Chapter 59: Come Here, Man.
Chapter 59
After a busy day, Ji Nian returned to the villa without Yu Luobai. He opened his phone and sent the lyrics of Fairytale to Yu Luobai. He also recorded a video of himself playing the accompaniment downstairs and sent it to her.
The copyright issues had already been signed. Like with Ordinary Road, she could enjoy the rights to cover the song. The production of the accompaniment was the responsibility of Yu Luobai's team.
Exhausted, Ji Nian lay in bed, recalling her acting lessons with Yu Luobai today. Watching Yu Luobai go from patient to gradually frowning, Ji Nian felt truly embarrassed.
She really couldn't act. That's why she decided to humbly take lessons, and had almost angered Yu Luobai. Recalling that he had to rush off to filmings later, and the sigh of relief on his face, Ji Nian collapsed on her pillow and heaved a deep sigh.
What the man had said before leaving further damaged her confidence.
"You have...quite a lot of room for improvement."
Seeing the wordless expression on Yu Luobai's face, Ji Nian felt somewhat ashamed. Grabbing the quilt, she covered her face, unable to stop herself from yelling a few times to vent her frustration.
Suddenly, the handsome face of Yu Luobai flashed through her mind. Ji Nian was startled, and couldn't help replaying the scene.
The way he had seriously acted today - the lighting at the music bar wasn't too bright either. Under the warm lights, the man's chiseled face carried an air of nobility. When he delivered his lines, he was truly too handsome! Just thinking about it made Ji Nian a little excited.
"No, no no." Ji Nian shook her head and quickly slapped her own face, murmuring to herself: "Calm down, calm down. How can I admire him like a fan?"
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the faint sound of the door closing downstairs. Ji Nian was startled, and looked towards the balcony - it was dark outside already. Who had come home?
At that moment downstairs, Shen Shuyao's cheeks were still flushed. She had just gone out for dinner with Ye Jingzhan, and the two of them had naturally returned together.
Seeing the shy look on the woman's face, Ye Jingzhan felt happy. He put his arm around her waist, startling her.
"Mr. Ye..." Shen Shuyao lowered her head, her heartbeat quickening, not daring to look at the man's face.
Ye Jingzhan was provoked by the woman's appearance, recalling that night. His body gradually grew hot, and he firmly gripped her chin.
Shen Shuyao was domineeringly pulled into the man's embrace, and forcibly had her chin lifted. Her earlobes and cheeks grew even redder.
Seeing the woman's crimson lips, a cryptic darkness flashed through Ye Jingzhan's eyes. He gently bit down, tangling his tongue with hers.
From her initial slight struggle, Shen Shuyao was gradually led by the man to sink into it completely.
Ye Jingzhan's passion was ignited. With a sweep of his arm, he picked her up horizontal, intending to head upstairs to the bedroom.
At that moment upstairs, Ji Nian had a completely dumbfounded expression. She had come out to see who had come home after hearing the door open downstairs.
She definitely hadn't expected to see such an explosive scene, and stood frozen on the staircase, stunned.
And so Ye Jingzhan carried Shen Shuyao, looking up the stairs, while Ji Nian stood on the second floor looking down.
The scene froze like that, Shen Shuyao was startled, her mind exploding in an instant. She struggled free from the man's embrace.
Ji Nian regained her senses, and awkwardly but politely smiled, "Pretend I'm not here, not here! I'll go tidy my room immediately!"
After speaking, Ji Nian didn't hesitate to run into the master bedroom. She hurriedly shoved the messy clothes on the bed into the wardrobe, then took her own commonly worn female lead's clothes into the guest room opposite.
Ye Jingzhan, who had calmly walked up the stairs, stood outside watching the panic-stricken woman tidying up the room. He couldn't help but frown.
If not for coming back today, it seemed like he had completely forgotten there was another woman staying in the villa.
Ji Nian saw the two standing at the door. She sped up her actions and tidied up before rushing out with her phone charger.
She smiled awkwardly at the man, "Done tidying up."
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly froze in place, recalling something. The president was a bit OCD. She had forgotten to change the bedsheets!
In a flash, she immediately turned back. Under the dumbfounded gazes of the two, she changed the bedsheets, quilt cover and pillowcases in the fastest speed possible.
Ji Nian inexplicably felt the male lead's imposing aura. Her mind was a little nervous as she carried the bedsheets and quilt covers out again.
Facing the man's cold expression, she blinked her innocent big eyes and hurried downstairs with her head lowered.
Only then did Shen Shuyao come back to her senses. Recalling that scene, she was extremely embarrassed, standing in place at a loss with a red face.
Ye Jingzhan also hadn't expected this. The strange fire in his body just now had been ruthlessly extinguished.
Ji Nian ran downstairs and roughly threw the quilt cover into the washing machine before adding detergent and pressing start to let it wash inside.
She stood outside on the balcony, heaving a huge sigh of relief. She had almost lost herself for a while, forgetting this was the male lead's territory.
Upstairs, Shen Shuyao awkwardly explained, "Xiao Nian doesn't have much work, so she spends most of her time at home."
Ye Jingzhan was unhappy to have his good deed interrupted, but didn't show it. He just nodded coldly before going back downstairs.
Seeing the two come down, Ji Nian thought - she was done for! She had disturbed the male lead's good deed. Would he hold it against her?
"Xiao Nian..." Shen Shuyao walked over with a red face, originally wanting to explain something.
"You two..." Seeing the female lead come over, Ji Nian asked curiously in a low voice, "Since when have you been so close?"
Knowing the woman had seen that earlier scene, Shen Shuyao lowered her reddened face and answered, "We've been going out for meals frequently recently."
"How shameless, having a secret affair and not telling me." Ji Nian murmured, if not for witnessing that scene today, she wouldn't have known the male and female leads had progressed so swiftly.
But thinking about it, the two in the book, despite their initial contradictions, the female lead was still often forcibly taken advantage of by the male lead.
Seeing how well the two seemed now, it didn't appear the contradictions in the book had occurred. Could the plot have deviated because of her?
"Sorry, Xiao Nian, I haven't had time to spend with you lately." Shen Shuyao looked extremely remorseful.
From the corner of her eye, Ji Nian saw the male lead sitting on the sofa emanating coldness, reading a newspaper with an aloof expression.
"Silly, what's there to apologize for?" Ji Nian laughed, "I'll feel at ease as long as you two are happily in love."
Hearing the words "in love", Shen Shuyao's face flushed as she softly responded, "Mm..."
