Chapter 142: Wanted to Put Her in His Pocket and Bring Her Everywhere
Ke Yanbin thought that the man was trying to keep him in suspense again. He kept silent, he wanted to show that he was not always going to fall for the man’s trap.
The man’s eyes were filled with amusement. “As expected… My identity has been discovered.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Do you want to know what the new boss told me?”
Ke Yanbin was not willing to encourage his arrogance. He denied, “No.”
“Oh, I won’t tell you even if you want to.”
The man sat up straight, “Alright, I’ll give you two more seconds to admire my perfect body. I have to get back to work. By the way, the new boss doesn’t like flowers or candles. If the master wants to court her in the future, he’ll have to find a special way. Maybe a competition to see who can make the other laugh within ten minutes, now that’d be interesting.”
Ke Yanbin: “… Get lost.”
…
In the VIP room, the dishes were already being served. Jiang Yu put away her phone and sniffed the aroma of the dishes. Her eyes began to sparkle.
After taking a bite, she was even more satisfied.
This restaurant was indeed very delicious!
Well, looks like she had to come here more often.
Seeing that Jiang Yu liked the food, Jiang Xingyi’s mood became even better.
Everything was going smoothly today. Even the tiredness due to rehearsals from the past few days had dissipated quite a bit.
Even though Jiang Xingyi’s current popularity had reached a point where many people in the industry couldn’t catch up to him, there were still many restrictions on the company contract he signed a few years ago.
Although the company was worried that their cash cow would run away and usually does not force him to accept jobs that he didn’t like, in order to maintain the proper amount of exposure, the company had recently accepted a variety show on his behalf.
He couldn’t be bothered to watch these people fawn over him in front of his face, but schemed behind his back and are just putting on a disgusting act. After he had put in his request to have an additional performance in Beijing and was satisfied, the only thing he wanted to do was return to Beijing and stay by Jiang Yu’s side quietly for a while.
In particular, he wanted to gain some inner peace by watching Jiang Yu eat with satisfaction.
Jiang Xingyi suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Little Sister, if you started a broadcast show of you just eating, a lot of people would definitely watch.”
Jiang Yu swallowed the food in her mouth and asked in confusion, “Why do people like to watch others eat? Doesn’t it taste just as good if you eat it yourself?”
Jiang Xingyi replied gently, “Perhaps not everyone is like you, Little Sister. They don’t have the metabolism to eat and not gain weight.”
Jiang Yu wrinkled her nose and said, “Well, I can’t do anything about that.”
Jiang Xingyi burst out laughing and raised his hand to pat Jiang Yu’s head.
Jiang Yu blinked but didn’t shy away.
Jiang Xingyi just thought that the moment was suitable. Once he had the thought, he couldn’t help but raise his hand and pat Jiang Yu’s head.
He had originally thought that if Jiang Yu decided to move away, he would simply just have to retract his hand. However, he hadn’t expected Jiang Yu to not move at all. She allowed his fingers to caress her hair, her eyes extremely obedient.
The girl’s hair was soft, her eyes big and bright. Without the usual cold and distant look, she looked quite cute and adorable.
Jiang Xingyi suddenly understood.
So, this was how people who talked about their little sister felt.
His little sister was too cute. He wanted to put her in his pocket and bring her everywhere.
She noticed Jiang Xingyi’s hand on top of her head. It wasn’t heavy, neither was it uncomfortable.
However, sensing Jiang Xingyi’s hand combing through her hair twice and thinking that it might continue, Jiang Yu thought for a moment and reminded him out of kindness, “I didn’t wash my hair yesterday. It might be a little oily.”
Chapter 143: Third Brother Successfully Encountered a Star
Jiang Xingyi was stunned for a moment before he broke out smiling again.
He then ruffled Jiang Yu’s hair and messed it up mischievously before he slowly smoothed it back down and said, “I don’t mind.”
Jiang Yu blinked.
She thought back to when she was trying to comfort Ji Churan the other day, she couldn’t help but caress Ji Churan’s hair. Perhaps this was a subconscious instinct?
Although she didn’t need the comfort now, she has seen elders treat their juniors this way.
Seeing as he was her third brother, she didn’t seem to have any reason to reject Jiang Xingyi.
Jiang Yu waited until Jiang Xingyi had had his fill of playing with her hair and removed his hand before she continued to eat.
However, she had only taken a few bites before she felt Jiang Xingyi’s phone pointing at her. Then, she heard a click sound as he took a photo.
Jiang Yu furrowed her beautiful brows. She wasn’t too happy about someone taking a photo of her.
Jiang Xingyi, on the other hand, quickly showed her the photo. In the photo, she had just picked up a piece of chicken. Before putting it into her mouth, she fixed her eyes on the piece of chicken with great concentration.
“Little Sister, can I keep this photo?” Jiang Xingyi asked.
Worried that Jiang Yu would disagree, Jiang Xingyi added, “It’s not ugly at all, in fact, it’s very cute. Besides, I haven’t had much of an appetite recently, so I don’t eat much. One look at Little Sister’s photo and I’m sure my appetite will improve.”
Jiang Yu: “…”
She actually wanted to say, as a celebrity, could he afford to eat a lot every day?
She held back her words.
The main reason was that this photo was indeed not ugly.
Due to him being a celebrity, Jiang Xingyi knew from which angle to capture the best pictures. He didn’t take a photo of her nose or her gulping down her food.
Since the photo didn’t make her look ugly, Jiang Yu could tolerate it. She agreed, “Sure.”
Jiang Xingyi quickly created a new photo album on his phone and asked, “Then, Little Sister, can I take a photo with you?”
Jiang Yu’s forehead twitched. “Can we finish eating first?”
Why did he have to do other things while eating?
Didn’t this meal smell good?
Or did Jiang Xingyi need to divert his attention to other things while eating to suppress his desire for food so that he wouldn’t eat too much?
After Jiang Yu finished her sentence, Jiang Xingyi quickly became obedient.
He put his phone aside and swallowed the words that were still hung on his lips. He chewed slowly and ate with Jiang Yu.
Even singers needed to be photogenic. Jiang Xingyi needed to control his diet. He ate very little and only tasted a few mouthfuls of every dish. There was still a lot of food left. Fortunately, Jiang Yu’s had a good appetite and ate all of it.
Jiang Xingyi then revealed a loving smile like an old father.
His little sister sure had a good appetite. She should eat more so that her body would grow.
After Jiang Yu had finished eating, she wiped her mouth and assumed a business-like posture. “Alright, let’s take some photos.”
Jiang Xingyi immediately went up to her in joy. He turned on the front camera but was too embarrassed to stand too close to Jiang Yu. They stood apart by a few centimeters. After choosing an angle, he quickly clicked on a photo.
Jiang Xingyi did not dare to ask Jiang Yu for anything else, for example, a smile. He also didn’t dare to take too many photos because he was afraid that Jiang Yu would find him annoying.
Jiang Xingyi, who usually ignored people who wanted to take photos with him, looked at the photo he just took. The more he looked at it, the happier he was. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was. This…
This was probably the feeling of someone who had successfully encountered a star.
Chapter 144: Adopt an Alias in Advance
Jiang Xingyi set this photo as the background of his chatbox.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was afraid of making her too high-profile, he would have changed it into his WeChat and Weibo profile picture.
However, considering that many people still didn’t know about his relationship with the Jiang family, plus he didn’t want to cause trouble for Jiang Yu, he held back.
Jiang Xingyi didn’t forget that he had other matters he wanted to do today. He took out a few concert tickets and said, “Little Sister, there will be an extra day concert in Beijing on my tour schedule for this year. Here are the concert tickets for that day. There are four tickets in total.”
“You can invite your classmates or friends to come along. I really hope that you can come to my concert.”
Jiang Yu took the tickets.
Since the concert was in Beijing, it would be convenient enough to attend.
She looked at the date and Jiang Xingyi said, “It’s the weekend. You should be able to come if you have time.”
Before Jiang Yu could reply, Jiang Xingyi continued, “The song that you helped me write awhile back, I’m preparing to use it as the theme song for my new album. I’ve already arranged the lyrics and recorded the demo. Do you want to hear it? I’m planning to sing it for the first time at the Beijing concert.”
As he spoke, he opened the audio file on his phone. He even prepared the headphones for Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu listened to it carefully.
Jiang Xingyi was indeed very talented in music. The lyrics and the melody were very compatible.
Indeed, this was his song. She had only played a small part in it.
Jiang Xingyi had already done so much and had even personally come to deliver the tickets. If Jiang Yu didn’t agree, that would be a cold blow.
She replied, “Okay, I’ll go but I have to correct you. I didn’t write this song for you. You wrote it yourself. I only provided you with a little inspiration.”
“Then, this can be considered a song that I wrote with you. Little Sister, you can’t deny that.” Jiang Xingyi quickly countered, “When this song is released, I want to add your name as one of the composers. Is that okay?”
“You don’t have to add my name.”
Jiang Xingyi was not listening to Jiang Yu about this matter.
As a music composer, he had his own principles.
“This song could not have been written by me alone. As a musician, I need to lead by example and respect the original composer. Little Sister, you can’t possibly want to make me feel guilty, right?”
Jiang Xingyi’s words successfully convinced Jiang Yu.
“Alright, then sign it as…”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, “Spicy Beef.”
Jiang Xingyi: ???
Jiang Yu wanted to keep a low profile, Jiang Xingyi could understand that.
After all, with little sister’s musical talent, if her real name was announced, she was probably worried that more and more people would come looking for her. That would disrupt her life. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for her to adopt an alias for later.
But… Spicy Beef?
A question mark appeared above Jiang Xingyi’s head. Could it be that Little Sister was especially fond of this dish?
“Little Sister, this name… Are you not full?”
Jiang Xingyi couldn’t be blamed for making such a guess. He felt that Jiang Yu liked to eat everything and wasn’t picky about food. Logically speaking, such a foodie shouldn’t be interested in only one dish…
Jiang Yu: “No.”
Jiang Xingyi: “Then what is it?”
Jiang Yu pointed to a dish on the table and asked, “Isn’t this spicy beef?”
Perhaps on the menu, this dish had a more elegant name, but she wasn’t looking at the menu, so it was normal that she didn’t know what it was called.
In her eyes, this was just spicy beef, the most delicious dish of the night.
Jiang Xingyi: “…”
He looked at the dish on the table and was silent for a long time.
