“Don’t tease me. I was young and impetuous back then. I definitely won’t do that now.”

The two of them chatted and ate. Lu Zhen guessed that Xi De had something serious to talk to her about, but before the two of them could change the topic to serious matters, Lu Zhen’s phone rang.

She opened her cell phone and saw a message from Song Jia. “Xiaoxiao said that you went out?”

“Why? Is your boyfriend here to check on you?” Xi De took a sip of soup. Seeing that Lu Zhen was looking at her cell phone, he said apologetically, “Do you want me to explain to him?”

Lu Zhen smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll go out and make a call. Please wait for me.”

Lu Zhen walked out and made a call.

“Hello, I’m eating with someone outside,” Lu Zhen said as soon as the call went through.

Song Jia was busy with his work. He didn’t expect Lu Zhen to call him to explain. This made him seem like he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Song Jia’s hand that was holding the fountain pen stopped on the document. After two seconds, they said casually, “It’s nothing. I’m just asking. You just arrived at the filming location and might not be used to it. Do you want me to send a few more people over? Xiaoxiao is busy with so many things alone. It’s inevitable that she’ll work too hard.”

“It’s okay. I’m fine and my work is going well. Don’t worry.”

After explaining clearly, Lu Zhen originally planned to hang up if Song Jia had nothing else to do, but Song Jia didn’t say anything for a long time.

Song Jia put down the fountain pen and hesitated a few times. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you eating with your colleagues from the production team?

“Yes, they’re actors who act together with me.” Lu Zhen felt that Song Jia was a little too concerned about her. It did seem to be a little like the “checkup” that Xi De had mentioned.

If it were anyone else, Lu Zhen would probably think that the other party was meddling too much. However, this person was Song Jia, so Lu Zhen did not feel any resistance or annoyance.

“A man?” Song Jia knew that he shouldn’t continue asking. It would be undignified if he did, but before his brain could make a choice, he had already asked the question.

The wind blew in her face. Lu Zhen leaned against the railing. She didn’t know where she got the courage to suddenly want to joke with Song Jia.

“There are men and women. Don’t worry,” Lu Zhen said with a smile.

“There are a few people? That’s quite lively.” Song Jia’s tone sounded natural, probably because he was relieved.

“No, it’s just him and me.” Lu Zhen couldn’t help but laugh.

On the other end of the line, Song Jia heard Lu Zhen’s light laughter. He felt like he had been teased by the person he took it to heart. However, he was not vexed and only smiled helplessly.

It was a good thing that Lu Zhen could be so relaxed in front of him.

It seemed that ever since the Spring Festival, the two of them had gotten closer. In the past, she had always treated him like her superior and boss. Now, at least, they were close friends.

“You’re not angry, are you? We’re just ordinary colleagues. He probably wants my help with something, so he treated me to a meal. Don’t worry, he’s a decent actor. There’s no problem with his character,” Lu Zhen said solemnly.

Song Jia wanted to say, “How do you know that he’s a decent person? Men are all good at pretending.”

However, he did not say this in the end, lest Lu Zhen think that he was too petty.

“Yes, I believe in your judgment. Then come back and rest early after dinner. Let me know when you reach the hotel.” Song Jia said that, but he was still very worried. At the thought that Lu Zhen was eating alone with a man, he felt suffocated.

He had never eaten with her alone before. Song Jia felt inexplicably aggrieved.

After hanging up, Lu Zhen returned to the dining table.

“You’re all right?” Xi De’s words seemed to have another hidden meaning. His smile was also a little meaningful.

“It’s nothing to begin with.” Lu Zhen sat down and looked at the food on the table. She usually ate very little for dinner, so there was still more than half of the food on the table.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pack it up and take it away later.” Xi De seemed to be able to guess Lu Zhen’s thoughts and immediately dispelled her worries.

“I’m really sorry. I didn’t eat much.” Lu Zhen smiled apologetically. “It’s okay. You’re a female celebrity. I know. You guys have it harder than us.”

They were almost done with their meal when Xi De finally got down to business.. “By the way, will you be attending this year’s Night of the Stars?
