Chapter 6
As a young girl who was quite 'dirty-minded' even before joining the crew, Jian Wei also had a&h.e.l.lip;vivid&h.e.l.lip; imagination. For example, she'd claimed that the purpose of this trip with Lai Xiao Shuang was to sleep with the Male G.o.d. The folks back home could bear witness; she had sworn that she would definitely climb into Jiang Yi's bed.
Unfortunately, she only dared to enthusiastically talk about it; she never thought to put her talks into practice. Of course, she did not expect that, on her first day joining the crew&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;she would directly confront Male G.o.d's crotch!
The scene before her eyes was too shocking! Jian Wei's mind resembled the fireworks during Chinese New Year: completely blown up!
She&h.e.l.lip;she&h.e.l.lip;in the end, what did she just see?
She was blind!
Jiang Yi stared blankly at the girl's face that was becoming more and more red. She accidentally met his eyes, and as if her hair was on fire, she frantically looked away. Ultimately, she buried her face on the cat's back, as if she this method was an effective way to hide herself.
He was also aware that this position was quite strange. A young and pretty girl, kneeling at his feet with a red face, facing his&h.e.l.lip;
Jiang Yi let out a soft sigh and turned his body sideways, not revealing any trace of discomfort. He glanced up indifferently, just to see the door opening and someone coming in.
Jian Wei couldn't see a thing.She only heard footsteps getting closer. Her heart was in her throat. She regretted being too impulsive, going so far as to hide under the desk.. If she were to be found, she didn't know how she would explain the situation!
She was somewhat curious about the person who just entered the room. If it was Jiang Yi's staff, maybe she didn't need to hide&h.e.l.lip;
”Jiang Yi, why are you hiding here?” Zhou Peipei's voice sounded just like cold springs, penetrating the desk, drilling straight into Jian Wei's ears.
Why, oh why was it her? Jian Wei hopelessly closed her eyes.
Jiang Yi did not immediately answer. Zhou Peipei found that he was looking at her face for a while before he suddenly smiled, like he suddenly remembered something funny.
He leaned back in his chair as he asked lightly: ”Shouldn't I ask you that question? What are you doing here instead of shooting?”
”Today is Jiang laos.h.i.+'s first day joining the group. I just remembered that I haven't welcomed you yet.”
Zhou Peipei speaking like this felt really peculiar to Jian Wei. Perhaps Jiang Yi also felt the same because he didn't give a response.
Zhou Peipei paused before she asked: ”Zhu Jing, she didn't accompany you?”
Zhu Jing? Why did she mention her?
Jian Wei frowned. If she remembered correctly, Zhu Jing was not only Jiang Yi's agent; she was also Zhou Peipei's as they both were signed to the same company. Therefore, although this was the first time they'd cooperated in a drama as a couple, there had been cp powderabout the pair on the internet for ages , yy-ing along the'brother and sister from the same master marrying each other' storyline.
”Jing jie has something to do in Hong Kong. I don't need her to accompany me when I am just joining the crew.”
”So it is like that. I thought she didn't dare to see my face, that's why she didn't come,” Zhou Peipei coldly said.
She didn't close the door; behind her back was the empty corridor. Jiang Yi put his leg on the table againand laughed, ”If you have anything else to say, say it. Otherwise, don't disturb my sleep.”
”You are so impatient. Going along with Zhu Jing's scheming against me, yet you still have this att.i.tude? Take a look at this, don't you think you owe me an explanation?!” She asked as she threw something on the table. It was her cell phone, opened to a webpage showing a news article. Jiang Yi's eyes fell on the t.i.tle.
<< Zhou Peipei's love exposure! Together with singer Jiang Yi late at night at the airport, leaving in the same car! >>
Below the headline were a few pictures. One of them showed the congested airport lane and the girl's blurry face as the crowds surrounding her as she squeezed inside the car. Afterwards, someone was able to shoot a picture of Jiang Yi's nanny car from the back.
He looked atthe article for a full three seconds before he finally raised his hand to hold his forehead, looking like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After a moment, he let out a sigh and said: ”It was a misunderstanding.”
Zhou Peipei's arms were folded across her chest, her expressions becoming more and more daunting.
Jiang Yi's eyes inadvertently cast a glance under the table where the girl was doing her best to shrink under it.
She once again raised her head, her pair of big eyes gazing into his, apparently wanting to know the situation outside. Her small face was full of tension. Her hand was covering the cat's mouth. Jiang Yi was really worried that she would smother the cat to death.
He looked up and swallowed his intended arguments as he said: ”I can see why you are suspicious. But Peipei, this time you really are thinking too much.”
Zhou Peipei's face slightly changed. Jiang Yi's expression looked ordinary, just as it always had in the past. She was silent for a long time. Her tone was gentle when she eventually said: ”This is not the first time. She was afraid that I would terminate my contract, so she used every means to show goodwill towards me. On the other hand,she's afraid that I really will terminate the contract, so perhaps to cut her losses she used me to help you and perhaps a few of the others to promote. This kind of double dealing, we didn't discuss it in advance so it really makes me feel disgusted.”
Zhou Peipei loudly laughed, ”Anyway, she never thought that I would become quite so popular. Surely, the person she hoped to continue the success of was you. She's probably mad at herself for not kicking me out sooner.
Listening to her words, Jian Wei could relate to why she was upset..
Zhou Peipei's anger was not directed at Jiang Yi, but at their agent, Zhu Jing. As far as Jian Wei knew, of the , 5 artists under Zhu Jing, only Zhou Peipei had experienced a smooth success, so she thought that Zhou Peipei would be given the most attention. Now it appeared that that was not the case?
Before she could think clearly, Zhou Peipei went on to add: ”I know that you two are from the same hometown. Jiang Yi, this thing&h.e.l.lip;if you admit it, it's fine. If you don't, well, that's fine too. I just want to give you a heads up. Commiting to acting inthis drama with you is already me showing *benevolence. After this, don't accuse me of not remembering the friends.h.i.+p between **us.”
*仁至义尽 rén zhì yì jìn (idiom) - help in every way humanly possible
**同門 tóngmén – the fellow disciples; disciples studying under the same master.
This was simply a threat.
Jian Wei's heart ferociously jumped and she couldn't help gasp. The sound was so clear in the quiet room.
Zhou Peipei's expression changed. She looked around in disbelief, barking, ”Who's there?!”
She stepped forward, wanting to examine the room, however, Jiang Yi heedlessly reached out his hand to stop her.
Zhou Peipei was furious, ”Jiang Yi, what are you doing? Let go!”
”Allowing you to enter the room was my benevolence towards you. If you go forward, then don't blame me for not remembering the friends.h.i.+p between us,” Jiang Yi said with a smile.
