Zhu Zhengchu usually doesn't eat much because he manages his diet. But today, since the food was cooked by Xiang Yutang, he ate quite a bit, though still far less than her.
When Zhu Zhengchu was full, Xiang Yutang was still munching on chicken feet. He propped his head up and watched her. Her chubby cheeks while eating were quite cute.
Xiang Yutang said indistinctly while eating, "Why do you only eat so little?"
Zhu Zhengchu said helplessly, "I've already eaten two bowls. Usually, I only eat one."
"How did you grow so tall? I've eaten so much but I'm not as tall as you." If Xiang Yutang had to pick one thing about herself that she wasn't satisfied with, it would be her height. She dreamed of growing taller.
"I think you're fine like this. 165 cm is pretty good."
Zhu Zhengchu was a head taller than her. They looked quite well - matched standing together.
Xiang Yutang pouted and said, "Come on. Do you know how tall Ultramen are? The shortest one is 39 meters!"
Zhu Zhengchu was speechless. Why would a normal person compare their height with that of an Ultraman?
Xiang Yutang looked at Zhu Zhengchu expectantly and asked, "Do you think I still have a chance to grow taller?"
Zhu Zhengchu thought for a while and then shook his head. Then he said suggestively, "Although you don't have a chance to grow taller, you can find a taller boyfriend to make up for that regret."
"That's what I've been thinking too. That's why I've always liked Ultramen."
Zhu Zhengchu's fists tightened.
He really wanted to fight an Ultraman!
After they finished their meal, they drank tea in the living room. There was a large French window in the living room that offered a beautiful view outside. They sat there enjoying the pleasant and relaxing afternoon.
Xiang Yutang picked up the guitar in the corner. It was quite a big one.
"Can you play the guitar?" Zhu Zhengchu asked.
Xiang Yutang tested the sound and said to herself, "Of course I can."
"Then play a song. Let me have a listen."
He originally thought Xiang Yutang would play a lively tune, but this girl was in a leisurely mood today and played a love song.
Zhu Zhengchu hummed along to the tune.
"We'll embrace affectionately. We'll be together till old age. As long as I can love you, that's enough."
Just as Zhu Zhengchu finished singing, Xiang Yutang suddenly stopped playing.
Zhu Zhengchu looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Yutang pretended nothing was wrong and said, "N - nothing..."
Although she said it was okay, Zhu Zhengchu noticed that her face seemed a bit red. Was this girl... shy?
Zhu Zhengchu wasn't quite sure. Would this girl really get shy? But it seemed she really was.
Zhu Zhengchu probed, "Shall I sing another song for you?"
"Ah... okay." Xiang Yutang's tone was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry, which made Zhu Zhengchu more certain of his thoughts.
"Can you play 'Love Beyond Control'?"
"Yes."
Xiang Yutang touched her face and then started playing 'Love Beyond Control'.
Zhu Zhengchu sang softly along with her accompaniment, looking at her tenderly. It seemed he had found a way to win this girl's heart.
Xiang Yutang's ears were completely red. How could someone sing so well?
It wasn't that she was inexperienced. Most of the people in her family were tone - deaf. She had never heard such a treasure - level voice up close.
"Falling in love with you is beyond my control." Zhu Zhengchu finished singing the last line and looked at Xiang Yutang, waiting for her reaction.
Xiang Yutang put down the guitar and pretended to be sleepy. "Master, can I find a room to rest in?"
"Sure. I'll show you." Although she didn't say much, her shyness at the moment was the best reaction.
"If you want to take a bath, you can. There are clean bathrobes inside. There's a charging cable on the bedside table. If you need anything, you can ask me to get it for you. If you need personal items, you can call the nanny with this. She'll bring them to you." Zhu Zhengchu was like a considerate boyfriend, arranging everything properly.
Xiang Yutang gave a soft "um".
Zhu Zhengchu said, "I'll go out first. Have a good rest. I'll take you back in the evening."
"Master!"
"Hmm?"
"Your singing is really good!" Xiang Yutang praised him.
Zhu Zhengchu smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Will I be as good as you one day?" Xiang Yutang looked at him expectantly.
Zhu Zhengchu looked at her pretty face, thought for a while and then lied, "Maybe."
"Really?!" Xiang Yutang was both surprised and happy.
Zhu Zhengchu smiled and said, "Now take a nap and have a dream. Anything is possible."
Xiang Yutang:...
Sure enough, she got too excited too soon.
After Zhu Zhengchu went out, Xiang Yutang tossed and turned on the bed.
"Damn! How can someone sing so well?!" Xiang Yutang rolled back and forth.
After calming down, Xiang Yutang took out her phone, searched for Zhu Zhengchu on Weibo, clicked on one of his performance videos and closed her eyes to listen to him sing.
Although the sound quality of this video was good, Xiang Yutang always felt something was missing.
It was the tender look in Master's eyes just now.
But Master was probably so tender just because it was a love song. Otherwise, he couldn't have looked at her so tenderly. Xiang Yutang thought to herself.
Listening to the singing over and over again with her earphones on, Xiang Yutang scrolled to the next video and saw her own face.
Huh? Why was she in Master's video?
Only then did Xiang Yutang notice that she had accidentally clicked on a video edited by CP fans. If it had been before, Xiang Yutang would have just scrolled past without watching. But today, after hesitating for a while, she still continued to watch.
It had to be said that the fans' editing skills were unparalleled. The video was so well - edited that even the protagonists themselves almost believed it. She almost thought she was really in a relationship with Zhu Zhengchu.
Dating Master...
Xiang Yutang suddenly shivered. For some reason, this thought gave her an indescribable feeling.
Stop thinking so much. How could Master take a fancy to her? Master had so many rumored girlfriends. Who was she?
Outside, Zhu Zhengchu was also watching the CP - fan - edited videos of the two of them. He had developed the habit of watching them every day and even secretly left comments with his anonymous account. It was quite funny. In the past, his so - called girlfriends were just for fun and acting. He even didn't want to kiss them. But why was this girl so endearing to him?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly received a call from Gu Jiacai.
"Brother Zhu, is that you?" Gu Jiacai's voice sounded a bit anxious.
Zhu Zhengchu said, "It's me. What's up?"
"Huayu Company is determined to target Yutang. They're digging for her scandals everywhere."
Huayu Company and Meng Shuang had always been rivals. Since Meng Shuang always outperformed them, Huayu would frantically attack any new artist.
Zhu Zhengchu said calmly, "Does Yutang have any scandals?"
"Not really... I'm just afraid there are some things we don't know. If they really dig something out and spread rumors, it'll be a disaster. Is Yutang still with you? Should we ask her carefully?" After all, as a public figure, the slightest mistake would be magnified.
Zhu Zhengchu said, "No need to ask. This girl's biggest scandal is probably thinking her boyfriend is an Ultraman."
Gu Jiacai: "... Ah?"
