Hot pot restaurant.

Inside the booth covered by a curtain.

A lively and warm atmosphere permeates the air.

The four-compartment hot pot in the middle of the table was emitting steam, and various ingredients were rolling in the boiling soup, emitting an enticing aroma.

Xia Qingluo originally thought that this was just an ordinary reunion, where he could share each other's recent situation with colleagues who had filmed together and spent countless days and nights together, and chat about the new movie.

Yu Hong thought this was a rare date and looked forward to getting closer to Xia Qingluo.

However, now there was a person whom they all hated, sitting opposite them.

Lin Yuyan rested her hands on the table, smiling with her eight big teeth exposed, and asked shamelessly: "Are you two dating?"

Xia Qingluo didn't even move his eyebrows. He took the chopsticks and stirred the bowl of seasoning in front of him, completely ignoring Lin Yuyan as air.

On this point, Yu Hong cooperated very well and looked at Xia Qingluo sideways. "What is this? It looks very simple and refreshing."

Xia Qingluo curved her lips and said, "Light soy sauce, minced garlic, and chopped fresh chili peppers. You can try them."

Yu Hong walked forward with a small bowl, watched Xia Qingluo pour him half of it, waited for the beef in the hot pot to be cooked, and quickly scooped it out with a long spoon and dipped a little.

It was slightly spicy with a fresh fragrance, a taste he had never tasted before.

He glanced sideways and saw that Xia Qingluo was eating the same seasoning as her, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Exchanging sauce plates at a hot pot restaurant is something that couples would do.

But in fact, ordinary friends would do the same...

Yu Hong gently touched his cheek with the back of his hand. It felt a little hot, and he secretly lamented his own lack of ambition.

It's not an indirect kiss where you drink from the same glass of water, and your face is as red as a bubble teapot.

Lin Yuyan was completely ignored, but she wasn't annoyed. She just sat there with her legs crossed and watched.

He was angry before because she didn't get the role of the female lead, but now he has calmed down and pondered over what Xia Qingluo said before in his mind.

Lin Yuyan once again shamelessly interrupted the harmonious atmosphere between the two, "Xia Qingluo, you said before that you had nothing to do with Brother Chengyuan, what did you mean?"

Xia Qingluo didn't say anything, but frantically tapped the screen of his phone.

After a while, the waiter came over with a smile and opened the curtain.

"Hello, I see that you have ordered a large amount. In our store, large purchases like this need to be paid in advance. I'm really sorry, but who will pay the bill?"

When Lin Yuyan heard this, her brows couldn't help but frown.

She had seen restaurants where customers had to pay in advance, but she had never seen one where customers were asked to pay in advance because the item they ordered was too expensive.

Who among them would run away without paying? They are all celebrities in the entertainment industry, how could they do such a thing?

At this moment, Xia Qingluo, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Xia Qingluo smiled with her red lips, pointed at Lin Yuyan, and said to the waiter, "She'll pay the bill."

Lin Yuyan shrugged, "Okay, I'll treat you."

She took out her cell phone and scanned the QR code on the waiter's tablet. With a beep, Lin Yuyan looked at the string of zeros following the number nine and her eyes widened.

"Xia Qingluo, how the hell did you order a dish worth 150,000 yuan at the hot pot restaurant? Did you come here to purchase the goods?"

Yu Hong felt particularly relieved when seeing this and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xia Qingluo crossed her legs, her beautiful fox eyes looking a little cunning, "I'll pack it up and eat it back. I won't waste any food, don't worry."

Lin Yuyan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll treat you. Tell me about Brother Chengyuan."

Xia Qingluo picked up a piece of beef roll slowly and put it into his mouth. "I have told you everything I should say. I have nothing to do with Lu Chengyuan, and I don't want to have anything to do with him."

Lin Yuyan was puzzled and asked with a frown: "Why? Didn't you love him to death before?"

Her thoughts went back to the past, and she began to talk nonstop, "I heard that you wrote a love letter to Brother Chengyuan every day in junior high and high school. In six years, the number of love letters reached two thousand.

In various activities at school, you always try your best to be in the same group with him, even if he dislikes you in every way.

You learn basketball knowledge for him that you have no interest in, just to have something to talk about with him..."

As Lin Yuyan spoke, she sighed silently in her heart. She really couldn't be as persistent as Xia Qingluo. Even though Lu Chengyuan was acting so annoying, she still pursued him for such a long time.

Yu Hong listened quietly at the side, an indescribable complex emotion welling up in his heart, and his eyes darkened.

It turns out that Xia Qingluo and Lu Chengyuan are childhood sweethearts, a secret unknown to anyone on the Internet.

It turned out that there were so many unknown stories between the two of them, which made him feel as if he was an outsider who suddenly broke into their world.

It turned out that Xia Qingluo once loved Lu Chengyuan so much.

Xia Qingluo didn't seem to have much expression on her face. She pretended to be calm and continued to pick up potato chips from the pot. However, the slight trembling of her fingers betrayed her inner feelings.

In her previous life, the changes she made for Lu Chengyuan were far more than Lin Yuyan had imagined...

Gentle and virtuous were the characteristics of her previous life, but she knew that she was not that kind of person at all.

Xia Qingluo couldn't listen any longer, and raised her cold eyes instantly, interrupting, "You suddenly don't love me anymore, and you don't want to love me anymore in the future. Do you have any other questions?"

Lin Yuyan's voice froze as she met Xia Qingluo's icy eyes.

She saw extreme indifference in Xia Qingluo's eyes. Inexplicably, she felt as if Xia Qingluo's heart had died once and turned into ashes.

As a woman, Lin Yuyan could feel that Xia Qingluo had no expectations for love now.

"Buzz-"

Xia Qingluo's cell phone suddenly vibrated continuously, finally interrupting the awkward atmosphere at the dinner table.

She picked up her phone and clicked on the text message.

[Han Xun: (SOS emergency contact) I made an emergency call at this approximate location. You are listed as an emergency contact by me, so you will receive this message.]

Xia Qingluo frowned slightly. Han Xun always contacted her by phone, occasionally sending messages via WeChat, and rarely using text messages.

Moreover, this is a text message asking for help.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Xia Qingluo hurriedly made an excuse, put on a mask, and trotted away.

After finding an empty corner, Xia Qingluo immediately called back, but there was only a cold busy tone on the other end of the phone and no one answered.

Xia Qingluo's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and he tried to call Han Xun's WeChat again.

Did something happen to Han Xun at Mei Ye Bar?
