Zhou Zhenghui’s face showed a hint of reminiscence: “Yanxu once said that he wanted to go to the north to see the snow when he was feeling better, but unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled.”
Jiang Nanshu fell silent.
She wondered: if she found Zhou Yanxu in this world, would she still want to go back to the original world?
All her efforts were for the purpose of going back and reclaiming the belongings Zhou Yanxu left her.
The Zhou Yanxu in this world would no longer be the Zhou Yanxu she knew.
Jiang Nanshu’s turbulent mood continued until they returned to the hotel.
When she reached the door, she noticed Lu Qingyan leaning against the wall with a slender figure.
Hearing her voice, he looked up, his eyes indifferent: “Where are you going?”
“Why are you here?” Jiang Nanshu stood still.
Lu Qingyan couldn’t help but sneer and repeated, “Why am I here? Have you forgotten about me, a grown man? You couldn’t get through on the phone, you didn’t reply to my messages, and you’re only coming back so late. Look at the time, it’s already nine o’clock. I couldn’t find you, so I had to wait for you outside your hotel room.”
As he spoke, Jiang Nanshu could hear a hint of grievance in his tone.
But his expression was cold and serious, and the corners of his usually gentle peach-shaped eyes were raised, giving him a sharper look. There was not a trace of a smile.
“Nine o’clock? The nightlife has just begun, okay… Wait, was my phone on silent? Otherwise, how come I didn’t receive any messages? I had no idea.”
Jiang Nanshu quickly took out her phone, pressed a button, and looked at Lu Qingyan somewhat guiltily: “It’s not that I don’t want to reply to you, but my phone is off.”
“I called you twenty-five times and sent you over thirty messages. I only stopped when your phone was turned off. Didn’t you even have time to check your phone during that time?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
His tone grew increasingly cold, as if it were the prelude to an argument.
Didn’t she already mention that the phone might be on silent? You’re avoiding the main point, aren’t you?
She really didn’t look at her phone; she was busy asking Zhou Zhenghui about Zhou Yanxu the whole time and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
Besides, she has to go to the western suburbs tomorrow.
Jiang Nanshu did not want Lu Qingyan to know that she was going to visit Zhou Yanxu at the western suburbs cemetery the next day.
“My phone’s on silent. Honey, don’t be mad at me. I feel terrible.”
Jiang Nanshu stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his waist, and placed her ear against his chest. Her voice was filled with a hint of grievance and a fawning, coquettish tone.
She sniffed, tilted her little face up to look at him, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
“Did you smoke?”
“Hmm.” He replied indifferently.
He didn’t hug Jiang Nanshu and turned his head away, not wanting to look at her.
She had no idea that when he couldn’t reach her, he was frantic with worry. He even wondered if she was in danger or had run into trouble along the way. He searched every route from the hotel to the set, but couldn’t find her. He even asked the crew, but they all said that they didn’t know.
He didn’t have many connections in Hong Kong; it wasn’t his comfort zone.
He was so anxious about this that he almost called the police.
But Jiang Nanshu simply said that her phone was on silent and she didn’t hear it.
Did she not hear it, or did she not care?
The more Lu Qingyan thought about it, the more irritated he became. He seemed to be becoming more sensitive and suspicious, which was not a good sign.
“Brother Qingyan, I was wrong. I won’t do this again. Please talk to me, okay?” Jiang Nanshu apologized softly and coquettishly.
Lu Qingyan remained silent, becoming even more indifferent.
Jiang Nanshu’s heart skipped a beat.
Was all the goodwill she had built up over this period going to be wasted?
She wanted to break up with Lu Qingyan eventually, but definitely not now.

The author has something to say:
Xiao Jiang: It’s over, my favorability is gone!
Old Lu, his eyes red with anger: Is this all the value I have in your heart?
