After hearing this, Su Yinyin really didn't know how to refuse.
It was just a meeting, nothing special, she tried not to think too much about it - Professor Zou was a nice person, she didn't want to pour cold water on him.
"No problem, sure."
Su Yinyin replied.
The voice on the other end immediately became excited when she heard this: "Okay, okay, tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock, but you don't have to be nervous, let's just get together with some of my friends and relatives here."
"Um."
──
The next day, snacks were in the spotlight. Before five o'clock, the smell of food wafted out from the store entrance. Su Yinyin had never been good at chatting with people at the table. Whenever she was in a crowded place, she couldn't even eat a few more bites of food. So this time, in order to prevent Professor Zou from feeling that she was dissatisfied with the banquet, she deliberately skipped lunch and came on an empty stomach.
When she pushed open the door of the private room, to her surprise, everyone at the table stared at her with shining eyes. Zou Hua was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she quickly stood up and introduced them.
"A distinguished guest has arrived. Let me introduce you. This is Su Yinyin, a very outstanding young lady. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very intelligent."
"Professor Zou said she is smart, so she must be really smart." Several people at the table looked at Su Yinyin with smiles and nodded continuously. They looked like parents of the same generation as their parents.
To be honest, Su Yinyin was a little panicked.
As expected.
The next second, she saw a very familiar figure, looking at her with piercing eyes, so much so that she subconsciously said the other person's name:
"Zhang Ruoyuan?"
Zhang Ruoyuan quickly stood up, looking a little nervous. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Yinyin, hello, we meet again, um..."
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that the two knew each other, Zou Hua quickly came over and said:
"Yinyin didn't tell you before that this is my nephew, my real nephew! Zhang Ruoyuan, you two have been on a show together, right? He said you know each other."
Su Yinyin nodded: "Yes, I do know him."
But this was the first time Su Yinyin heard that Zhang Ruoyuan was Zou Hua's nephew.
"Oh, you don't know, ever since I recommended this kid to watch your show, he's been clinging to me and asking for an introduction. I told him I'm not that familiar with you, and I was afraid you wouldn't be happy if I introduced you rashly. It was only after hearing that you young people got along well on the show that I dared to set this up."
Zou Hua's sense of proportion was not too excessive, at least it was within the acceptable range for Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin nodded in understanding and then sat down. Her seat was arranged opposite Zhang Ruoyuan. Although they were not sitting next to each other, the suffocating feeling of being scrutinized by his relatives intentionally or unintentionally lingered on her for a long time.
I instantly lost my appetite.
Fortunately, Zou Hua understood the atmosphere and kept the theme of the banquet focused on the fact that he was about to leave. Over time, Su Yinyin's presence finally faded a little.
"Let me tell you... these folks are all very honest people. They're reluctant to part with it, and it's true..."
After the meal, Zou Hua was already a little drunk. He was helped into the car by Zhang Ruoyuan. After greeting the driver and sending him there, Zhang Ruoyuan turned and looked at Su Yinyin who had just finished her meal and walked downstairs.
He didn't speak as freely as he did on the show, and even stuttered a little: "Yinyin... Well, I'm sorry, I made you embarrassed today. I didn't expect my uncle to invite so many people. I'm sorry."
Su Yinyin quickly waved her hand to show that she didn't care: "It's okay, it's okay, your family is very cute, I'm not embarrassed, haha, but you look more embarrassed."
This was true, probably because Su Yinyin was sitting opposite him. Zhang Ruoyuan didn't say much during the whole meal, and was only teased by relatives for not finding a partner at his age.
"Really? I'm glad it's not awkward. I see you didn't drive here, so why don't you tell me where your home is and I'll take you back."
Zou Hua was probably not completely drunk, and he strongly requested that the taxi take him back, meaning that he should leave Zhang Ruoyuan's parking space for Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin thought about it for a moment, thinking that it was so late and it would be inconvenient for her to go back alone, so she agreed.
Halfway through the drive, Zhang Ruoyuan asked her if she wanted to get off the car and have a bowl of beef noodles, seeing that she had barely eaten a bite at the table just now.
Su Yinyin rejected it.
"No, I usually eat less. I have another film coming up soon, so I need to keep in shape, haha."
"It's okay. Don't be too hard on yourself. You're very thin, so it's okay to eat occasionally."
Putting aside other things, Zhang Ruoyuan is indeed outstanding and good-looking. He graduated with the highest professional score in a nationally renowned art school. Even after switching to self-media, he has achieved some success. It is said that he is also good at painting and music. He is an absolute talent.
If these conditions are met as a partner, then it would naturally be ideal.
Just thinking about this, Su Yinyin always felt weird that she had no other thoughts about such an outstanding person.
When they arrived at her doorstep, Zhang Ruoyuan got out of the car to see her off. In the night breeze, a gentle look visibly appeared on his fair, youthful face.
Unlike his radiant appearance on stage, Su Yinyin had never seen him like this before and was very surprised.
"Then I'll drop you off here and not go upstairs. Be careful at home. If anything happens, call me. I'll be there anytime."
Su Yinyin nodded and smiled at him, then turned and got on the elevator.
She opened the door, threw her shoes on the ground, and collapsed on the sofa without even changing her shoes.
She was tired, really tired. Every time after such a dinner, she would take a shower and fall asleep on the bed.
But today, there are still some blind people who ring their own doorbell at this time.
She threw a pillow at the door in annoyance: "Who is it?"
Such a lack of manners late at night!
She walked to the door angrily, looked through the peephole, and was a little confused when she saw that it was Liu Yue.
Hadn't she already gotten off work late at night? Why couldn't she say anything over the phone instead of coming to my house?
At Liu Yue's another soul-stirring doorbell call, Su Yinyin resigned herself to her fate and opened the door.
"Sister Liu, what are you doing here so late?"
Liu Yue stood at the door, looking embarrassed and didn't say anything or come in. Su Yinyin was wondering about it, and the next second, she saw Lu Jingxu's cold face, which she couldn't tell whether it was gloomy, aggrieved, or about to scold her.
He took off his shoes and walked in without caring whether Su Yinyin agreed to let him in or not.
"this…"
Su Yinyin looked at Liu Yue with a questioning look, hoping that she could give her a reasonable explanation.
Her expression was very ugly: "Yin Yin, please forgive me. There really is a reason. I will tell you another day. You can make him a bowl of noodles first. I heard that he only ate five meals a week."
