Chapter 81 She is allergic to seafood.

The appetizers were served and everyone was chatting about tonight's fashion show. Since Pei Yu was not at his seat, the topics of conversation were more casual. But somehow, someone brought the topic to Shen Zhiyi.

"Miss Shen looks familiar," the man smiled and changed the subject, "Does Miss Shen know Mr. Pei?"

I don't know what the person who asked this question was thinking, but he successfully attracted other people's attention. To people who don't know the truth, this question is confusing.

Shen Zhiyi didn't look up. After a short pause, he answered calmly, "I don't know him."

Her relationship with Pei Yu was not even as legitimate as that of ordinary couples. Breaking up meant forgetting everything in the past and becoming strangers from now on.

The door of the smoking room opened. Qin Fang just heard this answer. He paused and turned to look at Pei Yu.

Pei Yu brushed the corner of his shirt, as if he didn't hear anything, and there was no clue from his expression.

Qin Fang at least breathed a sigh of relief and believed what Pei Yu had just said.

Since Shen Zhiyi said she didn't know Pei Yu, Qin Fang didn't show any sign that he knew her. However, this kind of pretentious behavior didn't suit him. He felt uncomfortable sitting in his seat, especially since he couldn't help but observe her and Pei Yu. As a result, after looking at each other, he found that he seemed to be the only one who felt uncomfortable, which was strange.

If you don’t know, you might think he and Shen Zhiyi have an old relationship.

The dishes were served one after another. Because it was a coastal city, most of the dishes were seafood. Meng Qiming was a local and was happy to play host to everyone.

"The way Haishi cooks seafood is unique and worth a try. The chef we invited today is a good friend of my grandfather. He is no longer with us, so it will be difficult to taste his cooking skills next time."

The few of them ate and chatted, and they controlled the topic in moderation. The man who had asked Shen Zhiyi questions before never asked similar questions again. He just focused on chatting with his companions, and occasionally said a few words to Qin Fang, and their conversation seemed quite familiar.

Shen Zhiyi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen this man on the day she attended Qin Xiaoran’s birthday party.

No wonder he asked that.

But her answer and Pei Yu's attitude have already revealed their current relationship.

Shen Zhiyi was having trouble swallowing and drank a mouthful of thick soup. She then received a message from Wang Feifei, asking her if she had hooked up with Meng Qiming. She was currently only the regional spokesperson for CN, and Wang Feifei was interested in continuing to cooperate with CN.

She sent a message back, but Wang Feifei didn't know she was having dinner, so she called her out of habit and left the box to find a place to answer the phone.

Melodious piano music came from the hall. Wang Feifei got straight to the point and asked, "How much did you talk to Meng Qiming?"

Shen Zhiyi calculated silently and told her, "Five sentences."

This also includes the greeting part.

Wang Feifei laughed, there was nothing she could do about it. "Why don't you find more topics to talk about? There's no harm in building a good relationship with Meng Qiming, and there's no need to feel burdened. Just treat it as making a friend. He's a nice guy."

Meng Qiming was indeed quite good. He was well-mannered and good at finding topics to talk about. However, Shen Zhiyi really didn't want to chat with him right now. She softened her voice and said, "I'm a little tired today."

"Haven't you adjusted to the time difference yet?"

Wang Feifei had no idea that only half a month later, her artist would have dinner with Pei Yu again. She was very career-oriented and had long forgotten about this matter. She only focused on the future. "Okay, I won't force you. Have a good rest today."

While Shen Zhiyi went out to answer the phone, Pei Yu asked for the menu and made a few strokes on it.

Qin Fang was close by and glanced at them casually, "Did you cross out those seafood dishes?"

Meng Qiming was not bragging, the local seafood dishes really tasted good and were very fresh. He was a little surprised to see Pei Yu replace those seafood dishes with other ones.

"Yes." Pei Yu nodded calmly and handed the menu to the waiter. "The dishes will be served to the seats on the right later."

Looking over to the seats on the right, Qin Fang saw the empty seat. His eyelids twitched twice, and he stared at Pei Yu, "What's going on?"

He didn't eat much and only drank a few glasses of wine, but he wasn't drunk yet. The alcohol just stained the corners of his eyes a light red. Pei Yu unbuttoned a few buttons on his collar, revealing a small piece of cold white skin.

He took a sip of wine, his lips glistening with moisture, and said lightly, "She is allergic to seafood."

Qin Fang: "..."

This is called "not much like"? ?

"Brother Pei," Qin Fang couldn't bear it any longer, "Wake up, you've already separated."

Look at Shen Zhiyi, she really treats him as a stranger and doesn't care at all. Why does Pei Yu, who should be the most free and easy, become the confused one?
"I am sober." Pei Yu glanced at Qin Fang expressionlessly, stroking the cold wall of the cup and sneering silently, "If I am not sober——"

If he wasn't sober, he wouldn't be sitting here.

The rest of the words were left unsaid, and Qin Fang couldn't guess. He was just depressed. With the tragedy of his aunt's unrequited love, and having witnessed so many absurd love affairs of adults since childhood, love was really just a pastime for him. It would be foolish to indulge in it too deeply. He believed that Pei Yu also understood this truth. Someone who could have done it with ease was now like this...

"Don't worry about me,"

Pei Yu saw what Qin Fang was thinking at a glance, and pushed the untouched wine glass to him, saying with a cold and arrogant tone, "I know what to do."

If half a month is not enough, how about half a year? How about one or two years?

He has Pei family blood in his bones, so he should have the same bad habits.

When Shen Zhiyi came back after finishing her call, the newly ordered dishes had been served right in front of her. After confirming that those dishes had nothing to do with seafood, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was too much seafood in the first half, so she barely started eating and thought she would have to wait until later to have a midnight snack.

Noticing that she hadn't touched the seafood, Meng Qiming, who was sitting next to her, asked in a low voice, "Is it not to your taste?"

"no,"

He was the host, and he had strongly recommended local dishes before. It would be too offensive if he didn't explain it clearly. Shen Zhiyi whispered, "I'm allergic to seafood."

Meng Qiming was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically, "I don't know, can I order a few more dishes for you?"

Before preparing the menu, he asked the guests if they had any dietary restrictions, but he had invited Shen Zhiyi on a whim and forgot to confirm with her again. It was his negligence.

"No need," Shen Zhiyi quickly refused, "This is enough for now."

Meng Qiming advised attentively and gently, "It's okay, you can add a few dishes you like."

“Now I like these.”

It’s not a lie, the dishes in front of her are indeed her favorites.

The two of them talked in low voices, the atmosphere was harmonious and the relationship was familiar. Qin Fang felt a little uncomfortable watching this, but Pei Yu was the same as usual.

It's just that compared to usual, I drank a lot more tonight.
