The atmosphere in the car was silent, with an unspeakable subtlety.
Ye Hai didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he took the initiative to break the ice, "Recently... how have you been feeling?"
He had watched the live broadcast of her challenging the ordeal during the heavy rain from beginning to end. He saw her running wildly in the rain, then deliberately faking a collapse to save the staff, only to be cursed by the entire internet in the end. If his older brother hadn't forbidden him from interfering, he would have arrested all those keyboard warriors hiding behind their screens!
Later, when he learned she was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief. But he still wanted to ask her in person. However, he was worried she might recall the incident and feel unhappy, so in the end, he could only ask her dryly and without preamble, "How have you been feeling?"
Ye Hai was so angry at his own clumsy tongue.
Fortunately, Song Xi was an intelligent person and understood the underlying meaning of his words.
She curved her lips slightly, "I'm quite well."
Ye Hai inwardly let out a long sigh of relief and asked again, "Do you have any schedules tonight?"
"No. I'm going to watch a stand-up comedy show with a friend."
Stand-up comedy?
Ye Hai frowned, but wanting to find a topic to talk about with Song Xi, he quickly reacted and said, "You like stand-up comedy too? Who is your favorite comedian?"
Song Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You like it too? I've just started getting into it, so I don't have a favorite comedian yet."
So she had just started.
Ye Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I've watched it a few times, it's quite interesting."
"Do you have a favorite comedian then?"
Suddenly, Ye Hai slammed on the brakes and unbuckled his seatbelt. "I'm suddenly a bit thirsty. I'll go buy a cup of coffee. Would you like one?"
Song Xi nodded blankly, "Oh... okay."
Ye Hai had never been so nervous before. His palms were covered in sweat. If this were in the army, his teammates would probably laugh him to death for being so timid.
While waiting for the coffee, Ye Hai quickly searched for information about stand-up comedy online.
He also began to deduce. Song Xi said she was going to watch a stand-up comedy show tonight. He checked and found that there were three shows scheduled for today.
Combining this with the color of the ticket stub he had glimpsed in Song Xi's pocket, which was red.
In conclusion, the stand-up comedy show Song Xi was going to should be the one at 9:20 PM.
"Hello, sir. Your coffee is ready."
Ye Hai stared at his phone and said without looking back, "Please remake two cups. I forgot to say I wanted them hot."
"Certainly, please wait a moment."
Ye Hai looked at the list of performers for tonight's show, scanning it with great speed. He memorized the names and picked one that caught his eye, then searched for him on Baidu.
Five minutes later, the server approached Ye Hai with the newly made coffees, "Sir, your hot coffees are ready."
Ye Hai finally put away his phone and took the coffees from the server with a confident expression.
"Thank you."
...
"Sorry about that, the machine malfunctioned, so it took a little longer."
After getting back into the car, Ye Hai handed a cup of coffee to Song Xi.
Song Xi said "Thank you" and offered, "How much is it? I'll transfer you the money."
Ye Hai paused as he closed the car door, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. "Song Xi, for Xiao Tian's sake, do you really need to be so calculative with me?"
Song Xi thought about it. She really couldn't interact with him as she used to, after all, he was now Ye Tian's older brother.
"Alright then, thank you."
Hearing this, Ye Hai felt relieved.
"Oh, what were you asking me just now? About favorite comedians? I wouldn't say I have a favorite, but he's quite interesting when he speaks..."
Ye Hai's words began to flow more freely.
Song Xi initially thought he was just saying things to humor her, but to her surprise, he actually knew about it!
Since Song Xi herself was a novice and hadn't watched stand-up comedy, seeing Ye Hai talk so eloquently, she believed him.
"Have you watched the show 'Everyone Loves Stand-Up Comedy'?"
There was such a show?
Ye Hai braced himself and replied, "Of course I have! I like one of the male contestants."
"What's his name?"
"Hiss..." Ye Hai gasped. He wasn't good at lying. If Song Xi looked closely, she would clearly see the veins on the back of his hand bulging due to nervousness.
"I've forgotten his name, sorry."
Song Xi didn't press further, "It's okay."
Ye Hai silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Where is your friend? We're almost there."
"Over there!"
Song Xi spotted Xiao Mo immediately. She pointed at the person in black clothing ahead.
But there were several people standing there, both men and women. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Ye Hai's heart skipped a beat, "What color clothes is he wearing?"
"Black."
Ye Hai stared at the bald man with glasses, dressed all in black. His expression gradually turned displeased, but he gritted his teeth and smiled, "Okay, I'll drive the car over."
