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

~8 min read 1,547 words

Evening, the sun sets in the west.

The once scorching sun has turned golden, as if plating the earth in a layer of gold leaf.

Jing Tian carries her small bag, standing by the roadside, waiting for Qi Hui.

Actually, her family has a car, and she has a license, but she doesn't know how to drive.

She drove once, but was always flustered.

Once the wipers were on, she stepped on the gas by mistake, covered her face and screamed, unable to find the brake.

Crash!

Fortunately, she didn't hit anyone at the time; only the front of the car was damaged.

It was just a car, so she didn't care; if it was broken, it was broken, but she never dared to drive again after that.

While she was lost in thought, a black BMW drove over and slowly stopped in front of her.

The window rolled down, revealing Qi Hui’s rugged and lean face.

He was a bit tanned and looked somewhat haggard, but the faint stubble on his face made him look more mature and charming than before... Jing Tian’s eyes brightened slightly.

"Junior Sister, long time no see." Qi Hui chuckled.

It wasn't that he, Qi, favored romance over friendship... Qi Hui had looked for Zhang Ruoyun and Ling Xiaosu, but didn't they lack the time?

He could only look for Jing Tian.

"Senior Brother..." A sweet smile appeared on her face as Jing Tian quickly got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.

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

"Is there anywhere you want to go?" Qi Hui smiled: "Today, I'm treating, so don't be polite."

"Hmm..." Jing Tian thought for a moment: "No, you decide, Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Qi Hui rubbed his chin and said: "Then let's eat first, and then how about catching a movie?"

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

Happy Valley is where the Black Leopard Lu Zhenhua works... ahem, that is, the place where the actor Kou Zhenhai cosplayed as Lu Zhenhua.

Although that place wasn't fully completed yet, it had been open for a long time.

"Okay, let's go." Jing Tian nodded, having no objections to Qi Hui’s arrangements.

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

"What is this?" Jing Tian asked in surprise, taking it and opening it to find a two-finger-wide jade pendant, warm to the touch.

The jade pendant was carved with many rose patterns and looked breathtakingly beautiful.

"Wow! It's so pretty, so beautiful, this is..." Jing Tian was surprised; this was Hetian jade, which was quite precious.

"I carved it myself." Qi Hui smiled: "I know a bit of the craft."

He had a skill for jade carving and production, which he had brushed from Chi Shuai.

Although it was of no use for acting, it was still somewhat useful elsewhere.

The jade material wasn't expensive, even for Hetian jade; jade pieces are expensive because of the carving and production.

If jade is not carved, it cannot become a vessel; that is exactly the case.

"Oh, I see." Jing Tian realized, her smile becoming a bit sweeter: "Thank you, Senior Brother, I'll accept it."

This gift was very meaningful, and she liked it very much.

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

"I have a gift for you too." Jing Tian said, digging a square box out of her bag.

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

"iPhone 4, a smartphone." Jing Tian smiled: "I have one too, white, yours is black."

Qi Hui was a bit surprised; this thing hadn't been out long, and it wasn't cheap.

"Here, for you." Jing Tian handed it to Qi Hui: "I've already saved my number in it."

So I've really been kept by a rich girl... Qi Hui sighed: "Thank you, Junior Sister, I'll accept it."

"Mm-hmm..." Jing Tian nodded repeatedly, watching Qi Hui accept it, looking very happy.

"Let's go, let's go eat." Jing Tian smiled: "I'll teach you how to use it later."

"This phone is different from regular phones; it only has one button, but you'll understand after using it a bit."

"Alright..." Qi Hui chuckled and started the car, not refusing.

How could he not know how to use an iPhone 4? In high school before he transmigrated, there was a rich kid in class who used this thing to show off.

With an Apple in hand, he attracted all the male and female students in the class, drawing countless gasps of admiration.

Watching the rich kid in the spotlight, it would be a lie to say Qi Hui wasn't envious, but his family situation wasn't good, and he didn't make a scene asking his family to buy him one; he just silently envied him.

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

Things one cannot obtain in youth will haunt one for a lifetime; when Qi Hui received his first paycheck, the first thing he bought was this phone.

Although there were countless phones better than this on the market at the time, he still bought an iPhone 4, just for the sake of collecting it.

But since then, Qi Hui hadn't bought another Apple; he preferred Android phones.

The reason was simple: they were better for "lewd" content...

The car started, and Qi Hui originally wanted to find a Western restaurant, but was vetoed by Jing Tian.

Finally, led by Jing Tian, the two arrived at a hot pot restaurant.

He and Jing Tian were eating hot pot and playing with their phones, when suddenly... there was no suddenly.

Jing Tian sat beside Qi Hui, acting like a teacher, teaching Qi Hui bit by bit how to use the iPhone 4.

Qi Hui watched Jing Tian, who was enjoying her role as a teacher, and found it interesting.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jing Tian subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear, a hint of shyness appearing on her face, feeling a bit uncomfortable under Qi Hui’s gaze.

"You're pretty." Qi Hui said bluntly; he had never been good at sweet talk.

Jing Tian felt her ears burning; thinking of the recent debate between her and Qi Hui about vernacular literature, she felt a surge of shyness.

"Ahem... are you done eating?" Jing Tian quickly said: "If you're done, let's go see a movie."

"It's getting late."

"Alright." Qi Hui chuckled and agreed.

The two left the hot pot restaurant and started the car.

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

The movies currently showing were quite good: Jiang Wen’s *Let the Bullets Fly*, Feng Xiaogang’s *Aftershock*, as well as Hollywood’s *Inception*, the first 3D movie *Avatar*, and so on; they were all good films.

However... it felt like there was nothing worth watching.

Mainly because both of them had already seen them; a while ago, Jing Tian had even analyzed films with him on QQ, discussing the actors' performances.

"Hmm... let's go, let's go back to school." Jing Tian thought for a moment and suddenly said.

"Huh?" Qi Hui widened his eyes, puzzled.

"Did you forget? Our school has the 'Little Black Room'." Jing Tian smiled, her large eyes curving into crescents, saying very happily:

"They often show films there that aren't released domestically."

Hearing this, Qi Hui realized; that was a multimedia classroom at the Beijing Film Academy that often showed films that hadn't passed censorship; it was dark, hence the nickname "Little Black Room."

Of course, "not passed censorship" here didn't refer to banned films or lewd films, but rather films that hadn't obtained a Dragon Seal.

After all, it was an educational facility for students, so it naturally wouldn't show those.

For example, *Independence Day*, *300*, or *I Am Legend*, etc.

Some were because they overly promoted American-centric ideologies of saving the world, some were because of gore and violence, and some were disaster or horror films that had strict censorship.

Of course, not being released didn't mean you couldn't see them, for instance... the Sixth Princess.

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

Before he transmigrated, when Qi Hui didn't have a phone or computer, he watched quite a few "benefits" through the Sixth Princess.

For example, *Love & Other Drugs* starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway; it was full of benefits, Anne Hathaway’s 34D was... nice... ahem, never mind.

He would savor it later; for now, he should focus on Jing Tian.

Qi Hui drove back to the Beijing Film Academy, and the two walked to the Little Black Room, finding the information on the bulletin board read: the movie *Insidious*.

"Uh... is there a movie version of *Insidious*?" Jing Tian asked in surprise, subconsciously looking at Qi Hui.

Qi Hui was an actor in *Insidious*.

"It's not the TV series, it's a movie." Qi Hui rubbed his chin and explained: "A horror movie."

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