Chapter 107 What a terrible show!

"I couldn't help myself when I saw such a beautiful woman as Sister Yuanyuan."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's lips curled up, and she said reproachfully, "Don't even think about doing bad things. Look how rude you were last night. I need to rest for a few days."

Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "Sister Yuanyuan, I remember you were the one who made the first move last night. I was forced to defend myself."

Gao Yuanyuan blushed slightly and spat lightly, "Come on, I only reached out a little at the beginning, and then you... Hmph, anyway, I need to rest for at least a week."

Noticing that Gao Yuanyuan was staring at him intently after she finished speaking, Ji Qingxu smiled and stretched. "Alright, I'll go back to school later and won't disturb you, Yuanyuan."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan slapped him in embarrassment and anger, "You bastard, what do you take this place for? A hotel? I'll beat you to death, you little rascal."

While defending himself, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Sister Yuanyuan, I'm still a student, I have class tomorrow."

"Study my ass! What makes you look like a student?"

"Compared to Sister Yuanyuan, who played Teacher Gao, I am a bit lacking."

"

Seeing the mischievous grin on Ji Qingxu's face, Gao Yuanyuan's cheeks flushed even more, and she slapped him harder.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard."

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's embarrassed and indignant expression, Ji Qingxu chuckled. How interesting. Last night, Gao Yuanyuan was so proactive when she played the teacher, but today she became incredibly shy after just a couple of sentences. Hmm, next time she plays the role, Ji Qingxu will see if she is still the same as last night.

After the two joked around for a while, Gao Yuanyuan nestled in Ji Qingxu's arms and said, "You can leave after you finish this cup of tea."

Ji Qingxu shook his head with amusement. He was certain that Gao Yuanyuan could stay in his arms all afternoon, being a woman who said one thing but meant another.

"Who said I'd leave after finishing my tea? I'm still waiting to eat the meal you cooked, Sister Yuanyuan. It's such a waste that I only get to eat one meal here."

"Hmph, who wants to cook for you? I'm not cooking, you have to cook for yourself."

"Then let's both go hungry."

"You jerk, couldn't you at least say you'd cook me a meal too?"

"I won't."

"Were you hungry all this time?"

"I eat what my senior brother eats."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat up apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I was just joking with you, I... sob..."

'

Ji Qingxu only released Gao Yuanyuan when her face turned red. "Don't apologize for things like this in the future. I've gotten used to it over the years. I'm not that fragile."

Gao Yuanyuan stared at Ji Qingxu for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare first. I'll cook for you tonight."

As Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking and was about to get up, Ji Qingxu pulled her into his arms.

Gao Yuanyuan quickly said, "Qingxu, I really can't go on. I need to... find other ways to help you."

Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "Sister Yuanyuan, I told you not to rush. It's not even three o'clock yet, and I just finished eating myself."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's face turned bright red again.

"But Sister Yuanyuan, if you... *sobs*..."

'

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan glaring at him with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, Ji Qingxu chuckled.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you hear me?"

Ji Qingxu nodded honestly.

Gao Yuanyuan carefully examined Ji Qingxu before letting go of his hand.

Just as Ji Qingxu was about to speak, he saw Gao Yuanyuan raise her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Sister Yuanyuan, I'm going to take a nap first. Wake me up later."

Seeing that Ji Qingxu lay down after speaking, Gao Yuanyuan quickly said, "Go sleep in the bedroom, it's okay, this room was prepared for you anyway."

Ji Qingxu said with a smile, "I can sleep here and keep Sister Yuanyuan company."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan glared at Ji Qingxu, "All you do is talk a good game. I wonder how many girls you've fooled."

"As long as I can fool Sister Yuanyuan, I don't care about anything else."

"What about Fan Xiaopang?"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Hearing Ji Qingxu start snoring, Gao Yuanyuan laughed in exasperation and couldn't help but pat him a few times.

Seeing that Ji Qingxu didn't move, Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him and got up to walk towards the bedroom. After a while, Gao Yuanyuan came out with a thin blanket and gently covered Ji Qingxu with it. Noticing the slight smile on Ji Qingxu's lips, Gao Yuanyuan looked at him with amusement, then turned off the TV volume, picked up a book, and snuggled up next to Ji Qingxu to read.

Smelling the faint scent of alcohol emanating from Ji Qingxu, Gao Yuanyuan felt not only no aversion but also a strange sense of peace. She couldn't help but turn to look at Ji Qingxu, smiled gently, and then turned her gaze back to her book.

Ji Qingxu woke up after sleeping for two hours. Because Gao Yuanyuan was feeling a little unwell, Ji Qingxu asked Zhang Zhong to pack some food from a nearby hotel that evening. After the two finished eating and drinking, they took a walk in the neighborhood and then returned home to watch TV and chat.

Are you coming next weekend?

"Come."

Hearing this answer, Gao Yuanyuan's face lit up with joy, then she smiled mischievously, "Hehe, it's a pity I won't be home next week... Ah, you stinky Qingxu, don't touch me like that."

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's reproachful look, Ji Qingxu didn't withdraw his hand but asked with a smile, "Going out to film?"

Holding Ji Qingxu's large hand tightly to prevent him from moving around, Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Yeah, it's for filming, I'm just returning a favor."

"Favors?"

Seeing Ji Qingxu's curiosity, Gao Yuanyuan explained, "The director of this drama is Lai Shuiqing, who is the director of my previous drama 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'. I had the opportunity to act in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' thanks to him, so he invited me to this drama, and I didn't have anything else to do, so I agreed."

Ji Qingxu nodded slightly upon hearing this. "What drama?"

"Li Shimin, the King of Qin"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Ji Qingxu blinked.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanyuan turned over and got up. "I'll show you the script."

After a while, Gao Yuanyuan came out of the room with the script. Ji Qingxu took the script, opened it, and saw the introduction on the first page.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the country was in turmoil, and peasant uprisings were rampant. Emperor Yang of Sui, seeing that the situation was hopeless, in order to win over Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, he betrothed his daughter, Princess Ruoxi, to Li Yuan's son, Li Jiancheng...

After reading the introduction, Ji Qingxu's lips twitched. There were too many flaws; it was wrong in every way. A peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty? Anyone who has studied history would not use this term.

There's also the story of Emperor Yang of Sui trying to win over Li Yuan by marrying a princess to him. Putting aside the changes in the relationship between Emperor Yang of Sui and Li Yuan at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Ji Qingxu can roughly guess from this introduction that this drama is a romance drama disguised as a historical drama.

After spending half an hour skimming through the script, Ji Qingxu closed it and placed it on the coffee table.

Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously, "How was this drama?"

Ji Qingxu asked with a smile, "What does Sister Yuanyuan think?"

Seeing the smile on Ji Qingxu's face, Gao Yuanyuan pouted, "I know it's terrible, but there's nothing I can do. Jingwen's 'The Empress of China' had such high ratings before, so the director thought of making another one following the same formula."

At this point, Gao Yuanyuan sighed helplessly, "Actually, Director Lai only invited me to play a cameo role. Jingwen is the female lead in this movie, but she suddenly couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts, so she gave the role to me and just played a cameo role."

Upon hearing Jia Jingwen's name and the words "The Empress of China," Ji Qingxu's expression changed slightly. "Your outfit in this isn't the same as in 'The Empress of China,' is it?"

"No way, I played a princess. In the drama 'The Empress of China,' Jingwen played Wu Zetian. How could that be..."

""

Seeing the strange expression on Ji Qingxu's face, Gao Yuanyuan realized what was going on as she spoke.

"Haha, are you worried that my clothes are too revealing?"

Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "Yes."

Hearing the definite answer, Gao Yuanyuan was secretly delighted, but she said with a hint of annoyance, "Don't worry, I'm playing a princess of the Sui Dynasty, not a princess of the Tang Dynasty. How could I dress up in a revealing way? I've already tried on the costume, it's just a normal ancient costume."

At this point, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes gleamed strangely. "Do you think the costumes in 'The Empress of China' are too revealing?"

Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow. "What do you think of Jia Jingwen's nun's robe?"

"Nun's robes?"

Gao Yuanyuan blinked and stared blankly for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening. Then she snuggled into Ji Qingxu's arms and burst into laughter.

"You know what, Jingwen mentioned this to me before. She said it didn't look like a costume at all, but more like a pair of pajamas, hahaha..."

'

Ji Qingxu had never watched the drama "The Empress of China" in his previous life; he had only seen snippets of it occasionally in short videos, with the one featuring Alyssa Chia in a nun's robe appearing the most frequently.

It must be said that the costumes in some film and television dramas nowadays are more varied than those in later generations, especially the costumes of actors in film and television dramas directed by Hong Kong and Taiwan directors.

"Do you think Jingwen's costume looks good?"

"It looks good... Hmm, can't I even tell the truth?"

Gao Yuanyuan released her grip and snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "What tricks do I have up my sleeve?"

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him, "Jingwen has a boyfriend, and they're getting married soon."

"What does this have to do with me? I don't even know her. Your jealousy is completely unfounded."

"Who do you think is prettier, me or Jingwen?"

"Apart from having a smaller bust, you're even prettier."

"I'm not small at all, I have a standard figure."

"Oh right, perfect figure."

"Hmph, that's true. Do you think being older is a good thing? It's very strenuous."

"You talk as if you're some big shot."

"You stinky Qingxu, are you disgusted with me?"

"I think you're just bored out of your mind. Fine, I'll help you digest it."

"No, ah...no, Qingxu, I was wrong, please forgive me, Teacher Gao knows she was wrong."

"

Upon hearing the name "Teacher Gao," Ji Qingxu was taken aback.

Noticing the change in Ji Qingxu's body, Gao Yuanyuan quickly broke free and walked to the side, saying with a smile, "I'll go get you a bottle of ice-cold mineral water, calm down."

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan rushing towards the kitchen without even putting on her slippers properly, Ji Qingxu couldn't help but chuckle.

When Gao Yuanyuan came out of the kitchen again and handed him a bottle of mineral water with a wary look on her face, Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

Gao Yuanyuan blushed. "You're so energetic, what if you can't resist?"

"Then stop flirting with me."

"I didn't provoke you at all. You're the one who bullied me. You're not allowed to bully me anymore, you know?"

"Fine, you're allowed to bully me."

"Who bullied you? You're so strong."

Muttering to herself, Gao Yuanyuan lay back down in Ji Qingxu's arms. As soon as she lay down, she saw Ji Qingxu's hand reach out. Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but slap it, "Are you trying to freeze me to death?"

After saying that, he grabbed Ji Qingxu's hand and pressed it down beneath him.
