Every time Wang Yifan and Zhao Lusi walked over to one of the tables where their relatives were eating, everyone’s eyes immediately focused on them.
Of course, they weren’t looking at Wang Yifan.
It wasn’t as if they hadn’t seen him before.
They were looking at Zhao Lusi!
They had never seen a celebrity in person before, so naturally they were quite curious.
Besides, Zhao Lusi was incredibly beautiful, so they couldn’t help taking a few extra glances at her.
After Wang Yifan and Zhao Lusi finished serving food to their relatives, the younger generation at their table went crazy!
Wang Yifan’s younger cousin, Wang Xiaomei, had just taken some photos of Zhao Lusi and Wang Yifan and posted them on her WeChat Moments.
Instantly, her WeChat started buzzing nonstop!
Her Moments was flooded with likes and comments.
Wang Xiaomei opened WeChat.
The huge number of messages startled her.
She randomly opened one of the messages someone had sent her.
“Wang Xiaomei, what’s going on? What’s with that photo you posted? Is that really Zhao Lusi? Holy crap!”
Seeing her friend’s message, Wang Xiaomei could almost imagine her friend’s hands trembling as she typed.
To be honest, when Wang Xiaomei herself had seen Zhao Lusi just moments ago, her own hands had been trembling too!
She replied:
“I’m shocked too! I had no idea my cousin’s girlfriend was actually Zhao Lusi. The moment I saw her, my whole body was trembling. Ahhh! I’m so excited!”
“No way, Wang Xiaomei, that’s too fake! Zhao Lusi is your cousin-in-law now! Ahhh! I’ve never even seen Zhao Lusi in person. Is she really that pretty?”
“She’s super beautiful! Even prettier than she looks in her videos, and she’s even slimmer in person! Ahhh, she’s absolutely gorgeous. I really like her! I want to take a photo with her, but I’m too nervous!”
“…”
While Wang Xiaomei was chatting with her friend, Wang Yifan’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
“You want a photo together? I can ask her for you later.”
Hearing Wang Yifan’s voice, Wang Xiaomei immediately turned around.
When she saw her cousin Wang Yifan holding a dish and looking at her with a grin, she was stunned.
But then she immediately nodded excitedly.
“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm! Cousin, could you ask her for me later? I really want a photo with her!”
“Haha, eat your food first!”
With that, Wang Yifan left.
He was worried that Zhao Lusi might be hungry, and he also planned to eat with her.
Otherwise, she would probably feel too embarrassed to eat by herself.
When he arrived in the kitchen, his mother had already placed the wok over the fire.
She put the pork they had cooked earlier into the wok, and as soon as the meat hit the hot pan, it sizzled loudly as oil bubbled around it.
It looked delicious!
“Lusi, you eat first!”
“Auntie, why don’t you eat with us?”
“Auntie still has to go entertain the relatives. Let Yifan keep you company while you eat. Your uncle and I will eat later.”
After Wang Yifan’s parents left the kitchen, only he and Zhao Lusi remained.
The two of them sat on plastic stools and ate together.
Looking at the steaming stir-fried pork over the fire, the delicious aroma instantly whetted Zhao Lusi’s appetite.
“Baby, if you think this is too greasy, there’s also chicken soup.”
“It isn’t. It tastes really good mixed with rice. I like this kind of food!”
As she spoke, Zhao Lusi picked up some food with her chopsticks and began eating.
Wang Yifan did the same.
Zhao Lusi felt that eating like this had a special charm.
The food was delicious, and she was genuinely hungry, so she ate quite a lot.
After finishing her meal, Zhao Lusi looked completely satisfied.
“Baby, if you’re feeling hot, you can go outside and get some fresh air. There’s a small courtyard outside the kitchen.”
“Mm-hmm, okay!”
After finishing his meal, Wang Yifan spent some time helping his parents entertain their relatives.
At other times, he went out to the courtyard beside the kitchen and chatted with Zhao Lusi.
They continued like this until midnight, when all his relatives finally went home.
Only then did he and Zhao Lusi help his parents clean up.
“Lusi, don’t worry about it. Go upstairs and rest. Your uncle and I can handle this!”
Wang Yifan’s mother was worried that Zhao Lusi wouldn’t be used to doing these chores and didn’t want her to work, so she hurriedly stopped her.
“It’s okay, Auntie. I used to do these things all the time too.”
“Lusi, listen to Auntie. Just sit and rest. Let Yifan help us clean up. You go upstairs and get some rest.”
“This…”
Zhao Lusi looked at Wang Yifan for help.
He smiled and said, “Baby, just go upstairs and rest. If you insist on helping, my mom is going to scold me later!”
Hearing that, she finally nodded.
“Then, Auntie, I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Okay, Lusi. You worked hard today too. Get some rest early.”
“Okay, Auntie. You two should go to bed early too.”
“Okay!”
Just as Wang Yifan was about to take Zhao Lusi upstairs, she suddenly said,
“Brother Xiaofan, my suitcase and the milk we bought are still in the car!”
“Right! I almost forgot because you didn’t remind me. Come on, let’s go get them.”
After saying that, the two of them went outside and brought everything from the car inside.
After talking with Wang Yifan’s mother for a while longer, Zhao Lusi finally went upstairs.
Naturally, Wang Yifan accompanied her.
After making sure she was settled, he went back downstairs and continued cleaning up with his parents.
Afterward, Wang Yifan took a shower on the first floor and then went upstairs.
His parents also went to bed.
Although Wang Yifan’s parents had really wanted to chat with Zhao Lusi that night, it was already too late, so they decided to talk with her the next day.
Back on the third floor, Wang Yifan locked the living-room door from the inside.
He quietly went to the bedroom and locked that door as well.
When he saw Zhao Lusi lying there with her eyes tightly closed, he assumed she was already asleep.
So when he climbed into bed, he moved extremely carefully, afraid of waking her.
In reality, he was incredibly excited at that moment.
His heart felt as though it were about to leap out of his chest!
Ever since breaking up with his previous girlfriend, he hadn’t slept beside another woman.
And now the woman lying beside him was none other than the famous celebrity Zhao Lusi!
How could he not be excited?
How could he not be nervous?
But he wasn’t the only one who was nervous.
At that moment, Zhao Lusi was lying on the bed with her eyes tightly shut and her heart pounding faster and faster.
She was even pretending to be asleep!
Deep down, however, she really hoped that Wang Yifan would turn around and hold her while they slept.
Unfortunately, the more she anticipated it, the less likely it seemed to happen.
Wang Yifan also really wanted to turn around and hold Zhao Lusi while they slept, but he simply didn’t have the courage.
Just lying in the same bed with Zhao Lusi was already enough to make him extremely nervous!
Neither of them said a word.
Each assumed that the other was asleep.
After quite some time, Wang Yifan slowly turned over to face Zhao Lusi.
Through the light from the bedside lamp, he could see her tightly closed eyes and steady breathing.
Her sweet face looked especially captivating beneath the dim, warm light.
He really wanted to lean over and kiss her.
But he didn’t dare.
At that moment, Zhao Lusi quietly opened her eyes just a tiny bit and secretly watched Wang Yifan.
In her heart, she kept thinking:
“Kiss me, you idiot!”
But Wang Yifan didn’t make a move at all.
He simply stared at her.
And as he continued looking at her, he gradually drifted into a deep sleep.
Zhao Lusi was so annoyed that she almost wanted to curse at him!
