Chapter 296 – Spare My Life, Female Hero
“Ah?” Guo Ziyi was dumbfounded and quickly defended, “No, I mean they might think you’re beautiful and easy to bully, and then want to play hooligans.”
“It’s okay, show me how people in the city play hooligans,” Yang Huan stood there looking careless and gestured to Guo Ziyi with her hand.
Xixi saw the excitement here and left Xiao Guai and the others, running over to watch.
“That’s not a good idea, right? There’s a child here,” Guo Ziyi seemed to see a savior and quickly said.
“It’s alright; Xixi can also learn from this. Otherwise, what if she gets bullied in the future?” Yang Huan smiled at Xixi, “Right, Xixi?”
The little girl didn’t care if it was right or not. She thought it was fun and giggled, responding crisply, “Right!”
“See!” Yang Huan waved her hand.
Ding Xiang had a vague feeling that something was not right, but she was too embarra.s.sed to say anything.
But Guo Ziyi still hesitated a bit. He wasn’t the kind of person who liked to play hooligans on girls. He was just a smooth talker…
“Are you still a man? Be decisive!” Yang Huan urged.
How could he endure this? Guo Ziyi gritted his teeth and circled behind Yang Huan. Yang Huan didn’t turn around, pretending to be a wooden person and letting Guo Ziyi do as he pleased.
“It’s like this, they’ll pretend to be your good friend and then come over to hug and take advantage of you…” Guo Ziyi muttered, reaching out to rest his hand on Yang Huan’s fragrant shoulder.
Guo Ziyi swore he was behaving like a gentleman, only lightly touching Yang Huan’s clothes with the palm of his hand. Although from behind, Yang Huan’s figure was indeed very good.
Before he could finish speaking, the hand he just reached out was caught by Yang Huan. Before he could feel the softness of Yang Huan’s hand, his foot was then swept down by Yang Huan with a backward flick, causing his foot to become unstable and his entire body to twist uncontrollably.
By the time he came to his senses, he had been pressed to the ground by Yang Huan like a criminal, with his arms locked behind his back.
“I…” Guo Ziyi’s head was still a bit dull, and he called out.
However…
“Bang,” a fist the size of a persimmon came crashing down, landing on the floor next to him, making a dull sound as it hit the wooden surface.
At that moment, the fist was less than a centimeter away from Guo Ziyi’s face…1
If there was background music, it would be silence at this moment, and then a cold electronic sound would ring out: “It was at this moment, he knew, he f– up2.” (At this moment, he knew he was in trouble!)3
“Spare my life, female hero4” Guo Ziyi finally remembered at this moment. Yang Yi was so skilled, how could his sister be a weak woman who could be bullied? He trembled as he begged for mercy, turning his head to the side.
However, looking to the other side, he couldn’t lift his head to look at Yang Huan. Instead, he happened to see Xixi crouching down. The little girl was looking at him strangely.
“……“ Guo Ziyi wished he could find a hole to crawl into, it was really embarra.s.sing!
“Call me ‘Sister Huan’ and I’ll let you go,” Yang Huan said triumphantly.
“Sister Huan!” Guo Ziyi resigned himself to his fate.
Yang Huan let go of him and helped him up, patting the dust off his body, although there was hardly any because both Yang Yi and Ding Xiang both pay great attention to hygiene.
“Little Guo, Sister Huan will take care of you in the future!” Yang Huan said with a smile.
This was her first time taking a little brother under her wing. Previously, Yang Huan was disciplined by their father at home and was always a well-behaved girl. She didn’t dare to cause trouble at school. Now that she had come to Yang Yi’s place, and Yang Yi didn’t restrict her, “Sister Huan” had let herself go!
Guo Ziyi, however, was not proud of it. He looked depressed, being suppressed by a girl, it was really a great loss of face!
Ding Xiang filled Guo Ziyi’s coffee cup with a mixture of amus.e.m.e.nt and annoyance, and said, “Why do you always provoke her?”
“Sister Ding Xiang, you are still the best,” Guo Ziyi sought for comfort in a particularly despondent tone.
On the other side, after watching this crushing scene, Xixi said to Yang Huan somewhat puzzled, “Little Auntie, why did you hit Uncle Guo? Mama said good children shouldn’t fight!”
Yang Huan rubbed the little girl’s head and said with smile, “Yes, we shouldn’t fight normally, but remember, as girls, we should know how to protect ourselves. If someone bullies us, we must fight back fiercely!”
“Oh!” Xixi nodded, not fully understanding.
……
The commotion on this side didn’t affect Yang Yi and Du Yuanlei. Although Du Yuanlei noticed the scene, she only had a slight change in expression and didn’t say anything when she saw Guo Ziyi get up.
Yang Yi, on the other hand, was looking at her script, reading ten lines at a glance5, flipping through it quickly.
Not long after, Yang Yi finished reading it, only skimming through the plot.
After reading it, he had only one thought: The movie that Du Yuanlei wanted to shoot was a bit like a melodramatic Korean drama…
No, it should be said that it was even more emotionally intense than Korean dramas!
The story was about a girl named Xu Shishi. Her boyfriend, Ah Guang, has an incurable disease. The two of them initially went through a complicated breakup, but Xu Shishi was unwilling to leave Ah Guang and eventually accompanied him through his final journey in life.
After Ah Guang’s death, Xu Shishi was pursued by Ah Guang’s good friend, who was also the male lead. The male lead had always liked Xu Shishi and now was willing to take Ah Guang’s place to take care of Xu Shishi for a lifetime, never leaving her side and never separating!
But Xu Shishi’s heart was still filled with Ah Guang and couldn’t accommodate anyone else, even though the male lead was genuinely kind and took care of her in every aspect, showing utmost attention to details. Most of the plot of the movie was about this aspect, a bit like how w.a.n.g Xiaojian treated Huang Xiaoxian in “33 Days of Breakup”. It was incredibly good!!
But Du Yuanlei just didn’t let them be together…
Therefore, Yang Yi couldn’t help but ask the question that Guo Ziyi had asked before, “What is the theme you want to express with this story?”
Du Yuanlei said somewhat guiltily: “I want to show Xu Shishi’s persistence in love.”
“Persistence towards a man who has pa.s.sed away?” Yang Yi said, “Well, I won’t comment on your concept for now. Let’s talk about the story. If you want to portray this concept, then why create an almost perfect male lead? In fact, if you create a sc.u.mbag or a less perfect male lead, it could also show Xu Shishi’s unwavering loyalty to Ah Guang who has pa.s.sed away.”
“But you’ve created a perfect boyfriend, isn’t that a bit cruel to him? The audience will have a lot of controversy about this!”
Yang Yi’s words made Du Yuanlei fall silence.
“Of course, we’re not criticizing your work, we’re looking for a solution!” Yang Yi said with a smile, “My suggestion is that I use the inspiration your script has given me to write a new script for you, a new story. However, it might have some differences from the movie you imagined. I would rather call it a micro-movie!”
“But don’t worry, you’re still shooting your first personal movie. How about making this micro-movie as practice? I can invest in it, because it just so happens to coincide with some of my promotional plans!” Yang Yi enticed, “What do you think? Would you like to hear my story?”
Du Yuanlei opened her mouth, but she couldn’t say anything in opposition. Her screenwriting abilities had been hit so hard that she couldn’t lift her head. Although according to Yang Yi’s previous statement, changing the male lead’s setting would not prevent her script from being filmed, it would shake up all the plot and almost require a complete rewrite. She didn’t have that much confidence.
“Tell me your story!” Du Yuanlei calmed down and decided to listen to Yang Yi first before making the final decision.
