Hearing Li Lu's voice, Qiu Mengyun also stood up and said with a smile: "Yes! I was waiting for you to come back. What took you so long? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Lu smiled and said, "After all, we're here to attend someone else's school's graduation ceremony. You, the main character, finished singing and ran off to date a handsome guy. As their manager, I have to stay and greet them!"
"Who goes on a date with a handsome guy? Don't talk nonsense. I just missed the university environment and took a walk around." Qiu Mengyun quickly denied.
Li Lu teased, "Oh? Were you really just taking a stroll? Then why are you two so reluctant to part after you've finished your stroll? Why do you want to stay by this little flower bed to admire the moon and chat?"
Before Qiu Mengyun could say anything, Xia Tian quickly stood up and explained, "Sister Lu, you misunderstood. I saw her standing by the roadside waiting for you, and I was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it alone if some classmates came over. That's why I stayed to wait for you with her. After all, it was me who invited you to our school's graduation ceremony. I would feel so guilty if something unpleasant happened."
After hearing Xia Tian's explanation, Li Lu asked in surprise, "You've been waiting by the road? Why don't you get in the car and wait? That way you don't have to worry about being discovered and harassed by others?"
Xia Tian explained for Qiu Mengyun: "She didn't seem to have brought her keys, so we could only wait outside the car."
Li Lu looked at Xia Tian, then turned to look at Qiu Mengyun and asked very seriously, "Where's the driver, Xiao Li? Shouldn't he be waiting for us in the car? Could it be that the guy sneaked out to watch the show while we were away?"
"Hmph! I told him to stay away from the car before we left. I didn't expect him to be so unreliable. I guess it's time to consider getting you a new driver."
Li Lu thought that the driver had left his post, so Qiu Mengyun had to wait outside for her return. She immediately said angrily that she wanted to fire the driver, Xiao Li.
Hearing Li Lu mention changing the driver, Qiu Mengyun felt embarrassed to remain silent. She quickly stepped forward to clarify, "Sister Lu, don't be angry. This has nothing to do with Xiao Li. I haven't been to the car yet after touring the campus, so I wanted to wait outside for you to come back. It's not because Xiao Li was absent from his post and couldn't get in the car."
Seeing Qiu Mengyun's blushing face, Li Lu instantly understood what was going on. She smiled and said, "I see. You're waiting here for me not because you can't get in the car, but because there's a light bulb in the car that's preventing you from connecting with Xia Tian, right?"
Qiu Mengyun quickly denied it, "No, we were just chatting here."
Li Lu said with an expression that said, "I've seen through you a long time ago," "Don't try to quibble. I think your saying you're waiting for me here is just a pretense! Your real purpose is to avoid going back to the car and stay here to chat with Xia Tian for a while longer, right?"
Qiu Mengyun, whose heart was touched by Li Lu's words, immediately lowered her head in shame. She didn't know what Xia Tian would think of her after knowing the truth. However, she didn't dare to look up at Xia Tian's reaction at this moment. Instead, she whispered, "I feel it's a bit cold outside. Let's get back to the car first!"
After saying this, he ran away at a trot.
Seeing Li Lu return, Qiu Mengyun also returned to the car. Xia Tian immediately said to Li Lu, "Sister Lu, since you're back, I won't delay your return home. Thank you very much for attending today's graduation ceremony. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Li Lu smiled and said, "Okay, Mengyun has been telling me these past few days that your barbecue skills are very good and the skewers you grill are delicious. Next time you treat us to a meal, remember to let me taste them."
After returning to the car, Li Lu laughed and teased, "Hey, what's wrong with our Miss Mengyun? Are you shy? Just now, you were on a date with someone else, and you were so happy when we were walking and chatting. Why are you shy just because I said something casually after the date?"
Qiu Mengyun curled her lips and said, "Sister Lu, stop talking nonsense. You know what's going on between Xia Tian and me. We're just partners. If you keep saying that, Xia Tian will misunderstand you."
Li Lu said disdainfully, "Tsk! What kind of partnership is this? Are you trying to fool the ghosts by burning newspapers at graves? If it was just an ordinary partnership, would he have written a song like 'You Are My Life' just for you? When he was singing on stage, the way you looked at me was almost tearing my hair out. That's not the look you get from ordinary partners."
Qiu Mengyun said somewhat depressedly, "It's true. After chatting with him a few times, I've confirmed that he really only treats me like a partner. If I have to say something, it's probably that he still sees me as an ordinary friend of the opposite sex."
Li Lu was silent for a moment before she began to ask, "I don't know Xia Tian very well, and I haven't had much contact with him. I wasn't there when you two were alone together, so I don't know how he feels about you. But let's put his thoughts aside for now. Tell me the truth, how do you feel about Xia Tian? Do you really just see him as an ordinary friend with some talent, or do you have feelings for him?"
Qiu Mengyun didn't even think about it and answered directly: "What can I think of him? I just simply admire his talent."
Li Lu gave Qiu Mengyun a meaningful look, then said with a grin, "Okay, since you two don't have any feelings for each other, then this is actually quite good. At least, no one of you has any other thoughts, so getting along will be much easier. Otherwise, if one of you is too enthusiastic, then I'll really have a headache."
Li Lu, of course, saw that Qiu Mengyun's words were insincere. As Qiu Mengyun's personal manager, they had been together for ten years, and their relationship was no longer just a work relationship. They were each other's best friends and confidantes, so she knew Qiu Mengyun far better than she imagined. Given her understanding of Qiu Mengyun, if she truly considered Xia Tian just an ordinary friend, there was no way she would have gone on a campus tour with Xia Tian, let alone sat outside chatting with Xia Tian instead of returning to the car to wait.
But things like this needed to be left to nature. At least in her opinion, Qiu Mengyun currently only had some appreciation and affection for Xia Tian. She was far from being completely in love with him, so she didn't need to rush. She just needed to quietly stay by his side, waiting for Qiu Mengyun to need help and offer advice and suggestions.
