lu zhen did not intend to participate in this commotion. if there were few people, she might stay on set. there were more people today, so she should go to the hotel and order takeout.

“i’ll order takeout,” lu zhen said.

“i know a small restaurant nearby. it tastes pretty good. do you want to try it?” xi de asked sincerely.

lu zhen was stunned and hesitated.

“don’t worry, i know the boss. you won’t be photographed. i know you have a boyfriend and don’t want to cause a scandal.” xi de smiled and explained in a

joking tone. the doubts in lu zhen’s heart instantly dissipated.

hearing xi de say that she had a boyfriend, lu zhen felt a little strange. now everyone probably knew that she had a boyfriend, when would this misunderstanding be cleared up?

“alright, let’s go together. however, i can’t eat too much tonight. when the time comes, teacher xi, don’t say that i’m not giving you face.” lu zhen agreed to xi de’s invitation.

as the cheongsam she was wearing was too eye-catching, lu zhen returned to the hotel and changed into casual sportswear. she took off her makeup and put on sneakers. she took out a pair of black-framed lenses from her bag and put them on.

xi de was waiting outside the hotel. when he saw lu zhen coming out of the hotel, he rolled down the window. the girl who walked over from afar had a clean face. she was fair and smooth, looking like a female student who had just entered university. she was youthful and energetic.

lu zhen sat in the front passenger seat and looked at xi de curiously. “is this your car?

“of course not. i have a friend in the city. he lent me this car. it’s more convenient to have a car,” xi de explained and started the car.

“are you cold? do you want to close the window?” xi de asked considerately as the evening breeze crept into the car and ruffled lu zhen’s hair.

“i’m not cold. it’s quite comfortable in the evening breeze. you can close the

window it you’re not used to it.”

“it’s just as well. i quite like to open the window when i’m driving.”

after saying this, the two of them did not have much to talk about for a while.

fortunately, the place to eat was not far. they arrived in less than ten minutes.

behind the parking area was a farmhouse that occupied a large area. there was a fence around a row of white houses, and all kinds of vegetables were planted inside the fence. not far away, there was a chicken coop.

behind the farmhouse was a large field of rapeseed flowers. it looked like a golden sea, with golden waves when the wind blew.

“i didn’t expect there to be a farmhouse here. the scenery here is also very good. it’s indeed very different from the big city.” lu zhen took a deep breath and relaxed.

“yes, the food here is also very good. i’ll try it later.”

the two of them walked into the farmhouse. she did not know if xi de had already made an appointment or if it was because he was an acquaintance of the boss. the two of them did not line up and went straight into a simple room.

not long after, the food was served. since there were only two of them, xi de only ordered five dishes. there was meat, vegetables, soup, and fruit salad.

the two of them chatted as they ate. lu zhen asked curiously, “how do you know the boss?”

at the mention of this topic, xi de’s face broke into an embarrassed smile.

“that time, my friend brought me here for a meal, but the food was terrible. we were all dissatisfied, but we couldn’t say anything. in the end, i really couldn’t help but write a word on the table with the unfinished food: bad.”

lu zhen widened her eyes and looked at xi de. did xi de actually do such a thing? it really did not match his calm appearance.

lu zhen was amused and asked, “then what?”

“after paying the bill, we left in a hurry. however, halfway through, the boss called. ”

“looking for trouble?” lu zhen asked curiously.

“no, the boss said that the chef is one of his relatives. his cooking is terrible. he couldn’t stand it for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to chase him away. he’s very grateful that we mocked that person for him. he also said that his relative is leaving next month. when the time comes, he will hire a new chef and let us come again. he will give us a 40% discount.”

xi de smiled sheepishly. “then, the next month, we went again. this time, the food was indeed much better. we got to know the boss. the boss is quite a nice person. after knowing that i’m an actor, he even watched all the television dramas i acted in.”

lu zhen sighed, “you’ve made a good friend, but i really didn’t expect you to be such a temperamental person.”

he actually dared to criticize that the food was bad with the unfinished food..
