Ji Yan comforted him, "It's alright, don't worry. He's not that kind of person; he won't talk nonsense."

Two minutes later, the knocking sounded again, and Ji Yan went to open the door.

Chu Yu's face lit up with surprise when he saw Ji Yan open the door: "I knew I wasn't mistaken, it's been a long time!"

Ji Yan smiled and said, "Come in and sit down."

Then Ji Yan brought Chu Yu in and closed the door.

Ning Yi didn't know who Chu Yu was at first, but she suddenly remembered when she saw him in person.

Ji Yan previously covered a song called "Late Autumn," which was a duet with Chu Yu. That song was very popular, and his cover version was also quite popular. She even went to watch the music video, which was a video of the two of them singing together on stage.

Chu Yu is tall and has a handsome face with regular features; after all, most people in the entertainment industry are good-looking.

Chu Yu's gaze shifted to Ning Yi, who was sitting down. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had intended to greet Ji Yan when he saw him on the third floor, but then he saw Ji Yan bring a woman into the room.

So he started to doubt again whether it was Ji Yan.

After Ji Yan helped Chu Yu sit down, Chu Yu looked at Ji Yan and asked, "And who is this?"

Ji Yan introduced her, saying, "Her name is Ning Yi, and she's my girlfriend."

Ning Yi's heart tightened. Was he really going to confess so directly?

Since Ji Yan had spoken, Ning Yi politely replied, "Hello, my name is Ning Yi."

Chu Yu looked at Ji Yan in surprise: "You're in a relationship?"

Chu Yu opened his mouth in shock, looked at Ji Yan and then at Ning Yi, and then quickly said, "Hello, I'm Chu Yu, Ji Yan's friend."

Ji Yan nodded: "Yes, we've been together for over a year, but you have to keep it a secret for me."

Chu Yu was still somewhat incredulous, then added, "Of course I know that, but... wow, I thought you were going to stay single until you were over thirty. I didn't expect you to be in a relationship so soon."

"We haven't seen each other for only three or four months, the progress is good."

Ji Yan smiled slightly and said, "You know, as public figures, we can't publicize these things everywhere."

Chu Yu nodded: "Yeah, but when are you planning to go public with this secret relationship? You've been pretty busy lately, haven't you? What does your girlfriend do for a living?"

Ji Yan replied, "She's still in school. We'll go public in two years after she graduates."

Chu Yu was shocked again; he hadn't expected Ji Yan to be dating a female college student.

The two then chatted for a few more minutes. Chu Yu didn't want to disturb them too much, since he was just spoiling the mood for the young couple's date.

After Chu Yu left, Ning Yi couldn't help but say, "I didn't know who Chu Yu was at first. I only remembered him after seeing him in person. I feel like I haven't seen him much in recent years."

Ji Yan placed a plate of cherry pies in front of Ning Yi and replied, "Try this. He's kind of a jack-of-all-trades; he takes on gigs when there are opportunities, and plays around when there aren't. His family is quite wealthy; they can afford to support him."

Ning Yi nodded. "Being rich means you can do whatever you want, right?"

She took a bite of the cherry pie with her fork, then looked satisfied: "It's delicious!"

Ning Yi had been craving it for a while, and couldn't help but take several photos as soon as the food was served because it was so beautifully and exquisitely made. Later, when Chu Yu arrived, she didn't eat much of anything, feeling a bit uncomfortable with outsiders around, especially since Ji Yan had directly revealed their relationship.

"This almond milk custard smells so good, let me try it," Ning Yi pointed to the almond milk custard next to her, then took a few spoonfuls and nodded repeatedly.

These desserts were all placed on a small plate with the name of the dessert written on the plate.

Ji Yan then pointed to one of the dessert plates: "And this, the Cool Black Blueberry Ice Cream Cheese Scones, this one is a bestseller here."

The dessert that Ji Yan was pointing to was covered with a black substance on the outside, but the inside was the color of dragon fruit, which looked quite novel.

Ningyi felt like she had opened the door to a new world. So many of the desserts were both beautiful and delicious, and she had never seen them before.

They ordered about ten different desserts and four drinks, and instantly felt an explosion of happiness on their taste buds.

Ning Yi couldn't resist posting the newly taken photos on Weibo, and her phone received several comments shortly afterward.

During this period, Ning Yi participated in quite a few events and competitions. Since her Weibo account was verified, many photos of her with others during competitions or photos requested by the organizers have been posted and have her Weibo account tagged.

So she gained some followers, and now she has more than 5,000 followers on Weibo. A large part of them are because of two photos of her with internet celebrities that were posted on short videos. Some netizens came for Ning Yi's looks.

After afternoon tea, Ji Yan took Ning Yi to visit a lake in the area, which was said to be man-made.

This lake is not small, and its construction is no less impressive than that of the Garden Expo Park.

It was already afternoon, and the sun was slowly setting. The temperature had dropped by two degrees. They walked along the lake, and occasionally a gentle breeze would blow by. It was such a pleasant feeling.

At this moment, the two of them held hands and strolled quietly around the lake, just like a perfectly normal, sweet young couple.

How wonderful it would be if things could just continue like this forever.

Ji Yan was worried that Ning Yi would be cold, so he took out Ning Yi's coat from his backpack and let her wear it.

Ning Yi wasn't cold at all, but she still obediently put it on. Ji Yan stood to her left. Ji Yan was tall, so he blocked the cool breeze. She wasn't hot at the moment, but if the wind blew for a while longer, she would probably feel a bit chilly.

Ji Yan said there was a large grassland to the west, which was perfect for a picnic, but since it was inconvenient for him to stay in crowded places for too long, they could only take a stroll.

They strolled around for a long time, visiting many shops along the roadside. Ning Yi even bought two matching hats. Feeling her legs were about to give out, Ji Yan suggested they go home to rest.

It's only a little past 7 p.m., and we still have leftovers from lunch, so we've decided to eat at home tonight.
