Chapter 9 Reasonable
At noon, at the east gate of Qindao University, Yan’s BBQ.
Chen Yan, Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying "gathered together" again.
Under Chen Yan's sincere apology text message and apology phone call, Yu Qiaoqiao had to come out and have dinner with Chen Yan again.
Of course, eating is a small matter. She mainly wants to understand the whole story and return the gifts to Chen Yan.
This time, Chen Yan did not order barbecue, but ordered some stir-fried dishes.
The cold dishes were served first. Chen Yan invited Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying to eat while he said sincerely, "Qiaoqiao. I'm really sorry."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Yan with her big eyes, which blinked twice, and asked, "What's going on? Can you explain it more clearly?"
Chen Yan sighed and said, "Actually... I have always wanted to be an actor. I have thought about it for many years and tried many times, but I failed every time."
Zhao Ying picked up a peanut and said without raising her head, "I have no talent, that's normal."
Chen Yan: …
Yu Qiaoqiao: ...
Chen Yan ignored her and continued to make up a story, ahem, and then said, "Yesterday, I went to another crew for an audition, but... I still didn't get the role I wanted."
“I was also told by the casting director that I couldn’t act at all and couldn’t even release my true nature.”
"I'm feeling depressed, so I called you and wanted to talk to you."
"Who knew you would ask me what I was doing. I suddenly thought about it and said I wanted to pursue you."
"Actually...those were all the lines from the script for my role yesterday."
Yu Qiaoqiao had an expression on her face that said, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
Chen Yan, "Don't disbelieve me. Think about it. Was my confession on the phone awkward? Were the words difficult to pronounce? Did I forget them? Because those were the lines in the script, and I didn't memorize them."
At this point, Chen Yan sighed deeply, "Later, after being rejected by you, I felt that my career and love suffered a double blow. I remembered what the director said, liberating one's nature means letting go of oneself in public and not caring about other people's opinions."
"So I got so angry that I showed up at your dormitory door this morning with a gift, ready to confess my feelings in public."
"Actually, after I came here, I regretted it. I felt like a complete loser. I was clearly offended by the director, but I came to 'retaliate' against you. That's why I hurriedly gave you the things and ran away."
"After I got back, I realized that I was wrong. So after thinking it over, I decided to make it clear to you so as not to cause you any trouble."
Yu Qiaoqiao recalled Chen Yan’s behavior over the past two days, and unexpectedly felt... as if there was something that made sense?
Some of the details do match...?
Am I crazy?
Would you believe such words?
Yu Qiaoqiao blinked.
She felt that her brain seemed to become much duller when facing Chen Yan.
She shook her head, then began to ask, "Why did you call me when you failed the audition?"
Chen Yan said without hesitation, "I met you the day before yesterday, and I felt like we were destined to be together. It's very relaxing to be with you."
Yu Qiaoqiao, "Then why do you ask me out for lunch every morning and noon?"
Chen Yan said, "That's really boring. I want to find a dinner companion."
Yu Qiaoqiao frowned, "Then why did you buy six tickets to confess your love?"
Chen Yan, "Being a good girlfriend will help your relationship develop."
Yu Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhao Ying who was picking up peanuts with her head down...
Chen Yan coughed and said, "My answers are all reasonable, right?"
Before Yu Qiaoqiao could say anything, Zhao Ying, who was eating peanuts beside her, said without even raising her head, "That's reasonable."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Zhao Ying angrily and decided never to play with Zhao Ying again.
Zhao Ying had said so, Yu Qiaoqiao couldn't say anything else. She just believed Chen Yan's lies.
Soon the food was served and the three of them started eating.
During the meal, Yu Qiaoqiao whispered, "Take the flowers and tickets away later."
Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "No. Consider this a gift to you."
Yu Qiaoqiao shook her head. "No, that won't work. I can't just take your things for nothing."
Chen Yan, "This is not free. I caused you trouble, so this is my compensation to you."
"You deserve it."
"Besides," he paused, and then said, "I'm planning to treat you and your roommates to a meal at the weekend to express my apology for what happened this morning."
Hearing Chen Yan say this, Yu Qiaoqiao looked at him in surprise, "Ah? Treating me to dinner?"
Chen Yan nodded, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face, "Yes. Have I caused you any trouble?"
Yu Qiaoqiao thought of the strange looks from her classmates today and nodded.
Chen Yan asked, "Then did I cause trouble for your roommate as well?"
Yu Qiaoqiao thought of her roommate who had been chatting excitedly for the whole morning and even ignored the class, and nodded again.
Chen Yan said, "Isn't this wrong? Then of course I have to treat you to a meal to make amends!"
After saying that, Chen Yan looked at Zhao Ying and asked, "Is what I said reasonable?"
Zhao Ying, who was still eating peanuts, answered again without even looking up, "That makes sense!"
Yu Qiaoqiao opened and closed her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Is it reasonable?
Isn't it unreasonable?
Why do I always feel weird...
Is there something wrong?
After the meal, when they were about to say goodbye, Yu Qiaoqiao still didn't give up. She took out the movie tickets and buffet coupons and wanted to return them to Chen Yan.
But when Chen Yan saw those tickets, he acted as if he had seen a hot yam and refused to take them.
And use a bunch of words like,
"Give it to me. I can't split myself to see it."
"I've given it all to you. There's no reason to take it back."
"It expires today, don't waste it. If you don't want it, give it to your roommate. If you don't like it, throw it away."
’s twisted logic forcibly stopped Yu Qiaoqiao from returning the money.
In the end, the conversation got so intense that Chen Yan simply said, "I don't care anymore. Sorry to bother you with these tickets. I'll treat you to dinner next time." Then, he ran away.
Once again, Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying were left on the side of the road...
Looking at Chen Yan's fleeing figure, Zhao Ying asked curiously, "Qiaoqiao, do you think he poisoned these tickets?"
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at the money in her hand that she had not returned, and she was also confused, " I don't know..."
On the way back to school, Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying were both silent.
Zhao Ying was thinking about Chen Yan. She felt that Chen Yan seemed very interesting, as if he was hiding some secret.
Yu Qiaoqiao was thinking about Chen Yan's invitation to dinner.
Without Chen Yan to fool people, Yu Qiaoqiao's IQ took the upper hand again.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
I came out this time to return the things to Chen Yan. Why didn’t I return the things and instead ate his meal?
Not only did I have to eat one meal, but I also had to take the whole dormitory to eat another one... ?
This is too weird!
I received flowers, got more than a dozen tickets, and even had a thank-you dinner from the other party...
This is so weird no matter how you think about it...!
Could it be that I have been tricked?
Should I talk to Chen Yan again to find out what went wrong?
…
When they returned to the dormitory, before Yu Qiaoqiao could say anything, Zhao Ying told her that Chen Yan was inviting the entire dormitory to a buffet and a movie tonight, and would also treat everyone to dinner at the weekend.
So the dormitory suddenly became a sea of joy.
Seeing the happy expressions of her roommates, as well as the voices of "Thank you Qiaoqiao." "Qiaoqiao, your friend is so nice." "Qiaoqiao, Mu Ma~", Yu Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed at first, but gradually, she couldn't help but be infected. A smile slowly appeared on her face.
Looking at her happy roommates, Yu Qiaoqiao sighed slowly in her heart.
Well, since everyone is so happy, let's just do it this once...
But, from now on, I really can’t accept gifts from Chen Yan anymore…
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain and pay it back...
…
At the same time, Chen Yan was on his way home.
As he walked, he opened the game and took a look.
The wealth value increased by another 230. This is the lunch money for Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying today.
This means that more than 2,000 yuan has been obtained.
Chen Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Qiaoqiao is a girl who is really easy to please. She is really suitable for making money."
"But... the food at the Yan family's restaurant is too cheap. It's hard to make a big profit."
Thinking of this, Chen Yan pondered for a while, "In two days, I will invite Qiaoqiao and her roommates to dinner. I must choose a more expensive place. Speed up the payment process. I will try to get a million cash back as soon as possible."
"Yeah. That's it!"
