Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Considering that Mibei needs to concentrate more when driving, Zhuge Qinuo took the initiative to take on the task of explaining: "Once, I had some problems at work, and it was Mibei who helped me. It was a typhoon that day, and I needed to return to Y City from the crew. If he hadn't come to my rescue, I don't know what to do."

"Well, I know about that typhoon. Then what? Was the problem resolved?" Deng Qing asked. He also wanted to ease the relationship.

"Actually, it's nothing, just a little misunderstanding. It was resolved before we arrived." Zhuge Qinuo replied.

"By the way, I'm actually not very clear what you used to do besides filming," Deng Qing asked again.

"I'm in training." Zhuge Qinuo replied.

"What exactly is the training about?" Deng Qing asked.

"We provide training in various subjects, from primary school to middle school and from high school to high school." Zhuge Qinuo replied.

"Is training very profitable?" Deng Qing asked.

When this question was asked, Zhuge Qinuo immediately understood that Deng Qing wanted to know why she could borrow money so easily.

Although Deng Qing was questioning her as if she were checking her household registration, she could tell that even the last question was not hostile. Moreover, with all three of them present, she thought this was a good opportunity for them to get to know her, so she was happy to answer.

"To be honest, I didn't make as much money as I imagined! But the advantage is stability and accumulation. As a woman, I always feel more at ease doing these things."

Zhuge Qinuo's words reminded Mi Bei and Deng Qing that she had been married and divorced before. Indeed, she needed more stability.

"I have accumulated some money over the years and am planning to open a restaurant and a bar."

"Oh? Bar?" Deng Qing said in a relaxed tone, "This also makes people feel at ease?"

"It's not the kind of bar you think it is. It will be a retro kind." Zhuge Qinuo also hurriedly explained with a smile, "There is no gray area."

"What kind of retro method is this?"

"What I imagined in my mind was Guangzhou in the 80s and 90s. There was a dance floor outside, and there would be some bands and singers performing on the stage. It wasn't the kind of place where the whole place got high. You could sit down and listen to songs, watch performances and competitions, and there was a dance floor. I can't really explain it now, I haven't thought it through completely. Anyway, opening a bar like this is what I want to do. After all, I'm divorced, and I just have to take care of my two children. I can be willful and do what I want to do. Even if I fail, as long as I can support myself mentally, energetically, and financially, that's fine."

Deng Qing felt that her words were like the thoughts of a mature woman, and he had a new understanding of her.

Although he felt a little out of place among the three people, seeing that Zhuge Qinuo's attitude was sincere, he felt more at ease.

"You don't want to invite us to see it?"

"I'm afraid you won't want to come."

The obviously harmonious atmosphere between the two made Mi Bei feel a lot more relaxed.

It’s still the same small shop, and the same enthusiastic owner.

"Are all three of you here today?" The shopkeeper looked very familiar when he saw the three of them.

After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and the atmosphere froze.

"You've been to the secret base?" Deng Qing was a little incredulous.

Mi Bei was speechless for a moment.

Zhuge Qinuo was at a loss.

"This place is usually crowded with people, how can it be called a secret base? Last time I came here because I was hungry and it was late. This place is close to the hotel where I live, so I came here to eat. Do you come here often?"

Zhuge Qinuo did not say that he was with Mi Bei, blurring the line on how the three of them came here together.

"What do you want to eat?" Mi Bei quickly changed the subject.

But as soon as he said this, he was about to raise his eyes, but wisely stopped.

God knows how much work his brain had to do in that less than a second.

In fact, he was asking what the two wanted to eat, and subconsciously wanted to look at Zhuge Qinuo, but then he thought that this wouldn't work, so he suppressed the movement of looking up.

The two people in front of him, no, to be exact, it was Deng Qing. He was like a cliff, and he was standing on the edge of the cliff. If he was not careful, he would easily fall into the pit.

He put the menu in the middle and took out his cell phone awkwardly.

It’s not a good time to play games, so I can only open Weibo and check it out.

"You guys order, there are so many of you here." Zhuge Qinuo also took out his mobile phone stiffly and opened Weibo.

"Okay, I'll do it." Deng Qing was very straightforward.

Zhuge Qinuo has already clicked on Mibei’s super topic.

She was shocked, as if this had become a habitual action.

From the moment she sat in the dessert shop and studied him in the first scene with him, she seemed to have rekindled her urge to chase stars.

You have to know that the last time I had this kind of impulse was more than ten years ago, and this passion was given to Jay Chou, who understands youth best.

It took him 0.01 seconds to glance at the main character, Mi Bei, who was sitting opposite him.

Suddenly I felt like playing around and wanted to post a super topic @ him, but then I felt it seemed too conspicuous.

So she clicked on his latest Weibo post and left a message: "Keep it up, baby brother!" followed by three laughing emojis.

After sending it, she couldn't help but smile at the screen, then raised her head and looked around as if nothing had happened.

He was stunned when he turned towards Mibei.

He held the phone and looked at her, with a smile, confusion and inquiry on his face.

"Were they discovered so quickly?" Incredible.

Zhuge Qinuo's breathing was held for a second when he was stared at. He couldn't help but slightly open his lips to explain something.

"Do you want it spicy?"

Just when I was worrying about how to escape this gaze, Deng Qing spoke like a savior.

"eat."

"eat."

Zhuge Qinuo and Mi Bei said in unison.

Deng Qing raised his eyes to look at the two of them and said: "Foodies." He didn't know who he was judging.

In order to ease his panic, Zhuge Qinuo found topics to chat with Deng Qing awkwardly.

Deng Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this awkwardness, because originally, they had just started to have the possibility of becoming friends.

Mibei naturally joined the group chat.

The midnight snack went very pleasantly, and because it was so late, it was relatively quick.

Deng Qing and Mi Bei drank some wine. It was too late, so Deng Qing asked his assistant to get a room for Mi Bei, and Zhuge Qinuo was responsible for sending them back to the hotel where Deng Qing was.

Deng Qing had gotten into the habit of walking towards the hotel as soon as he got off the car, and Zhuge Qinuo didn't even have time to roll down the window to say goodbye.

Mi Bei sat behind Zhuge Qinuo, opened the door, and slowly got out of the car. When she heard the door behind her close, she immediately turned to the left, showing a big smile, and wanted to say goodbye, but Mi Bei leaned over and put her head towards the driver's seat: "Is that you?"

"Huh?" Zhuge Qinuo's big smiling face immediately turned into a black question mark face.

Mi Bei smiled and said, "Oh, okay, I will, thank you."

For a moment, Zhuge Qinuo seemed to understand the meaning of these incoherent words.

After saying that, Mi Bei straightened up, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she pursed her lips, looked at her, and smiled sweetly.

A high nose bridge, bright eyes, and a face full of collagen. Mi Bei rarely smiles, and this smile really made Zhuge Qinuo a little dazed.

Looking at a handsome guy like this made her face a little hot. She shifted her gaze and didn't have time to put on a show to refute Mi Bei's words.

Mi Bei stared at her for two seconds, and her absent-mindedness and embarrassment did not escape his eyes. He felt that he could not allow her to be embarrassed any longer, so he smiled brightly, said goodbye, ran away quickly, and caught up with Deng Qing.

Zhuge Qinuo's eyes followed him until he disappeared from her sight. She came to her senses and laughed at herself for being useless.
