we are not friends anymore

On Ji Yan's ring, the inner ring is engraved with the initials of his name in pinyin, and it seems that it is indeed Ji Yan's thing.But if you compare it with your finger, you will find that the size does not match Ji Yan's finger.

The ring that was really made according to Ji Yan's hand, with Qiao Mingxi's name engraved on the inner ring, was lying in Qiao Mingxi's locker at the moment.

This pair of rings was the second thing Qiao Mingxi asked Ji Yan to do after finally persuading Ji Yan to move out of the dormitory together.

It was the first time for Qiao Mingxi to fall in love, and seeing such unconventional behavior between couples felt very strange, so she dragged Ji Yan to order a pair of rings. Originally, the rings of the two were engraved with each other's name, but they were later replaced by Lu When Na found out, Qian urged Wan to not allow them to wear it in front of others.But Qiao Mingxi couldn't help the joy in his heart, and simply exchanged rings with Ji Yan.

He strung his ring engraved with Ji Yan's name on a chain, hung it around Ji Yan's neck on tiptoe, tilted his head and smiled happily: "My ring is on your heart."

It was a ring with Ji Yan's name engraved on it, but it belonged to Qiao Mingxi.

It's...my stuff.

Qiao Mingxi sat by the bed, thinking blankly.

"If you want something, just ask for it."

but……

But what if, at all, there is nothing at all... that belongs to me...

Qiao Mingxi moved her fingers, as if trying to grab something, but only the air flowed between her fingers.

The surroundings were too quiet, and he seemed to be back before he was 15 years old, sitting on the cold floor of the attic, knocking on the door that no one answered.

Lu Yuan managed to coax Shen Jiaen to sleep. Seeing his round face sinking into the soft pillow, a gentle smile appeared on the man's resolute face, and he bent down and kissed the boy's thick eyelashes.

At this moment, the doorbell rang outside the house, Shen Jiaen moved in his sleep, Lu Yuan patted him lightly to comfort him, and then he put on his gloves and went to open the door.

Qiao Mingxi was stunned when he saw Lu Yuan, as if he recognized the other person's face slowly, and said softly: "...Sorry, I heard Jia En said that you were on a business trip, I thought you were not here."

He was about to turn around as he spoke, as if he didn't want to disturb the two of them, but was stopped by Lu Yuan.

"Come in and sit down." Lu Yuan said, "It's going to rain."

Qiao Mingxi turned her head and glanced at the sky in a daze. The dark clouds were billowing, and it was indeed going to rain.

He lowered his head and followed Lu Yuan into the room: "Excuse me."

Lu Yuan motioned him to sit down on the sofa, and fetched him a glass of water: "Jiaen is asleep, I'll call him."

"Don't." Hearing his words, Qiao Mingxi stood up to stop him, "Forget it... don't bother him."

Lu Yuan didn't speak, just patted him on the shoulder lightly, then turned and went into the bedroom.

Qiao Mingxi sat quietly on the sofa holding a glass of water, lowering her head and thinking about something.Lu Yuan's low voice could be heard faintly from the bedroom door, Shen Jiaen, who was wearing pajamas, rubbed his eyes and opened the door after a while, while Lu Yuan closed the door softly, leaving space for the two of them.

Shen Jiaen walked to Qiao Mingxi's side, her voice was still sleepy: "Mingxi? What's wrong?"

Qiao Mingxi turned her head to look at him little by little, but Shen Jiaen was so shocked that she immediately woke up.

Qiao Mingxi was crying.

He didn't make a sound, and his eyebrows and eyes, which had never been lazy, were now full of grievances. Tears poured out of his eyes and flowed down his delicate face.

It was Qiao Mingxi's sad face that Shen Jiaen had never seen before.

When Ji Yan left half a year ago, Shen Jiaen never saw Qiao Mingxi cry; at the farewell concert, he himself cried so hard that he couldn't speak, and Qiao Mingxi never shed tears either.But on this day, which seemed very ordinary to him, Qiao Mingxi cried like a desperate child in front of him, tears all over his face.

Shen Jiaen was shocked, and quickly sat down beside him: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Mingxi just lowered her head and rested her forehead on Shen Jiaen's shoulder wearily.He opened his mouth, his voice sour and uncomfortable: "I'm sorry... I, I don't know why, but I suddenly want to come to you."

"Come if you want!" Shen Jiaen said, "I'm really, really happy that you can think of me when you're sad."

Qiao Mingxi has a personality that hides everything in his heart. When he first found out that he broke up with Ji Yan, Shen Jiaen and Yi Huan were also very worried. They thought about asking Qiao Mingxi to worry, but they were all dismissed by him saying "I'm fine". dismissed.

Shen Jiaen put his hand on Qiao Mingxi's shoulder, and the body under his palm trembled violently, which made his heart feel like being pulled hard: "If you have any troubles, just say it."

He simply stretched out his hand and gave Qiao Mingxi a deep hug from his friends.

Qiao Mingxi just kept silent, and gradually Shen Jiaen could hear his suppressed crying, which almost made Shen Jiaen's eyes turn red.

"...Jaen." Qiao Mingxi whispered, almost saying each word with difficulty, "I'm going to give up."

The stubbornness of the past eight years, the silence of the past six months.It wasn't until today that he really saw all this clearly.

At that time when he fell into the water, he saw the boy in his heart crying loudly; but on this day, it was himself who really cried out. After thousands of days and nights of struggle, he finally came to an end. 26-year-old Joe Ming Xi.

As soon as Huang Shen pushed open the office door, dynamic music rushed to his face. He frowned and knocked on the door frame, and said coldly: "Ye Mingzhi."

Ye Mingzhi was listening to the music with his eyes closed and shaking his head, when he heard the voice, he glanced at him lazily, and lazily reached out to turn off the stereo: "What's the matter?"

Huang Shen walked to the desk in a few steps and put the mobile phone in front of him: "What does this mean?"

Ye Mingzhi glanced lazily, but didn't answer.

Huang Shen got angry when he saw his appearance, and said coldly: "First, the best time to clarify is after two days of letting the matter ferment; second, why is the lawyer's letter issued in Ji Yan's personal name? How does this make the woman Do? Shiyue is also a member of Huangyao, even if a lawyer's letter is sent, it should be sent by the company, what do you mean by picking Ji Yan out?"

"First." Ye Mingzhi smiled suddenly, and shook his fingers, "The lawyer's letter was sent by Ji Yan himself from a lawyer, and it was only sent to Wei Zhuo. He gave it to you for my sake. I saved face with the company; second, you didn't just say anything about me from the beginning to the end of this hype, but you dragged my subordinates into the water. I didn't even look for you. Such a reason?"

Huang Shen opened his mouth to refute, but Ye Mingzhi stood up abruptly, with a smile on his always smiling face, showing complete indifference: "Third, Huang Shen, I have already paid back what should be paid to you. From now on, don’t step on my shoulders to climb up.”

After he finished speaking, he smiled coldly, and walked out first without waiting for Huang Shen to speak.

Wei Zhuo, the number one reporter in the paparazzi world, encountered the news that ended the fastest in his career.

On the second day after the gossip video was released, Ji Yan posted a lawyer's letter on his personal Weibo, which was sent to Wei Zhuo in his own name, suing Wei Zhuo for defamation.

Generally speaking, if an artist who is rumored to send a lawyer's letter is issued by the brokerage company or studio behind them, and most of the complaints are "damage to reputation", after all, most of the parties involved in the gossip do not have the confidence to really deny it. There is no such thing, unless it is a really fabricated rumor that is too magical.

But this time Ji Yan directly sued Wei Zhuo for slander in his own name. In the eyes of netizens, all the "true hammers" issued by Wei Zhuo were not true to him.Even Ji Yan, who is also an entertainer of Huangyao, who has always been calm and easy-going in front of others, didn't even show any affection to Tong Shiyue.

This time, even Tong Shiyue and Wei Zhuo were ridiculed by netizens for a whole day.

"I've been a fan of my husband for almost nine years, and it's the first time I saw him send a lawyer's letter, 666666."

"Wei Zhuo kicked the iron board this time hahahahaha! Yan Shao has a hundred likes!"

"Where are the Holy Mothers ashamed? It's obvious that the woman and the paparazzi have colluded, okay?"

"Speaking of which, no one remembers the Yanxi news incident back then... They were all photographed holding hands, and Yan Shao never came out to refute."

"How could you not remember! That was an epic event for Yanxi fans!"

"It's even sadder to say it this way. Think about what your Highness said...things are different."

"One hundred thousand words have been filled in the brain, Sunshine Loyal Dog Attack x Cruel Little Prince Shou."

"Go upstairs, please, loyal dog. It's not our little highness who is the first to fly solo."

"Face paralyzed fans, don't be so hostile, it's your master who posted it backwards, it's absolutely true."

"Why are they arguing again? Tuanfan said that all five are awesome, so stop arguing."

"Wei Zhuo get out of the paparazzi circle."

……

Ji Yan hung up the phone and stood by the window for a while, but he didn't open the curtains.Although the management of this park is fairly strict, there are usually a few well-connected reporters hiding in the dark, let alone now, I want to know how many reporters are ambushing at my door.

But he wasn't too worried, he had no other work for the past few days, and all his activities were just reading scripts at home.Besides, a lawyer's letter has clearly expressed his attitude.

Tong Shiyue got his private number from nowhere, and was still calling him persistently, so he simply turned off the phone with a sneer on his face.

When he made the first call, he didn't know who the caller was, so he answered it. As soon as he got through, he was crying pitifully, but he just sneered, and before he even finished talking, she said: "Before you tie me up for hype, remember to ask Get to know my personality."

They obviously didn't expect him to be like this. In the hearts of other young artists, Ji Yan is a stable and reliable senior who never makes people embarrassed. Many young female artists have secretly discussed his boyfriend power.

Tong Shiyue also thought that with Ji Yan's character, even if he was angry because of being tied up, he would look to cooperate with the company's face, but he didn't expect him to make such a simple move, as if he was not afraid of offending Huang Shen at all. .

"It's just a small hype." The girl cried and said, "I didn't take any substantive photos. I have prepared my arguments here. It just needs to be clarified by the company in two days. It's not good for you or me. Is it good?"

Ji Yan just chuckled and hung up the phone mercilessly.

If it's okay, it's not impossible for him to cooperate with the woman's hype, but Tong Shiyue has touched his scales.

He has always admitted that he is a person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but it doesn't mean that others can...

Ji Yan stretched out his hand to pinch the ring on his heart, rubbing against the uneven lines inside.He stood quietly for a long time, then pulled back his collar to hide the ring in, turned around and went downstairs.

In the living room on the first floor, Ye Mingzhi was teaching the assistant who caused trouble.The assistant curled up on the sofa like a frost-beaten eggplant, her head almost hanging down into the carpet.

"Forget it, Brother Ye." Ji Yan said lightly, "It's all settled anyway."

"And you!" Ye Mingzhi just seized the opportunity to point the gunfire at him, "Why don't you discuss it with me? Even if it's just me? You have an emperor and a eunuch, and you will piss me off as a cabinet minister."

The assistant looked up bitterly: "Brother Ye, can I not be a eunuch..."

Ye Mingzhi turned his head and stared at him suddenly, so he had to lower his head weakly.

The assistant and Ji Yan were sitting and standing one by one, and when Ye Mingzhi finished scolding, he told the two of them: "Tomorrow morning, the plane will fly to Hong Kong City to Mr. Huo's place. Don't take it!"

"Got it..." the assistant answered with a sad face.Ye Mingzhi glared at the two of them again, turned around, opened the door and left.

"Don't worry." Ji Yan went to the bar to pour water for himself, "I just use you as a punching bag, and it's not the two of us that he's really angry with."

"I know too." The corner of the assistant's mouth drooped, "But I was too careless in the first place, so I should be scolded."

Ji Yan didn't speak, the assistant glanced at him, hesitated for a while and said: "Brother Yan, that ring... Although you didn't say it, I also know that it has something to do with Brother Mingxi, right? You...don't tell him Say it? Or do you want me to explain it?"

Ji Yan's hands paused, and he said in a low voice: "I made a call, turn off the phone."
