"Let's go, Shi Jing!" Zhu Jinzhao turned around and waved happily at Shi Jing.
"You're here." Shi Jing's smile instantly vanished as he strode toward her, carrying his suitcase.
"Since you've decided not to go home, have you thought about where you're going?"
Zhu Mingyue walked ahead, looking down at the steps as she asked.
Zhu Jinzhao followed behind her with light steps. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "I've made up my mind. I'm going to find Jiang Jiang. Jiang Jiang just texted me saying that the new room she prepared for me is all renovated and that I should go and move in as soon as possible."
“Hmm.” Zhu Mingyue nodded. “Going to find Xiao Jiang is fine. You grew up with her, so I’ll feel at ease if you stay with her. But Xiao Jiang’s house isn’t far from ours, so be careful not to get caught by these brothers if you stay there.”
“They won’t find out!” Zhu Jinzhao said confidently. “Jiang Jiang’s new house is in the eastern suburbs, more than 80 kilometers away from our home.”
Zhu Mingyue said earnestly, "Even 80 kilometers isn't safe. When my brother is discussing projects, he often travels all over Beijing, so don't let your guard down."
"I know!" Although Zhu Jinzhao was confident, she was still aware of this point.
"My work these past few days has been learning acting from my teacher, so I won't be going anywhere except the company. I refuse to believe I can get caught if I stay obediently in my room!"
"Wait for me!!"
The three of them were about to reach the living room when Ning Shi rushed out of the hallway carrying her suitcase.
"Zhaozhao, Mingyue!" she called out as she walked down the stairs in her high heels, "I'm on the same flight as you, let's go to the airport together!!"
“Okay.” Zhu Jinchao stopped and waited for her. “Take your time, there’s no rush.”
Ning Shi verbally agreed with "okay," but her steps didn't slow down at all.
She rushed to Zhu Jinchao, her eyes brimming with excitement, and said enthusiastically, "Chaochao, if you don't want to go home, you can stay at my place! My home is in the southern part of the capital, almost eighty kilometers away from yours! It's definitely safer for you to stay at my place than at Xiao Jiang's!"
“…Um.” Although Ning Shi’s invitation was very tempting, but…
"How did you know I was lying and not going home so I could sneak off to stay at Xiao Jiang's place?" Zhu Jinzhao asked, somewhat alarmed.
Ning Shi grinned foolishly, blinking blankly, "I heard it myself. The three of you were talking so loudly, it would be hard for me not to hear you."
“…Oh.” Zhu Jinzhao laughed instantly, but it was a laugh that sounded rather bitter.
Ning Shi: "So, do you want to come stay at my place? I don't have any work these days, so I can hang out with you anytime, and I can also work part-time as your driver to take you to work every day."
“But… I already promised Jiang Jiang I would go to her house.” Zhu Jinzhao politely declined. “This is the first time Jiang Jiang has been separated from me for such a long time. She misses me a lot, and I want to go back and spend time with her.”
“That’s easy!” Ning Shi already had a plan.
She switched hands to carry the suitcase, and with her free hand, she put her arm around Zhu Jinzhao's shoulder and walked down the stairs with her.
"Chaochao, just call Xiaojiang over, you two can move into my house together! I'm bored at home alone, you two come and keep me company!"
"...Huh?!" Zhu Jinzhao was taken aback by her decision. "Is this alright?"
Ning Shi: "Of course! I spent seven years in Korea, and now that I'm back in China, I don't have any friends at all. If you two could come and keep me company, I would be so happy I would cry!"
“But…” Zhu Jinzhao frowned, hesitating, “But you and Jiang Jiang don’t know each other. I’m afraid we’ll cause you trouble.”
"I love trouble!" Ning Shi emphasized, every word she spoke filled with sincerity. "Besides, I really want to make some new friends. If Xiao Jiang is willing to come, I will definitely treat her well and make sure she doesn't feel uncomfortable!"
"Hmm... then I'll call Jiang Jiang and ask her what she thinks?" Zhu Jinzhao was successfully swayed.
"Okay!" Ning Shi smiled and squinted her eyes, quietly putting one hand behind her back and giving a "V" sign to Shi Jing behind her.
"Cough..." Shi Jing raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed deliberately.
Zhu Jinzhao took out her phone from her bag and asked Zhu Mingyue before dialing Jiang Jingwen's number, "Mingyue, is it okay?"
Zhu Mingyue glanced at Shi Jing, who was hiding behind her and covering his mouth to chuckle, and gave an ambiguous "hmm".
"If Xiao Jiang can stay with you, then I have no objection."
Wishing you a happy day!
Then he took a couple of steps away and made a phone call to Jiang Jingwen.
Jiang Jingwen was also quite willing to make friends, and after listening to Zhu Jinzhao's words, she only had one question.
"Ning Shi, Jiang Jiang asked if you have a swimming pool at home? Her swimming pool isn't finished yet. If you have one, she'll come over," Zhu Jinchao relayed.
Ning Shi exclaimed, "Yes! My family's swimming pool is huge, she can play as much as she wants whenever she comes!"
Zhu Jinzhao put the phone to her ear: "Jiang Jiang, did you hear what Ning Shi said?"
Jiang Jingwen: "I heard you. I'll pack my things now and pick you up from the airport in a bit!"
Zhu Jinzhao: "Okay, goodbye Jiang Jiang!"
Jiang Jingwen: "See my darling later!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Jinzhao turned back to Ning Shi and relayed Jiang Jingwen's words: "Jiang Jiang said she is willing to come and will pick us up at the airport in a little while."
"Alright!!" Ning Shi was so happy she almost jumped for joy. "Let's go, Chaochao, let's go!"
Zhu Jinzhao: "Hmm!!"
The production crew had already prepared the car to the airport. After the group walked to the villa entrance, put their suitcases down, and got into the car one by one.
"Let's go back, Shi Jing." Ning Shi lowered the car window and waved to Shi Jing in an affected manner.
Shi Jing pursed his lips and nodded, feigning seriousness: "Have a safe journey and be careful."
"Hmm~~" Ning Shi raised her chin and responded in a sarcastic tone.
"Zhao Zhao." Shi Jing tilted his head to look at Zhu Jinzhao sitting inside.
Zhu Jinzhao clung to Ning Shi's shoulder and leaned his head close to the car window: "What's wrong?"
Shi Jing winked at her: "Goodbye."
Zhu Jinchao waved goodbye, saying, "Goodbye, Shijing, see you again in a week."
Shi Jing raised an eyebrow, took two steps back, and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go." Ning Shi gave him a wink with a smirk, then rolled up the car window.
The van drove away from the villa, and Shi Jing stood there watching it disappear around the corner before taking out his phone and sending a WeChat message to his father.
—Dad, our lovely Chaochao is about to move into Ning Shi's house.
Bandit: Huh? ? ? ?
