Chapter 78 Birthday Gifts and Hugs

After reading the comments online, Jin Qixuan sent Jin Yarong a birthday greeting and a red envelope at exactly ten o'clock.

Kim Ki-hyeon thought Kim Ah-young was similar to Lee Ji-eun and would be busier on her birthday than usual.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

She ran three notices during the day, and in the evening, the company arranged for her to hold a live birthday party.

However, since the time of her birthday party live broadcast conflicted with the broadcast time of "Reply 1988", the number of viewers was not too large, less than , resulting in the revenue not reaching the company's expectations.

But despite this, it did not affect her joy when she received Jin Qixuan's blessing text message.

After everything was over, Jin Yarong sent Jin Qixuan a beautiful selfie and said that she was very happy to receive his blessings.

Jin Qixuan: [It's so beautiful. I'll ask Huili to bring it to you as your birthday present tomorrow.]

Jin Yarong looked at the time, thought for a moment, and replied:
[But, I am looking forward to your gift now. ]

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan scratched his head and asked tentatively:
[Is it convenient for you now? I can send it to you?]

【certainly. 】

Originally, Jin Yarong wanted to meet Jin Qixuan in a coffee shop.

The two of them were holding hot coffee and gazing at each other affectionately, with pink heart bubbles floating around them. The picture made Kim Ya-young intoxicated just by thinking about it.

But even as she was typing, in the Girls Day group, Lee Hye-ri kept urging her to come back quickly because she was hungry.

Helplessly, the meeting place could only be set near their residence.

After learning the location, Jin Qixuan immediately got up, got dressed and went home.

Seeing Jin Qixuan's anxious look, Jin Shaoqi asked:
"Where are you going? Why are you going back so late? Why don't you just stay here?"

"Ah, no, I'm back at school, I have early classes tomorrow!"

After saying that, Jin Qixuan waved goodbye, pushed the door open and left.

"Ok?"

Jin Shaoyi looked at Jin Qixuan's departing back with a puzzled look, always feeling that something was wrong with him.

The gift that Jin Qixuan prepared for Jin Yarong was a 10-pound bowling ball from the STORM brand Starry Sky series.

He found out this from Lee Hye-ri that Kim Ya-young likes to collect all kinds of nice-looking bowling balls.

I don’t know whether Jin Yarong likes this starry sky pattern, but Jin Qixuan liked it at first sight and bought it.

After returning home to pick up the gift, Jin Qixuan took a taxi to the location Jin Yarong sent.

Fortunately, there was not much traffic at night and everyone seemed to be watching 1988 at home. In less than 20 minutes, Jin Qixuan arrived at the designated location.

Jin Qixuan found Jin Yarong's car according to the license plate number sent by her and knocked on the window.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Jin Yarong's sweet smile:
"Good evening~"

Seeing Jin Yarong's lovely smile, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but smile as well:

"Good evening, happy birthday~"

After saying that, Jin Qixuan opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and handed over the gift.

"Well, it's quite heavy."

After receiving the gift, Jin Yarong opened the gift box and tore off the protective film, and saw the bowling ball with starry sky colors graffiti inside. Her eyes instantly flashed with light.

"Wow! So beautiful."

"Like it?"

"Hmm~"

Jin Yarong turned her head and looked at Jin Qixuan, and a smile as bright as a flower quickly spread across her face.

When it reached the tips of the eyebrows, the smile gradually faded, the corners of the mouth slightly turned up, and the dimples at the corners of the lips were filled with a lingering sweetness.

Jin Qixuan's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly looked away, not daring to look her in the face.

At this moment, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew into his arms, and two thin arms gently embraced Jin Qixuan's neck.

Then, I heard her whisper:

"I like this gift very much, thank you."

As she spoke, the heat from her light breathing lingered around Jin Qixuan's neck, making him feel itchy.

As the scent of Jin Yarong filled his breath, Jin Qixuan's stiff body slowly relaxed and his rapidly beating heart rate gradually stabilized.

Then, Jin Qixuan slowly rested his chin on the crook of her neck, comfortably enjoying the warmth she brought.

In an instant, it was as if the whole world had gone silent. After a long while, just when Jin Qixuan was about to try to reach out and hug her waist, a magical cell phone ringtone sounded, freezing his movements.

Tsk...what a pity!
Hearing the phone ringing, Jin Yarong sighed lightly, let go of Jin Qixuan, glanced at the notification, gave Jin Qixuan an apologetic smile, and answered the call.

"Huili, what's wrong?"

"Ouni, why don't you go upstairs!!!"

"Ah... got it. I'll be back soon."

Seeing that she hung up the phone, Jin Qixuan took the initiative to say goodbye:

"Then go up and don't keep them waiting."

The atmosphere that had just been adjusted was interrupted by the phone call. Jin Yarong was a little unwilling, so he asked:
"It's so late, how about I take you home?"

Jin Qixuan was a little tempted when he heard this, but in the end reason prevailed over everything and he said:
"It's too late for you to drive. Go ahead. I'm not far away."

"OK then……"

When they parted, they waved goodbye, because there was no reason or excuse to hug each other.

Because of this, Lee Hye-ri was beaten badly by Kim Ah-young at night...

When he got up the next day, Jin Qixuan saw the premiere ratings sent in the crew group.

The national average viewership was 6.118%; the highest viewership was 8.54%; and the online viewership was 61.2%.

After reading this message, Jin Qixuan felt like he was struck by lightning.

it's over...

Originally, Jin Qixuan wanted to play dead, but Li Huili specifically tagged the three of them in the group.

As a last resort, Jin Qixuan could only post a message and follow the post above with a scattering flowers emoji.

Not long after the message was sent, director Shin Won-ho called Kim Ki-hyeon to come to the crew to shoot a commercial.

This type of advertisement does not seem to be inserted into an already filmed movie, but rather adds actors' situational drama between the next and next episodes and at the end of an episode.

The plot was also discussed between the financiers, the director and the screenwriter. It not only had to include the scenes in the play, but also had to be interesting and not rigid.

The advertised product distributed to Jin Qixuan's families is Cuckoo's rice cooker.

Deshan's family has medicine, and Guhuan's family has television.

Park Bo Gum and Lee Dong Hwi co-starred in commercials for razors and fried chicken.

When Kim Ki-hyeon arrived at the crew, screenwriter Lee Yoo-jung and director Shin Won-ho explained the plot to the three of them.

After the communication, Jin Qixuan began to memorize the lines and was ready for filming half an hour later.

According to the scenario in the drama, Kim Sun-young put too little water in the pot when cooking rice, causing the rice to be dry and hard.

Jin Shanying took a bite, spit it out, and said helplessly: "What should I do..."

Then, Pearl's voice crying out for hunger was heard from the living room.

Just when Jin Shanying was at a loss, Jin Qixuan appeared with a smile holding the Cuckoo rice cooker and introduced it:

"Mom, let's try this."

The camera then gave a close-up of the rice cooker, and the background sound was Kim Ki-hyun introducing Kim Sun-young to the various convenient functions of the rice cooker, such as the lazy one-button cooking.

After the introduction, Kim Sun-young cooked a pot of rice according to the instructions.

After it was cooked, the camera gave a close-up of the steaming rice, and then Kim Sun-young asked Zhenzhu to taste it.

Pearl took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she praised in a baby voice: "Delicious!"

Then Kim Sun-young and Kim Ki-hyeon took a bite each and instantly smiled with satisfaction.

Finally, the three people's laughter and joy gradually faded, and a picture of the new Cuckoo phone and the slogan appeared on the screen:
"Every grain is fragrant, delicate and beautiful. One machine can be used for multiple purposes, and you can enjoy delicious food."

The filming time for this commercial was not long, and it was completed in less than two hours.

When the filming was over and he walked out of the set, Kim Ki-hyeon was met with Lee Hye-ri's smiling face.

What is coming will come, and you can’t avoid it.

Helpless, Jin Qixuan walked over and greeted:

"good afternoon."

"Are you willing to accept defeat?"

"Clothes……"
