Chapter 237: Background Cannon Fodder Who Died an Unexpected Death (17)

Two pots of medicinal food were being cooked in the kitchen, one for Lin Shichu's elder brother, and the other for Zhao Yicheng.

She wanted to seduce men but she couldn't let her lust lead her to forget her loyalty and her elder brother's share, so when Lin Shichu was making medicinal food for Zhao Yicheng, she also made one for Lin Shiyu. After all, it was for their completely different physical conditions and couldn't be made together.

An enticing aroma with a faint medicinal scent wafted from the pot. Lin Shichu finally added an appropriate amount of salt and poured it into the prepared insulated lunch box.

She first sent some medicated food to Lin Shiyu, and seeing that he had recovered well, she went straight to Zhao Yichen's hotel.

Zhao Yicheng arrived in Yucheng a few days ago. Lin Shichu met with him, took his pulse, and decided what kind of medicinal food to prepare for him. The medicinal materials she used were all taken from her own space, and the effect was excellent.

"Yicheng, Miss Lin is already waiting for you in the hotel." The agent walked up to Zhao Yicheng who was changing his costumes, looked around, and made sure that there was no one around before speaking in a low voice.

Zhao Yicheng nodded, and the agent couldn't help but start nagging again: "Is that Miss Lin really reliable? Can she really cure your insomnia? Why do I feel that she has other intentions... Is she using this excuse to get close to you?"

Get close to him? Zhao Yicheng thought about it. Lin Shichu's attitude towards him did seem a little too enthusiastic at the beginning, but this enthusiasm was not like the fanaticism and admiration of fans. Instead, it was more like... pampering? Indulgence?

Zhao Yicheng shuddered when he thought of these two words. How could a grown man of almost 1.9 meters tall feel spoiled by a little woman? No, no, this must be his illusion!

Zhao Yicheng immediately denied it, thinking that he must have been mistaken in feeling this strange feeling!

"She can make a calming incense that is useful to me, so the medicinal food she makes for me might also be useful. I'll give it a try." Zhao Yicheng explained, "Don't always think of people as so complicated."

"Did I overthink him?" The agent was so angry that he laughed. "We didn't even know who it was, but the assistant took a photo of his bedroom and posted it online and fired him, insisting that he was an undercover sent by the enemy..."

Zhao Yicheng listened and said with a cold and handsome face: "I clearly told him that I value privacy and that no one can enter the study and bedroom without permission. Not only did he go in, he also took photos and posted them on the public platform. An assistant with such no professional ethics will be a disaster if he stays. He may be bribed to sell out my affairs in the future."

"Okay, okay, okay! I can't argue with you! You should go back to the hotel quickly and be careful not to let the reporters find out. If you really can't help but have something happen between you and Miss Lin, you must report to me in time so that I have time to prepare for the public relations handling of the emergency, okay?" The agent admonished him earnestly.

"Got it." Zhao Yichen answered absentmindedly. After changing his clothes, he hurriedly left the set and walked out. Some crew members who had not yet finished get off work saw him and greeted him. He nodded in response a few times.

"Why did Actor Zhao leave the set so early today?" A young employee from the props group asked puzzledly as he watched Zhao Yicheng leave.

"I heard that he and the director have agreed to concentrate his scenes during the day as much as possible, saying that he has important things to do at night." The companion next to him answered.

"The director agreed to his request? Isn't he afraid of being accused of being a big shot?" the man continued to ask.

"What are you afraid of? Actor Zhao has acting skills and popularity. He can usually get a scene approved in just one take. The director likes him so much. His small request won't delay the crew's performance. Why don't you agree?" the companion said again.

"Only those with strong strength have the right to speak!" the man sighed.

"Of course! Which industry isn't like this? But I wonder what important things Mr. Zhao has to do tonight? Is he going to accompany his girlfriend? Hehe..."

Zhao Yicheng didn't know how the crew was discussing him. He had already returned to his hotel room. Lin Shichu was taking out the medicinal food from the lunch box to cool it down. When he saw him coming back, he smiled and said, "You're back just in time. The medicinal food is ready to eat."

Zhao Yicheng asked her: "Have you had dinner?"

Lin Shichu took out another lunch box and said, "No, this is my dinner today. I want to eat with you."

"Isn't it a waste of your time to help me prepare the medicinal food? You can give the ingredients to me and I'll ask my assistant to prepare it." Seeing that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, Zhao Yicheng thought that she didn't have time to eat because she was helping him prepare the medicinal food.

"No, I have to keep track of the time to cook these medicinal foods. The amount of water, the time, order and quantity of adding medicinal materials must be precise to ensure the greatest effect. Not just anyone can cook it." Lin Shichu shook her head. She really put a lot of effort into Zhao Yichen.

When Zhao Yicheng heard that making a medicinal meal was so complicated, he suddenly felt embarrassed. It seemed that Lin Shichu was too nice to him. He was a little confused. Could it be that what his agent said was true, that Lin Shichu had taken a fancy to him and was using this excuse to get close to him?

While Zhao Yicheng was drinking the medicinal food, his eyes kept looking at Lin Shichu.

Lin Shichu was wearing a professional suit today. The upper body was a nude silk short-sleeved shirt, and the lower body was wearing a black umbrella skirt with a strong sense of drape. The hem of the skirt was long to the calf, revealing a pair of delicate white ankles. This fashionable and simple outfit made her look elegant, sweet, and gentle.

It turns out that she is quite pretty, and this dress suits her very well... This thought suddenly came to Zhao Yichen's mind, and he was shocked when he realized that he was commenting on a girl's appearance.

In the past few years, he has been focusing on his career and has not considered his personal feelings at all. Although he is not a traffic star who needs to use a single persona to maintain his fans, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he has always kept himself clean, not hyping up scandals or CPs, and not dating female stars. He is even more pure-hearted than the monks in the temple.

Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t plan to fall in love, but being in the entertainment industry, he has seen so many chaotic and complicated relationships between men and women that he has become less interested in falling in love.

In addition, not meeting someone he likes is also a reason why he remains single.

Lin Shichu is not from the entertainment industry. She is as pretty as female stars, but unlike those glamorous female stars, she does not have the ambition and greed that they have. She is serious and rigorous at work, independent and strong, and gentle and lovely in life, making her very comfortable to get along with.

Zhao Yicheng finally realized that Lin Shichu seemed to be a very suitable person for him to date.
