It didn’t take long for the other person to realize their presence. She held up her cell phone, and when she turned around, her eyes widened to their limits.

Fu Yanzhi frowned.

Before he had time to respond, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly came over.

“You, you, you—” She went to the door and pointed at the two while stuttering.

Fu Yanzhi looked at her coldly. “Let’s go.”

“No…” Ye Zhenzhen ignored him. She looked down and asked softly, “May I come in?”

Ji Qingying was also a little embarrassed but still managed to nod. “Of course.”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Zhenzhen rushed towards her without hesitation, full of excitement, she asked, “Are you Ji Qingying?”

Ji Qingying looked at the little girl in surprise. “Yes.”

“Wow!” Ye Zhenzhen was even more excited. “Brother, it really is her!”

Fu Yanzhi shot her a sharp look.

Ye Zhenzhen mistook it, she thought he didn’t understand and said excitedly, “She’s the one I told you about earlier, my favorite designer!”

“……”

Ye Zhenzhen was a sophomore majoring in design. She was a vivacious girl who couldn’t keep things to herself. She liked to share with her family, twittering her life and studies. Occasionally, when there was a new idol or something, she would share those with them as well.

Fu Yanzhi had heard her talk about her idol more than once.

Shortly after starting college, one day, she had announced to the whole family very seriously——- that she had a new idol.

It was a senior who graduated from school. To sum up, Ye Zhenzhen has bragged a lot of good things about her new idol for more than a year. Every now and then, whenever she was bored watching a fashion show, she would talk about Ji Qingying…

– Had my idol participated in this competition, would they dare be arrogant!.

– This new design is too ugly, not as good as my idol’s works in college.
……

As time went by, the whole family knew that she had a designer she liked but couldn’t meet, and Fu Yanzhi was no exception.

Despite the sudden appearance of the overzealous girl, Ji Qingying was quick to add two and two together. . “Was the last design you showed me hers?” She looked inquiringly at the doctor.

Fu Yanzhi simply ‘hmmed’ in reply.

With that, Ji Qingying’s lips pulled up while Ye Zhenzhen looked at the two people in front of her, still in a trance.
.
Finally, her lips opened. “Brother, do you know her?” she asked, shocked.

Ji Qingying did not speak.

Fu Yanzhi “hmmed”again.

Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes were as wide as a saucer, she shouted at Fu Yanzhi. “Brother, you are too much! You know my idol and didn’t even tell me!” She huffed and demanded.

Fu Yanzhi: “…”

Ye Zhenzhen’s high pitched voice was quite jarring to the ears. Even so, he simply twisted his eyebrows, spoke a little coldly, “Watch your words.”

Ye Zhenzhen was instantly terrified by his gaze. “I… was a bit excited.” She muttered in a low voice.

Fu Yanzhi ignored her, looked towards Ji Qingying, bowed his head and said in a whisper, “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Ji Qingying said with a smile, “Your cousin is very cute.”

Fu Yanzhi didn’t respond to her, instead he said lightly, “Well, if there is nothing, I will go back first.”

Ji QingYing also agreed. “Okay.”

Ye Zhenzhen was awkward. Looking at her idol for a long time, she wanted to say something, but it only took a gaze from Fu Yanzhi to discourage her. In the end, she angrily followed her brother into the house.

After the door closed, Ji Qingying looked at the quiet corridor for a moment, suddenly smiled, then went back to her own house.


Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Ji Qingying had just changed into a set of house clothes, tied her hair casually revealing her smooth and flawless forehead. Thinking it would be the takeout delivery, she opened the door.

When the door opened, Ye Zhenzhen leaned on the edge of the door with bright eyes and said carefully, “Senior Sister Ji, have you eaten?” She reached out and pointed. “I just bought dinner. If you haven’t, would you like to eat with us?”

Ji Qingying looked down at her but was a bit hesitant. “Is it inconvenient?”

Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly shook her head. “Of course not! The more the better, it’s just that my brother is too cold.”

“……”

When Ji Qingying came over, Fu Yanzhi was busy in the kitchen. The layout of her house and this one was similar but differed in interior design. Besides… If she didn’t know the person’s personality, Ji Qingying would’ve suspected that this would be where Fu Yanzhi occasionally rested.

Space, if anything, this place wasn’t lacking any. Apart from basic furniture, there was not much flavor. It was more suited to be an occasional stopover, than a regular home.

Through the transparent glass, she looked at the man in the kitchen.

He had already changed his clothes as well. He was wearing gray, his hair, semi-dry. He must have just taken a bath, it added a touch of laziness to his otherwise cold aura.

Eyes downcast, he set the food Ye Zhenzhen brought on the serving plate. Thick eyebrows and delicate side-profile, the man was a sight to behold.

As she stood gazing, the man himself turned to look at her. However, Ji Qingying wasn’t perturbed at being caught in the act. She didn’t feel there was anything wrong in what she did.

Three people sat on the table, and Ye Zhenzhen, the little magpie, incessantly chriped.

“Senior SisterJi, aren’t you supposed to be working in Jiang City? How come you’re here?”

Ji Qingying looked at her in surprise. “How did you know this?”

Ye Zhenzhen smiled. “I saw it on the school web forum.” Afraid that Ji Qingying would misunderstand, she quickly explained. “This is not intentional, I just wanted to know more about you.”

Ji Qingying smiled and comforted her. “It’s all right.”

Ye Zhenzhen “hummed” twice and whispered. “Are you going to move your work here?”

“No.” Ji Qingying added. “It is a temporary job.”

“What is it?” Ye Zhenzhen was particularly curious.

“Will you take part in this year’s designer competition? It seems registrations are about to start. ”

Ji Qingying was stumped for words. The question was out of the blue. She paused for a moment and said, “I might not have enough time. I will be too busy to take the job.”

“Oh.”

Ye Zhenzhen was a little disappointed, but before she could say something, she was interrupted by Fu Yanzhi.

“Eat well.”
