Chapter 74 -Ju Jie"s Abnormal Behavior
(PS: Everyone is still wondering if the protagonist will write songs for Mo Fei and when will it happen? Don’t worry, it will definitely be written, but it will not be the first alb.u.m or these chapters. After all, Mo Fei"s new alb.u.m is still on the charts! Even if she starts preparing for a new alb.u.m, she needs to delay it … Xiaohan likes to write some different route from other novels, even if it is song writing, or the upcoming scandal, the development course of the story will absolutely be different from what you think. If I come up with other routines and various amazing events like in other novels, what’s the point? So let’s calm down and watch the development of the story! Anyway, Xiaohan won’t write tragedy. Everything is for a better future!) (TN: A word from the author. And about her alb.u.m being on the chart. The reason for all of that promotion was so that her alb.u.m hits the chart.)
“SisterMo Fei, please wait a moment!” As soon as she came out of her recordingroom, Mo Fei was stopped.
Glancingover her shoulder, she saw a young male star with a slick appearance. His hairhas a lot of gel, keeping his hairstyle in place, and clear and straight seams,but it also lost its flowing grace.
“JuJie, what can I do for you?” Mo Fei certainly recognized this man, althoughshe was not very familiar with him.
In the past,when Mo Fei was the Elder Sister, Ju Jie was a trainee in the company, someone unknown.However, Ju Jie was the new star that the company has been developing in thepast two years. At present, he has developed well, and become one of the topthree male stars. He has also produced a good alb.u.m. He has a promising future.(TN: Elder sister here means the most respected among her colleague.)
What reallygave Mo Fei a deep impression on him was the fact that at the company meetinglast month, Sister Ling asked Mo Fei to take more care of Ju Jie.
However, MoFei is not the kind of star who is good at dealing with people. She has fewconnections, and is currently unable to protect herself. Therefore, she was powerlessto help her juniors.
When she sawJu Jie, Mo Fei still felt sorry and didn"t put on a cold look.
“It"slike this, Sister Mo Fei, you are my senior, and you have partic.i.p.ated in manyactivities and have rich experience. Now the company has sent me to attend the NanfangMedia Award Ceremony. I would like to ask you some questions about what I shouldpay attention to.” A glimmer of inexplicable light flashed in Ju Jie’seyes. He intentionally got closer, and said graciously.
Mo Fei knittedher brows slightly. She was not used to this kind of closeness, but because shestill felt sorry, she couldn"t act too distant. She endured the discomfort andsaid to the other party: “To attend the award ceremony, you need to find adate…”
Ju Jieseemed to be listening obediently, but in fact, out of the corner of his eye,he was focused on the other party. And when he saw her extend her hand to makea gesture, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. (TN: He was actually secretlychecking her out.)
“SisterMo Fei, I know you’re busy. Why don’t we talk as we walk? Let me help you withyour bag!” Ju Jie behaved graciously. He stretched out his hand, then seemeda little fl.u.s.tered, and just happened to touch Mo Fei’s delicate hand.
Mo Feireflexively retracted her hand, her eyebrows twisted, her face frosted, but sheheld back her anger and didn"t lose her temper: “No need, Ju Jie.”
Ju Jiewithdrew his hand brilliantly. His face was also thick-skinned, and he saidwith a smile, “Sorry, Sister Mo Fei, I may have behaved too enthusiasticly,and have offended you. Please forgive me.”
The otherparty have already apologized like this, can Mo Fei still put on airs? She forceda smile, which made her feel uncomfortable, and said, “It doesn’t matter. Whatdid you say just now?"
Mo Feireally had something to do, so they changed to talking while walking mode. MoFei wasn"t comfortable to the smell of Ju Jie"s cologne. She wrinkled her noseand walked a few steps ahead.
Mo Fei wasunaware that since the very beginning, while she was focused on impartingexperience to the other party, Ju Jie wasn"t listening attentively. Hepretended to walk smoothly, but his right arm was raised, draped on Mo Fei’sshoulder behind her back. (TN: His hand was actually not touching her shoulder(like hovering on her shoulder); he was making it looked like, to other people,that they have a close relation.)
“…That’sabout it. Did you remember everything?” Mo Fei said a lot of thingsseriously before she turned to look at Ju Jie.
Ju Jiepulled his hand back as if nothing had happened, grabbed his hair in order toconceal it, and said with a flattering smile, “I remember them, Sister MoFei, you are really good, thank you for your help! How about I treat you todinner tonight?”
Mo Fei, ofcourse, shook her head. Just thinking that she was that close to Ju Jie, shefelt all kinds of discomfort and she didn’t know why but she always had astrong sense of rejection.
“No, Ihave something to do tonight.” Mo Fei said coldly, this was Mo Fei styleof being tactful.
Ju Jiesmiled brightly, and didn"t insisted. Anyway, today’s harvest is enough!
Actually, MoFei has nothing to do in the evening. She just wanted to send Xixi to herfather - starting tomorrow, she will fly over to other places again. Thecompany has arranged a lot of itineraries for her in the last week of thepromotion period of her new alb.u.m. The final sprint.
Of course,Mo Fei also misses Yang Yi’s delicious food.
Comparativelyspeaking, Mo Fei prefers to eat at Yang Yi’s place. It"s quiet, peaceful and havedelicious foods. Who wants to go to have a meal with a slick young man wearingcologne? (TN: Aka a d*uche)
Mo Fei has sucha personality and doesn’t want to be hypocritical.
…….
“If wepart at the end/ some says, there will be news of a reunion / if I think of youat the end / one day, we will meet again…”
Yang Yi crossedhis hands and sat in his bar with his eyes closed, quietly listening to thepopular old song “The End”.
It was indeedan old song. It has the charm of a slow-paced song of the 1970s. One needs toclose one"s eyes to carefully understand it, and when played in a surroundhi-fi audio equipment, it can always give people a peaceful mood.
However, astring of cellphone ringtones broke this peaceful mood. Yang Yi frowned, butwhen he saw that it was Mo Fei"s number, he quickly paused the music and connectedthe call.
“Papa!”Xixi"s crisp voice came out, and Yang Yi couldn"t help but hang smile on hisface.
“Um, Papais here.”
“Xixiis coming to Papa! Is Papa happy?” The little girl laughed happily, andnow that she was talking, she began to gain the initiative and asked about herfather.
“Ofcourse, I’m happy!”
“And Mama!”Xixi giggled. “Mama said she wanted to eat the food made by Papa, and eat.i.t with Xixi and Papa!”
Yang Yi alsoheard Mo Fei over the line as if she had been exposed, and shouted angrily fromembarra.s.sment: “Yang Xiaoxi!” (TN: Full name of Xixi, I think)
“Noproblem. Papa will prepare delicious food for you!” Yang Yi said gently.
“Yes!”Xixi cheered happily.
The littlegirl talked with her father for a while before Mo Fei s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone. Shewas embarra.s.sed and pretended not to care. “Don’t listen to Xixi"snonsense. I’ll bring her there now. You don’t need to go out. Xiaojuan happens...o...b.. free. Then, please take care of Xixi. I have to go on a business triptomorrow.”
“Ah, asfor dinner, if you still have any food in the fridge, I can make do with it. Ifit’s inconvenient, I’ll invite you to eat out at a hotel!” Mo Feipretended to be casual and said, “Consider it as me returning the favor ofyou cooking for me! We don’t owe each other!”
Yang Yi wasactually a little unhappy with Mo Fei’s att.i.tude. If it were someone else, he wouldnot have paid any attention, but it was Mo Fei after all. Yang Yi didn’t haggleover it. Yang Yi also pretended to say casually, “What "eat out at a hotel"?Can those chefs cook the delicious food that I cook? Anyway, I’m used to cookingmore than one person"s share. Just come over, but just don’t waste it.”
Oh, let"s comparewho is more casual, and who is more indifferent!
Mo Fei grittedher teeth, and she said angrily, “That’s not enough. Xiaojuan is alsohere.”
Mo Xiaojuanwas driving. When she heard that, she said hurriedly, “No, Sister, I havesomething to do later. I have a dinner party. I don"t need to go there.”
She wasnaturally lying, but in fact she was also reluctant! Last time in Shanghai, MoXiaojuan saw that the relationship between the two guys had eased. Instead ofgoing with them and watching them show their love and be dog abuse, she mightas well go for a ride and maybe meet a handsome guy on the campus. (TN: Dog abuse- a single who witness the whole process of a couple showing their affection toeach other. Dog - single/bachelor/bachelorette)
