    Chapter 67 The best match

    Xi Ai just expressed surprise for a moment, and then switched back to Chinese: “Then let me tell you another secret.”

    “What?”

    This person’s voice is actually very suitable for singing, and when it comes to some convoluted foreign pronunciation, it has some natural appeal: “Actually, these days are all performed.”

    Chu Yiqi blinked, looking at the helpless look in his eyes, he clearly didn’t understand.But it was exactly what Xi Ai wanted, so she didn’t plan to say it again.

    “What?”

    “Secrets cannot be told a second time.”

    Chu Yiqi grabbed a pillow and threw it at Xi Ai half-heartedly: “What on earth is it? Xi Ai!”

    “Here.”

    Xi Ai smiled and hugged the pillow, and repeated it again – still in Italian.

    But strangely, this time Chu Yiqi didn’t say anything, he just thought about it thoughtfully, then “hum” and leaned against Xi Ai.

    The two of them didn’t speak, they just sat next to each other for a long time and watched a movie, which was a literary film.

    It was at this time that Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi remembered to talk about the events of the previous days.

    Xi Ai said: “Interview with Mr. Chu. What do you think of the hot searches in the past two days?”

    ——Some time ago, when Chu Yiqi went to pick up Xi Ai one day, he was photographed. Xi Ai happened to receive the small bouquet of eternal flowers.

    “It’s nothing.” Chu Yiqi hesitated and said, “Actually, I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw it.”

    She didn’t say anything, but Xi Ai still understood.

    It was obvious that their relationship was so tense during those days – at least it might have been difficult for Chu Yiqi – but someone still took photos, and most people thought they had a good relationship.

    According to one video, it feels like an “old married couple.”

    Xi Ai regretted it for a moment, but she felt that it didn’t matter if she walked a little longer, as long as she didn’t see Chu Yiqi approaching cautiously and tentatively.

    At least…the response is quicker and more obvious.

    After a while, she said, “I’m sorry.”

    Chu Yiqi didn’t expect such an answer. She said: “I don’t blame you, but we have reconciled now. And… I know, you were always here in those two years, I saw you.”

    She was talking about Xi Ai in the corner of the back row at those concerts, and also Xi Ai’s movements.

    It’s strange, Xi Ai comes in with the crowd every time, and always sits quietly in a very inconspicuous position.

    They were too far apart, and Chu Yiqi had never seen him clearly, but she always felt that she saw fatigue on that person’s face.

    ——Perhaps it was the psychological suggestion of always seeing Xi Ai turning around and having a tight schedule.

    Xi Ai pursed her lips, and finally smiled against Chu Yiqi for a while, without taking out the necklace that had been in her bag – keep it as a New Year’s gift.

    It seems to be like this every time. They always choose the same gift as the other party without knowing it, and one of them has to silently postpone the delivery time.

    Xi Ai’s fingertips landed on Chu Yiqi’s collarbone, pressing it gently and gently, and suddenly, as if she had discovered some secret, she pulled out Chu Yiqi’s necklace.Chu Yiqi: “…”

    How ambiguous are you, and then you hook up with my necklace?

    There was a smile in Xi Ai’s eyes, and on her fingertips were the two rings strung on the necklace by Chu Yiqi: “Do you still have them?”

    “Yeah. Did you throw it away?”

    Xi Ai felt a little aggrieved and said, “You have such a villainous heart!” She turned out a velvet ring box and said, “Tell me! What is this!”

    “Okay, let’s wear this one I bought!”

    Xi Ai nodded and put the ring on the little finger of her right hand.

    Chu Yiqi: “…”

    No, wait?

    Xi Ai put the necklace on Chu Yiqi again and looked at her from a distance.

    Chu Yiqi didn’t look into Xi Ai’s eyes – the light behind her was a bit dazzling, so her eyes fell on Xi Ai’s lips.

    She seemed to have laughed lightly. Before Chu Yiqi could confirm it, his consciousness was enveloped by Xi Ai’s aura.

    “Xi Ai.”

    Xi Ai stepped away and deliberately ignored Chu Zhi’s response: “Yeah.”

    That night, Xi Ai happily posted a photo to the six people in For 8 – two hands with rings on them. The rings were the ones she had posted once before.

    ——The two of them took it out and wore it again.

    Nie Chuiying: “…”

    Half an hour later, Chu Yiqi’s fingertips, slightly wrinkled by the warm water, pressed the enter key, and a photo appeared again behind a series of ellipses and question marks.

    ——The same two hands, but different perspectives.

    Ten seconds later, news about Nie Chuiying appeared. It was sent to Xi Ai quietly because she was not sure whether Chu Yiqi knew about it.

    [Are you deliberately fishing for the past two days?!]

    Xi Ai glanced at Chu Yiqi who had just sent the picture next to her, and quickly replied to Nie Chuiying: [bingo~ But Chu Yiqi doesn’t know.]

    [oh.]

    [Cat covers its mouth.jpg]

    Over there in the villa, Nie Chuiying was giving money to each of them while mumbling: “Xi Ai, you really disappoint me.”

    Shi Yunshan said: “It’s okay, you can win it back soon. Counting from the day Xi Ai left to today, no more, no less, 25 days. It’s closer to a month, please give me the money.”

    Nie Chuiying took back three hundred, which was equivalent to giving it only to Shi Yunshan.

    ——Not a loss.

    After several days, For8 gathered again – to attend a music festival.

    Chu Yiqi and Xi Ai came alone. As soon as they got in the car, Chu Yiqi pulled Xi Ai mysteriously and said, “Can I tell you a secret?”

    “What?”

    Chu Yiqi’s voice was very soft, but it almost sounded in Xi Ai’s ears.She said in slightly rusty French: “I’ve been pretending for the past few days.”

    After saying that, Chu Yiqi leaned on the chair and kept laughing, leaving Xi Ai to sit by the window and react for a while.

    “No, how did you know that?”

    Of course Chu Yiqi would not betray his teammates.

    Xi Ai stopped asking and silently went through many names in her mind, and finally settled on three words – Mu Jin.

    She bit her lower lip angrily, turned to Chu Yiqi, and scratched Chu Yiqi after making sure the partition was raised.

    “Hey, hey, hey, a gentleman talks but doesn’t use his hands!”

    Chu Yiqi smiled and said, “Oh, it’s not something extraordinary.”

    Xi Ai smiled sinisterly and said, “Yes, what’s the matter?”

    She grabbed Chu Yiqi’s wrist twice and eliminated the possibility of Chu Yiqi continuing to scream.

    Chu Yiqi was a little confused at first, but after regaining consciousness, he still raised his chin and responded.

    I don’t know how long it took, but Xi Ai said, “Remember to call me at seven o’clock, I have something to do.”

    Chu Yiqi didn’t bother to ask, so he just said, “Oh.”

    When they arrived at the place, Chu Yiqi had fallen asleep, and Xi Ai wanted to laugh.

    I was the one who obviously went to bed later!

    She got out of the car and walked around to Chu Yiqi’s side, opened the door for her, and said with a smile: “Chu Yiqi, you will be photographed if you don’t get up. Today’s entry: Chu Yiqi slept at the event. Chu Yiqi is showing off.”

    Chu Yiqi opened his eyes in a daze, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to Xi Ai. Xi Ai had already reached out to pull her, but the two of them blinked, looked at each other, and let go at the same moment.

    Chu Yiqi was completely awake: “…”

    “Watch your behavior, Mr. Xi, our CP fans are still hating Hai Qingtian after doing BE.”

    Xi Ai: “…”

    There’s nothing I can do about it. I browse around CP-related entries and Chaohua every day, and I can see four out of ten BE’s meals, which are all very presentable.

    Chu Yiqi got out of the car quickly, but because he was sleeping in the wrong position, his feet were a little numb and he couldn’t stand firmly.

    Xi Ai quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Shall we stand here for a while?”

    “I think it’s okay, let’s wait for them.”

    “Okay.” Xi Ai let go of her hand and continued to pretend to avoid suspicion.

    After a long time, the six people finally met.

    When signing autographs on the red carpet, none of them signed their names. They just signed “For 8” with one stroke each.

    Xi Ai was originally sitting with them all, and when she had time, she covered her mouth and chatted about the latest gossip. Suddenly she remembered the time and quickly touched Chu Zhizhu quietly.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “What time is it?”

    Chu Yiqi saw that the camera was not there, lowered his head and quickly looked at his phone, and said: “Six o’clock, five-eight.”

    Xi Ai straightened her skirt and said, “No, I have to leave.”

    “Where are you going?” Yu Nianxi was a little dissatisfied. People who leave after gossiping are the most disgusting.

    Chu Yiqi shrugged and said, “I don’t know. She told me when I was sitting in the car today that she was not there for a while.”

    Shi Yunshan didn’t react and repeated slowly: “Do it…Why is she like this?”

    The other five people were stunned for a long time. Nie Chuiying couldn’t hold back his laughter until his shoulders were shaking, but he couldn’t be too presumptuous, so he could only hold Shi Yunshan’s hand tightly under the cover of her skirt.

    Nie Chuiying said: “Why are you like this? What are you thinking about every day?”

    Chu Yiqi was also a little speechless, but what he wanted to say was what Yu Nianxi said: “For a person with a heart, everything is dirty.”

    “Okay, okay, let’s start reading. Stop laughing, so as not to be photographed saying something bad.” Meng Yike pressed his hand and made a “quiet” gesture.

    “The golden song of the year, Chu Yiqi – “Yi Yi”!”

    “Wow! I found my midnight snack again today.”

    “Second.”

    “Okay.” Chu Yiqi replied with a smile and put away the coat he was wearing.

    Meng Yike’s eyelids suddenly twitched, and he finally knew what felt wrong.

    ——This is obviously Xi Ai’s coat, right?

    Is it still what Xi Ai wore when she first walked on the red carpet?

    Great, today’s hot search – Chu Yiqi wears Xi Ai’s jacket.Marketing account, have you seen it?

    I don’t know what the rule is, but the person who presented the award to Chu Yiqi was Xi Ai.

    Chu Yiqi was a little surprised – it turned out that he was talking about such an illegal thing.

    Xi Ai looked at her and smiled proudly, taking advantage of her back to the camera.

    Xi Ai was very serious when she went on stage. She acted like “It’s all business, I don’t know who won the award” the whole time.

    Until…

    It wasn’t until the trophy was delivered to Chu Yiqi’s hand that he quietly touched Chu Yiqi’s palm.

    Chu Yiqi:…

    She advised herself eight hundred times, “You can’t lose face on the stage.” Xi Ai was happy anyway, and walked down very briskly.

    During the photo-taking stage, Chu Yiqi realized that the flowers in his hands were different from others – they were immortal flowers.

    It looks like winter cherry blossoms, but with a hint of green plum wine.

    This person is really… out of character, and I can’t get angry with her.

    ——Chu Yiqi would never admit that, in addition to the surprises he gave people from time to time, Xi Ai’s face and the suit he sometimes wore also accounted for a considerable part of it.

    ——This long dress today is also very good, and the pink diamond butterfly necklace is particularly pleasing to the eye.

    Both of them came back. Yu Nianxi looked around between them and clicked her tongue: “The power of capital is just for you two to show off your affection on the same stage, right?”

    Xi Ai felt no burden and said, “I am relying on myself, myself! Although the direction is different, the standard of the Best Actress Awards is not low.”

    “Come on, you are the most worthy of love than Jin Jian——”

    Xi Ai smiled and said: “Yes!”

    Chu Yiqi smiled and pulled Xi Ai.

    Nie Chuiying’s eyes were dull, and he scolded Shi Yunshan again. Shi Yunshan let out a “tsk” and stared at Nie Chuiying.

    “Well, it’s the same style.”

    Nie Chuiying looked at the hands of Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi.

    Shi Yunshan was silent for a long time and said: “Congratulations, I accidentally told the truth. Not only is it the same model, it is also a limited edition.”

    After a moment of silence, I don’t know if I was sighing that the two of them were so brave or something.

    Nie Chuiying looked at Shi Yunshan: “Let’s make a customized necklace.”

    Shi Yunshan: “…”

    After thinking about it for so long, are you deciding what to customize?

    “Okay.”

    The host is still tantalizing: “The best group of the year…who will win?”

    A string of names on the screen flashed again and again, and slowly stopped at…

    For 8!
