"Hello?"
"It's me."
"Brother Luo Sheng? Is something the matter?" Yu Nian struggled to get up from the table, twisting her neck which was sore from lying down, her voice hoarse.
"Did you just wake up?"
"Hmm. What's up?" It felt like a long time had passed; she no longer felt any surprise or anticipation for his call.
"It's been a long time. Let's go out for dinner together tonight."
Yu Nian looked up at the clock and realized it was already past six o'clock. She hadn't expected to have been writing for so long. She touched her stomach, which was almost rumbling with hunger, and agreed without much thought.
"Okay, where should we eat?"
"Come downstairs, I'll be waiting for you there."
After Luo Sheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Yu Nian got up, put on a coat, picked up a pen from the table, casually tied her hair up, and went out without even putting on makeup.
Since graduating from high school, Luo Sheng had rarely seen Yu Nian without makeup. Due to work commitments and their busy schedules after her comeback, they could only meet a handful of times. However, upon seeing Yu Nian coming downstairs today without any makeup, a barely perceptible hint of amazement flashed in Luo Sheng's eyes.
She has a great figure, and even an oversized wool coat looks unique on her.
Yu Nian quickly got into Luo Sheng's car. She was about to open the passenger door when she remembered that Luo Sheng had a girlfriend, so she reached out and opened the back door instead.
"When did you start being so polite with me? Aren't you going to sit in the front of the car today?"
Yu Nian had just sat down in her seat when she glanced at Luo Sheng, who was looking at her through the rearview mirror, and asked with some confusion.
"Isn't it said that only a man's girlfriend can sit in the passenger seat? I'd better not sit in Baijiu's sister-in-law's seat."
Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng's deep eyes sharpened instantly, fixing firmly on Yu Nian, before he slowly uttered the words.
"You're quite clear about the distinction now."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Luo Sheng was startled by his own obviously cold voice. Even though what she said was not wrong, he still minded that she kept such a clear distinction between herself and him. He realized that he was being too harsh.
Yu Nian found it boring. Although she could tell he was unhappy, she was too lazy to explain, especially since there was nothing to explain about such a trivial matter.
However, she wasn't oblivious to people's moods. Since that was the case, she decided to talk about liquor; that should cheer her up.
"Any news about your girlfriend lately? Isn't she planning to return to China yet?"
Sure enough, upon hearing the name of his girlfriend, Baijiu, Yu Nian clearly saw in the mirror that Luo Sheng's previously furrowed brows relaxed considerably.
The power of the white moonlight is indeed strong; even childhood sweethearts are no match for a sudden, unexpected arrival.
"There's been no news. She seems to be doing quite well. I don't know when she'll be back."
Yu Nian, who thought she had successfully changed the subject, did not expect to receive such a reply. However, Luo Sheng would only show a pitiful puppy look when talking about liquor.
Having said that, Yu Nian didn't want to ask any more questions about the liquor, and simply said, "I'll help find someone to contact the liquor company," to brush it off.
The car fell silent after the conversation ended, but thankfully, they arrived at Luo Shengding's restaurant soon.
The two walked together into Private Room No. 1 of Yuwanting Restaurant. She had thought Luo Sheng would take her somewhere to eat, but it turned out to be a restaurant owned by the Luo family.
The two sat down facing each other, but the food hadn't been served yet, and the silence was a little awkward.
Yu Nian couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly ask me to have dinner today?"
As soon as Yu Nian finished speaking, the dishes were served. Wow, they looked delicious, and her stomach started growling uncontrollably.
Seeing Yu Nian's appearance, Luo Sheng knew that she must have forgotten to eat again because of work.
"Let's eat first, you look so hungry."
The food was devoured in no time by the starving Yu Nianxuan. Luo Sheng was also shocked by her eating speed; he had only eaten half a bowl of rice, while she had almost finished all the dishes on the table.
She doesn't seem to have any idol baggage in front of him now.
He watched quietly as she finished the last bite of food before asking her a question.
"You went to see Teacher Su Yun last week? How is she? Why didn't you ask me to come with you?" Luo Sheng paused for a long time when he said this.
"Yes, she's doing quite well now. She's teaching music at Yuncheng No.1 Middle School. You said you had something to do and left after the fan meeting that day, so I didn't have time to tell you."
Luo Sheng recalled that day when his cousin, who had just returned from the United States, said he had seen baijiu (Chinese liquor) in America. So he left early and rushed to see his cousin.
"I did have something to do that day. As long as Teacher Su Yun is doing well, I'll go to Yuncheng to see her in a while."
Yu Nian could more or less guess that he must have had something urgent to do that day, which was why he left in such a hurry. Most likely, it was news from the liquor company.
"That Song Ci? The man at the meet-and-greet, do you really know him?" Luo Sheng felt a bit irritated just thinking about Song Ci. The way that man looked at Yu Nian was like a pig eyeing a cabbage.
“Yes, we met once in France.” Yu Nian nodded at Luo Sheng, not denying it, as she recalled the man she had secretly photographed.
"How did you two meet? Did you know he was from the Song family in Yuncheng?"
"He's actually from Yuncheng? The Song family of Yuncheng? The one that's one of the top car manufacturers in the country?" A Weibo influencer?
A rich kid? Then why would he be flying economy class with her?
That's so down-to-earth! Haha!
"To be specific, his family is not only engaged in automobile production. Since Song Ci's father took over, the Song family has continued to grow and has now ventured into giant industries such as real estate and film and television."
So what are you trying to tell me?
“Niannian, I just wanted to say that Song Ci’s family isn’t that simple, especially his grandfather, who is said to be a very difficult person to deal with. And I’m afraid that someone like Song Ci might do something bad to you.”
A fish-delivering tycoon, scrolling through Weibo at home in the distance: ? Thanks for the compliment, he certainly has a hard time dealing with haters.
"Song Ci? What kind of person is he? Does Brother Luo Sheng even know him?"
"I don't know him."
"Since we don't know each other, Brother Luo Sheng, we still have too many stereotypes about people."
"And what does it matter to me whether his grandfather is easy to deal with or not? My relationship with Song Ci isn't what you're thinking. Besides, what era are we living in? Surely no one still puts on those melodramatic family dramas. Furthermore, if Song Ci and I were really in a relationship, I don't think the old man of the Song family would have any reason to do anything. Moreover, the idea that Grandpa Song is difficult to deal with is just a rumor, it has no truth to it."
"That's true, I was overthinking it. I'm sorry, Niannian."
Luo Sheng also felt that he had overstepped his bounds and felt very apologetic to Yu Nian.
Looking at the man in front of her, Yu Nian felt that he seemed different from before.
"Brother Luo Sheng, you know I don't like to comment on other people's behavior casually. Please don't say things like that again."

"What's wrong with me lately? I don't have a cold, but I keep sneezing. Is someone talking bad about me???"
