The air in the dressing room was silent for a few seconds.
Ji Ning glanced at Ji Shiyan, then turned her eyes away. After a few seconds, she moved her eyes back without making a sound. The man was still looking at her, as if waiting for her to explain what it meant to sleep naked.
It was no longer possible to play dumb at this time. Ji Ning licked his lips and asked carefully: "Did you... hear it?"
He didn't expect her to ask such a question. He laughed dumbly and played with the pinky ring: "What do you think?"
That's what I heard.
It seemed that the room was small, and even if they lowered their voices, they could not escape the fate of being heard by the real person. Ji Ning silently lit a candle for himself in his heart.
Seeing that she bit her lower lip until it turned white and didn't give any other response, Ji Shiyan stopped reading the script and looked at her intently: "Tell me."
She tried desperately to delay time, her eyelashes fluttering in panic: "What?"
He answered quickly: "About me sleeping naked."
He was just caught when he went back to play with his pet. He didn't expect that topics like "girlfriend" and "sleeping naked" would arise.
It seemed like someone was laughing quietly next to me.
Her fingers were burning, her eyes were a little erratic, and she suddenly thought of something. She stuttered and tried to be firm: "Your fans told me that in private messages."
"My fans private messaged you this?"
"Maybe he knew you and I were filming a variety show, so he sent me a private message asking me to take good care of you."
After all, before many artists appear on certain variety shows, their fans will leave messages on the MC’s Weibo, telling them their idol’s taboos and likes and dislikes, so that their idol can suffer less.
So, the reason why fans told her about Ji Shiyan’s habit sounds reasonable... right
As for how she knew that Ji Shiyan slept naked, as a fan, it was very easy for her to know her idol's little habit. Besides, he was a top star, and everyone in the fan circle would know about it if a friend casually leaked the news.
Ji Shiyan didn't say anything. Someone asked in confusion, "In this case, it would be enough to just tell you what he likes to eat, but why do you have to tell you that he sleeps naked? Does he also want you to take care of him when he sleeps?"
There was another round of ambiguous laughter.
Ji Ning stammered, picking at his fingers: "Then I don't know, why don't you ask the fans?"
The topic that was not suitable for children finally stopped when Nuo Nuo came in. Seeing that everyone was chatting, Nuo Nuo couldn't hold back her emotions and ran to Ji Ning's side: "I suddenly remembered that when I went to get clothes yesterday, Sun He was also in the dressing room."
Ji Ning had actually guessed it a long time ago.
Counterfeit dresses are harmful and have no benefits. The team would not cheat her. If Sun He had not intervened, the things would never have reached Nuonuo's hands.
"I really don't understand," Nuonuo was filled with righteous indignation, "She has someone supporting her, and you haven't threatened her interests no matter what, so why is she targeting you so much?"
At this point, she has become more open-minded and shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe I stole her boyfriend in my previous life."
"Speaking of her boyfriend... I heard that she had a fiancé when she just turned 17, how come she hasn't gotten married yet?"
Someone explained for Nuonuo, "Her fiancé doesn't like her. Everyone in the circle knows it, so he keeps dragging it out."
"Why get engaged if you don't like it?"
"Children of large companies don't have that many choices. Business marriages are very complicated," the hairdresser laughed. "You'd better just be an assistant."
Nuo Nuo uttered an unhappy "oh" and started working as an assistant. She said to Ji Ning, "I'll audition for the play 'There Are Stars Here' the day after tomorrow. You can stay at home and write a biography tomorrow, right?"
The stylist was surprised: "Writing a character biography for an audition? Do you have to be so serious?"
Ji Ning smiled: "I'm used to it."
She had been a fan of Ji Shiyan before she entered the circle, because he took every role seriously and would write long character analysis even for supporting roles, and she also developed this attitude.
"There Are Stars Here" is a web drama adapted from the novel by the author Bo Pi Da Xian. It has many fans and can be considered an IP. In addition, the heroine is likable and the production team is excellent, so many young actresses are vying for it.
The day after tomorrow is just an audition. I will choose a few scenes from the script to perform, and the director will pick the best one from the actors.
The competition is so fierce that Ji Ning dare not slack off. He has to think carefully tomorrow about how to act so as to stand out and impress the director.
The makeup artist next to Ji Ning waved her blending brush and said, "Sun He should also go to try out Xingchen. I heard them discussing it yesterday, and her team even asked me to be in charge of her makeup tomorrow."
Nuonuo clenched his fist: "Then remember to make her look ugly."
"No need," Ji Ning said, "make up nicer."
Since Sun He is going too, she must win this battle.
"Make it look better?" The makeup artist, who was on good terms with her, asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
She nodded, "The prettier the better."
After finishing her makeup, Ji Ning went to another place to do her hair.
Ji Shiyan, who had heard the entire conversation, turned a page of the script and suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Sheng felt strange. "I have never seen anyone asking their friends to make their competitors look pretty."
"It's nothing to beat someone with poor makeup. It's real skill to beat an opponent who performs very well." The man found it more and more interesting and tapped the spine of the book with his knuckles. "Do you understand?"
Jiang Sheng stared at him for a long time, then managed to say, "Why do I feel that his behavior is so similar to yours?"
Ji Shiyan raised his eyebrows.
///
It was exactly seven o'clock when Ji Ning finished his styling. Today's schedule was very full and he had to record until eight o'clock in the evening.
There has been no script for the recent filming. After all, both parties are still in the adaptation period, and it would be better to play freely.
Today's filming was at the Wildlife Park. The entire park was built not long ago, and Ji Ning had only been here once before when filming. However, there were staff everywhere during the filming, and many animals were not released due to filming needs. She had more than a dozen scenes a day, and she had to leave without having time to play.
Although filming this variety show is also part of her job, after all, she can be herself and there is no script, so she feels much freer and more relaxed.
The same is true for Ji Shiyan on the other side. After all, a big part of the reason he participated in "First Kiss Diary" was for travel. With his popularity, he can't travel like a normal person in China, let alone go out. When filming the variety show, at least a large number of tourists can be cleared, and the few remaining pedestrians will not come forward to disturb him.
He quickly got into the mood, picked up two coconuts at the door, inserted a straw and handed a small one to Ji Ning: "Have you been here before?"
She lowered her head and bit the straw: "Well... I came here to film a movie."
"You're in luck," the man raised his chin slightly, "This is my first time."
The word "first time" made her throat choke and she almost choked on the coconut juice. She held the straw for a while before nodding as if nothing had happened.
She actually, finally, had the honor to be able to participate in his first time.
Not long after entering the park, the first animal to greet them was a monkey.
The monkeys here are very naughty. They will jump directly onto tourists to ask for food, scratch and claw them, and even more shameless is that they will snatch people's bags.
One tourist had chased the bag for most of the park, exhausted and disheartened: "Don't climb the tree, brother. I apologize. Isn't it enough for me to acknowledge you as my ancestor?"
When Ji Ning thought that he would be the next person passing by, the smile on his face disappeared instantly and he hugged his little coconut tightly.
Ji Shiyan glanced at her sideways and smiled, "What are you afraid of?"
It wasn’t that she was afraid, she was just very cautious: “What if it steps into my coconut and smears the coconut juice on my face?”
"You have a rich imagination," Ji Shiyan took out the biscuits he had given to her, "I'm here, there will be no problem."
He said it was no problem and it really was no problem. The noisy monkey became very well-behaved when he got on it, and even shook hands with him after eating the biscuits.
It seems that Ji Shiyan's cross-border charm has not diminished in the slightest. Not only has he fascinated thousands of girls, but even animals cannot escape his clutches.
After feeding the monkeys and hippos, Ji Shiyan turned and walked to the right. Ji Ning looked at the sign above his head and trembled: "...Where are you going?"
He said calmly: "Lions and tigers."
"Then I'll wait for you here?" She took two steps back, still seeming a little trembling.
"The tigers in the zoo don't bite people," Ji Shiyan said, holding her shoulders and leading her forward without giving her a chance to retreat, "You can still touch its head."
"No... no need."
The man chuckled softly, "Yes."
Ji Ning raised his eyes and held his gaze for 0.01 seconds.
Those eyes were deep and alluring. All her distracting thoughts were cleared away, and her only thought was to follow him. When she reached the area with the wild animals, she suddenly woke up from her dream.
No wonder he once just watched a show as a senior, sitting there without saying a word the whole time, but he still became a hot topic just by attracting fans. A bunch of fans from other shows came to him and shouted, "Did Ji Shiyan learn witchcraft? Otherwise, how could they be bewitched and lost their souls?"
The nickname "King of Gu" came into being naturally. Ji Ning experienced it particularly deeply today and secretly felt that the nickname was indeed well-deserved.
It didn't take the Gu King a few minutes to touch the tiger, and he urged Ji Ning to give it a try: "Just treat it as a big cat."
Normally, she would call the big cat and praise its cuteness outside the screen, but now, witnessing the aura emanating from this big guy, Ji Ning felt that she was bold enough for not turning around and running away, and he asked her to pet a cat
Before Ji Ning could refuse, Ji Shiyan leaned over and said, "I'll scratch its chin for you."
So he began to slowly scratch the chin of the king of beasts. The big cat squinted its eyes in satisfaction. Ji Ning's heart was beating in her throat, but seeing that Ji Shiyan was already helping her to distract the tiger's attention, she couldn't back down anymore. She bravely stroked the tiger's head twice without thinking twice.
Of course, nothing happened in the end. When Ji Ning walked out of the beast area, he was still frightened. The man next to him was quite satisfied: "I told you it's okay."
She couldn't help but complain quietly: "Do you all like to let girls break through themselves?"
"All?" Ji Shiyan paused after hearing a certain keyword, "Who else?"
When she was in high school, her best friend had some male friends. Sometimes they would go out to play with those boys. Ji Ning would always be dragged by them to go to the haunted house and the bungee jumping machine. Later, she found out that several of the boys had a crush on her.
But I just said it casually, I don’t know if he will really ask, and I don’t dare to say other boys’ names at this time, so I stammered for a long time and said: "No one else..."
It is true that no one else is like this. She was obsessed with studying before her senior year of high school, busy with art exams in her senior year, and after the exams, she started to love work. She has no time to fall in love. If this show is considered a relationship, it is probably her first love...
After listening to her pale explanation, Ji Shiyan just curled his lips.
Later, the two went to see the giant pandas. Ji Ning showed unprecedented interest in Panda. The keeper suggested playing a small game, asking them to guess which bamboo the panda would eat. The loser would be hit on the head.
Ji Ning guessed the left side, and Ji Shiyan guessed the right side. In the end, Ji Ning guessed correctly, and Ji Shiyan had to accept the punishment and was flicked on the head by her.
Idols cannot be desecrated, not even by oneself, so Ji Ning just reached out and stroked his hair gently.
The breeder laughed: "Are you flicking him or picking the catkins off his head?"
"I played it. If you don't believe me, ask me." Ji Ning looked at Ji Shiyan bravely, "Does it hurt?"
Ji Shiyan looked at her for two seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He covered the place she had touched with a half-smile, pretending to be sincere but saying, "Yeah, it hurts a lot."
Later, Ji Ning also lost. I thought he would just touch her, but I didn’t expect that there was such strength on her forehead.
Although it didn't hurt, she couldn't help but cover her forehead: "Are you serious?"
He was in an especially good mood for some reason, and narrowed his eyes at her somewhat indignant look: "Yeah."
Time passed quickly and it was night. The two of them had a candlelight dinner in a tent. The night was just right. The man she loved poured her a glass of champagne, and she drank it all in one gulp in a daze.
Ji Shiyan, who had just filled his glass, raised his glass to drink with her, but when he glanced at the bottom of her empty glass, he almost dropped the glass.
"… "
"You haven't drunk alcohol yet?"
Before, I just pretended to drink a little at dinner parties. Strictly speaking, I had never drunk or gotten drunk, and I didn't know my limit.
He poured her another cup, and the two cups clinked together. Ji Ning drank it all up again in a daze.
"That's not how you drink alcohol. Just a little is enough." He thought it was funny, so he laughed without hesitation, "You're twenty years old, and you haven't had much alcohol yet?"
"Who else is worthy of my drinking except you?" She burped a little, "The wine is so bad."
"… "
Ji Shiyan opened his lips and felt something was wrong.
Why does it seem like... I've become bolder
He ate for another ten minutes. The porcelain plate was a bit dazzling under the light. He couldn't help but look up: "Why are the lights here so bright?"
Ji Ning held the champagne, his eyes dull and he began to be in a trance, "Maybe it's your beauty that's causing the power."
“… … … ”
The man turned back and stared at her in disbelief for five seconds. Seeing her flushed cheeks, he thought she must be drunk.
Alcohol makes cowards brave, especially after two drinks.
The drunk Ji Ning stood up, ran to the giraffe park and asked for a photo.
Ji Shiyan said: "That is a model giraffe. It has really gone back."
"I don't care," the drunk girl was a little unreasonable and forced the phone into his hand, "Take a picture for me."
Ji Shiyan raised his eyebrows helplessly: "Okay - I'll take the photo for you."
He raised his phone, but she was not satisfied again. She ran over and pressed his shoulder: "How can you use such a deadly angle? Squat down."
Ji Shiyan, who had never been ordered to squat and take photos, was shocked.
After a while, the man chuckled and said, "What if I still can't take a good picture even if I squat down?"
Unexpectedly of this assumption, Ji Ning was stunned, her eyelashes fluttered a few times like butterfly wings, and she didn't know what kind of light was sprinkled into her eyes, and her lips were licked bright by her, making her look fresh and bright.
Then, Ji Shiyan felt the little girl who didn't even dare to bounce his head pinch his chin and said in a casual voice: "Then I will beat you."
