Her voice was filled with frustration and grievance, Lu Beichen responded with, "What’s wrong?"
"I miss you!" She spoke with a nostalgic tone, "I miss you so, so much!"
Lu Beichen let out a knowing laugh, "I miss my Mrs. Lu too, so much that I can’t sleep!"
"Little Uncle, I really want to hug you!" She turned over in bed, hugging the blanket as if she were holding him, "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, but I can’t be with you all!"
"Well, I’ll let you hug me then!" he chuckled softly.
Only then did Ji Niandong feel slightly relieved, as if no matter how big the grievance and sadness, as long as he was there, everything felt better!
"What is Little Uncle doing now? Have you showered? Did you eat well...?"
She bombarded him with many questions, Lu Beichen replied with a smile, "I’m in the study looking at documents, will shower shortly, Sister Zhou prepared our dinner, don’t worry!" He took a breath, "Mrs. Lu misses me so much after just half a day, do you want to switch careers and become my secretary, the personal kind!"
"I don’t want to!" Ji Niandong stuck her tongue out.
The two talked for quite a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone. Ji Niandong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better, only then did she notice the WeChat message on her phone, it was from Chi Yue.
"My room is diagonally across from Lin Ji Yang’s, you... are you okay?"
Ji Niandong replied, "You saw it all?"
He took a while to reply, "Sorry, the noise was rather loud, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I intended to leave but if anyone saw me, it would create more trouble!"
Chi Yue held his phone, gazing intently at the screen, his long eyelashes almost covering his entire eyes.
His words were reasonable and considerate, speaking with him always made her feel relaxed and comfortable, maybe it was because they had known each other since childhood!
"It’s alright, if you heard it, you heard it, it’s no big deal anyway!" She sighed, still feeling a bit lost inside, at least, she truly considered Zhou Yiqing a friend before.
She had known him when she first entered the entertainment industry five years ago, and five years later, he was the first to warmly welcome her back!
It was somewhat distressing, after all!
But, after chatting with Little Uncle, she felt much better!
Now with Chi Yue’s inquiry, she felt a subtle lingering frustration.
"As long as you’re okay, get some rest, you’ll be busy tomorrow!"
"Okay, you get some rest too!"
While talking to him, Ji Niandong also noticed the trainee group was mentioning her again. She clicked in and saw many messages, since they often chatted, she had set it to do not disturb, so many messages had gone unnoticed.
She clicked in and slowly scrolled down, discovering they were teasing each other, chatting animatedly.
During which they mentioned her, saying she was unattainably cool!
Ji Niandong chuckled, these guys were really good with words!
Seeing them bantering and teasing each other, her mood lifted unconsciously, she tossed her phone aside and turned around to take a shower!
Once Zhou Yiqing returned to his own room, he quickly dialed Shen Congjun’s number, "What’s your deal? I told you last time your sister saw us together, didn’t you make her keep quiet?!"
"My sister won’t keep quiet just because I tell her to! She saw us but we weren’t doing anything, just got into a car, why are you suddenly so agitated? Did something happen?"
"Your sister told Tongtong, she now suspects us and doesn’t trust me anymore!"
"Really?" Shen Congjun’s voice didn’t sound anxious, instead, it carried a hint of excitement, "You’re saying Tongtong knows and cares about us being together?"
