Chapter 174 – Sharing a cabin with the female lead (3)

Ge Mei acted more like a big sister and comforted Yin Qiqi a little. Nobody else made an effort to comfort her besides Ge Mei. Ling Lan had probably already seen through what kind of a person Yin Qiqi was and had no intention to be close to her. Wen Yongchen did not want to have any scandals, and Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming acted like total straight boys, who didn’t know how to pamper women.

When everybody was touring the night market, Yin Qiqi followed behind Li Jinyuan at a curious distance.

When Li Jinyuan squatted down and asked about the prices with the stall owner, the stall owner pointed at Yin Qiqi and said in very broken Chinese, “Good. Pretty, on her.”

Yin Qiqi’s distressed look finally improved a little.

She glanced over at Li Jinyuan cautiously and tried to put on a shy look. However, she wasn’t an actress after all, so she overacted when she tried to put on such a subtle look. The camera had faithfully recorded it all.

Li Jinyuan, too, smiled and said, “Then I don’t want it.”

Yin Qiqi: “……”

Zhong Yuhuan, who wasn’t too far behind them: “……”

Li Jinyuan was so blunt and straightforward!

Yin Qiqi knew that she didn’t stand a chance with Li Jinyuan, so she turned her attention over to Huo Chengming. She had a pretty good idea that someone like Wen Yongchen might chat with her from time to time regularly, but if she was to follow behind him, he most certainly would not want anything to do with her.

So, in Yin Qiqi’s mind, if Li Jinyuan was a no go, and Wen Yongchen was also a no go. Then perhaps she has a chance with Huo Chengming?

During dinner, when Yin Qiqi went to pick up her own food, she purposefully dropped her spoon next to Huo Chengming when she walked past him.

It was so obvious that even Zhong Yuhuan could tell.

She almost wanted to laugh.

This was definitely the first time she saw such a warrior who’d immediately turned her attention to Huo Chengming after she had failed with Li Jinyuan.

As for Huo Chengming.

He didn’t even bother moving his foot, let alone bending over to pick the spoon up.

His hands, though, remained active. He first poured a glass of water for Zhong Yuhuan, then he took away the cola from her and said, “Drink this first.”

Yin Qiqi froze and finally said in a soft voice, “Big Brother Chengming, can you please pick up my spoon for me?”

She really liked to pretend to be the younger one wherever she goes.

Ge Mei was Big Sister Ge Mei, Gu Yuling was Big Sister Yuling. Even Zhong Yuhuan was one of her victims. Naturally, Huo Chengming wouldn’t have been able to avoid that.

As soon as Zhong Yuhuan heard that, she felt oddly unhappy about it.

She might not refer to Huo Chengming as “Big Brother” anymore, but she still wouldn’t allow others to address him that way.

Huo Chengming’s face dropped. He made no effort to hide his displeasure. Turned around, he said to her, “Don’t you have hands?”

Ge Mei and the others all have a peculiar look on them.

Being in the entertainment circle, who could be so blunt? Their personalities were all a front that they put up. Huo Chengming’s words were both refreshing and oddly satisfying.

Yin Qiqi was stunned too.

But she still softened up her voice and said, “I have food in my hand. I worry that I’ll spill them if I bend over to pick up my spoon.”

Huo Chengming, acting 100% like a straight male who didn’t know how to woo a woman. Somewhat rude, he said nonchalantly. “The table is right in front of you. Is it difficult to put your plate down first? And, don’t just refer to anyone and everyone as big brother.”

Having said that, Huo Chengming quickly glanced over at Zhong Yuhuan as though he worried that she was upset.

“I have a younger sister,” said Huo Chengming coldly.

Yin Qiqi’s look just froze on her face completely.

Biting her lip and looking like she had enough, she put her plate down, picked up her own spoon, and went back to her seat.

Li Jinyuan smiled and said, “That’s right, we’ve just met today. It’s not a good habit to just automatically refer to someone like that. Not to mention that our Huo-ge has bad temperament.”

Even at times like this, Li Jinyuan hadn’t forgotten to knock on Huo Chengming and give people a bad impression of him.
