The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 189: Why Did That Lady Boss Show Up?

Gu Yuan glanced at him: "Did I say I was going to see Chi Yu?"

"..." He was overthinking it...

But!

President Gu, since you’re here alone in Heng City, who else could you be looking for but Chi Yu? Yi Shu really can’t think of anyone else.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the pp cup bag Gu Yuan was holding. It seemed to contain an Americano, and Yi Shu immediately asked, "Did President Gu buy this for Chi Yu?"

Gu Yuan: "You talk too much."

Even though Gu Yuan’s expression was normal, Yi Shu knew better than to ask further, simply expressing thanks for her frequent help to Chi Yu.

...

On set.

Soon after Yi Shu left, Lin Ziqin came over with a strawberry-flavored drink for a scene reading with Chi Yu. Seeing Chi Yu resting with his eyes closed, Lin Ziqin asked Xiong Yao beside her, "Is Chi Yu asleep?"

"He’s resting, you’d better not disturb him." Xiong Yao, having just finished his ice cream, tossed away the stick and told Lin Ziqin.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziqin had no choice but to give up.

The strawberry-flavored drink in her hand was meant for Chi Yu, but since he was resting...

However, Lin Ziqin didn’t leave immediately. She took the opportunity to ask Xiong Yao, "Where did Chi Yu disappear to during this time? And ever since he returned to the set, he hasn’t been in the right state."

Xiong Yao lowered his voice, "It’s not something I can talk about, so don’t ask."

"Alright."

Lin Ziqin prepared to take the strawberry-flavored drink back.

At this moment, Chi Yu woke up, half-opening his eyes, lost in thought. Seeing that Chi Yu was awake, Lin Ziqin immediately approached, "Chi Yu, you’re awake. I brought you a strawberry-flavored drink. Do you want it?"

Xiong Yao interjected, "So that drink in your hand was for Brother Yu." Yet another case of one who’s overly hopeful.

Girls tend to feel shy. It’s better to leave it unsaid even if you see through it. Lin Ziqin bit her lip and brought the drink closer to Chi Yu, "Chi Yu, this is for you."

Chi Yu didn’t respond.

Lin Ziqin thought Chi Yu hadn’t heard her, so she moved the drink a little closer and said, "Chi Yu, this is a strawberry-flavored drink I just ordered from outside. It’s for you."

Lin Ziqin has always had a good impression of Chi Yu. However, pursuing someone like him isn’t easy. Anyone who wants to win him over has to take a leap and give it their all; otherwise, there’s no chance.

Finally having the first opportunity to partner with Chi Yu, Lin Ziqin cherished it very much. She planned to put in effort over the next few months on set to let Chi Yu know her feelings.

But her thin-skinned nature made her worry during the time Chi Yu was missing. Now that he’s finally back, she must act quickly; otherwise, the filming would wrap up, and Chi Yu would still be unaware of her feelings.

"Chi Yu, I heard you like to drink flavored drinks on set. I wasn’t sure which flavor you like, so I chose the popular strawberry flavor. I’ve ordered from this place several times, and it tastes great." Lin Ziqin kept talking.

Yet Chi Yu continued not to respond.

Lin Ziqin’s expression gradually grew awkward, Chi Yu’s indifference leaving her at a loss. She turned and cast a pleading look at Xiong Yao. Xiong Yao, naturally understanding, thought to himself: There’s nothing wrong with liking someone. But if you like someone who’s out of your league, it’s like chasing a pipe dream.

"Brother Yu is probably zoning out." Xiong Yao explained.

Lin Ziqin was surprised, "...Huh?"

She really tried it, raising her hand to wave it in front of Chi Yu’s eyes, calling out to him, "Chi Yu?"

Chi Yu turned to look at her, "What’s up?"

Lin Ziqin: "..." So Chi Yu hadn’t heard a single word she just said.

Dejected, she handed the drink to Chi Yu, "Here, have it, a strawberry-flavored drink."

Chi Yu was indeed zoning out. He glanced at the drink and, in his indifferent voice, said, "I’m allergic to strawberries."

Lin Ziqin was even more taken aback, "Ah, allergic? How come you’re allergic to..."

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze and resumed zoning out.

Dejected, Lin Ziqin asked, "Then what flavored drink do you like? I can order it for you next time...or actually, I can place an order right now."

Chi Yu: "I’m not thirsty, thanks."

Lin Ziqin: "..."

The high mountain flower is just like that; without a thicker skin, how can one create opportunities?

So Lin Ziqin kept trying, "Chi Yu, last time you said your dog is both well-behaved and adorable. When will you bring your dog to the set for a stroll?"

She pretended to be relaxed, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Chi Yu said, "The owner doesn’t allow it."

"Aren’t you the owner?" Lin Ziqin was curious.

After asking, she reached out and tapped the bell on Chi Yu’s wrist, making a playful sound, "This bell sounds so crisp, Chi Yu, can you take it off and let me see?"

Chi Yu’s expression darkened, and he tucked his wrist inward, "What are you thinking?!!"

Lin Ziqin looked embarrassed, "Chi Yu..."

"No surprise, the me you usually see is a persona."

"..."

Chi Yu, for once in a decent mood, said a few more words: "I might be upsetting you by saying this, or you might even start finding faults in yourself. You’re a girl; don’t always look for faults in yourself. You can find faults in me, think I’m unworthy of you, and it’ll be easier for you to move on. Don’t waste time on me, it’s pointless."

Upon hearing Chi Yu’s words, Lin Ziqin was visibly taken aback. She didn’t expect Chi Yu to say this to her.

She asked, "Do you have someone you like?"

Before Chi Yu could respond, Lin Ziqin noticed a woman standing behind Chi Yu’s chair, and she was amazed at first sight.

She, she is... is...

Lin Ziqin was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth. Her boss lady!!!

Gu Yuan had already been there for a while, just revealing herself now, right in Lin Ziqin’s line of sight. She stood without moving, silently signaling Lin Ziqin to continue speaking and not to mind her.

Lin Ziqin didn’t know about the relationship between Chi Yu and the boss lady, assuming the boss lady was just passing by, so she reined in her surprised expression.

She continued to ask Chi Yu, "Chi Yu, do you have someone you like?"

"That’s not for you to ask." Chi Yu’s voice turned a bit colder.

Lin Ziqin nodded, "...I understand."

If it weren’t for Chi Yu’s words, Lin Ziqin would have indeed pondered whether she wasn’t outstanding or attractive enough to catch Chi Yu’s eye.

As for whether Chi Yu had someone he liked, it wasn’t something she should be concerned about.

She reverted to calling Chi Yu what she did when she first joined the group, "Brother Chi Yu, then I’ll head over there first."

Alongside them, Xiong Yao witnessed a girl’s journey from liking to letting go, all handled very smoothly by Chi Yu.

Xiong Yao wondered, Chi Yu never bothered with these matters before. After all, there were plenty of people who liked him. If he had to explain logically to each one, he could start a consultancy.

What’s going on today?

He’s even started lecturing!
