After Ji Ning sent that message, he watched Song Yu's messages come at him like a barrage of bullets—
I was happily getting ready for bed late at night, was it because I wanted to see you send this to me
What kind of kissing scene? When will it be filmed? How will it be done
Did Ji Shiyan agree? Is it a variety show, a TV series, or an advertisement
Ji Ning: Which one do you want me to answer first
Forget it, Song Yu said, don’t answer, I don’t want to make things difficult for myself.
Ji Ning just came out of the bathtub and saw Song Yu questioning him again: Damn it, why.
She then remembered something and sat cross-legged on the bed and asked the screenwriter: Did Ji Shiyan agree
Don't worry, he is also a professional and he knows how to shoot variety shows well.
Yes, Ji Ning sighed as he looked at the moonlight outside the window. He was smart, he had high emotional intelligence, and he knew how to make variety shows look good.
So even though he is taciturn, he is still the one that attracts the most attention: in variety shows that solve crimes, he knows how to control the rhythm and throw out clues; in solo parts, he knows how to handle the push-pull relationship with his opponents; in variety shows that focus on indoor interviews, he will occasionally create some novel gags.
Therefore, in the dating variety shows... it is not surprising that his professional habits have enabled him to attract so many CP fans and make so many people think that they are really in love.
She felt vaguely proud, but it seemed as if there was an emptiness hidden somewhere, like a bubble that would shatter at the slightest touch.
I had no choice but not to think about it or touch it. Maybe in this way, the ending of the story would come later.

He worked diligently on the set for a few days and finished the remaining half of the CE commercial. Three days later at eight o'clock in the evening, CE's new product launch would be held, and Ji Ning would also attend as the new spokesperson.
But you don't have to go up for a long time, an hour is enough.
Since it was a press conference, there had to be enough hype, and Weibo and various platforms had been preheating for nearly a week. CE's father arranged a high-end dress for Ji Ning, which was an exclusive design that combined a T dress and a CE necklace, and was customized just for her.
The dress is nipped in the waist, with irregular petal-like skirt spreading out from below the waist, with diamonds and necklaces perfectly inlaid in it. As it sways with the steps, it seems to embrace the stars in the sky, shining brightly and unparalleled.
The first second Nuonuo saw the skirt, she covered her mouth, her eyes fixed, and after a while she sighed, "How exaggerated."
Ji Ning leaned on the clothes rack: "I think so too."
"But it's also the kind of extravagance that all girls dream of. The sponsor is so good at it. It's the first time I've felt such high-level pampering."
Nuonuo lifted up the skirt and compared it in front of her: "This dad is a good dad. Try it on, I think it will look good on you."
After changing into her dress, she sat down and waited for her makeup to be done. This time her makeup and hair were also very delicate and it took nearly three hours to complete.
Nuo Nuo was playing games while waiting for her. When she saw that her makeup was done, she looked up and then continued to push the tower with her head down: "I think this look can be on the hot search again, and it can compete with Ji Ning's cheongsam picture."
Today, the stylist tied her hair into a small braid at the back of her head, with a mixed-color hair tie in the braid. Paired with this formal dress, she really looked like a graceful lady dressed for an official appearance.
The press conference was getting on track. Ji Ning was waiting for her turn to perform backstage when she suddenly felt something on her head. She raised her hand and touched it.
It turned out that a few hair ties were broken and were now vaguely entangled in the braids. It was neither messy nor neat, and there was no pattern at all. It looked strange no matter how you looked at it.
She adjusted her hair in front of the mirror and found that it didn't look good no matter how she tucked it in. She turned around and asked, "Where's the hairstylist? The hair tie is broken."
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask," Nuonuo said, "We're going to go on stage soon, we need to get the teacher over."
Nuonuo came out of the backstage, grabbed a staff member and asked earnestly: "Where is the stylist? Have you seen her?"
"I'm leaving. There are activities later. I just left."
"Gone?!" Nuo Nuo's pupils shrank. "Why are you leaving just like that? Do you have a phone number? Give it to me."
After getting the call and communicating, Nuonuo hurried to find Ji Ning: "The stylist has something else to do, so she left first. She asked us to open the drawer to see if there are any extra hair ties."
Ji Ning opened the drawer and looked: "It's gone."
"… "
"Well, then just pull it out and don't want it at all," Nuonuo hooked the half of her hair hanging outside, "It's all braided in, and it's falling out again. It doesn't look good."
Ji Ning had the same idea and pulled out the hair ties one by one, but after looking at them again and again, he felt that something was missing.
Just as she was looking through the dressing table, wondering if she could find something to fix her problem, she heard a voice urging her from behind.
"There's one minute left before you go on stage, get ready!"
"One minute, what are you looking for?" Nuonuo poked the back of her hand. "Although this is a little imperfect, the flaws do not outweigh the merits..."
Before Nuonuo finished speaking, Ji Ning picked up a few bracelets placed on the side and tied them in along the direction of the hair rope. The bracelets were the main new models this year, so there were a lot of them on the dressing table.
The star and moon pendants on the chain echo the skirt, and there is a hint of the rose element from her hit drama. When hanging down, it shows a bit of delicate and lively beauty.
She walked onto the stage to the music, and Nuonuo watched from a different angle. When Ji Ning finished speaking and put down the microphone, she saw Nuonuo lip-syncing to herself and pointing at the bracelet she had put on temporarily: "It looks good."
Not long after she stepped down, Nuonuo discovered that her "fairy braid" was trending on the Internet, and she excitedly showed it to her. Ji Ning took off her earrings and guessed, "It should be that CE bought it herself."
It was only after a few days that I realized something was wrong. Some magazines’ cover photos started to feature braided hair and bracelets, and even some female artists started to do the same when they were performing in events.
Before the new product was launched, ce posted a Weibo post, which also used the gimmick of Ji Ning's bracelet and braided hair at the time. Ten thousand bracelets were sold out soon after they were put on the market. The same necklace was also sold out within three hours, and the number of people replenishing the stock reached a record high, which became a hot search again.
There were fans and passers-by in the hot search square. Fans who got the tickets were showing off and participating in the lottery, and they were also promoting Ji Ning’s new drama - After All, Rose. The ratings have been rising all the way, and it even broke 2 a few days ago, which is the highest rating this year.
Sister Lemon: Has everyone grabbed the ce two-in-one? Anyway, I grabbed three [grin]. To celebrate the fact that the ratings of "Rose and the Wind of That Time" starring Ji Ning exceeded 2, I will draw two from this repost. The requirement is: don't slander Ji Ning.
I got two, just to show off, one is a bracelet and the other is a braid. I can't bear to take them out to draw, so I'll just give them to you guys.
I didn't get it! But I'll give you a chance to buy it if one of my fans transfers 888 to you!
Those who didn't get the chance are reposting the lottery, and some are jealous:
I'm so stupid. Last time I saw the trending search, I thought the small ears and hair accessories were eye-catching. I wanted to buy the same style, but when I searched, it wasn't on sale yet. I saw that the black accounts were saying it was ugly, so I was careless and thought that few people would buy it. So I didn't set the alarm! I overslept! When I woke up, it was gone! I hate myself. (Jing Tao roars)
Black account: The products endorsed by Ji Ning are really ugly, no one buys the products endorsed by Ji Ning, fans have no money and passers-by also think they are ugly. Outside world: Fairies are really pretty, the products endorsed by fairies are even prettier, fans buy buy buy, passers-by buy buy buy.
Oh, your sister Ning is getting more and more popular as she becomes more and more popular.
The fans are really leaving no room for survival. Why are they grabbing so many? Even passers-by can’t buy them! I have to wait for the follow-up restock. I am crying like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
As long as Sister Lemon has money, that’s all; as long as Ji Ning is awesome, that’s all.
Even some media people said that inviting Ji Ning to be the spokesperson was the most correct decision CE had made since it clearly defined its positioning.
Half of the buyers are her fans, and the other half are passers-by who simply thought she was pretty after seeing her photos. But no matter what, the order volume is there, and Ji Ning's ability to bring goods is recognized by everyone - the purpose of hiring a spokesperson is essentially to increase product sales.
The new style quickly became a best-seller on the official website. More and more people posted the same braided hairstyle as Ji Ning on the app, and Ji Ning's mailbox was flooded with more and more endorsement collaborations, ranging from perfume to skin care to shampoo and conditioner.
This is the first time she has received so many collaboration invitations since her debut, and many of them are from brands she had never dared to think of before.
That night, Nuonuo looked at her work email and sighed, "I suddenly remembered a sentence."
"What?"
Nuonuo stretched out a hand and shook it toward the window: "The road is tortuous, but the future is bright."
Her shining moment was finally seen by more and more people.
///
The next day, Ji Ning took an overnight flight to Nara to shoot "First Kiss Diary".
Today's schedule is to see deer in Nara. She had heard about the deer here a long time ago. Some said they were well-behaved and docile, while others said they were extremely ferocious. She had to experience it herself to know.
When she was styling her hair, she accidentally discovered that the makeup artist and stylist were both wearing CE bracelets, and asked in surprise: "Did you buy them yourselves?"
"Yeah, I asked my friend to get it for me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get it at all, hahahaha."
Ji Ning said: "If I had known you guys liked it, I would have asked for some."
"You may not be able to get it even if you ask for it. They say the headquarters doesn't have many left. It's very popular," the stylist showed her. "The star-moon one is too popular. I had to settle for the rose one. Does it look good?"
The makeup artist quickly said, "Can a spokesperson say that her own products are not good-looking? Don't drag down our Roses, okay? I grabbed the Roses, why should I put down others and say that Xingyue is better? Our Roses are also very popular, and they are the same models in the popular dramas."
"Can some rose fans stop being so sensitive? Star and Moon are the truth. I only said that I like Star and Moon more. I didn't say roses are ugly. Why make it worse?"
"What are you doing? The fan circle is fighting," Nuo Nuo also joined in. "We are all human beings, don't cue randomly. I like everything Ji Ning endorses. Rose and Xingyue should stop fighting. Your internal fight is a joke to outsiders."
There was laughter in the dressing room.
After putting on makeup, the shooting started quickly.
Ji Ning felt that something was wrong with Ji Shiyan today, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
Maybe you have too many schedules recently and you feel a little overwhelmed? That's why you occasionally let your mind wander
Ji Shiyan's distraction is different from that of ordinary people because it is an artist's habit, so even if he is distracted, it is not very obvious. He only lowers his head to play with something for more than two minutes, which means he is distracted.
This is also a little secret that only fans know.
Ji Ning took the biscuits she had used to feed the deer, and unconsciously thought of the kissing scene that the screenwriter had mentioned before... However, the screenwriter did not mention it again, and did not tell her to prepare before shooting today.
It could also be blown.
Just when she was distracted for a moment, the deer suddenly rushed forward, bit off her biscuit, and then grabbed the strap of her bag in its mouth.
Ji Ning was forced to retreat again and again under the attack, trying to pull his belt out of the deer's mouth, but to no avail.
This little deer was pretending to be so harmless just now, but it turned out to be quite powerful after it changed its face.
She and the deer started a tug-of-war. The deer wanted the biscuits in her bag, but she wanted to give them to other more well-behaved deer - there are thousands of deer in the park, and if you ruin your character, I will replace you.
After talking for a long time, she was suddenly grabbed by the waist and carried up the stairs. Ji Shiyan put his other hand around her back and took her bag off.
"Why are you fighting with them?" What if you get hurt
Ji Ning whispered: "I just want more people to see its true face."
The man looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled again, "It's not a human, don't bother with it."
Ji Shiyan took out some biscuits from the bag, gave the bag to the fierce deer, and led Ji Ning inside: "I heard that the ones inside will be more well behaved."
"Have you done your homework?" She looked up.
He paused for a few seconds before saying, "About the same."
There were indeed some friendly deer in the park. Ji Ning could even take selfies with them while biting on biscuits. Just when she was having a great time, Ji Shiyan once again got into a thorny problem.
Just now, an hour before the shooting, the screenwriter said that they would shoot a kissing scene today, and for the sake of effect, they would not inform Ji Ning.
There is no script, no scene, no setting, and he has to improvise everything freely
How does he play freely
Looking at Ji Ning and the deer's faces getting closer and closer, he felt that the task of playing freely seemed to be more difficult than turning himself into the deer.
After photographing the deer and having lunch, the two of them rested in a back garden.
The sun was shining brightly, and Ji Ning was swinging on a rattan chair, with juice and desserts beside him. Everything looked very comfortable.
Ji Shiyan said he would help her push the swing, and she hugged the vines, then said, "You look a little strange today."
"… "
"What's strange about that?"
If you ask her specifically, she couldn't answer.
Ji Ning shook his head.
I don't know how much time had passed, but just as Ji Ning was lost in his own little world of thought, he slowly turned her chair around.
The two men faced each other.
The man put his hands on her sides and called her, "Ji Ning."
She was stunned: "Huh?"
The air was filled with the scent of moist leaves and the sweet taste of drinks.
He leaned over and pressed down on her without her expecting it.
At that moment, Ji Ning's senses were all shut down, except for the vague amber and ebony lingering in his memory.
There seemed to be a sound of leaves stretching out.
She felt his breath against her cheek, and forgot to close her eyes. She consciously calculated the distance in her mind, and then watched his cheek getting closer and closer with almost blank eyes.
Just before they were about to fit together, the rustling of leaves was almost in his ears. Ji Ning suddenly distinguished the difference between hallucination and reality: "... Wait a minute!"
"… Um?"
Ji Shiyan seemed to sense something as well. They both looked up and saw three crisp clicks as the vines on both sides of the swing died gloriously and broke apart.
The swing chair lost its support and fell to the ground, even rolling happily twice.
The accident happened too quickly, and all the beauty disappeared in an instant. Ji Ning, who was sitting on the chair, was able to avoid falling by holding onto Ji Shiyan's shoulders.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The man narrowed his eyes and turned back unhappily: "Who chose this chair?"
…
The show was launched amid the anticipated comments from CP fans. However, after the show was aired, the comments prepared by the Mouse Girls, such as "Double Click Couple is Sweet" and "Double Click is Real", were not used at all. Instead, the five cold and ruthless words that topped the hot search list were:
Ji Shiyan's failure
The author has something to say: Swing: Don’t get close to my Ningning
Just hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Who wouldn't say that Ji Shiyan is miserable after watching this
There are also red envelopes today!
555 I just realized that I forgot to apply for the list. There is no list this time. Darlings, please comment more enthusiastically, or else my week is really ruined orz
