Chapter 465 - 462: Best Actress 29
She smiled and asked the people in front of her, "Why can everyone else have an ordinary life, and I cannot? I just want a home where I’m not beaten or scolded, where I don’t have to watch my parents fight in fear. I just want a warm, argument-free home. Why is that not possible? If my parents can’t provide it, I’ll have my own children and be my own mom to create a home. Why can’t I do that? Are my demands really so extravagant?"
The confusion on the girl’s face was genuine. She truly didn’t understand. She didn’t ask to be a millionaire, nor to be breathtakingly beautiful, only for a warm, ordinary, and even if not wealthy, a home. Why was it so difficult?
No one could answer the girl’s questions. Although many of her values were incorrect, it wasn’t her fault. Without waiting for an answer, and not caring for one, she looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "I am about to be liberated; nothing matters anymore."
With the last lingering sound, the girl unhesitatingly took a leap. The dress she wore fluttered like a butterfly as she fell to the ground, her face deathly calm, clearly without any longing for life.
Meng Meiqi’s heart had been tightly clenched ever since the girl’s child fell ill. As she watched the girl’s most heart-wrenching scene of jumping off a building, her eyes heated up and she couldn’t help but shed tears for this rebellious girl who only longed for the most ordinary warmth.
This initially unlikable female lead completely came to life under Ning Shuangshuang’s portrayal. Growing up amidst domestic violence, with a skewed temperament and worldview, yet this girl’s heart, no matter how twisted, yearned for warmth. However, fate had doomed her life to tragedy from the start.
Meng Meiqi cried uncontrollably, and her husband, crying and laughing, tried to comfort her, but he couldn’t console the incessantly crying Meng Meiqi.
Meng Meiqi’s husband even heard the faint cries of many girls and the helpless voices of boyfriends comforting them coming from the seats around them. The girls mumbled how the female lead could be so miserable, so heartbreaking, hoping someone could give her a warm home.
Fortunately, at this moment, the end credits finished, and the easter egg began. The girl didn’t die, her parents repented, and together with her boyfriend, they returned to school with her parents’ support, then became white-collar workers, got married, and had children, ending in a big happy reunion.
Meng Meiqi’s husband quickly urged her to watch the movie’s easter egg, but unfortunately, Meng Meiqi still gasped through her tears, saying, "These, hiccup, are all deceitful. The front part is the real ending. This happy ending easter egg is just for those who don’t like tragedies. It’s all fake, hiccup, fake."
After crying uncontrollably in the cinema, once she got home, Meng Meiqi went online and started writing a lengthy movie review. In the review, she elaborated on the harms of domestic violence, praised Li Bo’an’s yet another soul-stirring masterpiece, and shared her own silly experience of crying like a fool in the cinema.
Of course, Meng Meiqi couldn’t help but brag about her idol Ning Shuangshuang’s superb acting skills, portraying both a strong female general and a desperate girl filled with despair. She was truly a versatile queen, and fanning her was one of the best decisions of her life.
