Chapter 120 Growing Pains



The appearance may be the same, the memory may be blurred, but the soul will not change.

──

Zhao Jing hurriedly changed her clothes and prepared to go out. When she was seen by Sun Qingyan, he frowned and looked quite dissatisfied.

"Going to see Lu Jingxu again?"

Zhao Jing paused for a moment, looking a little uncomfortable, and hummed.

"Didn't he tell you he was going to film a movie in the next few months? Why are you still going to look for him? I don't know if he's into you or not. I don't think he likes you that much."

Sensing the wrong tone, Zhao Jing hesitated for a moment, then took off her outer shoes and walked over, leaning over and asking cautiously:

"Are you angry?"

"No."

Zhao Jing sat down next to him and tugged at his sleeve: "You can't blame me for this. If it weren't for you and the Sun family, do you think I want to stay with that wooden guy all day?"

"I think you're quite happy about it."

"I saw that Su Yinyin returned to China, and I'm worried that she might do something naughty around Lu Jingxu again."

Sun Qingyan turned his head and said, "He has lost his memory, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Jing pursed her lips. "But I'm just worried...Su Yinyin has become a completely different person. That day at the Wei family's, she pretended she couldn't get into the birthday party, but then she even took the Wei family's Patriarch Seal."

"I always feel that she is plotting something behind my back, so now Lu Jingxu is the only one I can keep an eye on, and I must not lose him."

Sun Qingyan thought for a moment and seemed to think that what she said made sense.

"That's fine...just go for a day and come back as soon as you're done."

Zhao Jing nodded in agreement and got into the car driven by Sun Qingyan, ready to catch the last flight tonight.

The filming opening ceremony is tomorrow. She heard from Lu Jingxu that he is the director and producer of this film, so she doesn't have to worry about the actress having any bad intentions.

As she was thinking about it, she called Lu Jingxu.

Lu Jingxu was sitting at the head of Su Yinyin's bed at this time. He didn't know what was wrong with her today, but she begged him to read her a bedtime story.

He had no other choice but to pick up a random fairy tale book and read it beside her pillow. Seeing that Su Yinyin's eyelids were getting heavy and she looked like she was about to fall asleep, he slowed down his voice...

However, at this moment, a discordant phone ring sounded, instantly waking up Su Yinyin who was just about to be coaxed to sleep by him.

Su Yinyin looked up: "Who is it so late?"

She thought it was her own phone and was about to touch it, but when Lu Jingxu saw the caller ID, his brows furrowed.

"mine."

"Oh." Su Yinyin muttered, rubbed her ears and turned her head away.

Lu Jingxu was about to go out with the phone when Su Yinyin stopped him: "It's okay, just call here."

"Okay." He picked up the phone, and Zhao Jing's voice came from the other end.

"Jing Xu, where are you now? I'm flying to your place. Would you consider picking me up at the airport?"

Lu Jingxu was silent for a while and glanced at Su Yinyin. Su Yinyin had obviously heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

"When will you arrive?"

"About an hour. Is it far from where you are?"

Lu Jingxu paused: "Far."

"Ah." She sounded a little frustrated. "What should I do? I don't know anyone here. What if I get lost?"

Su Yinyin nudged him with her elbow and gave him a look.

Lu Jingxu seemed to be deliberately opposing him: "Then use the navigation, I'll send you a location."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Su Yinyin sat up in bed and said, "Why don't you go? If she comes to the set, she'll find out that I'm the lead actor sooner or later. She'll become suspicious and keep a closer eye on you."

"I just don't want to go."

"You go." Su Yinyin pushed him, and finally under her persistence, Lu Jingxu finally compromised.

He sighed: "I'll go."

Su Yinyin nodded: "Be careful, it's so late."

Lu Jingxu took his coat and went out, and found a driver to drive him to the airport. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Jing at the exit not long after.

Zhao Jing was originally fiddling with her phone with a frown on her face, but when she saw Lu Jingxu, her spirits instantly lit up. She rushed over, her eyes filled with surprise, "You lied to me that you couldn't come."

He nodded to the driver, and the driver came up and took Zhao Jing's luggage.

"Get in the car."

Zhao Jing sat in the back seat, leaning a little closer to Lu Jingxu. Lu Jingxu's chest rose and fell, and he took a deep breath.

"Jing Xu, where is your studio? Is it far from here?"

"Didn't WeChat send your location?" Zhao Jing felt that this man was quite unromantic. She took the initiative to ask him, wasn't it just because she wanted to hear him talk to her in person?

Even though they are now engaged, she still feels that Lu Jingxu is not close to her and does not behave like a couple in love.

He lost his memory after waking up from the car accident. In order to take care of him, she squatted beside his bed for a month without taking off her clothes. During this period, she realized that this man seemed to be different except when he treated Su Yinyin. At other times, he was like a creature without emotional cells, not talkative, and had a cold expression.

There was only one thing - a talisman tied with a red string, which she saw he had been holding tightly in his palm.

She didn't know who put this thing there, but seeing that he liked it so much, when he asked about it, she went along with it and said that she asked for it.

Lu Jingxu foolishly believed it.

"Okay, then let me change the question. What's the plot of your drama? Are you short of talent? Would you like me to make a cameo appearance, just for your sake?"

Lu Jingxu thought for a moment and said, "This is mainly a costumed martial arts film with action scenes. You're so fragile, I'm afraid your bones will be blown away by the strong wind."

Zhao Jing was a little unhappy: "What do you mean? I have filmed costume dramas before, after all, don't underestimate me."

The actors in this drama are basically from a martial arts background, and at the very least they have received a month of training before joining the crew.

Su Yinyin filmed a lot of action scenes when she was abroad, and she did all the fighting herself. Injuries on her arms and thighs were common. Once, she even fell off a wire during filming.

She herself didn't care about such things, and her schedule was very full, so the scars were left over time.

When Lu Jingxu saw it by chance, he felt like something was stabbed in his heart.

He had imagined countless times how difficult her life was outside, how she had to go through those days alone, and how she had become addicted to smoking and drinking. So when he saw Su Yinyin for the first time after returning to China, unspeakable bitterness spread in his heart - because she had changed so much, from her eyes to her words, every flattering word she said was like a blunt knife stabbing Lu Jingxu inch by inch.

He couldn't believe what was behind these changes, and he didn't dare to think about it.

When Su Yinyin broke out of the shackles, she felt the growing pain in her bones.
