Chapter 144 She misses him
"You've lost weight," Ning Yi's soft voice rang out.
Ji Yan stared at her on the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You've lost a little weight. Let me see you."
Ning Yi held her phone properly and sat up straight in front of the camera: "I haven't lost weight!"
What did you eat tonight?
A hint of tenderness flashed in Ji Yan's eyes before he replied, "Rice, shredded pork, romaine lettuce, and lettuce."
Ning Yi frowned slightly, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes: "I bet you're starving right now, aren't you?"
"They don't eat much, and they're so busy every day."
Being a celebrity is not something just anyone can do.
Ji Yan replied, "It's alright, just hang in there. It'll get better after this period."
"By the way, it's my mom's birthday at the end of next month. Would you like to come home with me and celebrate her birthday together?"
Ning Yi nodded: "Okay, Auntie gave me a lot of gifts, I should reciprocate."
"Aunt An gave me a bracelet a few days ago. It's so pretty! She said she saw it while traveling and thought it was beautiful and suitable for her, so she bought it."
Ji Yan shifted his position, leaning against the bed, and said, "My mom loves to travel when she has free time. Do you have any places you'd like to go? I'll go with you when I have time."
Ning Yi shook her head: "I'm fine. I heard from Yunxia that there might be an international Jinhua Cup music competition held in China around October this year. She said it's a very prestigious competition, and I'm thinking of preparing to give it a try."
"I heard that if you achieve good results in that competition, you'll also have the opportunity to participate in the Pace International Art and Music Competition in France early next year."
Ji Yan pondered for a moment: "Okay, I'll support whatever you do."
Ning Yi glanced at his hair and quickly said, "Your hair is still wet. Go dry it quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
Ji Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
He then got up, found a suitable place to put his phone, and then went to get a hairdryer to dry his hair.
Ning Yi saw the man on her phone standing in front of the bedside table, holding a hairdryer in one hand and constantly grabbing strands of hair with the other while drying his hair.
He was wearing his pajamas, and his well-defined hand swayed back and forth; it looked really good.
The thought of not seeing him for so long makes me want to reach through the screen and hug him.
As Ning thought about these things, her nose inexplicably felt a little sore. Just a few days ago, she had seen Li Man's WeChat Moments post, which contained photos and videos of her and Yan Sijing going to escape the summer heat.
The two were very sweet together. They could go on dates together on weekends during school and go out together during holidays. Ning Yi couldn't deny that she was indeed very envious of them.
As Ning Yi pondered these thoughts, her eyes reddened slightly. Just as she was lost in thought, she noticed that the sound of the hairdryer on the other end of the screen had stopped. Ji Yan put the hairdryer away and then went over to pick up his phone.
The boy's hair wasn't long, so a quick blow-dry was enough. When he picked up his phone, he saw Ning Yi looking aggrieved and with a somewhat dazed expression.
Ji Yan couldn't help but frown, his heart tightening. Looking at her like this, he didn't know what had happened for a moment.
"Xiaoyi?" Ji Yan called out to her in a somewhat hurried voice.
Ning Yi snapped out of her daze and saw that Ji Yan had stopped drying his hair and was looking at her nervously.
"Ah... are you done blowing?" Ning Yi replied.
Ji Yan stared intently at her, then asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Ning Yi pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, you should go back to bed and lie down. We can chat for a little longer, but then you should go to sleep."
She doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong.
Ji Yan's expression was somewhat serious: "Xiao Yi, tell me what's wrong? I can tell you're unhappy."
Ning Yi bit her lip, paused for two seconds, and then said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I haven't seen you in a long time, and I really wanted to spend time with you."
Ji Yan knew that Ning Yi missed him, and a feeling of guilt welled up in his heart.
He looked at her with heartache, his voice soft: "I'm sorry I made you suffer. I'll definitely come back to be with you as soon as possible."
"Don't be sad, okay?"
Ning Yi nodded: "Okay, I understand. Am I being a bit dramatic?"
"No, it proves that you care about me and miss me. That makes me very happy. That's the normal feeling of a girlfriend. When you're in a relationship, you hope that you can be together often," Ji Yan replied.
He did indeed owe Ning Yi something in this regard. He had considered this when they were about to get together, so he would definitely work harder to nurture this relationship.
Ning Yi felt somewhat comforted, and then softly said to him, "Okay, go to bed quickly, it's very late. You got up so early and finished work so late today, you must be very tired."
"Go to sleep. When you're done with your work, I'll cook you a big meal."
Ji Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
Afterwards, Ji Yan went back to bed and lay down, turning his face to the side as he continued to stare at the camera.
Ning Yi lay down on the bed, still holding her phone in one hand, and said to Ji Yan on the other end, "Close your eyes quickly."
Ji Yan said to her, "Okay, goodnight, Xiaoyi."
Ning Yi smiled slightly: "Goodnight, Ayan."
When Ji Yan woke up the next day, Ning Yi was still sleeping on the other end of the phone. Ning Yi had changed from lying on her side to lying flat. He looked at the girl on the other end with her eyes closed, her eyelashes long and curled, her body rising and falling slightly with her breathing.
Ji Yan couldn't help but smile.
He watched for a long time, then finally hung up the video, and got up to wash up.
It's only a little past eight in the morning. Ji Yan is used to waking up early, so she didn't sleep in and woke up naturally. Ning Yi is on vacation, so it's only right that she sleeps in.
After washing up, he had breakfast delivered from the hotel. After eating, he glanced at his phone and saw that she was still asleep, so Ji Yan sat on the balcony and put his laptop on the table to work.
He received several emails from the studio, inquiring about several film and television projects.
He has always worked in movies. Besides the fact that his company wanted to create a persona for him, he also preferred to take on movies. He wanted to create some sparks in the film industry before considering TV series, and there weren't any good TV series scripts available before.
Of the scripts he received this time, he was quite satisfied with two of them. One was a movie, a youth campus romance, and they wanted him to play the second male lead, a common trope where the second male lead likes the female lead but she doesn't like him.
The other script is for a TV series, which is an urban romance. They want to invite him to play the male lead. The male lead in this script is also a celebrity, and the female lead is a member of the public relations department of the male lead's company, responsible for handling some of the male lead's related trivial matters. The two develop feelings for each other over time.
The characters are all quite likable, and the plot is pretty good too. He's quite hesitant because he's never done a TV series before, but he's really interested in this role as the male lead. The movie script also has a great character design, and the director is considered to be a pioneer in making youth campus films.
That director made a campus youth film a few years ago, which is still considered by netizens as the "ceiling of campus youth films" and had a high box office. Even though it has been four or five years, many netizens still watch it repeatedly.
