Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

Lin Qingxia's eyebrows furrowed instantly. She now believed Qin Weiming's words without a doubt: "If that's the case, what should I do? Others will definitely believe him and not me."

"Sister Xia, do you think this is important? What's important is whether you'll change your mind about him because of this, or even want to go back to him. If that's the case, don't make things too awkward with him. Leave yourself a chance first, so it won't be embarrassing if you regret it later." Qin Weiming said to Lin Qingxia without looking up as he changed his clothes.

Lin Qingxia listened thoughtfully, but when Qin Weiming said she would change her mind, she immediately glared at him and wanted to teach him a lesson. Qin Weiming's ear was instantly twisted: "Ouch, that hurts! Sister Xia, why are you twisting my ear?"

"I've already cut ties with him, how could I possibly go back on my word? A good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. Ah Ming, are you deliberately provoking me?"

Lin Qingxia immediately replied.

Qin Weiming was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected Lin Qingxia to be so clear-headed, realizing in a second that he was deliberately targeting her. However, how could he admit it to her face?

"No, I'm just thinking of you, Sister Xia. If you really want to cut ties with him, the best way is to develop your career in Hong Kong and avoid him. He's always been famous in Taiwan, but if he goes to Hong Kong, people might not listen to him anymore. If you stay in Taiwan, many reporters rely on news about the two of you for their livelihood."

Qin Weiming grinned and came up with a bad idea. He remembered that in the future, Lin Qingxia didn't go to Hong Kong to develop her career until she was over thirty. She immediately became famous for her beauty. However, she wasted her best years in Taiwanese films when she was in her twenties.

If Qin Han were no longer a constraint, he could have encouraged Brigitte Lin to develop her career in Hong Kong sooner, which would have been a good thing for future movie fans.

"Go to Hong Kong? I'm from Taiwan." Brigitte Lin was quite surprised, as she hadn't expected this.

Qin Weiming, somewhat flustered after getting dressed, asked, "Sister Xia, isn't the neckline of this dress a bit too tight?"

Lin Qingxia stepped forward to straighten Qin Weiming's collar. Just as she did so, a faint fragrance instantly entered Qin Weiming's nostrils, like the scent of jasmine. He immediately tilted his head back to avoid disturbing his Dao heart.

She simply treated him like a younger brother, but Qin Weiming would never stoop to taking advantage of someone in distress. Besides, his mind was in turmoil, and he desperately wanted to know what Fang Yanmei had been doing while he was away.

"Sister Xia, has anything happened in my family these past few days?" Qin Weiming couldn't help but ask about what had happened in his family.

Brigitte Lin shook her head: "No, ever since that day you sang a song that stunned your parents, they've let you have your way. Now they let you live here without interfering. I never expected you to sing so beautifully. You really hid it well before."

Qin Weiming blushed deeply, a rare occurrence for him. Was that really him singing? It was clearly Fang Yanmei, the future diva, using his voice to subtly express her talent.

"Sister Xia, stop talking." Qin Weiming tried to interrupt her.

Brigitte Lin exclaimed incredulously, "You actually know how to blush! These past few days I've thought you were an old man. You spoke to me in such an old-fashioned way, haha, let me see you. I'm really sorry."

Qin Weiming's back teeth ached from clenching them so much before Lin Qingxia finally let go of him, saying reluctantly, "I didn't expect you to be so cute when you're shy. Hey, Ming, have you ever thought about entering the entertainment industry and acting in the future?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I be going to Guoguang Arts School now?" Qin Weiming replied without hesitation.

Lin Qingxia exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this Uncle Qin's idea, to let you join the choir as the lead singer in the future?"

"That's his idea. My dream is to make movies in Hong Kong," Qin Weiming said directly, stating his own vision.

Lin Qingxia nodded. She hadn't expected Qin Weiming to already have his own plans for the future, and judging from his decisive manner, it seemed he had been thinking about it for a long time, which made her underestimate him a bit: "Then study hard. If there's an opportunity in the future, maybe we can act together again."

"That's great! You'll be my leading lady, Sister Xia, and I'll write some really cool and exciting dramas for you." Qin Weiming started making promises.

Lin Qingxia gave him a disdainful look: "Do you know how much you have to learn to be a director, and how many resources you need to put together a film crew? You should start by being an extra or a supporting actor."

"Oh. But Sister Xia, you were the female lead from the start, so why can't I be the male lead?" Qin Weiming said, feeling frustrated.

Brigitte Lin sighed again: "Then you should try to grow up to be even more beautiful. If you're good-looking enough, someone should be willing to cast you as the male lead."

"Alright, alright." Qin Weiming sighed even more. Lin Qingxia had unintentionally revealed a truth: no matter how talented someone was, most screen opportunities at that time would only be given to good-looking people. This principle is actually slowly becoming obsolete in later generations.

Before leaving, Brigitte Lin asked Qin Weiming for advice: "If I run into Qin Han in the future, should I continue to associate with him as if nothing happened?"

"If you want to continue this entanglement with him, give him some hope. The best way is actually to give him no hope at all. That way, you can help him move on. If you really had any feelings for him, be kind to him." After Qin Weiming finished speaking, Lin Qingxia stared at him thoughtfully. Qin Weiming felt awkward: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Every time we talk about things like this, Ah Ming, you sound like an old man." Lin Qingxia is only in her twenties, and she's in her quirky and playful phase.

Qin Weiming was both amused and exasperated. He realized that when he tried to talk to Lin Qingxia nicely at times like this, she would instead resort to all sorts of jokes.

"Anyway, you can handle it yourself. Once you get caught in the whirlpool, it's not so easy to get out. Sister Xia, remember to come find me when you feel like crying. Anyway, I have enough clothes at home to change into." Qin Weiming waved goodbye to Lin Qingxia. He was packing his things to go home and sleep today.

Given Fang Yanmei's personality, she probably wouldn't bring any useful information to Lin Qingxia's home.

"You brat." Lin Qingxia glared at Qin Weiming's back with resentment, but she felt a little lost as she watched the boy walk away. She knew all too well that her relationship with Qin Han was a tragic one, but that was precisely why she felt she had to move on from it.

Fortunately, Qin Weiming was by her side, but she seemed to be relying too much on her young brother. He also had his own things to do and dreams, Lin Qingxia thought sadly.
