Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Peng Jiahe rubbed the spot where he had been flicked and said, "Who told you to calm him down so quickly? Let him worry a little longer! Once he calmed down, he'd figure out how to find Lu Yuan and the others, wouldn't he?"

Yang Chu and Jiang Haokun were surprised that Peng Jiahe had such cleverness, but they also knew that Peng Jiahe was right.

If Jiang Haokun doesn't stay calm, there are some things he really won't understand.

For example, Jiang Haokun has calmed down now. He sat on the sofa and looked at Peng Jiahe, saying, "These little tricks you've played may make me lose control of my emotions for a while, but my emotions won't stay out of control forever."

Peng Jiahe raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Haokun, saying, "Oh? Really? I don't think so."

After saying that, Peng Jiahe rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Haokun, saying, "Actually, I really sympathize with you. You're really pitiful. I could tell from your voice. You have a crush on someone, but Lu Yuan beat you to it. So you just waited and waited and waited, hoping that they would break up so you could take advantage of the situation. I really admire your perseverance!"

Although Peng Jiahe spoke lightly, anyone could see that he was teasing Jiang Haokun.

Jiang Haokun was already in a complicated mood, and now Peng Jiahe's provocation stirred up his emotions again. He could only pretend to be indifferent and say, "This has nothing to do with you."

Peng Jiahe quickly put on a cute expression and looked at Jiang Haokun, saying, "Aren't we free? Let's chat casually."

Then Peng Jiahe continued to provoke Jiang Haokun, saying, "When you two were together, did he ever mention Lu Yuan? If he did, then it's over. If he didn't, then you should be careful."

Peng Jiahe looked at Jiang Haokun like a relationship expert.

Yang Chu slapped his forehead, somewhat speechless. Peng Jiahe's skill at sowing discord was really not that great.

But with such mediocre skills, he actually managed to fool Jiang Haokun.

Jiang Haokun was indeed deep in thought with his head down. He knew that this was Peng Jiahe's attempt to sow discord, but some things were indeed true. Just as Peng Jiahe had said, although Gan Jing had never mentioned Lu Yuan, even he knew that Gan Jing had always been concerned about Lu Yuan. This was an undeniable fact.

Peng Jiahe noticed Jiang Haokun's guilty conscience and feigned shock, saying, "You really didn't mention it! Oh no, oh no, oh no, could they have eloped?"

No sooner had Peng Jiahe finished speaking than Gan Jing and Lu Yuan returned.

Peng Jiahe watched Jiang Haokun and Lu Yuan with an air of anticipation.

When Jiang Haokun saw Lu Yuan and the others return, he walked up to Gan Jing and asked, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Haokun asked questions while sizing up Gan Jing.

Before Gan Jing could answer, Jiang Haokun saw that Gan Jing was alright, glanced at Lu Yuan, and then turned and left.

I don't know if it's the tacit understanding between men or between brothers.

Lu Yuan saw Jiang Haokun glance at him and knew that Jiang Haokun was calling him over to talk.

After Lu Yuan left, Yang Chu smiled and shook his head, saying, "What amazing tacit understanding between men! They know what to do with just a glance."

Peng Jiahe looked at Yang Chu with some confusion and said, "What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? The two men have something to talk about!"

What could they possibly talk about?

Yang Chu flicked Peng Jiahe on the head again and said, "Men have just as many secrets as you women. You shouldn't pry."

Just as Peng Jiahe was about to argue with Yang Chu, Gan Jing stepped forward, looked at Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe, and said, "Hello! Jiahe, do you remember me?"

Peng Jiahe nodded and said, "I remember! We met in the Ugly Country."

"Yes! You were just a child when I left!"

As Peng Jiahe took some food out of his pocket, he said to Gan Jing, "I am too!"

Gan Jing smiled and nodded, then said to Peng Jiahe with a look of shame, "I've heard about your father's situation. I'm sorry!"

Peng Jiahe paused in his eating and looked at Gan Jing, saying, "You don't need to apologize. It's all that bastard Lu Yuan's fault."

Peng Jiahe seemed to be thinking of something else, and said with feigned helplessness, "There's nothing I can do, he's my guardian after all!"

Gan Jing, seemingly lost in thought, looked at Peng Jiahe and asked, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Peng Jiahe glanced at Gan Jing, seemingly lost in thought, and remained silent.

Just as Gan Jing was about to offer to stay at his place, he saw Yang Chu again and swallowed his words. He looked at Yang Chu and said, "Hello, I am Gan Jing, Lu Yuan's... friend. I don't know your name yet."

Yang Chu smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello, Yang Chu. You and Lu Yuan can be considered friends, right?"

Peng Jiahe stuffed the half-eaten cake into Yang Chu's mouth and said, "Can't you speak properly? What do you mean by 'friends'? We are friends, okay?"

Yang Chu took the cake out of his mouth and said, "Come on, we've only known each other for less than twelve hours! Don't you even bother to find out who your friends are?"

Peng Jiahe looked at Yang Chu and said, "What's there to pry into? Do you think Lu Yuan and I are bad people?"

"I don't know, bad people don't have the word 'bad' written on their faces."

"Hey, you're going to challenge me, aren't you?"

Yang Chu smiled and said, "Alright, friends aren't just someone you say you're friends; you only know if someone is a friend after spending a lot of time with them."

Peng Jiahe thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems to be what you said, but I think you're a good friend."

When Gan Jing heard Peng Jiahe dodge the subject again, he quickly asked Yang Chu, "Do you live together?"

Yang Chu shook his head and said, "I found a hotel to stay in after I got off the plane. It seems like the two of them are still wandering the streets! If you want to make some arrangements, that's fine. If not, I can take them to a hotel."

Just as Gan Jing was about to suggest that Peng Jiahe stay at his place, he heard Peng Jiahe say to Yang Chu, "You've already arranged a place to stay? You're so fast!"

"Otherwise what? I estimate I'll be staying in a hotel for a month or two, so of course I need to prepare early."

Gan Jing looked at Yang Chu with puzzlement and asked, "Why are you staying for so long?"

Yang Chu said somewhat helplessly, "There's nothing I can do! I just came back from the U.S. and I want to settle down in Shanghai. The first thing I need to do is buy an apartment, and the renovation and other things will definitely take a month or two."

Gan Jing nodded, looking like he understood, and said, "So you didn't buy the house before you went back to China?"

"No! Anyway, we can make arrangements after we get back to China. It's just a matter of staying in the hotel for a while longer!"
