Chapter 1070: Running Into Zhong Li

Xia Rao’s suggestion moved Song Yaoyao a little.

When it was time to eat, she didn’t expect the food to taste so delicious, so she accidentally ate more than usual. In the end, her stomach was so full that it was almost as big as Xia Rao’s.

“Gege.”

Song Yaoyao whispered into Huo Yunque’s ear, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

“I’ll go with you.”

!!

“No, no, no!”

Song Yaoyao blushed. “I’m not a child anymore, I’ll go by myself.”

The three men were chatting. Although it was mostly Mu Jing and Yi Ting who talked while Huo Yunque listened, the atmosphere was harmonious, and one instinctively did not want to ruin it.

Huo Yunque smiled. “Watch your step, take your time.”

“I know, I know.”

Song Yaoyao was embarrassed. She did not dare to look at Lin Shuang and Xia Rao’s teasing eyes and quickly ran away.

This private restaurant was very quiet, and there were very few customers. Song Yaoyao guessed that it was private, and not many people had the right to come in and eat.

After coming out of the bathroom, Song Yaoyao was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, she walked slowly along the wooden corridor.

There was a small fish pond on the left and right side. The moonlight was bright. Occasionally, the koi fish raised in the pond would come out of the water to breathe, creating ripples on the surface of the water.

Song Yaoyao leaned on the railing and bent down. “Little koi fish, good evening!”

Zhong Li came out to breathe. When he turned his head, he saw a girl bathed in the moonlight. Her long, soft black hair hung behind her head, making her look like a deer.

He leaned lazily against the wooden pillar and lit a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and sized her up.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the second time he saw her.

Amidst the smoke, the moonlight reflected against the scales on the kois’ bodies, and rays of light danced off them. Something gold flashed past, bringing with it a string of water droplets, and gently kissed the girl’s delicate fingertips.

“Wow!”

Song Yaoyao looked at her wet fingers in surprise. The koi in the pond swam back and forth. “Are you giving me face like this?”

She didn’t know who placed small bowl next to her. There was some fish food in it.

Song Yaoyao sprinkled some into the pond. As expected, more and more koi emerged from the water and began to vivaciously snatch the food.

“Slow down, slow down, there’s enough for all of you.”

“Heh…”

The girl’s childish words made Zhong Li unable to hold back his laughter. He snorted lightly, and when he saw Song Yaoyao pause in her movements, he looked at her.

He knew that he had been exposed.

He put out his cigarette and stood up lazily.

He curled his lips. “We meet again, Miss… Song.”

Song Yaoyao blinked and confusion appeared in her eyes. “We… know each other?”

Zhong Li’s coquettish smile froze on his lips. “What?”

“You might have mistaken me for someone else,” Song Yaoyao told him in all seriousness.

She poured the remaining fish food into the pond, put down the bowl, and clapped her hands. “I’m sorry, I should go back.”

The girl raised her chin slightly, her delicate and pretty little face filled with the perfect amount of arrogance. When she walked past him, she had an inexplicable sweet scent on her.

It was a very special smell.

Was this the woman Huo Yunque loved deeply? She was… too small.

He suddenly reached out his hand.

“Slap!”

A slap landed on his arm. The girl looked up at him coldly. “What are you doing?” Her soft voice was filled with a coldness that could not be ignored.

The spot where the slap landed was burning. Zhong Li was stunned. Then, as if he thought of something interesting, he laughed softly.

“We met at Huo Manor last time. The place was the greenhouse. Do you still remember, Miss Song?” He raised his hands and said, “I didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to talk to you.”

Song Yaoyao’s eyebrows moved slightly. Then, she clapped her hands and smiled sweetly.

“Oh, so it’s you!”

She pretended to frown apologetically. “I’m sorry. I didn’t hurt you, did I? Actually, I didn’t use any force.”

After all, force and strength were mutually reinforcing. She didn’t think twice just now and didn’t want Zhong Li to touch her, so she forgot that she was afraid of pain too. When she apologized, she raised her little head. Her clear, almond-shaped eyes were sparkling. Those who didn’t know would think that she was the one who was hit.

Zhong Li looked at her expression and could not explain what he was thinking.

After a long while, he said generously, “It’s fine. Miss Song’s strength is indeed very small. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

His bones were about to break.

Song Yaoyao’s dimples were deep and her eyes were curved into crescent moons. “Is that so? It’s good that you don’t hurt.” As she spoke, she placed her small hands behind her back and quietly rubbed them.

Oh, it hurt so much…

How unbeneficial for her!

“Miss Song, you’re also here to eat at Yiran?”

“Uh huh.”

Song Yaoyao’s gaze fell on the small fish pond as she carelessly dealt with it.

“I heard that Miss Song is a director. I’ve just returned to China a few days ago, and I’m thinking of investing in some projects. However, as an outsider, I don’t know many things. Can I ask Miss Song for advice?”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Song Yaoyao tilted her head. “But I only know how to film. Mr. Zhong Li, why don’t you ask the seniors in the industry for advice? I’m sure they’ll be happy to answer your questions.”

The man wearing a dark blue shirt and black suit pants, who seemed to blend in with the night, chuckled. “Then I wonder if Miss Song’s new drama lacks investors?”

His features were deep, and his long, narrow eyes were fixed on Song Yaoyao as he spoke. He was probably of foreign descent, and there was a faint blue light in his dark pupils.

In terms of looks, he was indeed very handsome.

However, he was completely different from Huo Yunque. Huo Yunque was introverted, and you could never guess what he looked like when he lost his temper. He was always refined and classy, like a university professor who had read a lot of books and poems.

He was like a snow-capped mountain with a bright moon.

However, the man in front of her was different. He blended in with the darkness of the night, and they seemed to be inseparable.

Song Yaoyao quietly took in his appearance and nodded innocently. “Okay.”

She seemed to be very happy that someone could invest in her new drama. She said, “I wonder what kind of show Mr. Zhong Li prefers?”

Zhong Li curled his lips and whispered gently, “I believe in your standards, Miss Song.”

“Is that so?”

A faint light flashed in Song Yaoyao’s eyes. “I do have a new script recently, but it’s not a costume drama. It’s an idol drama. It’s—”

Zhong Li turned his head and couldn’t help but look at her.

“A sci-fi thriller.”

Zhong Li couldn’t smile anymore.

Song Yaoyao, on the other hand, was very happy. She clapped her small hands and said, “Mr. Zhong Li, in order for you to understand more, let me tell you what this script is mainly about, shall I?”

Zhong Li stood in the dim light. His face, which could not be seen clearly, froze.

After a long time, he nodded slightly and said, “Okay.”

“The context is the end of the world. More than half of the people in the world are infected with a virus that has turned them into human-eating zombies. The remaining people are called survivors. Oh, right, Mr. Zhong Li”—Song Yaoyao blinked—”do you know what zombies look like?”
