My actor boyfriend has gone crazy.
The first thing he said to me after waking up from the car accident was:
"Dear wife, before your true love returns, could you please allow this humble one to stay with you for a while longer, for the sake of our unborn child?"
As he spoke, he cried so miserably.
I twitched the corner of my eye. "What year is it? Who am I?"
My boyfriend wiped his tears. "It's the 23rd year of Yuanfeng. You are the Crown Princess of the current dynasty."
I glanced at the director of the live - streaming romance show, then rubbed my temples and opened my boyfriend's novel browsing history on his phone:
*I'm the Stand - in: The White Moonlight of the Female Emperor is Back*
1.
"Dear wife, are you tired of this humble one?"
Seeing me move aside, my boyfriend looked extremely hurt.
"This humble one knows that you have feelings for Young Master Jiang. Now that he will return soon, this humble one will withdraw then."
After saying that, he even sniffled a few times.
The director, seeing my signal, immediately understood with a confused look in his eyes.
He gave me a thumbs - up and mouthed:
"The script is really good!"
Then he quickly told the staff to move the live - streaming camera forward.
Damn the script! Can't he see that this guy has really gone crazy?
I threw away my boyfriend's phone, gritted my teeth and decided to play along.
Looking at my boyfriend who was tugging at my sleeve and blinking his teary eyes, I was so angry that my temples throbbed.
"Who is Young Master Jiang?"
He lowered his eyes, looking very desolate.
"He is your childhood sweetheart who grew up with you. He is your true love."
Me: "[…]"
I think I know who he is.
"This humble one knows that I'm just a stand - in for Young Master Jiang. I've accompanied you for four years, yet I'm not even worthy of the position of a concubine. I'll leave sooner or later."
Shi Yuanqiao pursed his lower lip tightly and covered his stomach.
"But, for the sake of the child this humble one is carrying for you, please fulfill this last wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the live - streaming room exploded:
"Help! I'm getting hooked. Do these young lovers play so wildly in private?"
"No one told me there was a script! Let alone the female - dominated world setting. How can a man give birth?"
"Great Actor Shi is really dedicated to love. I'm so touched."
"Help! Where can I find such a perfect man?"
At this moment, the director was overjoyed to see the soaring popularity.
But this crazy guy didn't know when to stop. He endured the obvious heartache and said:
"If you really don't want this humble one, I'll leave now."
"I just hope that you can take good care of our eldest son."
Saying that, he was about to get up.
I pressed him down at once, grinding my teeth.
"Who is the eldest son?"
Hearing this, Shi Yuanqiao's breath hitched and his emotions became excited.
"Don't you want our first child anymore? He's your eldest son, Baozi!"
Baozi?
An indescribable feeling welled up in my heart.
It was the cat that Shi Yuanqiao and I raised!
A male cat!
When did it become my son, and the eldest son at that?
Just as I clenched my fist,
Shi Yuanqiao suddenly looked out of the window. A crystal - clear teardrop slid down his cheek.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his pale skin, looking extremely miserable.
At this moment, I seemed to see the picture of a forsaken wife and children in him.
And I was the scumbag.
Shi Yuanqiao sighed and slowly stood up.
"Dear wife, this humble one is leaving."
He looked so weak that he seemed to fall down with just a puff of wind.
But he was still working out in the gym the day before.
I rubbed my forehead and stepped forward to hold him.
"Don't go anywhere. Stay here with me."
Shi Yuanqiao frowned. "What do you mean, dear wife?"
Me: …
Without saying a word, I pinned him to the bed. "Lie still and don't move!"
Unexpectedly, Shi Yuanqiao turned his head away, with the tips of his ears turning red.
"Dear wife, be careful. Think of the child. This humble one can't take it so many times."
2.
"Wow, Luoluo is so powerful!"
"My brother is so delicate. I'm so hooked!"
"I want to see the follow - up!"
I almost choked on my breath. I was so angry that I directly pushed the director and his crew out of the door.
The live - streaming room was instantly filled with complaints:
"I'll pay you. Go and film!"
"What can't we watch?"
The director and the cameraman looked at each other and swallowed silently.
It seemed that they shouldn't have had a sudden live - streaming.
The situation was really getting out of hand.
However, out of years of professional ethics, the director still wiped the sweat off his forehead and explained:
"Maybe they are shy. Let's go to the next couple first."
Here, I quickly called the family doctor and questioned him:
"He just had a concussion. Didn't you say he'd be fine after waking up? How come he's gone crazy?"
After a thorough examination, the doctor looked complicated.
"Concussion can indeed cause memory disorders, but cases like your boyfriend's are really rare."
I twitched the corner of my mouth and pointed at the crazy guy who was feeling sad.
"So what should we do?"
The doctor thought for a moment and said:
"The patient probably has a mental knot, which is why he has memory disorders. This needs to be adjusted and recovered slowly. Pay attention to keeping a peaceful mood and avoid any great emotional fluctuations."
After seeing the doctor off, I closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing.
I tried hard to accept the fact that my boyfriend had gone crazy.
"Dear wife, please keep this child, okay?"
Shi Yuanqiao tentatively tugged at my corner of the clothes, almost pleading.
So he was sad about this just now?
Ridiculous! Unbelievable!
I forced a smile and said hatefully:
"Okay, it's yours. No one will fight with you for it."
Just then, a rush of rapid breathing rushed into the room.
"What's wrong with Brother Shi?"
Agent Sister Xiong gasped for breath. But when she saw Shi Yuanqiao covering himself with the quilt,
she was immediately stunned.
I patted Sister Xiong on the shoulder and asked the soul - searching question:
"Your actor has a problem with his mind. What should we do about this romance show?"
Sister Xiong stiffly turned her neck towards me. "So what's on the live - stream is not a script. It's real?"
I gave her an affirmative look and added:
"And we don't know when he'll recover."
Sister Xiong: "[…]"
After weighing the pros and cons, Sister Xiong said seriously:
"The live - streaming of the romance show has already started. We can't back out. But we might as well go with the flow."
"Let's act out the script of the stand - in of the female - dominated lord's white moonlight to the end."
I looked at Shi Yuanqiao who was still immersed in sadness and suddenly felt hopeless.
3.
At this moment, the number one trending topic on Weibo was: "Great Actor Shi is willing to be submissive for love and get pregnant."
"The role played by Shi Yuanqiao seems familiar. It's like from a novel."
"I found it. It's the novel *I'm the Stand - in: The White Moonlight of the Female Emperor is Back* serialized by Author Ling Luo."
"By the way, Ling Luo is Fang Luoluo's pen name."
"My god, the truth is out. The great triple - award - winning actor Shi is actually acting out his girlfriend's novel with her!"
"I'm so into this CP!"
"Same here!"
Looking at the comments, my lips twitched.
Shi Yuanqiao beside me kept covering his abdomen, looking dejected.
I ran my tongue over my back teeth and kept telling myself:
I'm not angry. I'm not angry. I can't argue with a fool.
Especially when he's sick.
But when he sighed for the twentieth time, I completely lost my temper.
I grabbed his face and shouted:
"What have I done wrong to you? Do you have to be so sad?"
Shi Yuanqiao immediately shed a big teardrop.
"Dear wife, it's this humble one's delusion. One - sided love means accepting the consequences."
One - sided love my ass!
I lifted his chin and kissed him directly on the lips.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his cheeks flush red instantly.
Humph, men!
After the kiss, Shi Yuanqiao pursed his lips and turned his head away.
I keenly caught the smile on his lips.
This shy look was really new. I had never seen him like this in our four - year relationship.
Just as I was about to tease him some more, the phone rang suddenly.
The name "Jiang Wenzhao" was flashing on the screen.
Coincidentally, Shi Yuanqiao just saw it.
The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by disappointment.
Me: "[…]"
Seeing me silent, Shi Yuanqiao kindly handed me the phone.
"Young Master Jiang must have a lot to say to you. Don't worry about me."
4.
Worry about what?
Jiang Wenzhao and I have nothing!
We just grew up together.
Why does his every move make me look like a bad guy?
I don't know whether I should answer the phone or not.
"Forget it."
My good mood was gone in an instant, leaving no trace.
But Shi Yuanqiao didn't listen at all. He directly swiped the screen.
And he even said, "Dear wife, don't keep Young Master Jiang waiting."
Then he hugged his stomach and went to be sad alone.
Me: …
"Luoluo, we'll be there soon."
An alarm bell went off in my head. I had forgotten that tonight was the first dinner for the guests of the romance show.
"Okay, see you later."
I hung up the phone and quickly packed my things.
When I turned around, I saw Shi Yuanqiao talking to his stomach with his head down.
"Baby, your mother doesn't want us anymore. But father will take good care of you."
4.
Anger was burning in my chest. But considering what the doctor said,
I still said as patiently as possible:
"You have to listen to me from now on."
Shi Yuanqiao trembled all over. "This humble one will leave."
I was so angry that my eyebrows twitched wildly.
"Damn it! If you don't listen to me, I'll really abandon you."
Shi Yuanqiao shrank back in fear at my roar.
"This humble one knows I'm wrong. I'll serve Young Master Jiang well."
I wanted to curse!
I couldn't hold back my anger anymore.
"When did I ever ask you to serve him?"
If this matter isn't cleared up today, it's not over!
Under my repeated questioning, he stammered:
"Young Master Jiang likes tea, so you asked this humble one to make tea for him every year."
I held back my fist. "Anything else?"
"Young Master Jiang likes operas, so you asked this humble one to sing for him."
Me: "Go on!"
"Young Master Jiang also likes to talk with you all night long, so this humble one has to wait on you all night."
Then Shi Yuanqiao paused and asked embarrassedly:
"This last thing, this humble one doesn't want to say. Please give this humble one the last bit of dignity."
"No. If you don't say it, you can forget about the child!"
I was so angry that I was fuming. This matter must be investigated thoroughly!
I'm not taking this blame.
"You also asked this humble one to sleep with Young Master Jiang and lend him my clothes."
The lower Shi Yuanqiao spoke, the smaller his voice became. Finally, he simply shut up.
Me: "!"
I never knew when you two slept together?
And it was my idea?
Suddenly, several pictures flashed through my mind, and I closed my open mouth.
Wasn't it just a few friends having fun together during the New - Year's Eve?
How did it turn out to be like this in Shi Yuanqiao's mind?
I thought to myself, I didn't write it like this in the novel either.
5.
Before I could think further, Sister Xiong told me that the director had already communicated.
I just needed to adapt to the situation and not reveal the truth.
I rubbed my temples and said to Shi Yuanqiao:
"If you're obedient and handle this well, I'll give you a proper status when we get back."
Shi Yuanqiao raised his eyes, full of hope. "Really?"
But the next second, he became desolate again. "A concubine will do. The position of the main wife will always belong to Young Master Jiang."
I punched him. "I don't want Jiang Wenzhao. The position of the main wife is yours!"
Shi Yuanqiao looked up in disbelief,
as if he had received an impossible gift. The gloom on his face instantly disappeared.
His shining eyes made my heart skip a beat.
Looking at his flawless face, I suddenly couldn't get angry.
"Okay, be good. Do as I say from now on."
He obediently agreed without any objection.
When it was time, I was about to throw my luggage to him as usual,
but I saw him looking worried, as if he was thinking about something.
Forget it. I'll do it myself.
My delicate and weak concubine can't carry this seven - or eight - pound luggage.
6.
On the bus, Shi Yuanqiao was really obedient and kept quiet.
It's just that his amber eyes would look at me, then at Jiang Wenzhao, and then touch his stomach.
Me: "[…]"
Okay, as long as he doesn't mess things up.
When we arrived at the apartment, the director really handed out a script to each person.
The script handed to us was my novel.
The director winked at me: Don't worry. Leave it to me.
I rolled my eyes: No need!
"In order to let everyone experience the fun of love immersively, we'll follow the scripts we've given you this time."
The director coughed a few times.
"Please take the afternoon to familiarize yourselves with the scripts. Our love journey will officially start tonight!"
There were three real couples and two fake couples in this romance show.
Jiang Wenzhao was playing a fake couple with another female star.
As soon as it was over, he came over.
"Luoluo, you and Brother Shi are really interesting!"
I gave him a disdainful look and asked, "What's your script?"
Jiang Wenzhao blushed and put the script behind his back.
"Nothing!"
Seeing this, I became interested.
I dodged and snatched the script.
Goodness, it's about a female CEO keeping a boy toy.
The director's team is really playing big!
"No wonder you didn't want me to see it, boy toy!"
Jiang Wenzhao snatched the script back and snorted. "Female Emperor, take good care of your pregnant concubine first!"
Then he slipped into the room.
Only then did I remember Shi Yuanqiao.
When I turned around, a desolate picture came into my sight.
Shi Yuanqiao was crying while reading the script.
"We're both stand - ins in this world. Even the child can't keep your heart, dear wife."
7.
I grabbed him and dragged him into the room, pinning him against the wall.
"You still don't trust me?"
In the novel, the female protagonist tortured the male protagonist emotionally in every possible way.
It wasn't until the male protagonist left heart - broken that she realized that the one she loved wasn't the white moonlight but the male protagonist.
Later, she tried desperately to win him back, full of remorse.
But I'm not the female protagonist,
and I don't have a white moonlight!
Damn it! My first love is this crazy guy!
Shi Yuanqiao pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word.
"Now I allow you to speak!"
Why wasn't he so conscious when he was sighing just now?
Shi Yuanqiao lifted his eyelids. His deep eyes reflected my figure.
"Dear wife, you and Young Master Jiang have known each other since childhood. I'm just because my eyes are similar to his that I was favored by you."
"In fact, if you just say the word, I'll leave."
"Just—"
He bit his lip, looking in pain.
"Please don't humiliate me like this!"
