Can I have dinner with you?
The wet touch on the palm of my hand began to become icy cold. I couldn’t describe the feeling, but Cen Yuan was here.
The water was still flowing, and the mist began to occupy the window again. He was about to wipe it off, but the person inside moved.
Those eyes contained everything, and with him, it was dizzying.
He opened his lips slightly and said, "Come in."
thump.
It’s not nice to reject an idol, right?
It’s impossible for fans to refuse!
It wasn't until he stood in front of Cen Yuan that Zheng Jijue realized how embarrassed he was. He had no time to regret.
Seeing that he looked listless and in a bad mood, Cen Yuan took a handkerchief and handed it to him, motioning him to wipe his hands.
Zheng Jijue held the handkerchief in his palm, and the soft material immediately absorbed all the water on his hand. He symbolically wiped it twice, hesitating whether to return it to Cen Yuan.
"You didn't sleep well?"
"No." I don't understand why Cen Yuan asked, but it must be correct to say so.
"You still say no, but you have such heavy dark circles under your eyes."
Zheng Jijue touched his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed. What could be more humiliating than being caught lying to Cen Yuan?
"I'm not used to the south. I'm having trouble acclimatizing." Zheng Jijue found a good excuse for himself. "I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I flew back."
Yes, that's right. He just can't adapt to the South. After all, he is from the North.
"Is that so~" Cen Yuan dragged out the last word and did not continue asking. He picked up a piece of crystal clear meat and put it into his mouth.
Zheng Jicue frowned and didn't dare look at him, fearing that Cen Yuan would see through his hypocrisy. He just stood there and watched him eat several chopsticks of the dish.
The feeling of hunger came over me, and I felt a little aggrieved.
"Can I have dinner with you?" he asked quietly.
I assured him again: "I'll pay for it."
Cen Yuan looked at his large table of dishes and didn't refuse directly. "Of course, you can. Order whatever you want."
Zheng Jijue was ecstatic, but he didn't show it. He just pulled the chair opposite Cen Yuan very quickly and sat down, as if he was afraid that Cen Yuan would go back on his word.
"No need, I'll just eat the same thing as you."
"No," Cen Yuan refused. Under Zheng Jijue's puzzled gaze, he made a circle with his hand, "These are all mine. You can't eat them."
His somewhat domineering look was rare, and so adorable that it made people want to touch him. Zheng Jijue looked at him without blinking. After a while, he said with a hint of grievance, "Okay, then I'll order it myself."
The waiter seemed to have noticed it long ago and had already come to the table and showed the menu to Zheng Jicue.
Without even looking at it, he pointed at the dish that Cen Yuan was almost finishing and said, "Give me one of this."
"I'm sorry, the ingredients for this gentleman's dish were delivered in advance."
"So what can you do with your materials?"
“It’s all on the menu.”
Zheng Jijue looked through all the dishes and found none that resembled Cen Yuan's, so he ordered two signature dishes without much interest.
Cen Yuan poured him a cup of tea.
Zheng Ji Jue swallowed it in one gulp.
It's not much better than when they were on a blind date.
"Aren't you filming? Why are you here?" While waiting for the food, Zheng Jicue hesitated and finally asked what he wanted to know.
"Today's scenes have been filmed, and Xie Qi brought me here for dinner." Cen Yuan pretended not to know how he knew he was filming today.
Although he already knew the answer, Zheng Jijue was still unhappy and pursed his lips, "What about him?"
"I left when I heard there was something exciting to watch."
"Just to leave you behind for fun?"
"What's the problem? I'm not going to watch the fun with him just to eat."
Cen Yuan still defended Xie Qi, which made Zheng Jijue feel like he had a lump in his throat and couldn't breathe it out or swallow it, making him extremely sad.
He wondered in his heart, is Cen Yuan a little love-sick?
This is what people say. If you say his partner is not good, he will retort that he is very good?
Zheng Jijue had no doubt that if he really said something bad about Xie Qi in front of him, Cen Yuan would definitely reply that Xie Qi was a good person.
He was very puzzled.
The dishes were served quickly. Zheng Jicue ate his two plates of food and looked pitifully at Cen Yuan as he finished the whole table of food bit by bit, not giving him any at all.
At least let him eat a few bites of each dish during the blind date...
Cen Yuan was not affected at all. If Zheng Jicue were to be fed one bite of these dishes, he would ascend to heaven.
Literally ascending to heaven.
"Is it your brother who has been hanging around your house these past two days?"
Hearing him mention Zheng Xi suddenly, Zheng Jijue tensed up and replied vaguely, "Hmm..."
"Is he married?"
Zheng Ji Jue's alarm bells rang, and he looked at Cen Yuan with an expression of disbelief.
He looked as if the sky was falling, and Cen Yuan couldn't tell what he was thinking. He smiled unhappily and said, "I was trying to say your brother wasn't honest and told you not to follow his example. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm sorry..." Zheng Jijue admitted his mistake immediately and asked hurriedly, "Why is he not behaving himself?"
Did that bastard Zheng Xi do anything else besides those Reuters videos he saw?
"Then I'll have to think about it." Under Zheng Jijue's anxious gaze, Cen Yuan slowly spoke: "First, I pretended to come to see you, and coincidentally, I dropped my keys, then I spoke to me and apologized on your behalf. The next day, I came to see you again, saw me drinking a drink, and said it was a coincidence, do you like this drink too?"
Zheng Jicue didn't expect that emptying Zheng Xi's drinks would give him the opportunity to chat up Cen Yuan. It was simply unacceptable.
"So what did you say?"
"Director Yu sent him away, saying he was disrupting the filming."
I didn't expect this result.
"He's a nice guy, though." Except for his poor vision.
"Director Yu hates anyone who interferes with filming."
Knowing that Zheng Xi was so unpopular, he laughed twice and then stopped abruptly because he remembered that he was also driven away by Yu Xiushi.
But he soon felt relieved. If others hated him, they could hate him, but if Cen Yuan didn't hate him, he wouldn't drive him away.
He stopped dwelling on it and asked about one of the reasons why he came back, "So what do you think about me being on the trending search?"
"It's nothing good to see." Cen Yuan said while eating.
"Really? Everyone who knows me says she likes me and asks me if I like her and if I'm interested in her. Don't you think so?"
Cen Yuan raised his eyes to look at him and said seriously, "The fact that she can only watch you secretly during the live broadcast explains your answer, doesn't it?"
Zheng Ji Jue was stunned when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
After dinner, it was still early morning and the weather was cold, so there wasn't a single person on the street. The two of them walked along the street together, and Zheng Jijue was still trying to figure out how to naturally offer to take Cen Yuan back to the hotel.
He followed Cen Yuan, wherever Cen Yuan went he went, until he saw a familiar car and stopped.
"Go back early. You're wearing so little and haven't had enough rest. Don't catch a cold."
I casually asked him where his car was parked at the dinner table. Did I want him to go back and rest early?
I felt bloated in my heart and wanted to spend money on Cen Yuan again.
"What about you?"
Before he could ask whether he wanted to go back with me, a car stopped not far behind Cen Yuan, obviously coming to pick him up.
"You go back first, I'll be later."
It looked like they wanted him to leave first.
Zheng Ji Jue could only say goodbye to him. When the car drove onto the main road, he looked sideways and saw that Cen Yuan had already walked to the side of the car.
Looking at him.
The cold wind blew his soft hair. Everything that happened today felt so unreal, and so did he. It wasn't until he could no longer see him in the rearview mirror that Zheng Ji Jue regretted it. He should have insisted. Even if Cen Yuan didn't take his car back, he could have followed behind Cen Yuan and gone home together, right?
They don't live far away.
She must have been fooled by Cen Yuan's gentleness.
He didn't notice that Cen Yuan's car followed him all the way to the outside of the community before driving towards the hotel.
Although he felt a little regretful, as soon as he got home, Zheng Jicue was attacked by sleepiness. His eyelids drooped. He yawned and had no thoughts anymore. He just wanted to crawl back to his room and sleep.
Zheng Yuanzhou and Xiao Ya had a dinner party today, so they came back from work early to change clothes before going out. They originally wanted to ask Zheng Xi and Wu Liwen to go with them, but Zheng Xi had been missing for the past few days and Wu Liwen was busy decorating the store, so they had to give up.
"What's wrong with your face?" Zheng Yuanzhou came down from upstairs after changing his clothes. He saw Zheng Xi was actually at home. When he sat on the sofa, he noticed that Zheng Xi's face was red, swollen and blue, which was a terrible sight.
Xiao Ya, who fell behind him and wanted to pour a cup of tea, walked around to Zheng Xi when she heard the words. When she saw his face, she touched it with her hand out of heartache.
"What's going on?"
"Does it hurt?"
Zheng Xi was touched and dodged, obviously in pain. Xiao Ya was very anxious.
Zheng Xi comforted her: "It's okay."
"You're still okay even though you're so swollen. Did someone beat you up?"
Zheng Xi didn't say anything, but Xiao Ya had already stood up and started rummaging through the medicine box.
Zheng Yuanzhou thought about how he hadn't been to the company these past few days, and when asked why he hadn't told him, he frowned and asked, "Did you go look for him?"
Zheng Xi did not deny it.
Xiao Ya knew who he was referring to as soon as she heard it.
"What's so crazy about him that he dares to hit you?"
Zheng Yuanzhou: "Don't bother him if you have nothing to do."
His son's face was beaten blue, and Zheng Yuanzhou, as a father, did nothing but say such words. Xiao Ya immediately exploded, "Your son was beaten like this, and this is your attitude?"
That debt collector would only pierce her heart day by day. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't break up this family, right? Xiao Ya thought of Zheng Ji Jue and gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Zheng Yuanzhou didn't take her anger to heart. This was how Xiao Ya acted whenever she mentioned Zheng Jicue, and he was used to it.
"You've been looking for him these past two days?"
Zheng Xi: “Yeah.”
Zheng Yuanzhou didn't ask why he went to see Zheng Jijue, but just said, "Just be quiet."
Xiao Ya: "Ah Xi is his brother, what's wrong with going to see him? His attitude is because you have always ignored him."
She applied medicine to Zheng Xi, her eyes full of heartache, "Look at how crazy he is, beating Ah Xi at every turn. Not only do you not feel sorry for him, but you also say such things."
Zheng Yuanzhou: "He knew he was not someone to be trifled with, yet he still went looking for trouble. He deserves it."
Xiao Ya was unhappy: "What do you mean he deserves it? You gave him so much money, and he beat Ah Xi like this, and he didn't say a word. What? Have you found your conscience? Are you going to be a good father? Doesn't that mean Ah Xi is not your son anymore?"
Xiao Ya had long been dissatisfied with Zheng Yuanzhou. He spent more than 20 million today and nearly 200 million tomorrow, but in the end her son got nothing good and was even beaten.
The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became. She threw the medicine in her hand heavily and pulled Zheng Xi to walk out.
Zheng Xi is in this state now. If he goes out, he will be laughed at. Zheng Yuanzhou quickly called out to Xiao Ya, "Where are you going?"
"Call the police! I want to lock that lunatic up. No, that's not enough. Let him get another mental evaluation and lock him up. I want to see what else he can do!"
"Are you crazy?" Zheng Yuanzhou shouted.
Zheng Xi stopped immediately upon hearing this and refused to let Xiao Ya pull him away, but he was somewhat moved by Xiao Ya's words.
