Ji Yan sat among a pile of fluffy things, hugging a panda. Ning Wei slowly moved closer, the distance between them only a finger's width. But slowly, Ji Yan felt the other person getting closer and closer, and he could feel the other person's warm body temperature on his shoulder.
Then, his hand was grasped by the other person.
At first, it was just a tentative gesture, with her index finger hooking onto his. But slowly, Ji Yan felt his fingers being separated, and Ning Wei's hand firmly grasped his entire hand.
The other party didn't make any further moves; they simply held on.
Ning Wei's hands are the kind of hands that are used to playing guitar. They are not particularly smooth and delicate, and there is a thin layer of calluses on her fingers, but they are very warm.
Under the sunlight and with reporters' cameras following them, it was difficult for them to hold hands for long. Ning Wei seemed to want to make up for the time lost, holding Ji Yan's hand tightly and refusing to let go.
He even moved the panda plush toy from Ji Yan's hand and placed it between the two of them. When Ji Yan touched the plush toy, he also touched it from the left and right. Gradually, he and Ji Yan became almost inseparable.
The atmosphere inside the room was very quiet, with only the occasional meow from the conch shell in the next room.
There is a special cat tree there, as well as cat toys and treats.
After a while, Ning Wei suddenly spoke up: "The conch shell isn't here right now."
"Huh?" Ji Yan didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
“You can kiss me again, it won’t stop you.” Ning Wei’s tone was very serious, as if she were talking about something that was not important at all.
Ji Yan: "..."
Teacher Ning, I never expected you to be this kind of person!
Ning Wei's bluntness shocked Ji Yan a little, but it was indeed her personality—even though his ears turned slightly red when he said it, he still said it.
Ji Yan turned his head to look at the other person.
Ning Wei didn't say anything more, but there was indeed an ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. The heat was gradually rising, and their clasped fingers seemed to be getting hot. Ji Yan's gaze slowly met his, and then moved down to his nose and then his lips.
With a slight exertion, Ji Yan's other hand unconsciously landed on Ning Wei's waist.
Then, he lowered his head and, under the other person's gaze, pressed his lips to theirs.
The room grew even quieter.
The moment they parted, he saw Ning Wei's flushed face. Ji Yan didn't look in the mirror to see himself, but he thought that his expression at that moment was probably exactly the same as hers.
However, the next moment, before Ji Yan could react, Ning Wei moved very quickly and "attacked" him again.
Ning Wei was clearly not very good at this move. Ji Yan felt their faces collide, which hurt a bit, and Ning Wei almost bit his lip.
The temperature seems to have gotten a bit warmer.
Actually, the temperature hasn't been high lately, but when Ji Yan is together, he feels like his and Ning Wei's faces are like two fireballs, and even just looking at each other is burning hot.
The two of them increased the distance between them slightly.
Ji Yan was playing with a panda plush toy, while Ning Wei was holding another one.
Fortunately, the conch suddenly came out of the inner room. It jumped directly onto Ning Wei and wanted her to play with it, but ignored Ji Yan, who was trying to be friendly to it. Ji Yan only lightly touched the cat's tail—because he felt that the conch's tail was fluffy and spread out, like a round dandelion ball.
But he continued to be disliked by the cat.
"Want to see a movie?" Ning Wei asked.
He had collected several older foreign films, and Ji Yan chose one of them, a classic romance film.
Ji Yan didn't watch many movies before, but after becoming an actor, he developed the habit of watching movies. This romance film was a big favorite for the Oscars that year. Not only was the script excellent, but the actors' performances were also remarkable. While watching the movie, Ji Yan would silently think about what kind of filming techniques the main actors used in their scenes.
Ning Wei was focused on watching the movie, but when Ji Yan occasionally glanced at him, he would turn his gaze back.
"The movie was very sweet," Ji Yan concluded.
Ning Wei nodded. The female lead in the movie was lively and cheerful, and the male lead was handsome and dashing. They were the kind of personalities that he and Ji Yan could never cultivate.
But when Ning Wei watched the male lead kiss the female lead, she couldn't help but... want to kiss Ji Yan again.
He used to not care about such things, after all, he had almost no experience in dating, and all his time and energy were spent on music and creation.
But he has an impulse now.
He would want to kiss the other person, to see their smile, and to see his reflection in their eyes.
He wanted to do something that didn't fit his personality.
...
Ji Yan didn't stay at Ning Wei's house until very late. After watching the movie, he went home. Before leaving, Ning Wei gave him a polar bear and a Siberian bear plush toy and also took out several CDs from his CD collection to give to Ji Yan.
Ji Yan noticed that Ning Wei also had the air of someone who was buying things when she was giving gifts.
He guessed that the other person probably didn't know how to treat him well, so they kept giving him gifts, and the other person seemed very happy every time he received a gift.
Although Ning Wei's emotions weren't very obvious, Ji Yan could still tell.
Upon reflection, he realized that he and Ning Wei had spent quite some time together, and he had gradually developed the ability to read Ning Wei's mind.
"Thanks, Teacher Ning." Ji Yan pinched the other person's cheek, indicating that he didn't need to see him off anymore.
Don't forget to write the letter.
Ji Yan gave an OK sign.
Although Ning Wei's disguise was exposed, the two still maintained the habit of writing letters to each other. They both agreed that reading letters gave them a sense of peace. Things that couldn't be expressed on WeChat seemed to bring them a lot of peace when they were conveyed to paper through the traces of pen.
Ning Wei was one of Ji Yan's earliest "fans".
Even though he now has tens of thousands more fans than before, he still remembers the encouragement he initially received from them.
During the filming of "The Vanishing Murder," he and Ning Wei continued to correspond. Ji Yan would complain about Song Jing on WeChat and also vent in his letters. He felt that he would become much more magnanimous after talking with Ning Wei.
Perhaps it was because Ning Wei was too calm that the other person's personality unconsciously influenced him.
...
After filming the movie was completed, Ji Yan's next main task was to prepare for "Wings'" concert.
Xie Mingxuan, Lu Wei, and Fang Yu have been preparing for some time, but Ji Yan is the slowest.
There were no problems with singing. All three of them were very familiar with the songs on the album "Mist". Even the new songs they prepared for the concert became familiar with them after several rehearsals.
The biggest problem is—dance.
Previously, whether it was New Year's Eve concerts or commercial performances, "Wings" often performed standing and standing more often. However, for concerts—even if a concert only had about three fast songs—the dance part still made Ji Yan very tired from practicing.
He knew very well that Xie Mingxuan and the others had been accommodating him during the previous performances.
Even if "Wings" includes dance in their performances, they usually choreograph a simpler dance so that Ji Yan can keep up with the rhythm.
But concerts are different.
At least this concert is different.
This is Wings' first concert since their debut. Most of the contestants who participated in "Idol Century" with them have held concerts, unless they are focusing on developing their careers in the film and television industry.
The group that debuted later than them, Super Idol, also recently completed a tour in several major cities.
For the fans, this concert by "Tsubasa" was something they had been looking forward to for a long time, but it was also something that "Tsubasa" had been looking forward to for a long time.
As a member of "Wings", Ji Yan never thought that his own actions would affect the quality of the concert. He only wanted the concert to have a better effect, even if he memorized the choreography until he was about to throw up and spent every day questioning his life.
“You’ve turned around, that’s good.” Fang Yu moved a chair over to instruct Ji Yan, while Xie Mingxuan stared at him with a serious expression, correcting him whenever Ji Yan made a mistake.
"Teacher Ji, don't be discouraged. Your practice speed is much faster than I expected."
Fang Yu and Xie Mingxuan never thought that Ji Yan's dancing was a weakness. On the contrary, they always felt that Ji Yan was quite talented in dancing, but he just lacked confidence.
Dance practice does need to be continuous, but Ji Yan is often away on set for months at a time, so he naturally can't keep up with dance practice.
"One more set."
Seeing that Ji Yan had rested enough, Xie Mingxuan reminded him.
Ji Yan winked at Fang Yu.
Old Xie was a complete devilish instructor. He put the same seriousness he had for songwriting into dance. When he watched Ji Yan practice, he not only pointed out every single movement that Ji Yan didn't do right, but he also strictly limited Ji Yan's rest time.
Ji Yan felt that Lao Xie really had the potential to become Ying Jie's successor.
"Da da da—"
After the music started, Fang Yu quietly counted the beats for Ji Yan. Although Ji Yan complained, he was very serious when it came to practice.
At first, his grasp of the movements was completely inadequate, but through repeated practice, his control of the rhythm became more stable. This time, Xie Mingxuan no longer found any shortcomings in Ji Yan's movements. Ji Yan even gradually mastered the aura displayed in this dance, which was clearly a sign of his growing confidence.
"Teacher Ji is awesome!" Fang Yu and Ji Yan gave each other a high five.
"I'm going to lie down for a while." Ji Yan let out a long sigh. "I feel like I'm completely useless."
"Don't worry, you're still alive." Fang Yu patted Ji Yan on the shoulder and handed him an ice cream.
Do you have popsicles? I want to eat a popsicle.
"This is a precious ice cream that costs 4 yuan wholesale. Isn't it better than your 1 yuan popsicle?" Fang Yu handed the ice cream to Xie Mingxuan.
Xie Mingxuan: "..."
If Ji Yan takes this ice cream, will he not get any ice cream at all?
Fang Yu responded, "That's right."
"What kind of ice cream does Devil Xie eat?!"
"that is!"
Ji Yan lay sprawled on the floor, crunching loudly as he bit into his popsicle.
"Teacher Ji, watch your table manners."
"This is the eating style of someone who eats for 1 yuan. If you want the eating style of someone who eats for 4 yuan, go find Lao Xie."
Xie Mingxuan: "..."
Vote.
Whoever wants to be the captain can be the captain.
At Xie Mingxuan's strong request, the "Wing" team held a vote on the matter of changing the team leader.
The voting results are as follows:
In the first vote, I voted for Xie Mingxuan.
Xie Mingxuan received 3 votes, and Fang Yu received 1 vote.
In the second vote, I voted for Lu Wei.
Lu Wei received 1 vote, while the others abstained.
In the third vote, I voted for Fangyu.
Fang Yu received 1 vote, and the others abstained.
In the fourth vote, I voted for Ji Yan.
Everyone abstained.
Ji Yan: "..."
Ah, he sensed the discrimination from his teammates.
