Shen Shiqing was busy in the kitchen, preparing to show off her skills, when Lu Jingchu walked right in.
"Teacher Lu, you can just sit outside. It will be ready soon." Shen Shiqing thought he was hungry. "There is food in the refrigerator. You can have something to eat if you are hungry."
"I'm not hungry." Lu Jingchu shook her head helplessly. "I'll help you."
"Oh, so you came to help me... What, to help me!? Teacher Lu, do you have to be so proactive?! This is hard for me to handle!"
When Lu Jingchu heard what she was thinking, a smile appeared on his face as he lowered his eyes.
Before Shen Shiqing could speak, Lu Jingchu conscientiously washed the vegetables and chopped them on the cutting board.
Shen Shiqing was also happy to see this and started cooking as well. With two stoves, the two divided the work: Lu Jingchu made soup, and Shen Shiqing stir-fried vegetables.
Occasionally, you can hear Sister Lin and Shi Xia watching TV and joking around outside.
The meal was ready in less than an hour.
Shen Shiqing was used to cleaning the kitchen as he cooked, and finally washed his hands and dried them with a towel.
“It’s about time we can call them…” Shen Shiqing was interrupted by Lu Jingchu before she could finish speaking.
"If you want to touch me, you can." Lu Jingchu lowered her head and spoke softly, her ear tips slightly red.
"Huh? Is it...is it okay?" Shen Shiqing was surprised. How did Lu Jingchu know she wanted to touch her? Had she been too obvious?
"If it's you, then yes."
Shen Shiqing carefully reached out his hand. When he touched it, he felt a slight itch, as if an electric current was passing through him. Then he placed his hand on it and gently touched it a few times.
From top to bottom.
"It really looks just like a big golden retriever!!!!"
It feels amazing and is incredibly smooth.
Shen Shiqing noticed that Lu Jingchu's neck was turning red at a visible speed.
"I didn't expect Lu Jingchu to be so shy?"
Just as Shen Shiqing was about to touch her a few more times, someone suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing Sister Lin, Shen Shiqing abruptly withdrew his hand.
"You...you, you guys continue, hahaha, continue." Sister Lin had no idea she would see this scene, and was so embarrassed that she disappeared into the ground.
"Let's go out first."
Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu served the dishes: crucian carp and tofu soup, sweet and sour pork, hot and sour shredded potatoes, braised pork, stir-fried green beans, and steamed scallops with garlic and vermicelli.
Five dishes and a soup were enough for the four of them.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Shi Xia ran over from the sofa.
"Finally, I can eat Sister Shi's cooking again! I'm so satisfied!!!"
Shi Xia's excitement was like she'd taken a stimulant, leaving Shen Shiqing both amused and exasperated.
"There's also something Teacher Lu made; you can try it later."
“My brother… uh, Brother Lu can cook too… hahahahaha.” Shi Xia glanced at Lu Jingchu, thinking, “I’ve never seen you cook at home.”
It's not like you're blushing over a teapot.
Did something happen that I don't know about?
Before Shi Xia could come up with a solution, Sister Lin pulled her to a seat.
Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing sat on one side, while Shi Xia and Sister Lin sat opposite them.
Shen Shiqing adhered to the principle that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed, and pretended that nothing had happened.
When Sister Lin looked at her, she pretended not to see her.
But the chopsticks she was gripping tightly betrayed her.
Sister Lin glanced at Lu Jingchu.
Why is Lu Yingdi's ears, neck, and face all red?
Has she really never been in a relationship?!
"Brother Lu, why is your face so red? Are you hot? I'll turn the air conditioning down a bit."
Shi Xia turned around to get the remote control.
The three of them sat at the table in utter awkward silence.
"Eat, eat your meal."
"Ah, eat, eat, eat."
Shen Shiqing lowered his head and ate his rice, somewhat afraid to look at Lu Jingchu, but the feeling of the food just now was indeed quite good and worth savoring.
"So delicious, so delicious, so incredibly delicious!!!! This braised pork is my absolute favorite!!!"
"And this, this soup is great too!! So delicious!!!"
"Hot and sour shredded potatoes! This looks so good!!!! Sister Shi, I want to take you home!!!!"
Shi Xia was very accommodating, praising all the dishes and even asking for more rice several times.
Shen Shiqing was unsure whether he should stop her; if this continued, her manager might come and kill her.
But as long as she's happy eating, she can worry about dieting later.
That's just how this profession is; you always have to give something in return.
Shen Shiqing heard the sound of the television.
"Hmm, is the TV still on? What were you watching that you seemed to be having so much fun?" Shen Shiqing, no longer feeling awkward, took the initiative to start a conversation.
"..."
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything?" What are you looking at but can't I tell you?
Did she secretly watch something inappropriate behind my back?!
"Eat first." Lu Jingchu placed a piece of braised pork into Shen Shiqing's bowl.
Looking at the piece of meat, Sister Lin felt a mix of emotions.
"Wait, that voice sounds familiar." Shen Shiqing was so focused that he didn't even realize there was a piece of meat in his bowl.
"You guys!!!" Shen Shiqing knew what drama they were watching—the one she had filmed back then, which was incredibly melodramatic, clichéd, and had nothing to offer except for the actors' good looks. It was so ridiculous it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
"Why are you guys looking at that?" Shen Shiqing said helplessly, "That... I can't even stand it myself..."
Shen Shiqing was absolutely telling the truth... When she first saw it, she felt like she was going to go blind.
Why did they rewatch this show? Shen Shiqing was on the verge of tears, not knowing what to say.
"Sister Shi~ I think it looks great~ You look even better in it~" Shi Xia is such a little angel.
"It has good looks, a good storyline, and good acting skills, hahaha." Sister Lin started to expose them.
"You agree, right, Actor Lu?" Sister Lin changed the subject and asked Lu Jingchu directly.
At this moment, Lu Jingchu was still putting food into Shen Shiqing's bowl.
"No, I think it looks great and it's very cute." Lu Jingchu said this as casually as if she were talking about the weather.
Now things are really messed up. Shen Shiqing stopped eating, his bowl was full, and his face turned red.
Seriously? You two are so innocent?! This is another blow to Sister Lin.
"Thank you, Teacher Lu." Shen Shiqing didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head and eat.
Shi Xia gave Lu Jingchu a look of unwavering approval—not bad, brother, you can talk even better than me. You deserve to be my future sister-in-law.
Sister Lin was petrified.
As a Grand Slam all-around Best Actor winner, how did you manage to say that compliment?
If Shen Shiqing's acting skills are okay now, then her acting skills in the past can be considered her dark history!
He can praise even his dark past without hesitation... I'm telling you, don't love him too much, Lu Jingchu.
Sister Lin didn't dare to express her feelings, but she felt that Lu Jingchu's attitude towards Shen Shiqing was a bit strange.
The atmosphere was strange.
Who in their right mind would be so humble as to let someone pat their head?!
