"There's another booth," the waiter said.
"Take us there," Zhu Zhu said.
"This way, please." The waiter brought Zhu Zhu and Wu Xi to the only remaining room in the restaurant.
Tang Wanwan sat there alone, her hat pulled down. Zhu Zhu looked at her and said to Wu Xi, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it."
"Sit down! Tell me, what do you want to eat? I'll go get it," Wu Xi said gentlemanly.
Having received a good education since he was young, Wu Xi's every move carried a gentlemanly and elegant aura.
"I want to eat a lot. You won't be able to take it," Zhu Zhu stood up and said with a smile.
"Just make two more trips," Wu Xi said.
"Let's go together!" After arguing for a long time, Zhu Zhu remained silent for two seconds before saying.
Their conversation caught Tang Wanwan's attention. She raised her head and looked at them. She saw a young 'couple'. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. Tang Wanwan couldn't help but think of Shen Lyi and smile.
"Miss, how are you?" Zhu Zhu asked, looking at Tang Wanwan. Could you look after this seat for us first and not let anyone else take it? We'll be back soon.
"Yes." Tang Wanwan nodded at them, indicating that she would look after it for them.
"Thank you," Zhu Zhu thanked them happily. She reached out and pulled Wu Xi's hand towards the food area. "Quick, quick, we have to walk faster."
Not long after Zhu Zhu and Wu Xi left, Ms Ling and the others each carried two plates and walked over.
When Tang Wanwan saw that it was filled with seafood, her eyes instantly lit up.
"Where are the disposable gloves? Give them to me. Hurry up and give them to me." Tang Wanwan urged impatiently.
"Are you that hungry?" Ms Ling asked with a frown.
"Well, I'm not alone now!" Tang Wanwan said calmly. The slyness in her eyes was so fleeting that Ms Ling could not catch it at all.
"Ah... Are you serious?" When Meng heard Tang Wanwan's words, her eyes widened and she cried out. Yang Fann quickly covered her mouth with his hand and looked around vigilantly.
"Ugh..." Meng's mouth was covered by Yang Fann's hand, and her ears instantly turned red. She pressed her back against his hard, hot chest and raised her hand to slap his arm.
"Let her go!" Ms Ling looked at Meng reproachfully and said to Yang Fann.
"I... I'm sorry." When Meng met Ms Ling's gaze, she knew that her reaction was too big, so she quickly lowered her head and apologized.
"Be more careful in the future. This is not the same as before. We are outside. If we are recognized, there will be a lot of people and no one knows what will happen. You are Wanwan's assistant, so you should be careful with your behavior. Don't put her in any danger because of your rashness." Ms Ling said to Meng with a stern expression.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Tang Wanwan quickly tried to smooth things over. "Ms Ling, I'm fine, aren't I? Don't be so serious. Besides, Meng didn't do it on purpose. Hurry up and sit down!"
Ms Ling sat down under Tang Wanwan's persuasion. Yang Fann let Meng sit inside while he sat outside and blocked the way.
"What are you all doing? When the things were brought over, they all froze. Do you want to just sit there and watch? " When Tang Wanwan saw that none of them moved, she spoke in an unpleasant tone.
"Hurry up. Take it and eat. I'm starving." Tang Wanwan stuffed the disposable gloves into their hands and said.
After a while, all the food on the table had been eaten. Tang Wanwan was half full and wanted to eat more, so she asked Yang Fann to bring a few more.
Zhu Zhu and Wu Xi sat next to her and watched the lively atmosphere on Tang Wanwan's side. Zhu Zhu seemed to be infected by it. She felt a little envious and hopeful.
Ever since she was young, Zhu Zhu had not had many friends. She had always been alone. During her school years, because she was the daughter of the mayor, she bullied others all over the place, and arrogance and bullying became synonymous with her. As soon as someone saw her, they would shout, and then there would be no one within fifty meters of her. Gradually, she got used to it, used to being alone, used to being alone, but when she saw a couple, she couldn't help but envy them.
She needed friends, too, but because of her bossy nature no one wanted to be her friend.
Only when she saw Jiang Tianming did this situation slowly change.
Jiang Tianming was like the white moon to her, the light that illuminated her dull life. Since then, she had been following behind him, pestering him, disturbing him, annoying him. Because of him, she no longer had the thought of finding a friend. Her mind, eyes, and heart were all filled with him.
But in the end, she couldn't move him to like her. He fell in love with someone else.
When Wu Xi saw the sadness in Zhu Zhu's eyes, he lowered his eyebrows and did not say anything. He silently placed the peeled prawn on her plate.
"Thank you." Zhu Zhu came back to her senses and looked at the peeled prawns on the plate. She restrained the emotions in her eyes and thanked Wu Xi with a smile.
"Eat quickly," Wu Xi said.
"Yes, it's very delicious." Zhu Zhu picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth as she praised.
"If it's delicious, then eat more," Wu Xi said as he placed the freshly peeled prawn on the plate.
"Eat it yourself! I'll peel it. What are you going to eat?" Zhu Zhu said.
Wu Xi smiled and did not answer.
He only hoped that she would be happy. Even if she asked him to take off the stars, he would be willing.
Tang Wanwan, Ms Ling, and the others had their fill. They sat for a while and rested before leaving.
Tang Wanwan returned to the hotel and made a call to Shen Lyi. After she finished, she found the script for Likes You and started to read it.
The shooting was going to start tomorrow. She did not read much of the script. She did understand some of it, but she did not understand it too thoroughly. She needed to take advantage of the time she had now to make up for it.
Tang Wanwan forgot the time when she looked at it. It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the morning, when she was yawning, that she picked up her phone and glanced at it. Seeing that it was getting late, she put the script aside and lay down to sleep.
The next morning, there was a knock on the door on time. Tang Wanwan, who had been sleeping, was woken up. She opened her sleepy eyes and scratched her head in annoyance. Her messy hair was even more messy when she grabbed it. She slowly lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She picked up her coat and put it on before opening the door again.
The last time she had been scolded by Shen Lyi, whenever someone knocked on her door, she would put on a coat and wrap it around herself before opening it.
"Meng! Why did you call me so early?" Tang Wanwan opened the door and saw Meng. She let her in and said with a bitter face.
She really didn't want to be too "wicked" to wake her up.
"Wanwan, it's getting late. It's almost seven o'clock." Meng took out her phone and let her look at it herself.
"Then can't you be a few minutes late?" Tang Wanwan lay on the bed and pouted.
"Even if I'm a few minutes late, it won't change the fact that you have to get up. Hurry up! Wanwan, Ms Ling is coming back with breakfast." Meng held her hand and said.
"Don't call me. Let me sleep for two more minutes." Tang Wanwan refused to let go. No matter how hard Meng pulled, she refused to get up.
Meng couldn't get up. She stood helplessly at the side and looked at Tang Wanwan, who was still on the bed.
When the two minutes were up, Meng's crisp voice sounded again. "Wanwan, the two minutes are up. Get up quickly."
"Ah... Why are you doing this to me? Meng, do you have a grudge against me?" Tang Wanwan wailed and turned her head to look at Meng, who was pulling and shouting at her.
"Yes, I do. It's still a grudge from my previous life. Hurry up and get up," Meng said with a serious expression.
