After hearing Orange Bear's explanation, Liu Ergou nodded, indicating that he understood.

Without dilly-dallying, Orange Bear immediately set up her phone in front of Liu Ergou and then quickly ran behind him, striking an extremely ambiguous pose.

Just as the phone was about to snap the photo, Liu Ergou, who was still sitting there, suddenly realized what was happening.

With a quick movement, he dodged out of the camera's range.

This sudden action left Orange Bear somewhat baffled.

"Huh? Er Gou, why did you move?"

"Didn't we agree? We were going to take some photos to clarify this whole situation!"

Hearing Orange Bear's words, Liu Ergou rolled his eyes dramatically.

He then said irritably, "Pah! I almost fell for your trick! If I hadn't reacted quickly, this whole thing would have spiraled out of control!"

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Orange Bear looked shocked.

"Ah? How would it have spiraled out of control?"

Then, a look of realization dawned on her face.

"I get it now! You don't want to dispel the rumors. You actually want to be my boyfriend!"

"If that's the case, I guess I could accept it!" she said, looking at Liu Ergou with a shy expression.

Seeing her expression, Liu Ergou let out a cold laugh.

"In your dreams!"

"You want me to be your boyfriend? Didn't I tell you I already have a girlfriend?"

"Besides, I'm not interested in you!"

"The reason I won't take a photo is because I just realized something. Who would actually believe we *aren't* a couple if we take pictures in a room like this?"

"Taking pictures in this room would only further solidify our 'relationship'!"

"At that point, I could have mouths all over my body and still wouldn't be able to explain things!"

With that, Liu Ergou stood up without hesitation, ready to leave the couple's restaurant.

Seeing him about to leave, Orange Bear hurriedly got up and blocked his path.

A pleading look appeared on her face.

"Er Gou, you... don't go!"

"I... I just wanted... to take a few photos with you! It's definitely not what you're thinking!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou scoffed disdainfully.

This Orange Bear must take me for a three-year-old. Only a fool would believe what she's saying. If she actually took those photos and posted them online, the situation would become impossible to explain. It would create a problem out of nothing!

"Give it a rest, Orange Bear. Cut the pathetic little tricks; don't think I don't know what you're planning," he said. "Just watch yourself. I'm done talking. Maybe we'll see each other again."

After speaking, Liu Ergou pushed her aside and walked towards the exit.

When Orange Bear saw Liu Ergou's determination to leave, a wave of disappointment washed over her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she bit her lip, reached out, and hugged Liu Ergou from behind.

Then she said in a pitiful voice, "Er Gou, I really don't have any other intentions!"

"Please, just take a photo with me!"

"As long as you agree to take a photo with me, I'll do anything you say."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou suddenly asked a question.

"What if I asked you to promote Snow Skin Cream for me for free? Would that be okay?"

Liu Ergou had assumed Orange Bear would most likely reject his condition.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he stated his condition, she nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes, anything!"

"Even if you ask me to..."

Before she could finish, Liu Ergou interrupted her.

"Stop. No need to say the rest! I don't want to hear it!"

"But remember, you said it yourself. You're going to promote my product for free!"

Hearing this, Orange Bear understood that Liu Ergou had agreed to take pictures with her.

She immediately broke into a happy smile.

She then dragged Liu Ergou back to his seat and struck another intimate pose with him, ready to take the photo.

But Liu Ergou didn't go along with her wishes, instead keeping some distance as he reluctantly posed for a few sets of photos.

As the photo session ended, the servers began to bring out the food.

All the dishes were Western-style, and Liu Ergou had to admit he didn't recognize a single one.

The taste was just so-so.

However, he found he absolutely couldn't stomach one of the dishes called 'escargot'.

He just couldn't imagine what the person who invented this dish was thinking.

Baked snails... seriously? Unbelievable.

So, Liu Ergou only picked at his food.

Orange Bear, on the other hand, was clearly enjoying her meal.

She also kept putting food on Liu Ergou's plate and even opened a bottle of red wine.

They had a little to drink.

Soon, the meal was over.

Just when Liu Ergou thought he was finally free, something completely unexpected happened.

Orange Bear had gotten drunk!

Drunk, her face flushed, Orange Bear kept trying to snuggle into Liu Ergou's arms.

Liu Ergou initially tried to refuse.

But she was persistent. Every time Liu Ergou pushed her away, she would burrow right back into his arms.

After this repeated several times, Liu Ergou couldn't take it anymore and simply let her settle into his embrace.

Looking at Orange Bear in his arms, Liu Ergou couldn't help but steal a few extra glances.

Orange Bear noticed him sneaking peeks at her.

So, she reached out her slender arms and wrapped them around Liu Ergou's neck.

She then breathed a puff of alcohol-scented air in his face.

The scent wasn't unpleasant; in fact, it carried a faint, sweet fragrance.

Then, Orange Bear spoke, "Er Gou, I really don't understand why you're so against taking photos with me!"

"I'm just as pretty as your girlfriend, and I'm an internet celebrity!"

"I say you should just leave your girlfriend and be with me instead. What do you think, interested?"

Listening to Orange Bear brazenly trying to poach him, a helpless Liu Ergou said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. You're drunk!"

"I'll take you home."

Saying this, Liu Ergou held Orange Bear and prepared to leave.

However, the next second, Orange Bear, who had been lying quietly in his arms, suddenly burst into action.

She pinned the unprepared Liu Ergou to the ground, then swiftly flipped over to straddle him.

Looking down at Liu Ergou beneath her, Orange Bear chuckled, then lowered her head to kiss him.

It all happened so fast that Liu Ergou didn't even have time to react.
