Chapter 597: Saying a word has no loss, and gambling has no cost.
"I...I wrote a song...to express my feelings for you..."
Ye Sanqing's judgment was not without basis. Pei Canxing's current speaking state was similar to that of a broken robot, stammering and only managing to utter one or two words at a time, with a very unwilling expression.
Moreover, his eyes revealed a look of terror, as if he were saying, "Help! My body is being controlled!" This is not what I wanted to say!
More importantly, there were abnormal flashes of light in his pupils, which looked like... data fragments?
"I understand, I refuse now."
Ye Sanqing immediately replied.
Lu Wangshen was genuinely surprised this time. He looked up at Pei Canxing, then at Ye Sanqing, as if he had countless questions to ask.
But in the end, he only asked one word, "Huh?"
"I'm sorry, Master Ye, I..."
As soon as Ye Sanqing said "refusal," Pei Canxing's out-of-control state immediately disappeared. He immediately changed his form of address, wanting to explain that what he had just said was not his intention, but Lu Wangshen was watching him from the side...
He didn't know who this person was, nor did he know why the other person was with Ye Sanqing, but he had a feeling that this person had ill intentions.
Even if he was eager to explain, he didn't want to go out and have his story spread or be written about indiscriminately.
He came here today, and everything was normal. He was just attending a filming ceremony, and he didn't think too much about it. After all, he had written lyrics and music for TV series and movies before, so he was often invited to participate.
But after the group activity ended, he took a few photos and before he could even say hello to the others, he suddenly felt a strong urge to go to the restroom.
Then he blacked out... until Ye Sanqing called out to him just now.
Before Pei Canxing could even wonder why he had suddenly arrived here, he was shocked by the completely unexpected statement he made!
Possessed by a ghost? This must be a ghost possession!
He had absolutely no feelings for Ye Sanqing; to him, she was just his good friend's sister, and his sister's good friend...
That was terrifying. Luckily, there was no one else around, otherwise I have a feeling Ye Er would laugh at him if he heard that...
"Brother Pei, this is President Lu Wangshen, the second young master of the Lu family. President Lu, this is Pei Canxing, but you should know who he is, right?"
Two people: Something's not right with you!
Why did we suddenly switch to character introductions?!
Is this the current situation?
Are you just going to completely ignore it as if nothing happened?
Lu Wangshen thought to himself, "At least she didn't call me 'A-Shen' at this time, otherwise it would have been terrifying."
Since Ye Sanqing chose to ignore the matter, Lu Wangshen, as an outsider, did not press the issue further and simply kept it in mind.
Lu Wangshen had no idea that it was a superficial situation where Sheng Hanyu's cousin was competing with him for a woman, because Pei Canxing's strange expression just now was obvious to the naked eye.
It seems another unsolved mystery has been added to the world's list...
Ye Sanqing's reaction was incredibly fast.
Judging from Pei Canxing's normal behavior after she spoke, Ye Sanqing probably already had a backup plan for this situation.
I just don't understand why it was a direct rejection?
Or rather, the refusal itself wasn't surprising, but she gave her answer in less than three seconds without any thought whatsoever.
Lu Wangshen certainly wouldn't assume that Ye Sanqing would be shy or anything like that upon hearing the confession. But even an ordinary person would hesitate for a moment in this situation, right?
To refuse outright without any room for negotiation completely disregards the possibility of harming the other party and the potential consequences.
While this aligns with Ye Sanqing's personality, something still feels off...
Her behavior clearly showed that she had prepared the answer in advance and was just waiting for the other party to ask the question.
But he couldn't ask directly now, so he put on a very deceptive smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Pei, I've heard so much about you, your songs are very beautiful."
Ye Sanqing: When you act like a human being, you really do act like one.
"Uh, hello, Mr. Lu? Hello."
Pei Canxing was still a little dazed. He knew what kind of background the Lu family had, but why would Ye Sanqing act with the Lu family at this time?
He seemed to be experiencing a significant delay, but it's understandable. He was in seclusion writing songs, which meant he was basically blocking out all online information, making it no different from being on Mars.
The two shook hands politely, and then Ye Sanqing said, "We were just about to have lunch, let's go together."
Pei Canxing nodded and followed in silence.
Even with a mask on, he couldn't hide the utterly bewildered look on his face...
Lu Wangshen entered a state of deep thought.
These two seem completely mismatched...
Pei Canxing looks very naive; his mind is probably only focused on his music.
Although they are good-looking, to be honest, where in their vicinity are there really any ugly people?
Putting aside appearance, would Ye Sanqing like someone with a scholarly style?
Lu Wangshen suddenly started thinking about this because, although Ye Sanqing had immediately refused, it only meant that she had no feelings for Pei Canxing.
What if she has feelings for someone else?
So far, all of Lu Wangshen's calculations have been based on the assumption that "Ye Sanqing is incapable of being in a relationship."
Lu Mingye's feigned pursuit could only proceed on this basis.
What if Ye Sanqing suddenly had a brain freeze and wanted to fall in love?
Even if she has no interest or thoughts about other people...
Pei Canxing's behavior just now was as if he had suddenly lost his mind. Who can guarantee that this kind of crazy behavior won't happen to Ye Sanqing?
"Third Miss, please wait."
It wasn't even a few minutes' walk from here, and after thinking it over, Lu Wangshen quickly came to a conclusion.
Ye Sanqing nodded to Pei Canxing and Sheng Hanyu who were walking over, then reached out and pushed Lu Wangshen's wheelchair. After the two were a little distance away from the main entrance, she said, "What brilliant ideas does the Second Young Master have?"
"I want to pursue you too."
Lu Wangshen decided that if there was a possibility, he should strike first!
He put aside feelings and what he liked or disliked; rather than have his plans interfered with by random people, he preferred to keep them in his own hands.
"You...are you just joining in the fun?"
Ye Sanqing took out his phone and glanced at the date. "Is today April Fool's Day?"
She could have expected Lu Wangshen to comment on what had just happened, but the content of his statement...
Ye Sanqing couldn't help but wonder if he was also being controlled by the world's will, and he looked him up and down several times.
"I'm not just joining in the fun, nor am I being impulsive. Will you reconsider?"
Lu Wangshen said solemnly.
He knew his suggestion was unconvincing and didn't seem to offer Ye Sanqing any obvious benefit.
But there's no harm in saying it, and no cost in taking a gamble.
