The Rebirth of a Top Star

Song Shiyuan sat back on his sofa. Without those eyes beside him, Song Shiyuan was now in a very comfortable "domineering CEO" sitting position. He sent another message to Shen Nanqiao on his phone, inviting her to go out the next morning.

As expected, Shen Nanqiao refused again, saying, "This won't work, it's not appropriate."

"Just buying groceries." Song Shiyuan was a little speechless. He could always imagine Shen Nanqiao's current expression based on the messages she sent. Song Shiyuan felt that he understood Shen Nanqiao more and more.

Shen Nanqiao was also nestled on the sofa, sending a message to Song Shiyuan: "Because this action is just too ambiguous."

After that, Shen Nanqiao never replied to Song Shiyuan's messages again. In any case, Song Shiyuan couldn't figure out what kind of ambiguous situation this was.

Song Shiyuan opened his phone, and the messages he had searched for were displayed:

20 of the latest and most intimate places to go on a date with your girlfriend!

The first rule is to go to the market together to buy groceries in the morning.

Seeing that Shen Nanqiao still hadn't replied, Song Shiyuan gave the post on the forum a thumbs-up in reverse.

Shen Nanqiao has now learned Song Shiyuan's skill: disappearing when encountering a problem. Shen Nanqiao is now using this skill very well.

So the next morning, when Song Shiyuan knocked on Shen Nanqiao's door, he waited for five minutes before calling Shen Nanqiao. Fifteen minutes later, Shen Nanqiao came out of the house wearing a mask and a hoodie.

Shen Nanqiao didn't speak, but her steps followed closely behind Song Shiyuan's. However, she got up too suddenly and didn't hear the alarm she had set for herself. Shen Nanqiao kept her head down, and the large hood of her white hoodie only revealed a shadow of her face.

After the car came to a stop, Shen Nanqiao sat directly in the passenger seat. This was the same car that she had ridden in last time, Song Shiyuan's car. The angle of the passenger seat was the same one that Shen Nanqiao had adjusted herself last time, and it was very comfortable.

Shen Nanqiao, who was initially bothered by her morning grumpiness, inexplicably felt much better. She reached out and tidied her messy hair. Yes, Shen Nanqiao tidied herself up briefly, but didn't style her hair.

Song Shiyuan chose a relatively large vegetable market, the kind where there are no fixed stalls, but all the vegetables are very fresh in the morning.

Song Shiyuan is preparing to show off his skills at noon today, so he has naturally done his homework.

Shen Nanqiao didn't ask any questions and followed Song Shiyuan out of the car. Song Shiyuan was wearing a mask that Shen Nanqiao had casually given him.

Before getting out of the car, Shen Nanqiao asked Song Shiyuan, "Did you bring a mask?" Shen Nanqiao wondered if President Song, dressed casually and masculinely today, really didn't realize that her bare face was so eye-catching.

She actually said directly that she wasn't wearing one, and even asked Shen Nanqiao why she wasn't wearing one either.

Shen Nanqiao didn't explain much to him, but directly made a request: "If we go out together in the future, we must wear masks."

Shen Nanqiao doesn't explain, but she will make demands.

So in the end, Song Shiyuan, wearing a black mask, and Shen Nanqiao, who was fully armed and whose eyes were barely visible, stepped into the vegetable market.

As Shen Nanqiao walked and looked around, she turned back to ask Song Shiyuan, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"What happened to you at noon?" Song Shiyuan laughed when he heard Shen Nanqiao ask him. Shen Nanqiao was stunned by Song Shiyuan's expression.

"This damn man, doesn't he know how seductive he is?" Song Shiyuan smiled, and the smile in his eyes made Shen Nanqiao, as well as everyone around him, unable to help but stare at Song Shiyuan.

Shen Nanqiao suddenly realized that wearing the mask or not didn't really make much difference, as Song Shiyuan's figure and appearance were too eye-catching.

Shen Nanqiao resisted the urge to turn around and look at him. Song Shiyuan was just saying it casually; he was planning to make a good impression at noon, after all, the second post on Baidu Tieba said: "To win a woman's heart, you must win her stomach."

Song Shiyuan was fortunate that he had lived alone since he was a child, so even if his cooking skills weren't perfect, they were at least passable.

Song Shiyuan had already efficiently made a list last night, outlining what he needed to buy today.

Just now, when Song Shiyuan smiled at Shen Nanqiao, not only did Shen Nanqiao see Song Shiyuan, but Xiao Ye, who came out to buy groceries with her mother in the crowd, also saw it clearly.

She was already very familiar with Song Shiyuan and Shen Nanqiao, and now that she saw them in person, Xiao Ye could recognize the handsome man wearing a mask as Song Shiyuan without even having to think.

Immediately afterwards, Song Shiyuan moved closer to Shen Nanqiao and began to speak. Shen Nanqiao's large hoodie did make it a little difficult for Xiao Ye to recognize her, but in the end, it was confirmed.

Ono was so excited that she couldn't even hear her mother asking if she wanted potatoes for lunch. She sneakily walked up behind Shen Nanqiao and the other woman, pricked up her ears, and listened to what they were talking about.

The market was too noisy, and Xiao Ye didn't hear anything. She had only been behind Shen Nanqiao for less than a minute when she suddenly froze.

Wait a minute, Ono reflected on himself. His actions seemed a bit off. Was what he was doing the things a normal fan should do?

Ono was genuinely curious at first, whether about their relationship or the excitement of bumping into a celebrity, but now she has calmed down.

can not be like this.

Before Shen Nanqiao could turn around and look at her, Ono turned her body away, and Shen Nanqiao didn't see her.

Ono, who had just ignored her mother, was followed by her mother. Not knowing what was wrong with the child, Ono's mother reached out and grabbed her daughter's ear a second before Ono saw her, forcefully pulling the girl back.

Ono's heart was still pounding. With her last bit of strength, she took her phone out of her pocket and snapped a quick photo, which was just a blurry image of her back.

Ono thought to himself that even if he didn't say anything, he had to have evidence to prove that he had run into them by chance.

Although the photo wasn't very clear, Ono was very satisfied.

Shen Nanqiao always felt that someone was watching her from behind. In order to prevent what had happened before from happening again, Shen Nanqiao would always turn around and look behind her from time to time. Only Song Shiyuan was focused on looking at the vegetables he wanted to buy at the vegetable stall.

Shen Nanqiao turned around again. Although there were many people, the person Shen Nanqiao noticed at a glance was the pretty girl whose ear was being pulled by her mother.

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but laugh. Actually, places with a sense of everyday life are quite interesting.

Shen Nanqiao watched as the down-to-earth CEO squatted down in front of him, picking out tomatoes. Instead of casually tossing them into a bag, he carefully selected each one.

After making his selection, he handed the item to Shen Nanqiao, who was following behind him, saying, "Here, take this."

The two wandered around for half an hour, but they still hadn't finished exploring the entire market. When Shen Nanqiao entered through the small door, she had no idea that it was so big inside.

Shen Nanqiao remained silent and without complaint, rarely communicating with others, while Song Shiyuan was always busy with various tasks.

Shen Nanqiao accompanied people to the vegetable market. If all employers in the market were like this, Shen Nanqiao felt that making money wouldn't be too difficult.

After buying the vegetables, Shen Nanqiao was no longer carrying just tomatoes, but also other colorful vegetables. She followed Song Shiyuan into his car.

The round, plump tomatoes were sitting obediently on the leather seats in Song Shiyuan's car, looking very well-behaved.

Shen Nanqiao had already guessed that they were going to make lunch today. After tidying up and putting things in the refrigerator, Shen Nanqiao took out the apron she had bought yesterday from the top of the refrigerator. For some reason, she said to Song Shiyuan somewhat shyly, "You can use this one, the other one is too small."

Song Shiyuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shen Nanqiao's apron, which was still in its packaging. This was Song Shiyuan's genuine smile.

Shen Nanqiao watched as he smiled with narrowed eyes because of a new apron that hadn't even been unpacked. She couldn't help but linger her gaze on Song Shiyuan's face. Sometimes, he really looked so innocent, just like now.

Despite being the newly appointed CEO of a large corporation with absolute power, he was so easily satisfied by her. Shen Nanqiao, who had initially intended to join Song Shiyuan in smiling, suddenly withdrew her expression.

To be precise, it was like baring teeth that were suddenly pulled back.

Shen Nanqiao ignored what Song Shiyuan was doing, turned around and went out of the kitchen. She took out the slippers she had bought yesterday and put them in the shoe cabinet, then personally brought them to the kitchen and placed them in front of Song Shiyuan.

Song Shiyuan was still wearing the disposable slippers he had taken out from the gap. It wasn't Shen Nanqiao who arranged it for him today. Yesterday, Song Shiyuan, who had made up his mind that he would definitely wear his own slippers when he knocked on Shen Nanqiao's door again, didn't go upstairs after returning from the market.

Naturally, there's no time to change shoes; landlords who have visited once are very direct the second time.

Shen Nanqiao placed the slippers next to Song Shiyuan's feet and said before Song Shiyuan could even look over, "Wear these, see if they fit."

Song Shiyuan was truly shocked.

He was already surprised when he saw the apron; it was more than just an apron, it represented something deeper.

Now, seeing those slippers, for some reason, Song Shiyuan suddenly smiled as he looked at the unfashionable slippers placed beside his feet.

It felt like a very cute little thing.

Song Shiyuan smiled, and Shen Nanqiao felt an urge to smile along for some reason.

While smiling happily, Shen Nanqiao took the small apron that Song Shiyuan had used yesterday and put it on herself. The two began to divide the work.

Looking at their backs from behind, sometimes one might mistake them for an old married couple.

Shen Nanqiao took the vegetables that Song Shiyuan was going to clean and then cut them. Song Shiyuan couldn't help but glance at her, because Shen Nanqiao's movements were so skillful.

"What, do you need me to teach you?" Shen Nanqiao noticed Song Shiyuan's gaze and finally spoke up after holding back for a long time.

Song Shiyuan said, "It was just a bit of a surprise."

"I've been on my own for so many years, I can't just grow up starving."

After Shen Nanqiao finished speaking, she focused on the task at hand, and the two worked together very efficiently.

Song Shiyuan had planned to spend two hours preparing at noon today. Now, with this help, everything is much easier.

Shen Nanqiao always manages to bring me so many surprises.

Sometimes, Song Shiyuan would think that the two of them had been a couple for a long time, because they were just too in sync at certain points.

Only when Song Shiyuan occasionally calms down does he realize that he and Shen Nanqiao are not truly together yet.

Only then could Song Shiyuan's heart calm down and he think about the things he needed to face. For example, now that he was sitting at the dining table, he could see Shen Nanqiao's expression across the table, and only then did he feel that the two of them were dazzling.

Shen Nanqiao is really amazing. Song Shiyuan had to admit that some people are just born to act, and he had one right in front of him now.

Song Shiyuan couldn't be sure what kind of personality Shen Nanqiao really had. He had a gut feeling that Shen Nanqiao's current image was all in line with his own needs.

For example, what kind of person do you like?

Whenever Song Shiyuan calmed down, he wasn't as happy as he appeared. These past two days, Song Shiyuan felt like he had entered a specially made Eden for himself, a place where everything he wanted to have was contained.

But Song Shiyuan dared not ask directly. What if, once he did, everything vanished like a bubble?

These past two days, he's been like a young boy, immersed in the dream that Shen Nanqiao has woven for him. They've spent the afternoons together by the window, passing the time.

For dinner, Shen Nanqiao chose a very delicious private restaurant in Dingyungang.

Song Shiyuan knew that this was a restaurant that was very good at using the principle of scarcity to increase value. As for the specific details, he couldn't say that he had ordered food from their restaurant. If Shen Nanqiao asked, Song Shiyuan might say, "I just happen to have a small share in their company."

Shen Nanqiao and Song Shiyuan ate dinner at the coffee table in the living room. They were already tired of the silent lunch, so Shen Nanqiao decided to find a good variety show to watch together.

Unexpectedly, after switching only a few TV channels, I saw Shen Nanqiao's variety show being rebroadcast.

Yes, it's that dating reality show.

Just as Shen Nanqiao was about to quickly flip it over, Song Shiyuan grabbed her hand, stopping her and snatching the remote control from her hand. "This one is fine, I haven't watched this episode yet."

Shen Nanqiao was very familiar with this place; it was already one of the last few episodes of the seaside show. There was a major reason why she didn't want Song Shiyuan to watch this episode. It wasn't so much about his interactions with the other guests, but rather that she was unsure whether the sharp-eyed CEO Song would notice anything unusual about the scene because of that strange question she had asked.

Shen Nanqiao turned her head to look at the remote control that had already moved away from her. If she didn't stand up and walk around Song Shiyuan, she definitely wouldn't be able to get it.

Shen Nanqiao struggled with the decision for a long time, but in the end, she decided to just let it go and be with it.

And so, a delicious dinner and an emotionally gripping variety show began at the same time.
