Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Zi found a ready-made reason. “What are you saying? We’ve been neighbors for two months. Now that you’re leaving, aren’t we going to arrange a farewell meal for you?”
He Meng was skeptical. “Since you say so, it would seem rude if we don’t agree.”
“Anyway, we’ll be waiting for your arrival.” Lin Zi quickly decided on this matter. He hung up without giving He Meng a chance to go back on her word.
He instructed Ji Jun, “Alright, everyone has already made an appointment. 1’11 get someone to buy the food. You can only rely on yourself for the rest.”
Yu Han only needed to go to one production team today, so the filming work was not too heavy. She finished work and returned to the guesthouse before six o’clock.
At this moment, the street lights had just been lit and the fragrance of various ingredients had already wafted out of Ji Jun’s courtyard. He Meng took a deep sniff and various dishes instantly appeared in her mind.
“Looks like our Great Manager Lin has put in a lot of money today.” Just the fragrance of those dishes she had just smelled cost a lot of money. “There must be something wrong with this abnormality. If someone is abnormal, they must be hiding a knife. I keep feeling a little uneasy and think that they are up to something for tonight’s meal.”
Yu Han found her cautious look funny. “In that case, let’s find an excuse to postpone the gathering later. Anyway, we haven’t knocked on the door and entered yet. They probably don’t know that we’re back.”
He Meng disagreed. “It’s rare for Great Manager Lin to treat us to a meal today. How can we not go?”
One had to know that Lin Zi was a money-grubber. Not only was he passionate about earning money, but he was also passionate about being a miser. Hence, it was rare for him to treat someone to a meal. They definitely had to support him.
Hence, He Meng knocked on Ji Jun’s courtyard door first.
“Coming, coming.” Soon, Lin Zi’s voice came from behind the door. He opened the door and stuck his head out to take a look. Seeing that the main characters, Yu Han and He Meng, were all here, he was relieved. He called out, “Come on in quickly. Our dinner is almost ready. Just wait to eat.”
Under He Meng’s covetous gaze, the dishes were served very quickly.
Moreover, the dishes looked very normal. He Meng wondered if she was really thinking too much.
He Meng only gradually relaxed when she was halfway through and saw that there were no problems. She and Lin Zi each took a can of beer and slowly drank it.
Yu Han and Ji Jun did not touch alcohol, so after filling their stomachs, they sat there in boredom.
While He Meng was pouring beer, Lin Zi, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, stood up and said that he wanted to pour orange juice for Yu Han. He pretended to be careless and poured the juice on her.
Although Yu Han reacted in time and dodged, her sleeve was still splashed with a large amount of orange juice.
“Aiya, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I might have drunk a little too much, so my hand wasn’t very steady. 1 got it on your clothes. Do you want to go to the bathroom to clean up first?”
When He Meng saw Lin Zi’s clumsy appearance, she frowned and said, “Why don’t you go back and change your clothes?”
Lin Zi patted his head. “That’s right. You live next door. It’s very simple to go back and change your clothes.”
“Alright, I’ll go back with you.” He Meng had just stood up when the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang. She took it out and realized that it was actually a call from the variety show producer, Ou Cheng. Then, she had no choice but to answer this call.
As she picked up the call, she turned around to look for Lang Yu. Yet, she realized that this guy had actually drunk with Chen Xiang. His eyes were already misty.
Seeing this, Yu Han said directly, “It’s not like I’m going somewhere far away. It’s just next door. Why do 1 need anyone to accompany me? I can go back by myself.”
He Meng waved her hand and told her to hurry back.
Lin Zi gave Ji Jun a look, telling him to act according to the situation.
When Ji Jun saw He Meng walk to the corner to answer the call, he walked out of the courtyard without batting an eyelid. Soon, he bumped into Yu Han, who had already changed her clothes.
Yu Han was curious. “Why aren’t you in the courtyard?”
Ji Jun thought of an excuse at the last minute. “The smell of alcohol is too strong inside. 1 came out to take a breather.”
Yu Han knew this very well. However, compared to Ji Jun’s disgust, Yu Han felt a little craving just by smelling the smell of alcohol.
However, because her previous experience of getting drunk in one glass was too scary, neither Ji Jun nor He Meng would allow her to drink.
Ji Jun invited, “In that case, accompany me for a walk..”
