While the other groups were still looking at each other, Lu Liruan took the lead and chose to sit down in the seat closest to the sweet and sour pork ribs. She placed her hands on the table and looked at the host earnestly.

Their faces practically screamed: "Can I eat now? Is it really not time to eat yet?"

The sweet and sour pork ribs are made with a rich sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds, resulting in a strong sweet and sour flavor.

Lin Qianyou was still considering where to sit. She didn't want to sit next to Lu Zheng at all, so she turned her attention to Cheng Nianzhi.

Just now in the room, she secretly watched the replays of other live streams. Fu Tingshen seemed to be ignoring everyone except Shi Jingyun, while Xiao Yiyi and Lu Yuan were a pure love couple.

So, Lin Qianyou set her sights on Cheng Nianzhi. Cheng Nianzhi seemed to have a good temper and be easygoing, and he also had good on-screen presence. Surprisingly, he was able to stand out even when paired with Lu Liruan...

Let Lu Zheng and Lu Liruan torment each other, Lin Qianyou thought to herself. Before Lu Liruan could get away with it, anyone with a brain would choose her as their partner.

After all, Lu Liruan is now burdened with the reputation of being Lu Zheng's simp, and her reputation is getting worse and worse. It would be better for her to form a couple with him, and the two of them would be a win-win situation.

Lin Qianyou planned to find an opportunity to give Cheng Nianzhi a hint, so she casually sat down on the other side of Cheng Nianzhi.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng wanted to move to the seat next to Lu Liruan, but before he could get close, he heard Xiao Yiyi's voice: "Liruan, let me sit next to you!"

Then he sat down with Lu Yuan.

Lu Zheng stood frozen for a moment, then had no choice but to obediently sit down next to Lin Qianyou.

Shi Jingyun and Fu Tingshen sat down in the remaining two seats.

During the filming of variety shows, the meals are not just about eating. In these warm and everyday moments, the guests always chat about interesting topics.

But there's always an exception among the group. Lu Liruan focused intently on eating, and the sweet and sour pork ribs tasted just as good as she had imagined. Lu Liruan was even planning to ask the production team after filming which restaurant she ordered the delivery from.

"Teacher Lu, is it delicious?" The director's soft voice came from off-screen.

"It's delicious! Director, would you like to join us?" Lu Liruan casually wiped her mouth and asked earnestly.

"No need, I'm not old enough to have such a good appetite." The director looked at the barrage of "hahahahahaha" and felt that it wasn't quite the atmosphere he had expected.

[A person who eats hard has a hard-earned spirit; a person who eats hard needs a bowl to eat.]

[I noticed everyone's eyes kept drifting towards that plate of sweet and sour pork ribs while they were chatting. Lu Liruan was eating it so deliciously! I want to order takeout too!]

[She was in charge of eating, and Cheng Nianzhi was in charge of talking. It's hilarious! Judging from her lip movements, she actually said to Cheng Nianzhi, "You eat! He doesn't have time to eat! Why don't you switch places with him?"]

Actually, Lu Liruan didn't want to avoid answering the questions; it's just that the questions were too targeted, for example:

Who is the person you miss the most?

When did your most recent relationship end?

In any case, once Lu Liruan answers, the answer will definitely be related to the other person at the table.

Most of the questions were raised by Lin Qianyou, and Lu Liruan also noticed that Lu Zheng's gaze kept drifting in her direction.

You want me to generate buzz for you? Dream on!

Just as Lu Liruan was finishing her fourth piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, the conversation turned to their preferred type of person.

Suddenly, Lu Zheng spoke up: "I like independent girls who have their own space and give their partner space, who have their own hobbies and are constantly improving themselves. I like the type who can grow together with me..."

[Isn't this the complete opposite of Lu Liruan? Zhengzheng is really being tactful, still rejecting Lu Liruan so politely. I hope Lu Liruan will know better and not be like a persistent leech!]

[Waaaaah, Zhengzheng, I'm ambitious and independent, can't you like me?~]

Who wouldn't like such a self-disciplined and motivated Zhengzheng? That scoundrel Lu, stay away from me!

In any case, Lu Zheng's words sent his fans into a frenzy once again.

Lu Liruan chewed on a piece of cantaloupe and thought to herself, "If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to someone who does. Who's really trying to freeload?"

If I don't confront you today, will you not be able to sleep well tonight? There are beggars who want food and people who want an explanation, but why are there people who want to be scolded?

Just as Lu Liruan was about to put down her chopsticks and give Lu Zheng a piece of her mind, Cheng Nianzhi chuckled. He only chuckled, but Lu Zheng felt that the other party was mocking him!

"Nianzhi hasn't said anything yet!" Xiao Yiyi rested her chin on her hand and looked over curiously.

"Me..." Cheng Nianzhi glanced at Lu Liruan seemingly casually, his eyes narrowing into a delicate arc.

“I like clingy people. I like them to share every little thing in their lives with me. I want to know all their joys and sorrows. Rather than the other person being clingy, I would say I'm the clingy one…” Cheng Nianzhi shrugged.

"I want to tell the person I like about the kitten I saw on the street today, the perfume I bought that suits them, the cool evening breeze, or just tell them, 'I like you very much,' and I hope I'll never get tired of saying it, and that they'll never get tired of listening..."

Cheng Nianzhi spoke slowly, but he made people involuntarily follow his words and imagine the scene.

[Holy crap, how romantic! Yeah, that explains why I felt a bit uncomfortable listening to Lu Zheng's words earlier. I'm already in a relationship, and you still want me to be independent? What's the point of giving you space? Are you suggesting I be independent with someone else too?]

[Ahhhhh! Cheng Nianzhi really looks like the male lead in an art film! The way he looked at Lu Liruan just now, so hopeful yet restrained, a faint yet overflowing emotion... Lu Liruan, stop eating! Look at him! Look at him!]

[Could we ask the production team to replay that scene in front of Lu Liruan ten times?! All you ever think about is eating!]

[Lu Zheng said he didn't like clingy people, and Cheng Nianzhi immediately said she did. Could they be talking about the same person?]

[It's just one person? Holy crap, he's really gone! I'm so happy!]

Lu Liruan finally put down her chopsticks, and Cheng Nianzhi saw complexity and pity in her eyes.

Lu Liruan thought to herself: Poor thing, must have been holding it in for too long?

As Cheng Nianzhi was gazed upon by her eyes, which were full of understanding and sympathy, he was momentarily lost in thought, a rare occurrence for him.

While the two of them were exchanging glances, Lu Zheng gritted his teeth. He was certain that Cheng Nianzhi was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Lu Zheng couldn't figure out what he had done to offend him, since the two of them had never crossed paths before.

The other party interrupted his conversation with Lu Liruan several times. Could it be that he really had feelings for Lu Liruan?

How can it be……

How could anyone like a brainless idiot like Lu Liruan?

Who does Cheng Nianzhi think he is? Even if he doesn't want it, it's not his turn!

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xiao Yiyi put down her chopsticks, just about to say something to ease the tension, when Lu Liruan asked, "Um... could you pass me the salad?"
