Together For A Long Time

Chapter 66: Persistence

Views:

After leaving the antique street, there was a milk tea shop. Ji Yunxin remembered that Jian Yan preferred this kind of sweet food, so she asked, "Would you like some milk tea?"

Jian Yan followed her gaze and smiled, "I'll go buy it."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and walked over. A young man came over and walked recklessly, almost bumping into Jian Yan. Ji Yunxin stretched out her hand to grab Jian Yan and avoided the young man. Jian Yan looked up, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Ji Yunxin cleared his throat, looking a little unnatural: "I'll go with you."

Jian Yan was about to say no, but then she thought about the show effect. She smiled faintly and said, "Okay."

The communication between the two is now much less awkward than it was in the morning. Their relationship has become much closer and more intimate, even though Jian Yan is just acting.

"What flavor would you like to drink?"

Jian Yan tilted her head, and suddenly remembered that Ji Yunxin didn't like sweets, but preferred coffee, so she said, "How about coffee?"

"Just drink milk tea." Ji Yunxin said: "Two cups of coconut milk, thank you."

Jian Yan took the milk tea handed to her by the waiter and was silent. She didn't expect Ji Yunxin still remembered her taste.

After buying milk tea, the two of them walked along other branches of the food street for a while. At the end of the road, there was an artist sitting in front of an easel painting. Jian Yan had a natural liking for people with special talents. She walked over and saw that person painting a toddler. A road was full of maple trees, and red maple leaves were scattered randomly on the road. The wind blew up four or five leaves. A little girl in a pink skirt was holding a bottle of milk in one hand and a colorful lollipop in the other. She had pigtails, a round face, and was chubby, which made her particularly cute. Jian Yan looked at her for a few seconds without moving her eyes away. Ji Yunxin tilted her head and saw her soft facial features. She couldn't help but smile.

The time was good, the breeze was pleasant, and the sun shone on them, adding a halo. The two stood on the street together, one looking at the painter, and the other looking at the people next to him. After a long time, the painter finished the painting. He turned around and saw two people standing behind him: "Hello."

Jian Yan smiled: "Hello."

Ji Yunxin also smiled slightly. The painter put the painting aside and asked, "Do you two want to paint too?"

Jian Yan hurriedly shook her head: "No, we just..."

"Draw a picture?" Ji Yunxin looked at his watch: "How long will it take?"

"Speed ​​drawing? Half an hour."

There was still enough time, Ji Yunxin looked at Jian Yan, who shrugged and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to the boss."

This sentence broke the ripple atmosphere, and the two of them laughed. The artist asked them to sit on a stool. Although this was the end of the road, there were not many people coming and going. The other people from the program team followed behind. Ji Han drank milk tea and said, "Is the interrupted recording just now on?"

“It’s recorded.”

"From this point of view, Mr. Ji and Miss Jian are quite a good match."

"Yeah, I was worried that these two weren't a good match, and that the early date for this show was messed up."

"I think the two of them have a great aura match. If this date is released, there will definitely be a lot of CP fans!"

Ji Han was very proud: "That's right, the person I chose, how could it be wrong?"

There was constant flattery around him. Lin Mu stood next to Ji Han. It was he who suggested inviting Jian Yan. At that time, he thought Jian Yan was beautiful and wanted to bring her into the crew so that he could get the best deal by being close to her. Later, he found that beautiful things can be appreciated but there is no need to get them. Of course, the main reason was that he had no chance to talk to Jian Yan at all, let alone being close to her. Now, looking at his boss and Jian Yan standing together, he couldn't help but say with appreciation: They are a perfect match!

After everyone finished chatting, they looked ahead. Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin were sitting on a bench. The painter asked them to come closer. Jian Yan moved a little closer to Ji Yunxin. The painter already knew Jian Yan's identity and knew that they were recording, but he pretended not to know and asked: "Excuse me, what is the relationship between the two of you?"

Before Jian Yan could speak, Ji Yunxin said calmly, "They are in a relationship."

She answered too quickly, and Jian Yan beside her was a little stunned. She looked dumbfounded, very cute. This scene happened to be captured on camera, and the director has already thought about how to edit it.

"Since you two are a couple, can you be a little more intimate?" The painter walked to Ji Yunxin and said, "Miss, there is no need to be so restrained. You can be more casual and put your arm around her."

He then fiddled with Jian Yan's head and said, "You can lean on this lady's shoulder."

The two of them assumed a cuddling posture, and Jian Yan could hardly hold back her laughter, causing several staff members who were watching the camera to burst into laughter as well.

"Jian Yan can't hold it anymore."

"Mr. Ji is quite easy-going. The key is Jian Yan, who is beautiful and cute!"

"They both look so sweet."

Sweet as hell! Jian Yan cursed in her heart a thousand times, but she had to pretend to be sweet and loving with a smile on her face. Her acting skills were fully utilized at this time. The painter stood in front of the easel again and looked at them. Ji Yunxin only felt that the fragrance of Jian Yan spread between her fingertips, which was light and not strong at all. She glanced sideways and saw Jian Yan's white forehead, long eyelashes, straight nose tip, and light pink lips. When she smiled, her lips were red and her teeth were white, which was particularly delicate. She also felt happy and couldn't help rubbing Jian Yan's arm.

Jian Yan noticed her action and looked down. Ji Yunxin's slender fingers were placed on her right arm. Her nails were trimmed and round, and painted with solid-color nail polish, which was faintly shiny. Her five fingers were slender and long. They had known each other for so many years, but the opportunities for close contact were actually very few. Except for that night, she could not remember the last time they hugged each other. Maybe it was in the winter of a certain year when she found a reason to dance with her and took the opportunity to hug her, or maybe it was in the midsummer of a certain year when she pulled her under the pretext of being sick. At that time, an unintentional action of Ji Yunxin would make her think a lot and for a long time, but now the two of them were hugging each other, but she had no distracting thoughts.

"Wait a minute." Ji Yunxin said to the painter, "Can I help her change her hairstyle?"

Jian Yan had a ponytail tied up casually with a leather string, not a complicated hairstyle. The painter looked at her and smiled, "Okay."

Ji Yunxin said to Jian Yan, "Miss Jian, where is the hairpin you just bought?"

Jian Yan took it out of her bag, Ji Yunxin approached her, lowered his head and eyes, put his hands around her ears, tied up her long hair, and then gently poked the hairpin into it, his movements were gentle and soft, just like the pen she gave him that night. Jian Yan raised her eyes and met Ji Yunxin's exquisitely curved chin, right in front of her, perhaps because it was too close, she had no way to avoid it, the faint fragrance coming from her skin overlapped and matched the night in her memory, her eyes fell on Ji Yunxin's lips, no need to think about it, her memory had already filtered it all out for her, she pursed her lips, the tip of her tongue seemed to still have that sweet taste.

Sweet, delicious and extremely tempting.

After Ji Yunxin finished inserting it, he smiled at Jian Yan and said calmly, "It's done."

The short, clear voice was like a stone that landed on Jian Yan's pure heart, causing slight ripples.

The painting time was shorter than expected. In twenty minutes, the painter handed the freshly-made quick drawing to the two people. Ji Yunxin asked, "How much?"

"No money." The painter winked: "It's my honor to paint for two beautiful ladies."

Ji Yunxin glanced at Jian Yan: "Do you like it?"

Jian Yan folded the painting and said to Ji Yunxin: "I'll give this gift to you as a meeting present."

Ji Yunxin nodded: "Okay."

The ending tone was dragged out, adding a sense of compromise for no reason, and listening carefully, there was also doting. Jian Yan didn't meet Ji Yunxin's eyes. She said, "It's getting late. Let's have dinner and then go to the cinema."

Ji Yunxin packed up the painting and followed her. The crew also followed. They had lunch at the food court. There was a big table, and they talked and laughed. After lunch, they went straight to the cinema. It was not too early when they arrived at the cinema. Some people had already gone in. Ji Yunxin went to buy popcorn. When she turned around and asked Jian Yan what she wanted to drink, Jian Yan said, "Coke, please."

"Coke is ice cold." Ji Yunxin lowered her voice and asked, "Can I change it to milk?"

"Can."

After the two of them communicated in a voice that no one behind them could hear, Jian Yan went to the bathroom. Ji Yunxin was waiting for her at the door with the ticket. The movie was selected by the program team. It was in line with the theme of dating, a romance movie, starring Yu Yue. Netizens joked last night that Yu Yue had paid a sponsorship fee and started helping to promote the movie before she even appeared on the screen. Jian Yan lingered in the bathroom for a while. She felt uncomfortable thinking about her abnormal reaction when she was painting just now. She stood by the sink and poured a handful of cold water on her face. She felt sober and when she went back to put on makeup again, the movie was about to start.

This show was not booked, so many people were sitting inside. The movie was about to start, and all the lights were turned off. Ji Yunxin held food in one hand and stretched out the other hand in front of Jian Yan: "Follow me."

Jian Yan stared at her hand for a few seconds and then put it down. The two of them walked hand in hand in front of the screen. Jian Yan turned her head and saw their figures reflected on the screen, especially their hands, which were held tightly and fit together perfectly. Everything in front of her was magnified, along with her senses. She suddenly retracted her hand. Ji Yunxin turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"I just washed my hands, they are still wet. It would be bad if I got you wet." Jian Yan said with a smile: "Let's go, where should we sit?"

Ji Yunxin handed her the ticket: "Behind."

The two found a seat and sat down. The production crew had already sat down. Jian Yan smiled at them and Ji Han also winked: "Sit down, it's about to start."

Jian Yan sat down, Ji Yunxin handed her the drinks and snacks. Jian Yan held the popcorn and thought, the last time she accompanied Ji Yunxin to shopping, she was still thinking that Ji Yunxin had not accompanied her to the movies, but she didn't expect that he would go to the movies with her so soon. The world is really wonderful. The things that she had been thinking about day and night when she got married, were realized one by one after the divorce. It was really unexpected.

At the beginning of the movie, a doll's face popped up. She had several missing front teeth and was grinning at a young boy. Ji Yunxin leaned close to Jian Yan's ear and asked, "Do you like watching this?"

Her breath brushed against Jian Yan's ears, and there was a faint scent of perfume when she got close. Jian Yan held her breath: "It's okay, President Ji, don't you like it?"

"I'm fine too."

Ji Yunxin had read a lot of scripts in the past, but apart from the premiere of the movie invested by Jingyi, she didn’t know much about other movies, especially this kind of purely commercial romance film, which she had hardly ever come across.

The plot of this movie is about two childhood sweethearts who are then separated by a natural disaster or man-made calamity, and they meet again in college. It seems that all love movies like to use a predestined reason: they have known each other for a long time, they are very special to each other, and they have been involved for a long time, and it seems that the love story derived from this is particularly touching. Ji Yunxin looked at the screen and suddenly thought of the first time she met Jian Yan. It often rained during that period, and that day was no exception. It rained heavily. When her grandfather got off the car, there was a little girl following him. The little girl was shouting at her grandfather. She couldn't hear what she was shouting, but she felt that she was particularly excited. Then she pushed her grandfather away and stood alone in the rain. Her grandfather held an umbrella for her, but she refused and took several steps back, as if she would not accept anyone's help. At that time, Jian Yan looked very aloof, like a wounded little wild animal, licking her wounds by herself, not allowing anyone to approach. Her mother ran in and out, her body wet, and her father helped her grandfather into the house.

"This child is too stubborn and won't listen to anything."

Her father said, "I'll try."

She watched her father walk up to Jian Yan holding an umbrella and talking for a long time, but Jian Yan just shook her head and refused to even open the umbrella. She just stood straight in the rain, her thin body being beaten by the wind and rain, but she refused to move an inch. She thought at that time, how could there be such a stubborn person in this world? He has such a stubborn personality.

Later, after she met Jian Yan, she realized that there really are such stubborn people. If she wants to take a path, she will go all the way regardless of the consequences, even if she gets hurt.

But why did she back down from liking herself?

Ji Yunxin looked at Jian Yan. Was it because this road had brought her not only scars but also countless disappointments?

How deeply had she hurt her that such a stubborn person chose to give up?

Ji Yunxin's nose suddenly felt sore and her eyes became hot. She looked at Jian Yan, whose facial features were a little blurry. She sighed softly and looked away.

Jian Yan's eyelids were sore after watching for a while. She was fine after walking all the time, and she didn't want to sleep. As soon as she had some free time, she couldn't resist the sleepiness. However, there was a camera crew behind her, so she didn't dare to sleep no matter how brave she was. But when the sleepiness came, she couldn't resist it. After watching for a few minutes, Jian Yan pinched her waist with her hands. Her posture was awkward, and she accidentally bumped into Ji Yunxin a few times. Ji Yunxin adjusted her disordered breathing, looked at her actions and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yan laughed dryly: "It's okay."

Ji Yunxin noticed her strange behavior and stopped watching the movie. He glanced sideways and saw Jian Yantou nodded twice and quickly sat up straight, then moved her waist and put one hand on her waist. It was unknown what she did, but she frowned slightly. Ji Yunxin immediately grabbed her hand, and Jian Yan raised her eyes.

Ji Yunxin turned to the crew behind him and said, "Let's take a break. There's nothing to shoot here. Let's go outside and shoot again."

The leader has spoken, so why shouldn't others obey? Besides, there is really nothing interesting to shoot in this movie segment, unlike shopping, which is full of variables, so Ji Han patted the director on the shoulder and said, "Turn it off."

The camera behind her turned off, and Jian Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered, "Thank you."

Ji Yunxin said: "No, just sleep for a while if you want to."

It was dark all around and there was no camera behind her, so Jian Yan felt relieved. She leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes. Ji Yunxin supported his chin with his right hand and looked at the screen, but his eyes were always on Jian Yan. She folded her sleeves up to her elbows, revealing her slender wrists, on which she wore a diamond watch, on which the time passed by second by second. After Jian Yan fell asleep, her head moved a little to the right, and Ji Yunxin hurriedly reached out to support the back of her head. She was afraid of waking her up, so she didn't dare to make any big movements and just kept supporting her.

When the movie was about to end, Jian Yan was woken up, and Ji Yunxin retracted his numb arm and said, "Yan Yan, it's almost over."

Jian Yan was a little dazed in her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Yunxin's enlarged face, with red eyes. She didn't say anything. Ji Yunxin said, "Yan Yan."

"Hmm?" The soft voice carried the breath of not sobering up yet. It was rare to see such a docile and soft Jian Yan. Ji Yunxin's heart moved slightly, and she raised her lips: "The movie is over."

Jian Yan patted her cheek and came back to her senses: "Is it over?"

The ending song was playing on the big screen. Ji Yunxin nodded: "Let's go later."

There were so many people, all pushing towards the door, that the two of them decided not to join in the fun. Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin sat there whispering to each other, looking like a young couple on a date. The camera in the back had been turned on, capturing the scene clearly.

After leaving the cinema, several people prepared to go to the night market, which was nearby. After a day of filming, everyone was no longer as restrained towards Ji Yunxin as before. A staff member boldly asked: "Mr. Ji, was that story you told before really made up?"

Ji Yunxin walked beside everyone, but she seemed to be surrounded by stars. Her natural aura could not be suppressed. She was different from others. She nodded: "Yes."

Others smiled and said, "You are amazing. You can tell stories so easily. How come you are so good at telling stories?"

Ji Yunxin thought for a while and glanced at Jian Yan, but saw Jian Yan looking at him too. When their eyes met, Ji Yunxin said silently, "Because I used to tell stories to a friend."

"Friends." Everyone smiled ambiguously: "It must be very important."

Ji Yunxin didn't refute, but smiled with his eyes downcast. Jian Yan beside him changed the subject somewhat unnaturally: "Shall we go to the night market after dinner?"

"Of course we're going to the night market for dinner, Yanyan, you asked a stupid question." Everyone in the crew laughed, and Jian Yan also laughed. Ji Yunxin stood beside her: "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

She seemed to like this more and more quietly touching her and whispering in her ear. Jian Yan always had the illusion that they were whispering in each other's ears. She shook her head: "Whatever, what do you want to eat?"

Ji Han stood beside them and said, "Don't look for a restaurant to eat later. There's not much material for the movie just now. Let's take more pictures at the night market."

"Can we just eat some street food?"

Ji Han said: "You don't have to eat everything. Pick the ones you're interested in. The previous photos were all good. Keep working hard. Once you finish taking photos here, today will be over."

Her eyes sparkled. Jian Yan glanced at Ji Yunxin and gritted her teeth, "Okay."

Ji Yunxin wanted it more than ever, she took Jian Yan's hand again, her fingertips were slightly cold, she used her palm to warm Jian Yan up. There were a lot of people at the night market, Jian Yan was recognized from time to time, there were a bunch of people following her on the roadside, some fans even came directly to ask for her autograph, Ji Han asked the crew members to help stop them, and asked the cameraman to follow behind and film.

Jian Yan has recently been fond of snacks, especially spicy ones, to the point where she cannot live without spicy food. However, Su Ziqi usually restrains herself from eating too much, fearing that she might hurt her stomach. Today, Su Ziqi is not here, and Jian Yan's craving for food has been aroused. She walked to the door of a skewers shop and could not move. Ji Yunxin glanced at her expression and asked, "Do you want to eat this?"

"Mr. Ji, do you want to eat?" Jian Yan turned her head, her expression clearly showing that she wanted to eat.

Ji Yunxin had never eaten at a street stall before. She would never touch these things when she was in school, let alone go to food streets or night markets. This place was like a new world that she had never been to. Now that it was suddenly opened up, she thought it would be okay to eat a little.

"What do you want to eat?" Ji Yunxin took the disposable cup handed to him by the boss and chose from it: "Do you want this one?"

Jian Yan lowered her head, her long hair was all tied up, her swan neck was beautiful and slender, and her skin was white and reflective. When Ji Yunxin asked her, he glanced sideways and saw Jian Yan's indifferent profile. Under the light, it looked very soft, and Ji Yunxin's heartbeat unconsciously slowed down a little, for fear that it would be too intense and scare Jian Yan, even though she was not aware of it.

"This one." Jian Yan selected several: "And this one." After she selected, she looked at Ji Yunxin: "Is it okay?"

Ji Yunxin lowered her head, the cup in her hand felt heavy, and she said, "Of course."

Jian Yan chuckled, her voice clear and just within reach. Ji Yunxin's heartbeat, which had just slowed down, suddenly became chaotic.

After the two of them made their selections, they finished eating at the door of the store. Jian Yan, who had satisfied her cravings a little, was no longer so hungry, so she bought some casually afterwards, mainly for filming materials. Ji Yunxin followed behind her but rarely expressed any opinions, but only glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes, and said to the food that she looked at for a few more times: "I want to eat this."

“And this.”

Jian Yan didn't know when Ji Yunxin started to like street food so much, but she chose what she wanted to eat, so she just accompanied her to eat. It is said that food can bring two people closer together. The two of them ate from the beginning to the end of the street. Jian Yan looked relaxed and happy. Ji Yunxin still had several unfinished snacks in his hands. She tilted her head: "Want to go shopping again?"

Jian Yan said: "It should be OK."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Han, who was talking to the camera crew in the back. Today's filming was over here. Although she still wanted to continue filming, as a CP fan who had been shipping for several years, she was so excited that she finally saw the real person. However, she had to work overtime to edit the video tonight, and it would be released tomorrow afternoon, so there was not much time left for the crew. Although she wanted to, she couldn't be willful, so after Jian Yan asked, she nodded: "Let's stop here today."

Jian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure on her body suddenly eased. Ji Han asked, "Sister Jian Yan, how are you going back? Do you want our crew to take you back?"

"No need, Sister Su is nearby, I'll call her."

"What about my sister?" Ji Han looked at Ji Yunxin: "We are all going back to the company, are you going to the company?"

Ji Yunxin glanced at her and said, "No need. I'll take a taxi back."

Ji Han nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Jian Yan waved to the people from the program team, and finally called Su Ziqi, who was nearby and drove over after receiving the call. After Jian Yan hung up the phone and saw that Ji Yunxin didn't move, she frowned and said, "Mr. Ji, aren't you going to find a car to go back?"

Ji Yunxin's face was calm: "Wait a moment, I'm worried about you waiting for the bus here alone."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yan pursed her lips and remained silent with a complicated expression. As the cold wind blew, she lowered her head and pulled her clothes tightly together.

An eerie silence spread between the two of them. Su Ziqi arrived soon. She saw Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin standing side by side and greeted them, "Yan Yan, President Ji."

Jian Yan opened the back door and got in. Just as she was about to talk to Ji Yunxin outside the car, she saw Ji Yunxin walk to the other door, open it and get in. Jian Yan was surprised: "Mr. Ji?"

Ji Yunxin looked calm and said, "Let's go back together. I'm worried about you being alone in the car."

Jian Yan frowned and tried to hold back the urge to move her toes.

After arriving at the hotel, Jian Yan wanted to go upstairs and Ji Yunxin followed her. Jian Yan rolled her eyes: Mr. Ji?

Ji Yunxin: Let’s get in the elevator together. I’m worried about you taking the elevator alone.

When they arrived at the door, Jian Yan took out the key to open it. Ji Yunxin followed her. Jian Yan could no longer bear it: Mr. Ji?

Ji Yunxin: Let’s sleep together. I’m worried about you sleeping alone.

Jian Yan: Get out!

Ji Yunxin: …
