Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 189 - 189 189 Confrontation

?Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Confrontation Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Confrontation Luo Ning and others proceeded to the National Treasure Hospital.

In the large courtyard, numerous medicinal plants were cultivated, some of which were quite old.

Luo Ning had recently wanted to make pills and had been searching for aged medicinal materials, and although Liu Hongxue was helping her, it still wasn’t enough.

Dean Xu had someone guide everyone through the Chinese Hospital and the collection of ancient medical books in the archive room.

They also watched the veteran doctors in the Chinese Hospital treat patients.

This level of the National Treasure Hospital seldom had people come for assessments, tours, and exchanges; most came to seek treatment from renowned practitioners.

The experts would distribute a number of slots each month for patients with more serious conditions.

The live broadcast cameras continuously followed the group on the tour.

After greeting the director, Luo Ning exchanged a look with Lu Xun and the two slipped away.

What could the director do but cover for them?

The live broadcast purposefully avoided giving the two any screen time, despite the comment stream clamoring to see “Daddy Luo” and God Lu.

Watching them leave, Ji Xinghang felt an unpleasant taste in his heart.

Looking up, he saw Shi Ji sitting not far away under the corridor, his gaze fixedly following Luo Ning.

Ji Xinghang walked over to him after giving the director a heads-up not to film him.

The director was at his wit’s end—other people pleaded for airtime, yet these three didn’t want it even when it was offered. Indeed, Luo Ning had corrupted them…

Sitting next to Shi Ji, Ji Xinghang said coldly, “You showing up here today was for Ningning, wasn’t it?”

Shi Ji glanced at him indifferently, “I remember that you and Luo Ning are no longer involved, so aren’t you being a bit too nosy?”

Ji Xinghang looked at him coolly, “Even if we’re not together, it’s not your turn to step in.”

This guy gave him an indescribable sense of danger, even worse than that schemer Lu Xingji.

He spat in his mind, no, neither of them were good news.

“You’d better keep your distance from Ningning in the future, otherwise, I won’t hesitate to intervene,” he warned.

He didn’t want to see anything that could potentially harm Luo Ning.

Shi Ji, maintaining his coolness, replied, “You can try if you like.”

“Hmph, we’ll see about that,” Ji Xinghang huffed.

Shi Ji’s eyes, looking at Ji Xinghang, carried a hint of coolness. This guy hadn’t known how to cherish what he had, and now it was too late to act desperately—it served him right!

He turned his head to look at the courtyard, becoming engrossed in thought as if something had struck him.

Seeing this, Ji Xinghang felt indifferent. He would keep an eye on this guy, and so he got up and left.

Elsewhere, Luo Ning called for Lu Xun to find Dean Xu.

Lu Xun asked her, “Are you looking to join the National Treasure Hospital?”

Clearly, he knew Luo Ning well.

Luo Ning nodded, “Yeah, I want to join and at the same time, ask Dean Xu if he’s willing to sell or trade some aged medicinal materials.”

Lu Xun asked, “Are you going to make pill?”

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Lu, you really understand me.”

Whatever she did, it seemed this guy could predict it. Besides being very understanding, she couldn’t find another reason.

But how could he understand her so well?

Many of the things she was showing now she had learned and accumulated only by traveling through various Little Worlds. Even if Lu Xun had researched her past, he could not have known these things.

Lu Xun nodded with a smile, “Yes, I understand you very well.”

Luo Ning was smart, and suddenly she had an extraordinary suspicion.

She suddenly turned to look at Lu Xun and probed, “The Chinese medicine you know wasn’t learned in this world, was it?”

Lu Xun was momentarily stunned, then laughed, “You really are as clever and sharp as ever.”

Luo Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You’ve been there too?”

Lu Xun knew she wasn’t remembering but guessing, and he didn’t deny it, “Yes.”

She pointed to herself, “And you knew me there?”

“Right, we always had intersections,” Lu Xun nodded.

Luo Ning frowned, “Then who are you? Why don’t I remember?”

In each Little World she had transmigrated into, her name had also been Luo Ning.

Lu Xun said truthfully, “It’s Lu Xun.”

He sighed again, “After your memories related to emotions came back, they must have been locked or stripped away, which is why you also don’t remember me.”

He too began to slowly regain some memory after that car accident.

But at that time, he completely forgot the emotions tied to carrying out tasks in the Little Worlds.

It was only after another accident occurred that he remembered everything.

No wonder ever since Luo Ning saved him, he couldn’t help but pay attention to her, the bonds through so many worlds couldn’t just be wiped away by amnesia.

Hearing him say this, Luo Ning also felt that it was very likely the case.

After all, she had indeed felt that she was forgetting something very important.

Lu Xun looked at Luo Ning with a smile in his eyes, expecting her to ask about what their relationship had been in the past.

Luo Ning really wanted to ask initially, but as she looked up, she saw the affection in Lu Xun’s eyes and a habitual indulgence, which made her heart skip a beat.

Combining Lu Xun’s attitude towards her recently, and what he said about being moved by her the other night,
And considering that her locked or stripped memories were related to emotions, it could only mean one thing: her relationship with Lu Xun during the tasks in the various Little Worlds was definitely not ordinary.

It might even be possible that they were lovers.

Right now, her mind was a bit chaotic, and she did not want to immediately disrupt their current relationship.

So she changed the question she had originally intended to ask, “Then why did you take on the tasks?”

“Of course, if it’s inconvenient for you, then don’t say it.” If this was Lu Xun’s privacy, she naturally wouldn’t pry further.

Lu Xun chuckled, “To ‘exchange for Fate,’ according to my memory.”

“That accident, by all accounts, should have killed me instantly. But suddenly a system appeared and bound me.”

“If I completed tasks in various Little Worlds and accumulated enough merits, I could use them to exchange for my own life.”

“When all the tasks were finished, I came back,” he didn’t conceal anything.

Although his memory still had gaps, he thought it was very important, but there was nothing he could do about not remembering now.

Thoughtfully, Luo Ning asked, “I see, so the point in time you returned to, after completing the task, was right at the moment of the accident?”

Lu Xun nodded, “Exactly.”

“Isn’t it the same for you?” he asked.

Luo Ning was silent for a moment, then also told the truth, “Mmm, no, I came back a bit earlier.”

Instinctively, she felt that Lu Xun wouldn’t harm her, that he was trustworthy.

However, there was more that she wasn’t ready to reveal just yet, like this world not having evolved into a real world yet, and that it was a book and so on.

Lu Xun was a bit surprised but soon eased into understanding.

In that case, some of the things he couldn’t understand could also be explained.

“Although our times are different, whatever we say, it’s also our Fate.”

Lu Xun smiled as he continued to speak, “In this world, there probably are only the two of us like this.”

He was certain of this.

Suddenly, Luo Ning smiled, “Indeed quite fateful. Are you trying to tell me that you’re trustworthy?”

Lu Xun laughed out loud, “Yes, no matter when, you can trust me.”

“I feel the same. I will always trust you.” He emphasized firmly.

Luo Ning exchanged a meaningful look with him, but said nothing.

However, this conversation brought them closer in both atmosphere and relationship.

After a moment, Luo Ning spoke up, “I believe I will find that lost memory.”

When that time came, she would seriously consider and reflect on her relationship with Lu Xun.

Being the smart man he was, Lu Xun understood immediately, “I also believe you’ll remember.”

He added, “I’ll wait for you, no matter how long!”

Not only waiting for her to remember, but also waiting for her as a person.

Luo Ning gave him a smile, “Then thank you, Mr. Lu.”
