Li Man kept pestering Ning Yi to see a picture of the man she was talking about, but Ning Yi said she didn't have any pictures of him because he never took pictures.

If I show her the photo and she finds out it's Ji Yan, then things will be in big trouble.

Ning Yi spends her free time browsing Weibo. She heard that Ji Yan has been busy releasing a new song recently, which will be released at the fourth anniversary fan meeting.

He must be very busy.

Ning Yi sipped her coffee and gazed out the window.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's been raining these past few days, so she's been too lazy to go out.

She's going to participate in a competition in a week, and she's been practicing the piano for the past two days and she's tired.

She hesitated for a long time while holding her phone, but finally sent the message she had typed in the message box.

Ningyi: Brother Yan, where are you?

Ningyi: It's raining in Nanzhou, how about where you are?

Ning Yi felt a little down when Ji Yan didn't reply.

She didn't know if he was busy, or if she had been too blunt last time and he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

……

"Very good, Xiao Ji, your piece is excellent," Tang Huaili said with admiration.

Ji Yan smiled modestly: "It's also thanks to Teacher Tang's guidance."

Tang Huaili waved his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't help much. I must say, you really have a talent for composing."

"How's this word? Is there anything else I need to change?"

Ji Yan followed Tang Huaili out of the recording studio.

Ji Yan smiled leisurely and said, "Teacher Tang's lyrics are among the best in the entertainment industry, so I'm naturally satisfied."

"Hahaha, I love collaborating with talented singers like you," Tang Huaili said with a laugh.

Tang Huaili is also a seasoned lyricist in the entertainment industry and has certain insights into music.

Tang Huaili genuinely admired Ji Yan, after all, it's quite rare to find a singer of his age in the entertainment industry with such composing ability.

Xu Zhi brought in two cups of tea, then greeted them with a smile, "Brother Yan, Teacher Tang, please have some tea."

Tang Huaili nodded, took the tea, and drank it. His eyes lit up as he said, "Good tea!"

"I'm glad Teacher Tang likes it," Ji Yan said with a slight smile.

Tang Huaili nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ji Yan, saying, "Little Ji, you're so thoughtful, knowing I have this kind of taste."

They chatted about work and other things for a while before Tang Huaili left.

Ji Yan leaned back lazily on the sofa and took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee.

"Brother Yan, you've worked hard these past few days. Once you're done with the new song, you can take a few days off," Xu Zhi said from the side.

Ji Yan nodded, then patted the sofa next to him: "Sit down."

Xu Zhi sat down and relaxed on the sofa.

"Brother Yan, your path will definitely become wider and brighter in the future," Xu Zhi slowly curled his lips.

Then Xu Zhi turned to look at Ji Yan, a smile on his face: "It's a good thing I followed you back then."

"Looks like I'll have to rely on you from now on."

Ji Yan raised an eyebrow, then patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, you won't suffer."

Xu Zhi laughed heartily, then added with some emotion, "But I'm truly grateful to you for giving me that job opportunity back then."

When Xu Zhigang graduated, he couldn't find a job. His family was already struggling financially, and his mother was seriously ill, requiring a large sum of money for treatment.

During that period, Xu Zhi was doing several part-time jobs every day, which was extremely tiring.

His father is also getting old, and he injured his leg years ago, so he can't do heavy work. He only earns two or three thousand yuan a day, which is far from enough to cover his mother's medical expenses.

At that time, Xu Zhi was on the verge of collapse, but he wanted to get his mother treated as soon as possible. He borrowed money from some friends, but the amount they lent him was not much and was far from enough for him.

Xu Zhi and Ji Yan met in the music club during their university years. Xu Zhi was simple and honest, so Ji Yan considered him a fairly reliable friend.

When Xu Zhi really couldn't borrow any more money, he thought of Ji Yan. Since his friends in the music club knew that Ji Yan's family was relatively wealthy, he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to contact Ji Yan to borrow money.

When Ji Yan learned of Xu Zhi's difficulties, he not only lent Xu Zhi money, but also let Xu Zhi work with him as his assistant, and paid him a high salary.

Xu Zhi was both surprised and delighted, and extremely grateful to Ji Yan. Therefore, Xu Zhi has always been devoted to Ji Yan.

Xu Zhi knew Ji Yan's character well, and he didn't want to let Ji Yan down. So he always did his best in the work assigned to him.

Having followed Ji Yan for so long, Ji Yan has never shown any displeasure to others like other celebrities; he treats him more like a good friend.

Ji Yan's gaze flickered slightly, and she smiled, saying, "What's the big deal? We're all good friends."

"You must be hungry by now. I'll go get you something to eat. It was bought by Xiao Mo and the others. Today, Xiao Mo and Fang Wen treated their colleagues at the studio to afternoon tea, and they saved some for you too." With that, Xu Zhi got up and went out to get it.

Ji Yan picked up her phone and saw a new message, so she clicked on it.

He stared at the screen for a long time after seeing that the message was sent by Ning Yi half an hour ago.

Xu Zhi walked in carrying a box of small cakes and some desserts.

"Brother Yan, come and eat. You haven't eaten much all day, you must be starving." Xu Zhi put the food on the table and then handed a box of small cakes to Ji Yan.

When Ji Yan saw the small cake Xu Zhi handed him, he couldn't help but recall the small cake Ning Yi had given him that day...

He recalled what Ning Yi had said to him that day, and... when she noticed he hadn't eaten much, she specially brought him a small box of cakes.

Ji Yan took the cake, opened it, and found it was a mousse cake. He took a few bites and felt it wasn't as good as the fruit cake Ning Yi had given him that day.

I don't know why, but sometimes I have this feeling that Ning Yi understands him very well, like the cake that Ning Yi casually brings out is one that he likes to eat.

Seeing that Ji Yan looked preoccupied, Xu Zhi asked, "What's wrong, Brother Yan? Is it not good?"

Ji Yan took a couple more bites and then put the cake down: "I'll just eat a little bit; eating too many sweets will make me fat."

“That’s true. Then see what else you want to eat and I’ll go buy it for you,” Xu Zhi continued.

Ji Yan shook her head: "It's alright, no need to trouble yourself."

"Xu Zhi, have any girls ever pursued you?" After a long while, Ji Yan suddenly asked.

Xu Zhi was taken aback, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ugh, I don't have any girls chasing after me."

Then Xu Zhi immediately realized what was going on and asked, "Is another girl pursuing you?"

Xu Zhi said excitedly, "Brother Yan, you've never lacked suitors. You used to like Sister Jiawei, but now she has a boyfriend. It's time for you to find a new relationship!"

"If you want to date, Yan-ge, I will fully support you."

"However... your current status is a bit special, so dating might be a bit difficult, right?"

Hearing Xu Zhi's rambling, Ji Yan quickly interrupted him, "Stop, stop, stop, don't go off on a tangent."
