Chapter 12 - The first night at work
Junxi lay naked on the bed and tried to apply the ointment himself
"Ah! Why….why must it be me?!" Junxi cried bitterly.
An hour later, Leon went back home and saw junxi fell asleep. He received a call from Youming.
"Leon, how is junxi coping on the first day?" Youming asked.
"He is just like me when I was a new dancer and money boy." Leon replied.
"You are much stronger than him. You have a wife, kids, parents and a healthy body. He got nothing left. If his fiancée knows what he is doing now he left with nothing already. His parents both died already. Few years back he got leukaemia and recovered few years ago. I can imagine if he continue with these sufferings how long can he stand." You Ming said sadly.
"Huh!? That bad!" Leon replied shockingly.
That night, Leon look after junxi.
Junxi kept talking in his sleep….
"Please, please stop beating me. I…I am very painful." Junxi said and cried in his sleep.
At this moment, Leon saw a message on junxi mobile. He secretly scanned junxi's face on his mobile and read his mobile messages.
-Dear, why didn't you message me for so many days?! Where are you?! Our son is going to be born in five months time. You haven't gave him a name.- Meixue texted.
Leon saw junxi sweating non stop. He feel junxi's forehead and he saw lots of mucus coming out.
"I…I am very cold. I…I want ice." Junxi woke up and shaking.
"Ice?!" Leon asked.
Leon went out of the room to phone Youming.
"Youming, what kind of drugs did junxi take!?" Leon asked anxiously.
"That old man injected him with high dosage of ice. He is in high addiction of it." Youming replied.
"That old man is crazy! He is too much." Leon said angrily.
After Leon puts down the phone, he heard junxi throwing things. He quickly rush in to the room.
He saw junxi crazily throwing all the stuffs onto the floor and his hands are cut badly due to the shattered glass. He even cut his hands deeply to endure the pain from the drug.
"I… I want!!! I want ice or..or any drugs!!! Please! I beg you! I need it very badly! I..I cannot die! I still want to go back to Shanghai! Please give me! You want me to have sex with guys or dance infront of you, I can do anything as long as you give it to me!" Junxi shouted and cried badly.
Leon threw a pack of cannabis cigarettes to Junxi.
"Next time if you have withdrawal symptoms of ice, take this cannabis cigarette. Don't take more than three at a time. Stop taking ice, if you take it often you will die faster." Leon said.
"Do you want me to do anything for you?" Junxi asked.
"I am not gay. You can rest for the night. Try to get some sleep. Lao Wang have informed me to ask you start work tomorrow. You will start to sit down with customers first. A month of training then you go up the stage as dancer. Both ways you can also earn bucks, don't worry. Tomorrow you follow me closely." Leon replied.
The next morning.
Leon bought junxi to buy clothes, undies and shoes.
At Tsim Sha Tsui- Hugo boss boutique.
"Let him try these sets of clothes." Leon said.
"Yes, Leon ge." Jessie replied.
Leon went in to the fitting room with Junxi.
"Take off your clothes and wear these outfits." Leon said.
Junxi wear the set of suit.
"Perfect! You will be the hottest guy tonight." Leon said.
"Just..just suit, no need inner wear?" Junxi asked.
"Wear on the pants, we have to wear low hip pants and no inner wear is to attract customers. We even have our own personalise underwear with our name on it." Leon replied.
Junxi wore on the pants.
"This is perfect!" Leon said loudly.
Leon looks at his watch….
"Nice timing. Don't need to change anymore. Just wear this to the bar." Leon said.
At the cashier.
"Get me five sets of these suits, under my account." Leon said.
"Err, I…I will pay for it." Junxi replied softly.
"It's fine. You can slowly pay me back or take it as a gift from me." Leon said.
Junxi hears and he start to cry.
Leon pads his shoulders...
"Hey bro, don't worry. Everything will be fine." Leon said smiling.
Junxi wipes his tears and smile…..
"Thank…thank you." Junxi said.
The cashier stares at him.
"You rest awhile here. I go to the gents first." Leon said.
Junxi sat on the sofa.
His phone rang.
"Hello, Meixue. How are you?" Junxi asked softly.
"I am fine. Our baby already close to six months old. My parents wants me to go to Hong Kong to give birth, at least got someone to look after me. Junxi, what project are you doing? Why are you so busy that you have no time to come to Shanghai? Do you have any difficulty at work? Tell you a good news, I manage to get scholarship, it's the famous ouyang enterprise scholarship! I am already the third year in medical, one more year I am able to go for intern at ouyang hospital in Hong Kong, Shanghai or Japan!" Meixue replied happily.
Junxi at the other end kept crying. He kept thinking if he never come to Hong Kong he will also join the media industry in China or Hong Kong, and will not be suffering here alone.
"Junxi! Junxi! Are you alright?! I heard you crying at the other end." Meixue asked anxiously.
"I..I am just too happy for you." Junxi replied smiling.
"Oh yes I decided to name our son Guo junhui. What do you think?" Meixue asked.
"Great! The name sounds good." Junxi replied.
Junxi saw Leon coming in….
"Meixue, I need to be back to the filming location, I call you another time. Bye." Junxi said and hang up.
The cashiers saw junxi expression…..
"Aiyo, what filming location? He doesn't dare to tell his wife that he is doing male prostitute." A cashier said.
"He must have loan lots of money from Lao wang, poor thing. So handsome face yet been forced to do such things." B cashier replied.
Junxi overheard their conversation and feel very upset.
"Let's go back to the bar, it's already close to 5." Leon said.
On the way back in Leon's car, junxi google about ouyang enterprise and saw lots of rumours about ouyang junshan and his fiancée, meixue. He became very downcast and agitated.
In the pub.
"Come with me to the make up room." Leon said.
In the makeup room.
"I help you to draw your eyebrows and put on a light lipgloss." Leon said.
Junxi clinched to his fists and nearly cried.
"What are you looking at mobile? Is it something that made you upset? You have to leave that aside. You are starting work soon." Leon asked.
Half an hour later, Junxi follow Leon to the guest room.
In the room.
Joe and John were also around. Joe and John kept staring at Junxi.
"Hi, Mr Lin so long never get to see you. This is my new man under me. His name is Guo Junxi. You can call him Junxi ." Leon said.
"Leon, it's a long since I saw your dance. It's been five years. Junxi is a nice name. He is very lucky to get such a great master to train him." Lin replied.
"Junxi is very special. He does not have a Christian name and his Chinese name very catchy and looks so handsome!" Chen said smiling and looking at junxi.
Junxi poured a glass of whisky for Mr Chen and Mr Lin…..
"Thanks for the appraise. Here, let me give the both of you a toast." Junxi replied.
Junxi drank up 2 full glasses of whisky.
"Wow, this new guy can really drink and he is very handsome and great build. Leon, I want to take him out for a day." Chen said.
"For a day!? Mr Chen, my new guy is quite expensive to rent for a day and he is still new. What is the occasion?" Leon asked.
"Oh, it's for Chen's wife birthday on the boat. He is such a handsome and great built guy, he can be a food serving plate for the ladies to view." Chen replied.
"Oh! Why not I come along to see? I can help out on the serving as I am familiar on it." Leon asked.
"Oh sure! It is on next Saturday late morning. Joe and John can come along too. There is a gambling session too." Chen replied.
"Oh sure! We will come along to see the show!" Joe said loudly and smiled.
