    Chapter 56 New Year’s Eve in a Foreign Country

    Like flower petals dipped in frosting.

    So Chu Yiqi stuck out the tip of his tongue and touched the corner of Xi Ai’s lips.

    The moment he raised his eyes to Wang Wang, Chu Yi expected to see Xi Ai’s eyes curled up, dyed a peach color like the passing spring breeze.

    Xi Ai raised her hand and grabbed the clothes at Chu Yiqi’s waist. She was about to respond, but Chu Yiqi backed away.

    Xi Ai pursed her lips and was about to move away pretending to be angry, but Chu Yiqi kissed Xi Ai’s jaw again.

    The moonlight shines through the wisteria and blends into the warm yellow ambient light in the yard.

    Stars all over the ground.

    “Xi Ai…”

    Chu Yiqi moved away even slightly, but still insisted on pressing Xi Ai against the pillar.

    “Yes.” He was clearly in a passive position, but both the kiss just now and the tone of his current speech seemed particularly inconsistent.

    So what Nie Chuiying saw when he went out was this scene.

    Most of Xi Ai’s face was covered by Chu Yiqi, her hands were placed on Chu Yiqi’s shoulders, her curled fingertips were holding onto Chu Yiqi’s knitted sweater, and she slightly raised her head to look at Chu Yiqi.

    The unspoken words were swallowed back, Nie Chuiying took half a step back, grabbed Shi Yunshan’s wrist and ran away.

    I can easily take out my mobile phone and send a message to a small group of six people.

    [嘤嘤嘤: Xi Ai, where are you guys? Run quickly, dinner is about to begin.]

    The moment the message bell rang, Chu Yiqi opened his eyes. He couldn’t react for a long time. He groped around the pillow for a long time, but his fingers were never grasped, so he woke up a little.

    She sat up, particularly disgusted with dreaming.

    It’s mainly a dream that will wake you up because of hearing Xi Ai’s exclusive ringtone.

    If it is a dream, if it is you and me in the dream, does it matter whether it is reality or not?It’s better to dream a little longer.

    Just like in “South of the South”, Xue Nan will go crazy, can’t tell time, will be in a trance, thinking that her lover has not been left in the snowfield of the extreme south, and can’t tell whether she is Xue Nan or her lover…

    But Xue Nan was the most sober, soberly dreaming of a yellow beam dream, because they were deeply in love at that time.

    Chu Yiqi scratched his hair and pretended to comb it.

    Xi Ai finished recording the group song step by step in the next few weeks, and it was September in the blink of an eye.

    Xi Ai joins the group.

    “Thank you, Teacher Xi!”

    Xi Ai ordered coffee and afternoon tea, just like the repertoire for the second day every time she joined the group.

    As soon as I picked up a cup of vanilla latte, a hand took it over.

    This familiar voice…

    Xi Ai curled her lips and raised her head to see Yu Nianxi.

    “Why are you here today?” Xi Ai took another cup to the makeup artist’s assistant, and finally turned to the menacing five people.

    “Come to visit the class.” Nie Chuiying’s face emerged from Shi Yunshan’s shoulder.

    Chu Yiqi held a bag of biscuits and handed it to Xi Ai: “Happy startup.”

    “But you’re not surprised at all that we’re coming.”

    Xi Ai smiled, looked at Meng Yike and said, “This is Beicheng, Miss Xi knows everything.”

    “You have joined the group. Please Mr. Xi, please integrate into your 1920s.” Chu Yiqi said, “You are all here, can you order “Hate of Life and Death”?”

    “We can’t do it here for now, because the first scene will be filmed later.” Xi Ai pretended to be mysterious and said, “This is Qingzhi’s performance, Xi Ai can’t do it.”

    Xi Ai walked onto the stage. From a long distance away, Chu Yiqi could only see her face occasionally revealed behind a layer of curtain. Her voice was a bit distant, but her singing was quite standard.

    She heard the recognized vocalist in the team begin to mutter: “Can someone explain where Xi Ai had the time to learn such a voice?”

    “Who knows.”

    Nie Chuiying looked at Chu Yiqi and asked, “Don’t you think this scene will be very familiar to you, baby Qiqi?”

    Chu Yiqi didn’t comment, just held his hands, and then asked the staff next to him: “Can I take a photo quietly?”

    “Okay.”

    Chu Yiqi took out his phone and muttered with a smile, “I’m not familiar with it, I can’t remember.”

    Then just reproduce it step by step?

    Nie Chuiying smiled, then pulled Shi Yunshan’s sleeve, picked up Shi Yunshan’s cell phone and started typing.

    Fortunately, Shi Yunshan never played with his mobile phone in front of the camera. The mobile phone was with Nie Chuiying from the beginning, so it didn’t matter if it was photographed.

    Shi Yunshan glanced at the screen quietly, and the font was enlarged: “Let me tell you, the feeling of looking at the ancient and modern Chinese style festival from afar is so cute.”

    “Don’t worry about knocking CP. There is a proxy over there.” Shi Yunshan pressed the corners of his mouth back, looked at Nie Chuiying expressionlessly, then pulled Nie Chuiying’s wrist through his sleeves and let the staff go by.

    Nie Chuiying immediately stood up, put her phone in her crossbody bag, and patted the bag to calm down her shock.

    Several people sat aside and watched Xi Ai’s first scene.

    “Come and take a group photo.”

    Before even looking at the photo after taking it, Xi Ai started talking nonsense: “You took a bad photo!”

    “You’re not good-looking.” Yu Nianxi took nine shots in a row without looking back.

    “Hey hey hey!”

    “I will tell Director Qin that you said she has poor aesthetics.” Xi Ai held Yu Nianxi’s neck in a half-serious threat.

    Yu Nianxi was not afraid, so she opened her mouth and said, “Pinch me. I’m not sure whether you’re a fan or a sister on the other side of the mountain. Just hit me. Let’s see if it’s bullying within the team or just a good relationship.”

    Xi Ai smiled and put down her hand, rolled up her sleeves, and said, “Do you think they wouldn’t be able to write a black post without this paragraph? Can you respect the quality of my black fans?”

    Chu Yiqi glanced at Xi Ai and lowered his voice and said, “Xi Ai, would you please respect Director Qin’s upcoming drama? Don’t worry about your image being reduced to rubbish.”

    “Okay, I’m sorry, Director Qin.”

    After saying who was coming, Qin Siyao came over and said, “Would you like to have dinner together tonight?”

    “Please Yaoyao, why can’t you come?” Shi Yunshan asked smoothly, “But shouldn’t we have something good to eat today?”

    “Sure.”

    Xi Ai went to the next show without chatting with them. On the way, she bargained with Qin Siyao: “Can we let the irrelevant people over there leave first? That’s weird.”

    “Not allowed!”

    Xi Ai didn’t pay much attention. She just finished taking one and came over to see the effect. Then she held her hands and bargained with Qin Siyao again: “Qin Qin, I think I can keep another one. It’s weird here.”

    “I just like working with you workaholics.” Qin Siyao nodded, and quietly commented with Chu Yiqi who moved a small stool to watch, “Pay attention to this Xi Ai, she always feels wrong, but if you have to ask her, she can’t tell why it’s wrong.”

    Chu Yiqi smiled and responded: “Yes, I always have to argue at the beginning every time I write because I can’t explain why it’s not good.”

    Chu Yiqi flipped through the album to retouch pictures, looking up from time to time, and took two new pictures, and finally went to get a book from Xi Ai’s assistant to read.

    The sky was getting dark, and the book in Chu Yiqi’s hand was taken away, and he looked up at Xi Ai, who was reading with her sleeves rolled up.

    The lights on the stage were dim and had a grainy feel from the last century.

    With the light behind him, Chu Yiqi didn’t meet Xi Ai’s eyes and only saw Xi Ai extending her hand again.

    “Director Qin Qin said we should call it a day, are you leaving?” Xi Ai asked her, raising the corners of her mouth and swallowing back the second half of the sentence with some difficulty.

    She wanted to say: “Are you leaving? Yesterday was not yesterday’s teacher?”

    Who told Chu Yiqi to write “Long Summer Days” while wearing a vest that Qin Siyao would be the director?

    But since Qin Siyao still didn’t know about it, Xi Ai had no choice but to hide the joke.

    But Chu Yiqi saw something unfinished at a glance.

    “Just let yesterday be yesterday, okay?”

    “Okay.”

    In fact, it is a very coincidental date, it is September 7th.

    anniversary.

    But no one mentioned it tacitly.

    Nie Chuiying only leaned in the back seat with Shi Yunshan after getting into the car, holding Shi Yunshan’s mobile phone to type a memo.

    Shi Yunshan waited for her to type and said, “Can your mobile phone work?”

    “To be honest, I forgot about home.” Nie Chuiying said without any burden.

    The moment before going out, in order to prevent my hand from slipping and clicking likes, I took Shi Yunshan’s mobile phone to read Weibo, so I naturally forgot to take my own mobile phone.

    Shi Yunshan smiled and looked at the mobile phone handed back by Nie Chuiying.

    [Hey hey hey, it’s September 7th again, I want to see Qinqin return to the stage.]

    [?]

    Shi Yunshan stared at Nie Chuiying, then at Xi Ai, and finally couldn’t help laughing.

    Although they stopped immediately, Yu Nianxi and Chu Yiqi still looked back with suspicion, trying to spot the two gossips in their eye contact.

    Shi Yunshan blinked and lightly elbowed Nie Chuiying twice.

    [Forgot that when I saw it, I lost the bet when I came back?]

    Because at that time, Nie Chuiying was determined to study for the final review with just one kiss: “…”

    After a moment of silence, Nie Chuiying changed the topic.

    [You said, they are weird, do they want to get back together or get married?]

    [Good question, I’ll send you to ask it.]

    Shi Yunshan looked at Xi Ai in the front row, who was wearing half of her earphones and answering a work call, her eyes moved, but she still whispered: “Think about it, when I first came back, it actually felt faster.”

    [I suddenly remembered that when I was abroad, there was a concert that happened to be New Year’s Eve in China. Did Xi Ai go to that concert?]

    Isn’t it?

    On New Year’s Eve of that year, Xi Ai flew abroad a day early, quietly slipped to the Royal Art Institute to sit in on a class in the last row, and then quietly left early to see Nadia.

    Got a concert ticket.

    “What a great time.”

    “I hope I chose the time specially.”

    So the next day on New Year’s Eve, the concert only ended at ten o’clock, and not many people really left. Chu Yiqi also stayed in the square together until twelve o’clock.

    On New Year’s Eve without fireworks, Chu Yiqi took out the ribbon from the sleeve of his Hanfu.

    It’s a snowy day, so there’s no need for snowflakes.

    Chu Yiqi also handed ribbons to some fans.Under the sky full of colorful ribbons, it was an exotic New Year’s Eve. They were separated from the crowd and even looked at each other deliberately.

    Chu Yiqi didn’t expect that Xi Ai would be there at the same time, and thought she wouldn’t be able to make it on New Year’s Eve.

    She suddenly wanted to see Xi Ai, so after she hired a car to take all the fans back, Chu Yiqi asked Nadia sideways, but she heard that Xi Ai had already gone back and caught an early morning flight.

    But no, that day Xi Ai went to the bar under Xi Yuchuan’s name, but she didn’t ask for a cup of Qingti Jasmine cocktail handed over by Nadia.

    Xi Ai looked at the only wine on the wine list named Chunshanwai in Chinese, but at the end she only ordered a glass of White Beauty.

    Chu Yiqi only went to the river to eat dessert that night, and spent the first night of the New Year with only a few lights across the city.

    It’s their first New Year’s Eve together.

    Shi Yunshan looked at Nie Chuiying’s words and moved his fingers.

    [Who knows during those times, apart from wanting to spend New Year’s Eve with fans, there was also a moment when Chu also hoped that Xi Ai would appear in the audience.]

    [I don’t know that our Xi Ai rarely misses any show, so I hope to see it.]

    [Actually, I feel more like a tacit look at each other but not stepping forward.]

    Nie Chuiying looked at it and sighed again, her hands typing harder.

    “Be nicer to my cell phone.” Shi Yunshan was helpless.

    Nie Chuiying immediately calmed down and smiled sweetly at Shi Yunshan, but Shi Yunshan pinched his face.

    [I have never understood the difference between the two of them acting like this and talking. They have to create some romance there.]

    Shi Yunshan didn’t know the details. He only saw some clues sometimes, but he never asked more.

    After all, Chu Yiqi didn’t want to say anything.

    [Sometimes you can be together immediately if you just like it.]

    Nie Chuiying couldn’t continue, and was urged out of the car when the car stopped.

    I failed to pay attention to the undercurrent in the front row.

    Xi Ai changed her clothes, tugged on the too loose cuffs of her sweater, turned back to look at Chu Yiqi, and in a gust of autumn wind, she lifted up her hair on her temples and looked at Chu Yiqi.

    His eyes looked dim and unclear in the night.

    Chu Yiqi didn’t dare to look back. He seemed to have said something, but Xi Ai couldn’t hear it.

    Chu Yiqi stretched out his hand to hold the car door and planned to jump out. Only after one foot was out did he realize that he was wearing high heels.

    Xi Ai stood aside and watched, waiting until Chu Yiqi’s toes touched the ground before stretching out her hand.
