Chapter 472: Chapter 473 The beauty of movies and the cruelty of reality

The last scene of the movie switched to black and white images again, and the sound also disappeared. All the dialogues were replaced with cartoon subtitles: In the rainy night, the protagonist who was beside himself with sadness walked into the small restaurant where he often had dinner with three girls. A waitress who didn’t show her face asked him what he wanted to eat. Absent-mindedly, he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile, ‘Porridge, a bowl of cabbage porridge that is not overcooked.’

The waitress said apologetically, ‘I’m sorry, we only have overcooked cabbage porridge here’. The protagonist suddenly opened his eyes, then his eyes widened with joy.

This waitress should be one of the three girls. In the previous plot, all three of them had cooked the cabbage porridge for him, and without exception, all of them overcooked the porridge. I couldn’t tell who she was because in the last shot of the movie was a close-up shot of a delicate hand placing a bowl of crystal clear cabbage porridge on the table. The middle finger of that hand was wrapped in the band-aid the protagonist used to put on for the female imposter, but the ring finger was wearing the diamond ring the protagonist gave to his girlfriend. Moreover, on the wrist, there was a soft rubber wristband that the first female lead forced him to buy from students who promote environmental protection and raise funds for environmental protection. On that wristband, it was written “Love you, not half-hearted”

Because there was no sound, no one knew who the owner of this hand was. But this scene still made everyone feel inexplicably moved in their hearts. Good people will eventually be rewarded. The protagonist hasn’t lost everything yet. Love that has endured hardship is the strongest love, so he got the most precious thing. As for who was the girl that returned to the protagonist, every audience had their own answers in their hearts.

Some people may say that Hu Yan was just using a clever trick so that he would not offend the audience. However, I had a feeling that even Hu Yan himself did not know who the girl that returned to the protagonist was. After all, love is not something that people can understand fully.

The movie was over, but I closed my eyes, unable to calm down for a long time. The ending seemed to be a happy ending, but there also seemed to be something missing. However, what was missing? Was it a complete ending for the love between the protagonists and the three girls, or was it an answer? But was there an answer to this kind of thing?

Everyone had an answer in their minds. I believed that this was exactly what the director wanted and the reason why he ended the movie with such a vague ending. However, this was a story after all, and it was completely different from reality. Reality was simply, direct, and it could not tolerate obscurity.

I finally knew what was missing. The protagonist in the movie no longer needed an answer, but I must find an answer.

This was often why the beauty of movies reflected the cruelty of reality.

“Nan Nan, Nan Nan?”

“Huh?” I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my face. It turned out that Liusu had pinched me.

“What are you doing?” Liusu said with a smile: “The movie is over. Let’s go.”

Dong Xiaoye also said with a mocking tone, “What else can he do? He fell asleep. It was such a waste of Qin Lan’s kindness.”

“Oh, my bad. You must have seen the entire movie. So tell me, what is this movie about?”

“I,” Dong Xiaoye blushed and fell silent. She and Liusu only focused on talking about the affairs between Wu Lefeng and Mu Rui earlier, and did not pay attention to the movie at all. So naturally, she wouldn’t know what the movie was about. Feeling embarrassed and angry, she raised her leg, wanting to kick me. But in a soft groan, she couldn’t stand firm and fell backwards. If it weren’t for Liusu to hold her, she might have fallen to the ground.

Liusu also felt embarrassed, “Arlight, alright, that’s enough. You two should stop talking to each other. Whenever you two talk to each other, you will get into an argument. Nan Nan, let’s leave here quickly, and don’t make them wait for too long.” What Liusu said was reasonable, but she was clearly using this as a distraction to cover up the fact that she didn’t watch the movie. Was she not worried that if Wu Lefeng asked them whether the movie was good or not, and which scene was the most interesting, they would not be able to answer the question?

Wu Lefeng and the others had already left before the movie was over. They were afraid that the reporters would keep following them. He told us that after the movie was over, we needed to go to a French restaurant called ‘I miss you’ opposite the cinema to look for him. Paparazzi were difficult to deal with, but Wu Lefeng was not an inexperienced newcomer. No one would expect that he, who didn’t want to face the reporters, didn’t actually escape, but hid in a restaurant not far away.

As for the three of us, who were not stars, we could easily blend into the crowd and leave the cinema without any problem. However, the bouquet of roses I gave to Liusu was so eye-catching that I had to leave it in the cinema.

“Where is that restaurant? What is it called again? Little Chu, do you know how to get there or not?”

“It is called I Miss You,” I almost couldn’t help wanting to mock this tiger again. It was just three words, how did she forget that so quickly? “Of course I know. It is diagonally across the road from the cinema. After passing this underpass, we just need to walk two hundred meters more, then we will arrive at that place.”

I was seriously dissatisfied with Sister Tiger’s actions. Liusu felt embarrassed to have any intimate behavior with me, but Sister Tiger draped her arm around my neck and almost clung onto me. We had just left the cinema, how was it possible that she became tired from just a few minutes of walking? Wasn’t she a police woman? Wasn’t she a beast with endless energy?

But this was not the worst. What was worse was that she didn’t even seem to realize that her plump chest was pressing onto my arms. The soft and elastic touch of her breasts made my heart beating rapidly, and Liusu’s teasing gaze made me feel even more ashamed.

Liusu could clearly tell that I felt uncomfortable, but I didn’t know if she felt embarrassed to remind Dong Xiaoye, or she just wanted to see my embarrassed look, she chose to stay silent about my situation.

After finally ‘carrying’ Dong Xiaoye down the steps, a middle-aged woman carrying a green canvas bag suddenly came out of nowhere and stood in front of us. She looked at us for a few seconds and then asked mysteriously. “Sir, do you want DVDs?”

“What DVDs?” I didn’t realise what she was selling immediately and asked instinctively.

The middle-aged woman’s face lit up after hearing my reply. She opened the canvas bag, showing the content inside to me, and said: “European, Japanese, domestic, real people, or cartoons, there are many types… ”

Oh no… It’s that kind of DVDs. I was dazed for a moment before I finally realised what she was selling. With Dong Xiaoye, who was wearing fashionable casual clothes, clinging on to me, we did not look like conservative people at first glance. So it was no wonder that this middle-aged woman would want to sell us this kind of product…

In fact, every night, underground sidewalks like this would have some illegal vendors reselling small commodities. I had encountered people selling adult DVDs at subway stations and bus stations before, but I really didn’t know that they would also sell this kind of thing near a cinema.

The moment Liusu found out what the woman was selling, she quickly looked away with a blushing face. Dong Xiaoye on the other hand was angry and embarrassed that she reached into her pockets to look for handcuffs.

This middle-aged woman really had bad luck. She actually sold adult DVDs to the police. Fortunately, I was here today.

If Dong Xiaoye really arrested her, the dinner with Wu Lefeng tonight would definitely be ruined.

“Elder Sister,” I signaled the middle-aged woman to look at Dong Xiaoye who was clinging on me and said to her: “Do you think I need this kind of thing?”

The woman was dazed for a moment, then shook her head, and left with a smile.

Liusu and Dong Xiaoye were simply too pure. Only after walking far away did they figure out the meaning of my words.

“Nan Nan, your mind is so dirty!”

“Chu Nan! How dare you take advantage of me! Do you want to die?”

The two girls twisted and pinched me again and again. It was so painful that my tears almost came out, “What do you mean dirty? It is called a smart move, alright! You two have never met this kind of seller, so you don’t know how difficult it is to get rid of this kind of person. If you say no, she will only think that you are shy and try to persuade you even harder…”

Dong Xiaoye said angrily : “Then couldn’t you berate her?”

“Berate her? Why?”

Liusu said embarrassedly, “She is a woman, but she…. Is actually selling that kind of stuff on the street. She is so shameless! ”

I smiled helplessly and said, “No one would do this kind of thing willingly, they must have their own reasons.”

“Fine! I will turn a blind eye to what she did,” Dong Xiaoye said in a huff: “But why did you use me as an excuse?!”

Hearing this, Liusu couldn’t help but burst out chuckling: “Sister Xiaoye, you can’t entirely blame Nan Nan for this, you know? Just from the way you clung onto him earlier, anyone would misunderstand it.”

After Liusu finally pointed it out, Dong Xiaoye’s face instantly turned red, and she finally confused her reason, “I also don’t want to do it, but… this pair of shoes I am wearing now are new, so it is a little bit tight, and my toes… toes hurt badly. Little Chu, are you tired? If you are tired, I can go by myself.”

“Sister Xiaoye, I’m sorry, I was just joking.” Liusu said anxiously, “I can tell that there’s something wrong with your feet since the afternoon. Otherwise, why do you think that I didn’t say anything when you clung to Nan Nan earlier? ”

It turned out that this was the reason why Liusu didn’t get jealous today when Dong Xiaoye got so close to me.
