Chapter 132 Chapter 132 No regrets in making a move. The matter is settled. Make a move...
Seeing her excitement, He Shengnian didn't want to spoil her fun. "So how will she turn the tables?"
Xu Qinghu smiled and continued, "The girl worked hard to find a job as a maid and secretly learned the etiquette of the nobility, hoping to impress the prince the next time they meet."
"But she doesn't know that the noble lady who exposed her has also been attracted to the prince. However, due to too many competitors, she hasn't won his favor in a short time. She is also trying to increase her bargaining chips."
"The girl's reappearance before the prince once again caught his attention. Every time the girl showed herself before the prince, she would appear at the right moment, cleverly and tactfully driving away the prince's tactless suitors and showing off her noble and elegant character."
"The more a girl wants to win the prince's favor, the more the noble lady makes her look shabby. After a long time of comparison, the prince will naturally have other thoughts about her."
"After all, people are visual creatures. No matter how perfect the girl's disguise is, it can't change the difficult circumstances of her family and the taint of her character."
"Compared to the girl, the noble lady was more in line with the prince's mate selection criteria. Not long after, he became engaged to the noble lady, and the girl disappeared from his world."
"Until one day, the prince and the noble lady went hunting in the suburbs. They saw the girl by a swamp. She stood in front of the noble lady and loudly exposed her hypocritical mask, saying that she was just a down-and-out noble who had concealed her true situation and was not worthy of the prince at all."
"More importantly, Miss Noble has been relying on belittling her to achieve her own goals. Compared to her, Miss Noble is the real liar."
"Before she could finish her words, the noble lady's white horse suddenly went berserk for no apparent reason. Neighing, it actually knocked the girl forward, crushing her frail chest with its hooves. The girl vomited blood and died before she could finish her words."
When talking about the ending, Xu Qinghu turned around and looked at He Shengnian, "After what happened, do you think the prince will still be with the noble lady?"
He Shengnian frowned, but still said: "They are the same people."
Xu Qinghu laughed out loud. "You're right. The prince immediately dismounted and comforted the bewildered noble lady. He then dumped the girl's body into the deep swamp. The mud and insects quickly devoured the girl's body. Aside from the remaining blood on the ground, it was as if the girl had never appeared."
"Perhaps, even the remaining traces of blood will soon be erased by wind and rain."
"And when the prince and the noble lady returned to the city, they held a grand wedding. This is the ending of a fairy tale."
"The prince and his beloved live together forever."
After Xu Qinghu finished telling the story, his face was calm, and he asked He Shengnian: "Do you like this ending?"
He Shengnian shook his head. "Stories are just stories. They have nothing to do with reality. My preferences don't matter."
"So do you think the noble lady's horse was frightened, is it true or false?"
"If it were you, would you kill the girl?" He Shengnian asked instead of answering.
"I don't know," Xu Qinghu shook his head, "I'm just a storyteller."
He Shengnian raised his hand and touched her hair. "No matter whether the noble lady has selfish motives or not, it cannot change the final result."
The day the girl tried to get close to the prince, her death was doomed.
"You're right," Xu Qinghu lowered his eyes and smiled, then asked him, "But if the girl had deceived the prince with her perfect acting skills from the beginning, making him think she was of noble birth, would the prince still turn a blind eye to her?"
He Shengnian thought for a moment, "Maybe, but the chances are slim. After all, fake is fake, and the prince won't accept a liar."
Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and chuckled, "Even in a fairy tale world, it's impossible, right?"
He Shengnian said: "It's not that the prince can't accept girls, he minds deception."
"But wasn't what the noble lady did abominable?" Xu Qinghu asked him back, "But he took the initiative to help her destroy the body."
"Because the matter is settled," He Shengnian said, "Since the prince has already announced the engagement, there can be no further mishaps."
"No regrets on your move." He looked into Xu Qinghu's eyes. "Many things cannot be judged purely by good and evil. There is no absolute black and white in this world."
When a prince chooses a noble lady, he must have considered many factors. Compared with an insignificant girl, a noble lady naturally carries much more weight.
What's more, the girl is already dead, and the dead can never wake up to seek revenge.
Xu Qinghu's smile deepened when he heard this. "He Shengnian, I've discovered that you're a particularly cruel person. You only care about profit. I even doubt whether you have any feelings at all."
"Of course not," He Shengnian hugged her tightly. "You told me a story, so naturally I had to follow your thoughts and analyze the direction. But that doesn't mean I'm cold-blooded and heartless. Don't you know whether I like you or not?"
"That's why I feel torn," Xu Qinghu complained, "How could someone as rational as you like me?"
"Because you're worth it," he rested his chin on Xu Qinghu's forehead, "There's no need to impose this fabricated story on you and me. There's no connection at all."
Xu Qinghu leaned against his chest, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, and changed the subject: "My birthday is in two days. Have you prepared a gift for me?"
"Well," He Shengnian touched her face, and seeing that her temperature hadn't risen, his tone became much more relaxed. "Can you take a day off that day? I'll take you out on a date."
"There are still a few scenes to perform," Xu Qinghu said, "I'll have time later."
"Then I'll pick you up," He Shengnian lowered his eyes and kissed her forehead, "and take you out to eat."
"Okay." After saying that, Xu Qinghu nudged his shoulder and said, "I'm sleepy. Go back to your room."
He Shengnian stood up helplessly, "You won't pass the cold to me."
"That won't work either," Xu Qinghu glared at him, "I can't sleep with you next to me."
He Shengnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then you have to adapt to my presence as soon as possible."
Xu Qinghu covered her face with the quilt and ignored him. He Shengnian reached into the quilt and pinched her ear affectionately. "If you feel uncomfortable at night, remember to call me."
"knew."
He Shengnian opened the door and went to lie on his side. Xu Qinghu lifted the quilt and looked at the snow-white ceiling above his head with clear eyes.
Time passed quickly, and on Xu Qinghu's birthday, the crew's filming was nearing its end.
It tells the story of a blind girl named A Xiu who regains her sight and then takes a car to the beach.
“Action!”
After hearing the director's voice, Xu Qinghu dropped the crutches in his hand and sat on the hospital bed, allowing the doctor to remove the gauze for him.
"Don't open your eyes yet," the doctor warned. "Don't let the bright light hurt your eyes."
Xu Qinghu was already aware of this plot. She responded to the doctor's instructions in various ways, her face showing both anticipation and anxiety for regaining her sight.
Until a clear figure appeared in front of her, until she could see the scenery outside the window, what followed was not crying and shouting excitedly, but her eyes silently turned red and she tried hard not to let the tears fall.
"Thank you." Her voice was extremely hoarse. "Thank you."
The medical workers present were all happy for her and expressed their blessings, but A Xiu was looking at the sky outside the window, with too many emotions hidden in her eyes.
After filming this scene, Xu Qinghu returned to the camera to review it with the director, and finally filmed it several more times before finally getting a satisfactory effect.
"Hulu, you come here to study every day, do you really want to be a director?" someone joked.
"I'm just taking a look," Xu Qinghu replied with a smile, "If there's anything inappropriate, I'll discuss it with the director."
Although she said this, after she became an actor, she gradually understood how the director arranged, prepared and directed the filming.
The director is the core leader of a film or TV series. This job is quite challenging and she would certainly be interested in it.
After all, actors are just pieces of the puzzle in a movie, while the director controls the entire process of the work.
"Alright," the director stood up, "let's continue filming the beach scene."
When He Shengnian arrived at the set, he saw Xu Qinghu wearing a beautifully tailored gray quicksand skirt, walking lightly towards the church by the sea, step by step through the seats, coming to the tall transparent glass window, raising her hand and lightly touching the scenery outside the window, as if she could touch the actor's sea surface.
The sea breeze blowing in through the door blew her skirt, her hair was soft and beautiful, like floating seaweed, and her whole body exuded the breath of freedom.
Even though He Shengnian didn't understand her acting skills, he was still amazed by the way Xu Qinghu swayed her body.
He stood in the corner and watched her quietly until the director called "Cut". When Xu Qinghu slowly turned around and saw her familiar smile, the ethereal and distant feeling slowly faded away.
"How is it?" She did not notice He Shengnian, but trotted to the director, scrutinizing her performance almost harshly and pointing out the aspects that she was not satisfied with.
Seeing her so serious, He Shengnian felt proud and full of admiration for her.
After shooting it twice more, the director finally said it.
"Congratulations! Hulu has finished filming!" Voices rang out one after another on the set.
The assistant director brought flowers and cakes and asked everyone to celebrate. The director also handed over a red envelope and suggested holding a wrap-up party for her.
"No," Xu Qinghu shook his head, "I have an appointment later."
After she finished speaking, she saw He Shengnian walking out from the corner.
The two looked at each other, but there was a slight jeer from the surroundings.
Everyone knew that was her boyfriend.
Xu Qinghu's eyes curved slightly, and he held a simple farewell ceremony on the set. Then he walked out with He Shengnian holding flowers.
When I walked to the door, I saw it was snowing outside.
"Today is the winter solstice," He Shengnian said, "The snow fell very late this year, and it's the first snow."
Xu Qinghu raised his hand to catch a few snowflakes and corrected him, "It's heavy snow."
