I glanced at her again and saw a good mood in her eyes. This was truly torture for me, so I quickly closed my eyes again. When everything went black, I told myself, in a very idealistic way, that it was all fake, that I was fake, that Tie Nan and Coach Ma were fake, that Yang Sisi was even more fake, that we never experienced such a morning, and that Lao Huang didn't even exist in this world.
After an hour's drive, Tie Nan's car finally brought us to the "Golf Garden Hotel." I, who had been pretending to be asleep, woke up Yang Sisi, who was truly asleep. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Are we here?"
"We've arrived. A Manchu Han Imperial Feast awaits you. Hurry up and go down."
Yang Sisi rallied her spirits and got out of the car before we did. I then took the opportunity to say to Coach Ma and Tie Nan, "I've already reserved a table for four at Legendary Crayfish on Yeyu Road. You guys go ahead, I'll catch up after I've finished things here."
The only one who knew the truth, Tie Nan, patted me on the shoulder, gave me an understanding look, and then said to Coach Ma and the makeup artist, "Things are a bit complicated. I'll tell you more when we get to the restaurant."
...
I got out of the car, and Tie Nan drove off with the others. Yang Sisi asked me in surprise, "Why did they leave?"
"The car dealership called and said that a customer urgently needed the car, so Tie Nan delivered it to him."
"Oh, why did Coach Ma and the makeup artist go along too? Aren't they hungry? It would be better if they ate first."
"Director Ma, please show the footage we shot today to the person in charge of the car dealership."
"The makeup artist doesn't need to come along, so why did she leave too?"
"She said she was worried you had a big appetite and there wouldn't be enough food, so she'll come back after you've eaten your fill."
Yang Sisi looked around warily and replied, "You're just talking nonsense. Where did they go?" After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Are you sabotaging your teammates again? I haven't fully forgiven you for the awful things you did to me in Wuhan last time!"
I was speechless. The next moment, a minivan stopped beside us. I only recognized Lao Huang among the people sitting inside. The other two middle-aged men, who looked very wealthy, were Yang Sisi's parents without me even having to think about it.
They must have been stuck in traffic. Even though their journey was shorter than ours, they arrived after us. Yang Sisi noticed the car a moment later, her face immediately darkening, and she glared at me with intense hatred…
...
After the car came to a stop, Old Huang, being the shrewd one he was, got out first. As soon as he saw Yang Sisi, he said with a fawning smile, "Sisi, your parents, Xiao Bao, and I came all the way from Shanghai to see you."
Yang Sisi ignored Lao Huang, but stared at me with wide eyes. After a moment, her face turned red, and she yelled at me, "You scumbag, you lied to me again... Get out of here!"
