Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

"Why are you sitting so straight? Don't be so tense." Lin Fengxia went out, and Shen Ze patted Dilireba, who was sitting upright with only half of her buttocks on the ground.

"Waaah, baby, I regret it a little. I shouldn't have come." Dilraba looked at the person leaving and suddenly went weak.

"Since we're already here, there's no need to regret it," Shen Ze said.

"It's all your fault! Why didn't you stop me? I acted impulsively. I wasn't planning on meeting your parents. What am I going to do now?" Dilraba held Shen Ze's hand, looking vulnerable.

"What are you thinking? Tell me your thought process," Shen Ze said with a smile. He was actually confused too, but if Dilireba insisted on coming when they got to his doorstep, he couldn't stop her, nor would he.

His original intention was not to let Dilraba come. It wasn't that he didn't want her to, but that it wasn't necessary. When the relationship progressed to the next stage, meeting the parents should happen naturally. In a normal romantic relationship, who would think about meeting the parents?

But since Dilraba brought it up, he couldn't ignore it. If she misunderstood and thought he had other ideas, it would be troublesome enough.

"I just had a sudden whim. I knew it wasn't appropriate. I used to think that I should cherish our first meeting and treat each other well. But now, I've just come here without thinking. It's all your fault." Dilraba started to shift the blame.

"It's my fault, it's my fault." Shen Ze hugged Dilireba; after all, he was a man.

"My legs were weak. Will my aunt have a problem with my performance just now?" Dilraba said.

"It's okay, don't even mention you. My mom's probably nervous too. It's her first time meeting her future daughter-in-law, and she's completely unprepared. You're fine, but I'll get a scolding later," Shen Ze said.

"Yes, it's all your fault, you deserve it," Dilraba said.

Looking at Dilraba at this moment, Shen Ze was a little confused about her thoughts, or rather, she herself didn't quite understand them. But this was reasonable. Some things don't go according to plan. People can be impulsive. In the end, she was just a college student who had just entered society and didn't have much experience yet.

You can't expect her to be as steady as an old dog, to think things over carefully before deciding whether or not to do something. She still has that drive, and youth always has its reasons. After she turns thirty, if you want her to do something impulsively, she won't have that drive anymore.

About half an hour later, Lin Fengxia returned.

"Mom, where's Dad? He's not back yet." Shen Ze went forward to greet him. As for Dilireba, she was standing in the yard, not knowing what she was doing.

"He's at the restaurant at the village entrance. He brought back a few dishes. You know, you bring friends back without even telling us beforehand so we can prepare," Lin Fengxia said.

"Mom, it was quite sudden, it wasn't planned," Shen Ze said.

"Auntie, let me help you."

"Hey, girl, you don't need to do anything. You can sit inside. It's cold outside, and there's not much to do," Lin Fengxia said to Dilireba. Dilireba was very obedient and did whatever she was asked to do.

"You brat, tell me honestly, what's going on? Don't play dumb with me." Lin Fengxia grabbed Shen Ze and asked directly. Dilireba might be embarrassed, but her son wasn't.

"I'm not pretending to be stupid. Well, my girlfriend was originally planning to come and stay with us for a few days during the Chinese New Year this year, but we discussed it today and she said she'd like to come over for a visit," Shen Ze said.

He can't mention Dilraba's impulsive actions in front of his parents; the mediator needs to be competent and leave a good impression on both sides.

"Girlfriend, you little rascal, you're really dating someone? I've never heard you mention this before." Lin Fengxia was both surprised and delighted. She was surprised because it came so suddenly, and delighted because the girl was really beautiful; she was amazed by her.

"Mom, who tells their parents before they start dating? This time it was sudden, and she was quite embarrassed," Shen Ze said.

"What's there to hide? I was hoping your sister would bring me back someone right away. Now look what's happened, your sister is still single, and you've brought someone back first. What's going on?" Lin Fengxia said.

"Well, I'll let her go," Shen Ze joked.

"Get out of here, I'll tear your mouth apart. You go and keep her company. I think she's scared too. Let alone her, I'm scared too. This is too sudden. Has she been drinking?" Lin Fengxia knew her son was joking, but she still said it.

"She drinks fruit wine, red wine, and wine from her hometown, which we don't have here, so don't prepare any. She doesn't care about these things. But remember, she doesn't eat pork, so don't serve any pork fat or anything like that," Shen Ze said.

"Your dad knows. He specifically ordered the beef, lamb, and fish, and he personally oversaw the process."

"Where's my sister? Isn't she on vacation?" Shen Ze asked his sister.

"It's a class reunion. Oh, and we still need to arrange accommodations. How about letting her stay in your sister's room? Or can she stay in ours? You should let me know in advance. I can clean up a whole room; it's too messy," Lin Fengxia said.

"I don't mind, she can stay in my room," Shen Ze said.

"What are you saying?" Lin Fengxia said.

"I've already planned it out. She'll stay in my room, and I'll stay in your outer room. Anyway, no one will be staying there. There's a cot, or your sofa will do," Shen Ze said.

"Your sister will stay in her room, and your sister will stay with me. Your dad can stay at your grandpa's place, and you can stay at your own place." Lin Fengxia had already made up her mind.

"Okay, well, I'm going to keep her company, she's panicking right now," Shen Ze said.

"Go on, this rascal, he's even dating now." Looking at her son, Lin Fengxia felt inexplicably happy. Her son was indeed something her family could be proud of.

He has a good education and is getting better and better looking. He's grown taller in the last two years. He used to be a little chubby, but now he's just the right size. He doesn't have to worry about finding a wife. The only problem is that he's a bit unreliable. When it comes to bringing his girlfriend home, he should at least give her two or three days' notice, if not a month in advance.

……

noon.

"Auntie, I'm a senior at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. I'll graduate in a few months, but I've already started working." Looking at the table full of dishes, almost overflowing, it was quite a splurge; even the Chinese New Year wasn't as lavish as this.

Lin Fengxia asked Dilireba a question, and Dilireba spoke very politely, just like a student.

"Yes, Mom, look, this TV series, 'Anarhan,' aired on CCTV's prime time slot around Labor Day. Look at that face, it's her. And my sister, didn't you watch 'Palace'? The female lead, Yang Mi, is her boss." Shen Ze showed his phone to his parents.

"Sigh, this kid is really amazing, isn't he, Lao Shen?" Looking at the news about Dilireba, Lin Fengxia wondered how her son could be worthy of her.

"Yes." Shen Chun wasn't used to this kind of thing either.

The meal was a bit awkward, but it was unavoidable; as the middleman, Shen Ze had to take care of both sides.
