Chapter 69. You can't just talk your mind, can you?

Don't think he didn't see it; Li Chengzhou untied the apron himself.

That's why it's loose and limp.

I never expected that this man, who looked like a gentleman, would be so scheming behind the scenes.

Lu Wanxing has really bad eyesight.

If I hadn't been there to keep an eye on things, I might have been scammed and even helped the scammers count their money.

Bo Sinian thought to himself smugly that he had suddenly found a source of amusement: to make Li Chengzhou's public image collapse.

Isn't this supposed to be a gentle and refined demeanor?

He then exposed his true colors, without giving a second thought to what benefits he might gain from the exposure.

The tense standoff between the two was witnessed by netizens, who later edited it into those bizarre and absurd videos.

This once created a bizarre, perpetual calendar-like couple between the two men.

The men in the back were paired up quite well, but the power struggles and intrigues were just as exciting as those in the TV series "Empresses in the Palace".

Han Xiulin watched all this while chatting happily with the two girls.

Lu Wanxing and Lin Qiao sat at the bar, watching the people inside busy themselves.

Plates of delicious-looking dishes were served, and you could almost smell the aroma through the screen.

"Wow! Brother Li, you're really amazing! Did you do all of this?"

Wen Chen was the first to come forward and show his support.

As Li Chengzhou untied his apron, he chuckled and said, "Yes, but this is the result of everyone's hard work."

He didn't claim all the credit himself, but instead mentioned that others had also helped.

"You're amazing! You're so busy filming, do you even have time to cook?"

Shen Wei, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore.

After all, Li Chengzhou has stolen the show, so he still needs to come out from time to time to make his presence felt.

"Yes, my mom told me before that I should learn to cook so that I could find a wife, so I started learning when I was very young."

“I can prove that.”

Lu Wanxing weakly raised her hand beside her.

The expressions on the faces of everyone present became quite meaningful.

Sheng Siwan certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

He immediately smiled and said, "Oh? So it seems that Brother Li and Wanxing have known each other since they were very young? I'm so envious of you two, just like me and Si Nian, you're childhood sweethearts!"

On the surface, Sheng Siwan was referring to Li Chengzhou and Lu Wanxing, but her words were nothing less than a boast about the unusual relationship between herself and Bo Sinian.

Of course, she genuinely wanted to bring Li Chengzhou and Lu Wanxing together.

This means there's no longer any possibility for Lu Wanxing and Bo Sinian.

Wow! I'm so envious of you guys, you all have your childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Xia Xiyue said something that showed a complete lack of emotional intelligence.

After she finished speaking, the expressions of the people present were different, while Li Chengzhou had a smile on his lips.

However, Bo Si Nian was relatively indifferent.

He didn't want to explain this matter, since they had indeed grown up together.

But to say how familiar I am with it, I really am not.

He didn't come out to explain himself only because he was thinking of the Sheng family's life-saving grace back then.

"Alright, everyone, sit down and enjoy your meal. I can't wait any longer."

Wen Chen stepped in at this moment to ease the tension.

Lin Qiao also stood up to agree.

"Yeah, the food Brother Li makes looks delicious. I've been starving for ages."

Everyone chatted and laughed, which eased the awkward atmosphere from before.

After the group sat down, the only sounds at the table were the sounds of eating.

Everyone gave Li Chengzhou a thumbs up without prior agreement.

"Brother Li, from now on you're my brother, my own brother. I'm going to stick to you from now on."

Wen Chen spoke as if they were good buddies.

"Waaaaah, I'm so happy. I can eat Brother Li's cooking again in my lifetime."

Lin Qiao echoed.

"Yes, Brother Li's cooking skills are really good. I'm suddenly a little envious of Wanxing."

After Xia Xiyue finished speaking with an exaggerated expression, everyone's attention couldn't help but turn to Lu Wanxing.

At that moment, she was engrossed in eating, and when everyone looked over, Bo Sinian was peeling shrimp, and he expertly placed the peeled shrimp into Lu Wanxing's bowl.

It was only at this moment that Lu Wanxing noticed the strange atmosphere and saw the shrimp in her bowl.

She looked up and saw the man opposite her. Their eyes met briefly, and she could only say softly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Bo Siqing coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice.

The atmosphere at the scene became even more awkward.

[This ex-boyfriend's moves are so practiced.]

Their familiarity with each other makes one wonder if these two can rekindle their old flame.

[I'm the champion of late-life couples! Are any other couples as exciting as us?]

Netizens are already shipping them, but the two people on the scene are quite different. One is calm and composed, while the other is digging his toes into the ground while pretending to be calm.

Li Chengzhou paused abruptly as he was talking to everyone, then casually said, "What's there to envy? You're eating it right now, aren't you? Why don't you say you envy yourself?"

I thought that since he had already said that, Xia Xiyue wouldn't continue.

Who knew that the person would just say, "This is just one meal for me, but Wanxing can eat like this for a lifetime."

Their relationship is barely even started, and now they're talking about forever. This statement only made the atmosphere at the scene even more silent.

Xia Xiyue seemed to realize the awkward atmosphere and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Yes, I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? Oh dear, I'm just a straightforward person, please don't mind!"

"Heh~ You can't just talk your way out of things, can you?"

"What do you mean? I was just joking. Is it really that big of a deal? Can't you even take a joke?"

"As for it? What kind of relationship do we have? You think you're worthy to joke with me? You were left behind during human evolution. I really can't take jokes about interspecies stuff~"

After Lu Wanxing uttered such a domineering sentence, she completely ignored Xia Xiyue's face, which was as red as a palette of colors, and continued eating.

The others pretended not to see it.

I don't know what's wrong with Xia Xiyue, but she just loves to make things difficult for you. Even though she says hurtful things, she always smiles and pretends to be on good terms with you.

Actually, our relationships weren't that good, were they?

No wonder this kind of person couldn't make it in the entertainment industry; they really don't use their brains.

"By the way, tomorrow is our last day. I wonder what kind of tasks the production team will assign us."

Shen Wei then stepped forward and asked a more normal question, and the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.
