My Wealthy Ex-Girlfriend Knelt and Begged Me to Come Back [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 43.2
Before Ji Jiayu could respond, Lin Qiaoxuan looked at the trouble-making young man coldly and scoffed lightly, “If you think it’s cruel, you don’t have to eat it. You can eat some clay to mourn it.”
Ji Jiayu finished washing her hands, pulled out a tissue, and slowly wiped her fingers. “Or you can bury the fish bones after we’ve finished eating the meat.”
The guests began their hearty farmhouse meal.
[I really didn’t expect Ji Jiayu to not only be able to climb a tree but also to cook. Her stir-fried noodles look so fragrant, and the fried rice too. Ji Jiayu really knows how to cook. It looks very flavorful.]
[Unbelievable. Watching Jiayu eat the fish so deliciously, hahaha…]
[Jiayu flies slowly, and Mom and Dad will always follow.]
…
[How can someone like A Yang exist? He does nothing and only tells others what to do… I’m speechless…]
A Yang’s fans were furious and immediately retorted—
[A Yang isn’t doing it on purpose. He’s only in his twenties. He’s still a young boy!]
[It’s not that A Yang doesn’t want to help, it’s that he has the will but not the ability. A Yang really doesn’t know how!]
[A Yang doesn’t know how to cook!]
[A Yang doesn’t know how to wash vegetables!]
[A Yang doesn’t know how to clean!]
…
Suddenly, a troll with a sharp and sarcastic tone mixed in with A Yang’s fan base, posting furiously—
[Yeah, A Yang is so pure and kind. He even wanted movie star Yu to take the carp home and raise it… How pitiful for the carp to be killed~
But A Yang is picking the big pieces of fish meat from the sauerkraut fish. Our boy is so kind and innocent and not pretentious at all.
A Yang is so different from you cruel women…]
Finally, after everyone finished eating, they took a group photo at the entrance of the farmhouse.
“Come on, everyone, say it with me—Summer Youth Tour, Happy Mood~”
They took many group photos and changed many poses.
In one of the photos, a freeze-frame shot clearly showed that A Yang’s face was slightly turned toward Ji Jiayu, and he seemed to be rolling his eyes.
[OMG, A Yang’s expression scared me. He looks so petty and mean… I’m disgusted. How could he be like that? What did Jiayu do to him? I feel like A Yang has been targeting her the whole time…]
[The person upstairs shouldn’t be so extreme, okay? I think it was just an accidental expression.]
[A Yang is just unbelievable. How can a person have no sense of teamwork? A Yang and Kai Kai’s group really didn’t cooperate at all, which is why they got their points deducted by the show crew and ended up with no ingredients. They were slacking from the beginning to the end of the show, and when they ate, they didn’t show any gratitude at all. A Yang’s persona is collapsing!]
[Stop, we don’t want to talk about A Yang. It’s unbelievable. Some artists from Qiushui Entertainment just got a little popular and are already trying to slander others. It’s so ridiculous…]
[Stop with the slander on our A Yang. The people upstairs are obviously just haters from rival companies. Anyway, Prince A Yang is the best~ Looking forward to A Yang’s new drama, The Sunshine Is So Bright!]
…
At the end of the show, they experienced a country KTV at the farmhouse—they set up a stereo in the courtyard and sang the theme song of Summer Youth Tour.
The two-day variety show live broadcast ended here.
…
Ji Jiayu and Lin Qiaoxuan shared a car. They needed to get back to the Kuncheng International Hotel from the filming location.
They had been busy all day, from the mango orchard on the back mountain to the cooking showdown at the farmhouse restaurant, and finally to the KTV in the small courtyard. They were completely exhausted both physically and mentally.
Like a chick pecking at rice, Ji Jiayu’s chin was gently nodding. Her long eyelashes trembled, and the frequency of her blinks became slower and slower.
So sleepy…
Her eyelids felt a little sore, and she felt like she couldn’t keep her eyes open…
Unknowingly, Ji Jiayu fell asleep leaning against the back of her seat. Her eyelids were closed, and her thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her fair cheeks.
The mountain road was winding. Suddenly, the car took a sharp turn.
Ji Jiayu’s body swayed, and her head suddenly tilted to the left. Her forehead seemed to hit something, but it wasn’t hard. It was quite comfortable to lean on, like a pillow, and it was also warm…
She made a soft smacking sound with her lips. Her eyes were still closed. She was too sleepy and tired and didn’t wake up from her stupor.
The person sitting on her left, on whose shoulder Ji Jiayu was leaning, went stiff. She reached out a hand, wanting to straighten Ji Jiayu’s head.
But upon seeing Ji Jiayu’s serene sleeping face, the hand Lin Qiaoxuan had just extended stopped in midair.
Lin Qiaoxuan quietly pulled her hand back and secretly blinked. Her dark, round eyes stared at Ji Jiayu’s face.
Her face is so small…
Her eyelashes are so long…
Unlike some people’s fake eyelashes, Ji Jiayu’s eyelashes were fine and long, distinct, with curled tips. Each one had a perfect arc and was very neat.
When she closed her eyes, her eyelashes looked like little fans.
Ji Jiayu in her sleep was far less wary than she was when she was awake, with her ever-present stubbornness.
At this moment, she was like a little animal at rest, radiating a strong sense of innocence that made people want to get close to her and poke her soft, pink cheek.
Ji Jiayu’s sleeping face was almost transparent and looked very pure.
Her breathing was shallow and even.
She was truly asleep.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the car window, adding a faint golden edge to her eyelashes and the wisps of hair on her forehead.
One could see the subtle rise and fall of her chest, which was covered by a red camisole.
Lin Qiaoxuan’s lips curved into a smile. She suddenly remembered what happened before the show started—Ji Jiayu had leaned in and whispered to her: “Lin Qiaoxuan, are you trying to stir up a couple fandom with me?”
You’re so interesting… My good ‘sister’…
Who wants to stir up a couple fandom with you?
Didn’t I tell you?
—If I had known you were this interesting… If I were the protagonist, I would never have used you as a substitute.
—I would have taken you for myself and made everyone else your substitute.
Qiu Miaoran is a complete risk-averse person. She seeks to gain and avoids harm, always striving to minimize risk and maximize returns.
Qiu Miaoran would eliminate all risks. For instance, in the beginning, she didn’t have the power to protect Ji Jiayu, so she could only avoid meeting her and protect and observe her from a third-person perspective.
Even after they got together, pretending not to care about Ji Jiayu had become her habit.
Furthermore, she was originally a person with a cold and indifferent temperament, and her unfortunate childhood made her bad at expressing herself.
That’s why she lost her beloved.
Lin Qiaoxuan, on the other hand, is a risk-taker. The greater the risk, the more she wants to get involved. Uncertainty excites Lin Qiaoxuan. Risk represents an uncertain future.
—And it also represents “infinite possibilities.”
The system said, “Ji Jiayu is a bug in the book’s world. To correct the story’s timeline, you should (beep, censored) her.”
Lin Qiaoxuan quietly turned off the system’s censored message.
She insisted on forcing her way into Ji Jiayu’s life.
Since she was interested, of course, she had to follow through.
…
The car stopped at the entrance of the Kuncheng International Hotel.
“We’ve arrived, Miss Lin.” The driver’s voice was low.
“Shh…” Lin Qiaoxuan hushed the driver.
A lot of time had passed.
Ji Jiayu’s drooping eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. She moved her head a little and realized she had been leaning on something and sleeping comfortably the whole way.
She slowly sat up, still half-asleep, and softly said “Ah,” as she saw that they were in the hotel’s underground parking lot. “I fell asleep?”
Lin Qiaoxuan turned her head, smiling mischievously. Her lips curved up. “Yeah, sister was too sleepy. Your saliva got on me.”
Ji Jiayu was instantly wide awake. She straightened up and instinctively asked, “What water?”
“Saliva. I didn’t expect my sister to drool in her sleep…”
So cute.
“Ah…” Ji Jiayu quickly touched the corner of her mouth. It was indeed a little wet. She quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth. She then looked at Lin Qiaoxuan’s shoulder, where there was indeed a wet spot.
“I’m so sorry. I’m getting a wisdom tooth…” Ji Jiayu explained. It was probably because she was at the age when people get wisdom teeth. “I’ll buy you a new shirt when we get back?”
“No, that’s not necessary,” Lin Qiaoxuan lowered her eyes to look at the wet spot on her shoulder. Her eyes dimmed slightly, and she secretly rubbed her fingertips together.
“How could I make my sister pay? We’re like sisters. Why are you acting like a stranger?”
The wet spot came from Ji Jiayu’s lips and seemed to have a hint of peach scent. She must have had a peach-flavored breath mint after lunch.
Her scent is so good, and so sweet…
Ji Jiayu’s voice came from beside her. “Did I make you wait long?”
The driver was from the Lin family and didn’t dare to answer.
Lin Qiaoxuan shook her head. “Not long. We just arrived and waited for a few minutes…”
Ji Jiayu “hmm”-ed. Maybe because she had been sleeping with her head tilted, her neck suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She raised her fair, slender wrist like a flower branch and massaged her shoulder with her fingertips, letting out a soft gasp.
Lin Qiaoxuan unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned over slightly. “Does your neck hurt? Did my sister get a stiff neck?”
Ji Jiayu pressed the button to unbuckle her seatbelt. “I hope not…”
Lin Qiaoxuan leaned in close and whispered, “I’ll help you massage it…”
