Chapter 45

It concerned the movie, Assistant Director Li naturally wouldn’t dare to delay, so he hung up the phone and brought people over. Assistant Director Li thanked Fang Lizhe and told him to go first. Then he closed the private box’s door with a pale look and went to negotiate with Xiang Tong and the man.

Su Yuanyuan twitched her ears and heard the soft and tough words from the box, suggesting that Xiang Tong should compensate the man with a sum of money, so that there would be no more debt between them. The man took a hard stance, but there was no evidence of what he said. Who would believe the words of an unknown person? He would be treated as a crazy fan who wanted to hurt Xiang Tong, and even if he went to the police, he wasn’t justified.

Fang Lizhe patted Su Yuanyuan on the head and took her back to their box. The last thing Su Yuanyuan heard was Assistant Director Li lowering his voice and strongly warned Xiang Tong that things must be dealt with cleanly. If there was a scandal within 3 years, they would ask for a large compensation from her.

If such a film, which had been prepared for a long time; was pulled into the scandal of a female lead, the loss would be huge. Not only the money, but also their painstaking efforts.

When everyone dispersed in the evening, Xiang Tong stopped Fang Lizhe at the end, and asked with some grievances, “Brother Fang, you obviously could have helped me. Why did you want others to know about this? I don’t know what to do now.”

Fang Lizhe faintly said, “I’m sorry to Miss Xiang. I don’t know the situation, so it’s not convenient to intervene rashly. Besides, they won’t say anything because of the film, so you don’t have to worry.” He looked at his watch and said, “It’s late, I should go. Miss Xiang should also go home early.”

Fang Lizhe was about to leave, but Xiang Tong tugged his arm and said, “Brother Fang, you weren’t like this before! You helped me when I started out 4 years ago, don’t you remember? If it weren’t for you, I might have been taken advantage of at that time. I’ve always wanted to thank you, but I haven’t had a chance. Now we’re in the same crew. Why are you … Why are you doing this to me?”

Su Yuanyuan’s goose bumps came up. A paw slapped Xiang Tong’s hand aside and let out a low growl of resistance at her. Xiang Tong stepped back and looked at Su Yuanyuan in surprise. At this moment, this lovely cute pet made her feel terrified.

Fang Lizhe frowned and looked at her with a straight face, “Miss Xiang, I don’t remember about the thing you just said. If it really happened, I just did it incidentally. After all, I was a person of Starlight before. It’s only right to take care of my colleagues.”

Without waiting for her to say anything, Fang Lizhe got into the car with Su Yuanyuan. Su Yuanyuan saw through the window, Xiang Tong actually shed tears. She vaguely heard, Xiang Tong whispering, “Why … I like you …”

Su Yuanyuan pressed her lips tightly, and somehow, she felt unhappy. Who does Xiang Tong think she is? Fang Lizhe clearly said he didn’t remember her. She still likes him? Why does she like him? When Fang Lizhe was knocked down to the bottom, why didn’t she come out and say she liked him? Besides, in the original story, although she was very cold toward to Feng Hui at the beginning, didn’t she follow Feng Hui later? Feng Hui was the one who wronged Fang Lizhe and suppressed Fang Lizhe. Are her feelings so cheap? Or does she casually believe Feng Hui’s false accusations?

Su Yuanyuan thought she was very annoying, a hundred times more annoying than before. She wouldn’t have entered the cast if she had known it. She had to see her every day!

Su Yuanyuan huddled herself in Fang Lizhe’s lap. Fang Lizhe leaned against the back seat and rubbed his forehead, sighing, “It’s really messy. I just wanted to get acquainted with everyone. I didn’t expect so many things to happen.” He looked down at Su Yuanyuan, pinched her little ears, and laughed, “Susu doesn’t like her, then we will ignore her later. There’s no rivalry anyway.”

Su Yuanyuan thought pretty much the same. She raised her head, rubbed it on his palm, and purred docilely.

When they got home, Fang Lizhe took a bath first and wanted to cook some sobering soup, but he probably drank too much wine, or mixed with white wine and red wine, which made him dizzy. He sat by the bed for a while. He didn’t recover, so he simply laid down, closed his eyes and held Su Yuanyuan. In a low voice, he said “Let’s lie down for a while, I’ll have some strength after.”

Su Yuanyuan didn’t take it seriously. Who knew that within a few minutes Fang Lizhe fell asleep, and he slept like a log. He didn’t wake up even after being called on several times. His hair was still wet, and he looked uncomfortable with a frown on his face.

Su Yuanyuan called him twice again, hesitated for a moment, and turned into a 10-year-old-looking girl.

001 instantly sounded out, [Host! You’ll be weakened for 3 days if you forcefully transform!]

[Su Yuanyuan: I know, but Ah Zhe seems unwell. It’s okay, there are only two scenes for me these days, and they are all abusive scenes, so it’s convenient to be in a poor state. Fortunately, my cultivation has improved. Now I can transform for 3 hours. Otherwise, I don’t know if I could take care of him.]

3 hours is very short, so Su Yuanyuan quickly jumped out of bed to cook sobering soup. She looked at the cooking instructions and fiddled with the gas stove a few times. She felt it was very difficult to use and frowned, [What is this? I thought it was simple, Ah Zhe use to use this ah…]

After thinking about it, she simply put the ingredient packet into the pot, put both fingers together and pointed at the soup pot, “Rise and set!”

The soup pot hovered and moved, stopping steadily in the middle of the kitchen. Then Su Yuanyuan waved her little hand, and all the curtains in the house were drawn to a close in unison. Then she snapped her fingers again. A fire instantly emerged from under the soup pot and began to cook the sobering soup.

She clapped her hands together and smiled triumphantly, “Isn’t it done? Nothing is too hard for me!”

Thinking of Fang Lizhe’s wet hair, Su Yuanyuan’s eyes brightened. She ran back to the bedroom and put her hand on his hair, slowly chanting spells. After a few seconds, Fang Lizhe’s whole body became dry. She touched Fang Lizhe’s forehead, then touched her own, and felt that it should be fine. So, she chanted a spell to lift Fang Lizhe and the quilt, straighten him flat on the bed, and then covered him with the quilt.

She squatted by the bed and studied Fang Lizhe’s face. She sighed, “He’s really a bit like the Scholar. There’s just a little bit of his shadow in him. Don’t you think?”

[001: According to the data analysis, they have different facial features. As for the shadow, it may just be a psychological effect on the host.]

[Su Yuanyuan: No way. Am I that stupid? The way I see it, Ah Zhe is the Scholar, I just need something to verify it. And why doesn’t he recognize me? This is also a problem. I still hope he will remember me, after all those years together.]

[001: Host, I suggest you don’t get too hopeful. Otherwise, in case he isn’t Zhuo Feng, it will hit you hard.]

Su Yuanyuan hummed twice, and didn’t argue with it. Anyway, no matter how she saw Fang Lizhe was the same person as Zhuo Feng, they spent a long time together, how could she be mistaken? She looked at the time, ran to the kitchen to pour the sobering soup, and cooled it with mana. Then, she went back to the bedroom to help Fang Lizhe up and feed him little by little.

After feeding, Su Yuanyuan wanted to lay him flat again, but accidentally saw a very familiar object in his collar. She pulled the red string carefully and pulled the pendant out. Her eyes widened in surprise, “A defense jade pendant?!”

[001! Isn’t this the defense jade pendant I gave to Zhuo Feng? Can something from the previous world be brought to this world? That’s not possible! This means that Ah Zhe is Zhuo Feng, right?]

[001: It stands to reason that things given away in the last world couldn’t be brought here. I’ll check, please wait a moment …]

Su Yuanyuan turned jade pendant over to look at it, and frowned. [Why does the image look a little worn? No wonder Ah Zhe didn’t say that I was similar to the image on it, and why is the back of the pendant crack? It looks like something ancient, so broken. Not at all as good-looking as it was at the beginning.]

[001: Analysis complete. Host, this piece of jade pendant is where I said there was an artifact spirit. It used some method to shield itself, so I never found out Fang Lizhe was wearing this jade pendant. Right now, it’s still impossible to communicate with the spirit. However, by the condition of the jade pendant, it seems that Zhuo Feng and this artifact spirit must have paid something in order to follow us. So much so that the defense jade pendant was worn out to this extent. It probably lost a lot of spiritual power. And as it just arrived in this world, it stopped a car accident, and that made the defense pendant get damaged again. This should be the reason why the spirit was injured and unable to wake up.]

[Su Yuanyuan: So … is it also the reason why Scholar doesn’t remember me?]

[001: It’s possible. After all, you have to be careful when dealing with things regarding spirits. It’s hard to preserve memories without enough spiritual power. Besides, it seems to be very down and out. Maybe there are other difficulties.]

Su Yuanyuan suddenly felt that Zhuo Feng should also have suffered a lot of injuries, even if he usually looks fine. But, who could say what happened to the soul? She touched pendant, put it in Fang Lizhe’s collar, and silently said in her heart, [In the future, if you have any wish points, give half of them to Ah Zhe. Repair the jade pendant as soon as possible, and ask the artifact spirit what’s going on.]

001 hesitated a little, [Host, aren’t you too willing? This will slow down your cultivation. If we finish the task of this world and get rid of them as soon as possible while the spirit wouldn’t be awaken and Fang Lizhe won’t recover his memory, you wouldn’t have to share wish points with anyone in the future worlds.]

Su Yuanyuan smiled, [How many times have I told you, don’t be so self-serving, okay? I want to cultivate immortality, but I don’t want to cultivate into a cold-blooded and heartless immortal ah. If we can’t recognize our dear ones, and could even throw away people that has been with us for 70 years, how could such character become any sort of immortal? What merit? That would be a sinner. Besides, if we don’t make things clear, can we go on with peace of mind? Dear, listen to me, and repair the jade pendant as soon as possible. I don’t know what this spirit is like. All the spirits I’ve seen before are fierce. Unfortunately, I haven’t had one with me. Now, fortunately, I have you. You are like my own personal spirit artifact. You are always with me and can do better than them!]

[001: … Really?]

[Su Yuanyuan: Of course it’s true! I like you best!]

[001: Okay, I will fully cooperate with you, Host.]

Su Yuanyuan smiled with satisfaction. When she looked down at Fang Lizhe, her eyes were filled with nostalgia and joy. It’s so good that they can be together again in the future. As long as she asks the artifact spirit about the causes and consequences, she can definitely find a way to keep traveling with the Scholar and never be separated again.
