

 

    The crowd turned around and saw Haochuan, whose tears had reached his chin. He blinked and said: "Did I cry? When did I cry?"

 

    Liang Sili paused: "... you are crying."

 

    Ji Haochuan continued to cry but insisted that: "I didn't cry."

 

    Liang Sili: "........."

 

    He really couldn't figure out why he gave birth to such a cry baby...

 

    Zhong Yi was used to it, Ding Runnian and Hua An raised their eyebrows and Zhong Yi put on a look that said "Look, I told you."

 

    The two laughed at him joy and said that one of the big boys was still crying, and it was also a must to deceive themselves to such an extent.

 

    "I just feel that Yang Youan has no flesh on him, it's terrible to me ..." Ji Haochuan struggled seriously, while not forgetting to turn his head towards Liang Sili who was completely speechless around him, "Did you let him eat, how can he be so thin?" Don't abuse him every day ... "

 

    Liang Sili: "………………"

 

    Yang Youan burst into tears for a moment and spoke with a muffled tone after his emotions had eased: "No, President Liang was very good to me. He hasn’t abused me. I just have a bad appetite recently."

 

    Ji · assimilated by Leo · Haochuan: "Is he pregnant, Liang Sili, you are responsible ..."

 

    Liang Sili: "?"

 

    Liang Sili: "How about you wipe the tears on your face before talking nonsense?"

 

    Everyone laughed together, only Yang Youan still cared about the previous things: "Am I too thin? If I need to eat more to be photogenic, I will work hard."

 

    Hua An: "No, you can eat normally. Now you are thin, but it is just right for the character."

 

    Liang Sili's thin lips moved slightly. If it wasn't for Hua An's mouth to block his words back, he would have habitually let Yang Youan eat more and hug him comfortably.

 

With Yang Youan right in front of him, Ji Haochuan who was already not very happy about it, felt that he couldn't handle it anymore.

 

    Especially when he stood at the same place where Yang Youan had just stood and felt the pressure from everyone's attention. He especially wanted to play a trick to escape. He didn't want to be beaten by Yang Youan and felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person.

 

    Zhong Yi looked at Ji Haochuan, who was in the middle, teasingly said: "You just have to act like you're begging us, there's no difference, it's exactly the same." 

    This scene of Ji Haochuan was stealing a small cage bun from an early morning stall and being caught by the boss on the spot, while pretending to be pathetic and begging the boss to let him go.

 

    "How strange is that........" Ji Haochuan was desperate, "And how can I act like I'm being caught while stealing? There are still people who can beg, it's no longer nothing physical, it's not even real people...."

 

    The crowd laughed again, and Zhong Yi said to them, "If I didn't know you two hadn't had much contact with Ji Haochuan, I'd have thought you two were just like him, even with this foolproof mouth."

 

    As soon as the voice fell, Zhong Yi's mobile phone rang. With several people messing with Ji Haochuan, he got up and went out to answer the phone.

 

    After Ji Haochuan got his job done, his recent work had almost barely settled, and he could finally take a break.

 

    No surprise, Zhong Yi received the money he wanted to send them. He sent the person to Liang Sili. When he was about to go back, he saw Yang Youan coming out of the door.

 

    Zhong Yi: "What's wrong?"

 

    Yang Youan shook his head, the child's eyes were still blushing, he scratched the back of the head and asked: Did you find teacher Zhang afterwards, the school has been so noisy lately......."

 

    Zhong Yi stunned: "Still noisy?"

 

    Didn't Zhou Rui say that it was resolved?

 

    In the past few days, he was occupied and busy. Yang Youan didn't say this and he didn't think much of it. Zhang Xingzhi didn't pull him into the group as he said.

 

"It was originally resolved, but everyone didn't believe it... "Yang Youan said and told Zhong Yi exactly what the school did and how the students reacted. Also, at a loss for words, "My classmates said that Li Jiang almost fought with another class again last night after the class."

 

    "Who?" Zhong Yi suspected that he had misheard, "Li Jiang?"

 

He thought it was not Wang Siheng who started this kind of thing, but Fang Lu, there were a few other big heads in the class. No matter what, he did not expect it to be Li Jiang.

 

    But Yang Youan was focused: "There are still small videos which people recorded. If it wasn't for Wang Siheng and Fang Lu pulling Li Jiang back he would have fought with them."

 

    Several of them are so popular that they can eat well in the grade, and even if they do something wrong you can’t do anything about it.

 

    Zhong Yi thought carefully, he patted Yang Youan's shoulders to let him go back with a peace of mind and said: "It's okay, I'll solve it."

 

    After Yang Youan nodded and started walking back but when he reached the door, he couldn’t hold himself back and asked: “Does Mr. Zhong not feel angry when he hears others say such things?"

 

    Zhong Yi raised his eyebrows and deliberately teased him: "What's so angry to be about this, maybe it's true."

 

    Yang Youan froze and then quickly raised his head and said affirmingly: "No, you and Mr. Liang aren't the kind of relationship they said you are."

 

    "You are too trustworthy of me." Zhong Yi looked at the child in front of him and smiled: "Why do you think that Liang Si Li has never made a move on me? Is it really because he’s afraid of me?"

 

    Yang Youan was surprised again: "Isn't it ...?"

 

    He may be a little bit better at reading people's faces, but in the end, he was still a child and was vague about the things on the inside.

 

    Zhong Yi laughed: "If not thinking too much, I would say the Liang family’s interests are most important and if you want them to be good to you forever. Nothing is more important than making yourself stronger."

 

    "Become stronger, and then be irreplaceable. The Liang family will love you forever." Then, Zhong Yi answered the first question that Yang Youan was curious about "So what if thousands of people have a bad impression of me. Don't tell me to ruin my reputation, even if it's a thousand people cursing me, as long as none of them dare to step on me, that's enough."

 

        Especially when people's impression of him was still something he intended to do.

 

    It was a protective color, and a way of survival that he had found for himself.

 

    Yang Youan stood there and took a while to process and then his face turned red again, when he realized that his thoughts on Liang Sili had been exposed, and Zhong was teaching him now.

 

    Zhong Yi said, "I just took the Liang family as an example. I don't mean anything else. The words are not rough."

 

   The honest child Yang Youan was still red: "They’re not rough ..."

 

    Before entering the room, Zhong Yi was still telling Yang Youan: "When the time comes, Ji Haochuan will bring you more trouble and not only when in acting class alone. He has a strange personality. If he loses his temper at you, just snap back at him, don't be afraid of him."

 

    Today, letting Yang Youan perform this part before Ji Haochuan was to let him carefully understand the gap between him and others.

 

    But when he talked about Ji Haochuan, Yang Youan smiled and said sincerely: "No, he has a good personality and is envious."

 

    Except for not knowing his identity when they first met, he was not afraid later.

 

    Or maybe because he loved Liang Sili and he subconsciously could not hate Ji Haochuan.

 

    When the two returned, Ji Haochuan was sitting seriously beside Ding Runnian and listening about the scene.

 

    Zhong Yi dragged his chair and sat down and before he got the time to text Zhang Xingzhi, he received a text from him.

 

    -"Are you free tomorrow night"

 

   Zhong Yi's lips curved into a smile, what could he do with such a heartbeat.

 

    He had eased over the past two days and thought that tomorrow night would be a good time to relax.

 

- "As long as Teacher Zhang calls me, even if I don't have time."

 

    As soon as Liang Sili saw an iconic smile on his face, he understood. Liang Sili then stretched his neck and read the chat between the two of them thoroughly and said: "Aren't you going to eat with Zou Chao tomorrow night?"

 

    "You can't push Zou Chao out of the way."

 

    When he said this, Zhong Yi didn't lift his eyes and moved his finger and found Zou Chao's name from the list, Liang Sili was surprised enough.

 

    Zhong Yi had always pushed others for work, but he had never seen whom he pushed for.

 

    Liang Sili carefully discerned the smile of the spring breeze on his face for a few seconds and then remembered the conversation with Zhang Xingzhi and finally sighed in a complicated mood.

 

    Zhong Yi probably didn't know what was waiting for him tomorrow ...

 

    Whether "Aesthetics 2" will continue or not, it might be decided tomorrow night.

 

    The author has something to say:

 

    Youan sighed: Actually, Teacher Zhong is really gentle ...
