Chapter 231 - 231 The Secrets of the Previous Life

231 The Secrets of the Previous Life

The bracelet on Su Ji’s wrist glowed in the dark.

In his sleep, Pei Huai furrowed his brows.

Why did he have such a dream after celebrating a nice birthday with Su Ji?

The dream this time was very short, with only a few blurry and flashing images.

He could not even see the person’s face clearly, but his intuition told him that it was Su Ji.

She was covered in injuries and was almost torn to pieces.

The pain was so intense that Pei Huai quickly woke up from his dream.

!!

Beside him, Su Ji was also awoken by him, but she was not completely awake. “You seemed to be talking to me in the language of the great Shang just now.”

Pei Huai stared at her and watched as she lay down beside him. The blood vessels in his eyes slowly disappeared. “Is that so?”

Su Ji turned to him. “Were you dreaming?”

Pei Huai’s expression was tense. He did not tell her about his dream. “I’m sorry for waking you up.”

Who was he? Who was Su Ji?

There was a question that was related to them.

If the question was answered, so were all the other questions.

The question was, how did he lose Su Ji in the past? How did Su Ji die?

In fact, the dream had already given him a hint. In the dream, the pain he felt when he put her in the coffin was a sign to him that Su Ji’s death was not natural.

However, looking at Su Ji, who’s alive and well, he really couldn’t imagine what she had gone through.

Su Ji sobered up a little and said with a half-smile, “I think I like sleeping alone better.”

His heart ached for her, but she was still smiling.

As if nothing mattered.

Pei Huai brushed away the loose hair on her forehead and kissed her. “In the future, you’ll realize that sleeping with someone is much better.”

The next day, everyone in the crew received a text message from Ren Guanghua.

His words were sharp when he clarified he and Su Ji’s relationship.

Finally, he gave a warning. The next time he heard someone spread such nonsense, he would not stand by!

In the morning, the crew had breakfast together, and everyone was silent for a long time as they looked at the text message in the group.

Now, they believed that Su Ji had nothing to do with Manager Ren, but…

To have Manager Ren clarify this and be so emotional about it…

They felt that something strange was going on with Su Ji.

Si Jingchuan did not go out to watch the commotion yesterday. He was having breakfast with Su Ji at the same table. “What did Tang Yimo do yesterday? I heard that she went to CEO Pei’s room…”

However, when his eyes met Su Ji’s, the corner of his mouth twitched. He suddenly remembered what he’d done yesterday.

He was not in the mood to gossip anymore. “I’m sorry, boss. I already said that place is not good, but you didn’t listen…”

Su Ji glanced at him and ignored him.

Seeing that his boss wasn’t angry anymore, Si Jingchuan started to smile cheekily at her.

At this moment, they heard the conversation from the next table.

“Where did CEO Pei sleep last night?”

“In his room?”

“But I heard that CEO Pei is a clean freak. It’s impossible for him to sleep in the bed that Tang Yimo slept in.”

“It should have been disinfected…”

Upon hearing that, Si Jingchuan moved a stool and sat down beside Su Ji mysteriously. “Boss, did CEO Pei spend the night in your room last night?”

He lived below Su Ji’s room, and he could hear the footsteps. She was not alone.

“Boss, did you and CEO Pei…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Ji picked up a peanut and threw it into his throat with precision.

Si Jingchuan choked. He almost died at the age of 25.

Tang Yimo’s incident was very frustrating. It happened so suddenly that Han Junlei could not find a new actress, so he changed the script and wiped out her scenes.

Maizi was Zhou Xuefang’s character’s best friend in the company. Now that she had lost her part, Zhou Xuefang had fewer lines as well.

During the break, Zhou Xuefang went to Han Junlei. “Shouldn’t I make up for the parts that I’ve missed out on?”

In fact, Han Junlei had already thought about this.

He glanced at her and said in a serious tone, “you should focus on acting. The arrangement of the scenes is up to the director and scriptwriter. It’s not your business. Go back and prepare for the next scene.”

Zhou Xuefang’s expression turned cold.

Everyone filmed until 1 o’clock in the afternoon. All the scenes to be shot in this country were finally completed.

Han Junlei and Huang Huayu stood in front of the monitor for a long time.

The surrounding staff members did not even dare to breathe.

After more than ten minutes, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

“It’s done! We killed it!”

“There are still a few hours left. You can go around and pack your luggage. We’ll meet at the airport on time!”

The crew erupted in cheers!

Pei Huai’s car was already waiting outside, and Su Ji got into his car the moment she left the set.

In order to catch up with the shooting progress, the crew didn’t even have lunch.

Pei Huai brought her to a local restaurant.

Su Ji felt that she could eat an entire menu.

Pei Huai had really ordered almost the entire everything on the menu for her.

While they were eating, Su Ji asked him, “what dream did you have last night? The last time I went to your house to deliver medicine, you also called my name when you woke up from your dream.”

“Nothing much,” Pei Huai smiled. “I just dreamed of some things from the past…”

“From the past? It hasn’t been that long since we met.”

“It felt like a lifetime ago.”

Su Ji did not use up the two big suitcases that Xu Mingzhi had prepared for her.

Therefore, she didn’t need much time to pack. She planned to have a leisurely meal here.

She remembered that she had to board the plane in the afternoon and should tell her mom in advance.

“I’m calling my mom,” she said to Pei Huai and took out her phone.

After two rings, Xu Mingzhi answered the call.

She tried her best to control it, but the more she did that, the more itchy her throat got. “Baby…cough, cough…”

“I just caught a little cold. Don’t worry, will you be back soon?”

Even though she said that, Su Ji still looked visibly nervous when she heard her cough.

She rarely had such an expression on her face.

This was because in her previous life, two weeks before Xu Mingzhi’s death, she was also coughing.

They all thought it was just a common cold. Later, they found out that when they traveled to a village, Xu Mingzhi was infected with a rare disease.

At that time, Su Ji’s medical skills were not that great, and there were no facilities.

The disease developed very quickly. By the time Su Ji developed a drug to control it, Xu Mingzhi could no longer be cured. The damage to her lungs was irreversible.

Su Ji had cured the entire village, but she had not been able to cure her mother.

She had promised her mother that she would enter the palace to be a “civil servant”.

Only then did Xu Mingzhi close her eyes in relief.

When she heard Xu Mingzhi coughing today, she felt as if she had returned to the past.

Moreover, she was still in Country T and would only be able to return after a few hours.

All of this made her extremely frustrated.

“It’s all in the past,” a low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the air.

Su Ji suddenly raised her eyes and was a little stunned.

Pei Huai turned his head to look at her. His eyes were dark, as if he could see through everything.

She stopped and put down her hand. “What did you just say?”

Pei Huai smiled and touched the top of her head to comfort her. “I said she only has a cold and will be fine.”
