"How much longer do we have to wait?"
It wasn't until she heard Zhou Ji's voice that Jiang Yue seemed to snap out of her daze, "I'm not watching anymore."
Jiang Yue had only seen Zhao Shuyan a few times in the group's building. Since that day, she had never run into Zhao Shuyan again, and the system had not given any notification.
The plot seems to have stalled there.
Nothing has changed.
On several occasions, when Jiang Yue was recording a program in the station's recording studio, Zhou Ji would show up without saying a word, sitting quietly in the audience. Even when he was recognized by the audience, he remained calm and composed.
The news of their reconciliation had already spread like wildfire.
No one bothered with those trivial matters anymore. However, Zhou Ji, who didn't like to put his private life on the public eye, gradually started posting photos of his lover on his private account.
Most of them never showed their faces.
They were all just snapshots he took casually.
The light and shadow in the photos seem to float with love, clear and bright. Sometimes it is a girl bending down and talking to a child with a gentle expression, and sometimes it is her looking longingly at the candied hawthorns in the glass cabinet, wanting to eat them but hesitating. It often makes people smile.
Jiang Yue is always very strict with herself when she's going to be on camera.
She would intentionally diet to lose weight, and if she felt too guilty about eating, she would drag Zhou Ji to the gym to exercise and burn calories. However, Jiang Yue was lazy and couldn't stick to it for long, even at the gym. After running for a while, she didn't want to move anymore and would curl up in the sofa chair for resting, playing on her phone while watching Zhou Ji exercise.
The man's lean, muscular physique is very pleasing to the eye.
The lines are smooth and beautiful, and they also appear very vigorous and powerful.
Jiang Yue glanced at it for a while and then looked away; she was not one to be a foolish person who indulged in male beauty.
After leaving the gym, Jiang Yue finally understood why Zhou Ji looked so thin yet so energetic.
It's all from regular training.
Both of them were sweating, so after taking a shower and changing their clothes, they went out for a walk again.
Now, whenever Jiang Yue goes shopping with Zhou Ji, she can always accurately find the small shop selling candied hawthorns among all the shops.
She doesn't like to eat hawthorn.
But I quite like eating strawberries.
It's sweet and sour, which suits her taste.
Jiang Yue couldn't move, staring intently at the fresh strawberries, swallowing hard. "I want to eat some."
Zhou Ji pulled her along, and they were about to go inside.
Jiang Yue grabbed his arm again, looking pitiful as she tried to control her desires: "But I need to control my weight, I can't get fat."
If you gain weight, you'll look worse on camera.
This is something she cannot tolerate.
Zhou Ji still pulled her into the store. His voice sounded more convincing and reliable than ever before. "Then you try a bite, and I'll eat the rest for you."
Jiang Yue was secretly tempted, "I really will only take one bite."
I bought a skewer of candied strawberries, but it was only sweet and I couldn't taste any sourness.
After Jiang Yue finished eating one candied hawthorn, she reluctantly handed the rest to Zhou Ji, looking at him expectantly. Zhou Ji held the candied hawthorn and felt that if he really took a bite, she might grimac and jump up in pain.
Zhou Ji asked very seriously, "Can I eat it?"
Jiang Yue nodded, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart: "You eat it."
Zhou Ji rarely eats these sweet snacks, but when he took a bite, Jiang Yue's face indeed showed an expression similar to heartache.
The next moment, the man bent down, pried open her lips, and put the sugar-coated strawberry between her lips and teeth.
The juice stained the girl's already luscious lips red.
The man casually used his fingertip to wipe away the strawberry juice from the corner of her lips. Her skin was snow-white, but now it looked as if she had applied color, with a pinkish tinge to her white skin.
The remaining strawberries.
In the end, Jiang Yue ate it all up, bite by bite.
After returning home, Jiang Yue began to regret her actions and blamed Zhou Ji for her failure to control her desires.
Zhou Ji accepted it calmly.
He is always very proactive in admitting his mistakes.
There is no head that cannot be bowed, nor is there a need to adopt a superior posture.
In front of your loved one, you don't need any extra dignity.
While Jiang Yue was taking a shower, Zhou Ji was on the balcony making a phone call.
That evening, Zhou Ji shared a few more photos on his profile picture-less account: a bunch of candied strawberries and a photo of Jiang Yue's back.
There are no words.
Only photos.
Clean, neat, and simple.
It doesn't seem to be trying to express anything; it's just a simple record.
Memory can preserve every moment of love; the emotions at the time, the details of every expression, seem to be remembered clearly.
The comments section is full of shippers who are completely obsessed with the pairing.
"Mr. Zhou can't hide anything! The young couple has to post pictures of every date they have, sob sob sob."
"Seeing you two so sweet makes me feel relieved."
"Yueyue looks even more beautiful in her husband's photos."
"So, did they remarry?"
"It seems like they haven't caught up yet; they probably haven't caught up yet."
"I! I ran into them at the amusement park last weekend!! I'm absolutely sure I didn't see wrong, Jiang Yue was wearing an adorable bunny hat, but is that the point? Of course not."
"The key point is that Jiang Yue insisted on making Zhou Ji wear the same CP fox hat. Goodness, the domineering CEO is never this childish, so Zhou Ji looked helpless at the time, but he still bent down and let her put the childish fox hat on his head."
To prove that what the witness said was true, the witness also posted photos of the encounter in the comments section.
Jiang Yue wore a rabbit ear hat, which made her face look small, and her expression was also like that of an innocent little rabbit.
The man beside her had fox ears and seemed out of place; his face was cold and aloof, yet only his eyes were affectionate.
"The arrogant and aloof fox and his little rabbit wife!"
"Mommy, I'm so thirsty I'm going to faint."
"Is there anything Zhou Ji can't do? I'm still a bit shocked to see this photo."
“Our boss is really not like this at the company. Someone please save him.”
The photo was immediately shared in GR Group's private employee group chat.
Zhao Shuyan couldn't sleep that night, so she casually opened a group chat that she hadn't opened in a long time. She saw her colleagues having a lively discussion, and out of curiosity, she clicked on the photos that had already been circulating online.
She stared at the photo, blinking her sore eyes.
Forcing herself to let go of her obsession was also a painful thing. With the accumulation of one event after another, her final resentment turned into pain, which slowly fell with her tears, and then evaporated and disappeared.
She thought.
She will never have a chance.
There's no way Zhou Ji could like her; his world only has room for Jiang Yue.
Those favors could never be hers.
Zhao Shuyan's WeChat message pinged—
"Are you home? I bought some medicine, please open the door."
Zhao Shuyan said she wasn't feeling well today just to brush off her junior, but she didn't expect him to take it seriously. She looked at the words with teary eyes: "I agree."
Let's give it a try together.
At the same time.
The system's voice rang clearly in Jiang Yue's mind:
[Congratulations on successfully reaching the end of the Villainous Female Supporting Character Rescue System and surviving until the HE finale.]
