24 Chapter 24
A meal made everyone's hearts taste all kinds of things, only the director Ping Baocheng looked confused, he always felt that the atmosphere between a few people at the table was weird, and he couldn't tell the blame, the young people now are too complicated to understand.
The crew officially started filming the day after tomorrow, and the staff was still arranging the filming locations, so Li Qin and they were quite idle, Jiang Yao and Cheng Peiran were busy, and they left after eating.
"Li Qin, you can also try this, the shrimp crawlers here are very fresh." Bai Yiqing diligently picked a few sturdy and fat ones for Li Qin.
"No, you can eat it yourself." Jiang Yao is gone, where does Li Qin still want to continue acting, his mind is now on Jiang Yao and Cheng Peiran being alone in the same room, although he thinks that those two people will not have anything, but he is just uncomfortable, he feels that no one will be comfortable with this kind of thing, it is not that he is careful.
"......" Bai Yiqing was a little embarrassed by being poured cold water, how could her attitude, which was fine just now, suddenly cool down again, she shouldn't have said anything wrong.
After returning to the room, Jiang Yao lay on the sofa in a daze, and she was really panicked.
"You don't matter, do you?" Cheng Peiran was a little worried, and Jiang Yao's face was ugly.
"It's fine." Jiang Yao tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I just haven't put my mentality right yet, and it will be fine in a while." β
"Is it really because of Li Chin?" Cheng Peiran sat opposite Jiang Yao and talked to her, "Could it be that you think too much, maybe he and Bai Yiqing don't have anything at all, it's been a few days since he broke up with you, I don't think it's possible to have a new girlfriend so soon." β
Cheng Peiran has rich experience in defense, and often fights psychological warfare when defending in court, and now he is the same in the face of Jiang Yao, he spoke for Li Qin when Jiang Yao was distressed, and it seemed that he was helping Li Qin, but in fact it had the opposite effect.
For example, if a couple quarrels and divorces, it is best to shut up and watch quietly as a bystander.
If you go to persuade you to leave, and the people really divorce when you turn around, then you will have a good life, and if you are not angry, you may have to sprinkle it on your head; If you don't leave, the other party may think that you can't see her well afterwards and want to destroy the relationship between their husband and wife.
Therefore, most people will choose to persuade peace to protect themselves, and at most the other party will complain and complain about your distress, and people are rebellious, Cheng Peiran's maintenance of Li Qin at this time will only make Jiang Yao more disgusted with Li Qin, and at the same time, he can also create an image of a pure and good person for himself.
His remark really caused Jiang Yao's backlash.
"It's not that I don't allow him to have a new girlfriend, I've broken up with him, no matter who he's with, it's not something I can interfere with, but normal people will show affection to their current girlfriend in front of their ex-girlfriend who hasn't broken up for a few days? Does this mean anything other than provocation? Jiang Yao was very irritable, "He and Bai Yiqing should probably be true, both of them behaved so obviously today, with Li Qin's character, if there was nothing he wouldn't have this attitude, it was obviously a tacit acquiescence, he just did it on purpose to show me, and specially chose the same hotel as us, is it so childish!" β
Cheng Peiran spread his hands, "Uh...... Maybe I don't have a lot of experience in this area, I really don't see it, I thought they just got a little better, like the two of us, after all, they have been working together for so long. β
"The relationship between the two of us and the two of them is definitely different, I can guarantee this, I can see that Bai Yiqing looked at Li Qin's eyes, there is no such ambiguous atmosphere between me and you." Jiang Yao was categorical.
Cheng Peiran: "......" Am I not attractive at all? Don't you see it in my eyes?
It seems that there is still a long way to go......
"Okay, calm down, I'll go talk to Li Qin when I have a chance, if it's true, I'll give him a reminder, some things are really to avoid suspicion, if it's fake, you can clear up the misunderstanding." Cheng Peiran is very considerate.
"No need, senior, you don't have to tell him, he is the most narcissistic, and if you mention it to him, he will definitely think that I am still thinking about him, and I don't know how to secretly rejoice when I look back." Jiang Yao still knows Li Qin, this person is so big-faced.
"Okay then." Cheng Peiran's tone was very helpless, "I don't know how to help you, if you're still bothered, I'll go out with you, anyway, the information hasn't been sent yet, we don't have to be too nervous, it is said that there is a night market near here at night, do you want to go and see?" β
"Okay." Jiang Yao also happened to want to go around and relax, she was not an introvert, she would be suffocated in the hotel, it would be better to go to the beach to vent her emotions, there were still big cases waiting for her here, she couldn't be held back because of emotional problems.
The night in Qingdao at this time is a little cool, especially by the sea, Jiang Yao put on a thin coat when she went out, she wore a white coat, Cheng Peiran was dressed in black, she looked quite a match, handsome men and beauties really attracted people's attention, and people looked at them from time to time along the way.
Some people saw that the two of them were not very close, so they tentatively came up to talk, and the two of them basically smiled and refused, but there was also a little situation, three girls who looked like college students asked Cheng Peiran if they wanted a phone call and surrounded him and didn't let him go.
"Handsome guy, just give me a contact information and make a friend." One of the girls was spoiled.
"Yes, I won't eat you again, add WeChat, and we'll make an appointment to play another day."
"Uh......" Cheng Peiran looked a little overwhelmed, these girls are obviously not reasonable and can fool the past.
Jiang Yao kept laughing on the side, it was the first time she saw Cheng Peiran at a loss, he was usually calm and reliable, he didn't expect to be so bad at girls, it was so interesting.
Who knew that after a while, I heard Cheng Peiran say: "I'm really sorry, my girlfriend will have an opinion, she doesn't like me to make friends of the opposite sex very much." As he spoke, he looked in Jiang Yao's direction.
Jiang Yao was dumbfounded.
"Ah~ I have a girlfriend." Several girls were a little disappointed, they saw that Jiang Yao and Cheng Peiran were not close and thought they were just friends, who thought it was a girlfriend, the other party was so beautiful, no wonder this handsome guy was not interested in them at all.
"Let's go, let's go." The three of them left with disappointed faces, and one of them looked back at Cheng Peiran twice, he was really reluctant to let such a handsome guy go, but it was a pity that he was already famous.
After the three of them left, Jiang Yao glared at Cheng Peiran and asked, "Why are you talking nonsense?" β
"You just laughed at me." Cheng Peiran smiled, "I'm not good at this kind of thing, you see that you don't help me out of the siege and laugh at me, next time I will deduct your bonus." β
"It's too much, senior, you're a fake public servant!" Jiang Yao pretended to be indignant and unconvinced.
Cheng Peiran didn't deny it at all, but said seriously: "Do you know why I want to be my own boss?" No one will take care of me when I am a private person. β
"Hahahaha." Jiang Yao laughed.
"But in the eyes of outsiders, we should look like a good match." Cheng Peiran walked as he walked.
"I don't know, but I can see that there are many men who envy you."
"I can also see that there are many girls who envy you."
"Hahahaha." The two looked at each other and smiled, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel brisk, "We are both so shameless." β
"Then maybe the two of us are really a good fit." Cheng Peiran said tentatively.
"Hahaha, maybe." Jiang Yao didn't take it seriously at all, her mood relaxed, and sure enough, it was right to come outside for a walk.
The night market by the sea is very lively, there are a lot of delicious snacks, and there are some small stalls selling handicrafts, although the two have eaten but still stuffed a lot of snacks, the seafood here is really fresher than A city, and fresh enough, the two of them sat in a seafood porridge restaurant to taste delicious, this shop is very famous, on TV, there are a lot of people at night, the outside of the store is also full of tables, Jiang Yao and Cheng Peiran finally waited for a table of guests to leave.
"I've eaten food stalls a few times, but I've never encountered such a special environment." Jiang Yao looked at the beach under the low fence and was distracted, the beach at night was not very clear, only the waves could be vaguely seen, but the sound of the sea could be heard in his ears from time to time, with a slight salty smell in the breeze, it was not unpleasant, but it was refreshing, and it was the first time to taste food so close to the sea.
The two of them ordered abalone porridge, it is said that the abalone here can be eaten directly after being boiled in seawater, it is very delicious, of course the practice of this shop will not be so rough, but the taste is really good, Jiang Yao is a little in love.
"How's it going, are you feeling better?" Cheng Peiran said while eating.
Jiang Yao nodded, "It's a lot, fortunately, there are seniors by my side, and it's really refreshing to have someone who listens to his own complaints, you won't dislike me, right?" β
"Why, if you don't mind, you can talk to me about you and Li Qin, maybe I can give you an idea, you don't want to be your boss, just treat me as a friend, say whatever you want. The current state between the two of you is very bad, not lovers, but there are no friends, it's so strange, do you want to find a time to make it clear to him? β
"How can I find him, I have already broken up with him, what are you talking to him about? Let him not show affection in front of me? He's sure I'll be a fool. Jiang Yao sighed.
"Do you regret it? Did you ever think it would be like this when you first mentioned breaking up? β
Jiang Yao shook her head without thinking, "There's nothing to regret, it's the same if you choose again, it was wrong for me to be with him at the beginning, but if I had been given another chance, I might not have agreed to him to be together in the first place, and we delayed each other for three years." I want to start over, but it doesn't seem to be so easy, I met such an unreliable person on my first blind date, and I still think about my ex-boyfriend, to be honest, I'm actually a bit too much, right? Jiang Yao said self-reflectively.
"I don't think there's a problem, blind date is not free love, maybe in the process of getting along in the future you will fall in love with each other, forget that a person is not so fast, take your time, there is nothing to blame." Cheng Peiran felt that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Yao's approach, and there was nothing wrong with ending the past with a new relationship.
"Actually, when I went on a blind date, there was really a gambling element in it, thinking that Li Qin didn't want me and someone else always wanted me, but now I think about it, it's actually quite sloppy, and I am very disrespectful to the man, but I didn't expect the other party to be more strange than me." Speaking of this, Jiang Yao also has a bit of a black line, "Sure enough, as you said, senior, everyone will probably meet a few scum on the blind date." β
"yes, actually, that's what I'm talking about from experience." Cheng Peiran began to explode his past gossip, "Do you know why I haven't gossiped until now?" β
Jiang Yao guessed: "Isn't it because you're busy with your career and don't have the heart to fall in love?" β
"Of course not, no matter how busy people are, the time to fall in love must be squeezed out, I also had two blind dates a few years ago, and I was scared, and then I was afraid that my parents would force me to go on a blind date again, so I kept using work as an excuse to delay until now." Cheng Peiran frowned and recalled the past.
Jiang Yao was a little happy, "Hahaha, what the hell is the situation, it makes me happy to say it." β
Cheng Peiran smiled bitterly, "You are too unkind." β
"Tell me quickly, I can't imagine that there are still things that can make you afraid of being like this, senior." Jiang Yao urged.
Cheng Peiran cleared his throat and pushed his glasses, "My first blind date was a sophomore. β
"Sophomore? So early? Jiang Yao was surprised.
"Yes, very early, it was the daughter of my father's boss, she has been studying in the United States, I was scared when we first met, she was going to take me to the hotel that day, I just had a meal with her, I didn't hold hands, I felt that I was a molested white rabbit, and her gender was completely reversed. And at that time, I was an ordinary college student, and I hadn't seen much of the world, and then I was pulled to the door of the hotel by her, and I was so scared that I almost called the police. Cheng Peiran only felt that the past was unbearable.
"Poof, she lives abroad more openly, and she likes you at first sight."
"Maybe, but at that time I was still very naΓ―ve, I couldn't feel the other party's love for me, I just felt that she was very frivolous, scolded her on the spot and left, I didn't care if it would hurt her, now I think about it, my approach is really not appropriate, and it is very difficult for my dad to do, but at that time it did leave a psychological shadow on me."
"I'm embarrassed to laugh, it sounds really hard." Jiang Yao was a little sympathetic to Cheng Peiran.
"yes, and then we met for the second time when I was about to graduate from my senior year." Cheng Peiran continued to recall, "The first impression of that time was actually quite good, it was introduced by my relatives, it was a girl who studied art, very quiet, even if we started dating after the blind date, we both had a good impression of each other, she was very careful, and she spoke softly, anyway, it was the kind of good girl in everyone's mouth, and my parents also liked it very much." β
"Isn't that good, why did you break up?" Jiang Yao listened with relish.
"Because it's really scary." Cheng Peiran was still a little scared when he thought about it, "There are a lot of stray cats in our school, you know, right?" "He and Jiang Yao are alumni.
"yes, that's not the sign of our school, I used to see them running in and rubbing the air conditioner in class when I was in college." Jiang Yao likes small animals, "I remember that there was a three-flowered cat named Agua who was particularly fat, and I heard from my sister some time ago that it was still doing well in school." β
"Yes, I have an impression of this cat as well." Cheng Peiran nodded, "But when I was in school, I was still young, and now I'm an old cat." β
"You go on." Jiang Yao couldn't wait to hear the follow-up.
"She's a senior like me, but she doesn't have as much schoolwork as I do, so she always comes to school to wait for me, and then one time the professor left class early, I wanted to surprise her, and I didn't tell her to leave class early and ran to the pond to find her, we kept dating there, and then you know what I saw?"
"Uh......" Jiang Yao's intuition was not a good thing.
"I saw her abusing the cat under the hidden roots, and she plucked the kitten's hair in a mess, it was bleeding, and she stepped on it with her feet." Cheng Peiran still has palpitations when he thinks about it now, "How could a normal person do such a terrible thing." β
Jiang Yao gasped, oh my God, that's a psychological change. Ahh
"A good girl who looks so quiet and introverted on the outside actually abuses a cat, it is a very small cat, its claws are not sharp, and it has no ability to resist at all." Cheng Peiran's expression was a little angry, "It's completely a psychological change. State. β
Cheng Peiran continued: "Later, I broke up with her directly, she cried for a long time, saying that she was just in a bad mood, not on purpose, it was the first time, and her family also persuaded me, and even said that my parents would do my work, saying that it was just a small animal, and it was very common to kill chickens and fish at home, and it was no big deal." β
Jiang Yao frowned, "This is different, there is a fundamental difference between the reason and purpose of slaughtering food and killing animals, and cats are not used for eating." β
"Most of the people who have a penchant for abusing and killing small animals have the desire and tendency to kill, and we know best in this business, many murderers have a history of abusing cats and dogs, especially those who kill perverted people or serial killings, those who do not commit crimes only restrain themselves because they are bound by morality and law, and their nature is still cruel and cannot be changed, who is not afraid of such people? The thought of the possibility of living with such a person for the rest of my life chills me. β
"......" Jiang Yao swallowed subconsciously, "Okay, compared to your blind date experience, senior, mine is nothing to mention, at least I haven't encountered changes. State. β
"After that, I set a goal for myself, I must find a cheerful and sunny girlfriend in the future, it is best to be smart and assertive, have self-restraint ability, and have a bit of personality, but I can't bear it if I am too maverick."
"That's not a high standard, with your senior, your conditions should be easy to find."
"No, I haven't found it after looking for so many years, it's not right, I should say I found it, she is very good, confident and generous, very likable, but she is not interested in me." Cheng Peiran looked lonely.
"Wouldn't it? Are you still not interested in such good conditions? Jiang Yao didn't believe it much.
"She has a boyfriend." Cheng Peiran smiled bitterly, "A girl like her must be popular, how can I be the only one who likes it." β
"Ah...... That's ......" Jiang Yao felt sorry for Cheng Peiran, "But senior, don't be discouraged, maybe she will break up with her boyfriend one day, maybe it will be your chance." β
"That's what I thought too." Cheng Peiran raised his head, the smile on his face narrowed, "Then I finally waited for her to break up, she is single now." He stared at Jiang Yao without blinking.
"......" Jiang Yao was a little confused, wouldn't it?
When the two were chatting, they didn't notice an acquaintance sitting at the table behind them: Bai Yiqing.
The conversation between the two reached her ears almost word for word.
Bai Yiqing was a little sad because Li Qin was suddenly cold, so she made some disguises to relax, she didn't wear makeup, she wore black-framed glasses, her hair was draped down to cover half of her face, if she didn't look carefully, she couldn't see that she was the cute and beautiful Bai Yiqing in front of the camera, the difference between her before and after makeup was quite big, and it was good without makeup, she was a passerby, and she looked like a relatively beautiful female college student.
She actually came earlier than Jiang Yao and Li Qin, and she sat on the table next to her early in the morning to drink porridge, and when she heard the voice of the chat next door, she looked at it, and then found that it was an acquaintance.
Originally, she was going to say hello, but who wanted to hear Li Qin's name, so she listened to it out of curiosity, and she didn't know if she didn't listen, and she was shocked when she heard it!
Li Qin and Jiang Yao turned out to be a couple before! Although they had broken up, the two had talked about it and she couldn't accept it, and what was even more exaggerated was that she heard that it was Jiang Yao who dumped Li Qin!
Sky! How is this possible, is this woman surnamed Jiang really not talking nonsense? It's already amazing that a little lawyer and Li Qin are in love, and she dumped Li Qin? Why?
Bai Yiqing's face was a little bad after listening to the whole process, if Jiang Yao didn't lie, then Li Qin's performance at the dinner table before would make sense, Jiang Yao thought that Li Qin had a new girlfriend, but in fact, there was no such thing at all, Bai Yiqing was not stupid, she thought about it and understood the cattiness, Li Qin was using her to stimulate Jiang Yao at all, she was still stupid and thought that she had the opportunity to be attentive all the time, but in fact, the other party didn't look at it at all.
Li Qin still likes Jiang Yao, so he is so nervous about Tang Jixiang's words, and he is so excited to hear that Jiang Yao and Cheng Peiran live in the same suite, if he doesn't like it, where would he have this reaction.
Thinking about it further, Li Qin made such a big fuss because Jiang Yao went on a blind date, and everyone knew it, if it wasn't for his liking, how could it be blown up like this.
What is standing up for friends is simply because of selfishness, and everyone has been deceived.
Bai Yiqing felt that she was too ridiculous, she felt that she was a complete fool, she greeted Li Qin every day, the greetings of good morning and good night never stopped, not a day, she didn't believe that Li Qin couldn't see her intentions, but she never explicitly refused.
She took the initiative to pursue a boy for the first time since she was a child, but she didn't expect it to end like this, she really likes Li Qin, she was a fan of Li Qin before her debut, and she was crazy with joy after knowing that she had cooperation with Li Qin, and when she got Li Qin's contact information, she has been cautious to show favor and pursue, but what about the result.
Bai Yiqing held the phone tightly in her hand, she felt a little hateful in her heart, and even wanted to reveal this secret to the gossip media, she could completely spread rumors and portray herself as a victim, which could make Li Qin change from a good person who stood up for his friends to a scumbag who stepped on two boats!
But as soon as this idea came out, it was quickly suppressed, she still liked Li Qin and didn't want Li Qin to be hurt.
It would be nice if Li Qin also liked her, but he liked a person who dumped him, why, why would such a person who didn't know how to cherish be liked by Li Qin.
Bai Yiqing took a deep breath, she sorted out her thoughts, since there was a misunderstanding between Li Qin and Jiang Yao, let's let the misunderstanding go deeper.
She will never return Li Qin to this woman who doesn't know how to cherish it!
Definitely not going to get these two back together!
