Ji Yubai spent more than half a year filming his previous drama.
When Jiang Nian came to Beijing to study, the film crew was rushing to finish filming, so he didn't have time to send Jiang Nian off.
I haven't seen her during this period of time.
The phone on the table vibrated.
Jiang Nian looked at the message and saw it was from her fourth brother.
Fourth Brother has actually come to the capital.
How did Fourth Brother find time to come to the capital?
The filming wrapped up yesterday, so I came to see you.
I'm not at school right now; I'm having dinner with friends outside. I'll go find my fourth brother after I finish eating.
Okay, I have an appointment out too. Message me after you finish eating, and I'll pick you up.
Jiang Nian put down her phone.
This restaurant has a uniquely brewed fruit wine.
Many people come here because of its reputation, and Huo Xiao especially recommends that people try it, saying that girls will really like it.
Jiang Nian poured herself a glass and took a small sip.
It has a very unique flavor.
The initial taste is a refreshing blend of raspberry and blackcurrant aromas, with a rich and layered flavor that is sweet and sour without any astringency.
The intense spiciness of the alcohol is perfectly balanced by the rich fruity aroma. The lingering aftertaste is addictive.
"It tastes good."
Jiang Nian hadn't drunk much alcohol before because she thought it tasted bad.
But this fruit wine is surprisingly delicious.
He finished his drink, squinted his eyes contentedly, and adopted a somewhat lazy posture.
"That's perfect! If you like it, drink more. I'll toast you!"
Qin Ji filled Jiang Nian's cup again.
When the truth about Jiang Nian's murder was exposed last time, Qin Ji cried while watching the live stream.
Now that I have the chance, I must pay my respects to Jiang Nian.
Si Boye stopped her, saying, "Baby, this wine tastes like a soft drink, but it's quite strong. Don't get drunk."
"Okay, then let's have another drink."
Jiang Nian responded and held up one finger.
Si Boye was charmed by his appearance.
It's rare to see a young girl interested in certain foods and drinks, so I didn't stop her.
Jiang Nian was perfectly fine after drinking her second glass. Qin Ji even praised her for her high alcohol tolerance and poured her a third glass.
But when she drank the fourth cup, Jiang Nian's expression didn't change; she remained aloof and indifferent.
But those dark eyes were shrouded in a thin mist, making them appear somewhat dreamy.
A blush crept onto her cheeks, and her reactions became somewhat sluggish, a beat slower than usual.
It was clearly the effects of the first three drinks that kicked in.
He pushed his wine glass towards the glass and said, "I'd like more."
The three men exchanged glances at each other at the dining table.
Qin Ji asked, "Is she drunk?"
Huo Xiao said, "What do you think? I told you to get people drunk."
Qin Ji said with a bitter face, "Where did I get anyone drunk? I just thought she had such a high alcohol tolerance. You didn't tell me the alcohol would take so long to kick in."
Si Boye took the cup from Jiang Nian's hand, put his strong arm around her, and said in a coaxing tone, "Don't drink anymore, baby, you're drunk."
"I'm not drunk."
Jiang Nian pushed Si Boye away and stared at him for a moment.
Suddenly, his eyes cleared of all distractions, and he spoke in the most honest tone.
"I really liked the uniform you wore yesterday."
"Next time, I want to see rabbit ears and a rabbit tail."
Si Boye: "..."
Huo Xiao: "..."
Qin Ji: "...??"
Qin Ji's eyes widened.
What did he hear? A uniform? Rabbit ears and a rabbit tail?
He almost jumped up: "Holy crap, Si Boye, you actually had this trick up your sleeve?"
"So that's how you seduce people, it turns out it's through seduction."
“I didn’t realize it either,” Huo Xiao said, looking at Si Boye. “President Bo is actually quite the player in private.”
"..."
Si Boye looked up: "Have you finished eating?"
"You've finished eating?" Qin Ji approached with great interest. "Seriously, what uniform were you wearing to seduce our little sister Niannian? Do you have any pictures to show me?"
"I don't have any photos of myself in uniform, but I do have a photo of Young Master Qin wetting the bed when he was five years old,"
Si Boye gave a forced smile, "If this person doesn't leave soon, this photo will be circulating all over Beijing's high society tomorrow."
Qin Ji's lips twitched: "...You win."
Qin Ji and Huo Xiao left.
The large private room was now empty except for Si Boye and Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian closed her eyes, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, as if floating on clouds.
The next second, she was pulled onto the man's lap.
Her legs were wrapped around the man's narrow waist, and her hands instinctively encircled his neck. The two were instantly pressed close together, their breaths mingling.
"...Are you dizzy, baby?"
Si Boye held the person and spoke into their ear.
His deep, alluring voice was like a feather brushing against the girl's ear.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city was bustling with traffic and brightly lit, but inside the private room, it was so quiet that when they embraced, it felt as if the whole world consisted of just the two of them.
"Si Boye".
Si Boye lowered his head: "Hmm?"
Jiang Nian said, "I miss you."
Si Boye was taken aback, his expression full of surprise.
He told the person in his arms many times that he missed her.
But this was the first time the girl had said on her own initiative that she missed him too.
It turns out that she's more honest when she's drunk. My heart is melting.
He brushed a strand of hair from the girl's cheek and whispered, "...I'm here, baby, I'm here."
Jiang Nian raised her eyes, her gaze almost unfocused, and looked at Si Boye.
He said that nothing in this world is stable and unchanging, and human emotions are especially fragile. Whether it is friendship, love, or kinship based on blood ties, they are all vulnerable in the face of self-interest.
He said that the more you fear losing something, the easier it is to hurt yourself. Giving your heart away is like hanging a knife over your soft spot. One day the knife will turn around and stab you all over.
"So a long time ago, I thought that I would be alone for the rest of my life and grow old alone."
"But later I discovered that people can't control their own hearts."
"Just like falling in love with you, it's something I couldn't control."
"I don't remember the exact moment, but I suddenly realized that more than being hurt, I was afraid of missing every moment with you. Just like right now."
"I think this must be love."
"There is no course in this world that teaches people how to love. So I don't really understand what love is, nor do I know how to express it."
"I always feel like I'm not doing well enough... I'm afraid I'm not doing a good job."
Si Boye remained silent for a long time after listening.
After a long while, he raised his hand and touched the girl's cheek.
Her voice was hoarse: "You've done very well, baby."
"You have no idea how lucky I am to have met you that night."
"You don't need to learn anything, and I don't need any feedback from you. You just need to be yourself and let me love you."
"Love is not a knife, love is medicine."
