Xu Qingxin felt a bit dejected!
She suddenly realized.
Even if her illness were cured by Chen Nan!
She would be "cured" by him into a depressed state!
She considered herself a very accomplished and beautiful woman!
In terms of knowledge, ability, and demeanor, how many among the younger generation could compare?
Even though she and Chen Nan were in a doctor-patient relationship, she was exceptionally engrossed and dedicated during his treatment.
She thought this would please him!
But who would have expected the current outcome?
This severely bruised her pride!
Especially since Chen Nan was Yan Wushuang's boyfriend.
As Yan Wushuang's arch-rival, she felt even more indignant!
Why was he genuinely in love with Yan Wushuang, yet so indifferent towards her?
Was she truly inferior to that woman Yan Wushuang?
Night fell.
Feng County's food street also became lively.
There were various street snacks by the roadside, as well as some restaurants.
After buying some snacks, Xu Qingxin led Chen Nan straight to a barbecue restaurant and found a seat near the corner.
She had been in a hiatus for the past year, not taking on any acting roles or endorsements.
However!
She had been extremely popular in the previous two years. The dramas she had acted in were still airing!
And her advertisements were frequently shown on television.
Therefore, even though she had done nothing this year, she still maintained considerable popularity.
Sitting in the corner was to avoid being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble.
"I thought you wouldn't like barbecue, as it takes a lot of time and is far less efficient than Chinese cuisine!" After ordering, Xu Qingxin removed her mask.
Chen Nan said, "Before my master passed away, he gave me four words of advice. At first, I didn't understand their meaning, but now I think I grasp their significance!"
Xu Qingxin asked curiously, "Which four words?"
Chen Nan replied, "Eat on time!"
Xu Qingxin looked confused, "These four words are very ordinary. Could they have some other meaning?"
"See, this is the gap between us. Even if I tell you these four words, you wouldn't understand their meaning!" Chen Nan lit a cigarette.
Xu Qingxin's face turned green!
You're not considering my feelings at all!
After the waiter brought the ordered barbecue, Chen Nan began the grilling process.
Although this step was tedious and time-consuming.
One thing was certain.
His inner peace was gradually being restored!
His agitated mood was slowly cooling down!
His mindset was gradually recovering!
"Eat on time... Master, you were truly thoughtful, using these four words to guide me on how to maintain myself in life!"
"They say the greatest truths are the simplest. How could you, an ordinary person, possess such profound insight?"
Previously, Chen Nan had no idea what "eat on time" meant.
Now, he understood!
Wushan wanted him to recognize himself as human!
Because humans eat grains.
Immortals do not partake in worldly sustenance.
Although he had embarked on the path of cultivation, he still needed to retain his original intentions!
Only by doing so could he remain composed and calm when facing matters!
After dinner, the two settled the bill and left.
By now, the food street was teeming with people.
"Can I have a cold drink?" Xu Qingxin saw a beverage shop in the distance, not hiding her inner longing.
Due to her recurring illness, she hadn't had a cold drink for a full year.
Chen Nan said, "Yes!"
"Wait a moment, I'll go buy a cold drink and be right back!" Xu Qingxin said, heading directly to a roadside beverage shop. She bought two ice cream cones and was as happy as a child.
"Here, this one's for you!" She handed another ice cream cone to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan took it, and they walked towards the hotel, eating their ice cream.
Just as they reached the hotel entrance, a flashy red Ferrari stopped in front of them.
Then, a rich second-generation young man stepped out, ecstatic. "Damn, you're the superstar Xu Qingxin? My God, I never expected to see you here."
"Hello, Miss Xu, my name is Duan Cong, and I'm a devoted fan!"
"I've watched all your dramas and bought all the products you've endorsed!"
"Um, are you here to film something?"
"Could you give me an autograph?"
"Can we take a picture together?"
Xu Qingxin was accustomed to being recognized. Normally, she wouldn't mind giving autographs or taking pictures.
But now, she was in no mood to deal with outsiders!
"I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Xu Qingxin, just someone who looks very much like her!" Xu Qingxin politely declined Duan Cong's request and walked towards the hotel with Chen Nan.
Duan Cong was taken aback, a look of regret on his face!
Indeed!
Xu Qingxin was the hottest actress in the country. Even though she hadn't filmed anything this year, her popularity ranked in the top three in the entertainment industry!
How could a celebrity of her caliber possibly come to a small county like Feng County?
Without a doubt, this must be a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Xu Qingxin!
Thinking this.
His eyes suddenly gleamed with a fervent gaze!
I'll never be able to get close to Xu Qingxin in this lifetime, but finding someone who looks like her wouldn't be so bad, right?
By extension, wouldn't that be equivalent to me having been with Xu Qingxin?
Especially since this woman looked almost identical to Xu Qingxin, I could completely treat her as Xu Qingxin!
Without further thought, Duan Cong immediately chased after them, blocking their path. "Miss, please wait a moment, please wait. I have a small request. I wonder if you could fulfill it?"
Xu Qingxin frowned, "What do you want?"
Duan Cong took out a bank card and said, "There's one million in this card. As long as you agree to spend one night with me, this million is yours!"
"Please show some respect!"
Xu Qingxin was furious. Although the entertainment industry was dirty, and people lusted after her body.
This was the first time someone had openly put a price on sleeping with her!
Duan Cong remained unperturbed. "What? You think it's too little? I feel one million isn't a small amount. After all, it's money many people can't earn in a lifetime!"
"And you, you earn money lying down, and it's very comfortable."
"This should be a fair deal, right?"
"You should be fortunate you look like Xu Qingxin. Otherwise, why would I spend a million to sleep with you?"
He then looked at Chen Nan, a hint of awkwardness flashing in his eyes. "Should I not be discussing this in front of your boyfriend?"
"But let's think about it, if I say I'll have you for a night in front of him, and he remains indifferent, it clearly shows he doesn't care about you!"
"No, no, no. It's not that he doesn't care about you, but he has no temper at all. He's not a man at all."
"I just want to know, facing a boyfriend with no backbone like this, what are you even doing with him?"
"Actually, what he can give you, I can also give you. I'm definitely more enduring than him, and I can surely make you reach heaven!" He gave Xu Qingxin a knowing look.
Chen Nan slapped him across the face and asked politely, "Can you see my temper now?"
