Zong Ao escorted Yi Mu to his place and even offered to help him move his things downstairs.
Yi Mu remembered that Zong Ao had something to do, so he didn't want to trouble him. He quickly picked up his things and got out of the car, then thanked Zong Ao several times.
Zong Ao watched him enter the residential area before lighting a cigarette.
He wasn't the type to take on responsibilities, but Yi Mu was someone he inexplicably couldn't let go of.
Perhaps he was too frail, looking like he could be blown away by the wind.
As for Yao Yan, Zong Ao took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
He himself has multiple sexual orientations and sees everyone as gay.
When Yi Mu got home, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the bed.
This body's physical fitness is still too weak; I need to find a way to exercise more.
Zong Ao's phone call was from Liu Rui.
Three days ago, at the request of her agent, she auditioned for a period drama.
The character is a maidservant to the female lead. Although her billing is not high, she has many opportunities to appear on screen.
In the phone call just now, Liu Rui told Zong Ao that she passed the audition smoothly, but she didn't sound very happy.
When Zong Ao first heard that she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, he actually disagreed with it.
No one knew better than him how murky the water was.
However, Liu Rui seemed happy, as if she had found her direction in life. Since they were not yet in a romantic relationship, Zong Ao did not try to persuade her further.
The two arranged to meet at a restaurant. After Zong Ao arrived at the location, he got out of the car and looked around at the restaurant in front of him.
It wasn't the mid-range, upscale restaurant they frequented recently.
This place is clearly more upscale, with bright and clean windows, and the glass facing the street is so clear that you can see the English menu on the table.
Zong Ao tossed his car keys up and down without making a sound, then stepped into the restaurant.
The waiter, flashing a wide smile, asked him if he had a reservation.
Zong Ao gave Liu Rui's name, and the waiter's expression became even more intense. "Please come upstairs, sir."
In the grand private room, Liu Rui was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror.
Hearing the door open, she put down her lipstick, embraced the waiter affectionately, and gave him a wink.
The waiter closed the door and left. Liu Rui pressed Zong Ao's shoulder and made him sit down.
Just as Zong Ao was about to stretch his body, Liu Rui unexpectedly bent down and kissed him on the cheek.
Zong Ao's body suddenly tensed up, and a shallow crease appeared between his brows.
Liu Rui did not notice his displeasure. She returned to her seat, turned her face 45 degrees to face him.
Her meticulously applied eye makeup exudes a pure and gentle charm that no man could resist.
"Zong Ao, we've known each other for so long, but I've never heard you mention your family. I have a younger sister. What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
Zong Ao lowered his eyelids and stared at the delicate dark patterns on the Suzhou embroidery tablecloth, finding it far more interesting than Liu Rui's fawning smile.
"I live alone; I have no brothers."
Liu Rui pouted, unwilling to give up, and pressed on, "What about the sisters?"
Zong Ao wanted to smoke again.
He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Liu Rui with a half-smile.
With just one glance, Liu Rui sensed something.
She wiped her mouth to cover something up, then revealed the shy and elegant smile she had shown when they first met.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"
Zong Ao remained silent, his heels rhythmically tapping the ground under the table.
Anyone who knows his personality should have gotten as far away as possible by now, but Liu Rui doesn't really know him; she only knows that the atmosphere is a bit awkward.
Fortunately, the dishes that had been ordered arrived at that moment, and Liu Rui served Zong Ao the dishes in a way that was considered flattering.
