The first thing Qiao Zhen did after waking up was to break free from Xu Li's arms and legs. She placed the little chrysanthemum in her arms into Xu Li's arms, and then got up to go to the bathroom to wash her hair.
I don't know how Xu Li managed to get down there yesterday; his courage is truly admirable.
Xu Li squinted, groping around for Qiao Zhen but touching something furry. He immediately opened his eyes and looked down to see the little chrysanthemum in his arms. He heard the sound of running water in the bathroom, and held the little chrysanthemum in his hands. "A cat that doesn't keep its promise isn't a good cat. If you dare to cling to Zhenzhen again, I won't let you off easily!"
"Meow~" Xiao Ju struggled to open her eyes and looked at Xu Li in front of her. Then she pressed her soft paws against his face and then used her front paws to press Xu Li's face alternately.
Xu Li squinted, enjoying the soft, squishy touch. "You can stick to me, but you're not allowed to stick to Zhenzhen."
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the brief moment of comfort in bed before getting up to make formula and feeding Xiao Juhua until she was full.
When Qiao Zhen came out drying her hair, she saw Xu Li holding the little chrysanthemum and coaxing it to drink milk. "Oh, I didn't realize that Major General Xu was so kind-hearted."
Xu Li quickly put down the baby bottle and took the towel from Qiao Zhen to wipe her head, saying, "It's cold, don't catch a cold."
Qiao Zhen looked at her empty hands, then at the hungry little chrysanthemum, and helplessly sat on the bed, picking up the bottle to feed the little chrysanthemum. "I just praised you. Our little chrysanthemum is so cute, how could you bear to let it go hungry?"
Xu Li focused intently on drying Qiao Zhen's hair. Once Qiao Zhen's hair was almost dry, he squatted down in front of her and said, "I'm also starving."
In an instant, Qiao Zhen's health bar was almost empty, but she still had the self-respect to not feed Xu Li. She deliberately looked at Xu Li with pitiful eyes, "I'm starving too. Mr. Xu is such a loving person, you wouldn't just watch me go hungry, would you?"
Xu Li silently got up and put the towel in the bathroom. Then he called his assistant to bring him breakfast and asked him to find a five-star chef to teach him how to cook.
When Qiao Zhen took Xiao Juhua out, she overheard Xu Li talking on the phone with his assistant. After the call ended, she mischievously suggested, "Why don't you sign up for an extracurricular class? The aunties or girls there will give you a completely new experience, I promise."
Under Qiao Zhen's expectant gaze and upright posture, Xu Li instantly abandoned all his principles and dialed his assistant to enroll him in a cooking class.
After lunch, Qiao Zhen put on sunglasses and a hat, fully armed, and followed Xu Li to his extracurricular class. She looked through the window at Xu Li, who was busy and flustered in the classroom, and then picked up a small chrysanthemum and looked inside. "Look, there's a big oaf in there."
The aunties around him, seeing that Xu Li was handsome and well-dressed, couldn't wait to ask him about his situation.
Qiao Zhen smiled with satisfaction as she watched the older women all point their guns at Xu Li.
While Xu Li wasn't paying attention, she strolled around with the little chrysanthemum in her arms, quite leisurely.
After having a meal at KFC outside, Qiao Zhen carried two Orleans-style burgers to wait for Xu Li outside the classroom. She found that the number of people surrounding him had increased rather than decreased, and she once again showed a motherly smile of relief.
Three hours later, Xu Li finished class and was in a great mood telling Qiao Zhen what he had learned inside. "So that's what potatoes look like. I always thought they were rotten rocks. I even bragged to my teammates that no matter how tough the mission environment was, we would eat rotten rocks to survive. This story is still a legend in the army."
I've never seen anything like it! There are even people who confuse potatoes with rotten stones.
But Qiao Zhen said in a very good mood, "Talking without doing is useless, and doing without talking is stupid. We'll see how you perform at noon."
Xu Li was also happy to show off all his good points to Qiao Zhen, "Okay!"
For a long time afterward, all of Xu Li's experimental dishes ended up in Qiao Zhen's stomach.
Xu's mother did not disturb Xu Li and Qiao Zhen's life anymore, but Qiao Zhen still felt uneasy. Some reborn women have a common problem: they feel that being reborn is God's love for them and a chance for them to fight for the people or things they wanted in their previous life but did not get.
Yu Kewei is clearly this type; she won't give up so easily.
About three or four months later, promotional clips for "The Legend of Concubine Mao" appeared on two major TV stations, followed by rumors of a romance between Fan Zhou and Qiao Zhen.
Because Qiao Zhen terminated her contract with Si Jia Company, she no longer had a team to handle public relations for her. Qiao Zhen's blog exploded again, mostly due to Fan Zhou's harem stirring up trouble. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there were also online trolls pretending to be Fan Zhou's harem.
As soon as this happened, Xu's mother immediately called Xu Li and told him to break up with Qiao Zhen. Her reason was much more sophisticated than before: their Xu family didn't need a daughter-in-law who had to show her face in public.
Qiao Zhen posted on Weibo: Is this what you call a scandal? The standards for judging scandals these days are so low that they surprise me. This fairy only stuffed some roasted lamb into my mouth. The point is, isn't it that I was involved in a quid pro quo, yet I could afford to eat a whole roasted lamb on set?
After she posted this on Weibo, Director Song of "The Legend of Concubine Mao" was also unhappy. He posted several pictures of the crew's boxed lunches on Weibo, tagged Qiao Zhen, and wrote: "Hmph, the young actresses nowadays are really less and less able to endure hardship. They have to eat roasted whole lamb while filming!"
Qiao Zhen left a comment under Director Song's blog: If it weren't for the photo of you wolfing down barbecue, I almost would have believed your lies.
Yu Kewei also posted an ambiguous message on Weibo: Teacher Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen have a very good relationship and get along very humorously on set. It shouldn't be the relationship that everyone is guessing... right?
