âDid you buy a ticket for âStarry Sky Journeyâ? That ticket is so difficult to buy. Iâm convinced.â
âThat ticket is hard to get. Itâs rare to have a large sci-fi movie. The cinema is full.â
The passers-by were discussing Director Charonâs new work, âStarry Sky Journeyâ. Xia Wanyuan did not feel anything when she heard that. Other peopleâs movies had nothing to do with her.
However, although she did not care, the netizens were worried.
After all, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuanâs images actually coincided. At that time, Director Charon was choosing a supporting role, and Xia Wanyuan had once auditioned but was rejected. Now that âStarry Sky Journeyâ was selling well, many people began to mention Xia Wanyuan openly and secretly.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. The global box office of âStarry Sky Journeyâ exceeded one billion on the first day it was released. This result is heaven-defying. Even if Su Yueran is only a supporting role in it, itâs still considered her movie achievement. I feel that Su Yueran is about to ascend.]
[ I wonder where the Xia Wanyuan who said that she doesnât care about Director Charonâs movie is at this moment?? Hahaha, isnât she embarrassed? Sheâs forcefully salvaging her dignity. In terms of movies, Su Yueranâs results are still better. ]
[Didnât Xia Wanyuan build her own studio? I heard that it was specially made for her movie âEldest Princessâ. Chinese movies, especially ancient movies, are really stretched. I advise her not to embarrass herself.]
As âStarry Sky Journeyâ became popular, more and more people mentioned Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan.
Due to Xia Wanyuanâs interview on Americaâs official television station and her extremely popular video every week, Xia Wanyuan was now very famous overseas.
Now that the movie âStarry Sky Journeyâ had appeared, the mockery on the Internet was even more one-sided. A large number of haters took the opportunity to mock Xia Wanyuan for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth and trying to challenge an internationally famous director.
What followed was mockery of Chinese movies overseas. After all, in reality, no movie in China really led to the world.
The Chinese netizens were scolded badly, but they could not retort. They could only climb back behind the wall angrily and not argue with the fool.
In the hospital, passers-by discussed the movie and mentioned Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan from time to time.
When Xia Yu heard this, he frowned and was about to argue with someone else, but Xia Wanyuan pulled him back. âThereâs nothing to argue about. The truth is more important than anything.â
Xia Yu was indignant. âTheyâre talking nonsense. Sister, your movie is clearly better. I wonât watch that âStarry Sky Journeyâ even if you beat me to death.â
Xia Wanyuan looked at Xia Yu in amusement. âWhy canât you watch it? Iâm prepared to watch it too.â
In her previous life, as the Queen Regent, Xia Wanyuan had a strong nationalastic heart. She had deep feelings for the country she had ruled.
However, this did not mean that she was narrow-minded and could not see the merits of others.
To a monarch, narrow-mindedness and arrogance could destroy a country.
Xia Yu was still a little unhappy. âThen go and take a look. Iâm not watching anyway.â
Xia Wanyuan smiled. âAlright, if youâre not watching, letâs go in and take a look at An Rao. Then, I have to go to work.â
âOkay.â
Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan into the ward. At that moment, An Rao was already awake and looking at her son with a frown. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, An Raoâs eyes lit up. âYuan Yuan! Come quickly. Did you carry the wrong child? How can my son be so ugly!!â
The wrinkled, dark, and thin girl in front of her was very different from the little angel she had imagined.
âHeâll look better when you raise him,â Xia Wanyuan repeated helplessly for the third time.
âAiya, I didnât have a daughter. Is Xiao Bao crying miserably? His wife is gone.â An Rao gently pinched her sonâs small hand. Immediately, a strange feeling connected to her heart.
An Rao blinked and felt that it was amazing.?I had really given birth to such a small creature that could cry and laugh!
âYes, work harder.â Thinking of Xiao Baoâs crying face, Xia Wanyuan found it a little funny. âRest first. Iâll go back and visit you tonight.â
âItâs nothing.â An Rao waved at Xia Wanyuan. âYouâre so busy. You donât have to look after me every day. Bo Xiao will take care of me here.â
Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan out of the hospital. After saying goodbye to Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu walked alone on the street.
After staying in the desert for too long, Xia Yu was not used to the noise in the city.
The sounds of cars, people, and vendors hurriedly brushed past his ear. Xia Yu still felt that it was a little unreal.
âXia Yu, why are you here?â A smiling voice suddenly came from behind.
Xia Yu turned around and his eyes lit up.
It was Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was already beautiful and young. When she was in the desert, she always wore a shirt and pants. Now that she was back in Beijing, she wore a chiffon dress and her hair was draped behind her head.
Her smile was bright like the begonia in spring, blooming against the warm wind.
âIâm walking around.â Xia Yu nodded at Lin Yi. âWhat are you doing here?â
âMy unit is over there. Iâm here to update my identification today.â Lin Yi pointed not far away. âSince we met, do you remember telling me that youâll treat me to a meal when we return to Beijing?â
Xia Yu smiled. âNo problem. Order whatever you want.â
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony.â Lin Yiâs dimples appeared. She naturally pulled Xia Yuâs arm and walked towards the street. âI calculated that a few years ago, there was a shop here that cut mutton. The taste was really authentic. I wonder if it still exists. Letâs go take a look.â
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the alley.
No one noticed that a black car was parked at the corner of the street not far away. The light was green, but the car did not move forward. No matter how the horns behind it sounded, the black car did not move.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xia Wanyuan returned to Qing University. Just as she entered the classroom, she realized that Yu Qian was sitting in the last row.
He was still sitting in the same position as before with a book spread out in front of him with a peaceful expression.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at him and retracted her gaze, then began to explain todayâs lesson.
Yu Qian seemed to be listening very seriously. From time to time, he would stop and write a few words.
After the class, Xia Wanyuan stopped to wipe the blackboard. When she turned around, Yu Qian was no longer in the last row.
Xia Wanyuan felt very uncomfortable. She packed her things and walked out, but she met the reporters who had been waiting at the door.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan, everyone rushed forward. âXia Wanyuan, what do you think of the popularity of âStarry Sky Journeyâ? Howâs your preparation for your movie? Are you confident?â
Xia Wanyuan nodded. âIâm confident.â
Then, the headline that the reporter turned to publish on the news was âXia Wanyuan is confident that her new movie will surpass âStarry Sky Journeyâ.â
