Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

On the table were poached eggs, noodles with hot oil, and mutton stew that Xu Ying had bought that morning.

There was also a bouquet of Jing Tian's favorite flowers. This man is so thoughtful!

Jing Tian's heart melted when she saw these.

The faint pain emanating from her body was still a reminder of her madness last night, and upon thinking about it, her legs went weak again.

Did I switch to dialect at the end last night?

What?! I'm not going to make it... I'm about to die...

No, no, this is too embarrassing!

My senior probably doesn't remember, right?

She glanced at Xu Ying furtively, only to find him looking at her with a half-smile, as if he had guessed her thoughts, before she could even speak.

Xu Ying, speaking in a strong Shaanxi accent, said, "Girl, isn't she beautiful?"

"Don't say it!" Jing Tian covered Xu Ying's mouth in embarrassment and anger. "Eat breakfast! If you dare say it, I... I won't eat!"

Seeing that Xu Ying was about to say something, Jing Tian hugged him and started kissing him wildly.

Practice makes perfect, and this girl already broke through her own limits last night.

Xu Ying was also very moved; he hadn't expected Jing Tian to speak in dialect.

Moreover, when she speaks in dialect, her voice is even more sweet and coquettish, which is quite a contrast.

Thinking of this, his heart burned with desire again. Just as he made a move, Jing Tian slipped away like a slippery fish.

"Senior brother! No flirting!" Jing Tian made an X with her hand, very wary.

Xu Ying was both amused and exasperated. He was only thinking about it; you're being too sensitive.

Yes, it is indeed very sensitive; he has tried it.

After playing around for a while, the two ate and chatted.

"I'll be busy with the movie's promotion in a few days," Jing Tian pouted, looking a little unhappy.

Previously, she longed to promote the movie, but now she just wants to be with her senior.

"Keep it up! Let's go see it together when it's released." Xu Ying's smile was gentle.

Although this film did not perform well, it was still better than Jing Tian's later film, "The Warring States".

"Brother, I have another movie coming up. Do you want to come with me?" Jing Tian looked up at Xu Ying, her eyes filled with hope. "This movie has a big budget, and the cast is expected to be very strong!"

"What movie? Has the filming schedule been finalized?"

"The title is 'The Warring States Period'," Jing Tian thought for a moment, "and it'll probably be released next March."

As if by magic, Xu Yingcai had just thought of the Warring States period when Jing Tian brought it up.

He was just wondering how to find an excuse not to participate in the film, and in March, "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" also started filming.

"Hmph, boring."

How to put it? This movie is a terrible film, and it's also a dark chapter in Jing Tian's past that she's often brought up.

The total investment was 1.5 million yuan, but the final box office results are probably forgotten. Anyway, the box office was far below expectations, and the costs were not even recovered.

They found Sun Honglei, Wu Zhenyu, Jiang Wu and others to play supporting roles, and also specially invited Guo Degang and Jin Xishan.

The cast is quite strong.

But there was no way to persuade Jing Tian at this point; the project had already been approved, and they couldn't just abandon it.

The only solution he could think of right now was to train Jing Tian's acting skills. Well, how should I put it, her acting skills were watchable.

She's nowhere near excellent, which is why Jing Tian was criticized in this movie.

Jing Tian's current acting skills are simply not up to par for such a leading lady role, especially since she's paired with some more established actors.

Without comparison, there is no harm; she was utterly defeated.

"I'll go shopping with you for a bit first, and then we'll meet up with the other guys this afternoon to discuss the script. I'll spend the next few days helping you practice your acting." Xu Ying picked up a tissue and wiped the oil off Jing Tian's face.

Jing Tian remained motionless, staring blankly as she asked, "Is my acting really that bad? I'm trying so hard to learn!"

Seeing Jing Tian's self-righteous attitude, Xu Ying was amused. This girl was always running around outside and hadn't been paying attention in class, yet she still had the nerve to say she was trying to study hard.

Yes, I have studied, but not enough.

Xu Ying shook his head. "Not enough."

"Senior brother~ I've been working so hard, please take a rest for the next few days~"

"No." Xu Ying ignored Jing Tian's somewhat resentful gaze.

To prevent this girl from receiving less criticism from netizens after the movie's release, it's essential to improve her acting skills.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you!" Jing Tian's lips were practically pouting.

With lightning speed, Xu Ying pinched her mouth, then quickly got up to dodge Jing Tian's skeletal claws.

"Let's finish eating quickly, then we'll go visit the Forbidden City!"

"I won't eat it!"

"If you don't eat me, I'll eat you instead!"

"Ah, no, I don't want to eat it!"

......

After finishing their breakfast and getting ready, the two went out.

The September sun was shining brightly, casting its light on Jing Tian's face through the car window. She squinted, looking like a lazy cat.

Xu Ying drove, occasionally glancing at her with a smile on his lips.

"What are you looking at? Humph." Jing Tian noticed his gaze, and her face flushed slightly.

"Look at my girlfriend," Xu Ying said matter-of-factly.

Jing Tian felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but deliberately turned her face away to look out the window, "Focus on driving."

The car slowly merged into the traffic.

It's not the weekend, so there aren't too many tourists at the Forbidden City.

The two bought tickets and followed the crowd into the Meridian Gate.

The towering red walls and golden glazed tiles exude a profound sense of history.

Jing Tian held Xu Ying's hand, her steps light and quick.

"I haven't been here in a long time," she said softly.

"When was the last time you came?" Xu Ying asked.

"When I was little, I was with my family," Jing Tian recalled. "Back then, I thought this place was so big, and it was so tiring to walk around."

Xu Ying held her hand tightly, "Let's rest if we're tired today."

"Um!"

They walked slowly along the central axis, and magnificent halls such as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony unfolded before their eyes.

Jing Tian looked up at the ridge beasts on the eaves; the sunlight was a bit dazzling.

"Senior brother."

"Um?"

"Do you think the people who used to live here ever felt lonely?"

Xu Ying thought for a moment, "Maybe. Sometimes, such a big place feels even emptier."

Jing Tian nodded and didn't say anything more, but just leaned closer to him.

Passing through the Qianqing Palace, we arrived at the Imperial Garden.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, and pavilions are scattered about, giving it a more vibrant feel than the grand halls in front.

Jing Tian pulled Xu Ying to sit down on a stone bench.

The autumn wind rustled through the treetops, carrying a cool breeze.

Jing Tian rested her head on Xu Ying's shoulder and closed her eyes.

"I wish it could stay like this forever," she whispered.

Xu Ying put his arm around her shoulder, "We can come whenever we want."

"real?"

"Um."

Jing Tian opened her eyes and smiled at him.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting shadows on her face, and her smile was so bright and captivating.

Xu Ying was mesmerized.

After sitting for a while, the two got up and continued shopping.

When they reached the Shenwu Gate, Jing Tian suddenly stopped.

"Senior, let's take a picture."

Xu Ying took out his phone, and Jing Tian leaned over, her head touching his.

Behind them were towering city gates and a clear blue sky.

Jing Tian's eyes crinkled, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

The shutter was pressed, freezing this moment in time.

It was already afternoon when I left the Forbidden City.

Xu Ying checked the time. "It's time to meet with them."

Jing Tian nodded, then turned back for one last look, somewhat reluctant to leave.

She hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

The car drove to the agreed-upon location.

On the way, Jing Tian kept looking out the window and suddenly spoke.

"Senior brother."

"Um?"

"Thank you."

Xu Ying turned to look at her. "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for spending time with me." Jing Tian turned her head, her eyes shining. "I'm very happy today."

Xu Ying reached out and took her hand. "Silly girl."
