Chapter 225 Fence-Sitter
Jian Yan rubbed his fingers against the sweatshirt, and could smell an exceptionally fresh scent.
"good."
She responded and put on the sweatshirt, immediately feeling warmer.
"Thank you." She turned to express her gratitude, just in time to see raindrops trickling down Chen Chu's face from his hair.
"Don't be so polite with me." He said it casually, his hands gripping the steering wheel as he drove intently.
In my memory, Chen Chu always drove like this, with both hands firmly gripping the steering wheel and a meticulous expression in his eyes.
Unlike Chen Ci, I wish he could do everything so casually, including driving.
“Your face is wet with rainwater…” Jianyan handed her a towel: “Wipe it off.”
"Okay." Chen Chu reached out to take the towel, but his gaze was probably focused on what was in front of him, and his fingers inadvertently touched Jian Yan's hand.
It feels cool to the touch yet smooth and delicate.
His heart skipped a beat. He grabbed a towel and casually dried his hair. His heart started beating faster and faster, and even the tips of his ears felt a little hot.
It's a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Jianyan's phone rang at that moment, and she quickly answered: "Hello, Qingning."
"Have you seen the person?" Ye Qingning asked.
Jian Yan paused for a moment and said, "No."
Ye Qingning was silent for a moment: "It's okay. He's just on a business trip, it's not like he won't come back. Besides, communication is so complicated now, he's just in a different time zone."
Jian Yan smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, I'm fine."
Are you on your way back to school now?
"Yes."
"Okay, let's talk again at noon."
After hanging up Ye Qingning's call, Jian Yan turned to look out the window. The heavy rain continued, and the city had not changed in the slightest because of Chen Ci's departure.
Sensing her low spirits, Chen Chu reached out and turned on the stereo, and a very familiar song began to echo in the car.
It's the song by Hsieh Lin-Ching that she participated in filming the music video for.
Jian Yan turned her head and saw that the music video for that song was playing on the LCD screen. It was a scene of them meeting in the rain, and if she remembered correctly, the next thing they did was hug...
She turned her head somewhat awkwardly and asked, "You, you watch videos while driving?"
"I'm just listening for any noise." Chen Chu kept his eyes fixed on the road. "Sometimes the LCD screen turns on automatically."
Jian Yan glanced at the car logo to confirm the specific model of the car.
If I remember correctly, the LCD screen is connected to the phone via Bluetooth and the screen is synchronized with the phone. It seems that you need to select MV mode on the phone to watch the music video.
so……
Jian Yan scratched her head, wondering if she was overthinking things.
...
Chen Chu drove his car into the mall's underground parking lot. The mall had just opened for business, and with the heavy rain, there were naturally few people around.
Jian Yan, wearing Chen Chu's oversized white hoodie, followed him toward the women's clothing section, but he didn't stop even after passing several stores.
He stopped in front of a certain store and asked her, "Is this store any good? I think you like this brand of clothes."
Jian Yan was taken aback for a moment: "How did you know..."
"Oh." Chen Chu coughed lightly to cover up the awkwardness: "This is a women's clothing brand under our group..."
Jian Yan pursed her lips and said, "Oh, okay, this is the place."
Actually, the clothes she's been wearing lately were all bought with Qing Ning that day. She hadn't really paid much attention to the brands, but Chen Chu had noticed them.
Jian Yan picked out a white T-shirt and jeans and went to the fitting room.
Chen Chu frowned slightly, then searched through the pile of brightly colored dresses, finally picking out a white chiffon dress with red flowers, just like the one she was wearing, and handed it to the waiter.
"Take this in to that lady and tell her to wear it."
Jianyan quickly changed her clothes and came out wearing a white dress with red flowers.
She handed her T-shirt and jeans to the waiter to pay the bill, but was told, "That gentleman has already paid. Madam, you can wear these and leave. I've also packed up your wet clothes for you."
"Thank you." Jian Yan took the bag and walked to the door, where she found Chen Chu standing on the other side of the railing talking on the phone.
About a minute later, he hung up the phone and turned around. He was stunned when he saw Jian Yan: "All done?"
"Um."
"Let's go then, I'll take you back to school."
“Okay.” Jian Yan followed him, then asked, “Why did you insist on making me choose this outfit?”
Chen Chu turned and glanced at her: "It's nothing, it looks pretty."
Jian Yan paused for a moment and said, "Oh, right, I'll transfer the money to you later."
"No need for that." Chen Chu paused for a moment and then explained, "You are Miss Ye's friend, and Miss Ye is the apple of Fei Ye's eye. It would be bad if she knew that I took your money."
Jian Yan scratched her head: "Is it that complicated? Why don't I just not tell her?"
Chen Chu smiled at her: "You're making such a big deal out of such a small thing? We're friends, after all. You only got this wet because of Aci..."
When Chen Ci was mentioned, Jian Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, thank you."
The two went down the elevator, completely unaware that someone had filmed their interaction and secretly posted it in the group chat.
"See that? This man is a high-ranking executive at Wuyu Entertainment. I saw him when I was a hostess at the school's investment promotion conference! No wonder Jian Yan was able to get Xie Linjing's MV resources, she has someone behind her!"
...
Ye Qingning naturally had lunch with Jian Yan at noon, and afterwards the two went back to the dormitory together.
Seeing the same chiffon dress hanging on her clothes rack, Ye Qingning asked, "Did you buy two of them back then?"
"No." Jian Yan briefly explained what had happened that morning, concluding, "It's probably a typical straight man's taste. Anyway, he had the waiter bring me a dress and said I had to wear this one..."
"Um?"
"I asked him why and he said...it looks good."
Jian Yan just casually mentioned it as a joke, but unexpectedly Ye Qingning chuckled after hearing it and then gave him a thumbs up.
"I never expected Chen Chu, who seems so reserved, to be so thoughtful!"
"careful?"
"Nonsense." Ye Qingning explained to her, "You went out wearing this dress this morning, but came back two or three hours later wearing a different dress. It's easy for people to overthink things, isn't it?"
Jian Yan paused for a moment before belatedly realizing the problem.
No wonder he went to great lengths to find the same brand.
Ye Qingning nudged her shoulder: "So, what do you think? Don't you think Chen Chu is pretty good too?"
Jian Yan looked helpless: "...Baby, are you a fence-sitter?"
Ye Qingning put her arm around her shoulder: "I'll stand by whoever can make our little Yan Yan happy! Besides, Chen Chu is very handsome and he's a domineering CEO!"
Jian Yan chuckled: "Alright, he didn't mean anything by it. He only took care of me because of you and Mr. Lin."
She had barely finished speaking when her phone rang. It was an unknown number, but she answered it immediately: "Hello."
