Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 119 I Can’t Push You

Wan Chu’er became alert.

No way!

This can’t go on!

She has to stay further away from Jiang Kechu in the future.

Damn it, the problem is that it’s always Jiang Kechu who seeks her out; where can she hide? She can’t just never go home.

Jiang Kechu, damn you, truly my nemesis!

Wan Chu’er vented about Jiang Kechu and then quickly got out of bed to wash up.

She casually cooked a bag of instant noodles for breakfast, packed her backpack, and left home.

She had previously agreed to meet with Jiang Xiaoxiao and Mai Qiqi today.

Both of them are related to Jiang Kechu, who knows, Jiang Kechu might drive them here today, or even crazier, he might decide to hang out with them for the day.

She couldn’t withstand the combined pressure from Mai Qiqi and Jiang Xiaoxiao; escaping might be the best plan.

When leaving, she attached a small note to the door.

Sure enough, by ten in the morning, Jiang Kechu had driven Mai Qiqi and Jiang Xiaoxiao to find Wan Chu’er.

He didn’t go up, instead waiting downstairs.

Seeing the neighborhood brightly decorated and lively, Jiang Kechu breathed in the crisp air, feeling refreshed.

Soon he saw his sister and Mai Qiqi come down without Wan Chu’er following behind.

Jiang Xiaoxiao approached, puzzled, and said, "Brother, Chu’er isn’t home."

"How can she not be home?"

Mai Qiqi raised the note, its message clear.

The owner is not in, do not disturb – Chu.

It really was just like Wan Chu’er; succinct, not a word wasted.

Jiang Kechu’s eyes chilled slightly, thinking about An Gang last night; did Wan Chu’er go to find An Gang early in the morning?

No, last night on the road, An Gang said he was going to a leader’s home for New Year’s visits today.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, perplexed, said, "Qiqi, where do you think Chu’er went? Didn’t we agree to hang out today, why is she acting alone?"

Mai Qiqi didn’t know either, she sneakily glanced at the icy Jiang Kechu and shook her head.

"Where are you guys going? I’ll drive you," Jiang Kechu said while looking at his sister.

Mai Qiqi looked to Jiang Xiaoxiao, she really wanted to ask Jiang Kechu if he was joining them, but didn’t have the courage, and she feared that Jiang Kechu had initially planned to join but would change his mind if she asked.

Jiang Xiaoxiao understood Mai Qiqi’s look and asked playfully, "Brother, why don’t you join us?"

Jiang Kechu responded lightly, "There are still some things to handle at the base; I need to head there after dropping you off."

It was as expected.

"Brother, it’s the New Year, can’t you take a day off? You weren’t even home for the family reunion dinner last night, your unit really exploits people," Jiang Xiaoxiao grumbled discontentedly.

Mai Qiqi also looked at Jiang Kechu hopefully.

Jiang Kechu firmly shook his head, saying, "Come on, get in."

Although Jiang Xiaoxiao and Mai Qiqi were disappointed, they had no choice but to comply as neither dared to press Jiang Kechu further.

After dropping the two girls off, Jiang Kechu drove back to the base.

Meanwhile, Wan Chu’er, with her backpack, randomly boarded a bus, watching the city bustle round and round, everywhere adorned in bright red, almost too dazzling.

She had planned to spend the day in a bookstore to pass the time, but couldn’t find any that were open.

Well, it figures, they’re celebrating New Year too.

She thought for a bit, then took a bus toward Xiangshan - hiking seemed fitting for the New Year.

Winter at Xiangshan is barren, and few people are in sight, with some snow still piled in parts, breathing the brisk air, Wan Chu’er feels that climbing the mountain was indeed a wise choice.

Away from the noise, quiet and invigorating, and the air was fresh.

By the time she reached the mountaintop, it was already 11 a.m., and she wandered around the old temple on the mountaintop with great interest.

As a result, when she turned around the back of Zhao Temple, she saw someone under a large pine tree.

A young man stood behind a wheelchair, with another person sitting on it.

She then thought of Old Sir Zhong whom she had seen before at Mai Qiqi’s mansion, and sure enough, it indeed was Old Sir Zhong.

The two were lonely under the tree, both silent, staring at the vacant space ahead of them.

They heard Wan Chu’er approaching, and the young man standing turned his head, his eyes flickered, and he whispered something to Old Sir Zhong.

Old Sir Zhong also looked back.

It seemed they recognized each other, Wan Chu’er thought for a moment and walked over generously.

After all, during their previous encounters, Old Sir Zhong had always offered her advice.

Besides, during the New Year, this old man wasn’t spending a cozy New Year at home, but instead was here at Xiangshan, which seemed rather pitiful.

Old Sir Zhong calmly watched as Wan Chu’er approached.

"Old Sir Zhong, happy New Year."

This year it so happened to be the first day of the lunar new year, look, even her greeting phrase came ready-made, Wan Chu’er smiled and gave him her New Year’s greetings.

Old Sir Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Why did you come here alone?"

Hey, I want to ask you the same.

Wan Chu’er smiled and said, "Just here for a casual visit."

Old Sir Zhong naturally saw Wan Chu’er was not being completely honest, he shook his head slightly, and then turned back to look ahead.

Wan Chu’er glanced at the man standing beside, probably nearly 1.9 meters tall, a whole head taller, expressionless.

"I won’t disturb you any further, I’ll be going now." Seeing Old Sir Zhong not paying her any attention, Wan Chu’er wouldn’t shamelessly stay longer. It was just a courtesy visit, so she took her leave.

Before leaving, she exhaled sharply and said, "It’s quite cold here, better to keep moving."

With that, she turned and walked away, only to take three steps before Old Sir Zhong behind her called out again.

"If you’re not busy, push me around a bit."

What?

Wan Chu’er turned back, her face in disbelief looking at the old man in the wheelchair.

The tall man immediately said worriedly, "Old Sir Zhong..." but his words were cut off by Old Sir Zhong.

Now, Wan Chu’er confirmed what she had just heard, she looked at the rugged mountain path, then her own hands, such cold weather!

She squeezed out a smile, "I’m afraid I can’t push you, I don’t have much strength."

This old man’s background was unclear, and judging from Mai Qiqi and the tall man’s reactions, his status was probably very high.

The path here was uneven, if she failed to push him securely and he fell, the tall man might deal with her on the spot.

Considering she had only met the old man twice before, counting this time three times, she was not foolish enough to engage in such a thankless task, naturally, she would refuse.

Upon hearing her words, the tall man glared at her angrily, Wan Chu’er directly glared back.

The corner of Old Sir Zhong’s mouth in the wheelchair lifted, seemingly amused by Wan Chu’er, he chuckled and scolded, "Little sly one!"

Wan Chu’er raised her eyebrows, didn’t say anything, didn’t acknowledge!

Seeing Old Sir Zhong acting this way, the tall man beside was puzzled and reevaluated Wan Chu’er.

Old Sir Zhong gestured for the tall man behind him to come over, he reached out to assist the tall man slowly standing up from the wheelchair.

"Then just accompany me for a walk."

Wan Chu’er widened her eyes, exclaimed, "You can walk, sir?!" Seeing Old Sir Zhong ignoring her, she kindly added, "Life depends on movement."

Yet such a truthful statement once again attracted the tall man’s angry glare.
