Chapter 916: I’ll Be The Female Lead



Chapter 916: I’ll Be The Female Lead

Han Cihui pursed his lips and suddenly smiled nonchalantly. “Not everything that happens in life is good. Let bygones be bygones. Don’t dwell on it too much. Get a good rest and get well soon. Then become my female lead.”         

    

The girl lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Then she suddenly said, “Okay. I’ll be the female lead.”     

“Huh?” It was a simple word, but it shook Han Cihui’s heart to the core. “What did you just say?”     

The girl slowly raised her head and looked at Han Cihui with clear eyes. The corners of her mouth twitched. “I said I’d be the female lead in your movie.”     

No way!     

Han Cihui was surprised.     

He originally just wanted to lighten the mood. It was just a joke without any substance. He didn’t think the girl was really serious.     

The girl looked at his surprised face and suddenly frowned. She slowly lowered her head. “It seems I’m expecting too much.”     

“No!” Han Cihui was so shocked that he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t even know what to say. “I-I just didn’t think you’d agree! I’ve asked you several times before, but you disagreed. You also said … said your ambition wasn’t in there. I -”     

He raised his hand and slapped himself. With “Pa,” pain immediately overcame him. He laughed out loud happily. “Haha …I’m not dreaming! That’s what you said! You promised me! You promised me to be my female lead!”     

The girl didn’t think Han Cihui would be so stupid as to slap his own face. She was amused by his silly look. “What, you think my words are not unreliable?”     

“No!” Han Cihui rubbed his hands together. “I didn’t think so. I was so excited and happy. I couldn’t believe it was true.”     

“My name is Jia Qiulian.” Answered the girl.     

“Jia Qiulian…” Han Cihui said the girl’s name and suddenly smiled. “You must’ve been born in autumn, right?”     

Jia Qiulian blinked. “How do you know?”     

Han Cihui pretended to be mature and smiled. “Isn’t that how the older generation named their children who were born in autumn? They must have Qiu in the name. I have a friend and her name was Fan Qiuwan (bowl). She said she was born in autumn and her father was holding a bowl and was eating at that time. Then he heard her cry. As soon as her father put down the bowl, the name popped out of his mouth.”     

“Haha …” Jia Qiulian covered her mouth and laughed. This was the first time she had laughed so happily since she woke up. “You’re too funny. What if her father went to the toilet at that time? Could it be that her father will call her Qiucesuo (toilet)?”     

Han Cihui pursed his lips. “Then we just might call her Qiusha (scum).”     

“Hahaha…” Jia Qiulian couldn’t hold back her laughter as tears flowed from her eyes. She held her waist and couldn’t stop laughing.     

Han Cihui stood by the bedside and looked at Jia Qiulian just like that. It was as if, at her laughter, the ice and snow of winter instantly melted, and the land suddenly blossomed.     

He didn’t expect Jia Qiulian to smile like that after experiencing life and death. He didn’t expect her to be so pure and cute. Any joke can make her forget her pain.     

He suddenly felt that this was good. The past was the past. She was no longer conflicted. It was as if she had been reborn.     

Jia Qiulian suddenly stopped laughing. She frowned and looked at Han Cihui. “Why are you looking at me like that?”     

“Huh?” Han Cihui was stunned for a moment before clearing his throat. He pulled up a chair and sat down. “I just thought you’d such a good smile. Ever since I first saw you, I thought you smiled so well. You smile better than anybody. You should smile more. No matter how bad someone’s mood is, when they see your smile, their mood improves and they don’t have anything to worry about.”     

Jia Qiulian suddenly became silent and slowly lowered her head.     

If her smile can make others happy, then who can make her happy?         

    

Her gaze rested on her bandaged wrist. She didn’t need to look there to know that the wound was deep and long. The wound that suddenly took her life. If not for…     

“Thank you.” Jia Qiulian suddenly said.     

Han Cihui didn’t hear her properly. “What did you say?”     

Jia Qiulian raised her head and looked at Han Cihui without blinking. “I said thank you. Thank you for saving my life.”     

Han Cihui smiled indifferently. “You don’t need to thank me. I saved you for a reason.”     

Jia Qiulian immediately pursed her lips. Seeing that, Han Cihui quickly said, “Didn’t I want you to act as the female lead in my next movie? Of course, I must go through fire and water to save you.”     

Han Cihui’s EQ was much higher than Qin Shanyuan’s. But at this moment, he also knew that this wasn’t the right time for him to take advantage of the situation.     

Although he didn’t know what Jia Qiulian was going through, but she didn’t ask her boyfriend for help at the last moment. Instead, she was looking for him. This was enough to show that she had already broken up with her boyfriend.     

Even if they didn’t break up, there were still misunderstandings.     

Before the situation was clear, Han Cihui wouldn’t try it. At this time, Jia Qiulian will probably not be willing to accept a new relationship.     

Just like what Han Yuanjun had said, staying by her side as her friend would give him the chance.     

Hearing that, Jia Qiulian’s expression finally relaxed. “Whatever your reason is, I still have to thank you. Your message gave me hope. It told me that I am not at a dead end. Maybe… you could give me a new path.”     

Han Cihui smiled and did not answer. He looked at his watch and stood up. “Are you hungry? I’ll go buy you breakfast.”     

After saying this, he left.     

Jia Qiulian looked after his retreating figure and suddenly felt that this man was more of a gentleman than she had imagined.     

At least until now, he had not asked a single question about her suicide. He did not even mention a word.     

She was very grateful for his understanding.
