The Film Emperor's Secretly Married Wife Ch. 51

Prev | Directory | Next

Yu Jingxing asked Qi Zhen what she thought and just told Sister Sun to come pick her up.

Grandma wanted them to stay another night, but Qi Zhen was eager to go home. Nobody really knew why.

The old lady teased her, "A married baby wants her husband, not grandma anymore."

Qi Zhen kissed the old lady's face a few times, acting cute, "I love grandma the most! I'll come visit again in a couple days!"

Back at home, Qi Zhen clung to her husband and dragged him to the home theater, making Yu Jingxing dig out a DVD to watch.

It was an old movie from years ago called Missed Chances.

It told a pretty plain love story, basically about accepting loss and going opposite ways.

Yu Jingxing played Sun Jian, a guy secretly crushing on the female lead.

Because he was too handsome, the director gave him thick, heavy "beer bottle bottom" glasses, a middle-parted, stiff hairstyle, and painted several pimples and scars on his face.

In the simple, plain film scenes, he slouched a bit while writing. The female lead, Jiang Yun, walked in from the door. The shy teenage boy's ears turned red, and he looked down pretending to focus on writing. When he noticed, Jiang Yun was already walking away with a test paper marked with deep circles from a pen.

Compared to his real-life silver-haired, rebellious, cold look in high school, this character felt way more down-to-earth.

When some classmates gossiped about Jiang Yun, he stiffened his flushed neck and defended her. He even got into a fight at dusk, breaking half of his glasses frame. He wiped his tears secretly with his sleeve, stood up slowly, pushed his bike, and brushed past the main couple.

Though the scenes were brief, Qi Zhen still felt a little heartbroken.

She held Yu Jingxing's hand softly and said, "You're so pitiful. You're so handsome, and yet they all thought you were ugly."

Actually, thanks to makeup and acting skills, Sun Jian looked awkward and plain, a bit rigid and dull, often pushing up his glasses with his index finger.

No matter how good-looking, great acting always makes people overlook natural looks.

Yu Jingxing chuckled, realizing Qi Zhen truly felt sorry for him.

He whispered gently in her ear, "Baby, how are you going to comfort me?"

Qi Zhen glanced at him, shook her leg a little shyly, looked up, and handed him the glasses case.

He smiled faintly, calmly took out the glasses, and put them on his high, straight nose.

These glasses were different from the movie's, and the hairstyle too, making him look refined and elegant.

Qi Zhen tried to style his short hair into a middle part and whispered softly by his ear, "Can you still play Sun Jian?"

Yu Jingxing's gaze was indulgent and gentle, without a word.

Her eyes sparkled as she ran upstairs quickly, digging around seriously for a long time before finally finding a pleated skirt uniform.

Qi Zhen wore her hair in twin ponytails, dressed in a light blue pleated skirt and sailor top, her legs in white knee-high socks, slender and straight, perfectly youthful.

Her smooth, pale fingers touched her lips, her expression pure to the point of innocence.

Qi Zhen tugged at her skirt and shyly said to him, "Sun Jian, do you really think I'm not as pretty as Jiang Yun?"

Sun Jian was awkward, looking away without meeting her eyes, curling his hand that held the pen, "You're pretty too."

Qi Zhen pinched the skirt hem and sat on his lap, kissed him through his glasses, but he nervously dodged.

The glasses slid down a bit; he awkwardly pushed them back up with his index finger.

She held Sun Jian's hand and touched her own skin, whispering by his ear, "So who do you think is prettier, me or Jiang Yun?"

Sun Jian pulled his hand back like he'd been burned, his voice growing softer, "Classmate, show some respect. Jiang Yun wouldn't be like you, like you..."

Qi Zhen wore white knee-high socks and the pleated skirt, her twin ponytails pure and innocent, sitting with bent legs in his arms, looking almost criminally tempting.

The girl smelled soft and sweet, seeming like a gentle push would send her falling on the sofa, face full of innocence, ready to be toyed with.

Ordinary people would lose control, let alone a grown man with needs.

She looked into Sun Jian's eyes and said, "I've liked you for a long time, but you always looked at Jiang Yun, even fought for her."

Suddenly tears welled up, shining and fragile, "I'm this pretty, and I like you so much, shouldn't you like me?"

Sun Jian said, "Classmate, being pretty doesn't mean people will like you. Your ideas are extreme and wrong, you need to be more..."

Qi Zhen pouted, tears dropping, "So you don't like me?"

Sun Jian froze for a moment, then gently shook his head without speaking.

Qi Zhen set aside the eye drops bottle and blinked at him, "Sun Jian, then you have to prove it to me."

Sun Jian's hand started wandering on her, the hand usually holding a pen and studying hard, now sliding over the pleated skirt and knee-high socks of the uniform. "How do I prove it?"

Qi Zhen took off his glasses, hooked her arms around his neck, a little flushed and shy, "I'll teach you. You study too hard all the time, you should relax a bit."

The new semester was about to start, and Qi Zhen wouldn't be able to stay by his side for much longer.

It wasn't like she was being forced to live on campus or anything—it was just that Yu Jingxing's new film needed a lot of traveling for promotions, jumping from city to city, so he didn't have much time to be with her. In that case, staying at school seemed like the better option.
