Lin Ruru was in a state of mental breakdown.
—The person in front of me is Ji Yubai.
—Niannian just called Ji Yubai "brother".
Ji Yubai said that Niannian told him she wanted his autograph and asked if she had brought paper and pen.
Lin Ruru never imagined in her life that the idol she could only see on TV would be standing right in front of her.
He even offered to sign his autograph.
"...Ah, yes, I brought it!"
Lin Ruru felt as if she had one foot in the clouds, and her whole body was dizzy.
She frantically grabbed a pen and paper and handed it over, watching the man sign his name, Ji Yubai, on the paper before handing it back to him.
"Niannian just transferred schools, thank you for taking care of her all this time," Ji Yubai said calmly.
Looking at the signature on her hand, Lin Ruru felt like she was dreaming.
It turns out that when Niannian said she wanted to get her an autograph this afternoon, she really wasn't joking...
Heavens above!
My deskmate is the sister of a top-tier movie star, is this really not a plot from a novel?!
Moreover, last time Niannian's second brother was Professor Ji Yanci, and this time it's Ji Yubai. Just how many brothers does Niannian have?
Upon hearing Ji Yubai's words, Lin Ruru immediately shook her head: "No, no, it's always Nian Nian who takes care of me."
Jiang Nian looked at her and asked, "Ruru, my fourth brother is taking me out to eat, do you want to come along?"
Lin Ruru almost fainted again upon hearing this.
Having dinner with a top-tier actor in the entertainment industry? What makes an ordinary person like her so special?!
Lin Ruru was so nervous she could hardly breathe; her hand gestures were so exaggerated they left afterimages.
"No need, no need! I still need to go back and cook for my parents. You guys go and eat!"
Jiang Nian wanted to call a car for Lin Ruru, but there was a subway station nearby. In this weather, it would take a long time to hail a taxi, and taking the subway would be safer and more convenient.
Seeing that Lin Ruru insisted on taking the subway back, Jiang Nian agreed.
Ji Yubai handed the other umbrella in his hand to Lin Ruru.
The two watched Lin Ruru walk towards the subway station before Ji Yubai opened the other umbrella.
"Let's go too."
As soon as he took his first step, the umbrella he was holding with one hand was already mostly tilted onto Jiang Nian.
With his other hand, he put his arm around the girl's shoulder to weigh down her coat. His own tall figure, clad in a black shirt, was soaked through by the wind and rain, but his calm expression remained unchanged.
A Toyota Alphard van was parked on the side of the road.
Ji Yubai first opened the car door for Jiang Nian to get in, and then he followed her in.
The person in the driver's seat turned around and saw that half of Ji Yubai's clothes and pants were soaked, and was shocked: "How did you get so wet? I told you I would go with you to pick up your sister."
His gaze shifted to Jiang Nian, and he couldn't help but show a look of amazement.
The girl was wrapped in a coat and protected by her brother with his body and an umbrella. Her clothes were not very wet, only her hair was a little wet.
Her hair, soaked and as black as night, made her skin appear even more porcelain white under the light. Her small face, no bigger than a palm, had delicate features, and her dark eyes were beautiful and clear. Her temperament shared the same aloofness as the man beside her.
“This is my agent, Yu Xiao,” Ji Yubai introduced.
"Hello, Brother Yu." Jiang Nian nodded and greeted him.
His tone was calm, yet it sent a shiver down one's spine.
"My goodness, I thought she was pretty just by looking at her profile, but she's even prettier in person than I imagined."
Yu Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Director Li Mu's people said that you were born to make a living in the entertainment industry; you could make a living just by looking at your face."
Ji Yubai took a clean towel and handed it to Jiang Nian, his voice low: "Dry your hair."
"I was going to take you to one of my favorite restaurants, but the weather is too bad today, so I'll take you home instead."
"Go home?" Jiang Nian looked up.
“I’m not going back to the Ji family’s place, I’m going back to where I live, which is much closer than going back to the Ji family’s place.”
"Oh... okay."
Jiang Nian didn't say anything.
It's strange, really.
Fourth Brother was indeed a man of few words. Jiang Nian had only met him twice before, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Even just being by her fourth brother's side, watching the lightning, thunder, and rain outside the car window, made her feel very relaxed.
Blood ties are truly a magical thing. You don't need to say or do anything to feel that the people around you will only protect you and will not harm you.
I couldn't help but close my eyes to rest.
"Tired?" Ji Yubai asked, looking down.
"A little bit."
Jiang Nian hasn't had much deep sleep these past few days because she hasn't slept with Si Boye.
In addition, I got up early with Lin Ruru today and spent the whole day on set, so it's no wonder I feel tired.
The next second, Ji Yubai's expression remained as cold as ever, but he raised his hand and pulled the girl into his arms, letting her lean against the side of his body that wasn't wet.
"Find a comfortable spot and lean against me for a while. I'll wake you up when we get home."
Yu Xiao, who was driving, was secretly astonished when he saw this scene in the rearview mirror.
How come he never noticed before that Ji Yubai had this sister-complex attribute?
The person who usually hates being touched by others actually took the initiative to hug his younger sister and let her rest.
Jiang Nian initially wanted to say no, but had to admit that it was indeed much more comfortable to close her eyes like this.
Being held by her brother felt completely different from being held by Si Boye.
Si Boye's embrace was always full of possessiveness, as if he was afraid she would leave. But her brother's embrace only gave her complete peace of mind and the warmth of family.
Jiang Nian also drifted off to sleep.
