âIf thereâs no problem, letâs eat first.â Director Chen noticed that the atmosphere between Jiang Yu and Li Yue was not right, so he quickly called for everyone to eat.
âOkay!â The group of people cheered in agreement with Director Chen and began to eat.
Jiang Yu was like her usual way of eating, she would pick up a mouthful of food whenever she saw something she wanted to eat. If she didnât want to eat, she would wait for others to finish picking up the food before turning the turntable away.
Li Yue stopped eating after a few bites and continued to watch Jiang Yu eat.
Jiang Yu noticed Li Yueâs gaze and asked as she picked up the food, âWhatâs wrong? Is there something on my face?â
âThereâs nothing.â Li Yue stared at Jiang Yu. âItâs just that from your expression, you seem very calm.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh?â Jiang Yuâs hand that was picking up the food paused and he turned to look at Li Yue. âWhat else? I canât cry and eat, right?â
Li Yue choked, after a long while, she said, âI heard that a few days ago, someone placed some scary things at the door of your room in the middle of the night. I thought you would be very afraid, but in the end, when you were filming, your expression was the same as usual. Even when you are eating now, your expression is still the same as usual.â
âThis matter has been over for a long time.â Jiang Yu continued to put food in her bowl. âI wasnât afraid at that time, how could I be afraid now? Then my reflex arc would be too long, right?â
Li Yue paused and smiled. âThatâs true. Forget it, letâs eat properly. I still have to catch up on my work later.â
Jiang Yu originally wanted to see what Li Yue wanted to do at todayâs dinner, but until the end of the dinner, Li Yue didnât do anything excessive.
But Jiang Yu didnât let down her guard.
Perhaps it was because there were more people at todayâs dinner, so Li Yue didnât dare to make a move. But just because she didnât make a move, it didnât mean that she didnât have such thoughts.
Jiang Yu still wanted to stay by Li Yueâs side to observe more, but Yuan Lai remembered sister Xiaâs instructions. As soon as they finished eating, he came over and patted Jiang Yuâs shoulder. âWeâre done eating, shall we go back?â
Jiang Yu looked at Yuan Lai and then at the few people at the dining table who were all drunk. She did not plan to stay any longer.
She stood up and said, âAlright, letâs go back.â
Yuan Lai nodded and said, âLetâs go.â
The two of them were about to leave when Xu Ye stood up and shouted, âAre you going back now? Let me send you off. Maybe itâs on the way.â
Just as Yuan Lai was about to agree, Jiang Yu immediately rejected him. âThereâs no need. Itâs not on the way.â
âAh?â Yuan Lai was a little puzzled, but when he saw Jiang Yuâs determined gaze, he didnât ask any further.
However, Xu Ye didnât give up on the idea just because of Jiang Yuâs words. Instead, he stood up and walked in front of Jiang Yu. He said with a smile, âYou have to tell me where it is before I know if itâs on the way or not.â
Jiang Yu raised her head and looked at Xu Ye. After a long time, she said, âIâve eaten too much. Iâm planning to take a walk. I donât plan to take a car back.â
âReally? Thatâs too much of a coincidence. Iâve eaten too much and Iâm also planning to take a walk. How about it? Letâs go together, Jiang Yu?â Xu Ye smiled and made up an excuse.
Jiang Yu had no solution to Xu Yeâs thick skin, so she ignored him and turned around to leave the room.
Yuan Lai quickly followed, while Xu Ye tidied his collar and followed.
Jiang Yu walked out of the hotel door and walked towards the road on the left.
Yuan Lai and Xu Ye didnât say anything and just followed behind her.
âThe three of us are walking together, donât we have a topic to talk about?â Xu Ye stretched as he walked and also started a topic.
Yuan Lai wanted to say, âI have something to talk about with you,â but Jiang Yu was walking alone in front of him, so he didnât dare to say anything.
Seeing that no one was talking to him, Xu Ye didnât feel awkward, so he started another topic. âYuan Lai, I see that youâre not young anymore. Do you have a girl that you like?â
Yuan Lai was stumped by the question. He never thought that this topic would extend to him.
âWhy arenât you talking?â Xu Ye looked at Yuan Lai with amusement. âDo you really have a girl that you like?â
âNot reallyâ¦â Yuan Lai scratched his head, blushing. âI just think that this little girl is very cute and lively when she talks. Thatâs why I have a good impression of herâ¦â
âWho is it?â Xu Yeâs curiosity was piqued. âDo you mind telling me?â
âI donât mind if I do, but Iâm not even close to that girl yet,â Yuan Lai said shyly, his voice a little soft. âBrother Xu Ye, do you think there will be a result between us?â
