A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return-Chapter 1355

Chapter 1355: Jiang Yu, the Male God

Xia Yingluo resisted the physical discomfort. Her face was pale and she slowly walked out.

She brushed past Wei Lingnan and her hair brushed past his shoulder. He could smell the faint scent on her. It was very special, perhaps because she was impregnated with the World Tree, which reminded him of his distant hometown. He almost reached out and held her, but he restrained himself and watched as she silently left the dressing room.

Xia Yingluo was solitary and walked step by step into the sinking twilight.

The crew had been setting the scene for the past few days. There was a sparkling lake not far away, and a long wooden plank road extended along the lake.

She walked aimlessly along the boardwalk, and the sound of the water slammed against the shore. She crouched down in the dusk, curled up and hugged herself, and made a sorrowful sound like that of an injured beast. Only here, at this moment, when she was alone, did she dare to let the sadness break. The scene of Wei Lingnan protecting Gu Jinxiu in front of her resurfaced in her mind. Even if she told herself not to think about it, it was useless. She clearly remembered how tenderly he cared for her and how he touched her neck, full of affection…

She used to love him so much and regarded him as life.

She never thought that he would turn against her.

“Nan…” she said with a sobbing sound. Thinking of back on the Skatana Planet, he had said that he would protect her for a lifetime. Come to think of it, maybe they were bounded by the Guardian identity since a long time ago, and he couldn’t change it at all.

Now, on Earth, he didn’t want her anymore since there were other women to choose from.

She buried her head in her arm, and her thin shoulders shuddered. She was so sad she was about to die.

She didn’t know how much time passed, but she felt a warmth coming from her shoulders as if there was a piece of clothing on her. She stopped sobbing, raised her head, and saw someone on the boardwalk. His handsome appearance was pleasant in the sunset.

It was Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu squatted down and looked at her, his voice soft. “Why are you crying here alone?”

His voice made her nose sore, and she was about to cry again. She quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and said fiercely, “I’m not crying!” She was the Queen of the Skatana Planet.

Jiang Yu smiled, however, and said with affection and intolerance, “Why are you pretending in front of me. Your acting skill is horrible.”

Her tears flowed indiscriminately. “How could say my acting is bad!” She buried her head in her arms again and began to cry.

Jiang Yu looked at her distressedly and half-knelt on the old wooden boardwalk. He reached out to embrace her. Her body stiffened and she wanted to get rid of his arms but didn’t break away. His gentle voice rang again. “Sorry, I shouldn’t laugh at your poor acting.”

She wept even harder as if he had helped her find an excuse for her to let go.

Her thin body trembled lightly in his arms, and it took a long time for her cry to fade away.

He stroked her long hair until she cried enough, and then said, “Let’s go, it’s going to be dark soon. Let me take you home.”

Only now did she remember how much time had passed. She looked up at him, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

“Why are you here?” she asked with a hoarse voice.

Jiang Yu said, “When I ended work, I heard that Gu Jinxiu came to you. I wasn’t assured, so I was waiting nearby. I saw you coming out alone looking so depressed. I was afraid something would happen, so I came to see you.”

So, he didn’t see Wei Lingnan?

Xia Yingluo was stunned and understood that the man always appeared and disappeared rapidly, so it was normal that Jiang Yu didn’t see him.

She whispered, “Thank you for staying with me.”

Jiang Yu smiled softly. “What a silly thing to say. We’re friends.” He reached out to her.

With the last rays of the setting sun, his palms were dry and warm, and he stood in front of her like a trustworthy mountain. She looked at his hand for a long time, and slowly put out her hand, which he held firmly.

He pulled her up and brought her to walk along the path of the boardwalk.

The sound of the water waves patted behind them quietly.

The crew had already finished work and the staff was gone. Only Tan Ying, her assistant and several assistants around him were still in the temporary shed. They drank cold water while glancing in the direction of the lake from time to time.

Seeing the two returning hand in hand, everyone stood up and greeted them.

Tan Ying’s eyes flashed unnoticeably at their hands. “Do you still know to come back?”

Xia Yingluo tried to pull out her hand away, but Jiang Yu held it tighter. With a smile, he said to the crowd, “Let’s go, I’ll send you home.”

Tan Ying raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xia Yingluo. He saw that she had no objection, so he also said, “Let’s go.” He turned around and left. He was taking care of this missy because of Li Lei’s order, and he also understood that Li Lei wanted to match her with Jiang Yu. Since Jiang Yu offered to send her back, outsiders shouldn’t destroy the good atmosphere. In particular, she saw tears in the corners of Xia Yingluo’s eyes. He didn’t know what conflicts she had with Gu Jinxiu, and what sadness was caused, but in any case, it was a good time for Jiang Yu to take advantage of the situation.

Tan Ying got into his car wisely.

Jiang Yu’s assistants also dispersed, and soon, the set really became empty.

“Let’s go,” Jiang Yu said to Xia Yingluo. “My car is parked not far ahead, I’ll take you there.”

Xia Yingluo answered gently and walked with him.

The two didn’t speak and walked quietly for a while. Jiang Yu was tall and had big strides, but he was very attentive to Xia Yingluo’s steps and walked slowly. Out of the set, a luxurious Lamborghini was parked in the shadow of a street lamp. Jiang Yu said to Xia Yingluo, “Wait here, I’ll get the car over.”

Xia Yingluo responded, and she stood there and waited.

The night wind blew across her placket.

She didn’t expect an unforeseen event to accept here!

Suddenly, a mineral water bottle flew over and hit her severely. She was caught off guard and yelped when it hit her. Looking up, she saw a stout girl sticking her head out of the bushes not far away and shouting at her, “Bitch! Shameless! You dare to cheat on my Jiang Yu, the male God!”

After shouting, she ran away without waiting for her response.

She was drenched with water and tried to rub it off. Jiang Yu heard the movement, so he ran over and asked incessantly, “What’s wrong? Are you all right?”

She shook her head. “It’s okay, it’s just your little fan.” What could she say about such a thing? She couldn’t really hold it against them and splash them back with a bottle of mineral water, could she?
