Su Jin seemed to have not eaten his cooking in a long time, and she ate without even looking up.
Feeling a burning gaze, Su Jin looked up and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
Gu Xingze smiled even more broadly, "It's okay, I have surgery tomorrow and can't eat."
"Appendicitis surgery isn't a major operation..."
After Su Jin finished speaking, she felt guilty for eating so heartily in front of someone who couldn't eat.
"Or I can take it to the guest room to eat, that way you won't find it too tempting."
Gu Xingze stopped her, "No need, I like watching you eat."
What kind of quirks/hobbies?
Su Jin quickly finished her meal, wiped her mouth, and said, "Thank you for the treat."
"Don't be so formal... You can come anytime if you want to eat my cooking."
Su Jin burped twice. "Who keeps running back to their ex-husband after a divorce? I don't want to be that kind of person who's still hung up on their past relationship."
Gu Xingze rested his chin on his hand and sighed, "Sigh, they just ate the food I made. They really don't recognize me after they've done their job."
Su Jin blushed, her tone both unreasonable and defiant, "Didn't you ask me to come?"
Gu Xingze dared not anger her, so he quickly took the blame upon himself, "It's all because of me. Look how thin you've become. You must not have been eating properly."
Su Jin looked at herself strangely. Where had she lost weight?
She can withdraw 2 million yuan in cash so easily; her physical strength is truly impressive.
"Okay, I'm going back now."
Gu Xingze stood up anxiously, "Didn't we say we'd go back tomorrow?"
“Who told you to go back tomorrow? Didn’t you say that? I don’t live at my ex-husband’s house.”
Every time she mentioned that name, Gu Xingze felt a pang of pain in his heart.
It was as if it were announcing to him.
See? This is the result of your actions.
She's now my ex-husband.
"Okay, goodbye."
"Bye-Bye."
...
Early in the morning, Su Jin was woken up by a phone call once again.
"Still sleeping? Even if the sky were to fall and the earth were to crack, you'd still need to sleep."
Lin Shi's loud and outspoken voice is extremely penetrating.
Su Jin rubbed her eyes. "You have no idea how tired I was yesterday."
Lin Shi chuckled and said, "Yeah, it's quite tiring, having to choose between two men."
Su Jin's brain is completely blank; how could she know? The police probably won't release the details of the case.
"How could you..."
"You want to ask me how I know? Go online and see, it's been going viral."
Su Jin frowned and opened Weibo. There was a video posted by someone, showing the scene from yesterday, filmed from a third-person perspective.
"No...who did it? Could it have been the kidnappers?"
Is that what they're after?
Is this really not a trailer for a new movie?
Her life is truly legendary...
[In a classic two-choice question, I surprisingly chose Shen Yanxiu; I thought I would choose her husband.]
No, this must be Su Jin's tactic—to confuse the kidnappers and buy time for the police.
[Su Jin: It's a choice between two options, right? Neither of you should live! Both of you, just die!]
[It's a bit like she's gone mad... Can I even say that?]
[They were terrified of the kidnappers, hahaha!]
Su Jin received a call from the police station; she was to be summoned.
When I arrived at the police station, there were a lot of people.
The police asked her if she had offended anyone.
The case is progressing smoothly. The three kidnappers told everything when questioned, but the identity of the person behind the kidnapping remains unknown.
Because they genuinely didn't know, they revealed everything they could.
Su Jin pondered for a moment with difficulty, "There are too many... I can't remember who they are all right now."
The police gave her paper and a pen, saying, "Write down whoever comes to mind."
A short while later, when the police came back to look, the paper was covered with densely packed names.
"..."
Su Jin smiled sheepishly, "The pen ran out of ink..."
The police officer asked incredulously, "Are you sure these are all people you've offended?"
"Yes, I've offended too many people with my mouth."
The first line on that piece of paper listed the names of Su's father, Su's mother, and Su Xingran.
However, Su Jin didn't think it was them. They were only bullies among themselves. How could they dare to kidnap Gu Xingze?
After cooperating with the police, Su Jin got into the car, while Lin Shi in the passenger seat was still watching the video.
"Stop watching." Su Jin covered the screen where the video was still playing.
Lin Shi slapped her hand away. "Let's see what you were thinking back then. Did you know the thug had a fake gun?"
Su Jin started the car and shook her head. "I don't know. How could I know? I've never seen a real gun before."
"...I didn't know you would dare to do such a thing?"
Su Jin: "Your life is worthless. As long as you're not afraid of death, he'll be even more terrified than you."
...
night.
When they arrived at the agreed-upon hotel, Su Jin gripped the keyboard, her whole body tense.
Lin Shi: "What's wrong with you?"
Su Jin swallowed hard. "I'm a little nervous."
She comforted Su Jin, "It's okay. Even if you weren't selected, it's only natural."
"?"
"No, what I mean is, you're not an acting student, so it's normal that you weren't chosen."
Su Jin took a few deep breaths and leaned against Lin Shi. "I'm scared. I'd better not go."
"Oh well, since we're already here..."
"That's true, but..."
She was quite conflicted. She had never done anything particularly outstanding in her life, her dancing was unremarkable, and acting was a field she had never ventured into. Perhaps this was something she was actually very good at?
But what if I embarrass myself...
"Go ahead, so what if you fail?" Lin Shi looked at her with his dark pupils.
Su Jin could feel an invisible bridge being built between her and herself at that moment.
