Chapter 56: Caught You

Recently, anyone who had seen Meng Weiyu would say that he was surrounded by the atmosphere of spring.

In the blazing summer heat, he tried the shop’s newest product on the first floor. His taste buds were attacked by the sweet flavor, and he could not help raising his hand to cover his cheek, reminding himself not to become overly addicted to sweetness adjusted by human hands.

“Mr. Meng.” The owner of the cake shop recognized him.

Meng Weiyu naturally did not remember him, but he could chat and laugh with anyone without revealing anything.

“Little Zhoudu bought your cake for me before. After I ate it, I thought I liked it very much, so I came over today.” One reason Meng Weiyu decided to generously let Shen Zhoudu off was because the cake he bought was too delicious. After eating it, many things could be forgiven.

“It really has been some time since we last saw you.” Meng Weiyu was completely an old customer here, and the owner knew him well. “If you don’t mind, we have a few new products here. I hope you can take them back and try them with Mr. Shen. Then next time, if you have any opinions, you can tell us.”

The owner entered the baking room and quickly brought him a packaged box.

“Thank you, but I should still pay.” Meng Weiyu did not like accepting gifts from strangers.

“Take it.” The owner told him not to be polite. “A few years ago, this small shop almost couldn’t keep running. It was only because we received Mr. Meng’s big order that we successfully made it through that difficult period.”

“Is that so?” Meng Weiyu accepted the gift with a smile. At the same time, he casually asked, “What big order was that?”

“Your wedding cake with Mr. Shen.” The owner did not suspect anything and very naturally answered his question.

“Hmph, hmph.” Meng Weiyu proudly pursed his lips.

He carried the cake and left. The owner specially sent him out and pushed the door open for him.

This was a large shopping mall. After Meng Weiyu left with the cake, he did not immediately go home. Instead, he casually entered a few shops and browsed around.

“This perfume suits you very well.” The shop assistant promoted a product and took it out.

“I want this one.” After trying the scent, Meng Weiyu pointed at one of the scent strips.

The shop assistant really wanted to remind Meng Weiyu that the perfume he had chosen actually did not suit him, but as a qualified shop assistant, one had to know when to shut up appropriately. He smiled and said yes, then helped Meng Weiyu take out a brand-new box.

After leaving the perfume shop, Meng Weiyu saw a very flashy store and curiously walked in.

His shopping desire was strong today. Not long later, he came out carrying another bag.

“This should be about enough.” He looked at the bags in his hands, turned gracefully, and went home.

As soon as he got home, he took out a box from one of the bags and placed it out, happily waiting.

Not long after, Shen Zhoudu came home.

“Where did you go today?” The moment Shen Zhoudu entered the house, he asked. While at the company, he had received messages showing one spending record after another on Meng Weiyu’s card. He had not carefully checked what Meng Weiyu had bought, but before this, Meng Weiyu had not done any crazy card-swiping behavior, so he asked suspiciously.

“I already said that once I remember the card password, I’ll return all the money I’m spending now to you.” The moment Meng Weiyu heard him, he knew Shen Zhoudu was actually bringing up his shopping.

“No need.” Shen Zhoudu did not care about the money at all. He swept a glance over Meng Weiyu and continued asking, “I’m just curious where you went.”

“The mall where the cake shop is,” Meng Weiyu answered, not understanding why Shen Zhoudu was not curious about what he had bought, but instead kept asking where he had gone.

“Alone?” Shen Zhoudu continued chatting as if nothing were wrong.

“Yes. It was so boring. Let’s go together next time.” Meng Weiyu did not want to talk about such meaningless topics anymore. He patted the seat beside him and urged Shen Zhoudu to hurry over and sit properly.

Shen Zhoudu did not know what he wanted to do again, but he still obediently walked over. The moment he sat on the sofa, Meng Weiyu immediately handed him a box from the table.

“What is this?” Shen Zhoudu accepted the box in confusion.

“Open it and look.” Meng Weiyu looked excited.

Shen Zhoudu’s slender fingers grasped the end of the packaging ribbon and gently pulled.

His fingers were clearly jointed, complementing the red ribbon like some kind of artwork.

After the box opened, inside lay a finely crafted, high-end lighter.

Shen Zhoudu froze.

“For you.” Meng Weiyu stretched out both hands and pushed the box toward him, a brilliant smile on his face.

Shen Zhoudu looked at the gift he could actually use, but fell silent.

“But you can’t get addicted to smoking,” Meng Weiyu instructed. He quickly followed it with a joke. “You can also use this lighter to burn things or light mosquito coils.”

“Mm.” Shen Zhoudu nodded.

“You don’t like it?” Meng Weiyu had been watching his face the whole time and noticed his expression looked indescribable.

“I like it very much.” Shen Zhoudu immediately raised his head and decisively expressed his thoughts.

“Then what’s with that expression?” Meng Weiyu moved a little closer to him in grievance. He did not understand. He had finally found a good gift that Shen Zhoudu could use, yet Shen Zhoudu did not smile and thank him.

Shen Zhoudu held the gift box. After enduring and enduring, he finally decided to ask him, “Why have you been giving me gifts recently? Did you do something to wrong me?”

Hearing this, Meng Weiyu froze.

“If you did something wrong, just tell me directly!” Shen Zhoudu’s tone inexplicably began rising.

Hearing this, Meng Weiyu immediately frowned. He scratched the hair near his ear. There were some words he wanted to say, but he could not think of the phrasing. So he stared blankly at Shen Zhoudu for a long time before he could only tell him, “I didn’t skip work, didn’t smash a cup, and didn’t cause trouble in the house.”

He had not done anything bad, so this was not an apology gift. It was purely a gift for Shen Zhoudu.

When Shen Zhoudu heard his answer, he immediately looked at him with distrust.

“You really like making me angry.” Meng Weiyu kind of wanted to hit him.

“In any case, I’ll accept the gift.” Shen Zhoudu closed the lid and held it preciously in his hands. Then his eyes stared at Meng Weiyu, looking at him meaningfully. “As for you, I need to continue paying attention and observing.”

“Wow.” Meng Weiyu had not expected things to develop like this. He leaned back against the sofa, adjusted his sitting posture, and complained in an unhappy tone, “I didn’t expect that giving someone a gift would actually get this kind of reaction.”

He was angry. He would never buy things for him again.

“You didn’t expect it?” Shen Zhoudu coldly snorted. “Then why don’t you tell me, where did you throw all the gifts I gave you?”

“I kept them all properly,” Meng Weiyu said proudly.

“All of them?” Shen Zhoudu did not believe him.

“Even the little dog you gave me in high school is still displayed at the seaside villa.” Meng Weiyu stopped halfway through his sentence.

Even the paper note with your phone number written on it, I never threw it away.

“Then fine.” Shen Zhoudu tightly hugged the box, lowered his head, and said in a tone no different from usual, “I’ll forgive you.”

Meng Weiyu: “…”

Forgive what? He had not done anything wrong at all, okay?

“Forget it. Try this lighter first.” Meng Weiyu stopped fussing over those little things.

Shen Zhoudu reopened the box, took out the lighter, and skillfully produced a flame.

An orange flame rose, transmitting a tiny warmth.

Meng Weiyu looked at Shen Zhoudu’s handsome face through the dangerous fire, and his eyes slowly blinked.

“I like it very much.” Shen Zhoudu said the exact same sentence, but this time, there was a little more sincerity in his smile. He placed the lighter back into the box and turned to look at Meng Weiyu.

His neck suddenly tightened.

Meng Weiyu grabbed his tie and pulled him over.

Shen Zhoudu’s eyes widened.

Meng Weiyu opened his mouth and kissed him.

“I understand. Recently, you’ve been unsatisfied.”

“You’re so annoying.”

It was getting late. After Meng Weiyu finished showering and came out of the bathroom, he saw Shen Zhoudu in pajamas lying in his spot, holding Meng Weiyu’s phone. After swiping expressionlessly several times, Shen Zhoudu questioned him, “You changed your phone password. I can’t open it.”

“You secretly look at someone else’s phone and still dare act so righteous.” Meng Weiyu glanced at him and reached out, snatching back his phone.

“Open it.” Shen Zhoudu used a forceful tone.

Meng Weiyu held his phone and sensed something was wrong. He smiled, lowered his head to look at Shen Zhoudu, and asked, “Why?”

Shen Zhoudu pretended not to care and said, “No reason.”

“You’ve been acting weird lately.” Meng Weiyu held his phone, bent down, and moved closer. He used the phone in his hand to tap Shen Zhoudu’s nose. “I should have noticed earlier. The one with a problem is you.”

“What problem do I have?” Shen Zhoudu sat up from the bed and crossed his arms over his chest. “To change the topic, you’re actually falsely accusing me.”

Seeing him counterattack, Meng Weiyu seemed to sense something. But without evidence, he could not make a judgment, so he could only hold his phone and stare at Shen Zhoudu.

Shen Zhoudu met his gaze fearlessly, because the person in the wrong was not him.

The way he had something bottled up in his heart but refused to say it, and still put on an unconvinced expression…

In the past, Meng Weiyu would have said it was very annoying.

But now, his mentality was very different, so the conclusion was different too.

After Meng Weiyu’s thoughts paused for a brief instant, the sentence that followed was: This is fun.

Seeing him quiet down, Shen Zhoudu thought Meng Weiyu was angry and brewing his emotions to argue with him. Because of this, he awkwardly turned his face away and thought about how to calm the war.

“Shen Zhoudu, if you have something to say but keep holding it in, then whatever suffering comes later, you’ll bear it yourself.” Meng Weiyu threatened.

“I’m sleeping.” Shen Zhoudu returned to his original position and used action to show his attitude. He just was not willing to honestly explain everything.

Meng Weiyu stood by the bed and narrowed his eyes.

Shen Zhoudu lay with his back to him. Taking advantage of the fact that neither of them could see each other’s expressions, he still stubbornly demanded, “Tell me your phone password.”

“Why?”

“So when I want to look at your phone, I can.” Shen Zhoudu did not think there was anything wrong with this sentence, because Meng Weiyu often spoke to him like this.

After the words fell, there was silence behind him. Shen Zhoudu was just about to curiously turn around and observe Meng Weiyu’s expression when the bed shook. Before long, a heavy weight directly pressed onto him.

Shen Zhoudu turned over.

Meng Weiyu smiled cheerfully while pinning him down, then poked his cheek with a finger.

Shen Zhoudu’s eyes visibly softened.

“Do you want to go eat with me tomorrow night? I’ll accompany you around the mall to buy things.” Shen Zhoudu seemed to have reacted. Rather than being suspicious and paranoid, it would be better to get along with him properly.

“Ah, that.” Meng Weiyu was not sure. “I’ve been a little busy recently. I might not have time tomorrow afternoon.”

Shen Zhoudu pressed his lips together, instantly revealing an ugly expression.

“I was very free tonight. Why didn’t you invite me today?” He complained first, though he was the guilty one.

“Because recently, the number of times you messaged me has decreased. I didn’t know you were that free today.” There was a hidden meaning in Shen Zhoudu’s words.

“No, it hasn’t.”

“Yes, it has.”

Seeing him like this, Meng Weiyu found it very funny. He pressed down even harder on his body and promised, “Friday, then. The day after tomorrow. I’ll leave the company early and pick you up.”

“Mm.” Shen Zhoudu was gloomy.

Meng Weiyu planned to go back to sleep.

The moment his body moved, his wrist was grabbed forcefully, then he was pulled back.

Meng Weiyu instantly felt the world spin as he was pinned down on the bed instead.

Shen Zhoudu lowered his head to look at him, his expression extremely conflicted. Although he tried his best to maintain his calm, in reality, he had long since been swept into a pitch-black vortex.

Meng Weiyu opened his eyes wide and belatedly realized that Shen Zhoudu really did have a bit of a problem.

The next day, Shen Zhoudu deliberately delayed his departure time and rode Lin Xiao’s car to the company together with Meng Weiyu. On the road, the two of them were quiet, so Lin Xiao casually turned on the radio. It happened to be a host reading a letter:

“Hello, host. I feel like my partner has been cheating recently. In the past, he always arrived home punctually half an hour after getting off work, and he often went shopping with me. Also, his phone was never locked before, and I could casually check it. Recently, he suddenly set a password that I don’t know. If the signs before only mean our relationship has faded, then my friend has also caught him eating with the same person several times. Isn’t this strange?”

Hearing the voice from the radio, Shen Zhoudu’s entire body stiffened completely.

“Mm, mm, mm.” Meng Weiyu listened to the content on the radio at the same time and chatted with Lin Xiao. This was a usual part of their commute. “That’s cheating, right?”

Lin Xiao agreed and said, “That’s exactly the sign of cheating.”

Shen Zhoudu sat on the side, dumbstruck as he looked at Meng Weiyu.

What kind of hint was this?!

“What do you think?” Meng Weiyu invited Shen Zhoudu to join the conversation.

Shen Zhoudu turned his head away and awkwardly said, “What if his partner just wants a change of mood recently?”

Meng Weiyu let out an exaggerated boo. Lin Xiao, who was driving, also really wanted to follow Meng Weiyu and boo together, but when he remembered that the two people sitting in the back were both his bosses, he closed his mouth in time.

“Little Zhoudu, ah, Little Zhoudu.” Meng Weiyu’s hand rested on his shoulder. He shook his finger, feeling that Shen Zhoudu’s slowness in certain aspects was truly lamentable. “You’re very easy to deceive like this.”

Shen Zhoudu turned to look at him.

Meng Weiyu did not feel that there was any problem with what he had said at all. He even leaned on Shen Zhoudu’s shoulder and teasingly used his finger to lift Shen Zhoudu’s chin.

Shen Zhoudu looked helpless.

“Hoo.” Meng Weiyu blew at his ear.

While Meng Weiyu was endlessly harassing Shen Zhoudu, the car arrived downstairs at Shen Zhoudu’s company.

“I’m going to work first.” Shen Zhoudu anxiously unfastened his seatbelt, wanting to escape this car that had trapped him in a difficult situation. Before getting out, he said to Meng Weiyu, “If you change your mind this afternoon and want to eat with me, message me.”

“Will you keep waiting for my message?” Meng Weiyu deliberately asked him.

“Of course.” Shen Zhoudu did not hesitate.

Meng Weiyu’s hand rested on his shoulder. He really wanted to pull him over and kiss him once, but because people were coming and going here, he could only touch Shen Zhoudu’s cheek with the back of his finger before letting him go.

The car left. Meng Weiyu pressed against the car window, his gaze watching Shen Zhoudu as they gradually parted.

“Is Mr. Shen acting a little strange?” Lin Xiao curiously asked Meng Weiyu.

“He is a little strange.” Meng Weiyu returned to his original seat and thoughtfully propped up his chin.

“Did you tell him about recently meeting the intern who treats psychological trauma?” Because Meng Weiyu did not drive, Lin Xiao had to pick him up and drop him off wherever he went, so he naturally knew Meng Weiyu’s recent movements.

“I didn’t tell him.” Meng Weiyu honestly admitted it.

“Why?” Lin Xiao did not understand.

“There’s a reason.” Meng Weiyu perfunctorily answered Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao knew he did not want to say it, so he did not force him. Then he asked about another matter curiously. “You were also very strange today.”

Only now did he notice the unusual part, because it had been some time since he had driven the two of them together.

“Where?” Meng Weiyu did not feel there was any problem with himself.

“You were… teasing Mr. Shen the whole time just now?” Lin Xiao had known Meng Weiyu for a long time, so he understood what he was doing clearly.

Meng Weiyu’s expression was hard to describe. He turned to look out the window, then said with relief, “Fortunately, you could still tell. I thought I had done it too subtly and that no one noticed at all. It made me feel disappointed for several days.”

“It was quite obvious.” Especially compared to Meng Weiyu’s previous attitude.

“Then…” Meng Weiyu touched his own cheek and seriously fell into distress. “Why hasn’t he noticed? Instead, he looks terrified every day, as if I’ve been possessed by a monster.”

“Maybe it has something to do with the image you left on Mr. Shen,” Lin Xiao said. Between him and Meng Weiyu, he did not need to overthink his words.

Hearing this, Meng Weiyu quickly opened his phone and scrolled through his chat history with Shen Zhoudu.

In past chats, Shen Zhoudu had not only called him wife and daddy, but also said he was cute, considerate, and smart. Looking at it this way, there should not be any image problem at all.

“Wu.” Meng Weiyu bit his finger, resentfully muttering, “I feel like Shen Zhoudu likes seventeen-year-old me or twenty-seven-year-old me more.”

What exactly did twenty-year-old Xiao Yu do to him? Why this attitude? So annoying.

Meng Weiyu’s finger quickly slid across the screen, looking at the sweet words Shen Zhoudu had sent him in the past.

“I also want to receive messages like this.” Meng Weiyu resentfully looked at Shen Zhoudu’s sweet confession messages.

While he was inwardly insulting Shen Zhoudu for not knowing what was good for him, another person sent Meng Weiyu a message, and it appeared in the notification bar.

Wei Ziling: If it’s convenient today, may I treat you to a meal?

Meng Weiyu had long guessed this person would pull something like this, so the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He deliberately replied:

Meng Weiyu: Why?

Wei Ziling: To thank you for treating me to a meal before.

Meng Weiyu pointed at the phone, wanting to put on a mocking expression. Unfortunately, Lin Xiao was seriously driving and could not participate in his criticism. Without an audience, Meng Weiyu was too lazy to perform, so he expressionlessly typed a line:

Meng Weiyu: Then I’ll give you a chance to perform.

Twenty minutes later, Meng Weiyu arrived at the company. When he passed by An Yang’s office, he saw him sneakily eating hot dry noodles.

“I’m not the kind of boss who gets upset just because an employee slacks off a little.” He looked down on An Yang. “You don’t have to sneak around just to eat breakfast.”

“I was afraid you would take a liking to my noodles and snatch them.” An Yang, like him, could spout nonsense the moment he opened his mouth.

Meng Weiyu looked at him in shock and shouted, “How dare you have that kind of thought? My husband woke up early to make me breakfast today. Why would I still want to eat the fast food in your hands?”

An Yang was used to his behavior of showing off his love and remained unmoved. However, when Meng Weiyu mentioned Shen Zhoudu, he remembered something. “Recently, the few times you got off work early, Mr. Shen came to find you afterward.”

“Ah?” Meng Weiyu froze.

“Ah?” Seeing his surprised expression, An Yang also froze. “You two didn’t meet? He asked me which restaurant you went to for dinner.”

“Oh~” When Meng Weiyu heard An Yang’s report, he immediately understood something and meaningfully lifted his chin slightly.

An Yang thought he had done something wrong and lowered his head to eat noodles in large mouthfuls.

“Why did you tell him where I went to eat?” Meng Weiyu investigated.

“Because Mr. Shen asked.” An Yang regretted it deeply. “Sorry, I forgot you two are no longer in the period where there was no distance between you.”

Meng Weiyu laughed in anger and asked back, “How are we not?”

An Yang did not dare say it directly. If it were before, Shen Zhoudu would never have come to ask him about Meng Weiyu’s schedule. If there was anything, he would directly contact Meng Weiyu.

“Then if Mr. Shen comes to ask about your schedule again, should I tell him?” An Yang asked timidly.

“Tell him.” Meng Weiyu did not care.

“Okay.” An Yang understood and raised his chopsticks again.

Meng Weiyu was looking at him. An Yang’s noodles had reached his mouth, and suddenly, he did not know whether he should eat them or not.

“If Shen Zhoudu comes to ask you where I am, you have to tell me at the same time.” Meng Weiyu gave an instruction, then waved his hand at him and left.

“Yes.” An Yang answered. Then, inwardly complaining that he had finally left, he immediately slurped noodles in large mouthfuls.

As he chewed the noodles, carbohydrates providing nutrition to his brain, An Yang suddenly realized something. Was his current behavior basically being a double agent?

The day passed in a flash.

Just as he had promised, Shen Zhoudu waited the entire day for Meng Weiyu’s message.

When it was almost time to get off work, his phone vibrated for who knew how many times.

Full of hope, Shen Zhoudu picked up his phone and saw that Meng Weiyu had finally sent a message, but the content was not what he wanted.

Meng Weiyu: I have something today. I’ll come home late. Let’s eat together tomorrow instead.

Shen Zhoudu: Okay.

After staring at his chat with Meng Weiyu for a long time, Shen Zhoudu sighed, then suddenly opened the chat with his friend again.

Shen Zhoudu: Lexing.

Chu Lexing: What’s wrong?

Shen Zhoudu: About last time.

Chu Lexing: Although I took a photo of you secretly following your husband, I won’t tell anyone.

Shen Zhoudu: Recently, Meng Weiyu has been giving me gifts all the time.

Chu Lexing: …

Shen Zhoudu: Tell me, why is that?

Chu Lexing: Mm… courting you?

Shen Zhoudu: Then he just said he won’t come home for dinner tonight. A man often doesn’t come home for dinner and brings you gifts at night. What would you think?

Chu Lexing: I don’t like men…

Shen Zhoudu: I previously thought I had misunderstood Xiao Yu.

Chu Lexing: Is that so?

Shen Zhoudu: But he has really been too strange lately.

Chu Lexing: Do you want to directly ask him?

Shen Zhoudu: What if I ask, and he admits that he’s tired of me and has fallen for someone else?

Chu Lexing: Zhoudu, I don’t know what to say, but don’t go follow Meng Weiyu again.

Chu Lexing: Answer?

Chu Lexing: …

Evening.

Lin Xiao drove Meng Weiyu and stopped in front of an ordinary restaurant.

“Pick me up in one hour.” Meng Weiyu had no intention of wasting too much time here.

“Okay.” Lin Xiao answered, then drove away directly.

Meng Weiyu walked straight into the restaurant. It was almost full of customers. The moment Wei Ziling saw him, he immediately waved excitedly, like a happy puppy.

Meng Weiyu put on a fake smile and walked toward him.

“I hope you don’t mind the environment here.” Wei Ziling helped him pull out the chair. “You probably haven’t eaten in this kind of place much, right?”

“I’ve eaten in many places.” Meng Weiyu did not answer the question directly and casually sat down.

Wei Ziling was a smart person and instantly understood the answer Meng Weiyu had avoided. He smiled at Meng Weiyu and said, “Although I often hear about the lives of rich people, since I’ve never experienced it, there’s truly no way to imagine it.”

“The internet is very developed now. You don’t need to imagine. You can search it.” Meng Weiyu sincerely solved the problem for him.

“How considerate.” When Wei Ziling praised him, there were no personal feelings in it.

“Of course.” Meng Weiyu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of holding a business card. “If I weren’t considerate, how could I cooperate with your interview and provide material for your graduation project?”

When Wei Ziling heard his words, he instantly put on a docile expression and once again thanked him. “Thank you for providing material for my assignment on brain trauma and memory.”

“You’re welcome. My husband is a serious high-achieving student, so I have a good impression of hardworking students.” Meng Weiyu’s attitude toward him really could not be called warm, even though there was always a smile on his face.

“Husband?” Wei Ziling froze. “You’re married? And your partner is a man?”

“Yes.” Meng Weiyu revealed an instant of showing-off attitude.

Wei Ziling looked at Meng Weiyu and said innocently, “So that’s how it is. You’re already married. Then have I invited you to eat too frequently recently? I’m afraid your partner would mind.”

“Mm~ Is that what you think?” Meng Weiyu smiled and looked at his face.

Wei Ziling touched the back of his head and lowered his head. The instant he lowered his head, he revealed a shy expression.

Meng Weiyu raised his left hand, revealing the eye-catching ring on his ring finger, and called the server over.

He was wearing such an impossible-to-ignore ring. What kind of person would think he was single?

“I already ordered the dishes.” Wei Ziling hurriedly told him. “Because you said you had something later tonight and couldn’t stay too long, I ordered ahead. The food will come soon.”

“You’re so considerate.” Meng Weiyu looked at him with an appreciative gaze.

Wei Ziling did not feel joy at being praised, because Meng Weiyu’s attitude seemed friendly, but in reality, it revealed indifference everywhere. Why was that? Was it because his position was not enough to draw even a trace of Meng Weiyu’s attention, or because, in Meng Weiyu’s eyes, he was just an insignificant grain of sand?

“If Mr. Meng doesn’t mind, I also have a recent project about childhood and personality.” Wei Ziling asked with purpose. “May I interview you about your family?”

“Me?” Meng Weiyu drank tea. In his mind, he recalled Shen Zhoudu’s voice, and the corners of his mouth lifted. “I have a husband and a little cat. They provided very perfect conditions for shaping my friendly personality.”

Wei Ziling froze, then asked, “Not your current family. I mean your father and mother.”

“My father was hit by a car and died when I was three. My mother was too heartbroken, so she went traveling around the world and still hasn’t come back.” Meng Weiyu immediately answered the question. Then he laughed so hard he looked radiant, as if talking about this matter made him very happy. “I hope that contributes to your project, hahahaha.”

The more he thought about it, the more amused he became, laughing until he held his stomach.

Wei Ziling was completely stunned.

While Meng Weiyu was laughing uncontrollably, in the corner of the restaurant, someone wearing a hat while eating in the middle of summer stared at Meng Weiyu, sighed, and could not eat even a single bite.

When one hour passed, Meng Weiyu put down his chopsticks, greeted Wei Ziling, then got up and left.

Because Wei Ziling was sitting near the window, after Meng Weiyu went out, he waved to him again through the window.

The atmosphere looked a little reluctant to part. Meng Weiyu even suddenly took out his phone, wanting to take a photo of Wei Ziling.

Wei Ziling immediately posed with a peace sign and revealed a bright, charming smile.

Meng Weiyu’s camera was aimed at the corner. His fingers continuously zoomed in on the image, taking a photo of a certain suspicious black-clothed person who was alone, propping up his chin and sighing.

He looked at the image, satisfied, and left.
