Lu Yining took the notebook and carefully signed his name on it. His handwriting was decisive and powerful, and he felt extremely comfortable just by looking at it.
Jinan exclaimed happily: "Oh! Yes!"
She finally got Queen Ningning's autograph! When she got home that night, she had to take a picture and post it in the group chat, so that everyone in the group would be envious and jealous! Hehehe~
There was a bustling atmosphere outside the hall. In the kitchen, Lu Yunchen and Li Manrong were washing vegetables and preparing seasonings in an orderly manner. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Li Manrong was a little confused when she heard Jin'an asking Lu Yining for an autograph or something, but she felt relieved when she saw that they got along well. At the beginning, she was worried that these children with different personalities would not get along.
"It seems that Jin'an likes your sister very much. She keeps pestering your sister for an autograph."
"I guess she's a fan of my sister."
"Your sister's... fans?" Li Manrong, who was preparing the seasoning, stopped and looked up, her eyes full of confusion. "What's your sister's job?"
She suddenly remembered the first time she met Lu Yining. The child almost wrapped himself from head to toe, as if afraid of being recognized.
She felt a little strange at that time, but seeing that Lu Yunchen was also wrapped from head to toe, she thought that maybe they both had a cold and didn't want to infect others, so they dressed like that.
But now it seems that things are not what she thought.
"Celebrity." Lu Yunchen said these two words with an unusually proud look on his face, and he introduced himself to Li Manrong: "There was a very popular variety show called Wilderness Escape some time ago, and my sister was a guest on that variety show."
"Wow, that's amazing." Li Manrong's eyes lit up a bit, and she looked at him with admiration. "I've seen some variety shows about life in the wilderness before, and they give me the impression that it's very hard, very hard. There's nothing in the wilderness, and it's easy to not have enough to eat. You often go hungry."
Hearing this, Lu Yunchen's face was full of subtlety: "Not really."
"Um?"
"My sister is very skilled. She easily caught tiger meat, crocodile meat, and mutton. There was so much meat that she couldn't finish it. In the end, she shared most of it with the staff and packed some to take home. It's also a good thing that my sister and my third brother are in the same group. Otherwise, my third brother, who has no skills at all, would probably have gone home starving."
Uh... you're really okay with praising one and criticizing the other? If your third brother hears this... will he really not beat you?
Li Manrong thought to herself.
"Is your third brother also a star?"
"Yes." Lu Yunchen nodded: "My third brother and fifth sister are both stars."
"Although I haven't met your other family members except your fifth sister, I can feel that your family atmosphere is quite good."
As she said this, a look of envy appeared on her face, and even a glimmer of yearning rose in her eyes.
"Yes, my parents and grandfather are very open-minded. They often joke with us and are very supportive of our careers. No matter what we do, they will just silently support us behind the scenes. I always feel very lucky to be born in such a family."
Yes, a trace of loss flashed in Li Manrong's eyes. Who doesn't want to be born in such a loving and warm family?
Unlike her family, which is so bad...
But before she could think about it, Lu Yunchen's voice continued to sound.
"Manrong, are you coming to my house next week? It's my family's family gathering next week. Anyone who is free must rush home to attend the gathering. We will all get together, chat and have a home-cooked meal."
"My mom has already given me a death order. She told me that I must bring a girlfriend home for dinner this time. Can you... help me pretend?"
Li Manrong's mind went blank with a bang. She stared blankly at Lu Yunchen and stammered, "Pretend...pretend...what? Girlfriend?"
"Yes." Lu Yunchen said calmly: "Can you pretend to be my girlfriend?"
Although he appears calm on the surface, his hands are actually sweating.
"Is this... okay?"
Li Manrong was also a little nervous, with a blush on her cheeks. Her eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look up at him while speaking.
"Would you...will you?"
She quickly looked up at him, then lowered her eyes again, nodded shyly, and whispered: "Yeah."
After hearing this, Lu Yunchen instantly felt his heart become at ease. The corners of his mouth curved up, and he spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would change his mind: "Then I'll come and pick you up then."
"Okay." Li Manrong felt that her head was like a mess and she couldn't clear it up no matter how hard she tried.
What on earth are they thinking about?
When she had asked him for help in an emergency before, she had asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend. After that, she thought that they would never have any contact again.
Unexpectedly, she'd reunited with him, and they were business partners, interacting frequently. And... and now... he wanted her to help him pretend to be his girlfriend?
Li Manrong only felt that her heart was in a mess, and that inexplicable emotion was growing.
She absentmindedly picked up a head of lettuce and broke off the petals one by one. Beside her, Lu Yunchen was not in much better condition, his mind was in turmoil, his eyes sometimes clear, sometimes dazed, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.
At this time, Lu Yining, who had just read the new melon newspaper, was speechless. She glanced at the kitchen with her eyes slanted, and she couldn't help but start complaining.
"I'm so impressed! Big Brother, how could you be so cowardly! And even pretend to be my girlfriend... Can't you just tell Sister Manrong straight up, do you like her? And why are you trying to be so probing and roundabout..."
[Actually, Sister Manrong also likes Big Brother. If Big Brother had just been straightforward and told Sister Manrong directly, she would have definitely agreed.]
Lu Yunchen: “…”
Do you think I don’t want to speak the truth? It’s just that I have a stubborn mouth and I just can’t say those words!
Everyone was rather absent-minded while eating the hotpot tonight. The only ones who were enjoying the meal the most were Lu Yining and Jin An, who had no worries at all.
The two of them ate and drank, chatted from time to time, and chased their idols up close, which made Jin'an dizzy. She couldn't help but think in her heart that it would be great if she could still have close contact with Queen Ningning and chat and laugh with her like she did now.
…
On the other side, after Guan Junhao had finished everything, he sent a message to Lu Yunchen: Report! The task assigned by the organization has been completed, over, over!
