The conversation that followed went well.
Qi Jin and Ning Xiaoxiao are the ones leading the topic, and they both tacitly agreed not to let the previous topic continue, but turned to some unrelated things, such as work, such as small return period, and recovery after fracture.
Shen Yan would occasionally take a word or two lightly. Ning Xiaoxiao probably felt guilty about him, so she hurriedly agreed at this time, and then led him down to talk about the situation. The two of them could chat for a while without Qi Jin interfering. Qi Jin just listened, and with a slight smile, took out the hot ingredients in the hot pot for Shen Yan, first blew it in her own bowl, and then brought it to him.
Regarding Ning Xiaoxiao, Qi Jin was hiding one thing from her, that is, the fact that Shen Yan was equal to "Yan Bei Xiang".
He only told her that Shen Yan knew that he played dubbing, but he did not reveal that Shen Yan was also a CV. As for the secret of wearing a vest to participate in the trials, he had to keep it firmly. He knew that his junior sister would definitely be one of the audience members, and he didn't want to leak any rumors before the game officially started.
Regarding Shen Yan, Qi Jin also had something to hide.
That was what Ning Xiaoxiao whispered in his ear after the three of them had dinner together: "Senior brother, there's actually something I'm very, very concerned about. The two of you... Is that?"
that.
Of course Qi Jin knew which one it was. Fortunately, her voice was kept low so that Shen Yan didn't hear it.
Ning Xiaoxiao's voice finally fell, and Qi Jin's hand had already pinched a piece of flesh on her face, causing her to scream in pain. After finally letting go, he didn't forget to take out the invoice he had just checked out, shook it in front of her, narrowed his eyes threateningly and said, "What are you talking about, little girl? If you talk nonsense, I won't treat you. You can either keep your mouth shut, or transfer the money according to the figures on this bill, and let's clear it up."
Of course, Ning Xiaoxiao chose to shut up and made a zipper movement on her lips to show her sincerity.
Qi Jin took back the invoice with satisfaction.
Ning Xiaoxiao's mouth was honest, but her eyes couldn't help but quietly glanced up and down at Senior Brother. Qi Qin still has a gypsum tube hanging from her left hand. It is estimated that "that" is very difficult... But if you really want it, it is not completely impossible. Her eyes turned to Shen Yan who was following them far behind, because that was the key.
Shen Yan has been very stable in the later period.
He didn't pick anything Qi Jin had picked up, he ate it all. Sometimes he would tell Qi Jin what not to eat and what is not suitable for recuperation. When he went downstairs to check out, he would gently support him and accompany him down the stairs step by step, for fear that he would fall in the air.
Witnessing this situation with her own eyes, she finally understood a little why her brother wrote the words "careful and considerate" at that time.
"Unfortunately, Dr. Shen is obviously not a beast, otherwise..." She mumbled accidentally.
Qi Jin's face tensed, and the invoice that had been put back in his trouser pocket was pulled out again with a "swoosh". Seeing this, Ning Xiaoxiao screamed, begging for mercy and running towards the bus stop like a frightened bunny.
It's okay, it's okay, this account can be calculated slowly when the little girl asks him to record.
Qi Jin made up his mind, raised his eyebrows slantingly and smiled.
"Why did she leave first?" Shen Yan approached from behind and asked in surprise.
As he was about to say goodbye, he estimated that the senior brothers and sisters still had a few private words to say, so he asked them to go out first, keeping a distance in the middle, and deliberately not chasing, so that Ning Xiaoxiao would not be there because of his presence. feel constrained.
Unexpectedly, when she saw Qi Jin raise her hand from a distance, she ran away without a trace.
"It's nothing." Qi Jin coughed lightly and stopped the topic in time, not wanting to tell Shen Yan the reason.
The autumn wind is bleak at the entrance of the alley, and the leaves rustle and cool everywhere where it passes, reminding people that October has entered the late autumn season. Seeing that he kept his head down and coughed, Shen Yan thought he was freezing, so he took off his jacket without saying a word and covered him tightly.
The two stood face to face, and Qi Jin couldn't help looking up at his face.
Shen Yan concentrated on pulling the clothes for him, and his eyes were not on him, so he could take the opportunity to take a good look at each other. In fact, he has seen this face many times, but he is not tired of it, and every time he misses the throbbing that he used to watch quietly while that person was taking a nap.
After all, there aren't many chances to see him from that close range.
Usually I can't find a suitable excuse to get close, only at this time, I can take advantage of the situation and watch it for a while.
"Your complexion is much better than before you left your seat." Qi Jin murmured, reached out his hand unconsciously, and touched his cheek.
"Sorry for worrying you." Shen Yan whispered. Qi Jin's four fingers were attached to his side face, and his thumb was placed very close to the corner of his lips, and he could feel it slightly upturned there - a slight but real smile.
"It's my fault. It might be a little reluctant to ask you to meet relatives and friends like Xiaoxiao now." Maybe he should be more patient, think about him from Shen Yan's position, and proceed step by step.
"It doesn't matter, I can see that she is sincere for your own good." Shen Yan understood the intention of Ning Xiaoxiao's question.
"But..." Qi Jin was about to say something, but Shen Yan smiled and shook her head gently, stopping him.
"Look," he suddenly turned sideways, his eyes followed the alley to the depths, raised his finger and pointed to the place where the tortuous alleyway disappeared into the night, and asked Qi Jin to follow, "This street , was the only way for me to get home from school many years ago."
That was when he just moved in. The old man found a nearby school for him to study in. After his evening self-study, he walked home and always passed by here.
"That was more than ten years ago."
The gray light on the street corner shone into Shen Yan's eyes, and it flickered for a moment, like a trace of time reversal.
He lowered his voice and told Qi Jin about the story behind the traces: "At that time, there were not many buildings here, and now the relatively new buildings have not been built, and there are even few street lights. It is very difficult to walk past at night. It's dark. Sometimes the street lights fail, and the row is completely dark, except for the lights in the houses of some residents around, and there is nothing else. I used to... Because of fear, I couldn't walk past and go home."
Frightened, helpless, hesitant.
Don't dare to move forward, don't dare to break into the dark by yourself.
So a person squatted under the corner and planned to wait silently until the east turned white, but the old man found him.
The old man had an old-fashioned flashlight in his hand. The power was not strong, and he could only light up a small area in the darkness, but the color of the light was very warm. He looked up along the light source, and what he saw was the relieved and extremely relieved smile of the old man after he found someone.
"After that, Grandpa came to pick me up every day and walked me there. Knowing that someone is with me, I don't feel terrible here." Shen Yan smiled slightly, the taste of memory infiltrated in her voice, bitter and sweet, "Afterwards, I was completely used to the darkness here, so I could go by myself."
Having said this, his eyebrows slowly lowered, and he sighed bitterly.
"Since my grandfather passed away, I have rarely walked here alone. Although there are street lights and more houses around it, it is more lively than before, and I will no longer feel afraid. However, I still can't walk by myself."
"Why?" Qi Jin asked very lightly, unable to bear to interfere with the replays in the other party's memory.
He chose to be the voiceover, letting the protagonist in the flashback speak for himself.
Shen Yan smiled at this time: "Because I will think of my grandfather, the past, and... I was at a loss when I was alone."
As he spoke, he took a step towards the depths of the alley, and then stopped.
"Maybe it was a bit early for me to face the darkness by myself, but because Grandpa was there, it didn't matter."
The topic went around in a circle and returned to the starting point.
Qi Jin seemed to understand suddenly, and looked at Shen Yan motionlessly. And that person also looked back at him for a long time: "So, don't worry about you forcing me. Whether it's a game or meeting your friends... I know I'm not alone, it's fine."
Shen Yan's current voice is Qi Jin's favorite state.
It is like a quiet sea, deep but not gloomy, and every word sounded like the tide rising and falling on the beach. No matter how hard the gravel is, it will eventually be gently smoothed out.
He stretched out his hand towards Qi Jin and asked in a low voice, "Qi Jin, can you accompany me on this road once?"
Qi Jin smiled slightly and handed it over naturally: "As many times as you want."
Across the cool autumn wind, Shen Yan's hand was dry and warm, and when he held it, he could clearly feel the strength of his knuckles being bent. The heart stays in it. It turns out that the two of you will not be afraid to walk together - because the heart has been placed on each other, and other people and other things can't shake it.
The big return period came home in a happy mood, but the small return period was unhappy.
Although it was not too far to walk back from the place where we ate, it took a little time. Especially when he and Shen Yan walked side by side, they hardly encountered any particularly bright places on the way, so the two of them didn't even want to look at their watches to check the time, they chatted while walking, and walked slowly all the way back to their residence.
Although the little kitten had been fed with a round belly before departure, the kitten couldn't stand the loneliness. No one played with it for a few hours. It barked desperately in the nest, rolled, and turned over and over, just thinking about it. Get attention.
When the return period reappeared, it had already started scratching the walls of the box angrily.
Qi Jin reluctantly watched the little guy raise his paws in protest.
It's unbelievable that a person whose ID is "Don't ask the date of return" would have a day to keep a cat, and he was sued by the cat after only leaving for four or five hours. I have to say... If according to his previous work schedule, he would either starve to death or suffocate to death in that apartment during his return period.
"It's my fault, hit me." Qi Jin took the little guy out of the box, let it snuggle into his arms, and patted his chest with two meat pads to vent his hatred.
"Miaomiao." Before the small return period, he still looked full of resentment, but when he really got to the master's arms, he stopped making trouble, and just rushed over and acted like a spoiled child. Qi Jin was amused by it, lightly rubbed the fluff on its neck with her hand, smiled and saw the little guy's eyes narrowed into two slits, his tail was completely relaxed, and lay softly on him.
In fact, he likes the small return period so much because the small return period will come in handy in the future, which is very, very important to him.
So now it is comfortable to serve the little guy, and it must be beneficial and not harmful.
"Qi Jin, do you want to take a shower now?" Shen Yan looked at the time, ten o'clock was past, not too early.
"You can go first, the little guy is bored during the return period, I'll accompany him to relieve his boredom." Qi Jin broke away from the little guy's fleshy claws for a while, and raised his head to answer.
"Okay." Today is Sunday, and tomorrow will return to the normal work schedule. Qi Jin can control the time more freely, but Shen Yan can't, so he didn't give in much, "I'll finish washing later, You can watch the time by yourself, and call me when you want to help. I will record in the study when I get there, it doesn't matter if I interrupt, just knock on the door. "
Hearing this, Qi Jin suddenly raised his head.
Although I watched him sign up and witnessed the whole process of his role selection, but when I heard him say that he was going to start recording, the strong sense of reality was still exhilarating.
"You're talking about the audition in the preliminaries of the competition, right?" Stubbornly confirmed it again, the feeling of joy is never afraid of repeating the experience.
"Yes." Seeing his bright eyes, Shen Yan was a little amused, and the corners of her lips could not help but bend upwards.
"Come on! I'll wait for your good news." Qi Jin said hurriedly. After speaking, he always felt that it was not enough, so he raised a paw of the little return date and let it lift the meat pad to cheer for Shen Yan. In fact, he also planned to record the audition tonight, but he was more concerned about whether Shen Yan could be selected successfully than himself.
"You too." Shen Yan smiled. For him, it is really good news that the two can be selected together.
The days of waiting for good news are full and busy.
After the audition upload date expires, there will be three days of official review time, and you can wait until then.
Shen Yan had to work in the hospital on weekdays, and Qi Jin was also busy with TV station work, so he didn't bother him. He took the time to write a planning proposal to the director of the news channel. Run an interview in the city and make a related topic about pet hospitals and clinics.
The director responded the same day.
"I've seen your detailed proposal, and it's a good idea." That's a good opening statement.
The director is a typical news person. He always likes to speak directly. Good is good, bad is bad, because the most important thing in news channels is time. Now that he said "the proposal is good", Qi Jin basically already knew it and knew that it would definitely pass the review this time.
It's just that he didn't expect that the director not only let him pass, but also proposed to make him bigger and more stylish.
"Xiao Qi, I'm thinking... Instead of turning what you said into a five- to ten-minute piece of news and hurriedly stuffing it into the news broadcast, it's better to talk to the people in the 'social survey' column, Let's see if we can make it into one of the programs, and make it a big one." The director's voice was loud on the phone, and he seemed to have a lot of interest in this proposal, "You know 'social survey', right? The one on Saturday night, a one-hour issue, excluding the guest comment time, there are about forty minutes that can be used for official content."
Of course Qi Jin knew that column.
It is one of the TV news programs with relatively high ratings. It is broadcast every week in prime time on Saturdays, just after dinner and before the popular TV dramas start airing, and the content is closely related to social phenomena, so it is well received.
"Director, can you go and ask for me?" If he can get this opportunity, it will undoubtedly be a great affirmation of his career as a journalist.
Qi Jin couldn't help but look down as he spoke, and even suspected that the little returnee climbed up and scratched his chest again.
Heart itching, the whole person is eager to try.
The channel director didn't answer immediately, but instead asked him a question: "Xiao Qi, let me ask you, have you always wanted to be a host?"
Qi Jin was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the director would suddenly mention this.
When I first joined the news channel a long time ago, I did tell him my future goals, and I hope that one day I can appear as a host, not just a reporter. In terms of hardware conditions, he has already obtained the first-class certificate of the Mandarin grading test, but he lacks qualifications and promotion opportunities.
"The 'Social Survey' is being revised recently. The original host remains unchanged, but a second commentator may be added. It can join discussions between the host and guests, or visit the scene of the event. At that time, it was almost like a reporter." The director laughed twice, "I know you have good qualifications, and you have a good relationship with several departments over there. If you want this position, maybe you can work hard."
If it is really possible to transfer jobs, the possibility of frequent business trips to other places will be greatly reduced, and most of the time will stay in the local area.
Maybe, really can have a cat.
Maybe, really can no longer be a "playing dead god".
Maybe... Really, stay by Shen Yan's side without needing to run around
"Director," Qi Jin suddenly woke up, sweat dripping from the palm of his hand holding the phone tightly, and said earnestly, "please let me try—"
