Ji Yan replied almost instantly.

Ji Yan: We're on our way back to the hotel, so have you made your choices yet?

Ningyi: I bought a dress, but I'll probably look around some more.

Ningyi: Your new movie is coming out soon, it's a pity we can't watch it together, so I made plans to go see it with Manman.

Ji Yan: Okay, I'll make it up next time.

Ji Yan: I've been quite busy lately. I need to follow up on the movie's promotion and participate in roadshows, and the crew has to wait for me, so filming might have to be extended.

Ning Yi: [Sad]

Ning Yi: [Flying kiss]

Ning Yi: Can you handle it? Then you'd better make sure you eat well.

Ji Yan sat in the car, looking down at the emoji Ning Yi had sent him—a kitten crying and a Minion blowing a kiss—and found it somewhat amusing.

Ji Yan: Okay, I won't exhaust myself, otherwise what will happen to my Xiao Yi?

Ning Yi couldn't help but smile as she held her phone. Just then, Li Man returned with drinks and snacks.

"Oh my, I saw you grinning like an idiot from afar," Li Man said, sitting down.

Ning Yi put down her phone and said in surprise, "Buying so much? It seems it really exhausted Manman."

Li Man sighed and tossed her hair: "Of course!"

"Because you're my good friend Ning Yi."

Li Man winked at her, and Ning Yi smiled and said, "Then I'll treat you to a good meal today. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

“I’ve been waiting to hear that,” Li Man said, handing another bottle of drink to Ning Yi.

Li Man twisted open the bottle cap, took a few sips of water, and then turned to Ning Yi, saying, "But I noticed that some of the outfits you tried on today were really nice; they gave you a mature woman's vibe."

Ning Yi raised an eyebrow: "You mean, I'm usually quite childish?"

Li Man waved her hand: "I didn't mean that. I just thought that style was a bit different from your usual style. It was more mature and charming, absolutely captivating."

"You're still feeling embarrassed about wearing it? What's there to be embarrassed about? Isn't it great to show off your great figure?"

Ning Yi was speechless: "Come on, my figure is hardly considered good."

She was aware of her own figure. Although she was somewhat attractive, she wasn't particularly good-looking. After all, her weight was what it was, and she was rather thin. Even though she was much better than before, she still wasn't growing as fast.

As for my own breasts... well, they're not as amazing as the heroines described in novels. I have some, but not much.

Ning Yi still has several dresses and skirts at home that show off her figure and are feminine. She tried them on before, but they didn't fit her figure very well and had the opposite effect.

I've recovered somewhat in the last two years, but I'm not used to wearing that type of clothing anymore.

Li Man patted her on the shoulder: "What you're saying makes you think so badly of yourself, Ning Yi. Wouldn't it be better to have some confidence in yourself?"

Ning Yi shrugged: "Having confidence doesn't mean you can be blindly confident, right?"

Li Man pursed her lips and said in a nonchalant tone, "I can't be bothered to talk to you. It's a shame about those dresses. I don't think I'm the only one who would like to see you wear those."

"You just want to persuade me to buy it, right?" Ning Yi saw through it at a glance.

Li Man popped a potato chip into her mouth and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

Ning Yi was silent for a while. She pursed her lips. Actually, what she said made sense. What's wrong with trying more things?

"Then... go buy it back?" Ning Yi asked tentatively.

Li Man winked: "Let's go."

……

During this period, Ji Yan was really busy, and the two of them rarely chatted. The only way Ning Yi could learn more about him was by constantly checking his Weibo.

These days, Ji Yan's popularity has soared even higher. He has a new song that is the theme song for this movie, and it is very popular.

His song "Contentment" has topped the charts on various short video apps and music software.

Ji Yan hasn't released a new song in a long time, so many fans have been looking forward to it. Now that he has finally released a new song, fans are quick to help promote it.

Also, the female lead Luo Man, played by Jiang Yuyi, and the second male lead Chen Yi, played by Ji Yan, are each other's first love.

In the movie, the two of them had a very sweet romance during their university years. Many netizens felt that the two had great chemistry, and many people shipped Chen Yi and Luo Man during their student days.

Many people think the two look great together. Their college days in the movie have a strong campus vibe, and many people have suggested that they should work together again. They have also called on directors and producers to give them scripts about campus youth.

Although the later part of the movie tells the love story of the male and female protagonists, many people feel that Chen Yi and Luo Man are a real pity. Although it was Chen Yi's distrust that led to the breakdown of their relationship, looking at Ji Yan's handsome face, netizens couldn't bring themselves to blame him.

Some netizens even created a special hashtag called "Satisfied Couple" specifically to ship them as a couple.

Ning Yi actually felt quite jealous watching this, but she could only keep comforting herself that it was just work, and that the fans were just making things up...

So she started spending even more time practicing the piano. She didn't stop Ji Yan from pursuing his career, but she also wanted to get started on her own career as soon as possible.

Three months later.

"See you in a bit," Ji Yan said on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, see you in a bit," Ning Yi said and hung up the phone.

Ning Yi quickly ran to the mirror and looked at the low-cut gold slit dress she was wearing. The dress was slightly tight, outlining her figure. She had also specially curled her hair today.

Ning Yi's once long, straight black hair had now turned into big waves. She stared at herself in the mirror, somewhat stunned.

She pursed her lips and struck a few poses that she thought were rather feminine, but instantly shivered twice.

"It's a bit disgusting," Ning Yi said, rubbing her forehead.

However, this outfit did look different from her usual self, and she seemed to have a more feminine air about her. She looked down at the cleavage that was showing in front of her chest.

Ning Yi quickly covered her face, wondering what Ji Yan would think when he saw it.

Because she was going out to have dinner with Ji Yan later, she put on a long down jacket over her clothes, keeping herself quite covered up.

Ning Yi got up to leave after Ji Yan sent her a message saying that the car had arrived.
