Chapter 12
"Dinner is ready~" Guan Tong brought two plates of lasagna and placed them on the table.
The white porcelain plate and the placemat made a slight collision sound, but it was enough to bring Huo Yanzhi back to his senses.
“What are you talking about?” Ana Shen came over with the dinner plate in both hands and asked with a smile, “I just saw you guys chatting and playing, but the noise behind the cooking table was too loud, so I couldn’t hear anything.”
Yun Guanqing did not directly answer Shen Nanxiao’s question, but asked: “Have you seen You Mian?”
Ana Shen was looking around in confusion when Guan Tong came over with stewed veal shanks and said, “You Mian? He was called over by the program crew.”
As soon as Guan Tong finished speaking, he looked up and pointed at You Mian and Pei Huaiji who had just walked out of the interview area in the distance and said, "Aren't they back?"
Guan Tong didn't know the complicated relationship between these people, so he said to You Mian who had just returned: "Dear, they are all looking for you."
You Mian had just escaped from the Shura Field and thought that the topic would have been discussed by the time he returned.
I didn’t expect there would be a sequel. It’s really a headache.
"Aren't I here?" You Mian glanced at Huo Yanzhi and Yun Guanqing calmly, then chose a seat at the corner of the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Yun Guanqing and You Mian were separated by an entire long table diagonally. The long-haired man raised his eyebrows gorgeously, his eyes deep.
"Don't be polite, pick a seat and sit down." Guan Tong stared at the cheese pasta, and sat down in the third seat from the right in front of the pasta without even looking at the other guests, saying, "I'm so greedy after seeing Brother Shen's cooking skills."
After a brief pause, Bai Lin chose to sit on the left side of Yun Guanqing with his back to the sea.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yanzhi directly pulled out the chair next to Bai Lin, with his movements being fast and large, revealing his irritable mood.
Ana Shen walked over slowly and sat next to Huo Yanzhi, opposite You Mian.
Now the only seats left next to You Mian's left and next to Guan Tong were empty.
At this moment, Yan Tingxuan, who had been standing behind the cooking table without moving, suddenly wiped his hands and walked towards You Mian.
The man was determined to win. Yan Tingxuan felt that he and You Mian needed to talk, and this idea would definitely not be rejected.
But before Yan Tingxuan's fingers touched the back of the chair, You Mian pulled out the chair before him, turned around and said to Pei Huaiji, who had been watching the show like a background board, "Mr. Pei, please sit here."
Yan Tingxuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Pei Huaiji lowered his eyes silently and looked at You Mian.
After a few seconds of stalemate, You Mian blinked lightly.
Pei Huaiji walked closer, and then condescended to sit in the seat that Yan Tingxuan had almost pulled away from, and said lightly: "Actually, it doesn't matter where I sit."
The scene froze for a moment.
Yun Guanqing, who was far away, looked at this scene and chuckled.
Yan Tingxuan didn't expect that he would be rejected by You Mian, and his expression at this moment was full of surprise.
But with the camera right next to him, even if Yan Tingxuan was unhappy, he could only pretend to be easy-going and lightly change the subject.
"I can sit anywhere."
After saying this, Yan Tingxuan turned around and walked towards Guan Tong and sat down at the table on the far left.
By the time everyone was seated and raised their glasses together at Shen Nanxiao's signal, Huo Yanzhi had not yet recovered from the shock.
Huo Yanzhi believed that he did not have as strong a mentality as Yan Tingxuan, and he could not deal with You Mian's attitude as if he were a stranger.
Once upon a time, when Huo Yanzhi went to You's house to look for Bai Lin, he met You Mian at the stairs.
At that time, You Mian looked very bleak and gray, as if he was about to wither.
You Mian lowered her neck, frowned, and stopped Huo Yanzhi just to try to find some sense of identity from him.
The You family abandoned this adopted son, and everyone ignored You Mian as if he were air.
He must have been devastated when faced with the sudden change.
You Mian's voice was trembling, but she managed to say, "Yanzhi, didn't we already decide to go to this exhibition together? It was you who suggested it."
"Aren't we friends anymore?"
Huo Yanzhi's memory of that time was a little vague, but he only remembered that he rejected You Mian very firmly and warned the other party to recognize his identity.
Huo Yanzhi had wanted to take Bai Lin to see that exhibition for a long time, but because Bai Lin had been abroad, he had to settle for the second best option and asked to take You Mian with him.
Now that Bai Lin is back, this substitute is no longer important.
Huo Yanzhi said coldly and cruelly: "I'm ready to go to that exhibition with Bai Lin."
Huo Yanzhi quickly pushed You Mian aside and left to find Bai Lin. At that time, Yan Tingxuan was already sitting in Bai Lin's room, and the two were talking about painting and art with great interest.
On the spacious bedroom floor lay a sketch design, most of which was covered by a white cloth.
When Huo Yanzhi closed the door of Bai Lin's room, he saw You Mian's back through the gap in the huge door.
It was a disappointed, sad, and helpless figure like an abandoned little animal.
…
The waves violently hit the white cliff in front of the cottage in the distance, and the sharp and moist sea vapor rushed into Huo Yanzhi's nostrils, pulling him back from his thoughts.
You Mian stood in front of the long table, ignoring the gaze from Huo Yanzhi.
He didn't know what was wrong with Huo Yanzhi, as he suddenly started staring at him.
After ignoring Huo Yanzhi's puzzled look, You Mian seriously considered the idea of cooperating with Pei Huaiji.
Although he had thought of a win-win cooperation with Pei Huaiji before, that idea was just a prototype and there was no plan.
But now, because of Yan Tingxuan's sudden action, You Mian had to pull Pei Huaiji to cover for him.
You Mian took a deep breath in his heart. He was really pulling hair from the lion's tail.
