In the car, Leo sat alone in the back seat, his expression full of resentment.
"Gift." Ji Huaiyu took out a box and handed it to Ye Qingning.
"I have it too, I have it too." Leo immediately took out his gift and gave it to Ye Qingning as if he was afraid of being suppressed.
Ye Qingning thanked him and opened the two gifts one by one. One is an inkstone and the other is a writing brush. There is no doubt that one was auctioned and the other was handmade.
"How's it going? I made this with the best materials." Leo was like a child eager to be praised.
"It's great, I like it very much." Ye Qingning carefully put the two gifts back into the box, and it was obvious that he really liked them.
"By the way, have you found a hotel to stay in?"
"I'm staying at your house."
"He lives in my house."
The former is Leo and the latter is Ji Huaiyu.
"I don't want to live in your house. I'm not familiar with you. I want to go to the Ning family."
"A gentleman would not just spend the night at a lady's house." Ji Huaiyu put an end to all Leo's little thoughts with one sentence.
Leo pouted, leaning angrily on the back seat cushion and looking out the window.
Ye Qingning smiled slightly, "Leo, I have a performance next weekend. If you are not in a hurry to go back, do you want to come?"
Sure enough, Leo's eyes lit up. He leaned his head forward and stared at Ye Qingning with a pair of dog eyes, which made people feel soft.
"What show?"
"I collaborated with a star on a song before. He invited me to attend his concert, but I won't show my face. Do you want to go?"
"Go, of course." Leo agreed immediately.
"Okay, then I will go upstairs and get the tickets for you later, but I have to prepare for the concert this week, so I can't play with you. You have to listen to Brother Huaiyu this week and don't run around, okay? "
Speaking of this, Leo was a little dissatisfied again. "I'm going to stay in a hotel. I don't want to live with Ji."
"You are not familiar with this place. There is no one else in Brother Huaiyu's house. You can paint in peace and no one will disturb you, okay?"
Ye Qingning's tone was sincere. No matter how dissatisfied Leo was, he couldn't say no, so he could only nodded and leaned against the back seat.
Ye Qingning and Ji Huaiyu looked at each other and suppressed laughter.
"Working hard is a good thing, and it's okay to want to be perfect, but you must put your body first."
Ji Huaiyu and Ye Qingning grew up together. Naturally, they know that Ye Qingning has a hard-working and stubborn character. Either he doesn't do it or he has to make it to the end. It is precisely because of this that once he falls into a certain link, he will not eat or drink. Train hard.
"I know, I promise to eat well and sleep well."
"If you don't plan to show your face, aren't you ready to tell your elder brother and the others?"
"Well, this is just a small hobby. I'll see how far I can go first. Maybe I can give them a surprise."
Ji Huaiyu knew about the registration from the beginning and gave a lot of advice on the music.
Ji Huaiyu has always respected and affirmed any of Ye Qingning's decisions. He would never undermine Ye Qingning's self-confidence. On the contrary, he would give her some suggestions in corresponding aspects. Even if she didn't understand something, he would understand it himself before giving it to Ye Qingning. pertinent advice.
Sometimes, Ye Qingning himself doesn't understand why he is more dependent on Ji Huaiyu than his family. The impact of one year's time together seems to be longer-lasting and more profound than she thought.
The lights in the Ye family were on, and it seemed that Ye Shaohua and the others were back. Leo was locked in the car and couldn't get out. Ji Huaiyu got out of the car and ignored Leo's accusation.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, I will pick you up that day."
"Well, you should pay more attention to Leo this month."
"It's so big, you can't throw it away." Ji Huaiyu was a little dissatisfied when he saw that Ye Qingning was thinking about others.
"You are so childish."
"Then am I old or young?" Ji Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and leaned close to him.
Ye Qingning suppressed a smile, as if he didn't expect Ji Huaiyu to still remember this incident. She raised her eyes, and a snowflake just happened to hang on Ji Huaiyu's eyelashes.
"It's snowing." Ye Qingning's eyes flashed with surprise.
Ji Huaiyu also followed her gaze and looked up.
Ye Qingning stretched out his hand and watched the snowflakes melt in his hand.
"Go to bed early, good night, Aning." Ji Huaiyu tied her plush coat tightly.
"OK, good night."
Ji Huaiyu put the snowflakes on her head away and watched her go home with extremely soft eyes.
This time, he won't leave.
After returning home, Ye Qingning said good night to Mr. and Mrs. Ye and went upstairs, but met Ye An who had just left the room.
"good?"
"Yeah." Ye Qingning knew that Ye An was asking her about the apprenticeship banquet.
Because the occasion was quite serious, the Ye couple did not bring their two children. Ye Qi and Ye Lin's home stadium was not in this circle, so they only sent congratulatory gifts.
"Who are you, that person downstairs?"
"Did you see it?" Ye Qingning blushed slightly.
Ye An looked at it and raised his eyebrows. "Puppy love?"
"No...no, it's my neighbor's brother."
"Oh ~ childhood sweetheart." Ye An raised his chin.
Ye Qingning was made more and more shy by her tone, and the tips of her ears were red. She didn't dare to meet Ye An's eyes, but she gave a soft 'hmm', which was considered affirmative.
"Which step is it?" Ye An suddenly approached, scaring Ye Qingning so much that he took a step back and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No no."
Ye An didn't say anything, just nodded with raised eyebrows and was about to go downstairs.
"Where are you going?" Ye Qingning asked.
"Pour some water." She shook the water glass, "Are you afraid that I'll sue you?"
Ye Qingning knew that Ye An was teasing her, so he glared at her pretending to be angry and ran back to the room.
She didn't know that after the news of the apprenticeship banquet was leaked, netizens started to get angry again. Fortunately, there are not many netizens paying attention in this circle. Compared with this, they are paying attention to Han Qingqiu's upcoming concert on Sunday and the mysterious man Q.
For a whole week, Ye Qingning practiced in the music room. She doesn't use the Internet very much, and she will devote all her energy to practicing before such a large occasion. Naturally, she doesn't know the ups and downs on the Internet.
Soon, the appointed time arrived. Ji Huaiyu was already waiting downstairs, still bringing a light bulb Leo.
Because there was no need to show her face, Ye Qingning did not wear a dress, but wore a relatively simple and elegant long skirt, paired with a horn button coat, which was full of Korean style without losing the girlish atmosphere.
"Are you nervous? Ning?"
"A little bit." Although Ye Qingning has participated in many large-scale competitions, this is the first time for Ye Qingning to participate in this kind of concert, so she can't help but feel a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ji Huaiyu lowered Ye Qingning's hat.
"Yes." Ye Qingning hugged Ji Huaiyu, just like she did when she participated in the competition. Holding him not only brings warmth, but also a sense of security.
He witnessed her growth, and she watched him grow from a thin boy to the reliable person he is today.
