"Brother Ye..."
Tan Xiaomei stomped her feet and acted coquettishly.
Leng Mingye remained unfazed, his expression still cold and indifferent.
"sorry!"
She spoke to Yan Yinran with a reluctant expression and a stiff tone.
Tan Xiaomei knew that Leng Mingye always kept his word, and she was wise to avoid trouble later. She could deal with Yan Yinran later in private.
Yan Yinran didn't say anything, but gave her a disdainful look.
It turns out that the things Aunt Hui taught her to do before were so disgusting. She hadn't encountered them before, but now that she has, she really wants to slap her past self. What a piece of trash!
"Miss, are you alright? Are you burned?"
Leng Mingye walked up to Yan Yinran and greeted her softly, his tone completely different from that towards Tan Xiaomei.
Tan Xiaomei was furious when she heard this; her face turned pale and then purple.
In a fit of anger, she ran out of the restaurant. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't face anyone, which drove her crazy.
"No, thank you for helping me out of that situation."
Yan Yinran observed Leng Mingye for a long time and thought that this man had a pretty good character and was also very charming.
"Yeah, I just can't stand arrogant and domineering people. Be careful, Tan Xiaomei is no pushover."
Leng Mingye kindly gave her a reminder: Tan Xiaomei is a wicked person who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
"Thank you for reminding me."
Yan Yinran smiled and thanked him.
Yan Yinran felt a strong liking for this man and wanted to ask him his name, but she felt it would be impolite, so she didn't.
"Okay, you're welcome. I'll be going now."
Leng Mingye politely left in front of them.
"Wow~ This guy is so manly, and so handsome too. He was so polite to you. You didn't even look at Tan Xiaomei, she was so angry, hahaha! That expression was so satisfying! I wonder if this guy has a girlfriend, I really want to ask for her WeChat..."
After Leng Mingye walked away, Wei Yanyu started to swoon, her eyes practically bulging with hearts.
Yes... he really is quite attractive... Yan Yinran kept looking in the direction he left.
She clearly remembered him queuing for food just now, but now he's left the restaurant? Isn't he going to eat?
"Forget it, he's probably not the type to give his WeChat to strangers so easily. Yanyu, why don't you eat first? I'm going back to my dorm to change."
They still have to rehearse tonight, and she feels extremely uncomfortable being all dirty.
"It's okay, it's okay, we'll go together. We can just order takeout to eat later."
Wei Yanyu quickly took Yan Yinran's hand, and they left the restaurant together.
Back in her dorm, Yan Yinran washed up thoroughly and changed into clean clothes. Suddenly, she felt homesick.
To be honest, she really couldn't get used to the food in S City. On her first day there, she even had a fever because of the change in environment. She didn't tell anyone and silently persevered with rehearsals.
The food culture in City S is so different from that in City A. She could manage to eat it once or twice, but after eating it for several days, she really missed the taste of home.
"Hey, Mom, have you eaten yet?"
After she calmed herself down, she made a video call to Li Shuwen.
"Ranran, we're eating right now, have you eaten yet?"
Li Shuwen answered the call quickly; she had almost finished her dinner.
"Yes, I ate it."
Yan Yinran thought of the scene where someone had thrown food at her earlier, and felt a little wronged, but she didn't show it.
In the past, she would have told her family long ago. Now, she just wants her family not to worry about her. She's all grown up now and needs to learn to handle things on her own.
"Are you getting used to it over there? The food there is quite different from what we eat here."
Li Shuwen deliberately kept them from making a sound. She didn't want her to know about what was going on at home. Right now, she just needed to focus on rehearsing.
"I'm not used to it yet, but I can go back in a few more days."
Yan Yinran pursed her lips and then forced a smile.
"Okay! If anything happens, tell your family. When it's over, Mom will send someone to pick you up in a private plane."
Li Shuwen knew that she was homesick, and that she would experience acclimatization problems for a day or two every time she went to a new city, and she remembered all of this.
Maybe she's just been like this since she was little...
"Okay, Mom, we'll hang up now. I have to go to rehearsal later."
Yan Yinran almost burst into tears upon hearing these words, so she wanted to end the call as soon as possible.
Okay, bye-bye~
Li Shuwen waved in front of the camera, and then, seeing that Yan Yinran also waved back, she hung up the video call.
"Here it comes, Ranran, come and eat some fried chicken!"
Wei Yanyu returned from outside carrying takeout.
"Fried chicken? Honey, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
Besides rehearsals, the instructors also kept track of their weight every day. Each person had a weight loss goal and had to step on the scale every day. Those who gained weight had to be punished with physical exertion.
"It's okay, it's okay. We both meet the standards, so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, we won't be weighed until tomorrow."
As Wei Yanyu spoke, she opened the bag containing fried chicken in her hand.
Yan Yinran shook her head helplessly. Time was tight, so she could only eat fried chicken.

City A
Lan Group
"Baby, are you coming over to my place tonight?"
Lan Jingyan leaned back in his chair and sent her a message; he had just finished his work.
"what?"
Yan Xiluo always felt that things weren't so simple.
I miss you.
I had never tasted fruit before and didn't know it was sweet. Now that I've tasted it, it's incredibly sweet and thirst-quenching, leaving a lingering aftertaste...
Lan Jingyan gave a mischievous grin.
"I think you have ulterior motives. You only parted ways this afternoon and you're already thinking about me?"
Yan Xiluo had just returned to her room and was half-lying on the bed with a pillow behind her back.
"I don't have any ill intentions. I just want to recharge with you... I have a lot of work to do at the company today, and I haven't had dinner yet."
He wasn't lying; he really had been busy the whole time, barely having time to go to the bathroom.
He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
"Okay then, I'll bring some food over later. Be a good girl and wait for me at the company."
Upon hearing Lan Jingyan's words, Yan Xiluo immediately softened.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the company. Love you!"
He was very happy to see that the girl had agreed to come and see him.
Yan Xiluo immediately got up and went downstairs to the kitchen. She planned to cook some simple dishes for him herself and then take them over.
About forty minutes later, she arrived at the building downstairs of the Lan Group.
"Sister-in-law?"
Lan Jingchen had just come down from the company building and was about to go home when he noticed that the girl in front of him looked familiar.
It seemed to be the girl in his brother's phone screen saver, so he tentatively called out her name.
Lan Jingchen and Yan Xiluo had never met.
"Um?"
Yan Xiluo looked up at the sound. Was someone calling her? Looking around, she realized she was the only woman there. It must be someone calling her...
Before leaving, I took a closer look and realized he looked familiar. He looked quite like Lan Jingyan, but he seemed more lively and cheerful, with a sunny appearance.
