Thinking about it, he felt the words sounded too harsh and not affectionate enough. Jian Ning’s expression softened, and he touched his hair, saying gently: “Okay, I don’t mean to dislike you. It’s just that staying here affects my work too much.”
Qiao Yu’s mood dropped: “Why?”
Jian Ning coughed, suppressing goosebumps: “Well… I…”
Qiao Yu stared at her directly, eyes full of expectation: “What do you want to say?”
“……”
After a moment of silence, Jian Ning squeezed out a smile: “I think you’re too cute.”
Qiao Yu’s eyes instantly brightened: “So, you’re saying you can’t help but steal glances at me during filming because I’m too cute, and that’s why you don’t want me to stay here?”
Jian Ning immediately nodded, feeling relieved and the goosebumps gone, affectionately pinching his smooth, delicate chin: “Our little fish is so smart.”
Qiao Yu blushed: “Is ‘little fish’ a nickname you gave me?”
His little eyes were as obedient as a newborn puppy, full of dependence and clingy, making Jian Ning almost unable to lie to him, feeling a bit soft-hearted.
But is she someone who can be easily charmed by cuteness? Definitely not.
Jian Ning swallowed, feeling like she was about to trick a little kid: “Do you like it?”
Qiao Yu shyly lowered his head, nodding like a little girl, his voice filled with joy: “I like it, I really like it.”
“Good that you like it,” Jian Ning smiled, suddenly saying: “Now go back. Did you drive here yourself or did someone bring you?”
Qiao Yu was still a bit dazed: “We’re leaving so soon?”
Jian Ning nodded firmly, pulling his hand and leading him outside: “Be good, I’ll come back right after work and have dinner with you, okay?”
Qiao Yu struggled internally, standing still and refusing to leave: “But Hao Ge, I really want to stay with you. How about I wait here? I promise not to go out and disturb you. Wait until you’re done filming, then come find me, and we’ll go home together.”
“No,” Jian Ning turned around, focusing intently on his eyes, trying to make her gaze look sincere and deep, “As long as you’re in this crew, even if you lock yourself inside, you’ll still distract me.”
