Chapter 626: Chapter 626
The early spring morning air was still slightly cool, but fortunately, the male Confucian clothes Jinxia wore were not thin. Since the next few scenes required continuous movement and filming, she constantly generated heat from her body, so she didn’t feel cold at all. She just felt that her throat was itchier than when she got up in the morning.
After filming the last scene before the noon break, He Jinxia frowned slightly and reached to pinch her throat.
At this point, a person who looked like an assistant came over and handed her a box of throat lozenges that Qiu Zhenze usually used.
In "Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows," the female lead Princess Yu Yin had the most scenes, and the main storyline fundamentally progressed alongside her growth.
Princess Yu Yin, naive and kind-hearted, had just successfully completed her transformation and was taken to Heaven, where she learned a lot. Through repeated confrontations with demons, she gradually discovered her own origins.
In the end, her spirit and flesh merged, transforming her into the true master of the power of thunder and lightning, the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor—Princess Yu Yin.
In a fantasy drama about cultivation, romance naturally was an essential element. However, it’s worth mentioning that the script included a deeply affectionate and wealthy second male lead and an adorably sweet third male, but hardly any agonizing love scenes.
From beginning to end, Princess Yu Yin and Emperor Bai Ze loved only each other. There were attempts to drive a wedge between them, but misunderstandings were scarce. The deeply affectionate second male lead did not oppose the male lead out of jealousy, which set the script’s romantic plotline apart from the mainstream.
Although the romantic storyline wasn’t too torturous, the process of searching for her identity was somewhat agonizing.
Because the screenplay’s main storyline advanced with Princess Yu Yin’s growth, she had more scenes than anyone else, and filming would take a longer time.
Just now, Qiu Zhenze had finished his parts and left half an hour ago, while she had to film an extra half-hour, covering a few more minor scenes.
Receiving the throat lozenge from Qiu Zhenze’s assistant, He Jinxia said "thank you" to her.
Qiu Zhenze’s assistant was a relatively young woman who was so shy while handing the lozenges over that she kept her head bowed, not daring to look at her.
But the little assistant was kind-hearted; before leaving, she softly informed her of some precautions, suggesting she brew some pear soup when she got home to alleviate her symptoms.
He Jinxia thanked her again.
When Cheng Xiaohua brought the meal, He Jinxia was sitting under a large tree, leaning against it to stay cool—a habit she had developed, regardless of the weather in spring, summer, and autumn.
The one season missing was winter, because it was too cold to sit under a tree outside during breaks—that would just be seeking discomfort.
"Since you have a cold and need to be careful with your diet, I made you some light vegetarian dishes. Just bear with it for a few days. Once you’re better, you can have a big feast," Cheng Xiaohua said reassuringly as she looked at He Jinxia, who seemed a bit dazed after opening the lunchbox.
He Jinxia forced a smile, "Ever since I successfully lost weight, I haven’t eaten such healthy food. The only thing better than the diet meals is that there seems to be more variety in the vegetarian dishes."
The lunchbox was filled entirely with vegetarian dishes, and He Jinxia suspected the chef must have used steaming for all the vegetables, as there wasn’t a trace of oil.
Cheng Xiaohua covered her mouth to stifle a giggle, then turned around to start eating from her own lunchbox.
The air carried the fragrant scent of fried meat, mixed with the spicy tang of pepper, the sweet and sour notes of capsicum, and a hint of potato.
He Jinxia couldn’t help but look over, feeling even more heartbroken—those were all dishes she loved!
For the first time in her life, she felt a strong desire to recover quickly so she could enjoy delicious food.
The throat lozenge was very effective. After taking it along with lunch and her medication, He Jinxia popped another in her mouth and waited as the candy slowly dissolved, its refreshing taste soothing her inflamed throat.
During the noon break, the crew members sat idly around the filming location, chatting with each other; undoubtedly, the hot topic was Wen Ningning’s departure from the group.
He Jinxia sat not far away, reading their lips and roughly understood what these people thought about Wen Ningning’s departure from the group.
After a morning, the incident had fully fermented; everyone was discussing whether Wen Ningning was mainly responsible or JY was.
"Wen Ningning herself has improper conduct. JY could help her temporarily, but not forever!"
"I just think it’s too cruel to keep the other members in the same team but not Wen Ningning."
"No, I don’t think so—should we have someone come forward to protect Wen Ningning and then wait to be humiliated by paparazzi revealing photos later? Wen Ningning herself isn’t clean; how can we protect her?"
"Okay, even if they couldn’t uphold her earlier for not being clean, why ask her to leave the group later?
JY’s girl group has been established for so long, and the members all live together; Wen Ningning likes going out at night—can’t she hide it from the other JY members? Now that there’s trouble, they are just pushing her out. Didn’t they counsel her before?"
"The others might not necessarily know. Have you forgotten her previous roommate was Meng Wan? Meng Wan left the group last year. If Meng Wan didn’t mention Wen Ningning to JY when she left, JY might not have known anything."
"This... might not necessarily be the case either. I know her roommate was Meng Wan, but do you know how long Meng Wan lived with her? Just because it was Meng Wan before doesn’t mean it was Meng Wan for all six years in JY."
"This..." Some people murmured softly, "Jinxia used to be with JY too—she should know who Wen Ningning’s previous roommate was. Why don’t you ask her?"
Upon hearing this, others shook their heads. How could they dare?
JY is JY, He Jinxia is He Jinxia; the two are separate.
Now, He Jinxia was one of the most popular second-tier actresses, while JY had become a bottom-tier second-tier girl group. Who dared ask He Jinxia about JY, risking offending her?
They all knew that when He Jinxia left JY, it was under unusual circumstances, very likely just like Wen Ningning is now, being driven out by JY!
Having read this far, He Jinxia stopped reading them and instead bowed her head to scroll through Weibo to see if there was a response from JY’s side.
Unexpectedly, she really did find JY’s latest response, which was posted just two minutes ago!
After JY’s response, even Zhang Yingru responded.
He Jinxia chuckled softly, a smile crossing her lips, her eyes cold.
The crew’s gossip continued, and a new crew member, not very concerned about girl groups, seeing them suddenly silent, couldn’t help asking softly, "I only know that Senior Jinxia used to be in JY. Could it be that she didn’t get along well with the members?"
Someone else gave the new member a hint, "You should know, Senior Jinxia used to be very heavy, right?"
The new staff member nodded, admiringly exclaiming, "I used to be at least ten pounds heavier than now, but it was the inspiration from Senior Jinxia’s weight loss that decided me to firmly lose weight."
"That settles it; just think what the body figures of girl group stars are like compared to what Senior Jinxia’s figure was."
With that said, the new crew member immediately understood. Chapters fırst released on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Looking at it this way, it really is very likely that He Jinxia was driven out by JY!
He Jinxia before, and now Wen Ningning, JY’s girl group really is a ruthless team...
The new crew member thought this inwardly when suddenly a slightly hoarse voice came from beside her, "Indeed, it was JY’s decision to have me leave."
