Chapter 57: Dating Meng Ziyi, pure Sister Meng!
Zhou Jin can only change the subject and tell some gossip about the entertainment industry, and Bai Lu is satisfied.
The three of them eat for a while, and Zhou Jin looks at Meng Ziyi and Bai Lu and asks: "Do you have any audition opportunities recently?"
Bai Lu shakes her head disappointedly, while Meng Ziyi says boastfully: "A show found me recently, asking me to participate."
"What show?"
"'God of War Zhao Zilong', the lead is Lin Gengxin, it should start filming at the end of the year."
Zhou Jin is a bit surprised; it seems that although Meng Ziyi's world line has changed, she was still chosen by the crew of "God of War Zhao Zilong".
Zhou Jin looks at the disappointed Bai Lu and comforts her: "It's okay, after 'Nirvana in Fire' airs, I think many people will come to you."
Bai Lu nods with a smile.
Meng Ziyi looks at Bai Lu and then at Zhou Jin, feeling that the relationship between the two seems much closer than before. Could it be that something happened between them that she doesn't know about after she left Hengdian?
But Meng Ziyi doesn't care about this soon. She has always been confident in herself and is still thinking about how to find an opportunity to go on a date alone with Zhou Jin.
"Zhou Jin, do you have time tomorrow?"
"Yes."
Meng Ziyi's eyes light up and she says: "Bai Lu has a performance class tomorrow, and I happen to be free. Can we go out and play together?"
Zhou Jin didn't expect Meng Ziyi to be so direct, and in front of Bai Lu.
He is just about to speak when he suddenly feels his leg kicked lightly under the table.
Zhou Jin is a bit helpless; why do these women, one after another, like to do little things under the table?
But thinking of Bai Lu's "hot" nature, he feels relieved.
Zhou Jin responds with a smile without changing his expression: "Of course."
Meng Ziyi is a bit excited: "Great!"
Meng Ziyi then hugs Bai Lu's arm and says apologetically: "Meng Yan, after your performance class is over, the three of us will go shopping in Yanjing together."
Bai Lu nods lightly.
"Meng Yan, you are so good." Meng Ziyi says happily.
In private, Meng Ziyi has said many times that she likes Zhou Jin and wants to pursue him. And Bai Lu not only didn't express her feelings but occasionally encouraged Meng Ziyi to pursue him boldly.
But Bai Lu, in places Meng Ziyi couldn't see, was seducing Zhou Jin.
The simple Meng Ziyi doesn't know this.
The next morning.
"Knock knock knock."
Zhou Jin is still struggling between dream and wakefulness when the knocking sounds crisp and clear.
He fumbles for his phone and squints—it's just past eight.
He yawns and opens the door, still looking sleepy.
But the Meng Ziyi standing at the door is a completely different sight.
She has already changed into carefully selected clothes, her face is full of exquisite makeup, her eyelashes are curled, her lip color is bright, and even the lazy arc of her hair is intentional.
She is like being plated with a layer of soft focus by the morning light, bright enough to make people dizzy.
Changing clothes plus full makeup, for a girl, takes at least an hour or two.
That is to say, she got up after six o'clock.
"Zhou Jin, my makeup is done." Her eyes curve, and her tone hides an irrepressible excitement, "Just blow-dry my hair and we can go on our date. You have to be quick too."
Zhou Jin never expected this girl to be so excited, getting up so early and dressing so solemnly.
All the heavy expectations are written on that overly beautiful face.
He yawns again, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously bring out a smile: "Alright, you go blow-dry your hair, I'll go wash up."
A few minutes later, Zhou Jin, who has simply brushed his teeth and washed his face, comes to the entrance to put on his shoes.
He shouts to Meng Ziyi, who is blow-drying her hair in the bathroom: "Are you done? We're leaving."
Meng Ziyi walks out of the bathroom with a hairdryer in one hand, staring at Zhou Jin in a daze.
"Are you Superman? How are you so fast? I haven't even finished blow-drying my hair."
Meng Ziyi is afraid Zhou Jin will be anxious, so she immediately shouts: "Coming!"
Zhou Jin waits for a while, and Meng Ziyi rushes out of the bathroom in a hurry.
"Zhou Jin, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go visit your school first."
Meng Ziyi's eyes light up: "Okay."
The two take a taxi to Meng Ziyi's school.
On campus, Meng Ziyi walks while quietly shortening the distance inch by inch, introducing things enthusiastically—which building had what interesting things, which corner hid what jokes.
And under the cover of these trivial words, she quietly reached out and took Zhou Jin's arm.
The movement was very light, as if afraid of startling something.
Zhou Jin looks down at this silly girl, says nothing, just smiles lightly, and doesn't pull his hand back.
Just this one move.
Meng Ziyi's heart, which was hanging in her throat and almost jumping out, finally landed.
"Hehe."
Sister Meng's mouth immediately curls up.
Zhou Jin looks at the happy Meng Ziyi; Meng Ziyi and Bai Lu, who are of similar age, have personalities like water and fire.
Meng Ziyi just takes his arm, and her heartbeat is so fast it almost jumps out of her throat.
And Bai Lu not only dares to kiss him proactively without caring about anything, but even dares to do those things that make people's ears burn when they think about it in the cinema, under the cover of a coat.
The hot Bai Lu is good, and Sister Meng, who is pure to the bone and has to beat drums in her heart for half a day just to hold hands, doesn't seem bad either.
Zhou Jin has spent all his time on the set recently, and it's rare to have such a loose and leisurely day, so he follows his temper and accompanies Meng Ziyi to go shopping, stroll around, and kill time.
After a day, the raw feeling between the two quietly faded away, and talking, walking, and looking at each other slowly became familiar and natural.
Walking home at night, the street lights pull the two people's shadows very long, overlapping and separating from time to time.
Meng Ziyi's hand swings back and forth by his side, the amplitude is not big or small, as if it were an inadvertent sway.
A few times, she secretly gathered her courage, her fingertips quietly leaned toward Zhou Jin's hand, and just as they were about to touch—in the end, she shrank back.
Zhou Jin takes it all in, looking at the shy Meng Ziyi with interest.
Returning to the rental house, Bai Lu is sitting in the living room. Meng Ziyi sees her and leans over shyly.
Zhou Jin nods to Bai Lu and returns directly to his room.
Bai Lu looks at Meng Ziyi and raises an eyebrow: "How is it? Any progress today?"
Meng Ziyi's face turns red instantly, and she stammers for a long time without saying a word. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
