Chapter 46 Separation
Jiang Jinyue lay on the bed, feeling uneasy.
Why would he lie?
What happened to him today?
With a sigh, he opened the bedroom door and walked into the living room, just in time to hear the door open.
She asked casually, "Why did you come back so soon? Did you forget your phone?"
"Who are you talking to, Xiaojiu?"
“…”
Not Bai Yuqing.
Turning around, she saw Dai Shuyue standing at the door.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"Of course you came to see me, your little sister."
Xu Feng's inquiries about Jiang Jinyue's relationship status in the circle naturally reached Dai Shuyue's ears.
Her Xiaojiu has really grown up. He actually made their relationship public without making a sound right under her nose.
Jiang Jinyue walked to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of beer, and handed one to Dai Shuyue.
He held a bottle in his hand, took the script, and curled up in the lazy sofa.
Dai Shuyue drank half a bottle of wine and asked, seeing her contented look, "He lives here?"
"who?"
Heh…playing this kind of game with her, Dai Shuyue said with a smile: "Bai Yuqing."
"Yeah, that's right. After we finished filming that movie, we brought him back."
"Xiaojiu has grown up and started dating." Dai Shuyue said with a smile.
Jiang Jinyue flipped a page of the script and replied calmly, "We're not in a relationship, just keeping her for fun."
"Play around? Then why don't you play around with others, just him? Xiaojiu, you can't fool your sister when it comes to feelings."
"Oh, then just treat it as a love affair, sister."
Jiang Jinyue took a sip of beer.
Dai Shuyue didn't know what she was thinking, so she just turned around and asked, "Then where did he go?"
"Going out to buy some things."
"What? Contraceptive?"
“…” Jiang Jinyue looked up from the script, glanced at her, and said nothing.
Seeing that she was speechless, Dai Shuyue burst into laughter and asked, "Have you slept together?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jinyue put down his beer and looked up. "Sister, I don't like discussing such private topics, you know."
"Oh." Dai Shuyue obeyed for a second, then asked, "When I left, weren't you two still together? He still treated you as a substitute, my sister. How could you tolerate this?"
"It's not about whether I can bear it or not, but about not being willing to accept it."
"So you have to get him?"
"Um."
"How did you do it?"
"It was a self-torture tactic. After hearing what you said about the suspension bridge effect, I offered to support him when we both fell into the same pit, and he agreed."
"Ah... I thought so. He doesn't seem to be swayed by money. It turns out he's in love with you, so he's willing to follow you."
"Let him."
What a heartless statement! "Let him be," these two words reveal an indifference beyond words.
"Did you hear everything? Bai Yuqing." Dai Shuyue said this to the entrance.
Bai Yuqing? Jiang Jinyue looked up and happened to meet his eyes.
What emotion was in his eyes? Jiang Jinyue didn't notice, because she quickly lowered her head again, looking at the script, gently turning a page. Suddenly, the only sound in the air was the sound of paper.
Then came the sounds of hands touching beer bottles and cans being squeezed.
She didn't say anything, but it seemed like she said thousands of words, such as "You'll know if you know."
Bai Yuqing tried hard to see Jiang Jinyue's expression, but he could see nothing.
It was a long time before Jiang Jinyue raised her head and looked at him with a cold and indifferent look in her eyes. "What are you doing standing here? Have you bought anything?"
She lowered her gaze and saw that his hands were empty.
She paused, and the corners of her lips seemed to smile faintly, and she said: "If you mind what I just said, then you can leave now."
These words actually echoed what she had just said - "Let him be."
It’s up to him whether to go or not.
Bai Yuqing stood at the entrance, looking at her and smiling. His eyes were bright, but he couldn't hide his fatigue. He was so tall, but he looked so unkempt at the moment, and the watermarks on his shoes were even deeper.
He waved his hand, without saying a word, and turned and left, just like when he first came to this house, without taking anything with him.
Now he left, still without taking anything.
The sound of a door closing was heard.
But it didn't disturb the two women in the room.
Seeing her like this, Dai Shuyue felt relieved.
Just now, she said nothing and just observed Xiaojiu.
Now that the people had gone, she stood up and said:
"When you were little, you liked a doll. I just said it was ugly, and you argued with me for days and nights."
"Now that he's keeping quiet, it's clear he won't take it to heart. I'm relieved."
She walked up to Jiang Jinyue and patted her head gently, just like when she was little. "Be good, Xiaojiu, this is the right thing to do. Don't be serious, do you hear me? Men make people happy, but falling in love will only slow down our sword-drawing speed."
"Um."
This idea was like brainwashing. She was instilled with it from the first time she saw Dai Shuyue hugging a man intimately.
"Are you in love?" Xiao Jinyue looked at her sister and asked curiously.
"Shh!" Dai Shuyue bent down and made a shushing gesture. "That's what he thinks."
"What about you, sister?"
"Sister," Dai Shuyue smiled, "I'm just having fun."
At that time, Xiao Jinyue didn't know what she meant by this sentence.
Until a few days later, she saw her sister with another man, behaving intimately.
"Sister, is this your boyfriend?"
"Not really, Xiaojiu, I don't have a boyfriend. At least, I don't have one in my heart. I'm just having fun."
Gradually, she understood that her sister had no boyfriend and these people were just there to make her happy.
She had tried before to make those boys who followed her around happy, but looking at their expressions, Jiang Jinyue felt annoyed.
If she looks at them for a second longer, they will feel happy for a long time.
It was clearly her unilateral act to make them happy, it was not worth it.
From then on, Jinyue, who was only 13 years old, felt disgusted when she saw men.
Vow not to provide them with any emotional value.
But the man to whom she provided emotional value actually left.
She had just hugged him and comforted him today, and had done her best to make him happy in the bathroom.
But he left.
Did he go buy some groceries and fried chicken, or... just leave?
Could it be the former?
But he waved before leaving...isn't that a farewell?
Jiang Jinyue looked at the script, but not a single word entered his mind.
