Chapter 181 Going to France

"I'm flying to France tomorrow, so get some rest today," came the female voice on the other end of the phone.

Ning Yi couldn't help but grip her phone tighter, then pursed her lips and said, "Okay, goodbye, Sister Wei."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looked out at the dark night, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This was her first time competing abroad since she came into this world; she had never dared to imagine such a grand occasion before.

Because she has to catch a flight tomorrow, Ningyi moved into the apartment today.

She didn't know how long she had been holding the phone, but her palms were starting to sweat. She was genuinely nervous, afraid of making a mistake on such a big stage, especially with so many audience members and opportunities for photographers to record and take pictures.

This is a big competition, and many people will take it seriously.

After taking a shower, Ning Yi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Ji Yan was very busy today, so they had a brief phone call during dinner.

She felt uneasy, both nervous and excited, making it even harder for her to fall asleep.

Ning Yi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Suddenly, she missed Ji Yan terribly. If he were by her side, she wouldn't be so nervous.

Then she opened her phone, opened a music app, and started listening to Ji Yan's songs.

Hearing a familiar voice makes you feel like he's right beside you.

……

As soon as Ning Yi arrived in France, someone came to pick her up.

"Xiao Yi, over here," Chen Wei waved to Ning Yi, who was pulling a suitcase not far away.

Ning Yi saw Chen Wei and walked towards her.

Chen Wei is in charge of leading the domestic contestants to the competition. Since they all come from different parts of the country, they decided to get together again after arriving in France.

"Hello, Sister Chen Wei," Ning Yi said with a slight smile, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear and extending her hand.

Chen Wei nodded and reached out to hold Ning Yi's hand. Her neat, short hair made her appear even more composed: "Let's go, I'll take you to the hotel."

Chen Wei is six years older than Ning Yi, so she naturally takes care of those younger than herself.

After they arrived at the hotel, Chen Wei told Ning Yi that quite a few people had already arrived and that she would take everyone to the competition venue the next afternoon to familiarize themselves with it. She also reminded everyone not to put too much pressure on themselves these two days and to go out for a walk if they felt comfortable.

Chen Wei considered that some people might not be able to speak the language here, so she suggested that everyone go out in groups to avoid unexpected situations.

In fact, Ning Yi had discovered this a long time ago. Ning Yi had studied French before because she went abroad a long time ago. Although she did not live in France, she still learned several foreign languages ​​to some extent.

However, Ning Yi hadn't been abroad in the past few years and hadn't had the chance to speak much French, so she didn't know how to speak it very well.

Before coming to France, she had practiced some basic French, since she would be staying in France for several days, so language communication was essential.

Perhaps because she had already studied it, it wasn't so difficult for her to learn it again.

Everyone's rooms were booked very close together, so Ningyi spent some time getting acquainted with everyone before returning to her own room.

After putting her things away, Ning Yi sent messages to her family and Ji Yan.

Gu Ai and Ning Anyuan will also be coming to France the day after tomorrow, since they want to be there for Ning Yi during this time.

The company has a tricky order lately, and Ning Anyuan and Ning Jian are both busy, so they won't be flying to France until the day after tomorrow. They originally wanted Ning Yi to come with them, but many people have already arrived here, and she doesn't want everyone to wait for her alone.

After sending the message, Ningyi walked to the window and looked out. The buildings abroad were very different from those in China, giving people two different feelings.

She couldn't resist taking out her phone to take pictures of the scenery and buildings outside the window, and then posted them on WeChat Moments and Weibo.

Ningyi's phone rang. It was a message in the group chat. Someone said they wanted to go out for a walk later and asked if anyone wanted to go together.

Seeing that everyone wanted to go out, and that someone had even suggested having dinner together that evening, Ning Yi naturally couldn't refuse, so she agreed in the group chat.

Ji Yan had just come out of the recording studio when Xu Zhi handed him a cup of coffee. He took it, sat on the sofa, and took a couple of sips, his face showing obvious fatigue.

Ji Yan asked Xu Zhi to bring her phone over, and then she saw a message from Ning Yi on WeChat, along with photos she had taken.

He put down his cup and then went to reply to Ning Yi's message.

Ji Yan: I was just recording a song. Have you eaten yet?

Ji Yan: Are you getting used to it?

Ji Yan: Are you feeling unwell? Is everything alright?

After a long time, Ning Yi still didn't reply to the message.

Ji Yan stared at his phone for a long time, and after a while, he asked Xu Zhi, who was next to him, "Did you get the tickets I asked you to buy?"

Xu Zhi nodded as if he had remembered something and said, "I bought it, I bought it. I left it in the lounge. You have no idea how hard it was to get those tickets."

Ji Yan nodded: "That's good."

Xu Zhi sat down next to Ji Yan and then asked, "Has Xiao Yi arrived in France yet?"

"So you want to surprise her?"

Ji Yan slightly curved the corners of his lips and softly hummed in agreement.

Then he picked up his coffee, took a couple of sips, and continued, "In a situation like this, of course I have to stay with her."

Xu Zhi looked very pleased, seeing Ji Yan and Ning Yi so in love, he was genuinely happy for Ji Yan.

In the past two years, Ji Yan has become very famous and has received many more resources. Previously, Ji Yan did not accept advertising endorsements because those small ads were unnecessary. Now, many big-name advertising endorsements have come to him.

In the past two days, Miracle has also received offers for brand endorsements. They haven't had a Chinese brand ambassador for the past three years. However, since Ji Yan has requested to go abroad, the company is getting a little anxious and hopes that Ji Yan can postpone his trip for a few days.

Ji Yan persisted, and after negotiations, Miracle agreed to wait for Ji Yan's return before proceeding with the endorsement work.

Xu Zhi hesitated, glanced at Ji Yan, and then said with some concern, "Have you made up your mind? We'll announce it officially after Xiao Yi's competition."

Ji Yan pursed her lips and nodded: "It's decided. Is the PR team at the studio ready?"

“Everyone is ready. When you give the notification, everyone will be busy. After all, if this news gets out in a few days, it will definitely cause a huge uproar,” Xu Zhi said with a somewhat solemn expression.

Xu Zhi sighed: "You really don't plan to talk to Sister Qin Xue first?"

Ji Yan said calmly, "If I tell her now, the studio's public relations work won't be able to proceed, and she won't agree."

"I'll talk to her once everything is ready on my end."

Xu Zhi pursed his lips: "What about Xiaoyi? Are you going to keep it from her too?"

Ji Yan paused, then slowly said, "We've been secretly dating for so long, and every date we've had has been indoors. I haven't taken her out in ages."

"I feel guilty towards her. Now that she's about to graduate, I will take good care of her."

Previously, he could occasionally take Ning Yi out to play a few times. In fact, they had been photographed several times before, but Ji Yan had already made preparations and had people specially deal with it to prevent their relationship from being made public too early.

But things are different now. His popularity and attention are much higher than before, and going out is a big problem that is not as easy to solve as before.
