Chapter 21 Taking the opportunity to take advantage of me
Shen Lai opened his eyes slightly.
What?
Have a bowl of noodles with Pei Jingyan?
Out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught a glimpse of the camera in front of the two of them, and Shen Lai quickly realized that Pei Jingyan was so kind, probably because the camera was here?
"No need." Shen Lai always felt a little awkward when he thought about eating a bowl of noodles with Pei Jingyan, "It doesn't matter if I don't eat it."
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Hasn't it been enough that you've taken advantage of me?"
The two knew that Pei Jingyan was talking about what happened in the hotel that night, but the audience in the live broadcast room heard another meaning.
[What mysterious code are you talking about? Tell me quickly!]
[So, Chen Lai often takes advantage of Mr. Pei in private? ]
[I can't believe it, Chen Lai. She looks reserved on the surface, but she's actually a bitch behind the scenes!]
[Don't just take advantage of us in private, take advantage of us in front of us if you have the guts!]
Shen Lai almost choked and his ears suddenly turned red.
Pei Jingyan's words sound too ambiguous, don't they?!
"Come here quickly." Pei Jingyan urged again, "The noodles are getting cold."
Although Shen Lai was reluctant, she was worried that the other party would say something nonsense. In addition, the camera was facing the two of them, so she had to move over slowly like a snail.
Pei Jingyan's lips curled up imperceptibly, "Eat."
Chen Lai was actually quite hungry, so he didn't hesitate to pick up his chopsticks and started eating.
The atmosphere was a little quiet. While eating, Shen Lai suddenly felt that he touched something hard.
Turning his head, he found that his elbow was pressing against Pei Jingyan's chest muscles.
Pei Jingyan glanced at Shen Lai's arm, then at his own chest. His eyes became playful, and his words carried a hint of ridicule, "Miss Shen, are you taking advantage of me?"
Shen Lai's scalp tingled, "No, I was careless!"
She quickly withdrew her arm, lowered her head and continued eating noodles, pretending to hide her inner panic.
However, because Shen Lai had just approached, there was almost no space between the two of them. If she moved at all, she would touch Pei Jingyan.
Shen Lai tried his best to ignore the strong presence beside him.
But Pei Jingyan was sitting next to him, and even if he made a small noise, it seemed to be magnified infinitely to Shen Lai.
Shen Lai felt a little uneasy.
She had to force herself to focus on the breakfast in front of her and eat the noodles seriously.
For a moment, the only sound on the dining table was the clattering of dishes and chopsticks. Pei Jingyan tilted his head slightly and saw Shen Lai concentrating on eating noodles. Her eyelashes were slightly drooping, her nose was upturned, and her cheeks moved as she chewed, like a rabbit eating grass. Her skin was white and rosy and seemed as delicate as a baby's.
Pei Jingyan's eyes gradually became darker.
[Boss Pei, don't think I didn't see you peeking at your wife!]
[You have to sneak a peek while eating, Mr. Pei, please don't be so infatuated! ]
[Boss Pei is a proud man, confirmed. He says: "You're so kind." But he acts: "Give half to his wife."]
[Boss Pei didn't blame Shen Lai at all for taking the initiative to share his breakfast with Wu Qi. Instead, he gave him his own breakfast. How gentle!]
[If your husband can't do what President Pei does in the future, don't call yourself a husband!]
Chen Lai didn't know yet that after their performance in the missions, the two of them actually attracted a lot of viewers who became their fans, so some fans even created a super topic: Neurotic CP!
Of course, this is a later story.
After a while, Yan Rui came back with a medicine bag in his hand.
"I bought you some stomach medicine, take some."
Yan Rui handed the pills and hot water to Wu Qi with a stern face.
Looking at the familiar stomach medicine packaging in front of her, a complex expression flashed in Wu Qi's eyes. Perhaps because of the camera, she did not refuse and accepted it after hesitating for a moment.
Yan Rui's expression softened slightly and he turned and left.
Shen Lai saw Wu Qi staring at Yan Rui's departing back after he left, and his eyes looked a little sad.
Shen Lai quietly approached Pei Jingyan and asked, "Do you think they really broke up?"
A faint fragrance wafted into his nose. Pei Jingyan lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Lai's face so close to him that he could almost see the fuzz on her face.
Shen Lai had no idea how close the two of them were, and his attention was completely on Yan Rui and Wu Qi.
Pei Jingyan leaned back in his chair, straightened his suit, and said in a calm tone, "Haven't you been in love before? Can't you see it?"
"Just because I've been in a relationship, can I tell whether someone has broken up?" Shen Lai said unconvincedly: "You are the president, can you tell whether all the employees in your company are talented or useless?"
She was too lazy to talk to Pei Jingyan anymore. As expected, the fact that they were sworn enemies would never change. If they didn't agree, there would be no point in talking to each other.
At this moment, she heard Pei Jingyan suddenly say, "If it were you, would you give Huo Chilin stomach medicine?"
Chen Lai paused and looked at Pei Jingyan. Her attention was quickly diverted and she no longer cared about Pei Jingyan's ridicule of her just now.
If it was Huo Chilin who had a stomachache, she would wish him dead in pain. How could she be so kind as to buy him stomach medicine?
Seeing Shen Lai's thoughtful look, Pei Jingyan said slowly: "Sometimes, a relationship that seems good on the surface may not be good, and a relationship that seems bad may not be bad."
There was a hint of deeper meaning in the last sentence, but Shen Lai didn't notice it.
Maybe it's really like what Pei Jingyan said, what outsiders think is a good relationship may not necessarily be a good relationship, just like Huo Chilin and Bai Hansui, who are recognized as a couple in love, didn't they have several scandals after appearing on the show?
After breakfast, Shen Lai went to the yard to digest the food. Yan Rui suddenly came over and said, "Miss Shen, I heard that you gave your breakfast to Wu Qi. Thank you."
This was the first time the two spoke on the show. Shen Lai smiled lightly, "You're welcome. We are all colleagues, so it's only natural to show some concern."
Yan Rui had also heard about Shen Lingzhen's affairs. At first, he did not have a very good impression of Shen Lai. However, after what happened just now, he felt that Shen Lai was not as bad as people said on the Internet.
After a brief exchange of words, Yan Rui left.
Shen Lai was about to go back when suddenly a shadow fell from above his head.
Looking closely, it was Huo Chilin.
Seeing Huo Chilin, Shen Lai frowned and walked around him to leave.
Huo Chilin took a step forward and blocked her way.
Shen Lai raised his eyes to look at him with an impatient expression, "Mr. Huo, is there something wrong?"
Huo Chilin felt a little uncomfortable with the cold tone. He said coldly, "You came to participate in the show just to deliberately appear in front of me, right?"
Shen Lai seemed to have heard something funny, and looked at Huo Chilin as if he was an idiot. "I did this for you?"
"Isn't it because I refuse to admit that the child in your belly is mine that you came to Pei Jingyan?" Huo Chilin's face was tense. "Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I decided to participate in this program and you came right after."
Shen Lai raised his hand to interrupt him, "Excuse me, I'll interrupt."
"First, it was Director Miao who invited me to participate in this program."
"Second, I never said the baby in my belly is yours."
"Third, this child is Pei Jingyan's."
Huo Chilin's chest heaved violently. "I don't believe it. How could you be with him?"
He knew how much Shen Lai hated Pei Jingyan. Even if Pei Jingyan used threats or bribes, Shen Lai would never be with him!
Shen Lai's face was calm. "Hasn't Mr. Huo seen the photos from that night? Or is it that your eyesight is not good and you need to see an ophthalmologist?"
Seeing that Shen Lai's expression didn't seem like he was joking, Huo Chilin almost squeezed out a voice from between his teeth, "Did you deliberately have sex with him just to piss me off?"
"Okay, if you're trying to piss me off, I tell you, you succeeded."
"Mr. Huo, don't take yourself so seriously." Shen Lai didn't know where Huo Chilin got his confidence from, and sneered, "Do you think you're a fairy? Even after breaking up, I still miss you?"
"From the moment you proposed breaking up, we have no relationship at all."
Without wasting any more time, she shook off Huo Qilin's hand and left.
Not long after Shen Lai returned to the villa, Guo Qilin also came back. He looked unhappy, as if someone owed him millions.
Bai Hansui noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked curiously, "Chi Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Chilin's tone was a little cold, "It's okay."
Bai Hansui paused and subconsciously looked in the direction of Chen Lai. It seemed that the two of them had just returned one after the other.
As if she had vaguely sensed something, she bit her lower lip tightly, leaving a tooth mark because she bit it too hard.
At this moment, Director Miao announced the task for today's lunch: to recreate the first encounter!
"Four groups of guests need to work together to piece together, recall and re-enact the scene of their first meeting."
"This is also a good opportunity to dispel the outside world's misunderstandings about you and prove your love for each other!"
After all, how could a person in love not remember the scene of their first meeting with their lover? This question is a free point question.
[If someone fails this mission, it can be confirmed that they are a fake couple, right?]
[Of course. Not to mention my lovers, I remember every person I hate clearly.]
[I suddenly became curious, who will be the loser today? ]
Still follow the old rules and draw lots in order.
The first group to play in this draw was Yan Wu's group, followed by Huo Bai's group, Pei Chen's group, and Dai Tong's group, respectively.
In order to prevent the guests from cheating, Director Miao deliberately separated the men and women into two sides, and no communication was allowed during the period, otherwise it would be regarded as cheating and the qualification for the task would be cancelled.
When the production crew was cleaning up the venue, Shen Lai noticed Wu Qi beside him and asked, "Ms. Wu, is your stomachache better?"
After what happened in the morning, Wu Qi had a much better impression of Shen Lai and said gratefully, "Much better. Thank you for the noodles this morning."
Shen Lai smiled slightly.
Soon Wu Qi came on stage. Shen Lai was about to watch their performance when Bai Hansui's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Lai Lai, I heard that you and Mr. Pei have known each other since childhood. It's been so long, you must have forgotten the scene of your first meeting, right?"
Chen Lai turned around and saw Bai Hansui looking at her with a smile, as if what happened before had never happened.
Shen Lai retracted his gaze and said in a cold tone: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Bai Hansui looked worried. "I care about you, too. You asked Mr. Pei to accompany you on the show to act, but you two are not a real couple after all. It will be exposed sooner or later."
Shen Lai sneered, "Miss Bai, you are quite shameless. You blocked me and acted as if nothing happened. Why didn't I realize you were so shameless before?"
Bai Hansui bit her lower lip lightly, "Lai Lai, you misunderstood. I never blocked you. It was you who deleted me."
Chen Lai was too lazy to argue with her. Bai Hansui was someone who could turn the tables even after breaking up with her. She wouldn't admit it even if the evidence was placed in front of her. There was no need to waste time.
Seeing that Chen Lai didn't even look at her, Bai Hansui caught a glimpse of Pei Jingyan across from her and changed the subject, "But even if you remember, someone as busy as President Pei should have forgotten your encounter long ago, right?"
Chen Lai's heart moved, she looked up at Pei Jingyan, and Pei Jingyan on the opposite side happened to look over at her.
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then moved his lips.
Shen Lai recognized his lip movements and said, "Spying at me?"
