Chapter 661 This is my room, are you still half asleep?
The two of them were having a great time singing in the karaoke room, one song after another.
As darkness fell, the sky was tinged with the colors of the sunset.
It wasn't until Zhao Jinmai's voice became hoarse from singing, her speech was nasal, and her throat felt dry and sore that the two of them packed up and left the KTV.
Zhao Jinmai rubbed her sore throat.
I bought a box of throat lozenges at the pharmacy, coughed twice, and said, "Sister Meng, you're really in good health. My voice is so hoarse I can barely speak, but you sang more than me and you're perfectly fine."
As she spoke, she unwrapped the packaging, took out one, and put it in her mouth.
A refreshing scent spread.
It slightly relieves the dryness in the throat.
Hopefully it works. I need to get a good night's rest so it doesn't affect tomorrow's recording of "Mars Intelligence Agency," otherwise it will be troublesome.
"I seem to have always had a very good constitution since I was a child."
Meng Ziyi smiled and raised her chin: "Maybe it's because I'm a heavenly singer. A good voice is something I'm born with, and I won't get hoarse no matter how much I sing."
Upon hearing the words "heavenly-voiced songstress," Zhao Jinmai's lips twitched involuntarily.
She's completely off-key, yet she still has the nerve to call herself a heavenly songstress.
The main reason was that she wasn't very familiar with Meng Ziyi, so it wasn't convenient for her to directly confront her. If it were Yang Chaoyue, Tian Xiwei, or Hao Chun, and they sang like that, tormenting her for several hours, she would have already started cursing.
This debt should be placed on Jiang Yang's shoulders.
It's all Jiang Yang's fault for sleeping in her room until now without stopping her.
It's really tough being unable to confront Meng Ziyi.
Zhao Jinmai vented her anger on Jiang Yang: "It's all Jiang's fault! He's so weak, and he's still sleeping in his hotel room. If he had come and sang with us, I wouldn't have had to sing so much, and my voice wouldn't be so hoarse!"
Meng Ziyi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it's all Jiang Yang's fault. Who told him to sleep so much and miss out on such a fun thing?"
The two separated.
Meng Ziyi was going to the airport to pick up Tian Xiwei.
Zhao Jinmai then went back to the hotel to rest.
I went straight to the front desk and said to the clerk with a smile, "Excuse me, could you please get me the spare room key? My friend is sleeping in the room, and I didn't bring the key with me."
After verifying her identity information, the waiter handed her a spare room key.
Zhao Jinmai gently pushed open the door after swiping the swipe.
Try to walk as quietly as possible.
The air conditioner is blowing a cool breeze, and the temperature is just right.
Jiang Yang was still fast asleep in bed.
Zhao Jinmai remembered that before she and Sister Meng went out, Jiang Yang was lying obediently flat on his back, covered with a quilt.
He was now curled up on his side.
With his back to the door, half of his face and head were buried in the pillow, with only a small part of his neck showing.
He had kicked the blanket up to his waist, and one arm was hanging out of the blanket, draped over the edge of the bed. His breathing was still deep and even, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.
I don't know what I did last night, I'm so tired, I didn't even wake up when I turned over and kicked off the covers.
Zhao Jinmai tiptoed to the bedside, picked up the blanket that had been kicked away, and covered Jiang Yang with it.
I made a point of tucking the blanket in to cover his exposed arms and waist to prevent him from catching a cold.
After doing all this, she took off her shoes and quietly climbed onto the bed on the other side.
I took out my phone, opened Jiang Yang's Weibo, and found the video of the song "The Wind Rises".
The melody began to play softly, and Jiang Yang's voice came through the phone's speaker.
It sounds very powerful.
"The difference between people is so great. Meng Jie's singing is torture to listen to, but Hao Chun's singing is a real treat."
"Chaoyue sang quite well, at least most of the time he was in tune."
"Xiwei doesn't know, I've never heard Xiwei sing, but if Xiwei dares to say she's a songstress, then she's on the same level as Sister Meng."
The best singer has to be Jiang Yang.
Listening to Jiang Yang's "The Wind Rises," Zhao Jinmai looked at the lines of lyrics.
Previously, at karaoke, I only listened to the tunes.
It was only now that I realized that the lyrics of Jiang Yang's song were quite evocative.
She debuted much earlier than Jiang Yang.
Before meeting Jiang Yang, she had acted in several TV series and was considered a well-known child star in the industry.
My life was completely controlled by my mother.
Her mother was always worried that her studies would be affected and that she would be mistreated in the entertainment industry. She forbade her to associate with people in the industry casually, and forbade her to do what she liked. She even taught her how to speak and how to act.
She had to maintain a well-behaved image both in front of the camera and in private, and couldn't cross the line in the slightest.
I know my mother is doing this for my own good, and I feel sorry for her.
Being controlled like this for a long time made me feel increasingly depressed and I couldn't take it anymore.
She finally had a big fight with her mother and secretly ran away from home.
When she ran into Jiang Yang and Chao Yue, they drove to Hangzhou. She lied to Jiang Yang, saying that she had gotten her mother's permission to come out. Jiang Yang didn't suspect anything and took her with him.
I went to Zhang Ruonan's school.
It was there that she watched Yang Chaoyue recruit Zhang Ruonan and sign her contract.
At that time, Zhang Ruonan was still called Zhang Ruonan.
Although she had a lot of fun, she felt uneasy, constantly wondering if her mother would worry about her and look for her everywhere.
In the end, it was Jiang Yang who saw through her thoughts.
After understanding the situation, I talked to her and helped mediate the conflict between her and her mother.
Her mother finally stopped caring so much about her, and she no longer needed to pretend all the time. As long as she wasn't in front of the camera, she could speak Northeastern dialect freely and be her most authentic self.
It was from then on that she met Tian Xiwei and Hao Chun, played and joked with them, and gradually became more cheerful.
Now that my high school years are over, I'm on summer vacation and about to enter high school.
I don't know what I will become in the future, or how far my acting career will go.
But ever since she met Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue, she has felt that the future is full of hope.
The days spent with them were fulfilling and fun; we all worked hard together to move forward towards a better future.
Jiang Yang's development has exceeded her expectations. He has not only established himself in the entertainment industry and created a hit variety show, but he has also become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, making him a unique figure in the industry.
When her mother found out, she praised Jiang Yang highly and kept telling her to spend more time with him and learn from him.
She specifically instructed her to thank Jiang Yang properly for taking her on the variety show "Mars Intelligence Agency".
Zhao Jinmai knew very well how popular this variety show was; guests who wanted to be on it were scrambling to get a chance, and even though she was a well-known child star in the industry, she would never have had this opportunity if it weren't for Jiang Yang.
But she still felt that she didn't need to thank Jiang Yang.
My relationship with Jiang Yang has long surpassed that of ordinary friends, so there's no need to be so polite.
I made up my mind to myself.
From now on, no matter what Jiang Yang needs her help with, she will be the first to step forward and do everything in her power to help him.
Despite her small size, she possesses immense energy.
The song is still playing.
Zhao Jinmai had a few lyrics that I couldn't understand.
"The evening breeze stirs the white hair at your temples, smoothing the scars left by memories."
"When I first came to know this world, I lingered over everything, and the horizon seemed to be right in front of me."
I don't understand what it means. Maybe it's because I'm too young and haven't experienced enough to understand the feelings and regrets hidden in the lyrics.
When you grow up and experience more, you should be able to understand the meaning of these lyrics.
So I really want to grow up quickly, grow taller quickly, preferably taller than Jiang Yang, and then go to the gym to become a supermodel, so I can beat Jiang Yang up like crazy.
Only she can bully him.
If anyone bullies Jiang Yang, she'll be the first to rush in, beat them up for him, and protect him.
As she pondered, drowsiness gradually crept in, and Zhao Jinmai yawned.
They shrank back towards Jiangyang.
The phone was still playing "The Wind Rises." Jiang Yang was woken up by the phone's noise, frowned, and muttered in a grumpy tone, "It's so noisy, turn the music off."
Zhao Jinmai leaned close to his ear: "Xiao Jiang, this is the song you sang yourself, have you forgotten?"
"It sounds awful, turn it off, turn it off, go to sleep." Jiang Yang waved his hand impatiently with his eyes closed, his voice still nasal, clearly not fully awake.
Zhao Jinmai turned off her phone and snuggled closer to Jiang Yang, saying, "Let's sleep together for a bit."
"Get lost, get lost, don't bother me." Jiang Yang squinted, still impatient, his eyes still closed.
Zhao Jinmai cleared her throat.
The voice was still hoarse.
So he used a breathy voice, mimicking Yang Chaoyue's tone: "Brother Yang, it's me, Chaoyue."
Jiang Yang didn't react the first time.
They probably didn't hear it.
Zhao Jinmai said again, "Yang-ge, it's me, Chaoyue. Can you hold me while I sleep?"
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Yang closed his eyes, stretched out his arm, and pulled Zhao Jinmai into his arms.
He nuzzled his head against her.
With her head tilted to the side, she fell asleep again in a second, her breathing still steady and even.
Zhao Jinmai nestled in Jiang Yang's arms, a secret smile playing on her lips.
When Xiao Jiang is sleepy, she really loses her mind, acting like an idiot. She can't even tell her voice from Chao Yue's.
It's so much fun.
When it was completely dark, the streetlights outside the window shone faintly through the gaps in the curtains.
Jiang Yang slowly woke up.
My head is still a little dizzy.
It's inherently difficult to make up for lost sleep by staying up late.
What's more, it was after being tormented by Meng Ziyi all night, which had drained his energy.
As soon as I moved my arm, I felt a soft little body in my arms.
Warm breath fell on his chest, with the minty taste of throat lozenges.
He opened his eyes, looked down, and was so frightened that he shuddered and immediately reached out to push the person away.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they found that Zhao Jinmai's clothes were intact.
He absolutely did nothing.
Zhao Jinmai was curled up in his arms, her little face buried in his chest.
Stray hairs brushed against his clothes.
Her long eyelashes drooped slightly as she slept soundly.
She had one arm tightly wrapped around his waist, and her legs were draped over his, a soft, yielding mass.
"MaiMai? What are you doing in my room?" Jiang Yang's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up. He nudged her while saying urgently, "Who gave you permission to get on my bed? Get up right now!"
Zhao Jinmai was woken up groggily by his push.
Her morning grumpiness flared up instantly, and she opened her mouth in a thick Northeastern accent, glaring at Jiang Yang with annoyance: "What are you yelling about? This is my room! Are you still half asleep? Don't try to blame me!"
"I……"
Jiang Yang was speechless for a moment, and then he was stunned.
Looking at my surroundings, my mind was a complete mess.
Wanting to argue further, Zhao Jinmai frowned, waved her hand impatiently, and became even more grumpy: "Don't bother me, I'm so sleepy, go back to your own room and don't stay here!"
After saying that, she turned over, facing away from Jiang Yang, pulled the blanket over her head, and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Yang sat by the bed for a while, thinking for a bit.
One thing is certain.
He and Mai Mai are absolutely innocent.
He quietly got up, tucked Zhao Jinmai in, and slipped out of the room. He returned to his own room, sat on the bed, rubbed his throbbing temples, and thought about it carefully for a long time before he slowly figured it out.
He probably fell asleep in Zhao Jinmai's room, and Zhao Jinmai snuggled into his arms. He was too sleepy to notice and just held her as he fell asleep.
strangeness.
I vaguely remember hugging Chaoyue.
When a person has just woken up, their mind is really not clear. Chaoyue is still in Yancheng at this moment.
Jiang Yang picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and opened his chat with Meng Ziyi. He then discovered that Meng Ziyi had already sent him several messages, saying that she had successfully picked up Tian Xiwei and that the two had booked another room near the hotel, so he shouldn't worry about her.
Jiang Yang typed back: [“I'll reiterate the important points with Xiwei again.”]
[“Xiwei knows. I told her and him that you haven’t woken up yet, and asked her not to disturb you. I’m telling you, Xiwei showed me a video of her delivering takeout with Zhou Ye in Guangdong Province. Zhou Ye is really as dark as charcoal now.”] Meng Ziyi replied.
"Why is she still delivering food? It gives me a headache just thinking about it."
"You're awake? I'll come to your room in a bit."
Upon seeing Meng Ziyi's message, Jiang Yang immediately typed: ["No, don't bother me anymore, Sister Meng, I haven't had enough rest yet."]
Night was falling.
At 10 p.m., Jiang Yang was leaning against the headboard when his phone suddenly vibrated, and the words "Yang Chaozhong" appeared on the screen.
It's a video call.
Jiang Yang casually pressed the hang-up button.
It's not that I don't want to accept it.
The main problem is the inconvenience; Mencius's intentions are coming again, and there's no way to prevent it.
But just two seconds after I hung up, my phone vibrated again.
Press the hang-up button again.
Before Jiang Yang could recover, his phone vibrated for the third time; it was still Yang Chaoyue.
The video call was connected by swiping the screen: "What are you doing, Chaoyue?"
"What are you doing? You blocked my video twice."
"I'm sleepy."
Yang Chaoyue's clear voice came from the phone: "MaiMai told me you've been sleeping all day, and you still haven't had enough? I've discovered you can really sleep, even more than a pig!"
Jiang Yang rubbed his temples and said dismissively, "I'm going to sleep a little longer. I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
"No, no, no, I'll sleep later!" Yang Chaoyue quickly said, his tone softening and becoming somewhat coquettish, "Brother Yang, chat with me for a while, I miss you."
Jiang Yang was about to press the hang-up button.
Hearing the words "I miss you" softened my heart.
Where it needs to be firm, it remains firm.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Chaoyue said, "Brother Yang, let me tell you, I had a great time today. I talked to Mai Mai a lot and learned how to roast people from her. Now I don't feel guilty roasting people anymore, and today it came in handy."
Jiang Yang didn't speak, but listened quietly.
Yang Chaoyue continued, "Today, a distant relative passed through Yancheng and came to visit. She was a woman, and she had just graduated from university not long ago. Let me tell you, I've always had a very bad impression of her. Back then, my parents had just divorced, and my father was raising me alone. Life was very difficult for him. Once, when she came to my house, she saw my father sewing a schoolbag for me and made sarcastic remarks." (End of Chapter)
