"Good morning, Sister Jiang Li."
Facing Qin Yaoyao's sweet smile, Jiang Li still had a deadpan expression: "Wasn't it eight o'clock?"
There wasn't much of a change in her tone, but you could still hear the blame.
Qin Yaoyao's voice was soft, her big watery eyes full of apology: "Sorry, Sister Jiang Li."
"I got up late this morning, and makeup took a little extra time." She stuck out her tongue, turning to look at Xiao Yanzhi in the driver's seat: "But A Yan said it's a noon flight, so it's okay to be a little late."
Her words were full of arrogance from being doted on.
When she said this, Qin Yaoyao took a good look at Jiang Li.
For convenience of the business trip, Jiang Li's face was bare, her features more serene without makeup, a bit less gorgeous than usual, and a bit more innocent.
At a glance, she even looked a few years younger than Qin Yaoyao.
This innate beauty and grace was something Qin Yaoyao could never catch up to.
Qin Yaoyao couldn't help being jealous, but she quickly suppressed it.
Xiao Yanzhi's hands hung on the steering wheel, his eyes cold as he looked at her: "Not getting in the car yet? Delaying time on purpose?"
Qin Yaoyao had wasted an hour on makeup, and that wasn't delaying time, but now that she had stood there for a moment, it was delaying time.
Jiang Li was silent for a long while.
In the end, she still held back her emotions, putting her suitcase in the trunk alone, then walking around to the car.
It took more than an hour to get to the airport.
Along the way, Qin Yaoyao's laughter and chatter constantly came from the front, Jiang Li found it very noisy, and took out her Bluetooth headphones.
She didn't like the smell in the car either. Qin Yaoyao had sprayed on too much sweet floral perfume, it was choking her and giving her a headache.
She leaned against the window, wanting to open a crack to let in some air, but found that the window was locked.
"Xiao Yanzhi, I want some fresh air." Jiang Li took off one earphone.
The man in the front seat had a calm expression, his eyes lowered as he was about to unlock the window, when Qin Yaoyao in the passenger seat suddenly spoke up: "Don't open it, the wind outside is very strong."
"Sister Jiang Li, I've caught a cold recently." Her eyes drooped, her voice a bit sad: "I don't want to blow the cold wind."
Xiao Yanzhi's finger was on the lock button, pausing for two seconds, his voice low, finally saying: "Jiang Li, don't keep causing me trouble."
Jiang Li lowered her eyes.
She just wanted to open a crack to let in some air, how was that causing trouble?
For a moment, she was so angry that her chest was tight, silently putting the earphone back on, turning the volume up to the maximum.
Only this way could she barely escape from her irritable mood.
By the time they reached the airport, Jiang Li finally couldn't hold back the churning in her stomach and the dizziness, and after getting off the car, she vomited into a trash can beside her.
Qin Yaoyao frowned and covered her nose: "Sister Jiang Li, why didn't you say earlier that you get carsick?"
Jiang Li got up, took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe her mouth, her voice a bit hoarse: "I don't get carsick, I get sick from the smell."
She couldn't stand this kind of overly obvious sweet floral perfume, if it was just for a short time she could endure it, but if she smelled it for a long time, she would feel nauseous and get a headache.
Especially in a closed environment, and Xiao Yanzhi had just refused to let her open the window.
Hearing this, Qin Yaoyao's expression suddenly changed.
She was the only one who had sprayed perfume in the car, who else could she be talking about?
Xiao Yanzhi parked the car and came over, holding two bottles of water in his hands, opening the lid of one bottle and handing it to Qin Yaoyao, the other bottle he just casually stuffed into Jiang Li's hands.
"Fastidious." He spat out indifferently: "Without the life of a princess, but with a princess complex."
"A Yan, don't talk to Sister Jiang Li like that." Qin Yaoyao helped to persuade, but there was obvious glee in her eyes.
Jiang Li tightened her hand around the mineral water bottle.
But soon, she let it go.
When she had agreed to Xiao Yanzhi, she had already expected that this trip wouldn't be smooth.
The only thing she could do was endure.
If you can't endure the little things, you can't achieve great things.
——
After boarding the plane, to avoid any more arguments with them, Jiang Li put on her sunglasses, asked the flight attendant for a blanket, and closed her eyes to catch up on sleep.
From years of running to filming sets and filming, her rest time was always squeezed out of her teeth, Jiang Li had long since trained herself to be able to fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Even if Qin Yaoyao and Xiao Yanzhi were having a ruckus over there, they wouldn't be able to wake her up.
Qin Yaoyao noticed Jiang Li sleeping out of the corner of her eye, and deliberately raised her voice: "A Yan, I'm a little sleepy, can you hug me to sleep?"
As she said that, she deliberately squeezed towards Xiao Yanzhi.
Xiao Yanzhi's eyes drifted towards where Jiang Li was sitting, she was wearing sunglasses and he couldn't see her eyes, he didn't know if she was really sleeping or faking it.
He said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll hug you."
The two of them were sweet here, no one was disturbing Jiang Li, and she was sleeping soundly over there.
By the time the plane landed, the huge noise made Jiang Li's eardrums throb, and only then did she groggily take off her sunglasses, blankly looking out the window.
Flower City had arrived.
She politely folded the blanket, giving it back to the flight attendant before sitting up straight, simply moving her muscles and bones, turning her neck.
After sleeping, she felt much more energetic.
Qin Yaoyao called out to her, concerned: "Sister Jiang Li, how long did you sleep for? I don't think you got up once."
Jiang Li took a look at her watch.
"I fell asleep as soon as I got on the plane, sleeping till now."
As soon as she finished answering, Xiao Yanzhi's expression darkened: "Sleeping like a pig."
Jiang Li was still a little groggy after waking up, staring blankly at Xiao Yanzhi.
She had been sleeping the whole time, not saying a word to disturb them, why was Xiao Yanzhi inexplicably angry?
Psychopath.
After getting off the plane, the three of them took a taxi to the hotel.
Qin Yaoyao hugged Xiao Yanzhi, looking sweet and petite, desperately winking at the receptionist.
From working as a hotel receptionist for a long time, the receptionist was naturally perceptive, immediately understanding: "Sir, two rooms, right?"
One for Xiao Yanzhi and Qin Yaoyao, and one for Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was behind them, sitting on her suitcase, looking down at her phone and sending a message, not caring how many rooms they were opening at all.
Anyway, Xiao Yanzhi wouldn't be in the same room as her.
Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips tightly, turning his head to look at Jiang Li, his expression becoming colder.
"Three rooms."
Hearing that Xiao Yanzhi was opening three rooms, Qin Yaoyao was flustered, pitifully tugging on his shirt: "A Yan, aren't we staying in the same room? I don't want to stay alone."
She had deliberately created so many coincidences, but Xiao Yanzhi had always rejected her, never once sleeping with her.
He had never even spent the night at her place.
And this time, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Qin Yaoyao didn't want to miss it.
Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head, using his big hand to ruffle her hair, his voice gentle: "Be good, you're still young, it's not convenient for you to stay with a man."
