Du Mei and Zhang Qiang have already arrived, and the two of them are sweetly chatting. When they see me and Pei Chenyi come in, they stop their conversation.
"Xiaoyao, Yi, you’re here," Du Mei greets us with a smile.
I nod and ask, "When did you guys arrive?"
Du Mei glances at the time and replies, "We just got here too. Let’s take our seats quickly."
Pei Chenyi and I exchange a glance before sitting down across from Du Mei and Zhang Qiang.
As soon as I sit down, I can't help but look at Pei Chenyi. He is wearing a light gray shirt paired with black dress pants, looking sharp and energetic.
Pei Chenyi notices my gaze and raises an eyebrow, "What? Am I charming you?"
I quickly look away, "Stop being vain. I just wanted to see why you dressed like this today."
Pei Chenyi glances down at his outfit, "Doesn’t it look good?"
I clear my throat, "It looks good, but..."
Pei Chenyi asks curiously, "But what?"
I blink, "But it doesn’t quite match your usual style; it seems a bit out of place."
Pei Chenyi frowns slightly, "What do you mean by that? The clothes I usually wear are all in this style."
I chuckle, "Really? What about that pink shirt you wore before?"
Pei Chenyi coughs lightly, "That was a special occasion."
I can’t help but laugh quietly, "What special occasion? Were you going to be a groomsman at a wedding?"
Pei Chenyi shakes his head, "Of course not. I just happened to run into a friend’s wedding and stopped by to take a look."
I nod in understanding, "Oh, I see."
Suddenly, Pei Chenyi realizes something, "Wait a minute, how do you know I have a pink shirt?"
I was slightly taken aback, realizing I had let something slip.
"Of course I know, you're the most popular male model in our mall, so I have to pay more attention to you."
Pei Chenyi smiled and said, "Is this considered flattery?"
I cleared my throat, "I suppose it is."
Pei Chenyi smiled in satisfaction, "That's more like it."
I breathed a sigh of relief; I had managed to gloss over it.
The dishes were quickly served, and Pei Chenyi and I chatted while eating, bantering back and forth about our outfits and brands, completely ignoring Du Mei and Zhang Qiang across the table.
However, Du Mei and Zhang Qiang didn't mind; they exchanged playful jabs with each other and seemed to be in great spirits.
After finishing our meal, Du Mei and Zhang Qiang left first.
I watched their backs and couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected Du Mei and Zhang Qiang would reconcile."
Pei Chenyi chuckled, "That's the power of love."
I couldn't help but retort, "Oh please, I think Du Mei was just fooled by Zhang Qiang."
Pei Chenyi blinked, "You can't say that; Zhang Qiang truly likes Du Mei."
I huffed lightly, "I don't believe it."
Pei Chenyi laughed, "Whether you believe it or not doesn't change the fact that they are back together."
I sighed; it seemed I had no choice but to accept this reality.
"Alright then, let's go."
Pei Chenyi nodded, and we walked out of the restaurant together.
As I looked at Pei Chenyi's tall figure, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
"Hey, Pei Chenyi."
Pei Chenyi stopped and turned back to me, "What is it?"
I hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "I want to ask you for a favor."
Pei Chenyi blinked, "What kind of favor?"
I cleared my throat lightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just hope you won't tell Qin Jin about our meeting today."
Pei Chenyi paused for a moment and asked, "Why?"
I scratched my head and replied, "It's just... I don't want him to misunderstand that we have some special relationship."
Pei Chenyi thought for a moment and said, "Well, if I agree to keep it a secret, what benefits can you offer me?"
I was taken aback; I hadn't thought about that question.
"What do you want?"
Pei Chenyi rubbed his chin and suggested, "How about you pretend to be my girlfriend and accompany me to a business cocktail party?"
I was speechless. "Are you really planning to do that?"
Pei Chenyi nodded. "Of course. I've agreed to keep your secret; shouldn't you thank me?"
I sighed and said, "Alright then, I agree."
Pei Chenyi smiled in satisfaction. "Now that's more like it."
Looking at the smile on his face, I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest for some reason.
I quickly took a deep breath, trying to calm my emotions.
Li Xinyao, what are you thinking? You can't possibly have feelings for Pei Chenyi.
He's your competitor, and you've only met a few times; how could there be any feelings?
It must be that you've had too much to drink; yes, that's definitely it.
