Ye Zhiwei and Ye Yingying were all lovey-dovey, while Jiang Jianian just watched coldly from the sidelines. Occasionally, when Ye Yingying said something to him, he would just give Ye Zhiwei, who was being coaxed into a daze by Ye Yingying, a meaningful look.
He didn't say a word.
Ye Zhiwei had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Jiang Jianian's attitude, especially since Jiang Jianian was still willing to cook dinner under such circumstances.
Ye Zhiwei had already made preparations to eat out or order takeout.
So Jiang Jianian also felt that Ye Yingying's words made a lot of sense. Was she atoning for her mistake just now? Is Jiang Jianian really that understanding?
Ye Zhiwei was flattered. Jiang Jianian glanced at Ye Zhiwei but didn't say anything more and went into the kitchen alone.
After Jiang Jianian went into the kitchen, Ye Zhiwei and Ye Yingying chatted in the living room. Ye Yingying knew that Jiang Jianian had learned to make desserts to please Ye Zhiwei, but she was unaware that since Ye Zhiwei moved here, Jiang Jianian had been taking care of Ye Zhiwei's diet.
"Can Brother Jia Nian cook?" Ye Yingying asked.
Speaking of this, Ye Zhiwei's eyes lit up, "Yes, and Jiang Jianian's cooking is especially delicious. I thought he had stopped making it."
Ye Yingying lowered her eyes and slowly said, "I also thought that after seeing me, Brother Jia Nian would not care about anything else and would only be focused on guarding against me."
Why is he being so wary of you?
Ye Yingying didn't say it directly, but said tactfully, "Because I'm already in the entertainment industry. Brother Jianian doesn't like the entertainment industry. In Brother Jianian's eyes, I'm a bad girl who has learned all those flashy but thankless things in the entertainment industry, and I'll even corrupt Sister Zhiwei."
Ye Zhiwei said with a smile, "Then you mustn't go astray!"
"Although I haven't gone astray, I'm going to secretly take Sister Zhiwei away to film with me." Ye Yingying asked casually, "Does Brother Jianian know that Sister Zhiwei is willing to act in Director Yu's film?"
Ye Zhiwei: ...How could she possibly mention Yu Shishu in front of Jiang Jianian? The first time Jiang Jianian exploded in front of her was because of Yu Shishu, and it was all because of a stupid photo that was wildly speculated about, even though she and Yu Shishu were completely innocent!
Ye Zhiwei said a little guiltyly, "It's just being an extra, right? Can't I join in the fun? What's there to say about this?"
Ye Yingying was stunned for a moment. It was indeed just an ordinary extra, but it was obvious that Yu Shishu did not want the shot to be just a simple sweep. He had studied how to shoot the close-up shot several times, and even ignored the assistant director's objection, insisting that several law students must be in the shot and given a certain close-up shot, and even be able to speak eloquently. Only the students' clean and innocent appearance could better highlight the evil of the well-dressed murderer on the podium.
Ye Yingying was unsure how to tell Ye Zhiwei that she might be chosen by Yu Shishu, and even more so, in a way that would involve close-up shots.
Otherwise, could you subtly suggest that this scene might feature close-up shots?
Ye Yingying considered for a moment and continued to ask, "Sister Zhiwei, some of the law student extras who appear in the shot may be shown in close-up shots. Director Yu's filming style is always quite unrestrained. What if you are accidentally filmed in close-up this time?"
Ye Zhiwei didn't care at all, and instead asked in confusion, "So what if I get a close-up shot? It'll just be a fleeting glimpse, right? Besides, the whole class should be there, so even if they only pick a few people to be in the shot, it might not be me, right?"
Ye Yingying: ...Isn't Yu Shishu trying his best to find all sorts of reasonable ways to get you to agree because he wants to film you?
Ye Zhiwei was completely unaware of Yu Shishu's good intentions, and Ye Yingying didn't want to play matchmaker either. She said with a smile, "Sister Zhiwei is so smart. It's just a fleeting shot. Even if you get caught on camera, it doesn't matter. Brother Jianian is definitely not interested in such trivial matters."
Just as Ye Yingying finished speaking, Jiang Jianian came out of the kitchen and reminded Ye Zhiwei to go eat.
Ye Zhiwei's heart almost stopped when Jiang Jianian suddenly appeared. She was only slightly relieved after confirming that Jiang Jianian had indeed just come out. She then took the green tea sister who knew her little secret to dinner.
Jiang Jianian seemed to have noticed Ye Zhiwei's subtle movements, but he didn't say anything because there were more important things to do before that.
Dinner today was a bit more Chinese-style.
There are two seasonal vegetable dishes: dry-fried cabbage and blanched lettuce.
The blanched lettuce was tender and fresh, with a dressing served on the side.
The main dish is still meat. Ye Zhiwei likes seafood, so Jiang Jianian often puts a lot of effort into shrimp and crab dishes. The centerpiece is a shrimp and vermicelli casserole. The shrimp and vermicelli, which have changed color from being braised, are sprinkled with minced garlic, green onions, and fresh chili peppers, making them look very beautiful.
Next to it was lotus leaf steamed beef. The beef, wrapped in glutinous rice flour, was placed on the lotus leaf, which was a bit dark in color due to steaming. The beef was made from beef sirloin, which was tender. As soon as the lid of the steamer was opened, the aroma of lotus leaves wafted out.
Ye Yingying was somewhat surprised because she had never seen Jiang Jianian cook before. She didn't expect that Jiang Jianian would go so far as to cook for Ye Zhiwei, and judging from the dishes, he must have put a lot of thought into them.
From the moment the food was served, Ye Zhiwei was clearly in a very good mood. Every dish that Jiang Jianian made suited her perfectly. After Jiang Jianian served Ye Zhiwei rice, Ye Zhiwei obediently sat down next to Jiang Jianian and began to eat.
After taking a bite of beef, she started eating shrimp, and finally scooped a big spoonful of vermicelli into her bowl. After finishing, she asked Jiang Jianian with bright eyes, "How did you make these vermicelli? It tastes so different from before, so fresh and fragrant, so delicious! Waaah, so delicious!"
The shrimp heads and tails were removed, but the shells weren't completely cleaned. Jiang Jianian put on gloves and started peeling shrimp for Ye Zhiwei. Sometimes, he would peel the shrimp and feed it directly to Ye Zhiwei. Ye Zhiwei didn't seem to mind at all and naturally ate the shrimp from Jiang Jianian's hands.
"Is the shrimp delicious?"
"The shrimp is so delicious!" Ye Zhiwei said, and then ate a second shrimp following Jiang Jianian's hand.
Just as Ye Zhiwei was about to eat the third shrimp that Jiang Jianian had peeled, she suddenly realized something and looked up at Ye Yingying.
Ye Yingying, who was completely ignored: ...
"Yingying is still here," Ye Zhiwei reminded Jiang Jianian.
Jiang Jianian didn't even glance at Ye Yingying, continuing to peel shrimp as he said expressionlessly, "Isn't it better if she's here? Let her realize how much of a hindrance she is here."
Ye Yingying, who had just seemed to have the upper hand and made Ye Zhiwei happy, was now completely defeated.
But Jiang Jianian went even further. After noticing a little bit of sauce on Ye Zhiwei's lips, he took off his gloves and used his clean, white fingers to wipe the sauce off Ye Zhiwei's lips bit by bit.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle because of Jiang Jianian's actions.
Ye Yingying gripped the chopsticks tighter, thinking that Jiang Jianian would restrain himself here, but she didn't expect that Jiang Jianian, who had just been watching her coldly and seemed helpless, would treat her like she was dead.
