Chapter 167 - 167 Snatching Melons
167 Snatching Melons
This was also the first time Ji Jun had met a girl like Yu Han. She was only 18 years old, but she was so independent and capable. It was as if all the difficult problems could be easily resolved in her hands.
Initially, he thought that he had gotten someone to spread the truth about the Qin siblings’ car accident and could help Yu Han escape completely. However, from Yu Han’s subsequent actions, it was obvious that she already knew about this in advance and had a corresponding response.
What he did was just icing on the cake.
That made sense. Even if Yu Han did not have a countermeasure, she still had Starlight Entertainment as her backer. With her great favor in the Chen Family, the latter would do their best to help her settle this matter.
After Ji Jun hung up, he looked up at the next door and saw that the lights were still on. He knocked on the railing of the window and finally knocked on the door next door.
“Who is it?” Lang Yu was taking a shower, so it was He Meng who answered the door. She was wondering who would come to look for her at night.
However, she heard a familiar voice from outside the door. “It’s me.”
He Meng’s eyes lit up. Could it be that Best Actor Ji was sending watermelon over again? She didn’t know where he bought his watermelons from. After soaking it in the well water in the shop, it was sweet and crispy. She hadn’t eaten enough of the two small pieces last time. She felt that it didn’t taste like that when she went to other shops to buy it later.
He Meng opened the door nimbly. When she saw Ji Jun, she instinctively looked at his hands, only to see that his hands were empty. The light in her eyes had dimmed a lot.
Ji Jun sensitively sensed He Meng’s gaze and quickly realized what was going on. He recalled how wary she was of him previously and suddenly raised his eyebrows. He wanted to walk in, but he stopped.
“I cut up a watermelon and can’t finish it. I don’t know if you girls want to eat at night, so I thought of coming over to ask first. If you want it, I’ll send it over.”
He Meng found it a little strange. He could just get his assistant to tell her. Why did Best Actor Ji have to lower himself to send it over?
Then, she recalled the rumors about his strange hobby. It was said that he did not like others to appear in front of him and get too close to him. Hence, his team rented another courtyard and did not approach him unless there was something important.
For example, there were clearly three rooms in his courtyard, but only he and his manager, Lin Zi, lived there. He guessed that Ji Jun probably couldn’t be bothered to call for help, so He Meng dismissed this small suspicion.
He Meng said embarrassedly, “I’m quite embarrassed. We keep eating your watermelons.”
Ji Jun said calmly, “Anyway, I can’t finish it. It’s a waste to throw it away.”
Alright, although it was the truth, she felt that Best Actor Ji sounded disgusted when he said it. Fortunately, He Meng had interacted with him many times, so she was already used to his lukewarm appearance. “In that case, we’ll accept it respectfully.”
He Meng was about to follow Ji Jun and carry the watermelon back when Ji Jun raised his chin slightly. “Then go in and wait.”
He Meng stopped in her tracks. Was Best Actor Ji actually such a passionate person? He didn’t look like it. But on careful thought, perhaps he didn’t like strangers entering his courtyard?
He Meng shook her head and walked back to the courtyard to sit.
In the courtyard next door, Lin Zi saw him return from outside. “It’s almost eleven o’clock. Where did you go?”
Ji Jun stopped in his tracks and called out to him, “Go get a watermelon from the well.”
Lin Zi was a person who liked to eat. When he heard that Ji Jun was going to cut watermelon, he walked three steps to the well at the side door. As he scooped up the watermelon in the bucket, he asked, “Didn’t Director Sun ask you to control your weight recently? Why are you thinking of eating watermelon in the middle of the night?”
As the male lead was a thin and weak patient in the early stages of the movie, Director Sun hoped that Ji Jun could maintain a thin image. He had always been very professional in filming, so since he had promised to control his weight, he would usually restrict himself. Hence, he started to fast lightly from yesterday.
When he saw that Ji Jun wanted to eat, it was even fruits like watermelons that had higher sugar content and high calories. Although Lin Zi did not say that he wanted to stop him, he was also very curious why he had started to submit to his appetite after only a day.
Ji Jun ignored him. After Lin Zi picked up the watermelon that was soaked by the well water, he took it from him. “I want this. Get another one yourself.”
