Mark wiped his tears again, then turned his head shyly and smiled at Ben Shaming, who was sitting next to him: "You must be laughing at me in your heart."
Ben Shaming looked back at him coldly, "No, I'm focused on watching the play."
Mark laughed and turned his head back: "Yeah, how could I forget you're French. The most romantic country, so even opera, no matter how profound, you can understand it."
As Mark spoke, he edged closer to Ben Shaming: "But seeing your face this tense, don't take it too seriously. What's on stage is just a play, we paid the money just to laugh and cry. After watching, we should forget about it when we leave the performance hall, and do whatever we need to do. If you take it seriously and let it affect your mood, it would be a misuse of your energy."
Ben Shaming's pupils tightened slightly: "I don't see it that way. All theater comes from life. Although theatrical conflicts are more intense than real life, they are just highly concentrated realities."
