"Zhizhi, I've gotten myself into trouble."
Zhen Tian looked worried, but Ji Yuzhi seemed calm and composed, as if he had heard "What a nice day!"
"What trouble have you gotten yourself into?" Ji Yuzhi came out of the kitchen with a small plate in his hand, on which was a triangular piece of cake.
He came home early yesterday and went to Sweetie's favorite cake shop to buy her her favorite dessert, but because of yesterday's unexpected... well, perk, he completely forgot about it. By the time he remembered, it was already late, so he put it in the refrigerator.
Zhen Tian's eyes lit up when she saw the cake, but she quickly pushed it away with a righteous air: "Don't give it to me, I don't deserve to eat it."
Ji Yuzhi: "?"
He was surprised for a second, then chuckled and placed the plate on the coffee table.
He sat down next to Zhen Tian, took her small hand and kneaded it in his palm: "Tell me, what big trouble has made you not even eat cake?"
Zhen Tian pouted, looking at him with a pitiful expression: "Zhizhi... um~~~"
"Speak."
"My comic strip has been exposed; everyone knows it's about you and me."
Ji Yuzhi listened and nodded.
"Then what?"
That's all.
"Just this?" Ji Yuzhi was both amused and exasperated.
"Yes. This is a very serious matter. I drew it in great detail, including everything about you from childhood to adulthood, so that everyone will know."
"It's okay if you know." Anyway, he doesn't have anything to hide.
"I'm afraid it will affect your work." Seeing that he really didn't care, Zhen Tian felt a little relieved, and her eyes began to linger on the cake.
Ji Yuzhi didn't know her yet. He reached out and took the cake, handing it to her. Then, thinking it wasn't right, he took the cake back.
Zhen Tian: "Hmm?"
He held a small fork, picked up a piece, and brought it to her lips.
Zhen Tian opened her mouth to take it; it tasted familiar. Delicious.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression showed her liking for it.
"The higher-ups are aware of your comic book drawing. Since they investigated and didn't stop you, there's no problem." Ji Yuzhi put the last bite into her mouth, watching the cream on her lips being smeared by the fork, and quickly took a light peck on it.
Mmm, it's too sweet.
Zhen Tian didn't seem to feel anything when he ambushed her; she just glanced at him with her small eyes.
Don't overthink it.
"Oh." Zhen Tian nodded obediently: "Then the website asked me how I wanted to handle this, whether to make it public or..."
"Didn't you say you already know? How are we supposed to handle this?"
"We can make the dead seem alive, anyway, as long as we don't admit it, no one can do anything about it."
Ji Yuzhi understood what he meant, but he didn't want to do it: "It's okay, do whatever you want."
"Then I'll go public." Zhen Tian smiled. She didn't like lying, and one lie required countless others to cover it up; she couldn't do that.
"Whatever you say."
"Zhizhi, you are so kind."
She kissed Ji Yuzhi several times on the cheek before going to reply to the editor.
The reply to the edited message was very quick.
[Sweet on the tongue: Can be disclosed.]
[Edited by Xiaoyu: OK!]
[Editor Xiaoyu: Please respond on Weibo as well.]
The website doesn't issue statements casually, so it would be faster for Zhen Tian to issue a response.
Zhen Tian typed a lot of words in her hand and then deleted them.
Ji Yuzhi stared at her troubled expression, a smile lingering on his lips. He gently rubbed the back of her head with his hand, then picked up a book from the coffee table and continued reading.
The two snuggled together, each doing their own thing, yet there was a sense of peaceful contentment.
Zhen Tian agonized for two whole hours. If the post was too heartfelt, she'd find it cloying and overly ostentatious. If it was too concise, it seemed like she wasn't showing enough love.
In the end, she had no choice but to accept that the website would eventually explain itself, so she gave up trying.
[Sweet Tongue V: Mm.]
She simply posted a single word on Weibo.
I hadn't thought too much about it; I was just trying to avoid trouble.
But fans have a strong imagination.
He managed to explain a poignant and heart-wrenching story with just one word.
However, Zhen Tian didn't know either.
She felt that the "um" she typed was incredibly skillful. She basked in her own smug satisfaction for a while.
Ji Yuzhi's attention was drawn to her commotion, and he glanced at the time: "It's time to sleep."
"OK."
Having resolved the major issue, she felt a great sense of relief.
...
A few days later, it was two days before Ye Qingyan's tour.
With nothing else to do during the day, Zhen Tian packed her luggage.
I'll take Zhizhi to the airport when she comes back tonight.
Things have been calm lately, so Ji Yuzhi hasn't traveled abroad to attend conferences for a long time. He's been living a regular nine-to-five life.
Sweetie is also on summer vacation, so the two of them can spend every day together.
This sudden departure left her with a slight sense of reluctance.
When Ji Yuzhi returned, he saw the little girl sitting on her suitcase, looking dejected.
"What's wrong?"
"You're back!" She looked up and rushed toward him.
Ji Yuzhi opened his arms and caught the small cannonball rushing towards him, his hand also gently squeezing the back of her head to prevent her from getting hurt.
"I'm leaving now, and I'll be gone for several days. You'll miss me." Zhen Tian rubbed her forehead against his chest.
"Yes, I miss you." Ji Yuzhi wouldn't tell her that he didn't even want her to leave.
But because Tian Tian kept giving in and learning to be more sensible, he couldn't let her miss her friend's important day just because he was reluctant to let her go.
Maintaining a relationship requires compromise from both parties out of love.
They were both learning to grow through love. She grew up, and he couldn't fall behind.
"I'll be back soon. You're not allowed to sneak away, and you have to tell me in advance if anything happens."
"good."
Fortunately, Ye Qingyan's concert was held in China this time, otherwise Zhen Tian might not have been able to attend.
After a long, affectionate chat, Ji Yuzhi took her hand and led her away, saying, "Let's go."
When I arrived at the airport, Peach was already waiting for me.
Ji Yu put on a mask before getting into the car, otherwise it would be inconvenient for him to show his face.
"Don't go in. What if you get discovered?"
"It's okay, I'll be careful." Ji Yuzhi parked the car, picked up her suitcase, and led her into the airport.
"Sweetie, over here." Yang Tao waved to her. She was supposed to leave with her media colleagues; the company had bought them tickets. However, because it wasn't safe for Zhen Tian to go alone, she decided to pay for herself to go with Zhen Tian ahead of time.
When Ye Qingyan found out about this, she immediately bought first-class tickets for the two of them.
Yang Tao was a little embarrassed at first, after all, the plane ticket was expensive. But seeing that Zhen Tian accepted it without saying anything, she didn't want to be too pretentious.
She was determined to portray Qingyan as a once-in-a-century genius in this report, hoping to gain her more followers. This would be her way of repaying Qingyan.
"Have we been here long?" Zhen Tian waved to her.
"My idol!"
