Chapter 1611: Never Left

At noon, Nan Jiaojiao and Su Miaotong ate the crew’s boxed lunch together. Today’s atmosphere was unusually noisy; everyone, regardless of gender, was excitedly discussing, and being close to the big shots at that time actually became something to boast about.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t join the excitement, eating silently.

By four in the afternoon, work wrapped up, and the styling team sorted out the costumes and clocked out one after another.

Lu Zhenzhen was lurking in the parking lot, parked next to Nan Jiaojiao’s car, which was worth less than 100k. A certain blind person walked right over and opened the car door, prompting Lu Zhenzhen to honk twice.

Nan Jiaojiao peeked out, first recognizing the license plate, then closed the car door and came over, opening the passenger seat and getting inside.

“How long have you been waiting?”

“A long time, I haven’t left.”

“Then you haven’t even had lunch?” Nan Jiaojiao pulled out her phone, searching for the nearest food spot.

Lu Zhenzhen turned the steering wheel and drove out, “No appetite, come drink with me.”

Nan Jiaojiao got excited, “Drinking on an empty stomach? Are you acting as the female lead in a romance drama?”

Lu Zhenzhen shot her a sideways glance, eyes full of threat, “So, are you joining or not?”

“Not joining, let’s fill our stomachs first.”

Nan Jiaojiao placed her phone on the mount, pointing it out, “This Chinese restaurant here, the taste is pretty good.”

She adjusted her seatbelt, asking, “What’s going on again?”

Lu Zhenzhen clicked her tongue lightly, words tumbling around in her mouth a few times before blurting out, “It seems like Gao Zhe and I have developed a friends-with-benefits relationship.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s mouth opened wide and barely closed, after a moment lifting her thumb in praise, “Impressive.”

Lu Zhenzhen recounted twice sleeping with Gao Zhe and getting paid for it, so Nan Jiaojiao grabbed a jacket from the backseat, covered her head, and reclined the seat.

Too lazy to listen.

She never commented on the situation between Lu Zhenzhen and Gao Zhe. Whether stirring up trouble or advising reconciliation, it made no difference. They were determined; even if they broke up, they could still sleep together. Speaking nonsense might lead to blame later, better to pretend to be mute.

“Screech—”

Lu Zhenzhen suddenly braked at the red light, pulling off the clothes from Nan Jiaojiao’s head, “Don’t pretend to sleep, give me some advice. Is what I’m doing abnormal?”

“When have you ever been normal?” Nan Jiaojiao replied grumpily, grabbing it back, “I can join you for eating, drinking, and sleeping, but don’t ask me to discuss feelings. You can’t even figure it out yourself; how would asking me help?”

“Why have you… Lately, you’ve started insulting without using profanity?”

Nan Jiaojiao smirked, “I’m hungry, I want to eat.”

In the end, they didn’t eat at the Chinese restaurant; instead, they went to Mo Tingshen’s single’s party, where Bo Yanching personally came out to greet them, merely nodding at Lu Zhenzhen in acknowledgment, then took Nan Jiaojiao’s hand to walk inside.

Not many people were there; besides old friends, Xu Tingting was present, being the only girl, feeling utterly bored and just about to leave. However, with Nan Jiaojiao’s arrival, she decided to stay, sitting together to have dinner, then playing billiards on the side after the meal.

The gathering lasted until late at night.

Lu Zhenzhen drank a good amount and called a designated driver, but no one felt safe letting her go alone, so Loo Jinyang got in the car, keeping guard in the passenger seat, and stayed until he delivered Lu Zhenzhen back to Lu Family. They offered him a ride back despite him returning the car, being insistent about sending him.

Upon getting home, Nan Jiaojiao collapsed into bed, muttering a few words that sounded like complaints. Bo Yanching bent down to listen for a while, but didn’t catch much of the conversation, yet found amusement, only getting up after she started snoring.
