Meng Nianchu burst into laughter and nodded in agreement repeatedly. "You must be able to do it!"
Once two girls know each other's little secrets, their relationship will become closer. Bai Ling truly recognized Meng Nianchu. Since the heart - to - heart talk that night, she would share all her little thoughts with Meng Nianchu.
Even a renowned diva like Bai Ling would lose her wits and act like a crazy fan when facing the one she loved. Meng Nianchu felt this more and more strongly. She thought that she should do anything for her good friend. So on this day, when the restaurant was full, Meng Nianchu excitedly suggested that Bai Ling and Ju Zisheng perform an instrumental ensemble together.
Wang Xiaolei, the number - one supporter, immediately started clapping, setting the atmosphere. "One song! One song!"
The combination of a diva and an actor would surely attract everyone's attention. Usually, it was impossible to see them perform on the same stage even if you paid a high price, but today it was free. How could the guests present refuse?
Everyone shouted. "One song, please!"
"Yeah, one song! One song!"
"..."
The cheers came one after another. Bai Ling blushed and coyly glanced at Ju Zisheng. She didn't mind performing alone, but if she stood together with him...
Just thinking about it made her excited!
But deep down, she really wanted to perform the ensemble. Bai Ling pretended to be in a dilemma and said softly. "Mr. Ju, so many people are requesting. How about..."
"Sure." Ju Zisheng hooked his lips into a smile and slowly held Bai Ling's hand. Then they walked side by side to the music corner. Seeing Bai Ling sitting in front of the piano, he picked up a violin.
"I'll do my best."
The soothing music slowly spread out with the vibration of the strings. The dim light shone through the transparent glass into the corner of the restaurant. Bai Ling quickly pressed the piano keys in response. The sounds of the two instruments intertwined, rising and falling together, like the harmonious melody of the mountains and the flowing water, making the listeners trance. The two performers of this beautiful music were both extremely good - looking with delicate features. The lazy warm - yellow sunlight shone down, and the plane trees swayed under the blue sky. It was like a beautiful oil painting of a peaceful time.
When the song ended, the after - sound lingered.
The people in the restaurant were still immersed in the wonderful music. Bai Ling blushed and secretly peeked at Ju Zisheng with her shiny eyes. After making eye contact with him, she immediately averted her gaze and pretended to look elsewhere.
Ju Zisheng looked directly at her and didn't spare any praise. "Miss Bai Ling is truly a well - known figure in the music industry. Your skills are really amazing. My violin skills are not good enough to match yours. Please forgive me."
These words gave Bai Ling enough face.
Bai Ling smiled sweetly. "Mr. Ju has a profound attainments in the film and television field. If we talk about this, I'm not even one - ten - thousandth as good as you. In comparison, you can do as well as me in my strong area. It's obvious how amazing you are. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Her tone was soft and not overly flattering, making people feel as if a gentle breeze had passed through their hearts. It was really comfortable.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman responded to each other. People couldn't help but add a pink background and background music automatically in their minds. An idol drama of a grand project started playing in their heads.
But someone woke up instantly.
A young man in a black shirt in the crowd suddenly stood up. He tightly held a pen and paper in his hand and walked straight towards Bai Ling.
"I'm your fan. Could you please sign for me?" He looked nervous. After saying that, he held out the pen and paper.
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment and then took them. She quickly signed her name on the paper.
The guests gradually came back to their senses. Some of them still glanced at Bai Ling from time to time, while others buried their heads in their food. People thought that signing the name was enough, but unexpectedly, the young man put forward another request.
"Could I take a photo with you?"
Without waiting for Bai Ling's consent, he stood beside her on his own, turned on the camera and took a photo of the two of them. He wasn't satisfied after one photo. He even put his hand on Bai Ling's shoulder, trying to take more photos with such an intimate gesture.
Bai Ling frowned slightly and was very resistant. But since there were cameras everywhere and she was a public figure, it was not good for her to show negative emotions. Just as she was secretly thinking about what to do, her small hand was suddenly held and she was pulled to the side.
"Sorry, sir. You've already taken a photo, right? We still have work to do. I'm afraid we don't have much time. Sorry."
The young man looked a bit unhappy. Ju Zisheng lifted his chin slightly, hinting at the cameras. "The audience is watching us. We can't be lazy."
There was a smile in his words, but actually there was a threat hidden.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the middle - aged man didn't dare to do anything else. He scanned the surroundings, put away his phone, quickly paid the bill and left in a hurry.
"Thank you." Bai Ling dusted off the place where the young man had touched. Her good mood suddenly became a bit dull.
Ju Zisheng keenly noticed the change in her mood and rubbed her head. "This won't happen again."
These few simple words made Bai Ling feel at ease instantly.
She nodded heavily, her eyes shining. "Yeah!"
A woman in love can't keep secrets. That night, when the restaurant was closed, Meng Nianchu returned to the room. Bai Ling couldn't help but talk about every move between her and Ju Zisheng today.
Meng Nianchu was cooking in the back kitchen at that time. She didn't see what happened after Bai Ling and Ju Zisheng finished their ensemble. Now hearing Bai Ling tell the whole story in one breath, a mother - like smile appeared on her face.
"Did he really say that?"
"Yes! When a mature and charming man makes a promise, his affection is so attractive! Ah! The charm!" Bai Ling covered her face extremely exaggeratedly and was extremely intoxicated.
Meng Nianchu suddenly remembered the scene when Mu Junze risked his own life to take her out during the fire. She blurted out. "So handsome."
"Right!" Bai Ling thought she was talking about Ju Zisheng. "He's really the one I like. He's so excellent and makes my heart flutter!"
Meng Nianchu was amused by her reaction. She raised her eyebrows and joked. "I did the right thing today, right?"
"Thank you!"
Meng Nianchu clasped her hands in front of her. "You're welcome!"
Seeing that they had spent four days together in the restaurant, the relationship between Meng Nianchu and Bai Ling was getting better and better. Some people were envious of their friendship.
Meng Rong gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Meng Nianchu and Bai Ling who were chatting and laughing.
She clenched her delicate hands into fists, full of unwillingness!
Why was Bai Ling so nice to Meng Nianchu but ignored her!
Why did Meng Nianchu always steal her limelight!
So hypocritical!
She took a deep breath and walked away angrily.
Tomorrow the variety show would end, and they would leave the restaurant. On the last day, they all worked together to prepare.
At noon.
Wang Xiaolei and Zhu Zhu went to the vegetable market to buy groceries. Ju Zisheng went to the next - door restaurant to borrow chairs. Meng Nianchu had to take care of the suddenly ill Bai Ling and was also busy with the back - kitchen chores.
Everyone was in a hurry, wanting to leave a precious and unique memory before they left tomorrow.
