A few hours passed quickly, and most of the guests had a good time, except for Gu Chengfeng and Qin Yushen, who had a small disagreement. Qin Yushen had not helped Gu Chengfeng with his coat and instead left it on the table.

Gu Chengfeng was unhappy about the dirty table and immediately scolded Qin Yushen.

So far, Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen’s vote count had skyrocketed at a rocket speed, even though everyone knew they were fake. People still wanted to vote for them because their interaction was more interesting.

In the afternoon, there was another activity at the club, and after receiving the provided 50 yuan from the program group, everyone had free time to dine, and the program group did not follow along.

On the way, only Gu Chengfeng was more agitated, while He Qiong and Xie Jing found the 50 yuan for the meal acceptable, even though they thought it was a small amount.

With the 50 yuan note in hand, Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen walked into a small, ordinary restaurant.

Although it was a convenient fast food restaurant, the prices were not cheap either.

The vegetarian box costs 15 yuan, while the non-vegetarian box costs 25 yuan.

As we walked to the glass counter, Wen Zhi stared at the boxes of meal and was starving.

“Sisi, what kind of boxed meal do you want to eat?”

Si Mingchen: “I can eat anything.”

For 50 yuan, the boxed rice with meat was exactly two servings.

Wen Zhi was about to pay when he suddenly glanced at the large chicken leg behind the counter and asked, “Can I choose the boxed rice with the chicken leg?”

The waiter replied, “Yes, 35 yuan with chicken legs.”

Wen Zhi exclaimed, “So expensive?”

The waiter: “Adding a chicken leg is 10 yuan each.”

Wen Zhi sighed, realizing that he didn’t know the cost of living as he didn’t handle the everyday necessities. One chicken leg is quite expensive.

“Can I exchange my braised pork with potatoes for a chicken leg?”

The waiter smiled, “No, you can’t.”

At this point, Si Mingchen opened his mouth, “One 15 yuan box of meal and one 25 yuan box of meal with a chicken leg.”

The waiter: “OK.”

Wen Zhi rushed to stop the waiter and looked at Si Mingchen in confusion. Si Mingchen said, “I am a vegetarian.”

Wen Zhi frowned: “No, I won’t eat the chicken leg anymore.”

Si Mingchen: “I don’t have much of an appetite today, and you know I don’t like to eat meat.”

Wen Zhi still shook his head and said to the waiter, “Two 25 yuan boxes of meals.”

The restaurant provided free soup, which Wen Zhi tasted and found it to be good, but Si Mingchen didn’t like the mushrooms in it.

Wen Zhi drank some water to fill up first, then picked out all the mushrooms in a bowl of soup and handed it to Si Mingchen. “The taste is not bad. Try it.”

Si Mingchen looked at the cleaned mushrooms on the napkin and asked in a deep voice, “Do you remember that I don’t eat mushrooms?”

Wen Zhi nodded, “Yes, I heard Sang Qi say that you are a picky eater.”

When he heard the name Sang Qi, Si Mingchen’s mood became low, and he was somewhat distracted when he spoke, “Your memory is quite good.”

Wen Zhi curled his lips, “Of course I can remember everything about the person I like.”

This sentence made Si Mingchen feel touched, and he picked up the soup that Wen Zhi had helped him pour and said, thank you, and then drank it all.

Wen Zhi’s eyes lit up, “Is it good? I picked the mushrooms very cleanly.”

Si Mingchen: “Mmm, it tastes good.”

There were a few stalks of coriander floating in the bottom of the soup, which Si Mingchen also did not eat, and even had a slight allergy. But it was only a slight redness of the skin, so it was not a big problem.

Wen Zhi gulped down his rice and stared at Si Mingchen’s lunch box from time to time.

Si Mingchen pushed his lunch box to Wen Zhi: “You eat first, I’ll eat after you’ve finished.”

Wen Zhi didn’t hesitate to take a few pieces of meat from his lunchbox, and also gave some of his own meat to Si Mingchen.

Si Mingchen had a bigger appetite and didn’t have much in his lunchbox, so he didn’t want his big baby to go hungry.

Wen Zhi ate very happily, although he chewed slowly, each bite was full. However, as he grew older, he rarely ate so ungracefully.

Si Mingchen: “Slow down, don’t choke.”

Wen Zhi nodded: “Okay husband.”

At that moment, Qin Yushen and Gu Chengfeng walked in. Gu Chengfeng was still complaining about the miserliness of the programme team. But when he glanced down and saw Wen Zhi, his expression was a little off-balanced, with a hint of disgust.

Si Mingchen noticed the subtle expression on Gu Chengfeng’s face and wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue before putting down his chopsticks, his face expressionless.

He had a cleaning fetish and carried a spray with him to remove the odors, which he sprayed twice on his clothes.

Wen Zhi curled his smiling eyes and teased, “You’re quite refined, even spraying this thing when eating.”

Seeing that Wen Zhi had become noticeably rough after losing his memory, the refined young man was no longer there. Si Mingchen put on a faint smile and said, “I smoke, and someone doesn’t like the smell of smoke. I’ve gotten used to using this after getting married.”

Wen Zhi asked knowingly, “Who is that person?”

The restaurant was small, and at that moment Qin Yushen and Gu Chengfeng sat down at the small table next to them with their plates and greeted each other briefly.

Si Mingchen nodded and did not speak to them.

Then Gu Chengfeng glanced at Si Mingchen before turning to Wen Zhi and saying, “I heard that you turned down a lot of work recently, seems like it was because of a man?”

This topic is very sensitive for celebrities, and Gu Chengfeng was clearly stirring up trouble.

Wen Zhi retorted, “Don’t listen to gossip, otherwise your brain will become dull. Especially those who can’t judge for themselves.”

Gu Chengfeng suppressed his temper and sneered. In the past two years, he had never won an argument with Wen Zhi.

Seeing that Si Mingchen was also there, Gu Chengfeng said in a joking tone, “Don’t rush, I’m just listening. I’m surprised you’re here for the love variety show this time. After all, everyone says that the uncle behind you who provides resources doesn’t like you to be in a romance show.”

Gu Chengfeng emphasized the words “love variety show,” then glanced at Si Mingchen, expecting his reaction.

He had just learned that Wen Zhi and Si Mingchen had already ranked first in the votes and were likely to occupy the top floor without any surprises.

He could pretend not to see when someone like Wen Zhi occasionally gained power, But Si Mingchen’s background was well-known, and if Wen Zhi were to establish a relationship with him, he would surely suppress Gu Chengfeng in future.

The fact that Wen Zhi had a wealthy supporter behind him already put pressure on Gu Chengfeng. If Si Mingchen was also taken by Wen Zhi, then his excellent resources might be snatched away.

At this moment, Si Mingchen looked at Gu Chengfeng and his voice was clear and cold: “What Little Zhi said is true, some people are naturally fond of creating rumours and spreading them around to slander other people’s reputation.”

Gu Chengfeng did not expect Si Mingchen to speak up for Wen Zhi, so he softened his words for a moment, “I just heard the rumour.”

Si Mingchen looked at him quietly, but the look in his eyes was very oppressive.

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known that I had been misrepresented as a wealthy uncle.”
