Less than 10 minutes after leaving, Liang Xun took off his coat and waited for a few minutes before he dared to approach Jing Yao.
He paid special attention to these details now, afraid that he would accidentally catch the cold and Jing Yao would fall sick.
After Liang Xun sent Sun Jia out, Jing Yao quickly called Zhu Ling to verify it.
She thought that Zhu Ling agreed because she couldn’t reject Shen Yu’s parents’ enthusiasm, but she was wrong. Zhu Ling was much calmer about this. “1’11 go back with him tonight,” Zhu Ling said calmly.
Jing Yao was a little surprised. “You’re going back tonight?”
Zhu Ling nodded. “Yes, we’ve agreed with his company tomorrow that we’ll attend a press conference together. Recently, many of Shen Yu’s fans have been causing a ruckus. I don’t know who spread the news that Shen Yu is preparing to leave the industry, but his fans have been trying to verify this through many channels.”
Jing Yao had heard of this too. “But he just got discharged from the hospital and hasn’t fully recovered. Can he handle it?”
Zhu Ling said, “No problem. I’ll accompany him when the time comes. Since it’s already like this, why don’t we just come out openly?”
Jing Yao did not say anything.
This path was not easy. Shen Yu had many fans, and there were all kinds of monsters among his fans.
“Alright, don’t worry. Shen Yu won’t stay in the entertainment industry forever,” Zhu Ling advised.
Jing Yao was puzzled. “Is he really going to leave the industry?”
Zhu Ling said, “It’s only a matter of time before he leaves the entertainment industry. Who can stay in the entertainment industry for the whole of their lives? It was the same as what we agreed on back then. I used to think that Shen Yu wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Later on, I realized that he actually just liked to film. He naturally left the industry after filming enough.”
“Also, his father is old. Shen Zhao doesn’t like to manage the company, so he has to bear some responsibilities. He had achieved his dream as he pleased when he was young. He’s already luckier than many people. Why don’t you ask your Liang Xun if Shen Yu is luckier than him?”
Jing Yao was a little confused. Why did she have to ask Liang Xun?
However, she did not know much about Liang Xun’s past. What kind of person was Liang Xun in the past? Shen Yu had the idea of becoming an actor in high school, so what about Liang Xun?
What did he want to do back then?
“There will be a live-stream for tomorrow’s press conference. If you’re still worried, you can take a look,” Zhu Ling said.
Jing Yao nodded. “One more thing. Why did you suddenly promise Shen Yu to go home with him for the new year?”
Zhu Ling said calmly, “Since we’ve already decided to be together, there’s no need to take those detours. It’s better to speed up the process and save time and effort.”
Jing Yao was speechless.
As expected, Zhu Ling was still as energetic as before. She was bold and determined and kept her word.
After hanging up, Jing Yao noticed Liang Xun, who had already entered. He stood quite far away from her and didn’t come over.
Jing Yao looked over suspiciously. “Why are you standing there? Come here.”
Liang Xun felt that the coldness in his body had mostly dissipated, so he sat beside Jing Yao.
“Lingling said that she’s holding a press conference with Shen Yu tomorrow.” Jing Yao told Liang Xun what she had heard from Zhu Ling.
Liang Xun nodded. “Yes, Shen Yu can handle this himself.”
Jing Yao found a comfortable position and snuggled into his arms. She said, “Shen Yu will leave the industry?”
Liang Xun placed his large palm in her stomach and caressed it gently, as if he was greeting a baby. He still said calmly, “He told me about this before he entered the entertainment industry, but he won’t retire so soon. There are still a few years. Didn’t you realize that he doesn’t value commercial value when choosing a script now? He doesn’t want to win an award either. It’s up to his preferences now.”
Jing Yao nodded. That was true. Shen Yu was actually luckier than many people. His family supported him fully. He had already fulfilled his youthful dream.
At the thought of this, Jing Yao suddenly looked at Liang Xun. “Everyone has a dream when they’re young. What is your dream?”
Liang Xun paused for a moment before saying, “1 wanted to race in the past.”
Jing Yao nodded. She was not surprised by this answer. Sun Jia had told her that although Liang Xun was calm, he actually loved extreme sports the most when he was young. He was a hot-blooded young man.
“Then why didn’t you go in the end? Didn’t Dad and Mom agree?” Jing Yao asked.
Liang Xun shook his head. “Actually, I went and even reached the finals. However, 1 was injured in the finals and almost had my leg amputated.”
Jing Yao’s heart skipped a beat. She left his arms and sized up him several times.
Liang Xun regretted it when he saw her face turn pale.
He pulled her into his arms again and comforted her carefully. “It’s fine. I’m fine. I haven’t raced since then. I’m not interested in that anymore..”
