Chapter 240: Pessimism

Lu Zhen and Ye Xuan had been chatting for more than ten minutes. Seeing that she had nothing to do, Xiaoxiao tidied up the disposable bowl and chopsticks and took them out to deal with them.

Lu Zhen was about to hang up when Ye Xuan suddenly remembered something and looked at her meaningfully. “Song Jia went to see you a few days ago?

Lu Zhen was silent for a moment before nodding. “He came over today too.”

Ye Xuan widened her eyes in surprise and sighed. “I’ve known him for so long, but I’ve never seen him so diligent.”

Lu Zhen was a little embarrassed and did not know what to say.

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment. “What do you think? Although you’re not suitable for a relationship now, he’s already your rumored boyfriend. The netizens can accept his existence. Even if you’re really with him now, it’s fine. You don’t have to feel any psychological pressure.”

Lu Zhen was stunned. A few seconds later, she hurriedly waved her hand. “Stop joking. It’s impossible between him and me. I’ve already made things clear today. In the future, we’ll still have an ordinary boss-employee relationship. At most) we’ll be ordinary friends.”

“Why not? You don’t even like Song Jia with his conditions?” This time, it was Ye Xuan’s turn to be confused. “I didn’t see that he had feelings for you at first. This guy really hid it well. If Xiaoxiao hadn’t said that he put down a bunch of things in the company to see you, I really wouldn’t have realized that he was wooing you.”

Lu Zhen’s head shook. Woo? Was Song Jia wooing her? She belatedly realized that according to the love process of ordinary people, Song Jia’s actions were indeed courting her.

“What right do I have to look down on him?” Lu Zhen smiled bitterly. “I just don’t want to fall in love. I think it’s better for me to be friends with him. I can’t go any further.”

Ye Xuan was silent. She probably couldn’t understand Lu Zhen’s thoughts and could only summarize, “Is it because you don’t like him? Lu Zhen, you’re good. I thought that other than an outstanding and sober woman like me, almost no one in this world could reject Song Jia’s charm.”

“Sister Ye Xuan, don’t joke with me.”

“Alright, don’t think too much about it. You can’t force yourself to be in a relationship. I’m quite happy that you’re not in a relationship. Your path in the future will be more and more difficult. You’ll only be distracted when you’re in a relationship. I’ll be relieved if you can focus on work. Rest early later. I’ll contact you if there’s anything else.”

Ye Xuan was swift and decisive. After saying that, she hung up.

Lu Zhen looked at the darkened screen and was stunned for a moment.

Didn’t she like Song Jia?

She knew that she couldn’t say firmly that she didn’t like Song Jia. Actually, she knew very well that when she was with Song Jia, she was comfortable. She had also felt a little tempted. She even coveted Song Jia’s gentleness towards her.

Unfortunately, her fear of relationships far exceeded her expectations of relationships. In the end, she, Lu Zhen, was a pessimist. Instead of tacing the pain of failure in the end, it was better not to start from the beginning.

Lu Zhen didn’t know when Song Jia left Dan City. On the third day, Doctor Liang came to see her again. After confirming her physical condition, he left.

She didn’t know if Song Jia had arranged for Doctor Liang to come over.

Their chat box had not been updated since that day. Lu Zhen would occasionally take out her phone and look at the chat page in a daze.

The filming in Dan City was quickly completed, and the group returned to the film base. The remaining scenes were filmed smoothly, and if nothing went wrong, they would be done by the end of next month.

After filming together for so long, Xu Rui, Wu Dai, and Lu Zhen’s relationship was still very cold. Xu Rui and Lu Zhen’s relationship was usually because the two of them had competed for the “back-view goddess” before. Wu Dai and Lu Zhen’s relationship was cold, probably because he was very close to Xu Rui, so he naturally distanced himself from Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen did not mind. It did not matter if she did not have a good relationship with her colleagues, as long as it did not affect her work.

However, everyone was in the same production team, so it was inevitable that they would form various small groups. Lu Zhen did not have a good relationship with the other two main leads, so it was inevitable that she would appear a little alone. Xi De probably could not stand it anymore, so he often took care of Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen advised Xi De not to get too close to her, lest others had something against him.

“Don’t think too much about it. I’m old, and I can’t talk to them. Of course, I’m not saying that you’re more old-fashioned. What I mean is that you’re not as impetuous as the other celebrities in the entertainment industry. Instead, I can talk to you.” Xi De did not mind and smiled indifferently..
