It didn't feel deliberate; it was like a casual question.
Ning Qiluo looked up at Su Muyu across from her. Seeing him looking at her, she smiled and answered Jiang Yingchi's question in a gentle tone: "I was with a new artist we signed with our company. He's my junior now, so as his senior, I treated him to hot pot."
“Okay,” Jiang Yingchi replied, “I’ll come pick you up later. Send me the address.”
"Um."
It was a very simple phone call.
He simply asked her where she was and what she was doing, and then said he would come to pick her up.
There were no other doubts or speculations, or attempts to tease her by saying things she liked to hear.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Qiluo sent the address to Jiang Yingchi with a single click.
Su Muyu, sitting on the other end of the line, didn't look back at her until she put down her phone, because her bright smile while she was talking to another man had been glaringly obvious to him.
"Senior sister, would you like to get to know me?"
Suddenly, Su Muyu asked.
Ning Qiluo put down her phone, ate her food, and asked, "What do I know about you?"
"For example, why did I enter the entertainment industry? Where am I from? Aren't you curious about me at all, senior sister?" His voice was calm and even, but you could always feel his presence from time to time.
However, Ning Qiluo didn't pay much attention to these things.
He said, "I'm not checking your household registration. I only need to know your name; nothing else matters."
After saying that, Ning Qiluo paused for a moment and looked at Su Muyu's expression.
Then she immediately changed her tune: "I'm sorry, I'm just being blunt, that's not what I meant. I'm afraid you'll get annoyed if I ask you too many questions, so I usually don't ask these things."
Su Muyu smiled slightly, "It's alright."
He paused for a moment, then said, "There was never any awkwardness between us."
Ning Qiluo was taken aback: "...Huh?"
Su Muyu explained, "We will be working together in the same environment from now on, training and improving together. We will become more and more familiar with each other."
So that's what he meant.
I had a very satisfying hot pot meal.
Ning Qiluo was able to eat her fill of whatever she liked, and the dishes she didn't like happened to be to Su Muyu's liking, so in the end there was only a little bit of food left.
Seeing her red lips, Su Muyu handed her some plum juice: "Drink some to relieve the heat and quench your thirst."
Ning Qiluo said, "Thank you," when she took it.
"You're welcome."
You can pay by scanning the QR code on the desktop; Ning Qiluo simply scanned the code to pay.
Su Muyu didn't rush to pay the bill. After Ning Qiluo paid, he said, "This time it should have been my treat."
"It's nothing, you're my junior brother," she said.
"You're also my senior sister, so next time it'll be my treat. I hope you won't refuse."
Su Muyu said to her.
We just finished eating, and we don't know when the next meal will be.
Ning Qiluo readily agreed, "Okay."
After finishing the hot pot, Ning Qiluo was sweating profusely. She put on a hat and a mask, which made her sweat even more.
There are still many people eating here at this time.
There were many people downstairs.
Su Muyu's shoulder was accidentally bumped, and the two separated by a certain distance. Ning Qiluo thought that since they were going out anyway, she didn't care about being one in front of the other.
But Su Muyu cared a lot.
He was very anxious to find her and took her hand.
He grabbed her hand again, and Ning Qiluo felt strange. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, he said, "Let's go out first, there are too many people here."
Ning Qiluo had no choice but to refrain from withdrawing her hand and said, "Alright then."
