So you still remember that I have a bad stomach,” Chen Lulu laughed as she spoke, “Ji Changge, I thought you had forgotten me.”

Ji Changge no longer looked at her, just put the skewers in her hand on the grill, glanced at the two baskets of vegetables she had chosen, then took up the brush and applied a layer of oil to her hand: “If you really want to eat spicy, slightly spicy is recommended.”

“No, I’m going super hot. Don’t you think I’m just a woman who likes to look for excitement? How can mild hotness be enough excitement to satisfy me?” Chen Lulu looked at her calmly, and after speaking, she sighed, lips tightened.

She would always remember what Ji Changge said when she rejected her: “You rich people like to look for excitement and can afford it, but I don’t like being excitement.”

At that time, Chen Lulu was really so angry. Obviously she was being sincere, but the woman in front of her unceremoniously trampled her into the dust. She was considered to be a flirty thrill-seeker.

After listening, Ji Changge nodded.  After sprinkling some cumin and other powders on the skewers in her hand, she put them in a small tray covered in plastic wrap, walked out from the grill, and turned towards the inside with a lot of food for people at the tables.

She seemed to always be that way, tall, loving to wear dark clothes and Martin boots, with no makeup and an indifferent expression. Her steps were neither hurried nor slow.

After the food was served, Ji Changge came back and looked down at Chen Lulu’s high heels: “I just closed a table and there will be a seat right away. Go ahead. There are quite a lot of people at this point. I guess if you wait much longer, your high heels won’t hold.”

After that, Ji Changge returned to her job.

Chen Lulu looked inside and saw that a table of people had indeed left, and then raised the corners of her lips: “Can I understand that you are caring about me?”

Ji Changge took out a basket of new vegetables, put them on the grill, and dipped the brush in oil: “I care about every diner.”

Chen Lulu raised her chin slightly: “Okay, that is also a type of concern.”

After Ji Changge finished oiling the vegetables, she tilted her head and said, “Did you die back then? Why are you here again?”

Chen Lulu smiled: “I didn’t expect you to remember what I said quite clearly.”

Ji Changge frowned and looked back at the barbecue on hand.

At that time, a table of people in the store asked: “Boss, do you have Coke at room temperature?”

Ji Changge turned her head and was about to respond. As a result, Chen Lulu walked towards the freezer, crouched down, and opened a cardboard box next to her: “Yes, how many cans do you want?”

“Three cans!”

“Okay.” Chen Lulu quickly took out three cans of Coke, put them in front of the guests, clapped her hands, and smiled sweetly: “Here, I wish you a happy meal!”

When the guests saw Chen Lulu, they were shocked by her beauty, and then hurriedly said, “Thank you, your shop is so delicious!”

“It’s delicious indeed. If you think it’s delicious, remember to come often!” Chen Lulu smiled.

After that, Chen Lulu walked to the door of the store again and stood beside Ji Changge.

“I have told you some things very clearly before. You don’t have to think about me anymore, and I can’t give you what you want.” Ji Changge looked at her sideways.

Her voice was the same as her expression, cold and faint. However, like a sharp knife, it pierced Chen Lulu’s chest unexpectedly, causing piercing pain.

Chen Lulu was a little out of breath, but she blinked and smiled sweetly: “I know, don’t you see that you are very busy? What, can’t I help you as a friend?”

Ji Changge just looked at her quietly, her gaze so sharp that it could pierce all her disguises.

Chen Lulu’s raised lips gradually stiffened, and then nodded: “Well, I don’t care about you. I will be a quiet guest.”

After speaking, Chen Lulu turned and walked inside, took a bottle of beer and walked to an empty table.

The moment she sat down, Chen Lulu’s nose began to get sore, her eyes were ringed red, tears fell uncontrollably, and she couldn’t stop anything.

She didn’t know what she was doing. She said yes to let go, she said yes to start a new life, but she ran back. Was she a hopeless M? How many times did she have to be rejected before waking up?

Ji Changge glanced at her back, then turned around to continue cooking.

In the blink of an eye, it was two o’clock in the morning. The shop became empty, and only Chen Lulu was sitting in a corner alone, drinking for a while, eating barbecue for a while, playing with her mobile phone for a while, and giggling for a while. Her laughter was uglier than sobs.

After Ji Changge finished cooking a takeaway order, handed the things to the rider, she withdrew from the grill, discarded the cling film and food residue on the plates, and put them away after cleaning them. Finally, she slowly walked to Chen Lulu’s side.

After hearing her, Chen Lulu looked up at her and smiled: “Are you finished?”

“Well,” Ji Changge sat down opposite her, “I’m going to close.”

“Does time pass so fast…” Chen Lulu staggeringly raised her wrist to see the time.

Ji Changge looked at her for a moment, lowered her head and inserted a straw into the cup of yogurt in her hand, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of her: “This closing time starts now, and it has been advanced.”

Chen Lulu looked at the cup of yogurt, pondered for a moment, and asked with a smile: “Are you going to give yogurt to everyone who drinks too much? I am not an exception, am I?”

After listening, Ji Changge pulled off her earphones, picked up her phone and looked at it: “I’m going to close the door and go home.”

“You haven’t answered my question yet.” Chen Lulu looked at her, her eyes flushed.

Ji Changge was silent for a long time. In order to prevent her from misunderstanding, she said: “Yes.”

After Chen Lulu listened, she felt a bowl of cold water poured over her head, her mind was completely messed up, and her hands were trembling.

“So, you occasionally give snacks to other hungry customers?” Chen Lulu put her hands on her legs and continued to ask.

Ji Changge adjusted her headphone cable and closed her eyes: “I said, don’t expect anything from me.”

Chen Lulu stared at the beer bottle in front of her, bit her lower lip gently, and then smiled again: “I don’t have any. I just want to make sure that I am in your heart, whether I might be different from others.”

After speaking, Chen Lulu sniffled and coughed. She picked up her mobile phone and scanned the QR code picture on the wall: “How much?”

“Ninety-eight.” Ji Changge looked at the pile of beer bottles and most of the unfinished meat dishes on the table.

“Turn you.” After Chen Lulu finished speaking, she grabbed her bag, picked up the yogurt and stood up, and walked out staggeringly.

Ji Changge looked at her back for a while, and after clearing the table, she turned off the lights and went out, ready to go home.

As a result, as soon as she walked out, Ji Changge saw Chen Lulu still squatting next to her store.

“Should I call you a car?” Ji Changge walked to her.

Chen Lulu didn’t speak, she just shook her head, then stood up with the yogurt, and walked erratically in the direction of Huazhi. After taking two steps, she didn’t look very good.

At that time, the roar of a car came from down the street. Under the shining of the white light, Ji Changge narrowed her eyes.

Chen Lulu couldn’t help but stay there. Seeing the car getting closer and closer to her, she couldn’t step out to avoid it inexplicably. At that moment, a hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed her arm, and pulled her to one side!

Staggering back a few steps, her heels smashed, Chen Lulu fell back uncontrollably, but after a while, she did not touch the cold ground, but lay in a gentle embrace. At the same time, a muffled grunt came from the throat of the person below her.

“Thank…” Chen Lulu was stunned for a few seconds.

“You’re so worrying. I’ll send you back.” At that time, Ji Changge’s voice accompanied by all kinds of breathing sounded above her head.

Worry? Chen Lulu turned to look at Ji Changge who was half sitting up. Half of her face was hidden in the night, half of her face was exposed to a street lamp, her brows furrowed, looking worried.

Ye Kehuan returned to the homestay. After taking a shower and drying her head, she wiped off the mist on the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, raised her hand to touch her lips, then closed her eyes, and couldn’t help but recall being in KTV, in that scene.

Jiang Laien’s lips and body were so soft that she was almost completely addicted, wishing to ask for more. Had she become a person like Du Mingan? She used to hate such people so much.

However, she couldn’t restrain her thoughts of possessing Jiang Laien. She really thought about it, and it took her over. Leaning on the edge of the washbasin, Ye Kehuan lowered her head and let out a sigh, forcing herself to stop being so obsessed with Jiang Laien. After turning off the light, she walked out.

Picking up the script, Ye Kehuan lay down on the bed and read the script to be shot the next day a few times. The content to be filmed the next day was that Zhang Haotian and Su He discovered some clues about the boss behind the scenes, and the boss behind the scenes began to produce all kinds of evidence that Su He was the serial murderer.

Chen Fei was really amazing. The progress was amazing. So much could be done in just half a month. If they didn’t make too many mistakes, it was estimated that the work could be finished within two months.

But it may also be because the scenes that were being filmed were still relatively simple. When the scenes that involve action fighting and the like started, it was estimated that the progress would slow down.

Ye Kehuan’s memory was not bad, and she could recite lines quite quickly. In fact, the main problem with her previous bad acting was that the lines in the scenes were either too exaggerated or not emotional.

Later, Ye Kehuan pulled out the script for another film. The movie was called “The Most Beautiful You I Can’t Reach”. It mainly told the story of a beautiful girl named Lu Jiayi who became disabled by an accident one day. With the help of a doctor named Wu Qiyun, she walked out of her haze. The story was about pursuing light and warmth, and at the same time, told the story of a gloomy male protagonist named Yu Junyi who was healed by her smile after meeting the female protagonist, and the two finally got married.

The role that Ye Kehuan wanted to play was exactly the psychologist Wu Qiyun. In fact, she had a secret, that she was actually deep in the closet, and her family was always putting pressure on her to go on blind dates. She even decided to go, and finally met a sweet and lovely girl, Xu Qiao, and finally bravely became herself.

When Ye Kehuan accepted the script, she never expected that she would become the same way so quickly.

Speaking of which, this drama not only portrays love beautifully, but also has a lot of positive energy. Although the director is not well-known, and even has few qualifications, I’m still looking forward to it.

After reading the script for a while, Ye Kehuan raised her head again and looked thoughtfully at the TV opposite her.

Those things that happened that day, like movie scenes, spread out in her mind one by one. At that time, her mobile phone suddenly reminded her that Jiang Laien had posted something, so Ye Kehuan picked up her mobile phone to unlock it and clicked in.

She saw the content that Jiang Laien had just posted: “I really overestimated myself, it’s so hard to cut. Next time I’ll buy the cut ones, regardless of whether they are new or fresh.”

The picture was a pineapple that had been quartered by a knife.

This guy with handicapped hands, even though she can’t even cut apples well, she still dares to challenge a pineapple? Ye Kehuan couldn’t help smiling. Later, Ye Kehuan remembered something. She squeezed her phone again, raised her eyes, fastened the belt of her bathrobe, turned over and got out of bed and went out.

Ye Kehuan stood before Jiang Laien’s door, raised her hand and knocked on it: “It’s me.”

In the next second, the door was opened, and Jiang Laien, wearing a beige suspender nightdress, appeared in front of her.

Her hair hadn’t been completely dried, and it hung on her shoulders and chest, giving her a unique charm, and the fabric of her clothes was soft and skin-friendly, and it made her skin soft and creamy.

Ye Kehuan’s eyes fell on her and it was hard for her to move them away, like they were glued in place.

Jiang Laien had been watched by Ye Kehuan for a long time, and her earlobes were a little hot, so she held onto the door fame and asked softly: “Is that enough?”

“Not enough.” Ye Kehuan said as she approached her.

Jiang Laien released the door, wrapped one arm around her waist, and lightly held her hair in the other. She stepped back, only feeling that the future covered in front of her made her heart severely palpitate.

“It’s so late, are you… What’s the matter?” Jiang Laien held her temple.

“Can’t I visit without worries?” Ye Kehuan closed the door and looked at her sideways. 1 

“I didn’t mean that.” Jiang Laien suddenly looked up.

“Could it be that you are afraid of me getting physical with you?” Ye Kehuan said, holding the corner of her lips.

“What?” Jiang Laien glanced at her, turned around, and walked to the small kitchen next to the door. Holding the pineapple on the cutting board, she picked up the knife, ready to cut.

But at that time, her hand was held by Ye Kehuan. Obviously that touch was very simple, but Jiang Laien felt that she was electrocuted, and some small bumps gradually appeared on her body.

“I’ll cut it for you.” Ye Kehuan stood beside her and said softly.

After Ye Kehuan finished speaking, she drew the knife out of her hand, picked up the pineapple and squeezed it lightly, peeled off the skin very deftly, cut out the barbs, broke it into four petals, and started slicing.

Jiang Laien leaned aside and looked at her slender, white, and well-knotted hands, and then looked at her delicate profile. She only thought that Ye Kehuan’s appearance right then was extraordinarily sexy.

Suddenly, Jiang Laien remembered the dazzling kiss. She couldn’t hold back the thought. She just felt that she had started to overheat from within, but it didn’t dissipate. Could it be that this is the legendary estrus? Facing someone who is not interested in you?

Jiang Laien hurriedly shook her head, trying to get rid of all those terrible thoughts.

“What’s wrong? Where is it uncomfortable?” Ye Kehuan asked.

“Nothing.” Jiang Laien turned her head and tried to smile as perfectly as usual.

“That’s good. This one has been cut.” Ye Kehuan put down the knife and poured the pineapple into the glass bowl next to it.

The pineapple cut by Ye Kehuan was really beautiful, with well-proportioned thickness, and it was not inferior to those cut by professionals.

“Thank you.” Jiang Laien took the glass bowl, put a small steel fork in the bowl, turned around and sat down on the sofa, and put the bowl of pineapple on the coffee table.

“With our relationship, do you have to say thank you?” Ye Kehuan followed her, took a lazy step, sat down beside her, and looked at the coffee table. In addition to the pineapple, there was a small cup of sesame paste.

“If you don’t like it, then I won’t talk about it in the future.” After Ye Kehuan sat down, Jiang Laien deliberately sat a little farther away from her, pulling out a safe distance to avoid falling into her own desires.

Ye Kehuan frowned when she noticed her move.

Afterwards, Jiang Laien turned her head and asked: “When are you going to the set of that romance movie?”

Ye Kehuan clasped her hands and thought: “This Saturday.”

“Where are you shooting it?” Jiang Laien asked.

She secretly hoped that Ye Kehuan would not be too far away from her. There was probably no cure for her illness. She always hoped that Ye Kehuan would be within eyesight, so she would feel more at ease. Even if she didn’t like her back.

“Zhuangshi.” Ye Kehuan looked at her.

“That’s okay, it’s pretty close, it can be reached by high speed rail in an hour and a half. It doesn’t need to be too hard.” Jiang Laien had been there, and she was familiar with it, and she couldn’t help but relax.

“Yeah, otherwise it would be too much trouble to run between two crews.” Ye Kehuan said with a smile.

Jiang Laien nodded and asked, “What, are you confident in getting a breakthrough?”

“I don’t know, anyway, I’ll take my time.” Ye Kehuan shook her head.

“Then, do you want me and you…” Jiang Laien frowned slightly. In fact, Chen Lulu was right. Ye Kehuan’s emotional scenes were indeed immature, which always made people feel that they lacked a trace of spirituality, and her acting skills were superficial, and she needed to be taught.

However, emotional dramas were very sensitive, and Jiang Laien was afraid that she would accidentally touch a strange switch, causing herself to sink deeper.

“Do you want to…” Jiang Laien hesitated.

“Do you want to say, do you want me to act with you, and then you can give me pointers?” Ye Kehuan said something for her.

Jiang Laien turned the pineapple with a small fork: “Well, if you can trust me.”

Ye Kehuan turned her head and looked at her. After thinking for a while, she curled her lips and smiled: “There are indeed some places I want to ask you.”

“Um… Okay, but it’s too late today. Find a time to come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then you can talk about your doubts, okay?” Jiang Laien tilted her head and looked at her.

“Good.” Ye Kehuan nodded.

“Then, did you make a special trip to cut the pineapple for me today?” Jiang Laien forked a piece of pineapple and handed it to Ye Kehuan.

However, Ye Kehuan did not take it, but directly, tilted her head and bit down: “Came to see if you can?”

Jiang Laien didn’t dare to look at her, turning her head, and took a sip of sesame seeds, “Look at me? See what I did.”

“Did I scare you today?” Ye Kehuan raised her head and asked.

“What are you talking about?” Jiang Laien smiled as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

“After I kissed you, you didn’t look okay, and you kept trembling,” Ye Kehuan put her hand on her lips, “So, I was thinking, are you scared of me or what.”

After Jiang Laien heard her words, her mind exploded again. It was not because of fear, on the contrary, it was a physiological reaction. That’s why I went to the bathroom.

“Where, how is that possible? The shivering was just because I felt cold today. Besides, I am not…” Jiang Laien choked up when she said that.

“Huh?” Ye Kehuan stared at her firmly.

“Didn’t I respond to you too?” Jiang Laien squeezed the small steel fork hard. “What’s more, if I didn’t want to, then how could I let you in? No, not in…”

The more Jiang Laien said, the more she wanted to bite off her tongue, and the more she said, the more dirty she felt, so she finally turned her head away.

After looking at her for a while, Ye Kehuan leaned over again, pinched her chin, and turned her face to her side.

Jiang Laien hadn’t expected Ye Kehuan to behave like that, and didn’t know what she was thinking, the cells all over her body becoming agitated.

After that, Ye Kehuan continued to approach her, staring down at her lips, only to feel that hers became dry again: “In fact, there is one thing I haven’t said.”

“What?” Jiang Laien squeezed her hand. On the one hand, Ye Kehuan’s appearance and behavior at that moment were extremely ambiguous, scratching her heart directly. On the other hand, she always remembered that Ye Kehuan said that she would not like her.

“When I was in Morikawa, once I was drunk and you took me back, and then I had a dream that night.” Ye Kehuan looked at her, and finally spoke out her absurd dream. “In my dream, you took the initiative to kiss me and asked me if I liked it.”

She wanted to know how Jiang Laien would react if she knew that she had that kind of dream about her.

When Jiang Laien listened, her brain suddenly went blank. What did Ye Kehuan mean? Did she realize that she liked her, and realized that the so-called “dream” was actually not a dream, but a real occurrence, so she kept digging for the answer in a roundabout way?

With her mouth slightly opened, Jiang Laien lowered her eyes. After a long time, she said: “Since it was a dream, you can’t take it seriously.”

After Ye Kehuan listened, she moved closer to her. In an instant, the two broke through the safe distance again. Their breaths were intertwined, and sparks seemed to burst in the air.

Jiang Laien gulped, staring at Ye Kehuan, and opened her mouth slightly: “What do you want to do…”

“What do you think I want to do?” Ye Kehuan looked into her eyes and spoke in a low voice.
