Chapter 60: 059: Changling Enters a Dream, An Absurd Dream (Second Update)
Zeng Zhili went in, and the charge was extortion. Officer Xiao Zhong, who was responsible for mediating the case last time, told Wen Changling about it.
During a walk, Wen Changling asked about the matter.
“When did he try to extort you?”
Xie Shang said, “During that one hour you were asleep at my place.”
As soon as Zeng Zhili saw him, he started demanding money, so Xie Shang baited him a little. Zeng Zhili took the bait readily, and after learning about Xie Shang’s relationship with Marlon Group, he indeed increased the amount by a hundredfold.
For Xie Shang, getting a greedy and ignorant layman about the law to spend a few more years behind bars was a piece of cake.
“Did you plan to handle it this way from the start?”
Efficient and doesn’t dirty the hands.
Xie Shang, a man who values cleanliness, doesn’t like to dirty his hands and nodded, “Mhm, I am a very law-abiding person.”
Wen Changling didn’t respond.
She felt that Xie Shang was not a very law-abiding person, but rather a person who knew the law well. Because he knew it well, he played it to his advantage.
“Are you free tomorrow night?”
“Yes.”
Wen Changling had worked the night shift the previous evening, and she had both today and tomorrow off.
Xie Shang invited her, “Let’s go contribute to Madam Su’s box office earnings together.”
Su Nanzhi’s movie had been released.
Before going to the cinema, Wen Changling did her homework online, finding out that the movie’s male lead was Liang Shuchuan, an actor with real talent. Wen Changling also came across fan-made videos shipping Su Nanzhi and Liang Shuchuan together. The comments said they were childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately, Liang Shuchuan was born a few years too late.
The tickets were booked for the eight-thirty show, and the cinema was crowded.
Xie Shang went to collect the tickets, and Wen Changling went to the restroom. Coming out after washing her hands, she saw a girl talking to Xie Shang near the popcorn machine. Wen Changling couldn’t hear exactly what was said, but it wasn’t hard to guess; the girl’s emotions were written all over her face.
Wen Changling stopped and didn’t approach further, waiting for them to finish talking.
After being rejected, the girl left in disappointment.
Xie Shang had seen Wen Changling earlier. She looked quite leisurely, playing eye-to-eye with a baby held by its parent next to her, intrigued by the bubbles the baby was blowing.
“Changling.”
Only then did Wen Changling come over.
Xie Shang handed her the popcorn, “Why didn’t you come over just now?”
Wen Changling held a large bucket of popcorn, only half her face showing. The bucket was full, and she could easily eat from it by leaning forward, “That lady was talking to you.”
Interrupting others is impolite.
“She was asking for my WeChat.”
Wen Changling wasn’t surprised in the least, “I could tell.”
Xie Shang remarked, “Then you’re quite generous.”
What else was she to do? Pull her hair out?
Wen Changling touched her own bangs. Pulling hair wasn’t an option; she had sprayed a lot of water before leaving home to forcibly tame her too-short bangs.
There were still twenty minutes until the movie started, and Wen Changling found a place to sit. Xie Shang bought a bottle of water and a hot drink—the hot drink was for her.
She ate, drank, and waited. The drink was a bit hot, so she took off her jacket and draped it over the chair.
Xie Shang called to her, “Wen Changling.”
It had been a long time since he used her full name.
Wen Changling looked at Xie Shang with confusion.
Her hand got sticky from the popcorn’s sugar, and Xie Shang put a clean handkerchief next to her hand, “Next time something like that happens, you should come over and tell people I’m not single.” To Xie Shang, this was an expression of commitment.
There weren’t many people around him who were in serious relationships—He Dongzhou was one, and his uncle Su Beihe was another. He Dongzhou kept his girlfriend very private, not providing much reference, so the only example Xie Shang could think of was Su Beihe.
If Ning Song chatted with someone else for too long, Su Beihe could give him the cold shoulder for a day.
“Can’t you handle it yourself?” Wen Changling was not like others; she had her own set of theories, “I think men should be self-aware.”
Xie Shang was silent for a few seconds.
He couldn’t win against her.
“Alright.”
He conceded, leaving it to her, the VIP guest.
While waiting to have their tickets checked, Wen Changling received a call from Jiahui.
“Changling, are you going to watch a movie tomorrow?”
“What movie?”
Jiahui said, “3913.”
Unfortunately.
The movie starring Su Nanzhi and Liang Shuchuan was 3913.
Wen Changling said, “I’m already watching it.”
Jiahui immediately asked, “With whom? By yourself?”
Wen Changling was a person with no social life and did not particularly enjoy movies; unless someone else invited her, she wouldn’t step foot in a cinema even once a year.
She glanced at Xie Shang and answered, “With a neighbor.”
Jiahui reacted like lightning: “Xie Shang?!”
Wen Changling covered the mouthpiece, not wanting to be overheard by Xie Shang.
Jiahui was indeed excited: “Sis, that’s some rapid progress.”
Jiahui still didn’t know that Wen Changling and Xie Shang were dating. Aside from Granny Zhu, Wen Changling hadn’t told anyone.
It was already 8:20, and the ticket checker lifted the barrier rope for the aisle. Wen Changling said to Jiahui, “The movie is about to start.”
“Go on, go on, in the darkness, make the most of it.”
Jiahui was even more eager to hang up than Wen Changling was.
Wen Changling picked up her food and drink. “Let’s go get our tickets checked.”
Xie Shang took the things from her hand: “It’s cold inside; put on your clothes.”
The theater was almost full.
During the opening credits, Xie Shang said something, but Wen Changling was intently listening to a discussion from two seats away.
Two girls were talking about Xie Shang.
The sound from the cinema’s speakers was very loud, and Wen Changling couldn’t make out what Xie Shang said.
He leaned in closer, “Shouldn’t you change how you address me now?”
Change the address?
Wen Changling thought for a moment and looked at Xie Shang uncertainly, “Star?”
Xie Shang was taken aback for a moment.
“I mean, neighbor.”
Wen Changling: “Oh.”

She continued listening to the people two seats away discussing Xie Shang, not noticing that his gaze was still on her.
The temperature in the theater wasn’t as low as he had thought; on the contrary, it was somewhat hot. People in the front row kept talking, and Xie Shang was getting a little irritated. He unscrewed the bottle and took a couple of sips of water.
Xie Shang hadn’t gotten into the first fifteen minutes of the movie.
3913 was a suspense film, narrating the real-life murders of a person suffering from schizophrenia. The protagonist had schizophrenia and ended up being sentenced to kill his alter ego, with the case number 3913.
“I won.”
That was the end of the movie.
Liang Shuchuan’s line delivery was superb. With just one line, he maxed out the suspense cycle and sent shivers down the spine.
On the last day of May, Xie Shang didn’t sleep well and had a ridiculous, illogical dream. In it, he turned into a star-shaped magic carpet, with Wen Changling sitting on top of him, holding a broom and dressed like a witch.
The witch ordered the magic carpet, “Star, hurry up and run, take me to see the stars.”
Sitting on top of him, to see other stars.
Xie Shang woke up in a bad mood that morning.
Today was Children’s Day.
At 8:07 in the morning, Gu Yihuan would most likely still be in the arms of Morpheus, but today he was not only awake but also excited as if he had downed several vials of vitality serum, bombarding WeChat with messages.
Valley Mouth Singing God: [Fourth Bro, there’s!! BIG!! GOOD!! NEWS!! Tonight at seven, come to Aoting!]
After sending it to Xie Shang, Gu Yihuan copied the text.
He pasted it to Gu Kaiyun, without changing a word.
Valley Mouth Singing God: [Fourth Bro, there’s!! BIG!! GOOD!! NEWS!! Tonight at seven, come to Aoting!]
He pasted it to He Dongzhou.
Valley Mouth Singing God: [Fourth Bro, there’s!! BIG!! GOOD!! NEWS!! Tonight at seven, come to Aoting!]
He pasted it to Guan Sixing.
Valley Mouth Singing God: [Fourth Bro, there’s!! BIG!! GOOD!! NEWS!! Tonight at seven, come to Aoting!]
He then pasted it to a whole bunch of other fair-weather friends.
He Dongzhou was the first to reply: [Could you at least change the address when copying and pasting?]
That wasn’t important.
Valley Mouth Singing God: [Are you coming or not?]
He Dongzhou: [Will let you know.]
Valley Mouth Singing God sent two emojis: [Dog head][Dog head]
