Master Shen hadn't finished watching the movie before dinner last night; there was still over an hour left, and it was right in the middle.
After dinner, he decided to continue watching, while the eldest son naturally went to attend to his work.
When the eldest son went to the private cinema to pick up Master Shen, Master Shen was hugging a large pillow and crying his eyes out.
Gu Nanyan knew that the movie would end in tragedy, a bad ending, but he never expected Shen Beian to cry like this.
I finally managed to carry him to wash up and lull him to sleep.
The next morning, Fifth Master Shen suddenly sat up, gritting his teeth, "I dreamt about that movie! Who wrote this?! Why did the main characters all die in the end?! Why did the final boss not even show up, just leave behind a single line?! Which idiot screenwriter wrote this?!"
I've never seen a movie like this before!
Which good movies have a main cast wiped out before the final boss even appears?
Gu Nanyan hadn't expected that a movie would leave such a big aftereffect on Shen Bei'an. "It's just a movie, An'an, don't worry too much about it. Besides, this is only the first one. If the response is good, there will naturally be a second and a third one."
She didn't think there was anything wrong with the movie; it was a normal development and an expected ending.
Shen Bei'an's gaze towards Gu Nan'an was tinged with hostility. "Say it again."
His peach-blossom eyes stared straight at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The eldest son immediately changed the subject, "An'an is absolutely right, this screenwriter's abilities still need improvement."
"So what's the ending of the second part?" Shen Beian continued to ask. Surely the second part shouldn't be a tragedy again, right?
Gu Nanyan shook his head, "I haven't seen it either. The second part hasn't been exported yet, and I haven't received the relevant script either."
For Gu Nanyan, watching movies and TV series is not as good as reading more books or going out for fun.
So I'm really not very interested in these things.
"So the Washa has already finished?" Shen Beian asked again, he couldn't wait to see the second part.
"I asked Xingjian, and they said the first Xingjian movie is planned to be released on Qixi Festival."
Shen Bei'an: ? ? ?
"With such a tragedy, everyone's a tragic ending, and the couples either dying or going to the underworld together, you're still planning to release it on Qixi Festival?!"
Is this a recipe for getting roasted?
“Qixi Festival…” Gu Nanyan had always scoffed at the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. “In a sense, isn’t Qixi Festival also a tragedy?” He ruffled Chen Bei’an’s hair.
"Alright, get up. There's an auction tonight, so you can have fun during the day."
The auction was held at night, also for the convenience of some people.
Today seems to be Arno's birthday, and it's estimated that many people will spend a fortune at the auction to curry favor with him.
Although Shen Bei'an was puzzled as to why Gu Nan'an changed the subject so quickly and why he said that, he didn't ask further. "During the day..."
The auction was held at night, making the daytime rather boring.
Having visited the City That Never Sleeps and the Horse Ranch, Shen Beian found that the technology on Fuyun Island was generally inferior to that of Biluo Xiaozhu. He really didn't know what else was fun to do on Fuyun Island.
In Master Shen's mind, this place was not as fun as Listening to the Wind Sing.
"Would you like to look at some past cases of the Empire with me?" Gu Nanyan seemed to notice Shen Bei'an's hesitation and took the initiative to invite him, "It will be beneficial for your future management of the Sprout Foundation."
Upon hearing this, Shen Bei'an immediately acted without hesitation.
"Let's go, let's go!" He had accompanied Gu Nanyan at the company for a while, but Gu Nanyan was mostly working while he was playing games or reading.
Gu Nanyan's most frequent saying is that his presence by her side is the greatest motivation for her.
In one morning, Shen Beian saw too many examples from all over the empire, and he suddenly truly understood what "Why not eat meat porridge?" meant.
He thought the empire was prosperous enough, but in fact, in many remote places, the preference for sons over daughters and the existence of baby towers still existed.
There have even been cases of rape.
As for the Empire's domestic violence law, it was the result of the combined efforts of countless citizens and lawyers, and even the promotion by powerful families.
The biggest change was due to Yu Ci, because those eleven of them made a move.
For the first time, he truly understood why the empires of this world were called empires.
The empire was ruled by aristocratic families, not by ordinary people.
In many places, there are instances of scions of powerful families bullying each other, with each family relying on the other for power; at worst, the victim is exiled abroad.
Many others were pardoned because they were minors, or spent time in juvenile detention centers or prisons.
Their family's power made it less like they were being educated in a juvenile detention center or prison, and more like they were on vacation in a different place.
"Does Hua Yueli want to..." completely change this empire? Shen Beian looked at Gu Nanyan, no, not Hua Yueli, but the twelve of them.
Gu Nanyan's fingers gently brushed across the tip of his nose, his eyes tender. "An'an, not every aristocratic family is as neutral as the Gu family."
"The Gu family's history is much longer than the Shen family's, and power and money are insignificant to the Gu family."
"But one of the Gu family's precepts is—never betray the country and fight for the country."
"The young masters of the Gu family may be stubborn or eccentric, but on the surface they all have the demeanor of a cool and aloof gentleman. This is because the family precepts they have kept in mind since childhood have taught them the first lesson called 'restraint and courtesy'."
“Perhaps I’m cold-hearted and world-weary,” Gu Nanyan said with a hint of self-mockery. “From a young age, I’ve learned everything very quickly. As long as I’m interested in something, I can quickly master it.”
"Even the most difficult things seem simple to me."
"I've come to enjoy languages, which brought me joy for a while; I've come to enjoy thrilling games, and the repeated skydiving gave me the ultimate thrill; I enjoy teasing some old guys and watching them get desperate, but they can't find the culprit, which gives me a sense of pleasure."
"But these things only lasted for a short time, and I quickly lost interest."
"An'an, it's undeniable that you are my exception."
Gu Nanyan pulled Shen Bei'an onto his lap without anyone noticing. Even with the silver-framed mirrors obscuring the view, Shen Bei'an seemed to be burned by that intense gaze.
He had always known that Gu Nanyan learned things very quickly, ever since he was a child.
What others take months or even years to learn, Gu Nanyan can master in just a few days.
But this also brings with it a tremendous sense of emptiness.
"So, since An'an wants to change, why shouldn't I help her?" Gu Nanyan's voice drifted over like a gentle breeze in March. "This can be considered a utopia that I wanted to realize when I was young."
——
It can only be said that the hearts of young people are the purest.
