Chapter 77 - The Man in the Bamboo Forest
“Speaking of, Mommy’s room is very pretty too. There are a lot of bamboos outside. You know bamboos? That’s what that giant pandas like to eat. You want to take a look at them?”
Chi Ying switch the camera from the front one to the back one –
Standing within the layers of bamboos was a slender man. Blending into the night, Chi Ying had no idea when he got there.
The moonlight pouring down on his hair make it looked like he had ice on his head.
Chi Ying gasped and immediately hung up the phone.
Chi Cheng called out in fear, “Grandma, Mommy disappeared!”
“It’s fine,” said Jing Zheng lovingly as she scooped him into her arms. “The signal is bad where she is. Mommy is fine. Let’s go to bed.:
Chi Cheng pouted unhappily. “I haven’t seen the bamboos yet.”
Feeling unjust, he pressed to redial but it never reconnected.
Chi Ying walked over to the window and pulled the curtains shut. She didn’t want to look at the scenery anymore.
Suddenly, her phone that she had tossed onto the bed rang.
“Come on out,” came Lu JingYan’s cold and steady voice.
Chi Ying was a bit angry but she tried to best to make her voice sound as calm as possible. “You can tell me what you want over the phone. Now’s not a good time.”
“Not a good time?”
“That’s right.”
“Then I am going to go inside.”
“……”
The entire filming crew was staying over at this homestay. If Lu JingYan came looking for her in the middle of the night, there would be so much rumors about it by tomorrow. She couldn’t have that so she gave in and said, “Okay, wait for me then.”
Chi Ying tidied her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked toward the bamboo forest.
The bamboos were dense and the air smelled like cherry blossom.
Lu JingYan was standing there with his back straight. His eyes dark and profound and he was looking at Chi Ying through the dark of night.
Chi Ying, with no makeup on, her skin glowed like ivory and her lips were its natural red color. She had a pure kind of pretty rather than the kind that was brought out by makeup.
But the way she was looking at Lu JingYan was cold. His heart sank a little.
He wanted to talk to her but now he didn’t know where to start.
Chi Ying snickered, “I didn’t know that the most exalted successor of Oushi is a peeping tom.”
Lu JingYan frowned a little and said coldly. “You let your guard down too easily. That’s why others were able to take advantage of you.”
“Boss Lu.” Chi Ying was angry now. She balled her hands up into fists and her nails dug into her palms.
Lu JingYan’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down but he didn’t say a word in the end.
Chi Ying gritted her teeth and said, “I appreciate your giving me the opportunity to join Oushi and appreciate your help. But I am not going to add you on Wechat, nor would I show up around you. I owe you one, if there’s anything I can do for you, I will give it my best within my abilities. But, as you know, there is only so much that I can do. I’d appreciate it if you can keep a distant from me otherwise.”
Having said that, she turned around and walked away decisively.
Under the cloak of the quiet and dark night, the mountains looked like giant monsters lurking around and bringing oppression and fear to everyone.
The fog floating in the hair started to cool and Chi Ying heard a barely audible noise from behind her, “I’m sorry.”
Lu JingYan’s magnetic voice floated in the air. It sounded deep and far away.

Inside the coffee shop in the northern part of the city, Shu Bai was sitting in a corner, her face pale. Glaring at the air in front of her, her eyes were unfocused, like a doll without a soul.
She finally looked up languidly when a woman carrying a designer brand purse and wearing a pair of high heels hurried in front of her.
