Chapter 168： "My suggestion is to delete it"

Chapter 168 “My suggestion is to delete it”

Gu Rong put his card on the machine and swiped it for her. He Manting smiled at him.

Originally, the scene here was supposed to show the two of them looking at each other and smiling, but Luo Hua saw He Manting smiling sweetly through the camera, while Gu Rong was the only one with an expressionless face, as if someone owed him money.

Luo Hua paused the machine, walked over and told Gu Rong to be more friendly and to give He Manting a smile.

Gu Rong said that he always had this expression. If he smiled deliberately, it would look very deliberate.

Luo Hua nodded thoughtfully.

After He Manting finished filming her part, she took the dinner plate and found a place to sit down. She looked up at Gu Rong, as if hoping that Gu Rong would come and sit with her.

Gu Rong suddenly said to Luo Hua: "The whole plot of the cafeteria is very abrupt."

Luo Hua: “Isn’t this plot able to show the friendship between classmates?”

Gu Rong: "I don't think it's good. In the afternoon, you will film the scene of me playing basketball with the basketball team. It can also show the friendship between classmates, and it overlaps with the canteen."

Luo Hua: “Then what do you want?”

“My suggestion is to delete it.”

Luo Hua hesitated: "Just delete it?"

Gu Rong: "Well, so as not to affect the length of the promotional video."

Luo Hua: “…Okay.”

So he planned to keep part of the scene where Gu Rong came to the cafeteria, and delete all subsequent scenes of He Manting.

However, He Manting herself didn't know about this yet. She was still wondering what Gu Rong and Luo Hua were talking about for so long.

Pei Tiantian had already walked to the cafeteria. When she saw the scene in the hall, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

Because the cafeteria had greeted them in advance, the students were not huddled together and scrambling to get food as usual.

Rather, the queues are arranged in an orderly and neat manner.

Even the marble floor, which usually had a sheen of oil, had been mopped until it became shiny.

The tables, chairs and benches sitting in the canteen have also been wiped clean.

The previously noisy cafeteria seemed a bit quiet. Everyone knew that a photographer was shooting material for the promotional video, so everyone deliberately lowered their voices.

Pei Tiantian:…

Sure, it's very contrived.

Pei Tiantian found a short queue and stood in line, then took out a Wanwan dog-blood romance novel she bought at a street stall and read it while queuing.

Luo Hua did not stay in the canteen to eat. Gu Rong took the prepared food and found a seat to sit down. He looked around as if he was looking for someone.

When He Manting saw that Gu Rong didn't come to sit at the table for her, she calmly got up and walked over with a dinner plate: "Gu Rong, thank you for inviting me to dinner today."

He Manting was about to sit next to Gu Rong. Unexpectedly, Gu Rong put a book on the seat: "There is someone here."

A trace of anger flashed in He Manting's eyes, but she did not leave. She took the next best step and sat opposite Gu Rong's seat.

Seeing that He Manting and Gu Rong not only did not leave after taking the photo, but also sat at a table to eat, which attracted the attention of many people in the cafeteria.

He Manting enjoyed the look, but Gu Rong frowned and suddenly said: "A total of two yuan."

He Manting was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand what he was talking about.

“I just lent you my meal card just for shooting needs. The meal you took cost a total of two yuan.”

He Manting: "What do you mean?"

“I mean it’s time for you to give me the money back.”

He Manting’s face became colorful and really beautiful. She didn't expect that Gu Rong was so stingy that he even asked for money back when he treated her to a canteen.

But He Manting couldn't lose her temper in front of so many people, so he could only swallow it, took out two dollars from his body and put it on the table next to Gu Rong: "Here you go, that's all."

After Pei Tiantian finished cooking, she took the plate and saw where Gu Rong was sitting, but he also saw He Manting sitting opposite him.

There was no ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, because He Manting's face was visibly unhappy.

As soon as Gu Rong saw Pei Tiantian coming, he picked up the book on the seat and asked her to sit down.

When He Manting saw this scene, her face turned darker.

“Brother Gu Rong, what kind of money is this on the table?”

Pei Tiantian asked softly.

Gu Rong: "Meal money, I just gave her a meal card for the filming."

Pei Tiantian's expression became a little incomprehensible.

So Gu Rong just paid He Manting two yuan for food for the filming, and then he was asking He Manting to get the two yuan back?

Isn't this...the villain boss such a stingy person? How could he behave like a straight man?

No wonder the atmosphere between the two people is strange.

After Pei Tiantian sat down, she began to eat the food on the plate. She habitually picked out the celery from the fried beef and put it on Gu Rong's plate.

Gu Rong didn’t say anything, as he seemed to have become accustomed to it. Just ate the celery.

He Manting's eyes paused on the two people.

 Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong are not biological siblings. Everyone in the school knows that Gu Rong is an orphan and the Pei family adopted him.

But is the behavior between Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong too intimate?

Pei Tiantian was eating spicy chicken, and her mouth was stained with pepper. When Gu Rong saw it, he subconsciously took out a tissue and wiped it for her.

Pei Tiantian smiled, deliberately picked up a piece of spicy chicken and put it into Gu Rong's rice, and said evilly: "Brother Gu Rong, why don't you try it? The spicy chicken in the cafeteria is really delicious!"

Gu Rong looked at the piece of spicy chicken on his dinner plate. He slowly picked it up and ate it.

Although his always cold look made it difficult for outsiders to tell whether he liked it or not, Pei Tiantian could still see the word "unpalatable" from his disgusted eyes.

Pei Tiantian doesn't understand why there are villains in this world who don't like spicy food, sweet food, or sour food. They have a bland taste just like an old man.

 Gu Rong saw that there were some vegetables left on Pei Tiantian's plate, and he said, "Don't be too picky about eating. You can't eat no vegetables at all."

Pei Tiantian’s little face wrinkled up. She had obviously eaten two green vegetables, but she really didn’t want to eat them.

She is a carnivore and doesn't like eating vegetarian vegetables very much, and Pei Tiantian always feels that vegetables have a bitter taste. I don't know if it is her imagination, but under Gu Rong's strong request, Pei Tiantian reluctantly eats vegetables. After eating some more vegetables, I put down my chopsticks.

This time Gu Rong was satisfied.

After Pei Tiantian finished eating the disgusting vegetables, she looked up and found that He Manting, who was sitting opposite her, had long disappeared.

He Manting was thoroughly looked down upon by these two people, and she couldn't stay any longer no matter how thick-skinned she was.

She ate a couple of hurried bites and left.

However, when she thought of the relationship between Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian, He Manting felt more and more that something was not right.
