How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 177: Speaking the truth after drinking?

Bai Lu returned to the table with three cans of beer, keeping one for himself and giving one each to Zhang Wen and Gao Yue.

"Snapped!"

Bai Lu was the first to open the can, then held it high and said loudly: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang, for dinner. Cheers!"

Zhang Wen picked up the can and felt the cool touch on his palm, which was very comfortable.

He had been busy in the kitchen for nearly two hours without drinking a sip of water. Although he never drank alcohol, he felt particularly at home when he saw the wheat juice.

Gao Yue didn't want to drink at first because she drove here by herself, but when she saw the two people next to her holding up their cans, she felt a little out of place if she didn't drink.

Thinking that he could call a designated driver or stay the night here, he opened the beer and raised the can.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

The wheat juice went down my throat into my stomach, and for a moment I felt like my soul was leaving my body.

Zhang Wen closed his eyes tightly until the cold smell of alcohol faded away, then he opened his eyes again.

Comfortable!

He didn't bother to be polite with Gao Yue and Bai Lu. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised beef and started eating.

Well, it’s considered a normal performance, but it’s a slight decline compared to when he worked part-time in a restaurant.

I haven't cooked for a long time and I'm not very good at it.

Bai Lu looked at the table full of delicious dishes and didn't know which one to try first. Seeing Teacher Zhang eating a piece of beef, he also picked up a piece of beef.

It was fresh, slightly spicy, soft and delicate, and her eyes lit up when she ate it.

I originally thought it just looked good, but I never expected it to taste so good too. It’s on par with what you get in restaurants.

Maybe because she cooked and ate at home, she felt a completely different feeling than eating out. It was very comfortable and completely to her liking.

"Delicious!" Bai Lu praised generously, "Teacher Zhang, I didn't expect you could cook. That's amazing."

After saying that, he went to pick up other dishes.

"Well, this fish boiled in salt and pepper is also delicious. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and fresh."

"And this pork elbow, it's fat but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. I actually love eating this pork elbow, but because I have to worry about my image, I haven't eaten it for a long time. I feel so happy today."

Bai Lu said as he ate that he was just surprised at first, but he didn't know when he became moved.

too delicious.

Gao Yue looked at Xiao Lu in surprise. As a celebrity, what high-end restaurants had he not been to? Even at Michelin-rated restaurants, he had never seen him enjoy himself as much as he was now.

Is it really that delicious?
A hint of suspicion arose in her heart, thinking that the other party was only praising the food because he had eaten the food made by the person he liked.

In line with the principle that "practice is the sole criterion for testing truth", she took a bite of the Beijing-style shredded pork with sweet and sour sauce and was instantly amazed. It was even more delicious than the one made by her elder sister.

She tried the dishes Xiaolu mentioned again. They were all delicious. She even wanted to have a bowl of rice.

There’s no way, these dishes are so delicious that I feel like I can eat at least two bowls, no, three bowls.

She couldn't help but look at the man sitting opposite her with a very complicated look in her eyes. She originally thought that she already knew him very well, but she didn't expect that he would bring her another surprise.

"Teacher Zhang, you are so amazing. Can you tell me if there is anything you can't do?" Bai Lu's eyes lit up when he looked at the man opposite him.

When she was explaining the script during the day, her heart was full of admiration. Now that she was eating such delicious food, she had begun to admire this man in her heart.

It is not easy to do one thing well, but Teacher Zhang gave her the feeling that he was omnipotent. Not only did he know everything, but he could also do everything well.

"Actually, there are many things I don't know. What you see is just what I happen to know." Zhang Wen said while eating.

"Modest, really modest." Bai Lu said. The more the other party was like this, the more she felt that he was a hidden talent.

Gao Yue also felt that this man was very secretive. If he hadn't taken the initiative to cook, who would have known that his cooking skills were so good?

Huh?
If the other party takes the initiative to cook for Xiaolu, does it mean that he is interested in Xiaolu?

Just like peacocks, male peacocks will keep spreading their feathers to attract the attention of female peacocks in order to court.

What is the difference between the other person's behavior of showing off and a male peacock spreading its tail feathers?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, and even the food that she had thought was delicious just now did not seem so fragrant at this moment.

Xiaolu likes Teacher Zhang, and Teacher Zhang also likes Xiaolu. Isn’t this a mutual love?
and many more!

As Xiaolu's manager, she should be happy for her, but why did she feel uncomfortable? It was like something was lost.

She picked up the can on the table and gulped down a few mouthfuls. She drank half the can of wheat juice but felt nothing.

Why is this?

She drank the remaining half can of wheat juice in one gulp, but still felt nothing.

Bai Lu noticed that his agent was acting strangely. Why didn't he eat such delicious food and just drink?
"Sister Yue, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing, just a little thirsty." Gao Yue said expressionlessly, then got up and walked into the kitchen, took a few more cans of beer and put them on the dining table.

With a "pop", he opened another can and drank it in big gulps.

"?"

Bai Lu blinked, his heart full of doubts.

She is not blind. Sister Yue doesn't look thirsty at all, but more like she is drinking alone.

Could it be that Sister Yue has something on her mind?
She thought about it for a moment. With Sister Yue's personality, she wouldn't say anything even if she had something on her mind. If she wanted to know, the only way was to let her drink more. Once she was drunk, she would naturally talk more.

"Sister Yue, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. Let's have a drink." Bai Lu picked up the can and took the initiative to clink the can with the one in Sister Yue's hand.

Gao Yue didn't say anything, but still raised the beer and took several big gulps, wishing he could finish the whole can of wheat juice in one breath.

Bai Lu did not stop her. In her opinion, the more Sister Yue drank, the better, so that she wouldn't have to urge her to drink.

Soon, Gao Yue finished the second can of beer, and Bai Lu immediately opened another can and placed it in front of Sister Yue. The service was very good.

"Why don't you drink?" Gao Yue took the beer and asked Xiaolu beside him.

"Drink, I'll drink." Bai Lu drank the rest of the can, then opened another can and clinked glasses with Sister Yue. Seeing her drink it, he followed suit.

While eating, Zhang Wen looked at the two women sitting opposite him in confusion. Didn’t they say the food was delicious? Why didn’t they eat the food but kept drinking instead?

Especially the leg essence, one mouthful after another, the drunkard even knew to pair it with a plate of peanuts, while the other party didn't eat anything and just drank it straight.

what's the situation?
Zhang Wen looked at the dishes on the table. Could it be that the dishes he made didn't suit the two women's tastes? Was the praise just a consolation, just like how he had comforted Bai Lu before?
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he met Tui Jing and Bai Lu in the company cafeteria. Their plates were either filled with fruits or vegetables, there was never any meat, and even oil was rarely seen.

The dishes he made today, including braised beef, braised pork elbow, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce, are all meat. Although there are also seafood such as boiled fish in salt and pepper, crayfish in garlic sauce, and fried crab in typhoon shelter, they are all high in oil.

Looking at it this way, there was indeed no dish that the two girls liked.

But who cares?

If he doesn't cook what he likes when he cooks, does he cook what others like? He is not a chef.

Furthermore, after so many years of evolution, humans have finally reached the top of the food chain, but they end up eating vegetarian food. This is a shame for human evolution.

Eat it or not! Zhang Wen looked at the two women drinking big mouthfuls of wine, and he began to eat meat big mouthfuls.

There is no kitchen in the training center. I don’t know when I will be able to make my favorite food next time.

The most important thing is that he was reluctant to buy so many ingredients by himself, it was too extravagant.

In the past, I had no money, so even if I earned money, I had to pay off my debts and was reluctant to spend it. But now, I have saved enough money to pay off my debts, but it is still far from enough to buy a house.

He calculated that his current savings could only buy a bedroom. He still needed to work hard to buy a living room, bathroom, kitchen and other things.

"Snapped!"

Gao Yue put the empty can in her hand on the dining table with a very loud sound, expressing her inner emotions through actions.

Bai Lu handed the sixth can of beer to Sister Yue, and she also drank four cans because she was the one drinking with them.

Seeing Sister Yue resting her arms on the table, her eyes gradually becoming blurry, she felt that the time was almost up, so she asked while drinking, "Sister Yue, why did you drink so much today? Is there something on your mind?"

"No, I'm not worried. I'm just happy for you." Gao Yue said with a faint smile on her face.

"Happy for me? Why should you be happy for me?" Bai Lu asked curiously.

She only went out for a short while in the morning today and stayed at home the rest of the time. She did not participate in any business activities, did not receive any endorsements from businesses, and did not pick up any money when she went out. I really don't know what there is to be happy about for her.

Gao Yue slowly raised her head, her drunken eyes first looking at Bai Lu beside her, then at the man opposite her. She forced a smile and said, "Because you like him and he likes you, and you two are in love with each other, how can I not be happy for you?"

"what?"

Bai Lu was slightly stunned. She did say in front of Sister Yue that she liked Teacher Zhang, but it was just to deliberately provoke Sister Yue. But where did she hear that Teacher Zhang also liked her?
Zhang Wen was also a little confused at this moment. The two women were drinking, and he was just a meat-eating crowd. How did they turn the conversation to him while drinking?
He is innocent.

As for liking Bai Lu, he likes any woman who is rich and pretty.

Bai Lu pursed his lips and asked doubtfully, "Sister Yue, how do you know that Teacher Zhang and I are in love?"

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes. If he didn't like you, would he cook for you? He has been to my house so many times, but he has never cooked a meal for me." Gao Yue said at the end, showing an aggrieved expression.

After hearing this, Bai Lu immediately understood why Sister Yue was drinking alone.

Jealousy. She was jealous of Teacher Zhang cooking for her, and she took this behavior as love, so...

After thinking it through, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, but a question also popped up in his mind.

What if what Sister Yue said is true?

What if Teacher Zhang really cooks for her because he likes her?
Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed red, and she secretly glanced at Teacher Zhang opposite her. She had already had a good impression of her because of her explanation of the script and cooking, but now after hearing what Sister Yue said, her heart began to beat wildly, and a second question popped up in her mind.

If Teacher Zhang pursues her, will she agree?
agree?

We haven't known each other for long, isn't it too hasty?

disagree?
But Teacher Zhang is really nice...

Bai Lu couldn't help but feel conflicted.

However, this contradictory emotion did not last long, because she realized a more serious problem, that is Sister Yue.

Sister Yue likes Teacher Zhang.

The relationship between the three has become a complicated triangle.

Bai Lu felt her head was in a mess. She had originally wanted to help Sister Yue, but ended up getting herself into trouble. Looking at the beer in her hand, she picked up the can and started drinking, finishing half of it in one breath.

Too much energy!
She stopped halfway, burped without caring about her image, and then continued drinking.

The relationship was too difficult to handle, and she just wanted to get drunk.

Originally, Gao Yue was drinking alone, but now the situation has been reversed.

"Ah!"

Gao Yue laughed, "You are very happy too, right? Lovers finally get married, I really envy you."

Bai Lu shook her head and said, "No, Sister Yue, you've got it wrong. Between Teacher Zhang and me..." She stopped talking, not knowing how to explain.

Should I tell the truth?
But Teacher Zhang is still around.

Alas, if I had known this would happen, I should have invited Teacher Zhang out for dinner, and none of this would have happened tonight.

"How far has your relationship progressed? Can you tell me about it? Living together?" Gao Yue asked.

"No, really not." Bai Lu hurriedly denied.

"Snapped!"

Gao Yue slammed the table fiercely, "I don't believe it."

He stood up unsteadily and said as he walked, "I'll go upstairs and take a look. You must be living together."

"Sister Yue, be careful." Bai Lu stood up and wanted to help Sister Yue, but he tripped and stumbled forward, finally hitting the wall.

"Bang!"

Bai Lu sat on the ground, covering his head with his hands, grimacing in pain and feeling dizzy.

Zhang Wen hurried over and helped Bai Lu up from the ground.

Gao Yue turned around and saw this scene. He immediately stopped walking, then staggered back and threw himself on Zhang Wen.

"Tell me, between me and Xiaolu, who do you choose?"

"what?"

Zhang Wen was stunned by the question.

Is this woman drunk? How could she say such a thing?

At this moment, he was holding Bai Lu, who was crying in pain, with one hand, and Gao Yue was holding him tightly with the other hand. Although he had imagined the scene of being hugged by women countless times, when this moment really came, the feeling was even better than the fantasy.

"I want them all. Is that not okay?" Zhang Wen said.

Only children make choices, adults of course want them all.

"You want both? Do you want to be hugged by girls on both sides?" Gao Yue asked loudly.

"Well, is it not possible?" Zhang Wen asked back.

"Of course not!" Gao Yue said unhappily.

"But you are good friends. I really can't bear to see you become enemies because of me." Zhang Wen said distressedly.

"Then, what if Xiaolu and I don't know each other?" Gao Yue asked expectantly.

"I can introduce you to each other. You can become best friends and best sisters. As the old saying goes: more friends, more paths; more sisters, more companions. You need to open up your horizons."

Gao Yue looked at the man in front of her with drunken eyes, and it took her a long time to utter a word.

"shameless!"

"..."
