âI got this on the film set.â Gu Huanhuan didnât want Wen Chi to worry, so she glossed over the reason for her red and swollen face.
âYour scene partner has taken it a bit too far, no?â Did they have to take things so seriously on a film set?
âItâs more realistic that way. Iâm hungry. Why donât we start cooking?â Gu Huanhuan changed the subject.
âWait first. Iâll get you some ice.â Wen Chi got up and walked to the kitchen.
Gu Huanhuan was very moved. Wen Chi was so very thoughtful and considerate.
Wen Chi made Gu Huanhuan lie down on the sofa as he gently applied an ice pack to her face. As they were very close, his masculine scent lingered around the tip of her nose. She was a little distracted and ignored the coldness on her face.
After applying the ice pack for a while and seeing that the swelling had visibly subsided, Wen Chi got up.
âDonât take things too far on the film set next time. Even if the scene calls for it, thereâs still room for discussion with the director, right?â After Wen Chi and Gu Huanhuan started dating, he started to come into contact with such knowledge.
Gu Huanhuan stuck her tongue out at him and decided to never let him visit her on the set. He would probably be even angrier if he saw her being slapped live.
âOkay. Iâm starving now. Can we please fill my stomach first?â Gu Huanhuan said with a pitiful look on her face.
As expected, Wen Chiâs heart melted. He looked at her dotingly as he said, âLunch will be ready soon.â
âIâll help too. Itâll be faster with the two of us.â Gu Huanhuan said as she walked into the kitchen.
They worked as a team in the kitchen with one person making soup and the other person prepping the other ingredients. Gu Huanhuan suddenly felt that this was a picture of her ideal life.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wen Chi worked methodically. The two of them chatted and laughed as they worked. Soon, they completed making three dishes and a soup.
Duck soup with morel mushroom, beef stir-fried with chili peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried clams. The dishes all looked delicious. Gu Huanhuan was a little surprised. She didnât expect Wen Chi to be such a good cook.
She couldnât help but praise him. âHoney, you are a pretty good cook. Youâve inherited Auntieâs genes.â
âIâve been reading recipes lately and am totally self-taught.â Wen Chi said proudly. He also felt that he was quite talented in cooking. If he werenât a doctor, he could consider being a chef.
âYouâre so talented.â Gu Huanhuan said adoringly. She felt that smart people could learn anything quickly.
Wen Chi was on cloud nine because of Gu Huanhuanâs compliment.
After they brought the dishes to the dining table and scooped out two bowls of soup, Gu Huanhuan took out her phone habitually to snap and upload a photo to her Weibo account. She even titled her post, âLook, smell and taste so good. Itadakimasu!â
In less than five minutes, she received thousands of comments.
IâmNotAPuppy wrote, âPrepared with love. I also want to eat.â
LandscapePainting commented, âI see two bowls. Is this a date?â
JustACasualFan commented, âMy Huanhuan is so domesticated. Whoever marries her is so lucky.â
SelfService wrote, âIâm waiting for the official announcement. Iâm filled with love when I see the food. Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, come out quickly.â
PerfectMatch wrote, âHuanhuan didnât appear on the photo. No like.â
IâmDetectiveA wrote, âThis is so obviously a date. One person canât finish so many dishes. Iâm guessing itâs for two. If they couldnât show their faces, it means that⦠(contents omitted on purpose here).â

The comments section was flooded.
Gu Huanhuan and Wen Chi sat down facing each other and drank some soup. When she opened Weibo again, her mind went blank momentarily.
Just a simple photo like that and her fans were all playing Sherlock Holmes. Gu Huanhuan was a little dumbfounded.
However, she did not intend to clarify anything. She was going to let nature take its course.
She didnât know if she should laugh or cry as she looked through the comments. But it seemed that most of her fans wished for her to find her prince charming soon.
She also looked forward to the day when she would hold Mr. Wenâs hand and introduce him to all her fans.
