Chapter 196 A better self
"How is it, Qin Xi? Isn't it beautiful here? Why don't you leave? Come on..."
Looking out from Qinxi, what comes into view is a sea of colorful flowers. There is no need to take a deep breath, the refreshing fragrance will automatically penetrate into your nose. Looking further away, there is a vast grassland like a green carpet, and further away, there are magnificent snow-capped mountains.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Qin Xi would not have believed that she could take in all these incomparable scenes at once. Nature is truly amazing. It seemed that this was the first time that Qin Xi was so close to nature, as if she could touch the soft giant clouds as long as she stretched out her hand.
Just standing here and doing nothing is enough to make you yearn for it. Kalajun in June is indeed beautiful.
Qin Xi finally understood Sister Meng's good intentions, but...
"Why don't I walk anymore? Don't you know what's going on? Gu Chenxing, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's too long to walk for two hours. My legs are getting thin. I can't walk anymore..."
Qin Xi was panting, sitting on the ground and waving his hands.
Gu Chenxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and teased, "It's only a few steps away, and you can't do it?"
Qin Xi glared at Gu Chenxing weakly, "A few steps? How dare you say that? It's tens of thousands of steps, okay? Do you think everyone is like you, a young man in his early twenties, with excessive energy and unlimited physical strength?"
"You sound so old-fashioned when you say that, as if you are very old. You are only three years older than me!"
Gu Chenxing obviously didn't like Qin Xi talking to him in the tone of a child.
"Besides, physical strength has nothing to do with age. Xiao Cen and Lili are not much older than you and me, but they are far behind us, aren't they?"
Qin Xi was speechless. What did she mean by "left behind by us"? She meant "left behind by you"! If I hadn't asked you to drag me along, I would have wanted to follow along with Lili and the others, slowly and leisurely.
"Are you giving up so soon? This is not like your personality~" Gu Chenxing started to provoke him.
Qin Xi obviously didn't buy it. He changed into a comfortable position and decided to give up.
"If this is a walking race, then I would rather admit defeat. You win, first place, awesome, okay? Can this give me a break?"
Ever since Gu Chenxing lied to her that it was just the two of them on this trip to Xinjiang, he successfully aroused Qin Xi's rage and fighting spirit.
If this trip was a battle, Qin Xi suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle and was defeated step by step afterwards. Gu Chenxing was a man with a unique way of thinking and outrageous physical strength.
If Qin Xi wanted to compete with him in this trip, it would be like a Northeastern person eating noodles - there was no chance of winning. In desperation, Qin Xi unilaterally stopped the battle. Of course, the enemy might not even know the existence of this battle, so Qin Xi would not be too embarrassed.
Gu Chenxing looked at Qin Xi's lively expression and couldn't help laughing. He gave up the idea of pulling Qin Xi up and continued walking, and sat down next to Qin Xi.
"I remember that you used to be very strong. When we were filming [It Happened to Be You], you were on the set shooting scenes and moving around, and you could stand for a whole day without any problem. Why is it that now...?"
"How can they be the same? I am a professional in filming, and I also enjoy it. When I do something I like, I will never feel tired. Besides, a hero never brags about his past achievements. Can my current physical strength be compared with that time?"
Gu Chenxing almost laughed out loud, "What's the saying that a hero never talks about his past achievements? If you don't know, you would think it's been more than ten or twenty years, but it's just you who finished filming half a year ago!"
"[It just so happens that you] just finished filming half a year ago, but the new movie I just shot feels like a year!"
Qin Xi was eager to gain recognition. "You have no idea how miserable my new character is. Every day that I am hers is either the darkest moment or on the way to the darkest moment. After experiencing her life, I am seriously injured and my health is running low. It's great that I still have the energy to come out and accompany you..."
"Oh, I remember a senior once taught me this, saying that the most important thing for an actor is control, especially when experiencing other people's lives, one must learn to get out of emotions. I have always regarded this senior's insights as a guiding principle. I always thought that this senior could really control herself as she said, but I didn't expect that there would be times when she would fail to do so~"
Qin Xi suddenly felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping past her eyes, and she almost vomited blood.
The world is so beautiful, but I am so irritable. This is not good, not good...
But... I'm just irritable, so what!
"Gu Chenxing! I think you deserve a beating!"
"Ouch!"
Gu Chenxing covered his arm and jumped two miles away.
"So energetic? I see that your physical strength is still as good as before. You will be able to recover soon and be revived with full health~"
Qin Xi: “…”
"Oh my god, I find that your personality is getting more and more wrong. It's only been half a year, how come you have become like this? I really wonder if someone has taken over your body?"
Gu Chenxing suddenly became interested and jumped back to Qin Xi's side, "Oh? In your eyes, what was I like before? What am I like now?"
Qin Xi tried hard to recall the moment she first met Gu Chenxing.
"So... he is a proud and shy, cool and considerate gentleman."
He is also the dazzling and charming international movie star in her memory.
Qin Xi curled her lips and looked at Gu Chenxing with a half-smile, "Now, look at yourself now, do I need to tell you?"
Gu Chenxing lowered his head and smiled, "At that time, when I first saw the goddess I had admired for many years, my heart was about to jump out. Do you remember when you first saw me?"
"That time in the dressing room? I still remember it clearly. I still remember you were wearing sunglasses that day. I shook hands with you, but you didn't even raise your hand. You looked so cool and arrogant."
"Do you know why I wear sunglasses? Because I don't dare to look into your eyes. Or, I can say, I don't dare to let you look into my eyes. I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself and expose all my thoughts in front of you..."
"I didn't shake your hand because I was totally at a loss. My hands were sweaty and shaking so much that I ran away the next second."
"So, I'm not the so-called aloof person at all. It's just because I met you..."
Qin Xi couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Gu Chenxing, only to find that Gu Chenxing had been staring at him. The two looked at each other, and Qin Xi saw the bright stars in Gu Chenxing's eyes again. A strange feeling quietly arose again.
"You can say it so frankly now, is it because you don't like me anymore? Actually, there is no such thing as a goddess, they are just ordinary people wrapped in halos."
Gu Chenxing smiled casually, "The sign of a person's maturity is the courage to face the past."
Because I like it more, in order to let you let go of your worries, and also to become a better self...
