Zheng Yi's friend remained silent.
After Lu Yibei asked the question again, he finally spoke, humiliated:
"No, I won't add any more."
"OK."
Lu Yibei handed the phone back to Ji Qingqian, then casually glanced around the store and called out, "Brother Chen!"
"What!?"
Brother Chen rushed over in a flurry.
“I’ll sit there,” Lu Yibei said, pointing to an empty seat.
Brother Chen: ...
He raised his foot, pretending to kick Lu Yibei's butt:
"I thought something serious had happened!"
"Hurry up, I'm really hungry," Lu Yibei said with a smile.
"Um."
Lu Yibei sat in an empty seat not far from Zheng Yi's table.
Ji Qingqian naturally followed along as well.
After this incident, it's no exaggeration to say that Zheng Yi's birthday celebration was completely ruined.
Zheng Yi and his friend looked ashen-faced.
Chu Chu stopped babbling and casually picked up a skewer of grilled meat and started eating it.
Wang Jue hung his head, not daring to raise it at all. He was like an ostrich, as if he were the one who had done something wrong.
As for Ma Jiaojiao…
She was the bridge between Ji Qingqian and Zheng Yi, but she didn't say a word after Lu Yibei appeared.
She pursed her lips, her expression somewhat flustered and at a loss.
Lu Yibei looked at Ma Jiaojiao for a while.
Ma Jiaojiao noticed his gaze.
After their eyes met, Ma Jiaojiao quickly withdrew her gaze.
"Isn't that too fierce?"
Lu Yibei gently asked the girl in front of her who was looking through her phone.
Ji Qingqian raised her bare face, her eyes darting around, and said with a faint smile:
“If you talk to me like that, it is a bit harsh, but not really, so I don’t find it aggressive.”
"I accidentally swore," Lu Yibei said with a smile.
"I covered my ears, so I didn't hear it," Ji Qingqian said.
“You’re not covering it up,” Lu Yibei said.
"Just pretend I covered it up."
Ji Qingqian's eyes were bright, whether it was because of the incandescent light above her head or because the boy was sitting in front of her, it was hard to tell.
The boy chuckled.
"Okay, sure."
The two tacitly avoided bringing up the topic again.
As if what had just happened didn't exist, they continued talking to themselves, and the topic returned to the welcome party a few days later.
But Zheng Yi couldn't ignore it at all.
First, his friend felt that he was too embarrassed to stay there, so he left without saying a word.
Then another friend followed.
Zheng Yi clicked his tongue loudly and slammed the bottom of the bowl onto the table.
With a loud bang.
He chased after Chen after him, hearing his sarcastic remark, "Guest, you have to pay for the damage."
Then, Ma Jiaojiao followed in her boyfriend's footsteps and left.
However, Ma Jiaojiao said something to Chu Chu and Wang Jue before she left.
Lu Yibei was too far away to hear clearly.
"Don't worry."
Chu Chu heard it clearly.
She didn't tell Ma Jiaojiao to stop because she knew that even if she did, the latter wouldn't stop.
Only Wang Jue and Chu Chu remained at the table.
Only then did Wang Jue dare to say, still feeling lingering fear:
"That's scary."
"...It's all Senior Lu's fault," Chu Chu said, dissatisfied.
Wang Jue was stunned for a moment, then put on a stern face and said:
"I think Senior Lu is right, it's Senior Zheng's friend who went too far, saying that Ji Qingqian has a boyfriend..."
That's not what I meant.
Chu Chu sighed again, then cursed, "Damn it, Senior Lu let those guys blatantly skip out on the bill! Now we have to pay!!"
Wang Jue: "...You're right."
Oh shit.
As Ma Jiaojiao left, she brushed past Lu Yibei and his group at their table.
Lu Yibei felt a little guilty towards Ma Jiaojiao.
But not many.
He did indeed disrupt her boyfriend's birthday.
But this shouldn't be his fault in the first place; if anyone's to blame, it's Zheng Yi's friend... or rather, himself.
Lu Yibei was quite aware of the situation.
He naturally harbors a strong possessive desire for his girlfriend.
But he also understood how outstanding his little girl was, and it was perfectly normal for people who knew her to be attracted to her.
Asking for contact information or expressing liking is within the realm of understanding.
However, all of this is based on the premise that you don't know she has a boyfriend.
Anyone who knows she has a boyfriend and still makes such a statement is simply disgusting.
To put it bluntly, this has nothing to do with whether he is Ji Qingqian's boyfriend or not.
It's purely a moral issue involving those few humanoid creatures.
Lu Yibei looked up and found that his girlfriend's gaze was following Ma Jiaojiao's back.
Lu Yibei smiled gently:
"Come back to my apartment with me tonight. It's been so long since I've spent the night there. I'm really missing your bed at home."
If Lu Yibei had made such a suggestion before, his girlfriend would have been beaming with joy.
But today she was very serious and asked:
"Abei, am I the kind of girlfriend you'd be proud of?"
“Of course,” Lu Yibei said.
“Then you have to believe me, I won’t run away,” Ji Qingqian said.
Lu Yibei was speechless for a moment, then chuckled and could only obediently hum in agreement.
He was afraid that if he made such a scene, Ma Jiaojiao would start arguing with Ji Qingqian.
That's why I mentioned it.
"First of all, I feel that Ma Jiaojiao won't argue with me."
As Ji Qingqian spoke, a hint of smugness shone in her slightly narrowed eyes: "Secondly, even if Ma Jiaojiao argues with me, she can't win."
Lu Yibei: ...
He didn't know where Lady Ji's confidence came from.
But upon closer inspection, hey, it really is true.
To fight this female warrior, it's less about being unable to win an argument and more about being intimidated by her aura before you even open your mouth.
