Chapter 49: Act VII: Fan Letter (1)

—The memories of five years ago came to an abrupt end.

Tan Yiming sat in the audience and looked up at the lights on the stage.

Onstage, the boy sang loudly while performing dazzling dance steps. His voice was as penetrating as it was five years ago, it was unforgettable.

Incredible.

It seemed as if they were still chatting and laughing online just yesterday. But in the blink of an eye, when they met again, they've spent almost two thousand days and nights apart.

...

Accompanied by the energetic encore, Kinky Boots, which was completely rehearsed by the students, finally came to an end.

The ejectors on both sides of the stage sprayed gold glittering ribbons, and Xiang Cai, who was wrapped in a tight red sequin dress, flapped his exaggerated false eyelashes.

His gaze shifted faintly to the left rear of the auditorium, and he easily found the strange and familiar figure.

Xiang Cai had fantasized of the man's features countless times.

He should be tall, with soaring eyes, and with a warm smile in his brow. But when said man really appeared in front of himself, Xiang Cai found that all the adjectives that had appeared in his mind were not enough to describe the man's actual appearance.

In the auditorium, Tan Yiming was the first to get up and applaud. He was already handsome and upright, very conspicuous in the audience of less than a hundred people. When he stood up, the rest of the audience even stood up together one by one.

In the end, there was thunderous applause in the entire small theater, and they cheered loudly, sincerely giving praise to the young students on the stage.

Although their performance was immature, the enthusiasm contained in it could not be discounted.

When the curtain finally fell, Xiang Cai's legs, which were so tired that he almost collapsed, softened and almost caused him to fall to the ground.

The female lead standing next to him hurriedly supported him, and together with the two angels on the left and right, hugged him off the stage.

Before he sat in the dressing room, the logistics classmates waiting in the backstage corridor had already rushed up.

This one fed water, one fed chocolate, and someone else was responsible for removing his wig.

The hair net was completely wet with sweat, and the soft black hair clung to his scalp. Sweat rushed down, and mixed with the cosmetics on the face, looked particularly embarrassing.

Someone squatted down and took off his tight high-heeled boots. It took a lot of work to take off the shoes because his feet were swollen. When the boy's feet were finally freed from the boots, a strong bloody smell came to their faces, and a scared female classmate shouted, "Xiang Cai, you get no more amputations!!! ''

"..." Xiang Cai glanced at the crow's mouth quietly.

After that, a lot of time was wasted with debridement and medicine application. All the bloody blisters were sprayed with Yunnan Baiyao. With each spray, Xiang Cai's shoulders shrank, and his eyebrows twisted together, but there was no pain.

After all, in order to return to the stage and dance again, he experienced much more pain than he did now.

Stepping into the flip-flops with both feet, Xiang Cai sighed in comfort. He picked up the makeup remover beside him to wipe his face.

Because the stage lighting was very strong, the stage makeup was exaggerated many times more than daily makeup. And Xiang Cai played another sexy and enchanting drag queen. He had three pairs of false eyelashes alone, and half a tube of glitter on his eyelids. When removing makeup, he used rough methods. The female classmates next to him couldn't continue watching.
