There were eight dishes on the table, and Wenwan cooked them all by herself.

It can be guessed that this woman attached great importance to this dinner party and had probably started preparing for it at noon.

Wen Wan was busy in the kitchen, and Chen Fan looked around the house.

Compared to Wenwan’s previous apartment, this house is much smaller, with only one bedroom and one living room.

The living room where Chen Fan was standing was not very big, and the so-called dining table was actually just a coffee table in the living room.

The bedroom door at the side was open, and Wenwan placed a clothes drying rack inside, almost filling up the entire space.

Opposite the living room, there is an old-fashioned refrigerator and a large TV. However, it is covered with a colorful cloth, and it seems that Wenwan doesn't watch TV very often.

At this time, Wen Wan came out of the kitchen holding a casserole. Seeing this, Chen Fan hurried forward to take it.

"Give it to me, give it to me. It's so hot, you need a towel to cushion it."

Wen Wan blew on her red palms somewhat embarrassedly, pinched her ears with both hands, and blew air with a hissing sound.

"I thought it would only take a few steps to get out, but I didn't expect it to be so hot."

Seeing the woman puffing up her cheeks and blowing air, Chen Fan felt a little amused.

I never realized before that Teacher Wen had such a lovely side.

“Why do you cook so many dishes?”

"It's all done. Let's wash up and eat."

Wenwan smiled, and then suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, there's one thing missing."

After saying that, he quickly ran to the kitchen door and dragged out a box of beer.

Chen Fan was stunned.

"You live alone and drink beer?"

Wen Wan glared at him and said, "I bought this especially for you. I had to carry it all the way up here. I was so tired."

After saying that, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Actually, I occasionally drink beer these days to relieve stress, but I usually drink beer from cans. That's lighter."

Chen Fan pointed to the red wine he had brought.

Wen Wan thought about it, then stood up and got two cups from the side.

"Drink red wine first."

Chen Fan unpacked the package and said jokingly, "This bottle of red wine is very expensive. I usually don't want to buy it."

Wen Wan asked curiously, "Do you know anything about red wine?"

"I don't understand. I just bought it because it was the most expensive."

"It's really simple and crude."

Chen Fan took out the red wine and looked around.

"Do you have a wine opener?"

Wenwan shook her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Given her previous condition, how could she afford to drink red wine?

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Chen Fan shook his head, picked up a chopstick, and poked the cork directly.

After some operation, the cork was actually poked into the bottle.

Chen Fan smiled at Wen Wan: "It can't be saved. I can drink it all tonight."

She handed over a wine glass with a gentle smile.

After pouring red wine into two glasses, Chen Fan looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but sigh.

"I never knew you could cook."

Wen Wan rarely showed a smug smile: "There are still many things you don't know."

Chen Fan then smiled bitterly: "But... this is too much. We can't finish it."

"If you can't finish it, just eat as much as you can. It doesn't matter if you really can't finish it. On the contrary, it's specially prepared for you."

Wen Wan took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass, and looked at Chen Fan with burning eyes.

"Thank you for coming."

Chen Fan smiled and raised his glass: "I never miss a chance to eat for free."

Wen Wan looked at Chen Fan with a strange look in her eyes: "You didn't say that the first two times."

Chen Fan said sarcastically, "I did have other things to do the first two times I called you. I didn't refuse on purpose."

Wenwan smiled faintly: "I was thinking that if you dare to refuse again this time, I will never invite you to dinner again."

Seeing Chen Fan's embarrassed look, Wen Wan just chuckled.

"I'm just kidding. Look how nervous you are."

Chen Fan was a little embarrassed, and found that Wen Wan's personality tonight was completely different from before.

When the two lived in the same apartment, Wen Wan acted serious and pretended to be aloof, because she was still a teacher at that time and felt that she had to maintain her dignity as a teacher in front of Chen Fan.

Wenwan was doing very badly some time ago and could hardly pay the rent.

She was devastated and hopeless at that time, and it was hard to smile at all.

And tonight, Wenwan had a smile on her face, as beautiful as a flower, and her expression was naturally relaxed.

Obviously, now that she had gotten out of financial pressure and found a job that suited her, she was happier and more relaxed than ever before.

Chen Fan thought to himself, perhaps this is the real her.

"Actually, I invited you to dinner today, and I really want to thank you."

"Thanks for your help in finding me a job and making me some money."

Chen Fan quickly smiled and waved, "Don't mention it, it's not a big deal."

Wenwan shook her head with unusual determination.

"No. It may be a small matter to you, but it is a big deal to me."

"And I always feel guilty and a little embarrassed about this matter. Because you wrote the script, but I took it for granted."

"Not only did I get the script for free, I also sold it for money and found a job..."

There was a hint of self-blame in her gentle tone.

"If it were in the past, I would never do such a thing, and I would even feel disgusted."

'But now... I didn't even hesitate, I just did it..."

“Because I have to stay alive first.”

Speaking of this, Wenwan's eyes turned red.

"Before my mother passed away, I promised her that I would live well."

Chen Fan quickly took out a tissue and handed it over.

"Thank you."

Wenwan gently wiped away her tears and suddenly burst into laughter.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Chen Fan said seriously: "Actually... you don't have to be embarrassed."

"We are friends, and friends should help each other. Besides, it's just a script, right? It's nothing, right?"

"I think you have a serious mental disorder."

Wen Wan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Maybe you are right."

Chen Fan smiled and joked: "If you were still a teacher in school, I would give you a thumbs up for doing this."

"But you will have to work hard in society in the future, especially if you are still in the entertainment industry. If you continue to maintain this kind of mental cleanliness, you will have a very tiring life in the future."

She stared at Chen Fan gently, pursing her little red lips.

"You mean... to make me thicker-skinned in the future?"

Chen Fan nodded: "That's what I mean."

Wen Wan smiled and nodded, "I understand. I will slowly change it in the future."

Chen Fan picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the food in front of him with a smile.

"After all that talk, can I eat now?"

Wenwan's pretty face suddenly turned red.

"Sorry, I just talked too much. Let's eat."

Chen Fan picked up a piece of beef and tasted it with a smile.

"It's delicious. The cooking is good."

Wenwan smiled, "If it tastes good, eat more. These were originally prepared for you."

"Then I won't be polite."

I don't know if it's because of the conversation just now, but the relationship between the two of them is obviously no longer as tangled and awkward as before.

Especially Wenwan, who opened her heart, became much more cheerful and relaxed.

The two of them chatted and drank a bottle of red wine without realizing it. They poured beer and continued

Halfway through the meal, Wen Wan suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Fan and whispered.

"There is one more thing...I want to discuss with you."

Chen Fan was eating a piece of pork chop, and he looked over when he heard this.

"What?"
