Huayu: That year, I withdrew from the Super Boy competition.

Yang Mi caught a glimpse of Su Wei's movements out of the corner of her eye.

She slightly raised her chin, let out a faint hum through her nose, and like a proud rooster, grabbed Su Wei's wrist, crossed half the table, and sat down next to Liu Shishi.

Su Wei stumbled slightly as she was pulled, then sat down.

As soon as the two sat down, Liu Shishi leaned over and whispered in Yang Mi's ear.

The two girls touched heads together, their voices so low that only the other girl could hear them.

As he spoke, he would occasionally glance at the other people at the table.

It's obvious they were talking about what happened at the door and the commotion inside the private room.

Su Wei did not join in the conversation among the people at the dinner table.

He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat voraciously.

Actually, he was already hungry.

There's a saying that a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home, and that's really true.

Although Su Wei wasn't the kind of boy who was still growing, his body, having just turned eighteen, was at the peak of its metabolism.

In addition, I filmed action scenes all day today, and in the evening Yang Mi made me run around across most of the film studio. My stomach was already empty.

I didn't feel it when I was walking in the cold wind, but now that I'm sitting in the warm private room and smelling the aroma of the dishes on the table, my hunger has suddenly surged.

Everyone else was busy talking and barely ate any food.

Su Wei felt that these people were simply wasting their talents.

How can we let delicious food go to waste!

He rolled up his sleeves and pointed directly at the signature dishes.

And so the following scene appeared on this large round table:

The group of people at the table were chatting and laughing, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, but Su Wei was the only one sitting there with her head down, focused on eating.

At first, the other people at the dinner table didn't notice, but gradually they also noticed what was happening.

Tang Yan stared at Su Wei for several seconds before finally unable to hold back and speaking:

"Xiao Su, why do you look like you haven't eaten for days?"

I remember you ate a lot of the boxed lunches from the crew, how come you're starving like a reincarnated ghost?

With her mouth stuffed full of food, her cheeks bulging, Su Wei didn't even lift her head and mumbled a reply.

Because there was too much food in his mouth, his voice was muffled, but loud enough for everyone at the table to hear clearly.

"I'm at the age where I'm growing, so it's normal for me to get hungry easily."

He swallowed hard, then muttered a complaint.

"It's all Yang Mi's fault. She insisted that I go pick her up, and the journey used up the last bit of energy I had left."

He kept eating as he said this, his chopsticks never stopping, constantly piling food onto his plate.

I was enjoying my meal when I suddenly realized the room had become quiet.

He looked up and found everyone staring at him, as if he were a rare animal.

Tang Yan even lay face down on the table, laughing and joking:

"You're already so big, and you're still growing? Are you trying to break the sky?"

Su Wei shrugged and chuckled, "You actually took a joke seriously? I'm afraid I won't grow much taller, but I can gain some weight!"

At this moment, Liu Shishi turned to look at Yang Mi and gently nudged her with her elbow:

"Did you hear that, Mimi? Su Wei said it's all your fault."

She paused, then muttered something under her breath:

"Look how hungry that child is."

After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed, his shoulders shaking.

Yang Mi turned and glared at Su Weiyi.

Su Wei was busy stuffing meat into her mouth and didn't notice her gaze at all.

She pointed at him, her tone tinged with resentment:

"You're blaming me? You're a complete glutton yourself, and you still eat just because you didn't come to pick me up."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan, who had just stopped laughing, burst into laughter again.

Tang Yan laughed so hard she covered her stomach with one hand, while Liu Shishi leaned on her shoulder.

The two of them seemed to have caught the same urge, laughing more and more uncontrollably.

Amidst the commotion, Hu Ge pushed open the door and returned.

He sat down in his seat and looked at the two people opposite him who were laughing uncontrollably.

Tang Yan almost laughed until tears streamed down her face, and Liu Shishi buried her face in the back of Tang Yan's shoulder, only her shoulder could be seen shaking.

Su Wei had already lowered his head and started eating again, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

Hu Ge watched for a long time but still couldn't understand where the humor lay.

He shifted slightly to the side and asked Huo Jianhua, who seemed relatively normal:

"What's wrong with these two? Have they got mad cow disease?"

Although Tang Yan was laughing so hard she was almost out of breath, her ears were very sharp.

She freed one hand and playfully slapped Hugo's arm.

The force wasn't strong, but the "snap" sounded quite crisp, and he said intermittently with a laugh:

"You...you're the one with mad cow disease..."

After saying that, he laughed again.

Huo Jianhua turned slightly toward Hu Ge and briefly recounted what had happened in the private room while Hu Ge was out.

From the moment Su Wei and Yang Mi entered the room and were harassed, to Yang Mi giving the stage manager a piece of her mind.

Then, Su Wei buried his head in his rice and was laughed at by Tang Yan, eventually leading to Yang Mi calling him a "glutton".

Huo Jianhua finished explaining these things in just a few words.

Hu Ge didn't say anything after listening, he just gave a simple "hmm".

He looked up, his gaze passing over the cups, plates, bowls, and chopsticks on the table.

Yang Mi was leaning back in her chair, a smile on her face.

The smile hadn't completely faded, and his eyes were fixed on Su Wei.

Su Wei was shoveling rice into her mouth, oblivious to all the stares around her.

Hu Ge turned his gaze away, picked up the cup in front of him, and twirled it around.

When he finished smoking that cigarette in the bathroom, he had already made up his mind:

Forget it, stop thinking about it, just let it go.

It's one thing to understand something in your mind, but it's another to whether the pent-up frustration in your chest can dissipate.

He still couldn't understand how he and Yang Mi had ended up like this.

Was it just because he said something in a bad tone that he was unhappy with their overly intimate behavior?

Is it really worth making such a fuss over something like this?

Ultimately, he simply hadn't experienced enough heartbreak.

However, this statement is not entirely accurate.

His ex-girlfriend, Xue Jianing, was gentle and virtuous. She always went along with him, rarely threw tantrums, and never argued with him.

But Yang Mi is a completely different kind of person.

When they love, they give their all; when their hearts are broken, they can walk away just as quickly.

Although the two are not yet at the point of talking about love, given Yang Mi's personality, she would never swallow her anger if she was wronged.

In addition, girls sometimes have very strange things to focus on.

At that time, Yang Mi was in her menstrual period, feeling physically uncomfortable and emotionally volatile.

His question as he caught up just happened to be right in the line of fire.

She was still seething with anger when she crashed into him.

In addition, he was the one pursuing her.

The one who is favored is always fearless, and she gets much angrier at him than at others.

It was precisely because she knew he liked her.

Hu Ge couldn't figure out these twists and turns, and no one had ever analyzed them for him.

All he knew was that the result was that the two of them spoke less and less, and now she didn't even want to look at him anymore.
