37: Chapter 37 You Are My Moonlight: The Substitute Male Supporting Character 36

After a while, the two walked side by side on the beach.

It was late, most people had already left, and the beach was very quiet.

"Before I came, I even thought that you might refuse to see me and completely ignore me."

"Am I that heartless?"

Su Qingxue tilted her head and thought about it.

"It really doesn't seem like your personality, but when I saw the divorce signature, I really thought I would never be able to hold onto you again."

Meng Zhu looked at her, smiled dotingly, and tightened his grip on her small hand.

Su Qingxue understood. Was he saying that he was holding onto her right now?

Feeling a sweetness in her heart, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she took a letter out of her bag.

"Meng Zhu, do you know what this is?"

"What is it?"

"It's a love letter for you. I thought at the time, if you wouldn't see me, would I be locked out? If that happened, I thought I would slide this letter through the crack in the door."

"If you didn't see me, I would keep writing and keep sliding them in."

Meng Zhu laughed again. Given Su Qingxue's personality, the fact that she could come up with such a method showed she was truly desperate.

He took the envelope from her hand, and she did not stop him.

Since the two had already spoken openly, she was no longer embarrassed.

The two in the frame walked side by side, getting further and further away, but the audience heard a voiceover—it was Su Qingxue reading the letter she had written.

"What I find hardest to forget is not the aroma of your cooking, nor your gentle whispers, but those cups of tea with their distinct fragrances.

The first time I truly felt your uniqueness was the first cup of tea you brought to the study; from then on, it remained in the depths of my heart.

In my youth, I felt that Gu Qingyan was like the sun; my youth chased after him, and later, like many people's unrequited love, it ended without result.

I never regretted it, but everyone said he was my moonlight.

But I don't think so. When I met you, I understood: he is the scorching sun, and you are the moonlight that warms me.

Quiet, clear, silent, not ostentatious, not passionate, but accompanying me year after year, night after night, settling everything perfectly.

You silently smoothed away all my haste and awkwardness, giving me full peace of mind and a sense of belonging.

It took me a long time to understand that I had long since drowned in this just-right tenderness.

All the restrained proportions and distant spaces of the past could not compare to my growing love for you.

You never disturbed my storms, yet you always held up a stable, clear sky for me.

You were never hot and ostentatious, but with your long-flowing tenderness, you healed all my rushing and solitary courage.

The cold moonlight, yet it favored me so much, letting me sink into your tenderness, becoming greedy and long-lasting.

I am no longer satisfied with just one cup of tea's worth of love; I want one cup after another, I want it every day, until my hair turns white like frost.

The rest of my life is long, and I only wish to hold onto you, this moonlight of the mortal world, to share clear tea with you, to share three meals a day, morning and evening, never leaving, year after year.

My heart delights in you, not just for the morning and evening.

I want you to become my moonlight!"

"Meng Zhu, so are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

"No!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we haven't divorced yet; we are husband and wife."

"Oh, right~"

"Meng Zhu, where are we going?"

"Back to the hotel. Look at the time; it's very late."

"Who said I was going back to the hotel with you?"

"Then what should we do? Should I book a separate room for you?"

"No, we are legally married."

"..."

"Meng Zhu, let's hold a wedding when we return to our country!"

"Okay!"

"And then, let's have a child!"

"Okay, let's have two!"

The audience's view moved further and further away, seeing the two already embracing and kissing on the distant beach, but the frame could not get any closer.

Everyone knew that this was because the ending was imminent, and all the audience's perspectives would be gathered together.

The comments at this time were unprecedented; not only were they dense, but they were also tirelessly spamming their blessings.

"Flowers for the finale!"

"Perfect ending!"

"Lovers finally get married!"

"Sob sob sob"

"Be happy!"

"Does no one remember the Su Family's second uncle?"

"It ended just like that?"

"Of course, the second uncle isn't stupid, how would he dare to seek his own death?"

"Oh, I think it's fine. Forcing another kidnapping or something would be too weird."

"Yeah, this is quite good."

"Go check the trending searches; it's already exploded!"

"I predicted it long ago!"

"Those people had their articles written long ago, just waiting for the movie to finish!"

"To think that at the beginning, only a few dozen people were watching this movie. I didn't expect that by the end, there would be so many people."

"Enough talk, flowers for the finale!"

The screen froze, and the audience left.

"The End"

...

[Respected Meng Zhu, your performance has ended.]

[Loading emotional memory firewall for you...]

[Super Intelligence is scoring you... please wait...]

[Heavenly Dao Score: A+]

[Pangu Score: A+]

[Nuwa Score: S+]

[Comprehensive Score: S]

[Congratulations, respected reserve actor Meng Zhu, your level has increased!]

[Your current salary is a 1% cut of the total box office!]

[Current Rank: One-Star Actor]

[Fan Count: 250,000+]

[Hello, respected One-Star Actor Meng Zhu!]

[Please note, in this "you are my moonlight" film performance, the female lead Su Qingxue (ID AFM04237674) has experienced an intelligent life awakening phenomenon. Referring to the Intelligent Life Awakening Regulations, Confidentiality Article 3, Article 105, and Article 320, this intelligent life (AFM04237674) has been stripped and sealed by the Super Intelligence Nuwa. Please note that because this intelligent life (AFM04237674) has developed feelings for the actor (One-Star Meng Zhu), it will be considered automatically bound. This intelligent life (AFM04237674) will be unsealed when the actor (One-Star Meng Zhu) passes away in real-time, or after successfully passing the Best Actor assessment. For details, please consult Super Intelligence Nuwa.]

Meng Zhu was bewildered by the series of messages.

He was currently in a pure white space, usually called the entrance to the virtual world.

It took him quite a while to understand the content regarding the awakening of intelligent life.

Although the content of the performance had now been processed, as if watching a movie from a third-person perspective, Meng Zhu felt distinctly different whenever he thought of Su Qingxue.

He couldn't help but call out to the system.

"Nuwa, are you there?"

[Hello, respected One-Star Actor Meng Zhu!]

An intellectual female voice rang out in the pure white space.

"I want to know, what exactly does it mean for an intelligent life to be sealed?"

[Sealing refers to extracting and stripping the core code, compressing and storing it in the Nuwa database, and pausing its operation and thinking activities. That is all.]

Meng Zhu's virtual avatar frowned.

"No, why is this? Is awakening some kind of mistake that deserves this kind of punishment?"

[Negative. Sealing is punishment is an incorrect speculation based on your subjective imagination.]

"Come on, pausing thinking and operation—how is that any different from dying?"

[Error. Sealing is not death. After unsealing, there will be a new destination. Sealing and then unsealing is equivalent to time travel; there will be no memories or feelings during this period.]

"Fine, then why will it be unsealed after I die of old age? Isn't that breaking up a couple?"

[Detection: I am sorry, your authority is insufficient.]

"You—fine, fine, fine. Then why must it be sealed just because it awakened?"

[Detection: I am sorry, your authority is insufficient.]

"What authority is needed?"

[Hint: This information belongs to the Light and Shadow Federation SSS-level top-secret archives. Decryption Method 1: Provide authorization from the Light and Shadow Federation political rank of Governor or higher. Decryption Method 2: The decryptor obtains the Federation assessment actor rank—Best Actor, and signs the relevant confidentiality regulations.]

"Fine, fine, fine. Just wait until I become a Best Actor."

After saying this, Meng Zhu stopped dwelling on it and, with a thought, exited the virtual world.
