we are not friends anymore

One week after the release of c.air's ninth album, Qiao Mingxi held the script of the upcoming variety show with an increasingly dignified expression.

Shen Jiaen sat cross-legged on the sofa beside him playing games, looked up and smiled when he saw him like this: "Don't be so nervous, just go out and play."

"This..." Qiao Mingxi drew on the script with a pen, then raised her head and asked Shen Jiaen, "What do you mean?"

"Which one?" Shen Jiaen dropped the phone and moved closer to him, "Oh, that is, we can't carry wallets and phones with us at that time, so we can hitch a ride and go to our destination."

Qiao Mingxi's expression was dull for a moment: "Are you forming a team?"

"No, alone, we should be separated." Shen Jiaen reached out to get an apple from the fruit plate, "Don't worry, I heard that it's easy to catch a ride over there."

Qiao Mingxi looked down at the notebook with a troubled expression, and Shen Jiaen comforted him by nibbling on an apple: "Three days have passed quickly, and your English is so good, it must be much smoother than mine."

They will set off in two days to record a variety show called "Friends from afar".This program is different from the popular outdoor adventure variety shows nowadays. The main content is to eat, eat and play around the world.The resident cast member is Yin Yi, the young pop queen known as the "National Sister". She acts as a tour guide for each issue, and different guests gather with her at the travel destination as Yin Yi's friends for a three-day tour. travel.

Before c.air participated, the guests who had already recorded this show included three gold actress Yue Xinyou, first-line variety show star Shen Chu, folk song group Muye Tianchi, which has been prosperous for more than ten years, and a girl with a high nationality The group 37girl is a representative figure in various fields. The popularity of the whole program is also very high. Almost every episode is the champion of the ratings of the week.

"I heard that Yin Yi is a bit playful, just play with her." Shen Jiaen said, "Okay, don't watch, the program team will come to shoot in the morning, and Sister Na asked you to go back to the dormitory for the first night. "

"Got it." Qiao Mingxi nodded.

Shen Jiaen asked again: "Shall we go for dinner together? Ah Huan and I have reserved a table at a Sichuan restaurant."

"Not going." Qiao Mingxi shook his head, "I'll wait for Ji Yan to come back for dinner."

Shen Jiaen took a bite of an apple: "You might as well be on Ji Yan's body. I think the most difficult thing for you in this recording should be Ji Yan's absence."

Only three people went to record the variety show c.air this time. Qiao Mingxi didn't pay attention to this announcement before. Everything was arranged by Luna. He didn't know that Ji Yan and Lin Zining would not go until he got the script.

"By the way, where did Ji Yan go?" Shen Jiaen stayed in Qiao Mingxi's small apartment for a long time before remembering to ask.

Qiao Mingxi paused with her fingers flipping through the script, lowered her eyes and said, "Lin Zining doesn't know how to dance the second version of the new title, they're off to dance practice."

"Then you have to wait." Shen Jiaen gnawed on an apple until one cheek bulged, "At Lin Zining's level, you have to learn until dawn."

Qiao Mingxi lowered her head and said nothing, Shen Jiaen asked again: "Why didn't you go together?"

"I don't want to go." Qiao Mingxi said lightly, "It's five o'clock, why don't you go back?"

Shen Jiaen looked up at the wall clock on the wall: "Ye, no more traffic jams."

He threw the apple core in his hand into the trash can, clapped his hands and stood up: "I'm leaving, you really don't want to eat?"

"Be careful on the road." Qiao Mingxi said, "Don't be followed by the car, Sister Na will scold people."

"I know, Lu Yuan will come to pick me up." Shen Jiaen put on his shoes and opened the door, "I'm leaving, bye!"

Before Qiao Mingxi could speak, he left in a hurry.

Qiao Mingxi put down the notebook in his hand, took out his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway for two people. He felt a dull pain in his stomach, so he warmed up a glass of milk by himself, curled up on the sofa and held the milk cup in a daze.

The ticking clock on the wall was getting louder and louder in the silent room.

The dance of the title song of c.air's new album has two mv and concert versions. The latter has a more difficult Qi dance. Some of Lin Zining can't dance smoothly, so he practiced under Ji Yan's guidance. It was only after dark that I could barely keep up.

Lin Zining was so hungry that he lay down on the floor in a big character shape, and turned to look at Ji Yan: "I'm so hungry, do you want to eat?"

"Not going." Ji Yan lowered his head and packed his things, "Axi is waiting for me."

"Tsk tsk." Lin Zining rolled his eyes, rolled aside like a salted fish and picked up his mobile phone, "Forget it, I'll go to Jia En and Brother Huan to have dinner."

He was texting on his phone when suddenly the door of the practice room was pushed open and a person walked in.

"So hardworking? It's rare, Ah Ning."

The two turned their heads together, and Lin Zining sat up straight, "Sister Na, why are you here?"

"I have something to do with you." Luna walked in, "I heard that you are here, come and have a look."

She casually dragged the chair in the corner over, and said to Ji Yan, "The variety show about you."

Ji Yan zipped up her backpack, sat down on the floor, and motioned for Luna to continue.

"I've told you before that "Change, Life!" is the first time the national teacher has done a variety show to test the water." Luna said, "You are the one he asked for by name, and I don't need to say more about the rest."

"Change, life! "is a variety show personally produced by a master-level film director known as the national teacher. At present, the preparations are almost complete, and it is in the stage of contacting guests.Among the three selected guests, only Ji Yan was personally called by the national teacher. Variety shows are just testing the waters. The real focus of the national teacher is a new movie that is being prepared. He intends to let Ji Yan play the leading role. Luna therefore Pushed "Friends from afar" and accepted this program for Ji Yan.

"Ayan, I'm still at ease." Luna said, turning her head to look at Lin Zining, "The national division team over there means that we can have another person here, although it is not permanent, it is still very good I want to go to Aning, I read the original work of the new film of the National Teacher, and there is a character that is very suitable for Aning, I take this opportunity to go to the National Teacher to brush my face first, and I will talk about the rest later. "

"Huh?" Lin Zining was taken aback, and suddenly realized, "No wonder you didn't let me sign "You Friends" together, sister Na, ah, I want to play too—"

"What are you playing? How many people want to enter the National Teacher's film?" Luna rolled her eyes at him, "That's it, A Yan's contract has been signed and there is nothing to do for now. I will prepare first. , Aning, you can sign the contract with me in two days."

"Obey!" Lin Zining gestured, "Thank you, Sister Na~"

"The opportunity is rare, give me a good chance, or I will cut your hair." Lu Na rubbed Lin Zining's soft hair, "That's it, Aning, you go back first, I still have something to say to A Yan."

Lin Zining said "oh", got up obediently, packed his things and left.

Luna saw him open the door and walk away, then turned her head to Ji Yan and said, "Did you tell Ming Xi about your acceptance of this variety show?"

Ji Yan was silent for a while before saying: "Not yet."

"It's the first time I've played Chop and Play." Luna sighed, "I'm here to tell you that you have to talk to Mingxi. Several good resources have been pushed according to his intentions, although the impact is not great for the time being. , but we can’t go on like this forever.”

Seeing that Ji Yan didn't speak, she said again: "The development paths of the two of you have been different for a long time. Your resources are not suitable for Mingxi, and Mingxi's resources are not suitable for you. Over the past few years, you have the best momentum. It's stalled."

"The third princess is Mingxi's older sister. I can only listen to her and let Mingxi do it. Anyway, I don't care about this matter. You can only talk to Mingxi. Mingxi has such a good personality and will listen to you."

Ji Yan suddenly smiled when she heard her say this, and nodded after a long time: "I understand, Sister Na."

It was already dark when Ji Yan returned home, and the room was pitch dark when he opened the door. He pressed the light to turn on, and found an unmoved takeaway in the nearby restaurant.

He paused, changed his shoes and walked into the living room. He saw Qiao Mingxi curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. There was still half-drunk milk on the table. He approached and touched the cup, which was already cold.

He bent down to hug the deeply asleep boy, but at this moment Qiao Mingxi opened his eyes in a daze.

"Go back to bed and sleep." Ji Yan whispered.

Qiao Mingxi didn't speak, hooked his neck and buried her face in his neck.Ji Yan went into the bedroom and gently put Qiao Mingxi on the bed. The boy still hugged him tightly, preventing him from getting up.

Ji Yan gently pulled Qiao Mingxi's hand away: "Go to sleep."

Qiao Mingxi stared at him with eyes open, and said softly, "I know you accepted the variety show of the National Teacher."

After a pause, Ji Yan stuffed Qiao Mingxi's hands into the quilt and covered them. He got up together, but saw Qiao Mingxi turned around and lay on his side, reaching out and gently grabbing the corner of his clothes.

"Ayan." He didn't look at him, but just called his name softly, "Did your wish... come true?"

Ji Yan looked down at his hands, Qiao Mingxi was very white, and his fingers were also slender and tender.He was silent for a long time before gently pulling the corner of his clothes out of his hands, kneeling on one knee by the bed and bending over.

He kissed his eyes briefly: "Go to sleep."

Qiao Mingxi's fingers were still in the same position as before, and he didn't move at all. He watched Ji Yan get up after kissing his eyes, and watched him open the door and walk out of the room.

It took a long time for Qiao Mingxi to move, pulled the quilt over his head, and shrunk in.

On the day of departure, the film crew of "Friends from afar" will go to the guest's home to record a wake-up content. Luna explained in advance that both Ji Yan and Qiao Mingxi will go back to the dormitory, so as not to spread the news of internal disagreement in the group.

Qiao Mingxi packed his luggage and went back to the dormitory the next day. He still needs to take out the packed things and pack them again in front of the camera.

The film crew arrived before dawn, and Qiao Mingxi was dragged out of bed by the energetic Shen Jiaen in a daze, and went to wash up in the little yellow duck pajamas. The cameraman followed him all the way, and saw that he was already fully dressed and packed his luggage for him Ji Yan quickly moved over to give a close-up.

A dozen or so people from the film crew walked back and forth in the dormitory and followed the three of them. Lin Zining couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, so he simply got up and made trouble next to Shen Jiaen. They shot all the way.

In the end, Ji Yan and Lin Zining sent a group of people downstairs. After the film crew got into the car one after another, Qiao Mingxi looked back, and saw that Ji Yan was no longer there.

"You and Ji Yan have such a good relationship." The editor-in-chief in the passenger seat turned his head and smiled at Qiao Mingxi.

Qiao Mingxi also smiled at him, but didn't speak.

The group went to the airport and boarded a special plane. It was inconvenient to record content on the plane. In fact, it was a real break time. Shen Jiaen was in a good mood, sitting between Yi Huan and Qiao Mingxi while eating snacks and talking to them.

"When will Lin Zining's insanity be cured?" Shen Jiaen said with plum sugar in his mouth, "I only have two sandwiches in total, and he ate one for me in one bite, so angry."

Yi Huan, who was sitting near the aisle, smiled, and said to him: "Xiao Ning has a troublesome personality, don't you know that? And he recently received a good announcement, and he is in a good mood, which is normal."

"What announcement?" Shen Jiaen asked while unwrapping potato chips.

Yi Huan felt a little regretful after saying what he said. He turned his head and glanced at Qiao Mingxi who was by the window. The other person was wearing a blindfold. He was huddled in the blanket, and his head was crooked like he was leaning against the window.

"What do you think Mingxi is doing?" Shen Jiaen asked, "He fell asleep, do you want to call him?"

"No, don't." Yi Huan stopped him, paused, and said in a low voice, "Sister Na asked Xiao Ning to go with the variety show that A Yan accepted."

Qiao Mingxi woke up before the plane landed, and turned on his mobile phone as soon as he got off the plane. The program team was standing on the open space to organize. He sat on the suitcase for a while, and suddenly took out his mobile phone to make a call.

When the cold female voice came from over there, he was silent for a while before speaking: "Sister, I want to talk to you about something."
