Chapter 782 Haoyue Extra (44)
Song Huaiyuan walked over from a short distance away with a smile and greeted Wen Yue: "Yueyue, it's been a long time."
His outfit this time was very different from the casual look he had in T-shirts and jeans or hoodies and baseball caps when recording variety shows before. Now his hair was pulled back, revealing his three-dimensional and handsome features. The royal blue suit he was wearing was well-tailored and clung to his strong body, showing off his slender proportions.
Wen Yue realized what was happening and laughed, "You're dressed so formally, I almost didn't recognize you."
While politely pulling the chairs away for Wen Yue and Gao Yingying, Song Huaiyuan said helplessly, "I just finished a talk show this morning and haven't had time to change my clothes yet."
Gao Yingying chuckled and said, "Brother Huaiyuan, you look great in this outfit, there's absolutely no need to change."
Song Huaiyuan glanced at the gazes that kept drifting in their direction and sighed, "He's handsome, but he's also really eye-catching."
Wen Yue glanced at Gao Yingying, then at Song Huaiyuan: "So you two made plans to have dinner behind my back a long time ago?"
Gao Yingying sighed, "To be precise, this meal was arranged specifically for you."
"What?" Wen Yue was stunned.
“You’re heartbroken, right? I know Huaiyuan is filming a show here, so I thought we could have a meal together to help you get rid of bad luck.” She winked at Wen Yue as she spoke: “Isn’t it said that the best way to forget a painful relationship is to start a new one? I think Huaiyuan is a good guy, so you don’t have to hang yourself on Tang Minghao’s tree.”
Wen Yue: "..."
She glanced at Song Huaiyuan, who was smiling, with a slight fluster, then retorted to Gao Yingying and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, Huaiyuan and I are just friends!"
Seeing that her face was red, Song Huaiyuan smiled even more: "No need to whisper, I can hear you."
Wen Yue: "..."
Very well, this is nothing more than a large-scale social death.
Gao Yingying, however, clearly didn't care at all. She snorted and started poking at the delicious salad on the table: "Who says friends can't be boyfriend and girlfriend? You and Tang Minghao were just friends before, but you ended up dating, didn't you?"
Wen Yue was extremely embarrassed and subconsciously retorted, "That's different."
Gao Yingying was about to press for details on how it was different when Song Huaiyuan interrupted her, "Yingying, didn't you say this place has good steak? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Gao Yingying's attention was indeed diverted. She glanced at the time and said, "Yes, it's already this late. I told them in advance that the steak should be here soon. Wait a moment while I go ask my friend what's going on."
As she spoke, she got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing her leave, Wen Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Song Huaiyuan, sitting opposite her, winked at her: "Nervous?"
Wen Yue always felt that Song Huaiyuan was like her brother, and she unconsciously relaxed a bit when she was around him. She said with some distress, "I really didn't expect that Yingying dragged me here today to play matchmaker."
Song Huaiyuan smiled and said, "That's just her personality. She loves to organize things and can't sit still, but to be honest..."
He looked at her, a serious look in his arched eyebrows: "If you really want to dump Tang Minghao, it's not impossible for you to consider me."
Wen Yue: "?!"
Seeing her eyes widen, Song Huaiyuan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Alright, I was just kidding. You've been in this industry for so long, how come you're still so easily amused?"
Wen Yue: "...You scared me to death, your expression just now was too..."
"You haven't forgotten what I do?" Song Huaiyuan smiled and shook the champagne in his hand: "The title of Best Actor wasn't earned for nothing."
Wen Yue nodded: "I admire you, I admit defeat."
They inadvertently started talking about acting, and the conversation naturally drifted to film. Song Huaiyuan, having been in the industry longer and more experienced than Wen Yue, spoke tactfully and was very approachable.
As Wen Yue chatted, she became engrossed, her face showing a humble and eager-to-learn expression.
Unbeknownst to her, upstairs in the building diagonally opposite them, Tang Minghao was nearly squeezing the fork in his hand until it was deformed.
Across from him, Xu Hai was enthusiastically telling him gossip about their circle, but when he saw Xu Hai's expression that looked like he wanted to start a fight, he was completely dumbfounded.
Following his gaze, he unconsciously looked down and then chuckled, "Isn't this Song Huaiyuan? Such a busy man, how come I run into him eating here?"
"Hey, wait a minute, who's that girl opposite him? She looks kind of familiar. Is she his girlfriend?" Xu Hai's gossip instincts kicked in, and he chuckled, "This Song Huaiyuan is something else. He's gotten a girlfriend without making a sound. If his fans knew, they'd be devastated."
He spoke with great enthusiasm, but felt a chill on the other side.
Sure enough, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Tang Minghao staring at him coldly.
He immediately got goosebumps and subconsciously sat back: "No, I'm just looking at some gossip, why are you staring at me like that?"
Recalling how he had threatened to use a wheelchair at the slightest provocation, his heart skipped a beat. He cautiously probed, "Um... do you have a grudge against Song Huaiyuan? When did you two start this feud?"
Tang Minghao slammed his fork on the table with a loud bang: "Even eating can't shut you up, can it?"
Xu Hai: "???"
What did he say? He just casually gossiped a couple of times!
"What a lousy restaurant you chose." Tang Minghao added immediately afterward.
Xu Hai: "...Didn't you tell me to choose a private Western restaurant because you were afraid of being photographed!"
"Kyoto is so big, is this the only place with good privacy? Just listen to what I'm saying, stop with the nonsense."
Xu Hai: "..."
He stuffed a mouthful of spaghetti into his mouth and then fell silent.
He comforted himself, thinking that Tang Minghao had been suffering from hormonal imbalance for the past few days and hadn't shown a smile. He was like a walking Tyrannosaurus Rex, breathing fire at everyone he encountered.
He's probably middle-aged and going through premature menopause.
Menopause is a medical condition, but he doesn't care about that.
Watching Wen Yue and Song Huaiyuan chatting happily, Tang Minghao couldn't help but feel a surge of restlessness.
He downed half a glass of red wine, and the bitter taste rose up, which only slightly suppressed the frustration in his heart.
You should know that during the few days he and Wen Yue were separated, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and he was like a walking dark cloud.
And then she... so quickly...
He took a deep breath and poured himself another half glass of red wine.
Forget it, Wen Yue has no heart, why would he want her!
Before leaving, Xu Hai went to pay the bill.
He went to the restroom.
Meanwhile, Wen Yue had almost finished eating.
Gao Yingying's steak arrived. She had thought things were going well because the two seemed to be having a good time, but when she sat down and listened carefully, she found that they had gone from discussing performing arts to Western philosophy. She almost rolled her eyes.
