Chapter 29.2

The next day when Jin Lie arrived at the golf course, Li Xiunan was already there. He was sitting in a golf cart making a call, and after seeing Jin Lie, he said a few words and then hung up the phone.

“You’re good at picking the weather.”

The weather today is like a gust of wind, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny. Who knows when it might rain.

“You won’t die if it rains.”

Jin Lie was dressed in black casual pants and a white POLO shirt, with a light gray baseball cap on his head, looking neat and refreshing.

He put the golf bag on the car, and the watch on his wrist shone in the sunlight. Li Xiunan squinted his eyes and suddenly laughed.

“Do you have time to play with me because your wife hasn’t come back yet?”

He and Jin Lie grew up together, so naturally he knew about his affairs. He originally thought that he would be very happy to return to singlehood this year, but he didn’t expect that his face had never been sunny since his wife ran away from home.

Indeed, that day at the club, he could abandon them without hesitation just to accompany Su Qian home, he should have guessed that this guy had fallen.

He still remembers two years ago when Jin Lie was determined to find a lawyer to draft a contract and a divorce agreement, who would have thought that things are different now, the one who was abandoned has become him.

“You had to mess with those things, now you’ve lifted a rock and hit your own foot.”

Jin Lie gave him a cold look, didn’t say a word, and got straight into the car. The golf course was not far away, Li Xiunan took out his golf club ready to show off his skills, but was completely crushed by Jin Lie after a few rounds.

Well, he shouldn’t have been talkative just now.

The caddy picked up the ball, and the two returned to the car to rest and drink water, and chatted about work in the comfortable breeze.

A group of people suddenly came over from not far away. Some were carrying cameras, some were holding light boards, and a few men and women in the middle were wearing the same style but different colored clothes, chatting and laughing.

“Are they recording a show?”

Jin Lie held a water bottle in his hand and didn’t speak, but his gaze was always on a certain point over there.

When they got closer, the program team began to set up the venue. A group of people sat on the ground and listened to the director speak.

Li Xiunan suddenly saw a familiar figure, “Isn’t that…”

He turned his head and saw Jin Lie staring intently over there, and suddenly realized, “No wonder you insisted on playing golf today, your real intention is not the game itself!”

Jin Lie wasn’t listening to his friend’s babbling at all, all his attention was on Su Qian. Watching her chat and laugh with a few young guys next to her, he felt like he was sitting not in a car, but on a lemon tree.

The more beautiful the picture, the more dazzling it is.

“Do you think it’s strange for me to stand with Su Qian?”

“Not at all.” Li Xiunan looked at Jin Lie, then curled his lips secretly, “But it seems better for her to be with people her own age.”

Jin Lie’s eyelids twitched, and he emphasized expressionlessly, “I’m only four years older than her.”

“There’s a generation gap every three years! Let me ask you, do you know what ‘yyds’ means?”

Jin Lie remained silent.

What is it?

He pursed his lips.

Li Xiunan laughed, “See, you don’t even know!”

“Do you know what it means?”

“Of course!”

Jin Lie mocked, “Then where is your girlfriend and wife?”

Li Xiunan: “……”

Jin Lie: “I see, you’re going to spend the rest of your life holding onto these eight letters.”

“……”

That’s too harsh, isn’t it? How can his desire for revenge be so strong!

Over there, the show had already started recording. The game was for the male guests to hold the female guests and pop other people’s balloons.

When Su Qian was picked up by that young man, the artery in Jin Lie’s neck immediately tightened.

…Why are there so many annoying flies!

Jin Lie stared intently at the man holding Su Qian, looking like he wanted to chop off his hand.

——

Li Xiunan was suddenly surprised. So everyone talks about love in the same way! He thought Jin Lie, being so proud, would be different!

“Cough, if you want to make up with Su Qian, why not do something practical.”

Jin Lie’s eyes flickered slightly, “Like what?”

Li Xiunan sincerely said, “Su Qian is an actress, right? The treatment of an actor with a backer and without a background is worlds apart.”

Jin Lie: “She said she wants to rely on her own strength.”

“That’s fine! Strength and having a background are not conflicting!”

“Forget it, I don’t want to listen to you, a single dog.”

Li Xiunan: “…”

Is it human to attack someone personally while giving them advice?!

In the middle of their conversation, a gust of wind blew, the clouds were dense, and large raindrops began to fall.

The group of people began to prepare to evacuate the scene, each person followed by one or two assistants, only Su Qian was alone.

Jin Lie picked up the umbrella from the car, opened it with a bang, and walked over.

There was only one unit on the golf course, fortunately, the recording had been completed. As everyone was preparing to evacuate, a man slowly walked over from a few meters away.

He was holding a black umbrella. His deep gaze penetrating the rain curtain and falling here.

A female artist recognized Jin Lie, her heart jumped twice, then she snatched the umbrella from the assistant’s hand and ran over, “Mr. Jin, why are you here? Your pants are wet, let me help you block it.”

As she said this, others also reacted, and they all braved the rain to greet Jin Lie.

Only Su Qian, struggling to hold up the umbrella, stood still in place.

“Is it over?” Jin Lie turned his head and asked the director.

“Ah, it’s over! We’ve finished shooting, we can’t shoot outside in such heavy rain.”

Jin Lie nodded, walked towards Su Qian, “Let’s go.”

She gripped the umbrella handle and asked softly, “What are you doing!”

“I’m taking you home. If you don’t leave, they will all have to wait here.”

Su Qian could already feel the gazes coming from all directions. She pursed her lips helplessly, said goodbye to everyone, and then started walking.

Jin Lie walked beside her, “Whose umbrella is this?”

The young man who was holding Su Qian and popping balloons quickly waved his hand, “It’s okay, I have another one, let Teacher Su use that one!”

“Thank you.” Jin Lie put his arm around Su Qian’s shoulder and brought her under his umbrella, took the umbrella from her hand, folded it up with one hand and handed it over, “She doesn’t need it anymore.”

Throughout the whole process, no one said a word. Jin Lie didn’t care what others thought, he held Su Qian’s shoulder and led her towards the golf cart.

“What on earth are you doing!”

Su Qian was somewhat annoyed by his domineering manner.

The rain was pouring down, falling on the grass and bringing out a fragrance of soil. Jin Lie tilted the umbrella towards her side, intentionally using the back of his hand to prevent her shoulder from getting wet.

“Why isn’t your assistant with you?”

“She’s sick. She took a leave.”

“Okay, it doesn’t matter. In the future, I’ll shield you from the wind and rain, you just need to keep moving forward.”

His voice mixed with the sound of the rain, as if it was knocking on her nerves one by one.

Su Qian suddenly stopped, turned around to face him, “Why do you say that? There’s no credibility at all.”

“You’re right, there really isn’t.”

Su Qian: “That’s why I don’t believe you!”

Jin Lie, in a good mood, curled the corner of his lips, reached out his hand and gently pulled her into his arms. The rain was falling, and under the umbrella, this little world was clean and warm.

“I mean there’s no one else. There’s no Feng Xianxian, and there’s no ‘white moonlight’.” He lowered his head, and his voice echoing in her ear, “From beginning to end, there’s only you.”

He said, “Su Qian, I like you.”
