Chapter 31: Sloppy Crying Cat Head Physical Contact, the more the better...
"I accidentally fell into the river, and my mother wanted to save me." Jiang Ziyi hugged his arms tightly and lied skillfully.
She had changed into dry clothes with the help of the policewoman, but her body seemed to be still immersed in water. There was a layer of frost on her eyelashes that could not be shaken off, making her feel sleepy.
"You are such a fool, running to the river beach so late at night. How dangerous!" Her blunt words were quickly believed.
"Go back with your mother quickly. Be careful next time, okay?" The police officer on duty handed her back to Lin Shuyao.
Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but shrink back.
In front of outsiders, Lin Shuyao smiled at her soothingly, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes opened stiffly.
"Wait, your name is 'Jiang Ziyi', right?" A serious-looking female police officer suddenly stopped the two of them.
"Comrade police, haven't we already explained the situation..." Lin Shuyao just wanted to get away quickly.
"Someone called the police to report that this little girl is missing. As her guardian, your phone was turned off for 48 hours in a row, right?" the policewoman asked sharply.
"I..." Lin Shuyao was stunned.
"Ziyi, you scared me to death!" Li Aomei rushed over and hugged Jiang Ziyi in her arms.
After confirming with his eyes that she was safe and sound, little Gu Zhi's tense shoulders finally relaxed.
His lips were still a little pale.
It was not until this moment that Jiang Ziyi felt that the coldness that swept through her limbs and bones was beginning to dissipate.
Although the investigation at the police station would be extended indefinitely, he would still have to face Lin Shuyao's criticism after returning home.
But her strongest fear in the river water close to 0 degrees finally faded away in Li Aomei's warm embrace.
——That’s the fear of disappearing.
She was afraid that she would die so easily and alone, with no one identifying her body and no trace of her existence left.
It turns out that there are still people who remember her and are even willing to spend time looking for her...
She was hit by this sudden happiness, but didn't know how to react.
Two weeks ago, when Gu Zhi celebrated his birthday, he took advantage of the break when the crew members were sharing the cake and mysteriously called Jiang Ziyi aside.
He took out a small rectangular gift box and motioned for her to help open it.
There was a sky blue phone watch lying inside. Jiang Ziyi had just seen an advertisement for this brand on TV a few days ago. It was obviously very expensive.
"It's pretty cool. Do you want me to help you put it on?" Jiang Ziyi didn't understand why he had to open the gift in front of her alone.
"This is for you," Gu Zhi said somewhat disappointedly, "I remember you like the color blue very much, right?"
"It's your birthday, why did you give me something?" Jiang Ziyi took his hand back. "Is your birthday wish to be Santa Claus?"
"I already have a watch of this brand. Don't you have your own mobile phone yet? With this, we can chat even if we don't meet in person." Gu Zhi shook the black watch strap on his wrist.
"It's too expensive. I can't accept it." Jiang Ziyi took a step back.
"Just think of it as a birthday present for me." Gu Zhi spoke softly and coquettishly in a clear boyish voice.
"My birthday present for you is on the table with the cake." Jiang Ziyi said coldly.
Lin Shuyao gave her very little pocket money, and she saved up her lunch money for a long time before she was able to buy the wooden dinosaur music box in the corner of the window.
You better cherish me.
"Okay, okay," Gu Zhi lowered his head in disappointment, "Eh, that's strange, can you see the numbers displayed on the screen?" He raised the dial again.
Jiang Ziyi looked over subconsciously and heard a "ding" sound, as if something was suddenly unlocked.
"Haha, facial recognition is successful, this watch has recognized its owner!" Gu Zhi raised the corners of his mouth proudly.
"Can I cancel after recognizing...recognizing the owner?" Jiang Ziyi's knowledge of electronic products is extremely limited.
"No, you are already deeply bound!" Gu Zhi said half seriously and half threateningly, "If you abandon it, it will become a wild watch without an owner."
Although he knew that this was a scam, Jiang Ziyi still felt that the word "abandoned" was too harsh.
"I'll return the money to you." She carefully folded the watch strap and put it in the inside pocket of her cotton coat.
"I have added my contact information to the address book. You can also set up an emergency contact, usually the parent's..." Gu Zhi stopped talking.
"No need for emergency contact," Jiang Ziyi said calmly, "I'm not in a situation where I need help."
The watch was eventually discovered by Lin Shuyao.
"Who gave you this?" She scratched the screen nervously with her nails.
“…I bought it myself.” Jiang Ziyi squeezed out the sound from his throat with difficulty.
"You don't even dare to ask me for money for meals, where did you get so much money?" Lin Shuyao sneered, "Is it your young master who gave it to you?"
"You even lied to your own mother for such a little thing. You're such a jerk." She stretched out her hand and threw it lightly. The watch face sank into the trash can full of wine bottles with a clear cracking sound.
Jiang Ziyi slowly turned his eyes away.
It was still abandoned.
————————————————————
Gu Zhi probably didn't call Jiang Ziyi's watch phone first, but instead asked the director for Lin Shuyao's number. After a while, he and Li Aomei drove to her home.
"Why would Shi Yi go into the water for no reason?" Li Aomei still didn't believe her explanation.
"It's the dry season now, and the tide isn't very high. Even if we walk along the river beach, there's no way we'll be discovered by the old man fishing in the river."
"I fell off the bridge." Jiang Ziyi said before Lin Shuyao could speak.
"My hat was accidentally blown away by the wind. I tried to reach for it, but I lost my balance."
"The gap in the guardrail on the bridge is very large. It is possible for her to get out with her body size. And the old man did fish up a hat." The older policeman said calmly.
"Then this doesn't match what the little girl said before?" The policewoman flipped through the transcript. "Yiyi, I want to talk to you alone. Can we go to the next room and sit for a while?" She tried to soften her tone.
"I'm very tired now and want to go home with my mother early." Jiang Ziyi lowered his head in the sight of everyone.
"Good girl." Lin Shuyao hugged her thin arms.
"Then can I talk to Ziyi for a few words?" Gu Zhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Just the two of us would be fine."
"This..." Lin Shuyao tried hard to suppress her anxiety.
"Mom Shiyi, can we wait for the child for ten minutes?" Li Aomei nodded at her son.
"I didn't lie, I really fell into the river accidentally." Jiang Ziyi repeated.
She wanted to look him in the eyes to make her words more convincing, but failed.
"It's very cold in the river, right?" Gu Zhi asked in a hoarse voice.
"You... must be very scared falling down alone, right?" He frowned with heartache and gently held her cold, clenched fist.
"Did you choke on a lot of water when you were sinking?" Gu Zhi's breathing was as rapid as hers.
"Jiang Ziyi, you don't have to keep holding on. You can cry." Gu Zhi looked at her steadily.
"I'm sorry... This is the only thing I can do for you now." He blamed himself even more than she did.
Jiang Ziyi remained silent, burying his head in his neck.
In front of the camera, Jiang Ziyi can always easily call upon her tear glands, which is a pure acting skill.
Her real tears should have dried up long ago.
But a misty rain still fell on the boy's not yet strong enough shoulders.
————————————————————
Jiang Ziyi opened her eyes. The mirror above her head reflected the moonlight. She felt a furry touch on the fingertips of her left hand, which came from a fluffy fox tail.
The door was ajar, and warm yellow light seeped in from outside. Jiang Ziyi tightened his arms, hugged the whole fox in his arms, and rolled over tiredly on the bed.
Although the fox is soft, it is not warm enough...what about Gu Zhi?
Jiang Ziyi acted almost instinctively.
She walked two steps forward barefoot on the tile floor, then turned around and put on her slippers.
"Gu Zhi?" She called his name at the door, her voice louder than expected.
Jiang Ziyi heard the harsh sound of mopping when the chair was suddenly pulled away. About a second later, Gu Zhi appeared in front of her like magic.
"Are you awake? How do you feel?" He hugged her gently, his heartbeat falling into her ears.
Steady, powerful and reassuring.
Jiang Ziyi buried her head in his neck silently, and she soon felt moisture in the corners of her eyes again.
"Can I cry?" she asked Gu Zhi.
Her answer was a kiss between her eyebrows.
Be careful and cherish it.
"…God is so abominable," Jiang Ziyi first vented his anger, "Am I a bad person? Why did he let me get the same disease as Lin Shuyao?"
"I don't like the psychologist I saw before. He kept talking about my original family... What's the matter? Has my life been determined since birth?"
"…My memory has become so bad since I took the medicine. I almost forgot our anniversary. I used to be very sensitive to numbers."
"I hate sleeping. I will have nightmares as soon as I fall asleep. But it's even worse when I can't sleep. My heartbeat is very noisy, my breathing is very noisy, and the sound of the second hand moving on the wall is also very noisy. Will it stop making noises if I die?" she asked in a trance.
"But I don't want to die. I haven't saved enough money yet. I want to buy an island and separate all the annoying people from the sea... Gu Zhi, you can go to the island and bring our dog with you." Jiang Ziyi's voice gradually became tearful.
"I want to believe that everything will be alright. I've tried so many times... but now I feel so stupid and weak. I feel like I've turned back into that eleven-year-old girl."
"Lin Shuyao will definitely be very proud if she knows this, right? Every curse she cast on me has come true... Do you think I can kill Jiang Shengchao before I commit suicide? I wish I didn't have to be born. When will there be a law that prohibits psychopaths from having children?"
Jiang Ziyi cried so hard that she was out of breath. Gu Zhi's shirt was wrinkled by her, like a used napkin.
Soon she could no longer utter recognizable syllables, and Gu Zhi patted her on the back, responding one after another.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ziyi finally raised his face.
Half of her face was covered with red marks and the other half with tear stains, like a scribbled crying cat head.
Gu Zhi's eyes were also red, and he rubbed her face with his fingertips.
The cat's head became even more scribbled.
"Ziyi, you are already amazing." Gu Zhi leaned down slightly and touched his forehead with hers.
"As soon as you realized that something was wrong with your condition, you went to the hospital for diagnosis."
“Even though you hate the psychiatrist and the side effects of the medication, you still insist on treatment…Without anyone to talk to and unable to get more help, you work hard alone for a long, long time.”
"Even when you were at your most emotional and out of control, you never allowed yourself to hurt others."
"…I know you want to protect me in your own way." He told her clearly, word by word.
"You are still working actively, living actively, helping others solve problems... The only thing you need to do now is not to take all the responsibilities on yourself."
"There is one thing I want to say until you are completely convinced," Gu Zhi looked into her eyes.
"You are not alone, you have me by your side."
————————————————————
More than an hour had passed since Gu Zhi suddenly interrupted the live broadcast.
The live broadcast room is still crowded.
[Just finished overtime, what did I miss? ]
[Gu Zhi was about to share with us a photo of him and Jiang Ziyi when they were young, but Jiang Ziyi suddenly called him, and then the two of them disappeared together]
[The key point is that Gu Zhi is not the one who is walking away!] often! hasty! busy! The chair flipped over and I almost tripped over the computer cable.]
[And the sound of Jiang Ziyi calling him... is very sticky... You can listen to the playback yourself, at 48 minutes and 57 seconds]
[That is to say, the emotionally stable actor Gu panicked, and Jiang Ziyi, who never showed weakness, started to act like a spoiled brat.]
[Ahhh, give a thumbs up to the class representative! ]
[I guess these two must have kissed! ]
[I think I can make a bolder guess...]
[Why did you turn off the microphone? You left netizens stranded like this for nearly two hours. You young couple are truly guilty of a heinous crime! ]
[Maybe something unexpected happened...]
[withdraw! Withdraw immediately! When we hold hands, it can only be sweet, not cruel! ]
[Wait...are you sure that's Jiang Ziyi's voice? The reception is so bad, it could be someone else, right? ]
[Haha, I've heard it over a hundred times. It's definitely Jiang Ziyi. If it wasn't for her, I would die tomorrow]
[You above... swore this poisonous oath...]
[I will defend my CP to the death]
[I will defend my Cpx2 to the death]
[Hey, there’s a picture]
[Gu Zhi, you are finally back! ]
[I thought we had to wait till all night! ]
"I'm sorry, everyone. Just now there was a small problem with Ziyi, but it has been resolved." Gu Zhi took a breath and asked, "Where were we talking about?"
[Brother, why is your shirt so wrinkled?]
[Your neckline is loose, but your red eyes make up for it]
[What on earth were you two doing...]
[How…how did you solve it?]
[Is it what I think? ]
[I think I might be too conservative...]
[They have to be a real couple!] ]
[Holding your hand…Holding your hand…Hehe…]
————————————————————
The next morning, Xu Yanhui called Jiang Ziyi into the conference room alone.
"I took over your file from your original doctor," Xu Yanhui smiled gently, "Thank you for your trust."
"First of all, let me make it clear that according to the contract, my main job in this variety show is marriage mediation, and psychological counseling is not entirely included."
“Therefore, this part will be independent of the content of the program broadcast, take up extra time, and charge extra fees.” Xu Yan emphasized with a strong sense of returning to class.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Ziyi said sincerely.
"It doesn't matter. It won't be so hard when I think about the hourly wage." Xu Yanhui winked at her.
"Everything related to your illness is your personal privacy... Do you want to make it public or hide it through the show?"
"I want to find a suitable opportunity to make it public," Jiang Ziyi thought for a moment, "Gu Zhi has already discovered it, so there is no point in hiding it. Moreover, if I still want to continue my acting career, this is an issue that I must face."
"Okay," Li Yan nodded approvingly, "You can tell me anytime you're ready."
"In the first part of the treatment, it will focus on these four words:" Xu Yanhui stood up and wrote on the whiteboard with a marker:
“Active treatment.”
"I have been taking medication and go to the psychological clinic regularly..." Jiang Ziyi explained hurriedly.
"The 'positive' here refers to a positive mentality," Xu Yanhui said bluntly, "Although you have been taking medication and psychological treatment before, you have always been pessimistic and kept making the worst-case scenario plans."
“In other words, all of your decisions are made with the certainty that your bipolar symptoms will continue to get worse.”
"That's why you chose to divorce Gu Zhi and face this terrible consequence alone."
"I do feel that my condition will continue to worsen." Jiang Ziyi said softly.
"Then let's test whether this hypothesis is true," Xu Yanhui drew a simple table, "What is the main reason for you to have this negative thought?"
"My biological mother," Jiang Ziyi was silent for a while before continuing, "I watched her symptoms getting worse little by little."
Before she was eleven years old, Lin Shuyao would just cry or get angry at random times and speak bad words to her; as Jiang Ziyi entered puberty, Lin Shuyao's verbal outbursts gradually turned into physical violence, accompanied by strong tendencies towards self-harm and suicide.
"I understand." Xu Yanhui marked a series of serial numbers in the table.
"Yiyi, next time you have this habitual thinking, you can try to refute yourself with the following three pieces of evidence:"
"First, your mother's bipolar disorder worsened without any medical intervention, and you have been cooperating with the treatment from the beginning."
"Second, your mother mistakenly attributed her emotional breakdown to you, causing you to bear a great deal of her mental stress - that is, she even exposed a side of herself that was worse than her true self to you."
"The 'facts' you witnessed with your own eyes as a child were exaggerated and distorted."
"Third, apart from you, your mother has no one to rely on, but you are different now--" Xu Yanhui's tone was gentle but firm.
"Gu Zhi, I and your friends will always be by your side."
————————————————————
After breakfast, the six guests of "Breakup Lover" sat around the coffee table again.
“In the previous episodes, we conducted memory tests, relationship tests, and rapport tests between couples,” the host concluded.
"Today, it's time to test how well we understand each other."
"Please complete the test papers in your hands within the specified time, and then give them to your partner for review."
Jiang Ziyi took the test paper and found that the questions were all related to Gu Zhi's habits and preferences.
From daily routines and exercise routines to hobbies and food taboos...
Gu Zhi usually gets up an hour earlier than her, prepares breakfast, and then goes back to bed to stay in bed with her for more than ten minutes.
Gu Zhi used to take a bath during the day, but since he found out that Jiang Ziyi didn’t like to use a hair dryer after washing his hair, he changed his bathing time to the evening.
In this way, every time he helped Jiang Ziyi dry her long hair, the moisture on his body could almost evaporate.
...and it can also prevent her from getting annoyed by his nagging and having a water fight with him in the bathroom one day.
Gu Zhi was good at many sports, but the only thing Jiang Ziyi was willing to do was take a walk.
They like to walk on the wild paths in the park, where they can encounter strange-shaped rocks, unnamed plants and various small animals.
As for hobbies...horror movies definitely count.
Jiang Ziyi would specifically choose the midnight show, so that after watching the movie, he and Gu Zhi could scare each other on the way home.
When passing by the residential area, in order to prevent disturbing others, Gu Zhi would hug her when he could no longer bear it.
Jiang Ziyi answered nearly half of the questions quite fluently, but got stuck when it came to his specific preferences.
"What's your favorite dish?" She whispered secretly to Gu Zhi beside her.
"What's your favorite color?" Jiang Ziyi skipped several spaces.
"Just write whatever you want, I'll judge it as correct." Gu Zhi said without any principles.
"Report! Someone temporarily tampered with the standard answer!" Yu Huating, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, raised his hand to report.
"Didn't you just quietly ask your wife, 'Do you still like pork stewed with vermicelli as much as you did in college?'" Jiang Ziyi immediately exposed.
"I am setting things right while you are confusing right and wrong. The latter is obviously worse!" Director Yu argued.
"But I really don't have clear preferences in many areas," Gu Zhi said innocently, "It doesn't matter what I fill in."
"This is called 'Danren'," Du Xiaofang explains.
"No, no, there are so many questions, you have to give me a few correct answers, right?" Jiang Ziyi's test anxiety exploded, "Don't you have a hobby that you fall in love with at first sight, that is unwavering and irreplaceable?"
"Do you think so?" Gu Zhi rubbed her head.
Jiang Ziyi: ...When showing affection, can you please consider the occasion?
Surprisingly, the first person to hand in his paper was Wang Zihe.
Luo Pan took it with a smile on his face and read his awkward handwriting line by line, but his expression gradually turned cold.
"My favorite flower is not lily of the valley." She turned the test paper upside down on the table.
"That's impossible. I remember it very clearly. We were supposed to go out on a date that day, but I overslept and made you wait in the rain for more than half an hour," Wang Zihe said affectionately. "When I passed by the flower shop, I bought a bunch of lilies of the valley to make amends for you..."
"Every time you're late, you always find excuses and never give me an apology gift," Luo Pan said while choking up. "There's no such thing as lily of the valley... You probably thought she was your ex-girlfriend!"
The remaining four people looked around awkwardly.
Jiang Ziyi: This table is a real table.
Fortunately, Gu Zhi quickly handed her the written topic:
The handwriting is neat, the key points are complete, and the details are appropriate.
At first glance, it is clear that there is hope of achieving full marks.
What surprised Jiang Ziyi the most was the part about food taboos.
"I still don't like celery, do I?" She wasn't sure herself.
"Your preference is somewhere between eggplant and garlic sprouts." Gu Zhi said strictly, "You think its taste is a bit strong."
Jiang Ziyi is a person with a keen sense of taste and can make do with food.
Once a girl enters the growth spurt, she tends to grow taller. In order to maintain her petite figure, Lin Shuyao often starved her.
So as long as it can fill his stomach, Jiang Ziyi will eat anything.
When she grew up, out of respect for the cook, she would stuff every dish into her mouth equally.
The sweetness of onions is very pungent, the soft eggplant is a bit disgusting, the taste of raw tomatoes is very astringent, and when chewing animal organs she can always associate them with the corresponding parts.
Jiang Ziyi thought that this was a trivial matter that only she would know.
How did Gu Zhi discover it?
Is it that when the two of you go to a restaurant to order food, you infer her preferences through the process of elimination; or do you pay attention to how often she picks up her chopsticks, or even the expression on her face after tasting?
While feeling emotional, Jiang Ziyi also felt a little depressed.
She knew less than half of Gu Zhi's understanding of her, mostly because of the habits he changed to accommodate her and the overlapping interests of the two.
She couldn't help but want to put their feelings on the scale and compare them again.
"I think this is actually very interesting," Gu Zhi said at the right time, "because in my eyes, food is just a substance composed of corresponding nutrients."
"But you will praise potatoes unconditionally, eat a fish with bones with ease, chew corn with increasing aggression, and save the tips of strawberries for last." He said with a smile.
"You often make this world lovely."
[What touching details...I think Yiyi is so cute too! ]
[I also want to praise potatoes! Bean gate! ]
[I'm already in Jiangmen and Doumen at the same time]
[It’s so easy to get confused]
[Uhhhhh, that’s not that ginger! ]
[Gu Zhi…I can only say that you deserve to have a wife]
"What's there to brag about..." Jiang Ziyi said awkwardly.
"Oh." Du Xiaofang sighed.
"I remember you don't like onions, ginger and garlic!" Yu Huating said sensitively.
"And then? You insist that every grain of rice is hard-earned and you don't allow me to be picky about food." Du Xiaofang rolled her eyes.
Yu Huating: Why is this season's show so popular? If it was last season, I would have won over those male guests in seconds just by not cheating and not being a gigolo!
After a rather chaotic marking process, Gu Zhi, who answered the additional questions correctly, received the highest score.
Yu Huating, Jiang Ziyi and Du Xiaofang followed closely behind.
Luo Pan left most of the questions blank out of spite, but he still scored twenty points higher than Wang Zihe.
"The recording of this season of 'Breakup Lover' is about to be halfway through. We will use these two episodes to conduct a mid-term review of the current emotional status and marital relationship trends of the three couples." The host announced the follow-up arrangements at lunch time.
"This afternoon, all the guests will meet with their families and friends at the agreed location to exchange their feelings."
When Jiang Ziyi walked into the coffee shop, Chen Yuan was already waiting for her at her seat.
A majestic tabby cat passed by the wooden shelf behind the bar, its four paws quietly landed on the ground, and it rubbed Jiang Ziyi's leg with its tail as if inadvertently.
Then she rubbed it a second time, and a third time...until Jiang Ziyi's fingers ran along its round head and fur all the way to its back, the tabby cat purred and got out of her way.
[The baby is really popular with small animals! ]
[Cats, dogs and roe deer all love to cuddle with her! ]
[My wife is a Disney princess]
[Gu Zhi goes to the toilet and speaks!] ]
Chen Yuan, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing a white sweater dress, sat quietly by the window.
She and Jiang Ziyi, one is elegant and dignified, the other is bright and flamboyant. When they sit together, it's like the sun and the moon shining together, making people's eyes brighten up one after another.
Chen Yuan has always been a talkative person, and Jiang Ziyi didn't urge her to speak. The two of them sat face to face in silence, but it didn't seem awkward at all.
The tabby cat jumped onto Jiang Ziyi's knees, as agile as a little tiger.
It slowly stomped around twice with its paws, stopped in a satisfactory position, and lay down in a ball.
Jiang Ziyi touched it from time to time.
"My agent asked me to ask you how to create a good couple." Chen Yuan suddenly asked.
"Me?" Jiang Ziyi pointed at himself in confusion.
"She said that if I could sell it half as well as you and Gu Zhi, I would have been more famous than the show." Chen Yuan stirred the American coffee with a coffee spoon.
"So, is there any trick?" she asked seriously, supporting her chin.
"We're not actually selling it on purpose, we're just...letting things take their course?" Jiang Ziyi's answer was also very serious.
"Maybe it's because we've been married... But after we got married, the whole internet was hounding us for being difficult to deal with... I'm afraid we'll have to try getting a divorce again." Jiang Ziyi taught without reservation.
"Getting married first and then getting divorced can create a CP. I understand." Chen Yuan nodded vigorously.
[One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it…]
[Wrong knowledge has increased! ]
[Two cute girls]
[It is indeed difficult for Chen Yuan to have a CP feeling with her partner male actor]
[I always feel like she is very reluctant when filming intimate scenes]
[But her face looks like a romantic heroine]
[I really didn’t expect Chen Yuan and Jiang Ziyi to have such a good relationship]
[Didn’t they have a disagreement on the set before? ]
Jiang Ziyi met Chen Yuan on the set of a fantasy drama. She played a vicious female devil in red, while Chen Yuan was the male protagonist's senior sister.
After the series was broadcast, the two beautiful female characters were often compared together. On the eve of the finale, Jiang Ziyi became a minor sensation online with his tragic flashback to his role as a villain, and the level of discussion was tending to overshadow that of the positive characters.
So the media are saying that Chen Yuan and Jiang Ziyi have a hostile relationship.
But the opposite is true.
The hero of the fantasy drama "Penglai" looks righteous, but has an extremely greasy personality and always flirts with young actresses without any sense of propriety.
Jiang Ziyi had experienced his virtues in the previous crew. From the first time she met Chen Yuan, she was worried that she would be harassed by that man.
Chen Yuan looks obedient and innocent, and she doesn't like to talk. She looks like an easy target to bully.
So, Jiang Ziyi, who had never liked dealing with people, began to force Chen Yuan to go in and out of the set with him, even going to the toilet together.
The two of them couldn't talk to each other for a long time, but they got along well.
It was not until the greasy man drunkenly knocked on Chen Yuan's hotel room door late at night that Jiang Ziyi rushed over in a hurry, only to hear a scream - Chen Yuan directly broke his wrist.
Jiang Ziyi then learned that Chen Yuan had not only studied classical dance for ten years, but also practiced karate for twelve years.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you knew this!" Jiang Ziyi, still wearing pajamas under his coat, stood in the corridor awkwardly.
"I'm worried that after I tell you, you won't come to me on your own initiative." Chen Yuan lowered his eyes silently.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the two gradually developed from partners to close friends.
"Sorry, ladies, I'm late!!!" Mao Yuanzhan rushed in like a whirlwind.
"Wow! Mimi, slurp slurp." She greeted the tabby cat on Jiang Ziyi's lap enthusiastically.
The tabby cat turned around and faced her with its butt.
"Wuuuu, wuuuu, Ziyi~Yuanyuan~Mimi dislikes me!" Mao Yuanzhan alone created a noise that could only be made by three people.
The reason why she met Jiang Ziyi and Chen Yuan was very simple.
—-—Mao Yuanzhan is a face lover.
"Our Ziyi seems to be in much better spirits." Mao Yuanzhan looked at Jiang Ziyi carefully.
"You have a better relationship with Gu Zhi, right? When I took promotional photos for you last time, I felt there was still hope."
"That's great," Chen Yuan said softly, "A Mao and I were really worried before."
"When you dragged your suitcase out of the house, your eyes were dead," Mao Yuanzhan said with an exaggerated expression.
"Is it that scary?" Jiang Ziyi frowned.
"Yes."/"Yes!" they said in unison.
"Do you remember that I said at the time that I was planning to get a cat at home, so I installed several mobile video cameras?" Chen Yuanqi asked.
"Yeah, what happened to your cat later?" Jiang Ziyi asked.
"There is no cat. Yuanyuan installed a pet surveillance camera so that she can keep an eye on you. She is afraid that you will be upset." Mao Yuanzhan told the truth.
Jiang Ziyi: ...No wonder I couldn’t find a pair of scissors when I opened the takeaway at your house! !
“…Thank you for your help.” Jiang Ziyi indeed lived in a daze during that period.
It's not like she has never thought about committing suicide.
"If you want trouble, it's Gu Zhi who should be troubled." Mao Yuanzhan shook his head and sighed.
"I even wonder if he has learned any interrogation techniques. Every time he asks me about your recent situation, even though I want to keep it a secret for you, he still gets a lot of information out of me."
"That's purely your fault." Chen Yuan said mercilessly.
"What? Didn't you let out any clues at all?" Mao Yuanzhan put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction.
"I didn't leak it. I confessed it voluntarily." Chen Yuan looked out the window.
Chen Yuan used to think that Gu Zhi was a fake person.
He was impeccable in his dealings with others, his smile was always just right, his mood swings were almost non-existent, and there was neither ambition nor desire in his eyes.
Until one day, Jiang Ziyi came to visit her crew.
Gu Zhi seemed to suddenly "come alive".
He wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, his eyes couldn't help but glance in Jiang Ziyi's direction, and he performed so hard that it seemed like he was spreading his screen.
Chen Yuan looked at him in surprise, as if he was looking at a robot with a faulty program.
But Jiang Ziyi was still unaware of it. Chen Yuan thought to himself that there is always someone who can defeat someone else.
"You are Yi Yi's friend, right?" This was the first time Gu Zhi had a conversation with her outside of work.
"Well, we have a good relationship." Chen Yuan said concisely.
Gu Zhi sighed softly.
Chen Yuan thought that this thoughtful man would try to get information from her like any other suitor.
Out of protection of her friend's privacy, she had already prepared a refusal.
But Gu Zhi only asked one question.
"Jiang Ziyi is a great person, isn't he?"
He was more boasting than seeking confirmation.
Chen Yuan was slightly stunned.
Jiang Ziyi is certainly a great person, and Chen Yuan couldn't find a more exquisite summary for a moment.
"Yes, she is very cute." Chen Yuan replied.
Hearing her words, Gu Zhi's smile was so bright that it was dazzling.
This is not a program failure, it feels like it is struggling to grow flesh and blood... Chen Yuan slandered inwardly.

"You're going to confess voluntarily, right? Which side are you on, Chen Yuan?" Jiang Ziyi stomped his feet in dissatisfaction.
The tabby cat meowed softly at her.
"Stand on your side." Chen Yuan said decisively.
There is actually no difference, Gu Zhi is on your side anyway.
Jiang Ziyi and his two companions were having a great conversation, while on the other side, Gu Zhi and his companions were waiting until their tea had gone cold.
The members of his family and friends group today are his childhood friends, Liu Feilu and Zheng Haonan, who grew up together in the staff housing compound of Shuimu University.
Gu Zhi has been much more stable than other children of his age since he was young. He is both worried about and disgusted with his two childhood playmates.
He has prevented many risky behaviors that posed serious safety risks, but he was still forced to become an accomplice to many low-IQ pranks.
Especially when they were in the second year of junior high school, Liu Feilu and Zheng Haonan fell in love with each other while playing around.
Gu Zhi had to pass messages, deliver letters, and act as a wingman, while also covering up their premature love in front of the adults. He was completely exhausted.
Now, the yellow-haired girl and the toothless boy have become a real stupid couple.

"Oh, you bad baby!" Liu Feilu began to fight back.
The two of them kept fighting, twisting like two maggots in front of Gu Zhi.
“……”Gu Zhi slowly closed his eyes.
"Have you and Ziyi reconciled now?" Zheng Haonan asked.
"If you keep talking like that, I'll really take action." Gu Zhi smiled, but his eyes were chilling.
"Have you and Yi Yi reconciled now?" Zheng Haonan swallowed fearfully.
"The core problem is being dealt with," Gu Zhi's tone softened, "it will be fine."
"Hey, the suggestion I gave is good, right?" Liu Feilu took the credit for no apparent reason.
“…What advice did you give?” Gu Zhi was already starting to have a headache.
"The more physical contact, the better." Liu Feilu said mysteriously, "No matter how fierce the quarrel is, just touch each other and it's over."
"My baby and I never quarrel, we just cuddle with each other~" Zheng Haonan took the opportunity to show off.
This time he had to beat him, Gu Zhi rolled up his sleeves silently.
He suddenly remembered how Jiang Ziyi cried and buried her head in his arms last night.
Physical contact…?
Gu Zhi pondered:
Should I hug her more?
