Chapter 60: Face-to-Face CP
Chapter 60
At the Jing family home, three people were sitting in a row watching television.
On the large screen, the TV drama "Monarch" was playing, currently showing a scene with Jing Zejun.
She was portraying General Jiusheng, standing on the city walls surrounded by corpses, with only a few of her soldiers remaining.
Jing Zejun wore battle armor, her robe stained red with blood, holding a sharp spear, her eyes filled with determination and resolve.
Facing the approaching enemy, she showed no sign of weakness.
The camera zoomed in for a close-up, capturing Jing Zejun's indescribable tenacity as she wielded her spear against the enemy leader, only to fall to his blade.
As she fell, gazing at the azure sky, she murmured, "Chu Yuanchen, I've stood by your side for nineteen years. This is the last time I'll stand before you."
In the distance, Wen Qingyan, playing Chu Yuanchen, arrived, looking at the scene in disbelief, his face as pale as paper, lips tightly pressed, stumbling off his horse and running over.
Seeing that Jing Zejun's character had breathed her last, his eyes filled with pain and despair, as if his very soul had been torn apart.
Jing Yi was deeply moved by this scene, her eyes brimming with tears.
Beside her, Jing Zeqian looked somewhat annoyed but still handed her a tissue, while Jing Zejun appeared a bit embarrassed.
[So touching! Junjun and Wen are truly a perfect match! My JunQing Couple!]
Jing Zejun's eyes flickered slightly, not having heard before that Jing Yi was a fan of her pairing with Wen Qingyan.
Noticing Jing Zeqian's darkening expression beside her, she quickly turned her head, pretending to focus on the TV.
Jing Yi, still immersed in the show, didn't notice the change in the other two's expressions.
The on-screen comments were also intently focused on the drama.
[My General Jiusheng! Your Yuanchen married that woman just three months after your death!]
[Although I'm not a fan of Jing Zejun, I'm really angry that "Monarch" ended like that!]
[I'll always believe Chu Yuanchen only loved Jiang Jiusheng!]
[By the way, these three have been sitting in front of the TV for an hour now, aren't they going to do something else?]
Evidently, Director Xu also felt this couldn't continue, and asked, "It's almost lunchtime, are you three planning to cook?"
Jing Yi snapped out of the storyline, looking left and right to find both of them staring at her, giving her a slight sense of foreboding.
[No way, can't we just order takeout? I never said I could cook, did I?]
Jing Zeqian's eyes lit up; he had only wanted to pass this task to Jing Yi, not expecting an unexpected bonus.
Jing Zejun had also instinctively wanted to ask Jing Yi's opinion.
"Cooking is no big deal for Jing Yi Yi!"
Before Jing Yi could say anything, Jing Zeqian had already settled the matter.
Jing Yi glared at Jing Zeqian.
[Easy for you to say when you're not the one doing it.]
She sighed inwardly, accepting this cruel reality. It wasn't that she couldn't stubbornly insist on Jing Zeqian cooking, but she was worried about being 'poisoned'...
"Let me be clear, I only know how to make some simple home-style dishes."
The two sitting on the sofa nodded in unison, obediently not objecting.
[I didn't expect Jing Yi to be the only one among the three who can cook!]
[Haha, Junjun and Little Jing CEO are so docile!]
"Then let's change clothes and go out to buy groceries."
Jing Zeqian looked puzzled, "Aren't there various ingredients in the kitchen?"
Jing Yi glanced at him, "I only need some fresh, simple ingredients." Wouldn't it be a waste to use the food in the fridge that only Auntie Wang could make the best use of?
[Is she really able to cook?]
[Could it be she's planning to buy ready-made food outside?]
[What kind of ingredients are they that it's such a big deal?]
After changing into casual clothes, they prepared to visit a nearby supermarket. The camera crew followed them to the garage.
"Aren't we going to a nearby supermarket?"
Jing Zejun smiled, "It's still quite far, and we'll have to carry the groceries back." After all, even reaching the main gate was quite a distance.
The camera panned across the garage, steadying to capture each car.
[...Sorry, did I accidentally enter a car show livestream?]
[The Jing family really keeps redefining my understanding of 'luxury' every time!]
[Is that the 'Night'?]
[Could that car be the 'Night' bought by the mysterious tycoon?!]
[If we were to exchange one car for one house...]
"Which one do you want to drive?"
Jing Yi raised an eyebrow, surprised that Jing Zeqian wasn't worried about her driving today.
Ignoring her, Jing Zeqian casually chose a red SUV that Jing Yi often drove and got in.
After Jing Yi took the driver's seat, a staff member asked Jing Zeqian in the back, "Is there someone in the family who particularly likes cars?"
Leaning back in his seat, Jing Zeqian replied, "Actually, we're all okay with them, but the one who likes cars the most is right there in front." He nodded towards Jing Yi, who was driving.
"We usually have drivers when we go out, so we rarely drive ourselves. Jing Yi Yi really enjoys driving herself, and that 'Night' is her favorite car."
Jing Zejun glanced at Jing Zeqian, amusement flashing in her eyes. He was certainly more talkative now than before.
The staff member continued, "Is it the black sports car in the middle?"
Jing Zeqian nodded, "That car was originally bought by my brother as an art piece for viewing, but now it's almost become Jing Yi Yi's exclusive ride."
After learning about the value of the 'Night' from the on-screen comments, the netizens became even more excited.
[A limited edition sports car, and she just drives it like that?!]
[That's the 'Night'! Why drive it? I feel like even touching it would be damaging!]
[But isn't it a waste to just let it sit there? Besides, it's someone else's car, right? It's their freedom to let whoever they want drive it.]
[The 'Night' isn't just expensive to buy, it's expensive to maintain. The cost of maintaining it definitely won't be cheaper than buying it!]
About ten minutes later, they arrived at a nearby supermarket.
Jing Yi and Jing Zejun strolled leisurely in front, while Jing Zeqian pushed the shopping cart behind them, looking bored.
The cart was full of various snacks, with no trace of ingredients for lunch.
"Junjun, what do you want for lunch?"
"If I tell you, can you make it?"
Jing Yi chose to selectively ignore Jing Zeqian's sarcastic comment.
Jing Zejun looked towards the fresh food section, "I'm fine with anything, just make what you're good at."
"Does no one care what I want to eat?" Jing Zeqian complained while pushing the cart behind them.
[Little Jing CEO is so cute, I thought he'd be the cool CEO type, but he's actually the tsundere type.]
[Hahaha, following behind and muttering complaints, how adorable!]
[I even feel like Junjun and the others might have almost forgotten there's still someone behind them.]
[I must say, this tycoon family is quite down-to-earth.]
[Come on, it's just a 'reality' show, what's so special about it?]
