56 Candid Photography (1)
Jiang Yi, who had not received a reply for a long time, was also feeling anxious.
After struggling for a long time, I decided to call Yingying first and ask her if Li Yaya was still busy. Then I prayed silently in my heart that she must still be busy and hadn't seen the overwhelming news online.
But Yingying told him that Li Yaya had not only finished her work, but had also seen the news online.
"So, is she in the hotel now?"
"I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, you should contact Sister Yaya directly. I'm not sure if she's willing to tell you where she is. I'm hanging up now. Goodbye, Brother Jiang."
Yingying's best sense of propriety is that even though she knows about their relationship, she doesn't feel that she should tell Jiang Yi about Li Yaya's affairs. Because Li Yaya's affairs are not something she should tell him.
Moreover, Yingying always felt that Li Yaya went to Liang Qiuqiao's house because she didn't want to face Jiang Yi.
After being hung up on, Jiang Yi collapsed on the sofa like a deflated balloon. Why hadn't Li Yaya contacted him? Did she believe the rumors online? Impossible, this was something they had already agreed on. But why didn't she want to contact him?
Is she angry?
Where is she now?
If he called her, would she answer?
After much hesitation, Jiang Yi finally called Li Yaya.
"Beep~beep~" No one answered.
I called again, but still no one answered.
I called again, but the other party just turned off the phone.
Li Yaya looked at the two people in front of her and asked, "Is it really okay if I just turn off my phone?"
"What's the big deal? Why do you care so much? You should just give him the cold shoulder now. Don't rush over to him every time he contacts you, then happily forgive him after he says a few words."
After Xie Di finished speaking, Liang Qiuchen rolled her eyes. "Ya Ya, if you listen to her, you'll be single for the rest of your life."
"What do you mean by that?"
"As for the matter between you and Xie Cheng, it has been going back and forth for so many years and it has not been resolved clearly. You are still here teaching others about it. You are really misleading the students."
Although Li Yaya felt uncomfortable, she still keenly caught the key words in the two people's quarrel - Xie Cheng!
Wait a minute, Xie Di and Xie Cheng, Xie Cheng and Xie Di. They are not brother and sister.
Li Yaya looked at Xie Di with a puzzled look on her face, "Sister Rui Di, you and my boss are not siblings!"
Xie Di tapped Li Yaya's head gently, "Li Yaya, your boss now is me! Not Xie Cheng!" Then he drank the wine in the glass.
"We are brother and sister, but I was adopted by the Xie family. We have no blood relationship—"
This was the first time that Li Yaya knew about Xie Di's life.
Li Yaya remembered a sentence she had read in a book before - it said that happy people are all alike; unhappy people each have their own misfortune.
Xie Di was unfortunate, having lost both her parents and becoming an orphan. However, Xie Di also had her own happiness, being adopted by the Xie family. Although she had the restraint of being adopted, she was well fed and well clothed, and went to school and grew up.
However, she fell in love with Xie Cheng, her nominal brother.
The three of them chatted like this for most of the night.
The next day, Li Yaya turned on her phone. After turning it off, Jiang Yi didn't call again. There was only a short message on WeChat: "I know you're angry. Let's find time to have a good chat when you calm down."
Calm? Who wouldn't be calm?
Li Yaya felt incredibly calm now. She got up, washed her face, and quickly cleaned up. Xie Di and Li Yaya had both slept at Liang Qiu's house last night, and both were still asleep.
Liang Qiuchen preferred quiet, but he could tolerate Xie Di and Li Yaya dropping by his house to chat whenever they pleased. Liang Qiuchen had a certain aloofness, aloof from the world, and so he occasionally needed to feel the breath of life from others.
There was no movement at home, so Yingying sent a message asking what time to pick her up.
——Come over now.
After a while, the person arrived.
Xie Di and Liang Qiuqiao were still asleep. Li Yaya went out, got in the car, and continued to work.
Fortunately, after finishing today's filming, Li Yaya will have two days of rest.
Inside the car, Yingying saw that Li Yaya was in good spirits and didn't look tired at all. Then she spoke, "Sister Yaya, Brother Jiang called me last night and asked where you were, but I didn't tell you."
"Well, next time he contacts you, just hang up on him."
The shoot ended successfully, and Li Yaya asked the driver to take her home, her and Jiang Yi's home. She had no intention of replying to Jiang Yi's message, but she was willing to wait for him at home. However, if Jiang Yi didn't even think about going home, then she didn't want to say anything more.
She planned to lie down at home for two days.
Jiang Yi's Weibo entry from two days ago has disappeared. There's no confirmation or denial; everything has been left to the sidelines. The internet is like that: suddenly crowded, then suddenly scattered. Ups and downs. No one really cares.
Li Yaya lay in bed all day. Jiang Yi did not come home and there was no news from him.
Li Yaya recalled the first time they had a cold war. Even though they had quarreled, the two of them would still go to work together tacitly, and then go eat wontons together after get off work.
Thinking of this, Li Yaya suddenly missed the wontons at the entrance of the alley.
The cell phone rang. Is that Jiang Yi?
Li Yaya fumbled hard and finally found her phone, curled up in the quilt. The caller was Xie Di. She seemed a little disappointed because it wasn't the call she was looking for.
"Hello, Sister Redi." Li Yaya's voice was lazy, with a unique softness in it.
However, Shady was in no mood to savor it.
"Ya Ya, have you read Weibo?"
"No, what's wrong?" For some reason, the moment Xie Di mentioned Weibo, Li Yaya's first reaction was what happened to Jiang Yi.
But fortunately, this time it was not Jiang Yi, but her!
"You went to Liang Qiuqiao's house two days ago and left the next morning. Gouzi secretly photographed you."
"What!" Li Yaya sat up in bed in shock. No, how could she not have noticed that someone was secretly photographing her? Moreover, the security in Liang Qiuqiao's residential complex was so strict, yet paparazzi were able to sneak in.
"But weren't there three of us yesterday?"
"It's just that the paparazzi only took pictures of you. How can you seek justice for this?"
Unlike Jiang Yi, the involvement of Liang Qiuchen in the matter was a real commotion. Given Liang Qiuchen's status in the industry, any hint of scandal would likely linger on Weibo for at least two or three days.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at home. I've been at home since I finished work yesterday and haven't left the house."
"Okay, then you stay home for now. I've pushed the rest of the work to you. I need to finish connecting with Liang Qiuqiao's company first, and then I'll let you know. Try to stay out of sight as little as possible for the next two days. They don't know where you live, so it's safer there."
Fortunately, Li Yaya often stayed in hotels when she was working, so not many people knew her home address.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yaya opened Weibo immediately.
Sure enough, eight of the first ten Weibo posts were related to Liang Qiuqiao and netizens’ exposés on her identity.
The most eye-catching entry - Liang Qiuqiao secretly meets a beautiful woman late at night!
Li Yaya sighed. It was true that when one became famous, there would be more gossip. Of course, the famous person she was referring to was Liang Qiuyu.
Wait, Jiang Yi will definitely see it, so should I explain to him? No, just now he wanted to explain but you ignored him, and now you want him to listen to your explanation. "Ahhhhhhh!" Li Yaya rolled around on the bed in frustration.
It’s so annoying, really annoying. How could I be photographed?
Jiang Yi had been out of Beijing for the past two days due to work. After working non-stop for a few days and failing to contact Li Yaya, he was filled with displeasure. Finally, he finished his work and was able to return to Beijing. On his way back, Jiang Yi saw the news online.
Jiang Yi recognized the unclear face in the photo at a glance; it was Li Yaya's face.
Looking at the time, wasn't it the day when he sent messages but didn't reply, called but didn't answer, and couldn't contact Li Yaya no matter what? He knew Li Yaya wasn't that kind of person, but -
I glanced at my phone, but still had no news from Li Yaya.
Jiang Yi didn't know how to start or what to say, but the screen of his phone kept lighting up and dimming.
Finally returned to Beijing in the middle of the night.
The assistant asked Jiang Yi where he was going back to, the hotel or the company.
Jiang Yi thought about it and said he wanted to go home, back to his home, back to his and Li Yaya’s home.
What Jiang Yi didn't expect was that Li Yaya was also at home.
The moment I pushed the door open, Li Yaya was busy cooking wontons in the kitchen.
Both of them were startled, and facing each other, they felt a little awkward.
It was Li Yaya who spoke first, "Are you hungry? Do you want some wontons?"
"Okay." Jiang Yi's voice was hoarse, and he felt tired after a lot of hard work.
After a while, the wontons were cooked. Everyone had a bowl and sat opposite each other without saying a word.
While eating, Li Yaya suddenly said, "This wonton is not as delicious as the one at the entrance of the alley."
Jiang Yi's hand holding the chopsticks froze in place. The wontons at the entrance of the alley brought back a past they couldn't go back to. It seemed as if nothing had changed, yet it also seemed as if everything had changed.
"That night, I was at Liang Qiuqiao's house with Xie Di. I was a little angry that day and didn't want to talk to you, but being alone made me prone to overthinking. So I went to find Xie Di and Liang Qiuqiao. I don't know how I was secretly photographed."
In the end, it was Li Yaya who spoke first to explain.
The two of them calmly discussed what had happened to each other recently.
Until the wontons are cooled completely.
Finally, the recent misunderstanding was resolved.
One was aware of the hype and had no way to refuse it, while the other was secretly photographed without knowing it. It seems that no one is at fault.
That night, they slept in each other's arms. It had been so long since they last did this.
Jiang Yi had been working non-stop for several days and was very tired. He fell asleep soon after. Li Yaya, who had been lying down all day, was not sleepy. She watched Jiang Yi in the dim darkness.
The misunderstanding seemed to be resolved, but it also seemed not to be.
