Chapter 329 - 329: Hug
After her rebirth, Lu Zhen had always faced everything bravely. She had never allowed herself to be as weak and timid as in her previous life. But now, she felt that she had failed. She seemed to have become the same person in her previous life overnight.
Lu Zhen raised her hand and kept wiping her tears, wanting to wipe them away. However, crying was like opening a valve. She could not control her tears at all. The more she wiped, the more tears there were.
Lu Zhen was in a sorry state. She wanted to turn around so that Song Jia wouldn’t see her. At this moment, she was suddenly pulled back and her body fell into a firm and warm embrace. Song Jia gently held the back of Lu Zhen’s head with his palm and said in a low and gentle voice, “I won’t be able to see it like this. Cry. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
Lu Zhen widened her tear-filled eyes. How did Song Jia know what she was thinking? Her rationality, which had not been corroded by alcohol, told her that she should push Song Jia away now. It was not good for the two of them to hug like this, but Lu Zhen could not raise her hand no matter what. She was like a drowning person now, and Song Jia was a piece of driftwood sent to her. Holding this piece of driftwood, the pain in her heart seemed to have lessened a little.
Song Jia hugged Lu Zhen quietly. He did not do anything else. The two of them seemed to be leaning against each other, and neither of them spoke. The noise at the door broke the silence. Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and hummed a happy tune.
Xiaoxiao turned around and was caught off guard by the two people hugging each other on the sofa. In an instant, her pupils constricted and she let out a short cry. Then, she immediately covered her mouth and said in a panic, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see anything. I’ll disappear now!”
Xiaoxiao hurriedly ran into the room, and it was quiet outside again.
Lu Zhen did not expect Xiaoxiao to return at this time. Her face turned red. Song Jia slowly let go of Lu Zhen and said softly, “Are you feeling better?”
“Much better…” Lu Zhen bit her lip, not daring to look up at Song Jia.
Song Jia nodded slightly. He picked up the honey water on the coffee table and tested the temperature before handing it to Lu Zhen. ‘Drink some.”
Lu Zhen took the honey water and drank it in small sips. The sweet taste of the honey water spread on her taste buds. She felt a healing power.
After venting her emotions in front of Song Jia, Lu Zhen felt much more relaxed. If Song Jia hadn’t come tonight, she wouldn’t know what she would be like now. It turned out that she wasn’t strong enough to face everything alone.
Thinking of the dependence she felt in Song Jia’s arms, Lu Zhen lowered her head, her earlobes red.
Song Jia looked at Lu Zhen and hesitated for a moment before asking, “What happened? Is it convenient for you to tell me?”
Lu Zhen hugged the cup with both hands and slowly looked up. Should she tell Song Jia? It wasn’t that she couldn’t tell Song Jia about this, but she didn’t know how to describe it. After a pause, Lu Zhen put down her cup. After mentally preparing herself for a while, she took a deep breath and said, “You know Jiang Fei, right?”
Song Jia nodded. He had already watched two episodes of “Celebrity Performance Class”, so how could he not know Jiang Fei? He had even seen a movie starring Jiang Fei in the past.
Lu Zhen looked into Song Jia’s eyes and sighed. She said slowly, “He’s my father.’
With that, Lu Zhen carefully observed Song Jia’s reaction. At first, Song Jia didn’t seem to be able to completely digest this information. After a few seconds, his expression returned to normal. He nodded and asked, “Are you feeling so uncomfortable today because of your father?”
Lu Zhen looked at Song Jia in confusion. Why wasn’t Song Jia surprised to hear her words? As if guessing Lu Zhen’s thoughts, Song Jia smiled faintly. “Everyone has their own secrets. I’m indeed very surprised that Jiang Fei is your father, but I care more about why you’re sad.”
Lu Zhen looked at Song Jia in a daze, the temperature on her cheeks rising. She hurriedly lowered her head and took another sip of water to hide her panic. After calming down, she sighed. “I didn’t tell anyone about this. My father doesn’t know either. I wanted to look for him at the right time, but…”
Lu Zhen gritted her teeth and told Song Jia what she had seen outside Lu Rou’s dressing room today. She couldn’t say anything about her rebirth, so she could only express her doubts indirectly. “I think somethings wrong. Before today, Lu Rou and Jiang Fei should still be strangers..”
