Chapter 379: Joy is followed by sorrow
Bei Yichen and the others sat around the dining table, chatting about various topics.
The lights in the box flickered slightly, gilding each of their faces with a soft contour.
Listening to Ye Anli's words, he talked and laughed freely.
They talked about the recently released movies, and Ye Anli expressed his views and gave high praise to the plot and character creation of the movie.
His rhetoric was impassioned and could reach everyone who listened to him.
Then the conversation turned to tourism.
Ye described an island he once visited, where the sun, sand and sea were unforgettable.
His description aroused everyone's interest, as if they could see the beautiful scenery through his description.
Suddenly, the waiter walked in with a beautiful dish, and their conversation was temporarily interrupted.
Everyone stared at the food on those plates, and the sound of the food being served broke the silence of the box and ended the chat.
However, even after starting to enjoy the food, their conversation did not stop completely.
Bei Yichen still maintained his demeanor, smiling and listening to others' speeches, occasionally inserting his own opinions, making the whole atmosphere even more enthusiastic.
Bei Yichen sat at the dining table, his heart was filled with a touch of warmth and joy, and Nan Xixi sat next to him.
He looked at her, and the deep emotions in his heart were like ignited spices, slowly spreading in his heart.
Her smile, like the early summer sun, lit up his world.
He lifted his chopsticks, carefully selected the food, swiped it in the pot, and placed it in her bowl.
Every time the spoon fell, it was like hitting his heartstrings, and it was a faint but real happiness.
Watching her eat the food he served, the feeling of satisfaction came over her like a warm current.
From time to time, they whispered to each other.
Ye Anli looked at the appearance of the two of them, and couldn't help but tease, "I said Bei Yichen, can you still do it, why did you become like this now, hey."
Bei Yichen picked up a piece of freshly soaked meat and put it in his bowl.
"What's the matter, you're jealous."
Ye Anli picked up the piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "I eat meat, you continue."
After he swallowed the meat in his mouth, he leaned back in the chair to Mo Zining's side.
Mo Zining looked at him like this, and couldn't help but feel that he was a little naïve, and couldn't help laughing.
Ye Anli looked at Mo Zining, took a deep breath, and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Mo Zining lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then smiled lightly, but there was no smile in her eyes, "I still want to continue to be Xixi's assistant."
Ye Anli looked at her with some surprise, "Why? Don't you write books, don't you write scripts?"
"Stupid or not, even if I am her assistant, I will not delay."
Listening to the two of them arguing there, Bei Yichen swallowed a mouthful of food in his mouth, and then said, "If you two want to whisper, go home and continue.
Besides, what's wrong with being my wife's assistant, you're so opposed."
Bei Yichen gave Ye Anli a fierce look, and then Mo Zining smiled and said, "That's it, besides, Xixi won't let me do anything, I'm very idle."
When she said that, she heard Nan Xixi say, "Brother Anli, are you afraid that I will bully your girlfriend? Don't worry, I won't."
Mo Zining smiled and said, "Xixi, don't listen to his nonsense."
Seeing that everyone's spearheads were all turned to him, Ye Anli immediately showed weakness, "I was wrong, I shut up, I eat, you continue."
What followed was everyone's laughter.
After eating, the four of them got into the car together, and then Bei Yichen sent Ye Anli and Mo Zining back together.
Ye An
When Li and Mo Zining returned home, it was dark inside.
Instead of rushing to turn on the lights, they sat silently on the couch and soaked in the silence of the night.
The sofa is soft and comfortable, with just the right amount of recess to make you feel reassured.
The two sat down next to each other, no words, only the sound of heartbeat echoing in the quiet space, their bodies touching gently, passing a faint temperature to each other, which belonged to each other's dependence.
Although the room is dark, it does not affect their perception of each other.
They listened to each other's breathing, felt each other's emotions, familiar and intimate, at this moment, they seemed to be able to feel the rhythm of each other's heartbeat, like a wordless poem, flowing in this silent night.
They sat there quietly, as if waiting for something, or expecting something.
It was an indescribable feeling, like a seed waiting for spring to come, silently sprouting deep inside.
This is a kind of happiness in the ordinary, a kind of warmth in the silence.
There was a deep silence between Ye Anli and Mo Zining.
It was as if time stood still in this moment, only two hearts were silently communicating, and a subtle emotion was circulating in the air.
Mo Zining's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, as if she was thinking deeply, with a trace of indescribable nervousness.
She seemed hesitant, as if searching for the courage to speak, but could not speak.
Ye Anli looked back at her with a calm and deep look, and his silence was like a silent encouragement, giving Mo Zining the strength to break the deadlock.
We...... Let's talk about it. Mo Zining finally broke the silence, her voice trembling slightly, as if it had taken great courage.
Ye Anli nodded slowly, motioning for her to continue.
"Actually, no, I just think, isn't it a little embarrassing for us to be like this, or, let's find something to talk about, what do you think?"
Ye Anli listened to Mo Zining's slightly helpless tone, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
He gently stretched out his hand, and with warm strength, he took Mo Zining into his arms.
Mo Zining leaned obediently on his broad shoulders, her head resting lightly on his neck, and her body seemed to have found a reassuring home.
Ye Anli's hands tightly wrapped around her waist, and the feeling of warmth and stability slowly calmed down the turmoil in her heart.
The sound of his heartbeat echoed in Mo Zining's ears, rhythmic and steady, like a safe drumbeat, leading her chaotic mind to gradually calm down.
His chest was broad and solid, with a malely warm and strength, and that reassuring feeling came from his embrace like strength from his shoulders.
She closed her eyes and immersed herself in this moment, allowing herself to be surrounded by this warmth, filled with this peace.
Ye Anli's breath roamed between her hair, with a faint freshness and serenity.
"Don't you like what I said at dinner today?"
After hearing this, Mo Zining quickly raised her head and asked, "How do you know? Hey, it's actually not, it's just that I think you say that, it will make Xixi and them a little embarrassed.
Besides, I have already told you before, I want to be able to spend more time with her, she is not just a girlfriend to me, but a family member."
Ye Anli gently stroked her hair, "Okay, okay, I understand, I won't say it again in the future, but I'm afraid that you have wronged yourself."
"I won't, besides, Xixi is really good to me, really, she doesn't want me to do anything, including the luggage, she wants to take it herself, but I'm not afraid of being photographed, so I don't let it."
Ye Anli heard her say this, and heard a hint of naughty and cute taste from her tone.
He couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her on the top of the head.
North Yichen and South Xixi returned home, and the whole space was like
Shrouded in an atmosphere of silence.
Nan Xixi's expression was a little serious, which made Bei Yichen wonder, he sat next to Nan Xixi, looked at her silent face, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried about something?"
Nan Xixi lowered her head, frowned slightly, and replied softly, "I'm worried about Zining."
Bei Yichen was stunned, he had never seen Nan Xixi show such concern to anyone.
He held Nan Xixi's hand and said softly, "Why? Is it because of what happened in the background just now?"
Nan Xixi pursed her lips, and then nodded slightly, "Well, although she has contact with us, she can't be regarded as a person in this circle, and now that she is so high-profile and public, I am afraid that she will be sprayed by the Internet."
Her brow furrowed, and her eyes were full of worry. Bei Yichen listened silently, and his heart fluctuated with Nan Xixi's description.
He comforted, "Don't worry, Ye Anli won't let her get hurt."
Nan Xixi looked at Bei Yichen, twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and then said, "I know, but everyone understands the things on the Internet, Zi Ning will definitely be sprayed."
She remembered that after she made it public at that time, she was also scolded for a while, but Mo Zining would be more sensitive, and her feelings for Ye Anli were not as strong as her feelings for Bei Yichen, so it was false not to worry.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Bei Yichen's voice was soft and deep, and every word carried determination and assurance, "I will make sure that what you want does not happen."
His eyes were deep and sincere, and Nan Xixi looked at him, and the worry in his heart eased slightly.
She knew that Bei Yichen was serious, he would never promise easily, and once he promised, he would do his best to achieve it.
After Bei Yichen pacified Nanxixi, he called Ye Anli and discussed this matter with him, and after the two of them discussed, they felt that they should still endorse Mo Zining first, at least not let the media pick up her brother.
Otherwise, maybe Mo Zining would really be a little collapsed and couldn't accept it.
After hanging up the phone, Bei Yichen called Sister Guan again, and if this matter was handed over to her to do, he would feel the most at ease.
