Chapter Sixty-Five: Song Lyrics

  At the end of the program, Ning's aunt's dish was indeed rated as the most creative dish and she got a microwave oven as a prize.

  Bingning hailed a taxi for his grandma and mom, sent them off, then hailed another one for himself. He arrived at the school gate, got out of the car, and slowly walked in.

  A couple walked by, hand in hand, while Ning Qing's lonely figure cast a long shadow on the ground. The shadow stretched out, with a hint of desolation, as if something was missing in her heart. The gentle night breeze stirred up distant memories, and she couldn't help but fear the starry night, afraid to be alone again under the meteor shower.

  Arrived at the dormitory building, the mobile phone rang, Ning's mother said on the other end: "Have you arrived at school?"

  Ning Qing smiled and said, "I've arrived." Her phone rang with her grandmother's voice saying, "Xiao Min, I had Xiao Yu help me read the microwave instructions. It turns out you can also use it to roast sweet potatoes. They smell so good and cook quickly too."

  Ning Qingmin was about to speak when the phone switched to Zhang Yu's voice, "Boss, your mother-in-law is so fierce! She actually won back a microwave oven. Fortunately, you said last time that we wanted to buy a microwave oven, and we haven't had time to go shopping yet. If we had bought it, it would have been a waste."

  "Yes, grandma is quite happy." Ning Qingming said with a smile, and then heard Ning's mother's voice beside Zhang Yu saying: "Ruilian, the mung bean soup you cooked this afternoon, can you help me heat it up in the microwave too? With this, it will be more convenient."

  "Boss, they're all trying out that microwave like kids!" Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Moved into a new house, good things come in pairs!"

  Ning Qingmin smiled and put away the rope, just about to go up to the dormitory building, when someone on the other side called out to her softly. Following the sound, she saw Xiao Yesi holding a magazine in his hand, leaning against a big tree under the dormitory building, smiling at her, so she had no choice but to walk over.

  "How did you end up here? No wonder I just saw several girls walking by and frequently turning their heads. Fortunately, you're holding a magazine to cover your face, or else they would have pounced on you once they confirmed it was you." Ning Qing saw Xiao Ye Sheng holding the magazine with an air of mystery, half covering his face, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

  Xiao Ye Sheng saw Ning Qing walking towards him and smiled, saying: "I've been waiting for you to come back!"

  "Why don't we go back to our dorm and wait? How long have you been standing here?"

  "I've just stood for a few minutes. It's always someone staring at me. I feel like I've been standing for a long time."

  Ning Qing smiled and said: "Now many people know you. You stand here. They don't dare to recognize you for the time being. But they think it might be you, of course, they will take a look."

  "It's just that being famous has its downsides. Can't move around freely like before. It's a bit restrictive." Xiao Yesi looked around and fortunately, it was late and there were no more people moving about downstairs.

  "Are you here for the lyrics?" Ning Qingming smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll help you write another song. I will work hard."

  Xiao Ye Sheng didn't speak. He just looked at Ning Qing's outfit. A white short-sleeved T-shirt with a small collar, with a silver powder-dyed flower on the chest and sleeves. A pair of light blue pencil jeans that only reached his ankles. Fresh and full of youthful vitality. It was no longer the Ning Qingmin who first danced with him at the beginning of last semester.

  "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Ning Qingming was stared at by Xiao Yesen, felt a chill in his heart, checked his body, found nothing wrong, and asked while smoothing his hair.

  "Qing Min, you've changed so quickly!" Xiao Ye Sheng exclaimed, "This semester, I feel like you're becoming more and more radiant, every other day I see you, I can sense the changes in you."

  "Oh, many people say that!" Ning Qingming changed the subject and said: "Aren't you going to show me the play? Did you bring it?"

  Xiao Ye Sheng nodded and pulled out a few photos from the stack of magazines.

  "Wow, you look really handsome in that silver armor!" Ning Qing said with a glance at the photo, blinking and saying: "Why isn't there a eunuch costume photo?"

  "That doesn't look good, I didn't bring it!" Xiao Yesen opened the magazine and let Ning Qingming put the stills in the middle of the magazine. He closed the magazine and said: "Let me tell you about the plot of the TV series."

  However, the weak country allied with the powerful country and sent its princess to be a concubine in the palace of the powerful country. The silver-armored general who deeply loved the princess used every means to buy off people from all sides, disguising himself as the princess's eunuch, following her into the palace of the powerful country. The princess cleverly refused the emperor's favor, but instead piqued his interest, causing dissatisfaction among other concubines in the harem who plotted against her. The wise and mighty emperor of the powerful country uncovered the concubine who framed the princess with just a few moves. After this incident, the princess also developed feelings for the emperor.

  When the princess and the emperor were in love, the relationship between the two countries changed. The emperor was forced by pressure to imprison the princess in a cold palace. The silver armor general, disguised as a small eunuch, accompanied her into the cold palace, silently guarding the princess, hiding his love in his heart, striving to help the princess regain the emperor's favor. However, the princess had already lost hope and asked the young general to take her out of the palace to escape.

  Escaping halfway, the two were caught up by the Emperor. The young general fought hard against the palace's top masters, but was ultimately no match and was beaten into a severe injury. The Emperor had already learned of the young general's true identity, looked deeply at the princess, pointed at the young general, and calmly said to the princess: "You kill him with your own hands, and follow me back to the palace." As he spoke, he took a sword from a guard's hand and tossed it to the princess.

  The princess picked up her sword and slowly walked in front of the young general, slowly raising her hand...

  "Could the princess really kill the young general?" Ning Qing said discontentedly after hearing the plot: "You directors are so evil, did you only let us see the script up to this point? It's probably a castrated script."

  "Haha...", Xiao Ye Sheng laughed loudly, "If you were the screenwriter, would you have the princess kill the young general?"

  "No! I'll make the princess turn around abruptly, thrust her sword at the Emperor, and drag the young general to continue fleeing. Or thrust a dagger into herself, and die with the young general." Ning Qing smiled bitterly, "Only, both methods are tragedies."

  "The plot may have a dramatic turn. Xiaoye Sheng smiled at Ning Qingmian, "The director has slightly revealed that the ending won't be a tragedy!"

  "It's not a tragedy, I just fear the ending of a tragedy!" Ning Qing let out a soft sigh. Would the princess stab him or not? The Silver Armor General was only the second male lead, and wouldn't be the main protagonist. So whether she stabbed him or not, their love would inevitably come to an end, and his deep affection would be in vain, even if it wasn't a tragic ending, but the Silver Armor General was still a tragic figure.

  Xiao Ye Sheng sighed at the role Ning Qing played for himself, looked at Ning Qing with rapt attention, and suddenly flipped out another photo from the magazine, saying softly: "The one wearing a eunuch costume, I actually brought one."

  Ning Qingmian took a glance, under the bleak moonlight, a slender and delicate eunuch in crimson grey clothes slightly raised his head, his eyes dazedly gazing at a distant corner of the palace.

  "Silver armor changed into a dark gray robe, beauty secretly transformed, moonlight like madness." Ning Qingming said after seeing the drama photo.

  "This is great!" Xiao Yes shouted with excitement, "Qingmian, I told you your lyrics are good."

  Wiping sweat, due to my limited ability, the original song lyrics written by Qingmin may be very ordinary, but in order to match the plot, even if it's ordinary, it can still make Xiao Yesi exclaim and cover his face.
