Chapter 1
“The two of you haven’t done it yet? Then where did the hickey on your collarbone come from?” Jin Nian had just changed into her third gown for the day in the changing area on the fourth floor of Fubai Wedding Dress Shop. Her slender fingers held the hem of the gown as she walked out carefully. The bright white muslin paired with the dazzling diamonds made her skin look whiter than snow. The sudden redness on her exquisite collarbone looked as if someone had pinched her, it was hard to ignore.
Jin Nian sighed helplessly, “Sis, it really was a mosquito bite.”
Qiao Ranran frowned slightly, “Alright, but that’s not the main point. The main point is, can Jiang Qingchi really hold it? ”
Jin Nian nodded with a normal expression. The fishtail style accentuated the waist, but the flaw was obvious. It was not suitable for women with big breasts and looked a little flirtatious. Qiao Ranran clicked her tongue in wonder. “Oh my gosh, I really admire him. If it were me, I would be so eager to sleep with you every day.”
“Please, keep your voice down. Don’t let me die of embarrassment here.”
Qiao Ranran went up to her, her malicious gaze sweeping across her fair and smooth skin, then her slender waist, and finally her full cleavage. “Jiang Qingchi is a Christian, right? However, this is the first time I’ve seen someone so pious. He can endure a sexy beauty like you walking in front of him every day. No wonder he can immerse himself in composing for so many years.”
Jin Nian smiled and glared at her. “You’re right. Qingchi is really dedicated. I can’t even find him when he’s creating.”
“Then you don’t want to either?”
“Want what?”
“The art of love. He has to endure because of his faith. Can you endure it?”
“Qiao Ranran, if you continue to casually release the dirty thoughts in your mind in this beautiful place, I’ll really pretend that I don’t know you.” Jin Nian’s face suddenly felt hot, like a fish that had been fried and could not jump up. Not wanting to continue this shameful topic, she turned around and entered the fitting room to change into another set of main gauze recommended by the shop owner.
Qiao Ranran did not mind: “But Jin Nian, marriage is a big deal. You have to think about it.” Jin Nian’s cheerful voice came from the fitting room.
“I’ve been thinking about it for six years. Don’t worry. By the way, have you finished trying on your bridesmaid dress?”
“I’ve been done.” Qiao Ranran swallowed the rest of her words and could only sigh softly.
Summer Monogatari was nominated for the Best Animated Short FilmAward at the Asian Film Awards. The trending topics were pinned to the top on Weibo. Last night, there were several hot topic news articles about one person, Jiang Qingchi. The remaining few related trending searches followed closely behind were: Summer Monogatari’s Best Art Film, Jiang Qingchi’s amateur girlfriend, Jiang Qingchi landed at Binhai Airport today, and the scene was very lively. Today’s entertainment section was obviously occupied by him alone. At the film awards, Jiang Qingchi, the new animation director, was a dark horse that broke out of the tight encirclement. His Chinese comics that had represented the mediocre Chinese comics industry now made a name for themselves at the Asian Film Festival. Two-dimensional fans spontaneously praised Jiang Qingchi’s works over the years on Weibo, claiming that Jiang Qingchi was the man who saved the country’s comics with his own strength. In recent years, the Chinese comics industry had been developing quietly. Although it was an exaggeration, he had indeed reached a place where foreigners could see him. So even if he did not win the award in the end, it was still a glorious moment in his life.
Compared to the popularity brought by the animation itself, Jiang Qingchi’s appearance was not inferior to that of the most popular young talent in the current talent show. His popularity was obviously higher. The paparazzi had just taken a set of photos of Jiang Qingchi landing at Binhai Airport. The photos quickly appeared on the top page of the trending search. The professional high-definition camera captured every pore on Jiang Qingchi’s face. Even so, his face was really impeccable. Jiang Qingchi was dressed in casual clothes at the airport for security checks. After putting his mobile phone and ID card in the conveyor belt box, he stood back in front of the staff and lazily lowered his head to accept the inspection. Probably because of the blinding flash, Jiang Qingchi took off his sunglasses from his short-sleeved shirt and put them on after the security check. His exquisite jawline made him look a little fierce, and his entire body exuded a cold aura. He was only dressed in simple and ordinary casual wear, but he made it seem like he was wearing a high-end clothing brand. No wonder the fans who saw the photo first were clamoring. The perfection of fashion really depended on the face. With Jiang Qingchi’s face, even if he was an idiot without any talent, he could still win a large number of people to follow behind him and call him husband. Ever since Summer Monogatari was released and became a dark horse that made 1.2 billion in box office sales, the background information of the director, Jiang Qingchi, had long been dug out by the fans.
