“You worry too much,” said her friend Xie Ya as she packed. She turned and looked at her helplessly, “I can’t stay here any longer. This place is way too far from my work. I have been late 8 times this month. At this rate, I will most likely get fired.”
Song Yuan looked at her wistfully and said, “I can support you.”
Her words made Xie Ya chuckled involuntarily, “Why, thank you so much. If only you are a man, I will for sure marry you immediately and just waste my life away. Stop sounding like a lesbian in front of me; I have very poor self-control and my sexual preference is very hazy.
“By the way, the TV program that I had been following is about to come on,” said Xie Ya as she put her clothes down, rushed to the couch, and turned the TV on. “Let me tell you, this show is sooo good.”
Song Yuan was never into any TV shows. She found them lame and her TV was mostly there for decoration purposes.
But, she wanted to chat more with Xie Ya today so she went over to the couch as well.
The jade pendant that she casually placed on the dining table blinked an eerie light.
“So, what is this about?”
“It’s based on this historical fiction novel where the female lead transmigrated back to the past and somehow ended up in the imperial harem …”
Song Yuan rolled her eyes, “What? That’s so cliché!”
“Song Xiao Yuan, please do not interrupt me when I am on a roll recommending something to you.” It didn’t matter that Song Yuan had no interest in it, Xie Ya continued raving to her about the show. “Okay, maybe it’s a little cliché, but it’s very addicting. The female lead has this crazy cheat. The male lead was the emperor, but he was never interested in any of his concubines…”
“Deliberate innocence. Makes no sense.” Song Yuan has always been the expert in being the devil’s advocate. “Don’t tell me that the male lead can’t perform when he was around anyone else other than the female lead.”
Xie Ya, “How many unmentionable novels have you read behind my back?!”
“……”
“The male lead carried with him trauma from his childhood. You know, the usual cold and strong type. The female lead was cute. The two of them fell in love with each other and the female lead became queen. But, you know, the female lead was a transmigrator, so her values were very different from that of someone from a historic period of time and the two of them had more and more conflicts. I don’t know how the TV show would alter some of the story arcs but when I read the novel, the ending was quite sad.
The female lead gave birth to a boy, and he was immediately the crowned prince. But, in the few years that followed, the male and female leads just continued to torment each other and were very unhappy. The ending was open ended. I think something about the female lead falling asleep one night and waking up back in the modern days. She wasn’t sure if everything that she had experienced was real or just a dream of hers.”
Xie Ya was very genuine in raving about the TV show, “Let me tell you, the premise might be a little cliché, but that dawg male lead was such a scum!”
Song Yuan threw her arms around a pillow. Even the rave was coming from her best friend, it still failed to interest her.
The show finally ended as Xie Ya was calling the male lead with her eyes reddened. Song Yuan picked up her car keys and said to her, “It’s getting late. I’ll take you back.”
*Sniffle* “Yuanyuan are too nice to me. You are the only one who’d worry about me leaving the house at night!” Xie Ya pondered for a little bit and looked Song Yuan up and down before she asked, “Say, are you seeing someone lately? I have been meaning to ask for a while now.”
Song Yuan was surprised, “You knew that I have been single since birth. Why would you ask me this now?”
