Chapter 618: Not picky about food, but never suffers losses
"Nothing?" Chen Ci interrupted Sun Feifei and asked coldly, "Are you trying to deny it?"
Sun Feifei opened her mouth. Now that she knew Chen Ci's identity, the provocative and arrogant attitude she had just shown in the bathroom disappeared completely.
Xiaojie was also frightened, but seeing the situation getting worse, she finally said, "Beautiful lady, Feifei was indeed wrong just now, but there's no need for you to be so aggressive, right? After all, Feifei is Gao Zhan's friend, you should always..."
"Hmm?" Chen Ci looked at Xiao Jie and just raised his eyebrows slightly to hold back the other person's next words.
She suddenly chuckled. "Are you trying to say that I should consider my boyfriend's face and pretend I didn't hear what you said? When you said those things, did you consider Gao Zhan? Did you ever consider that I'm his girlfriend?"
"No?"
And someone as smart as Gao Zhan obviously understood what Shen Ci was saying at this time.
It was Feifei who said something unpleasant in the bathroom and was heard by Chen Ci.
Chen Ci looked at Gao Zhan again: "Gao Zhan, now that things have come to this, I hope you can understand that I am not the kind of girl who would sacrifice myself for you and make unreasonable concessions to others. I am not a picky eater, but I will never suffer any loss. If anyone provokes me, I will never tolerate it!"
"This is my place. Your friend said bad things about me behind my back. As the boss here, I'm telling her I'm no longer welcome. Is that too much to say?"
Gao Zhan looked at Shen Ci with deep eyes, listening carefully to every word she said.
"Gao Zhan, is this the girlfriend you found? Did you hear what she said?" Sun Feifei laughed in anger, trying to use such words to provoke Gao Zhan's dissatisfaction with Chen Ci, and then speak for her.
However...
"Fei Fei, please apologize to my girlfriend." Gao Zhan looked at Sun Fei Fei and said seriously.
The anger on Sun Feifei's face froze: "Gao Zhan, you..."
Looking at the serious expression on Gao Zhan's face, and considering her understanding of Gao Zhan's character, Sun Feifei knew that he was not joking.
"Okay, you're really awesome, Gao Zhan!" Sun Feifei was so angry that she became speechless and instantly lost the desire to continue speaking because she knew that it would be useless for her to say anything more.
She turned around and picked up her bag. With red eyes, she looked at Gao Zhan, gritted her teeth, pursed her lips, and finally turned and left without saying anything.
"I'm sorry, Gao Zhan. We're leaving first and will contact you later." Xiao Jie shrank her neck, waved at Gao Zhan, and quickly chased after Sun Feifei.
Shen Ci reminded indifferently: "Remember to pay the bill!"
As soon as the person left, the manager bowed slightly to Shen Ci: “Miss Shen, I’ll be busy now. You can call me anytime if you have anything.”
Shen Ci nodded, and the manager turned and left.
Only then did she realize that Gao Zhan had been holding her hand all the time, and had not been affected by Sun Feifei at all, and had never let go from beginning to end.
She looked at the hands they were holding, and then her eyes moved up to Gao Zhan's face.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. You chose this place yourself." Shen Ci explained softly, "I was planning to tell you after dinner."
She had never thought of hiding this from Gao Zhan, and there was no need to.
Hiding one's wealth and poverty is a big taboo in love, but Chen Ci has always been open about this.
"I know." Gao Zhan nodded and took Shen Ci back to their original position.
"Sun Feifei and Liang Shishi are best friends, so she might be hostile to you..."
"You don't need to explain this." Chen Ci interrupted Gao Zhan and said with satisfaction: "You did a good job just now."
"Since I won't put myself in a difficult position for you, I won't let you put yourself in a difficult position for me. You don't need to apologize to me for what your friend did. It has nothing to do with you. I won't ask you to cut off contact with her because of what happened today. She is your friend, and you are free to decide how to handle your relationship with her."
She is so clear and distinct in this way.
It was just a relationship, she didn't want to make things so complicated, and she didn't want to interfere with Gao Zhan's interpersonal relationships.
She is not interested in anyone except Gao Zhan.
Today, because Sun Feifei bumped into her, it was a matter between the two of them, so she had to deal with the matter based on her own feelings.
Gao Zhan immediately understood what Shen Ci meant and nodded in understanding: “Okay, then let’s not talk about it anymore. I’ll take you somewhere after dinner.”
Shen Ci's mood was not affected by what had just happened. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
"Go to a place you have definitely never been to." Gao Zhan said mysteriously.
After dinner, Gao Zhan drove Chen Ci to a very, very far place, and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.
After getting out of the car, Chen Ci looked around. This place was even more remote than the suburbs, but there were many cars parked at the foot of the mountain, and some people were walking up the mountain along the stone steps from the intersection on one side.
"You've never been here before?" Gao Zhan looked at her and asked.
Chen Ci shook his head: "No, I have only been to Mount Li in Longcheng. Where is this?"
"This is Yanxia Mountain. We are now in the westernmost suburbs of Longcheng, near the Wuling District. It's normal that you haven't been here before."
Chen Ci looked at the people heading up the mountain: "What's on this mountain? Why did so many people come all the way here?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
As Gao Zhan spoke, he opened his five fingers wide and clasped Shen Ci's fingers, then held her hand and walked up the mountain with their fingers interlocked.
The road up the mountain is obviously man-made to facilitate climbers. There are benches every few meters for people to rest.
After climbing for a while, the temperature in the mountain was obviously much lower than that at the foot of the mountain. Gao Zhan took off his thick coat and put it on Chen Ci: "Hold on a little longer, we will be there soon."
Shen Ci smiled and nodded, not feeling tired at all, nor feeling cold.
She was even looking forward to what Gao Zhan would take her to see on their first date and why they would have to climb a mountain.
When they climbed to a certain point on the mountainside, the stone steps suddenly turned and headed towards the west side of the mountain. A stunning red color caught Chen Ci's eyes off guard.
Her mouth opened slightly in surprise. On the west side of the mountain was a maple forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. The maple leaves in late autumn turned the mountains red, like a layer of falling clouds of fire.
"So beautiful!" Shen Ci exclaimed in amazement, and for a moment she was actually a little moved.
because……
This was the first time in her life that she saw a maple forest with her own eyes.
Even in her previous life, she had lived for 65 years, but she had never climbed the Yanxia Mountain in Longcheng in late autumn, nor had she seen such a beautiful maple forest.
"Do you like it?"
Gao Zhan's gentle voice sounded from his ear, and there was a hint of pride in his tone. He obviously noticed Shen Ci's reaction of slightly moist eyes.
Shen Ci nodded with an moved expression, and unconsciously moved closer to Gao Zhan's arms: "I like it."
Dear children, the short play adapted from this book will be launched on all platforms at 10 am on the 9th.
Because the adapted script was not written by me, the plot may differ from the original text. This article has not yet been completed, so the ending of the short play was written by the adaptation editor and is different from the ending of this article.
Selling the rights to the short play signifies the commercial value of our book and is a testament to its recognition. It also provides a novel experience for readers. Turning a popular novel into a short play is quite interesting, isn't it?
However, as the short play is about to be released, I would like to appeal to everyone here to watch the show in a civilized manner. Even if there are discrepancies in the plot, this is to maintain the high-emotion and fast-paced characteristics of the short play. I hope everyone can understand.
Secondly, and most importantly, I'm considering the casting for the skit. While Shen Ci is indeed a stunningly beautiful woman, I'm only interested in empathizing with her while reading. Filming for a skit isn't easy, so please refrain from criticizing the actors' appearance, especially since most of the characters are girls. Please also have more empathy for the actresses. After all, to achieve the look I desired for Shen Ci, I'd probably have to cast someone like Dilraba Dilmurat or Ni Ni.
That’s all. Thank you everyone, and please help me!
