Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 85 Why Can’t You Be My Boyfriend?
As dusk soaked into the sea surface like an overturned rouge box, thirty-eight round tables were set up at the open-air stall at the end of the breakwater.

The groundskeeper in flip-flops carried a whole case of beer and shuttled between the plastic chairs. The crisp sound of the proprietress hitting the oysters with an iron hook mixed with the aroma of fried garlic, exploding in the humid air.

"Mr. Jiang, please sit here!"

Yin Zheng enthusiastically pulled open the wicker chair, and the chair legs made a harsh sound as they scraped across the concrete floor.

"Thank you, Teacher Yin Zheng."

Jiang Qing smiled and nodded, without any politeness, and sat down lightly.

Liu Haocun happened to pass by with coconut water, her mint green skirt swaying.

"Be careful with the broken shells."

She came to Jiang Qing naturally, and when she bent down to wipe the chair, the unknown scent of perfume on her body mixed with the scent of sea salt blew towards him.

Jiang Qing subconsciously leaned back in his chair, his eyes swept across the girl beside him, and the corners of his eyes raised slightly.

Shen Teng staggered over with grilled squid in his hand, and his sun protection sleeves were stained with fish scales from somewhere.

"You know, our Cun Cun is very considerate. Yesterday, a button on my Weia shirt broke, and she gave it to someone else with a hairpin."

He deliberately pronounced the word "hairpin" ambiguously, causing the lighting technician at the next table to whistle.

"Brother Teng is framing me again."

Liu Haocun wrinkled her nose at him coquettishly, and at the same time pushed the iced coconut in front of Jiang Qing, with a frangipani carefully pinned on the straw.

"Dr. Jiang also often took care of Ye Zi when they were filming Taohuawu, right? Netizens said it was like filming an idol drama."

After a pause, a hint of smile appeared on her face.

"I forgot to tell Dr. Jiang that Ye Zi and I also know each other. We've run into each other a few times at events before."

"I see."

Jiang Qing nodded in understanding, and then focused on studying the conch in front of him.

Seeing this, Liu Haocun's eyes moved and narrowed slightly.

Zhang Youhao suddenly sprayed beer on Qiao Shan's beach pants, and Liu Haoran raised his phone and looked at Jiang Qing to make a noise.

"Boss Jiang, we were just catching up on the variety show cuts from your Taohuawu! This production crew is messing around! The soundtrack is totally for a romance show!"

The screen flickered to the latest episode of Taohuawu No. 6, which was released. The picture showed Jiang Qing and Zhou Ye doing a staring challenge, and the CP fans' barrage of "Jiang Zhou Yu Huo szd" filled the screen.

“As expected, even without this soundtrack, people would have imagined a lot of the content.”

Jiang Qing turned the glass nonchalantly, and the ice cubes in the beer made a crisp sound when they collided.

He himself hasn't watched it yet, but he heard Zhou Ye complain yesterday about it. The shot of them looking at each other was looped in slow motion for three minutes by the production team.

"But it looks really sweet. How did Dr. Jiang feel at that time?"

Liu Haocun supported his chin and asked Jiang Qingfa.

She stared at Jiang Qing with her eyes fixed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she looked like she was simply curious.

"Just like I'm looking at you now, with a group of people around you, what can you feel?"

Jiang Qing glanced at her with a smile and responded casually.

Of course you will have feelings, provided that you already have a good impression of that person.

Otherwise, like now, even when facing a pair of sparkling eyes, he would not feel anything.

"Yeah, it's all for variety show effects."

Liu Haocun maintained a smile on his face and pursed his lips the moment he turned his head.

Although she hasn't recorded many shows, the look in your eyes can't be considered innocent, right?
At this time, Han Han knocked on the lobster shell to attract Jiang Qing's attention.

"Boss Jiang, for the role of Brother Xiuta, Xiao Ming is actually the right age. Your face is too young, but it doesn't matter. We can achieve the desired effect through makeup."

"for example……"

He suddenly raised his eyebrows at Jiang Qing and raised his hand to gesture above his lips.

"What do you think of adding a beard to your face, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Qing tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that it seemed quite interesting.

"Director Han is a professional. I'm just a layman, so I just have to listen to the director."

He raised his hand and raised the beer glass in his hand towards Han Han.

Of course you have to drink beer when eating seafood, and the gout set meal is the best combination.

"Director Han is really bad at judging people."

Qiao Shan smiled and transferred the garlic vermicelli scallops to Jiang Qing.

"If Mr. Jiang put on a beard, a floral shirt, and a big cigar, he'd look like a successful man!"

"One more classic toast from The Great Gatsby, and we're all set!"

He told himself that he was excited and slapped his thighs, making a "pa pa" sound.

Liu Haocun scooped a spoonful of coconut jelly into an empty bowl and pushed it in front of Jiang Qing, tapping the spoon lightly on the edge of the bowl.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder if Dr. Jiang, a truly successful person, is pretending to be successful... Sigh..."

She suddenly cried out softly, her left hand hanging in the air and trembling slightly. Blood beads were condensed on the tip of the bamboo stick, and the wound on the tip of her index finger blossomed into a small flower.

"I have a Band-Aid in my bag."

Jiang Qing glanced at her fingers and was about to stand up, but Liu Haocun had already hidden his hands behind his back and smiled at him.

"Don't bother. I treated it myself the last time I was accidentally scratched by coral."

She took out a Band-Aid from her pocket and waved it at Jiang Qing.

“Now I carry it with me.”

She smiled like a pure little white flower, and while speaking she dropped a grilled shrimp dipped in chili powder onto Jiang Qing's plate.

"Dr. Jiang, try this. It smells delicious."

Jiang Qing saw that she had already started to wrap the Band-Aid on her finger and nodded slightly.

This little girl is quite interesting.

Amid the roar of the tide overflowing the breakwater, the proprietress brought out a clay pot of seafood porridge.

When Liu Haocun was serving porridge, he "accidentally" knocked over the vinegar bottle, and the dark liquid was about to flow onto Jiang Qing's sleeves.

The moment Jiang Qing reached out to hold the bottle, the red rope bell on her wrist wrapped around his watch strap, and the crisp sound startled Shen Teng who was napping at the end of the table.

"Cuncun has been acting clumsily lately."

He braced himself to pry open the crab legs, the crab roe sticking to his chin.

"Last time you dropped my prop pocket watch into the sea, the time before last."

"Brother Teng!"

Liu Haocun scooped up a spoonful of chili sauce and pretended to throw it, but then turned around with a look of grievance. "Doctor Jiang, please judge. It was clearly the watch chain that came undone."

When she leaned over, the ends of her hair brushed against the back of Jiang Qing's hand, and there was a sense of pity in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The phone suddenly vibrated on the desktop, and a message reminder with the note "Xiao Ye" popped up on the lit lock screen. Liu Haocun caught a glimpse of Jiang Qing's eyes that softened instantly, and he couldn't help but pause in his forward leaning movement, then sat up straight as if nothing had happened.

"I wasn't there, so I can't just listen to one side of the story."

Jiang Qing responded with a smile, then lowered his head to check the message.

"Cun Cun, what's up? Did you find the wrong helper?"

"Dr. Jiang is a serious science and engineering man."

Shen Teng licked the sauce on his fingers and joked to Liu Haocun.

"Ah……"

Liu Haocun raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, then buried his head in dealing with the crab legs in front of him.

She didn't fall in love with Dr. Jiang at first sight, but was just curious whether he was sincere to Zhou Ye, or whether he was just a hidden player.

At the moment, it seems not.

but……

Why?
Why is Zhou Ye liked by such an outstanding person, and why is he so indifferent to himself?
What's wrong with her?

As I thought about it, a feeling of unwillingness to accept the outcome began to grow in my heart.

She glanced at Jiang Qing, who was discussing racing with Han Han beside her. Her eyes swept across his angular profile and then to the corners of his mouth that seemed to be always smiling.

In terms of appearance, she felt that Dr. Jiang was first-rate even in the entertainment industry where handsome men were everywhere, and was no worse than those so-called top-tier young actors.

Then I thought about his impressive resume, which I couldn't understand but was impressive just by looking at it, and the company he owned, Wuwen Technology, which had a market value of over 10 billion before it even went public...

Why can't such a person be my boyfriend?

Even if he is already with Zhou Ye, isn't it just being together?

Love in the entertainment industry is like the wind, it comes and goes quickly. As long as you don't get married...

wrong!

Even after getting married, how many couples can stay together forever?

Aren’t those 85 flower seniors living examples?

The salty sea breeze brushed past Liu Haocun's ears. She gathered her scattered hair and her fingertips seemed to accidentally brush across Jiang Qing's wrist which was resting on the edge of the table.

"This conch shell is so beautiful."

She suddenly bent down to pick up the shells that had rolled to her feet, and her skirt deliberately swept across Jiang Qing's calves.

"Dr. Jiang, do you think it looks like the Eye of Cupid?"

A shell covered with fine sand rested on her palm, and the lines of her raised neck shone like pearls under the light.

Jiang Qing lowered his eyes to look at the shell in her hand, smiled and nodded.

From the appearance, they are somewhat similar.

Shen Teng suddenly slammed the table and laughed at Liu Haocun.

"Cun Cun, are you planning to have Mr. Jiang read your palm?"

"I already told you, I'm a science student."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Liu Haocun stuffed the shell into Jiang Qing's palm and his fingertips lightly slid across his palm.

"I heard that shells can hear the secrets of the sea."

Jiang Qing glanced at the shell in his hand and saw that Liu Haocun had already started arguing with Liu Haoran opposite him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Although he is young, he has a lot on his mind and was very careless the whole night.

Jiang Qing was peeling crab claws when the phone vibrated on the table for the third time.

Liu Haocun caught a glimpse of the word "Xiao Ye" jumping on the lock screen, and suddenly leaned over to hold his wrist.

"It got the sauce on it."

The force of the wet wipes rubbing against the wrist bone was like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, gentle as if flirting.

"Dr. Jiang has beautiful hands. He must be very charming when playing the piano."

She praised with a smile.

"That's what Cun Cun said."

Han Han joked while chewing on grilled squid.

"If you didn't know, you would think you were going to write for the hand model."

"Mr. Jiang's hands are typing codes, not piano keys."

Shen Teng glanced between the two of them, a knowing smile flashed in his eyes, and he changed the subject.

The moment the tide overflowed the embankment, Liu Haocun "accidentally" knocked over the beer glass again.

The cold liquid dripped down the edge of the table. She cried out softly and dodged to the side of Jiang Qing, falling straight into his arms.

"I'm sorry."

Her eyelashes trembled as she looked up to apologize, and her wine-stained fingertips were resting on Jiang Qing's chest.

"It's ok."

Jiang Qing looked down at her, his expression unchanged.

After she sat up straight, she inadvertently moved to the side.

Liu Haocun caught a glimpse of his movements and pursed his lips slightly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fireworks in the distance. When everyone turned to look, Liu Haocun took advantage of the interweaving of light and shadow to get close to Jiang Qing's ear.

“Actually, I’ve learned palmistry.”

Warm breath brushed against his earlobe.

"Dr. Jiang's love story..."

The tail end dissolves in another round of fireworks.

Jiang Qing glanced at her and only saw her lowered head, but did not see her covering the corners of her mouth that were raised.

The phone screen lit up again. The moment Jiang Qing lowered his head to check the message, Liu Haocun saw his reflection in his pupils.

She picked up a slice of iced lime and put it between her lips. The sour juice flowed over the tip of her tongue and she couldn't help frowning. But she caught a glimpse of his eyes glancing at her from the corner of her eye, and her heart was slightly happy.

No matter whether it is a good impression or a bad impression, at least it can make his eyes stay on me.

How is this not progress?
