Song Yiming noticed Xu Yanshen's strange behavior and asked curiously, "Brother Shen, why are you constantly looking at your phone? Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Song Yiming wanted to go take a look, but Xu Yanshen pushed him away, saying, "Song Yiming, your girlfriend is about to get off work, aren't you going to pick her up? She's not exactly likable to begin with, and if you keep being so careless with her, she'll run away sooner or later."
Although Xu Yanshen's words were unpleasant, they were true. Seeing that there was no time left, Song Yiming hurriedly went to pick up the person.
Xu Yanshen then put down his phone and took a sip of the lemon water prepared by the hotel.
Pu Di couldn't help but stare at Xu Yanshen.
Xu Yanshen raised his eyebrows and asked him what was wrong. Pu Di scratched his head embarrassedly, "I just didn't expect that in just two years, Brother Shen, your taste in girls has changed so much."
"Don't listen to Song Yiming, he likes to talk nonsense."
Pu Di laughed, "But, Brother Shen, you really haven't been in contact with that Ye Yingying anymore?"
"What's wrong?"
"Not long ago, during the summer vacation, the show 'The Criminal' was aired. Lu Guican actually really liked that show. I know about it because our brother Can kept recommending it to me. I even told Lu Guican on the way that I could ask him to help me get an autograph, haha, but now I can't."
Lu Guican nudged Pu Di, "Don't bother Brother Shen all the time. Brother Shen probably doesn't know her well either. Besides, didn't Brother Ming say that Brother Shen clarified before that he doesn't like Ye Yingying's type? Our Brother Shen doesn't like dealing with girls either."
After Pu Di finished speaking, Xu Yanshen picked up his cup again to drink water, pointing to his phone. A few seconds later, he smiled at Pu Di and said, "Yes, we haven't been in contact with her much lately."
"What a pity, what a pity." But speaking of Ye Yingying, Pu Di couldn't help but recall, "Last time, Brother Can sent me a short video; it seemed to be his goddess wearing a blue evening gown. She had a great figure and looked fantastic—"
Xu Yanshen did not speak.
Lu Guican thought Xu Yanshen didn't like gossiping about celebrities, so he signaled Pu Di to stop talking about Ye Yingying and quickly change the subject. Pu Di also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and couldn't help but think to himself: As expected of Brother Shen, his self-control, honed from having many beautiful women throw themselves at him, is really different. After dating so many school beauties, he's lost interest in women.
Just when the atmosphere was starting to get a little awkward, Song Yiming happened to arrive with his girlfriend, He Wangxing.
"Sister-in-law is here! Sister-in-law is here!"
He Wangxing was a little embarrassed and glared at Song Yiming, "Why didn't you tell me you were bringing a friend? It's not nice to keep them waiting for so long."
"Aren't you working overtime?"
“Just tell me and I’ll ask my boss for leave.” He Wangxing was much more mature than Song Yiming. She took her bag and sat down with a smile. “I’m sorry I’m late because I’m working overtime. Yiming didn’t even tell me that his friend came with him.”
"We're having a meal together to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. Later, Brother Ming will be giving her a surprise!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The group of people were quite adept at socializing, and they all chimed in with their own words of flattery.
Song Yiming said with a smile, "They're all my good buddies. I brought you here to get to know them. If your company needs any manual labor and you can't find anyone, you can call them."
He Wangxing covered her mouth and laughed, "How about Xu Shen? Our boss has been saying he wants to sign Xu Shen."
"No, no, this Brother Shen is different."
"You brat, you think brothers are divided into different classes?" Pu Di laughed and scolded.
The atmosphere improved again.
Xu Yanshen laughed along and reminded Song Yiming that it was time to have the hotel serve the dishes.
As soon as Song Yiming left, Xu Yanshen glanced at his phone again and found a message. He unlocked it to check the message, and sure enough, Ye Yingying's friend request had been accepted.
Ye Yingying: I'm sorry, I just saw the message. My bank account number is: XXXXXXXXXX6237.
Ye Yingying: Repair fee invoice.jpg This is the repair fee invoice. You can check it. I will write you a receipt after I receive the payment. I can send it to you with your address.
Xu Yanshen: I'm sorry, Ms. Ye, I don't have much money available. I may have to transfer it to you in several installments. Please write me a receipt after I've paid it all back.
Ye Yingying: ...
It was supposed to be a perfectly normal conversation, but the way they cut straight to the point without any politeness made Xu Yanshen cough and chuckle as he drank some water.
"Brother Shen, what are you laughing at? What's making you so happy all of a sudden?"
Xu Yanshen was handsome, and his smile was even more striking. The people at the table naturally noticed Xu Yanshen's sudden cheerful mood.
"Did I laugh?" Xu Yanshen put away his phone, composed himself, and said calmly, "Nothing's wrong, you must have misread it."
