Qiao Xi opened her mouth, wanting to argue with him, but she couldn’t find the words to do so.
Indeed, what was she being coy about?
It was just that her personality made it hard for her to accept this way.
She couldn’t take out her frustration on Shen Dang, could she?
Qiao Xi was soone’s girlfriend for the first ti, no matter how things were in the past, now that she had a new identity, she had to adapt to it.
Perhaps she wasn’t very good at being a girlfriend yet, but she would learn slowly.
Everyone has to take responsibility for their own decisions.
Just like how she played different roles in different plays, she had to strive and take responsibility for each character.
Shen Dang’s eyes fixedly looked at her, his peach blossom eyes deep, "If you don’t agree, I won’t do anything to you. I didn’t wear clothes because I had no choice. If you don’t want to see like this, you eat first, wait until you’re done, and then I’ll co out."
As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave.
Qiao Xi glanced at his tall figure out of the corner of her eye, and for so reason, she felt his radiance dim at that mont; bubbles seed to form in her chest, giving her a sour feeling.
She was sowhat unwilling to be heartless.
As he took a step out, Qiao Xi abruptly grabbed his wrist.
Shen Dang looked down at the hand that was holding him, his eyes swirling with a thick and muted emotion.
Qiao Xi also looked down, not looking at him.
As she let go of his hand, she said, "You don’t have to do this."
There’s no need to make yourself uncomfortable.
Shen Dang’s lips curved into a slight arc, his voice serious, "I just don’t want to make you uncomfortable."
Qiao Xi, with her head lowered, naturally did not see the change in his expression, she shook her head, "...no."
It wasn’t uncomfortable.
Qiao Xi let out a sigh.
She shouldn’t be like this as a person, right?
And it’s true that Shen Dang didn’t do anything.
And they were boyfriend and girlfriend now, it wasn’t like before anymore.
Besides, the late-night snack was bought by him.
She said, "Let’s eat together."
Shen Dang was silent for a few seconds, as if reluctantly agreeing: "Yeah, let’s eat together."
It must be said, Boss Shen’s tactic of retreating to advance was just perfect.
Seeing Qiao Xi still looking sowhat uneasy, he seed to have gotten sothing.
With the takeout boxes still unopened, Boss Shen personally took action and placed the salad plate in front of Qiao Xi.
Shen Dang peeled the first crawfish, placing the tail in the disposable bowl in front of Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi looked up at him.
Shen Dang bent his eyes toward her, "Eat so more, have you been too tired from filming recently? You’ve lost a lot of weight."
Qiao Xi hadn’t noticed if she’d lost weight.
Every day on set, she didn’t deliberately go on a diet.
It’s just that sotis the boxed lunches didn’t taste very good, so she didn’t have much of an appetite.
Indeed, it seed like she was thinner than before.
Seeing him still leisurely peeling crawfish, Qiao Xi hurriedly said, "I can peel them myself."
"I don’t like crawfish."
Shen Dang said as he placed another crawfish tail in her bowl.
Qiao Xi looked at his actions with so helplessness, "Then why did you order them?"
Shen Dang smiled faintly, "I ordered them for you."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi didn’t know what to say.
He had ordered too much.
"We don’t need to order so much food when it’s just the two of us."
In the end, they didn’t finish everything, but Qiao Xi managed to eat the entire salad plate by herself.
Her belly full, her spirits lifted, Qiao Xi couldn’t fall asleep all of a sudden.
She lay in bed, scrolling through her phone for a while.
At that mont, Shen Dang was staying in another room.
Thinking of the man in the room next to hers, and that this man was her boyfriend, Qiao Xi suddenly felt a wave of warmth.
The feeling of having soone’s company was really nice.
This must be the sweetness of being in love.
...
The next day, Qiao Xi slept until she woke up naturally.
When she ca out of the bedroom, she saw Shen Dang sitting on the living room sofa taking a call.
The man was dressed in yesterday’s suit, his dignity crisp, his long legs crossed, revealing a strip of white ankle.
His voice sounded nonchalant, "Yeah, send the docunts to my email, I’ll look at them later."
Seeing Qiao Xi, Shen Dang gestured to her, said a few more words on the phone, and then hung up.
All the while, his profound gaze stayed on her.
"Did you sleep well?"
Qiao Xi stood in place nodding her head, "Yes."
Qiao Xi wanted to ask if he was busy, but she knew without asking that he was busy.
Yet he still ca from Hai City to et her.
Qiao Xi’s mood was bittersweet.
Shen Dang stood up and walked over to Qiao Xi, stopping in front of her, his handso face revealing a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Qiao Xi tucked her hair behind her ear, smiling at him, "I slept quite well, did you order breakfast?"
"I didn’t know when you would get up," Shen Dang naturally hooked her fingers, "Shall we go out to eat?"
Qiao Xi: "...sure."
After both had put on their masks, they went out together.
Qiao Xi called Bei Bei to join them for breakfast, but Bei Bei refused; she didn’t want to be a third wheel.
Qiao Xi and Shen Dang sat in a morning tea restaurant on the twenty-eighth floor.
Such a scene suddenly reminded Qiao Xi of the tis last year when she had breakfast with Shen Dang after only a few encounters.
So much ti had passed since then.
Their relationship had evolved from strangers to boyfriend and girlfriend.
Neither of them would have imagined such a day when they used to be at odds with each other.
Seeing Qiao Xi frowning one mont, then lifting her red lips with a faint smile, her rich facial expressions made him find her very cute.
"What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Xi looked up at him, smiled, but did not answer; instead, she asked, "When will you return to Hai City?"
Shen Dang responded at a asured pace, "What about you?"
Qiao Xi paused; driving from Mo City to the filming town would take several hours.
She could either leave today, arrive in the town by nightfall, and rest well,
Or leave tomorrow and start filming the next day.
But now Shen Dang was here; it was rare for them to see each other, and she didn’t want to leave him behind just like that.
Qiao Xi thought for a while and said, "I’m flexible; it depends on when you’re going back to Hai City."
Shen Dang looked at her indecisive manner leisurely, his voice casual, "I often travel abroad, but this is my first ti to Mo City. Let’s go out today, maybe see a movie or sothing."
Qiao Xi imdiately thought of the last ti she watched a movie with Shen Dang.
So awkward.
No way they could watch a movie late at night again.
She muttered:, "...okay, we could see an afternoon showing."
Shen Dang’s eyes seed to see through everything; he lazily smiled, "When does your movie co out?"
Qiao Xi had almost forgotten about it.
The movie "Blossoms Old Dreams" was about to be released.
The last few promotions were approaching.
But Qiao Xi was filming and couldn’t make it; she also didn’t want to go.
"Let’s watch another movie," Qiao Xi said.
Watching her own movie with her boyfriend would feel rather strange, wouldn’t it?
