Yun Qing was born with unparalleled beauty. She has always been adored by others, never the one to highlight them. Who knew that one day, someone would tell her she was merely a willful cannon fodd...
"Watch out!" Yun Qing hurriedly warned Shen Huai as she saw the person suddenly rushing out.
Fortunately, Shen Huai reacted quickly, moving his feet to the side to dodge. Although his body swayed slightly, he managed to regain his balance.
Shen Huai silently patted his chest: Thank goodness! It almost got messed up.
Lin Yue wasn't so lucky. She had used all her strength when she rushed over, and without Chen Huai's obstruction, she fell heavily to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.
"Ah! It hurts!" With a "thud," Lin Yue screamed in pain.
Although the beach was covered in sand, her palms still got chafed.
[System, what's wrong with this male lead? Isn't he supposed to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside? Why didn't he catch me?]
[How would this system know? I told you before, this old-fashioned way of faking an accident doesn't work anymore.]
Yun Qing and Shen Huai were both startled by this scene and stood frozen in place.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted vendor nearby reacted quickly, went over and helped Lin Yue up: "Miss, are you alright?"
Lin Yue waved her hand: "I'm fine."
Except for the palms of my hands, the rest of my body is fine.
Seeing that she was walking normally, Shen Huai also pulled Yun Qing forward.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Yue panicked when she saw the two of them abandoning her and about to leave.
"You made me fall, and you didn't even apologize before just leaving. That's not a good idea."
"Huh?" Yun Qing turned around, stunned by her words that turned the tables on her.
"You were the one who suddenly rushed over and lost your balance, which is why you fell. How dare you blame us? If we hadn't reacted quickly, you wouldn't be the only one who fell."
Shen Huai looked at Lin Yue with disapproval: "Miss, are you trying to scam us because we're easy to talk to?"
An older woman buying souvenirs nearby also stepped forward: "That's right, you're such a nice young lady, don't try to scam people like others. I saw it clearly just now, you suddenly ran out and fell."
As more and more people gathered around her, and most of them looked at her with disdain, Lin Yue broke down.
Since Yun Qing and Shen Huai have wronged her, she will not let them get away with it.
Lin Yue lowered her head, her face full of malice, and said aggrievedly, "I was too excited, so I couldn't stop myself. It's just that this gentleman looks too much like my idol, Shen Huai."
After Lin Yue said this, many people unconsciously turned their attention to Shen Huai.
Shen Huai subconsciously pulled down the brim of his hat and clenched his fists nervously.
Being recognized isn't a big deal, but the person who wants to harm him hasn't been identified yet. What if his whereabouts are exposed, and the mastermind notices Yun Qing? Then he would truly be guilty of a thousand deaths.
"Speaking of which, their body shapes are somewhat similar."
"His eyes are similar too. I was just saying that this young man looked familiar, and now that this girl has mentioned it, isn't he just like Shen Huai?"
The pedestrians were talking amongst themselves, and Shen Huai was sweating profusely as he listened.
Of course, there are also those who disagree.
"How could it be Shen Huai? Why would he come to such a small place?"
"That's right, I think he's a bit taller and thinner than Shen Huai. Shen Huai looked fatter at the event last week."
"Whether it's true or not, just take off your mask and we'll know." Lin Yue raised her head and looked at Yun Qing and Shen Huai with ill intent, as if she could already see his panicked appearance after being exposed.
Shen Huai stood there, at a loss.
On the contrary, Yun Qing directly reached out and took off her sunglasses.
A pair of eyes as clear as autumn water were revealed, their breathtaking beauty displayed before everyone.
Pedestrians on the roadside were captivated by its breathtaking beauty.
Those who were buying things stopped, and those who were chattering about the sinking of Huai also stopped.
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Yun Qing stepped forward and removed Shen Huai's hat and mask.
He addressed the stunned onlookers, saying, "Miss, my boyfriend does look a lot like Shen Huai, but he's not. He's actually Shen Huai's son from the fishing village."
Lin Yue: Do you think I believe you?
"But they look almost exactly the same, how could they not be?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing smiled slightly, which once again robbed everyone of their reason.
"How are they exactly the same? Don't talk nonsense. My boyfriend has looked like this for all these years. If he didn't look like a celebrity, I wouldn't have fallen for him. Look at his face, isn't he much thinner than Shen Huai, with a stronger bone structure? And look at his figure, he's also much taller and thinner than Shen Huai."
The passersby were so captivated by Yun Qing's beauty that they had long lost the ability to discern the truth.
"The beautiful lady is right, upon closer inspection, it doesn't look like it."
"Exactly! There are so many people in the world who look alike. I see a lot of people on Douyin who imitate celebrities, and they look even more like them than the real people!"
Hearing that some people already believed her, Yun Qing continued, "To be honest, I'm also a fan of Shen Huai. After watching his works for so many years, my aesthetic sense has been influenced, which is why I found a boyfriend of the same type. Shen Huai is already so old, do you think I could be interested in him given my qualifications?"
Shen Huai himself, standing nearby, thought: "I'm just lying here and getting shot. Does Yun Qing really think I'm that old?"
Upon hearing Yun Qing's narcissistic words, Lin Yue was incredulous. How could this fisherwoman be so shameless? Although she was indeed somewhat attractive, she shouldn't be so narcissistic.
However, everyone around her seemed to think that what she said made sense, as if they didn't see anything wrong with it.
"That's right, I know this girl. She's the youngest daughter of the Yun family. She's been beautiful since she was little, even prettier than a celebrity."
"Indeed, if she really liked Shen Huai, she could definitely win him over. Why would she need to hide it?"
"If you ask me, even Shen Huai Zhenren might not be as handsome as that girl's boyfriend. That young man, apart from being a bit dark-skinned and thin, is really perfect in appearance."
"You're all right, but I still think that girl got the short end of the stick."
...
After Yun Qing and Shen Huai left, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Lin Yue stood there, feeling that the world had gone mad. Yun Qing was lying through her teeth, and these people actually believed her.
She stomped her foot angrily. These uneducated villagers! They'll definitely be tricked into buying health supplements when they're old.
On the other side, the setting sun cast long shadows of Yun Qing and Shen Huai.
Yun Qing deliberately lagged behind, playing by stepping on Shen Huai's shadow.
After playing for a while, seeing that Shen Huai didn't react, she belatedly realized that Shen Huai seemed a little unhappy.
"Hey, why are you so gloomy? Did you hear what those people said and regain your memories, and now you want to go back?"
"Huh?" Shen Huai was stunned, still reeling from Yun Qing's earlier comment that he looked old.
"Tell me, do you want to go back to being Shen Huai?"
"No!" After hearing Yun Qing's question, Shen Huai pressed down on her shoulder, his eyes filled with unprecedented seriousness: "As long as you are willing, I can be Monday for the rest of my life."
