Chapter 44: She’s Not the Only One

Jiang Mian walked into the hall facing the wind.

Under the light, people mingled with each other, dressed in fragrant clothes and with shadows on their temples.

Shen Tingyu found Ji Zhixiu, and the person he was talking to toasted to each other knowingly, and then left, leaving the two of them alone.

Ji Zhixiu's face was cold and his tone was as cold as ice, "Is something wrong?"

Shen Tingyu's eyes were filled with tears, and she held him with her soft and boneless hands, "Zhixiu, are you...are you really married?"

Her posture was weak, as if Ji Zhixiu was about to say the word "yes" and she would ride away in the wind the next second.

Ji Zhixiu frowned, "There is no need to explain my affairs to you."

"I don't believe what she said, Zhixiu. As long as you deny it, I will believe that you are not married and you still have me in your heart." Shen Tingyu was pitiful, and there was even a hint of pleading in her words.

Ji Zhixiu lowered his eyes, glanced at her with cold eyebrows, and uttered a few words coldly to break her cruel fantasy, "Yes, married."

She let go of his hand in disbelief, "Why... why are you so cruel..."

Why should I give her hope and then break it with my own hands...

There was no warmth in the man's eyes. Although the beauty was crying in front of him, there was no ripple in his heart. Shen Tingyu once again felt this man's hard-hearted heart.

Ji Zhixiu drank the red wine in one gulp and then put down the glass.

"I wish you find your happiness soon."

For Shen Muyuan's sake, he could forget about what happened last time.

Tears were clearly welling up in her eyes, but Shen Tingyu still stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Oh, wish her to find her happiness soon? Her happiness is the man in front of her...

She watched helplessly as the man in front of her walked towards Jiang Mian, silently crushing her heart into pieces and trampling under his feet.

Mother Shen was looking at her out of the corner of her eye, clearly feeling that something was wrong with her mood. She called a servant and whispered, “Go, take the eldest lady back upstairs."

"Yes, ma'am."

She saw what happened just now and saw the man walking over. Jiang Mian twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

Ji Zhixiu didn't notice anything strange. He lowered his head and asked, "You came back from outside?"

Jiang Mian nodded.

Ji Zhixiu saw that she was not very interested and thought she didn't want to stay any longer, "We can go back."

Just send the gift.

Jiang Mian nodded again, too well-behaved.

Ji Zhixiu took her to talk to Shen's mother, and the two left the Shen family.

On the way back, Jiang Mian was extremely quiet.

The night is starry and the evening breeze blows on your face. Ji Zhixiu held her hand, his palm was cold.

He finally realized that something was wrong with the little girl, raised his hand and pinched the little girl's chin to force her to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "What did Shen Tingyu say to you?"

Jiang Mian seemed to have just come back to his senses. She looked at his displeased brows, blinked, and subconsciously replied, “I didn't say anything..."

She didn't know why, but she didn't want to tell the truth.

The man's fingertips were rubbing against her soft cheek, and there was a hint of tenderness in his tone, "Mianmian."

Jiang Mian thought of the bracelet and tried his best to control his desire to turn his head. She breathed silently in her heart, and then took the man's finger in her palm.

The voice was very soft, "I'm a little tired."

She did not look directly into the man's eyes, but looked out the car window, gently closing her eyes and leaning on his shoulder, as if she was really exhausted.

Jiang Mian never thought that one day she would bring acting into her life.

But she didn't know what to say or how to say it.

Yes, Ji Zhixiu never liked Shen Tingyu. But this man never said he liked her, right?

Ji Zhixiu knew there was nothing he could ask. The two of them were silent all the way home.

The first thing Jiang Mian did when he went upstairs was not to take off his makeup, but to open the drawer. The string of Paraiba bracelets that exuded dazzling light under the light were lying in the center of the drawer.

She picked it up and looked at it in her palm. She was so happy when she received this gift, but now she is so sad.

Turns out, she's not the only one.

There were footsteps behind him. Jiang Mian wiped his tears and hurriedly stuffed the bracelet back. In panic, the bracelet fell into the gap. Jiang Mian heard a "pop" sound, and Jiang Mian's heart was hit hard... Then she closed the drawer door tightly.

Ji Zhixiu held a cup of red date tea in his hand, and his voice was close at hand, "Aunt Song asked me to serve it to you."

Jiang Mian turned around and took the teacup, "Thank you."

She took two sips and then said, "I booked a flight for tonight. Please ask Xiang Long to take me to the airport now."

It was actually three hours before she boarded the plane.

Ji Zhixiu looked at her coldly, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"I'll be back soon."

She knew clearly that this was not what he wanted to know.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with her, it was obvious that Ji Zhixiu didn't want to quarrel with her.

Jiang Mian pursed her lips, "Then I'll leave first."

"good."

Jiang Mian took the red date tea and drank it in one gulp. She was not willing to waste Aunt Song's thoughts.

Then, he passed by Ji Zhixiu.

Li Laidi was with her. When she arrived at the airport, Jiang Mian realized that she had forgotten to buy a ticket for Xiang Long, and she couldn't buy one at the moment.

She thought for a while and said, "Go back first and come to Hainan to find me tomorrow."

Xiang Long hesitated, "I'm not with you, young master, so I can't protect you."

Li Laidi patted him and said, "Brother, I'm a human being too. Don't worry, I'll protect Sister Mian for you. Besides, you'll be here tomorrow, what could happen?"

Xiang Long was startled by this sudden touch, and he hesitated, “That's right... haha."

"Okay, it's settled then, you will come with me tomorrow." Jiang Mian made the final decision.

Jiang Mian booked the business class class, and Li Laidi was very excited to benefit from him. She touched her head and looked around, "Sister Mian, I remember the last time I took a plane..."

Jiang Mian felt sleepy and yawned, "You are in such good spirits."

It's already evening now, and we'll probably have to wait until early tomorrow morning. She was tired and her heart was tired. There will be no time for her to rest tomorrow. If she misses one day of shooting, she will have to catch up on the progress.

Jiang Mian closed his eyes, expelled Ji Zhixiu from his brain, and fell into sleep.

Seeing that she was not in a good condition, Li Laidi stopped nagging her to rest. She quietly covered Jiang Mian with a blanket, and then calmed down in her seat.

Jiang Mian didn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, all the memories came flooding back to his head.

She thought of her grandmother, and how she used to pester her when she was a child. When I was a child, there were always some ignorant, bad kids who specialized in poking scars on people. They bullied Jiang Mian together, saying that she was an unwanted child, a loser, and could only be left at her grandma's house.

Whenever grandma heard these words, the always kind-hearted old man would inevitably go door-to-door with Jiang Mian in his arms, demanding an apology from them.

Grandma, who was never jealous of her neighbors, didn't mind offending anyone for Jiang Mian. Those neighbors, seeing their kind-hearted grandmother so angry, would inevitably bring out their own bad boy who had done evil to apologize.

Of course, there are also those who are stubborn and stubborn, and then they will get a mixed doubles game between parents.

Grandma taught Jiang Mian that if people respect me, I should respect others as much as they should. If you are bullied, you should never swallow your anger. Emotionally, too.

A sweet smile appeared on Jiang Mian's lips, "Grandma, she hasn't forgotten. She won't suffer any loss."

She thought of her grandmother who always made her sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus wine during the season when the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floated ten miles away. How could such a clever and ingenious grandmother suddenly fall ill and leave her.

A tear silently fell from the corner of Jiang Mian's eyes.

Such a wonderful grandma, I will never see her again.

From the day her grandmother left, she never had a home again.

Jiang Mian thought that after the filming of this movie was completed, she would definitely go back to Jiangnan to visit. She missed her grandma.

Xiang Long finished speaking truthfully and then waited for Ji Zhixiu's instructions.

Ji Zhixiu put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes slightly, "You said that she didn't buy your ticket and asked you to come back first and go over tomorrow?"

"yes."

What is this, arguing with him without saying a word, and now you are not even willing to use his people?

He laughed at himself, and then said, “Ask Sun Shu to arrange a special plane for you, and you can go there tonight."

Xiang Long's eyes flashed, "This is Mr. Ji. It is my duty to protect the young lady."

Jiang Mian arrived in Hainan and stayed in a hotel arranged by the crew. Now the timeline span of the script has reached the second half.

Jiang Mian's heroine scenes are not as many as those of the male protagonist in the second half, and most of them are just memory fragments.

As soon as she put her things away, she heard a knock on the door.

Jiang Mian went to open the door. When he saw the person coming, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Please come in."

Neither of them noticed a sneaky figure at the corner of the corridor.

Song Xingjia walked in with a plate of fruit, "My assistant bought the local fruits in Hainan for me. You can try them. He is a native of Hainan and is very good at choosing."

Jiang Mian smiled brightly and used a toothpick to pick up a piece of pineapple, "To soak in the glory of the Song Dynasty Movie Emperor."

Song Xingjia looked at her with a gentle smile on his lips. In Jiang Mian's impression, he always seemed to be like this, as if nothing could make him angry.

There was an inexplicable aura about him, the kind that Jiang Mian liked.

She forked two pieces and asked, "How did you know I arrived?"

"When you came, I happened to see you from the window sill."

"By the way, my roommates have already got the record you gave me last time, and they all like it very much."

Song Xingjia smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

Jiang Mian couldn't help but said, "Thank you, Movie Emperor Song."

Song Xingjia stood up and said, "Eat slowly. You just came here to have a good rest. Don't rush to catch up. Get your condition back first. Don't worry about Director Wang. I will communicate with him."

He spoke thoughtfully and with just the right amount of control. Jiang Mian hesitated to say anything else, but Song Xingjia turned his head and said, "Have a good rest and don't think too much."

Jiang Mian bit her lower lip and nodded.

After they left, she thought that she had heard that Song Xingjia had a rumored ex-girlfriend before, so she couldn't be attracted to her.

What's more, they are still several years apart...

Jiang Mian patted his cheek, feeling that he had thought too much. Actor Song clearly takes care of her as a junior, okay?

Li Laidi came out of the shower and said, "Sister, what are you doing?"
