Taotie Overeats in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 73: Gourmet Emoji Pack.

After leaving the studio, Pei Hanyu had the driver take them to Wei Rui Xuan. He had already arranged for the meal, and the dishes were served as soon as they arrived. Seeing how accommodating he was, Jiang Tao nodded approvingly in her mind.

Pei Hanyu only took a few bites before putting down his chopsticks. His gaze lingered on Jiang Tao, slowly filling with doubt.

Since childhood, he had been very unlucky. He fought against various misfortunes almost daily, having visited countless temples and seen numerous masters across the country, yet none could solve his problems.

Pei Hanyu grew up amidst this constant bad luck. Fortunately, most incidents were minor, not causing much harm but primarily being annoying, so he gradually got used to it.

However, yesterday was unusually calm. The car didn't get a flat tire, no couples fought and spilled milk tea on him, he got home smoothly, and everything in his home worked perfectly—an incredible peace.

He meticulously recalled everything that happened yesterday, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. If anything stood out, it was having dinner at the same table as Jiang Tao. Due to his condition, he generally avoided eating with others. Just like yesterday, how did that kid's ball happen to fly towards them?

But Jiang Tao didn't get hurt as he had expected. Instead, it was the kid's parents who suffered. At that time, he didn't think much of it, only feeling guilty for possibly causing trouble for someone else.

He thought yesterday was a fluke, and he wouldn't see Jiang Tao again since they had only met by chance. But unexpectedly, they met again the next day.

At that moment, Pei Hanyu couldn't quite understand his feelings. He craved the calmness of yesterday's life—something utterly ordinary to others but his deepest longing. If she could grant him such a life, he would do anything to achieve it. But could Jiang Tao really help him realize this dream?

Jiang Tao finished the meal, feeling extremely satisfied. The food today was even better than yesterday's, proving the boss's importance in the quality. Next time, she thought, she must bring Pei Hanyu along to eat here again.

So, she took out her phone proactively, "Let's add each other on WeChat."

Pei Hanyu was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Tao urged him, "Hurry up!"

He, almost instinctively, took out his phone and scanned her QR code. They quickly became friends on WeChat.

Pei Hanyu's WeChat was very clean and simple, like a newly registered account. A message notification popped up shortly after.

He clicked on it and saw it was from Jiang Tao.

Her WeChat avatar was a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup. She had sent him a greeting emoji. It depicted a chibi girl lifting her skirt in a bow to a chibi boy across from her, with a speech bubble saying, "Nice to meet you, please take care of me." When the boy raised his head, the girl had bitten his head.

Pei Hanyu: "......"

Jiang Tao boasted, "My fans made this for me. Isn't it cute?"

Pei Hanyu: "......Um, it's quite unique."

Jiang Tao: "You have good taste."

Then she sent him another emoji. The same chibi girl opened her mouth wide and swallowed an entire table with all the food on it, then burped, with a speech bubble saying, "Thanks for the meal."

Pei Hanyu glanced at the now empty table. He had to admit, it was quite realistic.

After showing off her fan-made emojis, Jiang Tao put away her phone and stood up. "Thank you very much for the meal. I'm leaving now."
