Chapter 504: Chapter 504
"You’re my boyfriend, so of course I’d reserve a seat for you if you want to come."
Chen Jiayan nodded slightly, "Then I will come. It’s your first movie as a director, and I don’t want to miss it."
A hint of amusement flashed in Xie Baola’s eyes.
Qiao Xi silently drank water, watching the two of them speak until she finally chuckled at this moment.
"Baola, please reserve a seat for me too when the time comes, and I’ll bring Shen Dang along."
Xie Baola lifted her eyes towards her, "I won’t forget your man."
Her gaze inadvertently shifted and noticed the silver plain band on Chen Jiayan’s middle finger.
It seemed familiar to her.
A flash of insight struck her, and she suddenly remembered seeing Xie Baola wearing the same ring on the set before.
She had forgotten about it afterward.
"Brother Jiayan..." Qiao Xi’s gaze fell on his ring, "What is it with the ring on your hand?"
Chen Jiayan spread his hand openly letting her see the ring, "Do you think it looks nice? I think it looks decent."
Self-questioning series.
There was no denying that the simple ring actually looked quite nice.
The ring you chose, if you say it looks good, then it looks good.
"Is this your wedding ring?" Qiao Xi asked tentatively, her gaze shifting back and forth between them.
When had Brother Jiayan proposed?
Chen Jiayan and Qiao Xi both looked at her.
Under the gaze of their cool eyes, Xie Baola felt a tingling on her scalp.
She glanced at Chen Jiayan before saying, "Your brother said it’s just an ordinary ring, told me to wear it for fun."
He had not proposed yet.
Though he had prepared the ring.
At that time, in bed, he had just slipped the ring onto her finger without explaining.
The ring fit her perfectly.
As if it had been custom-made for her.
Xie Baola had forgotten to take it off the day she went to the set, and Qiao Xi saw it.
Since she was busy with various work, she had not worn the ring, fearing it might get lost.
Although it wasn’t a wedding ring, it was still a gift from Chen Jiayan, and she could not afford to lose it.
"There’s also the ’wear it for fun’ kind of saying?"
What were they up to?
Chen Jiayan’s crystal clear gaze was now ambiguous, "Yes, just wearing it for fun, waiting until Baola feels ready before I officially propose to her."
But he still demonstrated a bit of assertiveness.
The "Twin Sisters" set had many handsome male actors.
Qiao Xi looked again at Xie Baola.
Confusion evident in her eyes.
Xie Baola turned her head and nudged Chen Jiayan with her hand, "Are you complaining to Xixi?"
He looked innocent, truly innocent.
He also spoke the truth, "Whenever you feel the time is right, just tell me."
Xie Baola wouldn’t say, and he wouldn’t know.
"Baola, where is your ring then?"
Qiao Xi observed that her hands were empty.
Xie Baola looked down at her own hands, "I was afraid of losing it, so I didn’t wear it; if it got lost, your brother would be upset with me."
Qiao Xi: "Ah, Brother Jiayan has a very good temper."
She had never seen Chen Jiayan angry, from childhood to now.
Even when someone upset him, he never showed anger.
Of course, Xie Baola knew.
Even if he was reluctantly upset, he wouldn’t really hold it against her.
Sometimes when she was slightly temperamental, he was tolerant of her.
Of course, over time Xie Baola had also seen the inherent assertiveness in him.
The waiter brought the food to the table.
Qiao Xi was already hungry and started eating seriously.
During the meal, Chen Jiayan asked her and Shen Dang when they were planning to have their wedding.
Since Qiao Xi had been filming before, Chen Jiayan hadn’t asked, but now that she had finished the movie, he started showing concern about it.
Qiao Xi mentioned next year.
After eating, Chen Jiayan drove Qiao Xi home.
When Qiao Xi got home, Shen Dang hadn’t returned.
She sent him a message: [When are you coming home? I’ve packed some food for you, I’ll wait for you at home.]
Looking at the sent message, Qiao Xi smiled.
In the other car, Chen Jiayan softly asked, "Going home?"
Xie Baola had planned to work a bit more in the studio after dinner, but since Chen Jiayan was accompanying her, she naturally chose to go home.
Chen Jiayan drove towards their house.
Stopped at a red light, he turned his head, his gaze calm and serene, "When you’re not busy with work, I also haven’t seen you wearing the ring."
Xie Baola was playing with her phone, looked up at him upon hearing this, "I am wearing it."
Chen Jiayan squinted slightly.
Xie Baola pulled out a necklace from under her collar; hanging on it was a ring, if not the one he gave, whose could it be?
A ripple appeared in Chen Jiayan’s eyes.
Xie Baola casually said, "Hanging it here won’t get it lost."
"You what, don’t be touched!"
Xie Baola snorted, "When you propose to me, you have to switch to a diamond ring, this one doesn’t count."
Chen Jiayan grabbed her hand, "Of course."
A wave of joy surged in his heart.
He thought Xie Baola didn’t like the ring, but to his surprise, she was carrying it with her, hanging on her necklace.
Xie Baola reminded him.
Chen Jiayan pressed on the gas, the car gliding forward. He held her hand tightly and didn’t let go, driving with one hand.
The man’s refined aura always had a youthful cleanness.
Xie Baola turned her head to look at him, suddenly leaned over, and kissed him on the face.
Chen Jiayan turned his head.
Xie Baola, with her chin slightly raised, said, "What are you looking at? Look ahead!"
Chen Jiayan turned his gaze back, his lips forming a slight smile, his eyes sparkling even brighter. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
After feeding the cats and dogs, Qiao Xi cleaned the house. Shen Dang still hadn’t returned by the time she finished everything.
She had the lyrics on her phone, and Qiao Xi sat on the living room sofa practicing her singing.
Singing the movie’s OST because she pitied Cheng Youyou and Lin Shuang, the two characters.
Maybe in the end, both of us will become unrecognizable, but don’t forget our initial beauty.
At the end of the movie, Cheng Youyou survives instead of Lin Shuang, which seemed like her fate.
Buddha says, encountering is fate.
Cheng Youyou and Lin Shuang’s relationship seemed more like a fateful intersection.
This was also Qiao Xi’s first time singing the OST for her own movie.
Zhou Muzhou’s lyrics were so beautifully written, coupled with Zhao Yunji’s composition, produced a heart-stirring song.
When Shen Dang entered, he heard Qiao Xi softly singing.
She hadn’t noticed his return.
Shen Dang’s body lazily leaned against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, one leg bent, his gaze on Qiao Xi’s face.
His eyes focused intently, the deep affection engraved in them stirred a small storm within his profound eyes.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, and Qiao Xi paused when her eyes swept over to him.
"When did you get back?"
