As soon as Yang Dongmei left, Zhang Jin went to Ning Qiluo's side:
"Miss Ning, if there's anything you need me to do, just call me."
Ning Qiluo held the Rena Ice in her hands, tilting her head slightly to one side: "You can call me Qiluo, just like Sister Yang."
Zhang Jin scratched the back of his head and said to Ning Qiluo with a smile, "I'm an intern assistant. Since I have no experience, I started as a temporary assistant. I often follow the news in the entertainment industry, and I've also seen some of your news, Qiluo."
Ning Qiluo then asked him, "Do you think I am the same as the person described online?"
Zhang Jin shook his head and said, "Completely different! In real life, you are a very cheerful and easy-going girl. The internet is full of people trying to slander you."
Hearing Zhang Jin's words, Ning Qiluo's smile became even brighter.
"Your words are so comforting. You're a good person." Her smile at Zhang Jin was genuinely radiant.
Zhang Jin scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I was just telling the truth."
"It's so kind of you."
Ning Qilu praised her again.
Zhang Jin became even more embarrassed by the praise.
Just then, Ning Qiluo suddenly slammed the half-full cup of Rena Ice on the folding table with great force.
The sudden commotion startled Zhang Jin.
He quickly asked, "Qi Luo, what's wrong?"
Ning Qiluo glanced at Zhang Jin, then looked away, then glanced at Zhang Jin again, then looked away again, repeating this several times, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Zhang Jin noticed this and asked, "Qi Luo, are you in a bad mood?"
Ning Qilu shook her head, "No," she seemed hesitant to speak, repeating herself several times, but finally said to Zhang Jin, "Actually, I want to eat Zhouji chestnut cakes. They're delicious. I eat them every day. If I don't eat them, I feel really bad."
"Oh, I see. I thought it was something serious. I'll go buy it for you right away." Zhang Jin took out his phone and opened the navigation: "Qi Luo, wait a moment, I'll be right back."
"Wait a moment!"
Ning Qiluo called out to Zhang Jin, reminding him, "The Zhouji chestnut cakes I want to eat are a bit far, on Beixiang Road outside the Fourth Ring Road."
Zhang Jin, who was about to navigate to buy chestnut cakes, was left with the question: "???"
North Alley Road outside the Fourth Ring Road?
That's already considered the outskirts!
It's more than 100 kilometers away from here!
Plus, there's traffic congestion when you leave the city...
"Is it a bit difficult?" Ning Qiluo said listlessly, "It is indeed a bit too far. Fuzai used to often go and buy it for me. You're new here, so I'm a little embarrassed to ask you to go."
At this point, Ning Qiluo gave up: "Let's forget it. I can endure not eating for a day."
After giving up, she started talking to herself and comforting herself: "It's okay, it's just one day without food, it really is okay..."
To be honest, Zhang Jin had a million reasons not to go.
It'll be 8 or 9 o'clock by the time we get there and back, and then it'll be 10 o'clock because of traffic.
but!
He had no choice but to go.
"It's alright, it's not actually that far." Zhang Jin's smile was a little forced. "I'll go buy it right away."
He was about to leave to buy Zhou's chestnut cakes when Ning Qiluo suddenly called out, "Wait a minute, I've decided..."
Those three words, "I've decided," gave Zhang Jin a glimmer of hope.
I'm just waiting for Ning Qiluo to say, "I've decided I don't want to eat anymore!"
But then Ning Qiluo said to him, "I've decided to reimburse your travel expenses. Go and come back quickly."
Zhang Jin: "..."
