Just then, Lu Ji received a call on his mobile phone. Half an hour later, he hung up the phone, stared at Lin Jiayu's two sentences, and smiled self-deprecatingly. He didn't expect that someone like Jiang Tu would also introduce blind dates to others.
He slowly stopped smiling, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while.
Since Jiang Tu came back, he has been in more contact with Lin Jiayu. After "Waiting for the Stars" was exposed last year, he knew that Lin Jiayu liked him in high school. She usually sent him messages and red envelopes, and he accepted them.
He knew that Lin Jiayu still had feelings for him, but he didn't refuse. There was an inexplicable feeling between the two of them.
If there is a girl in this world who can make him be his most authentic and relaxed self, it must be Lin Jiayu.
He had no burden in front of her, no need to pretend, even the worst side of him could be seen by her without fear. To him, Lin Jiayu was different from other girls, she was a little more special than others.
Lu Ji didn’t know what kind of feeling this was. Do you like it
Maybe... not enough.
But he didn't want to introduce her to any blind dates, nor did he like her bringing up the topic, and he didn't like her overly free and easy personality. Lu Ji frowned, thought for a while, and replied.
After Lin Jiayu got off the plane, she saw the message that Lu Ji had sent her more than an hour ago.
Lu Ji: "Impossible."
When Lin Jiayu saw this answer, she was suddenly very happy. She couldn't help laughing and sent him a little sun emoji. She asked again, "Why?"
Lu Ji was probably busy, and Lin Jiayu only received his message after she took a taxi from the airport and returned home.
Lu Ji: “Not very happy.”
Lin Jiayu was stunned. She sat on the bed and bit her lip before slowly replying, "Why?"
Lu Ji: "Lin Jiayu, are you asking a hundred thousand whys?"
Lin Jiayu: “…”
She looked at the three words, her heartbeat quickened, she was a little excited. She was not a little girl anymore, she was 27 years old, and she was a romance novel writer, she knew what she was doing, and she also knew what some words meant.
Lu Ji...does he like her a little bit too
At least, not completely insensitive.
She has always believed that some love is better to come late than early, just like Jiang Tu and Zhu Xingyao.
The right time, the right person.
Lin Jiayu felt that she was very suitable for Lu Ji. She also did not think that "suitability" was inferior in love. Some couples, no matter how much they loved each other, would not be suitable for each other and things would change one day.
What's more, she and Lu Ji are more than just a good match.
After that day, the two of them contacted each other more frequently, and it was no longer just Lin Jiayu who contacted unilaterally. Lu Ji took the initiative to send WeChat messages to Lin Jiayu more often, even more times than Lin Jiayu had sent WeChat messages to him before.
On October 1st, Lu Ji was reading "Embrace the Moon" on the plane back to Jiangcheng. He bought this book in a bookstore last night. In fact, he seldom read these romance novels and watched movies, as he found them boring.
Lin Jiayu's books are typical romance novels, the kind that girls like. He would never have read them in the past, but during this period, he read two of them in a row. The first one was "Waiting for the Stars", all because of Lin Jiayu.
Lu Ji read most of the book on the plane, and spent more than an hour at night to finish the rest. If Lu Ji had mixed feelings when reading Waiting for the Stars, then when reading Embracing the Moon, his heart was only touched.
Lu Ji didn't expect that he was so slow in high school. Lin Jiayu had been sitting next to him for two years and had liked him for so long, but he didn't even know it. He leaned back in his chair, tilted his neck to look at the ceiling, and said to himself: "It's really interesting. I wonder if everyone has unspeakable secrets?"
He tried to recall the seventeen-year-old Lin Jiayu. That girl had a bad temper and was prone to sulking. Sometimes she liked to go against him. Sometimes she was a little stupid and her mind was sometimes stuck when doing math papers. When she was angry, she didn't need to be coaxed. She would recover naturally. When she got better, she would shamelessly bring him exercises to teach him...
Summary: Very flexible, forgetful, does not bear grudges, and very realistic.
Very cute too.
As Lu Ji thought about it, he suddenly laughed out loud.
Recently, Lin Jiayu has been staying in the crew, which is at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School. She filmed a night scene tonight and did not return home until 11 o'clock in the evening. It was almost twelve o'clock when she took a shower and lay down on the bed.
Lu Ji hadn't sent her a message all day. Lin Jiayu didn't know if he was busy, or... Did he suddenly give up after flirting with her because he felt they weren't suitable? That didn't make sense. Last night they were talking about Xu Xiangyang's proposal.
She didn't want to message him actively, so she decided to wait until 12 o'clock and go to bed if there was no message.
Finally, at 11:58, when I was drowsy, I finally received his message.
Lu Ji: "The prototype of the male protagonist in "Embrace the Moon" is me?"
Lin Jiayu woke up instantly and sat up straight on the bed. What was wrong with this guy? Was he addicted to her book? She held her chin, feeling a little worried. Finally, she replied: "You think too much. You are just the second male lead in "Waiting for the Stars". Where did the male lead come from?"
Lu Ji: "I won't ask you for money, just tell the truth."
Lin Jiayu: “No.”
Lu Ji: "Tsk, Lin Jiayu, why didn't I realize you were so stubborn before?"
Lin Jiayu: "…There are still many things you don't know!"
Lu Ji thought about it and agreed.
There are many things he doesn't know.
Lu Ji: "Let's have dinner together tomorrow?"
Lin Jiayu: "The crew is preparing to shoot a major scene these days, I can't leave."
Lu Ji was silent. The highlight should be the Starry Lights. He stood up and said, "Then go to bed early. See you in two days."
Lu Ji: "Good night."
Lin Jiayu flipped forward and saw that their chat last night ended with him saying "good night". Unconsciously, they had become the ones who said good night to each other before going to bed.
What does this mean? It means that she might be the last woman he thinks of before going to bed.
Lin Jiayu couldn't help but ask: "Lu Ji, will you chat with other women later?"
Lu Ji: “…”
He frowned, lowered his head and sent a voice message: "Lin Jiayu, what woman am I chatting with in the middle of the night?"
Lin Jiayu listened to his voice message three times before slowly throwing three words at him: "Flirting."
Lu Ji snorted and laughed, and replied: "No."
Lin Jiayu replied happily: "Good night [moon]."
She tacitly acknowledged that the prototype of "Embrace the Moon" was him.
The next day, Lu's mother came to persuade Lu Ji to go on a blind date again, praising the girl all the time, but Lu Ji had an expression of "I'm not interested". Not long after being discharged from the hospital, Mr. Lu leaned on the recliner and said slowly: "Don't persuade him, he is so handsome, there are many girls who like him, are you still worried that he can't find a girlfriend?"
Mother Lu was annoyed: "There were quite a lot of girls in high school. There were always girls coming to our house. What about now? Where are you? It's been a long time since a girl came to our house... And you know about his affairs. I'm just worried about him. He's almost 28."
Lu Ji smiled: "Mom, don't go to high school anymore."
Mother Lu realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "Well, don't mention it, then you should find me a daughter-in-law."
Lu Ji paused and looked at her: "What do you want your daughter-in-law to be like?"
"Of course she's pretty and well-behaved."
"What is considered beautiful?"
"You have to see it to know. There are many kinds of beautiful girls. Some are stunning, some are delicate, and some are long-lasting..."
"Too."
Lu Ji's mind flashed back to Lin Jiayu's face. The girl was pretty and attractive. He looked down at his friends circle and said, "Mom, don't arrange any blind dates for me. I can find a girlfriend myself. I'm almost 30 years old, and I still want you to worry about these things. It's a joke to tell others."
Mother Lu: “…”
"Yeah, don't worry about it, it depends on fate." Mr. Lu said with a smile, "I think that Xiao Lin is good, Xiao Ji, does she have a boyfriend?"
Lu Ji paused and said, "No." There were no recent photos of Lin Jiayu in her circle of friends. He quickly scrolled down and found a few photos from half a year ago, but... they were group photos with Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi.
Continue scrolling down.
Mother Lu asked: "Which Xiaolin?"
Mr. Lu: "It's the one who wrote the novel. His female classmate in high school. Didn't she like him at that time? I think that girl is good, insightful, smart, sensible, and talented..."
"She's a pretty girl. I saw her photo on her Weibo a few days ago." Mother Lu underestimated her. "But she is good friends with... with Xingxing. This..." She glanced at Lu Ji, and hesitated to speak.
Lu Ji paused. There were photos on Weibo? Because of the uproar on Weibo, he hadn't been on Weibo for a long time, and he hadn't checked Lin Jiayu's Weibo.
He logged into Weibo and found that she had indeed posted a photo with her readers on Weibo, which was the day they had dinner together in Beijing.
Lu Ji sent a WeChat message to Lin Jiayu: "Send me a photo of you."
Lin Jiayu: “?”
The crew had just finished a scene. She sat behind the monitor, biting her milk tea straw, and slowly replied: "What do you want my photo for?"
Lu Ji: "Take a look."
Lin Jiayu: “…”
She thought for a moment and asked mischievously, "Oh? Then what type do you want? Flirtatious and charming or pure and innocent?"
Lu Ji: "Charming and charming?"
Lu Ji: "Lin Jiayu, you are not that type, just send me a normal one."
Lin Jiayu: “…”
She thought about it, lowered her head, flipped through a selfie, and sent it to him.
Lu Ji clicked on the photo and looked at it for a few seconds, then held the screen in front of Lu's mother and asked with a smile, "Mom, how about this? If you think it's okay, I'll go after you."
