"Little Five, Little Five?"
"Um?"
"Why are you in a daze." Guan Yuanbai said, "Grandpa asked you something."
Guan Zhiyi came back to his senses, and when he looked up again, the confusion in his eyes had been suppressed: "Ah, Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just asked you what have you been up to since you haven't come back for so long?"
"Well, I recorded a variety show some time ago..."
Guan Zhiyi began to tell Qi Mingsheng some interesting things about her acting and variety shows, but no matter how excited she was, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had been crushed by a stone.
Later, Qi Mingsheng went back to his room to rest, and Guan Zhiyi and Guan Yuanbai also planned to go home.
Qi Chengyan sent the two of them out, and when they came out of Qi's house, Guan Zhiyi suddenly turned around.
Qi Chengyan was still standing at the door watching: "What? Did you drop something?"
Guan Zhiyi shook his head and forced a smile: "Grandpa said just now, is the person my brother likes called Yang Mengjia?"
"Like it?" Qi Chengyan smiled, "Do you still want to gossip about this?"
"Of course, I remember seeing Ms. Yang by chance a few years ago. She is indeed pretty. Is her name Yang Mengjia?"
Qi Chengyan thought for a while: "Yes."
Guan Zhiyi asked, "So you really like it?"
Qi Chengyan knocked on her head: "What do you want to do after asking so many questions?"
"Just... just be curious." Guan Zhiyi clenched her hands by the side, "And, shouldn't you show your girlfriend to everyone?"
It is difficult to say the word girlfriend.
Qi Chengyan smiled: "Girlfriend? Help me come to a conclusion so quickly, the child is quite worried about my business."
Guan Yuanbai: "Who doesn't worry about your young master Qi's marriage, how many eyes are on you."
Qi Chengyan glanced at him: "Are you embarrassed to say me?"
"My family hasn't reached the point where they force me to go on a blind date."
"Oh, amazing."
"It's quite remarkable." Guan Yuanbai was a little proud, "That's it, Xiao Wu, let's go back."
Guan Zhiyi was pulled back by Guan Yuanbai.
Guan Yuanbai didn't find anything wrong with Guan Zhiyi, but he suddenly remembered something while walking, and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Qi Chengyan.
Qi Chengyan just turned around and wanted to enter the house when he received a message on his phone.
Guan Yuanbai: [Isn't the female artist you covered when I met you at the hotel last time your girlfriend?]
Qi Chengyan paused and looked back. At the end of the road, the two figures have slowly gone away. Qi Chengyan glanced at the small figure beside Guan Yuanbai, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
[no]
Yes, there is a problem.
**
The Guan family will have New Year's Eve dinner together during the Chinese New Year. The location of the New Year's Eve dinner is flexible, and this year it is Guan Zhiyi's turn.
At noon, grandparents, uncles and uncles' families arrived one after another.
When Guan Zhiyi came down from upstairs, there were already many people sitting in the living room, but apart from his uncle's son Guan Ziqian, he didn't see any other brothers and sisters.
Guan Zhiyi walked into the living room and greeted everyone one by one. After greeting everyone, she found an excuse and left.
Presumably the other people who are not here have the same idea as her and don't want to be the target of the elders. Sure enough, when Guan Zhiyi walked to the activity room downstairs, she saw her two older brothers playing billiards inside.
"I knew you were here." Guan Zhiyi walked over, "Where's sister? Why aren't you here?"
"Ah Xi hasn't come yet." The one who spoke was Guan Ziyu, the uncle's second son. He was three years older than her brother Guan Yuanbai, but he had an outgoing temper, and he was more like a younger brother when he was cheerful.
"Xiao Wu is getting more and more beautiful." Guan Ziyu put down his cue, stepped forward and squeezed her face.
Guan Zhiyi took his hand away, and said unhappily, "Second brother, can you stop making faces when you meet?"
Guan Ziyu smiled: "Your little round face is easy to pinch."
Guan Zhiyi stood behind Guan Yuanbai, staying away from him: "When will my sister come?"
"The young lady is busy."
"What are you busy with?"
Guan Ziyu: "Of course I'm busy eating, drinking and having fun."
"… Oh."
Just as he said that, there was a roar of a sports car outside the garage.
Guan Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "No, here we come."
Guan Zhiyi: "I'll go and have a look."
The activity room is on the same floor as the underground garage, not far away. After Guan Zhiyi walked to the garage, he saw an eye-catching blue sports car parked among the cars.
Then, the car door opened upwards, and a pair of slender legs stepped out. But she didn't get up immediately, but bent down and changed the flat shoes on her feet into a pair of stiletto heels, and then quietly got up and closed the car door.
"Sister." Guan Zhiyi beckoned.
The woman not far away took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful face. She looked over and frowned slightly, "Xiao Wu."
This is a woman whose whole body is exquisite even down to her hair.
"You're just here." Guan Zhiyi dragged his fluffy slippers and ran over, "Why didn't you come with Erbo and the others?"
"I just finished afternoon tea with my friends." Guan Xi looked her up and down, "Xiao Wu, have you lost a lot of weight?"
"fine."
"Pretty." Guan Xi frowned slightly, "I told you earlier that I would lose weight."
Guan Zhiyi: "... yes."
"Is everyone here?"
"Um."
"Then go in."
Guan Xi is the only daughter of her grandfather Guan Hong's second son. The second son got married and had children later, so Guan Xi is only one year older than Guan Zhiyi. But although they are almost the same age, Guan Xi and Guan Zhiyi have very different temperaments and behavior styles.
However, this does not affect the deep love between the two sisters. Guan Xi's eyes are high above the top, and he is arrogant, but it is rare that he has loved this sister so much since childhood.
So after the two of them greeted the elders, they went to Guan Zhiyi's room.
"Your recent variety show was quite funny." Guan Xi said while sitting on her bed, playing with her mobile phone.
"yes."
"I heard from the Internet that you and Xiao Ran are going to act in that... "The Court and the Wild"?"
"Yes, it will start after the next year."
Guan Xi nodded: "Finally, there is a character to watch."
"..."
"You're also stubborn. If your father and brother won't let us help, we won't help you in the open, and you won't let me help you secretly... Fortunately, you've finally become popular recently."
"That's not red, is it?"
"Then I've seen you on the Internet a lot lately." Guan Xi said, "By the way, I heard from my dad last time that you have a boyfriend?"
Guan Zhiyi choked: "Why does everyone know about it?"
"Of course I know about such an important matter. I've never heard of the name Hua Hongxi, but is he Qi Chengyan's cousin?"
"Um."
"That looks okay, take him out to meet me sometime."
Guan Zhiyi groaned, and said perfunctorily: "...Let's see again."
Guan Xi thought for a while, and suddenly said: "But I think it's quite strange, your blind date is looking for cousin Qi Chengyan, why don't you just go to Qi Chengyan himself?"
"Cough—" Guan Zhiyi took a sip of water and got stuck in his throat, "Cough, cough!"
Guan Xi hurriedly took out a piece of paper and gave it to her: "Did I say something wrong? Didn't Qi Chengyan return to China, isn't it just right?"
"Ahem... He, I... How could it be possible for me and him."
Guan Xi was puzzled: "How is it impossible?"
Guan Zhiyi slowed down, looking at Guan Xi who didn't understand anything, her throat suddenly felt a little stuffy.
How is it impossible
is unlikely.
When she was a child, she thought of him as an older brother, as an adult, she admired and liked him, and she was used to attachment. After meeting again, she was ecstatic, and quickly put the resentment that "he left suddenly and didn't come back for a long time" behind her.
She was always like this with him, no matter what happened, she couldn't be angry for long.
She didn't know how her feelings for him changed, no, maybe not. Maybe it was faintly different when she was a child, but she didn't notice it. As for Qi Chengyan, she knew that he regarded her as a younger sister too much. From childhood to adulthood, that kind of emotion may be deeply rooted.
So she will not and dare not ask what to express, because she will be afraid. I was afraid that he would look surprised and puzzled, and that he would laugh and say that he just regarded her as his younger sister...
Moreover, he seems to have someone he likes now, so what should she say and do
When thinking of "he already has that person", my heart feels depressed again.
She has been feeling this way ever since she came out of Qi's house that day, with nowhere to vent, and nothing to do.
"Tell me, why is it impossible? Oh, could it be that you think he is too old." Guan Xi frowned, "It's okay, he should only be six years older than you?"
"no… "
"Is that not handsome enough or not rich enough? No, I remember he was very handsome, and he was quite rich. Well... so his cousin is much better than him—"
"Sister, stop guessing." Guan Zhiyi said helplessly, "Let's not talk about this, okay?"
"I just want to tell you that the other half must be worthy of you."
Guan Zhiyi took her hand: "I know, I know, I have to be like you, the prospective brother-in-law and you are the most suitable and perfect match."
"Jiang Suizhou." Guan Xi snorted softly and nodded slightly, "It may not be the best match, but it is barely suitable."

But after a while, the New Year's Eve dinner started, and the whole family was lively, chatting while eating.
Guan Zhiyi made a toast to the elders as usual, and then, because he was in a bad mood, he just silently drank to himself. After getting dizzy from drinking, I couldn't help feeling a little irritable, and also a little... missing him.
The more I told myself it was impossible, the more I missed him.
She really felt that she was trapped in the situation of being pampered by Qi Chengyan when she was a child, so she couldn't change it immediately when she grew up, and she would be endlessly jealous when she thought that he would be nice to another person in the future.
It was wrong, but she couldn't control it.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing, don't drink too much." Sitting next to her, Guan Yuanbai reminded her aloud after noticing that she drank a lot by herself.
Guan Zhiyi didn't answer, lowered his head and said suddenly: "Brother, do you think Brother Cheng Yan's house is also very lively now..."
"Maybe."
"Will their family have a lot of delicious food?"
Guan Yuanbai smiled, suddenly remembered the past, and joked: "Why, I still want to go to other people's homes for New Year's Eve dinner like when I was a child."
Guan Zhiyi shook his head: "How do you know I want to go?"
"Still want to fool around?"
Guan Zhiyi pushed back the chair: "I'm going."
Guan Yuanbai held her back and said in disbelief, "Are you really going?"
"I'm just kidding." Guan Zhiyi pulled his hand away, "I just went out to get some air, and I drank too much."
Guan Yuanbai glanced at her and felt relieved: "Don't run around."
"I know I know."
The elders were chatting with each other, but no one noticed when Guan Zhiyi left the table.
Guan Zhiyi walked out of the courtyard and out the door.
It was very cold in the winter night, and there was even light snow. After leaving the heating, the cold wind hits head-on. I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, but Guan Zhiyi's whole body is hot. She walked straight forward, seemingly aimlessly, but the direction was that person's direction.
I won't be as presumptuous as I was when I was a child, and I ran away to someone's house during the Chinese New Year.
However, I still want to see him.
