Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Lu Yuan sensed that something was wrong with Peng Jiahe and said somewhat impatiently, "Why are you asking me what kind of phone to buy? Just pick out your own phone."

Peng Jiahe nodded blankly and said, "Okay, I'll go choose a phone!"

Looking at Peng Jiahe, Lu Yuan frowned and asked Yang Chu, "What did you say to her? How did she become like this?"

Yang Chu smiled and shook his head, saying, "He didn't say anything, I guess he's growing up!"

"If only she were grown up, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Yang Chu smiled but didn't say much. Instead, she said to Lu Yuan, "I feel that she lacks a sense of security, especially the fear of being left unattended. You'd better keep an eye on her."

Lu Yuan nodded without saying anything. After all, this was only their second meeting with Yang Chu, and there was no need to tell Yang Chu everything.

A few minutes later, Peng Jiahe held up her phone and said to Yang Chu and Lu Yuan, "I've made my choice!"

Lu Yuan glanced at the phone in Peng Jiahe's hand and asked, "How much is it?"

"One thousand four hundred and ninety-nine!"

Lu Yuan stared wide-eyed at Peng Jiahe in disbelief and said, "Are you sure it's one thousand four hundred and ninety-nine, not fourteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?"

"I'm sure! Why are you so annoying! Go pay the bill."

Lu Yuan was still somewhat incredulous and looked at the sales assistant, asking, "Really one thousand four hundred and ninety-nine?"

The sales assistant nodded and said, "It is indeed one thousand four hundred and ninety-nine."

Having received an affirmative answer, Lu Yuan looked at Peng Jiahe and said, "When did you change your ways? I didn't know. I estimated that you would have bought something for at least five or six thousand, how come you bought something so cheap?"

Peng Jiahe rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan, then turned her head away without saying a word.

Yang Chu smiled and shook his head, then handed his bank card to the sales assistant and said, "Checkout! We'll settle everything together."

When Lu Yuan heard that Yang Chu wanted to pay the bill together, he quickly stopped him, saying, "No, no, no! Let's pay separately. You've already gone to enough trouble today. It would be unfair to make you spend more money."

"It's alright. The two of you spent less than 2,500 yuan in total. There's no need to haggle over it. You're both returning from the U.S., so it's good to help each other out."

After Yang Chu finished speaking, he gestured to the sales assistant to swipe the card.

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Lu Yuan felt indebted to Yang Chu again. After thinking it over, he said, "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."

After Lu Yuan left, Peng Jiahe looked at Lu Yuan's retreating figure and asked Yang Chu, "What did he go to do?"

"He's probably going to make a phone call!"

Does he know anyone in the country?

"I should be asking you that! I don't even know your situation, how could I possibly know if he knows anyone in China?"

"That makes sense!"

After Peng Jiahe finished speaking, he came to his senses and looked at Yang Chu, saying, "You don't even know our situation, so why are you advising me to buy a cheap phone? I feel like I'm losing hundreds of millions."

Yang Chu smiled and shook his head, without saying anything more.

Peng Jiahe smiled and sat down beside Yang Chu, asking, "What did you do before?"

"After graduating from university, I have been working as an assistant to my parents."

"And what about your parents? What do they do?"

“My parents ran a Chinese restaurant in the U.S., and business was pretty good. But a while ago, something unexpected happened, so I sold the restaurant and came back.”

Upon hearing that Yang Chu's parents had met with an accident, Peng Jiahe said with a somewhat downcast tone, "You're all alone now, aren't you?"

Seeing Peng Jiahe's expression, Yang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! I'm all alone now too."

Yang Chu was an orphan in his previous life, and he was always alone in this world.

Peng Jiahe saw loneliness in Yang Chu's eyes and couldn't help but lean her head on Yang Chu's shoulder, saying, "Maybe I'll become alone in the future too. When that happens, I'll come find you, and we can keep each other warm. That way, neither of us will be considered alone."

Yang Chu laughed and nudged Peng Jiahe off his shoulder with one finger, saying, "I'm not as fragile as a little kid like you. 'Stay warm together' sounds nice, but you're probably just trying to cling to me!"

Peng Jiahe slapped Yang Chu's hand away and said, "You're really being ungrateful. If you don't want to, then forget it."

After saying that, Peng Jiahe arrogantly turned her head to the side and looked around aimlessly.

Yang Chu chuckled and said, "Alright! If you ever have nowhere to eat, come find me, I'll take care of you, okay?"

Peng Jiahe turned her head to the side, but the corners of her mouth still curled up, and she said arrogantly, "I don't care!"

Yang Chu also noticed the change in Peng Jiahe's words, smiled, and didn't say anything more.

After waiting for two more minutes, Lu Yuan came back and said, "Let's go! I owe you a favor today, not too much, not too little. I'll take you to meet someone, which will be a way of repaying that favor."

Yang Chu raised an eyebrow, probably guessing that Lu Yuan was going to take him to see Jiang Haokun. Yang Chu was originally going to refuse.

But then she remembered that Jiang Haokun was supposed to propose to Gan Jing today, which meant she could sign in twice more, and maybe she could get some good skills from it, so she nodded and agreed.

The group soon arrived at a party.

Yang Chu teased Lu Yuan, saying, "You didn't bring me here to crash the party, did you?"

Lu Yuan was actually a little embarrassed, so he dodged the question and said, "As long as there's food, who cares where it came from! Look at Jiahe, they've already started eating good food. Let me tell you, a lot of things here aren't cheap, especially the Australian ham over there, that's really good stuff."

Yang Chu was about to tease Lu Yuan again with a wry smile when Peng Jiahe stuffed a donut into Yang Chu's mouth.

"This is quite delicious, you should try it."

Yang Chu took a bite of the donut in her mouth and said, "I can't refuse to try it! You've already stuffed it into my mouth."

Peng Jiahe chuckled and pulled Yang Chu along to search for more delicious food.

Lu Yuan also followed Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe furtively, occasionally offering suggestions on what to eat.

Yang Chu was rather timid and felt that it was inappropriate to sneak food like this; it would be embarrassing if he got caught.

However, Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe kept dragging Yang Chu around.

Just as the three were wandering around, the party's male and female protagonists arrived.

That's right, it was Jiang Haokun and Gan Jing who made their appearance.

Gan Jing, Jiang Haokun, and Lu Yuan were college classmates. Lu Yuan and Gan Jing were a couple in college, but Lu Yuan had an accident in the United States and went to jail. For various reasons, he lost contact with Gan Jing.

When Lu Yuan saw Gan Jing again today, his eyes were somewhat glazed over.
