After finishing the performance, Shen Shiqing met with Lu Jingchu.

The so-called "taking Shen Shiqing out for dinner" was actually just going to his house for dinner.

Of course, before going, the two changed into ordinary clothes, wore masks, and Shen Shiqing also wore black round-framed glasses and messed up his hair, looking like a shut-in.

Lu Jingchu was dressed in all black and also wore a mask. After seeing Shen Shiqing wearing black round-framed glasses, he also wore a pair, making them look more like a couple.

That's exactly what he thought, and that's his motivation.

However, he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, which made Shen Shiqing swallow hard.

"My dear Lu, if you keep this up, I won't be able to resist pouncing on you."

"Sure, you're welcome anytime." Shen Shiqing heard his low chuckle, which tickled her heart.

Okay!!! I'll pounce on him as soon as I get back!!!

Lu Jingchu found an electric scooter somewhere, put a helmet on Shen Shiqing, and the two headed towards the supermarket.

Shen Shiqing hugged him from behind, just like many ordinary young couples.

After work, I ride my electric scooter, enjoying the breeze, and stroll through the supermarket, buying the groceries I want to eat every day.

When Shen Shiqing arrived at the supermarket, he noticed that many people were wearing masks, as many had caught a cold due to the weather.

In this way, they seem less conspicuous while wearing masks, and they don't have to worry about being recognized.

"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

"Can you make whatever I want to eat?"

"Just say it, isn't it only natural for a boyfriend to cook for his girlfriend?" Lu Jingchu has been watching a lot of cooking videos lately and has been secretly practicing for quite a while.

The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.

Once you get used to it, you probably won't be able to escape it, right?

Anyway, he's seen his dad do this since he was a child.

"You have such a sweet tongue." Shen Shiqing thought for a moment, then joked, "Then I want to eat—steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck... braised sea cucumber, braised cabbage, fried pig's ear, stir-fried frog, and also osmanthus-flavored shark fin, steamed shark fin!!!"

Shen Shiqing was exhausted after finishing his speech in one breath, and he truly admired those crosstalk performers.

Their speaking speed and eloquence are both outstanding.

"Okay, let's eat." Lu Jingchu reached out and ruffled Shen Shiqing's hair. "Let's go buy groceries."

"OK."

The two walked to the vegetable section and picked up some of everything they could find.

However, Shen Shiqing preferred water spinach, so Lu Jingchu took a little more.

"Want a carrot? It'll protect your eyes; you're getting too close to the script when you're reading it."

"Hmm, want some chicken wings? I'll make you cola chicken wings when we get back."

"Spare ribs, bring some spare ribs too, I'll make you braised spare ribs."

"Take a few eggs too, I recently learned how to make steamed egg custard."

"Grandma Lin gave us the scallions, ginger, and garlic, so we don't need to buy any more since we already have them at home."

"Buy some beef, I recently learned a new way to cook it."

"Let's buy a fish and make a steamed fish."

"Let's buy some chicken feet too."

Lu Jingchu did all the talking, while Shen Shiqing stayed by his side, constantly saying "okay".

Shen Shiqing suddenly realized that she seemed to be dating a rather young, handsome, and stable father-type boyfriend.

However, it felt pretty good.

The shopping cart was piled high with fresh vegetables.

Lu Jingchu pulled Shen Shiqing to the snack area.

"Go get whatever you want to eat."

"I'm not a child anymore."

“Who said you aren’t?” Lu Jingchu smiled, pursing her lips. “Take whatever you want to eat.”

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Shen Shiqing was already craving some, and since Lu Jingchu had said so, he couldn't just not buy any, could he?

Shen Shiqing quickly swept through the shelves, taking a little of every kind of snack.

Since Sister Lin isn't here, I can eat whatever I want!

After paying, I left with two full shopping bags.

As the cashier watched them walk away, she felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she gave up trying to figure it out.

All the things I bought were hung on the hooks on the front of the electric scooter.

We drove leisurely along the road.

Lu Jingchu asked Shen Shiqing what he wanted to eat.

Shen Shiqing originally had no idea what to eat, but after Lu Jingchu asked her that question, she actually had something she wanted to eat.

For example, the cake Qin Shiyue gave her this morning tasted really good, and she's already craving it. Even if she doesn't eat it now, it would be nice as a dessert after a meal.

After telling Lu Jingchu, Lu Jingchu immediately knew which bakery Shen Shiqing was referring to and quickly arrived at the entrance.

Shen Shiqing pushed the door open and went in, but there were no staff members inside. He called out, but no one answered.

As Shen Shiqing turned to leave, a voice came from behind him.

Very familiar with it.

"Sorry, all bread and cakes are sold out today. Welcome to visit us again next time."

Shen Shiqing turned around.

"Full of?!"

Lin Man looked at him for a while, then glanced at Lu Jingchu, who had already taken off her mask...

Yes, we can confirm who it is now.

"Sister Shi." It was still a sweet voice. "Sister Shi, I almost didn't recognize you dressed like this."

"What are you doing here?" Shen Shiqing looked around, making sure she hadn't come to the wrong place. "Manman, don't tell me... this is your side job?"

Lin Man nodded.

"To be precise, it used to be my main job, but now working with Sister Shi has become a side job."

Shen Shiqing suddenly remembered that Lin Man had brought him a cake and milk tea that she had made herself.

"So, you're the owner of this shop??"

Before Lin Man could answer, another person came out and shouted something at her—

"Honey, aren't we sold out? Let's close up and go home..."

This person is not so easy to recognize.

"Teacher Du?"

"Teacher Shen..."

Lin Man wondered to himself, is it too late to put this guy back now?

Yes, it's obviously too late.

Because at that moment, this guy had already come to her side and taken her hand.

Never mind, let's leave it at that.

"So...you guys? Sister-in-law?!" Lin Man's ears turned bright red as soon as Shen Shiqing said that.

"Yes, my wife." Du Hewen put one arm around Lin Man, his face full of pride, as if he wanted to announce it to the whole world. He really was always thinking about showing off his love.

Shen Shiqing recalled what netizens had said about Du Hewen: "Don't love him too much."

But the object of her affections was her Manman, so all she could say was—well, it's good to love her, it's good to love her!

Lin Man glared angrily at Du Hewen.

"Just call me Shi-jie as usual," Lin Man said, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shen Shiqing understood her, and of course, he still called her Manman as before.

It was unexpected that Manman was actually the mysterious sister-in-law that Du Hewen mentioned everywhere he went.

And it's actually his own fans, which is really too surreal.

However, this actually explains everything.

Why is Manman so good at making bread? Why does Manman always smell sweet? Why did the two of them disappear together last week? Why did Du Hewen come to visit the set for no reason?

Now everything has an answer.

Full of her assistant, baker, Du Hewen's wife, and her fans.

Fate is truly a wonderful thing.

Du Hewen smiled broadly, seemingly happy that another person knew about his relationship with Lin Man.

However, he has now noticed someone else.

"No, what are you doing here?!" Du Hewen looked at Lu Jingchu with a surprised expression.

"Oh, I thought you couldn't see me."

"Yes, I only saw that now." Just now, all he could see was his wife.

He couldn't wait to assert his dominance, fearing that Shen Shiqing would try to take the person away from him.

Lu Jingchu put his arm around Shen Shiqing, his tone filled with undisguised ease and joy, his smile almost reaching the sun.

"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend."
