Chapter 63: The Rebellious Sixth Princess (Seeking Collections and Recommendations)

Evening. The sun set in the west.

The once scorching sun turned a brilliant gold, as if plating the earth with a layer of gold leaf.

Xing Tianyu slung a small bag over her shoulder, standing by the roadside, waiting for Qi Hui.

Actually, her family had a car, and she had a license too, but she couldn't drive.

She had tried driving once, but always ended up in a frantic mess.

Turn on the wipers, stomp the gas by mistake, cover her face and scream, can't find the brake.

Crash!

Luckily she hadn't hit anyone at the time—just the front of the car was wrecked.

It was just a car; she didn't really care. If it was broken, then it was broken. But from then on, she never dared to drive again.

As her thoughts wandered, a black BMW pulled up and slowly stopped in front of her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Qi Hui's rugged, gaunt face.

He was a bit tanned, and somewhat haggard, but the faint stubble on his face actually made him look more mature and charming than before… Xing Tianyu's eyes lit up slightly.

"Junior sister, long time no see." Qi Hui chuckled lightly.

It's not that he, Qi, valued romance over friendship… Qi Hui had looked for Xiao Zhang, looked for Old Ling, but those two didn't have time, did they?

He could only look for Xing Tianyu.

"Senior brother…" A sweet smile appeared on her face. Xing Tianyu hurried onto the car and sat in the passenger seat.

This car wasn't Qi Hui's—just like last time, it was still rented.

"Is there anywhere you want to go have fun?" Qi Hui smiled. "Today your senior brother's treating. Don't hold back."

"Um…" Xing Tianyu thought for a moment. "No, you decide, senior brother."

Hearing that, Qi Hui stroked his chin and said, "Then let's eat first, then go see a movie. How about it?"

"If there's still time after the movie, how about we go to Happy Valley for a bit?"

Happy Valley is where Black Panther Lu Zhenhua works… ahem, where the actor Kou Zhenhua cosplays as Lu Zhenhua.

That place, although not completely finished, had been open to the public for a long time.

"Sure, let's go." Xing Tianyu nodded, having no objections whatsoever to Qi Hui's arrangements.

"No rush, I have a gift for you." Qi Hui smiled, taking out a brocade box the size of a palm and handing it over.

"What's this?" Xing Tianyu asked, surprised. She took it, opened it, and found a jade pendant two fingers wide, with a warm, smooth feel.

Many rose patterns were carved into the jade pendant, looking exquisitely beautiful.

"Wow! So pretty, so beautiful, this is…" Xing Tianyu was surprised—this was a piece of Hetian jade, somewhat valuable.

"I carved it myself." Qi Hui smiled. "I know a bit of craftsmanship."

He had a jade carving and crafting skill, which he'd gotten from Chi Shuai.

Although it wasn't much use for acting, it did come in handy in other places.

The jade material itself wasn't expensive—even Hetian jade was like that. Jade pieces were expensive because of the carving and craftsmanship.

Jade uncarved cannot become a vessel—nothing more, nothing less.

"Oh, oh." Xing Tianyu suddenly understood, her smile growing sweeter. "Thank you, senior brother. I'll take it then."

This gift was very meaningful; she liked it a lot.

"Then let's go." Qi Hui smiled, raising his hand to shift gears.

"I have a gift for you too." Xing Tianyu said, rummaging through her bag and pulling out a square box.

On the box was a white apple logo, with a bite taken out of it.

"iPhone 4, smartphone." Xing Tianyu smiled. "I have one too, white. Yours is black."

Qi Hui was a bit surprised—this thing had only been out for a short while, and it wasn't cheap.

"Here, for you." Xing Tianyu handed it to Qi Hui. "I've already saved my number in it."

Now he really was being kept by a rich woman… Qi Hui sighed. "Thank you, junior sister. I'll take it."

"Mm-hmm…" Xing Tianyu nodded repeatedly, watching Qi Hui accept it, seeming very happy.

"Let's go, let's go eat." Xing Tianyu smiled. "Later I'll teach you how to use it."

"This phone is different from regular phones—it only has one button, but you'll get the hang of it after using it a bit."

"Sure…" Qi Hui chuckled, started the car, and didn't refuse.

How could he possibly not know how to use an iPhone 4? Back in high school before his transmigration, some rich kid in his class had brought one to show off.

The iPhone in hand attracted every boy and girl in the class, drawing countless gasps of admiration.

Watching the rich kid be the center of attention, Qi Hui would be lying to say he wasn't envious, but his family wasn't well off, and he didn't make a fuss demanding they buy him one—just silently envious.

As for selling a kidney… he wasn't that stupid.

The things a youth cannot obtain will plague him for life. When Qi Hui got his first paycheck, the first thing he bought was this very phone.

Although by then there were already phones on the market countless times better than it, he still bought an iPhone 4, treating it as a collectible.

But after that, Qi Hui never bought another iPhone—he preferred Android phones.

The reason was none other than—you could get spicy content on them…

The car started. Qi Hui had originally wanted to find a Western restaurant, but Xing Tianyu vetoed it.

In the end, under Xing Tianyu's guidance, the two of them arrived at a hotpot restaurant.

He and Xing Tianyu ate hotpot and played with their phones, and then suddenly… there was no suddenly.

Xing Tianyu sat beside Qi Hui, eager to play teacher, patiently teaching him how to use the iPhone 4 bit by bit.

Qi Hui quietly watched the eager-to-teach Xing Tianyu, finding it quite amusing.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xing Tianyu instinctively tucked a strand of hair by her temple, a hint of shyness appearing on her face, feeling a bit self-conscious under Qi Hui's gaze.

"You're good-looking." Qi Hui said it outright; he had never really known how to say sweet nothings.

Jing Tian only felt her ears burning. Thinking back to the recent argument between her and Qi Hui over vernacular Chinese, she felt a surge of embarrassment.

"Ahem… have you eaten enough?" Jing Tian quickly said. "If you're done, let's go watch a movie."

"It's getting late."

"Sure." Qi Hui chuckled lightly and agreed.

The two left the hotpot restaurant and started the car.

"But… what movie should we watch?" Qi Hui asked.

The movies currently in theaters were pretty good—Jiang Wen's *Let the Bullets Fly*, Feng Xiaogang's *Aftershock*, and from Hollywood, *Inception*, the first 3D movie *Avatar*, and so on—all decent films.

But… he didn't really feel like watching any of them.

Mainly because they'd both already seen them. Not long ago, Jing Tian had even pulled up clips on QQ with him to discuss the actors' performances.

"Mm… let's go, we're heading back to school." Jing Tian thought for a moment, then suddenly said.

"Huh?" Qi Hui's eyes went wide, puzzled.

"You forgot, our school has the Little Black Room." Jing Tian said with a smile, her big eyes curving into crescents, speaking very happily:

"They often screen some films that aren't released domestically in there."

Hearing this, Qi Hui suddenly understood. It was a multimedia classroom at Beijing Film Academy that often played films that hadn't passed censorship; it was pitch-black inside, hence the nickname Little Black Room.

Of course, the "not passing censorship" here didn't refer to those banned films or erotic films, but rather films that hadn't obtained the Dragon Label.

After all, it was an educational facility for students, so naturally it couldn't do that sort of thing.

For example, *Independence Day*, *300*, or *I Am Legend*, and so on.

Some were because they excessively promoted the ideology of America saving the world, some because of blood and gore, and some were disaster or horror films with strict censorship.

Of course, not being released in theaters doesn't mean you can't see them—for instance… Princess Six.

This young lady had always been rebellious; even if some films didn't have the Dragon Label, she dared to broadcast them, and the uncut versions at that.

Before his transmigration, when Qi Hui didn't have a phone or computer, he had watched quite a few "benefits" through Princess Six.

For example, the film *Love and Other Drugs* starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway—it was full of benefits, Anne Hathaway's 34D was, uh, nice to look at… ahem, never mind.

He'd savor it later; for now, he'd better focus on Jing Tian.

Qi Hui drove back to Beijing Film Academy. The two walked to the Little Black Room and found the bulletin board displaying: the movie *Lurk*.

"Uh… *Lurk* got a movie version?" Jing Tian said in surprise, instinctively turning to look at Qi Hui and asking.

Qi Hui was an actor in *Lurk*.

"Not the TV series, the movie." Qi Hui rubbed his chin and explained: "A horror film."

"If I remember correctly, it should be by the same director as *Saw*."
