Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sun Hu felt that Jing MO was acting unusually today, he hadn't said a word throughout the journey. Although Jing MO usually remained silent in the car, there was an especially heavy atmosphere today.

With a tone of certainty, Sun Hu said, “You're treating Xia Xin differently. Could it be that you've fallen for her?”

“No.” Jing MO immediately denied it.

Sun Hu's gaze became teasing and said, “Looks like you have. Come clean. What happened between you two while I was away?”

Jing MO had initially been resting his eyes, but he suddenly opened them, his narrow eyes fixed on Sun Hu. Sun Hu felt a chill down his spine, a wave of murderous intent washing over him. He shut up immediately.

However, after only half a minute of silence, curiosity got the better of him. He continued, “Jing MO, we've known each other for almost ten years. There's nothing about your life or the people you know that I don't know. Did you and Xia Xin know each other ten years ago?”

Jing MO didn't answer, instead, his gaze drifted out of the window, rejecting conversation.

Meanwhile, Xia Xin was still contemplating why she had suddenly sensed the falling rock. If Jing MO hadn't brought it up, she would have overlooked this detail.

Xia Xin speculated, 'Could the newly added attribute, Reflex, from the system upgrade refer to the ability to perceive danger? If that were the case, this Reflex attribute was truly a significant enhancement! In the future, I would become increasingly sensitive to danger. Not only could I avoid trouble for myself, but I could also timely help others before accidents happened. It was indeed a multi-faceted advantage!'

Xia Xin's phone suddenly began to receive a series of messages, so she quickly checked it.

Zhao Nan had sent her over a dozen WeChat messages, asking about her current whereabouts, and how her wound was being treated, and her tone in typing was filled with urgency.

Before Xia Xin could reply to the messages, Zhao Nan's call came in. Anxiously, she asked, “Xin, how's your arm? Is it serious? Where are you now? Why haven't I seen you backstage? Send me your location, and I'll come find you.”

Xia Xin smiled and said, “You're bombarding me with so many questions at once. Which one should I answer first?”

Zhao Nan wasn't in the mood for jokes and said, “The filming has ended. Where are you now? I'm coming to find you.”

Xia Xin replied, “Don't worry. It's just a scratch and nothing serious. The wound has been treated. You can go to the rest area in the panda enclosure and wait for me. There was an issue with the rockery, and I need to discuss it with the director.”

Zhao Nan was very worried about Xia Xin but didn't want to disrupt her work, so she could only follow Xia Xin's arrangement.

Xia Xin also reminded Zhao Nan to bring Layle and Slowpoke from backstage to the rest area in the panda enclosure.

When Zhao Nan was packing up to leave, Xu Zhi suddenly called out to her,

“Miss Zhao Nan, wait a moment.”

If it weren't for her concern about Xia Xin's arm, Zhao Nan, who was normally indifferent to star power, would have been ecstatic to be addressed by her idol's name. At this moment, Zhao Nan would have been ready to jump up with excitement and record this moment for posterity, sharing it on various social media platforms.

However, Zhao Nan quickly came to her senses and asked, “Wait a minute, what did you just call me?”

Xu Zhi blinked his bright, clear eyes at Zhao Nan. He said, “Yeah, is there a problem? Don't tell me you have forgotten about me too?”

Zhao Nan looked at Xu Zhi's handsome face so close to hers, and couldn't help but gulp, cursing her bad luck secretly. While doing so, she extended her arm, creating some distance between them, and said, “Let's just talk. Don't get so close.”

Xu Zhi looked somewhat dejected. He obediently stepped back and then explained the incident of moving luggage to Zhao Nan.

Zhao Nan still vividly remembered that luggage-moving incident. She exclaimed in surprise, “It was you!”

The next scene was about to be shot. The assistant director came to urge Xu Zhi onto the stage. As Xu Zhi was leaving, he instructed Zhao Nan, “After today's recording is done, I'll treat you and Xia Xin to dinner. Wait for me at the back door of the zoo. Make sure to wait for me!”

Xu Zhi emphasized that with concern.

Zhao Nan nodded blankly. Having dinner with her idol and Xia Xin was something that would make any fan in the entire fandom envious. It felt like a dream come true. Zhao Nan couldn't help but feel very lucky today.

After treating her wound, Xia Xin went straight to the office of the zoo director to explain the situation.

Lu Yuan saw Xia Xin and was very concerned about her wound. After confirming that it had been properly bandaged, he discussed the main topic..
