Chapter 135: The feels

Chapter 135: The feels

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

“You were also one of her elementary school classmates?”

Ye Qing felt interested, to the point where he even ignored the movie: “I’m Ye Qing, and you are?”

“I…… I was also one of her past classmates, just in a different class than yours.” The girl’s voice sounded very hoarse, it wasn’t known if this was her natural voice or because she was sick.

“I’ve always had contact with Xu Ninggong and she told me that she had received love letters before, during elementary school.” The girl didn’t introduce herself​, rather she kept on explaining for the empress that was on the stage: “When she was on stage, it was definitely to save her image, hence her flat out denial.”

“That’s not right, so I’ll nag her about this when I get back.”

Ye Qing smiled awkwardly, no longer wanting to chat with this person. They were elementary classmates, so why wasn’t she introducing herself?

Whenever he was meeting with unfamiliar people that require introducing, Ye Qing would always be the first to introduce himself.

She was obscuring herself, not giving her name, and yet she was still helping Xu Ninggong. Naturally, Ye Qing didn’t have a good impression of her.

If it was really like that, then Xu Ninggong oh most definitely remembered it, yet she was completely denying it in front of the media.

Ye Qing understood it, but that still didn’t mean that he felt good about it. Thinking about it from a different perspective, if one day a reporter asked him whether or not he had been confessed to by a girl when he was in school.

Well, there wasn’t one, but if there was, then Ye Qing would definitely say yes.

Because if he said no, then that would hurt the girl’s feelings. Who knows, maybe she was also watching the interview.

Don’t mention how he was right now, even if he was penniless, Ye Qing would still delete all her songs and shove her onto the black list.

Although he didn’t want to chat with her, basic courtesy was still needed.

Hence why Ye Qing whispered back: “Oh ~ sure she remembers.”

“*Cough cough* Alright let’s stop talking, no one likes a chitter chatter in a theater, so let us focus on the movie.”

The girl looked at Ye Qing with complicated eyes, and even tried to mutter a bit more, but Ye Qing had already turned his head.

If one were to calm down and actually watch the film, they wouldn’t find it to be bad, and Xu Ninggong’s acting was pretty on point. In the later parts of the film, the female lead, while at a class reunion, didn’t see the male lead and only found out later that he might’ve died.

The girl acting out of impulse asked her teacher for his address and then, even risking losing her job, trekked thousands of miles just to reach his home town.

Ye Qing could clearly hear sobbing sounds coming from the girls behind them. Even DouDou had sad, red eyes.

Because next would definitely come a tragedy, the plot even hinted about it, with the male lead fainting multiple times at the university.

The typical terminal illness routine was that the female meets with the male and they walk out the last remaining bits of his life together or something of the sorts. However, many of audience had already been brought in, so they could only go with it.

Yet who knew that when the girl arrived in the guy’s hometown on a tractor in tears, a different kind of scene awaited her.

The guy was completely alive, 100% healthy, and even brought fortune to his folks’ farms. [ED: Give me my money back] The faintings from before were all due to malnutrition, low blood pressure, high stress, and pressure from studying. As for not attending the class reunion, that was because the produce had ripened and had piqued the interest of foreign importers, so he was stuck being the translator.

When the two saw each other again, the guy was able to speak four different languages and was even discussing terms with many different foreign importers. When the girl rushed in, both the importers and the guy in question all stared at her in shock.

The audience burst out laughing in tears and even slapping their legs. The girl beside them, now unable to contain herself, asked the still stoic Ye Qing.

“You’re…… still angry at her?”

This ‘her’ clearly meant the leading actress of the film Xu Ninggong.

Ye Qing glanced at her: “No, I’m concentrating on watching the film.”

After being retorted again, the girl was clearly anxious now.

“Could you give me your number? I truly wouldn’t have thought to meet an old classmate here.” She pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and looked at Ye Qing, waiting for his response.

DouDou, from the other side, nervously stared at this strange girl with enmity.

Ye Qing was being talked to by another girl, and she even was asking for his number, how could she not be nervous?

Towards this girl who was covered from head to toe, no matter how DouDou looked at it, she didn’t look anywhere near a normal classmate. As for asking to swap numbers, who knew what game she was playing.

“Oh sorry, I lost my phone, and haven’t asked for a new one yet.” Ye Qing shook his hand: “I’m really sorry, but I can’t give you a working number.”

A clearly unpassable excuse popped out of Ye Qing’s mouth and both girls on his left and right were flabbergasted.

DouDou felt Big brother Ye was just too cool, while the other girl only felt embarrassment.

The sizzling hot shame had her immediately turn around and shun him.

The silence was kept all the way until near the end of the movie when the female lead, when it was found that she was helping the village sell fruits, was immediately fired on the spot by her boss, and just she was going to depend on the guy……

DouDou quietly asked Ye Qing whether or not he was going to go to the signing event for his nephew after the movie was over.

DouDou even said she could line up and help him get one.

“The agreed upon terms naturally needs to be meet.” Ye Qing pulled out his wallet and pulled two neatly folded pieces of paper out.

The girl beside him, when she looked over once again, saw the paper in Ye Qing’s hands.

Although the surroundings were quite dim, but since she was close up she was still able to make out what was printed on those sheets of paper.

One of them was a selfie of a young man with a dazzling smile, while the other sheet was clearly yellowing, and filled with age.

The uneven edges indicated that it was clearly carefully ripped from some book.

The words [Class Yearbook] were clearly printed at the very top of the paper. The name, class, address, and picture underneath had clearly aged to beyond recognition, indicating just how hilariously old it was.

Ye Qing gazed at the yellowing piece in reflection for several seconds, then carefully put it back into his wallet.

The movie on the screen, at the same time, also entered its credits. Ye Qing stood up with that picture in hand and said to DouDou: “Let’s go, I’ll find someone to line up for us to get the signatures.”

Seeing the back of the leaving Ye Qing, the girl with the mouth cover and hat covered her face with both hands.

The auntie like person beside her sensed the peculiarity and hurriedly grabbed her arms: “Ninggong ~ what’s wrong?”

She had already sensed Xu Ninggong talking with the guy beside her, but she thought that was just Xu Ninggong asking the audience what they felt about the movie.

“Ye Qing, you asshole! It was only to deceive the media once.” Xu Ninggong spoke while sobbing, with a duck face was more than enough to hang a gas can on: “I even said Xu Ninggong remembered it, yet you still pulled out the class yearbook for that critical heartbreaking overkill.”
