Chapter 129: What Posture Is This?

Qi Yan often forgot about other things when she got busy.

When the shoot ended, the sky outside was already completely dark.

She leaned against the wall to rest and raised her hand to hammer her sore back.

“Hey, Qi Yan.” A female celebrity called Xiao Xiao came out to look for her after changing.

“I’m here.”

Qi Yan stood up straight and waved at her. “Is there anything else?”

“Oh, I just wanted to ask about that set of jewelry. Did you contact the brand to get it back?”

Xiao Xiao asked casually.

“Uh, no. I asked a friend for help.” Qi Yan did not say much, afraid that she would cause trouble for Nan Zhe.

“I see.” Xiao Xiao nodded and looked at her with a faint smile. “Then I’ll leave first. Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s only right. I’ll drive you.”

After Xiao Xiao got into the car, the smile on her face disappeared.

The agent asked, “Did you ask?”

“She said that she asked a friend to get it back. Could her friend be President

Nan?”

Xiao Xiao thought about it carefully and turned to look at her manager.

“How’s Qi Jia?”

“She’s been asking about our side. Someone at the filming location said that they saw Nan Zhe personally go over to get it with their own eyes. If Nan Zhe went over to take it, Qi Jia wouldn’t dare to say anything even if she had the balls to do it.”

“This time, Qi Jia shot herself in the foot.”

“It’s a free opportunity to become a trending topic online. It’s a waste not to accept it.” The manager’s mind was racing.

“Qi Jia was the one who caused trouble for us first. When the time comes, the netizens will definitely chase after her. We can also take the opportunity to cause hype using Nan Zhe.”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao was a little afraid. “Using Nan Zhe to create hype… Will something happen?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? If anything happens, push the blame on Qi Jia. If not, there’s still Qi Yan’s studio. Besides, the netizens were the ones with overactive imaginations. Did we say that we have that kind of relationship with

Nan Zhe?”

Wasn’t this how the entertainment industry worked? If anything happened, they could just push the blame on the fans and netizens. Anyway, when the time came, they would have the popularity they needed. They could just casually brush it off later.

Even if Nan Zhe wanted to cause trouble, he would not come after them.

Qi Yan stood at the door and was instantly sobered by the cold wind.

Winter in Huai City was especially long this year, making Qi Yan feel like she was still in the north.

She crossed her arms and trudged back up the steps.

Halfway through, a shadow suddenly fell in front of her.

She lowered her head, her long hair sliding down her neck. Looking at the shadow on the ground, she paused.

The two of them stood face to face. The other party seemed to be blocking the wind. Because they were close, she could clearly smell the sweet smell of fruit candy.

It was a little familiar…

“When can you change your habit of not wearing a jacket when you go out?” Qi Yan relaxed when she heard this unhappy voice.

For some reason, she felt relieved when she heard his reprimanding tone.

Her exhausted body seemed to have suddenly found a safe haven. She could finally relax. She did not have to be so serious or so strict…

Her shoulders slumped as she relaxed.

However, at the same time, she looked up and smiled at Nan Zhe.nov/o/?

“I just came out to send them off. It’s troublesome to keep putting on and taking off my coat. I’m going back now.”

Seeing her arch her body, he could not help but complain.

“What posture is this? You look like a little old lady about to die of old age.” Despite his words, he still reached out his hand to make it easier for her to walk.

Qi Yan grabbed his arm. It was indeed easier to walk. “My back hurts. It’s an old ailment.”

“By the way, how much of my candy did you eat?”

A strong candy smell surrounded him like perfume. Wasn’t it the smell of chewing gum and fruit candy that she had placed in the lounge?

Nan Zhe could not remember clearly. “I ate them all.”

“Huh?”

Qi Yan was stunned. “I only put one box of chewing gum outside. There seem to be two packets of fruit candy.”

How could he have eaten them all?

“Yes,” Nan Zhe replied.

When they returned to the lounge, Qi Yan realized that Nan Zhe was not lying to her. There were a lot of candy wrappers in the trash can. Looking carefully, there was only an empty box of chewing gum left on the table.

“You…” She turned to look at Nan Zhe. After a while, she held back her words.

“Don’t your teeth ache?”

“It doesn’t hurt.” Nan Zhe pulled her to sit down and pressed her waist as he replied, “My smoking addiction is acting up. I happened to see that you have candy here. Look at how petty you are. I’ll take you to the supermarket after dinner and make it up to you.”

It was not about the candy. She had low blood sugar, so she always prepared some wherever she went.

She caught something in his words. “Didn’t you have cigarettes?”

Nan Zhe did not hesitate. “No.”

Qi Yan nodded and let things slide. It was getting late, so she asked him what he wanted to eat.

“Let’s not go out. We can order takeout and eat here.”

“That won’t do.” Qi Yan felt that it was inappropriate. He had come all the way here to help her. It was wrong to just treat him to takeout.

“You don’t have to be so serious with me. Coincidentally, the people downstairs haven’t eaten either. I’ll order more for everyone.”

He quickly changed the topic and placed his focus on her back. He softened his grip and asked her if she had any ointment there.

Qi Yan shook her head.

Immediately after, she heard the person beside her click his tongue. “Your back really gives you a lot of trouble. I’ll bring you back to Jiang City to see a doctor another day.”

“Jiang City?” Qi Yan subconsciously turned around to look at him. Just as she was about to get up, Nan Zhe stopped her.

He pushed her shoulder. “Turn around. Don’t move.”

“Oh.” She sat closer to the front. Nan Zhe leaned back so that he could see her back clearly.

“There’s no need to trouble yourself. I’ll go to the pharmacy later on my way home and buy two boxes of plaster.”

“It’s only a temporary solution. There’s a small clinic run by an old Chinese doctor near my high school. It’s better than using plaster.”

Qi Yan nodded casually and did not take it to heart.

“Just lie here for a while. I’ll go downstairs and ask them what they want to eat.

When the meal arrives, I’ll call you.” …Alright.”

Qi Yan could not dissuade him.

Nan Zhe opened the sofa bed and Qi Yan slowly climbed up under his gaze. Only then did he leave in relief.

Before leaving, he threw his coat on Qi Yan.

After lying on the bed for a while, Qi Yan grabbed the jacket and wanted to turn over. Just as she reached out, she felt something hard.

Suspiciously, she raised the coat to her eyes. A pack of cigarettes and a lighter fell into her hand.

“Huh?” She was stunned, thinking that she had seen it wrongly. After opening the cigarette box, she noticed them sitting inside neat and untouched.

Didn’t he say that he didn’t bring any cigarettes?

And this lighter…

It was still the rose lighter that was covered with scratches..

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
