The menu returned to his hand again, and Shen Nianchu inexplicably thought of the two men he had dated in the past two days.
What is the difference?
This is called difference.
After ordering a few signature dishes, Pei An poured them some red wine before leaving the room.
For two full minutes, no one spoke.
It was too quiet, and Shen Nianchu felt embarrassed again, even more embarrassed than the blind dates of the past two days.
Just when I was wondering whether to say something to break the awkwardness, Lu Jinzhou spoke up, "How was the variety show filming?"
Shen Nianchu: “…”
What do you think?
Of course, she didn't dare to say it so bluntly. She just looked at the man opposite her and said, "That's good. I've learned a lot."
I don't know if these weird guys were arranged by Jiang Qinian or if they were under Lu Jinzhou's will, so I said tentatively,
"People should try to live longer so that they can meet all kinds of people, right?"
Lu Jinzhou met her meaningful gaze, but remained calm and said slowly, "It seems that your blind date was quite exciting."
Pei An brought in a bottle of very expensive red wine and tried his best to be an invisible person.
Shen Nianchu glanced at the logo on the bottle and her heart skipped a beat. It was a price she couldn't afford.
It's not enough to bully her on the show, but you also want to make her lose money?
He spoke with a stiff smile,
"That's right. It's so outrageous that I almost thought it was a special arrangement by the production team. But then I also feel... the production team and I have no grudges against each other, so why would they go out of their way to find those people to cause me unhappiness? It can't be just for the ratings of the production team."
Lu Jinzhou frowned, looking a little surprised, "Really?"
Shen Nianchu nodded seriously, "Yeah, I almost thought someone had a grudge against me and was taking revenge on me."
Lu Jinzhou raised his chin and looked at Pei An, who was sobering up, and said, "Go ask Jiang Qinian what's going on."
Pei An: “…”
Why are you still asking about Young Master Jiang? Young Master Jiang was probably killed by the big pot that fell from the sky just a second ago.
Pei An: "Yes."
Shen Nianchu hesitated. It seemed that he really didn't know anything, which meant that Jiang Qinian took it upon himself to retaliate against her.
She said that Lu Jinzhou couldn't be so petty.
There is nothing wrong with Yunshangke's dishes except that they are expensive.
Chen Nianchu hadn't eaten much all day and wanted to have a full meal, but Lu Jinzhou's eating manners were so noble and elegant that she felt embarrassed and only symbolically took a bite or two of the food occasionally to show her appreciation.
Lu Jinzhou ate without saying a word. The whole room was so quiet that only the slight clinking of dishes and chopsticks and the breathing of the two people could be heard.
"Don't you like it?"
"Ah?" Shen Nianchu raised his head and met the man's dark eyes.
"No, I'm not really hungry. I still have to record a show tomorrow. Female artists always have to pay attention to their figure management."
Lu Jinzhou glanced at the little face that was no bigger than his palm and said in a deep voice, "You're not fat, eat."
I wolfed down the food Jiang Wang cooked that night, but I didn't eat much today. Now I'm lying with my eyes open and being reserved.
In fact, Shen Nianchu couldn't hold back any longer, but when he thought about what he had just said about not being very hungry, he was too embarrassed to pick up his chopsticks.
Lu Jinzhou spoke again, "Don't waste it, after all, it's your treat."
When she mentioned the price, she felt heartbroken again. This Peninsula Manor was really not a place that ordinary people could come to. The things there were extremely expensive. Just looking at the table in front of her, she estimated that it cost over ten thousand.
This does not include the bottle of Romanee-Conti that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
She always takes the opportunity to back down. "I think it's shameful to waste food. Although I'm not very hungry, I can eat."
Lu Jinzhou lowered the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up, turned the fish in front of Shen Nianchu, and said, "Eat it."
"You don't like fish?"
"generally."
"Oh, I should have known not to do this."
It's really difficult. Before ordering, he said he wasn't picky, but after the dishes were served, he said he was just okay with the fish.
If she doesn’t want to eat it, then she doesn’t have to. It just so happens that she likes eating fish. Anyway, it’s her own money, so it would be a big loss if she doesn’t eat it.
Lu Jinzhou might have been brought up like this since he was a child, and then he stopped talking and ate quietly.
Compared to Ling Wenbin's repeated "my mother said" while eating, and the endless words that made her sleepy, Shen Nianchu now felt so comfortable that she even felt a little full.
When it came time to check out, I clicked on the payment QR code with great heartache, only to be told that the payment had already been made.
She looked at the tall man beside her in surprise, "You got married?"
Lu Jinzhou turned around and walked out, saying "hmm" lightly.
Shen Nianchu quickly raised his feet to catch up, "Didn't you say I'll treat you?"
"I'm not in the habit of letting women pay."
His expression was serious and his tone was calm. She believed everything he said, but when she thought about what happened before...
Shen Nianchu blurted out: “Then you asked me to pay 250 for the fare before?”
Lu Jinzhou: “…”
The atmosphere became tense again.
Shen Nianchu touched the tip of her nose awkwardly, avoiding the man's cold gaze, "Of course, of course."
The restaurant was some distance away from the villa area rented by the program crew for filming. Shen Nianchu saw the sightseeing bus of the scenic area not far away and looked up and said,
"Thank you for the dinner, Master Lu. I'll go back now. I'll treat you next time if I have the chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sightseeing bus started and drove away in the opposite direction of the villa area.
She was about to wave her hand to stop when she heard Lu Jinzhou say in a low voice,
"The manor's tour bus driver gets off work at 10 p.m. Do you want him to work overtime?"
Shen Nianchu raised his hand and looked at the watch. It was ten and three minutes, which was quite unfortunate.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Shen Nianchu didn’t see any luxury cars around, and the man had already walked down the stairs, “Walk back?”
"Female celebrities don't need to digest their food after a big meal late at night?"
She wanted to go back and take a walk in the yard. If that was the case, it was perfect. "Let's go, but I don't know the way."
The sightseeing bus ride here only lasted a few minutes, and her mind was completely focused on Lu Jinzhou inviting her to dinner, and she didn't pay any attention to the scenery along the way or the route she took.
Lu Jinzhou slipped one hand into his trouser pocket and walked forward slowly. "I know. There's a shortcut here. It's about ten minutes away."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Lu."
Fortunately, he wore flat shoes when he went out. However, although Lu Jinzhou had long legs, his steps were not fast.
She just wanted to look good, and considering that there was air conditioning in the room, she dressed a little lightly, so she put a sweater over her long skirt and went out.
The night wind was still cool. As soon as I shrank my neck because of the cold, a piece of clothing fell off my shoulders.
It's his black suit.
Shen Nianchu saw that he was still wearing a black shirt in the late autumn weather, which seemed thinner than hers, "No need, you won't be cold if you walk."
There is a height difference of nearly 20 centimeters between the two, almost the height of a head.
Lu Jinzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at her, saying calmly, "You want to be absent from work due to illness, so that the production team can spend money to hire another artist?"
Shen Nianchu immediately gathered his coat and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
It was owned by Lu's group during its heyday, so it seems that he was worried about his own money.
However, the meal she and Lu Jinzhou had tonight felt like a date.
