Jian Yan came out of the examination room with red eyes and watery eyes. Ji Yunxin behind her also had red eyes. It was obvious that the two of them had talked about something. Su Ziqi didn't ask much. She just said to Jian Yan: "Doctor Lu just gave me the report. We can go back now."
"Okay." After saying that, Jian Yan walked towards the elevator first, followed by Ji Yunxin. Su Ziqi looked at the two of them and hesitated for a few seconds before entering the elevator.
Jian Yan leaned on the elevator handrail, she lowered her head and glanced at Ji Yunxin beside her. Ji Yunxin stood straight in light-colored leather shoes, with long legs and a slender waist. She looked at her waist and slowly retracted her gaze, clenching the photo in her hand.
After getting in the car, Su Ziqi asked Ji Yunxin if he wanted to go to the company. Ji Yunxin said calmly: "No, let's go back to the resort."
Su Ziqi drove seriously, and said in the last few seconds: "Okay."
The car left the hospital. The warm sunshine shone through the window onto her body, making her feel indescribably relaxed. Jian Yan leaned back in the car seat and tilted her head to look out the window. Early spring had passed, and the flowers and plants were sprouting new buds, full of vitality. She felt much happier looking at them. It was still a long way from here to the resort, so Jian Yan was ready to take a break. She rested her head on the back of the chair, but before she closed her eyes, she noticed that the back of the chair tilted back, and the entire rear seat was almost flat. She had turned from leaning to lying horizontally. In addition, Jian Yan also found that Ji Yunxin had raised the partition, so the light in the rear seat was much darker, which was very suitable for sleeping. Ji Yunxin put down the tablet in her hand and took out a blanket from under the car seat. She covered Jian Yan with it and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Jian Yan was lying on a pillow with a blanket covering her body. The occasional sunlight came in from the window, making her feel indescribably comfortable. She bit her lip but ultimately did not say "thank you".
There was no sound in the back of the car. Jian Yan was half asleep. Occasionally, when turning a corner, she moved towards Ji Yunxin, little by little, until her entire back rested against the outside of Ji Yunxin's legs. Ji Yunxin tilted his head to look at her from time to time, and saw that her sleeping face was calm, her breathing was gentle, and her eyes were soft. Jian Yan turned over and stretched out her hands under the blanket. Ji Yunxin saw that she was still holding the photo in her hand. She was afraid that Jian Yan would lose it, so she wanted to help her take it down and put it in her bag, but she couldn't pull it open after pulling it twice. Jian Yan held it very tightly, as if she was holding the last straw, and she held it tightly with all her might. Ji Yunxin's eyes instantly turned red. She took a deep breath, and the feeling of heartache went straight from her heart to her mind. Her hands trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't hold the tablet.
Jian Yan slept very deeply and was still asleep when they arrived at the resort. After the car stopped, Su Ziqi looked back and saw only the fender. She walked to the car door in silence and knocked on it: "Mr. Ji."
The car window opened, revealing Ji Yunxin's profile. She turned her head and asked, "Are we there yet?"
Su Ziqi looked inside and said, "We're here. Is Yanyan asleep?"
Ji Yunxin said softly: "Well, you go back first, I'll wake her up later."
Obviously not wanting to disturb her sleep, Su Ziqi chuckled: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, Ji Yunxin wanted to close the car window, but Su Ziqi held back for a few seconds and shouted, "Boss Ji."
The car window was half closed, and Ji Yunxin's sharp eyes were vaguely visible. Su Ziqi asked, "Over at the crew, Mr. He might use Zhao Qing."
Ji Yunxin glanced at Su Ziqi and said nonchalantly, "Then find an opportunity to replace Zhao Qing."
Su Ziqi held the bag in his right hand and said frankly, "But Mr. He is behind her."
Ji Yunxin remained calm and composed: "Then change He Yi."
Su Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and she smiled and said, "Thank you, President Ji."
"No need to thank me." Ji Yunxin's eyes showed the same expression as before, but it gave Su Ziqi the illusion of being very fierce. She paused and continued, "If you want to thank someone, thank Yanyan. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have given you the opportunity to use me."
Su Ziqi's expression changed slightly, she put away her smile, lowered her eyes and said, "You know everything."
After she finished speaking, she laughed self-deprecatingly. It was easy to imagine what kind of person Ji Yunxin was. Usually, she was the only one who schemed against others, and no one dared to scheme against her. Even if her plan was perfect, it would not escape Ji Yunxin's eyes. She thought she was successful in vain. Su Ziqi was silent: "When did you know?"
"I've always known that." Ji Yunxin said, "Miss Su, I'm not saying this to you to blame you for anything."
Su Ziqi looked at Ji Yunxin and heard her clear voice saying, "On the contrary, if you can use me, please don't hesitate and make use of me."
Su Ziqi's heart was slightly disturbed. She looked at Ji Yunxin's profile and asked, "Is it because of Yanyan?"
Ji Yunxin chuckled: "Is it because of you?"
Su Ziqi laughed when she was blocked by her. She said, "Since Mr. Ji said so, I won't be polite in the future."
Ji Yunxin seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with her, and she nodded slightly.
The car window closed and Jian Yan turned over. Although her eyes were not open, the corners of her eyes were already red, as if they were dyed with rouge, and they were gorgeous.
Ji Yunxin sat in the car and made several phone calls, keeping his voice low. Half an hour later, Jian Yan slowly opened her eyes. Ji Yunxin, who had been paying attention to her movements, saw her open her eyes and whispered, "Awake?"
Jian Yan rubbed her eyes: "Yeah."
He didn't ask when he arrived, nor did he ask why he didn't wake her up. There was a small tacit understanding between the two of them. She didn't ask, and Ji Yunxin didn't say much. After getting off the car, Jian Yan received a call from Ji Han, asking her if she had come back. He wanted to shoot a scene in the evening as it was not shot well before. Jian Yan asked Ji Yunxin for her opinion, and she didn't object.
After returning to the apartment, Jian Yan and Ji Yunxin changed their clothes one after another. Since it was a reshoot, they had to wear yesterday's clothes. Ji Yunxin looked at the clean clothes hanging on the balcony and said, "Did you wash them for me?"
Seeing her stunned look, Jian Yan said, "It's not that I'm a ghost."
Ji Yunxin smiled: "I'll come later."
She had never done much housework and seldom did it. She had a personal assistant in the past, and she was only responsible for work and ignored other things. So she often forgot about these things after coming here. It was not the first time that Jian Yan helped her wash clothes, but neither of them mentioned it before. Now that Ji Yunxin said this, Jian Yan looked away and left the balcony with a mutter.
She didn't object.
After receiving this signal, Ji Yunxin stood on the balcony and looked towards the living room. Jian Yan was walking back and forth holding clothes, and finally returned to the house and closed the door. Ji Yunxin felt a bubble of joy in his heart, which was different from all the feelings he had before.
Feelings are really strange things. They can bring people unimaginable sadness and happiness, even if it's just because of a small thing or a word.
Ji Yunxin stood on the balcony holding her clothes for a long time, and she didn't go back to the house until it was dark. At around six or seven in the evening, Ji Han brought other crew members to the apartment. They were busy setting up the scene almost the same as yesterday. Jian Yan held her phone and watched the chat in the group. Today was a day off. Others who had announcements were rushing to catch up, and those who were filming went back to film. The rest who had no announcements and no scenes, such as Luo Jing, stayed in the apartment and didn't go out all day. She saw Jian Yan in the group chat and sent her a message: Are you back
Jian Yan left the group chat and replied to her private message: Yeah.
Luo Jing: How was the audition? Was it a perfect win
Jian Yan subconsciously looked at Ji Yunxin, but she didn't expect that she was also looking at her. Their eyes met and the air seemed to freeze for a moment. Jian Yan looked away and replied with a slightly red face: There is no result yet, I will wait for notification.
This sentence was equivalent to not being selected. Seeing this, Luo Jing did not ask any more questions and instead changed the subject. Jian Yan could still sense Ji Yunxin's eyes on her. She replied absentmindedly. Someone next to her shouted, "Ms. Jian, please move aside."
Jian Yan's wrist was hit and her phone fell to the ground. When she bent down, Ji Yunxin had already bent down to pick it up. On the screen, Luo Jing was still sending her messages, one after another. Although they were all casual chats, when Ji Yunxin looked at her phone screen, Jian Yan still snatched it away.
Somehow, she felt a little guilty.
The scene was quickly set up, and Ji Yunxin and Jian Yan returned to the kitchen, following similar steps as yesterday, but because they had rehearsed it once beforehand, they were much more familiar with it this time. Last night it was Jian Yan who cooked, and Ji Yunxin helped her, and tonight was no exception. Ji Yunxin stood by the shelf, and when she saw Jian Yan enter the kitchen, she picked up the apron next to her. Jian Yan wanted to put it on herself, but Ji Yunxin held up the sides of the apron. Jian Yan looked at Ji Han, and when she saw her nod slightly, she had to put on the apron face to face. There was a rope at the back of the apron, and when Jian Yan was about to reach out to tie it herself, Ji Yunxin had already turned sideways and stood by She came to her side, she put her hands on the thin ropes on both sides, lowered her head close to Jian Yan's neck, Jian Yan held her breath, she could almost feel Ji Yunxin's breath spraying on her neck, the whole scene was very quiet, Jian Yan hypnotized herself to be a professional actor while blushing quietly, Ji Yunxin tied the rope around her neck and then moved to her waist, she looked very serious and meticulous, as if she was doing the most important thing, no one could imagine that she was secretly taking advantage of someone at this moment, and she was in a good mood, even though her face was still serious and solemn.
After tying her skirt, Jian Yan began to pick vegetables. Ji Yunxin beside her helped to wash them. Under the camera, the two of them were busy, just like a newlywed couple. There was no sense of incongruity at all. The director and photographer next to them were filming and talking about their increasing sense of tacit understanding. It was the right decision to push this couple in the first place. Ji Han listened to their chat with an expression of pride. How could it not be right? Compared with other guests, this couple is really married!
In the camera, Jian Yan was cooking, and Ji Yunxin beside her helped from time to time. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the aroma of the food was wafting. The other members of the crew couldn't help but touch their stomachs. They really felt their appetites were aroused and they were hungry.
Jian Yan cooked her usual three dishes and one soup. The soup was pork rib soup cooked in a pressure cooker. It was rich in aroma. The aroma wafted out as soon as it came out of the pot. However, Jian Yan paused at the moment when the pot was opened. The usual aroma was a torture to her at this moment, especially this strong level. What came to her face was not the aroma, but nausea. Jian Yan's expression changed instantly. Ji Yunxin, who was glancing at her from the corner of his eye, stood beside her and completely blocked the camera. She closed the lid. Jian Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to retch. She coughed immediately because she couldn't suppress it. There were two retches along with the cough. Jian Yan's face was pale and there was water in her eyes. Ji Yunxin explained, "Let's cut this part. Miss Jian caught a cold two days ago and hasn't recovered yet. She has a slight cold."
The rest of the crew remembered the perverted incident from the previous two nights, and the director nodded: "Let's reshoot it then."
Jian Yan also felt much better. She said to the director, "Excuse me, I'm going to touch up my makeup."
The director watched her go to the bathroom with a smile. The others sat together discussing what to eat in the evening. Ji Yunxin went back to the room. When he came out, Jian Yan had just walked out of the bathroom. Ji Yunxin walked to her side and stuffed the plum candy in her palm. His movements were so fast that Jian Yan almost didn't react. By the time she realized there was something in her palm, Ji Yunxin had left her side. The crew members not far away were still talking and laughing. Jian Yan lowered her head and saw the plum candy in her palm, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
The reshoots only lasted until the meal was done. After that, the production crew packed up the props and prepared to leave. Ji Han refused to leave. After she asked everyone else to leave, she curled up on the sofa in the apartment. Jian Yan was still cooking the last dish. When Ji Yunxin brought the dishes into the dining room, she saw Ji Han like this. She walked over and said unhappily, "Why aren't you going home yet?"
"There's no food to eat when I go back." Ji Han lied confidently: "Besides, I have something to say to Sister Jian Yan."
Jian Yan heard them chatting and laughed: "What's the matter?"
Ji Han jumped up from the sofa, walked to Jian Yan with a smile and said, "Isn't your birthday this weekend? Grandpa wants to ask if you will go back to celebrate your birthday."
"Aren't we going to record it?"
Ji Han picked at his fingers: "I've seen it, just in time for a break."
Jian Yan nodded slightly: "I'm not sure either, I need to ask Sister Su."
Ji Han pursed his lips when he heard this: "Well, you haven't finished filming Yi Meng yet?"
Jian Yan served her a meal and the three of them sat down, eating and chatting: "Not yet, but there are not many scenes in the back, and Sister Su wants to make up for it during the break."
Su Ziqi's budget is to finish the recording of Honeymoon and A Dream, and then directly join the crew of Against the Light. After filming Against the Light, she can take a break for a while. However, she didn't tell Ji Han, and only said: "So I'm a little busy next, and I may not be able to go back."
"Grandpa is still waiting to celebrate your birthday." Ji Han said, "He always mentions you recently."
Because of the recording of the program, Ji Songlin knew that Ji Han and Jian Yan were together. He would not ask Ji Yunxin actively, so he could only ask Ji Han. That was why Ji Han refused to leave tonight. Jian Yan looked up and said to him, "Grandpa is alone at home with nothing to do. You should go back and accompany him more often."
Ji Yunxin looked up at her when she heard that, and thought about the few times she went back before, it was Jian Yan who accompanied Ji Songlin, but they had never accompanied Ji Songlin to stroll around the garden, play chess, or drink tea, which was quite unfilial.
Ji Han didn't think much and said, "I know."
Jian Yan smiled and continued to eat with her head down. The light shone on the three of them, adding warmth and tranquility. After dinner, Ji Yunxin cleaned up the dishes. Ji Han leaned against Jian Yan as if he had discovered a new world and said, "Sister Jian Yan, am I seeing things? My sister can actually do housework?"
Seeing her exaggerated gesture, Jian Yan shook her head and unconsciously sided with Ji Yunxin: "She knows a lot of things."
Ji Han didn't react at first, but when she thought about it carefully and figured it out, she leaned against Jian Yan and asked, "For example?"
"For example..." Jian Yan tilted her head to look at her, and seeing that she was trying to trick him, she said calmly, "For example, you should go back after you finish eating."
"No." Ji Han said while holding the phone: "It's still early. By the way, Sister Jian Yan, have you watched the behind-the-scenes footage?"
Jian Yan was pulled by her to sit on the sofa, their heads touching. Ji Han turned on the video on his phone and said to Jian Yan, "You and my sister are the most talked about topic right now."
Jian Yan knew a thing or two about this. Maybe it was because she had accumulated a lot of CP fans when she and Ji Yunxin dated, or maybe it was because the program crew deliberately hyped up their CP, so every time the behind-the-scenes footage of her and Ji Yunxin was shown, the barrage would explode, with confessions in a flash. Jian Yan looked at the screen and saw "Jian Shijie and Ji Yuzhou, go for your mom!" "Have you called Jian Shijie and Ji Yuzhou today?" "Sweet love is killing me!" For a moment, she didn't feel second-rate or embarrassed. When she first saw this title, she didn't want to touch her phone for a few days. Ji Han fiddled with the phone for a while and said, "Sister Jian Yan, there are some things I don't know if I should tell you."
Jian Yan tilted her head to look at her: "What?"
Ji Han bit her lip. She turned off the video and reopened the photo gallery. Finally, she flipped out two blurry photos. The scene was very dark, and she could vaguely see a red chair with two people sitting on it. One was lying on the chair and sleeping, and the other was holding the sleeping person's head with his hand. She recognized it at a glance. This was in the cinema. The sleeping person was her, and the person holding her head was Ji Yunxin. She felt strange when she thought of how Ji Yunxin often moved his arms after coming out of the cinema that day. So that's how it was.
Jian Yan remained silent. Ji Han said, "Sister Jian Yan, I accidentally took this photo after I went to the toilet that day."
Falling asleep in the cinema is not suitable as a behind-the-scenes video, but she couldn't bear to delete it, so she kept it. She also thought about showing it to Jian Yan, but she didn't know how far their relationship had progressed. Seeing the two of them getting along tonight, and thinking of what Jian Yan had just said, Ji Han became bolder and took the initiative to talk about it, saying, "Sister Jian Yan, actually you know my sister's personality better than I do. She doesn't like to talk, and sometimes we can't see what she does, so we think she is cold and unkind, but she is not like that. She is quite good."
Jian Yan didn't expect that Ji Han came here specifically to be a lobbyist. She looked at Ji Han's serious explanation and pursed her lips and said, "For example?"
"For example - Sister Jian Yan, do you really want to hear it?" Ji Han's eyes sparkled. Jian Yan smiled: "Aren't you telling me this?"
Ji Han bit his lip: "You figured it out."
Jian Yan lowered her eyes: "Let's talk outside."
She had just finished eating and wanted to go out for a walk, and by the way, get to know the Ji Yunxin she didn't know. Ji Han nodded quickly: "Okay."
Ji Yunxin cleaned up the dishes and turned around to find that no one was around. The living room was empty. She called out in confusion, "Yan Yan?"
"Xiao Han?"
No one responded to her. Ji Yunxin frowned. Jian Yan's phone was still on the coffee table. When she was about to go to Jian Yan's room, she glanced out the window and saw two figures outside. Ji Han was standing next to Jian Yan. The two of them were walking very slowly and seemed to be chatting. Ji Han was gesticulating with an exaggerated expression. Jian Yan looked indifferent beside her with a smile on her lips. She stood by the window and watched for a long time before opening the door and following them.
The night outside was nice. After the early spring, the weather was much warmer. The night wind was not as cold as before, but instead brought bursts of fragrance. Ji Han mumbled a lot and nodded affirmatively: "So, my sister is really dumb and can't talk. She actually does a lot of things."
When Jian Yan heard her say that, she tilted her head and said, "Stupid? Can't you speak?"
She used to think the same about Ji Yunxin, but only recently did she see how powerful Ji Yunxin's talking skills were. It was simply overwhelming. Ji Han nodded seriously: "Yes, my mother said that my sister has been like this since she was a child. She is not close to anyone and doesn't like to chat. She studies all day long."
As soon as she finished speaking, a cell phone rang behind her. Jian Yan and Ji Han turned around, and Ji Yunxin, who was not far behind them, was looking up at them. There was a rare unnatural look on her face. Ji Han raised his eyebrows and smiled, but Jian Yan said nothing. Ji Yunxin took two steps back and gestured that he would answer the phone.
When Ji Han saw her pick up the phone, he whispered, "Sister Jian Yan, see, I told you my sister would definitely be worried and come with me. She really loves you now."
Jian Yan glanced at her, and Ji Han raised his hands in surrender: "Then you all go back together, I'll go back to the apartment first."
"Yeah." Jian Yan nodded lightly: "Good night."
After Ji Han left, Jian Yan sat on the bench and watched Ji Yunxin who was answering the phone not far away. They were not far away, and she could still hear Ji Yunxin's voice and vaguely heard He Yi's name. Jian Yan then thought of the words she heard in the car, and she felt complicated for a moment. The bench was facing the flower bed, and Jian Yan put her hands on her knees and fiddled with the flower buds.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ji Yunxin didn't know when she had finished the call. She walked to Jian Yan's side. There was a flower garden nearby. The air was filled with the scent of unknown flowers. It was very fragrant. Jian Yan paused while fiddling with the flower buds. She turned to look at Ji Yunxin and whispered, "I'm wondering what kind of flower this is."
Under the streetlight, half of her face was blocked by shadows, and the other half was delicate and beautiful, especially her eyes, which were bright and shining. Ji Yunxin put the phone back into her pocket, half squatted down, stared at the flowers, and shook her head for a while: "I don't know either."
Jian Yan stared at the flower bud and said, "Just now Ji Han praised you as knowing everything."
Thinking that this was indeed what Ji Han said, Ji Yunxin touched the corner of her eyes and said, "It's getting late, we should go back and rest."
Jian Yan paused as she fiddled with the flower bud, pursed her lips for a long time before saying, "Can I ask you something?"
Ji Yunxin didn't reply to her immediately but said, "In exchange for the same price, after you finish asking, can I also ask you a question?"
Jian Yan looked down at her. It was pitch black all around, with dim street lights. The inconspicuous light fell on Ji Yunxin, illuminating her expression inexplicably. Jian Yan thought for a few seconds and said, "Okay."
Ji Yunxin nodded: "Ask."
She was still half-crouching, so that she was not as tall as Jian Yan. She raised her head slightly while speaking, and Jian Yan lowered her head. Their eyes met. Warm wind blew around them, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Jian Yan asked, "Did Sister Su give you the new script?"
Ji Yunxin didn't hesitate at all, she nodded: "Yes."
Jian Yan continued: "So what are you going to do?"
Ji Yunxin said calmly, "That depends on what He Yi chooses."
"What if He Yi doesn't choose me?"
Ji Yunxin replied: "Then change He Yi."
Such a simple sentence, but how much work and financial resources are needed behind it, Jian Yan must know it, her nose felt sore and she looked away: "Didn't Mr. Ji say that he never does business at a loss?"
Ji Yunxin nodded: "In principle, I never do business at a loss."
Jian Yan looked at her steadily: "What is Mr. Ji doing now?"
Ji Yunxin looked at her straight in the eye: "But you are outside the principles."
The wind blew, messing up Jian Yan's heartbeat. She looked calm, but her hands tightly grasped the root of the flower bud, with such force that she almost broke the root. After Ji Yunxin finished speaking, she still looked up: "Can I ask my question now?"
Jian Yan lowered her eyes, took back her hand, and whispered, "Ask."
Ji Yunxin stood up and sat next to her, and asked in a puzzled tone: "When you liked me before, did you ever think of kissing me?"
Jian Yan was petrified instantly. She froze in place. After a few seconds, she turned around and asked in surprise: "What did you say?"
Ji Yunxin's expression remained the same as before: "I said, when you liked me before, did you ever think of kissing me?"
"You—" Jian Yan didn't expect Ji Yunxin to repeat it so seriously. She felt hot all of a sudden and her pretty face flushed. Fortunately, it was dark around her and she couldn't see her expression clearly. Jian Yan saw that Ji Yunxin was still waiting for her answer, so she held her breath and said, "Why do you ask that?"
"I just want to ask how you restrained yourself." Ji Yunxin sat a little closer to her, and the distance between them shortened. Jian Yan turned her head, and Ji Yunxin's voice exploded in her ears: "I really want to kiss you now."
The author has something to say: Thirty random little red envelopes, congratulations to Mr. Ji on his perfect transformation, you will be Ji Tiantian from now on.
Ji Yunxin: My wife praised me today, I was happy.
Jian Yan: When did I praise you
Ji Yunxin: You praised my powerful talking skills, which made you unable to resist, but I can be even more powerful.
Jian Yan: When
Ji Yunxin: When I was in bed.
