Chapter 222

Lu Jinnian turned, taking large strides to the side of the road . He reached out his hand and a cab stopped instantly . He entered the car, leaving in a flash .

It was less than two minutes from the moment he arrived to the moment he left . He was gone without saying a word, as though he was just there to get a free ride .

Qiao Anhao had a night scene to film, which meant she had to rush back to the set . Not wanting to disrupt Qiao Anxia and Cheng Yang, she left, allowing the two of them to continue with their original dinner plan . Qiao Anhao drove the badly crushed car, returning to the mountain lodge .

–

After dinner, Qiao Anhao returned to the set to change and get her make up done . After preparing, there was still almost half an hour before she was due for filming .

The crew were preparing the props, and the set was in a chaos . The other actors were still preparing and Zhao Meng had gone to the toilet due to a stomach ache . Qiao Anhao roamed around aimlessly since she didn’t want to sit in boredom .

The mountain lodge was in a famous mountainous region in the outskirts of Beijing, the scenery was beautiful, and at night, when the colored lights were lit, it looked like a fairytale . Qiao Anhao treaded on the rocks carefully, walking forward aimlessly . When she ended up at the pavilion, she saw Lu Jinnian standing alone, looking at the lighthouse across the lake, seemingly deep in thoughts .

Qiao Anhao wasn’t surprised to see him on set as he had a scene that night as well .

She stopped, gazing at him . She hesitated slightly before climbing the stairs slowly towards the pavilion .

Sensing that someone was near, Lu Jinnian turned . The moment he saw her, he was momentarily shocked before quickly extinguishing the cigarette in his hand .

The Qiao Anhao in the past would never have dared to disrupt Lu Jinnian, but after staying together when they were injured, she seemed to have grown closer to him . They were no longer as distant as before, seemingly returning back to their high school days . Even if they weren’t close, they could still hold a conversation .

When she was about one meter away, Qiao Anhao stopped . Grabbing her skirt, she panicked slightly before tilting her head to smile at him . With a gentle tone, she asked, “You finished preparing?”

Lu Jinnian seemed surprised that she would initiate a conversation . He fell into a daze, then hurriedly nodded his head, replying with a soft “Yea” . After a short while, he added, “Guys are usually faster . “

Even though he had only said five words in total, Qiao Anhao couldn’t help the happiness bubbling inside her . Just like many years ago in high school, she would often appear in places he frequented, and when she bumped into him, she would greet him enthusiastically . His reply would bring her joy, just like it was doing right now .

“Even without makeup, you would look amazing . “

Lu Jinnian curled his lips into a smile, turning to look at Qiao Anhao who was surrounded by colorful lights . Casually, he asked, “This afternoon, I heard Cheng Yang mention that you and Qiao Anxia had a car accident?”
