The timeline is from when Lu Chiyan invited Pei Zeyan and Wen Zhao out for dinner, left early, and returned to the capital with Qin Sili.
Pei Zeyan in a very awkward situation.
Lu Chiyan is so unreliable!
It was Lu Chiyan invited him out for dinner, but Lu Chiyan left on his own, leaving him and Wen Zhao here alone...
It's as if he deliberately wanted some alone time with Wen Zhao.
"Um... are you still going to eat?" Pei Zeyan broke the silence Wen Zhao hadn't spoken for a while and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Wen Zhao paused in his chopsticks, glanced at Pei Zeyan, then placed a piece of fish sashimi into his bowl.
Although he didn't say a word the whole time, the meaning conveyed by his eyes and facial expressions was already very clear.
It was as if she Pei Zeyan: Am I not being obvious enough about what I'm eating?
Well...
Pei Zeyan then realized that he had asked a pointless question.
So, I obediently shut up and dutifully picked up some food and ate a couple of bites.
The more I eat, the more depressed I become.
no...
So Wen Zhao really did come here for a meal?
Now, aren't only he and Wen Zhao left in this private room?
What a wonderful time for just the two of you!
If Wen Zhao truly likes him, shouldn't she make good use of this opportunity?
Does he actually know how to pursue someone?
Does she really like him?
How could anyone eat with someone they like, do nothing, say nothing, and just quietly keep their head down and eat?
Was Wen Zhao lying when she said she had feelings for him?
wrong!
Pei Zeyan then thought about it again and realized that his previous idea was very wrong.
Did he expect Wen Zhao to do something to him?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Wen Zhao had better give up on his idea of him, and it would be best if he really just wanted to have a meal quietly!
Eat up!
Let's finish eating early and call it a day!
With that thought in mind, Pei Zeyan regained his appetite.
He had originally intended to be polite, but now he completely let loose, devouring most of the dishes on the table in no time.
Wen Zhao: "...???"
"Did your agent and assistant mistreat you?" Wen Zhao looked at Pei Zeyan with amusement. "Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd fled from famine."
"How did you know?" Pei Zeyan. "I haven't eaten much these past few days. I only drank two glasses of milk yesterday. I'm starving..."
"Why aren't you eating? Are you trying to control your weight?" Wen Zhao asked.
Pei Zeyan, "Yeah, I'm going to play a cancer patient in a couple of days, and the director wants me to lose more weight... I've already lost eight pounds in the last few days, isn't that amazing..."
"So what are you doing now?" Wen Zhao looked at the pile of meat and vegetables in front of Pei Zeyan, her expression complicated.
Pei Zeyan: "..."
Pei Zeyan blinked innocently a couple of times, finally realizing what was happening.
Holy crap!
He ate it all!
He has to eat less and control his weight before filming starts!
After this meal, I'll probably gain all eight pounds I just lost!
Pei Zeyan was so frightened that he quickly threw down the chopsticks in his hand.
Unexpectedly, just as he threw it away, his assistant Yangyang pushed the door open and came in. " Brother Zeyan, the director said there's a change in the script. The new script has been sent to you on WeChat. Take a look..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yangyang noticed the pile of meat and vegetables in front of Pei Zeyan. She was immediately terrified and exclaimed excitedly, " Pei Zeyan! You're not telling me you ate all of this, are you?!"
Pei Zeyan frantically. "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
After saying that, Pei Zeyan pointed at Wen Zhao: "He ate it all! I didn't eat a single bite!"
Wen Zhao: "???"
Just then, Wen Zhao's assistant, Jiangjiang, came in and happened to overhear the conversation.
