Chapter 780 Never like anybody else
?"We should celebrate!"
Chyou declared after they wrapped up with the shooting for the day. As they were all packed up and ready to leave, Chyou was struck with an idea.
"Today was Yating's first day in front of the camera, officially acting like a performer. Just like us. We should celebrate such a great start!"
Yin stiffened. He thought the day was finally over and he grab Chyou away from this man but instead, she suggested something that would only extend spending time with him even longer.
Yating scratched his head. "It wasn't such a good start really. I fumbled a lot of times. And I was still unable to get the scene right."
"You will learn!" She furiously patted his head. "Everybody did a great job so we should definitely enjoy a wonderful team dinner~" N♡vεlB¡n: A Haven for Bookworms and Dreamers.
Everybody's ears perked up with that and their heads snapped at her with their sparkling gazes.
A team dinner with Queen Chyou! And that too free food!
The director was also in some mood for a chilled beer so he gave a thumbs up. "Cool. Let's stuff our stomachs with some good meat and beer."
—
It was a chaotic time in the restaurant come club where three pots of hot pot were steaming and boiling with a delicious smell of the tender meat and veggies wafting in the air.
"Ah, ah, hot, hot, hot!" Chyou fanned her mouth, stuffing a piece of cabbage wrapped in meat.
Yin shook his head and took a tissue, wiping the corner of her mouth. "You are such a clutz. Cool down the meat first and then eat. Do you want to burn your tongue?"
Three men from the team whistled hard at their public display of affection. One of them coughed. "Queen Chyou, will you please not burn the singles around here with envy?"
Yin raised his brow. "If you don't want to burn with envy, then you should quickly find an amazing girlfriend like my Chyou and burn other singles with envy."
Chyou could see it like a movie playing out in front of her. Women on the set surely showed interest in Yating because of his handsome looks, his position in Dream High and the fact that he was Gu Rong's son. But now their gazes turned to like those of wolves who hungrily eyed their prey.
From just an interest based on looks and wealth, Yating had suddenly changed for them into an ideal man for every woman seated at the table.
One of the guys asked, "Sir Gu, does that mean I should find a woman who wouldn't judge me for the figurine collection I have?"
"Ew, gross!"
"Shut up! What do you know about figurines anyway!?"
Yating laughed. "Yeah. If you could show her that then guess you have found your keeper."
A woman gasped. "I look the silliest without makeup, Sir Gu. You must be joking if you say that I should meet my boyfriend without makeup on! That's a nightmare!"
"Do you intend to sleep beside your partner with your makeup on for the rest of your life?"
"...It actually feels really uncomfortable."
"Like a wise man once said, if your man cannot accept your dark circles, then he doesn't deserve your fair circles either."
The woman went quiet for a long moment and then laughed hard. "Fair circles? Is that even a thing?"
Yating shrugged. "My knowledge about makeup is as limited as a penguin's knowledge about surfing. We are both just waddling through uncharted territory."
The air took a swing in Yating's favor, making Yin's chest swell with bitterness. Suddenly, everybody was surrounding him but what tugged his heart the most was Chyou who was laughing heartily right by his side.
A laughter that was because of Gu Yating, not Cheng Yin.
On the other side, Yating entertained the silly questions of the staff when a waiter stopped by him. "May I take your order please?"
"Oh yeah, we need some more beer and-" Yating said as he looked up but froze hard. The waiter in front of him met his gaze and visibly stiffened too.
"Ma...Dong?"
