Chapter 9: If you ignore the problem that they don’t love each other

When Jiang Mian was free, she wanted to start a live broadcast on Weibo, but thinking about what happened to Luo Fei last time, after thinking for a second, she clicked on Luo Fei's Weibo homepage and removed the fan block in one go.

As she tilted her head to pet the cat, the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, she answered the phone, “Sister Ning."

Sister Ning was all happy now, "Mianmian, fortunately you didn't take the notebook last time. Guess what?"

She made it clear that it was tempting, and Jiang Mian happily cooperated with her, “What's going on?"

Sister Ning snickered, "The original author of the book is involved in a plagiarism scandal and is currently in a lawsuit with the company. It's hard to say whether it can be turned on or not. Fortunately, you didn't act. Otherwise, your popularity would be gone."

The script was very well written, but now that it is involved in lawsuits, there is no hope of getting it started.

Sister Ning is really lucky that she didn't waste time on this. The investors originally invited Jiang Mian to play the heroine.

She felt apologetic after she refused.

Jiang Mian stretched out his hand and scratched Xiao Yugan's chin. Hearing this, he didn't feel much, and said in a lazy voice, "Huh? That must have been a mistake."

Sister Ning said seriously, “Then do you have any thoughts now? Are you really not planning to come back?"

Jiang Mian really didn't plan to come back, and Jiang Mian never thought about it.

During her years in the entertainment industry, she was very tired of working alone. She was discovered by a talent scout at the age of fifteen, and she met Ji Zhixiu at the age of twenty and had a secret marriage for three years.

She also retired to study for three years, but if she had to completely give up her acting career, she couldn't do it.

Jiang Mian hesitated for a while, “I have no such plan."

Sister Ning immediately responded, “You girl, you are just lazy. There are new people in the entertainment industry every day, one after another, just like the chive flowers in the field. If you don't come out, who will remember you?"

It's a waste of your beauty and acting skills. You are only twenty-three years old and you can do anything in time. You lose your fighting spirit at such a young age. Mr. Ji is good, but you can't give up your career for the sake of a man. "

She spoke like a machine gun, which made Jiang Mian smile lightly on her lips, but she wasn't angry at all. Sister Ning had such a personality.

Xiao Yugan licked the palm of her hand, Jiang Mian lowered his eyes and made a decision in his heart, “If there is a suitable book in the future, please look at it for me."

These words meant relief, and Sister Ning felt happy. She had said this often before, but she didn't expect it to be explained to her today.

"Okay, I'll take care of this. As long as you want to do it, are you afraid that you won't get ahead!"

Jiang Mian is extremely beautiful, and with Mr. Ji behind her, Sister Ning has great confidence in her.

Sister Ning rarely receives good news these days, and then asked, “Are you graduating soon?"

As soon as June comes next year, Jiang Mian will graduate from the Department of Acting.

When she was fifteen years old, she was discovered by a talent scout and left her hometown. Later, her grandmother accompanied her to Jiangnan and Kyoto for filming.

I filmed a few dramas and played a few small supporting roles.

Seeing that she liked this line of work, her grandmother gritted her teeth and accompanied her. However, Jiang Mian gradually realized that her grandmother's focus revolved around her.

Being in the prosperous Kyoto is far less joyful and comfortable than being in the Jiangnan water town. When you go out, you are surrounded by neighbors and people everywhere. That kind of atmosphere is far inferior to Kyoto.

So Jiang Mian accompanied her grandmother back to Jiangnan. Not long after, her grandmother was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Jiang Mian returned to Kyoto and worked harder than last time. He took on all kinds of roles and took on all kinds of scenes, but in the end, he couldn't keep his grandmother...

Jiang Mian's heart always feels very soft when she thinks of her grandmother.

The cheerful old woman in her memory was already so far away from her.

Later, she struggled to get into Kyoto University and began to wander around alone, supporting herself.

Pulling back her divergent thoughts, she nodded, “Around June next year."

Sister Ning sincerely hopes that Jiang Mian will be well. She is willing to work hard, and with the great god Ji Zhixiu protecting her, she doesn't have to worry about finding a way out in this circle.

If she could bring Jiang Mian out, she could also exhale in front of her old friend.

"Then you have to think carefully about your future plans, since you still want to take this path. I won't say much else. I will let you know when there is good news."

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Ning, for your hard work."

"Stop doing this, don't be poor." Sister Ning said, but she couldn't stop smiling.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mian found a few movies with high scores this year and played them.

Watching other people's performances is also a way of learning.

When Ji Zhixiu came back from get off work, she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Sleeping face is peaceful, gentle and beautiful.

A small dried fish was placed next to her. It was much more alert than Jiang Mian.

As soon as the door opened, it knew that Ji Zhixiu was back. With a sweep of his tail, he jumped off the sofa.

That lazy energy was the same as Jiang Mian's usual.

Ji Zhixiu took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He walked to the sofa and held the woman's head with his big palm, pinching Jiang Mianqiong's nose with evil intentions.

Jiang Mian woke up soon after having difficulty breathing. She opened her misty eyes and saw Ji Zhixiu waking up quickly.

She buried herself in his chest and said sweetly, "I fell asleep while watching a movie."

"Have you eaten?" he asked.

Originally, a nanny was arranged here, but Jiang Mian didn't like strangers in the house.

Ji Zhixiu simply quit. He was usually the one cooking, and occasionally Jiang Mian would do it himself. As for hygiene, he hired an hourly worker.

Jiang Mian shook his head, "I haven't eaten. Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

Jiang Mian rolled his eyes and withdrew from his arms, "Then you eat with me."

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Ji Zhixiu always seemed to have infinite patience in front of Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian thought for a while and asked his opinion, “Would you like to go to the food court behind our school?"

Behind their school is a food street. Even though it is winter vacation, it is not closed. The food there is of high quality and low price, and there is always no shortage of diners.

"Go change clothes." Ji Zhixiu said.

Jiang Mian nodded, randomly found a down jacket, put it on the two of them, and went out.

Kyoto is in the north, and when we came out, snowflakes were falling again, and they were falling one after another.

Jiang Mian likes snow very much and has never seen it once in all the years he has been in Jiangnan. Until now, when I stay in Kyoto, every time I see snow, it still feels so fresh.

She quietly rolled down the window, caught a few flakes of snow, and closed the window again.

The air conditioner is on in the car.

Warm.

Ji Zhixiu has never been to the food court of Jiang Mian School, but he still goes there often in their school.

Jiang Mian directed him to drive to the nearest place. Unexpectedly, there were so many people in their food street. Ji Zhixiu searched for a long time before he found a parking space.

Jiang Mian pouted, "It's really not easy to eat this meal."

"Have you thought about something to eat?" Ji Zhixiu turned off the car.

“Let’s eat hot pot, we have to eat hot pot in winter!”

"good."

Jiang Mian was much more experienced than Ji Zhixiu in this area, so she pulled Ji Zhixiu away.

When we got off the car, the snow had stopped.

There are many people in the food street, and it seems that no matter what happens, it can't stop people from pursuing delicious food.

Jiang Mian held him tightly and walked through the crowd. Ji Zhixiu looked sideways at the little girl, and the fatigue in the company gradually disappeared.

Jiang Mian took him to an old Sichuan hotpot restaurant.

I don’t know how long it has been open in this area. Jiang Mian and his roommates often come here for dinner, and they even got a membership card together.

As soon as she came in, the landlady saw her.

A naturally beautiful girl like her attracts attention wherever she goes as if she has her own light source.

Her eyes fell on the man beside him, and the landlady greeted her with narrowed eyes, “You are still coming to my place after the holiday. Who is this?"

Jiang Mian smiled familiarly, "Aren't you thinking about your aunt's family? This is my brother."

Ji Zhixiu didn't say anything when he heard this, but his expression became visibly cold.

Jiang Mian stayed calm and changed the subject, “Auntie, is there still room to sit?"

The landlady thought to herself, although they are handsome men and beautiful women, they really don’t look like real brothers and sisters.

She was busy looking at the order, chatting for a few words and saying no more, “It's available inside, you go and sit inside."

Jiang Mian pulled Ji Zhixiu inside and found a table for two to sit down.

In the store, you scan the QR code to order, and Jiang Mian is really hungry right now. But remembering the man's solemn expression just now, she still said, “Unhappy?"

Ji Zhixiu remained silent, his thin lips pursed tightly.

Jiang Mian was not afraid of his cold face at all. She held her face in her hands, her peach blossom eyes turned up at the end, and her eyes were flowing, “I'm not wrong, aren't you my beloved brother?"

She could always tug at his heartstrings easily. Ji Zhixiu sighed, "Let's order."

After coaxing him, Jiang Mian opened WeChat and scanned the code to enter the ordering center, and asked, “What do you eat? Or is there anything you don't want to eat?"

"casual."

It's annoying for girls to say this, and it's not much better for boys to say this. Jiang Mian angrily asked, "What do you mean casually?"

She handed the phone to Ji Zhixiu, "Here you go."

Ji Zhixiu took the phone with his long, jade-like fingers and clicked on it to place the order in a short while.

"So fast?" Jiang Mian was surprised.

"We all ordered one." Ji Zhixiu said casually.

Jiang Mian glanced at him, "It's too much to eat."

"Pack it up and take it away." He said concisely.

Jiang Mian got the phone back and found that Ji Zhixiu paid the bill with his closeness.

Her payment password is very simple, just a few numbers coming back and forth.

After three years together, Ji Zhixiu had seen him a few times. He had a good memory. He just tried it, but Jiang Mian still hadn't changed.

When the two of them got married, Ji Zhixiu arranged it for her.

But Jiang Mian had money of his own and never thought of spending his money.

She put down her phone and went to the snack table to get some snacks.

Being able to open so well near a university town, this store is naturally very affordable. The snack table was fully stocked. She took some snacks and mixed two plates of dipping sauce.

Passed it to Ji Zhixiu, "Try my brew."

Ji Zhixiu has never eaten in a restaurant like this. The store is not very nice but it is clean. The space inside is cramped and there are only about ten tables and chairs. One glance to the end.

He reached out and took it, and soon put the pot bottom and several plates of food on it.

The bottom of the pot is a Yuanyang pot, and Jiang Mian is an authentic Jiangnan native.

She is the kind of person who wants to eat spicy food but is not very intolerant of spicy food, so Yuanyang Hotpot is very suitable for her.

Vegetarian dishes are easy to cook, and Jiang Mian happily eats them in a bowl.

She enjoys spending time with Ji Zhixiu. If she ignores the fact that they are not in love, she will often have the illusion that she is happy and complete.

The bottom of this hotpot becomes spicier the more you eat it, Jiang Mian already knows this. She had prepared plum juice early in the morning, but the room was too hot, so she unbuttoned her down jacket to reveal the turtleneck sweater underneath.

A few drops of sweat broke out on his forehead. Jiang Mian had thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

In the mist, Jiang Mian took a chopstick of pork belly and put it into Ji Zhixiu's bowl, “Try it, is it delicious?"

Her bright eyes looked at Ji Zhixiu expectantly.

Ji Zhixiu took a few bites from Shanruliu and said honestly, "It's okay."
