Xia Wenyan silently opened the last photo, glanced at it, and then looked up at Pei Huai sitting next to him, shaking his head, “No, I think Brother Pei, you look handsome from any angle!”
“…”
Pei Huai’s pupils trembled slightly, then he turned his head away, “Only you know how to sweet-talk me with your flattery.”
Xia Wenyan noticed his ears turning red and smiled triumphantly.
When he and Pei Huai had first met, he thought this senior might be difficult to get along with.
Though he always seemed to smile warmly, it made people feel that his smile and gentleness were just facades.
But after a few days together, he was certain.
It was indeed a facade; the real person was quite reserved.
And he had a soft spot for sweet words, unexpectedly innocent, just a few teasing remarks would turn his ears red like blood.
Xia Wenyan really enjoyed Pei Huai’s company and felt comfortable around him.
When he was at home, his older brothers would say he had a short temper and inevitably nag him about it.
But Pei Huai was different; he could always inadvertently provide him with the most appropriate solution when he was irritable.
Xia Wenyan leaned his head against Pei Huai’s arm and teased, “Brother Pei, if you ever get married, our CP will go ‘sob sob sob.'”
“I’m not getting married.”
Pei Huai blurted out almost immediately.
As soon as he spoke, Pei Huai knew he had been a little impulsive.
He glanced at Xia Wenyan’s surprised eyes and added, “I am a non-marriage type, I have no plans to marry.”
“Uh…” Xia Wenyan hadn’t expected Pei Huai to be so formal, and thought he might have inadvertently hit a sore spot.
He pursed his lips and laughed it off, “Not getting married isn’t so bad, very freeing.”
Pei Huai didn’t look back at Xia Wenyan but turned to look out the car window, as if casually asking, “What about you? Will you marry?”
Xia Wenyan tilted his head and thought seriously, “Probably, but I’m still young now, and besides, getting married late is almost standard in our profession, so I’ll talk about it later.”
“Mhm.”
Pei Huai’s gaze didn’t come back, nor did he speak again.
But Xia Wenyan had a feeling that he didn’t seem very happy.
He opened his mouth, thinking of saying something to cheer Pei Huai up, but after a long thought, he couldn’t find an appropriate reason.
Maybe… cook him some instant noodles tonight to sweeten him up on the set?

That evening, just before school was out, Xu Zhenzhen immediately sprang over.
“Zhaozhao, did you see today’s trending search? It’s been bombshells all day!!!!!”
She couldn’t contain her excitement and grabbed Lu Zhaozhao, shaking her wildly.
Lu Zhaozhao felt dizzy from the shaking, “What bombshells?”
Xu Zhenzhen immediately took out her phone, frantically showing her the trending search filled with “explosion” characters.
“Look! The gentleman Xie Yunzhen has been exposed for cheating, the fans’ prayers for a beating were answered! And then came the Thunder God’s Hammer! Not only did he cheat, but he also has a non-marital child!!!!”
As she spoke, Xu Zhenzhen scrolled through her phone, “Check this out, Xie Yunzhen’s selection of concubines, sleeping with fans, it’s getting messier the more it’s uncovered, and during the time he dated his wife, there were even group activities, my god, it’s like opening the door to amazing and amazing walks right in!”
“…”
What a complete mess?
She raised her eyebrows in speechlessness. She had just thought that Xia Wenjin was going to pull some stunt, only to find out the troublemaker wasn’t her this time.
Xu Zhenzhen walked outside with her arm around Lu Zhaozhao’s, gossipping with stars in her eyes, “Thanks to that legal expert, all the attention on Xia Wenjin’s scandal fizzled out. She wasted her money for nothing, ah hahaha…”
It might have been that she laughed too arrogantly, but Xia Wenjin who wasn’t far away glanced at them, then glared at her hatefully.
Seeing this, Xu Zhenzhen immediately raised her chin and rolled her eyes wildly at her without any reservation.
Xia Wenjin knew she wouldn’t gain any sympathy from Lu Zhaozhao and Xu Zhenzhen, so she quickly packed up her things and left.
“I think that woman, Xia Wenjin, must have some serious problems,” Xu Zhenzhen said, not forgetting to throw a few more jabs as she watched Xia Wenjin walk away.
She had disliked Xia Wenjin from before, and now seeing her openly target Lu Zhaozhao, she was even more irritated.
Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips, “She’s been sick for more than a day or two, it’s not like she just got sick today.”
As the two walked one after another, Lu Zhaozhao seemed to remember something and said, “Zhenzhen, my second brother is coming to pick me up today, why don’t we go out for a meal together?”
She had wanted to invite Xu Zhenzhen for a while now, to thank her.
Unfortunately, she had been preoccupied with matching wits against Xiao Jinglan and Xia Wenjin and never had the chance.
Now that she had time, why wait for another day?
Xu Zhenzhen wasn’t shy either and nodded directly, “Sure, I know a really good dessert shop. Let’s go have dinner first, and then I’ll treat you to bubble tea and cake!”
“No problem!”
The two linked arms and walked to the school gate, spotting the long-waiting Xia Wenqing.
“Second brother!” Lu Zhaozhao waved at him, ready to pull Xu Zhenzhen along, but was stopped.
All of a sudden, Xu Zhenzhen turned her back, with one small hand on her forehead, “Zhaozhao, I suddenly feel a bit unwell, I probably can’t make it for dinner.”
“Then I’ll take you to the school clinic, you…”
“No need, no need. I just need to go back to the classroom and drink some water.” Xu Zhenzhen interrupted Lu Zhaozhao without waiting for her to finish, “Tomorrow, no, another day we’ll make plans!”
After saying this, Xu Zhenzhen ran off like a swarm of bees without a trace.
Lu Zhaozhao stood there somewhat dazed. With the speed that Xu Zhenzhen just took off, it really didn’t match up with the words “not feeling well.”
What was up with her?
It was as if she had seen a ghost.
“Zhaozhao?” Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind her.
Turning her head to look at the approaching Xia Wenqing, Lu Zhaozhao smiled lightly, “Second brother…”
Xia Wenqing raised his hand to touch her head and asked, “What happened? I just saw you and your classmate coming together, why did she leave?”
Lu Zhaozhao shrugged, “I don’t know, she just said she felt unwell, and then she was gone.”
She too wanted to know what had happened.
Xia Wenqing’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, pretending to ask casually, “Was that person just now a good friend of yours? It seemed like you two got along well?”
“Yeah! Her name is Xu Zhenzhen, she’s one of the few friends I have at this school, and she’s really nice!”
Lu Zhaozhao didn’t notice anything off about Xia Wenqing and just happily chatted along.
Xia Wenqing glanced toward the disappearing figure in the distance, his eyes showing a trace of complexity.
Xu Zhenzhen.
Is that the name you’re using to hide out in the country?
His fist clenched imperceptibly, then relaxed as he turned his gaze back to Lu Zhaozhao, the warmth returning to his face, “Let’s go, Zhaozhao.”
