Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Withdraw
But she should have not found him yet... why now...
Though he was puzzled, Jackie couldn’t bluntly ask. After all, the relationship between him and Crystal wasn’t very close. He just politely nodded, "Teacher Qi."
"Just call me Crystal." Crystal revealed a faint smile, her demeanor was elegant with a touch of distant aloofness, "I just saw you spacing out here, what were you thinking about?"
Jackie shook his head, "I was just feeling a little tired recently, nothing else."
Jackie had been in the limelight for many years, but he showed no sign of fading. Despite the constant emergence of newcomers, his position was still very difficult to shake.
In the hearts of fans and passers-by, he was always the seventh prince who wore black robes in the play, dragging his weak body protecting the ones he loved, and the masses behind him.
Such an initial impression had already established his strong popularity among the public.
Crystal was a smart woman. After so many years in the entertainment industry, she had seen too much and had become jaded. Now that there was a soft spot in her heart, she was a bit softer than before, "You need to rest no matter how busy you are. You’re doing much better than I did at your age. Have you ever thought about taking a break? Your health is the most important thing."
As she said this, Crystal thought of her own son.
She had neglected him because she was too focused on her work. Now that she had found him again, her son was still unwilling to get close to her.
She had already made up her mind to take a break after this film to spend time with her son.
"I..." Jackie wanted to say something, then shook his head, looking at the busy set not far away, "I can’t take a break yet."
Because he had someone he wanted to protect.
Because he didn’t want to repeat the mistakes of his past self.
Crystal understood and didn’t say anything more. The director was calling for her, so she got up to go.
But Jackie suddenly spoke up, asking a question, "Teacher Qi, do you think I can still reclaim what I’ve lost?"
Crystal stopped in her tracks, turned around, and after a moment of silence, faintly said, "Perhaps you can reclaim things, but people... not necessarily."
With that, she left.
Leaving Jackie alone, standing there with a subtly sorrowful and regretful look in his eyes.
He only sighed softly in the end.

[ "Shining Star Road 2" premieres, Tiffany Lynch wins the first A, but her opponent Hannah Winter becomes the biggest winner, and the truth behind it makes you think... ]
[ First A premiere was criticized, she might hold a script of bribery storyline, the real "royalty" is actually her! ]
[ Is the "Fairy of the World" Hannah Winter a product of capital speculation? Her background is... ]
The production team intentionally used Hannah for publicity, these announcements had just been released, but then came a message from above.
A few staff members looked at each other, obviously not understanding the implication of this message.
The producer was furious, and he threw the script on the table, "Are you idiots, withdraw the announcement immediately!"
One of the staff members timidly raised his hand, "But it’s already been released."
The producer turned around and glared at him, "Didn’t you understand me when I said to withdraw it? Get going, what are you waiting for? Any later and we’ll all lose our jobs!"
This was clearly a warning from the big boss behind the scenes not to play too hard. After all, being the first one to push the keyword "dark secret" on the hot search on the first day of the first broadcast of a talent show can easily ignite the rage of the netizens.
