I didn't know how to describe that feeling. It was as if there was a feather in my heart, gently scratching away. It made my heart feel itchy. I tried hard to suppress the excitement within me. There must be something wrong with my heart; otherwise, why would it race uncontrollably at the mere thought of that man?
Just then, my phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue has been my student for many years. I have been supporting him for almost ten years, from middle school until now. He is about to graduate from college.
I answered the phone, "Hello, Zhou Yue."
Zhou Yue politely greeted me and then asked, "Why did the funding amount increase by five thousand this month?"
I laughed and said, "That's a reward for you; you've worked hard during this time."
"Thank you for accompanying me to meals, movies, and games, helping me get through one boring leisure time after another."
"In the future, if you need money, just ask me without feeling embarrassed."
On the weekend, I spent over an hour getting ready before heading out. Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt quite satisfied. In this state, I could easily meet high-profile clients.
However, I was filled with inner turmoil along the way. Was dressing up so beautifully too deliberate? Would that man think I was frivolous? Or perhaps he was just a playboy, skilled at using sweet words to charm women? If that were the case, had I encountered a scumbag? And he was so handsome; he might really be one...
But who cares? As long as I have money, even if he is a scumbag, I can turn him into my plaything.
Lost in thought, I had already arrived at the script games store.
As soon as I entered, I saw Xu Jiachen. He was sitting in a quiet spot in the room, calmly sipping water. His demeanor was elegant and charming. My doubts vanished in an instant. How could such a man possibly be a jerk? He looked like a prince who had walked out of a medieval castle.
I straightened my clothes and quickly walked towards him. "Hello, I am Ma Guoyuan." He nodded slightly, "Hello, I am Xu Jiachen." As he spoke, he extended his hand. I paused for a moment. He smiled even more gently, "What's wrong?"
I snapped back to reality and took his hand. "Hello, Xu Jiachen." His hand was cool but large and soft. I felt the warmth radiating from his fingertips. A blush crept onto my cheeks. Xu Jiachen's graciousness made me feel warm and at ease.
There weren't many people in this script games, only six of us. The boss grouped me with Xu Jiachen for efficiency. We were to play a pair of newlyweds about to get married. I wore a red wedding dress and adorned myself with a phoenix hairpin; I looked beautiful. This was my first time trying on ancient attire. Xu Jiachen also donned traditional clothing, looking remarkably handsome. He was already good-looking, but the ancient outfit accentuated his extraordinary charm.
In this script, I had a handsome Senior Brother. This handsome Senior Brother was also very attractive and approachable, leaving a deep impression on me. The game began. I waited for my groom in the bridal chamber. Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
handsome Senior Brother stood outside the door. "Yuan Yuan, come with me. Let's elope."
I was taken aback. "Senior Brother, what's wrong with you today?"
As soon as I finished speaking, my wrist was grabbed by someone.
I looked up to see the groom, Xu Jiachen.
He looked at me, his gaze deep and intense. "Yuan Yuan, are you really going to leave with him?"
His acting was simply too good.
The pain and struggle in his eyes made my heart skip a beat.
I instinctively shook my head. "No... I won't go with him..."
Xu Jiachen held my hand and stepped in front of handsome Senior Brother. "Yuan Yuan won't go with you. You should give up on that idea."
handsome Senior Brother was unwilling to accept it. "Yuan Yuan, have you really forgotten me?"
"We were childhood sweethearts, inseparable..."
Xu Jiachen interrupted him. "Those are all things of the past."
"Now, Yuan Yuan is my wife."
"I will take good care of her."
Saying this, he lowered his head to look at me, his gaze gentle. "Yuan Yuan, I will protect you."
I looked into his affectionate eyes, and my heart fluttered.
In that moment, I forgot I was playing a game.
I only felt that I was Yuan Yuan, and he was my husband.
We would live happily together.
Xu Jiachen reached out and gently lifted the thin veil covering my head.
My heart raced, and my breathing became rapid.
My cheeks grew warmer.
At that moment, I felt like a bride about to be married—both excited and nervous.
