The Movie Queen Confesses to Me on Weibo Everyday - Chapter 16

Hearing this, Lu Qiyue froze, her hand that had been about to snatch the task from Ruan Xingchen ultimately withdrawing, allowing Ruan Xingchen to remove her shoes and slip on her slippers.

After changing Lu Qiyue’s shoes, Ruan Xingchen took out an identical pair for herself, a happy smile spreading across her face.

She naturally took Lu Qiyue’s hand. “Yueyue, let me show you around our home properly.”

Lu Qiyue instinctively wanted to argue that this was only her home, but seeing Ruan Xingchen’s eager expression, the words caught in her throat and were swallowed back.

“Yueyue, this is the living room. Does it feel familiar?”

At a glance, Lu Qiyue’s pupils contracted, her eyes slowly welling with tears.

“This… it’s exactly the same as the place I live in.”

Well, not completely identical—Ruan Xingchen’s living room was much larger than her rented apartment. It was more like an enlarged version of her own space.

From the layout to the smallest decorative pieces, not a single detail was missing.

Ruan Xingchen smiled faintly and nodded. “Yes, exactly the same.”

“After you broke up with me, I couldn’t bear to bury all our memories, so I used the first money I earned to buy this place and decorated it to look just like our home… so I could remember you through it.”

“Oh, and my bedroom is upstairs. The setup… is identical to yours too.” Ruan Xingchen tilted her head slightly, looking at Lu Qiyue. “Want to see?”

Lu Qiyue bit her lip, struggling internally before giving an almost imperceptible nod.

Only then did Ruan Xingchen lead her upstairs. When she pushed open the door, the sight that greeted them was indeed identical to Lu Qiyue’s own room—the only difference, like the living room, was that it was larger.

Lu Qiyue was stunned. She had thought that after their breakup, she was the only one still clinging to the past. She never imagined Ruan Xingchen had been the same.

Neither of them had ever truly let go.

Seizing the moment while Lu Qiyue was lost in thought, Ruan Xingchen slowly wrapped her arms around Lu Qiyue’s waist, resting her chin on her shoulder.

“Yueyue, let’s get back together,” Ruan Xingchen whispered in her ear.

“Ruan Xingchen…” Lu Qiyue murmured.

“Yueyue, neither of us has moved on, neither of us has forgotten. Do we really have to keep torturing each other like this?” Ruan Xingchen’s voice was thick with sorrow. “Yueyue, I can’t live without you.”

Hearing the pain in Ruan Xingchen’s words, Lu Qiyue’s heart was in turmoil.

After a long silence, Lu Qiyue finally spoke. “But… can we really go back?”

“Your only family, my parents, your career… Ruan Xingchen, I don’t want to hold you back.”

Even though Ji Yuchen’s intervention had made Lu Qiyue realize that not everyone in this world would judge their love with disdain, her heart was still weighed down by doubts.

“You’re not holding me back.” Ruan Xingchen turned Lu Qiyue to face her, staring into her eyes with determination.

“My grandfather… he passed away from illness. It had nothing to do with you. As for your parents… they’re your flesh and bl00d. They opposed us because they couldn’t see our future—they were afraid you’d suffer if you chose me. But how could I ever let that happen?”

“Yueyue, Ruan Xingchen is someone who will be bound to you for life. If you live, I live; if you die, I’ll follow you in death. Even if we go to the underworld, I won’t let you cross the Naihe Bridge alone.”

Pressing her forehead against Lu Qiyue’s, Ruan Xingchen spoke in a low voice, but each word was uttered with such force, as if swearing an oath of determination.

“Yueyue, let’s get back together, okay?” Ruan Xingchen repeated.

“Okay? Hmm?” Ruan Xingchen’s voice seemed to carry a certain magic that shattered whatever composure Lu Qiyue had left.

“I…” The moment Lu Qiyue parted her lips, Ruan Xingchen abruptly captured them, thoroughly silencing whatever words she had intended to say.

Ruan Xingchen felt that Lu Qiyue was truly the bane of her existence. Even when she did nothing, Ruan Xingchen wanted to entwine with her unto death.

“Ruan Xingchen…” Lu Qiyue murmured this name engraved in her bones over and over in her heart.

“Yueyue, can you call me A’Ruan?” Ruan Xingchen’s voice was slightly hoarse as she said, “Call me A’Ruan, your very own A’Ruan.”

“A’Ruan…” Lu Qiyue gazed dazedly at the person before her. It was A’Ruan, A’Ruan, the one who held her heart.

“A’Ruan, A’Ruan…”

“Yueyue, is this okay?” Ruan Xingchen was utterly satisfied. Her desire-filled eyes drifted toward the bed behind them, her soft and gentle voice particularly alluring.

Lu Qiyue’s rationality had long been obliterated by Ruan Xingchen, leaving only the most primal desires of her body in control.

“Mmm.” A sound as faint as a mosquito’s hum escaped her.

Ruan Xingchen was overjoyed, not hesitating for a second before pouncing on her and pushing her onto the bed, followed by a night of passion.

Ruan Xingchen seemed tireless, continuing until two or three in the morning before reluctantly releasing the utterly exhausted Lu Qiyue.

The next morning.

When Lu Qiyue woke up, she felt as if her bones were about to fall apart, the pain making her gasp.

As memories flooded back, recalling the previous night, Lu Qiyue immediately pulled the blanket over her face.

She… really slept with Ruan Xingchen?!

Lu Qiyue cursed herself for being so weak. With just a little teasing from Ruan Xingchen, she had lost control and succumbed.

So pathetic.

Thinking about Ruan Xingchen’s words about getting back together… well, she hadn’t agreed to it in the heat of the moment, had she?

Just as Lu Qiyue was pondering this, the sound of the door opening suddenly reached her ears.

As soon as Ruan Xingchen entered, she saw the lump on the bed and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Are you shy?” Ruan Xingchen carried breakfast to the bedside, speaking as she tried to pull the blanket away.

Lu Qiyue held onto the blanket tightly, and Ruan Xingchen’s tug didn’t budge it.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Ruan Xingchen said, “Everything that should and shouldn’t have happened already did last night. Are you planning to hide under the blanket forever?”

“Yueyue, breakfast is here. I brought it for you.”

With that, Ruan Xingchen reached out again to pull the blanket away.

This time, Lu Qiyue didn’t resist, but she only peeked her head out.

“I… where are my clothes?”

“Your clothes are on the nightstand. I prepared them for you earlier.”

Lu Qiyue glanced at the nightstand and, sure enough, a complete set of clothes—from underwear to outerwear—was neatly folded there. However, they weren’t the ones she had worn the day before.

Before Lu Qiyue could ask, Ruan Xingchen explained, “Your clothes from yesterday… weren’t wearable anymore. I had someone bring you new ones.”

“Don’t worry, the size is absolutely perfect. After all… I took your measurements myself.” Ruan Xingchen smiled, a seemingly innocent smile, yet it made Lu Qiyue want to burrow deeper under the covers.
