Chapter 305: 140 Cut-off (second revision)
Ming Jing placed a new phone on the table. “If you want to become a wandering ghost, you can leave now.”
The girl’s emotionless voice caused Ye Zhen’s heart to tighten suddenly.
“Where can I go now when I have no one to rely on? Besides, you promised to help me find out the cause of my death. Anyway, I’m clinging to you now.”
Ming Jing handed her a string of Buddhist beads: ‘Wear this on your body; it’s good for your health. ”
Ye Zhen took it and glanced at the beads. They were simple and elegant, each bead perfectly round and smooth, as if they had been frequently held by their owner, forming a natural patina over time.
The Buddhist beads felt warm to the touch, as if they had absorbed their owner’s body heat. Amazingly, the moment Ye Zhen touched the beads, a warmth spread from the beads into her body, as if she were immersed in a hot spring. Every pore on her body opened up, her ears became clear, her eyes bright, and the gloomy atmosphere completely dissipated.
Ye Zhen knew that these Buddhist beads were always worn on Ming Jing’s wrist and were her personal items. They must have been precious.
She put the beads around her wrist and pulled her sleeves down to cover them. She didn’t know why, but she felt a sense of security.
“Thank you.”
Even if she knew Ming Jing was only doing this for her senior sister’s sake, Ye Zhen still felt a warmth in her heart at that moment.
“Rest well and call me if you need anything.” Ming Jing gave her instructions and left.
As soon as Ming Jing walked out of the door, she saw Qu Feitai waiting outside. Seeing her exit, he immediately stood up.
“Are you going back to the Zhu family this late?” Qu Feitai seemed to have just taken a shower, his hair still damp. His beautiful eyes were as clear as a sky washed by rain, reflecting Ming Jing’s figure.
“Yes.”
Ming Jing didn’t stop walking and entered the elevator, Qu Feitai hesitated for a moment, then chased after her: “I’ll walk you to the parking lot.”
He slipped in just before the elevator doors closed.
As the elevator descended, their breaths could be heard clearly in the confined space. Qu Feitai’s nose caught the familiar fragrance once again.
“You should go up. Be cautious, even at this late hour.” Ming Jing said softly.
“Alright.” Qu Feitai’s eyes lingered on her skirt hem, his heart racing uncontrollably.
“I’m leaving the day after tomorrow.” Qu Feitai said.
Ming Jing remembered what Zheng Qing had said about the variety show wanting Qu Feitai.
“Where are you going?”
Qu Feitai’s eyes lit up; Ming Jing finally asked him a question voluntarily.
“My agent has arranged a variety show for me. It’s near Jiangzhou, about an hour’s drive. It might take two or three days to film. After the show, I’ll head straight back to Jingdu.”
His elder brother didn’t want him to stay in Jiangzhou, both because of the Qinglong Association and the distance from Jingdu, which made it difficult to respond in case of an emergency.
Especially when his elder brother found out that Ming Jing had contact with Ran Tengxiao, he was even more opposed to Qu Feitai staying in Jiangzhou. If it weren’t for his strong objection, Yun MO would have taken him away long ago.
Qu Feitai felt melancholic about the imminent separation. Why did Jiangzhou have to be so far away from Jingdu? Why couldn’t he break free from his brother’s control even after leaving home? A deep sense of helplessness arose from his heart, causing him to clench his fists unconsciously.
What did it matter if he was a top celebrity, a music superstar? At this moment, he was just a coward who didn’t have the courage to confess his feelings to the girl he liked.
The elevator door dinged open, and Ming Jing walked out. After taking a few steps, she turned her head and looked at him: “Live your life well. A pleasant surprise might be just around the next corner.”
Having said that, she turned around and left.
The elevator door slowly closed, cutting off the view of the girl’s graceful figure.
Qu Feitai was puzzled, wondering what Ming Jing meant.
At that moment, his phone rang. Qu Feitai looked at the screen; it was Huang Chao calling, so he hung up immediately.
Huang Chao was helpless too. He had agreed to give Xiao Fei a month off, but who could have expected the variety show’s production team to contact him suddenly, inviting Qu Feitai to participate? Huang Chao initially wanted to refuse, but the production staff brought out the television executive who had given Qu Feitai plenty of opportunities when he first debuted. This favor had to be repaid.
An already unhappy Qu Feitai ignored Huang Chao when he learned about the news.. Huang Chao thought gloomily that although other shows had invited Qu Feitai before and were refused, why did the television executive get involved this time? Was this instance different from the previous ones?
