Ye Zhizhou looked up and noticed Du Jiarui's expression. He suddenly felt a little relieved and agreed to Cen Yuzhou's invitation.
Although Cen Yuzhou's acting skills are not as good as those of veteran actresses like Shao Yue, they are much better than Du Jiarui's. The overall effect of their collaboration was actually quite good.
The scene they're working on involves a brother and sister arguing about who they should live with after their parents' divorce. Ye Zhizhou plays the younger sister who wants to stay with her mother, while Cen Yuzhou, the older brother, wants to stay with his father.
After the argument, the two ended up sitting together and crying.
Ye Zhizhou was very engaged in the performance; tears still welled up in her eyes when it ended.
Cen Yuzhou seemed to have gotten so into character that he remained immersed in the role even after it ended, and it took him a long time to recover.
Here's a tissue.
Ye Zhizhou handed Cen Yuzhou a tissue. She hadn't expected Cen Yuzhou to portray this emotional scene so well; his emotional empathy was spot on.
Cen Yuzhou took the tissue and said, "I'm sorry, I always like to immerse myself in things, I lost my composure."
His crying scene surprised Ye Zhizhou. Men are not naturally good at crying, so Cen Yuzhou's performance was unexpected.
Ye Zhizhou wasn't surprised at all that he was a child star; in fact, he thought he had a promising future.
"You acted very well. I would be very happy to act with you."
Cen Yuzhou wiped away the remaining tears on his face and was very happy to hear Ye Zhizhou's approval.
"Now that we've already worked together as co-stars, would you do me the honor of having lunch together?"
Ye Zhizhou was taken aback. Why was Cen Yuzhou so insistent on inviting her to dinner?
"Sure, but I might have to bring my family."
A look of surprise appeared on Cen Yuzhou's face. "Family members? Who are they?"
Ye Zhizhou smiled, "My boyfriend, Qin Xuan."
Cen Yuzhou suddenly squeezed the tissue in his hand with increased force, making it even more wrinkled.
"Okay, where would you like to eat?"
Ye Zhizhou thought for a moment, "It's up to you. Anywhere is fine. I don't have any dietary restrictions."
She hadn't originally planned to bring Qin Xuan along, but since Qin Xuan was coming to pick her up, she figured it was better to let the two of them meet and clear up any misunderstandings than to make Qin Xuan jealous.
Cen Yuzhou seemed to have shifted his attention to his phone, scrolling through it for a while.
"Let's go to this Cantonese restaurant. I go there often, and the food is very good."
Ye Zhizhou nodded in agreement.
"Everyone did a good job today. Except for a very few students who affected our learning progress, the teacher is very satisfied with the overall performance. I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve success in the entertainment industry as soon as possible."
After the teacher finished speaking, the lesson was considered over.
"Ye Zhizhou, um... should we go over there first or wait for Qin Xuan to arrive?"
When Cen Yuzhou mentioned Qin Xuan's name, he deliberately softened his voice.
He didn't actually dislike Qin Xuan, but the thought that Qin Xuan was Ye Zhizhou's boyfriend filled him with disappointment.
Ye Zhizhou packed his things into his backpack. "He should be waiting outside right now. Let's go out and have him take us directly to the restaurant."
After she finished speaking, she walked straight outside, with Cen Yuzhou following closely behind her, feeling uneasy.
"Qin Xuan!"
Qin Xuan always parks in the same spot, so Ye Zhizhou opened the passenger door familiarly and greeted Qin Xuan first.
"Hmm." Qin Xuan's reply was as brief as ever, but with a faint smile on his face.
Upon seeing Cen Yuzhou behind Ye Zhizhou, the smile on his face vanished instantly.
“Cen Yuzhou said he would treat us to dinner, so I thought I might as well just drive there.”
Ye Zhizhou explained to Qin Xuan in a very open and honest manner.
Qin Xuan only saw politeness towards Cen Yuzhou on her face, so he didn't make a scene and nodded.
Ye Zhizhou sat in the passenger seat, while Cen Yuzhou sat in the back seat.
He had just sat down when he felt a cold gaze coming from the rearview mirror, and he instinctively met Qin Xuan's eyes.
“Cen Yuzhou, it’s been a long time.”
Qin Xuan parted his thin lips slightly and greeted Cen Yuzhou in a casual tone.
Cen Yuzhou was taken aback at first, then replied, "Mm."
The atmosphere between the two was strange. Ye Zhizhou held her phone and played a match-3 game to kill time while thinking that Cen Yuzhou was normal when he talked to her, so why did the two of them seem to be making a silent film together when they were with Qin Xuan?
She put aside the strange thoughts in her mind and started playing the match-3 game seriously.
The three of them didn't say another word until the car arrived at the restaurant, keeping the silence unbroken.
"Ye Zhizhou, you can order first."
Cen Yuzhou handed the menu to Ye Zhizhou first. Ye Zhizhou took it without much thought, casually ordered a few signature dishes, and then handed it back.
"It's your turn."
Qin Xuan glanced at the menu. "She ordered all my favorite dishes."
Ye Zhizhou: ...
Who was it that threw a tantrum last time we had hot pot?! Men can change their minds so easily!
Cen Yuzhou took back the menu and added a few more dishes.
"Are we going to finish all that food?" Qin Xuan questioned.
