Chapter 62 Dating
The next day, Ning Yi got up early to get ready.
This was their first date together, so of course they had to dress up nicely.
Ning Yi rummaged through all the clothes in her wardrobe, putting together outfits again and again.
Ning Yi checked her phone after she finished packing and was surprised to find that Ji Yan had already arrived.
She couldn't bear to keep Ji Yan waiting, so she quickly sent a message and rushed out.
The thought of going on a date with Ji Yan later filled her with excitement.
As soon as Ning Yi stepped out of the school gate, she spotted Ji Yan's car and jogged over to it.
Ji Yan, wearing a hat, got out of the car.
Seeing her jog over like that, his eyes were full of doting affection.
"Why are you running? It's so slippery outside. What if you fall?" Ji Yan said softly.
Ning Yi, standing in front of Ji Yan, took a couple of breaths and smiled, "I didn't want to keep you waiting."
Why did you get off the bus? Get on the bus quickly!
Then Ning Yi looked around and, seeing that no one was watching them, quickly urged Ji Yan to get in the car together.
Ning Yi noticed that Ji Yan was still wearing the scarf she had given him.
Ji Yan picked up a bag from the side and handed it to Ning Yi: "Are you hungry? Have something to eat."
Ning Yi took the bag, opened it, and found that it contained purple sweet potato buns, potstickers, steamed buns, and egg pancakes.
Ji Yan then picked up a box of soy milk from the side and handed it to Ning Yi.
She looked at Ji Yan in surprise and said, "You bought so much breakfast? Do you think I'm a pig?"
Have you eaten?
Ji Yan chuckled softly, "I ate a little before I left, and I bought this after I arrived at your school."
I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little extra.
Ning Yi smiled happily, took a picture, posted it on her WeChat Moments, and then started eating.
"Where are we going later?" Ning Yi asked while eating.
"Would you like to go see a movie?" Ji Yan asked, looking at her.
Ning Yi nodded: "Sure, what movie should we go see?"
"What kind of movies do you like to watch?" Ji Yan helped her put a straw into the soy milk and held it to Ning Yi's lips.
Ning Yi took a sip and then said, "I'm fine with anything. You're more professional than me, so whatever you say is good, I'll watch it."
Ji Yan glanced at his phone and then said, "There's a new movie out recently, a campus romance directed by An Yue. It should be pretty good."
"And you young girls would probably like this kind of thing, right?"
Ning Yi nodded: "Okay."
Then Ji Yan placed an order for tickets, and they set off after Ning Yi finished eating.
After they arrived at the movie theater and had their tickets checked, they went inside and found seats.
It's the weekend, so the movie theater is a little crowded.
They chose seats a little further back.
Ji Yan had asked Ning Yi if she wanted to buy some popcorn or something, but Ning Yi was already full, so she didn't buy any other food.
Ning Yi secretly glanced at Ji Yan sitting next to her and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
This was the first time they had watched a movie together.
"You're a public figure, you probably don't come to the movies often, right?" Ning Yi whispered to Ji Yan.
Ji Yan replied, "It's indeed less frequent. Before my debut, I would occasionally come to the cinema, but after my debut, I almost never do."
Ning Yi suddenly thought, before her debut?
Did she watch a movie with Qiao Jiawei?
Ning Yi couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever watched a movie with other girls before?"
Ji Yan thought for a moment: "Yes."
As expected, Ning Yi was genuinely unhappy.
"But there were four or five of us together, three men and two women."
“A new comedy movie came out at that time, and they said they wanted to go see it together,” Ji Yan replied.
Okay, it wasn't just one person, I forgive you.
“I’ve booked a restaurant. We’ll go eat after we finish watching the movie if you’re hungry. If you’re not hungry, we can go for a walk for a while,” Ji Yan said, turning to Ning Yi.
The movie hadn't started yet, so the lights were on, and he noticed that Ning Yi looked very beautiful today.
“Okay, I probably won’t be very hungry then. Where shall we go for a stroll?” Ning Yi nodded.
She noticed Ji Yan staring at her, and lowered her head shyly, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that..."
Ji Yan raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's cold outside, so let's not go outdoors. There's an exhibition hall over on Xinjie Street, would you like to go check it out?"
"Sure, but won't it be inconvenient for you?" Ning Yi said with some concern.
Ji Yan shook her head: "Wearing a mask is fine. It's more convenient to go out in winter since everyone is covered up."
The movie started shortly afterward.
As Ji Yan watched, he couldn't help but glance at Ning Yi sitting beside him and noticed that she was watching very intently.
……
They left after the movie ended and most of the others had left.
"I think it looks pretty good. I'm suddenly so glad that I'm still young and in the prime of my life," Ning Yi said with a smile as she stood shoulder to shoulder with Ji Yan again.
Ji Yan looked at her and then smiled: "Yes, so you should really enjoy the present moment."
Afterwards, Ji Yan drove Ning Yi to the exhibition hall.
After they entered the exhibition hall, Ji Yan asked, "Have you been here with your classmates before?"
Ning Yi shook her head: "No."
"This exhibition hall has been open here for quite a while, but there are far fewer people here than before," Ji Yan said as he walked.
As they walked, Ning Yi secretly glanced at Ji Yan, then looked at his hand, wondering why he wasn't holding hers.
Ning Yi deliberately walked closer to him, pretending that her hand would accidentally touch his hand from time to time.
Then they pretended to be unaware.
As they strolled along, Ning Yi couldn't help but think to herself, "Is Ji Yan a blockhead? Doesn't he know that you should hold a girl's hand in the dead of winter?"
She found that Ji Yan remained unmoved, and she felt a little angry.
Seeing a very exquisite statue ahead, Ning Yi couldn't help but walk up and exclaim, "I've seen pictures of it online, but I never expected to see it so lifelike in person!"
Ji Yan looked at Ning Yi, who was leaning against the display case, and a tenderness appeared in his eyes.
He slowly took a delicate little box from his pocket, stepped forward, and said, "Xiao Yi."
Ning Yi turned her head: "What's wrong?"
Ji Yan picked up the box, opened it, and handed it to Ning Yi: "A gift for you."
Ning Yi looked at the necklace in the box with some surprise, then looked at him: "Why did you suddenly give me a necklace?"
"Could it be to return the favor?"
Ji Yan smiled and took out the necklace, saying, "Of course not, I just think it looks good and suits you, so I bought it."
"Try?"
Ning Yi nodded happily: "Okay."
Then Ji Yan picked up the necklace and put it on Ning Yi.
Ning Yi lowered her head and touched the necklace, looking at the sparkling white swan pendant in her hand.
"Do you like it?" Ji Yan asked.
Ning Yi nodded, a happy look on her face: "Of course I like it, it's very beautiful."
