Chapter 801: Chapter 783: It Hurts So Much, Honey! (Part 1)
After the "Eighteen Farewells" scene ended, the old man who sang the narration appeared on stage again, singing a segment in a high pitch...
Meanwhile, Huo Feng and three others retreated behind the curtain. He immediately supported himself against a fellow backstage crew member, covering his chest with his big hand, bending his back, and showing a pained expression, "Wow... this is killing me..."
"Are you okay, classmate Shanbo?" The backstage crew member quickly supported Huo Feng, looking at him with great concern.
"Huo Feng, are you okay?"
You Xinran, Liu Jia, and Wu Di also hurriedly rushed toward Huo Feng, extremely worried about him!
Especially You Xinran...
She had just used Huo Feng as a landing cushion. When she fell, she not only heard a particularly loud impact but also heard him gasp in pain...
Thanks to Huo Feng being her cushion, she wasn’t injured at all, and it didn’t hurt much.
However, You Xinran’s mind was completely dazed at that moment! She didn’t think about continuing the performance at all...
But Huo Feng quickly adapted to the situation, managing to cover up the scene in time.
At this moment, You Xinran still hadn’t fully recovered, her mind was still in chaos!
Her first reaction, however, was to tell her that Huo Feng must be injured! She was very worried!
"I’m done for..."
Huo Feng gritted his teeth, furrowed his brows, and even said bluntly when he turned back, "An occupational injury, remember to reimburse the medical expenses."
"Of course. Can you still perform next?" You Xinran asked worriedly.
"Yeah. Just as long as there aren’t any more action scenes."
Huo Feng waved his hand, "Don’t worry about me, prepare yourself."
You Xinran took a deep breath, slightly calming down, but suddenly became angry and turned to scold Liu Jia, "What’s the matter with you? Did you step on my dress?"
Liu Jia stepped back, shrinking slightly, "I... I don’t know either..."
You Xinran got even angrier at this, "Haven’t you rehearsed stage positions? Making such a low-level mistake! You..."
"Enough!"
She hadn’t finished scolding when Huo Feng beside her spoke, "Still have time to scold people? Don’t you need to change costumes for the next scene?"
You Xinran listened to Huo Feng and let Liu Jia go, hurriedly running backstage to change clothes and appearance.
Because the next scene required her to appear as a woman.
And the upcoming plot was officially entering its emotional climax...
The next scene takes place entirely within Zu Yingtai’s home.
Zu Yingtai’s parents had long agreed to the marriage with Ma Wencai’s family, thus disagreeing with Zu Yingtai’s engagement with Liang Shanbo.
Zu Yingtai argued for her case at home but was met with the entire family’s rebuttal, feeling hurt and pained!
This act did not include a role for Liang Shanbo.
Therefore, Pu Sangzhi, who was seated in the audience, was continuously concerned about Huo Feng, sending him many WeChat messages to check on him.
Meanwhile, backstage, Huo Feng received very simple temporary treatment and continued to memorize his lines for the remaining scenes.
Their phones weren’t with them; they were kept in their bags, locked in a shared cabinet. Hence, Huo Feng didn’t receive her messages and didn’t reply to her in time.
In the audience, it wasn’t just Pu Sangzhi – many other students were also worried about Liang Shanbo.
Pu Sangzhi could often hear nearby girls saying, "I wonder how Liang Shanbo is doing? Did he collapse backstage?"
"No idea. There should be more scenes later, right? Will someone else take over?"
"Ah... is that even possible?"
"Who knows..."
In short, the whispers around caused Pu Sangzhi to feel uneasy, she was really worried about Huo Feng!
Next to her, Minal was also mumbling, "I wonder how Brother Feng is doing, everyone’s worried..."
Wei Zixuan added, "We’re worried too."
"He hasn’t replied to my messages either. Maybe it’s really busy backstage..." Pu Sangzhi said.
Eventually...
After waiting for a long time, everyone finally got to see Liang Shanbo’s storyline again!
When Liang Shanbo reappeared, it was in the scene where Zu Yingtai announced her farewell...
Initially, seeing Liang Shanbo injured already made everyone feel uncomfortable, but not long after reappearing, Liang Shanbo performed a segment of sorrow...
When Zu Yingtai told him about her arranged marriage, Liang Shanbo’s entire demeanor instantly weakened... so pitiful that it made the entire female audience feel heartache!
Many people, driven again by Liang Shanbo’s acting, whispered things like "so pitiful," "I just want to hug him..."
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi also found herself slightly immersed in the drama...
Perhaps it was Huo Feng’s acting, or perhaps it was the emotional influence of the surrounding audience, in any case, Pu Sangzhi was in a half-immersed state...
How to describe such a situation...
She was genuinely heartbroken seeing Liang Shanbo being rejected due to social status.
But remembering that he was her boyfriend, she felt a bit jealous.
Even if it was just acting, it made her have some latent dislike for Zu Yingtai...
Pu Sangzhi soon realized her overwhelming jealousy, and that narrow-mindedness, she took a deep breath, patting her chest to calm herself down...
However...
The further the plot progresses, the more pitiful Liang Shanbo becomes!
Especially as Zhu Yingtai’s wedding approaches, Liang Shanbo’s final scene is lying on a sickbed, singing a sorrowful inner monologue with labored breaths, reciting lines like ’The deep doors of nobility are like the sea, but he does not regret loving...’
It’s truly heartbreaking!
The actor playing Sijiu also delivers an intense performance...
Especially in the final act, sitting by Liang Shanbo’s bedside, their features twisted in sorrow, "My Lord... My Lord..."
During that scene, the entire audience watched Huo Feng’s performance in complete silence, feeling immense discomfort yet fully engaged!
Until Liang Shanbo uttered his last line and fell, breathing his last!
At that moment, the background music accompanied with a ’boom——’ sound! Then a deep and heavy cello sound resounded!
"My Lord! My Lord! My Lord——"
Sijiu cried out with a strained voice, head resting on the bedside, sobbing resonating for a long time...
Instantly, a mournful and bleak atmosphere spread throughout the studio...
"Ah... he’s dead..."
"Wow, it makes me so sad to watch... I just want to hug him..."
"Handsome people shouldn’t die..."
"No, he shouldn’t have been Liang Shanbo..."
Some female classmates voiced their heartfelt regret...
"Oh dear... he’s dead..."
Minal, next to Pu Sangzhi, also sighed in deep sympathy while patting her chest, "So pitiful, if Zhu Yingtai doesn’t want him, I will..."
Minal was completely engrossed in the play, having forgotten that Liang Shanbo was Huo Feng...
"Wake up, his girlfriend is sitting right next to you!" Wei Zixuan reminded her.
"Oh, I was just saying... it’s so hard to watch..."
Minal retorted, "I really can’t stand handsome guys dying in front of me."
Pu Sangzhi watched this scene with a very complicated feeling, exhaling a long sigh, unsure of how to describe her emotions at that moment.
She didn’t know if she had come out of the play, she just knew she really wanted to see Huo Feng!
Not Liang Shanbo, but Huo Feng! The Huo Feng who belonged exclusively to her, Pu Sangzhi!
Not the pitiful Liang Shanbo abandoned by Zhu Yingtai!
At the end of the scene, the narrator elder came out again to sing, while the backstage staff rushed to clear the props, and the actors retreated with them...
After barely holding on to finish the second half, Huo Feng grabbed a backstage student after the scene and said, "I won’t appear for the curtain call, my chest hurts, I’m going to the infirmary..."
"Alright, you should go quickly!"
The backstage student immediately nodded, "Let me find someone to go with you!"
Huo Feng refused outright, "No need, I’ll have my girlfriend go with me."
"Oh, you worked hard today, you were great." The backstage student praised him to console him.
"Nonsense." Huo Feng responded without any courtesy.
After responding, he immediately clutched his faintly aching chest and went to the dressing room, quickly taking off his costume and changing into his own clothes.
His chest hurt so much that he could barely raise his arms!
Thus, Huo Feng just threw on some clothes, picked up his backpack, and took out his phone to call Pu Sangzhi...
Of course, he also saw many missed calls from Pu Sangzhi on the screen, along with a dozen messages from her.
At that moment, Huo Feng’s heart was quite satisfied.
"Huo Feng?"
The call connected quickly, and Pu Sangzhi’s anxious voice came through, "Are you okay? How’s your health? Is it convenient for me to come backstage to see you?"
"It hurts so much, my dear~"
Huo Feng immediately began to moan, "Come with me to see a doctor..."
On the other end of the phone, hearing his familiar tone, the jealousy in Pu Sangzhi’s heart subsided significantly, "Where can I find you?"
"Come out..."
Huo Feng said, "I’m waiting for you outside the studio... it really hurts~"
"Alright, I’ll be out right away. Wait for me..."
Pu Sangzhi quickly ended the call, not caring for the most exciting scene of Zhu Yingtai’s grave leap for love.
Of course, to Pu Sangzhi, this scene wasn’t exciting at all!
She hung up the phone and got up to leave, constantly saying, "Excuse me, thank you..."
"Where are you going, Sangzhi?" Minal asked her.
But she didn’t get an answer...
She had left.
