The day of filming passed quickly.
"Night God, shall I take you home?" Teng Yue turned his head to look at the girl next to him who was replying to a message.
Shi Miao lowered her eyelids, her fingers tapping on her phone screen. Hearing this, she looked up at him and said, "No need, someone is coming to pick me up."
“Okay, I’ll wait here with you for a while.” Teng Yue nodded.
Shi Miao put away her phone, zipped her coat all the way up, and said in a casual and lazy voice, "It's okay, you can go first, the person who's picking me up will be here soon."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
After greeting her, Teng Yue turned and walked towards where he had parked his car.
A moment later, he drove up, rolled down the window, and said with concern, "Night God, why don't I stay here and wait with you? It's so late, it's not safe for a girl like you to stand on the side of the road alone."
Shi Miao concealed the warmth in her eyes, her deep pupils both dark and clear. "Really, there's no need. You can go now."
"Alright, I'll be going now. Let's get together sometime, Han Yan has been talking about it to me for ages."
"Okay, sure."
No sooner had Teng Yue driven away than another car pulled up in front of her.
The rear window slowly rolled down, revealing Cheng Si's handsome yet wicked face.
"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat surprised. She remembered that Cheng Si had finished filming and left long ago.
Why are you still here?
Cheng Si opened the car door and got out, raising his eyebrows slightly. He said slowly, "I was just passing by when I saw you standing pitifully by the roadside."
Shi Miao's eyelids twitched, quite speechless. "So pitiful?"
Cheng Si looked at her face, examined it carefully, and said in a serious tone, "Your little face is so white from the cold, isn't it pitiful?"
Zhao Ting had just replied to a message in the car when he heard this astonishing statement as soon as he got out, leaving him speechless.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
He quickly stepped forward. "Night God, our boss is just joking. Don't just stand there, it's so cold outside, let's get in the car and talk."
Shi Miao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly; this was the first time she had ever met someone as strange as Cheng Si.
Just as I was about to speak, a loudspeaker blared in my ear.
The three of them turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw that a car had stopped behind Zhao Ting's car at some point, and then a person got out of the driver's seat.
Ji Yanchen stepped forward and pulled the girl into his arms. Then, his sharp gaze swept over Cheng Si and Zhao Ting, and he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"We met during filming today." Shi Miao said, glancing up at the two people in front of her, and said casually, "Then I'll be going now."
Cheng Si raised an eyebrow, his amber eyes gleaming with a carefree light. He glanced at the man beside her and asked in a rather nonchalant tone, "Boyfriend?"
Shi Miao gave a low hum, then suddenly realized something, her brow furrowed, and her dark eyes instantly turned cold and agitated.
It wasn't because I found Cheng Si annoying, but because I felt like I was acting a little strange today.
She doesn't know why, but she just can't bring herself to dislike Cheng Si. If it were someone else asking her so many questions, especially someone she'd just met, she definitely wouldn't be as patient as she is now.
Ji Yanchen seemed to sense her change in mood, and his eyes darkened. "Let's go."
Shi Miao withdrew her gaze, her dark eyelashes slightly lowered, her fingers unconsciously stroking the phone in her pocket, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Okay."
......
Zhao Ting watched the car turn around and drive away, and stroked his chin, unable to help but sigh, "I never expected Ye Yu to have a boyfriend, and such a handsome one at that. With looks like that, she could easily crush everyone else in the entertainment industry."
Cheng Si leaned against the car, hands in his pockets, long legs casually crossed, eyes slightly narrowed, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Zhao, is he more handsome than me?"
Zhao Ting's lips twitched slightly, completely baffled by his thought process, and said in a coaxing tone, "Of course, it's you who are more handsome, boss."
Actually, if you really ask him to say who is more handsome, he really can't say. The two are equally handsome, each with their own unique charm.
Besides, the two are completely different types of people and can't be compared at all.
"You have good taste." Cheng Si curled his lips, straightened up, turned around and opened the car door. "Let's go, I'm hungry."
Seeing this, Zhao Ting quickly went around to the side and got into the car.
He got into the car, inserted the key, and glanced at the man in the back seat who seemed to be deep in thought through the rearview mirror. After thinking for a moment, he voiced his doubts, "You don't happen to have a crush on Ye Yu, do you?"
Cheng Si snapped out of his daze and frowned. "You've got your eye on it?"
Zhao Ting coughed lightly and turned to look at him. "I like you, the kind of liking that exists between a man and a woman."
Cheng Si raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled softly, "What are you thinking about?"
He paused for a moment, then said, "She's the first girl I couldn't help wanting to get closer to. Is this what liking someone means?"
Zhao Ting's expression was quite complicated, his brows were almost furrowed into a deep frown. What else could this be but liking someone?
"Logically, that should be the case, but since she already has a boyfriend, you should keep your distance."
Cheng Si crossed his arms, a hint of wickedness in his eyes, and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it enough to just break up?"
Zhao Ting's temple throbbed reflexively, and he hurriedly advised, "Oh my god, you absolutely mustn't do something so despicable as to break up a couple..."
Cheng Si clicked his tongue and glanced at him lazily. "Can't we leave? Do you want me to starve to death?"
Zhao Ting swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, turned around, started the car, and said resignedly, "Let's go, let's go, let's go now."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Shi Miao rolled down the car window, casually draped her slender arm over her shoulder, and turned her head to look at the neon-lit night scene rushing past outside. She seemed quite depressed.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Ji Yanchen glanced at her.
Shi Miao slowly withdrew her gaze, turned to look at him, her clear black and white eyes quite pure, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
The main problem is that she still doesn't understand why she's so patient with Cheng Si, nor does she know what's causing that strange feeling in her heart.
Ji Yanchen's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze fixed ahead, his tone flat, "Because of that person?"
"Huh?" Shi Miao was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized who he was talking about, so he didn't try to hide it anymore. "How did you know?"
"Just a guess."
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes shimmering, and said lazily, "Fine."
The traffic light ahead was red. Ji Yanchen stopped the car, turned to look at her, and asked in a calm, low voice, "So, what's wrong?"
Shi Miao met his deep eyes, thought for a moment, and then told him about her relationship with Cheng Si.
