Sheng Xing Ze had no idea what happened on Weibo. He finally got to call Yu Bai before the plane took off, "I got on the plane, remember to miss me."
"Be careful and call me when you get off the plane."
"Film Emperor Yu, you also pay attention to your health and remember to rest." Sheng Xing Ze said with a smile.
Yu Bai glanced at Yuan Yuan who was afraid to look at him directly, "Did you say something to Yuan Yuan?"
Sheng Xing Ze laughed out loud at his cell phone, "Not only did I tell him, I also told your director."
Yu Bai held the phone to look at Sheng Xing Ze, "Huh?", and glanced blankly at Yuan Yuan, who put up a peace smile.
"I told the director, if you continue to force the whole crew to work overtime with you, he can call me and I will take care of you."
"What do you plan on taking care of me?"
Sheng Xing Ze just laughed, not talking.
Yu Bai rubbed his sore temples, "I didn't work overtime."
"I would not be fooled that easily, I haven't seen you for a few days and you have lost a lot of weight. When we meet next time, if you continue to lose weight like this, I would not want you. I don't feel comfortable when holding you." Sheng Xing Ze threatened, although there was an exaggeration in his threat. The exhaustion in Yu Bai's eyes made him feel the need to say it.
"You only need me to like you." Yu Bai smiled. This smile happened to be captured by the camera on the set, which caused a great disturbance afterwards.
But that was an event at a later time. Sheng Xing Ze heard the plane boarding broadcast and had to say goodbye to Yu Bai.
"Today, I also like Film Emperor Yu." He lowered his voice and whispered into the microphone, "I will call you when I get off the plane."
He hung up without waiting for Yu Bai to answer. Although there were people next to him who knew his relationship with Yu Bai, Sheng Xing Ze was a little bit shy to confess in front of so many people.
He cleared his throat pretending to be nonchalant, took out the complete script of "Twins" from Mi He Qui's bag in Tao Yi Ning's teasing gaze, and began to recite the lines to himself.
In the second half of the script, the story starts to escalate to a climax.
After Xue Qing and Chu Tian Yi exchanged their feelings, the rebels attacked the palace and overthrew the king.
As the prince, Chu Tian Yi escaped to the Nan Feng Pavilion that night. Facing the rebels' continuous pursuit and killing, Chu Tian Yi knew that hiding in the Nan Feng Pavilion was not a long-term solution, and he even dragged Xue Qing into this. In desperation, Chu Tian Yi had to leave the capital.
When Chu Tian Yi was about to leave, he wanted to bring Xue Qing with him. However, because of his fame, Xue Qing was being targeted by the rebel leader. The man threatened that if Xue Qing didn't come to see him, he would bloodbath the Nan Feng Pavilion.
It was impossible for Xue Qing to let the Nan Feng Pavilion suffer such a disaster because of him, this place had been kind to him and his brother. The two had their first night together on that last night before Chu Tian Yi left.
The next day, as soon as Chu Tian Yi left, he vowed to Xue Qing that when he regained the throne, he would name Xue Qing his queen. Xue Qing agreed with a smile. Xue Qing watched Chu Tian Yi leave the capital; he was in a red dress like a burning flame and wore a smile like a flower. This scene becomes a remarkable moment that helps Chu Tian Yi survive the difficult time afterwards.
Yue Bai had been reading poetry since young, and Xue Qing could not protect him in the imperial city ruled by the rebels. He ordered Yue Bai to leave with Chu Tian Yi and to assist Chu Tian Yi in his comeback, while he stayed in the capital and retrieved information from the rebels. He would send messages to Chu Tian Yo through their telepathy.
With the help of the two brothers, during the spring of the following year, Chu Tian Yi led an army to retake half of the country. The rebels could not find the source of the information leakage, and gradually suspected that the leak was coming from Xue Qing.
Before Chu Tian Yi was about to launch the final general offensive against the imperial city, the rebel leader deliberately revealed a misinformation to Xue Qing. After Xue Qing revealed the information, the rebel leader did not understand how he did it, but he still killed Xue Qing without hesitation.
Xue Qing's misinformation caused a big loss in Chu Tian Yi's plan, but he finally won the battle. The first thing he did after he cut down the head of the rebel leader was to rush to Nan Feng Pavilion to find Xue Qing, but only a lifeless body lying in a pool of blood was there.
Chu Tian Yi tremblingly hugs Xue Qing, the person in his arms is still wearing red clothes, with a smile on his lips, but he can no longer open his eyes.
Yue Bai, who rushed to Nan Feng Pavilion after Chu Tian Yi, looked at his brother's body in tears. He knew of Xue Qing's death earlier than Chu Tian Yi.
Facing the rebel leader's sharp knife, Xue Qing's only fear was that his own affairs would affect Chu Tian Yi's emotions, so he told Yue Bai to never reveal his death to Chu Tian Yi, even if his brother had to lie that he is still alive. Only until they win the battle that Yue Bai is allowed to tell the truth.
Yue Bai told Chu Tian Yi that before Xue Qing died, he said this to him, "We can't be together in this lifetime, then in the next life, you and I will be married again."
Chu Tian Yi brought Xue Qing back to the palace with great grief. The first thing he did after he took the throne was to disregard the advice of the court officials and insist on establishing Xue Qing as the queen and let him enter the imperial mausoleum. From then on, the harem would never have a queen.
Yue Bai refused the opportunity to become the prime minister. He told Chu Tian Yi that he was studying to become an official, so that he could give his brother a good life. Now that his brother is gone, his long-time dream can no longer become true. It is better to just wander around the world, going to places that see great landscapes that his brother did not have a chance to see before.
Chu Tian Yi did not stop him, and gave him the mansion and property.
Every year when the flowers bloom in spring, there are always two people in the palace watching the cold Kunning Palace, while drinking with each other all night.
Sheng Xing Ze closed the script, feeling a little uncomfortable again in his heart.
Although it was not the first time he saw it, he still lamented the hardship of this pair of lovers.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while before he heard the announcement that the plan was about to land.
Worried that the plane would be delayed, Sheng Xing Ze specifically booked the earliest flight. He arrived some time before noon, and as soon as he got off the plane, he called Yu Bai and his parents to let them know he had landed.
After getting to know everyone at the filming crew, Sheng Xing Ze went to the hotel where Shu Qing Ning crew stayed next door.
"Qing Ning, I want to visit you." The receptionist downstairs in the hotel smiled brightly, but did not tell Sheng Xing Ze about Shu Qing Ning's room. In desperation, Sheng Xing Ze could only call Shu Qing Ning.
Shu Qing Ning took Sheng Xing Ze to the room, poured him a glass of water and put it on the coffee table. Without saying a word, he saw through Sheng Xing Ze's purpose of coming to see him today, "Chu SHu Nan asked you to come see me?"
Sheng Xing Ze did not answer, and sat on the sofa upright, looking straight at Shu Qing Ning with his eyes, "I thought you had something to tell me at the amusement park that day."
Shu Qing Ning looked back at him without changing his face and said, "you are wrong."
Although he did not show the attitude of seeing off the guests, Shu Qing Ning's face wrote that I don't want to cooperate.
Sheng Xing Ze knew that he could not ask anything when he looked at the other's expression. He did not hesitate to use his abilities and asked again, "do you like Chu Shu Nan?"
The expression on Shu Qing Ning's face was broken. He lowered his head and hesitated for a while and did not immediately say it. Even if he was affected by Sheng Xing Ze's ability, Shu Qing Ning was still calm and self-collected.
"Qing Ning, if you don't tell me something, I can't know." Sheng Xing Ze encouraged, "you are torturing yourself."
"I don't know how to say it," Shu Qing Ning whispered while sitting next to Sheng Xing Ze. From his tone, so-and-so heard not only helplessness, but also the sign of giving in.
"You can tell me what you think of." Sheng Xing Ze followed the temptation.
Shu Qing Ning opened his mouth.
"You speak, I listen." Sheng Xing Ze looked at him and encouraged, "I won't say anything."
Shu Qing Ning let out a sigh, stood up and took out a few bottles of wine from the wine cabinet and put them on the coffee table, took out two cups and filled them up, "Can you drink with me?"
Before Sheng Xing Ze could answer, he held up the cup and chugged it down in one gulp. Because he did not drink often, Shu Qing Ning choked on the alcohol as he coughed it out. His cold face was flushed, and he smiled at Sheng Xing Ze mockingly.
"Chu Shu Nan must have told you about us."
Sheng Xing Ze nodded.
"Did he say when we will get divorced?" Shu Qing Ning tilted his head and looked at Sheng Xing Ze, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
Sheng Xing Ze did not answer him, Shu Qing Ning continued to pour the wine in his glass.
"President Chu can easily have a lot of little celebrities like myself. I'm getting older, while there are much younger and much beautiful others than me. Someday he will bring someone home and tell me: Shu Qing Ning, it's over between us."
His hand holding the wine glass dangled weakly to his side, and when it has loosened, the wine glass rolled onto the carpet, creating a wet trail on the carpet.
"I'm pathetic, aren't I? Even if I know the future outcome, I still want to stay by Shu Nan's side."
"Do you still like him?" Sheng Xing Ze looked at Shu Qing Ning, who was drunk and delirious in front of him. Even without his ability, Shu Qing Ning would obediently tell him anything.
"Xing Ze, do you think that some people are really heartless?" Shu Qing Ning asked, "Ten years, I thought that a cold heart woud be melted." He tugged up the corner of his mouth and made a small smile.
"As a result, he is really heartless."
"Do you know how I felt when I saw him hit someone the other day? If that someone was just a random person standing next to me, I would mistakenly believe that he was being jealous of me."
"But that person is my best cousin. I took him to visit my family many times. He didn't even remember the faces of my family members. How could I lie to myself anymore?"
"Yes, we have nothing to do with each other in the first place. This kind of marriage is linked by a contract. We can leave at anytime we want."
"Stop drinking," Sheng Xing Ze noticed the other's voice was not the same and hurriedly stopped the man's hand reaching out to the bottle.
"Chu Shu Nan is a scumbag."
"Well, he is a scumbag." Sheng Xing Ze said along. Shu Qing Ning seemed to be very quiet when he is sober; who would have known that once he gets drunk, he is such a talker.
"But I just like him..." Sheng Xing Ze heard him say this before Shu Qing Ning fell.
Sheng Xing Ze helped him up from the floor and settled him down on the sofa, and found a quilt to cover him. He thought about it and dialed Chu Shu Nan's number.
