Chapter 105 Good marksmanship
The carriage was very quiet.
Yu Chengbai was driving and Gu Jiujing was sitting in the passenger seat. The two of them occasionally spoke a few words, discussing the affairs of the Pei family.
Perhaps it was because the discussion was about the Pei family's affairs, which were rather obscure and private, so when Yu Chengbai came to the Pei family to pick up Gu Jiujing in the morning, he did not let the driver drive, nor did he call his accompanying assistant.
Instead, I chose to drive here myself.
As luck would have it, I saw Shi Ming's car on the roadside, and also saw him and his good brother fighting in the car.
"So Lin Ruan has been with you all these years?" Yu Chengbai was a little surprised.
"Um."
Gu Jiujing didn't intend to hide it from him.
I didn't mention it before because Yu Chengbai was abroad all year round, and it was something that had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to mention it specifically.
Yu Chengbai thought about Pei Yanhuai's reaction when he saw Lin Ruan at Pei's house just now, and couldn't help wondering: "Did Yanhuai lose his memory?"
"Well, you just saw it too. Isn't it obvious?"
"When I returned to China before, I didn't seem to notice anything wrong with him."
"Of course." Gu Jiujing said, "There's nothing wrong with forgetting just one person."
"Can amnesia be like this?" Yu Chengbai was a little surprised. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said softly, "I've never heard of this before. I only know of transient amnesia. I've heard that some people, due to excessive shock and pain, selectively forget unbearable memories. But forgetting only one person? This is the first time I've seen this."
Gu Jiujing didn't say anything. He raised his eyes and looked at the two people sitting in the back through the rearview mirror.
Shi Ming crossed his arms across his chest, closed his eyes and didn't want to talk.
Ning Yan supported his chin with one hand, enjoying the scenery outside the window as if nothing had happened. He was in a very good mood and had completely forgotten his previous emotions.
Seeing something interesting, he turned around and patted Shi Ming's shoulder frantically: "Look, that's your poster! Wow, it's such a big poster of you, so cool. I just saw your advertisement on the LED screen in the central square."
"How fresh! I've always hung it up there." Shi Ming half-heartedly opened his eyes and glanced at the poster outside. Suddenly, something occurred to him: "Do you like it?"
"I like it."
"Then I'll discuss it with the brand tomorrow. I'll take a break and put you up there."
"Can you hang all four of us up there?" Ning Yan looked very excited. He touched his chin and thought for a moment before muttering, "It's a bit too lonely to be alone."
“…”
Sure enough, Lin Fang was right to scold him. There were only four talents like Ning Yan in a thousand, and sarcasm had no effect on him.
Because he doesn't understand.
Shi Ming held his forehead and sighed. When he looked out the window, his peripheral vision caught sight of the rearview mirror.
A pair of eyes suddenly met Gu Jiujing's gaze.
A smile appeared in Gu Jiujing's eyes, and Shi Ming immediately looked away.
Turn your head and close your eyes tightly.
I'm going to die. Why did I meet Gu Jiujing at this time?
When he thought of the words he had just said to Yu Chengbai on the phone with a smile, his cheeks became hot and his eyes darkened.
After all these years in the entertainment industry, she has never been so flattering or so eager to please anyone. It was a rare opportunity that Gu Jiujing actually saw her.
But the person he was facing was Gu Jiujing's friend...
I can’t think about it, Shi Ming held his forehead tightly, the more he thought about it, the more unbearable it became, it was so damn embarrassing.
Shi Ming was afraid of meeting Gu Jiujing's gaze again, so he turned his head towards Ning Yan, and then was caught off guard again and met Ning Yan's gaze.
Ning Yan held his chin with his hand, his eyes smiling with interest. He had obviously seen the whole process of him and Gu Jiujing looking at each other and then avoiding each other in embarrassment.
Shi Ming: “…”
Damn, he still has the nerve to laugh?
Shi Ming was about to kick him when Yu Chengbai suddenly asked, "Ah Yan, when did you come back?"
Ning Yan smiled nonchalantly, acting like a careless and ruthless playboy, and said, "Why do you care when I come back?"
Yu Chengbai: "..."
Shi Ming: “…”
If Shi Ming hadn't just seen Ning Yan's worthless look in the car, he would have thought that he really didn't care.
Not to mention, his acting skills are already good enough to enter the entertainment industry, and he even acts more naturally than some popular young actors.
In the silence, Gu Jiujing seemed to laugh softly, and the laughter broke the awkwardness and stiffness in the car.
He said slowly, "Xiao Xiao, it seems your friend doesn't really admire Master Yu's demeanor."
Shi Ming: “…”
As he spoke, Gu Jiujing glanced in the rearview mirror and turned his attention back to Ning Yan outside the window. He asked casually, "Is your friend still eating?"
"I'm not eating anymore, thank you." Ning Yan said decisively.
Hearing this, Shi Ming stared at his profile as if he wanted to poke a hole in his face.
"Shi Xiao, he said he doesn't want to eat anymore." Gu Jiujing looked at Shi Ming and suggested, "How about we--"
Shi Ming said coldly: "Then don't eat it either."
“…”
The carriage fell into silence again. Although all four windows were open, there was no sign of air movement.
Gu Jiujing looked at Shi Ming quietly, Shi Ming stared at Ning Yan, Ning Yan looked out the window lazily, and Yu Chengbai drove quietly.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
In the end, it was Gu Jiujing who broke the deadlock. He suddenly asked Yu Chengbai, "Where's your wife? Why didn't she see him? Xiaoyu called me this morning and said your daughter cried all morning, asking for her mommy. No matter what you did, she wouldn't stop crying. Her voice is hoarse from crying."
Beibei?
Ning Yan suddenly remembered, yes, he followed Shi Ming back to Gu's house last night, where was Beibei?
Why isn't he with Yu Chengbai?
Ning Yan frowned and immediately looked at Yu Chengbai who was driving.
No, how do you take care of the child? He has been crying all night.
Yu Chengbai explained in a gentle voice, "Xiao Yu also called me this morning. I coaxed her over the phone for half an hour, and she's stopped crying. We just moved, and neither Weiwei nor she is used to it. When I left, Weiwei wasn't awake yet. I just asked my assistant to go pick up Beibei from Xiao Yu's place."
Ning Yan was about to relax his frown when he heard Gu Jiujing say, "That's great. Let's invite them over to have dinner together. It will be more lively with more people."
"..." Ning Yan immediately said, "You guys eat, I have something else to do, I won't join in the fun."
"Ning Yan, is it?"
This was the first time Gu Jiujing called his name since he got in the car.
He looked up at the young man in the rearview mirror, wearing a baseball cap and looking not much different from an ordinary person. He seemed to smile and praised him, "Your shooting skills are good. You are the first person who almost took my life."

PS:
I wonder if readers who haven't read the first two books still remember the sniper fight between Gu Jiujing and Ning Yan.
Among the F4 in Beijing, only Yu Li firmly believes that Ning Yan is a crazy and ruthless boss. Shi Ming and Lin Fang both agree that Ning Yan is a simple-minded idiot with strong limbs.
This point is largely reflected in the second half of Yu Li's book.
