“It’s ineffective.”
Zhao Jing's expression became nervous. "What do you mean it's ineffective? The card... No, I just wanted to see if Lu Jingxu would still be able to—"
Would he still be willing to stay with her? Tool cards are very expensive and it is impossible to renew them for a lifetime, so she wanted to try how Lu Jingxu would react if there were no props.
Sun Yan looked at Zhao Jing angrily, his expression becoming tired. "Anyway, you should continue as soon as possible. His condition has been unstable recently, which will greatly affect the completion."
Zhao Jing's eyes dimmed, and she nodded: "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Su Yinyin is dead, so logically she shouldn't have anything to fear anymore, but for some reason, she always feels that Lu Jingxu has been worried lately.
The tool card was invalid for a few days. He looked no different from usual, but there was always an indescribable weirdness in him.
But Zhao Jing didn't want to think too much about it. She had survived all these years, and Su Yinyin was dead. It seemed that nothing in this world could stop her from becoming the heroine.

"Jingxu, why are you back so late today? You must be hungry. I'll cook for you."
Lu Jingxu didn't say anything, but walked silently to the kitchen and looked at Zhao Jing coldly.
Logically speaking, the favorability card has been renewed, so Lu Jingxu shouldn't still have this expression.
Zhao Jing cautiously walked over to him, ready to help him change his clothes: "What's wrong? You haven't changed your clothes since you came back so long. Don't let the cold outside get to our house."
Lu Jingxu ruthlessly slapped the hand away.
"That's where we first met eight years ago."
Zhao Jing's heart skipped a beat. Why did Lu Jingxu suddenly ask this?
"Why are you asking this suddenly? Don't you remember that day, downstairs from my house..."
Lu Jingxu's expression didn't change, and that was why Zhao Jing felt he was frighteningly cold.
“What…what happened…”
"I asked your high school class teacher, and she said you've been living on campus."
Zhao Jing was speechless for a moment. The bug of the tool card was probably that you could only change the impression of that person about the matter in their mind, but you could not really become that person.
"He must have remembered it wrongly."
Zhao Jing lowered her head, but without giving Lu Jingxu any more chance to speak, she went to the kitchen and brought out the dishes.
Lu Jingxu stared at the dishes on the table. They were all the same, but they never tasted the same as they did eight years ago.
"Su Yinyin is dead."
"Yeah, it was on the social news. It's really pitiful, at such a young age."
Zhao Jing pretended to be calm and continued to eat. After all, they had been together for a while, so it was normal to feel a little emotional.
After that, Lu Jingxu didn't say anything else. He just kept his eyes downcast, and was eerily quiet.
In the evening, Lu Jingxu went to the study alone.
At first, Zhao Jing was a little worried that Lu Jingxu would overthink it, but then she felt that it was nothing. Even if the two of them were very affectionate in the original book, there would be no emotional accumulation in this world just by her intervention.
Under the effect of her card, Su Yinyin was just a brainless diode... Lu Jingxu would never fall in love with her, let alone be sad about her death.
Lu Jingxu did not come out of the study all night. When Zhao Jing woke up the next morning, she heard a noise outside.
She opened the curtains and vaguely saw a streak of light in the sky, as if it had split the sky and shattered the huge mirror.
Someone ran in and knocked on her door frantically. She was still sleepy and opened the door impatiently, only to see that the aunt in the house had a heavy face.
"Lu... Mr. Lu..."
——
Lu Jingxu jumped into the river.
Zhao Jing did not hear the sound of the door opening that night, and she had no idea what Lu Jingxu's motive was for jumping into the river.
I just caught a glimpse of the last message he sent to Lu Yuan.
"Can this really be repeated?"
"I'm sorry, maybe I don't have any other reason to do this, but I just always feel that her ending shouldn't be like that."
(The finale is over. Thanks for watching.
