Here comes a lamp that doesn't save fuel
During the intermission, Bing Jie took the initiative to find Qi Jixin to ask about the performance. After being pulled aside by Xuan Jiazhuo and questioned, he said as if he had planned it in advance that without Qi Jixin's analysis of her mood at the time, he would never be able to figure out in his life how much he had wronged her.
He secretly estimated that after just these two scenes, he could already sense something was amiss. Putting himself in her shoes, he really did feel like a paranoid lunatic...
Xuan Jiazhuo knew that this guy had an outstanding ability to confuse right and wrong, so he did not follow his line of thought. Instead, he decisively raised the issue that he was most concerned about. The right way to deal with a cunning person like Bing Jie was not to be led astray by him.
"She has lost her memory now, but if I ask her to think about it again, won't it just cause her pain all over again?"
Bing Jie was silent for two seconds on this question. He glanced at Qi Jixin, who was reciting a script not far away, and then returned his gaze to the face of the man gritting his teeth. He sighed silently, knowing that this answer would be countered by Xuan Jiazhuo, but he still had to speak.
"She has an extraordinary talent for acting, and you should know this better than I do. If you and I are experts in recognizing people, then she is a genius at understanding and sympathizing with people."
At this point, even if Qi Jixin could no longer hear it, he still had to praise her openly.
At first he thought that hiding could protect her, but it still caused her to suffer a lot. Back then he thought he had learned how to love someone, but the truth that was slowly being revealed was a wake-up call, directly shattering his fantasy that he had performed well in the past.
It's terrible, everything is terrible.
If there was something he was sure Qi Jixin really liked, he would say without hesitation that she liked to hear him praise her.
When the two first got together, she was still a budding young star. Before going to bed, the two of them would always snuggle together to watch her performances. Whenever Bing Jie praised her, she would always smile with her eyes curved and proudly agree: Of course.
Then she would actively kiss herself or snuggle into her own arms. Her actions betrayed her true feelings. She liked to hear herself praise herself.
When reason returns, the beauty of the past suddenly dissipates like the mist before dawn, leaving only the devastated present situation that is deeply engraved in front of the eyes.
Bing Jie forced himself not to look at Qi Jixin anymore, but turned to Xuan Jiazhuo. Xuan Jiazhuo naturally had nothing to refute. She knew very well how right Bing Jie was.
What an unfathomable person! He was clearly telling the truth, but why did it feel like all the truths were on his side? Xuan Jiazhuo's alarm bells were ringing. In her mind, Bing Jie's difficulty level had to increase by another star.
"She can easily put herself in other people's perspectives and empathize with other people's psychology, but don't you think you are taking advantage of her?" Xuan Jiazhuo starts from Qi Jixin in everything, so naturally she will not be led astray by him.
Bing Jie was quite certain, "So I compensated her with a bright future and countless wealth." Seeing Xuan Jiazhuo showing some impatience and about to refute him, he continued slowly, "Will you let me give you anything else? This is all I can give her while keeping my distance from her."
Having always been the center of attention at various events, Bing Jie had developed a skill from a young age: the ability to conceal himself, not just his emotions, but his true thoughts. If he wanted to, he could be friendly with his sworn enemy, even while secretly dispatching his men to deal with him.
The few true feelings he had in his life were all related to Qi Jixin: the unconcealable joy, the unhidden love, and the irreversible despair...all kinds of emotions were revealed in front of her, but now that she was not in front of him, Bing Jie did not want to pretend anymore.
At this moment, he no longer tried to control his expression, letting his fatigue and helplessness show through.
This also scared Xuan Jiazhuo. She originally thought that Bing Jie's usual cold face was scary enough, but now it seems that he is better when he is cold and stern.
Seeing him so haggard, Xuan Jiazhuo couldn't say anything. The opposing positions made her unable to say any words of comfort. She used to want to kill Bing Jie.
Watching the once invincible villain being tortured, Xuan Jiazhuo thought that she should have been so happy that she took off on the spot, and then went back to the company to buy firecrackers to set off all night.
But she couldn't be happy.
The hidden truth of the past is gradually revealed. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Xuan Jiazhuo has to re-examine the past.
Initially, Qi Jixin was disgusted by the difference in status and refused to accept Bing Jie. However, after realizing his sincerity, she finally accepted him. The next logical step was for the two lovers to enter into marriage.
At that time, Bing Jie suspended her career in the name of protecting her, secretly held the wedding, and took good care of her in daily life. As a friend, Xuan Jiazhuo also sighed that she finally met her true love and could finally take a break from the work that was round the clock and even exhausted her body.
But what happened later that caused the relationship between the two to change quietly? Xuan Jiazhuo remembers that the change was very sudden.
Perhaps, everything has its traces, but they didn't care at the time, and later they hated each other because of "objective facts", and there was no chance for the truth to be revealed to the world.
There were no words of comfort, but Xuan Jiazhuo was still able to change the subject.
"There's a small party tonight, are you going?" As if knowing what he was going to ask, Xuan Jiazhuo resignedly patched up the situation: "She will go."
Change the subject and comfort him at the same time.
Xuan Jiazhuo's only soft-heartedness was that at the last moment of Qi Jixin's life, she still murmured that she didn't blame him.
Although she didn't understand, and didn't know what she knew, Xuan Jiazhuo respected her choice. However, she had never told anyone about this matter. She would not let down her guard against Bing Jie unless it was absolutely necessary.
When Bing Jie learned about the party from Xuan Jiazhuo, he was not happy. Obviously, he had not yet adapted to Qi Jixin, who was reserved towards him. But during the break between reshoots, she mysteriously invited him.
Only then did he clear away the haze in his heart, but when he heard the host of the party, he couldn't help but show his displeasure in front of Qi Jixin, and snorted coldly.
As for why it's so mysterious, it's because this is a party full of discrimination.
The one who advocated the party was Xu Ran, the second male lead who was about to join the crew. He played the childhood sweetheart of General Qi. He openly invited everyone in the crew to dinner, but contacted Qi Jixin and a few crew members he knew for a private gathering, separating himself from the main group.
What's even more infuriating is that Bing Jie was actually assigned to the main group. He never participated in such gatherings and only agreed reluctantly for Qi Jixin. As a result, he was tricked and almost fell to his death. Bing Jie felt extremely resentful.
And Xu Ran himself is not an easy person to deal with.
Ever since Qi Jixin retired from the entertainment industry due to her marriage, and thanks to Bing Jie's manipulation, her former celebrity status has been almost forgotten by everyone. However, there is one unusual factor: she always mentions her boyfriend Xu Ran.
As a man, and a very cautious one at that, Bing Jie wanted to deal with him several times, but was persuaded by Qi Jixin every time.
Before, they had no contact, and he was still like this, not to mention Qi Jixin's comeback. Xu Ran even did everything he could to guest-star in her dramas. With his sunny and handsome appearance, he played her younger brother, her older brother, and even her lover in two dramas...
When a group of netizens were obsessed with the "expectation CP", Bing Jie was so angry that he got a headache in the office.
Therefore, in the drama that he invested in and wrote the script for, he ordered Xu Ran to be banned. But this bastard went to find Qi Jixin. As the designated female lead, her say was much greater than she imagined. Bing Jie had no choice but to compromise and let this pretty boy dance on his face.
Knowing that Bing Jie had come out again and didn't know many people, Qi Jixin suggested that he go with her. After all, everyone else was going in pairs, and it would be too lonely for him to go alone.
Xuan Jiazhuo and Bing Jie, who were present, were both stunned, but their expressions were very different. Xuan Jiazhuo was horrified, while Bing Jie was quite surprised. Xuan Jiazhuo and Bing Jie exchanged glances. He suppressed the joy in his eyes and stood aside calmly. Xuan Jiazhuo then turned around and asked Qi Jixin quietly.
"What's going on? Why are you suddenly so nice to him?" What if she repeats the same mistake and falls in love with Bing Jie again... Xuan Jiazhuo felt a little bit of pressure in his head, and felt like his brain was going to explode.
Qi Jixin took Sister Zhuo's arm, smiled politely at Bing Jie, turned around and took her away, answering her questions only after they were a little further away.
"After careful consideration, I think this guy has a complicated background! He's probably related to the show's old-fashioned sponsor. For example, he might be their son or lover..."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Xuan Jiazhuo almost covered her mouth with her hand. How could this ancestor dare to say anything? "What old-fashioned hat, what lover, you, you, you, watch your words!"
With the financial sponsor right behind him, Xuan Jiazhuo felt like a thorn in his back.
Qi Jixin also realized something was wrong and calmed down a little, just lowering his voice.
"Why isn't he just a tacky old-fashioned guy? How could anyone in their right mind bear to watch this love-hate relationship? Besides, if it doesn't matter, can we hire someone who's retired? So, just be nice to him and try not to offend the financial backers behind him, right?"
Xuan Jiazhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was relieved to know that she wasn't moved. But if this guy heard Bing Jie's words, he would...
I should make her a pair of pure gold shoes covered with diamonds...
"It's time to call it a day. Why don't we go now?" Bing Jie's voice sounded faintly from behind them. They both swallowed at the same time and turned to look at him.
He has a handsome face, fair complexion, bright eyes and a sincere smile.
Qi Jixin took a deep breath, and the social smile on his face almost fell off. It was over, it was over, he definitely heard it! From the pain on the back of his hand caused by Sister Zhuo's pinch, Qi Jixin concluded that Sister Zhuo thought the same thing.
"How about we go to a big party? It'll be more lively with more people..." Qi Jixin had an idea. At least, if there were many people around, he wouldn't be cornered and beaten by him.
Bing Jie smiled and shook his head: "I've heard that you and Xu Ran have a good relationship. It's not a good idea to break his appointment for me, right?"
What should have been tender and seductive sounded threatening when he said it.
Not only did Qi Jixin feel that he was secretly warning her of something, but Xuan Jiazhuo, who had been running the emotional detection radar between the two of them all day, had to admit: these words had nothing to do with ambiguous feelings, they were pure revenge.
Diamond-studded shoes are probably on the way.
