Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.
Chapter 44 Hexagram 8
Liu Ting was secretly delighted to hear the answer she wanted, but outwardly she pretended to be nonchalant. She readily agreed and said to Bai Mengmeng, "Okay, Mengmeng, send me the exact location, I'll be there in a bit."
Seeing this, Lu Ze wanted to say that he could leave with them, but Bai Mengmeng gestured for him not to speak. Although Lu Ze was a little confused, he decided to follow Bai Mengmeng's arrangement.
After arriving at the restaurant, Lu Ze and Bai Mengmeng went straight to the private room and waited quietly for the others to arrive. They knew this was not just a simple gathering of friends; everyone had their own plans.
Upon hearing the news, Li Yan immediately agreed without hesitation. He was even more excited when he learned that Liu Ting would also be attending, and hurriedly tidied himself up. Wang Fei, however, seemed somewhat hesitant. She didn't inquire about the specific list of participants, but after a moment's thought, she decided to go.
Liu Lin and Ji Feng naturally wouldn't miss such a lively scene, since several main characters would be there, how could they possibly be absent?
Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze arrived too early; only Liu Lin and Ji Feng were already at the restaurant. The four of them sat together and started chatting.
Liu Lin exclaimed, "Sister Ting is so cool! She actually dared to beat up Li Ming." Ji Feng chimed in, "Yeah, if Wang Fei and Liu Cheng could work together more, maybe they'd have a chance to get back together." Bai Mengmeng then confessed, "Actually, I had a ulterior motive for this dinner; I wanted to witness this spectacle firsthand." Lu Ze, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, "Today, Li Yan specifically chose to go over when Liu Ting was at the company and greeted her, but Liu Ting didn't respond to him."
The other three's eyes lit up instantly. Bai Mengmeng spoke first: "Is something wrong with Li Yan?" Liu Lin and Ji Feng quickly said, "You two are in charge of security, and Feifei and I will be responsible for capturing everything that happened today. We'll share the news after they leave." The four of them agreed wholeheartedly.
Just as they finished their conversation, the waiter led Liu Ting and Liu Cheng to the private room. Bai Mengmeng took Liu Ting's hand and led her to the seat they had agreed upon earlier, arranging for Liu Cheng to sit next to her. Li Yan followed shortly after, and Lu Ze seated him opposite Liu Ting.
Li Yan greeted everyone in turn, but when he got to Liu Ting, she ignored him. He approached her with a fawning expression, "Sister Ting, what's wrong? Still holding a grudge from yesterday?" Liu Ting didn't want to talk to him, only replying, "I don't want to talk to you." Li Yan wasn't angry; instead, he obediently returned to his seat, making Lu Ze, who was standing nearby, sweat profusely. What if they started fighting again? Actually, the one most afraid was Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng felt incredibly unlucky. He had been looking forward to a nice meal, but now he was stuck in the middle, and his dark circles weren't even healed yet! Wang Fei arrived last, which was all part of a pre-arranged plan. They planned for Wang Fei to pick up the cake, and then conspire with the cake shop owner to lie to her, saying that they didn't have a delivery driver and the cake couldn't be delivered anytime soon. Since the cake shop was closest to Wang Fei, this ensured she would be the last person to arrive at the restaurant.
When Wang Fei walked in, she found everyone else already seated. Her gaze fell on the empty seat next to Liu Cheng, and she sat down silently, feeling helpless. Bai Mengmeng, seeing everyone had arrived, hurriedly called the waiter to serve the food.
Upon closer inspection, only Liu Lin and Ji Feng seemed truly happy, while Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze kept a close eye on them to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
At this moment, Liu Ting noticed that Wang Fei had been silent and asked with concern, "Feifei, why aren't you saying anything today?" Wang Fei felt a little embarrassed, after all, she hadn't fully processed what had happened yesterday. She quickly explained, "No, Sister Ting, I just drank too much last night and I'm feeling a bit unwell, my throat hurts too." After saying that, Wang Fei looked away from Liu Ting. However, just then, she accidentally met Liu Cheng's gaze, and Wang Fei couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing that she still had the nerve to laugh, Liu Cheng couldn't help but say angrily, "What, big sister, don't you remember what happened yesterday?" Upon hearing this, Wang Fei immediately understood what he meant, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
Just then, Liu Lin and Ji Feng started teasing, "Oh? Is there something we don't know? Tell us!" Wang Fei was too nervous to speak, while Liu Cheng took the opportunity to complain, "She actually filmed my face yesterday! I don't believe she didn't notice those extra videos on her phone when she woke up this morning!"
Upon hearing this, Faye Wong's face instantly turned bright red, as if it could bleed. Seeing this, Liu Lin deliberately teased Faye Wong, "Little Faye, let me see you~" Of course, Faye Wong refused and quickly shook her head.
Liu Lin sighed helplessly and asked again, "So did you delete them or not?" Wang Fei smiled awkwardly and replied, "I deleted them..." However, only she knew in her heart that she had not deleted these videos, but had carefully saved them.
Looking at the embarrassing videos Wang Fei had filmed yesterday, Liu Cheng warned her sternly, "You'd better really delete them, otherwise if these videos get out, I'll never be able to face anyone again!" Wang Fei lowered her head, secretly glad that she hadn't deleted the videos, but also feeling a little guilty.
Seeing this, Liu Ting felt a surge of relief. Actually, when she had specifically dragged Liu Cheng to the party today, she had already noticed that Liu Cheng's phone screensaver was still a photo of him and Faye Wong. Perhaps, their feelings for each other weren't so easily diluted by time.
Liu Ting hatched a plan. She made up an excuse, pretending her phone was dead, and asked Liu Cheng to borrow it. Meanwhile, worried that Wang Fei might not be able to see Liu Cheng's phone screen clearly, she deliberately made some noise. Just then, she accidentally knocked over a glass of water on the table, spilling it. This accident attracted everyone's attention, and Wang Fei happened to see the photo on the phone screen. While everyone was worried about the hot water splashing out, the sharp-eyed Liu Lin noticed everything. Liu Ting was also creating an opportunity and quietly helping them.
Wang Fei sat down with a heavy heart, while Liu Cheng took the opportunity to put away his phone.
However, amidst the chaos, one person stood out: Li Yan. When he saw Liu Ting's water glass about to tip over, he rushed over without hesitation, desperately trying to protect her from the scalding water. Despite his swift movements, some hot water still dripped onto Liu Ting. Li Yan tightly grasped Liu Ting's hand, leading her to the restroom, turning on the tap, and rinsing her scalded area with cool water to alleviate the pain and heat. He also asked a waiter to bring ice to apply to the wound. Throughout the entire process, Li Yan's gaze remained fixed on Liu Ting, showing utmost care, completely oblivious to his own swollen and red hands.
