After I Picked Up the Movie Queen Who Was Pretending to Be an Alpha - Chapter 18

When Pei Suyuan realized what she had done, she dared even less to take her hands down.

She turned around and whimpered, “Wait for me…” Then she reached back, pushed the door shut, and closed it tightly.

Social death!!!

A full-grown alpha crying like this!!!

Pei Suyuan crouched down against the door and hugged her legs, yet still could not stop the tears. Only after she cried until no more tears would come, and her emotions had improved a great deal, did she go to the bathroom and wash her face very seriously. Then she pressed a cold towel over her eyes for a while.

There were still people waiting at the door. Pei Suyuan did not dare take too long. She hurriedly changed clothes and went out.

When she opened the door again, Wei Jinzhi was no longer there. Only Mu Xinyi was waiting for her.

“Sister… Sister Wei?” Pei Suyuan asked subconsciously. Mu Xinyi was playing with her phone. Seeing Pei Suyuan’s dazed look, she could not help laughing out loud.

Then she walked over and asked her, “What exactly happened to you just now? Did Sister Wei scare you into crying?”

Pei Suyuan immediately shook her head wildly after hearing that.

“No, no. I was watching a movie just now, and I couldn’t hold it in… so…” The more Pei Suyuan spoke, the quieter her voice became, and her face turned terribly red too.

Too embarrassing. So embarrassing that right now, immediately, she wanted to leave this place!!!

But reality told her that was impossible. Not only that, she would have to eat with Wei Jinzhi soon, and then spend the next two days together with her…

No, not just Wei Jinzhi. In truth, she did not want to face Mu Xinyi either.

But she could not avoid anyone.

Especially after Mu Xinyi heard her reason, she laughed so hard tears were about to come out, and she kept laughing!

Only after the two of them entered the elevator did Pei Suyuan have no choice but to remind her, “We’re going to the restaurant soon. Can you stop for a bit?”

Besides, what was so funny?

Under Pei Suyuan’s very confused gaze, Mu Xinyi restrained her smile a little, placed a hand on Pei Suyuan’s shoulder, and said, “Although I’m a little afraid of Sister Wei too, I still don’t think she’s that scary. If you really were scared into crying by Sister Wei… hahaha.”

Pei Suyuan looked at Mu Xinyi expressionlessly as she started laughing again.

So that was what was funny?

Forget it. No matter the reason, it was still related to her.

So it was still far too embarrassing.

Pei Suyuan’s expression management failed, and she only managed to sort out her emotions right before they entered the private room. She even asked Mu Xinyi to check whether her eyes were still swollen.

Mu Xinyi also returned to normal and shook her head. “They’re not swollen anymore. You look good.”

Then she helped Pei Suyuan knock on the door and only left after Pei Suyuan entered.

Without Mu Xinyi beside her, Pei Suyuan relaxed quite a bit. Especially when she realized that not everyone had arrived in the private room yet, and that Wei Jinzhi and Wang Shiming were not there, she let out a huge breath of relief.

But very quickly, she felt that something was not right again. Wei Jinzhi was probably just arriving a little later, not skipping it entirely.

Immediately afterward, she tensed up again.

She swept her gaze over the people seated inside and discovered that Qiao Yaning was surrounded by Wang Pei and Zhai Lina. They seemed to be chatting very happily.

She did not want to join in, so she sat beside Jiang Zhan.

Jiang Zhan was also quite quiet, and Pei Suyuan could finally close her mouth comfortably.

However, she had not kept her mouth shut for long before Wei Jinzhi, Wang Shiming, and Lin Ling came in.

Tonight’s dinner was only for the guests and Lin Ling. Of course, this proper dinner existed because of Wei Jinzhi.

She still remembered that during the first episode, they had only ordered boxed meals, and the filming schedule had been much tighter than now too.

A relaxed filming schedule would naturally make the usual Pei Suyuan happy, but now, she did not feel that way.

Because just now, she had embarrassed herself in front of Wei Jinzhi again.

And she might have been misunderstood too.

……

There were only three seats left. Lin Ling wanted Wei Jinzhi to sit in the main seat, but before he could speak, Wei Jinzhi very casually sat down beside Pei Suyuan.

At this moment, Pei Suyuan’s mind was completely filled with what had just happened, and she did not notice at all that Wei Jinzhi had already sat down beside her.

Everyone seated had already greeted each other that afternoon, and they had spent this much time together as well. There was no need for those pleasantries. Lin Ling directly called someone over to order and asked Wei Jinzhi what she wanted to eat.

“Sweet and sour pork ribs. You can order the rest.”

Wei Jinzhi’s faint voice reached her, and Pei Suyuan jolted, coming back to herself.

Then she realized that the voice was far too close to her. She stiffly twisted her neck and looked to the side.

Wei Jinzhi looked back at her too, her gaze somewhat cool.

Pei Suyuan pressed her lips together, not daring to make a sound. She lowered her head and took out her phone, planning to send Wei Jinzhi a WeChat message to explain what had happened earlier. At this moment, Lin Ling suddenly asked her, “Suyuan, what would you like to eat?”

“I’m fine with anything… You all can order.” Pei Suyuan muddled through, then scratched her head, wanting to lower her presence.

The good thing about Pei Suyuan was that she did not have many expressions to begin with, and her looks were not the bright, lively type either. On ordinary days, she did not have much expression, so no one thought there was anything wrong with her now.

Only Wei Jinzhi clearly knew that she was embarrassed.

This kind of Pei Suyuan was far too interesting. Wei Jinzhi pressed her lips together, and under the table, her leg moved slightly, lightly touching Pei Suyuan’s leg.

The two of them were both wearing long pants. There was absolutely no other meaning to it. Wei Jinzhi simply wanted to bully her.

Sure enough, very soon, she saw Pei Suyuan lower her eyes and look toward her direction.

Pei Suyuan only thought she was being very discreet. When her gaze met Wei Jinzhi’s eyes, she blinked several times, and even her body shifted slightly to the side.

She did not dare look anymore.

At this moment, her phone buzzed.

She opened the screen. The person who had sent the message was precisely Wei Jinzhi.

—[Are you very afraid of me?]

The question was asked openly and frankly, but Pei Suyuan felt like crying without tears.

Did Wei Jinzhi not know what she was hiding from?

She muttered quietly in her heart. Then she glanced up again and discovered that Wei Jinzhi had also sent another WeChat message before that.

—[Looks like Xiao Yuan is very popular with omegas~]

Bah! How was she popular with omegas? Immediately afterward, she thought that this was probably referring to when Qiao Yaning had been talking to her on the bus…

But the content of their conversation had all been about Wei Jinzhi. The one liked by omegas was clearly Wei Jinzhi, okay? What did that have to do with her!

Pei Suyuan typed rapidly, replying to Wei Jinzhi: [I wasn’t crying because of you just now. I’m not afraid of you.]

When it was not spoken directly out loud, Pei Suyuan felt that she did not seem so nervous. She had actually managed to say such a long sentence.

Wei Jinzhi also looked toward her in surprise. For a while, she did not continue bullying her.

Afterward, Wei Jinzhi also felt that Pei Suyuan would not cry from being scared by her. It was just that the scene at the time had been too easy to misunderstand. Since she had felt wronged, naturally she had to bully her back.

When the dishes arrived, Wei Jinzhi kept herself busy eating with her head lowered. Although she had only ordered one dish, there were still dishes she liked.

Braised prawns in oil and sweet and sour pork ribs.

She liked seafood, so she had trained herself to have excellent technique.

Most of the people at the table were chatting on and off. Only Pei Suyuan spoke the least. She buried her head and ate, and she ate especially happily.

Wei Jinzhi was only average toward seafood, but watching Pei Suyuan eat it suddenly made her want to eat some too.

It was not convenient to say it in front of everyone, so she sent Pei Suyuan a WeChat message.

—[Xiao Yuan, feed me some, okay?]

Pei Suyuan, who was in the middle of eating a prawn, heard her phone vibrate and looked over. Then her face exploded red, and she suddenly started coughing.

Pei Suyuan was now one of Yuefeng’s people, and Mu Xinyi was also quite familiar with Lin Ling. Last time, she had already greeted him and asked him to take care of Pei Suyuan more, so Pei Suyuan could act a little more casually.

After all, speaking little was not exactly a flaw. However, when she suddenly started coughing, it still attracted everyone’s attention.

“I’m… I’m fine. I just choked a little.”

Pei Suyuan had left a pretty good impression on everyone. They showed concern for her, and Jiang Zhan even poured her a glass of water.

Pei Suyuan accepted it and said a quiet thank you.

Then she lowered her head and started peeling prawns again.

Only this time, she was not peeling them for herself, but for Wei Jinzhi.

Because she was too afraid.

Just now, while the others had been talking to her, Wei Jinzhi’s leg had kept touching hers under the table, and she had sent her WeChat messages too.

Every message, every touch, meant she wanted to eat prawns.

Pei Suyuan did not dare disobey.

While the others were chatting happily, Pei Suyuan secretly placed the prawns into Wei Jinzhi’s bowl. Then, as if nothing had happened, she continued lowering her head to eat.

There were three or four prawns in the bowl. Wei Jinzhi ate them slowly and elegantly. After she finished, she wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue, then sent Pei Suyuan another WeChat message.

—[I can also make braised prawns in oil.]

Pei Suyuan saw this message without unlocking her phone. She silently read it once in her heart, then looked at Wei Jinzhi in some confusion.

Wei Jinzhi smiled at her.

Everyone at the dinner table was still chatting about everything under the sky, while Wei Jinzhi—

was actually smiling only at her.

That secret, unknown feeling made Pei Suyuan’s heart thump wildly.
