Blame the Villain For Being Too Beautiful - Chapter 11
Villainous Movie Queen (11)
After the
meeting, Zhao Qingyu, who is good at buying people's hearts, sent signed
postcards to several of Song Xu Yi's roommates, who were overjoyed and
immediately became Zhao Qingyu's die-hard fans, chanting Zhao Qingyu's name
next to Song Xu Yi almost every day for the next half term.
It was also
from this day that Song Xu Yi discovered that Zhao Qingyu had started calling
her "kid" on WeChat.
Song Xu Yi
protested against the title, after all, Zhao Qingyu was only three years older
than her and it sounded too awkward, but her feeble protests were useless in
front of Zhao Qingyu, the villainess was bent on doing things her own way and
Song Xu Yi could not change her decision at all.
Song Xu Yi
also calmed down afterwards.
During this
period of time, Song Xu Yi has figured out the villainess' temperament: Zhao
Qingyu is often deliberately teasing her, and the more she resists, the happier
she will be, so it is better to calm down and let her do as she pleases, and
when she loses interest, she will not make a fuss anymore.
As long as
she doesn't face Zhao Qingyu's head-turning face, sending out WeChats or
whatever, Song Xu Yi feels she is capable of handling it.
Now
everything is only in the first half of the plot: Zhao Qingyu has made two
films in a row this year, and her debut film has been submitted to a national
award for "Best Actress", with a bright future. The large number of
fans in Super Talk have disclosed that there are numerous scripts sent to Zhao
Qingyu, many of them by famous directors.
It's just
that probably because she's filmed two movies in a row, Zhao Qingyu doesn't
seem to have taken on any new movies lately, she's done a few commercials and
participated in a variety show to keep up her exposure, but the rest of the
time fans have no idea what she's doing.
Song Xu Yi
made a sideways enquiry, but Zhao Qingyu turned the tables on her.
"Why
are you asking about my schedule? Did you want to see me?"
Song Xu Yi
was startled and hastily changed the subject.
But after
all, there was a precedent, and in the days that followed Song Xu Yi was
somewhat trembling, afraid that Zhao Qingyu would suddenly appear in front of
her at the drop of a hat.
Song Xu Yi's
fears proved to be somewhat unwarranted: she did not see Zhao Qingyu again
until the start of the summer holidays.
And as the
summer holidays approached, the number of messages Zhao Qingyu replied to
became less and less, explaining that it was because the signal was not very
good where she was now and the messages were not well received.
This
explanation reveals a message: Zhao Qingyu should not have been abroad.
Song Xu Yi,
who was worried about Zhao Qingyu sneaking out of the country to get in trouble
with the male lead, completely put her mind at ease and began to concentrate on
organizing her summer schedule.
Song Xu Yi
intends to follow the old man of traditional medicine to go to the city and
countryside for medical consultations and to collect medicinal herbs at the
same time.
The old man
came from a poor family and grew up eating a hundred different kinds of food.
Every year in July and August, he would go to the countryside for medical
consultations.
People say
that the old man loves money, for example, he often sees the powerful and the
rich, and accepts the Song family's high tuition fees and Song Xu Yi as his
disciple... But Song Xu Yi knows that the old man has not even bothered to
change his clothes for decades, and most of his money has been donated to the
poor mountain villages.
In order to
solve the problem of employment difficulties for farmers, the old man taught
the mountain people to grow herbs and then bought them at the most affordable
prices, and was a benefactor to the whole village.
This time,
Song Xu Yi and the old man went to the countryside to visit the medicinal herb
base sponsored by the old man for medical consultation and to buy medicinal
herbs on the way.
At first,
Song father and mother did not approve of Song Xu Yi's trip to the mountain
village, but in the end, they could not resist Song Xu Yi's persuasion and sent
two trustworthy bodyguards to Song Xu Yi, and brought a large pile of donated
goods, before allowing Song Xu Yi to travel with the old man.
The
destination of this trip is in the mountain villages situated in the
north-west.
This village
is located deep in the mountains, at a high altitude, and grows hardy herbs
such as ginseng, codonopsis and Gastrodia elata, with access roads coming in
just a few years ago.
Song Xu Yi
entered the village on the tractor that was used to get to the market. The road
was bumpy and Song Xu Yi felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, but she did not want
to cause trouble to others, so she could only desperately endure it, her face
getting whiter and whiter.
"I'm
sorry, most people are not used to this place for the first time, it will be
fine after a few visits..."
The people
next to her were watching Song Xu Yi's movements and naturally knew of Song Xu
Yi's discomfort.
As a
precaution, the old man took Song Xu Yi's pulse and told the two bodyguards
that Song Xu Yi was not in any serious condition, after which, perhaps to
distract Song Xu Yi, the old man began to tell a story:
"Don't
look at the remoteness of this place, in ancient times there was an extremely
famous person from here, guess who it was?" The old man piqued the
appetite of the crowd before speaking slowly, stroking his beard, "This is
the hometown of Emperor Su Qing, a famous beauty nest that has produced many
beauties over the years, but unfortunately this place is too remote ..."
Emperor Su
Qing is almost a household name in this world, even the uneducated original has
heard of her——she is the only female emperor in history.
The life of
Emperor Su Qing is legendary: from a poor background, she joined the army in
the place of her sickly brother, disguising herself as a man, and with her
military prowess, she overthrew a corrupt and ignorant old dynasty, saving the
people from the fire and creating a new generation of prosperity.
Song Xu Yi
did not expect this place to be the hometown of Emperor Su Qing.
The old man
then went on to tell a number of allusions, and after about two hours or so,
towards nightfall, the group finally reached the village, and the climate was
changing extremely quickly in the mountains, with the temperature dropping
significantly by late afternoon.
The old man
welcomed the group to put on the down jackets they had brought with them in
their luggage and repeatedly warned them, "This is a high altitude area
with a lot of climate change, so don't just run out of the village..."
The old man
had long since arranged for accommodation and several people stayed at the
village chief's house for the past month or so.
Most of the
houses here are still old stone houses, and there are only a few red brick
houses in the whole village. Even so, the conditions in the village chief's
house look a bit tough: the tables and chairs look old, the cupboards are
decorated with colour TVs that were almost obsolete more than ten years ago,
and the clothes worn by some of the children are patched...
But the
village chief's family was extremely diligent, the house was cleaned and the
smell of sunlight was still above the bedding, which had obviously just been
washed and dried.
With limited
rooms, the village chief only reserved a separate room upstairs for Song Xu Yi,
and the rest of the group were crammed together.
"Originally,
I was going to arrange for some people to stay at Shuan Zi's house," the
village chief rubbed his hands with some embarrassment and glanced at the next
door, "but Shuan Zi's house recently had some guests, and it seems that
they are working on some big project that the town attaches great importance
to, and the mayor accompanied them over..."
///Missing text
It tastes
toothsome and surprisingly good.
After eating
and washing up, Song Xu Yi went upstairs.
Perhaps
because they were afraid that Song Xu Yi might not be used to the accommodation
here, the village chief's family deliberately smoked some herbs in the room,
and the smell in the house was a bit strong after a day of smoking, so Song Xu
Yi pushed open the window to get some air, but she saw a figure wrapped in a
down jacket standing in the yard of Shuang Zi's family next door.
This is the
guest the village chief was talking about, right?
Under the
wavering porch light, Song Xu Yi could not see the person's description, only
that the person was holding a mobile phone and changed several positions in the
courtyard, seemingly searching for a mobile phone signal...
Song Xu Yi
looked at the person again, and even though she could not see the other
person's appearance in the night, Song Xu Yi had an inexplicable feeling in her
heart: she seemed to have seen this person somewhere before.
However,
after thinking for a long time, Song Xu Yi could not think of anyone she knew
who would come to this poor countryside...
In a short
while, the fragrance in the house dissipated. The night breeze was chilly and
Song Xu Yi could not help but shiver. The moment she closed the window, the
person in the yard next door seemed to be continuing their search for a signal
in the yard...
What
persistence.
Song Xu Yi
yawned and took out her mobile phone, but there was only one bar of signal
left, and the message she sent this morning, "I'm going to the mountains
with my master for medical consultation, the signal is not good in the
mountains, I may not be able to send a message", did not receive a reply
either.
Song Xu Yi
restrained her sleepiness and sent another one:
"Into
the mountains, everything is fine and the villagers are very welcoming."
The sentence
sent out was followed by a circle, and Song Xu Yi was not sure if it could be
sent out, but she was so tired from running around all day that she simply put
the phone on her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the
next morning, Song Xu Yi woke up to find that the message she had sent was
followed by a stinging exclamation mark and had indeed not been sent
successfully.
And shortly
after she fell asleep she received a WeChat from Zhao Qingyu: "Where have
you been?"
How wicked!
Song Xu Yi's
heart was in trouble: the two of them had been used to chatting on WeChat for
nearly a year and had never remembered each other's numbers, and now that they
had gone into the mountains where the signal was poor, communication between
them had become a real problem.
Song Xu Yi
had wanted to take this opportunity to break off contact between the two of
them, after all, in order to maintain her status as a 'fan', Song Xu Yi was the
one who mostly found topics to talk about. However, when she thought of how
Zhao Qingyu's side would react after she unilaterally broke contact, Song Xu Yi
only felt her scalp tingling, and finally reluctantly called the old butler and
asked him to help send Zhao Qingyu's phone number over.
The old
butler was extremely efficient, texting Song Xu Yi with Zhao Qingyu's number
within half an hour.
Song Xu Yi
looked at the number but hesitated to dial it.
She dawdled
slowly, brushing her teeth, washing her face, walking around the yard twice,
finally taking a deep breath, flattening her lips and walking to the yard
entrance with the intention of sticking her head out and make a call to ‘clock
in’.
The door of
Shuan Zi's house next door opened and it appeared that someone had stepped out.
Song Xu Yi
didn't care, she crouched beside the yard gate with a frown on her face and
pressed the phone with a bitter look on her face.
The sound of
"beep, beep..." came from the phone, and Song Xu Yi's frown grew
tighter and tighter.
"——Poof!"
A soft laugh
came loudly from the side and the phone was connected at that instant.
The familiar
female voice with a smile came from above her head and from the receiver,
"Are you looking for me, Xu Yi?"
Song Xu Yi
looked up in amazement——Zhao Qingyu's pretty face, which makes heads turn, was above
her, bending over with her mobile phone and looking at her with a smile!
What is
she... doing here?
Song Xu Yi
froze, seeing the other party's bright smile only to feel a chill at her back,
subconsciously evading backwards, but forgetting her posture, her feet went
weak...
—— "Boom!"
Thank you for the chapter!
