When they were on the first floor, Ma Xiaoshuai wanted to sneak away, but this time he was stopped by Chen Fan.
Wen Wan and Sophie were the only ones Chen Fan had to entertain. He also felt a bit awkward.
So no matter what, we can't let Ma Xiaoshuai get away this time.
Braised pork, poached chicken, noodles with scallion oil, eight-treasure duck, crystal shrimp... Chen Fan directly ordered a table full of delicious food.
Finally, she ordered a few bottles of beer so that Sophie could fully taste the delicious food in Shanghai.
The food was on the table, the four of them poured beer, and Chen Fan spoke with a smile.
"To be honest, an occasion like this is too formal. Even eating here wouldn't be enjoyable."
"This kind of place is the best. You can be free and at ease, without any pressure. You can eat whatever you want. You don't have to worry about other people's image."
Wen Wan smiled and joked, "You don't look like a rich boss at all. You're still the same as when you were a student."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Maybe I will never be able to integrate into mainstream society in this life."
"But I don't care. The most important thing in life is to live a carefree life."
Sophie sat aside without the translator, so she couldn't understand what they were talking about and could only smile awkwardly.
However, after several contacts, she had a better understanding of Chen Fan.
She could see that Chen Fan was rather averse to formal occasions such as upper-class society dinners.
This can be seen from the few times I have come into contact with him. The first time was in Sicily, when Chen Fan personally cooked for me.
Two days ago in Yunhai, I dragged myself and Mia to eat at the night market.
This time, I also ran to such an ordinary courtyard to eat.
It's not that Chen Fan is stingy, but Sophie feels that Chen Fan is more comfortable and relaxed in such an environment.
This guy is completely different from the young handsome men he knows.
After taking a sip of beer, Sophie's expression changed slightly.
"Your beer is different from the beer we drink in Europe. It seems to taste lighter."
Chen Fan smiled and used the serving chopsticks to help Sophie pick up a piece of boiled chicken.
"Come and try the food here. The food here is definitely different from what you have in Europe."
Sophie blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
In her circle of friends, everyone has their own set of tableware for meals.
She had never encountered anyone like Chen Fan who directly picked up food for her before.
Sophie wasn't angry, but rather a little embarrassed and excited.
At least it proves that Chen Fan did not treat her as an outsider, but as a friend.
I'm not used to using chopsticks and I failed after trying several times.
Wen Wan suggested with a smile: "How about asking for a knife and fork for you?"
"No need." Sophie quickly smiled and shook her head. Although she was not good at it, she liked to try different new things.
After trying several times, I finally picked up the piece of chicken, took a light bite, savored it carefully, and finally my eyes lit up.
“It tastes really good.”
Chen Fan pointed to the crystal shrimp next to him.
"Try this shrimp too. It should suit your taste."
Sophie took a bite, and her eyes widened instantly.
"This is so delicious. I didn't know you could cook shrimp this way."
Chen Fan laughed.
The cooking methods of Shanghai local cuisine are mainly braising, stewing and sugaring, with moderate saltiness and a sweet taste.
This flavor is most suitable for foreigners who are trying Chinese food for the first time.
This time, Sophie's taste buds had been completely opened. She no longer cared about her image, but lowered her head to savor the food. She couldn't understand the conversation between the three people next to her.
Chen Fan secretly observed that the princess loved the crystal shrimp and braised pork the most and she took several pieces.
It seems that I really enjoyed the meal this time.
Sophie couldn't help but burp, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand with a red face, looking up a little embarrassedly.
In the end, Chen Fan and the other two were just chatting happily and didn't care.
Sophie was a little embarrassed and stuck out her tongue.
If this happens abroad, burping while eating with your family would be considered very rude.
Wen Wan turned her head and looked over with a smile.
"How did Sister Sophie get to know Chen Fan?"
"Him?" Sophie turned her head to glance at Chen Fan, and explained with a chuckle, "We met in Los Angeles. I was drinking with friends at a bar and ran into some trouble. Chen Fan helped us solve it."
Wenwan looked at Chen Fan with a gentle smile.
"So you're a hero saving a beautiful woman. You really can attract the attention of beautiful women wherever you go."
Chen Fan laughed. "Coincidence. Pure coincidence. We just happened to run into each other."
"Hello, everyone. Excuse me."
At this moment, a sudden voice came from the side.
Chen Fan turned his head in confusion.
I found a young man in a vest standing behind me.
"What's up?"
"Excuse me, I'm having dinner with my friends in the yard downstairs."
The young man looked at Wen Wan with a smile.
"Excuse me, are you the celebrity Wen Wan?"
She smiled gently.
"You got the wrong person? But everyone in your family says that you look a lot like her."
"So it's not."
The young man immediately showed a trace of regret, and then smiled.
"But that's true. How could a celebrity like Wen Wan eat at a place like this?"
As he said this, he actually waved and shouted towards the yard below the rooftop.
"Fake. I'm not. Hey, you guys have to drink."
Upon hearing this, the guests at the table below immediately burst into laughter.
"Sorry to bother you guys."
The young man hesitated before leaving.
"Beautiful lady, can I take a photo with you?"
"Although you are not a celebrity, you look very similar."
Wen Wan glanced at Chen Fan, smiled and nodded without refusing.
The young man immediately took out his cell phone excitedly, came over to take a photo with Wen Wan, then thanked her repeatedly and turned to go downstairs.
Ma Xiaoshuai sighed, "It seems being a celebrity isn't that great after all. At least there's less ego. Even when I go out to eat I get recognized."
Wen Wan is very optimistic.
"It's pretty good, actually. I once wanted to go to a supermarket, but I was fully armed with sunglasses, a hat, and a mask, and people recognized me even inside."
Sophie said from the side: "People in your country are too crazy about chasing stars."
"Although there are some people who chase stars in Europe, celebrities are relatively relaxed and at ease."
Next, the two families talked about the customs and practices of their two countries with a smile.
Ten minutes later, the young man from the table downstairs came up again.
"Excuse me, beautiful lady. Could you please give me your contact information?"
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to get to know you."
Wen Wan smiled apologetically and shook her head.
"Sorry. This is not allowed."
The young man was not depressed, but rubbed his hands with a smile.
"Actually, I was playing truth or dare with my friend downstairs. I lost, so I have to accept the punishment."
"Could you please give me your contact information? Just consider it a favor."
"Otherwise, with so many friends watching, it would be embarrassing to just go on like this."
