Chapter 59 p3
At this moment, Meng Jiang was holding her phone. From the audience’s perspective, this picture was as if there was a hint of a smile in Qi Sijia’s eyes.
In her ear was Qi Sijia’s warm voice. “Meng Jiang invited me over.”
The host asked, “It’s particularly difficult to invite you to join the group. Is it only the famous actress Meng who can invite you to join the group at any time?”
Qi Sijia replied, “I guess so.”
The implication was that besides Meng Jiang, she was special.
Meng Jiang’s mind went blank for a moment, and then a fragmented memory came rushing back.
In fact, Qi Sijia’s preference had always been like this. It was not very passionate, but her preference was fearless. Whether it was during their first love five years ago or now, Qi Sijia didn’t like to talk to anyone, but she only liked to talk to Meng Jiang. When they went out for dinner, Qi Sijia would definitely sit next to Meng Jiang.
Qi Sijia was very busy. The two scripts she had on hand were both key projects for the studio this year, and they were preparing to win awards. Sam had asked Qi Sijia to change the script, but Qi Sijia had refused. But because Meng Jiang was tired on set, Qi Sijia was willing to join the group.
Too much special treatment showed that even if this person didn’t say a word of love, every action she made showed her preference without any fear.
Having tasted the special preference from Qi Sijia, it was not difficult for Meng Jiang to understand why she liked Qi Sijia. She liked her so much that even desire felt ugly, and she didn’t dare to be too blatant.
The video progress bar entered the last section. The host asked, “There are rumors in the industry that you disappeared from the circle for five years. What were you doing during that time?”
In the black and white video, Qi Sijia said, “I was sick.”
“I was at home.”
“Playing.”
The progress bar was repeatedly pulled back and replayed. The expression on Qi Sijia’s face when she said this, her raised finger, and the black and white pupils in her eyes, which showed no emotion.
Meng Jiang had watched it many times. When she looked up again, her eyes were stung by the light.
The driver knocked on the door and came in. This party was also coming to an end.
As she was about to leave Liyuan, Meng Jiang stopped Ye Qianqian.
The wind blew, and Ye Qianqian’s eyes cleared a little. She turned back. “Something wrong?”
Meng Jiang asked, “Is Qi Sijia sick?”
Ye Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Meng Jiang. “She told you?”
She had drunk too much. Meng Jiang rubbed her face. “She was about to tell me, but I didn’t have time to listen.”
“Then wait for her to tell you in person,” Ye Qianqian reined in her unserious expression and looked at the dark night.
Her tone was serious. “Sister Jiang, I don’t know if you’re serious about this relationship, but Qi Sijia has fallen for you this time. In the past, or before tonight, if anyone had told me that she had personally admitted that she was sick, I would have cursed them for being a liar and told them to get lost. But if you say it, I believe you. In the future, if she takes the initiative to bring up that matter with you, I sincerely thank you. Thank you for being willing to save her.”
There was an overflowing emotion in Meng Jiang’s eyes. In the end, she didn’t ask anything and just hummed in agreement.
After getting into the RV, the driver asked her which villa she was going to.
Meng Jiang said, “The Rose Garden, the one closest to the international airport.”
On the way back, the wind howled and hit the window. The receding city night scene flashed past her eyes. Meng Jiang looked out the window. In fact, no matter how magnificent the night of this city was, those scenes could not enter her eyes. She was not thinking about anything, but it seemed that she had already thought about it.
Ten minutes later, Chen Cheng sent Qi Sijia’s medical report. Meng Jiang looked at every indicator. Qi Sijia was healthy and had no problems.
Meng Jiang took out her phone, opened Qi Sijia’s chat window, wanted to say something, deleted and deleted, and finally it became two words.
“Good night.”
Before the message was sent, a line of words popped up in the dialog box.
“I’m here.”
“What?” Meng Jiang was stunned.
“What did you want to say to me?” Qi Sijia asked.
“Nothing.”
“Liar,” Qi Sijia exposed her. “The dialog box has been showing that you’re typing.”
Meng Jiang took a deep breath, thought of a reason that was not a reason, and said, “Jiang Teng has been caught.”
Qi Sijia replied with a “mmm.”
Meng Jiang said, “How have you been recently?”
“Not so good,” Qi Sijia said directly.
Meng Jiang’s gaze froze. She quickly asked, “Where are you uncomfortable?”
Qi Sijia: “If it were you, would you be suffocated?”
Staring at this message for several moments, almost subconsciously, Meng Jiang replied, “I’m so suffocated I could die.”
After sending it, she asked again, “Then what should we do?”
“Let’s press each other in a few days,” Qi Sijia said.
Meng Jiang’s mind instantly had a picture. She repeatedly chewed on this sentence in her heart and directly made a call.
The first thing she said to Qi Sijia was, “Last time you said that after I finished my business in the country and went back, you had something to say to me. Does that still count?”
Qi Sijia replied, “It counts.”
Meng Jiang called out to her, “Qi Sijia.”
“Mmm?”
“I miss you so much.”
“How am I supposed to answer that?” Qi Sijia asked. “If you miss me, why don’t you come back?”
Meng Jiang didn’t expect her to say that and was choked for a moment.
“I was just kidding,” Qi Sijia took the initiative to bring up the topic, her voice low and a little bewitching. She asked, “What did you call me for?”
Meng Jiang closed her eyes and said in a resigned tone, “I don’t want to pretend anymore. I don’t want to weigh whether that sentence will make you angry, or speculate whether you’re willing to continue developing this relationship. I just want to tell you that I miss you. This time, I really want to. Whether you agree or not, I’m coming back.”
In the phone line, Qi Sijia laughed softly. “I know. I didn’t say you couldn’t come back.”
After such a conversation, Meng Jiang’s heart was bright. She lay on the bed, and for the first time in these days back in the country, she slept soundly until dawn.
Qi Sijia did not ask Meng Jiang when she was coming back to M country. Some knots had been untied, and they needed to be said in person. And her mood was set. The things she wanted to say, neither of them was in a hurry. It was a tacit understanding that meeting in person was more direct than talking on the phone.
The script for Dark Tide was finally finalized on Wednesday.
In the past, all the employees of the studio had not been able to take a vacation for the New Year. Right generously gave them a two-week vacation.
Qi Sijia took a break from her busy state and stayed in Chicago for these few days.
On Friday, when she went to Mike for counseling, Mike laughed at her. “Why do I feel like you’re going to spend your entire vacation here with me?”
“You don’t like my kind of…” Qi Sijia looked up. “Active type?”
Mike brought a stack of medical records to his desk. His eyes were gentle, but the words he said were full of disgust. “A patient who is too proactive in seeking treatment tends to wear out the doctor. It seems I have to cure you quickly.”
Qi Sijia laughed. “Then you’d better hurry up.”
…
Since she had finished her call with Qi Sijia last time, Meng Jiang had been delayed in the country for three days. After dealing with all her affairs, she went to Nanxian to pick up Meimei.
A few months ago, Jiang Jun had suggested taking Meimei to see a foreign psychologist for consultation. At that time, Meng Jiang was on set, and her assistant had taken her once. The effect was there.
But a follow-up check-up was needed. Coincidentally, Meng Jiang was going to New York to see Qi Sijia, and a detour to Chicago would not take much time.
So when she heard that Jiang Jun was going to take Meimei for a follow-up check-up, Meng Jiang simply accompanied them. Before she went, she had made an appointment with Mike in advance.
But when they arrived, they were told that Mike had a patient who was in a consultation.
Qi Sijia came out of the consultation room and was about to go and change into a white coat to help Mike. But she happened to run into Meng Jiang, who was bringing Meimei for a check-up.
Their eyes met. In such a place, there was no need to say anything more.
A memory from the past came up.
The countless moments when Qi Sijia was awakened by Meng Jiang, the five or six bottles of medicine she had found in the master bedroom that night, and Qi Sijia’s “I was sick” in the interview.
Many things did not need any extra words to describe. Everything had an answer.
Now that they had met outside the consultation room, Meng Jiang even had a sense of an expected dust settling.
The surprised emotion only lasted for a second. After the surprise, Meng Jiang smiled gently. Qi Sijia raised an eyebrow and also smiled. She stood by the side and gestured for Meng Jiang to take care of her own affairs first.
Meng Jiang nodded, handed Meimei to Jiang Jun, said a few words, and then the assistant from the consultation room took the two of them in for a consultation. The door closed.
The corridor was crowded with people coming and going. There were patients waiting for consultation, and doctor’s assistants carrying documents and walking through the various consultation rooms.
In the noisy environment, Qi Sijia stood there. Meng Jiang turned around, and Qi Sijia’s gaze met hers directly. The world seemed to have become quiet.
Meng Jiang’s expression was calm, her beautiful and stunning features bathed in the light. She walked towards Qi Sijia step by step, her gaze no different from usual. The light soaked into her eyes. She stood in front of Qi Sijia.
Then she very slowly extended her fingers and hooked Qi Sijia’s palm. Qi Sijia came to her senses, her fingers went down, and she held this person’s hand firmly.
She looked up and heard Meng Jiang’s voice, which was filled with a light and happy smile. “I was wondering what it was.”
