The waiter hurriedly apologized, and the owner, with a forced smile, said, "This is a new employee. Look, Mr. Liu, how much was this shirt? I'll compensate you. This meal is on me too, as a small token of our appreciation. Is that alright?"

Liu Zhongze waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just scared my girlfriend. I'll be more careful next time."

A hint of surprise appeared in the owner's eyes. He must have been paying close attention to the internet to be able to invite internet celebrities to check in at his store.

He already knew Liu Zhongze, who was standing in front of him. He had seen his abstract videos and would occasionally watch his funny videos to pass the time when he was drinking at night and was really bored.

Liu Zhongze struck him as a vain clown with an insatiable sense of self-importance, and he was only being polite because of the impact on the shop.

This situation undoubtedly shattered the boss's impression of Liu Zhongze. He was stunned for a moment, and only after being glared at by Lin Luoying did he come to his senses and silently retreat.

Lin Luoying looked at Liu Zhongze with eyes full of heartache, and whispered, "Does it hurt? You silly boy, why did you stand in front of me..."

At this point, Lin Luoying's voice choked with emotion, but she spoke with a happy tone: "Don't do it again next time, okay, son?"

Lin Luoying clearly prefers calling Liu Zhongze "son" rather than "baby," considering it a term of endearment. However, in the past, she would often call him "son" and then "dad," which she dared not do.

"It's good that you're okay. The cameras are still on, so don't let them record you crying."

Speaking of this, Lin Luoying placed the camera in front of her and accurately recorded her tears.

It seems that no matter which woman cries, as long as there is a mirror or camera in front of her, she will subconsciously try to maintain her image.

Liu Zhongze ignored the stains on his clothes. To him, it was normal for his clothes to be dirty and messy, and he didn't need to be so particular.

The owner personally brought two dishes from the kitchen and placed them steadily in front of the two people, saying, "I'm so sorry, please enjoy your meal. The rest of the dishes will be served soon."

"Thank you." Liu Zhongze reminded him, "Watch your step, safety is the most important thing."

The boss was stunned again, thinking: Could this guy have a split personality? When he's wearing makeup, he's a clown, and when he takes it off, he's a gentleman. Is that right?

Liu Zhongze covered his finger with his body, pointed to the camera on the table, and said, "Boss, my girlfriend and I are about to have dinner."

"Oh...oh! Take your time eating!" The owner quickly laughed it off, almost bumping into a customer as he turned around. After apologizing to the customer, he ran away as if fleeing.

He wasn't this reserved when facing restaurant review bloggers before, but today, for some reason, the person he used to look down on the most has brought about a complete change in his perception of them.

"Eat up, we've been waiting for a long time. There are still people waiting outside. Let's go as soon as we finish eating," Liu Zhongze reminded him.

Lin Luoying put down the camera, pouted, and said, "We finally got to eat out, so let's enjoy the food properly. Why are we in such a hurry? The people outside are waiting anyway."

"But I haven't seen you eat anything."

"Let's eat, let's eat, what's the rush?"

Lin Luoying picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and fed it first to her family members who weren't in the camera's view. Then she opened her cherry-like mouth, put it in her mouth, and savored it carefully.

She made an exaggerated expression, then looked at the camera and said, "It's delicious, I'd give this a 9 out of 10."

Liu Zhongze picked up a piece of the dish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, but found that the taste was strange and not very good. If it suited his taste, it might be a 6 or 7 out of 10.

Liu Zhongze whispered in Lin Luoying's ear, "Is it okay for you to lie to your family like this?"

To everyone's surprise, Lin Luoying's cheeks flushed red instantly. Whether it was from the annoyance of being touched on or something else, she stammered and didn't say anything.

The remaining dishes were served quickly; the owner himself had come over to prepare them and also introduced the specialties of the cuisine.

When Liu Zhongze listened, he would nod seriously, which was a way of acknowledging the boss's professionalism.

The meal lasted for more than an hour, during which time the staff mainly served the filming and there wasn't much time to enjoy the food. Sometimes, even when Lin Luoying wanted to eat, the owner would keep talking to her.

They couldn't refuse the kind introduction, otherwise they would lose face for the boss. This was mainly Liu Zhongze's idea. If it were Lin Luoying, she would have told him to go somewhere cool and stay there long ago.

On the way back, Lin Luoying kept glancing at Liu Zhongze, her eyes filled with a suggestive and ambiguous feeling.

Liu Zhongze was like a sheep appearing before a tiger; his instincts told him: danger!

"Uh... how was the meal?"

"It's just average, but a few dishes are really good, mainly..."

Lin Luoying stepped on the brake and, while waiting for the red light to turn red, she looked at Liu Zhongze with a sly gaze: "It depends on who you're eating with, son. You did well today, so I'll pamper you tonight."

Liu Zhongze shuddered, confirming his premonition. His eyes were filled with panic, and he didn't dare to meet Lin Luoying's gaze, while his mind frantically searched for a solution.

"I... cough, I still need to train when I get home tonight. After I finish training, I have to go to bed early, since I have to go to the film set tomorrow."

"Son, you can still find the time for half an hour, or an hour and a half."

Lin Luoying waited until the car horn sounded from behind before she remembered to step on the gas.

"No...I don't have time. My training takes a long time. Didn't you see that yesterday? Let's talk about it when I get back."

"But..."

One was so frightened that he stammered, and the other hesitated because he didn't know how to speak.

On the way back, no matter what Lin Luoying said, Liu Zhongze wouldn't budge. When pushed too far, he threatened Lin Luoying that he would hide in a room and not come out when he got home.

Lin Luoying then relented and didn't force Liu Zhongze, but she was somewhat disappointed and remained sullen on the way home.

After arriving home, Lin Luoying looked at Liu Zhongze with the resolute expression of a lost kitten. However, he did not respond to her gaze. She could only silently walk back to her room, scrolling through her phone idly, occasionally glancing at Liu Zhongze as he trained.

Liu Zhongze's whole body ached, and he felt like he was being pricked by needles from time to time. He couldn't tell if the sweat that was flowing out was from exhaustion or from being frightened.

He had never experienced anything like this before and had no idea how to handle it. The worst part was that it wasn't with the woman he liked. What... what was going on?

Lin Luoying is indeed beautiful, and it would be a lie to say that Liu Zhongze wasn't moved. However, his old-fashioned personality meant that if he wanted someone, he had to treat her well and take responsibility. He couldn't take advantage of being reborn into this body to do things that didn't fit his character. He wasn't that kind of person.
