Xie Mi and Xiao Jingxi stood in the elevator without saying a word. For a moment, the silence felt strangely eerie.
The two cameramen huddled in the corner exchanged a silent glance, inexplicably afraid to even breathe too loudly.
[What happened? Why isn't anyone talking?]
[Am I the only one who thinks this atmosphere is kind of weird?]
[Doesn't Xiao Jingxi usually start playing the devoted lover as soon as he sees Xie Mi? Why is he suddenly acting so normal today?]
[Did falling into the water knock some sense into him?]
Xie Mi herself shared the viewers' doubts.
Xiao Jingxi had suddenly turned into a normal person, and her instincts told her it had something to do with his fall into the water.
But she would hold still until he made a move. She wanted to see just what he was up to.
"Do you have any plans tonight?"
Sure enough, barely a few seconds into the silence, Xiao Jingxi took the initiative to start a conversation.
Xie Mi answered without thinking. "Eating."
"What about after dinner?"
"Eating."
"...What about after your late-night snack?"
"Eating."
"..." The corner of Xiao Jingxi's mouth twitched, but, surprisingly, he accepted Xie Mi's nonsensical answer. "You have... quite an appetite."
"It's all right. I only eat one bowl per meal."
[?]
[Girl, seriously?]
[You can fool us, but don't go fooling yourself too.]
No sooner had Xie Mi finished speaking than the elevator doors opened with a ding. They had reached the floor with the buffet restaurant, and she walked out.
Xiao Jingxi wore a complicated expression, clearly still reeling from Xie Mi's claim of "one bowl per meal." His eyes practically said, Do you really expect me to believe that?
Still, he quickly recovered and followed her before the elevator doors closed.
