Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 366: Ten Years of Time and Space Intertwined, a Hundred Years of Fate Reincarnation

Concubine Liu Yi was furious. How could there be such a shameless person?
Xiao Liu's eyebrows were raised, her cheeks were flushed, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open with a fierce look, and she pinched Lu Kuan's nose angrily.

"Your first love? I'm not your first love?"

"I'm a clean and innocent girl, how about you? How many hands are you using?"

"Or is it that Director Lu's virginity is refreshed 24 hours a day?"

After being angrily scolded, Boss Lu was timid and said: "Look at you, why are you so anxious? I was just joking."

As he spoke, he began to gently rub, apply and pick the hair with his hands.

Liu Yifei took advantage of the situation and slapped the lecherous director's hand away: "Go away! Don't touch me!"

Then, a pair of almond-shaped eyes were filled with shimmering water, and she blinked slightly, with half a teardrop hanging on the tip of her eyelashes.

"Wow, wow, wow... I'm so pitiful. How could I fall in love with a playboy..."

Liu Yifei's acting skills were explosive. She unconsciously pursed her lips into a line, and the teeth marks pressed out a crescent-shaped porcelain white on her lower lip, which was immediately soaked with blood.

A mist-like red appeared on the tip of his nose, which became deeper and shallower with the frequency of his breathing. Even the naturally pale blue blood vessels under his cheekbones revealed a fragile luster.

"Clap clap clap!"

Boss Lu clapped his hands with a look of approval: "The crying scene is good, it's already at the level of a top actress."

Concubine Liu Yi, unable to pretend any longer, burst out laughing: "To put it in your own words, this is all thanks to you!"

"All the tears I've cried since I was 15 are because of you, you bastard!"

"I can now perform silent crying with a violent rolling of the throat."

"She cried heartbreakingly, her face covered in snot and tears."

"There's also this..."

Xiao Liu has already entered the state of a movie queen. Before the last word fell, two lines of tears slid down her jawline, but the corners of her mouth remained upturned.

"Crying with laughter."

Boss Lu laughed and said, "Are you showing off your skills here? I can limp in three different ways, and you can cry in three different ways, right?"

Then he vowed: "Don't worry! A responsible man will never let water flow from a woman's eyes!"

Liu Yifei, who had been trained and disciplined by the washing machine for more than a week, understood immediately and looked at him with the expression of an old man on the subway.

I really dislike it!

"Oh, I really regret it. Why did I think of dating you?" Xiao Liu shook his head helplessly: "You don't have such a string in your mind at all!"

"Nonsense!" The washing machine said righteously: "I already said it was my first love. How could it be that I've never been in a relationship before? You have to give me some time."

"You can't?" Liu Yifei said disdainfully, "How do you shoot the love scenes in your movies?"

"Oh, a director who won the Golden Bear and Golden Lion awards says he doesn't understand love. Who is he kidding?"

If she endured it for a while, she would get angrier and angrier. If she took a step back, she would feel worse. Concubine Liu Yi was a little overwhelmed: "Okay, you can't be right? Then I will teach you."

Xiao Liu quickly ran to the bed, squatted on the ground, opened the suitcase and took out the camera.

I tidied myself up a bit, fixed my hair, adjusted my accessories, and put on a bright red lipstick.

Next comes the ever-changing scissor hand selfie pose.

Then he handed the camera to Lu Kuan: "Here, here, sunny and cheerful little beauty, I won't embarrass you, will I?"

Boss Lu was confused: "What do you mean? The real person can be seen and played, why do I need a photo?"

"Get lost and start posting on your blog and Weibo!"

Concubine Liu Yi's eyebrows were raised like a spring mountain filled with anger, and the tip of her nose wrinkled slightly, forming two small wrinkles. "Didn't you say you couldn't do it? I can tell you how to fall in love, right?"

"I know you can't say anything cheesy, so just post: Hello everyone, this is my girlfriend Liu Yifei."

Boss Lu burst out laughing. He was very happy to see that his girlfriend forced him to post on WeChat Moments!
He had only met female sex partners in his two lives, and this was the first time he enjoyed this treatment after changing a character in the middle.

But he has nothing to fear, the impact...

Not big.

After the Bingbing photo attack, he had made all the preparations and would not let unexpected emotional accidents affect his work.

"Why don't you just take out your computer and send it? Why do you need me to do it?"

Xiao Liu stood gracefully in front of the French window, looking at him with a bright face: "You have to think it over carefully. If you tell the world, you will be taken."

"If there are people or things that affect our relationship, I will deal with them legitimately."

Ok?
Lu Kuan felt that the atmosphere was a little off. He raised his head from his leisurely state of squinting in the sun and glanced at the little girl leisurely.

The collision of their eyes was like magnets with the same poles, hovering three inches from the tip of their noses and unable to get any closer.

Beyond the sweet love, there is a subtle aura of confrontation that suddenly appears.

Wow! So you're waiting for me here?
Boss Lu was quite surprised. Xiao Liu has really grown up.

The past events where I expressed my feelings but was ignored or treated perfunctorily are still vivid in my mind. Today, I know how to take advantage of the situation and make requests with justification.

During this period, she always appeared in the image of a little girl who was kissed, hugged and lifted up high. He almost forgot that she was also a heroine who had been competing with him in wits and courage since she was fifteen years old.

Seeing that he remained silent, Concubine Liu Yi felt a little uneasy.

She wasn't looking for a fight or a confrontation, but to get an attitude from him.

This determines how you will pull out the thorn and how you will face the rest of your life journey.

In the dynamic balance of intimate relationships, subtle confrontations are not rifts in the relationship, but the necessary tension that maintains its vitality.

It is like a double-edged sword. It can be a poison that corrupts relationships, but it can also be transformed into a catalyst that promotes deep connections.

Just ordinary people.

Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei's love and subsequent marriage must have been full of power, wealth, fame and status.

If Liu Yifei was just a little girl with a love-brained mind, it would be impossible for her to hold on to such a partner.

Fortunately, she has grown a lot over the years and has never forgotten the true meaning of striving for peace.

Just like how Tang Yan sees her - free and easy, independent, and sober.

She can give everything for Lu Kuan, whether it is the love confession at the birthday party or Fox's selflessness, but this does not mean that she will retreat beyond the bottom line.

Maintaining the uniqueness of the relationship between the two of them was her original appeal!
Five years later, they finally came together.

As a woman, Concubine Liu Yi has the mission of showing her beauty and gentleness and sniffing the roses, which is given to her by her gender and role.

But at the same time, he also has a fierce spirit and uses his own way of doing things to maintain the purity of this relationship, which seems to be a matter of course.

How can a delicate flower, which is broken by the wind and rain and complains about itself, be the companion of a majestic and towering tree?

After officially establishing a relationship, this young couple in love still needs to locate each other's emotional thresholds through subtle collisions.

For example, now.

"What are you going to do?" Boss Lu looked at her with a smile.

Concubine Liu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry about how I deal with you. I will do what I am supposed to do."

"Now that I'm your girlfriend, I'll do what I think is right."

Then, she turned her head to the side with a look of grievance, and lifted the hair beside her ear: "Unless one day you don't want me anymore, then you can tell me clearly."

Seizing this opportunity today, Liu Yifei expressed her attitude like mercury pouring out of the ground, revealing some of the edges of a heroine, and finally "whimpered" to her lover like a kitten.

This style and words, a resolute statement and a humble attitude, a righteous and stern statement and a gentle and bright coexist. It expresses the attitude and gives the man enough face.

Lu Kuan watched her half-true, half-false performance leisurely, with admiration in his eyes.

This is much better than the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Don Quixote who only knew how to charge towards death!
Love makes her blind, but also makes her rational.

People often evolve in the "endless joy of fighting with others".

Although he jumped out of the frame early, from an observer's perspective, this kind of mentality and means are actually still the shape of Boss Lu.

If the current Xiao Liu were to be thrown into a palace fighting drama, all the other female protagonists and supporting actresses would be eliminated within three episodes.

Boss Lu was still watching her performance leisurely, but the little girl couldn't help but smile: "No, no, you're always laughing today, why..."

"Don't be afraid. I didn't mean to make you angry."

She flashed the message on her phone: "I told Siwei, just be casual, we'll do whatever we want, and once the outside world knows about it, we'll make an official announcement."

Liu Yifei hugged her boyfriend affectionately and said, "It's a pity that I didn't scare you. I wanted to see your panicked expression!"

"It seems that you have indeed become much more honest now!"

Boss Lu smiled but said nothing. Your dramatic girlfriend is really immersed in the role. You are the one acting now!
Isn't it because he was afraid that I would get angry, so he suddenly withdrew his all-in hand?
Interesting souls are one in a million, so it seems there will be a lot of fun in the future.

He naturally remained calm from beginning to end: "So let's go out for a walk now? Or..."

The lecherous director raised an eyebrow, and his hand on Xiao Liu's waist began to move up and down again: "How about going to bed for a nap? Take a shower first or something."

Concubine Liu Yi opened the washing machine with a "click!" and said, "Don't call it a washing machine, call it a salted duck egg. It's so yellow it's dripping with oil!"

The girlfriend then virtuously took out a set of neatly packed clothes from the suitcase and said, "It's too hot today, you can wear this short-sleeved capri pants you just bought."

She dug out some bottles and jars from her bag and said, "Hurry up and change. I'll put sunscreen on you after you're done."

It is naturally a great feeling to be taken care of by a woman, and Boss Lu is happy to do it.

Although Liu Yifei is only 20 years old now, she is actually just the age of a sophomore girl.

Even after the relationship was confirmed, there were still some subtle changes. The handsome man and beautiful woman walked out of the hotel hand in hand.

"Xiao Liu, it's so hot, your palms are sweaty, can you open them?"

"No! We have to hold hands! Even if it's hot, we can pretend it's not, but where's the actor's sense of conviction?"

"Don't you also have ten fingers on your left hand clasping your right hand?"

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows: "Stop talking nonsense, don't force me to hit you in such a beautiful place!"

. . .

The place where the two of them stopped by car was indeed beautiful.

It is a quiet lakeside, and it is also the place where Princess Sissi "fished" Emperor Joseph with her fishing rod in the movie.

The hero and heroine met here to hunt and fell in love at first sight.

This is why Concubine Liu Yi wanted to come here.

The two of them strolled in the shade of trees by the lake. Melted snow from the southern foothills of the Alps flowed over the sandstone, and the shadows of the fir forests cut diagonally across the water.

The midday light caused ripples on the water, breaking into silver diamonds, so bright that people could not open their eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Liu also felt a little hot, and just when he was about to loosen up, Lu Kuan held him tightly again.

"What? Aren't you hot?"

"Hold me if you say so, and let go if you say so." Boss Lu decided to assert his authority as a husband: "Shut up! Don't force me to kiss you in such a beautiful place!"

"Come on, come on!"

The two laughed and joked for a while, and Liu Yifei stood in the shade by the lake with her boyfriend, leaning on his shoulder, wholeheartedly enjoying the last stop of this journey of love.

The little girl's voice reminiscing about the past was heard.

"I first watched 'Sissi' in 1997."

"That year they separated, and I followed my mother to the United States. My father gave me a set of 'Princess Sissi', a French-Canadian co-production. The original version was in French."

"This is a children's cartoon that made me know Princess Sissi and this small Austrian town."

"Later, I asked my aunt to send me the Shanghai Film Translation Studio's copy of Princess Sissi from China. I still remember that line from it."

Concubine Liu Yi looked up at Lu Kuan with her bright and pretty face, and recited a line of dialogue first in French and then in Chinese: "I am not a star, I am a firefly."

The latter nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood what she meant.

"Sissi" is a classic movie and a must-see.

The origin of this line is that Princess Sissi was forced to leave her free rural life and become the Queen of Austria.

She does not want to be worshipped in a high position like a "star", but rather desires to retain her own faint but real light like a firefly.

If Liu Yifei vaguely understood the cause of Lu Kuan's character through his dream memory;
The road is now wide, and from her description, we can get a glimpse of the formation of Xiao Liu's tenacious and independent character.

Princess Sissi, who left her hometown and went to New York, was just as strange and out of place as Princess Sissi who was "trapped" in the palace in the movie.

That's why I can empathize with this line.

"My mother gave me this nickname, and this line from the movie by Princess Sissi is deeply engraved in my memory. So when you used 'Sissi' to encourage me to hone my acting skills, I immediately..."

The washing machine smiled and said, "Are you in love with me?"

Xiao Liu pouted, his voice becoming increasingly sweet. "Don't be so conceited. I just have a crush on you. You hated me so much back then, and you kept insulting me."

After falling in love, couples always take the trouble to reminisce about the trivial things during the hazy period of their relationship.

Looking back at the ignorance, embarrassment and emotions of that time from today's perspective has a different feeling.

Of course, for this pair of boyfriend and girlfriend, it is mainly Xiao Liu who is expressing his feelings in a gentle and soft voice.

1997 in different time and space:
Ten-year-old Liu Yifei had no choice but to accept the reality of her broken family and timidly began a new journey of life in a foreign land.

At that time, she didn't know that she would soon meet the man who would tie her life together.

Fifteen-year-old Lu Kuan watched with tears streaming down his face as his adoptive mother Zeng Wenxiu passed away, thus beginning a dark fairy tale in modern society.

He didn't know at that time that his heart, which had been as hard as iron after two lives of lonely walking, would be captured by this tough and kind girl after his rebirth.

Ten years later, in 2007, in the same time and space.

On the quiet lakeside of Bad Ischl, Austria, the real Princess Sissi and her director came to the place where history took place and also entered the movie.

They seemed to no longer be the great director Visconti and actress Romy Schneider, but Sissi and Joseph who were in love in the movie.

I watched the gilded spire of the Baroque bell tower on the opposite bank pierce through the clouds, refracting the sunlight into molten gold like a 17th-century alchemist, flowing into the center of the lake in strands.

The abandoned oak boat was half submerged in the reeds, and the freshwater snail shells attached to the side of the boat looked like a breathing enamel edge inlaid on the rotten wood.

At this moment, two souls from different worlds embrace and kiss each other, enjoying the last stop of their love journey.

Perhaps only the reflection of the white clouds at the bottom of the lake knows that one hundred and fifty years ago, when Princess Sissi and King Joseph fell in love at first sight while fishing by the lake...

Also 16 years old.

Ten years of time and space intertwined, a hundred years of fate cycled, and God's hand brought the two people together.

When the last ray of light before dusk shines through the gaps between the dogwood berries, it illuminates their kissing young faces, casting a golden halo on their profiles.

This moment has become eternal.
