Lu Beichen nodded, "Oh, is that what it was? So, you think being chosen by an ace agent like Ada is a pressure for me?"
"I originally thought so!" Ji Niandong smiled with pressed lips, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Lu Beichen reached out and pinched her cheek, then quickly retracted his hand, and Ji Niandong felt the pinched area still tingling.
He softly said, "Artists at YT Entertainment are recruited through selections, introduced by agents, or discovered by scouts. But every artist who joins has all their information clearly displayed in the company’s database. You’re someone I asked a scout to slip in; such artists can find suitable agents themselves, and if the agent is willing to take you on, it works out perfectly. There are also particularly outstanding ones that agents sign directly. Unexpectedly, your information was in there for only two days before it caught the eyes of such an excellent agent, as you say."
After he finished speaking, Ji Niandong felt even more over the moon, it was too incredible!
However, such an opportunity deserved gratitude to the man in front of her, "Little Uncle, thank you. I thought I would never realize my dreams in this lifetime, and even gave up without trying. Now, it seems like I’ve seen the dawn of hope. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I have to give it a try!"
Lu Beichen nodded heartily, "Not just try, but believe in yourself, you can do it!"
"Mm!" She nodded heavily, realizing how naïve she had been before, and decided to be true to herself moving forward!
"I haven’t eaten yet!" Lu Beichen said suddenly, his voice carrying a hint of grievance.
Ji Niandong was surprised, "It’s so late, how come you haven’t eaten, Little Uncle?" Seeing the more aggrieved expression in his eyes, "You were waiting for me to come back and cook dinner this whole time?"
"Yes!" He replied softly, "I’ve been conquered by your cooking skills, eagerly wanting to finish work every day just to eat your food."
His eyes were filled with deep laughter as he gazed at her, like he wanted to eat her cooking?
Ji Niandong avoided his gaze, stood up, and said, "I’ll go make you some food!"
She fled like a startled little bunny, Lu Beichen sighed slightly, leaning on the sofa watching her back, and thought how shy she was though she hadn’t done much yet. When would he finally get to eat?
Lu Beichen’s eyes lit up — she was shy, not scared; this reaction was very good!
He got up and casually walked over, asking, "What are you planning to make?"
"I didn’t buy groceries these two days, the fridge only has these left, is it okay?" Ji Niandong turned slightly, exposing the contents of the refrigerator completely in front of him.
Lu Beichen still looked at her and replied softly, "Anything you make is delicious, it’s all good!"
"Oh!" She couldn’t take his compliments at all, bowing her head to take out the vegetables, ready to wash them, "Little Uncle, you can tell me what you prefer to eat. When I go grocery shopping tomorrow, I’ll prepare it, and then I’ll think..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, as she was nearly immobile when Lu Beichen hugged her from behind, her head tucked in fear of bumping into him.
Her whole body stiffened, Lu Beichen reached over to take the vegetables from her hands, and started to help wash them too, in a manner that virtually circled her waist and enclosed her in his arms.
Ji Niandong’s hands almost froze, letting him handle it all.
