Chapter 15 Who said this divination was inaccurate? She felt unprecedentedly depressed...

"It's a circuit failure. It can be repaired in about an hour. We just need to wait here." Gu Zhi hung up the phone.

"Who said this divination is inaccurate? It's so accurate!" Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Fortunately, only the Ferris wheel was out of service. I was worried that something more serious might happen—"

"For example, a plane crash, falling off a cliff, an elevator rapidly falling..." Gu Zhi looked as if he was still frightened.

Jiang Ziyi: ...You are worrying too much.

The sun has set, the temperature in the cabin is getting lower and lower, and the camera equipment above the two people's heads has been completely shut down.

Jiang Ziyi's nose was red from the cold, and Gu Zhi immediately unbuttoned his coat.

"No, no, no, I feel cold too when I see you are cold." Jiang Ziyi waved his hands quickly.

Gu Zhi sat down next to her naturally and wrapped the dark wool scarf around her neck twice.

Their heads were close together, like two squirrels huddled together for the winter.

"How's your work lately?" Gu Zhi continued the previous topic.

"I'm not very busy. I just have a fairy tale drama that's about to be aired. I play a female devil in it, called..."

"The Heart Devouring Demon, Liu Qingzhou."

"Then a while ago, a movie about the Republic of China was just finished, and my role was a Kuomintang spy..."

"Deputy Director of the Security Bureau, Zhao Tunan."

Jiang Ziyi: How do you know it so clearly?

"It's a pity that they are all villains." Gu Zhi said, Jiang Ziyi can obviously play any role well.

"Some of the performances are pretty good, there's nothing to pick and choose." Jiang Ziyi exhaled a puff of white air.

The first role she got after graduating from the Film Academy was a vicious female supporting role. Later, she had to go into court with her biological parents. She was also repeatedly exposed for false information that the crew bullied and oppressed newcomers. In addition, she was accused of "seducing" Gu Zhiying to marry at a young age. She became notorious and her acting career became increasingly narrow.

Nowadays, they are either competing with the female lead for the man, or bullying the male lead because he is young and poor. They are responsible for at least three or four deaths in one drama. In the movies, they are even more evil and conscienceless, and the audiences would follow them to the Big Eyes Forum and scold them for half a month.

Black and red are also red, Jiang Ziyi has gotten used to it.

"But after participating in this variety show, my reputation has improved a lot. Maybe I will receive invitations from positive roles again soon." She comforted him casually.

"That's good." Gu Zhi said nonchalantly.

Wait... Jiang Ziyi's mind became clearer as the cold wind from a hundred meters above the ground. She recalled Gu Zhi's performance in the previous episodes and suddenly realized something.

"One of the reasons you participated in "Break Up Lovers" was not to whitewash me, right?"

"No." Gu Zhi played dumb.

"In the first episode, you brought the topic to Robert, saying that I was tough on the outside but soft on the inside and was good to the dog."

"In the second episode, you lied to the audience and said that I made breakfast. You also mentioned my arts exam to overturn the bullying incident of that year and nailed Zhou Shengsheng to the point." Jiang Ziyi counted on his fingers.

"In the third episode, I planned a date with you. It was a few degrees below zero. I dragged you to the top of a mountain to watch the stars even though you hadn't even had dinner yet. You even pretended to be extremely satisfied."

"I'm not pretending." Gu Zhi pleaded for justice. He really had a very happy day that day.

"Don't even mention the fourth episode. You've said so many good things about me in a roundabout way!" The more Jiang Ziyi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"My agent doesn't worry so much about my image!" She pushed him speechlessly.

"I just want the whole world to know how good you are." Gu Zhi buried his chin in his scarf.

It's not enough for him to know it alone.

Jiang Ziyi tried to express his protest by turning his back to him.

But because the space was small and the two of them were wearing the same scarf, she couldn't move halfway through the turn.

Gu Zhi's lips brushed across the back of her neck, and Jiang Ziyi's fur stood up.

“…I really didn’t mean it.” His eyes were a little moist.

Gu Zhi's body temperature was very high. Jiang Ziyi had a one-sided cold war with him for a while and soon fell drowsy.

Her head sank slowly, bit by bit, into the soft cashmere.

Gu Zhi poked her forehead lightly with his finger, held her with his left shoulder, and then closed his eyes with satisfaction.

"Mom, look at me!" Xiao Jiang ran breathlessly.

She picked up a huge fallen leaf from the sidewalk by the river. It was bright red and shaped like half a five-pointed star.

Lin Shuyao walked in silence, her out-of-season sandals dragging harshly on the stone tiles.

Jiang Ziyi immediately realized that she was not happy.

"Mom, I got 95 points in the final math exam, the director praised me again yesterday, and the makeup artist even treated me to wedding candy..." Jiang Ziyi dumped out all the things that could make her happy.

"Mom?" Jiang Ziyi followed Lin Shuyao with some difficulty.

"Mom, this leaf is for you, I..." Jiang Ziyi bumped into Lin Shuyao's back, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom!" She rubbed her red nose and hurriedly raised a smile.

"Mom, where are we going?"

Lin Shuyao turned around and held Jiang Ziyi's hand. Her eyes were as silent as a lonely grave.

Jiang Ziyi was led by her to the river beach.

"Mom?" It was cold by the river. Jiang Ziyi tried to break free from her hand, but Lin Shuyao held her tightly. The river water soaked Jiang Ziyi's shoes and socks, and the severe cold penetrated into her bones.

Lin Shuyao continued to walk towards the center of the river. She seemed to be isolated in another world. No matter how Jiang Ziyi struggled and shouted, she remained unmoved.

Jiang Ziyi's skirt became heavier and heavier.

The ink-like water surface silently accepted her.

Jiang Ziyi began to sink.

————————————————————

"Ziyi, wake up." Gu Zhi said softly.

Jiang Ziyi covered his eyes in the bright light.

She felt lower than ever.

"You two finally came down," Du Xiaofang and Yu Huating came forward to greet them.

Jiang Ziyi raised her eyelids weakly, her head still resting on Gu Zhi's shoulder, feeling heavy as if it were filled with lead.

"Let's go straight back to the villa." Gu Zhi carefully protected her neck.

[Oh my god, Jiang Ziyi looks so bad]

[Is it too cold or are you afraid of heights? ]

[It doesn’t feel like that…]

[She has been dozing off since she got off the pod]

[It’s my fault, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have thrown the Ferris wheel! ]

[I never thought this would happen... This is the first accident since the opening of Yamashiro Amusement Park]

[Lilith Staro is a bit scary]

[I heard that many celebrities ask her to tell their fortunes]

[Stop pointing the camera at Jiang Ziyi, it makes people feel so distressed...]

[Gu Zhi has already stretched out his hand to block it]

[What’s wrong with her? Is she pretending?]

[Your lips are all white, why don’t you try pretending to have one? ]

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Gu Zhi smoothed her hair with concern.

"No need, it will be fine after a while." Jiang Ziyi knew what was going on with him.

"Have you seen the trending searches? Zhou Shengsheng just made a clarification on live broadcast, but he was attacked by Ziyi's fans in less than five minutes. Now he has cleared all his accounts. He deserves it!" Yu Huating tried to make Jiang Ziyi happy.

"How can a person be so cruel? He is so hypocritical at such a young age. I want to reach out through the screen and slap him." Du Xiaofang was indignant.

“……” Luo Pan pushed a cup of warm water onto the coffee table in front of her.

"Thank you everyone, I can take my time." Jiang Ziyi said in a muffled voice.

The program team’s arrangement for tonight is to let the guests talk to their families.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was a little girl with a high ponytail.

She has very bright eyes and a smooth forehead, and looks very intelligent.

"Huahua~How was your day? Are you tired from doing homework?" Director Yu asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's okay, but copying ancient poems is too troublesome. I have clearly memorized them long ago. Alas! The teacher really doesn't know how to adapt." Huahua sighed deeply.

"Being able to memorize does not necessarily mean you can write it. Copying it several times can deepen your memory." Du Xiaofang's voice was gentle yet stern.

"That makes sense," Huahua nodded. "Dad, why did you tell Sister Ziyi and the others about my writing fan fiction?" she asked, her hands on her hips.

"I just want everyone to know that you write well." Yu Huating, who had been so confident before, finally felt guilty.

"I didn't write it well enough. I don't want so many people to know about it, and I don't want to put pressure on Sister Ziyi and Brother Guzhi," Huahua criticized him seriously. "Their relationship is their own business. I'm just a bystander. At most... at most I can fantasize about it."

"In summary, I decided to deduct one point from you." Huahua quickly made a few notes on her notebook.

"What kind of score is this?" Du Xiaofang asked puzzledly.

"I'm grading your guardianship abilities," Huahua pushed up the nonexistent glasses on her nose, "When you two get divorced, I'll go with whoever has the higher score."

! ! ! Yu Huating was deeply shocked.

"Mom, I'll also deduct one point," Huahua enforced the law impartially, "I do have a lot of extracurricular classes, and I don't have time to hang out with my friends."

"You are all at the same starting point now, so you all need to strive to perform well. Do you understand?" As soon as she finished speaking, she simply cut off the video.

The couple sat up straight at the same time.

Next up are Gu Zhi's two family members.

"Don't worry," Li Aomei said, feeling distressed. "If it doesn't work, let's not record it. Let's go to bed early, okay?"

"What did you do, little brat?" Gu Weizhen was anxious and could only point the finger at his son. "Your live broadcast has been missing for more than 40 minutes. Did you secretly bully Yi Yi when no one else was watching?"

"No, uncle, it's not his fault," Jiang Ziyi explained weakly, "I just suddenly felt uncomfortable myself."

"Why don't you give him a couple of punches first? Every time I beat my wife up, I feel much better." Gu Weizhen said proudly.

"Don't make trouble." Li Aomei gave him a slap on the face as he wished.

Jiang Ziyi felt as if there were transparent, airtight walls erected all around her. The voices in her ears gradually faded away and her vision became blurred.

She began to understand why Lin Shuyao took her into the river.

Now she just wanted to find a place to sink.

Into a darkness deeper than death.

And this time, even Gu Zhi couldn't save her.
