Chapter 48: Behind the Hype
Li Ming, who has always been pretentious, has also been stared at by Ye Jing a little worried in the past few days, but he didn't expect that Ye Jing, who has always been about his own business, once stared at someone with black eyes and apricot eyes like this, he could unexpectedly make people feel a sense of guilt like deceiving a child......
"Ye Jing?" Li Ming, who was uncomfortable, moved his butt in the chair, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
In fact, Li Ming also knows this. Ye Jing must have wanted to verify whether the matter of the appraisal meeting was arranged in advance. Although for idol work, the little girl always looks reluctant to catch ducks on the shelves. But if there is really something in the club that bypasses her, she will definitely look depressed as if she has lost her meal ticket.
"No......" Ye Jing, who was sitting opposite, shook her head against her will. Although she wanted to confirm the matter with Li Ming, on the other hand, she was unwilling to admit that she had been used again. Thinking of her righteous and awe-inspiring appearance at the tasting meeting, Ye Jing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Uh-huh......" Li Ming watched Ye Jing's expression change with interest, "It would be nice if you had such a rich expression when you work......"
Ye Jing glanced at him, and was about to open his mouth to fight back, but he heard someone calling outside the door.
"Is anyone there?"
"Yo~~I've been waiting for you for a long time~~" Hearing the voice of the visitor, Li Ming hurriedly got up and opened the door for the guest, "Xiaojing, help make a few cups of coffee~~"
"Oh......" Ye Jing agreed, glanced at the visitor by the way, and couldn't help but gasp, "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes......
Although the people who came were just a few ordinary students with shoulder bags and no distinctive appearance and dress. But the club badge pinned to their chest was particularly eye-catching in Ye Jing's eyes, because it was the magazine that reported on the conflict at the appraisal meeting.
Sure enough, it was the result of Senior Li Ming's collusion with them and the hype......
For some reason, Ye Jing didn't feel relaxed at the moment, on the contrary, another emotion that bred in her heart made her feel even more depressed.
Ye Jing knew that for some obvious reasons, media clubs such as those that hosted school newspapers, publications and other publications have always been subject to the supervision of the student union, so it is understandable that things like joining forces to hype up are somewhat disgraceful. Although Li Ming's neurotic desire to control has been taught a lot during this time, but until now, he doesn't seem to want to tell himself the truth, compared to being played like a fool, this insight of the senior makes Ye Jing feel more burdened.
"Alas...... Sure enough, it's this expression again......" Li Ming looked at Ye Jing who was silently brewing coffee not far away, and couldn't help but shake his head. He always felt that Ye Jing's trait of writing all emotions on his face was easy to understand, but in fact it was not, because in the face of Ye Jing, who was like a blank piece of paper, he couldn't help but further ponder why this girl had such an expression.
For example, if she is laughing, is it because she has encountered something happy? What could it be?
People can't help but ask, Ye Jing, what's so happy?
Li Ming came back to his senses and forced himself to return his attention to the meeting he was having with several key members of IPIS-Xiaoqiang Weekly.
"That...... About this event......"
"Coffee is coming......" Li Ming flipped through his notes, just as he was about to make a statement. Ye Jing gently brought the hot coffee to everyone.
"Oh, there is labor and labor~~" Qu Qi, nicknamed Biscuit, is one of the writers of Xiaoqiang Weekly, and I saw him take the coffee with a smile, "It would be nice to say that we also had an idol club at the beginning, every day there are beautiful girls like this to serve tea and water, it's a blessing......"
Ye Jing broke out in a cold sweat, and sure enough, compliments like this are now routine.
"Hehe, how can there be ......" Li Ming waved his hand, "She is also angry with the guests, we serve her on weekdays, if you don't believe it, you can ask Qin Zhao about them~~"
"It's Qin Zhao's words, the sister paper is strict with him, maybe he can enjoy it more~~"
"Haha~~"
While everyone laughed, Li Ming noticed Ye Jing's embarrassed expression on her face that she didn't know how to deal with, the little girl, who was regarded as an idol taboo at the beginning, now seems to have an indispensable style.
Because, this is Ye Jing......
It's not that you need an idol, but you want Ye Jing to become an idol.
Between the lightning and flint, a pair of beautiful eyes crossed Li Ming's heart...... A year ago, it was also here......
I don't care if I win or lose in the idol club, I just want you to be an idol! If it's not you, then what's the point of all this?!
The streamer swept across the affectionate eyes of the autumn water, but it was like a thin needle, which made Li Ming tremble.
On the other hand, as if in a hurry to prove something, Ye Jing rarely sat down at the conference table seriously, pricking up her ears and trying to absorb every piece of information in the negotiation. But to her disappointment, since she joined, the only thing left about her and other idols was the topic of the conversation.
Ye Jing, who was bored, had to drink all her coffee and silently waited for the end of the meeting......
Li Ming, who felt that he couldn't recover his working state, finally ended the negotiation early, and after sending off everyone from Xiaoqiang Weekly, he sat alone in his chair thinking about something.
As far as the eye could see, Ye Jing was clumsily washing cups, just a few cups, but it also made the washstand full of water.
Li Ming joked: "Should I consider charging you more water bills......
"Then you wash it yourself!!" Ye Jing had a black line on her face, knowing that she was at a loss, she thought that Li Ming would continue to choke, but what she was waiting for was unusually quiet......
"Huh?" Ye Jing couldn't help but look back, the window facing north could not see the sun, leaving a large piece of light empty like a screen with a thick shadow to outline Li Ming sitting in front of him.
"Are you asleep......?"
"Ye Jing ......" Li Ming looked at Ye Jing's back, his heart seemed to be hanging, and he gradually felt unreal.
"How?"
Li Ming frowned and swallowed his throat until the expression that was always smiling returned to his face.
"What's that...... I didn't mean to hide the hype from you in advance, and I think you should admit that if you had known, it would never have had the same effect as the one at the meeting, right?"
The so-called effect is just a heartfelt statement that ends up being a ridiculous hype gimmick, right?
"Uh, why are you talking about this, I don't care about this......" Ye Jing licked her lips with a grin, "Besides, you didn't tell me afterwards......"
Don't you care? Li Ming broke out in a cold sweat.
"Actually, maybe in a way, maybe I've brought in too much personal feelings, and I always treat you as a ......," Li Ming said and suddenly stopped.
"What should it be?" Ye Jing looked puzzled, not understanding his words at all.
Li Ming sighed, and then said: "I think you also know that the idol of our club last year was your senior sister Zhang Luqi, and I ...... with her."
Li Ming rubbed the bridge of his nose, and his tone was very reluctant: "I and her because of some differences of opinion, and finally ...... Uh......"
"Did something happen?" Ye Jing asked.
"To put it simply......" Li Ming took a deep breath, "It's also quite a coincidence, the object of our support at that time was Zhou Jinyun, and I can't remember how the process was, anyway, in the end, in order to encourage her, your senior sister Luqi decided to participate in the track and field competition, and then ......"
Ye Jing vaguely understood that what Li Ming was talking about was something, and this is what Jinyun's sentence "She ran for me" on the hillside?
"Although she practiced very diligently, she was a transfer student after all, so in order to get the best results, I used the relationship of the club to find the track and field department to have a vacation...... Engage in a friendly match......" Li Ming scratched his ears, "I'm not justifying myself, facts are facts, no matter how hard she tries, it is impossible to get a ranking in the professional varsity queue, if she works hard for a long time but fails to reach the goal, do you think this kind of support effect can be allowed?
"As a result......, Sister Luqi got angry when she found out?" Ye Jing wanted to continue to ask about the beginning and end of the incident, but when she saw the obscure appearance of the senior who was always talking, she realized that this might really be the past that the senior didn't want to mention in his heart. Ye Jing is not the kind of person who likes to be difficult for strongmen and get to the bottom of things, so she can't help but feel compassion, "After talking for a long time, it's all about you and your senior sister, no matter what, it's over, what does this have to do with you hiding from me to hype?"
Li Mingwu, who was ready to vomit, heard Ye Jing change the topic, as if the scars that had been uncovered had been anesthetized again, and he didn't know whether to thank or worry.
But as Ye Jing said, it's all over, isn't it?
Li Ming let out a long sigh of relief, and pretended to joke lightly: "Aren't you afraid that you will run away like your senior sister?"
"Huh?" Ye Jing has always admitted that like most people, although she does not agree with many things, she can still understand the basic adaptation and flexibility, "I am not the kind of person who can adhere to principles very well......"
"Really?" Li Ming smiled: "Many times, your eyes are really similar to your senior sister......
You don't understand it at all! What you need to support is sincerity, and sincerity is not used as a gimmick for you! If you care so much about the final evaluation of the club, you shouldn't have come to ask me in the first place!
I don't care if I win or lose in the idol club, I just want you to be an idol! If it weren't for you, then what was the point of all this?!
Li Ming blinked his pantothenic eyes: "Ye Jing, this is the end of today's activity, let's go back and rest early......"
