QWAPMP Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Twin Male Supporting Character Brother

Good Friends, Long Time No See was filmed in just six months and was approved for release. Not long after filming wrapped, Ning Keran sent Song Xi a message about it and invited him to watch the movie.

Adding to this, Song Xi himself had been rejected by the author of this movie’s original work, so he was also a little curious about the film, which is why he thought of going to see it.

On the first day of its release, most of the audience watching the movie in the cinema were girls, who were fans of the book.

Even if there were boys, they were there accompanying their girlfriends.

When Yan Ye appeared alone in front of the ticket machine to scan his ticket, many girls cast surprised glances at him.

Although Yan Ye didn’t quite understand Song Xi’s request to help watch the movie, he still came.

He got his ticket and walked towards the ticket checker. Even though many girls were looking at him, Yan Ye’s pace remained quick.

After checking the ticket, it was Yan Ye’s first time entering a cinema to watch a movie. He looked at the seat number on his ticket and found the corresponding seat to sit down.

Slowly, fewer and fewer people were at the cinema entrance. As the lights dimmed, the movie officially started. Most people consciously lowered the brightness of their phone screens, just waiting for the movie to begin.

Yan Ye’s seat was the first on the left in the seventh row. When he first sat down, the seats next to him were empty.

It wasn’t until the lights dimmed, plunging the area into darkness, that a rustling sound came from not far away.

The sound approached Yan Ye’s direction. Just then, a faint light appeared in the cinema; the opening credits had begun.

Yan Ye used the light to see who was coming, and the corners of his cold lips curved slightly. He glanced at the empty seat next to him, signaling with his eyes.

Song Xi was still holding popcorn and two cups of cola, a trace of unnaturalness flashing across his face. But fearing he would disturb others watching the movie, he quickly sat down next to Yan Ye.

Too fast, Yan Ye found him too quickly. He had originally planned to grope in the dark to hold this person’s hand and give him a surprise. Who would have thought the cinema lights would turn on so quickly?

After Song Xi sat down, he kept his head down. Yan Ye turned his face to look at him and whispered, “Is this a surprise for me?”

He came back secretly without telling him in advance, and even lied about wanting to watch a movie.

The moment the light came on, Yan Ye was also slightly startled when he saw the confused person.

“I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but it doesn’t count anymore,” Song Xi mumbled softly, handing him the cola he was holding.

Yan Ye took it and placed it on the armrest of the chair. “It counts. Do you know that the moment you appeared in front of me, I thought I saw the wrong person!”

“Really?” Song Xi looked up at him, wanting to see if he was telling the truth or just trying to make him happy!

Yan Ye didn’t answer again because the opening credits had ended, and the movie’s story began. He made a shushing gesture to Song Xi, smiled slightly, and turned back to watch the movie.

Song Xi gently covered his lips with his finger, also realizing he couldn’t keep talking in the cinema. He turned his face to look at Yan Ye.

They hadn’t seen each other for six months, and he missed this person very much. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, he would want to hug Yan Ye.

Song Xi’s gaze was too intense. A helpless smile appeared on Yan Ye’s lips, and he took Song Xi’s hand. “Don’t look at me, watch the movie first.”

Since they were here, they should watch it properly.

Good Friends, Long Time No See started with a tragedy, which is rare in domestic films. If it hadn’t had a group of book fans, the beginning of this movie would not have been easily accepted by netizens.

Fortunately, it interspersed many humorous and suspenseful scenes in the middle.

Audiences who hadn’t read the novel didn’t know that Xie Luoxiang was also a reborn person. After rebirth, they both desperately tried to save each other and change each other’s fate. However, contrary to their wishes, the ending was surprising, and it caused a burst of sighs among the people in the cinema.

Xie Luoxiang died after the college entrance examination, committing suicide due to depression.

Just when everyone thought the college entrance examination was over and freedom awaited them at university, Xie Luoxiang, as a college entrance examination student, publicly posted evidence online of herscumbag father assaulting her, and then committed suicide by burning charcoal at home.

Lin Sixue only learned the news from a teacher after leaving the examination hall and fainted on the spot.

The movie scene shifted, and Lin Sixue woke up in a hospital. After waking up, she wanted to find Xie Luoxiang, but the doctor told her she had just been in a car accident and had been lying in the hospital for half a month. Her body hadn’t recovered yet, and she couldn’t be discharged.

Lin Sixue was stunned. The words “car accident” reminded her of something: she had been in a car accident after attending Xie Luoxiang’s funeral.

But hadn’t she clearly still been at school, having just left the examination hall? Why was there another car accident?

Her head hurt, and the doctor told her to rest quickly. Lin Sixue covered her head in pain, laughing and crying at the same time.

Everything seemed fake. Xie Luoxiang was dead, still dead. No matter if she had returned to high school or not, Xie Luoxiang was still dead.

Her good friend was gone forever.

Two days later, Lin Sixue was discharged from the hospital. Xie Luoxiang had already been buried. Lin Sixue brought a bouquet of white roses to visit her.

In the movie’s ending, Lin Sixue murmured softly, as if talking to herself, “I didn’t even have time to say… I like you!”

A gentle breeze blew, the surrounding flowers and plants rustled, and the rose petals lightly fell onto the offerings.

The ending credits appeared on the big screen. Yan Ye had good hearing and could already hear the sobs of many empathetic girls.

The ending of the novel and the movie were completely different. Song Xi couldn’t snap back for a long time, his expression blank as he looked straight ahead, his fingers slightly clenched.

One could see that he also couldn’t accept this ending.

He had thought they would succeed, that they could save each other, but who would have thought…

“Let’s go!” Yan Ye called out to wake Song Xi up, fearing he was immersed in that sad atmosphere.

“Okay.” Song Xi replied blankly. As he stood up, he said again, “It’s different from the ending in the book.”

After finishing his audition, he had found time to read the entire novel. Although the novel’s ending was open-ended, it at least left room for infinite imagination.

Song Xi felt astifled/heavy feeling in his heart, an unspeakable emotion.

After watching a movie, he seemed to have forgotten the character he had auditioned for before.

“Hmm, how is it different?” Yan Ye asked, walking beside him and raising his hand to help him put on his hat, preventing him from being recognized.

Song Xi explained, “In the novel’s ending, Xie Luoxiang didn’t die. She just went abroad.”

Yan Ye finished helping him put it on. “So, you can’t accept that she died in the movie?”

Song Xi nodded hesitantly, feeling like there was some regret.

Yan Ye ruffled his hair and led him out of the cinema. “It’s just a movie, don’t think too much about it!”

Although he said that, a faint guess emerged in Yan Ye’s heart. Reality is often cruel, and the movie’s ending might be the real one.

Song Xi looked up slightly and smiled, adjusting his emotions.

He didn’t want to keep dwelling on the movie’s plot and feeling sad on the first day he saw Yan Ye.

“Was the filming of ‘Wolf Child’ smooth?” Yan Ye actively found another topic to talk about.

It had been six months; it was time to wrap up filming.

Song Xi ate the popcorn he had brought out of the cinema and nodded. “I’ve wrapped up filming. Finally, I don’t have to be fed to mosquitoes anymore.”

“Congratulations, then shouldn’t we find a place to celebrate?” Yan Ye asked playfully, already driving towards the restaurant they often went to.

Song Xi’s eyes curved in a smile, and he grabbed a handful of popcorn to feed to Yan Ye.

Yan Ye ate a few kernels, then shook his head, telling him to eat it himself.

That night, Song Xi didn’t go on Weibo. He did so the next day, only to discover that many things had happened during the six months he was away.

Rakshasa Commandment had aired, and the ratings were quite good, but it was quickly taken down again, the reason being related to him and Chu Hui.

Upon seeing the news about Chu Hui inciting male fans to intentionally harm someone, Song Xi was so surprised that his tablet fell onto the bed.

He looked at the news content in disbelief, then let out a cold snort, thinking it was deserved.

Yan Ye got dressed and looked at the person still sitting on the bed, smiling gently. “How about resting at home for a couple of days first?”

Song Xi found that he hadn’t been forgotten by netizens, and his name could still be seen in entertainment news, so he relaxed and nodded.

Having been off the internet for half a year, he had to see if any major events had happened online during that time.

Once Song Xi’s internet addiction kicked in, he played on his phone all day. He only realized the time when Yan Ye was about to get off work. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go pick Yan Ye up.

Song Muhan came to see Yan Ye every few days. The secretary was used to it and said the same thing as always, “Young Mr. Song, Mr. Yan is busy right now. If you’d like to see him, please wait in the reception room.”

Song Muhan went to the reception room with familiarity, drank two cups of tea, and waited and waited, but still didn’t see Yan Ye. He had initially thought he would have to leave like before, but just as he was getting up, he saw a familiar figure.

“Song Xi!” Song Muhan stood up, his movement too large, knocking over the cup on the coffee table.

Pulling open the reception room door, Song Muhan called out Song Xi’s name and searched in the direction where the figure had just left.

Song Xi had originally planned to go to Yan Ye’s office to find him, but hearing someone call him from behind, and the voice sounding very familiar, he stopped and looked back.

It was Song Muhan. Song Xi’s surprised expression faded considerably, and he asked coldly, “Why are you calling me?”

“I…” Song Muhan’s words reached his lips and suddenly became difficult.

The reason Song Muhan had been visiting Yan Ye’s company so frequently during this time was that he was getting married. He was looking for Yan Ye because he wanted to find Song Xi, to tell his elder brother that he was getting married and ask his elder brother to attend his wedding.

Song Muhan took a deep breath, wanting to tell him in a very normal tone, “I’m getting married.”

They’re already engaged, isn’t marriage bound to happen sooner or later? Why tell him?

Song Xi frowned, wondering what Song Muhan was here for. To show off, or to ask him to bless them?

Dream on, impossible. Although he wasn’t thinking about marrying Meng Zhou anymore, the thought of Meng Zhou’s threatening gaze from before still made Song Xi very uncomfortable.

“What does that have to do with me?” Song Xi said dismissively.

Hearing his tone, Song Muhan was a little anxious. “Aren’t you coming?”

“Why would I go? To witness your happy lives?” Song Xi scoffed. “Sorry, I don’t have time.”
