Chapter 1035 - 945: Still Holding a Grudge
While carefully cleaning the wound with sterilized tweezers and cotton balls, she said, "Even if it’s not very painful, you can’t just act like nothing happened, right? In the next few days, with more scenes to shoot, even looking at the script, your arm will hurt.""You’re worried about that? As long as it doesn’t affect my daily life, it’s fine. Besides, the bleeding has stopped, and the swelling will go down in a couple of days."
Qin Miaomiao spoke casually, as if it wasn’t her bleeding, as if the swelling wasn’t her own. She was like a puppet without feeling or sensation, allowing her assistant to handle the wound.
"You know, if people could just feel nothing, it would be great. No pain, no sadness, there wouldn’t be so many troublesome things."
"Sister Jiaojiao, are you numb from the pain?"
Xu Jiaojiao heard the assistant’s words and asked herself whether she had become numb from the pain. How else could she not feel even the bleeding?
"Perhaps I am numb."
The assistant saw Xu Jiaojiao’s dazed expression and looked at her, confused, not saying anything else for a moment.
Due to the injury, Xu Jiaojiao’s scenes were postponed by a day. She had time to get some sleep and think through things with Jin Jing. She wondered when this love triangle would ever resolve, not knowing whether continuation would make things worse or reveal another way out. She couldn’t foresee it at all.
"I wonder what he’s doing now. He always thinks his pride is most important, believing that lowering himself to explain things to me is far from what I want. From start to finish, he hasn’t figured out how to resolve the matter, nor has he responded directly to how he treats Yue Chengjun."
All Xu Jiaojiao wanted was a definitive answer.
She could sense Jin Jing’s wavering, even seeing from his expression his special feelings towards the child. This was what hurt her the most. Suddenly burying her head in the pillow, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, breaking all her strength at this moment.
Nightfall wasn’t the busiest time in the bar; one had to wait until after eleven for the crowd to gather and the first wave of excitement to hit.
The man sitting at the bar had two buttons undone on his shirt, deliberately dressed in black to avoid attention. He drank one concoction after another from the bartender.
"What on earth do I need to do to end this cold war..."
Suddenly, Jin Jing stopped, staring at the glass but unable to find an answer, rather feeling this love triangle’s worst outcome becoming clearer inside.
"Forget it, might as well drink to the point of forgetting."
Jin Jing said with squinted eyes, his gaze starting to grow dispersed.
"I’m stepping out for a bit, you all go on."
Unable to stand those rowdy fellows, Meng Yan, having not seen them for a few months, found them drinking and playing games with abandon. Whoever lost had to drink from the line of shot glasses. The more he thought about it, the more he realized continuing would surely lead to drinking himself sick tonight.
"Better find a place to hide and be lazy."
He rarely came to the bar specifically to drink, only meeting with classmates or friends he hadn’t seen in a while. Seeing there was still half an hour before midnight, he decided to step out for some fresh air.
Passing the bar, he noticed a man in a black shirt, slumped there, chatting idly with the bartender, looking like he was heartbroken.
He suddenly stopped as he passed behind him, surprised, and pointed at him saying, "Jin Jing?"
