Chapter 1720: The Poor Princess Enters the Entertainment Circle
On Shi Li's side, there were only her and Qi Ling.
Han Lu walked over with such a clear purpose, and Qi Ling, who was alert, naturally noticed her at the first moment. However, when he saw that she was staring at him, he frowned in confusion.
"Do you know each other?" Shi Li couldn't help but ask quietly.
"I don't know him." Qi Ling answered calmly.
Then Han Lu walked up to the two of them.
She was a very polite girl. She finally withdrew her gaze from Qi Ling and looked at Shi Li apologetically.
"I'm sorry to bother you while you're eating, Mr. Shi. I didn't expect to see someone I know here, and I couldn't wait to come over and say hello."
"Oh, it's okay."
Shi Li immediately waved her hand, but thought sourly in her heart: Well... I am indeed very impatient.
But Han Lu stopped looking at her and instead looked at Qi Ling with excitement.
"Do you still remember me? Back then in Qing County, it was you who saved me and my roommate!" Han Lu became a little excited and his eyes turned red.
Compared to her excitement, Qi Ling was calm and somewhat unkind. He just relaxed his brows and responded calmly, "It was my duty at the time. You don't have to take it too seriously."
"No, no, no! You saved our lives. I, we are all extremely grateful to you!" Han Lu spoke with a trembling voice, and it was obvious that he was really excited.
At first, she and several roommates were almost in despair, but they didn't expect Qi Ling to come and save them like a god. But the situation was too chaotic, and when she came to her senses, Qi Ling was gone.
She originally thought that she would never have the chance to see him again, but unexpectedly she met him on the crew. How could this not be fate?
Thinking of this, Han Lu lowered his eyelids and revealed a slightly shy smile.
Shi Li, who witnessed the whole process, said:
Suddenly I felt that I was a little redundant standing here.
Tremella soup is a bit sour.
She was wondering if she should take the initiative to find a cooler place instead of disturbing others while they were reminiscing about the past, when the stage manager came over in a hurry.
"Han Lu, the director wants you to come over! We have an additional scene this afternoon!"
Work cannot be taken lightly. Han Lu had no choice but to follow the staff out, looking back every few steps before he finished speaking.
Shi Li glanced at Qi Ling, who had a dull reaction from beginning to end, then looked down at the lunch box in her hand and felt even less able to eat.
[I’m jealous hehehe~]
[I don’t think I have any right to be jealous. Qi Ling is just your assistant, anchor~]
[As for this thing, if you are jealous, then be jealous. What's the point of taking a stand? Girls are all like this, hahaha! ]
The barrage of comments mocked Shi Li unscrupulously.
She ignored him and used her chopsticks to pick at her lunch box. Her appetite, which had just been aroused by the Tremella soup, was now gone.
Qi Ling was indeed just her assistant, and she really had no right to be jealous... Wait a minute!
Why do you say she is jealous!
She is not jealous!
Shi Li's mouth is very hard.
"Is it because it's so hot that you can't eat? How about ordering another bowl of cold noodles?" Qi Ling didn't seem to understand her mood at all and came up with a very acceptable excuse for her.
"No, I'm not that hungry anyway."
Shi Li said perfunctorily. Now all she wanted to think about was what had happened between Han Lu and Qi Ling before. However, she had no right to ask. It was so painful!
In this situation, if it were anyone else, they would definitely not be able to guess what she was thinking.
But Qi Ling had learned micro-expressions, and after looking at her a few times inexplicably, he almost guessed what she was thinking.
He cleared his throat and said casually, "When Miss Han said that just now, I just remembered that I had met her before."
He narrated the incident very calmly.
More than a year ago, he was still a member contributing to the country and received a mission to arrest human traffickers.
At that time, the human trafficking gang was hiding in a very remote mountain village. Han Lu and several girls in the dormitory were deceived and went there and were controlled.
When they were desperate, Qi Ling arrived with his men, wiped out the human traffickers, and rescued them as well.
Although this matter is not a secret, according to Qi Ling's previous character, he would never tell it casually.
But seeing that Shi Li was unhappy, he explained it naturally.
"No wonder she was so eager to come to you just now."
After hearing the whole story, Shi Li looked up at him, and her words unconsciously included Han Lu's previous words.
When Qi Ling heard this, he suddenly remembered a joke he saw on the Internet yesterday when he had nothing to do.
A couple was shopping together. The boy helped a girl who was passing by pick up her dropped phone, and the girl said "thank you".
Then, his girlfriend started to talk to him on repeat.
The joke was so exaggerated that when both of them were old, the girl still said in a sarcastic tone: "Thank you~"
When Qi Ling thought of Shi Li in front of him, he felt like laughing.
Suppressing the smile on his face, he reached out and patted Shi Li's head.
It was unexpectedly intimate, but neither he nor Shi Li reacted.
