Suddenly, Li Fanjin said coldly, "What else do you want here? I'm going to rest. If there's nothing else, you'd better leave quickly."
Li Fanjin's words were extremely cold. Li Moli felt embarrassed and left his lounge.
Qin Qiaoer returned to her own lounge dejectedly. After coming back, she picked up the script again, planning to have a good look at it. But unexpectedly, her phone suddenly rang.
To her surprise, it was Li Fanjin on the other end. Qin Qiaoer was quite puzzled. They had just met, and she thought she might have left something with Li Fanjin.
The first thing Li Fanjin said after the call was connected was, "Where shall we go for dinner tonight?"
"Ah?" Qin Qiaoer opened her mouth in surprise, not knowing what Li Fanjin was talking about. He had just said he was busy tonight and couldn't go.
Li Fanjin coughed and continued, "Don't ask so many questions. Just tell me what you want to eat. I'll take you there tonight. How about hot pot?"
Since that was the case, Qin Qiaoer didn't think too much and happily agreed to Li Fanjin, "Sure! Since you're free, it's just right for us to have a good meal."
After they agreed on what to eat and when to go, Li Fanjin was about to hang up the phone. Before hanging up, Qin Qiaoer excitedly said, "I'll quickly tell Li Moli about this."
"Wait!" Li Fanjin hurriedly stopped Qin Qiaoer, "Don't invite her."
Qin Qiaoer was completely confused by Li Fanjin's actions. She carefully asked, "Do you not like Li Moli very much?"
Li Fanjin's voice suddenly became low, "Yes."
Qin Qiaoer felt quite distressed. She thought both of them were nice people. Just now, they seemed quite harmonious in the waiting room.
Qin Qiaoer advised, "Li Moli is a very nice girl. What did she do to make you dislike her?"
Li Fanjin sounded a bit impatient, "It's nothing. I just don't like the way she acts. I advise you not to get too close to her either."
Although Li Fanjin said so, Qin Qiaoer still trusted her own judgment. During the time she had spent with Li Moli, she felt they got along quite well.
Since she didn't know why Li Fanjin disliked Li Moli so much, Qin Qiaoer had no choice but to make an appointment with Li Fanjin to talk in detail when they met tonight.
Qin Qiaoer had made up her mind to persuade Li Fanjin tonight. After all, they were all in the same crew and shouldn't have any unpleasantness.
In the evening, they met at the hot pot restaurant Li Moli had recommended this afternoon. Since they couldn't think of anywhere else nice to eat nearby, they came to this place.
Qin Qiaoer actually felt a bit strange. After all, it was a place recommended by Li Moli, but only the two of them came here.
However, Li Fanjin seemed as if nothing had happened. He sat down very naturally and ordered the food.
While eating, they chatted. Qin Qiaoer casually brought up Li Moli, "Why don't you like Li Moli?"
Li Fanjin simply said, "There's nothing about her that I like. She always acts too deliberately."
Then, while eating hot pot, Li Fanjin casually said, "I like you better."
Only after he said it did Li Fanjin realize he had said something inappropriate. But Qin Qiaoer seemed not to have noticed the meaning behind Li Fanjin's words.
She was still trying hard to explain to Li Fanjin, "Li Moli must not be like what you think. Look, she's so enthusiastic towards everyone. She's really nice."
Seeing that Qin Qiaoer didn't understand his words at all, Li Fanjin felt relieved on the one hand and a bit disappointed on the other. For the first time since he met Qin Qiaoer, he found her innocence a bit helpless.
Li Fanjin had only planned to have a meal tonight. But seeing that Qin Qiaoer seemed indifferent to his confession, he felt a bit angry and decided to tell Qin Qiaoer his true feelings later.
After spending so much time with Qin Qiaoer, Li Fanjin's original admiration for her had gradually changed.
He felt that he was about to fall in love with this girl. Qin Qiaoer had a natural charm that attracted people.
He wasn't the kind of person who hesitated. Although his feelings weren't completely clear yet, he wanted to give it a try.
Watching Qin Qiaoer still chattering away, Li Fanjin didn't know what to say. His dislike for Li Moli was purely based on intuition, an intuition he had developed after years of struggling in the entertainment industry.
Li Fanjin sighed, "You're still too young."
"Pfft," Qin Qiaoer laughed, "You're not much older than me."
Li Fanjin smiled helplessly, "It's not about age. It's about experience. Seriously, stay a bit away from Li Moli. I always feel she's not as simple as she seems."
Although Qin Qiaoer didn't know what Li Fanjin meant by "not as simple as she seems", she believed that Li Fanjin definitely wouldn't harm her.
So she obediently nodded.
When they had almost finished eating and were sitting on the chairs chatting leisurely, Li Fanjin thought it was time to tell Qin Qiaoer what was on his mind.
"Qin Qiaoer... I have something to tell you..."
Just as Li Fanjin started to speak, Qin Qiaoer's phone rang. It was a call from Zhao Youting. They had developed a habit of calling each other every night.
But she had forgotten to tell Zhao Youting that she was going out for dinner with Li Fanjin tonight, so she hadn't replied to his messages until now.
Qin Qiaoer gave Li Fanjin an apologetic look, then answered the phone and walked out of the private room.
Li Fanjin took a deep breath. He felt that the courage he had just gathered was almost gone. He didn't know who was calling Qin Qiaoer, but she seemed to take it quite seriously.
As soon as Qin Qiaoer answered the phone outside, she kept apologizing to Zhao Youting, "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I forgot to tell you that I'm out for dinner with someone else today."
