Lust, Caution?
This movie feels so familiar.
Oh, she remembers now.
This film seems to have been released when she was in school. At that time, it caused quite a stir due to some explicit scenes, leading to widespread discussion and criticism, and it was eventually banned.
Shu Ran wanted to watch it.
Because back then, some girls in her class made plans to go see it together, and when they returned, they all said it was really good, even getting emotional about it.
Shu Ran wanted to see it but was too afraid.
At that time, going to see Lust, Caution felt like something shameful, even though the version shown in theaters had already been edited.
But she still didn't dare.
Later on, she missed out on this movie and also missed the ongoing discussions about it among her peers.
If you were Wang Jiazhi, would you fall in love with Mr. Yi?
Shu Ran always wanted to watch it, but later, there were no more opportunities.
She couldn't find a source online either and felt too embarrassed to ask others for it, so she gave up.
And now, this film is right in her hands.
Will Shu Ran hesitate?
No.
She didn't know whether this film was the edited version or the unedited version. Even if it was the unedited version, it didn't matter; at this moment, she didn't want to miss it.
The disc slowly entered the player, and as the screen gradually lit up, a student cathedral from the Republic of China era slowly appeared before her eyes.
Shu Ran leaned back on the sofa and picked up the thin blanket at her feet, covering herself with it.
This was a pink striped blanket specially prepared for her by Qin Xian, who knew she would definitely come upstairs alone to watch the movie. So he had set aside this blanket for her, so that when she felt cold or accidentally fell asleep, she could cover herself with it to avoid catching a chill.
Shu Ran focused intently on the screen, never having watched a movie so seriously before. Her eyes hardly blinked as she refused to miss any frame or detail.
Lust, Caution tells the story of a female college student who uses her beauty to approach the traitor Mr. Yi with the intention of assassinating him but finds herself falling in love instead. She ends up warning Mr. Yi, allowing him to escape, while he decides to eliminate them all.
When Shu Ran saw Wang Jiazhi sacrifice her innocence to complete her mission only to be looked down upon by her revolutionary classmates, she truly felt heartbroken for her.
At that moment, she felt particularly sorry for her.
As a result, later on, she ultimately felt pity for Wang Jiazhi. Even when she urged Mr. Yi to leave at a critical moment when the mission was about to succeed, it seemed there was nothing incomprehensible about it; instead, it felt like she was liberated.
The reason she warned him at the last moment was certainly not because of the allure of a diamond as big as a pigeon egg; if that were the case, her heart would be too cold.
Wang Jiazhi had a bit of maternal kindness and a touch of passionate patriotism. Her revolutionary classmates used her and looked down on her even more, while the traitor doted on her excessively.
If it were her in that situation, she would probably feel an immense inner conflict as well.
If you were Wang Jiazhi, would you fall in love with Mr. Yi?
Shu Ran didn't know; she couldn't be absolutely certain.
If she truly encountered such a person who cherished and adored her, yet was utterly wicked, doing things that were completely contrary to her moral beliefs, would she stop him? Would she still fall in love with him?
It was unpredictable.
There was no such thing as possibility in matters like this; only at that moment could one truly empathize and make a choice.
Shu Ran hoped she would never have to face such a tangled decision.
The film did not contain any so-called erotic scenes, suggesting it was a censored version.
By the time Shu Ran reached the end, she was already quite exhausted.
Throughout the entire movie, she had been fully immersed, feeling Wang Jiazhi's pain, turmoil, determination, and ultimately, her sacrifice and liberation.
It was truly tiring; it left her feeling drained.
Shu Ran curled up on the soft sofa, covering herself with a blanket that Qin Xian had prepared for her, then closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
When Qin Xian returned, he saw this scene: her small body nestled into the large sofa. She was completely covered from head to toe with the blanket he had prepared for her, looking like a little koala bear, which made her appear particularly adorable.
Seeing her made all the fatigue from his day’s work vanish instantly. As long as he could be by her side, quietly accompanying her, that was enough.
Qin Xian slowly sat down, his weight pressing into the soft sofa, unintentionally making some noise. Shu Ran stirred slightly and turned over in her sleep, continuing to doze off.
Qin Xian smiled lightly, extending his broad palm to gently stroke her soft hair. He hoped for her to wake up, yet he did not want to call her.
His flight was at seven o'clock in the evening, heading to various branches for the annual meeting. It was already five thirty-eight; he needed to arrive at the airport before six thirty.
But now he was doing nothing, just sitting here accompanying a sleeping person. He wanted her to see him as the first person when she opened her eyes, just so he could personally tell her about his business trip.
As the year-end approached, today was already December twenty-first, and with so many company matters, he could hardly spare any time.
He would be away for three days, leaving only her at home.
It wasn't that he was not worried; he just feared that she would feel too lonely and bored by herself.
If she were feeling better, Qin Xian would definitely take her along. But unfortunately, that wasn't possible; taking her along would only add to the fatigue of traveling back and forth.
So he had no choice but to seek Zheng Tong and borrow Zhou Jiajia for two days. Zheng Tong initially disagreed, as Zhou Jiajia was pregnant and everything should be handled with care.
However, he could not resist Qin Xian's strong attitude and the sight of his wife nearly jumping with joy at the thought of seeing Shu Ran; he had to compromise.
Zhou Jiajia was also tired of being cooped up. Although she was pregnant and not seriously ill, did it really make sense to keep her locked up at home every day?
She was also required to drink milk daily, have nourishing soups, and follow a strict nutritional diet for pregnant women for all three meals, which left Zhou Jiajia with little appetite.
Now that she suddenly heard that Qin Xian invited her to visit his home and spend time chatting with Shu Ran, she couldn't have wished for anything more.
