Ni Hao looked at Zhou Rui, who had a disdainful expression and wasn't excited at all, and felt anxious.
"Rui Rui, that's Bai Xinze!"
"Hmm, what's wrong with Bai Xinze? Didn't you say you don't follow celebrities?" Zhou Rui replied to Ni Hao while chopping vegetables.
"I don't follow celebrities, but Bai Xinze is so handsome, I'm still a little curious whether he's as handsome in person as he is in TV dramas."
Zhou Rui stared at Ni Hao with wide, suspicious eyes. Was he blind? Bai Xinze was nowhere near as handsome as her husband!
She turned her head and glanced at her handsome husband leaning against the door, a smile playing on her lips. My husband is still the most handsome.
"It's alright, pretty much the same as in the TV series."
Ni Hao looked at him suspiciously, "Rui Rui, have you met Bai Xinze?"
"Well, how could I not know her, since she works at the same company as my husband?"
Ni Hao excitedly patted Zhou Rui on the shoulder, "Oh right, I forgot they're from the same company. They're filming here, and you two didn't even invite them to dinner."
When He Muchen heard Ni Hao say this, he felt that the man was very sensible. He walked forward with satisfaction and gently put his arm around Zhou Rui's shoulder.
"Honey, I also think it's a bit inappropriate for us not to invite him to dinner."
Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen in surprise. When did he become so close to Bai Xinze? Did they become good friends in the two years I was away?
"But I didn't buy too many groceries."
"It's okay, go buy some more, and while you're at it, say hello to them. I think they must miss you a lot."
"them?"
"Yes! Sister Hong, Li Tiantian..."
"Are Sister Hong and Li Tiantian here too?"
He Muchen nodded, and Zhou Rui asked curiously, "Wow! What movie is he filming? Hong Jie is always with him, and Li Tiantian is with him too?"
"Let's make a youth drama. I'll call Sister Hong right now."
Zhou Rui said "oh," and He Muchen affectionately rubbed his head before reluctantly going to the living room to call Sister Hong.
He didn't want Hongjie and the others to bother him; having a third wheel in the house was already uncomfortable enough.
But Ni Hao is right. They're already at their doorstep, and they're acquaintances from the same company. We can't just not invite them over for a meal, and it'll be a good opportunity to provoke Bai Xinze.
After He Muchen finished his call, Sister Hong downstairs was completely shocked, marveling at how small the world was, that she could actually run into him here.
Wait a minute! Why would the God of Wealth, He, be so kind as to invite them to his home for dinner?
Sister Hong looked up at the sky. The sky was clear, and it wasn't raining red rain!
After Bai Xinze finished filming, Li Tiantian enthusiastically handed him a water glass, which Bai Xinze reluctantly accepted and drank.
Li Tiantian stared at Bai Xinze with a lovesick expression as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
Li Tiantian pursued him for more than two years. Whenever he was filming, he would go with him to be his makeup artist.
Bai Xinze remained unmoved. She knew that the person Bai Xinze liked was Zhou Rui, and it was because of Zhou Rui that she had a chance to win him over.
"Sister Hong, we've finished filming today, so I'm going back to the hotel to check out the script."
"Wait a minute, Mu Chen called and invited us to his house for dinner."
"I won't go, Sister Hong."
Bai Xinze wasn't disrespecting Sister Hong and He Muchen; rather, he didn't want to see He Muchen because he was afraid that seeing him would remind him of Zhou Rui.
"Oh, then let's go together, Tiantian. I heard Zhou Rui is cooking tonight. I wonder if his cooking is any good."
"Zhou Rui?" Li Tiantian and Bai Xinze said in unison.
Hongjie looked at the two of them and said in surprise, “You two are quite in sync. It’s true that you develop a tacit understanding after spending a lot of time together.”
"Sister Hong, that Zhou Rui?" Bai Xinze asked Sister Hong in disbelief.
He hadn't seen Zhou Rui for two years. Back then, Zhou Rui left without saying goodbye. He sent him messages and made phone calls, but Zhou Rui never replied.
"And who else is Zhou Rui? Isn't he just that Zhou Rui from Mu Chen's family?"
"Where are they? Let's go now!" Bai Xinze said excitedly, so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands.
Seeing him like this, Li Tiantian felt a pang of pain in her heart. She had to admit that her heart was also made of flesh and blood; it could feel pain and sorrow.
"No rush, they'll probably be down in a bit, because they're here to buy groceries."
"Look, they've arrived as soon as I mentioned it."
Bai Xinze looked ahead and saw a fair-skinned young man dressed in a clean white T-shirt and casual attire, smiling sweetly at He Muchen, who was bundled up tightly beside him.
It turns out he found him first.
They walked up to them, and Zhou Rui smiled sweetly, "Sister Hong, long time no see..."
Li Tiantian walked forward and pinched his cheek. "Rui Rui, how could you be so heartless? You just left without saying a word."
"Do you know how much we miss you?"
Li Tiantian glanced at Bai Xinze beside her.
He Muchen patted Li Tiantian's hand, "Li Tiantian, don't pinch my wife's face and ruin it."
"Hey, you stinky dog, I'm not that strong. I think you're just afraid I'll steal your wife away."
Zhou Rui chuckled and said, "Sweetie, actually your grip is a bit strong."
"Did it hurt?" He Muchen and Bai Xinze asked in unison.
Zhou Rui glanced at Bai Xinze, then looked up at He Muchen beside her and said with a smile, "Honey, I was just joking with Tian Tian. It won't hurt."
"Did you hear that? I didn't hurt him," Li Tiantian said, feeling wronged.
She was afraid that Bai Xinze would think she was fierce and dislike her even more.
Ni Hao leaned closer to Bai Xinze and exclaimed, "He's actually much better looking in person than on TV."
Bai Xinze was a little startled when Ni Hao suddenly approached him, because he had been so focused on looking at Zhou Rui.
Bai Xinze immediately switched to his standard smile and said gently, "Are you talking about me?"
Ni Hao nodded, smiling as he looked at Bai Xinze, "Yeah, he's really handsome in person."
Li Tiantian saw a stranger approaching Bai Xinze and staring at him with a bit of infatuation, which annoyed her a little…
Li Tiantian shoved Ni Hao, "Excuse me, who are you? Aren't you getting a little too close to my artist?"
Ni Hao smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, I really enjoy watching your artists' dramas. I got a little excited when I saw them in person."
"Fans shouldn't get that close," Li Tiantian said unhappily.
He can't handle Zhou Rui alone, what will he do if another one comes along?
Zhou Rui linked arms with Ni Hao and explained, "This is my friend. He got a little excited to see his idol, so please understand."
Bai Xinze said gently to Ni Hao, "It's okay, thank you for liking my acting."
Ni Hao blushed with excitement and lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Bai Xinze's gentle eyes.

Several people squeezed into Zhou Rui's small rented room, eating their meal.
Zhou Rui said with a smile, "Sorry, my place is small, it's a bit crowded..."
"It's alright, but Zhou Rui, your cooking is really delicious. Mu Chen is lucky to have found you."
