Chapter 129 Cold Jokes
Beside her, Jiang Luo looked her over, then paused slightly.
Is Xu Jingyan showing affection for He Ziyan?
I felt slightly displeased.
Following Xu Jingyan's gaze, Jiang Luo and He Ziyan's eyes met.
"Luo Luo, can you help me out?" He Ziyan asked softly.
Jiang Luo nodded.
She had long wanted to leave Xu Jingyan's side, and it would be best if she could find an excuse to leave.
Having not been invited, Xu Jingyan looked at them, hesitant to speak.
Shi Yan smiled and cupped her hands in greeting: "Then I'll leave it to you two. Teacher Xu and I will wait here for dinner."
She patted her chest again, "I'll wash the dishes then."
With Shi Yan around, there's no fear of the atmosphere getting cold.
He Ziyan walked straight to Jiang Luo's side and asked again, "Is there any food left in the refrigerator?"
His tone was very casual, like a couple having a daily conversation.
"We need to go buy some groceries first."
"Okay, let's go."
He Ziyan and Jiang Luo walked one after the other toward the door of the small house, naturally without asking the two people on the sofa.
He Ziyan has a height that rivals that of a model, and Jiang Luo is also tall and slender. Even if they just walk around casually together, they look very well-matched and eye-catching.
Xu Jingyan's gaze darkened as she looked at Shi Yan, who was staring intently at the television, and quietly asked, "Aren't we going?"
"No need," Shi Yan said nonchalantly. "The two of them are enough. We can't fit them all in the refrigerator. Let's just wait to eat and focus on having fun here."
Since Shi Yan had said so, Xu Jingyan couldn't insist on going with them. She just kept her eyes on the two of them until they left the courtyard by car.
On the bus.
Leaning back against the passenger seat, Jiang Luo turned her head to look outside, biting her lip, seemingly lost in thought.
As we entered late March, the weather warmed up, and many flowers bloomed along the roadside, their bright colors standing out against the lush greenery.
"kitten……"
Before He Ziyan could finish speaking, the man clicked his tongue with a wrinkled expression.
She straightened her back, looked at him with displeasure, and winked.
There are cameras here.
With a smile playing on his lips, He Ziyan suppressed the smugness of his successful little trick and asked seriously, "Why do you look so listless?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Luo said lazily as she curled up back into her room.
He glanced at her, then drove in silence for a while.
He could roughly guess that Jiang Luo's sullen mood was due to Xu Jingyan's arrival.
Through several conversations, he realized that the relationship between Jiang Luo and Xu Jingyan was quite subtle.
Although they are friends, Luo Luo's relationship with her and Shi Yan is completely different.
But if we're not friends, Luo Luo treats her in a completely different way than she treats non-friends.
As the journey drew to a close, the only sound in the car was the melodious music, making the silence all the more unusual.
The car stopped at a red light.
He Ziyan glanced at Jiang Luo, who still looked listless, and then said, "Luo Luo, let me tell you a joke."
Is He Ziyan telling a joke?
He Ziyan can actually tell jokes?
Jiang Luo became interested, turned to face him, her brows furrowed, her eyes darting around, and asked again, "Really?"
"Um."
He looked very serious, as if he absolutely had to tell this joke.
"Then you go ahead and speak." Jiang Luo placed her hands obediently on her knees, adopting the proper posture of listening attentively in class.
Once upon a time, He Ziyan’s voice rang out, as if bringing a gentle breeze that made people feel comfortable. “There was a match walking along the road. It felt an itch on its head, so it scratched it and ended up burning.”
Jiang Luo: ...It's so cold.
Jiang Luo clasped her hands in a fist salute and smiled, "Thank you for the joke that cooled me down. I feel much cooler after hearing it."
He Ziyan asked, puzzled, "Isn't it funny?"
Raising her eyebrows, Jiang Luo shook her head sincerely.
"Then let me say one more."
Jiang Luo: ...
"No need." Jiang Luo didn't want to hear any more lame jokes; she wasn't hot at all right now.
“Okay.” He Ziyan’s eyes were hurt.
Park the car and enter the garage.
When I got off the bus, the production crew had already arrived and set up the equipment in advance.
Occasionally, Jiang Luo would feel as if she were a target on an archery range, with those long and short spears ready to shoot her away at any moment.
The two walked ahead, followed by three cameramen.
"Let me tell you a joke," Jiang Luo suggested.
He Ziyan glanced sideways; the kitten's eyes were bright, and it seemed much more energetic than before. "Okay."
"Xiao Ming was dozing off in class and got scolded by the teacher. Suddenly, he covered his eyes and said sadly, 'Teacher, my eyes seem to be sick.' The teacher was very worried and immediately came up to ask, 'What's wrong with your eyes?'"
Jiang Luo truly lives up to her reputation as an actress; her body language and facial expressions perfectly complemented her speech, making it vivid and engaging.
The conversation stopped halfway through when she asked He Ziyan, "Guess what happened to Xiaoming's eyes?"
He is least good at riddles.
He Ziyan shook his head.
Jiang Luo approached mysteriously, rolled up her hands to cover her eyes, and said in a friendly manner, "Autism!"
He Ziyan scoffed.
That smile came out of nowhere.
Her rolled-up hands resembled long cylinders, and her smile was like a dazzling kaleidoscope, like a blooming flower.
Jiang Luo sighed.
Some people may appear serious on the surface, but in reality, they have a very low threshold for laughter.
However, looking at He Ziyan's radiant face, the gloom in her heart miraculously vanished.
strangeness.
His happiness was even more infectious than his jokes.
The two went to the supermarket and selected groceries. Jiang Luo casually left all her unpleasantness in the supermarket's cold and snow section.
On the way back, she resumed her usual self, chattering away like a lively little sparrow.
Back in the cottage, she chatted and laughed with He Ziyan, her mood bright and cheerful.
When Xu Jingyan saw her radiant expression, which seemed to have been redrawn, she was momentarily lost in thought.
"Let me help you." She got up and, as if possessed, followed the two people towards the kitchen.
He Ziyan walked ahead carrying two bags of groceries. Jiang Luo took a step back, turned around to look at Xu Jingyan who was following closely behind, and the smile was still on her lips. However, after a few seconds of looking at Xu Jingyan, the smile completely disappeared.
"The kitchen is quite small, so it's enough for just Luo Luo and me."
The voice came from behind Jiang Luo.
She didn't give Xu Jingyan any more glances and turned to help He Ziyan tidy up the vegetables.
Xu Jingyan stood a few steps away, gazing at the two people's every move. Her heart felt like it had been stung, a tingling, itchy pain.
Worried that Xu Jingyan would be embarrassed, Shi Yan quickly called out to her, "Teacher Xu! Come quick, we've reached a crucial moment in the performance! I've pressed pause, come quick!"
With the steps laid out before her, there was no reason not to take them, so Xu Jingyan returned to the sofa.
However, even after sitting down, his gaze couldn't help but wander across the restaurant and land on the two people sitting next to him.
Whether washing or chopping vegetables, the two of them were less than ten centimeters apart, just like a young couple deeply in love.
As she gazed at him, Xu Jingyan's expression turned cold.
This unpleasant feeling lingered over her all day, and even while eating, she didn't put on a polite mask of gentleness out of concern for the cameras.
