Chapter 45 New Year's Eve
Xu Shi'an and Fang Xin stayed in the cinema together and did not play games because Xu Shi'an did not want to.
He sat contentedly on the only chair in the cinema, while Fang Xin went outside and brought in a small chair.
The two of them sat on different chairs in an extremely unequal manner and stared at each other for a while. Fang Xin's resentful eyes had already swept Xu Shi'an from head to toe.
Xu Shi'an was in a good mood and didn't say anything to him. He just chose a movie and started watching.
The movie begins with a little girl and her mentally retarded father. Although the father has a low IQ, he loves his daughter very much. When everyone around him is discussing contacting the little girl's mother to take the little girl away, the little girl refuses to do so.
Fang Xin was attracted by the plot and stared at the screen with sharp eyes.
Xu Shi'an observed Fang Xin out of the corner of his eye. At this moment, the corner of his mouth, which Fang Xin could not see, slowly rose.
Because the ending was so sad, Fang Xin tried to hold back her tears but failed. Tears welled up in her eyes and seemed ready to fall at any moment. The moment she saw the mentally retarded father finally turn around and call his daughter, tears fell from her eyes like pearls.
Although Xu Shi'an was somewhat moved, he did not look sad. He turned around inadvertently and saw that Fang Xin's face, illuminated by the shadow, was covered with tear marks. This made him more nervous than the last time he saw him crying.
He pressed the pause button on the chair, but Fang Xin continued to stare at the screen motionlessly, as if he didn't realize that the movie had been paused.
Knowing only that the sadness in his heart could not be concealed, Xu Shi'an cleared his throat to ease the silent space.
Fang Xin's tears were still like a broken dam. He put himself in the pain of parting with the one he truly loved at that moment. Because he is an actor, he can better understand the helplessness of everyone.
"Are you okay?"
Xu Shi'an's voice pulled him out of despair, and when he moved his lips, he bumped into the other person's eyes, which were black and white like water. A pair of peach blossom eyes with their own charm reflected a sparse light.
Fang Xin groaned, "Not good, not good at all."
Xu Shi'an's breathing was short and he paused for a moment, his eyes were drawn to her tightly, "Then what should we do?"
The unconscious reply sounded like the answer given by a robot due to its program. He didn't know why he said such disgusting words. He only saw Fang Xin slowly reach out and put his hand on the armrest of the chair and press it.
"After you finish reading, please don't pause it casually."
After pressing the button, he turned back to continue watching. Perhaps Shi'an felt that these few seconds were unusually long, so he slowly turned his head to watch the movie.
The ending of the movie is not good. The little girl's father was suspected of committing a crime and was sent to prison. The little girl knew that no matter how stupid her father was, he would never do anything to harm others. At this time, her father taught her the lessons every day.
But because the prosecutor did not find out the truth, he wanted to wrongly kill her father. She ran to the prison and shouted, "My father didn't do it! Why did you kill an innocent person! Why don't you find out the truth! Give my father back to me!"
Eventually, the girl's father was executed, which was the highest sentence. An unsolved case that could not be reversed was pinned on a fool.
Fang Xin was silent for a long time after reading it. His eyes were red and the grief that could not be shaken off swept over him like a tsunami. He stood up stiffly and slowly.
He is not a god and cannot save people from suffering, but there are many such things in the world. Now he has traveled into the body of a cannon fodder just to turn the tide for him.
Xu Shi'an handed him a tissue and said, "Go out slowly."
Fang Xin reached out to take it and accidentally touched the other person's fingertips. Xu Shiyan felt a slight heat where he was touched, and he rubbed his hand subconsciously.
Lu Ziyan and Mo Chai were having a great time. In contrast to the other two, Fang Xin's red eyes and nose from crying had a breathtaking beauty. When Mo Chai saw Fang Xin like this, he immediately dropped the game console in his hand and came over.
"What's going on?"
Fang Xin felt warmed by his friend's concern. Just when he was about to get closer to Mo Chai, he was pulled back. When Xu Shi'an noticed that he wanted to get closer to Mo Chai, his alarm bells went off and he pulled Fang Xin without even realizing it.
Fang Xin felt dizzy for a moment, and then he heard Xu Shi'an speak not far from him, "He cried while watching the movie."
Lu Ziyan couldn't help laughing out loud, breaking the originally unharmonious atmosphere. "It's still the same as before. I thought he changed into a different person after he became famous."
Fang Xin pretended to be stern and looked at Lu Ziyan who was sitting on the carpet. He seemed very comfortable.
Mo Chai looked at Xu Shi'an thoughtfully.
After playing at Fang Xin's house for most of the day, the group finally had to leave. Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, everyone chose to go home. However, since Mo Chai had no relatives in W City, he decided to stay in A City for the New Year.
Fang Xin, who brought him here, took the responsibility and invited him to have a New Year's Eve dinner.
As the two people left, Fang Xin's house became quiet. Xu Shi'an's house was across the street and he could leave at any time, but he waited until the end.
Fang Xin, who was standing at the entrance, turned around and glanced at Xu Shi'an, "Mr. Xu, do you have anything else to do?"
It was unclear what the emotion was in Xu Shi'an's eyes. He slowly approached the entrance and came into face contact with Fang Xin.
"You called me brother last time, why didn't you call me brother today?"
A blush appeared on Fang Xin's face, and he nodded softly. Xu Shi'an saw all his reactions. He raised his eyebrows happily, walked around Fang Xin and left the entrance.
Fang Xin quickly closed the door and leaned against it without saying a word.
Time flies, and on New Year's Eve, everyone puts down their work and stays at home to celebrate the New Year.
Fang Xin likes to chat with An Mei at Xu's house, and it becomes even more lively after Mo Chai comes.
The more An Mei looked at Fang Xin, the more she liked him, because in previous years she had only Xu Shi'an and Xu Shijie by her side, and the two of them didn't like to talk much, especially Xu Shi'an, who couldn't say anything nice when he opened his mouth.
The Spring Festival Gala was supposed to be broadcast on New Year's Eve, but the last two episodes of "Thousands of Years" were made an exception and will be broadcast tonight.
An Mei was just worrying about what activities to do after the New Year's Eve dinner, and it was just time to watch the ending.
Thinking of the plots aired during this period, An Mei's eyes when looking at Fang Xin became even more impure. The scene a few days ago where Su Zhongxian and Ouyang Ye opened their hearts to each other made people's blood boil.
As a result, she dreamed that Fang Xin and Lu Ziyan were a couple that night. She looked at Xu Shi'an sitting on the sofa, and her excited expression suddenly turned cold.
Having a son with no future is really a headache. He is 27 years old and still has no girl or boy he likes. She is really afraid that he will be alone for the rest of his life. Now she has no hope that her child and Fang Xin can have a relationship. The two of them have been together for so long, but neither of them has shown any sign of love.
The evening theater attracted the attention of everyone who stayed up at home. The final episode of "Thousands of Years" will end tonight. People who don't like watching the Spring Festival Gala stayed in front of the TV and the Internet.
The protagonist Ouyang Feng in the plot finally expanded his power to the maximum. He discussed and decided all matters with the heroine. The day before he wanted to rebel, he received news that Ouyang Ye had rebelled.
This gave Ouyang Feng the opportunity to quell the rebellion. He led a large army, nominally to rescue but actually to take power, and charged all the way into the imperial city, determined to capture the rebels.
Corpses were scattered all over the ground in the heavy snow, and blood stained every brick of the imperial city. Ouyang Ye was devastated as he held the little eunuch in his arms, his eyes unfocused as he looked at his brother who had fallen down in front of him.
"I have lost everything in my life..."
He stabbed a dagger into his heart, then he lay quietly with Su Zhongxian, holding his still warm hand and slowly closed his eyes. He did not die with his eyes open, but was content to be with him.
The last two episodes made the audience feel both happy and sad. The happiness was that the tyrant finally died, and the protagonist also completed all his plans and became the master of the world.
The only ones who were unwilling to resign themselves to the fact were Prince Duan and the young eunuch. Their lifelong planning had not succeeded, and the person they loved did not live out the rest of his life in peace, but died in the cannibalistic imperial city.
There was no explicit expression of love between the two of them, but their eyes spoke of endless love, and in the end the marriage ended.
The official Weibo account sent a message to celebrate the finale, and it immediately became the number one trending search.
"Give me back Su Zhongxian! How could you write him to death?"
"Su Zhongxian spent his entire life paving the way for the prince. This shouldn't be the ending for him."
"You are heartless. You know that Prince Su Zhongxian cannot survive without him, yet you still want him to die."
"I used up a whole pack of tissues because it was so sad."
"It's okay even if we never meet in this life, at least we know that the other person is alive and well."
"I think it's a good thing. It's a happy ending if they both go together. They can be reborn together even if they die together."
"Fang Xin's final performance was not like those people who kept talking nonsense after being stabbed. It was very comfortable to watch."
"Their eyes told of their endless love, but they didn't let each other know."
As more and more comments appeared online, Fang Xin herself recalled how she felt on the day of the finale after watching the finale.
After the show finished airing, everyone felt a sense of emptiness inside, but the popularity of the show has only increased.
Because the finale was broadcast on New Year's Eve, it attracted the attention of most people, and even those who didn't watch the show stayed for the sake of it.
The finale of "Thousands of Years" ended with a good result of 98% viewership. Director Lin sent a message in the group that night to inform everyone in the crew that he would treat them to a meal after New Year's Eve.
As an investor this time, Yuexing received a lot of rewards. Director Lin invited Xu Shian, but was declined. However, Xu Shian stated that he would reimburse the expenses of the party, and Director Lin almost laughed out loud.
Fang Xin wanted to go back to her room to rest, so she left the task of keeping watch to them.
He fell asleep quickly with the quilt covering him. When he half-opened his eyes in the middle of the night, he heard someone knocking on the door. He asked weakly who it was, but the other party did not answer.
He struggled to get up from the warm quilt, and the moment he saw it was Xu Shi'an, he became much more sober.
"Brother Xu...what's the matter?" Fang Xin changed the subject, and the words Xu Shi'an said before he left his house last time clearly emerged in his mind. In order for Xu Shi'an to be normal and not go crazy and talk back to him, he had no choice but to do this.
Hearing Fang Xin's soft voice as she just woke up, Xu Shi'an coughed twice uncomfortably, "Two more minutes."
"What do you mean two minutes?" Fang Xin's hair was messy, but her eyes were much clearer and she looked at him without blinking.
"Put on your coat and come out." Xu Shi'an ordered.
Fang Xin put on his coat in a confused manner and went downstairs. His face was wrinkled and he kept complaining about this person in his heart. What was he doing going out so late at night without letting him rest?
