"My autographed photo?"
"I'm sorry/kneeling down"
The other party sent a cold, mocking emoji.
Chu Yi immediately replied with an emoji of a little person kowtowing with two lines of wide noodles hanging on his face.
My husband is jealous.
"...?"
"From this day forward, married women are completely disqualified from being fans of celebrities (tvt)."
Hahahahahahahaha
Ji Mubai replied with a series of loud laughs, not yet satisfied, and then sent her a voice message full of laughter.
"Teacher, you and your husband have such a good relationship."
Chuyi: "???"
He then added, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's all because of my irresistible charm."
"..."
"Okay, that's all for now, I have to go film."
"By the way, please apologize to your husband for me, haha."
"..."
Chu Yi felt that she stopped being a fan from that moment on.
Ji Mubai is just too narcissistic.
Qiao Anchen is a hundred times more handsome than him!!! No! A thousand times more handsome!!!
A man is attractive when he's handsome without realizing it. A narcissistic brat like him can only fool young girls. This old auntie has been completely disillusioned.
Thinking about how she racked her brains and exhausted herself last night, Chu Yi felt a wave of exhaustion. So, what was she enduring all of this for?
When Qiao Anchen returned home in the evening, he found the house bustling with activity. There was a small induction cooker on the dining table, with a homemade hot pot on it, piled high with beef, enoki mushrooms, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, and more, all bubbling away.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they were still carrying things out.
"Why is it so lavish today?" He changed his shoes and walked over. Chu Yi set out the bowls and chopsticks, looking at him with a smug expression.
"You work so hard every day, of course you need to eat better. Look, you've lost weight." Chu Yi touched his cheek affectionately, her eyes full of heartache, as if he really had lost weight.
Qiao Anchen pursed his lips and expressionlessly brushed her hand away.
"Speak properly."
He walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to reach into the boiling food in the pot. Chu Yi followed him and sat down.
"Where did I not speak properly? I couldn't be better. Here, have a piece of beef."
Chu Yi picked up a piece of fatty beef and put it in his bowl, her face showing an expectant smile. Qiao Anchen glanced at her, didn't say anything, but just picked up the piece of beef and ate it.
"Is it good?" she asked, resting her chin on her hand. Qiao Anchen nodded.
"good."
"Then eat more." She put several more pieces on his plate, but Qiao Anchen stopped Chu Yi from doing so.
"Okay, you can eat it yourself. I'll get some for myself."
"Okay." She withdrew her hand with a hint of regret, responding reluctantly.
Even so, Qiao Anchen was still stuffed with a lot of food by her, and by the end, he felt that his stomach couldn't hold any more.
Qiao Anchen was tidying up the table to wash the dishes to digest his food when Chu Yi snatched them away.
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
He watched her retreating figure, frowned in distress, glanced at the ground one last time, went to the bathroom to get a mop to clean up and exercise to aid digestion.
"Let me do it, let me do it—" She had barely wiped for a couple of seconds when Chu Yi saw her again. She quickly snatched the mop from his hand and smiled at him eagerly.
"You must be tired after a long day at work. Go take a shower and rest."
"..." Qiao Anchen stared at her for two seconds without saying anything, then let go of her hand and walked into the bedroom. He had just grabbed his pajamas and was about to take a shower when he saw Chu Yi standing at the door, smiling as enthusiastically as a waitress.
"Would you like to take a bath? I bought some essential oils last time, so I can give you a massage while I'm at it. Do you want the bathwater to be hot or at room temperature? I'll go fill the tub for you."
“…” An Chen frowned, somewhat troubled, and couldn’t help but speak up.
"Chu Yi, if you keep doing this—"
"Hmm?" Chu Yi opened her eyes wide and looked at him expectantly.
"I'm going to take you to the hospital."
"???"
"Check if there's something wrong with your brain."
"..."
Author's Note: Qiao Anchen: Has my wife gone crazy??
Chuyi:......
64. Chapter 64
OK
Chu Yi turned around expressionlessly, completely abandoning his original idea.
Fine, fine, she won't serve you anymore.
When Qiao Anchen came out of the shower, Chu Yi was lying on the bed playing on her phone. Hearing the noise, she raised her eyes and glanced at him lazily, then looked away calmly and continued playing.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he was still used to Chu Yi being like this.
"Are you done washing?" she asked casually, and Qiao Anchen nodded.
"Okay, go wash up."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi turned off her phone, got up to go to the bathroom, but then remembered something and turned back to him, saying, "Oh right, the clothes on the balcony haven't been brought in yet. Go and collect them, fold them, and put them in the closet."
"I cooked, washed the dishes, and mopped the floor today. Is it okay if you do these chores?"
Qiao Anchen, who had been holding a book and lifting the covers, ready to enjoy his leisurely evening: "..."
"It's alright." After a moment, he released his grip, put down the book, and replied sheepishly.
A few days later, the results of Chu Yi's Weibo lottery came out. After contacting the fans and sending them her addresses, Chu Yi started packing and sending packages at home.
Xiao Gao's copy was also sent to her. When Chu Yi asked her for her address, the person on the other end of the line seemed to want to rush over the screen and kiss her wildly.
These are Xiao Gao's exact words.
"Waaaaah, I'm so incredibly lucky to have met a friend like you!"
"This is the first time I, a good-for-nothing, have received such treatment."
I really want to jump over the screen and kiss you like crazy!!!
Because Chu Yi helped her get a signed autograph, with Ji Mubai writing the inscription himself.
May Xiao Gao become more and more beautiful, may her inspiration flow like a spring, and may her books sell like hotcakes.
—Ji Mubai
A simplified version of a small heart was also drawn at the back.
Chu Yi took a picture of the autographed photo and sent it to Xiao Gao. She was so excited that she shouted on the other end of the line. But when Chu Yi asked her if she wanted to come and visit the set in person, the person who was just so excited instantly wilted.
"Haha... I think I'll pass then. I feel a little nervous and embarrassed."
"...You're still embarrassed?" Chu Yi asked, and Xiao Gao retorted.
"What's wrong with me? I'm easily embarrassed. Don't ignore that just because I'm good-looking."
"...Alright then."
Chu Yi mailed out all the packages and thought of Cheng Li. Although Cheng Li wasn't a fan of celebrities, Chu Yi still got her an autographed photo, since she liked handsome boys...
It had been a while since the two had last met, and Cheng Li was currently completely absorbed in that university professor, having no time for her at all.
That's good; it seems she's completely moved on from that scumbag.
The two arranged to meet at a coffee shop, not their usual place, but an unfamiliar one. Chu Yi looked it up and found it was quite far from their home.
She asked, puzzled, "Why choose that location? Is the coffee really that good?"
"No," Cheng Li replied crisply.
"Because Ji Fanning's school is right next door, I have to wait for him to finish class."
"..."
Ji Fanning is that university professor. Cheng Li has been pestering him for over a month, using all sorts of tricks, but he hasn't budged at all. Just like his name suggests, he's the kind of untouchable, high-and-mighty flower.
Chu Yi shrugged, suddenly having the illusion that Cheng Li had gone to great lengths to defile someone else.
This coffee shop has a nice ambiance. Perhaps because most of its customers are students, it offers great value for money. The decor is a simple, fresh, and modern style, with light green linen sofas and wooden tables that look very comfortable.
I had breakfast late and hadn't eaten lunch when I came, so I ordered two cakes and a cappuccino. Just as I was about to start eating, the glass door in front of me was pushed open, and a stunningly beautiful woman walked in.
Cheng Li hasn't changed. If there's anything different, it's probably that her makeup is brighter and more delicate, and her dress is a few inches shorter.
Those legs, that chest, that waist.
Even Chu Yi couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw it.
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Li sat down gracefully opposite her, reached out and flicked her long curly hair, her eyes narrowed, and her casual gaze seemed to exude a thousand charms.
Chu Yi quickly lowered her head and scooped up a mouthful of tiramisu in front of her, her voice muffled.
"You've become a little more of a vixen."
"If you want to compliment my beauty, just say so." Cheng Li knew exactly what she meant and then looked smug.
