Jiang Li had already seen the location of Lu Jiming's room, so she tiptoed to Lu Jiming's door.
I knocked gently on the door.
Although Lu Jiming had already lain down, he didn't dare to rest because he knew Jiang Li would come.
Hearing the noise, he sprang out of bed in a flash.
He quickly opened the door and let Jiang Li in.
The two of them moved very quietly, like thieves, afraid of alerting others.
After closing the door again, Lu Jiming gestured for Jiang Li to find a place to sit down, and then dragged over two suitcases.
Without Jiang Li having to lift a finger, Lu Jiming considerately opened the suitcase.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up as she looked at the two suitcases full of her favorite foods.
However, she didn't hold back and grabbed one at random, eagerly tearing open the packaging and eating it.
Hmm...
tasty.
After eating several, Jiang Li felt much better and finally had time to talk to Lu Jiming.
How did you get here?
"What do you think?" Lu Jiming asked in a low voice. "I think you should be able to guess without me saying it."
"Did Ayan send you?" The thought popped into Jiang Li's mind, followed by a questioning tone, "Then why didn't he tell me?"
"I guess some people are trying to be heroes and have made themselves weak and delicate. My uncle is too busy ordering this poor bastard around to even inform you," Lu Jiming said, his tone full of envy and jealousy. "Sigh, when will I ever get that kind of treatment?"
Jiang Li: "..."
As the beneficiary, she simply couldn't resonate with Lu Jiming's thoughts.
It feels so good to be favored.
"Oh no..." Jiang Li suddenly realized something, her expression instantly changing, "I didn't tell Ayan that my phone was confiscated. If he can't find me when he video calls me later, then..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiming suddenly laughed, his tone somewhat mocking, "Why would you worry about this?"
"Shouldn't you be worried?" Jiang Li looked surprised. "This is what we agreed on. It's unreasonable for me to stand him up and then leave him unable to find me."
“My uncle knows about your situation and specifically asked me to come and offer him some help. Do you think he wouldn’t know that your phone was confiscated?” Lu Jiming said, then couldn’t help but snort. “Besides, do you really think I came here just to bring you food?”
He hadn't thought much about it at first, but now...
The facts are clear: he's a complete traitor, a mere tool.
Just then, Lu Jiming's phone rang.
Video invitation.
sponsor……
It goes without saying who it is.
"Here." Lu Jiming handed the phone to Jiang Li. "It's for you."
"How come your phone is used to call... me?"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Li saw the display on her phone and swallowed the last two words.
Ah Yan called with a video...
That could very well be someone looking for her.
"Should I go out and give you two some space?" Lu Jiming asked in a sour tone.
"No need for that." Jiang Li waved her hand. "You're too conspicuous. If you run into someone you shouldn't, it'll be troublesome."
She can't just lose her foreign aid like this.
Lu Jiming: "..."
He didn't want to stay here and eat dog food.
Jiang Li answered the phone.
"Jiang Jiang, are you feeling better?" This was the first thing Lu Shiyan said as soon as the video call connected.
Jiang Li's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Ayan. With Ayan's energy boost, I feel much better now."
“You…” Lu Shiyan said in a doting tone, but with a hint of helplessness, “Helping others is a good thing, but you should also do what you can. When I’m around, you can do whatever you want, there will always be something I can do to help. But when I’m not around, you should take care of your health first.”
"I know, I'm fine, aren't I?" Jiang Li couldn't help but defend herself. "I did restrain myself a bit, but I'm just a little mentally exhausted, not as severely as before."
If it's that serious, she won't be able to get up now.
Lu Shiyan didn't argue with Jiang Li any further. There was no point in saying much about saving people; he could only tell Jiang Li to take care of herself.
So he changed the subject.
"This is your first time participating in a variety show recording. How does it feel?"
"At first I didn't feel anything, but then I found out that most of the eight people in the four groups were people I knew, so... it felt quite novel."
If Jiang Li's expression hadn't been so speechless, Lu Shiyan would probably have believed what she said.
“I didn’t expect you to participate in the program with Jiang Chengying and those two, but…” Lu Shiyan’s expression became slightly serious, “I didn’t expect that you and Chu Jiang would be so close. Are you two very familiar with each other?”
Although there weren't any particularly intimate actions between the two, based on Lu Shiyan's understanding of Jiang Li...
Jiang Li's feelings for Chu Jiang are definitely not ordinary.
Even the unconscious intimacy he exuded made him feel that the person held a very high position in Jiang Li's heart.
I have to say...
President Lu felt a sense of crisis.
"What?" Jiang Li didn't think much of it. She winked playfully. "Are you also a fan of Chu Jiang? Do you want his autograph?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
He wouldn't call himself a fan, but he had genuinely listened to Chu Jiang's songs.
I quite like a few of them.
But the thought of the delicate relationship between Chu Jiang and Jiang Li made him feel uneasy.
"Don't be shy, tell me, what's your favorite Chu Jiang song?" Jiang Li was completely unaware of the old man's inner thoughts, her mind still on the songs. "Tell me, and I'll have him record it for you. Then when you want to listen to it, you won't have to search for songs or change them; you can just play them in order."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyan felt even more heartbroken.
Just how good must their relationship be for Jiang Li to say something so matter-of-fact?
Despite his sour tone, Lu Shiyan spoke the truth: "I like songs like 'Returning to Dust,' 'Smoothing the Heart,' and 'Zen'... I really like these songs. Before you gave me the sleep-inducing talisman, I relied on these songs to barely fall asleep."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's lips twitched involuntarily.
Lu Shiyan's answer was something she never expected.
Although she had never heard Chu Jiang's songs before, as soon as Lu Shiyan mentioned the name, melodies flashed through her mind.
Chu Jiang's songs have a special series called Zen.
The songs inside can calm the mind, help you let go of your worries, and enter a peaceful and tranquil state.
And all those songs were written by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li didn't expect this either...
I was surprised to find that I had been involved with Lu Shiyan so early on.
Although they were unaware of each other at the time.
Lu Shiyan noticed that Jiang Li's expression was a little off, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Don't you like those songs?"
"Not really," Jiang Li shook her head. "I just didn't expect that these are the kinds of things you like."
It's quite remarkable.
