Chapter 24: Real Life Movie
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
At this point in time, He Xiyan wandered down the streets of another city aimlessly.
She did not buy anything, not even a bottle of water. She continued to walk down in this manner from one street to the next. A few hours later, she had almost walked down the streets of this entire city.
As a young couple walked past her, she paused for a while. She started to trail after them in spite of herself.
They were clearly deeply in love. The man was tall and handsome, and as for the woman, she was not extremely pretty but she had an innocent face.
“Yi, thank you for choosing me.” The woman looked up at the man, her face a picture of bliss. Her arms tightened even more around that man’s arms, as though she wanted to announce to the world that this man was hers.
The man gently pinched her flushed cheeks.
“Xiao Mei, thank you for being so good to me. I feel very lucky to have met someone like you,” the man said tenderly in a low baritone.
He Xiyan continued to follow this couple as they whispered sweet nothings to each other while they walked along the streets.
Tears pricked at her eyes, but she would blink them back once in a while. Nonetheless, she still was not able to stop one tear from falling from the corner of her eye.
Once upon a time, when she was still 20, she had also hooked her arm through a man’s in the same manner. That man had also used similar words to thank her, and even had the same habit of pinching her face. He liked…
Damn it. Why wasn’t she able to forget him?

He Xiyan bit at her lips so hard that they bled, as though she had an autosadism syndrome. Several injuries had appeared all over her body over the past few days. They were all caused by her either pinching or biting herself.
The couple stopped in front of a movie theatre and bought a tub of popcorn and two movie tickets from the cashier.
He Xiyan followed them into the theatre. It was New Year’s Day so the movie theatre was particularly busy. Many shows had already sold out so she could only choose to watch a relatively less popular movie. The movie was called ‘Temptation of Returning Home’.
She did not even read the synopsis of the movie, because she was not in the mood to watch anything.
Music boomed and the opened credits rolled. Soon, a thin, young woman and a middle-aged woman around 50 years of age appeared on the screen. The middle-aged woman kept berating the young woman for failing to bear any children even after five years of marriage. She was forced to take some kind of medication.
After that woman took the medication, she waited patiently in the bedroom for her beloved to return home and even prepared his favorite food for supper. However, her husband did not return. She kept trying to dial his number, but he never picked up. Soon, the scene changed to focus on a handsome young man performing unspeakable acts with a beautiful woman. Their actions were vigorous and they acted with all their might.
He Xiyan stared at the screen blankly, her hand over her heart which periodically squeezed in pain.
The movie continued to air.
In the movie, the mistress, Ally, became pregnant and bore that man a son. After Ally bore him a son, that man’s attitude changed entirely. He refused to go home, refused to see his wife and even argued over the phone with her. All this time, he held the divorce papers in his hands.

Finally, one night over the holidays, that man brought Ally and their child back to his marital home. Once they arrived, that man threw the divorce papers at his wife and forced her to sign on them.
This was the straw that finally broke the camel’s back. He Xiyan could no longer bear it and broke down completely, her tears breaking free from the dam.
That was not a made-up movie. That movie was her life story and she was the main female character in it.
She could not bear it any longer and let out a piercing scream.
Then, she buried her head in her hands and wailed loudly, as though she wanted to let out all the frustration she had been holding in.
She wailed even louder and this attracted the attention of the audience.
Everyone turned to stare at He Xiyan who sat on the eighth row.
“Who is that? Shut up!” A young man shouted angrily.
