but it hadn't reached the level of liking. He simply felt relaxed and comfortable when he was with Jiang Mo, naturally wanting to be close to someone who made him feel comfortable.
Last night's incident was caused by Ye Lin. He didn't eat the cake, so he had nothing to apologize to Jiang Mo for. Thinking about Jiang Mo's awkward situation last night, he wanted to help him out. Today, during the outing, he didn't want Jiang Mo to be left alone.
Chi Yu's sudden arrival disrupted his plans. It was one thing for Chi Yu to assert his dominance in terms of status, but Shen An was completely puzzled by Chi Yu's inexplicable hostility. The Love Variety program was supposed to be a fair competition, and he couldn't understand why Chi Yu treated him that way.
Aren't Chi Yu and Jiang Mo at odds with each other?
Unable to figure it out, Shen An decided to retreat for now.
"Oh, I see." He awkwardly smiled and gave up his seat for Chi Yu.
The front window of the car was slightly open, allowing in the cold wind that couldn't disperse the faint scent of cedar floating around.
Suddenly, no one spoke, and the car fell into silence. Each time Chi Yu approached, it made him nervous. Jiang Mo could hear his own pounding heartbeat.
He didn't remember Chi Yu reserving a seat with him, and he didn't understand why Chi Yu would want to spend time with him. Moreover, every time, it was Chi Yu who took the initiative.
["I've been paying attention to Chi Yu. When did he make this arrangement with Jiang Mo?! Did I miss something?"]
["Why does it feel like they're having a secret conversation? It's like a secret pact between a couple."]
["What kind of battlefield is this? Is there something wrong with me? Why do I feel like both A-group guests are interested in Jiang Mo?"]
["Damn, even if it's not a battlefield, I envy being surrounded by Chi Yu and Shen An. [Bites a handkerchief]"]
["Haha, sorry, I don't think it's a battlefield at all. With these two in comparison, Jiang Mo seems so small. Seeing Jiang Mo shrinking in the corner, I'm reminded of a prairie dog scared by two elementary school kids.】
["The atmosphere terminator ↑"]
After being "driven away" by Chi Yu, Shen An chose a seat in the middle row and the remaining people got on the car one after another.
As Jiang Mo expected, after Ye Lin got on the car, he didn't hesitate and went straight to sit next to Shen An. Shen An was sitting in the aisle seat, and Ye Lin expressed his desire to sit there in a subtle way, but Shen An coldly refused.
"I prefer to sit alone."
Ye Lin didn't feel embarrassed by Shen An's cold attitude. He found a way out for himself and sat in the chair on the other side of the aisle. The conversation from a second ago seemed to have never existed, and Ye Lin initiated a new topic with Shen An on his own.
A couple of days ago, Shen An's attitude towards Ye Lin wasn't as bad, but now it had suddenly become obvious that he was being perfunctory. Ye Lin noticed it, and a hint of embarrassment and sadness appeared on his face.
When Jiang Mo made eye contact with Lu Xuan, who got on the car, they were recording, and Lu Xuan didn't show any negative emotions. In that instant of eye contact, Jiang Mo received a signal from Lu Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan, where do you want to sit?" Lou An followed Lu Xuan onto the car, still holding Lu Xuan's backpack.
Missing out on a date with Lu Xuan, he had to show off today, trying to score more points in Lu Xuan's heart.
