The spectacular journey to form the group has come to an end, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content at the final celebration banquet.
That evening, Jiang Yixing left with his suitcase.
It wasn't her who was in a hurry, but the production team. They heard that the houses here were going to be demolished in a few days, and the contestants would have to move to a new place as soon as they woke up tomorrow.
I finally returned to my little nest, where everything was quiet.
Jiang Yixing lay flat on the sofa, and could see the night sky through the glass window of the living room. It was so dark that the stars were no longer visible due to the excessive light pollution, with only a few scattered lights shining.
I miss Ronghang a little.
As this thought crossed Jiang Yixing's mind, his phone, which was placed beside him, vibrated the next second.
Jiang Yixing reached out and saw that the sender's name was the familiar Rong Hang.
Rong Hang sent her two photos.
One photo shows him sitting among a group of women, staring blankly at the camera, while the women around him are all smiling kindly. The one closest to him is Rong Hang's mother.
The other picture is of the qingtuan itself. The grass in the picture hasn't grown very big, but it's lush and green, and looks quite healthy.
Jiang Yixing zoomed in on the first photo and saw the utterly dejected expression on Rong Hang's face. A slight smile crept onto his lips.
Rong Hang: "This morning I went to a party with my mom. I was the only man there. They were eating a really sweet dessert that I think you would like. I wrote down the name of the shop so we can go together next time."
Rong Hang: "I came back this afternoon and read a book for a while, and watered the qingtuan. The qingtuan is very disobedient, flying around everywhere, probably because it misses you."
Rong Hang: "I watched 'Youthful Poetry' tonight, and you look really good today."
A few simple sentences briefly described Rong Hang's day, which seemed rather uninteresting, but Jiang Yixing read it with great interest.
Rong Hang is trying to live alone.
Jiang Yixing felt a mixture of happiness and bitterness in her heart.
Longing transforms into a silent, insidious poison that seeps into the very core of my being.
Jiang Yixing typed on her phone: "I spent the whole day recording the show and witnessed them grow from green to mature. We had a celebration party tonight, and everyone was very happy. The night is dark tonight, and I can't see the stars clearly, but I'm in a good mood."
When Rong Hang pressed the send button, the screen of his phone, which he had been holding, lit up.
Rong Hang carefully read each word, his fingertips tracing the characters.
"That's excellent."
Just as Rong Hang sent those four words, another message from Jiang Yixing arrived simultaneously.
"By the way, I've received a new movie script, directed by He Mang. I really like this script."
Rong Hang froze.
Rong Hang's hands trembled slightly.
He Mang...is it a movie starring He Mang?
Rong Hang began to probe indirectly, "Have you already confirmed your role?"
Jiang Yixing: "Hmm, it's a very good script. But filming will probably take a long time to start, we haven't secured any investment yet, and we haven't cast any actors besides myself."
Why did they decide to cast Jiang Yixing before anything else was finalized?
Rong Hang sensed a sense of crisis, lowered his long eyes, and concealed the emotions in them.
As night deepened, the moon hung high in the sky.
Jiang Yixing: "Getting ready for bed, goodnight."
Rong Hang: "Okay, goodnight."
Seemingly finding the ending rather cold, Rong Hang carefully selected from his collection of emojis, choosing one that was ingratiating yet not overly obsequious, and sent it to Jiang Yixing.
Jiang Yixing smiled again after receiving it.
—————————————————————————
Aside from He Mang's new movie, Jiang Yixing hasn't taken on any other assignments lately, and she's been resting at home for two days.
Rong Hang would report his whereabouts to him every day.
For example, yesterday he practiced archery with Rongyuan, the day before yesterday he went horse racing with Rongwei, and this morning he went back to the old house to have tea with Rong Chengzhang.
Jiang Yixing's daily task is to review Rong Hang's report essays and exercise her physique, because she is playing an ancient woman in the new movie. Although as a peasant woman, her figure may not be very good, the script requires her to be thin, very thin.
Therefore, Jiang Yixing needs to lose even more weight than before.
I got up and washed up as usual today, checked my phone, and saw if Ronghang had sent me any messages.
But then a phone call came in.
Jiang Yixing looked at the caller ID with some surprise.
"Ji Fu?"
After Ji Fu refined the substitute for his original body, his mind returned to that of an adult, and he no longer had to ask her about everything as before.
The two had not been in contact for some time since their last meeting.
Jiang Yixing already had a guess in his mind as to why Ji Fu had called.
As expected, Ji Fu got straight to the point: "There's progress on crossing the barrier to the Immortal Realm."
Jiang Yixing felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. She calculated the time and, according to the flow of time in the Immortal Realm, it shouldn't have been long since she passed away.
Jiang Yixing: "How exactly do you mean it?"
Ji Fu: "It needs to be done in conjunction with the weak points in the space. There's a high probability that it won't go wrong, but the spatial rift can't be maintained for too long. If you want to come back, you must return within half an hour. If it takes too long, I can't guarantee its stability."
Half an hour... that's really short, but Jiang Yixing understood that it was already quite an achievement to find a way to get there. She thanked Ji Fu and made an appointment with him.
Putting down his phone, Jiang Yixing stared blankly at the room.
Although she is a spirit here, that other world is also very familiar to her. There are her sect, her master, and her fellow disciples. Her maturity and growth in life occurred there.
Jiang Yixing felt a sense of panic.
Rong Hang has been staying in the old house for the past two days, and like Rong Chengzhang, he has been holding a cup of green tea, taking a sip and savoring it.
The butler across the way smiled broadly upon seeing this and bowed to the lady, saying, "The young master is becoming more and more like the master."
Jin Yuzhen smiled too, a happy smile on her face, "How could a father and son not look alike!"
At that moment, Rong Hang seemed to suddenly receive a voice message from someone, which he put to his ear to listen to.
Jin Yuzhen took a bite of the special slightly sweet dessert, her eyes brimming with smiles.
Everyone was shocked when Rong Hang said he needed to take a break to spend time with his family.
At first, they didn't think Rong Hang genuinely wanted to spend time with his family; instead, they assumed he had suffered some setback in his career. However, after making numerous inquiries, they couldn't find any indication of any such setback.
Rong Hang's career path was almost smooth sailing. He achieved what others could never achieve in their entire lives right from the start, and he didn't encounter any unspoken rules or unfair treatment, leaving the Rong family completely baffled.
Rong Yuan and Rong Wei, both very busy people, took a day off to come back and keep Rong Hang company, trying to find out what was wrong with him.
