Chapter 13 Part2 (1/2)
“Well?” he asked.
“Ah? Good, okay…”
He turned and she lowered her head. Lights illuminated the corridor, and the two of them, standing opposite each other, remained silent.
She looked down at her dress and recalled what Yin Ru had said. This was the first time she had dressed up like this. Before she came she was nervous and didn't ask a single question. In the end, wearing a dress like this was embarra.s.sing.
The door was pushed open, and Lin Hao came in followed by Lai Xiao Shuang. Catching sight of the pair they immediately smiled.
“That's great, we've found you! Yi-ge, guess what? We've settled it.”
Lai Xiao Shuang said, “Jing-jie, they're coming immediately, I will bring you… to leave.”
Success.
In other words, Zhou Peipei is back. And she is leaving…
Jian Wei didn't answer or move, looking subconsciously at Jiang Yi. He sighed and his expression relaxed, as if he had finally solved this big problem.
Lai Xiao Shuang took Jian Wei's hand, “Let's go quickly.” Then she dragged her away. There cannot be two Zhou Peipei's here!
Jian Wei said, “Then, I am leaving…”
Jiang Yi nodded. “Go. Today… thank you.”
Jian Wei only whispered, “You don't need to be so polite…”
As she walked away, she looked back. Jiang Yi stood at the door of the hall, as if it were a dividing line. As soon as he turned around, he would return to that illusory, star-filled world. And she would be brought away by Lai Xiao Shuang, farther and farther from him, and farther and farther from that world.
“Hey.”
Jiang Yi suddenly spoke. Jian Wei turned around in surprise. Jiang Yi held the metal doork.n.o.b in one hand standing elegantly at the side of the doorway. His eyebrows raised as he smiled at her. “What Yin Ru said is true. Today's dress is very pretty, it looks good with your skin.”
Two hours later, Jian Wei was sitting in a crowded roadside stall, in front of two red dishes and hot and spicy crayfish. She had taken off her expensive dress, wiped off her makeup, and put on a t-s.h.i.+rt and jeans. She looked at the sky through a pair of black-rimmed gla.s.ses, so that n.o.body would connect her with the radiant girl on the red carpet.
Lai Xiao Shuang downed a whole beer, exhaled and couldn't stop laughing. “Ha ha ha, it's crazy! It's too unbelievable! Even my life has such a crazy day as this! A real version of 'true and false princesses!'”
From leaving the venue to the present, Lai Xiao Shuang had been in a state of excitement. She still didn't know if she believed that the person running around on the red carpet had really been Jian Wei!
Jian Wei looked around still a little uncomfortable. She originally didn't want to come here to eat, as there were too many people and she was always afraid that she would be recognised by someone.
“It's safe, la! If I said it's fine, it's fine!” Lai Xiao Shuang put on her gloves and grabbed a crayfish. As she peeled it she said, “Zhou Peipei is at the awards ceremony, and with how you look now, hahaha, I am not belittling you, but at this time, people who can mistake you for Zhou Peipe, their eyesight is definitely not good, or rather, it's bad to the extreme…”
Jian Wei was speechless for a second before finally laughing.
The sound of men's voices as they did huaquan mixed with the chattering laughter of girls; the white steam from the crayfish rising in sprials, the smell causing people to have to swallow their saliva. This was the world she was familiar with. The gorgeous and unreal hall of the ceremony has already faded to become nothing more than a dream.
“Speaking of which, you and Jiang Yan really do have fate together, to do something like that together…” Lai Xiao Shuang said.
Jian Wei had already told her about the matter at the airport where Jiang Yi had accidentally taken her away. Tonight, as a bystander to Jian Wei who had chased after the stars for so many years, and as a close friend, Lai Xiao Shuang almost envied her.
To have close contact with those idols so many times, ah…
Jian Wei had no time to answer, as her phone rang first. She had turned it off before and it was only now that she had time to open it. It was the WeChat group with her, Pumpkin Sauce and the other fans who were chasing Jiang Yi.
