The lock snapped shut on the bridge with a crisp click.
Ji Ning pulled out the key from the bottom and threw it into a box with only a small hole on one side.
The lanterns at night spread out like a sea. I don’t know where the key fell and I can’t hear the sound clearly.
After finishing a day's shooting, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hotel.
As usual, Song Yu was already waiting for her in the room.
To be honest, Song Yu also worked very hard. Ji Ning had to change hotels all over the place for her schedule, and Song Yu could carry her suitcase and accompany her around most of the country.
In Song Yu's words, she always provides pick-up and drop-off service, so it's a waste not to stay. Song Yu's school classes are so relaxed that she can find a substitute teacher to hand in homework on time, and she doesn't have to go back to her own place and listen to the noise every day.
Ji Ning bought a bottle of yogurt endorsed by Ji Shiyan and took it back. His messy thoughts were smoothed out by the wind and he felt light again.
It seemed that none of the previous hand holdings were as formal as this one. Ji Ning sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his fingers over and over again.
Song Yu listened to her talk about today's appointment schedule and expressed her opinion while cutting her nails.
"You've made a killing," Song Yu blew on his fingertips and said in a very casual tone, "You're holding his hand that once held his vitals."
“…”?
It took Ji Ning a few seconds to come back to his senses. For a moment he was choked up and didn't know what to say.
She shook the sheets and couldn't help but feel the back of her neck getting hot. "What kind of nonsense do you think about every day?"
"What a mess. Is a lustful person a human being?! And I didn't say this. I saw it on Weibo," Song Yu said with a sigh, "Just based on this, I have to go to Brother Ruan Ming's handshake meeting."
Ji Ning was somewhat moved when he heard the familiar name: "It's surprising that there are artists whose freshness period with you lasts for more than a month."
"It's been almost two months, okay? It's really worth celebrating, even though he's not my only love," Song Yu was already getting excited, and handed the phone to Ji Ning, "Take a look."
Ji Ning looked down and saw that what Song Yu handed over was exactly Ruan Ming's business Weibo. A certain pen brand sent a handwritten love poem by Ruan Ming as a benefit for fans.
"Can you tell? This is the two-month anniversary love letter Ruan Ming wrote to me."
Ji Ning said sincerely: "I can't tell."
"… "
Ji Ning scrolled through his account and found that a brand that Ji Shiyan had collaborated with had also released a new ring with love as the element.
She replied to Song Yu: "Can you tell? This is the engagement ring that Ji Shiyan designed for me."
As a fan girl, you must have the most basic fighting spirit and you cannot lose when it comes to your idol.
Song Yu shook her head so hard that her earrings almost fell off: "I can't tell."
She thought for a moment and said, "Let me see the love letter again."
After reading Ruan Ming's handwritten love poem again, Ji Ning said, "It's obvious that this is the love poem Ruan Ming wrote for you, because the first word at the beginning is 赠, which means to send, and 赠 is homophonic with your last name. So he is confessing his love to you, happy two months."
Song Yu was so happy that his head dropped. He shook his head and sighed, "You are so damn right!"
Then he pointed at the ring on Ji Ning's phone and quickly changed the subject: "When is the wedding date for you and Ji Shiyan?"
So true.
"It hasn't been decided yet. I'll let you know when it's decided."
The two of them fell on the bed and started laughing. Ji Ning felt much better. He saw someone reposted a sweet video from a Korean drama on the homepage. He clicked on it and saw that it was the male lead helping the female lead tie her hair. He then mentioned Ji Shiyan.
After circling the number, he did not forget to go back to the homepage to check, fearing that he had made a wrong choice again.
I don't know what happened last time, I was still using a small account when I was browsing idol-related posts, and after switching back and forth, the responses inexplicably changed to the big account. Luckily, nothing went wrong.
After reposting the Weibo, Ji Ning went to take a shower, not knowing that the content he posted would be seen by the male protagonist three minutes later.
When he read it for the first time, he didn't quite understand what Ji Ning wanted to express.
Do you want him to take on this type of drama
It wasn’t until he clicked on the comments and saw her friend took a photo of a hair tie and then took a photo of herself that he realized what was going on.
She wanted him to tie her hair
But he doesn't seem to have this skill. The only thing he is good at in life is tying shoelaces.
Forget it, the man thought to himself, they are all about tying things up, so the principles of tying hair and tying shoelaces should be similar.
I’ll give it a try next time.

After filming the variety show, Ji Ning’s daily routine is filled with filming.
"First Kiss" has entered the countdown, and the number of fans of the super topic is increasing day by day. It is now very common for her to see users with double-Ji avatars in the comment section when she casually browses Weibo that is not related to the entertainment industry.
CP fans are not just perfunctory in their star-chasing. They also have their own anti-black station, and they will fight against black fans for both artists at the same time. Fans check in every day. They also performed well when the two officially announced new endorsements and showed their purchasing power. They did not favor any artist, and the data was not idle.
But it would be a little easier when forwarding messages to Ji Shiyan, because Ji Shiyan’s Weibo is mainly used to promote his work. The atmosphere on Weibo is not good, so he would choose other software to post pictures and texts occasionally.
Since the program is about to end, CP fans also organized a more ceremonial charity event as a commemoration before the program is broadcast.
They went to the mountainous area in the name of Shuangji, popularized some "embarrassing" contents in books to many children, and taught them how to protect themselves.
That charity event went viral on a small scale, and many passers-by were very fond of it. Some even said, "The fans are so gentle and considerate, I'm sure the two idols are also very kind people."
Ji Ning's super topic began to stabilize in the top seven of the rankings, and the fighting power of his fans could actually compete with many popular male idols.
She didn't know how things would develop in the future, but everything was becoming clearer.
It was at this time that I received a second invitation from "Burning Time".
This kind of national variety show either invites people with a strong sense of variety or popular idols. Being able to invite her for the second time in one season is also a recognition of her.
She had participated in the event with Ji Shiyan before, and she didn’t know whether it was the arrangement of the First Kiss program crew or whether Ji Shiyan’s status was big enough, but this time she knew that the program crew came for her.
When Nuo Nuo told her about this, she followed up by asking, "Did Ji Shiyan go alone?"
"The production team said they invited him, but he didn't get it. He doesn't seem to like being on a solo show. It's hard to invite him to a solo show. Haven't you noticed?"
Nuo Nuo said: "But even if we invite him, he won't be in the same episode with you, wouldn't that be a repetition? You're on your own this time. I think the production team likes your topic and variety sense, and it also means you're smart, doesn't it?"
This program occasionally has some very brain-burning segments. Without a certain IQ, it is impossible to wrap your head around them. Moreover, when it gets crazy, it even makes fun of the guests. In the industry, artists love and hate it.
"I don't have a role that day, right?"
"No show, take a rest. We specially adjusted the recording time for you. Are you touched?" Nuonuo even looked proud. "The national variety show changed the time for you. This is a treatment only the hottest stars can get. How proud."
Ji Ning remembered something and said, "By the way, after this play is over, please find me a dance teacher."
"What for?"
"There are a lot of action scenes in Folk Dance. After learning some dances, I'm sure I can fight more beautifully," said Ji Ning. "There's also Sanda. There's an action scene where a woman dresses up as a man, so I have to fight with more power, otherwise it won't look good."
Nuonuo tapped the notebook and wanted to persuade her that she didn't have much rest time before joining the crew of "Illusion Healing". Now she had to add two new learning tasks, which would make her exhausted. And the crew would definitely arrange a corresponding action drama teacher, so she didn't need to worry so much.
But she didn't say it when the time came. After all, wasn't it her serious and responsible attitude that allowed her to get to where she is today and be recognized by many people in the industry
Nuonuo wrote it down and said, "I'll find a few teachers and send you videos. You can choose one."
"good."

A week later, the penultimate issue of "First Kiss Diary" arrived as scheduled.
Ji Ning got up a little late that day and missed making breakfast for him. When she arrived at the dressing room, she found something placed in her place.
Their shoots were very adaptable. Sometimes they didn’t have time to do the styling together, so they would split into two groups and go directly to the location to shoot. Sometimes their schedules matched and there was extra room, so they would do the makeup and hair together.
Ji Ning sat down at his seat, pointed at the brown paper bag and asked, "Whose is this?"
"Breakfast," the man said with his hands folded, "I made the rice noodle rolls."
The girl stared at the bag in shock.
Is this... reverse support? The idol is supporting her back
Ji Ning opened the lid, poured the soup on it, untied the chopsticks and took a bite.
It tastes very good.
I didn’t expect that her idol is not only famous for her popularity and looks, but also for her cooking skills.
After breakfast and finishing his hair and makeup, the man put his hands in his coat pockets and said casually, "Let's go shopping."
"shop?"
"Don't you like it?" He raised his eyebrows. "Don't girls like shopping?"
Thinking that he had never accompanied her shopping before, and that it was cold outside and she would easily get frozen red, he pondered for a while before coming up with this idea.
Let her relax a bit too.
Ji Ning smiled: "I like it, who doesn't like shopping?"
She was really satisfied with this arrangement, and even her eyes lit up.
"Buy it. I'll pay for it today."
Although he knew that his idol was really rich, Ji Ning still didn't buy anything expensive. This shopping mall located in the city center could only be described in four words - extremely luxurious.
As long as she keeps her eyes on something for more than five seconds, a man will definitely appear by her side: "Buy it if you like it."
This made her control her gaze tightly and not let it wander to useless things.
Based on the principle that contributing sales for one's own spokesperson is less important than contributing sales for other spokespersons, Ji Ning visited several stores that he endorsed.
This man is a treasure from head to toe. With one face, he has signed three endorsement contracts: men's skin care, women's skin care and women's beauty products. He has five clothing brands, including the Red Blood and Blue Blood ready-to-wear lines. Not to mention the shoe endorsement, the brands would rather have the same endorsement than withdraw it, which shows how high his commercial value is.
After shopping and having lunch in the morning, they unexpectedly ran into Ji Shiyan’s group of friends.
The mall had been cleared, and a friend greeted Ji Shiyan through the glass door. When Ji Ning was considering whether she should take shelter for a while, the man had already gone over and politely introduced her to his friend.
The introduction put her in a trance for a moment.
He was willing to introduce himself to his friend without any reservations, as if it was some kind of admission.
His friends were also very easy to talk to. Perhaps it was impossible to become friends with him if you had a bad personality. Ji Ning became familiar with everyone in no time.
Thinking it would be boring for the two of them to go shopping together, they temporarily changed their afternoon plans and decided to play a game with his friends.
Including Shuangji and his two companions, there were four men and four women, which was just enough to play a good game.
They drew lots to form groups, with two men and two women in each group, and Ji Ning and Ji Shiyan in the opposing group.
The game is similar to name tag tearing, with balloons tied behind each person. The enemy is eliminated if they pop the balloon, and the only one left is the winner.
Not long after the game started, Ji Ning was holding her balloon and scouting for the enemy in the stadium when she was suddenly attacked from the side. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and started running while holding the balloon.
The one who attacked her was Zhao Jing, a male friend of Ji Shiyan's who was in the same group with him.
Although Ji Ning ran fast, she was soon forced into a dead corner by Zhao Jing. Just when Zhao Jing grabbed her and was about to pinch her balloon, Ji Shiyan appeared somehow.
The man was quick-eyed and quick-handed. Seeing Zhao Jing getting close to Ji Ning, he subconsciously went over and grabbed Zhao Jing's hand.
Zhao Jing was stunned when he saw the whole thing: "Brother, am I not your teammate?!"
Ji Ning found the right moment and jumped. When he jumped out of the blind spot, he caught a balloon. He didn't see who it belonged to, but he knew it was from the enemy. He pressed it hard and it burst.
Streamers burst from balloons, and the scene of someone being eliminated was quite ceremonial.
Ji Shiyan didn't react. He held Zhao Jing's hand tightly and looked at Ji Ning who was backing away with a smile.
The girl put two fingers together to salute him and said with a smile, "First blood, thanks."
He turned around and saw Zhao Jing behind him with an expression that said "you're hopeless" and stared at him speechlessly.
"Can you still care about your girlfriend a little more, Ji Shiyan?!?"
The author has something to say: Salt: Yes, I can
Don't say it, it's worth it
There are also red envelopes today!
