Chapter 8 Jealousy

"You're not coming?" Wang Fu looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise.

Xu Weiyan nodded. She had already become a regular worker, and her salary was a little higher. Although it was not much, it was enough for her.

Although she could earn some money easily working in the bar, she didn't like such a noisy environment. Why should she waste so much time here?

She had said in advance that she would not come next week. Wang Fu still had a week to find a substitute.

When Xu Weiyan came out of the office of Wang Fu, she saw Jiang Ziyu standing opposite her coldly. His hair had been dyed black, and he looked much more serious.

Xu Weiyan thought that he also had something to say to Wang Fu, so she didn't think much about it and went straight away.

"You're not coming?" Jiang Ziyu suddenly asked. He had heard what they had just said.

Xu Weiyan stopped and nodded, "From next week."

Jiang Ziyu turned around and left, leaving Xu Weiyan in confusion.

After the last performance on the stage that night, Xu Weiyan put all the scores she had put in the backstage into her bag. After making sure that she had not forgotten anything, she left.

Before she went out, she saw Jiang Ziyu smoking by the window. It was strange that he usually formed a team and played games with others at this time.

"Xu Weiyan," Jiang Ziyu ran out of the bar to stop her. He must have run too fast and was still gasping for breath.

"Hmm..." It was rare for him to feel awkward, "I quite like you."

"Huh?" Xu Weiyan opened her mouth slightly, and she couldn't get what was going on here for the time being.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ziyu knew that she had misunderstood. He suddenly blushed and said angrily, "I mean I appreciate you. Why are you so narcissistic?"

Xu Weiyan lowered her head awkwardly. It was his fault for not speaking properly and making it sound like he was confessing his love.

"I don't have any female friends, but I will definitely make you my friend."

He said righteously, "Although you are very rigid, dull, and simple-minded, I think you are not bad."

Xu Weiyan was speechless. Why didn't she feel happy at all after hearing that?

Jiang Ziyu finished his talking, waved at her, and then said, "Goodbye, my friend."

Xu Weiyan couldn't help laughing and waved at him.

Xu Weiyan walked alone to the subway station. The location of the Night Bar was not bad, and it was located in the center of the area. At night, it was bright everywhere. Xu Weiyan even had an illusion that it was not dark yet.

As Xu Weiyan walked, she felt that someone was following her. Even though there were a lot of people nearby, she was still a little scared, so she quickened her pace.

However, as soon as she passed the entrance of the alley, she was suddenly dragged into the alley. Before she could scream, she was pressed against the corner of the wall.

His masculine aura surrounded her. Xu Weiyan was trapped in the middle of his hands, staring blankly at the person in front of her.

Gu Yu'an stared at her leisurely. "What's wrong? Are you afraid?"

Xu Weiyan was furious and pushed him away. Gu Yu'an didn't use much strength, so he loosened his grip on her and looked at her calmly.

"Why did you pull me here?" She stared at him with her round eyes, which were not lethal at all.

Gu Yu'an looked at her playfully, "What do you think?"

"If I don't hide you, won't you run away with someone?"

Xu Weiyan reacted for a while before understanding what he meant. "You saw it?"

"What do you think?" he asked.

Gu Yu'an took her hand and led her deeper into the alley.

Xu Weiyan stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"Lock you up," he said bluntly.

Xu Weiyan was speechless. She didn't believe it at all. There were no lights in this alley, but as she walked in, she saw a lot of people. Almost all of them were regulars in some small shops that had been open for many years.

Xu Weiyan thought that Gu Yu'an was going to take her out for supper.

After a while, she thought of something.

Xu Weiyan awkwardly withdrew her hand from Gu Yu'an and put it behind her back.

Gu Yu'an looked at her and didn't say anything. He just asked her to follow him closely because there would be more people later.

The two of them slowly walked out of the old alley. At the other end of the alley, there was still a brightly lit street. Xu Weiyan had a special feeling all of a sudden.

She followed Gu Yu'an to the opposite side of the road. This was the Minggong River. Xu Weiyan remembered this place, but she didn't expect to come here after walking out of that alley.

There were a lot of people gathered here tonight, setting off lanterns.

When Xu Weiyan approached and saw the colorful lanterns flowing on the river, she was a little surprised by the elegant scenery.

"There's an event tonight, so I want to bring you over to take a look," Gu Yu'an said.

The two of them did not go to crowded places to light lanterns with everyone. Instead, they stood on the Hongmu Bridge and watched the lanterns rushing over from the other end of the river.

"How is it? Isn't this much better than that lad?" Gu Yu'an suddenly asked.

Xu Weiyan didn't expect him to still remember and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that she was still smiling, Gu Yu'an immediately gritted his teeth and pinched her face with two fingers. She was really heartless.

"I'm not as canny as you." Xu Weiyan slapped his hand away and pretended to look at him angrily, but she couldn't help breaking out in laughter.

At this time, Xu Weiyan's phone rang, breaking the unique ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. Xu Weiyan picked up the phone.

"You left early this afternoon, Weiyan. You didn't hear the notice, did you? I'll tell you now," Song Bai said.

Xu Weiyan put away the smile on her face and thought that there was an important notice. She said seriously, "Go ahead."

"Aren't we going to perform in the Wildlife Park tomorrow? The person in charge there has said that we can play there for two days without charge, so we will live there that day. Remember to bring something needed with you."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Weiyan hung up the phone.

"The Wildlife Park?"

"Yes." Xu Weiyan nodded and continued to explain, "It's the one that's only half an hour away from the city. They have a contract with our theater. We're just helping them to play the accompaniment."

Gu Yu'an nodded. No one knew what he was thinking about, and he asked, "Do you want to go down and light lanterns?"

Xu Weiyan shook her head. "No, there are too many people."

Early the next morning, the theatre staff got on the bus sent by the park to pick them up.

This Wildlife Park was mainly in a high-end and elegant style. There were even some Western-style buildings in the park, and the staff were also wearing the same tuxedo.

After entering, Song Bai couldn't help secretly complaining to Xu Weiyan, "It doesn't look like a Wildlife Park at all. It's more like a hotel."

Xu Weiyan smiled. In fact, she had the same feeling as Song Bai, but the scenery was very good. Just now, when she sat on the bus and looked out, there were some lake and plant scenery.

The person in charge gave them some instructions about the performance in the evening, distributed the costumes, and left.

As soon as the person in charge left, the wails resounded throughout the backstage. Song Bai pulled off her clothes and found that he would be dressed like a bee. She almost fainted. "Only kindergarten children wear this, right?"

"What's yours, Weiyan?"

Xu Weiyan opened her clothes for Song Bai to see. The long nose on the headgear was particularly eye-catching.

Her costume was in the shape of an elephant.

"All right, all right. Take it and try it first. Change it if it's not suitable or damaged anywhere."

As soon as the director spoke, everyone stopped talking and casually put on their clothes to see if they fit.

The person in charge didn't prepare a room for them, so they had to set up tents.

The place they chose was on the lawn by the lake. It was spacious, with good scenery. It was a good place.

After the tents were set up, they were relieved.

They had to rehearse in the afternoon, so their entertainment time was almost at this time in the morning.

The men took the initiative to barbecue. Some of the girls helped to get the ingredients, while others went to take photos and walk around.

Xu Weiyan helped to put away the barbecue plates. When she saw the girls who went to take photos coming back, she was very excited.

"Wow, he's so handsome, especially the one in black. I love him."

"That's right. I would've gone up and asked for his WeChat. However, there's a woman beside them. I wonder whose girlfriend she is. Who would dare to go up and ask for his WeChat?" the girl said regretfully.

Xu Weiyan packed up her things and planned to go out to walk around. Seeing that Song Bai was chatting happily with others, she didn't disturb them and went on her own.

The environment in this Wildlife Park was very good. Even the grass and trees were carefully taken care of. Xu Weiyan walked along the lake and saw many tents. It seemed that they were not the only ones who lived here tonight.

"Gu Yu'an, can't you help me? Why are you walking around?" Pei Wenxuan asked Gu Yu'an angrily. This shabby tent was really killing him. He had spent half an hour setting it up but failed.

"Stupid," Gu Yu'an glanced at him coldly.

He kept looking around, but Pei Wenxuan didn't know what he was looking for.

Pei Wenxuan was furious. Who exactly was he going to do this for? Who exactly was he working so hard for but being scolded? Someone was still so idle. It was really infuriating.

"Xu Weiyan," Gu Yu'an suddenly called out Xu Weiyan's name, who was not far away. He then walked over and ignored Pei Wenxuan.

Pei Wenxuan watched helplessly as Gu Yu'an walked towards a young lady, and then he brought her over to them.

Pei Wenxuan was confused, and so was Xu Weiyan.

Xu Weiyan finally knew who the handsome guy her colleagues were talking about was. She didn't expect Gu Yu'an to be here.

"Oh, I know who you are. You're the unlucky guy who hit someone riding motorcycle and was blackmailed." Not only that, but Gu Yu'an also fell in love with her at first sight.

Originally, he was just teasing Gu Yu'an, but at this point, it seemed that he was right.

"I was wondering why a workaholic like Gu Yu'an would suddenly come here for a picnic. Damn."

Xu Weiyan was surprised and looked at Gu Yu'an. "You're here for a picnic?"

She knew that doctors were very busy with their work.
