Chapter 118 – Crocodile Jump (2)
The child immediately shifted sides. He completely forgot how he was hugging Su Jinqing just then. Now, he quickly ran to Lin’s side. Without a care for the fresh and dripping blood on him, the boy hugged his leg and revealed a foolish smile.
Lin really didn’t like taking pictures. His expressionless expression was the only emotion he revealed in front of the camera.
Thankfully, the child liked his cool temperament and bugged Lin to take a few more pictures with him.
Su Jinqing’s felt warm at his gesture, she tossed him a grateful look.
……
When the family left, the two walked towards the staff lounge together.
One barely spoke while the other was shy. They didn’t interact much on their way.
Even so, Su Jinqing thanked him for what he did before.
Lin said, “You’re welcome.”
After the two simple words were spoken, silence filled the air again.
Halfway through the walk, Lin was taken away by Ana Ivanović. He was smoking a cigarette as he called out to Lin to patrol the other side.
As such, Su Jinqing was by herself again. However, she welcomed this silence.
Lin’s words, from before they got on the boat, had moved her. Back then, she left without a second thought and cut off all her routes of return. She wanted to part from “Su Jin” forever.
Since the first day she entered the entertainment circle, she had to shoulder a lot of mental pressure. She never thought that she would be under the limelight one day and that countless people would nitpick on her, placing her under the magnifying glass. Yet, when she thought of her terribly sick mother, she clenched her teeth and persisted.
A pity that her mother didn’t hold on in the end.
On one hand, she had to endure the heartbreaking pain of losing a parent and on the other, she had to endure losing her privacy as a public figure. At that time, she felt as though she was tightly sandwiched between two walls and there was little space for her to breathe.
She lost count of the number of sleepless nights she had had to spend, eventually taking refuge with medicines to help fall asleep. She wanted to call out but couldn’t. She wanted to cry but couldn’t. It felt as though all her organs had stopped working and there was only the heart pumping in pain.
She had mentioned to her managing company about quitting several times and mentioned compensating them for their losses too. However, no one understood.
Therefore, she left. And without a word.
She came to Kakadu, the desolate utopia.
However, three months later, she started to feel guilty. Although the entertainment circle was complicated, the love of her fans for her was genuine. How impactful was her disappearance to them?
She knew that many fans would call themselves “fangirls/fanboys”. However, what’s wrong with liking someone?
Thinking of the cute faces and the people who truthfully supported her, Su Jinqing sunk into deep guilt.
Like what Lin said, she must go and “see” them for this heavy but genuine love.
……
After she returned home to rest, Su Jinqing asked Edwin, the internet-addict, for his computer.
Edwin almost fell off from his chair.
“Su… you… why did you suddenly want to use a computer?” Edwin widened his gray eyes and revealed a curious expression.
Su Jinqing didn’t explain but only smiled at him.
Edwin felt dizzy upon seeing her smile. He couldn’t distinguish today’s date. He hurriedly gave her his laptop and considerately opened the search engine for her and said, “The Internet here is very bad. It works at times and stops working at times. If it doesn’t work, call me!”
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
After Su Jinqing thanked him and sat in front of the laptop.
She gazed at the familiar white and empty page, taking a deep sigh. She trembled as she typed the two keywords.
【Su Jin】【Retires】
When she was about to press enter, she hesitated. She didn’t know whether she could endure the information that she was about to receive.
At this point, she realized that she was just an ordinary weak person as well.
Edwin looked behind her and secretly glanced at the screen. He originally wanted to see what she was searching up, but who knew she typed four Chinese characters.
The only Chinese he knew was “hello”, “goodbye”, and “I love you”.
He could only look down and shift his gaze away, glancing at his goddess’ side face.
He watched as she was in a daze, glancing at the search bar after she entered the characters. Her finger hovered over the enter button for a long time.
Then, she took a deep breath and firmly pressed it.
In the next second, overwhelming information was thrust in her face. Su Jinqing stared at the laptop, stunned.
Nothing, nothing, nothing!
As the most popular newbie celebrity in the domestic entertainment circle, news of Su Jin retiring from the entertainment circle should’ve been all over the Internet. Yet, there was not a single piece of news that could be related to the phrase.
No matter how forgetful the entertainment circle was, there was no way it left no traces, right?
Not only wasn’t there any news about Su Jin retiring from the entertainment circle, up until yesterday, news of Su Jin about to attend 《Wilderness Winner 》was spread all over the Internet.
Was this normal?
Of course not!
Su Jinqing felt her limbs going cold. She sat in front of her laptop as though she had sunk into a bottomless black hole.
She even started to doubt whether her three years of experience in the entertainment circle was just her dream. A dream that she created in order to comfort herself.
But quickly, she calmed down and threw these unrealistic thoughts out of her mind.
She immediately clicked on a piece of news and carefully read it.
This piece of news was the entertainment circle’s normal writing style.
“Last night, Su Jin appeared at the Beijing Airport in low-profile. She wore a windbreaker paired along with jeans and Martin boots, making her appear beautiful.
The editor noticed that ever since Su Jin got a haircut, her personality changed. She, who was originally a refreshed and sweet sister, became a gorgeous big sister. Even when she wore simple and neutral outfits, she was worthy of being the annual artist that received the V Fashion’s award. She was really the walking fashion icon!
Although Su Jin kept her schedule secret, the editor had found out that she was heading to the south to film 《Wilderness Winner 》. This reality show was pushed out by Apple TV station. Many celebrities were going to make an appearance and millions were invested in it. Experts were even invited to lead the celebrities to survive in the wilderness.
Because the Internet was extremely bad, Su Jinqing refreshed it multiple times and waited a dozen minutes or so. Finally, with a speed of a few kilobytes, the pictures finally appeared.

In the picture, the female celebrity, Su Jin, was wearing a pretty hunting hat and had pressed the cover down. However, this couldn’t block her pair of clear and sparkling eyes. She was arrogantly beautiful, she pursed her red lips, bright lips like the radiance of sunshine.
By her side, countless fans surrounded her and waved their phones. She gazed ahead and passed through the crowd. Her windbreaker was ridden up by the wind, making her appear carefree but also sexy.
“Su… is she a female celebrity in your country? She looks similar to you!” Edwin asked confusedly.
Su Jinqing glanced at the screen, looking at the exact same face but different temperament. The moment she opened her mouth, tears rolled down her eyes.
“No… I look like her.”
