“Since there is nothing important, come back early,” Wei Xi raised his hand, pressed Ling Zhen’s hat brim down, and said gently in her ear, “…no drinking is allowed.”

Ling Zhen also knew that her head would hurt badly after drinking. She raised her eyes and said, “But, what if someone wants me to drink then I can’t refuse it.”

“Then use my name.” Wei Xi said.

Ling Zhen blinked.

Wei Xi slowly whispered in her ear again, “Tell them, I won’t let you drink.”

Let them know who you belong to.

The crew of “The Questions of the Immortal” directly covered the big banquet hall on the first floor of the hotel with more than a dozen tables. The scene was quite lively.

The lead actors and the director and producer were sitting at the main table, Ling Zhen was sitting next to Zheng Qian Qian, and on the other side was Shen Yan Chu.

She and Zheng Qian Qian hadn’t seen each other for a long time and had a good chat about filming.

Zheng Qian Qian told her about all the fun things that happened in the crew after Ling Zhen’s work was finished. The two people laughed together. 

Shen Yan Chu several times watched them talking and laughing and did not find a chance to interrupt.

At the beginning of the banquet, all the creators expressed their thoughts on the before and after shoot experience, and then the male and female leads took the stage to give a speech, thanking the staff of the whole crew. 

After the process was over, the main dishes were served on the table, and the banquet officially began.

Unfortunately, Ling Zhen was sitting at the same table with the seniors, and naturally, she was not immune. 

She didn’t dare to do what Wei Xi said and use his name to directly push out the wine or directly refuse it. So she was shot at the beginning and had to drink two glasses.

Zheng Qian Qian touched Ling Zhen’s leg underneath, and whispered to her, “Don’t be so stupid.”

Ling Zhen blushed and nodded.

Later, she learned to refuse a little, but she still drank some more. When the screenwriter came to persuade her to drink, she was really a little bit drunk.

Ling Zhen shook her head, thinking, just pull the name card, she was about to use Wei Xi’s name to push out the wine.

But when she was about to speak, a hand suddenly came in front of her.

Shen Yan Chu smiled gently and said, “Teacher Zhao, don’t bully the little girl, I’ll drink with you.”

The screenwriter laughed and agreed with Shen Yan Chu. He smiled and said, “Do you want to be a flower protector today?”

Shen Yan Chu laughed and said, “Just taking a small care, I’m not a flower protector.”

Seeing Shen Yan Chu stopping wine for her, Ling Zhen frowned slightly.

Taking advantage of everyone’s drinking, Ling Zhen quietly slipped out of the hall, planning to hide until they had finished drinking before going back.

She breathed the fresh air outside, and fanned her face with her hand, trying to reduce the alcohol breath. 

Wei Xi didn’t like the smell of the alcohol, and she didn’t want to go home with this smell.

After a few minutes, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

When Ling Zhen turned her head, Shen Yan Chu stood behind her and slightly smiled, “I help you block alcohol without authorization, am I nosy?”

After Ling Zhen calmed Wei Xi that day, she didn’t even want to contact the male lead. 

She directly took a step back and politely replied, “No, thank you very much.”

Shen Yan Chu’s gaze fell on Ling Zhen’s face. 

After the girl had drunk, there was a slight redness on her pale skin, her black eyes were misty, and she looked very beautiful.

Shen Yan Chu subconsciously said, “Ling Zhen, in fact, your former friends still often mention you. We haven’t met for a long time since you left the group.”

Hearing this, Ling Zhen looked at the male protagonist, thinking that his words were quite unbelievable.

Was there anyone in the group who hadn’t ridiculed the original owner?! Would gatherings of such people really miss her??!

Perhaps the resistance in her eyes was too obvious. Shen Yan Chu helplessly said, “We did misunderstand you before, but now we don’t. I hope you won’t be so repulsive of us.”

Ling Zhen said, “You really think too much, I’ll go back first.”

Seeing her leave, Shen Yan Chu subconsciously stretched out his hand and held her, “Wait a minute—”

At this moment, Ling Zhen’s phone rang suddenly.

Ling Zhen saw that it was Wei Xi.

She quickly threw away Shen Yan Chu’s hand and picked it up.

“Hey?”

“Are you full?” Wei Xi’s voice sounded very calm.

Ling Zhen actually only ate the starters and she wasn’t full yet, but she really didn’t want to stay any longer.

“Almost full…” Ling Zhen said.

“Then come back.”

“Huh??” Ling Zhen was startled.

Not far away, a man in a black suit was looking at a man and a woman standing opposite to each other.

His pupils were so dark that they could absorb any light, his emotions were tight but he didn’t let it leak. His voice was so calm that it almost sounded weird.

“I’m hungry,” the man said.
