After Mo Yanqing finished speaking, there was silence on her end.
Ahri touched the things she had brought back, which were still a little warm. She turned her phone over, sat down on the bed casually, and said, "Well, I'm in the hotel. I just ran into you."
Mo Yanqing looked at Ali, who had a few tufts of hair sticking up from his head, and said, "Wait at the door."
"No, that won't work."
As soon as Ali finished speaking, Mo Yanqing hung up the video.
A short while later, there was a knock on Ahri's door.
Ali, feeling utterly hopeless, went to open the door, only to find Mo Yanqing standing outside.
Mo Yanqing didn't come in. He said, "I just came to take a look. I didn't intend to do anything."
Ahri leaned against the door and said, "Then you should get some rest."
"Um."
Mo Yanqing knew it was very late, so he didn't go in.
However, the way this person pretended to be a stranger was quite convincing, as if the two of them were complete strangers.
Seeing that Mo Yanqing was still there, Ali said, "I just bought some food. I'll share some with you. Do you want some?"
Mo Yanqing did not refuse; he said, "Yes."
But she didn't buy much.
Ah Li looked conflicted and asked again, "Can you eat spicy food?"
Seeing that Ali didn't seem very willing to share the food with him, Mo Yanqing said, "You can eat, and I can eat too. Plus, I'm hungry too, so give it all to me."
Ah Li looked at Mo Yanqing in shock. What had this person just said that he gave him?
Mo Yanqing raised an eyebrow, "Unwilling?"
Ah Li quickly said, "No, it's just that the things I brought back might not be healthy to eat. Why don't you ask the hotel to make some fresh food for you?"
"It seems you really aren't willing to share even a little bit of food with me, Shen."
That's a bit of an overstatement.
Ah Li was a little afraid to look Mo Yanqing in the eye.
Just then, a door opened in one of the rooms, and Ah Li quickly pulled Mo Yanqing into her room and closed the door behind her.
Mo Yanqing watched Ah Li's actions, and after closing the door, Ah Li pressed her ear against the door to listen to the sounds outside.
They were still holding hands.
It's not Shen Changyue.
Ah Li exhaled, she was terrified.
Mo Yanqing moved his hand, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Ah Li and said, "Because of Shen Changyue, you want to keep your distance from me?"
Ali lowered her head, let go of Mo Yanqing's hand, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's eat."
Just now, Ali also bought a few bottles of Coke and Sprite, in cans.
Ali opened the paper bag containing snacks: large chicken legs, kebabs, beef patties, grilled oysters, and crayfish.
It still smells delicious. Ali checked the temperature and it wasn't cold yet.
"Come and eat with us."
Ali took out a few pairs of disposable chopsticks, which the restaurant had given her when she packed the food.
When Mo Yanqing saw that Ali had placed chopsticks and disposable gloves in his hands, he sat down as well.
Ali also said, "This tastes best when eaten hot."
It's alright now.
Ahri picked up the big chicken leg and started eating.
Mo Yanqing was wearing disposable gloves. He also held a large chicken leg and looked at Ali's little belly. Could she really finish all of this?
That's quite an appetite.
After Ah Li finished eating the big chicken leg, she went to peel crayfish. After she finished peeling them, she didn't eat them and put them aside.
Mo Yanqing noticed, and Ali also looked at him and said, "Try this, it's delicious."
"You're eating it all yourself; it doesn't look like much."
Mo Yanqing said that, but he still ate the crayfish that Ali had peeled.
Ah Li breathed a sigh of relief; at least he was willing to eat. He was such a good person; she couldn't afford to upset him.
Just then, Mo Yanqing's phone rang.
Mo Yanqing was also peeling crayfish in his hand. He looked at Ali and said, "Help me catch this."
Ali took off her gloves, answered the phone, and put it to Mo Yanqing's ear.
"Hello."
"Boss, someone has gone to your room."
"who?"
"It seems to be the assistant who was with you today."
"knew."
"Should we find someone to handle this?"
"No need, it's too late. We'll disturb other people's rest. We'll have someone come up and handle it earlier tomorrow."
"Okay, boss."
Ahri helped hold up the phone, so we could hear some of it.
Mo Yanqing looked at Ali and said silently, "You can hang up now."
Ali then took the phone away from Mo Yanqing's ear and hung up the call.
When Mo Yanqing was speaking, he had already peeled the crayfish, pushed it in front of Ali, and said, "Eat it."
Ah Li said happily, "Mo, you're so kind, thank you!"
It's that line again, are you trying to give me a "friend zone" card?
Mo Yanqing smiled helplessly, picked up a bottle of beverage, and drank it.
After the two finished eating and cleaned up...
Mo Yanqing then turned on his phone and projected it onto the TV in his room to watch the surveillance footage.
It was indeed his assistant, Shen Changyue.
Shen Changyue, wearing a bathrobe and with foam still in her hair, pushed open the door and went in without knocking.
Ahri sat to one side and asked, "You didn't lock the door?"
Mo Yanqing said, "I just came to take a look and I'm going back. Someone dragged me in."
Ah Li lowered her head, worried that Shen Changyue would see her and then complain to her.
Mo Yanqing didn't ask for the reason. Instead, Shen Changyue said in the surveillance video, "Mr. Mo, the bathroom in my room isn't working. I'll come here to take a shower."
Then, without checking if anyone was in the room, she went straight to the bathroom.
When the woman finished showering and found that Mo Yanqing wasn't there, she smiled with gratitude and said, "Mr. Mo is truly a gentleman. He knew I was taking a shower, so he left."
