Chapter 1145: Chapter 660: Exploit the Situation_2

"Besides, we’re not planning to drink a lot with you," Qin Yuan began, "just to have a few sips and then chat. If we kept drinking with you, wouldn’t we forget why we came here? We’re here to open our hearts to each other and to help you resolve your issues."

"Otherwise, our visit would be meaningless. Although I’m not sure if you’re willing to open up right now, as long as we persist, there will surely be a change. Nothing is predestined—at many times, change is possible."

Of course, they needed to eat something—they couldn’t play with their lives.

Even though Liu Yue wanted them not to eat anything, they wouldn’t do that.

So, they were definitely going to eat.

Now, it was just a matter of seeing how Liu Yue would react.

But before Liu Yue had the chance to speak, Jiang Qi hooked the corner of his lips and said slowly, "Yeah, we’ve thought it through. We’re not going to drink on an empty stomach, it’s really bad for your health."

"And I asked you earlier, didn’t I? Are you drinking on an empty stomach? If you are, then I advise you to stop and eat something first. We’re not going to snatch your drink away."

"Since we’ve said we want to be friends, we have to give you enough respect and will respect your choices. We’ll just advise you, not use force. What would be the difference between us and robbers if we used force?"

His expression was very serious, and there was not a trace of a smile on his face.

He was not kidding.

Being friends meant giving each other ample respect.

Otherwise, what kind of friendship would that be?

It was uncertain whether this would move Liu Yue.

If it could move her, that would be best.

But as the seconds and minutes ticked by, Liu Yue’s face showed no expression.

She seemed entirely indifferent.

Yet now she started drinking again.

It was as if she were ignoring them completely.

Mr. Liu, seeing this, became extremely anxious.

He really wanted to stand up.

But he couldn’t do that.

After all, his daughter still didn’t like him.

So he needed to calm down for now.

Just watch the scene unfold.

Just then, Wu Zeyuan curled his lips and said seriously, "Actually, what he said is quite right. Since we are friends, we need to respect each other and won’t ask the other party to do things they don’t want to do. If you feel like drinking now, naturally, we’ll stay here with you."

"You do have to answer us one question, though. Are you drinking on an empty stomach? If you are, then we will ask you to eat something before continuing to drink. If not, we won’t stop you."

"We won’t just not stop you, but we’ll also keep you company drinking. So, are you going to eat something and then drink, or what?"

They looked at Liu Yue with hope in their eyes.

But still, Liu Yue’s face showed no expression.

After a moment, she finally spoke, "Alright, you’ve asked to the point where I can’t keep silent. So be it—I’ll tell you, I have eaten something."

"How could I possibly come here to drink without eating? I do care about my body. I won’t joke with my own health, so you don’t have to worry about that."

"Moreover, I didn’t come here to drink because I’ve given up on life. I just wanted to vent a little, and since I’ve never tried venting in this way, I found it quite novel, and so I came here."

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yuan and the others were surprised.

They had not expected Liu Yue to speak.

Nor had they expected her to reveal so much key information.

They were truly amazed.

It took a while for Qin Yuan to collect himself, then he said very earnestly, "We hadn’t really expected you to explain yourself here. We thought you wouldn’t. But hearing your explanation, we’re really happy."

"It’s beyond what we dared to hope for. Now that you’ve understood us, we’ll go order some dishes and eat some food, then keep you company drinking. We can chat while we drink."

That was their goal: to drink and chat simultaneously.

Their main approach was to have a conversation as friends.

Now, it was uncertain if Liu Yue would agree?

Fortunately, it was not daytime.

If it were daytime, they simply wouldn’t have this much time to spend here.

After all, they had to research technology during the day.

It was only after they finished their work that they had time to eat in the evening.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be here.

Qin Yuan thought to himself in silence.

Liu Yue looked at his pleased expression and was still a bit stunned.

Jiang Qi and Wu Zeyuan exchanged a smile.

Their faces also revealed expressions of delighted surprise.

The next moment, Jiang Qi immediately said, "It’s really great, I didn’t expect you would pay attention to us, so now that we’re getting a response from you, it’s not like there’s no response at all, we don’t need to feel utterly disappointed."

"You said you had eaten something before drinking here, and I’m truly very happy about that. As long as you’re not drinking on an empty stomach, that’s fine. Taking good care of one’s health is very important."

"I think you didn’t really want us to drink on an empty stomach either, you just wanted to see how we would choose. Now that you’ve seen us make our choice, you’re somewhat pleased, and that’s why you’re paying attention to us."

Otherwise, Liu Yue wouldn’t have paid attention to them.

It must have been this point that touched her.

And to think it was this point that had moved her.

Actually, he hadn’t known at first, it was only now that he thought of it.

As time ticked by, Liu Yue didn’t speak, her face showing a hint of discomfort.

Sitting nearby, Wu Zeyuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, then he hurriedly said, "I didn’t expect you to agree with us, it’s really great. It’s fantastic that you can eat and drink, it means you know how to take care of yourself, you didn’t hurt yourself."

"That’s a really fabulous thing. Some people may hurt themselves to achieve their goals, but you are not like that, you are very special."

"Now we’re going to order food first, and later you should also eat a bit with us. How could you only drink without eating? That would be meaningless, I’m going to order food right now."

After saying this, Wu Zeyuan stood up.

He didn’t wait for Liu Yue to respond.

He’d order the dishes first.

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

As for whether Liu Yue would eat or not, that was for later.

It wasn’t a concern for the moment.

Just then, Liu Yue’s lips twitched slightly, and she turned to look at Qin Yuan and Jiang Qi, slowly saying, "Why did he go and order without waiting for my response, does he think I’ll eat just because he didn’t wait for me to say anything?"

Hearing this, Qin Yuan and Jiang Qi looked at each other and smiled.

Their faces bore extremely serious expressions.

A moment later, Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow, "He’s probably just too hungry, so he rushed to order."

Of course, he couldn’t say that was the real reason.

He definitely had to find an excuse.

Hearing this, Liu Yue blinked, "Is that so?"

"Of course, that’s the case," Qin Yuan nodded.

"Absolutely," Jiang Qi concurred from the side.

Sitting aside, Old Mr. Liu saw them chatting and laughing and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed they had indeed played a role.

He had thought they might not make any difference.

Fortunately, they did make a difference.

Otherwise, he would have been anxious here all the time.

At that moment, Liu Yue glanced over inadvertently.

She immediately locked eyes with Old Mr. Liu.

But not long after, Liu Yue quickly looked away.

Qin Yuan noticed this, but just as he was about to say something, Liu Yue started drinking again.

So, he swallowed back whatever he had wanted to say.
