117: Playing a fake game for real
Han Wen certainly has his own understanding and insights into acting. Moreover, it cannot be denied that he also possesses exceptional talent and aptitude.
Unfortunately, he was a reborn individual, with a mindset that was too mature and an experience that was too rich.
This meant that he could never truly become a teenager again. He could never find that naive, bewildered, innocent, impulsive, passionate, arrogant, and lawless feeling he had when he was young and carefree.
After all, flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns!
Han Wen can portray the character Ma Xiaojun, but he can't become that person. He understands this, but that doesn't mean he can do it himself.
Therefore, this also demonstrates how formidable Wang Shuo's writing skills are. Because he brought this character to life, making him flesh and blood, giving him his own life.
Left with no other choice, Han Wen forced himself to forget and force himself to blend in, which truly drove him to a state of near madness.
He recalled the scene and method of Zhang Sanfeng teaching Zhang Wuji Tai Chi in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
Forget what you once had, and allow yourself to be reborn and transformed.
Only in this way can he have a new life, a new destiny, and stop living in the past, walk the path of life again, and be young again.
As time went by, and with each interaction with Teacher Yu—talking about the play, rehearsing, and getting into character—I gradually became more immersed in the role.
Han Wen's acting skills have gradually matured and improved. It's as if he has truly undergone a transformation, becoming a completely different person.
Every time Han Wen gets into character, he transforms himself into Ma Xiaojun, while Teacher Yu, due to her personality, is unable to become Milan.
One person becomes the character, while the other is acting; the difference is like night and day. Even Teacher Yu himself felt somewhat hopeless after watching Han Wen's acting.
When the two of them chose the right time and place, adjusted their mindset, and began to perform the most important scene, Han Wen immediately transformed into an impulsive and crazy young man.
Once his innate wildness and passion were unleashed, he became almost insane.
Looking at the crazed teenager before her, Ms. Yu was terrified. She whispered her alarm and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
"Hanwen, I know you're getting into character," Teacher Yu shouted. "But wake up, let go of me!"
Han Wen didn't wake up, still clinging tightly to the other person's body, panting heavily. A long time passed before he gradually regained his senses and calmed down.
"Is it over? Is it finally over?" Teacher Yu felt like she had a dream, but it wasn't a nightmare.
Because she knew that she had put in so much effort to help Han Wen improve his acting skills, she would naturally receive a corresponding reward. In fact, it might be even more than she had imagined.
Fortunately, Hanwen is handsome and young. Moreover, he is very polite and has excellent character, making him the type of man girls like the most.
The important thing is that he comes from a good family, has a large fortune, and spends money like water. Although my investment this time seems absurd, it can't be considered a loss.
"Teacher Yu, thank you. Without your help, my acting skills wouldn't have improved so much." Han Wen looked at the other person quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled.
Although she wasn't the heroine of his dreams, she was still his "fairy." If he didn't have a chance, fine; but if he had and missed it, would he even be a man?
"Hanwen, is this how you thank me?" Teacher Yu retorted, unable to articulate her true feelings. "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come tonight, and I certainly shouldn't have agreed to your request. You've taken this for granted; how am I supposed to cope now?"
"What, you don't like it?" Han Wen asked with a smile. "If you didn't like it, how could the two of us have actually been together just now?"
Teacher Yu, I am truly grateful to you and like you very much. That's why I couldn't help myself and couldn't control myself. So, I hope you can forgive my recklessness and misbehavior.
This is a very precious, beautiful, and happy memory for me, and I will cherish it forever. I hope you won't forget it either.
"Hanwen, I think I'll never forget what happened tonight." Teacher Yu sighed, looking down, unsure whether her choice and actions this time were right or wrong.
Fortunately, she really had been preparing to study abroad. After that, the two of them, on opposite sides of the ocean, probably wouldn't have the chance to meet or spend time together again: "But, things really shouldn't be like this between us. It's pointless, you know?"
"Teacher Yu, I'm really happy to hear you say that. As for what will happen in the future, no one can predict it."
It would be best if we were destined to be together, but it doesn't matter if we aren't. As long as you don't resent or hate me, everything is fine.
You should rest well first, and then we'll go out together.
"You've given so much tonight. I'm not a heartless, ungrateful person; I must repay you tenfold." Han Wen said gently, with a touch of heartache, "You are my woman, and I am your man. There's no need for formalities between us; please don't refuse my good intentions."
"Hanwen, there's no rush." Teacher Yu blushed, feeling awkward, and didn't dare to look at Hanwen. "I appreciate your kindness, but is this still not enough?"
"I treat you this way because I like you. How can you refuse my kindness?" Han Wen smiled, secretly pleased. "Even though you're my teacher, you still need to listen to me on some things in the future, understand?"
"Han Wen, you're really domineering. I'm your teacher, why should I listen to you?" Teacher Yu shook her head, refusing to agree, and snorted, "Even if I were your woman now, I wouldn't listen to you in everything. I'm not some submissive little girl who obeys your every whim, don't be delusional."
"Okay, I understand." Han Wen nodded. "From now on, I will definitely respect you very much, okay?"
"That's more like it." Teacher Yu nodded, somewhat pleased. "Han Wen, remember what you told me, you can't go back on your word."
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I'm a man, and I never break my promise." Han Wen nodded and helped Teacher Yu up. "As long as you're willing to forgive me, I'll agree to anything you ask. Even marriage, taking you as my wife, is no problem."
"I will never marry you, I don't want to be your wife." Teacher Yu shook her head and explained, "I have my own ideals and pursuits, and I have also made plans to go abroad. Even if you try to persuade me to stay, it will be of no use."
"Okay, I understand. Then let's cherish our time and each other, and make the most of this wonderful time together." Han Wen nodded, sighed, and said with some regret, "Because once you really go abroad, we'll never have the chance to see each other again or spend time together."
"Okay," Teacher Yu thought for a moment before nodding.
