It's already an hour later when I'm full of wine and food. After all, it's because Jiang Jingbai is here, everyone can't let go of the fun, and even the wine fight is good for both brothers. You take a bite and I don't dare to make a fuss Coincidentally, Yu Xi didn't like an overly noisy atmosphere, and because the boss was sitting next to her, other people shunned her, which gave her a lot of peace.
The temperature in the box was slightly higher, and she blushed slightly, not sure if it was because of the effect of the glass of wine or it was still hot.
Jiang Jingbai glanced at her from the corner of her eye, and saw her resting her chin in boredom, poking the winter melon in the bowl with her chopsticks. The soup was served five minutes ago, but she didn't take a sip. She remembered that Yuxi used to eat very fast, and every time she finished eating, she was still not finished, and then she would poke the food in the bowl with her chin like this, but she never urged her to hurry up, but just waited patiently for her.
Yu Xi is not a slow person, but all her patience was given to her.
Jiang Jingbai squeezed her chopsticks tightly, lowered her head, the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Director Zhao got up and said, "Is everyone full?"
Everyone agrees.
He looked at Jiang Jingbai: "Boss Jiang, there is a karaoke singer next door, we can move over."
"I've booked the box."
Jiang Jingbai shook her head: "No need."
Director Zhao hesitated for a few seconds: "Are you going back?"
Jiang Jingbai hummed: "Go ahead."
Director Zhao smiled: "Then let's end here too."
"There is still filming tomorrow, everyone should not play too late."
When Yu Xi heard this, she put down her chopsticks and breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Jingbai caught a glimpse of her lowering her eyes and raising her lips.
The people in the box went out one after another. This hotel was rented by Director Zhao for the crew, so the others went upstairs directly after saying hello. Zhong Chen trotted to Yuxi and asked, "Xixi, we Go back too."
Before Yu Xi could speak, he heard Tao Yitong's voice: "Yu Xi."
"Sister Bai said let me go back with your car."
Yu Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Jiang Jingbai who was still standing beside him, and met Jiang Jingbai's gaze. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Jiang Jingbai walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tao Yitong smiled softly: "It's okay, I want to give a ride."
Yuxi stood aside.
Jiang Jingbai lowered her head and thought for a few seconds: "How about this, you send Yitong back, and Yu Xi and I go back along the way."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Xi: "Is it okay?"
There was hope in his eyes, Zhong Chen held his breath, no matter how bold she was, she would not dare to refute Jiang Jingbai's face in person, Yu Xi pressed her twitching temples, she was not a good drinker, and the box was stuffy just now, so she Feeling dizzy, he thought for a few seconds and said, "That's it."
Zhong Chen was unhappy and tugged on her sleeve: "But—"
Yu Xi patted the back of her hand: "It's okay."
"I don't like sitting with her anyway."
Compared to Jiang Jingbai and Tao Yitong, she would rather take Jiang Jingbai's car, at least Jiang Jingbai doesn't talk, so she can be quiet.
Hearing what she said, Zhong Chen could only nod his head: "Alright then, go back and be careful."
Yu Xi watched Zhong Chen and Tao Yitong leave with a hushed voice.
Director Zhao next to him asked, "Then Yuxi, you and Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Jingbai said: "I'll take Miss Yu back."
Yu Xi looked at her sideways.
Instead of going back together, but sending her back, Jiang Jingbai still understands the rules in the circle.
Director Zhao had no choice but to say: "Then be careful on the road."
Jiang Jingbai nodded slightly: "Okay."
Yu Xi and Director Zhao also greeted each other, and finally said to Jiang Jingbai, "Let's go."
"Ok."
A shallow voice came from the side, Yu Xi looked up at her eyes, the light from the hotel lobby refracted her back, stretching her back very long, part of Jiang Jingbai's figure was submerged in the darkness, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.
She looked away for a few seconds, and took the lead in walking towards the parking lot on her high heels.
Jiang Jingbai followed behind her.
She remembered that Yu Xi always liked to bow her head when she was walking, with her hands behind her back, her steps were not fast, she liked to talk while walking, and she liked to be coquettish, she would often approach her in the middle of the walk, smiling brightly: "Jingbai, is it okay?"
Every time she pretended not to speak, it was just to listen to her coquettish voice twice more.
It's a pity that she could only hear such a voice later in her dreams.
The cold voice around her interrupted her thoughts, and Yu Xi only remembered something when she was almost at the parking lot. She asked, "Can you drive?"
Jiang Jingbai was stunned by the question, and Yu Xi continued, "Didn't you drink?"
It was her toast.
Jiang Jingbai was silent for a few seconds: "Let's get in the car first, I'll ask the assistant to come over."
Yu Xi pursed her lips, regretting why she didn't take Zhong Chen's car just now, but she had no choice but to nod, "Okay."
After the two got into the car, Jiang Jingbai turned on the air conditioner in the car, and she handed Yu Xi a blanket: "Do you want to take a rest first?"
Yu Xi wasn't sleepy yet, but instead of being silent with Jiang Jingbai, she might as well sleep with her head closed, so she took the blanket Jiang Jingbai handed her, leaned on the back of the chair, and turned over in a few seconds. Body, the movement is not big, but in the extraordinarily quiet compartment, it is harsh.
Jiang Jingbai turned her head: "Is the air conditioner turned up?"
Yu Xi held his breath: "No."
With a stiff tone and an attitude of not wanting to talk too much, Jiang Jingbai swallowed the words that came to her lips and hummed lightly.
Bored, Yu Xi took out her mobile phone from her bag, first chatted with Hu Xiaojing for a while, licked her goddaughter's pretty face, and then took a look on Weibo.
The hot searches on Weibo have changed a lot, and the names about her and Liu Yuyao have also been suppressed in the hot topics. This time, you don’t need to think about it, it must be Liu Yuyao. Now it's crazy.
But Yuxi was not very happy either.
Because she didn't know how long she could hold her like this.
Now it's just because she has just won two awards and is on the cusp of the storm, that's why netizens are actively discussing her affairs, but what about half a year later, or a year later? If there is no announcement or event at that time, let alone being suppressed by Liu Yuyao, even a third- and fourth-tier artist can suppress her at will.
It's not that this circle is too cold and ruthless, it's just that the changes are too great.
A few months later, it was another look.
Yu Xi has been in the circle for so long, how can she not understand this truth, so she is still not happy now.
I had already drank, but now the atmosphere was so quiet, when Jiang Jingbai turned her head for the second time, Yu Xi was already asleep, but the phone was still in her hand, the screen was dark, she turned her body to help Yu Xi She flipped the blanket up, and took her phone away from her hand. Yu Xi didn't let go of her hand, and pressed it, and the screen turned on.
She is a fingerprint lock, so Jiang Jingbai was not surprised to see the content on her screen, glanced roughly, it was her and Liu Yuyao's gossip.
Jiang Jingbai stared at the phone for a few seconds with heavy eyes, and finally turned off the phone and put it in Yu Xi's bag.
The assistant didn't arrive until half an hour later.
As soon as he opened the car door when he arrived, Jiang Jingbai said, "Don't talk, drive."
"Keep your voice down."
The assistant was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded: "Oh."
While waiting for the traffic light, the assistant looked at the rear seat from the rear mirror, and found that there was still a person lying down. He was stunned, and did not react when the green light came on. , did not speak, but the assistant felt chills, and he hurriedly started the engine.
The weather at night was not so stuffy anymore, Jiang Jingbai's car window was slightly opened, and occasionally a light came in, through which she jumped on Yu Xi's body, Jiang Jingbai's eyes were gentle when she turned her head to look at it.
Although the assistant was curious about who was behind the death, he had the heart and was not so courageous, so he kept silent all the way, and drove the car to the apartment at the fastest speed.
After arriving at the apartment, the assistant looked back. Yu Xi was sleeping on her side, facing the seat, so the assistant could only see the back of her head and slightly curly long hair. It doesn't look real.
After the car was parked, the assistant hesitated, but still asked, "Boss Jiang, do you want my help?"
Jiang Jingbai shook her head: "No, you can go back."
The assistant opened his mouth: "Okay."
Jiang Jingbai waited for the assistant to leave before getting out of the car and opening Yuxi's rear door. She lowered her head and said softly, "Yuxi, wake up, we are here."
There was no movement, Jiang Jingbai reached out to touch her shoulder, thinking of her previous expression and her assistant's words, she endured it, curled her fingers, and still whispered: "Yu Xi?"
"Yu Xi you wake up."
Yu Xi had a dream. In the dream, she ran a long, long way. When she stopped, there was someone standing in front of her. It was Jiang Jingbai. Before she could walk over, she saw Tao Yitong walking around the corner. Jingbai smiled slightly at Tao Yitong, the two were talking, their gestures were intimate, Yu Xiqi stepped forward in a few strides, and slapped Jiang Jingbai in the face!
Snapped!
Jiang Jingbai, who was lowering her head and trying to wake Yu Xi up, was taken aback, her cheeks tingling slightly, she looked down at Yu Xi, and saw her eyebrows moving, as if she was about to wake up, Jiang Jingbai stood up straight outside the car.
After a few seconds, Yu Xi woke up. She was still a little dazed when she sat up, then looked down at the blanket on her body, and Jiang Jingbai who was standing outside the car, and said, "Are you there?"
When she just woke up, her voice was biased, hoarse, and she didn't have the usual cold feeling. Jiang Jingbai stood outside the car: "Just arrived, are you awake?"
Yu Xi nodded, groping unconsciously with her hand, Jiang Jingbai saw her move and said, "The phone is in your bag."
"Oh."
Yu Xi agreed, turned her head to take the bag, opened it, and saw that the phone was indeed inside. She was just about to get out of the car when she heard the phone ringing. Yu Xi raised her eyebrows and answered the phone.
It was Zhong Chen's call.
"Hey, are you home yet?"
Yu Xi just woke up, her expression was dazed, she lost her aloofness and became a little cute, she nodded, her voice was lazy: "It's here, how about you?"
Zhong Chen took a deep breath: "Not yet."
She didn't even know if Tao Yitong did it on purpose, she said to use the navigation, she said no, she knew the way, and then the two of them got lost, if she hadn't had a good temper, she would have thrown her out of the car long ago.
Zhong Chen nodded solemnly, um, it must be because she has a good temper.
Well, I haven't sent this Bodhisattva home until now.
Zhong Chen was angry and worried about Yu Xi, that's why he made the phone call.
Yu Xi smiled: "Hurry up and take her home, I'll go upstairs first."
"Bye."
Zhong Chen hummed and hung up the phone.
Tao Yitong sat next to her, saw her hang up the phone and said with a smile: "Will you report to Yu Xi?"
"Assistant Zhong, I find you are quite naive."
Zhong Chen had been holding his breath all night, but now he heard her sarcastic remarks and said, "It's not as childish as you anyway."
Tao Yitong smiled lightly: "We're here, thank you."
Zhong Chen saw that she had come to the neighborhood in front of her fifteen minutes ago, she got angry and said, "Miss Tao, did you do it on purpose?"
Tao Yitong shrugged: "Of course it was on purpose."
Tsk tsk tsk, she finally couldn't help showing her true nature, she said that it was definitely not that simple for her to be able to smile when scolding Tao Yitong a few times before.
Now deliberately digging a hole to let her run a long way, really bad!
Zhong Chen kept silent, blushed, stepped on the brake, and the car stopped. Tao Yitong saw her blushing face and smiled: "Little assistant, I am also an artist in the company, you are just an assistant. Don't you think your attitude is very problematic?"
"What's the problem?" Zhong Chen was still angry: "It's true that I'm a little assistant, but I also know shame and know that there are some things that I can't do."
Tao Yitong smiled: "For example?"
Zhong Chen glared at her: "For example, meddling in other people's feelings!"
Tao Yitong still smiled gently, deliberately annoyed her and said, "What if I want to get involved?"
Zhong Chenqi's chest heaved violently, thinking of Yu Xi's previous grievances, now paired with Tao Yitong's smiling face, it was particularly dazzling, she gritted her teeth: "Then you are shameless!"
"Heh—" Tao Yitong chuckled, opened the car door, and waved to Zhong Chen: "Little assistant, goodbye."
Zhong Chen was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth seeing Tao Yitong's swaying figure, and two minutes later she sent a message to Yu Xi: Xixi, Tao Yitong is too much!
Yu Xi had just gotten on the elevator when she received the news, and saw Zhong Chen chuckle in an exasperated tone, shook her head, and finally looked at Jiang Jingbai next to her.
Jiang Jingbai met her eyes and opened her lips: "What's wrong?"
Yu Xi put the phone in her bag and shook her head: "It's nothing."
"Zhong Chen is very angry at your Miss Tao."
Jiang Jingbai frowned when she heard the words of her Miss Tao, and said: "She is not my Miss Tao."
The elevator door opened, and Yu Xi walked out of the elevator stepping on high heels, with a nonchalant attitude: "Whatever, anyway—"
Jiang Jingbai hadn't gotten off the elevator behind her, so she interrupted, "Yu Xi, she's my younger sister."
Yu Xi's words stopped abruptly, and she turned her head to look at Jiang Jingbai. She wondered if she hadn't woken up just now, or the wine she drank at night had started to play a role, causing her to have auditory hallucinations. She repeated in disbelief: "What did you say? ?”
Jiang Jingbai stepped out of the elevator, walking very slowly. She looked at Yu Xi with clear eyes, and her voice was slightly lower: "I said, Yitong is my sister."
Yuxi: ...
She knows the relationship between Jiang Jingbai and Tao Yitong. When she was in school, she almost found out all Jiang Jingbai's family background. She knew exactly who her relatives were and how many younger siblings she had. When Jiang Jingbai said it was her sister, she froze for a few seconds and asked, "Which sister?"
Jiang Jingbai was silent for a few seconds: "A younger sister in the household registration book."
Yu Xi was even more at a loss: "You and her?"
Jiang Jingbai nodded: "After my father passed away, my mother remarried."
So they are now nominally sisters.
After hearing this, Yu Xi was stunned for a long time before saying a word: "Oh."
Jiang Jingbai watched her move to open the door and shouted, "Yu Xi."
Yu Xi opened the door and turned her head. Seeing that Jiang Jingbai was still looking at her, she blinked and said, "But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, Mr. Jiang, good night."
After she finished speaking and closed the door, Jiang Jingbai looked at her closed door and lowered her head, two words came out from her lips: "Good night."
After returning to the apartment, Yu Xi still hasn't recovered from the shocking news just now.
Not only because of the change in her and Tao Yitong's identities, but also because of what she said just now—after her father passed away.
When did her father die
Yu Xi had met Jiang Jingbai's father, he was a very kind middle-aged man. When she was running after Jiang Jingbai, she also went to her house and approached her with the excuse of asking Jiang Jingbai to help her with tuition.
She vaguely remembered that her parents ran a logistics company, and they usually stayed at home when they were not running orders. She bumped into it a few times when she went there. Her father would always smile and say to her: "The little girl is here again Come to make up lessons?"
With a gentle smile, he looks like a person with a good temper.
At that time, she would call out in a friendly way: "Uncle, you can just call me Yuxi."
"Or small fish."
The man will nod: "Okay, Xiaoyu, this name is very interesting."
Usually, after a few words, Jiang Jingbai would come out of the bedroom and shout, "Yu Xi, come in."
As soon as she heard the call, she stepped in the door.
Yu Xi went into the bathroom and took a shower, then lay on the bed, thinking of Jiang Jingbai's words just now, she sent a message to Zhong Chen: Help me...
Just after sending three words, she deleted them again, and finally closed the phone and forced herself to sleep.
But she had already slept in the car, how could she still be able to sleep now, Yu Xi tossed and turned on the bed, and finally got up after gritting her teeth. She stepped on the blanket in the living room with her bare feet, opened the balcony door, and suddenly a gust of wind hit, and her pajamas stuck to her On her body, her long hair was raised, and she flicked her hair. Before she could reach the balcony, she heard voices coming from her side.
Very low, barely audible.
But she was very sensitive to Jiang Jingbai's voice, if she wanted to hear it, her ears could not control it.
"Mr. Hu, you said you would not interfere with my management rights in the company."
"I will take care of Yuxi's matter."
"Of course there is no need to change."
"..."
Yu Xi stood on the balcony, listening to the clear voice around her, was silent for a few seconds, then turned and went back to the room.
