Chapter 241:
Xie Jingyan was wearing a gray long coat, with a black shirt inside, making him look tall and noble.
He waved to Jiang Ning: “Come here.”
Jiang Ning just stared blankly at his head.
His black hair, which used to reach his eyebrows, was completely gone.
He had shaved a super short buzz cut close to the scalp.
It was clearly a hairstyle with no image at all.
Yet his appearance managed to pull off this hairstyle.
It wasn’t ugly at all; instead, it added a bit of ruggedness, making his superior features even more prominent.
He uncomfortably touched his head. Having lived for twenty-eight years, this was his first time cutting his hair like this.
He coughed lightly: “It’s just a new hairstyle, and you’re stunned?”
Jiang Ning looked at his face and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, pointing at Xie Jingyan’s head and laughing: “Xie Jingyan, you look so ugly. Why did you shave this kind of hair? It doesn’t look good at all.”
Xie Jingyan: “It’s fine if I look a bit ugly, as long as you’re pretty.”
“Hahaha…” Jiang Ning laughed and wiped her eyes, which had tears on them. She sniffled: “It’s all your fault. You made me laugh until tears came out.”
“I even put on makeup today.”
Xie Jingyan handed her some tissue: “Stop laughing, you look ugly.”
Jiang Ning glared at him with red eyes.
She turned her head away and stopped looking at him.
“Have you eaten?” Xie Jingyan asked.
Jiang Ning’s voice was a bit muffled: “No.”
“Beef noodles then?”
“Mm.”
Xie Jingyan drove the car to the front of the beef noodle restaurant.
It was late morning approaching noon.
The noodle shop’s business was very good.
They managed to sit at the last available table.
Xie Jingyan ordered the noodles and took two movie tickets out of his pocket: “After we eat, we’ll hurry over. The movie is just starting.”
Jiang Ning glanced at the movie title; it was a comedy.
Xie Jingyan’s outfit was quite eye-catching.
Especially his hair—everyone passing by had to look twice.
They were probably wondering why such a handsome young man would get this kind of haircut.
Jiang Ning buried her head in eating the noodles, while Xie Jingyan picked all the beef from his bowl into Jiang Ning’s.
“Eat more, Ning Ning.”
Jiang Ning’s nose sounded stuffy: “Mm.”
Approaching twelve o’clock.
Xie Jingyan took Jiang Ning to the movie theater.
They were a bit late because of traffic on the road.
Jiang Ning pulled Xie Jingyan’s hand and ran forward.
The cold wind blew their coats, with the hems seeming to entwine together. Someone was recording a video and captured this exact moment.
The girl’s face was flushed from running.
The boy behind followed the girl’s steps, his gaze gentle.
The video blogger looked up and immediately edited this scene with music and posted it online.
Caption.
#They must be deeply in love to be so in sync#
As soon as the video was posted, people started commenting and liking it.
Many people left messages.
[So happy]
[God, give me a boyfriend like this!]
[Oh my god, the love in this guy’s eyes is overflowing.]
[Blogger, can you film their front faces? Their side profiles have such high appearance value; the front views would be killer!]
[Happiness personified, while I’m still crawling in bed. I hate it!]
The video’s virality didn’t affect Jiang Ning pulling Xie Jingyan to catch the last minute of the movie’s start.
She gripped Xie Jingyan’s hand tightly; even though it was hot and sweaty, she didn’t notice. After ticket check, she breathed a sigh of relief: “Good thing we didn’t miss it.”
Xie Jingyan lowered his gaze, looking at Jiang Ning’s fair and tender fingers.
Jiang Ning then noticed and quickly let go.
The next second, Xie Jingyan gripped her hand firmly again: “Hurry up.”
Jiang Ning’s lips curved up slightly as she relaxed and walked beside Xie Jingyan.
The movie ended at two in the afternoon.
Jiang Ning looked incredulously at the comedy label above.
The movie’s ending nearly stabbed her to death!
In the story, the female lead had a serious illness. The male lead was the last remaining deity in the world. He just needed to fulfill one person’s wish to complete his merit and successfully ascend.
He met the female lead.
He heard the female lead’s wish.
The female lead said she wanted to eat properly.
The male lead thought this wish was simple, so he bound himself to her.
But he discovered how difficult it was for the female lead to eat properly. She had terminal illness and couldn’t eat anything anymore.
The male lead didn’t believe that just a terminal illness could make someone unable to eat.
To complete the last wish as soon as possible, he transformed into an ordinary person and gave himself the identity of a chef.
He cooked various dishes for the female lead.
As long as she could eat one dish he fried, he could complete his merit and leave.
The interactions between the male and female leads during this time were very funny, with lots of laugh points.
No matter how delicious the male lead’s dishes were, the female lead would vomit after three bites.
Later, the male lead looked into the female lead’s illness and learned she had only one month left.
During this time together, he realized he had fallen for this resilient girl.
If he couldn’t complete the wish, he would become a fallen god.
But compared to becoming a fallen god, the male lead was more afraid of the female lead dying.
Life lasts a hundred years, but this girl was only twenty-two.
The day before the female lead was about to die.
The male lead woke from his sleep.
He found his merit was full.
His body was glowing with golden light.
The female lead, not far away, had eaten all the dishes he fried clean.
She covered her mouth to keep the food from coming up. Because she forced it so hard, her stomach bled severely.
Even breathing became difficult.
In her final moments, the girl grabbed the male lead’s hand and said to him: “Actually, I knew your purpose and your identity. Thank you for taking such good care of me in this last month before I died, and congratulations, you can become a true god now.”
After the female lead finished speaking, she passed away.
The male lead couldn’t accept the female lead’s death, so he made a transaction with the divine realm.
He used all his merit to exchange for the female lead being able to eat properly.
The price was that he would take her place and bear all the pain.
Time reversed.
The male lead lost his divine position and became an ordinary person.
He contracted the illness that originally belonged to the female lead.
While the female lead lost all memory and sold fried rice outside the hospital to make a living.
The story’s ending.
From the female lead’s perspective.
She met a very strange person.
Who came to her stall every day to buy a box of fried rice but never ate it.
Autumn passed and winter came.
The female lead had gotten used to preparing an extra box of fried rice waiting for him.
But she never saw that figure again.
Jiang Ning felt upset for half a day because of this ending.
Pointing at Xie Jingyan and muttering: “This is the comedy you picked? This is definitely not a tragedy? They were so happy; they should have been together happily.”
Xie Jingyan listened beside her and nodded obediently: “I also think they should be together happily, but she got sick. The male lead would save her without hesitation, even at the cost of his life.”
Jiang Ning felt inexplicably upset inside.
Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind about something.
She pulled Xie Jingyan’s hand and walked outside.
Xie Jingyan looked puzzled at the excited her: “Where are we going? The next activity should be the amusement park.”
“Forget the amusement park! Let’s go to a hotel and sleep!”
