The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince! - Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025

An Xiaxia was surprised . “You’re going to say those lines to me?”

 “Of course . ”

 There was no way he could say those sappy lines to a guy!

 An Xiaxia hesitantly stood in position opposite him .

 Director Yue changed the angle of the camera so that it would only take close-up shots of Sheng Yize . Qian Ming would do this scene again all by himself later, and the two takes would be edited together in post-production .

 With an “Action!”, Sheng Yize concentrated on acting right away .

 Looking into An Xiaxia’s eyes, he suddenly smiled .

 An Xiaxia had seen his different smiles: happy, indifferent, disdainful, scheming, mischievous… but this smile reminded her of all the sadness that was possible in the world .

 “Lu Shang… how I wish I never met you . That way, we’d still be living our separate lives and become entirely different people to what we are now . You can pursue your ultimate justice and I can live as unrestrained as I want . While you cultivate toward becoming an Immortal on Cloud Peak, I’ll be enjoying my drink at Burial Land; you’ll get to play ‘Mourning for Wine’ on any mountain you like, and I can walk among the equinox flowers at Endless Abyss… It was supposed to be this way . That was supposed to be our lives…”

 An Xiaxia was crying before she realized it .

 She had no idea why she was in tears, but the others could tell that she had been drawn in by the emotions .

 “You told me that I deserve to die, and you’re right! I do!” Sheng Yize stressed each word . “Why should I care if this world is destroyed? All I ever wanted was you!

 “You asked me once why I planted all those equinox flowers where you used to live . Women in the human world attach a wonderful meaning to them: even if death separates us, I still hope that we can meet again in another life . I see now that you’ve never realized how I feel about you . ”

 The man smiled sadly . “Lu Shang, I hope we never meet again in another life . ”

 Because he would never have another one .

 Picking up his long sword, Sheng Yize said, “In the name of the lord of all demons, I hereby curse you! I curse you to find a soulmate in every lifetime, with whom you will always live happily until the end!”

 –

 A hush fell over the site .

 No one wanted to be the first to speak .

 Sheng Yize, on the other hand, put the sword back in its sheath, tossed it to the props man, and roused Director Yue from his dazed state . “I think it’s time to say ‘cut!’”

 “Right, cut —” Director Yue came back to himself and said to Sheng Yize, “You did a great job there . ”

 “Thanks to my great partner . ” Sheng Yize raised his eyebrows . Seeing that An Xiaxia was still standing there in a trance, he went up to her and waved his hand in front of her face . “What’s wrong?”

 An Xiaxia threw herself in his arms, her voice dispirited . “I want to give Jiye a different ending now…”

 “Women are so fickle . ” Sheng Yize chuckled . “As much as we love a happy ending, tragedies are usually the ones that are remembered . ”

 Holding her little face in his hands, Sheng Yize said, “But we’re not your characters . You’re not Lu Shang and I’m not Jiye . It’ll never come to that between us . ”

 An Xiaxia nodded, then realized that everyone’s eyes were on them . She pulled herself out of his arms immediately and tried to hide in a corner with her face in her hands .

 Yin Qinghan went up to Sheng Yize . “Now you know why she created that character . ”

 He was the inspiration for the image of that character, but the lines were what she wanted to tell him after they broke up back then .

 Even when they couldn’t be together, she still wanted him to live a happy life — even happier than hers .

 “Dummy,” said Sheng Yize in a low voice . Yin Qinghan chuckled . “Is that what you really think?”

 Sheng Yize smiled . “What more should I want in life when I have a wife like her?”
