Chapter 57: A Post for Her (2)

Mrs. Zhang stared at the closed door, sighed, turned her head, glanced upstairs, and sighed again. She went to the kitchen first, turned off the fire that was still cooking porridge, and made a cup of tea , was about to go upstairs to report to He Jichen when the doorbell rang.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ran to the door, opened the door, and saw Ji Yi who had gone and returned, a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Miss..."

As soon as she shouted two words, Ji Yi handed an envelope to Mrs. Zhang: "Sister Zhang, please pass this envelope to Mr. He, thank you."

After finishing speaking, Ji Yi smiled and politely said "goodbye" to Aunt Zhang, stepped into the elevator, and left again.

Mrs. Zhang waited until the number of floors in the elevator changed to "1", then closed the door, and walked towards the stairs. After taking only two steps, she realized that someone was standing on the railing on the second floor, and she stopped suddenly. , raised his head, and shouted: "Mr. He."

He Jichen stared at the closed living room door without saying a word.

Mrs. Zhang stood downstairs for a while, then raised her feet again, went upstairs, and walked to He Jichen's side. She handed the envelope over, and then said in a low voice, "I persuaded Miss a few times, Miss still didn't stay for dinner."

After a slight pause for two seconds, Mrs. Zhang continued, "She left for a while, then folded it back and gave me this envelope."

Auntie Zhang finished speaking for a while, but He Jichen didn't respond, and she spoke again, "Mr. He?"

This time, He Jichen hesitated for a long time before slowly turning his head to look at the envelope handed over by Mrs. Zhang. He rolled his Adam's apple up and down twice, stretched out his hand, and took it.

Auntie Zhang didn't speak any more, and retreated tactfully. Before she entered the kitchen, she raised her head and glanced at the railing on the second floor. He Jichen was still there, but there was an extra burning cigarette in his hand.

...

In fact, there are some things that Mrs. Zhang doesn't tell him, but he also knows.

Because the moment he heard her voice downstairs, he opened the bedroom door, stood at the door, and looked at her quietly.

He heard her rejecting Aunt Zhang's words, and also saw the scene where she folded back the envelope to Aunt Zhang.

Know what it feels like to watch someone you love leave without being able to do anything about it?

At that moment, he felt that way, as if he was in dire straits and was suffering the punishment of being cut into pieces.

Ji Yi didn't dare to wear low-necked clothes no matter in the dormitory or in the classroom for several days in a row.

It took a full week for the marks He Jichen left on her to completely disappear.

Fortunately, it's already late autumn, and she's wearing thicker clothes, so she doesn't look out of the ordinary.

On the eighth day after that incident, Ji Yi received a call from Director Liang's assistant, Xu Yi.

Xu Yi told her that he proposed her in front of Director Liang, who still remembered her and told her to come to the film and television city to audition this weekend.

After hanging up the phone, not long after, Ji Yi received an email from Xu Yi, which was the outline of the characters for Director Liang's latest movie.

For Ji Yi, she had waited half a year for this opportunity, so she naturally did not dare to take it lightly, so she spent a full two days on the film's character design.

Auditions started at ten o'clock, and Ji Yi arrived at nine o'clock.

The audition sequence was arranged in advance, Ji Yi was on the 14th, and she didn't hear the staff call her name until eleven o'clock.
