Chapter 199 This America is Unlivable for Even a Day

Song Ni smiled and moved a chair to sit opposite Su Jingxi. "To treat an illness, one must administer the right medicine. If you don't tell me who he is and how you argued, how can I teach you?" Su Jingxi, however, turned her head away again, no longer looking at Song Ni. She truly did not want to believe Song Ni anymore. Seeing her like this, Song Ni realized she had indeed treated her somewhat playfully just now. "Ahem, don't you want to reconcile with him?" Su Jingxi turned her back. "Hey! Let me tell you, the relationship between two people, a little quarrel is good for the relationship, but silence is the most taboo. When I used to give my man the silent treatment, I would always give him opportunities to contact me." Su Jingxi still refused to turn around. Song Ni crossed her legs, leaned back in her chair, appearing completely at ease. "Being dramatic also needs to be kept within limits. If you're too dramatic, and can't coax him back later, you'll be the one crying." Su Jingxi showed a hint of yielding. Seeing this, Song Ni's lips curled into a triumphant smile. "Oh, they say women are hard to coax, but sometimes, men are even harder to coax. Top-tier difficult. And men are very heartless; they can let go without hesitation, as if they have no heart." Su Jingxi was completely defeated. She turned around, her eyes looking tearfully at Song Ni. "Song Ni, if you play with me again, I will definitely not let you off." Song Ni immediately moved her chair closer and held up two fingers. "I have professional integrity." Su Jingxi was too lazy to quibble over Song Ni's wording. Although she was "heartbroken" by Song Ni, she still trusted Song Ni's character. Moreover... she would definitely help keep it a secret. "You know him too." Upon hearing this, Song Ni's eyes widened abruptly, and she scanned every corner of the set. Which male actor? Or which staff member? Su Jingxi softly uttered a name, and Song Ni immediately jumped out of her chair. "What?!" This loud exclamation attracted the attention of many people. Su Jingxi's brow furrowed, and Song Ni immediately smiled and waved at the onlookers. After everyone resumed their tasks, Song Ni leaned closer to Su Jingxi and asked uncertainly, "Is it Li Jing that I know?" Su Jingxi gave a hum. "Li Jing, Li Jing! Is the end of the universe your Li Jing??" Su Jingxi looked at Song Ni coolly. "Say one more word and I'll send him to you. He was angry like this last time, wasn't he?" "Last time?" Song Ni's brow furrowed, and then her eyes widened. "You were there last time too?!" "Mm." Last time, let alone Tan Zheng, even the chanting from the entire stadium made him frown. Song Ni felt like she had stumbled upon a massive secret today, and it was a big and sweet one. "You said you flew back to watch Li Jing's performance. Since you could hear my voice, it means you were very close to me. Damn, Su Jingxi, you're so bold to sit so close." Su Jingxi crossed her legs again. "Everyone didn't know, after all." Indeed, in the public eye, Su Jingxi and Li Jing were people from completely different worlds. However... it was still too daring. "Is this overt favoritism?" Su Jingxi chuckled. "Speaking of which, I should thank you." Su Jingxi's reputation was far greater than Song Ni's, and his whereabouts were naturally more closely monitored, not just by fans but also by anti-fans, sasaengs, paparazzi, and even rival companies. So many people were watching him. If it weren't for the scandal between Song Ni and Lu Haoting that made it onto the trending list last time, he might have been exposed for flying to Xingcheng. After all, many people made a living by following trending topics. Song Ni also thought of that incident. She never expected that the singer she liked would be with Su Jingxi. Su Jingxi seemed a bit impatient due to the cold war and was anxious. "So, tell me quickly how to coax a man." "Let me think carefully. After all, he's my idol." Su Jingxi: ...Damn, why did he feel like finding Song Ni was a mistake? Wouldn't Song Ni use this opportunity to gain some attention in front of Li Jing? ...Someone still managed to take a photo of Song Ni and Su Jingxi, but it wasn't interpreted as romance. Instead, it was wildly developed into friendship. The main reason was that Su Jingxi always presented a gentle image to the public, while Song Ni, as a newcomer who had been on the trending list a few times, had already established the image of a rich young lady who dared to love and hate in the public's mind. This scene looked like even the extremely gentle film emperor couldn't do anything about the young lady and had to submit. Coupled with their age difference, fans didn't think there would be any sparks. Moreover, with the influence of their roles in the drama, their friendship could also be enthusiastically "shipped." However, to avoid affecting their idols, the fans only "shipped" them in small circles and didn't cause much of a stir. Su Jingxi's agent discovered this phenomenon and told Su Jingxi, who simply said to let it develop. Song Ni taught him a move: the sob story. What did Song Ni say at the time? "Li Jing is in Xingcheng, and it's convenient to come to Yu City. It's so close, the sob story is the most effective." Of course, Su Jingxi wouldn't know that this move was also a trick Song Ni had used on Tan Zheng. ...In Tan Zheng's absence, Song Ni focused all her energy on filming, wishing she had forty-eight hours in a day to finish sooner. Sometimes, when she couldn't film more due to irresistible factors, she would go to ROX's training base in Yu City to practice the cornering technique Tan Zheng liked the most, as taught by Tang Qinyun. In Yu City, there was a retired racing coach who was currently in charge of planning domestic racing events, and he was more than enough to train Song Ni. Of course, at Song Ni's request, the coach did not mention this matter to Tan Zheng. However, the bodyguards could not have kept it from Tan Zheng. Coupled with what Sheng Jiang's kid was up to, Tan Zheng basically confirmed that Song Ni was indeed practicing her driving skills. And with her secretive attitude, asking Sheng Jiang and the coach to hide it from him, was she trying to give him a surprise? Thinking of this, Tan Zheng found the young girl even more endearing. He really couldn't stay in America for another day. Tan Zheng once again pushed open Xi Jinjiang's hospital room. Since that day on the rooftop, Xi Jinjiang had not spoken to anyone, including Tan Zheng. He had become so thin he was unrecognizable. It was snowing heavily again today, and it was very cold. Tan Zheng asked, "Do you want to go home for Chinese New Year this year?" Xi Jinjiang, curled up in the corner, did not respond. "Your hometown is in the south. Although it doesn't snow at this time, it's still very cold, and it rains a lot. "Uncle and Aunt are getting old. This time last year, they were often in the hospital. "The weather is damp and cold, and their legs can't take it." "Other families celebrate Chinese New Year with joy and family reunions, but Uncle and Aunt can only celebrate casually. On such a festive day, there are only a few dishes on the table." Tan Zheng lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "No matter what, you are their son." As he spoke, the person curled up in the corner moved slightly.
