Ask him?

Mingmei's expression froze for a moment.

Is it because she's been too nice to Mu Chen lately? She's getting all excited over the slightest bit of kindness?

Mu Chen, who had only intended to make things a little more pleasant, immediately realized he might have gone too far when he saw the coldness in Ming Mei's eyes.

So, in just a split second, Mu Chen obediently stepped forward, a smile playing on his lips as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss. He leaned over and looked at the lunchbox in Mingmei's hand, exclaiming in surprise, "Wow, this lunchbox looks so exquisite and delicious!"

Mingmei: Ha! That's terrible acting.

With his acting skills, he's a shoo-in for this year's Star Trek Golden Broom Award.

Fool!

Mingmei couldn't bear to watch Mu Chen's heartfelt but unrealistic support. Didn't she see the disgusted looks on the faces of those around her? "Ugh! Over-the-top!"

But Mu Chen acted as if he knew nothing and continued, "This lunchbox looks delicious. I think I can show off two, okay? It's not free, I can pay you!"

Mingmei gave a soft, haughty snort, but in the end she still made a deal with Mu Chen.

Don't get me wrong, she just wants to earn credits!

When Mingmei saw her credits arrive, she couldn't help but smile, revealing adorable dimples on her face.

Throughout the entire transaction, Mu Chen kept his eyes fixed on Mingmei's face. Seeing the changes in her expression, his smile deepened.

Sure enough, he still preferred to see her happy.

He liked it whether she had a blank face but bright eyes when she was happy, or her eyes were lively and the corners of her mouth were starting to curve.

As long as she's happy.

The sweet and sour pink bubble scene between the two of them made Lu Xiaoyao feel heartbroken, and so did Lu Xiaoyao's audience!

[This man... really, can't he just concentrate for a second?!]

The viewers in the live chat were unhappy. It was obvious that Mu Chen had a special feeling for Mingmei, but the current businesswoman looked different from the original one!

In their view, it's simply a change of personnel!

They were heartbroken; a certain couple had broken up because the guy had fallen for someone else!

[Waaaaah, stop cutting! Stop cutting! The child is crying so hard they're going crazy!]

Every piece of candy is a knife to the past!! Waaaaaah...

[I thought he was some kind of sophisticated man, but... Waaah! You scumbag! You'll date whoever sells takeout!]

[You scumbag! Have you forgotten that former businesswoman who was like a goddess from the heavens?!]

[Aaaaaah! I want to ship this couple too, but my ex-partner is dying with regrets!!]

I glanced at Mingmei's live stream room when I had a spare moment and felt both annoyed and amused.

Do you have to be this emotionally invested in shipping couples?

Wise people don't fall in love; couples live a vegetarian life and chant Buddhist scriptures.

Thinking it over, Mingmei glanced at Mu Chen beside her, secretly asking Gui Gui, "Do you think my face matches Mu Chen's better, or the original one?"

Gui Gui: [Host, you're selling boxed lunches, don't think about personal matters during work hours!!]

Mingmei: ...Why are you so irritable?

"Wait!"

Zhen Hu finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to stop Mu Chen's hand from taking the lunchbox, temporarily suspending the transaction.

Mu Chen: ? ? ?

Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?

Zhen Hu then put his arm around Mu Chen's shoulder and said, "What's so good about this boxed lunch? I have some top-quality roast meat, it's free, do you want some? You scholar, don't you know how to be frugal when you're traveling? You're spending money to buy boxed lunches."

Seeing the increasingly incredulous expression on Mu Chen's face, he turned Mu Chen away from Mingmei and whispered frankly, "Brother, I see you are quite strong. Be careful not to fall into their trap, okay?"

"did you mean……"

"She's no nobody."

"I know, it's an NPC." The NPC selling boxed lunches.

"No! I mean the characters in her story aren't human."

Seeing that the other party was "not getting it," Zhen Hu quickly explained, revealing Zhen Po's true identity as well, stating that the Celestial Master had discovered that Mingmei was not human.

After Zhen Hu finished explaining, he saw that Mu Chen was silent, and assumed that he knew and was a little scared, which made him feel satisfied.

He remembered that Mu Chen was quite strong. If he and his brother could win him over now, the mission would go much more smoothly. They couldn't let such a talented person be eliminated so easily.

You're too kind.

Just as Zhen Hu was still basking in the memory of Mu Chen's grateful acceptance of his proposal to form an alliance after saving him, Mu Chen turned around and bought a boxed lunch!

"You you you you..."

Zhen Hu was so angry that he couldn't speak properly. He pointed at the boxed lunch that Mu Chen had brought back with a trembling hand. It was such a disappointment!

After all that I've said, why is this person still so stubborn?!

Zhen Hu glanced at Mingmei again, and seeing that she had already walked far away and was resting with her eyes closed under another shady tree, he turned around and questioned, "Didn't I already tell you? Why did you still buy it!"

I'm hungry!

Mu Chen barely even looked at the skills required to prepare the boxed lunch; he just blindly ate it.

The important thing is to appease Mingmei; who cares what you say?

Thinking about it, Mu Chen put the rich, dark-sauced braised pork with rice into his mouth in front of Zhen Hu. Zhen Hu was about to say something, but when he saw the braised pork rice, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Holy crap!

It smells so good!

It's going to be delicious!

Take one more look!

Wow, this is the food from my dream restaurant!

The rice cakes, each grain distinct and translucent, glistened in the sunlight, coated in reddish-brown meat juice, captivating Zhen Huzhen's gaze.
