3420 At School

She then heard Yan Zhiqing ask, "Back then, when we were working for Director Wu, were you gossiping while looking at Xiao Cai and me? "

Shi Xiaoya was speechless. "..."

"Of course not!" exclaimed Shi Xiaoya.

Yan Zhiqing's eyes remained firm with disbelief as she stared at Shi Xiaoya. As a result, Shi Xiaoya gave in and said, "Alright then. Actually, I just have a good eye. I have always thought that you two were a good match and would eventually end up together."

"Look. I was right." Shi Xiaoya laughed awkwardly as she felt the pressure of Yan Zhiqing's stare. "Look at how good you two are. It means that I have a good eye."

"And now, something interesting is going on between Zhuofeng and Jiling. Don't you think so?" Shi Xiaoya said.

Old Mrs. Han was currently very busy. She was taking care of Han Linxun and Han Linzhe.

Although she was really busy, she still kept in mind that she had to solve Han Zhuofeng's personal issue.

Recently, Han Zhuoling had taken over Han Zhuofeng's work and had no time to worry about this. This was why Old Mrs. Han hadn't urged Han Zhuoling.

However, whenever Han Zhuoling wasn't that busy, Old Mrs. Han would always pay close attention to that matter.

To reduce the load for Han Zhuoling, Shi Xiaoya was always trying her best to keep a lookout for this.

And when she saw Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng walking together, she thought that there was a possibility for the two to develop a relationship.

When Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling came over, Shi Xiaoya heard Han Zhuofeng ask, "Aiya! I forgot. Aren't you going to check the hotel as well?"

Xie Jiling thought to herself. Han Zhuofeng was really someone who had no idea how to act like a stranger.

He was really good at ordering her to do things.

"There's no need for that. I have already checked the hotel. There's nothing bad there," said Xie Jiling.

Han Zhuofeng then felt a sense of relief.

Shi Xiaoya then said to Xie Jiling, "Jiling, do you still have protection talismans? We would like to buy some."

Shi Xiaoya had always believed in the supernatural. And now that she had witnessed how effective the protection talismans were, she thought it would be necessary to have some more.

"There's not much. How many do you want? I can draw some," Xie Jiling said.

The corner of Han Zhuofeng's mouth twitched. Xie Jiling made it sound as though the talismans were as cheap as cabbages and could be easily created by drawing them.

"I want ten." Shi Xiaoya said, "I will buy ten for Zhuoling as well."

The talisman had shown a huge reaction. If it actually burnt, they could just contact Xie Jiling immediately, and ten talismans should buy them enough time for her to arrive.

Yan Zhiqing immediately said, "I want ten. Give Xiao Cai ten as well."

"That would be 40 pieces." Xie Jiling nodded and said, "Sure. Wait a second."

Xie Jiling took out a red gen pen and blank talisman papers from her bag.

She looked around and saw a collapsible table folded at the side. She then took it and started drawing while using it as a stand.

Drawing a talisman might seem simple.

But it actually required the use of mental power.

Therefore, it would take a long time to draw 40 pieces.

If it took a minute to draw one, she would would need 40 minutes.

In addition, if she used too much mental power, she would need to take a break to not affect the effectiveness of the next talisman.

So, Xie Jiling took over an hour to draw 40 pieces, and she then handed them over to Shi Xiaoya and Yan Zhiqing.

After doing all these things, Xie Jiling really felt tired.

In addition, she used a lot of mental power.

She clearly looked exhausted.

Her face was slightly pale.

When Han Zhuofeng saw this, he immediately helped Xie Jiling walk to Yan Zhiqing's camper van and sat her down.

He then poured a cup of warm water for her. "You don't look fine. Are you sure you are just tired?"

Looking at Xie Jiling's appearance, Han Zhuofeng wanted to add some wolfberry to her water.

"Yes. I didn't really rest. Plus, I used up too much of my mental power. I just need to go back and get a good rest," Xie Jiling said.

Han Zhuofeng felt bad. "This... You didn't get enough rest because I kept dragging you around and asking you to do this and that."

"It's alright. This is part of my job." Xie Jiling didn't care at all as she said, "Don't you have a lot of things to do? As the director, you should have a lot of things you need to deal with."

Han Zhuofeng was quite busy. At this moment, the assistant director was bombarding him with Wechat messages, urging him to work.

There was a two-seater sofa in the camper van.

Thankfully, Xie Jiling wasn't very tall. She was able to sleep on the two-seater sofa.

She yawned and said, "Let me take a nap. Please wake me up when the driver arrives."

"Alright. Sleep," Han Zhuofeng hurriedly said.

Han Zhuofeng thought to himself. It was no wonder that Xie Jiling said yes without any hesitation when he offered to ask the driver to come and pick her up.

Her current state didn't allow her to travel back by herself.

Xie Jiling fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes. She didn't waste any time.

When Han Zhuofeng saw how tired Xie Jiling was, he felt sorry.

Xie Jiling looked really young.

Even though she was so young, she was already doing such a dangerous job.

Han Zhuofeng wondered when she started exorcising.

Han Zhuofeng didn't disturb Xie Jiling. He went out and started working.

When the driver arrived, Han Zhuofeng came by and saw that Xie Jiling was still sleeping. And he felt bad waking her up.

Xie Jiling slept until the afternoon.

The driver waited until the afternoon.

Xie Jiling's mental power still hadn't fully recovered, but her nap had restored some of her mental power.

And now, it wasn't appropriate for her to be resting here. She had to go back.

While Xie Jiling was sleeping, Han Zhuofeng packed bags of food for her.

"If you are hungry while you are on the way back, you can eat some." Han Zhuofeng handed two big bags of food to Xie Jiling.

Xie Jiling thought to herself. 'This feels like family...'

Lu Man did the same thing. Lu Man was always worried about her starving, so Lu Man would always give her a lot of food.

***

After Xie Jiling left, the studio went back to its normal peaceful days.

Such peaceful days continued for a long time as Xie Jiling didn't accept any more commissions.

With peace of mind, she stayed in school and focused on being a student who prioritized learning.

One day, she finished her morning classes and was about to eat lunch with Ren Linna and the others at the canteen.

However, when she walked out of the academic building, she saw Han Zhuofeng standing by the door.

When he saw her, he quickly waved at her.

Xie Jiling was surprised and immediately walked over to Han Zhuofeng.

The University of B City was a big school. Students of different majors were usually strangers.

However, even though the students weren't familiar with each other, they were familiar with Han Zhuofeng.

After all, Han Zhuofeng was a public figure.

The fact that Xie Jiling actually knew Han Zhuofeng was something that many people didn't expect.

Many people thought that Xie Jiling was just an ordinary person.

But now, they witnessed Han Zhuofeng visiting Xie Jiling.

Many people were staring at them.

"Why are you here?" Xie Jiling asked, "Did you see something?"

It hadn't been long since they last met. And now, they meet again.

Han Zhuofeng was quite unfortunate.

"Not at all." Han Zhuofeng smiled and said, "The film crew and cast are taking a day off, so I came to see you."

"I asked my elder sister-in-law and heard that you are at the University of B City. They were worried about you. They're worried since you're alone and no one can take care of you in B City."
