Jian Yan's winning of the award did not attract much attention in country J. However, every time she went to rehearsal, someone would congratulate her, which she gladly accepted. When she contacted Yu Yue, she found out that there was a bigger commotion in the country. However, she was in a hurry to attend to the finals and had no time to care about these trivial matters.
All participants will have closed rehearsals for one week before the finals.
Ji Yunxin originally wanted to discuss the wedding date with Jian Yan, but she put it on hold when she saw how busy she was. Every day, apart from going to work at the office, she would come back to play with Jian Nian. When she delegated power to the general manager and only handled important matters, she felt that her work was so easy. In the past, she only wanted to work hard, work hard to make money, work hard, and work hard to bring Jingyi and the branch to a better level. But after being with Jian Yan, she suddenly felt how boring her previous days were.
Fortunately, she now has not only sunshine, but also flowers.
At 7:30 in the evening, after eating dinner, Ji Yunxin held Jian Nian in her arms and sat next to the TV. Jian Nian could speak clearly and could express some simple words. When she saw Jian Yan appear on the TV, she excitedly shouted, "Mom! Mom!"
Jian Nian was particularly excited after not seeing Jian Yan for a week.
Ji Yunxin turned around and saw that she was trying to crawl towards the TV. Jian Nian didn't like learning to walk very much, she especially liked crawling along the floor. There were several times when she opened the door at night and saw Jian Nian crawling to the door. When the door opened, Jian Nian looked up and smiled at her. She had no teeth, only bare tooth roots. She had to pick her up from the ground.
"Mom!" Jian Nian's shout interrupted Ji Yunxin's thoughts. She stood up and walked to the blanket. After sitting down, she hugged Jian Nian who was about to crawl out of the blanket and taught her, "You can't crawl out of the blanket. Do you hear me?"
Jian Nian was held in her arms and twisted a few times. Ji Yunxin didn't let go. She cried unhappily, her voice loud. Ji Yunxin frowned slightly and heard Du Yan ask, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Why is Nian Nian crying?" Du Yan looked at Ji Yunxin suspiciously: "Did you hit her?"
Ji Yunxin let go of Jian Nian: "Of course not."
Jian Nian saw Du Yan crying even louder, it was heartbreaking. Du Yan was so distressed that she quickly took Jian Nian from Ji Yunxin's arms and said softly, "Nian Nian, good boy, did your mother hit you?"
Jian Nian looked at Ji Yunxin, her mouth curled, her eyes full of tears. She had understood what was said and nodded. Du Yan asked with concern, "Where did he hit you?"
"Butt." Jian Nian said in a crying voice: "Butt."
Du Yan suppressed her laughter. Jian Nian and Ji Yunxin seemed to be born with different temperaments. They would start crying within half an hour of being together. Of course, she knew that Ji Yunxin would not hit a child, but it was also funny that Jian Nian always seriously "framed" her. She picked up Jian Nian and said, "Can you go cook with grandma? Mom is bad, we don't want to be with her."
Jian Nian burst into laughter and hugged Du Yan's neck. Ji Yunxin watched the old and the child leave with his head aching. The TV was on, showing the final of an acting competition. Jian Yan was standing on the other side. On the stage stood Ma Ya. Ji Yunxin had heard from Jian Yan that she was very strong and a rare talent. Ji Yunxin had also seen her performance. Unlike Jian Yan who had skills, she was more spiritual. Spiritual energy was very elusive and could only be seen with the eyes and felt with the heart. Ji Yunxin remembered that after Jian Yan's first film was successful, many seniors praised her for her spiritual energy. But when she returned to the screen after three years of retirement, that spiritual energy was no longer visible.
It is undeniable that Ma Ya has aura, at least for now, so it is hard for Jian Yan to say who will win the championship in this final. She has been worried about failure this time and has asked herself. Ji Yunxin thinks that if she stands from a businessman's perspective, she will definitely sign Ma Ya and support her. After all, youth is capital, and she is still full of aura. It is too easy to dig out the value from her. Compared with her, Jian Yan's conditions are a little inferior, but fortunately she has acting skills to support her, and this program is an acting PK, so it is possible that either Jian Yan or Ma Ya will win in the end.
After three rounds of competition on TV ended, Ji Yunxin closed her notebook and looked at the screen seriously. Everyone was standing on the stage waiting for the results to be announced. Her eyes fell on Jian Yan, with her arms folded across her chest and a gentle expression. The host's voice came from the TV. She was obviously stunned when she saw the list, and then she smiled.
A voice came from the kitchen, and Du Yan shouted, "Yun Xin!"
Ji Yunxin stood up without taking his eyes off the screen. The host announced the result after a long pause.
The names of Maya and Jian Yan were heard in the huge living room.
Ji Yunxin retracted his gaze and walked towards the kitchen.
When Jian Yan came back in the evening, she saw a sumptuous dinner on the table. In fact, she had already had a small gathering with the program crew, but when she got home and saw that Ji Yunxin and Du Yan had worked so hard to prepare so much, she forced herself to eat some more. Jian Nian has been relying on her since she came back, hugging, embracing and kissing her, as if he wanted to make up for what he didn't get in the week.
Jian Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She kissed Jian Nian's pink lips and finally asked, "When will Mom be back?"
Her wedding date with Ji Yunxin is approaching, and Du Yan also has to go back to Country H to notify and make preparations. She originally wanted to take Jian Nian back with her, but Jian Yan said that there would be nothing to do after the finals, so she could stay at home to take care of Jian Nian. Only then did Du Yan give up the idea of taking Jian Nian back.
"We're leaving tomorrow." They were now traveling back and forth by private plane, so they had more free time. Jian Yan nodded: "Have you packed all your things?"
"It's packed." Du Yan said, "If you're bored staying at home, you can take Nian Nian out for a walk."
Jian Yan nodded: "I know."
Du Yan looked at Jian Nian with some reluctance. After the child was born, Jian Yan was busy with rehearsals and programs. She and Ji Yunxin almost raised her. She had never been away for more than three days. This time she would be away for at least a month. She was really reluctant to let her go.
After dinner, Du Yan took Jian Nian to take a bath, and finally sent the little baby to the bed of Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin. Jian Nian was a little timid and couldn't fall asleep alone, so she usually accompanied him. Now she was leaving, so she let Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin adapt to taking care of the child and rest in advance. Jian Yan put Jian Nian on the bed, and as soon as she put him down, Jian Nian crawled along the sheets and stood at the head of the bed, jumping around, and looking at Jian Yan from time to time. Jian Yan was applying skin care products. She was wearing a light white nightgown, silk, not very transparent, but very slim, knee-length, and her calves were long and straight under the skirt.
When Ji Yunxin walked out of the bathroom, she saw Jian Yan walking barefoot on the carpet. Her white toes were so cute. She couldn't help but think of the way these toes curled up. Jian Yan saw her coming out and said, "Nian Nian will sleep with us tonight."
Ji Yunxin then looked up at the bed. Jian Nian was standing at the head of the bed, jumping up and down. Her hair was tied up in a bun and stood up in the air. Her face, which had lost its baby fat, was flushed. Perhaps it was because she had just taken a bath, her face was very rosy, which made her eyes look particularly dark and bright. She nodded: "Yeah, okay."
Jian Yan walked around the room, packing their clothes. She said, "Go to bed and tell her a story first."
Ji Yunxin sat on the bedside. Jian Nian looked at her with some confusion in her eyes, then looked at Jian Yan. Jian Yan smiled faintly, walked over, picked up Jian Nian and said, "Niannian, can you sleep with your mother tonight?"
Jian Nian hugged her neck and whispered, "Mommy, hold me."
"Okay, mommy will hold you." Jian Yan's voice was extremely doting and gentle, and her eyes fell on Jian Nian with indescribable tenderness. Ji Yunxin sat aside and watched the mother and daughter communicate, and her heart instantly felt like it was wrapped in candied fruit, sweet and warm.
"Let me tell her a story." Jian Yan laid Jian Nian flat on the bed and covered her with a thin quilt. Ji Yunxin did not object. She got up and sat in front of the dressing table to apply skin care products. From time to time, she saw Jian Yan's sideways body in the mirror, with her graceful curves.
Jian Yan's stories were all taught by Ji Yunxin. They were not complicated, and there were only a few of them. However, Jian Nian was very interested. She was different from Jian Yan. When Ji Yunxin told stories, she would become more and more energetic and even giggle. When Jian Yan told stories, she would just feel sleepy. Jian Nian's eyelids drooped together, and she looked very sleepy. Jian Yan gathered the quilt for her and kissed her forehead: "Go to sleep."
The room gradually became quiet. Before Jian Yan could get up, she was hugged from behind. She laughed, "What's wrong?"
"I want to hug you." Ji Yunxin was very straightforward. She asked, "Are you asleep?"
Jian Yan lowered her eyes. Du Yan cut Jian Nian's bangs and gave her long eyelashes. Her face was no longer pink and her skin was white. Jian Nian in front of her looked like a baby in a painting, very beautiful. She said in a low voice, "Well, I'm asleep."
Hearing these two words, Ji Yunxin's hand fell on Jian Yan's waist. She lifted the hem of Jian Yan's clothes with her fingertips. Jian Yan turned her head and saw Ji Yunxin looking at her with burning eyes. She took the initiative to put her arms around Ji Yunxin's neck and kissed her lips. She hadn't been home for almost a week because of the rehearsal. Usually, she could only hear Ji Yunxin's voice on the phone. She had missed her so much for a long time. Now when she met Ji Yunxin, she immediately clung to him tenderly. Ji Yunxin was afraid that she would wake up the child, so he carried her out of bed. There were thick blankets on both sides of the bed, beige long-haired blankets, and Ji Yunxin put Jian Yan on them. The blankets submerged Jian Yan's skin and had a furry touch. Jian Yan looked straight at Ji Yunxin, her eyes slightly red, and the mole at the corner of her eye was also stained with red, which was particularly attractive. Ji Yunxin lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye, and his other hand had already spread into her clothes.
A faint sound was heard in the room. Jian Yan put her arms around Ji Yunxin's neck, half hanging on her. Ji Yunxin's lips went from the corner of her eye to the tip of her nose, and finally fell on her lips. His soft lips were full of fragrance and sweetness. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a week, so they couldn't hold back and began to demand from each other unscrupulously. Just as Ji Yunxin was about to let go of Jian Yan, her cheek was held instead. Jian Yan deepened the kiss.
As the two were kissing passionately, a voice came from the bed: "Grandma."
Jian Yan was obviously stunned. She immediately pushed Ji Yunxin away. Ji Yunxin was half-kneeling on the ground. When she pushed him like that, he fell backwards and sat on the blanket with his buttocks. It didn't hurt much, but his chest felt cold.
Jian Nian looked around on the bed, but she didn't see anyone. She was about to cry: "Grandma."
Jian Yan hurriedly climbed onto the bed and coaxed her: "Nian Nian."
The bedside lamp was dim, and Jian Nian's hair was disheveled and her clothes were in disarray. She was busy tidying up her long hair and buttoning up her clothes. After she was done, she sat next to Jian Nian and shouted, "Be good, Nian Nian, mom is here."
Jian Nian stopped sobbing when she heard the familiar voice. She looked at Jian Yan and took the initiative to extend her hand: "Hold me."
Jian Yan hugged her, Ji Yunxin rubbed her butt and stood up, Jian Yan looked at her with some apology.
After coaxing Jian Nian to sleep again, Ji Yunxin did nothing else. She just sat next to Jian Yan and heard Jian Yan apologize in a soft voice: "I'm sorry."
"Does your butt still hurt?"
Ji Yunxin felt her face slightly hot when she asked this question. She didn't say anything. Jian Yan propped herself up with her elbows and leaned against Ji Yunxin and kissed the corner of her lips. She imitated how she coaxed Jian Nian and said, "Be good, be obedient, and don't be angry."
Seeing her like this, Ji Yunxin's heart softened. How could she be angry? She hugged Jian Yan fiercely and kissed her for a few minutes. She let go after she was out of breath and said at the end: "Go to bed early."
Before Jian Yan responded, she heard a message alert on her phone. She glanced at Ji Yunxin, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and a message appeared on the screen.
Seeing that she looked a little confused, Ji Yunxin asked, "What's the matter?"
Jian Yan looked up at Ji Yunxin and asked, "Are you busy next?"
Ji Yunxin didn't know how she mentioned him, so he answered truthfully: "Not very busy, what's wrong?"
"There's news from the production team." Jian Yan held up her phone: "They want me to join the crew."
She bit her lip when she said this. After Jian Nian was born, she would accompany her except for the rehearsal time, but it was still very short. She couldn't even go home half a month before and after each competition, so she wanted to take advantage of this time to accompany Jian Nian. Besides, she also wanted to hold the wedding with Ji Yunxin during this time, but now everything has changed. The program group sent a message, hoping that she would join the crew as soon as possible.
Ji Yunxin looked at her in such an awkward state and touched her cheek: "It's okay, Yanyan, you still have a long time for me and Nian Nian. Now I hope you can do what you want to do and don't have any worries."
Jian Yan's nose felt sore when she heard that. Her eyes became warm and she said in a slightly lower voice, "Yun Xin."
Ji Yunxin looked into her watery eyes and smiled faintly. She reached out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Jian Yan's eyes and her gaze softened. However, Jian Yan was more proactive than before. She hugged Ji Yunxin's waist and buried her whole face in her arms. Ji Yunxin had not fastened her belt yet, so Jian Yan rubbed her face twice and Ji Yunxin's nightgown fell apart, revealing half of her soft skin and a rouge-red spot.
