Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 343 - 189 Goddess

"It’s nothing, just compliments about how handsome you are or something like that."

"Okay, I’ll go to the cinema and wait for you."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Shu Wan got ready to leave, but the colleagues from the crew who were about to depart suddenly returned, "Shu Wan, we just remembered that ’Netherworld Ring’ is premiering tonight. Let’s go watch it together, yeah?"

Shu Wan was taken aback.

At that moment, Wang Tian also joined in, "Right!! It’s the movie premiere day. Let’s go together – there’s a cinema right next to the mall."

"Let’s go, let’s go."

The colleagues enthusiastically surrounded Shu Wan, tugging her towards the direction of the mall, and for a while, she couldn’t find an opportunity to take out her phone to notify Fu Siyu.

The colleagues meant well, making it hard for Shu Wan to refuse, so she ended up going along with everyone to the cinema.

By this time, the movie was about to start soon, and the lights inside the cinema had dimmed.

The group walked in and gave Shu Wan the best seats in the middle, "Here, sit here. This is your movie, so you should have the best spot to watch it."

It was hard to see around the theater, and it was only when the big screen lit up that they could barely make out who was sitting beside them. Therefore, nobody noticed that right next to the seat they saved for Shu Wan was Fu Siyu.

However, the instant Shu Wan got close, she detected him because of the cool fragrance of sandalwood.

Shu Wan intuitively turned her head and her eyes met Fu Siyu’s deep gaze, just as the big screen lit up, igniting a twin set of lights in his eyes.

He seemed to smile briefly, then turned his attention back toward the big screen.

"Shu Wan, quickly sit down, it’s about to start."

After the colleagues settled down and saw Shu Wan standing still, they called out to her.

"Okay."

Shu Wan sat down, with Fu Siyu on her left and a colleague from the crew on her right.

Even though these were all perfectly normal relationships, probably because everyone knew Fu Siyu and also knew her, but they would have never guessed she was the wife of Fu Siyu from the legends, Shu Wan felt a subtle tension sitting between them.

Luckily, her colleagues knew Shu Wan wasn’t much for small talk, and Fu Siyu quietly watched the screen. She put on her glasses and focused intently on the big screen, trying to dismiss that odd sensation inside her mind.

The plot of "Netherworld Ring" is actually quite straightforward: the protagonist gets swept into a conspiracy, embarks on a grand adventure, and ultimately obtains the ring left behind by the lord of the Netherworld, successfully saving the world.

This kind of world-saving movie is produced en masse by the West every year.

Yet great directors can always turn the most common stories into films with dramatic ups and downs, telling the story through the camera, drawing audiences into that fantastical world.

Shu Wan had always been aware of the existence of cinemas, including one in the Estate, but she felt that the effect was similar to that of television: just a big screen with good audio.

But actually sitting in this sort of mega-screen cinema, watching a movie like "Netherworld Ring" with powerful special effects and listening to the 3D surround sound was when Shu Wan realized there was a significant difference.

As Shu Wan experienced the fantastical movie imagery, she constantly analyzed Director Mei Long’s filming techniques in her head; the director’s control over each shot was truly impeccable.

While Shu Wan was completely immersed in the movie world, unaware of anything around her, her hand suddenly felt the touch of something warm.

Shu Wan turned her head and saw Fu Siyu holding a cup of milk tea at her side. She then turned to look at Fu Siyu, who still seemed to be looking straight ahead, as if he had not noticed Shu Wan at all.

Shu Wan reached out to take the milk tea, but the cinema was dark, and she was worried that the cup might be too hot. She carefully reached out and ended up holding Fu Siyu’s hand.

Fu Siyu’s arm tensed slightly for a moment, then relaxed. He thoughtfully placed the cup on the railing for Shu Wan to take, and then he withdrew his hand.

"Thank you."

Shu Wan murmured softly before taking the milk tea and sipping it in small, careful gulps.

Fu Siyu knew her taste well—just one-third sweet with a hint of fragrance wafting through, in the confined and dark space, it felt like more than just a beverage; it brought a touch of tender, full-bodied comfort.

As Shu Wan drank milk tea and watched the movie, Fu Siyu occasionally passed her a snack—sometimes popcorn, sometimes fried chicken, sometimes cotton candy—such a wide variety that Shu Wan wondered if he had an entire snack stand beside him.

When the film reached an exciting battle scene, an exuberant colleague turned to her, "The special effects are so well done, so thrilling. It has to be a Director Mei Long’s movie. Hey, where did you get that milk tea?"

Caught off guard, Shu Wan tightened up inside. Before she could answer, her colleague already realized, "Oh, it must be Wang Lili who brought it for you. When you said no earlier, I thought you were on a diet and wouldn’t drink it. What flavor is it? Is it good?"

"It seems to be rose-flavored, pretty nice."

"Right," as the movie got more exciting, the colleague asked casually and then dropped the subject, merely sniffing, "Who’s eating fried chicken here? It smells so good. If I had known, we should have bought some to eat too."

At that moment, another piece of candy was stealthily passed into the palm of Shu Wan’s left hand by Fu Siyu.

Shu Wan’s eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously pursed her lips, "Mm."

As time progressed, the movie was nearing its end, and Shu Wan had not yet appeared.

Her colleagues were somewhat anxious for her, since the final version of the movie could differ significantly from the promotional one, and Shu Wan’s scenes might well have been cut before the official release.

In truth, as a bit player, it was normal for her scenes to be cut from a Mei Long film; being kept in the final cut would be the real surprise.

Primary concern arose because Shu Wan’s popularity was on the rise, and the news about her participating in a Mei Long film had already been released. If her scenes were cut now, Shu Wan would certainly face endless ridicule.

Just then, on screen, the protagonists traversed the vast seas and towering mountains. After enduring a devastating blizzard, they suddenly broke into a place so beautiful it seemed like a fairyland.

"This place is so beautiful, could this be the witch’s Eastern paradise as she mentioned?"

"It’s so fragrant here. Why can we see big stars during the day? Hey, look, there seems to be someone over there."

Following his gaze, the camera panned, and the first thing to appear on screen was a dazzling hem filled with a colorful glow.

Adorned with mountains and rivers, the Milky Way and galaxies, tiny dots of light twinkled within it, dazzlingly beautiful.

The camera gradually moved upward, revealing a face so stunning that heaven and earth seemed to pale in comparison. The shock from her attire was immediately forgotten, for the gentle and accepting gaze in her eyes made one forget everything and become immersed solely in them.

"I know why you are here."

The woman’s voice was soft, a whisper, yet the surrounding mountains seemed to hum along.

"Take it."

With a gentle sigh, the Goddess’s eyes slightly closed, her figure began to turn translucent, and, in a short while, she melted into the landscape. At the same time, a transparent bead stood suspended in midair.

Those who knew films were aware that Shu Wan’s role was not central—merely a plot device for the protagonists.

But her breathtaking beauty and unparalleled presence had the effect of making her seem like the living embodiment of the Eastern Goddess herself.

"So beautiful!! Shu Wan, you’re definitely going to be a star!!"

Her colleague exclaimed in awe. Everyone knew Shu Wan was attractive, but to bedazzle as the Goddess to such perfect, seamless embodiment, even these seasoned actors found themselves being drawn into the illusion with her.

"Thank you." Shu Wan nodded towards her colleagues.

The story continued, and as the movie entered its final stage, everyone’s attention returned to the screen.

Shu Wan also wanted to keep watching, but a sudden warm breath brushed her ear, and Fu Siyu’s voice whispered close, "Very beautiful."
