Chapter 102

"Save some for me." After Shentu Mo finished saying this, he left the apartment alone.

Originally, having four more people in the kitchen had already given her a headache, but not long after, even Ruan Lin and Mu Wei came to join in the fun. What surprised her, however, was that Ruan Lin actually knew how to roll dumpling skins, and rolled them quite beautifully. He said it was because every New Year's Eve, his mother would give the servants a holiday and then take the whole family to wrap dumplings together. If you didn't work, you didn't eat, and he was responsible for the dumpling skins.

"……Can you make me a bowl of noodles?" Ruan Lin suddenly paused his movements and requested of He Lele.

"Sure, wide or thin?"

"Either is fine."

The dough used for noodles needed less water than the dough used for dumplings, so He Lele returned to the kitchen to knead the dough again. For the whole morning, the seven of them tossed back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table. It wasn't until two in the afternoon that the seven of them finally sat at the table, each with a large bowl, ready to start eating.

"So fragrant! I'm going to start!" Watching Rong Qingya shouted, holding a fork.

"Wait!" Qin Zhixiu suddenly stopped her, "Can... can we take a picture?"

"Ah! That's right, that's right! I'll go get the camera! My sister and I just bought it yesterday!"

A moment later, "One, two, three... Cheese!"

Being crowded in the middle by everyone, He Lele, who was very unaccustomed to such a position, shifted her body uncomfortably, but still smiled softly at the lens on the tripod when Watching Rong Qingya said "Cheese."

After taking the picture, the others started eating, while Watching Rong Qingya took the camera to check the photos just taken.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong? Didn't it turn out well?" He Lele walked over and asked, looking at the camera screen.

Watching Rong Qingya secretly glanced at Qin Zhixiu, then whispered to He Lele, "Brother Zhixiu smiled!"

He Lele looked at Qin Zhixiu, who had a gentle smile in the photo, and didn't understand.

"There's one thing fans don't know the reason for, and that is that Brother Zhixiu never smiles when taking pictures with people, whether it's with other stars or fans."

"……"

"And... he has never mentioned his family either, so we are all guessing if it's because of family factors or something."

Hearing this, He Lele lowered her eyes slightly and looked toward Qin Zhixiu, but happened to meet his smiling eyes, which startled her. Fortunately, the doorbell outside the apartment rang at the right time, allowing her to hide her embarrassment.

The way Qin Zhixiu smiled... was too... to use a trendier word—it was too captivating.

She didn't recognize the person who came, but she seemed to have seen him somewhere. That uncle said he was Ruan Lin's manager. After Ruan Lin carried his noodles to the monitoring room to confirm, He Lele opened the iron gate to let the middle-aged uncle, who had graying temples but a glowing face, drive his car in.

"Eating only now?" Wu Ming smiled and handed over a beautifully packaged small square box. "Happy birthday."

"Uncle Wu, you're too polite." Ruan Lin took the gift. The birthday on his public profile was fake. In Muse, besides Aunt Yun, only this Uncle Wu knew his real birthday.

"Is today your birthday?" He Lele was originally pouring tea for Wu Ming and happened to hear it.

"Yeah, why? Want to celebrate my birthday? Or want to give me a gift?" Ruan Lin looked at He Lele, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.

"Please enjoy your meal." He Lele didn't even look at him, smiled slightly at Wu Ming, and retreated.

"……Ruan Lin, you... and this Miss He?"

Ruan Lin kept looking at He Lele's figure until she disappeared into the hallway before he turned his head back to look at the elder who had always helped him in his career.

"Mm." He nodded. He naturally understood what Uncle Wu meant. Although he hadn't won this woman over yet, it was only a matter of time, so it didn't matter if he admitted it now.

"So... is Miss He unhappy with you filming passionate scenes?"

"No, it's my own problem, it has nothing to do with her." Seeing Wu Ming's disbelieving face, Ruan Lin had to confess, "In fact, she hasn't accepted me yet."

"Uh... huh?" Wu Ming frowned and looked at Ruan Lin, then pondered for a long time, finally took out his phone, walked to the window to make a call, and finally said to Ruan Lin.

"The crew can't drag this out any longer. If you haven't found a way to solve the problem, I do have a suggestion."

"……What?"

Five minutes later.

"What? You want me to temporarily take over Ruan Lin's assistant work?"

"Yes, sorry to trouble you, Miss He."
