Chapter 1836 - 759: Forbidden Love (Part 2)

Chapter 1836: Chapter 759: Forbidden Love (Part 2)

Especially during the bed scene between the two men, Xu Wanting screamed several times. Ji Xiaoxi also felt her face flush and her heart race; she never expected the film to be so bold. But at this moment, the advantage of dim lighting became apparent, because she knew that no one nearby could clearly see her expression, so Ji Xiaoxi didn’t pretend to cover her face and watched the entire scene.

As the story unfolded, because the King of Goryeo didn’t like women, he had no heirs. The ministers began to panic, and to consolidate the throne, the King of Goryeo had to rack his brains to come up with a plan.

Then, at that moment, his second wave of brain-freezing actions for Zhou Wang appeared.

He actually had his childhood friend, who was simultaneously his lover and the Captain Goryeo, secretly go after his Princess, portrayed by Song Jihyo as the Peace Princess, in order to bear an offspring.

But at this point, Zhou Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, so it was a story about a forbidden love triangle... now it made sense.

This was the plot he’d heard of!

When the first scene arrived, when the blanket was lifted from Song Jihyo, and they discovered she was truly wearing nothing underneath, and when the movie perfectly recreated this moment, it was the two girls’ turn for their brains to freeze.

What the heck... could this be filmed?

That was Song Jihyo!

In the men’s scene earlier, although it was also somewhat indecent, the director’s technique was still subtle. But here, it was straight-up direct.

Xu Wanting’s eyes widened; she only now realized what kind of hidden gem films these "exclusive private screenings" were.

She turned to glance at Yang Hao, noticing the mischievous grin on his face but not much surprise. She instantly understood that Yang Hao had already seen this movie; she blushed and hit him lightly.

"You tease, you knew yet didn’t warn me!"

"Heh, we’re all adults. What’s this kind of plot anyway? Besides, wasn’t it you all who decided to watch this..."

Yang Hao, while expressing his innocence, lightly coughed and naturally pulled the half-reclined Xu Wanting over.

Xu Wanting scolded him a few times, but in the end, she couldn’t break free, and then both of them fell silent, seemingly engrossed in the movie plot again.

Though, upon closer observation, you could see Yang Hao’s hands being sneaky, disappearing somewhere unknown.

Zhou Wang glanced at the shameless couple before turning his gaze back. Now the intriguing part was, even though they realized this movie was "problematic," no one suggested picking a different one.

Including Ji Xiaoxi next to Zhou Wang; whether she was stunned by the visuals or not, she remained motionless for a long time.

She just sat rigidly, motionless. Zhou Wang could vaguely see the flutter of her side-profile’s eyelashes, indicating her inner turmoil, yet she never shifted her gaze away.

Zhou Wang chuckled to himself, considering Ji Xiaoxi’s strict family upbringing; this must be the first time she watched an 18+ rated film, and there’s no way her heart wouldn’t be shocked.

Zhou Wang quickly returned his attention to the movie.

To speak the truth, the movie is actually pretty well-made, and a 7.1 on Douban is a high score many domestic films can’t reach... although many went to see Song Jihyo when it premiered.

It was around 08 or 09, precisely when Song Jihyo was at her peak fame thanks to variety shows, and the viewership in Korea reached 3.7 million.

Considering Korea’s small size and the age restrictions, this number of viewers was already quite an impressive feat, almost akin to "blockbuster success."

Speaking of which, last time Zhou Wang visited Korea, he saw Song Jihyo at the YG Banquet. But that evening, there were so many Korean stars present that most only exchanged greetings and moved on. Zhou Wang didn’t pay particular attention then.

After all, now Song Jihyo is over forty, though still charming, she’s no longer in her youthful beauty prime.

During Zhou Wang’s occasional daydreams, the movie quickly reached its end, and as he expected, it concluded with an inevitable "BE," a bad ending.

In the Princess’s presence, the two men in love and conflict ultimately fell together in a pool of blood... thus, the movie concluded.

The intelligent lights in the room brightened a bit, and there Xu Wanting and Yang Hao quickly separated somewhat, yet Zhou Wang keenly sensed their lingering expressions.

Isn’t this exciting enough already?

Zhou Wang inwardly despised that shameless pair once more; only when his gaze shifted to Ji Xiaoxi did he pause in surprise.

"Are you crying?"

Zhou Wang asked softly, noticing Ji Xiaoxi’s red eyes and visible tear stains.

Ji Xiaoxi snapped awake, hastily lowering her head to cover her embarrassment. Fortunately, Xu Wanting was not paying attention to her, eager to pick up the remote and start searching for another movie in the "Immortal Beauty exclusive" list.

Ji Xiaoxi didn’t answer Zhou Wang, only huddling herself and retreating to the furthest end of the tatami mat.

Zhou Wang thought for a moment and quickly realized what was going on; Ji Xiaoxi was emotionally stirred by the movie, somewhat emotionally resonating?

Because the real love story in the movie was actually the story between the captain and the Princess, and the Princess was initially used as a tool, obviously unwilling, at that time, she was still in love with the King.

So, in the King’s order, the first time they... did it, the Princess was full of humiliation and cried.

But afterward, the originally lonely Princess gradually developed feelings, transitioning from passive at first to enjoying it later, and ultimately seeking it actively at the end. Hmm... a classic inner transformation, a type of plot that Japan loves to shoot, but with more artistic elements in this film.

Upon further reflection, the Princess’s inner transformation seemed to fit quite well with Ji Xiaoxi?

It’s also a kind of "love triangle," initially unwilling, then involuntarily immersed, and that night at Beidu Heavenly Palace KTV, it was Ji Xiaoxi who took the initiative to make the call...

With this in mind, Zhou Wang understood why Ji Xiaoxi was shedding tears.

Her real-life experience was far more surreal than the movie.

As Zhou Wang drifted in thought, Xu Wanting had already started playing the second film, and the room returned to darkness.

"Midnight in Paris? This movie is even wilder; this woman really isn’t afraid to play anything..."

Zhou Wang muttered, glancing up to see Xu Wanting cozying up with Yang Hao again, creating a clear distance from here, prompting him to quietly move back as well.

Feeling emotional in the dark, Ji Xiaoxi sensed Zhou Wang was getting closer to her, and unable to break free from her emotions, she became panicked, wanting to resist yet couldn’t help but feel a desire.

Ji Xiaoxi dared not speak, shaking her head furiously in the darkness as if trying to stop Zhou Wang.

But how could Zhou Wang care about her tiny gestures? Within a second or two, he was beside her, wrapping his arm around her slim waist without hesitation.

In that moment of physical contact, both bodies trembled simultaneously.

At the same time, Zhou Wang heard a system notification—

Ping!
