After they finished eating, Cheng Qi drove them back to the neighboring city.

It was already late when they arrived in the neighboring city. Gu Ai and the others knew that Ning Yi was coming back, so they waited for her at home.

Ning Yi was taken to the outside of the Ning residence.

"Xiao Yi is back!" Aunt Lin said happily when she saw Ning Yi getting out of the car outside the gate.

Aunt Lin quickly went outside and saw Cheng Qi and Qiao Jiawei getting out of the car.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while, Xiao Qi Jiawei?" Aunt Lin greeted her warmly.

Qiao Jiawei smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need, Aunt Lin. I still need to go to the studio in a bit. We brought Xiaoyi back."

"Alright then, please be careful," Aunt Lin said.

"Goodbye, Brother Qi and Sister Jiawei," Ning Yi said goodbye to them.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Lin stepped forward and took Ningyi's luggage.

"It's okay, my suitcase isn't very heavy, I can carry it," Ning Yi quickly went up to get the suitcase again.

Aunt Lin picked up the suitcase directly: "Madam and the others are all waiting for you inside. Come inside, it's cold outside."

After they entered the house, Gu Ai, who was sitting on the sofa eating bird's nest, stood up and said, "Xiao Yi, you're finally back."

"Let Mom see this quickly!"

Gu Ai got up and went over to touch Ning Yi's hand, only to find that it was ice cold.

"Xiaoyi, why are your hands so cold? Come here and I'll give you a hand warmer." Gu Ai frowned and then pulled Ning Yi to the sofa.

Ning Yi felt a warmth in her hand as Gu Ai placed the hand warmer in her hand.

"Thank you, Mom. It's much warmer now," Ning Yi smiled at her.

Hearing the commotion, Grandma Ning looked down from upstairs and saw that Ning Yi had returned. She then happily went downstairs.

"Xiao Yi is back!" Grandma came downstairs with a smile.

Ning Yi saw her grandmother and said, "Grandma, you haven't rested yet?"

“Your grandma knew you were coming back today, and she said she wanted to wait for you,” Gu Ai smiled.

Ning Yi said in a coquettish tone, "I'm all grown up now, you don't need to worry about me anymore. You can check on me again tomorrow, it'll be the same."

……

The day after returning home, Ji Yan asked a friend to deliver the Fu Tuan to Ning Yi's house.

Ning was very happy to see the Futuan.

Ning Yi greeted Gu Ai and the others, asking if they could accept keeping the dog for a while. After they agreed, Ning Yi told Ji Yan that Fu Tuan could be sent over.

Gu Ai saw the puppy in Ning Yi's arms and walked over: "This is Xiao Yan's puppy?"

Ning Yi hugged Fu Tuan and patted its head, saying, "Yes, it's very well-behaved. I've seen it twice before. I heard that Brother A Yan hasn't had time to take care of it lately, so I thought I'd bring it along to play with."

Ning Yi also sent Ji Yan a photo of the lucky bag: The lucky bag has been safely delivered [photo].

Ji Yan: Okay

Ji Yan: There's a shop in Baigang City that makes really delicious red bean taiyaki. I'll bring it to you next time I come back.

Ning Yi: Okay, remember to drink less coffee, it's bad for your health.

Ji Yan's side.

The scene we just saw was a duet between Ji Yan and Lin Yiqi. Now Lin Yiqi is walking over with the script.

"Want to go over the script together?" Lin Yiqi asked Ji Yan with a smile.

Ji Yan looked up at the sound and said, "Okay."

Ji Yan's next scene is tomorrow afternoon, where he will have a scene with Lin Yiqi.

Lin Yiqi plays a policewoman in the drama who suspects Wen Che, played by Ji Yan, of being a murderer.

Everyone can see that Lin Yiqi is a hardworking third-tier artist. She has been in the industry for six or seven years, but she has never become very popular. In fact, her acting skills are quite good, but she just lacks opportunities and luck.

After they rehearsed their lines for a while, Lin Yiqi took the initiative to invite Ji Yan to have dinner together, but Ji Yan declined with a random excuse.

He still believes that celebrities must learn to avoid suspicion.

……

That day, Li Man suddenly sent a message to Ning Yi.

Li Man: Xiao Yi, I'm devastated.

Li Man: Yan Sijing rejected me outright. I asked him why.

Li Man: He stammered and talked to me for a long time, and finally I asked him what he said. He said that Chen Yu likes me, so it's impossible for him and me.

Ning Yi was genuinely shocked when she saw these words.

After all, Chen Yu was a very refined and gentle person, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to like a girl, especially one like Li Man.

Before, when he learned that Chen Yu and Yan Sijing were friends, he thought that they were like family, since their personalities were quite similar. However, Chen Yu's personality seemed much more open-minded.

Ning Yi: Huh? Could this be a love triangle?

Ningyi: He feels that his good brother likes you, so he feels that he can't be with you?

Ning Yi: Do you know that Chen Yu likes you?

Li Man immediately sent a message.

Li Man: I honestly didn't see any sign that Chen Yu had any feelings for me. I was completely stunned when I heard that.

Li Man: Chen Yu and I don't contact each other very often, and he never confessed to me or anything, so how would I know?

Li Man: Yan Sijing is such a worry! He beat around the bush with me for ages before finally telling me that he wouldn't make a move on the girl his best friend likes if Chen Yu likes me, so he's breaking up with me.

Li Man: I'm so angry I could laugh.

Li Man was very irritable. After all, she had put a lot of effort into Yan Sijing, and she liked him quite a bit.

If it's really because of Chen Yu that there's no possibility between her and Yan Sijing, then she'll be so angry she'll vomit blood.

She didn't want to ask Chen Yu directly, even though she had no feelings for him at all, they were still friends.

Li Man stared at the gift bag on the table and sighed.

Actually, he went to celebrate Yan Sijing's birthday today, and the gift bag contained the thermos cup that she wanted to give to Yan Sijing.

Li Man wasn't in a hurry to go back to school because her family wasn't home. Yan Sijing was also going back a couple of days later because he was helping one of his professors.

Then Li Man thought she should give him the birthday present before he left, but she was rejected as soon as she met him and handed him the gift. Moreover, Yan Sijing was talking to her about those things with a serious face.

Just thinking about how he looked made Li Man feel sad.

After hesitating for a while, Li Man decided to ask Chen Yu tactfully. Actually, she wasn't sure if Chen Yu liked her, and what she wanted to say was that even if Chen Yu liked her, he shouldn't be a barrier between her and Yan Sijing.

So Li Man took the initiative to send a message to Chen Yu.

Li Man: Chen Yu, I want to ask you something.

Not long after, Chen replied to the message.

Chen Yu: What is it?

Chen Yu: What happened?

Li Man hesitated for a moment but still sent the message: Do you have a girl you like?

The other party replied a while later.

Chen Yu: Yes, I have.

Li Man couldn't help but frown and scratch her head in frustration.

Li Man: Chen Yu, you're a really good guy, but we're really not a good match, so I hope you won't have any expectations of me.

Li Man: We will always be the best partners.

After sending these messages, Li Man let out a heavy sigh.

Chen Yu: ? ?

Chen Yu: Are you saying I like you?

Chen Yu: Are you misunderstanding something? Who told you that?

Li Man was stunned when she saw this answer. Could it be that Chen Yu didn't like her? Or did Chen Yu say this on purpose because she rejected him?

Li Man: I heard it from Yan Sijing. You know I've been interested in him lately and have been pursuing him, so he knew you liked me and rejected me.

Li Man: Then I wanted to make things clear to you.

Chen Yu: You've really misunderstood. I do have a girl I like.

Chen Yu: But it wasn't you, it was another girl. She's from the dance club, and we met at an event.

Li Man opened her eyes in surprise.
