CH 53

After getting the expected answer, Cheng Suran's tense nerves finally relaxed, she let out a long breath, and her two small dimples sank deeply.  Seeing Jiang Yu smile, she smiled too, her bright black eyes were full of luster.

But soon she realized that she had gone too far and shouldn't show too much emotion in front of her sister, so she restrained her thoughts, her smile faded, and she said, "It's good you like it."

She stood quietly by the sofa, keeping a distance of two steps from Jiang Yu, with her small hands hidden by her side grabbing the nightgown.

Jiang Yu glanced at her and said, "I'll let Tian Lin take it home tomorrow."

"Mm, good." Cheng Suran nodded with a smile.

There is sourness in her smile.

Gifts can go home with her sister, but she can't. But she made the gift, so if she thinks about it, at least the gift is okay.

Let the gift go home instead of her and her sister.

Walking away, Jiang Yu had already withdrawn her eyes and focused on the model. Her slender fingers caressed the clay figurine, her movements were very light, her expression was also pleasantly surprised, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

"Elder sister…"

"Mm?"

Cheng Suran looked at the woman, hesitant to speak.

After the gift was given out, there was no business for her anymore, and she shouldn't stay here any longer, but there were some things hidden in her heart, and she wanted to say them but couldn't dare to say them.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu frowned slightly.

Cheng Suran held on to her nightgown tightly. After a long time, she mustered up her courage and said, "I know, the relationship between us... is money. You pay the money and I give my body. It's a deal. But after all, we've known each other for so many days. You're not only a benefactor but a senior to me, a big sister. I have never seen you with a filter, so... under the runway, you are also an ordinary person. You have your own life, maybe what I see is not the real you, but it must be a part of you, um... Anyway, I hope you can be happy, um... No matter what happens in the future, no matter how many side you  have, no matter what you look like, I will firmly stand by your side..."

She was too nervous, and afraid that her voice would tremble uncontrollably, so she stuttered and messed up, and in the end she didn't know what she said.

Confession, or consolation, explaining the meaning of making this gift?

At that time, the public opinion on the Internet was so fierce, how could her sister not know that being submerged in criticism for a whole day, she must need her comfort and determination—even if she is a canary without emotion, for the sake of money, she should not hesitate to support the sponsor.

She's not a canary without feelings, but she stabbed her sister indirectly.

She was too anxious and too stupid. In the past few days, she has gradually realized that it doesn't matter whether she has a special place in her sister's heart. Since they met, until now, even if they are not friends, they are strangers who can talk a few words, she shouldn't do that.

The gift carries her best wishes for her sister.

Let her just be a canary in peace...

Cheng Suran stood under the lamp and smiled, her dimples were filled with a little light, but her eyes were dim.

Jiang Yu looked at her and remained silent for a long time.

"Then I'm going to bed, good night sister."

"Wait "

Cheng Suran stopped.

"Nevermind..." Jiang Yu's eyes were a little evasive, she turned her face away, "Go to sleep."

"Okay." Cheng Suran nodded obediently, and turned back to the room without any hesitation.

The later the time, the darker the night.

Jiang Yu stood there in a daze for a while, went to the bathroom to take a shower, came out, took a wet face towel, wiped the acrylic box carefully, and wiped the model with a dry soft cloth on the parts she touched.

Then put on disposable gloves, clean up the trash and paper scraps, throw them away together with the gloves, and return to the model.

This is the first time she has received a handmade gift.

The kid is right. Those mass-produced things such as clothes, bags, and cosmetics can be bought with money. She can buy a lot. Over the years, she has collected all kinds of gifts from fans, there are even duplicates, and they can hardly be piled up in the warehouse at home.

Birthday is an ordinary day in 365 days, but tonight she felt the specialness of this day.

Because this gift is unique.

The scenes and villains, down to the curly edges of her hair and the screws of the swing frame, are exquisite and lifelike everywhere. Obviously, it took a lot of time and energy to make them look like this.

She almost missed it.

Jiang Yu stroked her little self, and warmth flowed from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't put it down.

She took a photo with her mobile phone and logged into her Weibo account.

@Meat-eating.HerbivoreJWY: You are unique [picture]

Settings are only visible to her.

After posting on Weibo, Jiang Yu put the model back into the transparent box, sent a message to Tian Lin, turned off the headlights, and returned to the second bedroom.

The room was dark, with a small arched outline on the bed. She closed the door, groped into the bed in the dark, and hugged the girl from behind as usual.

The person in her arms trembled, then her body froze and didn't make a sound.

Jiang Yu didn't speak either.

The thick darkness magnified the silence infinitely, and after a while, the sound of slightly heavy breathing came to her ears, as if covered by something and couldn't breathe.

She frowned, stretched out her hand, and pulled back a little of the quilt, "Aren't you feeling suffocated?"

"..."

"I know you're not asleep."

"Mm."

The arms around her waist tightened, and Cheng Suran couldn't help tightening her shoulders, trying to resist the urge to turn around and hug Jiang Yu. She silently said that she was a canary three times, and her beating heart gradually calmed down.

"Turn around." Jiang Yu ordered calmly.

Cheng Suran was startled, and immediately turned over obediently.

Facing each other, breathing each other's breath, expressions blurred by darkness.

"Why did you throw the gift into the trash can?" Jiang Yu brushed the hair off the girl's face with a low tone.

Cheng Suran didn't speak.

"Hmm?"

"..."

"Speak."

"I thought you didn't need..." she whispered aggrievedly.

Jiang Yu was startled, and probably guessed the reason.

She didn't say anything, and didn't think about it anymore, she folded her arms, buried her face in the girl's neck, sniffing the sweet and soft milk fragrance, she couldn't help but get a little excited.

It's been days since.

She really wants to.

Jiang Yu leaned over to kiss her lips, passed through the silk material with one hand, and pinched the tip of the peach.

"Mm, sister—" Cheng Suran struggled to avoid the kiss.

"Be obedient."

"No, no, not today, I...my visitor is here..."

If the lights in the bedroom were turned on at this moment, she would definitely be able to see how red her face was.

Does sister want to fight bloody battles?

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately discouraged, she withdrew her hand.

"Go to sleep."

"But you can do it..." Cheng Suran's brain became hot, and she hugged Jiang Yu, not wanting to miss this golden opportunity.

She has been greedy for her sister for a long time.

Jiang Yu pushed her away mercilessly, turned sideways, "Good night."

"..."

It was late autumn in Jiangcheng in November, and as the temperature dropped again and again, most of the plants began to wither.

The C1 exam was approaching, and Cheng Suran became more and more busy. She seized the last bit of time to do targeted exercises. She devoted all her energy to it. Every day, except for class and meals, she went to the library, occasionally chatting with foreign teachers, leaving early and returning late.

The relationship with her sister has eased a lot, but there is still a clear sense of distance between them. For some reason, she always felt that her sister was hiding from her intentionally or unintentionally.

Waking up every morning, not being able to see the person beside her, sleeping every night, hugging and saying a few words, just like this, day after day.

Seeing the countdown number getting smaller and smaller, Cheng Suran knew that she was powerless to change anything, so she simply stopped thinking about it. As long as she liked her sister, it was enough, and liking didn't necessarily require that person's response. Even if it's just a solo show, it can be fun.

The day of the test is the weekend.

Opening her eyes in the morning, Cheng Suran habitually touched the place next to her, it was empty and cold, she withdrew her hand as expected, got up to wash, and had breakfast.

She sent Jiang Yu a good morning.

She was a little hesitant. Should she tell her sister that she has an exam today? She wants to get encouragement from that person, but... well, it's not good to disturb her sister with such trivial things, and nothing will happen without encouragement.

Wandering, the phone vibrated.

Sister: [Morning, good luck on your exam.]

Cheng Suran's eyes lit up, showing joy, her tightly pursed lips couldn't help but rise, and she quickly replied: [Yeah, I will work hard.][Good baby.jpg]

A few days ago, she mentioned the exam casually, but her sister just hummed twice perfunctorily, as if she didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, her sister not only remembered, but also actively encouraged her. Does this mean that she has a little place in her sister's heart…

Stop.

Cheng Suran took a deep breath, patted her face, and hurried out.

….

Today the company came with a few A-class models, and they were initially establishing profiles and assigning agents. Jiang Yu had a face-to-face meeting with them, and then was dragged away by Qi Yan.

The new issue of the magazine has a new theme, and the main photographer usually selects the models, but Qi Yan's habit is to first invite people to test film one by one. Unfortunately, all the models who fit the theme style had jobs outside, so she could only grab Jiang Yu.

"Hurry up, I'm on a business trip in the afternoon." Jiang Yu sneered standing in front of the camera lens.

Qi Yan made an OK gesture, looked at the film carefully, and said to herself: "Don't rush me, you are quite suitable, why don't you just shoot this issue? No, no, I feel that you are suitable for any style..."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Boss Jiang's level is comparable to those young models?" The stylist flattered her.

Jiang Yu ignored it, and suddenly remembered something. Seeing that she had finished filming, she walked over quietly, "Come out, I have something to ask you."

"?"

Qi Yan saved the photo, turned around and followed.

The two left the big studio and came to the corner of the corridor. She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"That day in the hospital, little...cough, did Ranran ask you something about me?" Jiang Yu stared at her face.

"No."

"I know all about it, so you don't need to cover her up."

"..."

Qi Yan lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled ironically, "Did Bai Lu tell you?"

"Don't talk about irrelevant things."

"So what if she asked, I didn't say anything bad about you, and it's been a long time, who still rarely remembers those things about you. Fortunately, I forgot quickly, otherwise my Qiao Qiao would still eat..."

"But what was Ranran's expression at that time?" Jiang Yu interrupted softly.

Qi Yan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Nervous? Distressed? In fact, no matter who it is, if their loved one is taken to the hospital, they will definitely be anxious. She doesn't know anything about you, so this emotion will be doubled."

"Is her photobook finished?"

"Mm, I'm going to have my assistant send one to you."

"It's okay." Jiang Yu raised her leg and was about to leave.

"Hey--"

Qi Yan called her to stop, sighed, and said in embarrassment: "Although I'm nosy, I still want to remind you not to get too close to Bai Lu, she's a little crazy, my instinct tells me that that person is abnormal, but it's up to you whether you want to listen or not."

Jiang Yu showed no expression, just nodded and turned to leave.

After returning to the office, she received a call from Tian Lin. The activities in the capital in the afternoon were temporarily canceled due to the weather, and her business trip plan was also forced to be canceled.

The little assistant sent two photobook.

The whole book is very thick, a little bigger than A4 paper, and it feels heavy in the hand.

The cover is a single full-body photo of Cheng Suran. She is sitting on the ground wearing a very short tube top dress, with half of her waist and back bare. It's too sexy, it looks pure and full of desire, which makes people daydream.

Pure desire, pure desire…

How dare someone surnamed Qi use this photo as the cover?

Jiang Yu lowered her face, flipped through the pages, and looked at them one by one. Her face softened a little, and she liked it more and more. She couldn't help stroking the girl's face in the photo with her fingertips.

Qi Yan's words echoed in her ears.

Could it be…

—— tok tok tok

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Before she could speak, the office door was pushed open, and a tall figure came in, "Sister Yu, I got my driver's license."

It's Bai Lu.

"Here, look, it's brand new." Bai Lu winked at Jiang Yu, handed over a small black booklet, sat down next to her, and wrapped her arms around her waist naturally.

Jiang Yu's body froze slightly, she opened the booklet and looked at it, then handed it back to her, "It's pretty fast, it's only been over a month."

The little fox had her hair in a bun and was dressed in casual black. She has changed from her previous enchanting and charming appearance, and looks a bit playful, but those fox-like eyes are still alluring.

Bai Lu put her driver's license in her pocket, and rubbed her ear affectionately, "Of course, it's all basic. Sister Yu, I'm here to share the good news with you, and I'm going to have dinner with friends later. I'm too busy these days. I miss you very much, very much.”

"Okay, okay, I know." Jiang Yu smiled and patted her head like a child.

Bai Lu lowered her eyes, glanced at the photobook inadvertently, her expression was slightly concentrated, "This is... your sister?"

Jiang Yu followed her gaze and looked down, calmly said: "Yes."

While talking, she closed the photobook calmly, and stuffed it into the coffee table drawer.

"Oh." Suspicion flashed in Bai Lu's eyes, "She's really beautiful."

A subtle embarrassment.

"Aren't you going to an appointment? It's already eleven o'clock." Jiang Yu reminded her with a light smile.

Bai Lu smiled unnaturally: "I'll go now. By the way, Sister Yu, I want to buy a car and drive around the city. I just got my driver's license and want to practice on the road. Do you have any recommendations? Send me a WeChat message, and I’ll be leaving first.'

She stood up, glanced at the coffee table drawer, and turned to leave.

There was only an eerie silence in the room.

Jiang Yu opened the drawer, took out the photobook, and glanced at the office door again, thoughtful of Bai Lu's words around her ears.

She remembered that the kid also had a driver's license, but she wondered if she actually been on the road.

A college student who is alone in the field and busy with part-time jobs and studies, obviously, even if she has a license, she has no car to use for practice, so she can only learn from the "book" for the time being.

Driving is also a life skill that must be mastered.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and sent a message to the kid:

[Do you have time in the afternoon?  Bring your driver's license to the company.]

After a short wait, the kid returned a six-second voice message.

"Okay, sister, I just got out of the exam, and I'm going to the subway..." The girl's warm and soft voice came from the phone.

Just in the last two seconds, a male voice suddenly came in from the side: "Ranran, let's go eat? What do you want to eat..."

The voice message ended.
