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 album or these chapters. After all, Mo Fei’s new album is still on the charts! Even if she starts preparing for a new album, 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 album being on the chart. The reason for all of that promotion was so that her album hits the chart.)
“Sister Mo Fei, please wait a moment!” As soon as she came out of her recording room, Mo Fei was stopped.
Glancing over her shoulder, she saw a young male star with a slick appearance. His hair has a lot of gel, keeping his hairstyle in place, and clear and straight seams, but it also lost its flowing grace.
“Ju Jie, what can I do for you?” Mo Fei certainly recognized this man, although she 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 the past two years. At present, he has developed well, and become one of the top three male stars. He has also produced a good album. He has a promising future. (TN: Elder sister here means the most respected among her colleague.)
What really gave Mo Fei a deep impression on him was the fact that at the company meeting last month, Sister Ling asked Mo Fei to take more care of Ju Jie.
However, Mo Fei is not the kind of star who is good at dealing with people. She has few connections, and is currently unable to protect herself. Therefore, she was powerless to help her juniors.
When she saw Ju Jie, Mo Fei still felt sorry and didn’t put on a cold look.
“It’s like this, Sister Mo Fei, you are my senior, and you have participated in many activities and have rich experience. Now the company has sent me to attend the Nanfang Media Award Ceremony. I would like to ask you some questions about what I should pay attention to.” A glimmer of inexplicable light flashed in Ju Jie’s eyes. He intentionally got closer, and said graciously.
Mo Fei knitted her brows slightly. She was not used to this kind of closeness, but because she still felt sorry, she couldn’t act too distant. She endured the discomfort and said to the other party: “To attend the award ceremony, you need to find a date…”
Ju Jie seemed 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 make a gesture, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. (TN: He was actually secretly checking her out.)
“Sister Mo Fei, I know you’re busy. Why don’t we talk as we walk? Let me help you with your bag!” Ju Jie behaved graciously. He stretched out his hand, then seemed a little flustered, and just happened to touch Mo Fei’s delicate hand.
Mo Fei reflexively retracted her hand, her eyebrows twisted, her face frosted, but she held back her anger and didn’t lose her temper: “No need, Ju Jie.”
Ju Jie withdrew his hand brilliantly. His face was also thick-skinned, and he said with a smile, “Sorry, Sister Mo Fei, I may have behaved too enthusiasticly, and have offended you. Please forgive me.”
The other party have already apologized like this, can Mo Fei still put on airs? She forced a smile, which made her feel uncomfortable, and said, “It doesn’t matter. What did you say just now?”
Mo Fei really had something to do, so they changed to talking while walking mode. Mo Fei wasn’t comfortable to the smell of Ju Jie’s cologne. She wrinkled her nose and walked a few steps ahead.
Mo Fei was unaware that since the very beginning, while she was focused on imparting experience to the other party, Ju Jie wasn’t listening attentively. He pretended to walk smoothly, but his right arm was raised, draped on Mo Fei’s shoulder 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’s about it. Did you remember everything?” Mo Fei said a lot of things seriously before she turned to look at Ju Jie.
Ju Jie pulled his hand back as if nothing had happened, grabbed his hair in order to conceal it, and said with a flattering smile, “I remember them, Sister Mo Fei, you are really good, thank you for your help! How about I treat you to dinner tonight?”
Mo Fei, of course, shook her head. Just thinking that she was that close to Ju Jie, she felt all kinds of discomfort and she didn’t know why but she always had a strong sense of rejection.
“No, I have something to do tonight.” Mo Fei said coldly, this was Mo Fei style of being tactful.
Ju Jie smiled brightly, and didn’t insisted. Anyway, today’s harvest is enough!
Actually, Mo Fei has nothing to do in the evening. She just wanted to send Xixi to her father – starting tomorrow, she will fly over to other places again. The company has arranged a lot of itineraries for her in the last week of the promotion period of her new album. The final sprint.
Of course, Mo Fei also misses Yang Yi’s delicious food.
Comparatively speaking, Mo Fei prefers to eat at Yang Yi’s place. It’s quiet, peaceful and have delicious foods. Who wants to go to have a meal with a slick young man wearing cologne? (TN: Aka a d*uche)
Mo Fei has such a personality and doesn’t want to be hypocritical.
…….
“If we part at the end/ some says, there will be news of a reunion / if I think of you at the end / one day, we will meet again…”
Yang Yi crossed his hands and sat in his bar with his eyes closed, quietly listening to the popular old song “The End”.
It was indeed an old song. It has the charm of a slow-paced song of the 1970s. One needs to close one’s eyes to carefully understand it, and when played in a surround hi-fi audio equipment, it can always give people a peaceful mood.
However, a string of cellphone ringtones broke this peaceful mood. Yang Yi frowned, but when he saw that it was Mo Fei’s number, he quickly paused the music and connected the call.
“Papa!” Xixi’s crisp voice came out, and Yang Yi couldn’t help but hang smile on his face.
“Um, Papa is here.”
“Xixi is coming to Papa! Is Papa happy?” The little girl laughed happily, and now that she was talking, she began to gain the initiative and asked about her father.
“Of course, I’m happy!”
“And Mama!” Xixi giggled. “Mama said she wanted to eat the food made by Papa, and eat it with Xixi and Papa!”
Yang Yi also heard Mo Fei over the line as if she had been exposed, and shouted angrily from embarrassment: “Yang Xiaoxi!” (TN: Full name of Xixi, I think)
“No problem. Papa will prepare delicious food for you!” Yang Yi said gently.
“Yes!” Xixi cheered happily.
The little girl talked with her father for a while before Mo Fei snatched the phone. She was embarrassed and pretended not to care. “Don’t listen to Xixi’s nonsense. I’ll bring her there now. You don’t need to go out. Xiaojuan happens to be free. Then, please take care of Xixi. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow.”
“Ah, as for dinner, if you still have any food in the fridge, I can make do with it. If it’s inconvenient, I’ll invite you to eat out at a hotel!” Mo Fei pretended to be casual and said, “Consider it as me returning the favor of you cooking for me! We don’t owe each other!”
Yang Yi was actually a little unhappy with Mo Fei’s attitude. If it were someone else, he would not have paid any attention, but it was Mo Fei after all. Yang Yi didn’t haggle over 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 cooking more than one person’s share. Just come over, but just don’t waste it.”
Oh, let’s compare who is more casual, and who is more indifferent!
Mo Fei gritted her teeth, and she said angrily, “That’s not enough. Xiaojuan is also here.”
Mo Xiaojuan was driving. When she heard that, she said hurriedly, “No, Sister, I have something to do later. I have a dinner party. I don’t need to go there.”
She was naturally lying, but in fact she was also reluctant! Last time in Shanghai, Mo Xiaojuan saw that the relationship between the two guys had eased. Instead of going with them and watching them show their love and be dog abuse, she might as 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 to each other. Dog – single/bachelor/bachelorette)
