Chapter 101
As expected, the internet exploded again. The programmer worked through the night to repair the crashed backend.
[Waking up in shock from a dying dream! Did Summer CP really get married?!]
[Citizens of the capital send their congratulations]
[Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap]
[Ahhhhhhhh I finally saw my dream come true!!!]
[If this is fake, it's too realistic! So, it must be real, right?!]
[I can ship again! Summer is real!]
[The CP I shipped got married, can I go find a partner now?]
[Honestly, if they were contract lovers, then isn't it a case of real love after acting? That sounds even better, oh my god!]
[Damn, the sister in front has a new perspective, fake love turning real is so exciting ahhhhhh!]
[She, the unattainable ice queen; she, passionate and fiery. A contract forced them to work together as a bickering couple. Later, she pinned the woman against the wall, kissed her fiercely, and with red eyes, rasped: How about we try a different kind of contract?]
[Hahaha, I was actually moved by your Mary Sue story, here's a pen for the great god.]
[So when is the wedding! Do we, your thousands of witnesses, need to attend? I can!]
A wedding, of course, isn't something that can be arranged immediately. Ji Fengxue knew this well. While traveling, she took Xia Linxia to visit a top designer to custom-make two handmade wedding dresses, which would take a considerable amount of time.
A month later, the two returned to China after their enjoyable trip, finding their popularity seemed to have increased. As soon as they walked out of the airport, the crowd became agitated. Someone shouted, "Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue, you better be good to each other!"
A burst of laughter followed. Xia Linxia chuckled and turned back to salute the crowd.
“Ahhh! I’m gone, I really want to snatch Teacher Ji’s wife!”
“Be happy!”
“Baby Xia, you can’t be this cute, or you won’t be a strong top!”
Xia Linxia: “…” Fake fans!
Since they had registered their marriage, cohabitation became an issue. Xia Linxia thought that the Xia family was local, while Ji Fengxue's family was not. So, without hesitation, she moved her belongings into Ji Fengxue's home.
The news of their cohabitation also made headlines. Since the announcement of their marriage registration, the outside world had been closely following the couple's movements, as well as Qiu Xingzhou's couple. For a time, these two same-sex couples became the biggest topic. Later, the media captured the four of them going out to dinner.
This dinner was mainly to thank Qiu Xingzhou for his courage in supporting them during such a chaotic situation. Being a "dad" was worth it!
Xia Linxia and Qiu Xingzhou sat aside, drinking and showing off their partners, subtly mocking and openly flaunting, each trying to outdo the other.
Ji Fengxue, meanwhile, discussed the web drama they had been talking about with Duan Yan. Duan Yan said he had agreed to invest. Ji Fengxue had also received another invitation from the director during her contract dispute, and he repeatedly assured her that she was the only one suitable for the role, so she accepted. At the same time, she consulted Duan Yan on several investment projects, wanting to learn from him.
Most of her assets had been invested previously, and the profit margins were not high enough. She needed to earn more money, after all, sleeping with Xia Linxia cost quite a bit!
After several rounds of drinks, the two couples returned home separately. Xia Linxia, happy and having drunk too much, was being attended to by Ji Fengxue, who was washing her face and wiping her body. After a brief moment away, she returned to find Xia Linxia drunkenly lying on the bed, holding her little AI assistant in front of her and talking to it.
Xia Linxia: "Tell me, who is Ji Fengxue!"
Xiao Gu: [Ji Fengxue, female, famous actress, representative works include xxx, xxx]
Xia Linxia: "Wrong! You silly Gu!"
Xiao Gu: [You're calling me names, I'm going to get angry]
Xia Linxia: "Don't be angry, I'm just reminding you to update your information at any time. Listen carefully, Ji Fengxue, she is my wife."
Xiao Gu: [Updated automatically. Ji Fengxue, female, famous actress, is my wife.]
Xia Linxia: "!!!" It's mine!!!"
Xiao Gu: [Updated automatically. Ji Fengxue, female, famous actress, is mine!!!]
“Ahhhhhh!” Xia Linxia’s eyes widened, and she hit Xiao Gu repeatedly. Fortunately, Xiao Gu was made of tough material and didn't feel any pain. Instead, Xia Linxia cried out in pain.
Ji Fengxue found it both funny and amusing.
Xia Linxia turned to look at her, stunned for a few seconds. She didn't expect Ji Fengxue to laugh at her. She turned and kicked out, but her leg was caught. Ji Fengxue leaned over, deciding to make her cry even louder.
The drunken Xia Linxia became even more playful. Not only did she cooperate, unlocking new positions, but she also cried more seductively, her eyes teary as she tilted her head and bit a cherry, murmuring her name: "Ji Fengxue."
Xiao Gu: [It's mine!]
Xia Linxia: "Get lost!!!"
Ji Fengxue: "Pfft."
Ji Fengxue soon joined the crew, but the series only had 16 episodes, so the filming period was not long.
Xia Linxia's previously paused commercial collaborations also resumed. After finishing her scattered announcements, she decided to temporarily stop taking scripts and occasionally visited Ji Fengxue on set. Of course, there was a more important matter – she wanted to plan the wedding herself!
Ji Fengxue did not interfere, letting her have free rein, only offering suggestions occasionally. However, wedding preparations were not simple, nor were they overly complicated, because Xia Yangxuan had already contacted an overseas company. Only some details remained to be arranged.
For example, the invitations. Xia Linxia spent a day finding silhouette images of the two of them and then designed them herself. The cover of the invitation featured their silhouettes, with gilded lettering on both sides: Summer CP.
Then there were the wedding favors. Xia Linxia chose their two favorite perfumes, a small box of chocolates, and two candied hawthorns.
There were also the vows. Xia Linxia hoped to add a few more sentences to her vows to better reflect Ji Fengxue's love for her!
Xia Linxia's family and Fang Xingyan were all there to offer suggestions. Xia Yangxuan was responsible for the expenses, Jiang Yuan managed the guest list, and many endorsement partners voluntarily sponsored. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
In the crew, Ji Fengxue felt like a salted fish, as if she didn't have to do anything and just had to wait to be carried to the sedan chair. To this, Xia Linxia said: "You're earning money now, and I'll be the one to spend it. You just stay put and wait for me to marry you— no, marry you!"
Ji Fengxue's smile grew more frequent, making the people in the crew a little scared. What happened to the aloof and unapproachable movie queen? This was a suspense thriller. One moment she would show a terrifying smile in front of the camera, and the next she would smile gently at them, which was quite frightening!
The wedding preparations were in full swing, and another piece of good news arrived. "Wu Yi" was nominated for the Venice Film Festival in September. This was undoubtedly great news for the entire entertainment industry. In recent years, Chinese films had been developing increasingly well and gradually gained a voice in major film festivals, but the number of films winning major awards was still very limited. Regardless of the final outcome, being nominated was a form of recognition.
As a result, "Wu Yi" had already piqued the audience's interest before its official release. The production team seized the opportunity and released the full film during the summer vacation, with box office and critical reception soaring, even surpassing Hollywood blockbusters released in the same period.
[Wuwuwuwu, Lu Wuyi, this woman is truly lovable and hateful.]
[The scene in the rain made my blood boil, my nose bleed!]
[The casting for this film is divine. I never expected Xia Linxia and Qiu Xingzhou to not drag it down! Their progress is rapid! Ji Fengxue, please bring Xia Linxia to more good films like this in the future!]
[Being nominated for the Venice Film Festival, one of the world's three major film festivals, shows the excellence of this film. The actors' performances are on point, the props are realistic, and the post-production is powerful. Although it's a declining wuxia genre, the theme of chivalry and good versus evil is very clear. This is a film that only Chinese people can make!]
[Everyone is amazing! Even the acting of a mere madam crushes countless others! Le Qingyi and Zhao Tinglu, these two newcomers are also good. I've followed them.]
[Oh my god, Lu Wuyi's character is so damn amazing, cold, alluring, and ruthless!]
[I'm afraid the bitch has feelings! The last scene made me cry so much, my dual Lu! It's a pity!]
[It's so heartbreaking. The happier it was at the beginning, the more tragic it was at the end, wuwuwuwu.]
[Worth the ticket price, I'm going for a second viewing right away.]
[It's clearly a comedy ending, but it made my heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys ache! Dual Lu is a be, Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue, you must be a he!]
[Summer CP must, must, must be together!!!]
[I can't anymore, it's so heartbreaking that I went to watch Summer's real life. Damn, Summer is so sweet! I'm shipping even harder, I can ship for a lifetime!]
Many netizens projected the regrets from the film onto reality, increasingly hoping for the happiness of the Summer couple. In September, the main cast and crew of "Wu Yi" traveled to Venice to attend the film festival. Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue walked the red carpet hand in hand. Many foreign media outlets eagerly photographed these two oriental beauties, and it was reported that they were a legal couple, with extensive coverage.
Filmmakers from all over the world gathered, awaiting the final award ceremony. Xia Linxia leaned over and quietly asked, "Do you think I can win Best Actress?"
Ji Fengxue smiled sincerely and held her hand, "Are you dreaming?"
“…” Xia Linxia huffed, “You don’t love me at all anymore.”
Ji Fengxue said, "Stop reading those marketing articles."
“Hmph!” Xia Linxia pulled her hand away, pouting and looking elsewhere. As the camera swept over, their seemingly quarreling image was broadcast. Just as netizens watching the live broadcast were crying out for them not to break up, the host on stage suddenly called Ji Fengxue's name – Best Supporting Actress.
The next second, Xia Linxia was as happy as if she had won the award herself. She stood up first, grinning from ear to ear, and gave Ji Fengxue a big hug, even kissing her cheek heavily.
Ji Fengxue went on stage to accept the award with a lipstick mark on her face.
Xia Linxia clapped her arms until they were sore, excitedly pulling a foreigner next to her, saying with pride: "She's!!!"
Upon returning from Venice, the group's value soared. Even Xia Linxia and Qiu Xingzhou received invitations from many big productions, let alone Ji Fengxue.
During the National Day holiday, Ji Fengxue's leading role in a tribute film was released. For a time, Ji Fengxue's name frequently appeared in the mouths of filmmakers and fans. Just as everyone was speculating about which film she would take next, she invited everyone to attend Xia Linxia's wedding.
The wedding was held in a church in England. Only friends and family were invited, with fewer people from the entertainment industry, but there were directors, actors, and singers. Qiu Xingzhou and Duan Yan sat in the front row, with Le Qingyi sitting behind them, her eyes shining, providing a new avenue for shippers. Song Wanyi and her husband, Fang Qiushuang and her husband, and Xing Baifeng also came.
Following Jiang Yuan's suggestion, the wedding venue collaborated with a live streaming platform. The moment the stream opened, it was like a movie scene. The church was classical and elegant, and the guests were eye-catching. A string orchestra played on the side, and a choir sang, creating a solemn and romantic atmosphere. However, what surprised netizens even more was the officiant! The national husband Xia Yangxuan!
[Xia, Xia Yangxuan?! No way, no way, no way, am I the only one who just realized he and Xia Linxia share the same surname?]
[Help, where's my respirator!]
[Husband, I'm here! When will you bring your hundreds of billions of assets to marry me!]
[So, Xia Linxia and Xia Yangxuan are related? What kind of relationship is it?!]
At this moment, Xia Yangxuan stood on stage and said, "Welcome everyone to the wedding of my sister Xia Linxia and Ji Fengxue."
[I'm out of respirators, give me an electric shock!]
[Sister? My god, is Xia Linxia an invisible super-rich person?]
[As a long-time fan, I'm so shocked I want to eat something to calm down.]
[Since the family is so wealthy, why would Xia Linxia sign a contract relationship with Ji Fengxue? It must be paparazzi rumors.]
[Hurry and join the fandom! This family background and backing are too strong, and she has an internationally recognized movie queen as a wife. There's no way Xia Xia will fade away!]
[Seriously, when Mr. Xia stands there now, I feel like a boss in a meeting. As expected of a man with hundreds of billions in assets, so cool.]
[I just want to know when my husband will come to marry me. I'm lying down.]
[Sister in front, you can lie down and dream. I have a cousin who works at Xia Corporation. I heard that Mr. Xia is already in a relationship, and his partner is also a big boss, and they were classmates. A childhood sweetheart story!]
[Damn, elaborate!]
[Has anyone noticed Mr. Xia looking in a certain direction from time to time?]
[Sigh, I saw Qiu Qiu and his husband. When are these two getting married!]
[I noticed, Mr. Xia is looking at Xia Linxia's boss! The female devil of the entertainment industry!]
[Shocking! No way, no way, no way, am I the only one who knows that Xia Yangxuan's university classmates include a campus belle named Jiang Yuan? The relationship between these two classmates was revealed long ago.]
[Very good, now the relationship is also revealed:]
[Take back my hands that wanted to snatch the bride.]
After Xia Yangxuan finished speaking, it was time for the newlyweds to enter. The camera turned to the entrance, where the two newlyweds stood side by side, both wearing white wedding dresses. Up close, the styles were the same: strapless, cinched waist, long train, with the skirt trailing on the ground, made with eight layers of handmade tulle. However, upon closer inspection, Xia Linxia's back was made of hollowed-out lace, and she wore a diamond crown, with her veil tied back, falling longer than the skirt train.
Ji Fengxue's skirt was adorned with hexagonal snowflakes, and with each step, it looked like snowflakes were falling. Father Xia and Fang Xingyan each escorted their daughters forward.
[I'm gone, women are indeed the most beautiful when they wear wedding dresses!]
[Double kill! Double wedding dresses, I can! Breathtakingly beautiful.]
[When I marry my girlfriend in the future, I'll also have double wedding dresses!]
[Why do I feel like crying when I see their smiles?]
[Watching them fall in love and get married all the way has been so difficult. Mom, I'll cry first.]
Xiang Huaimeng, watching from the side, suddenly burst into tears. She turned and buried her face in Chen Nian's shoulder, "Damn, that brat Xia Linxia is already taken. When will sweet love come to me?"
Chen Nian said, "As long as you don't let your snot come out, it will be your turn soon."
Xiang Huaimeng spat, took the tissue from her, and wiped her tears.
Xia Yangxuan took over the role of the pastor and solemnly asked, "Xia Linxia, do you take her to be your wife, to love her, to care for her, to respect her, as you love yourself? Whether she is sick or healthy, rich or poor, always loyal to her, until death do you part?"
"I do!" Xia Linxia said loudly.
"Ji Fengxue, do you take her to be your wife, to love her, to care for her, to respect her, as you love yourself? Whether she is sick or healthy..." Xia Yangxuan suddenly paused, glanced at Xia Linxia, and then read from the card, "Whether she gains weight, snores when she sleeps, picks her feet when she's bored, or loves spicy food, you will always obey?"
“…” The entire audience fell silent for a few seconds, then erupted in laughter that seemed to shake the roof. The viewers in the bullet comments were also laughing uncontrollably.
Xia Linxia didn't get a response and shot Ji Fengxue a glare. Amidst the lively atmosphere, Ji Fengxue could already predict how lively the future days would be. She smiled and said, "I do."
Then came the exchange of rings and the kiss. The live broadcast ended with their kiss.
The hotel was in another location. The two walked out hand in hand. As the main door opened, the sun, which usually didn't shine in this place, came out. The two looked up at the same time, and the warm light fell on their faces.
Ji Fengxue turned her head, looking at Xia Linxia, her lover, and saw their future, radiant with light. She also saw their past, how they missed each other several times, and then by chance, they held each other's hands.
Xia Linxia seemed to sense something and looked back at her, her eyes curved, "What are you thinking about?"
Thinking—
Time sometimes passes very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, one is thirty. But in the long run, time slowly becomes years. For example, at this moment, Ji Fengxue and Xia Linxia's new life journey has officially begun.
"Nothing, just want to hold your hand." She smiled.
Xia Linxia intertwined her fingers with hers, holding them tightly, as if grasping the entire world.
