You Are My Unforgettable Love

The hotpot soup wasn’t too hot and, even if it had splashed onto Shi Nianyao, it wouldn’t have caused any harm.

Besides, the waitress quickly steadied her heel and regained balance.

So, even though the pot had poured its content, it eventually did not spill on Shi Nianyao.

However, in that moment, it did cause alarm.

Qiao Lian reflexively yelled, “Be careful!”

Shi Nianyao was startled and with widened eyes, she tried to dodge it to the side.

But for some reason, the image of Mo Xicheng moving his chair earlier on suddenly flashed across her mind.

She couldn’t help thinking that if she were to fall in his direction, he might think that she was doing it on purpose.

The moment that thought struck her, she froze in position.

But at this point, she felt someone’s arm grabbing her shoulders and, with a strong pull, she fell uncontrollably in that direction, right into Mo Xicheng’s embrace.

With both his arms shielding her, he shot the waitress a warning look.

After the waitress steadied herself, she felt terribly embarrassed and said immediately, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Then she placed the pot of soup before Shi Nianyao and asked with great concern, “Miss, are you okay?”

Shi Nianyao was still in a state of confusion at this point.

Because…

Right now, all she could process was the scent of Mo Xicheng filling her nostrils.

That heady, manly scent that was both familiar and strange, making her head spin and leaving her in a complete daze.

Mo Xicheng had saved her?

Her male idol had saved her!

This thought went round and round in her head, till at last she looked at Mo Xicheng with shining eyes.

Could it be that her male idol had a teeny weeny bit of interest in her?

However, that sense of vanishing hope quickly came back as that thought crashed and burned.

It was only when the waitress spoke that Shi Nianyao realized that she was still held in her idol’s embrace.

She quickly straightened herself up and coughed once. With a red face, she looked at Mo Xicheng and said, “Thanks for that.”

He stared at his hands and recalled how when he was holding her, his heart had missed a beat. Then, expressionlessly, he turned to look at the food on the table.

Suddenly, the image from the other day appeared in his mind, that scene of how affectionate she had been with that investor.

Distancing himself again, he said, “It’s okay.”

The atmosphere went back to being awkward.

When the dinner was finally over, the four of them got up and headed out.

Looking at Shi Nianyao, Qiao Lian hurriedly grabbed Shen Liangchuan and said, “Let’s take a slow stroll back and enjoy the night scenery. Hengdian’s night sky is lovely!”

Shen Liangchuan looked up at the smoggy air. It was dark and not a star was in sight. It was very much similar to Beijing.

But he didn’t expose Qiao Lian’s intentions. He merely nodded and said a few parting words to Mo Xicheng.

Looking at Shi Nianyao, Qiao Lian said, “Mo Xicheng, Nianyao is also staying at the hotel next to the filming set. It would be nice if you could accompany her.”

Having said this, she subtly raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shi Nianyao.

The latter took a deep breath and silently gestured an ‘okay’ sign at her.

After Qiao Lian and Shi Nianyao left, Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng took a slow walk back to the filming location.

Shi Nianyao thought about the things that she was intending to say and became so nervous that her hands were clammy.

She gulped a few times. And seeing that they would arrive at the filming location very soon, she suddenly called, “Mo- Mo Xicheng.”

The man halted and turned around.

Looking down at her feet, Shi Nianyao said aloud, “Well… you… would you want a girlfriend?”
