Chapter 80 A Secret Meeting?
Ji Yan was somewhat puzzled.
"Miss Lin, is there anything I can help you with?" Ji Yan asked.
Lin Yiqi smiled faintly and said, "Didn't I tell you, you can just call me Yiqi?"
Yes, I did mention it. A few days ago, this woman would often share with him what interesting things she saw on Weibo and ask him what he liked to eat and what he liked to do.
He couldn't help but reply, "Miss Lin, are you very free?"
Lin Yiqi didn't think anything of it at all, and even told him to call her Yiqi.
"Shall we talk in private?" Lin Yiqi looked around; there were still people there.
Ji Yan didn't want to say much to her, since it was outside of work hours.
Just as he was about to speak, Lin Yiqi continued, "Isn't Teacher Ji afraid that people will see us together and start spreading rumors?"
Ji Yan frowned and had no choice but to walk aside with her.
"Miss Lin, please speak quickly, it's quite late now," Ji Yan said coldly.
Lin Yiqi raised her lips and looked at Ji Yan: "Teacher Ji, have you ever thought about collaborating with me?"
"Cooperation?" Ji Yan asked, puzzled.
Lin Yiqi nodded: "Yes, you know that neither you nor I are super famous right now."
"And don't you want to increase the exposure of this movie?"
Ji Yan narrowed his eyes. He understood the implication: Lin Yiqi simply wanted to create something with him.
Lin Yiqi tossed her hair: "Want to create a scandal with me?"
She had thought it over, and Ji Yan was the best candidate.
Ji Yan already has some popularity and a good reputation. He's also good-looking, and so far he hasn't had any scandals. It would be perfect for me to create hype with him.
Furthermore, she could leverage Ji Yan's recent transition to acting to make him willing to collaborate with her, and given her established position in the entertainment industry, she thought it would be difficult for Ji Yan to refuse.
Ji Yan said indifferently, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin may have the wrong person."
"I never engage in hype."
Lin Yiqi was somewhat surprised: "Isn't it too early for Teacher Ji to say this? You can go back and think about it carefully."
"This will bring you considerable benefits."
Ji Yan said calmly, "I don't need to create scandals. Singing and acting are just my hobbies. I only want to let my talent speak for itself. I don't want to get involved in anything else."
"Miss Lin, please make yourself at home. I'll be leaving now."
Then Ji Yan turned and left.
Lin Yiqi was a little confused, and then a little angry. She didn't expect Ji Yan to refuse so decisively.
In the entertainment industry, how many people aren't driven by fame and fortune? How many don't care about exposure and popularity?
Lin Yiqi was so angry she almost laughed. She wanted to see just how popular Ji Yan could become with his so-called talent.
……
The day before the Lunar New Year, Ji Yan returned to the neighboring city overnight after finishing work.
The next morning, Ningyi and her friends started decorating their rooms at home early in the morning.
Because you can't sleep in during the Lunar New Year, everyone gets up at six o'clock to eat glutinous rice balls, and then we all put up "Fu" (good fortune) and couplets together, and hang many red lanterns at the door.
Ning Anyuan went out early in the morning to pick up Lu Yuzhu. Lu Yuzhu's leg has recovered quite well in the past two days, but she still can't walk on her own.
Before the Lunar New Year, Ning Yi and Ning Anyuan had already discussed inviting Lu Yuzhu to spend the holiday with them. After all, Lu Yuzhu was alone in a neighboring city, and she didn't want to go back to spend the New Year with her father, so they naturally wouldn't let her stay in the hospital alone.
Then Ning Yi also greeted Gu Ai and the others, so Ning Anyuan went out early to pick up Lu Yuzhu.
A moment later, there was a commotion at the door, and Ning Anyuan pushed Lu Yuzhu, who was in a wheelchair, into the house.
"Sister Yuzhu" Ning Yi walked towards them with a smile.
"Happy New Year, Xiaoyi," Lu Yuzhu smiled at her.
Gu Ai arrived shortly afterward.
Lu Yuzhu greeted Gu Ai politely, "Hello, Auntie, Happy New Year!"
"This must be An Yuan's college classmate. Is your leg feeling better?"
"Are your legs cold? Auntie will get you a blanket," Gu Ai asked with concern, then turned around to get a blanket.
"No need, no need, Auntie, I'm fine," Lu Yuzhu said quickly, a little embarrassed.
Then Gu Ai brought a blanket and gently covered Lu Yuzhu's legs with it.
Gu Ai smiled and said, "It's alright, child. They've told me about your situation. Just make yourself at home here and have a good New Year with us this year."
Lu Yuzhu was touched: "Thank you so much, Auntie. You've gone to so much trouble."
"What are you still standing there for? An Yuan, hurry up and push Yu Zhu inside," Gu Ai said after looking at Ning An Yuan.
Everyone took good care of Lu Yuzhu. Grandma Ning even personally brought Lu Yuzhu a bowl of glutinous rice balls for her to eat while they were hot.
Because there are more members of the Ning family this Lunar New Year, everyone decided to have dinner at the Ning residence.
Everyone started working in the kitchen very early on. Because of the Chinese New Year, Aunt Lin was given a holiday, and Ning Anyuan was also called over to help.
Ning Yi sat on the sofa and chatted with Lu Yuzhu.
Just then, Ji Yan sent a message: We're on our way now, what are you doing?
Ningyi: I'm sitting on the sofa, chatting with Sister Yuzhu.
Ning Yi: It's that Yu Zhu sister I told you about last time, she's my brother's college friend.
Ning Yi and Ji Yan had talked about their relationship before. After all, Ji Yan and Ning Anyuan were not in the same university, so he had never met Lu Yuzhu. He only knew that Ning Anyuan had liked a girl before.
A short while later, Ji Yan and his parents came in carrying large and small bags.
"Old Ning, we're here," Ji Shaoliang said with a smile.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly," Ning Jian said cheerfully as he walked over.
"Happy New Year!" An Hui said to them.
Ji Yan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Ning, Happy New Year."
Ning Jian went over to help them take the gifts from their hands.
"Since you're already here, why bring so many gifts? We're not strangers anymore," Gu Ai said as she walked over from the side.
Seeing Gu Ai, Ji Yan continued, "Happy New Year, Aunt Gu."
Gu Aixi smiled broadly: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year to everyone!"
Then Ning Yi came up to help carry the things and greeted them.
When Ning Yi passed by Ji Yan, the two exchanged a tacit glance.
Ji Yan then went to the kitchen to help out, and not long after, the Cheng family arrived.
While everyone was chatting together, Ji Yan took out his phone and sent a message to Ning Yi.
Ji Yan: Shall we meet secretly later?
Ning Yi saw that the message was from Ji Yan, glanced in his direction, and then noticed that Ji Yan was also looking at her, pointing to his phone.
Ning Yi picked up her phone, saw his message, and replied: Where should we meet?
Ji Yan: In the courtyard?
Ningyi: Yes
Then Ji Yan told An Hui that something had fallen into the car and he needed to get it, and then he went out the door.
Two minutes after Ji Yan left, Ning Yi followed him out.
Just as she was about to walk out the door, she looked back to see if anyone was watching her, and then continued walking out.
When she got to the courtyard, she didn't see Ji Yan.
Just as Ning Yi was wondering, she felt herself fall into a warm embrace.
Ji Yan reached out from behind and hugged Ning Yi.
Ning Yi was somewhat surprised: "When did you sneak up behind me?"
Ji Yan chuckled softly, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I'll wait for you there after I get my things."
Ji Yan lowered his head and kissed her ear.
Then Ji Yan released Ning Yi, who turned around and asked curiously, "What was that?"
Ji Yan raised an eyebrow: "Guess?"
Ning Yi's eyes lit up: "A gift for me?"
Ji Yan reached out and gently pinched her nose, then said, "You guessed right."
Happy New Year, Xiaoyi!
