Re-engraving the Spring - Chapter 61

Exactly 11 o’clock.

Chi Qiu took small bites of the vegetable and cheese baked rice in front of him, while Luo Xu ate the pasta on the plate silently.

And Ji Yanchen and Bai Yan, who were beside them, had been dealing with each other prosperously.

“So you’re the second young master of the Ji family!” Bai Yan arched his hand, “I’ve seen your brother, Mr. Ji, at the party before, you two brothers are really good-looking, nice to meet you!”

Ji Yanchen picked up the juice cup and clinked glasses with Bai Yan, polite to each other: “I am a rich second generation who only eats and drinks. I’m not like you. You made your debut when you were a teenager, you’re on the headlines everyday, very popular. Now you are living a retirement life in advance. So envious!”

But once Ji Yanchen finished his words, the whole table fell into silence.

Luo Xu paused, Chi Qiu also froze.

Only Bai Yan sipped the juice in the glass and simply drank out the sense of disobedience of red wine. His interest was suddenly destroyed. He glanced at Ji Yanchen restlessly, and then grabbed the back of his head. He was very helpless: “Are you being sarcastic?”

Ji Yanchen didn’t react.

Bai Yan lowered his head and said dejectedly: “If not…I’m really sorry, you hate me, and I forced you to come over for lunch.”

Ji Yanchen was confused; when did he hate Bai Yan? These words were all privately searched by him on his mobile phone just now. Was this how Bai Yan was introduced on the Internet?

Could it be sarcasm?

But he didn’t chase stars, so how could he know that these might be sarcasm?

Ji Yanchen just thought Bai Yan was easy to get along with, but now he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to stand up in place and leave the box. The good thing was that Luo Xu was a sensible person. He began to smooth things out and asked Ji Yanchen in a calm tone: “Excuse me, what you just said, did you search it on the internet?”

Bai Yan raised his head, his eyes filled with grievances.

This routine was very useful in Luo Xu’s eyes. He stretched out his hand and squeezed Bai Yan’s hand on the table, having a sense of ‘protecting the wife from a demon’.

Ji Yanchen was too embarrassed to admit; Chi Qiu tugged on his coat corner and hinted at him.

Ji Yanchen was full of confusion, Chi Qiu lowered his voice and said in his ear, “Those hot search headlines are all his black material.”

Chi Qiu knew Bai Yan before, and knew that Bai Yan was a vase in the entertainment industry with black material flying all over the sky. After quitting the circle and washing it white, it stood to reason that the fans should also disperse, but some of his black fans still remained.

In addition, the film just released by Luo Xu recently suppressed the box office, which made others very upset.

Because Luo Xu had a background, the other side did not dare to do anything openly, so they put some effort on Bai Yan’s online image.

After all, Bai Yan and Luo Xu were now partners and were closely related. The opposite side was also black, and the sarcastic posts were posted one set after another. It was uncomfortable for the party who suffered because of this.

After Luo Xu’s explanation, Ji Yanchen generally understood the situation and learned that he had indeed said something that had put Bai Yan in a bad mood. He got up apologetically, as if he was strangled by fate. He had never been so embarrassed.

He was about to apologize, but Luo Xu interrupted him: “When Xiaoyan debuted, he was young, simple minded, and had no background. In the absence of a name, he did not want to be bullied for the sake of some resources, so he offended a lot of people. So at that time, people retaliated. There was black material inside and outside, and there were even hot searches.”

As Luo Xu said, he glanced at Bai Yan, and even if his eyes were restrained, it was difficult to conceal the doting in him: “Now, although he doesn’t work in this circle anymore, because of his relationship with me, the slander against him on the Internet cannot be cleaned up at all. So it’s inevitable that Mr. Ji will misunderstand. It’s good to solve the misunderstanding now. Mr. Ji doesn’t need to apologize. ”

Luo Xu’s remarks were comprehensive, and it seemed that he usually explained a lot for Bai Yan’s sake.

Seeing Luo Xu’s love and care for Bai Yan, Chi Qiu’s heart actually grew a little envious.

His partner Lu Ming was considerate, but due to his own emotional indifference, Lu Ming had never looked at him with such affectionate eyes.

If there was no comparison, Chi Qiu would still be foolishly immersed in his own satisfaction.

But today, seeing Luo Xu’s gaze at Bai Yan, Chi Qiu’s heart suddenly became astringent and sour; he could not stop yearning. However, he soon came to his senses and thought he was too greedy.

He clearly said that he was not in a hurry, he had to take his time.

Chi Qiu always believed that one day, Lu Ming would also look at him with such affection, talk to him and defend him.

So, he withdrew his eyes and no longer allowed himself to give another look at them.

The ‘bullying’ that Luo Xu spoke of was probably the usual ‘unspoken rule’ that everyone talked about. He took a look at Bai Yan’s looks and realized in his heart: it’s really dangerous to look this good.

In order to ease the atmosphere at the table, Ji Yanchen ordered a few more desserts and secretly settled the bill first to apologize.

As a result, the waiter came over and told them that the dessert that Ji Yanchen had just ordered on his phone was already sold out. Due to the system that was down, it could not be taken off the shelves in time.

The four people are sitting in the attic of the seaside restaurant on the second floor while the dessert display area was in the glass counter on the first floor, so Ji Yanchen planned to go and choose personally. Considering that Luo Xu and Bai Yan were celebrities, Ji Yanchen only led Chi Qiu downstairs.

Once he reached the staircase, Chi Qiu’s head got big and said in a weak voice, “I’m blind, it’s not quite appropriate for you to take me to pick out desserts.”

“What does that have to do with anything?” Ji Yanchen asked, “Do you want to stay inside alone? I see that the two of them have quite a big heart1心挺大; careless or not paying attention and found nothing.”

Chi Qiu’s impression of Bai Yan and Luo Xiu was not bad, but if he had to face the two alone, he would be a bit cautious.

And after that incident just now, Chi Qiu felt that it would be better to leave some space for them to communicate privately. After thinking about it, Chi Qiu decided to go downstairs with Ji Yanchen.

He did not forget to put on his sunglasses.

Fortunately, today was a weekday so not many people were in the restaurant downstairs. Chi Qiu dawdled in front of the counter to select desserts, deliberately leaving enough time for the two people upstairs. The waiter followed them to jot down their order as well as recommended a few special desserts.

Chi Qiu looked at it and liked it, thinking that the next time there would be an opportunity to bring Lu Ming together. Lu Ming would like it too.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips.

This little thought of Chi Qiu could not be hidden from Ji Yanchen: “Thinking about Lu Ming again, ba?”

Chi Qiu said with a guilty conscience, “No.”

Ji Yanchen disagreed with him: “Mouth says no, heart says yes.”

When they went back, before they pushed open the door of the attic, they heard Bai Yan yell in a fury, without thinking: “What do you mean, ‘it’s time to buy condoms again’? Luo Xu, I just bought three boxes not long ago, and you’ve run out of it? Ten in a box! Even dogs are not as diligent as you! Do you eat them for dinner?!”

Luo Xu was helpless and spoiled Bai Yan so much that he said kindly, “Look at what you’re saying, did I use it without your knowledge? This is a common consumable, didn’t you watch me take them apart one by one?”

Bai Yan felt his fists clenched tightly: “Whoever has used up has some idea!!”

“Xiao Yan, keep your voice down.”

Bai Yan realized that he had lost his temper. He got closer and said angrily: “Anyway, this time you go to buy, I will not go. It’s embarrassing. How long has it been since I returned to China? The clerk at the neighborhood convenience store almost remembers me.”

“Okay, I’ll go.”

“…Forget it, forget it! Don’t go, you are too popular. You can still be easily recognized even if you wear a mask and sunglasses. Let’s shop online.”

Luo Xu never compromised in this regard: “Wouldn’t we still have to wait two days?”

Bai Yan rolled his eyes and almost gave Luo Xu his middle finger: “Abstinence, thanks.”

But obviously, Luo Xu did not agree.

Outside the door, Ji Yanchen held back his laughter and held back his stomach pain, he just wanted to push the door and scare them. As soon as he turned around, Ji Yanchen saw Chi Qiu beside him suddenly frozen, dumbly standing in place, not knowing whether he was shocked by Bai Yan’s bold words or scared by Luo Xu’s ample energy.

Ji Yanchen waved his hand in front of him, “Chi Qiu?”

Ji Qiu was stunned and reacted.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“…Nothing.”

“Are you tired? Do you still want to go to the art exhibition this afternoon?” Ji Yanchen cared about him. “I’ll send you home first if you don’t want to go. The art exhibition will be held for quite some time. It’s the same if we go a few days later.”

Chi Qiu shook his head and squeezed out a smile, “I’m not tired, go in.” He hesitated for a moment and deliberately knocked twice on the door before the fuss inside stopped.

After Chi Qiu went in, he sat down silently, raised his head a few times to peek at Luo Xu and Bai Yan, feeling a bit like eating without tasting the food.2食不知味: basically means worried or downhearted

The four of them didn’t know each other, but now they were a little friendly. Under Bai Yan’s initiative, they exchanged contact information.

After they were full, they dispersed in pairs. One side went to the art exhibition, and the other side went to buy common consumables.

The author has something to say:
Chi Qiu froze.jpg! Why he’s in daze? It will continue tomorrow! Friends who guessed it can leave a message (it doesn’t mean to ask for comments, it’s shameless to ask for comments! Yeah (〃’▽’〃) In addition, Luo Xu and Bai Yan have a book called ‘Legal Relationship’, which can be found in Changpei. But let me remind everyone that ‘Legal Relationship’ was a silly and sweet essay of the outline type that I wrote casually in order to relieve the pressure of my work at that time. It is rather rough! ! Take care! ! Thank you!
