Su Ziqi walked out of the hotel. The snow had almost melted. The weather was gradually getting warmer. The breeze on her body was not as cold as before. She gathered her clothes and walked into the supermarket next to the hotel. Winter nights were bound to be crowded. This place was near the hotel, and people passed by Su Ziqi in groups of three or four. She walked to the cigarette counter and looked down for a few times. She chose a brand she often used and smoked two packs of cigarettes. When she passed the milk powder counter, she thought of Jian Yan's thin body. After thinking for a while, she took two cans of nutritious milk powder from the counter. There were not many people at the checkout counter. The salespersons stood together and chatted. Su Ziqi put her things on the counter and heard the beeping sound of the scanner. She was about to look down for her wallet, but she couldn't find it in her pockets on both sides. She sighed helplessly. Just as she picked up her phone, someone said in her ear: "Pay together."
A pair of hands reached out first, handing over a pack of cigarettes. The waiter took it without hesitation and paid the bill for them together. Su Ziqi saw the hands and her body stiffened. She didn't turn around, but said to herself, "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
"Forget it, it's your turn." The person behind them spoke in a light voice mixed with indifference. The waiter put them in a bag and said with a smile: "Welcome to come again next time."
Su Ziqi took the bag, Yu Yue took out a pack of cigarettes from it, and the two walked out of the supermarket together.
"Why are you here?" Su Ziqi still didn't turn around. Yu Yue stood behind her and saw that she was becoming more and more slender. She had lost a lot of weight and her chin was pointed. She didn't take good care of herself. Yu Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "Filming."
There is a film and television city nearby, as well as several hotels. Yu Yue had just finished filming and came back from the film and television city. When she entered the supermarket, she saw Su Ziqi. She followed Su Ziqi until they finished buying things. That person was always alert and could sense the presence of paparazzi immediately, but now she had followed him for a long time without him noticing. In the past three years, her alertness has decreased a lot.
Su Ziqi nodded: "Thank you for what I did just now. I'll transfer the money to you."
There were people coming and going, Yu Yue stood under the tree until the shade covered her, then she said, "No need."
She opened the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and lit it skillfully. In the darkness, Su Ziqi heard a click beside her, the sound of a lighter. She turned her head and saw Yu Yue's eyes sparkling under the dark shadow. She had taken off her mask and was smoking. Su Ziqi frowned: "When did you learn to smoke?"
Yu Yue exhaled smoke: "When you left."
Su Ziqi pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "You shouldn't smoke outside. There are a lot of paparazzi here, and you will be photographed."
"What?" Yu Yue took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled. She looked at Su Ziqi and said, "Are you concerned about me?"
Su Ziqi gritted his teeth and said nothing. Yu Yue took two more puffs and said, "Why did you leave? Didn't you say that this circle is dirty and you won't come in again?"
Su Ziqi's face was tense. She was holding a bag in her hand. The cold wind blew and the bag made a crackling sound. Yu Yue didn't wait for a reply and asked, "Now everyone knows how to take care of their health. Have they started drinking milk powder?"
Or, buying it for someone else
The tentative words did not receive the expected response, so Su Ziqi said: "It's getting late, I should go back."
"Don't you want to chat?" Yu Yue took a puff of cigarette, her eyes reddened, and her voice was a little low: "It's been three years, and you don't have anything to say to me?"
Su Ziqi stood where he was: "Yueyue."
"I have something to tell you." Yu Yue threw away the cigarette butt, walked up to Su Ziqi and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Su Ziqi stood still, her back straight, she put the things in her hands behind her back, and said in a calm tone: "Yu Yue, isn't it appropriate for us to talk about this topic now? Besides, we are outside, you shouldn't-"
"Shouldn't what? I shouldn't meet you, I shouldn't talk to you, I should keep my distance, right?" Yu Yue looked at her coldly: "Su Ziqi, we have kept this distance for three years, isn't that enough?"
Su Ziqi pursed his lips: "Yu Yue."
"Let's find a place to talk." Yu Yue looked up at her: "I also want to know why you came back again."
Su Ziqi glanced at his watch, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I'll make a call first."
Jian Yan was still sitting on the bed with the quilt in her arms, waiting for Su Ziqi to come back. Today's events seemed like a dream to her and she was in a daze. She still felt a sense of unreality. The ringing of the cell phone broke her thoughts. She lowered her head and took the phone from the bedside table.
"Sister Su."
There was a whistling sound from Su Ziqi's end. She said, "I will be back later. If you are hungry, there are noodles in the kitchen. I will bring you dinner later."
Jian Yan heard this and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I can go downstairs to eat."
Su Ziqi frowned and said, "Don't go downstairs if you have nothing to do. Mr. Ji said that the person has not been found yet. It is not 100% safe yet."
Jian Yan was silent when she heard President Ji: "Sister Su, are you still in touch with Ji Yunxin?"
Su Ziqi did not hide it from her: "Yes, Yanyan, I won't interfere too much in your relationship, but I won't take credit for it if it's not my credit. President Ji is investigating this matter, and she will inform us if there is any news."
"I don't want the police to know the news and cause a commotion."
Jian Yan pinched the corner of the quilt: "Well, I understand."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body and film well. Now that you have a choice, be positive and strong. Do you understand?"
Jian Yan nodded solemnly: "Understood, received. Thank you for your concern."
Su Ziqi heard her witty words and shook his head: "Hang up."
After Jian Yan hung up the phone, she stretched. Su Ziqi was right. Since she had made the decision, she had to face it positively. No matter whether the result was good or bad, she had to keep a good attitude. At least - at least she had to let the child know that she was looking forward to her coming out.
Jian Yan lowered her head, touched her belly, and smiled.
The lights in the living room were not turned off, and the garbage was not cleared before Su Ziqi left. She first put the instant noodle box on the coffee table into the trash can. After cleaning up, she saw that Su Ziqi's screen was on. It was a promotion for the 30-day honeymoon. She saw that there were people arguing under the official Weibo: Yu Yue and Jian Yan are a perfect match, so just pair them up, they are both equally despicable!
Yu Yue and Jian Yan were locked up, and the key was swallowed by Su Ziqi!
I feel unhappy when I see Yu Yue now. What’s the point of attracting fans
All the words I said on behalf of Yu Yue to curse are now coming back upon me. I am stupid, I am blind, I am an idiot!
Yu Yue is not what you said. Can you please stop believing everything you hear? A bunch of black fans are celebrating. When did she ever say that she hated Jian Yan? When did she say that she and Jian Yan were irreconcilable? You are all talking nonsense. You have to let Yu Yue take the blame for you. You are really vicious and stupid!
Jian Yan stared at the comment for a long time before looking at Su Ziqi's ID name. It was indeed her small account. She said that she didn't follow it anymore and didn't care anymore. Time will heal everything. In fact, she was just following it secretly. Jian Yan didn't touch her computer. She just closed it and put it aside.
She was indeed a little hungry. She hadn't eaten anything this morning and went to sleep when she came back in the afternoon. She didn't wake up until now and her stomach was already rumbling. Jian Yan walked into the kitchen. In addition to bucket noodles, there were also instant noodles and some other fast foods, but no fresh ingredients. She casually cooked some noodles and poured a cup of warm water. When everything was ready and she returned to the coffee table, her cell phone screen lit up. It was a message from Ji Yunxin.
—Have you had dinner
Ji Yunxin was sitting in the car. She had wanted to send this message since she was about to go back to the hotel, but she didn't have the courage to send it until the car drove into the garage. She didn't know how Jian Yan would react when she saw it. Ji Yunxin felt nervous and her heart was beating fast.
Will I reply to her? If I reply to her, she should say something else? Ask her if we can have dinner together? Isn't it too fast? Will she be unhappy
Ji Yunxin rehearsed in his mind the reaction that Jian Yan would give after replying, but ten minutes later he realized that there was another answer: Jian Yan would not reply.
Didn’t you see it
Just as she was trying to find an excuse for Jian Yan, she saw Ji Han sending a notice in the group: All staff, the opening recording will start at 9am the day after tomorrow, and gather at Changlong Garden at 8:30am. Please reply if you receive any.
Han Xiaodong: Got it. The recording is finally going to start. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time. Which pretty lady among you would like to be my partner
Zhao Qingqing: You are dreaming, you and money are a perfect match!
Jiang Yiru: Got it. I’ve freed up time a long time ago.
Xia Yun: Hello everyone, I’m honored to be here!
Jian Yan: Got it, I will arrive as promised.
Ji Yunxin stared at the last name and felt a little depressed. It turned out that it was not because his phone was not with him, but because he did not want to reply to her. But isn't this as it should be? She had sent text messages for three years, but she did not reply to any of them. Why should Jian Yan reply to every message she sent? Ji Yunxin explained the reason to herself, but she was still depressed. She understood how Jian Yan felt before.
What a jerk she is.
Ji Yunxin cursed herself inwardly and got off the car. She walked towards the elevator in her high heels. After entering the elevator, she did not go directly to the top floor, but pressed the button for the floor where the crew was located. She got off the elevator and stood at the empty corridor entrance, looking inside.
Jian Yan was still cultivating relationships and chatting with other people in the group. They were all of similar age and had been chatting for almost two months. They were very familiar with each other and naturally were not so cautious when talking. Zhao Qingqing and Jiang Yiru were talking about cosmetics. While they were chatting, they tagged Jian Yan and asked her if she had taken on the advertisement for hiu shower gel.
Jian Yan finished her noodle soup, looked at the screen, fiddled with her phone and replied: No, what's wrong
Jiang Yiru: My friends in the industry said so. Let me tell you, Director Yu who shot the commercial for hiu is a pervert. He likes to take advantage of women, especially female artists. You'd better be more careful if you shoot for them next time.
Jian Yan indeed hasn't completely accepted it yet. These are all being negotiated by Su Ziqi. She said that the hiu advertisement could be signed before the New Year, but it is still under negotiation and it is not certain whether it will be signed or not. But Jiang Yiruo means well. Jian Yan replied: Okay, thank you Sister Yiruo.
Jiang Yirou: It’s okay, we are all teammates, and it’s what we should do.
After hearing this, Zhao Qingqing and Qian Cheng pulled Jiang Yiru away to chat about gossip. Just as Jian Yan was about to put down her phone, she heard a message alert tone. Another message came in. She clicked it and saw it was from Director Gu.
—Jian Yan, are you free now? You had a car accident today and the show schedule has been changed. Come over and I will talk to you about the schedule.
Jian Yan took a look and replied quickly: Yes, please wait a moment.
She put down her dishes and returned to her room to change her clothes. She put on some light makeup before opening the door. There was a person standing outside the door, with his hand raised, ready to knock on the door. Jian Yan was slightly startled when she saw her, and said silently, "Mr. Ji?"
Ji Yunxin looked a little unnatural: "Why did you come out?"
Jian Yan held the phone and said, "Director Gu wants to talk to me about something."
Ji Yunxin immediately said: "I'll go with you?"
Jian Yan pulled the corner of her mouth, avoiding the question, and said, "Forget it."
Ji Yunxin didn't force it and nodded: "I just came to see how you are."
"Very good, thank you for your concern, Mr. Ji, but I wonder if you can stop coming to see me so often in the future. There are so many people in the crew here, and it's easy for them to gossip."
Ji Yunxin was a little embarrassed when she heard her say that, but couldn't think of a reason to refute, so she said, "Then can I come over occasionally?"
Jian Yan turned her back to her and rolled her eyes.
Doesn't this guy understand what I mean
She clearly said, don't come over here!
Unfortunately, Ji Yunxin didn't understand, or she didn't want to understand. She stood behind Jian Yan and walked all the way to Director Gu's door. Jian Yan turned around helplessly: "Boss Ji, you really don't have to follow me, and don't come to see me, even occasionally."
Ji Yunxin felt a little aggrieved: "You used to visit me occasionally."
Jian Yan said unhappily: "Then you didn't see me either?"
Ji Yunxin shook his hand: "Then you don't have to see me."
Are you crazy? It's gone, why are you still looking for it? Can't you just use your free time to work
Ji Yunxin was very persistent about the answer and was determined to get it clear. Jian Yan shook her head helplessly and said to her, "I'll go find Director Gu first."
As she spoke, she put her hand on the door handle and pressed it lightly, and the door opened. Director Gu must have known she was coming and didn't lock the door. She didn't say another word to Ji Yunxin and pushed the door open and went in.
"Director Gu."
Jian Yan took two steps inside and didn't see anyone. The door behind her closed with a click. She frowned and looked inside.
"Director Gu?"
There was a splashing sound from the bathroom, and Jian Yan stood at the door: "Are you in there?"
There was no response from inside and Jian Yan couldn't push the door open to go in. She guessed that Director Gu was taking a shower, so she simply took two steps back and sat on the sofa. The layout of this room was the same as hers, both were small and she could see everything clearly. Director Gu had good living habits and everything was tidy in order. Jian Yan remembered that he had a mild obsession with cleanliness, so she didn't dare to move. She just sat on the sofa. The sound of water could still be heard from the bathroom, accompanied by a faint fragrance, not strong, lingering under the tip of her nose, a smell she had never smelled before.
A few minutes later, she looked at her watch, and her vision was a little blurry. The numbers on it were blurred. Jian Yan realized something was wrong and she stood up immediately. She felt dizzy and weak. She took a deep breath and her vision became even more dizzy. It was this fragrance! Jian Yan responded and covered her nose, but it was difficult for her to even raise her hand. The door was just a few steps away from her, but she could hardly move at all.
Ji Yunxin was waiting outside the door. She hadn't given up yet even though Jian Yan hadn't given her a confirmation reply. She wanted to wait for Jian Yan to come out and have a good talk with her, but she didn't hear anything after almost ten minutes since she went in.
Do we need to talk that long
Ji Yunxin frowned as someone passed by her: "Boss Ji?"
Ji Yunxin tilted her head and recognized that this person was Director Gu's assistant. Her expression returned to calm and she said calmly, "Yeah."
The assistant rarely saw Ji Yunxin and hurriedly asked, "Boss Ji, are you looking for Director Gu?"
Nonsense, she was standing at Director Gu's door. Why didn't she look for Director Gu? She looked for him. The assistant knew that he had asked a stupid question. He said awkwardly, "I'll knock on the door for you."
"Don't..." Before Ji Yunxin finished speaking, the assistant had already volunteered to knock on the door. There was a crisp knock on the door, but there was no movement from inside. Ji Yunxin's eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter. The assistant also asked in surprise: "Is Director Gu not here?"
Impossible, she watched Jian Yan go in, there is no way she is not here, unless -
Ji Yunxin turned around and asked: "Do you have a door card?"
The assistant was frightened by her sudden sharpness and was stunned for a few seconds before nodding: "Yes, yes."
As an assistant, she naturally had a door card. Ji Yunxin looked at her sharply and said, "Open the door."
The assistant handed her the card. Ji Yunxin swiped the card and opened the door. When she looked up, she saw Jian Yan lying on the shoe cabinet. She seemed to have no strength and was looking outside the door with a look of help. Ji Yunxin's heart skipped a beat when she saw that look. She immediately pushed the door open and walked in. Behind Jian Yan stood a woman in a windbreaker, wearing a mask and a hat. When she saw Ji Yunxin coming in, her face changed drastically. She immediately threw the towel in her hand on Jian Yan, pulled Jian Yan and threw it directly to Ji Yunxin, and prepared to escape from her side. Ji Yunxin stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, but he didn't expect that the woman took out a fruit knife with a cold glow in her right hand. She gestured in the air, and Ji Yunxin subconsciously retracted her hand. The assistant outside the door was already scared to death when she saw this scene. Ji Yunxin shouted, "Why don't you catch them!"
This sentence woke up the assistant, and he immediately ran out after the woman!
Ji Yunxin hugged Jian Yan and tried to help her sit down. Jian Yan said weakly, "Get out."
"Take a break first?"
Jian Yan said firmly: "Get out."
She had no strength to speak, and her steps were shaky when she walked. Seeing this, Ji Yunxin pulled Jian Yan's hands around her neck and held her sideways. She was wearing high heels, which made it inconvenient to hold someone. Her heels hurt when she walked. Ji Yunxin paused for a few seconds, then took off her high heels and held them in her hands, and continued to hold Jian Yan towards her room. Her face was tense, and her expression was more tense and serious than before. Jian Yan's breathing gradually became normal, and she became more conscious. She said to Ji Yunxin, "Director Gu..."
Director Gu didn't know what was going on. She didn't see anyone just now. Ji Yunxin lowered her head and said, "I'll take you back to your room first."
She carried Jian Yan back to the room. When she went out again, Director Gu's assistant had already returned. He lowered his head and said, "We didn't catch anyone."
The man seemed to be very familiar with the hotel. He was so confused after a few turns that he had no choice but to come back. Ji Yunxin nodded and said, "Go in and see how Director Gu is doing."
Director Gu was knocked unconscious but was not injured. After waking up, he said that someone pretending to be a waiter knocked on the door and he opened it without any precautions. He could not remember what happened after that.
Ji Yunxin's face darkened when he heard his words. Director Gu had already asked his assistant to leave. Only he, Jian Yan, and Ji Yunxin were left in Jian Yan's room. He asked, "Who on earth is this?"
"Boss Ji, why are you here too?"
Jian Yan glanced at Ji Yunxin, as if she was worried that she would talk about her own affairs. Ji Yunxin understood and explained, "I came to you to ask about the later investment."
Director Gu nodded and moved his neck: "I have called the police. Jian Yan, are you okay? Who is this person? What does he want to do?"
No one responded to his muttering. Jian Yan looked at Ji Yunxin, still feeling a little scared. Although she didn't know if her guess was correct, she thought that if an artist was in the director's room and two more indecent photos were secretly taken, she would really have no way to explain it. First there was the rumor of being kept by a mistress, and then there were these photos. Those black fans and netizens who didn't know the truth would definitely scold her to death. Jian Yan shook hands nervously, and Ji Yunxin's jaw tightened when he saw her pale face.
Director Gu did not return to his room. He stayed in another room after the police came to question him. Jian Yan was also questioned as usual. She had nothing to hide and explained the whole story clearly. The police saw that she looked uneasy and comforted her repeatedly: "Miss Jian, it's okay, we will catch the person as soon as possible, don't worry."
Jian Yan nodded, her face slightly pale. Ji Yunxin patted her on the shoulder and followed the police out. Jian Yan sat alone in the room, still a little absent-minded. She thought for a while and called Su Ziqi.
"Sister Su."
The voice on the other end of the line was not Su Ziqi's. Yu Yue asked, "Jian Yan?"
Jian Yan moved her phone away, thinking she had called the wrong number. When she saw Su Ziqi's name, she asked, "Is Sister Su with you?"
"She went to the bathroom. What happened?"
Jian Yan didn't want to disturb them, so she said, "It's okay. I want to ask her about the advertisement. We can talk when she is free."
She hung up the phone, holding the phone in both hands, with an uncertain look on her face. After Ji Yunxin sent the police away, he returned to her room and saw that she was a little tense and her face was pale. Ji Yunxin shouted, "Yan Yan."
Jian Yan raised her head. The redness around her eyes had not completely disappeared. It was particularly dazzling on her fair skin. Ji Yunxin asked, "Where is Miss Su?"
"She went out for something."
Ji Yunxin was silent for a few seconds, walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, and said in a gentle tone: "Are you still afraid?"
Jian Yan held the phone in both hands and nodded silently.
She really didn't expect that man to be so bold as to touch Director Gu and even come up with such a dirty idea. Jian Yan didn't dare to think about what would happen if she got caught today. She was scared. Ji Yunxin had just informed the police and provided clues. There should be results soon. She sat beside Jian Yan, held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
"I'll leave after Miss Su comes back."
Jian Yan glanced at her sideways and pursed her lips: "Thank you."
Ji Yunxin loosened his clenched hands: "Do you want to take a break? Or should I watch TV with you?"
Jian Yan actually had no desire to watch TV, but she also didn't want to go back to her room alone. The crystal chandelier in the living room was emitting warm light. She curled up on the sofa and said, "Then let's watch TV for a while."
Ji Yunxin turned on the TV and asked, "What do you want to watch?"
Jian Yan was silent for a moment: "Whatever."
Ji Yunxin picked a movie channel, and the two of them sat on the sofa, one curled up and the other sat upright with a serious look. The volume of the TV was turned very low, and the figures in the TV were swaying. Jian Yan hugged her legs and rested her head on her knees.
Time passed by minute by minute. Ji Yunxin turned to look at Jian Yan from time to time. Seeing that she went from watching TV with bright eyes to being drowsy, she called out, "Jian Yan."
Jian Yan replied confusedly: "Hmm?"
Ji Yunxin said: "Shall I take you back to your room to rest?"
Jian Yan blinked and regained some energy. She almost fell asleep just now. She asked, "What time is it?"
"It's half past nine." Ji Yunxin said, "It's getting late. I'll take you inside to rest."
It was indeed late. She would have gone to bed at this time normally. Recently, she was getting more and more sleepy, probably because of her pregnancy. Although she had just experienced something like that, her instinct was still strong. Jian Yan couldn't resist the sleepiness that came over her. She said to Ji Yunxin, "Then I'll go to the room and rest first. You..."
Ji Yunxin said: "I'll wait for Miss Su to come back."
Jian Yan had a complicated feeling in her heart. She looked at Ji Yunxin, but finally went back to her room without saying anything.
She was so sleepy outside just now, but now she tossed and turned in her room and couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of what happened in Director Gu's room, which scared her so much that she broke into cold sweats. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then Ji Yunxin's voice came: "Yan Yan."
Jian Yan got up from the bed, opened the door, and looked up. Ji Yunxin in front of her was wearing a light blue shirt and small suit pants, and disposable slippers. She no longer looked dignified and untouchable in the company. Now her temperament was much gentler, giving Jian Yan the illusion of returning to the past. She heard Ji Yunxin ask, "Can you sleep?"
Jian Yan pursed her lips, and before she could speak, Ji Yunxin said, "If you can't sleep, I'll tell you a story."
The author has something to say: Thirty random red envelopes, muah.
Ji Yunxin: Can you sleep? If you can’t, I’ll tell you a story.
Jian Yan: I can sleep well, thank you, please leave quickly.
Ji Yunxin: I’m asking Xiao Hanhan.
Jian Yan: …
