Qiao Yang stood close and saw all the interactions between Zu Qi and Xue Jue. After hesitating for a long time, he cautiously asked, “Are you okay?”
“It’s okay.” Zu Qi smiled. He shook his head and put away his phone.
While they were still filming during the day, they made an appointment to go to the newly opened food stall near the hotel to have skewers together in the evening. So Zu Qi gathered his emotions, closed the computer, put on a thick coat and followed Qiao Yang out.
There were only two of them coming out this time. Since there was not much traffic here at night, they were not fully armed from head to toe as usual.
However, as a popular star, Qiao Yang still wore necessary items such as a hat and a mask, but Zu Qi was not afraid and exposed his entire face to the cold night wind.
After walking for about ten minutes and arriving at the store, Zu Qi felt that his face was stiff from the cold wind.
He sat next to the oven and rubbed his face that felt like it was frozen into ice. In the blink of an eye, he saw Qiao Yang taking off his hat and mask as if nothing had happened, and he understood instantly.
“Okay!” Zu Qi stared at Qiao Yang with wide eyes and said angrily, “So you wear a hat and a mask to keep out the cold. You didn’t remind me. I thought you were covering your face!”
Sitting down next to Zu Qi, Qiao Yang smiled and gloated: “We are all people who rely on our faces to make a living. Of course we have to protect our eating tools as soon as possible in such a cold weather. You have no common sense.”
Zu Qi raised his eyebrows and joked: “Aren’t you worried about being secretly photographed by paparazzi and fans right now?”
“Hey, don’t look at what time it is now.” It was rare for Qiao Yang to be so free and easy, and he waved nonchalantly. He waved his hand and said, “Besides, we just came out to hang out, so it doesn’t matter if we take a few pictures.”
“That’s right.” Zu Qi laughed.
There were not many customers in the food stall at this time. Including Zu Qi and Qiao Yang’s table, there were only four people at the table. The other three tables were sitting inside. Only the two of them chose a seat by the window for the sake of peace.
Of course, the transparent windows were closed tightly, otherwise Zu Qi’s face would have been stiffened by the cold wind.
The boss came over with the menu, watched them finish ordering a bunch of dishes and two bottles of beer, said wait a moment, and walked away happily.
Zu Qi watched Qiao Yang take the initiative to take out two pairs of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder, quickly peel off the plastic cover and hand it to him.
“Is your anorexia all gone?” Zu Qi took the chopsticks and put them on a dry plate.
“I don’t know. I have to take time to go to the hospital for a checkup to find out.” Qiao Yang was no longer as taboo as before when others mentioned the word “anorexia” in front of him. Instead, he said calmly, “I personally feel good. It’s almost done, you see, I even dare to eat at the food stall.”
Zu Qi sighed: “If Brother Zhou knew that I brought you to the food stall, I would be surprised if he wouldn’t kill me.”
“No, no,” Qiao Yang smiled and said, “It’s too late for Zhou Hai to love you. You are the favorite of our crew. Who dares to hurt you? That would offend our entire crew!”
At this point, Zu Qi suddenly remembered something, scratched his head and asked strangely: “By the way, I always feel that the atmosphere in the crew seems a bit strange recently.”
Qiao Yang asked: “What’s strange?”
“I can’t tell you at the moment.” Zu Qi shrank his neck and frowned, “If I have to describe it, it’s like everyone is too kind to me, but I haven’t done anything to deserve everyone to treat me like this.”
In fact, Zu Qi wanted to say that everyone was very attentive to him, but he just considered the word “attentive” being used here wasn’t very suitable, so he changed his words abruptly.
Qiao Yang looked at Zu Qi’s confused face and couldn’t help but feel guilty. At the same time, he felt particularly sorry for what happened to Zu Qi.
If Qiao Yang was still half-convinced about the rumors among the crew before, then after seeing Xue Jue’s attitude towards Zu Qi tonight, Qiao Yang completely believed those words.
——Xue Jue doesn’t like Zu Qi.
Xue Jue’s dislike was not only in his heart, but also reflected in various details when he faced Zu Qi.
At least in Qiao Yang’s opinion, if Xue Jue had a slight affection for Zu Qi, he would not hang up the video so ruthlessly.
The more Qiao Yang thought about it, the more distressed he felt. Even the eyes he looked at Zu Qi were filled with the light of a loving father unconsciously, and he could see goosebumps all over Zu Qi’s body.
Zu Qi rubbed his arms: “Why are you looking at me like that…”
“It’s okay.” Qiao Yang said softly, paused, and continued, “If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, it doesn’t matter even if you have emotional difficulties, I will try my best to help you.”
“…” Zu Qi laughed, “How can you help me emotionally?”
Qiao Yang knew Zu Qi was joking and smiled playfully. He responded: “Okay, as long as you don’t mind, I have no problem.”
Zu Qi smiled and said: “Anyway, I have remembered your words. From now on, you will be the first person I go to when I get divorced.”
Qiao Yang: “Welcome.”
The two of them were laughing, and then the boss brought the grilled skewers up. The spicy aroma immediately filled the air around them. Zu Qi couldn’t wait to pick up the chopsticks, pick up the pieces, and cut them. He then put the rice cake into his mouth and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“It’s delicious!”
“Really? Let me try it.” Qiao Yang picked up a piece of pork belly, frowned and chewed it for a while, then slowly relaxed his brows under Zu Qi’s nervous gaze and smiled, “It’s really good.”
The two people chatting did not notice three people squatting under the window next to them, each holding a camera in their hands.
“Did you get it?” someone asked quietly.
“I got it, I got it! I even recorded the voice.” The man was shivering in the cold wind, but he was extremely excited and said, “Qiao Yang can’t run away this time!”
