Chapter 28 28. Lip-syncing “Why are you in such a hurry to go home?”…

Xiao Yichi curled the corners of his lips upon hearing the voice, and his gaze did not linger for even a second.

The sun had not yet set, and the residual heat fell on my shoulders, burning my skin.

Mi Yanyan was speechless, lowering her eyes and tugging at the hem of her skirt. The makeup artist handed her a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said with concern, "Madam, please get in the car first. It will be easier for you to remove your headdress."

She agreed and followed him towards the RV. Shi Jingzhou reached out to help her hold up her skirt, but she ignored him and walked past him, leaving his five fingers hanging in the air.

Serves you right.

Mi Yanyan changed her clothes and took off her accessories, and only then did she feel like she could breathe a sigh of relief.

Sitting down and thinking back, there are very few photos of Shi Jingzhou, whether in the villa or in Shi's parents' residence.

Considering all the signs today, it is really difficult for him to take wedding photos. His reluctance to cooperate is within a reasonable range and acceptable.

Ruisi Bio is in a critical period of transformation. Racing against time is his usual style, and it is also human nature to rush to finish filming due to time constraints.

only.

She felt that it was unnecessary to put on an act of affection in front of Yu Wan and Xiao Yichi.

The uncontrollable hostility every time she met Xiao Yichi made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Our friendship as childhood friends for decades is pure and innocent, and I don't want anyone to smear or attack me, not to mention that he is my husband.

Yu Wan noticed Mi Yanyan was in a bad mood. With a smile, she sent the makeup artist away and sat her down beside her. "You can't blame him," she said. "When we were in school, my mom always said every year that Xiao Yichi would marry Yanyan when he grew up."

After saying this, he raised his arm and nudged the worried-looking bride, then comforted her, "Men are always competitive."

Mi Yanyan curled her lips speechlessly, not knowing where to begin to express her complicated emotions.

It's not just because Shi Jingzhou and Xiao Yichi have been at loggerheads several times, but also because they have another marriage to go through, but they still feel that both sides are completing their tasks.

A very powerless feeling of frustration.

Through a car window, the photographer was flipping through photos with his camera.

The setting sun shone onto the screen. Shi Jingzhou stood tall and straight, squinting his eyes to look at the original film in the small frame. His gaze was indifferent, as if the people in the film had nothing to do with him.

The photographer stepped onto both steps at once and asked, "Madam, do you have any special requests for the retouching?"

Mi Yanyan smiled and replied, "P, please be thinner."

A woman who is determined to be strong throughout her life, no matter what time it is, always keeps thin. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the man outside the car add, "It's better to be natural."

Mi Yanyan was too lazy to pay attention, so she sent a big red envelope to the photographer privately and edited the message: Just edit me, don't worry about his life or death.

The photographer held up three fingers from a distance, and the two smiled at each other.

There was a light cough behind him, and Shi Jingzhou turned his head to look at him.

Xiao Yichi raised his finger and said, "If you're not going up, please move aside."

Shi Jingzhou was about to take a step when Mi Yanyan's voice came from the car. She leaned over and shouted, "Xiao Yichi, get in quickly."

He chose to retreat silently again, making way for the narrow passage.

The person behind climbed on board instantly, and a gust of wild wind blew past in front of him, making his cheeks dry and uncomfortable.

Yu Wan was sending photos through the air. There were dozens of today’s highlights. With a wave of her hand, they were all sent.

Shi Jingzhou felt his phone vibrate for a moment. He clicked it and saw that his AirDrop was not turned off. A very friendly invitation message appeared on the phone screen.

He accepted it with pleasure.

"Did it send it?" Xiao Yichi refreshed the photo album but saw no update. He asked Yu Wan, "I didn't receive it."

"I sent it. I clicked on the two closest Bluetooths, you and Xiaoyan."

Mi Yanyan took a look around and felt that sending red envelopes was unnecessary. The pictures taken by Yu Wan with his mobile phone were all perfect and the characters were impeccable.

Especially Shi Jingzhou, with his bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, he is fresh and handsome. He doesn't smile much, but his eyes are like water.

What a passionate look.

Good looks are indeed a natural advantage. At first glance, outsiders would definitely not be able to tell that they are not very familiar with each other.

When she saw the last few photos, Mi Yanyan frowned and asked, "Why are there graduation photos?"

"Huh?" Yu Wan took the phone, and a few young faces mixed in with the wedding photo group, "My hands slipped a lot just now."

A few days ago, I was sorting out photos and found their high school graduation album. I took a few photos and posted them on WeChat Moments to reminisce about our youth.

Yu Wan took the opportunity to tease one of the parties involved, saying, "Xiao Yichi, are you stupid? Standing next to Xiaoyan like Xu Chang's left and right bodyguards."

I remember that in the middle of summer, their class took the last group photo in the last row. The teacher was sitting in the first row with his face flushed from the sun. The students were forcing themselves to smile, and their hair was stuck to their necks.

"It was 40 degrees Celsius in South City that day, and Xiaoyan almost got a heat stroke."

Xiao Yichi placed a glass of ice water on the table. Mi Yanyan thought for a moment and replied, "It's true. That was the first time I had heatstroke in my life."

"Of course. I'm afraid you'll faint again when taking pictures." It's like two bodyguards are standing on both sides staring at you.

She wore a blue and white school uniform and had shoulder-length hair, her bangs messed up by the wind. She smiled sweetly, her cheeks and lips were a delicate pink.

Shi Jingzhou zoomed in and out, sliding his fingertips through the wedding photos. In contrast, she suddenly looked unhappy in today's photos, and the upward curve of her lips seemed a little forced.

The RV door was closed. Shi Jingzhou did not hear their conversation. His eyes were only focused on the lingering man in the photo.

He gestured to the photographer to open the door, then slowly got into the car, facing the three people whispering to each other, his eyes locked on Mi Yanyan, and said, "Going home?"

The watch showed 3:15, which was different from the time he had planned. He couldn't waste a minute.

Mi Yanyan remembered that Shi Jingzhou said he had something else to do, and said considerately: "Okay, you are busy."

The filming was over, and they were just finishing up the work, so they didn't need any newcomers. Seeing that he didn't move, Mi Yanyan urged him again, "Hurry up and go, isn't it urgent?"

The area within sight was too densely populated, and Shi Jingzhou couldn't speak out what he was so anxious about.

Youyou stared at her curled eyelashes. At this moment, her makeup was a little more charming than usual. Because the makeup was overlapped many times during the filming, it was slightly faded, making her look soft and tender.

"You're not leaving?" he asked again.

"No, I've asked them out." Mi Yanyan answered simply, and then continued to look down at the restaurant the three of them had just discussed on their phone, without any intention of inviting them.

Yu Wan patted Mi Yanyan's leg under the table and asked tentatively, "Is Mr. Shi going to have dinner with us?"

"He has something urgent to do and needs to leave." Mi Yanyan replied.

"We can have dinner together." Shi Jingzhou replied.

Two completely different answers came out at the same time. Shi Jingzhou showed no intention of giving in. He unbuttoned his suit, stood aside casually, and said, "Where are we going to eat?"

Mi Yanyan smiled, turned her head and glared at Yu Wan, saying in code - why are you calling him?

Yu Wan blinked, pursed her lips into a line, and replied - Can't you see that your husband is angry?

Mi Yanyan pouted, as if responding - What does it have to do with me if he's angry...

The two sides were in a stalemate. The phone on the table rang and displayed the Jianuo front desk. Xu Chang's voice sounded in the car.

"Xiao Yan, the Yangzhou branch will open next week. The new director took office today. Li Xun arranged for us to go over and provide support. Is that convenient?"

She pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

In the past six months, Jianuo has been expanding its stores frequently, setting up branches one by one in cities around Nancheng. The founding team itself is short of staff, and all management positions have to take on multiple roles. Nearly half of the hospital directors are not only busy with diagnosis and treatment operations, but also have to attend business receptions in between.

Mi Yanyan had wanted to talk to Li Xun recently, but her grandfather's illness came on suddenly and it was delayed until now.

Now that the Yangzhou branch has been completed, there's no turning back. There's no rush. She asked the person on the other end of the phone, "Director Xu, when are we leaving?"

"I'm always available. I have plenty of high-speed rail tickets."

Yangzhou is less than a hundred kilometers away from Nancheng, and the fastest high-speed train takes 20 minutes to get there. Mi Yanyan quickly planned the time in her mind and replied, "Let's leave in two hours."

Xu Chang agreed and said he would book the tickets and hotel.

Working overtime temporarily and missing meals, Shi Jingzhou's mind kept jumping around with the key words Xu Chang, business trip, hotel, and X.

There was a deep meaning in his eyes, and he asked in a gentle tone, "Send you there?"

"No." She refused directly.

It takes one and a half hours to drive to Yangzhou, which means three hours round trip, so of course I would choose to take the high-speed rail.

The scene fell into silent awkwardness again. Mi Yanyan smiled at the photographer and apologized, "Let's discuss the film selection online."

The staff agreed that it was no problem. It was Shi Jingzhou's special request to expedite the delivery on the spot. The fee was equivalent to three times their salary, and they were extremely happy.

Yu Wan felt a little disappointed. He had finally gotten a job but had to reschedule. Seeing that Mi Yanyan didn't want to go, he consoled her warmly, "Our company is the worst. We even have business trips on weekends. We can leave at any time. We're no better than you guys."

After he finished speaking, he noticed Shi Jingzhou looking up, and then he realized that the big boss was right in front of him. He changed the subject and said, "But the treatment is good. Our boss is generous, and the business trip allowance is very high. Everyone wants to get a chance to go on a business trip."

Mi Yanyan couldn't stop laughing. She had never seen Yu Wan so flustered, repeating the same things over and over again.

Shi Jingzhou had a dull expression, a serious look that made it impossible to tell whether he was saying good or bad. He sat down in the seat next to him and told the driver to drive back to Zhongshan Villa first.

After hurriedly packing their luggage, Yu Wan and Xiao Yichi left first. Mi Yanyan sat on the sofa and prepared to call a taxi when a dark shadow stood beside her.

"Take you to the station."

Shi Jingzhou had changed out of his suit, leaving only a black shirt on, and his hairstyle done that morning was still a little more formal than usual.

She looked up, a piece of cold white skin was exposed from the open neckline, and below that, the curve of the chest muscles pressed against the fabric. She did not refuse again and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll work hard for you."

I was in a hurry when taking the photos. After the photos were taken, I had to eat and send her off. The boss's schedule was really a mystery.

Shi Jingzhou took the box and put it in the trunk. She quietly sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt before Shi Jingzhou got in.

He liked to help her tie her belt, but Mi Yanyan thought it was unnecessary. The space in the car was limited, and the distance was too close, making both of them feel awkward.

Sure enough, the first thing Shi Jingzhou did when he got in the car was to glance at the seat belt. Finding there was nothing else to do, he didn't drive and stared into Mi Yanyan's eyes.

The eyelashes cast a small shadow, and the eyeshadow is light brown with a tiny sparkle.

He moved his body slightly and raised his hand, pinching the scattered gaps at the corners of his eyes.

Tear.

The glue is very slightly pulled against the eyelid and then separated.

Mi Yanyan covered her eyes unexpectedly, and some uncivilized words almost came out of her mouth.

"Why are you ripping my false eyelashes?"

Shi Jingzhou pulled out a piece of paper, wrapped the small black hair, and replied calmly, "It's about to fall off."

"Real or fake?" Mi Yanyan didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She carefully checked the other one in the mirror and found it was intact.

The man reminded in a low voice, "Do you need help on the other side?"

Mi Yanyan muttered "No need", and then took off the other side herself. Without the false eyelashes, her eyes instantly looked smaller.

Shi Jingzhou's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he felt relaxed physically and mentally, and quickly drove out on the road.

The two of them walked in silence all the way. They passed through the tunnel and viaduct and arrived at the departure exit of Nancheng South Station in less than half an hour. The queue of vehicles was about ten meters long, and they walked steadily and slowly in the traffic.

Mi Yanyan glanced at the time. It was neither too early nor too late. She arrived half an hour early. She rubbed her hands and turned to thank her. "I'll leave it to you and Aunt Chen to take care of the cat and dog these few days. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

When the car reached the middle section of the road, the passenger doors were opened one after another. At the entrance, Xu Chang leaned against the beige concrete pillar and saw Shi Jingzhou's car moving forward through the glass.

Mi Yanyan met the warm gaze outside the window, smiled and nodded, then unbuckled her seat belt and pushed the door. When she was getting out of the car, her left wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Shi Jingzhou's eyes fell on her lips. He wanted to kiss her but didn't have time. He couldn't stay for more than thirty seconds. He finally decided to speak.

"I said I had something to do in the afternoon and wanted to go home with you."

Mi Yanyan didn't understand and was about to get off the car and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to go home?"

He looked at me with ulterior motives and lip-synced.

Mi Yanyan could only hear the incessant honking of the car behind her, which pierced her ears, a sound unprecedentedly sharp and anxious.
