There were five to six wooden tables and dozens of dining chairs in the courtyard of a shabby house in the depths of an old alley. This was Master Chen's private kitchen.
The tables were a little old. The paint was dark, but it was wiped clean. The dining chairs were almost the same. However, they were a little shaky when sitting on them. People were worried that they would directly collapse.
Of course, it was impossible to turn on the air conditioner in the open-air courtyard. There was an electric fan in the corner. It blew and swayed from side to side, sending cool air to drive away the heat of summer.
Compared with those formal restaurants, the environment here was definitely terrible. However, the customers who came one after another didn't eat the environment, but the taste.
Lu Chen hadn't been here for a long time, but nothing had changed here.
He came with Chen Fei 'er.
Master Chen's private kitchen had always had a good business. It didn't accept reservations. If you wanted a table in the small courtyard, you had to come early or late.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er came at 7 o' clock in the evening. It was just past the peak time for dinner, so they didn't need to wait for a table.
They ordered Braised Lion's Head, Three Sets of Duck, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Boiled Shredded Dried Meat, and two baskets of Crab Meat Buns. These were authentic Huaiyang dishes, which were Lu Chen's favorite dishes and Master Chen's signature dishes.
The Braised Lion's Head, which had been simmering in the clay pot for a long time, was served first. Big Lion's Head was in the pot. The thick red sauce was steaming hot, and the fragrance was very tempting.
Lu Chen used chopsticks and a spoon to pick up a small piece for Chen Fei 'er. The latter carefully ate a few mouthfuls and couldn't help but show a surprised expression. "It's delicious!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's good. I was afraid that you wouldn't like it."
Today, Chen Fei 'er had just returned to the capital. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, so they made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.
For some reason, Lu Chen suddenly thought of Master Chen's private chef, so he brought Chen Fei 'er to this old place on the Third Ring Road to have a sumptuous meal.
A bottle of red wine that cost tens of thousands of yuan and a steak that cost thousands of yuan could certainly bring enjoyment to the taste buds, but beer that cost a few yuan and braised meatballs that cost tens of yuan were not inferior at all.
"How could that be …"
Chen Fei'er shook his head and said, "Of course I would like such delicious food. Besides, the most important thing about eating is not what you eat, but who you eat with."
There was a smile on her face, and her eyes were as gentle as water, intoxicating.
Lu Chen hadn't drunk yet, so he was a little tipsy.
Although it was the same dish, the taste was really different — more delicious.
"I used to live in a basement near here, and Li Feiyu was my neighbor …"
Lu Chen told Chen Fei'er about the past, "When it's time to get paid, we come here to have a meal to satisfy our cravings. I like the braised meatballs made by Master Chen the most. I really want to eat it today …"
Chen Fei'er listened quietly, then ate a few mouthfuls of food, and put more food in Lu Chen's bowl.
The dinner was very heartwarming.
When Lu Chen was about to pay the bill and leave, several girls walked over hesitantly.
One of them asked, "Excuse … excuse me … you … you are Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er, right?"
Not knowing whether it was because of excitement or nervousness, her face was flushed.
Several girls were also eating here, and then they noticed Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er sitting not far away. At first, they didn't dare to rashly disturb them, but now they finally mustered up the courage to do so.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er looked at each other and smiled.
Both of them wore sunglasses when they came, and of course they took them off when eating, so it was normal for them to be recognized.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, hello."
"Hello, hello!"
The girl who got a friendly response was even more excited, "Can … can we take a photo together? I'm your fan! "
Lu Chen nodded, "Of course."
He had met many fans now, and as long as the time was right, he would satisfy all requests for photos and autographs.
"Yay!"
The little girl was so happy that she immediately jumped to Lu Chen's side, hugged his arm, and then made a victory sign to her companions, and smiled like a blooming spring flower.
Her companions had already taken out their mobile phones and were snapping a few photos in a row.
Then they took one after another, and of course, they also took a few photos with Chen Fei'er, and quickly posted them on their WeChat Moments.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er patiently accompanied them to finish the selfie. The two of them were very consistent when it came to treating their fans, unlike some celebrities who took the cold route and always ignored their fans.
So the fans of both of them were very united.
After taking the photos, Lu Chen quickly pulled Chen Fei'er away, because there were other guests in the small courtyard watching.
If other people were to come over to watch, it would be a little difficult to escape.
Ah Xuan's car was waiting at the entrance of the alley outside, and Lu Chen asked her to send him and Chen Fei'er to Houhai.
"I'm so full tonight!"
Hand in hand as they strolled along the lake, Chen Fei'er happily complained, "At least I've gained more than half a kilo!"
Lu Chen laughed, "How much do you weigh, it doesn't matter if you gain a kilo."
Chen Fei'er paid a lot of attention to maintaining her figure, and insisted on doing yoga every day, so her weight was the perfect standard.
Chen Fei'er asked, "Then do you like the fat me or the thin me?"
Lu Chen said, "I like you, I don't care if you're fat or thin."
Chen Fei'er laughed, "Sweet words and honeyed words, you only know how to coax me."
Although she said that, she still smiled sweetly.
After walking for a while, the two of them sat down on a bench by the side of the road, staring at the distant lights and sparkling waves.
Chen Fei'er hugged Lu Chen's waist, leaning half of her body in his arms.
She softly hummed.
"… …
The most romantic thing I can think of,
Is to slowly grow old with you.
Collecting bits and pieces of laughter along the way,
Leaving it for later, sitting on a rocking chair and slowly chatting.
The most romantic thing I can think of,
Is to slowly grow old with you.
Until we're too old to go anywhere,
You still think of me as a treasure in your hands! "
The song "The Most Romantic Thing" she sang was the second interlude written by Lu Chen for "Full House of Romance". Together with another interlude song "Only for You" sung by Lu Chen, they were currently ranked third and seventh on the original music chart.
This was a delicate and gentle love song. It was warm and romantic, expressing a little woman's view of happiness through melody and lyrics. Therefore, it quickly became popular after it was broadcast on the TV series.
The official version of the song "Full of Romance" released by the official V account had already broken the ten million download mark!
But for Lu Chen, whether it was the interlude on TV or the official version, it was far less touching than Chen Fei'er's soft humming at this moment.
He held his lover in his arms, as if he had the whole world.
