Chapter 553: Happiness 553, Actually Very Simple_1
Chi Xi’s mouth dropped open, his jaw was about to hit the table.
Holy crap, a husband?
Lu Qingyi has a husband?
Chi Xi found it somehow very strange to hear the word "husband" coming out of Lu Qingyi’s mouth.
"You... are... married?"
Chi Xi asked, stuttering in disbelief, his eyes bulging with shock.
Lu Qingyi...
Well...
Chi Xi found it mysterious.
Lu Qingyi responded calmly: "Yeah."
Being married was not something surprising.
"When?"
Chi Xi managed to control his emotions and asked slowly.
It was mind-blowing.
"Quite a while ago, on my twentieth birthday."
Lu Qingyi yawned, feeling sleepy after a full meal.
On her twentieth birthday?
Chi Xi was too shocked to speak. It was really hard to imagine.
"I’m tired, I need a nap."
Lu Qingyi threw away the lunch box and went to the lounge.
Well, she was indeed feeling sleepy.
Chi Xi stared blankly at Lu Qingyi as she left, he hadn’t fully digested the news yet.
——
The shooting of the movie had been going on for a week now, everything was going smoothly.
"Kiddo, do you want to take a short nap?"
At the dining table, Xu Boyan looked at Lu Qingyi, who seemed worn out, and asked softly.
Recently, Lu Qingyi seemed to be feeling rather sleep-deprived, appearing a bit slow and lethargic.
"No need for that. The movie is progressing smoothly. It should finish sooner than we expected."
After a yawn, Lu Qingyi stuffed a piece of bread in her mouth and spoke with a low voice.
She had been feeling sleepy lately. After finishing this period of work, she planned to take a proper break.
"I shouldn’t have let you shoot the film. Seeing how tired you are hurts me."
Xu Boyan hugged Lu Qingyi around the waist, feeling pained. His chin rested on top of her head as he sighed deeply.
It hurt him deeply.
Seeing Lu Qingyi working exhausting hours every day was unbearable for him. Whether he said it or not, his concern was real.
"I don’t feel that tired. It will be over soon,"
Lu Qingyi gave a soft smile and replied gently.
She knew Xu Boyan cared for her. However, she couldn’t just quit halfway. Plus, the film recorded the beautiful times they had spent together, which could be cherished as memories in the future.
The movie had indeed been tweaked a bit but the general storyline was the same, maybe just a tad more perfect than real-life experiences.
After having breakfast, Xu Boyan drove Lu Qingyi to the set.
"I will come to pick you up for lunch."
Xu Boyan opened the door for Lu Qingyi, hugged her before she left, and whispered it softly to her.
She had lost weight. He doubted if she had been eating properly.
Although he made every meal she had, he didn’t deliver it to her in person. So, Lu Qingyi might not have eaten properly.
"Alright."
Lu Qingyi gave a sweet smile, radiating happiness.
Every moment spent with Xu Boyan filled her with immense joy.
"Remember to rest when you’re tired."
Xu Boyan bent down and gave Lu Qingyi a light kiss on her lips. Their lips barely touched before they parted.
"Sure."
Lu Qingyi’s smile was particularly tender.
Perhaps, this is what happiness feels like, being loved and cared for by a significant other.
Only after watching Xu Boyan drive away did Lu Qingyi turn around to leave.
"Idol, is that your husband?"
Chi Xi, wearing a baseball cap, slowly took it off, looking at Lu Qingyi as he asked.
He couldn’t believe what he just saw; Lu Qingyi smiling so tenderly, blushing like a young girl.
It was... truly unthinkable.
For a moment, Chi Xi doubted his own eyes, rubbing them to see if the view changed.
"Yes, he is."
The smile on Lu Qingyi’s face didn’t fade.
Chi Xi: "He’s quite handsome."
No, not just quite handsome - very handsome. But as a man, he couldn’t very well exaggerate when praising another man.
Judging from his dressing style and the car he drove, he must be a remarkable person.
Lu Qingyi: "Yes, he’s okay."
"You... are actually married?"
Chi Xi still couldn’t believe it, so he asked again.
"Do you need to see our marriage certificate?"
Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile flashed in her eyes as she looked at Chi Xi.
Sure, her marriage was something that many people found hard to believe, but it was the truth.
"No, no, it’s okay."
Chi Xi waved his hand, dismissing the offer.
He believed it now.
"Idol, what does he do?"
"How did you guys meet?"
"How long did you know him before marrying?"
"By the way, are you planning to have children?"
"Idol Idol, do you think you now....."
"....."
As they walked together, Chi Xi bombarded Lu Qingyi with a flurry of questions, unable to control his curiosity.
"Can you keep quiet, please?"
Rubbing her temples, Lu Qingyi interrupted Chi Xi, sounding rather irritated.
How did she not notice before that Chi Xi was such a chatterbox?
Boy, he sure talked a lot.
"Ok, fine, I’ll stop talking."
Chi Xi zipped his lips shut.
"Why don’t you tell me then?"
After a while, Chi Xi couldn’t help but ask again, eagerness seeping into his voice.
"It’s just like the plot of this movie. There are some changes, though."
Lu Qingyi pushed back her hat, her hands tucked inside her pants pockets as she spoke in a relaxed tone.
Chi Xi was taken aback for a moment, then it clicked.
Whoa.
No way.
Chi Xi realized the movie Lu Qingyi was shooting was about her own story.
Earlier, he couldn’t figure out why Lu Qingyi suddenly wanted to shoot a movie, especially one that did not cater to the current market trends.
It turned out that Lu Qingyi wanted to make a movie about herself.
While Lu Qingyi had walked quite a distance away, Chi Xi was still stunned in place.
"Hey, I kind of get it now."
Running to catch up with Lu Qingyi, everything fell into place in Chi Xi’s mind.
Lu Qingyi was rich. She was just doing what she loved and being hands-on about it.
The crew members watched as Lu Qingyi and Chi Xi entered, their eyes darting between the two of them.
They were definitely curious.
Chi Xi’s manager looked at him, helplessly facepalming. He feared that Chi Xi’s carefully built public image would collapse during the filming.
Chi Xi was supposed to exude a gentle vibe, not a clownish one. In reality, Chi Xi was a bit foolish and often talked nonsense.
He was a complete goofball.
The manager looked at Chi Xi chasing after Lu Qingyi, he could practically see Chi Xi’s public image crumbling down in that moment.
