61 Another Year
Lin Jing went downstairs in a daze and walked out.
Shanshan was about to stand up, fulfilling her professional ethics, but Lin Jing walked out of the company with a dull look in his eyes, as if he was alone. He looked completely different from when he came just now.
Shanshan became even more curious as she looked at Lin Jing's leaving back.
This feeling of unsatisfied curiosity was too uncomfortable. Shanshan turned her gaze to the stairs to the second floor again, thinking of Li Yaya who was there. She wanted to rush up and ask Li Yaya what was going on.
Shanshan felt so uncomfortable that she had to scratch her head.
Li Yaya was still sitting there with a blank look in her eyes, maintaining the same posture as before Lin Jing left.
So much had happened in the past few days, and Li Yaya had undergone a tremendous change because of it. It was finally over for now, and she was so tired now, she really wanted to go home and have a good sleep.
Turn off your cell phone, don't care about any news from the outside world, and sleep for a day and a night.
But it doesn’t work!
We have to rush to finish filming some of the previously postponed work these days. Xie Di has already started choosing new jobs for her. Previously, the work chose her, but now she chooses the work.
There were many unread messages on the phone, but Li Yaya was in no mood to read them. She just glanced at the work messages. There was nothing to do today, and the earliest filming would start tomorrow evening. Now, she had enough things to do and could go home for a good sleep.
The chat page turned to Jiang Yi, and the last message was from Jiang Yi: "I will return to Beijing tomorrow night."
Li Yaya did not go back. Going back to Beijing is going back to Beijing, but going back to Beijing does not mean going home.
Yingying knocked on the door and walked in.
"Sister Yaya, Lao Zhang is back. Shall we leave now?"
"Wait a minute, I'll call Reddy and leave right after I'm done."
"Okay." Yingying stepped out, leaving the space to Li Yaya.
The call was quickly connected, and Xie Di's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ya Ya, is the matter settled?"
"It's been handled for now." The reason she said "for now" was simple: she knew that if she insisted on asking Zhao Ziyi for an explanation and took the case to the police station, she wouldn't face any serious punishment. On the contrary, "threats" like hers might only scare her. But she couldn't be sure that Zhao Ziyi would just be obedient.
If she gets upset and does something else, anything is possible.
"For now? What about later?"
Li Yaya then told Xie Di the whole story.
After listening to this, Xie Di hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Peach Blossom Debt?"
"Sister Reddy, please stop teasing me. I've already made everything clear to him today. Whatever he thinks is his business. From now on, I won't have anything to do with him anymore."
"But I'm still a little curious, and I have a question for you. Of course, you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
"What's the problem?"
"Logically speaking, you knew this guy named Lin Jing earlier, and you still had the vague feelings of love from your youth. You were good at studying and had good conditions. So how did you end up with Jiang Yi?"
After all, as far as she knew, when Li Yaya and Jiang Yi first got together, one was working two jobs to pay off debts, and the other had a falling out with her family and was living alone singing in bars.
Then Li Yaya, there is obviously a better choice.
This question was something Li Yaya had never thought about. Because, from the beginning to the end, Lin Jing was not in her life choices. They were not on the same path, so Lin Jing was not qualified to be compared with Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was more like an unexpected person who suddenly broke into her life and brought color to her dull life. So, they were together naturally and as they should be.
It is a beautiful thing that comes naturally.
"We are not on the same path."
Li Yaya only said one sentence, and Xie Di didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Li Yaya told her this only because of the special nature of her job and because she was her boss, so she couldn't push her too much and ask for too much.
At least she knew the cause of the incident and was mentally prepared. This way, if anything happened in the future, she could deal with it in time.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yaya went downstairs and prepared to go back.
"Sister Yaya, are you leaving now?" Shanshan seemed particularly excited when she saw Li Yaya coming down from upstairs. However, Li Yaya had always had the same expression from the beginning until now, making it impossible to tell what her mood was.
Shanshan's attempt to find out some secret from her face was completely thwarted.
"Well, I'm leaving first. Bye."
The driver, Lao Zhang, was already waiting at the door. Li Yaya got in the car, and Yingying followed behind.
"Sister, should I take you home or to the hotel?"
"Let's go to the hotel."
She never knew she'd run into paparazzi again, and she didn't want her home address to be exposed. If it were, her relationship with Jiang Yi would be at risk. Although, for her, it didn't matter. But Jiang Yi did, his company did, his fans did, and his future was even more important.
The car pulled into the hotel garage, and Li Yaya quickly went upstairs. As expected, there were paparazzi waiting in the garage, but fortunately, Li Yaya had skillfully exploited the opportunity.
After explaining everything to Yingying, I returned to my room.
She no longer leaves her room before work.
After taking a bath, Li Yaya lay on the soft big bed. The tense nerves finally relaxed and she felt very comfortable.
So many things happened that Li Yaya didn't pay attention to time and didn't notice at all that time had passed and it was already 2018.
Jiang Yi was busy performing and attending parties, and Li Yaya was busy dealing with things, so the two of them didn't even give each other the most basic blessings.
It's not that Jiang Yi didn't remember, he was just angry because Li Yaya didn't reply to his messages and hung up the phone hastily. She didn't care about his comfort and concern. So he chose to sulk.
But, sadly, Li Yaya didn't notice that he was sulking. She just thought he was busy.
At the first second of 2017, they kissed in the crowd.
The first second that 2018 arrived, they were in their respective groups.
Jiang Yi returned to Beijing and went straight home, back to his and Li Yaya's home. He knew that Li Yaya had returned two days earlier than him, so she might also be home.
Like the many times he pushed the door open, Li Yaya might be reading on the sofa, cooking wontons in the kitchen, or simply sleeping soundly. No matter what, no matter what she was doing, there was Li Yaya's light on, which was his sense of belonging.
Full of anticipation and longing, Jiang pushed the door open. The room was pitch black, with only the moonlight coming through the windowsill, lengthening his shadow - Li Yaya was not at home.
His expectations and aspirations were dashed. At this moment, Jiang Yi felt as if he was about to lose something.
Li Yaya always felt that time was passing faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, 2018 was coming to an end.
This year, she and Jiang Yi were both incredibly busy. Jiang Yi even took on a reality show, steadily advancing on her acting career.
The same is true for Li Yaya. Not only has she successfully won endorsements from several good high-end luxury brands, she has even participated in several TV dramas and made guest appearances in movies.
Throughout the year, the two of them had only met a few times. They only kept in touch through WeChat and occasionally bumped into each other at events. They simply treated each other like any other artist, nodding and passing by.
But it is impossible to say that they are so busy that they don't have time to meet. It is just that they are avoiding, avoiding feelings, avoiding each other, and avoiding problems.
It seems that if I escape, there will be no problems, but it also seems that everything is a problem.
That's their current situation.
At the end of 2018, on the last day of work, Li Yaya and Xie Di spent New Year's Eve at Liang Qiu'an's house. Ever since Li Yaya became busy, the three of them hadn't been able to spend such a relaxing time together chatting.
"Hey, whose New Year's Eve party did Jiang Yi go to? Let's take a look later." Liang Qiuqiao asked.
Xie Di also looked at Li Yaya, waiting for her answer. Li Yaya chuckled twice, a little embarrassed, "I don't know, let me check Weibo."
Liang Qiuchen and Xie Di rolled their eyes at the same time.
"Let's break up." Liang Qiuqiao's words reached the ears of Li Yaya and Xie Di.
Xie Di had wanted to say this for a long time, but it was inappropriate to say it out loud. Unexpectedly, Liang Qiuchen said it.
Shady silently gave him a thumbs-up.
Li Yaya didn't say anything. Liang Qiuchen was worried that she didn't hear him, so he said it again louder, "Let's break up!"
"I heard it, I heard it, Teacher Liang. I heard it."
How could Li Yaya not have seen it? She was just pretending.
Break up - It's strange, even though her relationship with Jiang Yi has reached a weird level in the past year, she has never thought about breaking up.
But today, when Liang Qiuchen said "let's break up", she didn't feel that it was wrong.
It's like, we can continue to be together like this, or we can break up.
It seemed like she no longer cared.
What about him, does he still care?
In the end, they didn't watch the New Year's Eve party, but just had a drink and chatted. Time quickly came to 12 o'clock, and Li Yaya was entangled in her heart for a while, and decided to send a message to Jiang Yi.
I just deleted and subtracted a lot, and finally edited it to just one sentence: "Jiang Yi, we also want to be happy this year."
At the moment of zero o'clock, the message is sent.
Perhaps the work was not finished yet, Jiang Yi did not reply.
Li Yaya didn't care and threw her phone aside. She toasted with Xie Di and Liang Qiuyan to celebrate the new year and wished each other a better year!
Xie Di's phone screen lit up. It was a WeChat message. Xie Di didn't click on it immediately, thinking it was just one of those group messages of well wishes or some other kind of concern.
After drinking, Xie Di leaned back, squinted his eyes, and turned on his mobile phone.
But the moment he saw the news, Shady sat up straight with his eyes widened.
Liang Qiuchen naturally noticed Xie Di's actions. The only person who could cause Xie Di to have such emotional fluctuations could be Xie Cheng. It seemed that the message must have been sent by Xie Cheng.
Xie Cheng's message was clearly displayed on Xie Di's phone screen: "I miss you so much."
