Chapter 454 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 31
Ji Yan was furious, but as his former good brother, he decided to give Pei Lin some face to avoid revealing Pei Lin's "cold-blooded and ruthless" true colors.
If he scares his girlfriend away, given Pei Lin's cunning nature, he'll never have peace again.
But since everyone's saying he's a jerk, he's determined to freeload off this meal!
Ji Yan smiled warmly, "Sister-in-law, there's been some misunderstanding between Pei Lin and me. Would you mind if I had a meal with you all so Pei Lin and I could have a proper talk?"
Yun Qing glanced at Pei Lin, and seeing that he had no objections, nodded and said, "Alright."
Although Linlin kept saying bad things about Ji Yan, it was clear that he didn't really hate Ji Yan.
Moreover, Ji Yan is a friend he has personally acknowledged, so their relationship should be quite good. The talk of breaking off their friendship was just a joke.
Even if it's just a joke, she's still on Rinrin's side!
Ji Yan had originally decided that even if Pei Lin was unhappy, he would still stick to them and disturb their time together, to show him what it meant to be mean!
Surprisingly, Pei Lin didn't object at all.
Even if he's henpecked, shouldn't she at least show some dissatisfaction towards him?
But he didn't; in fact, his gaze towards him was quite gentle.
Ji Yan: ...Something's not right!
Is it too late to run now?
He was secretly on guard, but on the surface he remained as gentle, calm and composed as ever.
The words had already been spoken, and there was no going back on them now. This was his first formal meeting with Pei Lin's girlfriend, and he couldn't leave a bad impression.
Let's deal with whatever comes our way. I don't believe Pei Lin can assassinate him in front of his girlfriend.
Because Yun Qing was there, and fearing that she might not understand and feel neglected, Ji Yan didn't talk to Pei Lin about business matters. Instead, he talked about another "former" brother, Jian Xingzhou.
Jian Xingzhou is relatively low-key in the entertainment industry, but he has both talent and good looks. He has already become a movie star and is very popular, especially among girls.
Ji Yan felt that Yun Qing should know him, so that they would have something to talk about, and it would also allow her to learn more about Pei Lin's circle of friends.
He had thought things through very carefully, however...
Yun Qing's attention was entirely focused on the appetizers on the table.
Although he had politely diverted his attention to listen to Ji Yan, he was completely bewildered when Ji Yan mentioned Jian Xingzhou.
Yun Qing: ...Who is it?
It seems to be quite famous. I wonder if I'm just ignorant?
Ugh... I feel a little inferior.
She poked Pei Lin frantically under the table with her fingers while taking a few bites of snacks to comfort her wounded heart, her eyes sparkling.
This is so delicious!
When Pei Lin heard Ji Yan mention Jian Xingzhou, he stared at him expressionlessly, his eyes practically screaming that he wanted to kick him out on the spot.
Why bring up that male vixen?
Ji Yan: ...What's wrong?
Why is Pei Lin so moody and unpredictable in his relationships? It's so inexplicable!
After being poked twice by Yun Qing, Pei Lin looked away, grabbed Yun Qing's hand that had poked her, and said, "She's just a minor celebrity, not worth mentioning. It's normal that you don't know her."
"Oh……"
Hearing him say that, Yun Qing immediately stopped caring. "Try this, it's super delicious!"
Pei Lin's face instantly lit up with a smile, "If you like, I'll pack one...three more portions later."
Suddenly, I remembered that Yun Qing had two good friends, and I was afraid that just packing one serving wouldn't be enough for her.
Ji Yan touched his nose, realizing that he had touched on his sister-in-law's area of ignorance!
Looks like Jian Xingzhou isn't up to par! Wasn't he supposed to be super popular? How come his sister-in-law has never even heard of him?
It made his "former" brother lose face along with him.
Actually, this wasn't Jian Xingzhou's problem, but rather that Yun Qing had been incredibly unlucky before, always having one trouble after another. She had to work hard to keep up with her studies and also work hard to earn money to support herself, constantly running around and so busy that she didn't even have enough time to sleep. How could she have time to pay attention to celebrities?
She rests by sleeping as soon as possible, and her entertainment is reading a couple of pages of a book. She is also withdrawn and has no friends, which makes her quite "ignorant and uninformed".
After Ji Yan stopped talking, Yun Qing ate even more intently, her face beaming with happiness.
Ji Yan glanced at the snacks on the table that looked unremarkable, but they seemed to smell better than usual, so he couldn't resist trying them.
Hmm... this tastes pretty much the same as usual? But it does seem a little better than usual?
Then Yun Qing buried her head in eating, and Ji Yan followed suit.
Pei Lin, left out in the cold: ...
After the food was served, the two of them ate without even looking up.
Pei Lin frowned. It was one thing for Qingqing to like to eat, but why was Ji Yan eating it too?
Are you a foodie? All you do is eat, eat, eat! You're such a copycat!
Pei Lin coughed lightly and sighed, "Fate..."
He had barely uttered a single word when Yun Qing's mental radar went off instantly. She immediately moved her chair closer to him, and instead of burying her head in her food, she started eating right next to him.
Hearing the noise, Ji Yan looked up and saw the two of them sticking together, even while eating.
He hesitated as he was about to pick up some food with his chopsticks, suddenly feeling a bit full.
He put down his chopsticks and picked up his drink.
Because he was worried about Pei Lin retaliating against him, he resolutely refused to touch alcohol.
Then, just as he took a sip of his drink, he saw Pei Lin, who had only taken a couple of bites, look like he had no appetite and put down his chopsticks.
Ji Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression, just about to ask him what was wrong.
But when Pei Lin looked up, she met his gaze and looked at him with disdain.
Ji Yan: !!!
What do you mean? Do you mean I'm unappealingly good-looking?
He was so angry that he downed his drink in one gulp and was about to condemn his excessive behavior. Were former brothers no longer brothers?
Before he could even open his mouth, Yun Qing placed a piece of food on Pei Lin's plate and coaxed him softly, "Eat some more, this is delicious, you should try it."
Pei Lin reluctantly ate two bites, then wanted to put down his chopsticks, but Yun Qing put two more bites of food on his plate.
"Be good, eat a little more."
Ji Yan: ...
When did Pei Lin become Pei Baobao?
It's so annoying that I need my girlfriend to coax me to eat!
Yun Qing hesitated for a moment as she looked at the plate of fish on the table. She was no longer unlucky, so she shouldn't get a fishbone stuck in her throat, right?
Despite the psychological trauma of being hospitalized for choking, she couldn't resist the temptation of the food. Just as she was about to reach for it, Pei Lin suddenly said, "You eat the others first."
Then he picked up a piece of fish and started picking out the bones. After carefully cleaning it, he put it into Yun Qing's bowl.
Yun Qing happily reached under the table and hooked his fingers resting on his lap.
Pei Lin held her fingers, lowered his eyes, and smiled.
Ji Yan looked at him with suspicion. Why was he suddenly smiling so smugly?
Pei Lin felt his gaze and couldn't help but look up. His gaze lingered on the handsome face for a moment, then he slowly raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a sense of superiority and a hint of provocation.
Ji Yan: No! Why are you provoking me? Aren't you afraid I'll sabotage you?
At this moment, Yun Qing put more food into Pei Lin's bowl, saying, "Eat your food obediently."
Then Ji Yan watched helplessly as Pei Lin, who usually ate normally, had a very poor appetite and needed his girlfriend to coax him to eat, making the meal quite difficult.
He was so disgusted by the constant nausea that his face went numb.
It's not true that Pei Lin has no appetite; it's true that he has no appetite at all!
He discovered that Pei Lin, that dog, could actually assassinate him—by stuffing him with dog food until he died!
