What Should I Do if My Best Friend Is a Green Tea? [Transmigrated Into a Book]

Zhou Qingyu didn't know how long she had been asleep.

She felt like she had had a very long dream. In the dream, she couldn't control herself and often did some incredible things. But she couldn't change anything. Sometimes she was the one experiencing the events, and sometimes she was just a bystander. Her soul seemed to be detached, and she calmly watched her own every move.

She said, "Wake up! Look at the stupid things you're doing! You may not feel ashamed, but I do!"

However, that out - of - control self was still indulged.

It seemed that someone had wrapped her world in a layer of sugar. As long as she did those things, she could feel a hundred percent sweetness. And those embarrassing things were melted away in that sweetness.

Zhou Qingyu thought that this was probably what was meant by "enduring hardship with a sweet heart".

Just like she couldn't understand before why some people would be addicted to a love that had no future. They were so humble, and the love was so bitter that it was astringent. Even onlookers would feel heart - wrenching for them.

But for the people experiencing it, even if he treated her badly, as long as he was willing to look at her, that was sweetness.

"Will you love him as much as I do?" Another self asked Zhou Qingyu. Zhou Qingyu squatted down and looked at the girl who looked exactly like herself. How beautiful she was! No matter when she was angry, sad, or cold, she was always stunningly beautiful. Zhou Qingyu stroked her face and said, "I won't."

She was so sad and cried, "Why can't you be the same as me? I really like Brother Yubai so much!"

Zhou Qingyu sighed and said, "Because I like you more than him!" When they arrived at Hai City Airport, Zhou Qingyu opened her eyes. She felt a tear slide down from the corner of her eye. That tear accidentally flowed into her mouth. Although it was a salty and bitter liquid, Zhou Qingyu tasted sweetness.

The sweetest candy in the world was nothing compared to it. Her body felt unprecedentedly relaxed, as if the shackles had been removed.

Without knocking, the door of the room was pushed open, and Pei Yubai walked in. "Qingyu, we've arrived in Hai City! My car is parked outside. Pack up and let's go to the Pei family's now!"

Pei Yubai couldn't wait to get 3% of the shares of the Pei Group. Only when that large amount of money was in his own pocket did it feel real. Zhou Qingyu had nothing to pack. The handsome male flight attendant helped her carry the suitcase. When she walked out of the plane, the sky was pitch - black. The night sky far from the city center was like a canvas painted with black paint, not even a satellite in sight.

"It's very late," Zhou Qingyu said.

Pei Yubai replied, "Yes, so we have to hurry!"

"I'm tired. Let's talk about going to the Pei family's tomorrow," Zhou Qingyu said.

Pei Yubai's face suddenly changed. "Qingyu, didn't we agree before? You disappointed Grandpa last time. Are you going to disappoint him again this time? You're such a sensible person. Why can't you understand?"

"Sensible?"

Zhou Qingyu looked at Pei Yubai and sneered. "Pei Yubai, do you have some misunderstanding about me? When have I ever been sensible?"

Zhou Qingyu stretched and said, "Go by yourself if you want. I want to go home." Pei Yubai's face became even more embarrassing. He had already sent a message to Pei's father, saying that Zhou Qingyu would go back to the Pei family with him later to apologize to Grandpa and that the Zhou and Pei families would renew the engagement.

The Pei family already knew about this and had prepared a dinner waiting for Zhou Qingyu. Now she actually said she wasn't going?

Zhou Qingyu ignored him and looked around. "Xixi? Where did you go?" "Here, here!"

Yan Xi was squeezing forward with a computer bag in her arms. The boarding ladder of the private plane could only allow two people to walk side by side, so Yan Xi was left behind for a moment.

Zhou Qingyu glanced at Pei Yubai out of the corner of her eye. "Move aside. You're blocking Xixi."

Pei Yubai's face got even worse.

Yan Xi successfully got close to Zhou Qingyu. Zhou Qingyu wrapped her arm around Yan Xi's and asked, "Are you hungry? I'm hungry, but I haven't decided what to eat." Yan Xi licked her lips and said, "I'm also hungry. I want to eat crab - powder dumplings!" "The one near your school?"

"Yes. That one is authentic. It's a twenty - year - old time - honored brand!" Zhou Qingyu thought for a while. She rarely ate such street - food that was considered low - class, but she had eaten it a few times when she went to visit Yan Xi during holidays.

"The taste is good, but isn't your school in the opposite direction of the old mansion?" "Yes," Yan Xi replied disappointedly.

Zhou Qingyu looked behind and asked, "Pei Yubai, did you drive here?" Pei Yubai was instantly overjoyed. Asking if he drove, did this mean she was going back to the Pei family with him?

"Of course!"

"Great. I want to eat crab - powder dumplings from the gate of Hai University. Go and buy me two baskets. Hurry up. This stuff doesn't taste good when it gets cold."

Pei Yubai twitched the corner of his mouth. He, the second young master of the Pei family, was going to run errands to buy crab - powder dumplings? Was he her boyfriend or a delivery guy?

But he knew that they hadn't officially gotten back together yet, so he had to be patient. "Can't this be handled by my assistant?"

Zhou Qingyu looked deeply at Pei Yubai and said, "Of course, it has to be bought back personally to show sincerity. What, are you only willing to talk about getting back together with me, and not even willing to do such a small thing for me?"

Pei Yubai was at a loss for words and couldn't refute.

Considering that they were at a crucial moment and he couldn't let it all go to waste, after a moment, Pei Yubai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go!" The night was as black as ink. Pei Yubai left first. Yan Xi watched him get into the Ferrari. The roar of the sports car echoed through the night sky, and the sound gradually faded away. Only when the Ferrari was out of sight did Yan Xi heave a sigh of relief and leisurely look at Zhou Qingyu.

"I just remembered one thing. The area near the school gate has been renovated recently. All the street vendors are gone, and the boss who made the crab - powder dumplings has also closed his shop!" Zhou Qingyu didn't think of this. She usually filmed in Heng City and didn't often go to Hai University.

But she didn't show any sign of regret. Her tone was very matter - of - fact. "What does that have to do with me? That's Pei Yubai's problem. I just want to eat! In Miss Zhou's world, there's no such thing as the food she wants but can't get. It doesn't exist!"

The Lu family's plane was also parked at Hai City Airport and had arrived a few minutes earlier than the Zhou family's plane.

After leaving the private airport, Lu Beiyu and Ye Luoyi walked in front, while Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi walked behind. The two groups walked towards the terminal one after the other. It was already eight o'clock at night, but there were still many people in the terminal. There were passengers taking international flights coming and going, and there was also a large group of fans holding light boards and glow sticks waiting at the airport entrance.

Ye Luoyi was a first - tier actress. There had been many fans seeing her off at the airport on previous occasions. As for the other artists in the program group, they didn't have as much popularity as her, and there weren't many fans to pick them up.

Ye Luoyi instinctively thought that the fans in front were there for her. Seeing them waving the flower bouquets and glow sticks hard, the dissatisfaction she had accumulated for more than a week finally subsided a little, and she sincerely showed a faint smile.

She took out a powder puff and lipstick to touch up her makeup.

As she got closer to the fan group, Ye Luoyi's smile became even brighter. She wanted to show her best side to the fans.

She stepped forward and was about to greet her fans when she saw the fans in the front row holding up light boards. Their eyes skipped over her, and they screamed like crazy.

"Ah! Zhou Qingyu! I love you! Over here!" "Honey, you're so beautiful today too!"

"Look here, honey! Look here!"

"Miss, can you give me an autograph? Wuwu, I really love you so much!"

Ye Luoyi's smile froze.

Her assistant quickly explained, "Sister Yiyi, our online reputation has been bad recently. And since we came back with Zhou Qingyu and the others, Director Sun said that being too high - profile would make marketing accounts dig out our black history, so he asked the fan club to cancel this airport pick - up... Sister Yiyi, don't be sad!"

Ye Luoyi clenched her fists.

She understood that Sun Qi was right.

Before coming to Han City, Pei Yubai's apology and confession had already been well - known to the public. Although the second apology in Han City today wasn't live - streamed, there were the sky - filling fireworks and a special confession style. There were quite a few people sharing those photos online. Sun Qi was right to say they should keep a low profile.

However, learning that those people were actually Zhou Qingyu's fans, Ye Luoyi still felt extremely unwilling. She couldn't show it in public, but she dug her nails into her palm so hard that it was bleeding.

Zhou Qingyu was surrounded by fans, giving them autographs one by one. She was a regular at the airport, but it was the first time she had so many fans picking her up. Zhou Qingyu smiled charmingly. When she saw Ye Luoyi turn around and leave, she put away her pen. "That's it. Wu Liao actually found so many professional fans this time. Signing autographs has worn me out. You just need to put on a show. You can still get the final payment with my airport photos."

The fans looked at each other in surprise.

The leading fan - photographer understood and said with a mix of amusement and helplessness, "Miss! We're real fans! Not professional fake fans!"

"Ah?" Zhou Qingyu was stunned. "Aren't you hired by Wu Liao?" Previously, Zhou Qingyu had a bad reputation and few fans. She was worried that it would be too deserted at the airport when she went there, with not even a single fan to see her off, so she asked Wu Liao to hire quite a few professional fans.

And these people in front of her... were actually real?

Zhou Qingyu was a bit confused, holding the pen in mid - air.

Her hand was sore, and she didn't want to sign anymore.

But these fans in front of her were young, and their clothes looked ordinary, not like they were very rich. They came all the way to this far - away place to support her at night, just wanting an autographed photo. If she didn't even give them that... Zhou Qingyu softened her heart. She shook her sore hand. "It's so late. How are you going home? Won't your parents be worried?"

"It doesn't matter!" The leading fan - photographer said excitedly. "We'll take the subway! The transportation in Hai City is very well - developed. It's no problem to go back!"

"Have you had dinner?"

"We'll go have it later! There are plenty of food options at the airport!"

Zhou Qingyu frowned. "What's so good about the food at the airport?" She took out her phone and made a call. Two minutes later, Zhou Qingyu came back to the fans. "There's a Japanese restaurant near the airport, owned by the Zhou family. It's still open. Go there and show the boss my autographed photo. It'll be free. After the meal, tell the boss your home addresses, and she'll arrange a car to take you home." The fans' eyes widened. They had heard of that restaurant. They had passed by it on their way to the airport and had chattered about it. That Japanese restaurant was a buffet, costing 599 yuan per person. It was so expensive!

The young lady was going to treat them to dinner and send them home? Wuwu, the young lady was so kind!

After settling the fans, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi took a taxi back to the Zhou Mansion. It was already ten o'clock at night. They could have been home at nine, but Zhou Qingyu thought that she and Yan Xi hadn't eaten either, so she went to have Japanese food with the fans and took quite a few photos.

By the time they got back, they were already very full.

According to Mr. Zhou's schedule, most of the rooms in the old mansion would have been dark at this time, and only a few garden lights would be left on in the garden.

But tonight, the Zhou Mansion was brightly lit.

Zhou Qingyu was very puzzled. It wasn't any special day. Why wasn't the old man sleeping?

Yan Xi also didn't understand and just followed Zhou Qingyu obediently.

In the hall, Mr. Zhou was sitting on a grand - master chair, with the first episode of the variety show "Travel" being projected on the screen in front of him. Mr. Zhou was yawning while watching. Next to him, Zhou Yanci was reading a book. Every time Mr. Zhou saw a strange bullet - screen, he would pull Zhou Yanci and ask, "These male viewers are so improper! My daughter isn't even married yet, and they're calling her 'wife'!"

"...... Maybe they're female fans."

"Then why are they calling her 'daughter'? Do they think I'm dead?"

"...... They're probably mother - fans."

"What does 'Sister slays me' mean? Do they want to commit suicide?"

"...... It's just an expression of love."

Mr. Zhou frowned tightly. "The entertainment industry is so strange..."

When Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi came back, they saw Mr. Zhou pulling Zhou Yanci and discussing.

"Awsl? Does it mean 'Love me, Soviet Union'? The Soviet Union doesn't even exist anymore!" Zhou Yanci: "… I think it should mean 'Ah, I'm dying'." Mr. Zhou was puzzled. "Why do these young people curse themselves like this?" Zhou Qingyu tugged at Yan Xi's sleeve. "What are they doing? They're like a weird uncle and a weird old man!"

Yan Xi scratched the back of his head. "I don't know either..." Hearing their voices, Mr. Zhou and Zhou Yanci looked up. Mr. Zhou's eyes instantly lit up, showing the joy of a father seeing his daughter return. Zhou Yanci's eyes also brightened briefly, then became cold and distant again, like covered with a layer of frost. Mr. Zhou scolded in tone but couldn't hide his smile on his face. "You're back? You arrived at the airport early. Why did you come back so late?"

"We had dinner outside~"

Zhou Qingyu automatically ignored Zhou Yanci and walked up to Mr. Zhou. Seeing the projection in front of him, Zhou Qingyu was surprised. "Dad, you're watching my variety show!" Mr. Zhou averted his eyes. "Recently, many friends have asked me for your autograph and said that you performed well in the variety show, so I'm taking a look."

Zhou Qingyu smiled. "Just admit that you're concerned about me!"

Then, she glanced at Zhou Yanci. "You're watching it too?" Zhou Yanci fiddled with the "A Brief History of Time" in his hand. "I'm reading a book." Mr. Zhou scoffed. "Do you believe him? He was on page thirteen when he sat next to me. He's still on page thirteen after so long!"

Zhou Yanci...

"Uncle, on this trip, Qingqing prepared a gift for you!" Yan Xi spoke up in time to relieve Zhou Yanci's embarrassment.

The matter of the gift also diverted Mr. Zhou's attention. He trotted over, eager to see what gift Zhou Qingyu had bought for him.

Zhou Qingyu had taken three suitcases when she left and came back with four. The fourth one was full of various souvenirs.

"Dad, this is for you, a taiji fan. Don't you always play chess in the yard? This is good for fanning the wind!"

The taiji fan wasn't expensive, but for Mr. Zhou, it was Zhou Qingyu's thoughtfulness. He didn't show it on his face, but the corners of his mouth lifted again.

Zhou Qingyu rummaged through the suitcase. "This is a Korean porcelain vase. Uncle Yu, don't you like flower - arranging? This is for you! This handkerchief is for Aunt Zhang, and this small framed painting is for Chef Xu..."

Zhou Qingyu prepared gifts for everyone in the old mansion.

Yan Xi did the same. After staying in the old mansion for so many days and planning to stay for a few more days until the start of school, she also prepared gifts for everyone. Everyone was overjoyed. Receiving gifts always brought a certain amount of happiness. Only Zhou Yanci came empty - handed.

Zhou Yanci wasn't surprised. Given his relationship with Zhou Qingyu, it would be strange if she gave him a gift.

He just glanced at Yan Xi and quickly averted his gaze when Yan Xi looked at him.

Yan Xi knew that Zhou Qingyu didn't prepare a gift for Zhou Yanci. There were cufflinks she had bought earlier in her pocket. She originally wanted to take them out, but Zhou Yanci hadn't even looked at her tonight. Obviously, he was still angry about what happened on Yunbai Mountain. Yan Xi felt it wasn't appropriate. The system said, "Yes, host. I can also feel that big brother's mood is extremely low!" "I can hardly breathe around him!"

"Wait until there's no one around," Yan Xi thought.

The main reason was that Zhou Qingyu didn't prepare a gift for Zhou Yanci. If she took out the gift now, it would seem strange, and maybe Zhou Yanci would misunderstand again!

After the gift - giving session ended, everyone was playing with the gifts they received, and no one noticed Zhou Yanci.

Zhou's Father said, "It's getting late. Go to bed!"

Yan Xi quickly took out the document she had prepared earlier. "Wait, there's still one more thing!"

Everyone looked at Yan Xi.

Yan Xi said, "Recently, Xingyao has been making good profits. I discussed with Director Wu and decided to take out a portion for charity. It can reduce taxes and build a good corporate image." "Previously, Qingyu's several charity activities were all about donating money to mountainous areas. This time, we'll change it to sponsoring a medical laboratory so that they can conduct better research." Zhou's Father nodded approvingly. "For an entertainment company like Xingyao, reputation is very important. You've done a good job."

Zhou Yanci also nodded. In his opinion, Yan Xi's actions were reasonable. A positive corporate image was more beneficial than harmful to the company. The Zhou Group also spent a lot on charity every year.

"Yeah!" Yan Xi said obediently. "Since we're sponsoring a medical laboratory this time and they have a project with a hospital, they gave us a lot of medical check - up packages. I've arranged one for each artist and staff member of Xingyao, but there are still some left. How about the people in the old mansion go too?"

Hearing this, the servants in the old mansion were very happy. A medical check - up in a big - city hospital cost a lot of money. Of course, they were willing to do it for free.

Zhou Qingyu asked, "Do I have to go too?"

Yan Xi pleaded cutely, "Of course. Everyone from Xingyao is going. Please cooperate with me!"

Zhou Qingyu shrugged. "Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do tomorrow." She conveniently ignored the fact that she had promised Pei Yubai to consider going to the Pei family tomorrow. Zhou's Father nodded. "Then go together."

He was getting old, and his medical check - ups had changed from once a year to once every six months. Only Zhou Yanci wasn't interested. "I have to go to the Ministry of Housing and Urban - Rural Development to discuss the first - phase plan of Zijinyuan tomorrow, so I won't go."

Zhou's Father asked, "Is the design plan confirmed?"

Zhou ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‍Yanci replied, "Yes."

Zhou's Father nodded. "Then do a good job on this project and take it seriously." Everyone was chatting about tomorrow's medical check - up and the travel gifts. Zhou Yanci felt out of place in this environment and simply turned around and walked towards his room. The system beside Yan Xi was going crazy: [Host! What should we do! Although Mr. Zhou and Miss Zhou are also part of the plan, our main target is big brother!] [If he doesn't go, our medical check - up plan will be ruined!]

Zhou Yanci had already left the hall, and Yan Xi quickly chased after him.

"Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Yanci stopped.

He turned around and looked at Yan Xi.

Yan Xi trotted up to him. "The medical check - up is for your own health. You've earned so much money but don't take good care of yourself. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?" Zhou Yanci sneered. "You really have an overflowing heart of love. Are you so concerned about my health?"

Yan Xi awkwardly touched the tip of her nose. "So, will you go tomorrow?" Zhou Yanci said coldly, "No time."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yan Xi frowned, her eyes full of worry.

The system comforted her: [Host, I just checked. Big brother hasn't been staying up late recently, and his daily routine is quite healthy. He has a medical check - up once a year, and he had one at the beginning of this year. There shouldn't be any problems, right?]

Yan Xi sighed. "Now that Qingyu has gotten out of the plot's control, under normal circumstances, Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai won't be able to achieve the goal of slapping the face of the villainous female supporting character... I'm just afraid of other variables!"

Meanwhile, Pei Yubai came to the Zhou residence.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his back. He left his suit jacket in the car and carried two drawers of crab - powder steamed buns to the front gate of the Zhou residence.

The security guard stopped him without hesitation.

Pei Yubai held up the take - out bag in his hand. "These are what Qingyu wants to eat. I specially bought them for her!"

The security guard hadn't received the news that Zhou Qingyu didn't want Pei Yubai to come, so he called the internal line.

Soon, Zhou Qingyu's lazy voice came from the receiver. "Hello -"

"Qingyu! It's Yubai!"

Pei Yubai quickly said, "The crab - powder steamed buns you asked me to buy, I've got them!" Zhou Qingyu raised the end of her voice. "Is it from the one at the gate of Hai University?" Pei Yubai's Adam's apple rolled, and a look of unease flashed across his eyes. "Of course! I queued for a long time to buy them!"

Zhou Qingyu sneered. "It's so late. I've already had dinner. You can eat them yourself."

The smile on Pei Yubai's face froze.

Zhou Qingyu couldn't see his expression through the phone line, but the security guard saw the veins on his forehead, which were quite scary.

After a while, Pei Yubai calmed down and continued to persuade Zhou Qingyu in a gentle voice. "If you don't want to eat them, then I'll pick you up tomorrow. Let's go and visit grandpa together!"

"No way!" Zhou Qingyu said cheerfully. "Tomorrow, I'm going for a medical check - up with Xixi!"

Pei Yubai tightly squeezed the microphone, and his knuckles turned white.

The security guard was even afraid that he would crush the microphone with one strong squeeze. Pei Yubai almost gritted his teeth. "Then I'll come to pick you up the day after tomorrow." "We'll see then," Zhou Qingyu didn't give a definite answer. Pei Yubai was reluctant to give up. Everything was fine when they were in Han City today. Why did Zhou Qingyu go back on her word as soon as she returned to Hai City?

It must be that Yan Xi had said something to Zhou Qingyu, which made her change her attitude! Pei Yubai suppressed his anger towards Yan Xi and continued to coax Zhou Qingyu. "Qingyu, since you can't accompany me to see grandpa, I'll have to apologize to him first. But the resources we agreed on in Han City can't be postponed any longer... After all, for every day's delay, Tianhui will suffer losses. It doesn't matter if you're busy. Qiao Yan also understands these things. Can I go to see her tomorrow?"

Zhou Qingyu was sitting in the bathtub, waiting for the liquid full of flower petals and foam to cover her thighs.

She smiled. Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze in March but also carried the frost and snow of December.

"Pei Yubai, we haven't reconciled yet, and you're already eyeing my family's resources? Do you like me or those resources?"
