Chapter 46：Bragging

Although Lai Yayan showed no intention of reconciliation, Li Weijie immediately accepted the suggestion of a girl named Piaopiao because he didn't want to spend the next period of time sitting with an 'angry animal.'

"Alright, let's just let bygones be bygones. Hehe, even arguments can be a form of fate. Let's just consider ourselves travel companions. My name is Li Weijie, nice to meet you, miss... I can tell you're not a petty person." Li Weijie took the initiative to introduce himself and extended his hand, displaying both generosity and taking a jab at Lai Yayan.

Lai Yayan glared at him with anger as she listened to his words and watched him reach out his hand towards her. The meaning was clear, if she didn't shake his hand and make amends, it would mean that she was petty.

This made her furious, and what made her even more angry was the slight sense of provocation hidden behind Li Weijie's friendly smile. In her heart, she thought in anger, this guy clearly wants to see me lose face! How despicable!

Piaopiao understood Lai Yayan's personality and knew she wasn't going to calm down easily. She continued to play the peacemaker and said on behalf of Lai Yayan, "Hehe, Yayan is certainly not a petty person. Hello, she is Lai Yayan and I am Piaopiao."

Piaopiao shook Li Weijie's hand as she spoke, and subtly squeezed his hand a little harder, implying something.

Li Weijie had intended to stimulate Lai Yayan with this gesture, not expecting her to shake his hand. He was surprised by Piaopiao's proactive handshake and the fact that she mentioned both their names, catching him off guard. When her fair and slender jade-like hand gently held his, it felt delicate, smooth, and boneless.

Piaopiao only shook his hand as a formality, and Li Weijie understood the hidden meaning behind it. It meant that he shouldn't argue with Lai Yayan anymore.

"Although we will go our separate ways after getting off the plane, I'm really glad to meet you both." Li Weijie exchanged pleasantries, withdrew his hand, and didn't say anything that would embarrass Lai Yayan further.

But Lai Yayan didn't want to let it go. She had been passive for a while, which already made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Others may just brush you off, but you're shameless enough to take advantage of it! Who's happy to meet you?"

Li Weijie smiled lightly and didn't take offense. He picked up a magazine and started reading.

His attempt to avoid engagement didn't make Lai Yayan feel victorious or relieved. On the contrary, seeing him acting aloof, as if he couldn't be bothered to argue, made her even angrier!

Li Weijie wasn't actually interested in the magazine; he just wanted to avoid being disturbed by the beautiful but difficult girl next to him. So, he had been staring at the magazine cover.

Lai Yayan couldn't continue the argument by herself, and Piaopiao continued to persuade her. She couldn't start a fight with Li Weijie openly, so she had to give up and turned her head, quietly blaming Piaopiao for siding with Li Weijie. Meanwhile, Piaopiao smiled gently and tried to console her.

After a while, still aware of any movement from the "enemy," Lai Yayan saw that Li Weijie had been staring at the magazine cover and didn't know what he was thinking. Unable to hold back, she sneered, "Huh! Some perverts are perverts. They drool over celebrities on magazine covers!"

Li Weijie, who had been thinking about finding a decent hotel in H City to stay in, was startled by Lai Yayan's words. He instinctively swallowed his saliva and touched his chin. He realized there was no exaggerated drooling, which made him a little annoyed. "Are you policing me for looking at a celebrity on a magazine cover?"

Lai Yayan's words and Li Weijie's reaction couldn't help but make Piaopiao chuckle softly. She didn't have any ill intentions or mockery, but when a girl sees such rare scenes, it's hard for her to control her laughter.

Seeing that he seemed to have genuinely been affected by her exaggerated words, Lai Yayan finally let out a sigh of relief. She gloated and shifted the topic back, saying, "Who's policing you? Couldn't help yourself from covering your mouth because there was no drooling? Still not admitting that you're a pervert?"

During this short break, Li Weijie had regained his composure. He thought for a moment and decided to bluff her with his professional knowledge.

"Hmph, I was examining her style with a professional eye. It's your wicked thoughts," Li Weijie said with a cunning smile. "This is a photo of the famous actress Chu Ling'er..."

"Don't you say? Who doesn't know that this is Chu Ling'er? Stop bragging about your professional eye!" Lai Yayan interrupted impolitely.

"Miss, please don't get impatient. Hehe, I just wanted to educate you," Li Weijie grinned mischievously. "Chu Ling'er has a pure and lovely image, which is exactly what some 'tomboys' lack. In the spirit of humanity, I wanted to remind you..."

"You—!" The misunderstanding that she was a masculine girl had already made her angry enough. Now, knowing that she was a girl and being called a tomboy, how could Lai Yayan not be furious?

Seeing her flushed face and the feeling that she might pounce on him and tear him apart, Li Weijie quickly said with a smile, "My words are purely fictional. If there are any similarities, it's purely coincidental. Please don't take it personally!"

Following that, Li Weijie started explaining, "Look at this style, the photographer clearly intended to capture a rarely seen sexy side of Chu Ling'er, but obviously, they failed."

"Where did they fail? Isn't it very sexy? Didn't someone start drooling at the sight?" Lai Yayan insisted on arguing and said disdainfully.

Piaopiao took a look and added, "This is just a close-up shot, how can it be meant to emphasize sexiness?"

"They did want to emphasize sexiness, but they failed. It's not the photographer's fault, but the overall failure of styling, makeup, and hairstyling. This style, besides giving a sense of heavy makeup, only adds elegance. Although it's different from Chu Ling'er's usual style, it dazzles people, but it didn't achieve their intended effect."

Seeing him speak with confidence, both girls listened seriously.

Li Weijie saw their engagement and secretly laughed, ready to make a joke.

"Hmmm, you may not believe it when I tell you, but I'm quite familiar with Chu Ling'er. The team behind this look is Japanese, but if I were to do it, it would definitely be much better. The combination of styling and face could achieve a wild and sexy beauty. Next time, I'll discuss it with her, maybe we can show you a different Chu Ling'er."

Lai Yayan and Piaopiao stared at each other for a moment and said in unison, "Bragging!"

Li Weijie raised an eyebrow and secretly laughed: Although I may help celebrities with hairstyling and styling in the future, for now... Well, it's just bragging!
