Chapter 463: Chapter 463 Helping to Retrieve Memory_1

Bo Jingyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed rapidly, rousing a surge within him.

"Alright..." Finally, he conceded, "After my memory returns, we can be together again."

Xia Qingtian hadn’t expected him to be so amenable after his memory loss.

If it were before the amnesia, she would have had to make quite the effort to persuade him.

"Okay." Xia Qingtian nodded, "I’ll leave first then."

Saying so, she attempted to leave by skirting around Bo Jingyan.

Though Bo Jingyan stayed rooted to the spot, he grasped her arm as she passed by.

"Are you having second thoughts?" Unable to break away, Xia Qingtian was forced to stop, turning her head to ask him.

"No," Bo Jingyan explained, "I just feel that if you just leave me be, expecting my memory to return on its own, it might be impossible."

Xia Qingtian, discerning his underlying meaning, continued his line of thought, "So, what do you want to do?"

"Help me." Bo Jingyan gazed into her eyes, sincerely pleading, "Help me retrieve the lost three years. Can you do that?"

Xia Qingtian could clearly perceive his genuine attitude, her heart suddenly missed several beats.

Faced with such sincerity from Bo Jingyan, she found herself unable to refuse.

Moreover, deep within her heart, she also wished to bring back the Bo Jingyan she once knew. She still loved him, and if it weren’t absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to give up on their relationship.

Previously, she had attempted to help Bo Jingyan regain his memory, but he was too resistant, leaving her no choice but to let the matter go.

Now, Bo Jingyan had actually invited her to help him recover his memory.

Of course, Xia Qingtian would not refuse.

"Okay." A smile slowly dawned on her face as she agreed.

A hint of softness graced Bo Jingyan’s normally impassive face.

Both parties were satisfied with this outcome.

Bo Jingyan didn’t want Xia Qingtian to leave just like that. He was about to suggest diving into recovering the lost memories today when he was interrupted by a ringing phone.

Xia Qingtian discovered it was her phone ringing.

She quickly fetched her phone and saw that it was Cheng Bingbing calling.

"It’s a call from one of my artists, I need to take it..." Xia Qingtian was prepared to answer the call when a memory suddenly struck her.

Just last night, Bo Jingyan confessed feeling jealous of Huo Qilin.

Even though she thought of her contact with Huo Qilin as purely professional, she couldn’t let Bo Jingyan succumb to his jealousy and give up on a career she had fought for, along with her trusted artists.

Yet, inexplicably she found herself justifying, "This call is from Cheng Bingbing."

Bo Jingyan’s previously gloomy expression finally brightened.

Seeing that, Xia Qingtian felt that the extra explanation wasn’t a loss after all.

Unconsciously, her lips curved into a smile.

In a cheerful mood, she took her phone onto the balcony and answered Cheng Bingbing’s call.

"Bing..." She was about to ask Cheng Bingbing what was up, but her words were cut short by the sobbing over the line.

Despite Cheng Bingbing’s repressed voice, the pain was evident, "Qingtian..."

At her tone, Xia Qingtian’s heart was abruptly gripped by a painful sense of foreboding.

"Bingbing, what’s wrong?" She immediately asked in concern.

"I, I..." Cheng Bingbing’s voice choked with sobs, she couldn’t get her words out.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian felt her heart twinge with pain.

She cut off Cheng Bingbing, gently asking, "Alright, don’t say anything else. Where are you now? I’ll come to you straight away. Don’t cry, I am here with you no matter what the problem is."

But her attempt to soothe accomplished nothing; Cheng Bingbing continued to sob inconsolably.

"Home..." She managed to stutter out a word.

"Alright, wait for me at home!" After saying this, Xia Qingtian hung up.

She quickly turned around and strode towards the doorway.

Seeing her troubled expression, Bo Jingyan immediately asked, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

Xia Qingtian also wanted to know what had happened.

"I don’t know..." She looked grave and shook her head, "I have to get there and find out what has happened."

Although she didn’t know what had happened, she had a premonition that it wasn’t a trivial matter. Otherwise, why would Cheng Bingbing behave like this?

Cheng Bingbing and she had worked together for so long, growing through their shared struggles.

Now that Cheng Bingbing had won the award for Best Supporting Actress and secured the lead role in Director Zhao’s film, she was already a favorite for Best Actress. Meanwhile, Xia Qingtian had become a competent agent in her own right.

Therefore, they both understood each other very well.

Cheng Bingbing might appear meek, but she was truly resilient. Even when her face had been scarred, threatening to ruin her burgeoning acting career, she hadn’t wept so bitterly.

"Where? I’ll drive you." Bo Jingyan said, after listening, he ceased inquiring. Grabbing his car keys, he offered.

Given it was peak hour, Xia Qingtian was also worried about hailing a cab. At this moment, she wished she could be by Cheng Bingbing’s side instantly to find out what had happened.

Consequently, she accepted his offer without hesitation.

"Okay, thank you." She gratefully accepted.

Bo Jingyan understood her urgency and stopped making small talk. Together, they went down to the parking lot. After asking for Cheng Bingbing’s address, he drove Qingtian there as swiftly as he could.

Once they arrived, Xia Qingtian didn’t have time to say goodbye to Bo Jingyan. She alighted from the car and hastily walked towards Bingbing’s dorm.

She arrived at Cheng Bingbing’s dormitory door and knocked.

"Who is it?" Cheng Bingbing’s voice trembled with fear and apprehension.

Xia Qingtian’s heart ached at the sound.

"It’s me, Xia Qingtian!" She quickly identified herself, reassuring the person inside, "I’m here now, don’t be afraid. No matter what happened, I’ll be there with you."

The moment her voice trailed off, she heard footsteps inside the room.

Straightaway, the room door opened.

Xia Qingtian finally caught sight of Cheng Bingbing.

The instant she saw Cheng Bingbing, Xia Qingtian’s heart clenched once again.

What had once been a face as radiant as a peony now looked pale and lifeless, like a withered and desolate flower, devoid of any vitality, like an intangible walking corpse.

Her usually captivating eyes now bore an empty look.

This was not the Cheng Bingbing from last night’s awards; radiant and indomitable, like a glamorous demoness.
