Chapter 478 - Deliberately

After the incident that day, Jiang Yu didn’t take Xu Ye and Li Lu’s matter to heart.

But someone seemed to be pestering her.

Jiang Yu was practicing her dance when a message popped up on her phone, adding her as a friend. The note said: “I’m Xu Ye. I want to ask you about the dance competition.”

Jiang Yu looked at the message for a long time. She didn’t click “Agree” or “Reject”.

Jiang Yu gave Sister Xia a call and asked about it.

Sister Xia was silent for a while before she asked, “Are you sure it’s Xu Ye?”

Jiang Yu replied, “It’s him.”

Sister Xia thought for a long time and didn’t know why Xu Ye wanted to add Jiang Yu as a friend.

“You agreed first, right?” Sister Xia said, “After all, he’s a new Movie King. It’ll be easier for you in the future.”

Jiang Yu actually didn’t want to agree to it. However, he was in the same industry as her. On the one hand, he was a competitor in her dance competition. On the other hand, Jiang Yu had no choice but to agree.

“Alright.” Jiang Yu sighed. “It looks like this industry is really quite difficult.”

Jiang Yu hung up on sister Xia and agreed to Xu Ye’s friend request.

Xu Ye quickly sent a message. “Is your foot okay?”

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and replied, “Yes, thank you for your concern.”

Xu Ye sent a gratified expression and said, “It’s alright. It’s what I should do.”

Jiang Yu really wanted to ask him why this was something that he should do? But no matter what, he was being kind, so Jiang Yu would not let him lose face. She said, “Thank you. I feel really bad for letting you fight with Li Lu because of me.”

Xu Ye said generously, “I’m not that close to Li Lu anyway, so wjatever. But if you really feel bad, then you can treat me to a meal?”

Jiang Yu really wanted to reply him with a bunch of question marks. She wanted to say that she was just being polite, but why did he take it seriously?

Jiang Yu was silent for a while and then said, “We’re competitors, so it’s not appropriate for me to treat you to a meal, right?”

Xu Ye immediately sent a voice message over. “Jiang Yu, aren’t you being a little too cautious? We are just friends having a meal together. How can it not be good?”

When he said this, his tone was still filled with a smile, as if this was just a very ordinary small matter and Jiang Yu had no reason to reject it.

The purpose of him talking to Jiang Yu was a little deliberate. He gave a lame reason to ask Jiang Yu to treat him to a meal.

He was full of confidence and felt that his tone was very relaxed. Jiang Yu had no reason to reject him.

However, Jiang Yu rejected him directly. “We’re still rivals for the time being, so it’s not good for us to go out for a meal together. Moreover, I’m not that close with Movie King Xu, so there’s no need for us to go out for a meal together.”

Xu Ye did not expect to be rejected, but it did not affect him much.

He still spoke in a gentle tone, “What you said makes sense. However, I am still worried about your foot. Since it has recovered, there is no problem. I hope to see your outstanding performance on the stage next time.”

Jiang Yu replied politely, “Thank you for your concern. I will work hard for the semi-finals, but don’t let your guard down.”

Xu Ye smiled and asked again, “Are you encouraging me?”

“...” Jiang Yu replied, “You can think so too.”

Xu Ye laughed out loud, hoping that Jiang Yu would continue to say something to him.

However, Jiang Yu had already logged out of the chat and did not intend to talk to Xu Ye anymore.
