"I have."
"Not yet..."
Jian Liangtong, "..."
Staring at two people, one who said they had eaten and the other who hadn’t.
Xu Jiaren’s ears turned red, while Wang Er chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head.
A year ago, they weren’t that familiar with each other, so eting again after a year inevitably felt awkward.
Jian Liangtong could understand, and she withdrew her gaze from the rearview mirror, looking at Huo Shaojun, "Let’s take them to get so food first."
"Let’s go to Yu Xiangju. Other places might not be open yet," Huo Shaojun said slowly, his voice deep and full of masculinity.
Jian Liangtong nodded, "Okay."
After speaking, Jian Liangtong glanced at Xu Jiaren and Wang Er through the rearview mirror again, only to find them suspiciously staring at the back of Huo Shaojun’s head.
Jian Liangtong’s eyes flickered slightly; she preferred not to introduce Huo Shaojun to them based on the principle of fewer complications.
Besides, if they went to Yu Xiangju, they couldn’t just leave soone alone in the car.
After all, they hadn’t eaten anything themselves the entire day.
But... if she decided to introduce him, how should she explain to Xu Jiaren and Wang Er?
Say he was her friend? Her boyfriend?
Neither seed appropriate.
If she said he was her friend, given his personality, he might throw a fit on the spot.
And if she said he was her boyfriend...
Jian Liangtong felt sowhat reluctant herself.
So after wavering for a while, Jian Liangtong ultimately decided not to introduce him, hoping Xu Jiaren and Wang Er would figure it out on their own.
Hopefully, they wouldn’t directly ask her what her relationship with him was, right?
Unlike Bai Qiao, who had such low emotional intelligence!
...
At a private room in Yu Xiangju.
Xu Jiaren and Wang Er sat next to each other, while Jian Liangtong and Huo Shaojun sat together.
The middle area was left with two empty seats.
From the mont they sat in the private room, Wang Er and Xu Jiaren kept staring at Huo Shaojun, looking bewildered.
Huo Shaojun calmly ordered food, choosing two dishes that Jian Liangtong liked and a vegetarian dish before closing the nu and handing it to the waiter.
A nu was placed in front of Xu Jiaren and Wang Er, but neither made a move.
Jian Liangtong licked her lips slightly and reminded the two, "Go ahead and order."
Xu Jiaren and Wang Er snapped out of it, awkwardly shifting their gazes away from Huo Shaojun’s face.
Wang Er flipped through the nu, randomly pointing to two dishes before handing it to Xu Jiaren.
Xu Jiaren also chose one dish.
He then passed the nu to the waiter.
Xu Jiaren and Wang Er’s gaze involuntarily drifted back to Huo Shaojun’s face.
Huo Shaojun appeared unbothered as if unaware of Xu Jiaren and Wang Er’s eyes on him, slightly turning his eyes to glance at the sowhat uneasy Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong tilted her head to the side, pretending she didn’t notice his gaze.
And at that mont.
The more extroverted Wang Er couldn’t hold back and spoke, "Are you, Huo Tianwang?"
Jian Liangtong’s eyelashes trembled as she took a sip of tea from the table.
Huo Shaojun raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Wang Er and nodding lightly, "Hello."
"..." So it really is Huo Shaojun, Huo Tianwang!
Wang Er’s mouth dropped wide open; it could easily fit an egg.
Even the reserved Xu Jiaren couldn’t help but widen his eyes, staring in shock at Huo Shaojun.
Jian Liangtong lowered her head, sipping tea cup by cup.
"Wow."
Wang Er’s eyes were glued to Huo Shaojun’s face while his arm reached over to Xu Jiaren, "Look at my goosebumps."
Xu Jiaren glanced over and indeed saw Wang Er’s arm covered with tiny bumps.
And he himself wasn’t much different.
"Huo Tianwang, I grew up watching your movies. You are my idol," Wang Er said excitedly, visibly not knowing where to put his hands and feet in front of Huo Shaojun.
Yet that sentence "I grew up watching your movies" didn’t sound too good.
Huo Shaojun is only about thirty-three or thirty-four now, and Wang Er is at least twenty-three or twenty-four, right? Only ten years older, how does one grow up watching his movies? Doesn’t he know how to talk?
Huo Shaojun squinted slightly, with no discernable expression.
"Aren’t you studying music?" Xu Jiaren unexpectedly interjected.
Wang Er, "..."
Damn!
Can’t a music student enjoy watching films?
Xu Jiaren pursed his lips, awkwardly gazing at Huo Shaojun with a trembling voice, "I’ve watched all your movies, your acting is excellent."
Wang Er, "..." He’s a superstar, you know? Do you even know how many awards his films have swept? Would his acting be bad? Do you need to evaluate it?
Jian Liangtong also glanced at Xu Jiaren, seeing his eyes clearly filled with admiration for Huo Shaojun.
From what Jian Liangtong knows about Xu Jiaren, he’s a typical straight guy, introverted, not talkative, awkward personality.
But what he wanted to express was quite similar to Wang Er’s words.
Huo Shaojun glanced at Xu Jiaren without speaking.
Xu Jiaren pressed his lips together, feeling sowhat disappointed.
"Food’s here, let’s eat," Jian Liangtong interjected appropriately seeing the situation.
...
After the al, Huo Shaojun drove with Jian Liangtong to drop Xu Jiaren and Wang Er off at the apartnt Jian Liangtong rented for them in the city.
On the way, Xu Jiaren and Wang Er were even more restrained than when they went to Yu Xiangju for dinner.
Could it not be?
The esteed Huo Tianwang acting as their driver for drop-offs!
And he even picked up the tab for the al!
Can’t underestimate such prestige, right?
Arriving at the apartnt, Jian Liangtong showed Xu Jiaren and Wang Er around, handed them the keys, and prepared to leave.
"Sister Tong, are you and Huo Tianwang a couple?" Xu Jiaren asked Jian Liangtong, staring.
Jian Liangtong was taken aback, hardly able to believe it.
Wang Er didn’t ask such a thing, but Xu Jiaren did?
Jian Liangtong was dumbfounded by the question, looking at Xu Jiaren with a flushed neck.
Xu Jiaren stared unblinkingly at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong took a deep breath, hurriedly saying, "I’ll co by to take you to the company tomorrow, so have a good rest today."
With that, Jian Liangtong turned, pulling Huo Shaojun away from the apartnt.
...
In the car, Jian Liangtong was fastening her seatbelt when she suddenly felt her wrist grasped by a man’s warm hand.
Jian Liangtong was puzzled and slowly looked up, confused, at the man by her side, "Wh-what?"
"So, are we a couple now?" Huo Shaojun asked, his eyes deep as the ocean, fixating on Jian Liangtong.
