Bei Er Duo excused herself to the restroom to escape the awkwardness briefly.
She was facing the mirror, she noticed her face was blushing strangely. The conversation before still ringing in her ears.
It was strange, she also ever encountered that situation. How could know she was being tricked by Ye Shu Wei's joke?
She adjusted her emotion for a while, she hoped later on she wouldn't be affected again.
She took a deep breath, tighten her abdominal muscles, and held it for five seconds. Then she let out her breath.
With success, she went out of the bathroom.
When she returned to her seat, she sat down. Luckily everyone already changed the topic of conversation. They didn't talk about thing regarding her and Ye Shu Wei's relation.
She finally had time to eat something.
When she was lowered her head down, she noticed there was a pile of food on her plate. There were veggies, noodles, prawns, crabs leg, and seafoods.
She casted a glance to Ye Shu Wei suspiciously, then noticed he had same kind of thing as her.
So it turned out he took the opportunity of her leaving the table to help her take food, fortunately it is her very favorite food.
She expressed her gratitude to him silently. Then she raised up a crab legs.
"Ye Shu Wei, you don't help your girlfriend to peel the crab shell?" Big sis Zhou said, this time her eyes were attacking him: "I remember that you are an expert to peel those."
Ye Shu Wei put his fork down, then took a towel to wipe his hands. He took the crab leg from Bei Er Duo's hand, and personally help her to peel it. He separated the white meat of the crab from the shell, and placed it on her plate. Then he peeled several prawns for her. It was neat and in order. He even threw the shells on the left side, to prevent Bei Er Duo to be pricked.
Being a live for twenty five years, it was her first time to enjoy that meticulous care and service. Bei Er Duo was simply overwhelmed by favor.
Big sister Zhou smiled cheerfully: "I already said it from the start. In the future a girl who could marry Ye Shu Wei, definitely would be very lucky. His hand is very skillful. Not only he could cook something delicious, he even could do house chores. Not like our man, he even couldn't cook a noodle."
The man who sat down beside her, laughed embarrassedly: "That's why we complement each other. You are so skillful, and I am a bit less so it would not matter."
Ye Shu Wei could cook? Could do house chores? Bei Er Duo felt a bit astonished. She thought he just could that kind of geeky thing. His house would be full of boxes of instant noodle, his clothes and socks would scattered around. She thought he would just play game, computer,……"
But obviously, it wasn't. It reversed her view about Ye Shu Wei.
During Big sis Zhou and her husband bantered, Bei Er Duo asked Ye Shu Wei secretly: "You could cook?"
"It just home cooking." He didn't look at her.
"Such as?"
"Home cooking means those dishes that is eaten by common home."
"…."
Bei Er Duo was speechless, why it was strenuous to interact with someone like this man.
She prepared to ask again, "Could you cook roasted aromatic yellow croaker fish?" Bei Er Duo suddenly heard someone: "Yi Lu, right here."
Bei Er Duo raised her head, and looked at the woman who wore a black dress. It was Zhang Yi Lu with fresh, clean, and plain make up. She came over.
Without delay Huo Xiao Tong stood up, and to welcome her. She smiled and looked at everyone: "I will introduce this beautiful lady to you guys. She is the new Xin Jin anchor, Zhang Yi Lu. She is my best friend. Before she had a date upstairs, so I especially invited her to go down.
Except Bei Er Duo and Ye Shu Wei, everyone was brighten and greeted her.
"It is the genuine beauty."
"Oh, you are Zhang Yi Lu? No wonder your voice sounded so familiar, I heard about your program."
"Come come come, little beautiful woman. I toast you a cup."
Zhang Yi Lu accepted it, and interacted with them.
This scene didn't stir up too many emotion of Bei Er Duo, to be honest, if she didn't know what kind of person is Zhang Yi Lu, now she really would appreciate her beauty.
"The reason I invited her here, it because her date before was the manager of Han Si Wei company. We may get a discount because of it." Huo Xiao Tong blinked her eyes, and said to her best friend: "Yi Lu, please."
"It's not a problem." Zhang Yi Lu smiled: "Since we know each other, of course I would help."
She said it then pursed her lips lightly, and looked at Bei Er Duo: "Er Duo, what a coincidental, you also here."
Bei Er Duo knew it was impossible for her to pretend to not know her, she just calmly nodded: "Em, I come with my boyfriend."
"Ah, you know each other?" Zhen Zhi Ling said.
"Of course, I know her for several years. Before the university we studied in same city." Zhang Yi Lu said, "but afterwards, Er Duo went to other city to study. We lost contact. I even didn't know that now she has a boyfriend."
"We also just knew today." He Yang said: "Ye Shu Wei is too good with secret. Before Bei Er Duo appeared, we made a bet that whether he lied or not."
"Right?" Zhang Yi Lu's eyes were mocking Bei Er Duo, she smiled gracefully: "Then it means we didn't know about their relationship."
The atmosphere turned a bit flat.
Big sis Zhou intervened, and smoothed thing over. She said: "Ye Shu Wei had said before, the more good the thing is, he is more afraid that it would be lusted over by anyone else. Look at how he treasures his girlfriend. He hates that he couldn't hide his girlfriend forever. Before those prawns on Bei Er Duo's plate, it was him who peeled it for her. He never treated anyone else like her."
Zhang Yi Lu kept on smile, just her eyes turned cold. She didn't say anything, she just looked at Bei Er Duo, to state clearly her stand point. Bei Er Duo was not a good match for Ye Shu Wei. Ye Shu Wi allowed her to come, to show clearly it was a play along. She wanted to see how long she could play this game.
Bei Er Duo ignored her, and prepared to stand up to get some more food.
"What do you want to eat, I help you to take it." Ye Shu Wei clutched her shoulder: "No need you to move, just be good and sit here."
Bei Er Duo said: "I want to eat pork ribs lotus root, chicken wings, and spaghetti."
"Do you want the medium well steak?"
"Okay."
"Just sit here, and wait for me." He finally released her shoulder, and bypass chair to take her food. When he passed Zhang Yi Lu, he even casted a glance at her.
Zhang Yi Lu stood rigidly on the ground. She knew clearly that when she appeared, everyone's gaze was on her. But Ye Shu Wei didn't look at her at all even for half second.
Huo Xiao Tong noticed something wrong in Zhang Yi Lu's face, hurriedly she patted her, and called her attention.
"It is nice to see you guys. If we have a chance, then let's hang out together. Today I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first." Zhang Yi Lu said it elegantly, and turned her body gracefully.
Huo Xiao Tong looked at her boyfriend's eye, then accompanied Zhang Yi Lu to go out.
Zhang Yi Lu walked very fast. She didn't care about Huo Xiao Tong who was calling her. She just went out of the doorway. She suddenly stopped, and turned her body. With some arrogance, she said: "How could it be? Ye Shu Wei and Bei Er Duo? Even you beat me to death, I also wouldn't believe it? How could Ye Shu Wei interested at her class? Why would he correspond to her pretended act, give her face?"
Huo Xiao Tong hiccuped, and said: "Every flower could attract different eyes, maybe Ye Shu Wei just like that type."
"Impossible!"
"Yi Lu, why are you so emotional? Do you know Ye Shu Wei?" Huo Xiao Tong never saw Zhang Yi Lu's intense expression, she felt very strange.
Mentioning Ye Shu Wei's name, Zhang Yi Lu drooped her eyes. She looked somewhat sad.
