Chapter 66 The Gift
Chapter 66 The Gift
"Behold the clanging of iron hooves, traversing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
"I stand at the forefront of the storm, holding fast to the revolving sun and moon."
"..."
Inside the KTV, Wang Yanlin was passionately speaking into the microphone.
Tian Xiwei turned to look at Xu Jinyan beside her, and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay after drinking so much?"
Xu Jinyan shook her head: "Do I look like something's wrong?"
Then he pointed to the several men next to him who were already quite drunk.
Lu Han leaned back in his seat, trying to stand up. His waist and hips were already straightened, but his head hadn't moved yet. His whole body was in a "Train to Busan" backward leaning posture.
Arthur sat up straight, but then he would half-open his eyes and grin foolishly, and then become listless, just like a computer restarting.
As for Wang Yanlin, a Northeasterner who was in slightly better condition, he practiced the Lion's Roar Kung Fu and Tai Chi on stage at the same time, thus assembling the Condor Heroes couple all by himself.
Tian Xiwei glanced at it and quickly covered her mouth, afraid of laughing out loud.
Guan Xiaotong glared at Xu Jinyan: "Do you drink like that?" Then she quickly went to help Lu Han.
"How...how dare you talk to my Brother Xu like that?" Lu Han glared at her, then waved his hand: "I don't need you to help me, I'm not drunk. Go straighten the road for me."
"Pfft, hahahaha"
The few who were still sober laughed so hard they were doubled over.
Guan Xiaotong was both annoyed and amused, but she didn't give up and helped him out.
Li Yitong then came over from the side, looking on with admiration: "I've really never seen anyone who can drink as much as you."
Xu Jinyan drank so much water that he would have vomited, let alone alcohol, but apart from going to the toilet, he was perfectly fine.
Xu Jinyan glanced at her and Xiaotian's faces. Judging from their interactions today, the "Tongxinweimin" relationship was beginning to take shape.
Tian Xiwei nodded, then said worriedly, "Even if you can drink a lot, you should drink less in the future. Drinking like this is really bad for your health."
"Yes, yes," Li Yitong said with the same worry, mimicking, "Even if you can drink a lot, you should drink less in the future. Drinking like this is really bad for your health."
"Li! Yi! Tong!"
Xiao Tian was about to chase after her when he covered her mouth.
Li Yitong ran out laughing and giggling.
Only Xu Jinyan and Xiao Tian, whose face was flushed, remained in the same spot.
Xiao Tian said shyly, "You...you shouldn't listen to her nonsense, she always likes to joke."
Xu Jinyan looked at Xiaotian's profile without saying anything, but took out a beautifully packaged small gift box from her spatial storage and handed it over.
Tian Xiwei stared blankly at the thing shoved into her hand, then turned to look at him: "You...you knew?"
"Today is Fellow Daoist Nai Tian's birthday! I hope you will accept this small gift!"
Tian Xiwei was surprised to receive a gift from him; apart from Li Yitong, no one in the crew knew it was her birthday.
She had thought that having a meal with Xu Jinyan today would be enough to celebrate her birthday.
Unexpectedly, at the dinner table, he touched his hand and even shielded him from Arthur.
Even more surprisingly, he actually knew it was his birthday today.
Looking at the gift box in her hand, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and grabbed Xu Jinyan's hand, holding it tightly.
She looked up at Xu Jinyan earnestly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, may I choose a different gift?"
Before he could even speak, she pressed her face against his and silenced him with her lips.
Instantly separate!
Tian Xiwei sat back down and blinked. Her heart was pounding so hard that she was momentarily stunned.
How could I have done such a thing?
What should I do? What should I do?
What will his reaction be?
Wouldn't that be letting Sister Nan down?
Xu Jinyan smacked his lips. He hadn't even tasted what it was like yet, so how could they have broken up?
Seeing Xiaotian lost in thought, he gently lifted her head and, with her bewildered expression, lowered his head and kissed her.
Tian Xiwei snapped out of her shock and looked at Xu Jinyan, who was so close to her. Her eyes flashed with genuine joy. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and then closed her eyes.
……
……
"You kissed? You kissed?"
Upon returning to the hotel where the film crew was staying, Li Yitong immediately went to Tian Xiwei's room and excitedly asked her what had happened between them after she left.
Upon receiving the answer, she jumped up, even more excited than when she kissed herself.
Tian Xiwei sat on the bed, her face still flushed.
Looking back on today's events, I originally just wanted to have a meal with him, but somehow it escalated to this point.
Thinking of the two of them embracing and that deep kiss, a happy yet shy smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Li Yitong, who was standing next to her, felt a pang of jealousy for some reason.
Actually, it was she who volunteered to be the wingman.
But she suddenly felt like she had lost something, and in a moment of impulse, she pushed Xiaotian down onto the bed and kissed him hard.
Xiaotian didn't react for a moment, and looked at her in confusion after sitting up.
Li Yitong was too embarrassed to voice her true thoughts, so she teased, "Did he feel something when he kissed you, or did I feel something when I kissed you just now?"
Xiao Tian felt that Sister Yi Tong was probably sick.
Li Yitong knew the answer just by looking into her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "How did things progress so quickly? Tell me honestly and thoroughly!"
So, Xiaotian brought up the matter of the birthday present, admitting that she couldn't help herself...
"What gift did you give?"
"I haven't seen it yet."
"Open it quickly, open it quickly."
Tian Xiwei opened the beautifully packaged gift box and found that it contained... a musical score.
Li Yitong: "Did he write a song for you?"
Tian Xiwei looked at the song title and said, "I think so."
Li Yitong said sourly, "He's really generous. Looks like it'll be another number one single. He wouldn't be trying to make you a queen of pop, would he?"
Queen?
Upon hearing this word, Tian Xiwei's face suddenly darkened. The music industry's undisputed next queen of pop is Nanfeng.
Li Yitong keenly sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
Tian Xiwei pursed her lips, unwilling to speak.
"Oh dear, tell me quickly, what happened?"
Under Li Yitong's persistent questioning, she finally spoke up: "...Xu Jinyan seems to already have someone he likes."
"What?! What a jerk!!!"
……
……
"I think Hua Chenyu is planning to stick with you to the end. Have you listened to Zhang Bichen's 'Child' which just came out? It's really good. She might win the championship."
Upon hearing Nanfeng's voice on the phone, Xu Jinyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hua Chenyu gave Zhang Bichen a "Child" gift, which was incredibly funny!
There really is a predetermined fate in the universe!
Nanfeng asked in confusion, "Do you really have to be this happy?"
After Xu Jinyan finished laughing, he said, "Sister Nan, you don't understand. I just remembered something happy."
"So what are your plans? I reckon 'Always Quiet' will only be number one for another week at most."
Currently, this song's potential lies in winning the weekly championship for three weeks.
"Today is Xiaotian's birthday, and I gave her a song as a birthday present."
"You want her to compete against Zhang Bichen?"
"No, no, no, that was my original plan, but I suddenly felt that people should value harmony above all else... Hahahaha."
Since the song "Child" has the potential to win the championship, let it win.
This will definitely be a very memorable championship.
Even if it's a gift from his uncle, it's still a gift.
Nanfeng ignored his strange train of thought: "Alright, since you have a plan, I'll go call Xiaotian."
"...Um, why did you call her?"
"Didn't you say it's her birthday today? It's already past 11 p.m., it'll be too late if we go any later."
"That makes sense."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jinyan was lost in thought for a long time.
Why couldn't I control myself today and just kissed him?
However, Oda's lips really do smell sweet and fragrant!
Just then, my phone received a WeChat message from Li Yitong: "Scumbag!"
[Negative emotions from Li Yitong: +299]
It's amazing!
