NovelEnglish77 Crying for Him 1
These words stunned Pei Yilan.
She was hesitant about whether to tell him about her feelings or not. In panic, she threw the question back.
“What do you think?”
Jiang Ye looked into her eyes.
He tried to find the emotion she wanted to express and asked with uncertainty, “Because you like me?”
With her thought being seen through, Pei Yilan had no intention of hiding anything now.
“Yes.” She gripped the corner of her shirt nervously, but her eyes were firm. “I fell in love with you the first time we met.”
Jiang Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
This was the first time he had encountered such a passionate confession. Without knowing how to respond, he chose to lower his head and remain silent.
Pei Yilan was not surprised by his reaction.
She handed him the chopsticks and asked casually, “Jiang Ye, do you only treat me as a friend?”
“Yes,” he replied bluntly.
From the beginning, he had never thought of asking her for anything in the name of ‘love’ and never had any intention of lying to her simply because she helped him this time.

“I can’t give you an accurate answer about what is yet to happen.” He was afraid that she would get her hopes up and then see her hopes dashed.
Pei Yilan roughly understood what he meant.
In any case, pursuing him was a long journey, so she could only take it slowly. “Eat first. It won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“Okay.” Jiang Ye took the chopsticks from her.
He picked up a piece of steamed pumpkin and savored the sweet fragrance. His mood seemed to have been elevated and he felt much more relaxed.
“Does your stomach still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Don’t drink like that in the future.” Pei Yilan poured some soup into a plastic bowl. “Health comes first.”
“I don’t usually drink. This is an exception.”
“It’s better not to do it again.”
Jiang Ye smiled. “I know.” This time, he also understood that people who did not want to give him a chance would never give it to him.
No matter how much he did or how sincere he was, they would still treat him as a servant who could be summoned at will.
Pei Yilan smiled. “That’s for the best.”
She kept putting food into Jiang Ye’s bowl. In order to liven up the atmosphere, she even told him some interesting things that happened in the PR department to put a smile on his face.
“Thank you for helping me get the shooting opportunity.” When he was clearing the table, he thanked her all of a sudden, causing Pei Yilan to freeze.
“Brother Qifeng told you?”
“I guessed it.”
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” She threw the takeout box into the trash can. “I didn’t spend any money. I just asked a friend to help me.”
“Zhou Yanshen, right?”
“You know him?”
“He’s very famous in the industry.” Jiang Ye unscrewed the lid of the thermos. “I don’t know him. I’ve only seen him a few times.”
“He’s famous because of the scandals, right?”
“Not entirely.”
He took two sips of water to moisten his throat. “Star River is considered the leading company in the entertainment industry, so naturally he’s always in the spotlight.”
“Why didn’t you enter Star River back then?”
“When I entered the entertainment industry, I didn’t know enough about the companies and signed the contract without giving it a second thought.”
“No wonder.” Pei Yilan pulled out a chair.
At the mention of this, she said bluntly, “I think your company is run by a bunch of frauds. Have you ever thought of changing companies?”
“I have.” Jiang Ye had saved up for almost two years just to have enough money to terminate the contract. “I’ll talk to them at the end of this year.”

She looked at the scripts beside her. “Which role are you going to audition for?”
“I haven’t read them yet.”
“Then you have to hurry.”
“I will.” Jiang Ye put the cup back.
He caught her stealing glances and felt a little uncomfortable. “Where’s the ski resort you mentioned last time?”
“In Lin City.”
Pei Yilan had been waiting for his answer. Because of this matter that had yet to be decided, she even rejected going to Paris with Lin Jiao.
Unlike before, she did not hold back from expressing herself. “If you are available, I’ll buy the tickets in advance.”
Jiang Ye did not agree immediately.
He still wanted to think about it. “Can I give you an answer after the audition results are out?”
“Sure.”
Pei Yilan respected his opinion.
She looked at the clock by the wall and guessed that he still had to read the script, so she decided to say goodbye. “I’ll go home first. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
“Not really.”
Jiang Ye looked into her almond-shaped eyes and swallowed the words that were stuck in his throat. “Then be careful on the way home. Tell me when you get home.”
