Chapter 41: Rival?
Ji Qingying didn't mean to do anything else. Furthermore, she didn't want Fu Yanzhi to misunderstand something.
Just that Jian Ping had greeted her and he was her senior in the field so she thought it polite to return his greeting.
When she came over, Jian Ping smiled at her and asked her straight away before she could have any chance of refusing. "What a coincidence, what do you want to eat?"
Ji Qingying couldn't help but laugh and said softly, "I'm sorry."
She gestured to a table behind her, "I have an appointment with my friend."
Jian Ping was stumped for words and looked at her with astonishment written all over his face.
Ji Qingying didn't explain much, but made her apologies, "Next time I will invite Teacher Jian to have a meal."
Hearing her words, he did not force her any longer.
"It was me who was rude first."
Ji Qingying simply nodded in reply and turned to the opposite side.
She didn't pay attention to Jian Ping anymore. She went straight towards Fu Yanzhi's table and sat down as she asked, "When did you arrive?"
"Five minutes ago."
Just as it was normal for him, both his expression and tone were very calm.
"Oh", Ji Qingying replied with a smile plastered on her face, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Fu Yanzhi glanced at the menu she was holding, "You can decide, up to you."
"Should I order for both of us?"
Ji Qingying implied while looking at him.
"En."
Ji Qingying didn't eat her breakfast in the hotel restaurant very often. Most of the time, she opted to eat with Rong Xue in the small shop outside.
She went through the menu and simply recommended a few dishes that she thought were to his tastes.
Fu Yanzhi did not make a move to reject anything she had ordered so far.
While waiting for the meal, Ji Qingying tried hard to find a topic for some conversation to flow.
"Are you going to visit the shooting site later?"
Fu Yanzhi nodded, "Yes."
Upon hearing this answer, Ji Qingying's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something, "Do you plan on taking a look around?"
"There are quite a few scenic spots nearby, including historical sites." She added.
She wore delicate make-up today. When she spoke, the corner of the eyebrows lifted up with her smile, which was by itself bright and charming.
One couldn't help but have their gazes attracted to her.
Fu Yanzhi paused slightly and met her line of sight "Have you been to that place before?"
"En."
Ji Qingying said, "A few days ago, I went there together with Rongxue and Teacher Jian."
She had always liked historical things, and it happened that several designers wanted to relax and she also wanted to take a look, therefore she went with them.
"Hm." Fu Yanzhi replied and asked in a tone that showed his indifference, "Teacher Jian?"
"Right."
