"So that's how it is." Ye Chu smiled, while giving Ji Juntao a sidelong glance. Gu Wenhua saw Ji Juntao purse his lips at Ye Chu, looking unconvinced.
"General Ji and Ye Chu actually have a very close relationship," Gu Wenhua thought.
Gu Wenhua heard Ji Juntao say to Shi Shan in a smiling tone, "Mr. Shi, I remember you can't eat spicy food, right? I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming tonight. If you don't like it, I can order another table for you."
Shi Shan nodded slightly: "I'm sorry to have bothered you." He neither said yes nor no.
Ye Chu was drooping her head, chewing on vegetable leaves with a look of utter despair.
Gu Wenhua suddenly remembered the days he and Ye Chu spent working together in the office to boost the box office of "The Mute Woman." Ye Chu actually had a big appetite. Gu Wenhua suddenly began to miss those brief days of ordering takeout. Even though the dishes on the table before him were more to his liking than those pre-cooked meals.
Ye Chu eats so much in private, so why does she pretend to be on a diet at the dinner party?
Does this mean that Ye Chu is willing to show her true self in front of him?
Gu Wenhua's eyes lit up, and the world before him suddenly became clearer.
For a fleeting moment, Gu Wenhua's eyes brightened again.
Because of his unattractive appearance, withdrawn personality, and extremely low emotional intelligence, Gu Wenhua had never been in a relationship. However, according to his experienced roommates, if a girl truly cares about you, she will pay attention to her image in front of you. Showing off a small appetite is one way she does this.
Conversely, if she is completely unreserved and undisguised in front of you, it can only mean that she sees you as a sister, a genderless person, a younger brother—or even as nothing.
Does Ye Chu's actions mean that she treats Shi Shan as a man and Gu Wenhua as nothing?
Gu Wenhua mechanically stuffed something into his mouth that he didn't recognize.
The spiciness is actually a form of pain.
Gu Wenhua glanced at Shi Shan inadvertently, and their eyes met unexpectedly. The latter glanced at Gu Wenhua, then casually looked away.
arrogant.
Gu Wenhua was startled by this suddenly appearing word.
Why would he think Shi Shan was arrogant? The other party's attitude was impeccable, and even the occasional witty remarks at the dinner table were just right.
Why did he feel uncomfortable? Neither Boss Ji nor Ye Chu seemed to be feeling unwell.
Gu Wenhua suddenly heard Ji Juntao say in a teasing tone, "There's a saying in Sichuan, 'If you can't eat spicy food, you can't be considered a man.' It seems that little Gu must be a good man in your area?"
Gu Wenhua subconsciously said, "I'm not really good at eating spicy food. I went to study in another city, and my taste has become much milder."
“That’s still much better than us.” Ji Juntao laughed heartily. “Ye Chu was stunned by you just now.”
Ye Chu smiled and said, "Yes. That's really impressive. If that chopstick had gone into my mouth, I probably would have been carried away by now."
The other person's smile was like a fire, gradually burning away the fog before Gu Wenhua's eyes. The whole world brightened up again.
Gu Wenhua was greatly encouraged.
Yes, he is inferior to Shi Shan in every aspect. But there is one thing he will always be better than Shi Shan in!
Shi Shan is definitely not as good at eating spicy food as him!
In other words, Shi Shan will never have another chance to shock Ye Chu like this!
Suddenly, it was as if someone had injected a powerful stimulant into Gu Wenhua's chest. Gu Wenhua smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and filled a large mouthful of meat dripping with red oil, bringing it to his mouth.
Humans are such strange creatures. When faced with an individual who completely surpasses us in every way, we can quickly become a hundred times more invigorated and gain psychological satisfaction and comfort simply by finding one area where the other is inferior. —Even if that so-called "strength" is completely useless.
