Ji Lanfeng's words fell, and Meng Jingwei directly put an arm around him like a close buddy. "We're too familiar with each other, so I don't feel anything for you. I prefer those young, fresh meat who make my heart flutter at first sight. By the way, you've been in the entertainment industry for so long, you must know a lot of young, fresh meat, right? Introduce a few to me later."
These words were deliberately spoken for Qing Muye to hear.
Heh.
Doesn't everyone have a hobby?
Even if you, Qing Muye, have Yun Shasha, I, Meng Jingwei, can have young, fresh meat.
Playing games, everyone can play.
Qing Muye heard everything Meng Jingwei said. His temples throbbed with anger, but he could only suppress it. "If you dare to corrupt Awei, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Since he had told Ji Lanfeng that he was her brother, any words now were a warning from a brother's perspective.
Hearing his words, Ji Lanfeng turned and smiled at Qing Muye, "I wouldn't dare, but I can't stop those men from throwing themselves at her."
As expected of a good 'brother', Ji Lanfeng cooperated fully with Meng Jingwei, deliberately provoking Qing Muye.
Meng Jingwei looked at Ji Lanfeng and subtly gave him a look, intending to praise his intelligence.
"Of course, I, Meng Jingwei, never lack suitors."
Her words were overly narcissistic but not exaggerated.
"Hey, aren't you guys leaving yet?"
A few people who had walked far ahead, Tang Si noticed that the three of them hadn't followed, so he beckoned them to hurry up.
Then, Meng Jingwei, carrying things in one hand and with her other arm on Ji Lanfeng's shoulder, said, "Crazy, hurry up. I remember your parents used to do barbecue, and your barbecue skills were top-notch. I have to taste your skills today, hahahaha..."
They chatted and walked, leaving Qing Muye far behind.
Accustomed to being treated with the utmost respect, Qing Muye's expression turned ashen when he was suddenly neglected and even left behind. The veins on the back of his hand holding the items bulged, clearly showing his anger.
Endure.
Endure!
He admonished himself to remain calm once again, then eased his anger and followed.
He walked swiftly and soon caught up with Ji Lanfeng and Meng Jingwei.
About two meters behind them, he followed, listening to their conversation.
Meng Jingwei had her arm around Ji Lanfeng's shoulder, chatting and laughing with him, occasionally tilting her head back and laughing heartily, completely unconcerned about her image.
And Ji Lanfeng never had any celebrity baggage with her.
They chatted so freely and casually.
Qing Muye tried to speak, but he was completely ignored by the two of them.
"You old hag, do you remember when we climbed over the wall to go online? You carried me in games, but we lost five in a row."
"That's because you're an idiot. If you weren't so bad at playing, I wouldn't have lost five in a row? Impossible."
They were talking about games, and Qing Muye seized the opportunity to interject again, "You guys wouldn't have climbed over the wall to play games together in high school, would you?"
Ji Lanfeng tilted his head, his gaze bypassing Meng Jingwei to look at Qing Muye, and nodded, "Yes..."
However, his single word was immediately interrupted by Meng Jingwei.
She patted Ji Lanfeng's shoulder, "Speaking of games, I remember they said you were caught by the teacher when you climbed over the wall to play games, and they made you stand on the podium, hahahaha..."
Thinking of something happy, Meng Jingwei laughed with such abandon that she swayed.
Her laughter was infectious, making Ji Lanfeng also burst into hearty laughter.
Qing Muye had not been a part of Meng Jingwei's past.
Listening to the two of them reminisce about their past, Qing Muye found it both interesting and regrettable.
Regrettable that he met her too late.
Of course, these emotions only accounted for one-fifth; the rest was all jealousy and anger.
Damn woman, she had only broken up with him for just over three months and was already linking arms with another man, treating him like he didn't exist.
It was simply... too much!
After they reached the mountain, the men started setting up the grill to prepare skewers; the girls began preparing tables and plates.
Men and women cooperated, with clear division of labor, so their work efficiency was naturally high.
Because Ji Lanfeng's parents used to do barbecue, and Ji Lanfeng had been helping them at their stall since he was young, his barbecue skills were excellent.
He naturally couldn't refuse and had to stand by the grill to cook the skewers.
Steve assisted Ji Lanfeng, while Tang Si, who had long admired Steve, clung to him like a piece of candy, helping him assist Ji Lanfeng.
The few girls, with nothing else to do, sat on the ground and started a game of cards.
Cheng Xiaorui pulled Shi Ran and Lin Meng, and the three of them played cards together. Since Cheng Xiaorui had difficulty speaking, and Han Yu was worried about communication difficulties among them, he stayed with Cheng Xiaorui the whole time.
With the three girls playing cards together, Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye seemed a bit redundant.
Meng Jingwei ignored Qing Muye, who was looking at the scenery, turned and walked into the nearby jungle, wanting to take a stroll and enjoy the breeze.
The area on the mountain slope was flat. Perhaps because it was a large rock, there were no weeds, and it was very sheltered from the wind, posing no fire hazard.
Meng Jingwei had also researched extensively online before confirming this location.
At the same time, while searching online, she also learned about a cave on the other side, which was an abandoned mine left from previous underground mining, and there were also giant salamanders in the mine.
With nothing else to do, she thought it was better to go for a walk down the mountain than to stand awkwardly here.
The mountain slope was very close to the foot of the mountain. After walking for a few minutes in the thorny bushes, she descended the mountain. Following the location she had searched yesterday, she found the abandoned mine.
Standing at the entrance of the mine, a gust of cool wind blew, which was very refreshing on a hot summer day.
Just as she was about to walk in, she heard faint sounds behind her.
Turning around, she was surprised to find that the person standing behind her was... Qing Muye.
"Why did you follow me?"
Meng Jingwei was somewhat displeased by Qing Muye's appearance.
Qing Muye stood not far away, his hands in his suit pockets, maintaining his usual cool demeanor. "This is an abandoned mine with deep pits. It's very dangerous."
"You don't need to worry about me."
Meng Jingwei snorted coldly, feeling that Qing Muye was meddling.
Of course, she knew there were deep pits inside.
If there were no deep pits, where would the giant salamanders come from?
How old was she, wasn't she capable of being careful?
Besides, they had already broken up; this pretense was for whom?
She turned and cautiously walked into the cave.
Qing Muye's thin lips parted, as if to say something, but seeing Meng Jingwei walk in, he had no choice but to follow.
"Ah!"
Although Meng Jingwei was wearing flat shoes, there were too many stones underfoot, and she still accidentally sprained her ankle, letting out an involuntary cry.
Then she steadied herself and continued to walk forward.
She was fine, but Qing Muye, who was following behind her, became extremely anxious.
"Stop!"
Seeing her still heading further inside, and knowing that the visibility was very low and accidents could happen at any time, Qing Muye called out.
