Chapter 306: Chapter 268: The Rise: 104 The door was suddenly opened from the outside. Zhou Yun thought it was the waiter coming to serve dishes, but when he looked up, he saw a strange yet beautiful face. "Ah, sorry, I walked into the wrong room!" The pretty, stylishly dressed young woman said subconsciously, then suddenly paused, looking at Zhou Yun and Song Chi sitting inside the room. Zhou Yun turned his head towards Song Chi, seeking with his eyes what to do in this situation. The strange girl who had entered the wrong room suddenly realized that she was in the presence of two celebrities. Judging by her reaction, she obviously recognized them. Well, they were both shining brightly in front of her eyes; anyone who knew them would surely recognize them. But Song Chi’s expression was a bit strange. Zhou Yun noticed that Song Chi’s expression was a mix of daze and complexity. "Yin Qing?" Song Chi stood up from his seat, "What are you... doing here too?" It turned out that Song Chi knew this girl; her name was Yin Qing. Standing at the doorway, Yin Qing gave an awkward smile and said, "Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?" Song Chi silently stared at her. After a while, Yin Qing gave another awkward smile and confessed, "Alright, I admit it, I followed you here." Song Chi’s eyebrows did not furrow, but he exuded a sternness as if they had. "I’ve told you before, I have no romantic interest in you, please stop following me, alright?" Yin Qing looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, pitifully saying, "But I really like you a lot." Song Chi, expressionless, replied, "There are too many people in this world who like me; how many pieces would I have to tear myself into to satisfy everyone’s affections?" Yin Qing’s eyes lit up, saying, "Just satisfy me first." "Please leave, I am having a meal with a friend." Song Chi was unmoved, even cold-hearted, "And don’t barge in again using any excuse." Yin Qing: "..." Her mouth turned down disappointedly, then she suddenly glanced over at Zhou Yun. "You and a girl alone in a room, could it be that you’re actually already secretly together? Ah, right, you must be, otherwise why wouldn’t you like me!" Yin Qing asserted forcefully. Song Chi still indifferent: "If you don’t leave now, I will call security." Only then did Yin Qing, with a disappointed pout, leave. Song Chi closed the door again, and turning around, sure enough, he saw Zhou Yun watching him with a face full of teasing laughter. "Mr. Song, you’re really surrounded by admirers, aren’t you?" Song Chi raised his hands slightly in a gesture of helplessness and said, "Would you mind not teasing me about this? You should know how troublesome it is with all those people fawning over you." Zhou Yun shrugged, saying, "All those courting me are blocked by He Yong and Sister Lan; they basically can’t get close to me." "Then they’re doing their job well." "Why was your itinerary leaked?" asked Zhou Yun curiously, "Wasn’t it a last-minute flight booking?" "No helping it, her family runs an airline, no matter where I fly, if she wants to, she can find out immediately," Song Chi said. "A rich heiress?" Zhou Yun teased, "She’s pretty and comes from a good family background, why don’t you like her?" "Are you serious?" Song Chi walked up to Zhou Yun, leaned forward with one hand on the table, bending over so that his face suddenly came very close, an intimate pressure enveloping the space, "Do you really want to ask me why I don’t like her?" Zhou Yun’s gaze instantly shifted away. "You don’t have to stare at me like that; I was just joking," Zhou Yun said. Song Chi hadn’t said anything. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Hello, may I serve the dishes now?" A voice came from outside the door. Only then did Song Chi sit up straight. "Sure." The door opened, and the waiter came in carrying the dishes. Song Chi returned to his seat and sat down. Zhou Yun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, giving a silent thumbs-up in her heart to the waiter who had knocked at just the right time. After all the dishes were served and the waiter had left, Song Chi finally spoke, "Let’s eat first." "Okay." Zhou Yun quietly took a couple of bites. She felt that the atmosphere had become a little too quiet. "Don’t you have anything to say?" Zhou Yun asked. Song Chi put down his chopsticks, looked at her helplessly, and asked, "What should I say? How I met her? Or when she began to like me?" Zhou Yun: "Don’t get me wrong, I have no intention to delve into it too deeply." "It seems we’re not close enough to be completely candid with each other and are still at a stage of saying one thing but meaning another," Song Chi said with a faint smile. Zhou Yun saw a hint of danger in Song Chi’s smile. She let out a long "ehh," feigning cheerfulness, "That’s not true, of course, we are candid with each other." "Then tell me the truth, just now when someone suddenly appeared and said they liked you, how did you feel?" Zhou Yun felt that Song Chi was watching her like a tiger eyeing its prey. "I, I..." Zhou Yun knew she had fallen into a trap Song Chi had set on purpose. Hesitating for a moment, she decided to just go for broke and stop pretending, "Alright alright, I admit I was a little jealous, a bit envious, a bit discontented, okay? Not generous at all, not reasonable at all. Despite knowing you don’t like that woman, I still felt upset and found her really annoying. There, I’ve been candid, are you satisfied now?" Zhou Yun spoke one sentence after another, truly speaking from the heart, and upon looking up again, saw Song Chi nodding slightly with a hand over his mouth, holding back laughter, trying not to laugh. "..." Zhou Yun took a deep breath and stared expressionlessly at Song Chi. Song Chi held back for a while, then dropped the smile, raised his eyebrows, and said frankly, "I must admit, hearing you say all that, I’m very satisfied." Zhou Yun wore an incredulous expression. She looked at him as if questioning, "Are you crazy?" Song Chi: "Let’s eat, let’s eat. If we don’t eat now, the dishes will get cold." Look at his face, all triumphant and smug. Zhou Yun silently grumbled to herself, picked up her chopsticks again, and continued eating irritably. But this irritation came quickly and left quickly. After a while, the two resumed their normal conversation, from filmmaking to directors, dramas, from life to gossip. Being with Song Chi always brought happiness and comfort. In the middle of an enjoyable conversation, Song Chi said with an apologetic expression, "I must head to the airport now, otherwise I won’t make it in time." Zhou Yun snapped back to reality, nodded, and said, "It’s so late already, let’s go." Song Chi walked straight over and embraced her. "Wait for you to come back from Venice, will you move to my place, or shall I move to yours, okay?" He suddenly asked. "Ah?" The question came so suddenly, Zhou Yun was caught off guard for a moment. Song Chi kissed her on the lips and said, "It’s okay, you don’t have to answer now. Tell me after you come back from Venice whether you’re willing or not."
