Ting Jiu leaned over and whispered to her, âl really didnât do it on purpose. I didnât even know who made that bowl. I was just making casual commentary and critique, I didnât mean to target her.â
Ting Jiu couldnât tell the twins apart, but he could distinguish Liao Jiayan from Liao Jiake through their clothing.
Just now, Ting Jiu was standing beside the blue-clothed sister when he helped them settle the beef noodles issue. Now, because of that ceramic bowl, he had offended the white-clothed sister again.
Meng Chuyuan said, âWhy are you thinking so much? Sheâs seven or eight years older than you. Sheâs very mature and not that petty.â
[Sister Meng is just there to watch the show. Hahahaha, but Sister Meng is right. Why are you thinking so much?]
[Sister Mengs mentality is really good.]
[Learn how to speak from Sister Meng. School is in session, guys.]
[Little Jiu Jiu is panicking. I can tell that this unlucky child is afraid of being misunderstood. Hahaha.]
[Little Jiu Jiu was the one who resolved the conflict between those two sisters.
My Little Jiu Jiu is the best.]
Ting Jiu rarely offended people with his words. Even when he encountered strange passers-by in games, while he tended to speak more agitatedly, he still would not deliberately say nasty words to attack them.
Moreover, he was criticizing a girl just now. He felt extremely guilty.
He didnât even dare to look at Liao Jiake or raise his head.
When everyone received their works and were about to leave the pottery hall, Ting Jiu came to Liao Jiayanâs side and said uneasily, âSister, my words were very unpleasant just now. Do you think sheâll be angry?â
Liao Jiayan smiled knowingly. âNo.â
âReally?â Ting Jiu was a little at a loss, and the worry on his face had not eased at all.
He had no intention of targeting Liao Jiake. He was afraid that she would misunderstand and think that he was taking sides, deliberately saying harsh words to mock her.
Seeing how nervous he was, Liao Jiayan found it funny. âDonât worry, what you said was the truth. Even if sheâs angry, she canât do anything to you.â
She was the one who should be angry.
Liao Jiake had stolen her identity for so long, disguising a part of her life as her own. Even now, she was unwilling to stop when she had the chance. Perhaps because he was comforted by Liao Jiayanâs words, Ting Jiu gradually relaxed. âThatâs trueâ¦
He lowered his eyes and stared at the vase in Liao Jiayanâs hand. Seeing that there was no one else around, he whispered to Liao Jiayan, âSisterâs vase looks better. Itâs the same as the one we bought in the shop.â
âIf you like it, Iâll give this to you.â Liao Jiayan saw the fondness in his eyes and generously handed him the vase in her hand. âTake it. I have a lot at home. I donât need this one.â
Ting Jiu hesitated for a moment before finally accepting her vase. âThank you, Sister.â
The other guests had already left the pottery hall. Only Ting Jiu and Liao Jiayan were still chatting inside.
The director happened to be bidding farewell to the boss of the pottery shop at the entrance. Seeing that Ting Jiu and Liao Jiayan were still dawdling inside, he suddenly interrupted their conversation. âWhat are you two talking about?
Itâs time to go back.â
Hearing the directorâs urging, the two of them walked out together.
Ting Jiu came to the directors side and pointed at Liao Jiayan. Then, he said considerately to him, âDirector, this sister hasnât eaten. Can you send her a bento box later?â
Whether it was because she was angry with Liao Jiake, or because she really didnât want to eat the beef noodles, Ting Jiu felt that she had to at least eat something tonight to fill up her stomach.
He knew that the production team would distribute lunch boxes later, so he mentioned it to the director.
Just as Liao Jiayan was about to say no, the director nodded and agreed readily. âOkay.â
Ting Jiu: âThank you, Director.â
In the evening, the clouds on the horizon were ever-changing. Rays of sunset were hidden behind the clouds as night gradually fell.
Seeing that Ting Jiu was carrying a vase when he came out of the pottery hall, Lu Jinsen asked in confusion, âWhere did the vase in your hand come from? Donât tell me itâs from the bossâs shop?â
Looking at the smooth body of the vase and the beautiful patterns on it, one could tell that the workmanship was very exquisite, making one want to have it just by looking at it.
Ting Jiu hugged the vase tightly, afraid that it would break. He puffed out his chest slightly and said proudly, âThis was given to me by the sister in blue.â Lu Jinsen asked curiously, âWhy did she give it to you?â [What?! Who gave this to him? What did 1 missâ¦]
[Lu Jinsen, oh Lu Jinsen, youâre getting a little nosy. Hahahaha.]
[This vase is really beautiful. If Young Master didnât ask just now, I would really think that Ting Jiu bought it with his own money.]
[Isnât Liao Jiayan the one in blue? Hahahaha, Little Jiu, are you okay? You received a gift from her and yet you donât even know her name.]
[l suddenly realized that Liao Jiayan and Ting Jiu are quite a good pair.]
The live- stream ended at dusk. As everyone walked down the street to head back home, the silhouettes of a few guests gradually faded out of view.
As there were no activities at night, there was no need for them to film dinner as well, hence this live-stream ended two hours earlier.
Not long after she went back, Liao Jiayan really received a bento box from the staff. âTeacher Liao, this is your dinner.â
âThank you.â
After the staff left, Liao Jiayan sat alone in the courtyard, eating the lunch box.
Liao Jiake came out after removing her makeup, and the moment she saw her sister eating, she suddenly felt that the situation was a little ironic.
She had shouted at her just now saying that she didnât want to eat, but in the end she still ended up eating.
Liao Jiake came out of the house and walked straight to Liao Jiayan. Then, she sat down opposite her.
Liao Jiayan sensed that someone was sitting opposite her, but she ignored Liao Jiakeâs presence.
Before long, Liao Jiayan was full.
She packed up the lunch box and got up to throw it away. Liao Jiake, who had been sitting in front of her for a long time, suddenly said, âCan you explain why you told everyone this afternoon that you donât eat beef noodles?â
âWhy?â Liao Jiayan frowned slightly and said coldly, âYou can lie to others, but I canât?â
That was something she had unintentionally said in a fit of anger, and everyone happened to take it seriously.
However, Liao Jiayan didnât want to explain this to her because it ended up producing a rather good effect. She also saw that Liao Jiake was really anxious.
âWhatâs the point in doing that?â
Liao Jiayan sneered. âItâs pointless, so thereâs no need for you to be so anxiousâ
Meng Chuyuan did not return to her residence directly. Instead, she followed
Lu Jinsen and Ting Jiu to their place,
The live- stream ended early. Without her phone, she wouldnât know what to do even if she went back home. Moreover, the siblings lived with her, so they would just each go back to their own rooms.
After leaving the sight of the public cameras, Ting Jiu finally released his emotions. âIâm leaving this lousy variety show tomorrow. Iâm so happy.â
One had to know, it was really not easy for Ting Jiu- having been subjected to Qi Yanâs temperament for two days, even somehow becoming involved in the conflict between the Liao sisters.
Meng Chuyuan said, âIâm happy for you too..â
