Extra 2

After Ning An had a few mouthfuls of hot and sour noodle soup, she began eating the rice noodles in clear soup.

Wei Jia asked, “Why not eat more if it’s delicious?”

Ning An looked at him blankly. Her lips looked red from drinking the spicy soup, making Wei Jia pursed his lips.

Ning An reacted belatedly and said, “Are you talking about the hot and sour noodles? It’s delicious, but I don’t dare to eat more, otherwise Sister Yan will scold me.”

“Ah……” Wei Jia thought for a moment, then said, “It’s not good to waste. I’ll help you eat it.”

After saying that, he pulled her bowl of hot and sour noodles over, lowered his head and started eating.

Ning An: “……???”

Wouldn’t he indirectly get her saliva? Even though she only took a few sips of the soup, b-but…… it still felt very strange.

Ning An looked at him with an indescribable expression for a long time but he failed to realize it and kept eating.

She wanted to eat his…… his hot and sour noodles.

Ning An swallowed and ate the rice noodle soup in silence. Alas, the taste wasn’t enough……

Gu Fanghua looked at Ning An, then at Wei Jia.

She previously thought there’s some disagreement between the two, but looking at it now, this was no disagreement, it’s ambiguity!

What’s wrong with young people nowadays? They don’t think about studying or working hard, they just want to fall in love.

After taking a big mouthful of dog food, Gu Fanghua suddenly felt that everything was tasteless.

After the meal, the three of them went back to the hotel together.

Wei Jinsheng was at the hotel’s first floor lobby at the moment. He saw them and came up to them, then smelled the hot and sour noodles that clung to their clothes. He was all upset, “You guys actually eat sour and spicy food at this time? Do you want to get a breakout?”

Ning An was looking down at her toes, her mind filled with thoughts of hot and sour noodles and Wei Jia’s happy look as he ate her food.

That was originally hers…… Hng.

Gu Fanghua’s eyes narrowed. “Are you lecturing me?”

Wei Jinsheng panicked for a moment. “No, how can that be? I just want to remind you not to eat food that’s too spicy.”

Gu Fanghua smiled with satisfaction and headed upstairs.

Wei Jinsheng looked at Wei Jia and Ning An with a stern expression, but before he could say anything, Wei Jia pulled Ning An away and said as they were walking, “I have snacks in my room. You didn’t eat enough just now, so I’ll kindly share some with you.”

Ning An denied, “Ah? No, I didn’t want to eat the hot and sour noodles.”

Wei Jia said, “Hah, I know you didn’t want to eat it. Let’s go have snacks.”

Ning An refused, “……But we’ll gain weight. That won’t do, that won’t do.”

“It’s okay, only the two of us will know you had snacks.”

Wei Jinsheng: “……” Am I not human with emotions? What’s wrong with you guys? Can you give me some dignity as a well-known director? Each and every one of you is so infuriating!

Ning An was dragged into Wei Jia’s room in a daze. She was sitting in the bed with a large pile of snacks in front of her.

Ning An stared blankly, wondering how things developed like this?

This scene wasn’t good.

Wei Jia was sitting opposite Ning An, feeling soft-hearted, but at the same time also worried.

She was so easy to deceive that anyone could pull her away. What if she encountered a shameless villain in the future, wouldn’t she be taken advantage of?

Wei Jia was both worried and vexed.

He opened a small packaged cake for Ning An and handed it to her. “Here.”

Ning An glanced at the cake a few times. It looked delicious so she decided to eat it.

She had to soothe her broken heart after losing the hot and sour noodles.

Wei Jia was very happy to feed her. He took a bottle of room-temperature yogurt drink, inserted a straw in it, and handed it to her as well.

Ning An took and drank it. She said, “How much is it? I’ll transfer the money later.”

“Let’s talk about that later. Eat some more.” Wei Jia stuffed her with potato chips and biscuits.

Ning An felt good after eating some more. “This is important, forget it, I’ll do the math myself later.”

Wei Jia raised the corners of his mouth, his gaze hard to describe. “You only think of that now? Too late.”

Ning An raised her head, a piece of biscuit still in her mouth. “Hmm?”

“I don’t want your money, but you owe me a favor.”

Ning An: “……” Too shameless.

Wei Jia smiled gently and kindly. “You ate four snacks in total, so you owe me four favors.”

Ning An: “……” Shameless villain!

Wei Jia stood up and walked to the window. He’s holding his chin with one hand, happily thinking how to use those four favors.

Ning An chased after him and said, “You’re going too far. I’ll buy you another bag of snacks at most!”

Wei Jia’s face turned cold. “Don’t you know that you have to pay for what you get, and I also set the price? If you’re the buyer, you have no right to decide the price.”

Ning An: “……” Makes sense.

Wei Jia added, “This is how my snacks are priced. One bag is equal to a favor. You ate it without asking clearly, how can you back out now? You have no integrity if you did so. How can others trust you in the future?”

Ning An: “……” I want to hit someone.

“Wait a moment.” Ning An suddenly thought of reinforcements and told Wei Jia to wait. Then she called Chen Chacha and asked her what to do about this matter.

Chen Chacha chuckled softly on the other end of the phone and said, “Just tell him that when he’s selling the product, he didn’t tell the customer a clear price and also did not prevent the customer from opening the packaging and eating it before paying. This is a mistake on his part. You’re willing to pay for it as a gesture of goodwill, but it’s not your problem.”

Ning An thought Chen Chacha was a genius.

She hung up the phone and repeated Chen Chacha’s words to Wei Jia.

Wei Jia: “……” Who’s the jerk that led her little cutie astray?

Wei Jia decided that the next time Ning An tried to call whoever it was, she must stop her.

“Alright then, I’ll go buy you some snacks.” Ning An smiled and went out.

As a result, after returning from buying snacks, she and Wei Jia went on the hot search together. Someone had photographed the two of them entering a room together.

As expected, Ning An was scolded by Yan Shanmei.

She dodged the hot and sour noodles, as well as the snack issue, but not the scandal.

Wei Jia patted Yan Shanmei on the shoulder and said, “Since this already happened, let’s make it livelier and hype our CP.”

Neither Wei Jia’s manager nor Yan Shanmei agreed.

Yan Shanmei’s reasoning was that Ning An was the more popular one of the two. In this case, hyping a CP wasn’t beneficial for Ning An.

On the other hand, Wei Jia’s manager was of the opinion that Wei Jia had just made his debut. He hasn’t attracted any girlfriend or mother fans yet, but he’s already fallen in love? This wouldn’t be good for his future development.

Seeing that they disagree, Wei Jia turned to Ning An. “What do you think?”

“I don’t know.” Ning An had always ignored these things.

Wei Jia said, “Call that person earlier and ask.”

Wei Jia decided earlier that the next time Ning An tried to call whoever the other person was, he must stop her, but now he slap himself at the speed of light.

His face hurts a little.

Yan Shanmei asked, “Who’s that?”

“Chacha.” Ning An replied.

Yan Shanmei immediately grabbed Ning An’s hand and said, “Don’t!”

Who knew what devilish suggestions Chen Chacha would make?

Ning An sorrowfully nodded. She shared the same view as Yan Shanmei on this matter. She always felt that she shouldn’t talk to Chen Chacha about work matters, otherwise something terrible would happen again.

Wei Jia and his manager looked at the two of them with incomprehensible expressions. Why did they look horrified when they talked about the particularly famous Chen Chacha?

It seemed like Chacha Loves Drinking Tea was a devil in private.

Yan Shanmei collected herself and said, “I don’t agree with this. Ning An is only nineteen years old. Revealing news of a relationship isn’t good for her image.”

Wei Jia fell silent before letting out a long sigh. He suppressed the idea of hyping a CP and said, “That’s right.”

“The focus now is to clarify the matter.” Yan Shanmei added, “Find another artist and post on Weibo that the other person is also with you and that you’re just playing cards.”   

Everyone nodded.

Ning An suggested, “How about Gu Fanghua? The three of us just went to eat together.”

Yan Shanmei asked, “Can you ask for her help?”

“Um…… I’ll give it a try.”

And so Ning An and Wei Jia went to find Gu Fanghua together, bringing the untouched snacks with them.

Gu Fanghua’s room was the best in the whole hotel and it also has a balcony.

It couldn’t be helped; she’s the biggest name out of everyone there.

“Why you guys looking for me?” Gu Fanghua didn’t wait for them to answer and added, “Because of your scandal?”

Ning An smiled and nodded. “Hmm, can you post that the three of us are at Wei Jia’s place together playing cards?”

Gu Fanghua didn’t refuse, but asked, “Where’s the cards?”

The two froze. Ah, yes, they forgot to buy a deck.

“I’ll handle it.” Wei Jia immediately went out and asked his manager to go buy one.

After the manager came back, Gu Fanghua took apart the cards and played with them for a while. Then she took pictures of the scattered cards and posted it on Weibo, 【I’ve been playing cards with Ning An and Wei Jia, and these two kept losing. Can the heaven give them a chance to win? Being invincible is so lonely.】

After reading her Weibo post, Ning An and Wei Jia felt speechless.

What’s a drama queen? This was.

Gu Fanghua glanced at them and said, “Remember, you both owe me a favor.”

Normally, Ning An would have immediately thanked her, but she had just learned a new trick and couldn’t help but try it out. “It’s too late for you to say that. You should’ve told us in advance, that’s considered a transaction process.”

Gu Fanghua ignored her and instead looked at Wei Jia. “Did you teach her?”

“No.” Wei Jia shook his head. “Chen Chacha taught her.”

Gu Fanghua had a look on her face that said, ‘no wonder’.

Ning An had a feeling that she’s being underestimated.

Wei Jia draped his arms in Ning An’s shoulders and patted her comfortingly while saying in a rather annoying tone, “It’s not your fault that you’re a dummy, it’s fate. Let’s go.”

Gu Fanghua said coolly, “Are you guys going out like that? You’re not afraid of being photographed again?”

Ning An’s body trembled and realized that Wei Jia’s action of holding her shoulder was too ambiguous. She slapped his hand away and like a rabbit, opened the door and scurried out.

Wei Jia: “……”

He turned around and glanced at Senior Gu Fanghua, and saw that her smile was filled with joy over others’ misfortune, looking quite happy.

He inwardly sighed. There were too many obstacles in his love life.

Wei Jia walked out of Gu Fanghua’s room and saw Ning An and Wei Jinsheng talking about something in the corridor. When Ning An saw him come out, she immediately entered her own room.

Wei Jia was speechless. He’s pretty good-looking and had always been called prince charming, why was Ning An so afraid of him?

Laughing foolishly, Wei Jinsheng walked up to him. “Little Ning An is so cute, hehehe~”

Wei Jia gave him a cold look, making Wei Jinsheng’s smile falter.

Wei Jia revealed a smile and patted Wei Jinsheng’s shoulder. He said in a light tone, “Cousin^[1]elder male cousin, it’s impossible for you and Ning An. If you want to ask why……”

Wei Jinsheng asked, “W-why?”

Wei Jia told him, “You’re too ugly.”

Wei Jinsheng: “……”
