Ye Ning leaned on the seat with her eyes closed, out of sight and out of mind.
After Gu Feng and Mu Wenhao reached the "duel" agreement, neither of them spoke again, but as long as their eyes touched, it was a silent fight.
This silence lasted for three full hours, and at noon, the carriage began to become lively again.
Many people took out their own dry food, and the conductors also began to sell various foods in the narrow aisle.
Gu Feng took out the food he had prepared long ago from his luggage and placed it on the small table in front of him.
Shaobing, beef, pickled eggs, and some pickles.
"Xiao Ning, I'm going to get some hot water."
Taking the initiative to signal to Ye Ning, after all, these foods are dry, and she will definitely want to drink water after a while.
Ye Ning nodded.
Before Gu Feng left, he still glanced at Mu Wenhao worriedly.
Mu Wenhao clasped his hands on his chest and remained motionless.
Gu Feng left quickly.
When he left, Mu Wenhao immediately lost his temper.
"Ye Ning, you said you don't like me and you don't like him, right?"
Ye Ning rolled her eyes and was speechless to him.
"Can you be normal?"
"Unless you answer my question." Mu Wenhao suddenly became obsessed with this.
Ye Ning originally didn't want to talk to him, but then she thought of his persistent temper.
If she doesn't answer, I'm afraid his thoughts will be on Gu Feng in the future.
"I don't like you or Gu Feng."
Mu Wenhao actually showed an expression of relief. Even if he couldn't get it, Gu Feng couldn't get it.
If so, the balance in his heart was distorted.
"Meng Jiaorui got into big trouble before I came here. Was it your idea?"
I don’t know if it’s because my emotions have calmed down, so I don’t feel much anger when this topic is mentioned.
"What about me?" Ye Ning knew she couldn't hide it from him.
When Mu Wenhao heard her admit it personally, he felt it was natural.
"Is this how you plot against me?"
"You were the one who plotted against me first. From the moment you got engaged to Meng Jiaorui, you were plotting against me." Ye Ning stated this fact calmly.
She was just saving herself.
Mu Wenhao said to himself: "Yes, we are plotting against each other. So don't you think that we are the real kind of people who understand each other best?"
Ye Ning didn't expect that he would come back again, "I don't think so."
At least their starting points are completely different.
"Do you think that as long as I get rid of Ye Zi's identity, I can't do anything to you?" Mu Wenhao was just chatting happily now.
Ye Ning was noncommittal.
"Then what if I change the way I do things from now on, and care about you like that boy, treat you well, and accommodate you in everything?"
Ye Ning frowned and looked at Mu Wenhao, as if she didn't expect him to say such a thing.
It seems that he also listened to what Gu Feng said?
"You really don't need to spend time and energy on me. There are a lot of women out there waiting for you to like them. Just go and like them, okay?"
Mu Wenhao made a "puff" sound and smiled.
Although this is also a rejection, it is much better than the previous attitude.
He had actually known for a long time that Ye Ning was a soft-spoken person, but maybe he had used the wrong method?
"But they are not you."
Ye Ning was completely speechless.
Mu Wenhao originally wanted to use Meng Jiaorui and Zheng Shuyun as support, but he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
If so, does it seem like he's threatening her again?
Since she doesn't like that, then he really tries to change it.
"Think about the past year, how have I, Mu Wenhao, treated you? It is no exaggeration to say that I have never disliked you because of your appearance. Instead, I have provided you with opportunities to make money and helped you become famous. Exhale. Does this help really mean nothing to you?"
He can also use the emotional card.
Sure enough, Ye Ning hesitated, and after a few seconds, under his nervous gaze, he said, "I am grateful for the help you gave me in the past."
This was the truth, but this gratitude was all wiped out by his actions after he expressed his feelings to her.
"But……"
"It's not necessary, but your words are enough. Don't worry, I won't vent my anger on Meng Jiaorui this time."
Mu Wenhao was very generous.
Ye Ning searched her eyes, not believing that he would suddenly change his temper.
But if he can really keep his word, Meng Jiaorui's current crisis can be regarded as solved.
"real?"
Confirm with him again.
Mu Wenhao nodded, "I, Mu Wenhao, always do what I say."
Ye Ning didn't believe that he kept his word, but it was better to promise than not to promise.
At this time, Gu Feng came back from fetching hot water and saw that the two of them seemed to be talking about something, but when he came closer, the conversation between the two ended.
Fortunately, Ye Ning's expression was very calm, and it didn't look like there was a dispute.
Putting the hot water bottle in front of Ye Ning, he asked with his eyes.
Ye Ning shook his head to make sure he was fine, and then gestured to him: "Let's eat."
It would take another three hours for the train to reach the county seat, so naturally we had to fill our stomachs first.
And the whole carriage was already filled with the smell of all kinds of food.
Mu Wenhao watched with disdain as Gu Feng peeled the eggs for Ye Ning, then called to the conductor who was selling food not far away.
"I want all the snacks you have here!"
Once again, he showed his wealthy side.
This was the first time for the conductor to meet such a generous passenger. After a while, the small table was piled full of food, and even the food that Gu Feng put on it first was almost squeezed out.
Mu Wenhao picked up a bag of dried meat that looked good, opened it, and handed it to Ye Ning.
"These are bought for you, try them quickly."
The corners of Ye Ning's mouth twitched slightly.
But before she could speak, Gu Feng had already taken the lead.
"Snacks are not nutritious, so just eat eggs and meat."
He held up the freshly peeled eggs and gestured to Ye Ning again.
Mu Wenhao was not to be outdone, "You should change your taste occasionally and eat my food, and there are so many here."
Ye Ning looked at Mu Wenhao and Gu Feng. No matter which side he chose now, it was wrong.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat."
Simply reject them all.
Gu Feng frowned. How could they not be hungry after they came out early? It was all because of Mu Wenhao's interference.
Mu Wenhao also stared at Gu Feng with great dissatisfaction. Girls like snacks the most.
It was all because of his relationship that Ye Ning refused.
The two of them just stared at each other, neither of them willing to admit defeat first.
