"Has Tan Ziting contacted your sister recently?" Ming Jiayi asked.
Zhan Pingping shook her head. "No, I haven't heard my sister mention it."
Ming Jiayi sat there quietly, stroking her chin, without saying anything more.
After going through this process, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Tan Ziting took the entrance exam for the Beijing Drama Academy for three years for Zhan Fanfan, but he failed to get in.
During his final year of college entrance exams, he learned that Zhan Fanfan had a boyfriend. Enraged, he wanted to kill himself and his boyfriend.
There's a gap in those two years; we don't know what happened during that time.
But two years later he came back, and even registered a Weibo account for gossip enthusiasts, preparing to take revenge on the Beijing Drama Academy.
While seeking revenge, he was also sending out resumes to the Beijing Drama Academy, hoping to seize the last glimmer of hope to become a teacher there, probably all for Zhan Fanfan...
Zhan Pingping glanced up at Gu Shaojin, then at Ming Jiayi, before lowering her head and smiling faintly.
Gu Shaojin looked at Zhan Pingping's smile with a calm and indifferent expression. For some reason, he just felt that something was off about Zhan Pingping...
Zhan Pingping stood up with her tablet for taking orders. "Jiayi, I need to get to work now. What would you like to order?"
Ming Jiayi's thoughts were pulled back by this sentence. She gave a blank "oh" and then answered absentmindedly.
"Do you have any particularly famous dishes here? I'd like one of each."
Du Hui put down his phone and pointed at the menu, saying, "Finally, I can order food! I want this, this, and this all!"
Zhan Pingping added the items from Du Hui Dian to her shopping cart one by one, and then she ordered several famous dishes from the restaurant for Ming Jiayi.
Then, she looked up at Gu Shaojin somewhat nervously and asked timidly, "Mr. Gu, what would you like to order?"
Gu Shaojin didn't even open the menu on the table to look at it, and coldly replied, "No need."
Zhan Pingping put away the menus for the three of them, then pursed her lips and slowly walked out.
Du Hui muttered to himself, saying slowly, "What a small world. I just saw her and now I see her again."
Ming Jiayi expressed her strong agreement.
She was just worrying about how to investigate Tan Ziting's matter when Zhan Pingping appeared.
It has to be said that fate is truly wondrous.
Moreover, the timing of Zhan Pingping's two appearances was just perfect.
What does this tell us?
This shows that the two of them were destined to be together in this world!
The last dish for the three of them was brought in by Zhan Pingping.
She had just placed the dishes on the table when Ming Jiayi pulled her down to sit.
"Let's sit down and eat together. Don't worry about work, I'll talk to your manager about it in a bit."
Zhan Pingping declined a few times, feeling a little embarrassed, but in the end she obediently sat down.
Zhan Pingping, somewhat embarrassed, picked up a few dishes and put them into her bowl, her gaze constantly glancing at Ming Jiayi and Gu Shaojin.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, "Jiayi, is what's being said online true? Are you and this President Gu really a couple?"
Ming Jiayi scratched her head and calmly replied, "We're not a couple. It's all nonsense online."
Gu Shaojin used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat, and then calmly placed it in Ming Jiayi's bowl.
"Yes. We're not a couple, we're a pair."
Zhan Pingping opened his mouth and unconsciously let out a "ha" sound.
Ming Jiayi looked at Gu Shaojin with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what he meant.
Is he playing word games with her here?
Zhan Pingping scratched his head in confusion. "President Gu, I don't quite understand what you mean... So, are you two a couple?"
“No!” Ming Jiayi answered directly.
Du Hui watched Ming Jiayi and Gu Shaojin with a look of utter fascination, and he sincerely replied,
"In some ways, you two are quite compatible. For example, you're both equally talented. You could consider becoming a couple."
Ming Jiayi sat up straight, her gaze fixed intently on Gu Shaojin.
“Mr. Gu, I think we should clarify things. It’s making us all very uncomfortable with all these questions, isn’t it? And I don’t want to be associated with you.”
Gu Shaojin maintained her calm expression. "It doesn't matter. Let them tie me up then."
“But I don’t want to be tied to you,” Ming Jiayi replied.
Zhan Pingping's gaze shifted back and forth between the two.
Her expression was somewhat subtle. She wanted to interrupt and say something, but the sounds of Ming Jiayi and Gu Shaojin bickering kept echoing in her mind.
It seemed as if neither of them wanted to give her a chance to speak.
…
After dinner, Gu Shaojin escorted Ming Jiayi back to the film set.
Du Hui and Zhan Pingping each did their own thing.
At the entrance of the film crew's location.
The moment Gu Shaojin's luxury car stopped at the entrance of the film crew's studio, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone around.
They gathered around the car, taking pictures with their phones.
The discussion was incessant for a while.
Ming Jiayi has selectively told Mo Xing about what happened in the past two days.
So Mo Xing was standing at the entrance of the film crew waiting for Ming Jiayi.
But what Ming Jiayi couldn't understand was...
Bai Li was also there.
Gu Shaojin tapped his hands lightly on the steering wheel, and stared at Bai Li through the mirror with a hostile look.
Just as Ming Jiayi unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to get out of the car, Gu Shaojin's cold and impatient voice reached her ears.
"Is Bai Li the male lead in this drama?"
Ming Jiayi glanced at Bai Li through the window and replied, "No. The male lead of this drama is Geng Zhe."
"Who is Geng Zhe?" Gu Shaojin asked.
“If you don’t know him, then even if I told you, you wouldn’t know either,” Ming Jiayi replied matter-of-factly.
After saying that, she placed her hand on the car door, preparing to open it and get out.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shaojin suddenly grabbed her left hand and leaned down to whisper in her ear with lightning speed.
Let's be together.
Ming Jiayi's face flushed red instantly. She pushed Gu Shaojin away in a flustered manner, then forced herself to remain calm and said...
"What? Mr. Gu is also captivated by my beauty?"
Gu Shaojin smiled wickedly, then stubbornly replied,
"Of course not. I believe you don't want to be the subject of rumors every day, right? If we get together, those rumors about you will naturally disappear."
Ming Jiayi seemed to understand. She waved her hand dismissively and replied, "Whatever, let them say what they want. The innocent will clear themselves."
A hint of anger appeared on Gu Shaojin's face.
She doesn't care, but he does!
Now that things have been said to this extent, how can you still not understand his feelings?
