Wen Jiujiu became increasingly angry as she spoke: "I thought the boss was a reliable man, and he just abandoned you like this without even asking about you."
“We don’t ignore it; we call them frequently.”
Zhen Tian took another bite of corn; it was sweet.
"What good is making a phone call?"
Since falling in love, Wen Jiujiu has realized how wonderful it feels to be in love. She's unhappy even if she's away from Zhao Zeyuan for a short while.
“Don’t you think he only shines on that stage? I want him to stay that way.” Zhen Tian tossed the corn stalks aside, clapped her hands, and said, “Everyone, enjoy your meal. I’m leaving now; I have class this afternoon.”
"Isn't your sister-in-law eating with us?"
"Let's finish eating before we leave."
"Eat something, eat something."
"No, I'm going back to school. My roommates are waiting for me." Zhen Tian turned to Feng Li and said, "Brother Feng, I'll have to trouble you to look after the studio."
"Of course."
"Bye-bye."
"Wait." Zheng An rushed out from the crowd again, holding a small plate in his hand: "Here, have it all, finish it."
The plate contains meat that Zheng An just grilled.
Zhen Tian grinned, thanked them with a smile, and then carried the plate back to school.
Before I could even step into the university, Yang Tao intercepted me at the school gate.
"Come on, come on, follow me."
"Where are we going?" Zhen Tian was pulled along and ran away, completely bewildered.
"Go to the outer court."
What are you going to the Capital Foreign Languages Institute for?
The two schools are very close, only a ten-minute walk or a five-minute run.
"Huff...huff..." Zhen Tian gasped for breath, leaning on her knees. "Stop running, we're here."
Yang Tao searched everywhere.
"There, there, look!"
She pointed to the large screen above the main gate of the university: "Look quickly!"
Zhen Tian looked up following Yang Tao's finger. The large screen at the school gate, which was usually closed, was now open, and it was showing Ji Yuzhi's program.
"I saw on the forum that every big screen in the capital city was playing my idol's show on a loop, so it seems to be true."
Yang Tao led Zhen Tian around half of the Capital University of Foreign Languages, and on the way they bumped into four large screens under the teaching building, all of which were playing yesterday's episode of "This Country".
"I didn't expect the principal of Beijing Foreign Studies University to be so supportive of my idol's work," Yang Tao exclaimed. The school was so big that walking around half of it was the limit. They then returned to the school the way they came.
"He must be very happy that Zhizhi is going." Zhen Tian recalled that when Ji Yuzhi left, he was called in for a talk by the principal, which lasted for a whole morning: "He takes it very seriously."
“That’s true, there’s nothing strange about it.” Yang Tao nodded, completely understanding: “If I were the principal, what an honor it would be for a student from a foreign language university to become a diplomat. Not to mention bringing glory to one’s ancestors, at least it would be a very prestigious position during his tenure.”
Along the way, everyone they met mentioned Ji Yuzhi. Compared to before, this time the commotion was clearly much bigger.
This is truly stepping into a realm unknown to everyone and even considered sacred.
No one even dared to talk about it with harsh words.
"I'm so envious of you," Yang Tao nudged Zhen Tian. "That man is just too amazing."
Zhen Tian pursed her lips: "I have absolutely no idea, but I miss him very much."
...
Ji Yuzhi replied to the text message in the evening.
Zhen Tian had just received the text message and hadn't even had a chance to read it when she received a video call from Ji Yuzhi.
"Zhizhi." Zhen Tian sat up in bed, haphazardly ruffled the stray hairs in front of her, and smiled brightly.
"Sweet."
"I watched your show yesterday, you're amazing! Waaah! Now so many people outside are talking about my man." Zhen Tian said coquettishly, holding her phone.
Jin Yaya glanced at her, then withdrew her slightly envious gaze.
Jiang Wei snorted.
Yang Tao accidentally stumbled upon them, rolled her eyes, and thought, "Why won't they give up? These two are such a pain."
"Why didn't you tell me about your appearance on the show? I might not have even seen it if Taozi hadn't seen it."
Ji Yuzhi had just taken a shower, and his hair was still wet.
There was a meal on the table; it wasn't fancy, but it was plentiful.
"I don't really feel like there's much to say." Ji Yuzhi picked up his chopsticks, took a mouthful of rice, and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's all just part of the job."
"You just had dinner?"
Zhen Tian glanced at her wrist; it was almost seven o'clock.
"Yes, I just had a meeting."
Ji Yuzhi eats quickly, but with an air of elegance, and doesn't appear to wolf down his food.
"Eat slowly, eat more meat, you've been eating too many vegetables," Zhen Tian reminded him, her eyes fixed on him.
"Eating less oily food at night is good for your health."
"What do you mean by 'eat less'? I can tell how much weight you've lost. Eat all the meat." Zhen Tian squinted her small eyes, watching him eat. The way he ate reminded her of herself when she was a child, and Ji Yuzhi couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at? Are you making excuses?"
"No, I just remembered how you didn't like to eat when you were little, and I fed you bite by bite."
He didn't mean anything by it, but Zhen Tian interpreted it differently.
She blushed and said shyly, "But you're not here with me, so I can't feed you."
Ji Yuzhi was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking through the context, he understood. He chuckled and readily agreed, "Then wait for me to get back..."
Zhen Tian agreed very readily: "Okay, I'll fatten you up when you come back."
After a few seconds, she couldn't help but ask, "Now that you're on the show, does that mean you're coming back?"
He remained silent for a while, then shook his head: "It won't work in the short term."
"Why? It's almost been half a year!" Zhen Tian felt anxious, as if something was scratching at her.
"We need to do some pre-production work for the show." Ji Yuzhi smiled, his eyes warm: "Sweetie, I'm not omnipotent either. I can't afford to make mistakes on a show like this."
"I understand." Zhen Tian said dejectedly, "I won't rush you anymore. Just do your best to prepare. Don't embarrass me."
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
Ji Yuzhi probably had nothing to do in the evening, so he chatted with Zhen Tian for a long time.
Finally, she fell asleep to Ji Yuzhi's coaxing during a long-awaited story.
...
The next day, in the middle of class, Zhen Tian received a phone call.
It was a voice call from the editor.
"Boss, the website has contacted the investors. After several rounds of communication, the investors have agreed that you can be the animator for the animation. However, the investors have one condition: they want to meet with you."
"See me? Why do you want to see me?"
"Maybe we need to discuss the details with you. After all, making an animation is quite complicated. This isn't my area of expertise, so it's hard for me to explain why." The editor sounded hesitant. "Besides, the later handover will require you to contact the investors directly, so meeting in advance would be convenient."
