You're My Only Star

Chapter 180 - What Happen To The Vinegar?

Liu Yu Sheng sucked in some air through her teeth as she watched the people who sat around the same table as hers.

The scene was too strange. Usually, wouldn't the group of directors and producers sat at the VIP table with the celebrities? Why were they sharing the same table as the post-production group?

Her gaze shifted to the VVIP table. It seemed that the celebrities were a little dumbfounded about the situation as well. Everyone's attention was towards the post-production group.

Liu Yu Sheng could imagine that the others were wondering why were the director and producers were seating with them instead of at the VVIP table.

After a while, her gaze shifted to the man who was seated next to her friend. 

Why was President Lu Xun joining their table as well? From their conversation, it doesn't seem as if it was related to the post-production group.

Sensing that something does not seem right, Liu Yu Sheng poked at her friend's waist. "Xing Xing, why are our big bosses seating with our table."

Song Xing Xing was eyeing the bottled vinegar in front of her when Liu Yu Sheng talked to her. She turned to her friend and blinked, acting as if she could not understand anything. "Maybe they wanted to talk to Producer Ming who happened to seat at the same table as us?"

Liu Yu Sheng thought that this explanation is possible and did not ask further.

When Song Xing Xing turned around again, her gaze met up with the scene where Lu Xun was clipping a strip of fish fillet and dipping it into the vinegar. Her eyes widened when she saw that he was eating them without a reaction in his face.

Song Xing Xing was not the only person who was staring at Lu Xun. Everyone around the table was quite surprised to see what was going on in front of them.

"President Lu, does it taste good to dip the fish slice into the vinegar?" Director An asked curiously.

Lu Xun flashed them a smile. "It actually tasted pretty refreshing to eat like this."

Director An was doubting his words. He picked up a piece of fish as well and dipped them into the vinegar. However, the moment he placed them into his mouth, Director An was regretting his decision to follow his boss's idea.

Seeing that his boss continued to eat that way, Director An concluded that his boss was unwell. A while ago, he seemed as if he did not have an appetite. Now that he was dipping his food into the vinegar, it seemed that his appetite has returned.

He really could not comprehend those rich people and their strange preferences.

Meanwhile, Song Xing Xing felt a little guilty when she saw that someone kept on dipping his food in vinegar. Quickly, she removed the bottle of vinegar away as well as the small container that Lu Xun had used to pour in the vinegar.

Seeing that the small container in front of him had disappeared, Lu Xun turned to the girl beside him and asked, "What happen to the vinegar?"

"President Lu, eating too much vinegar can be harmful as well. It's best to eat them in moderation."

The corner of his lips tilted up. Looking at her expression now, it seemed that she was no longer as angry as she was earlier. "Thank you. Then, I'll have to listen to your advice."

Their interaction was very subtle. Other than Director An, no one seemed to notice what was going on between the couple. 

Song Xing Xing looked away, not wanting to talk to him for the time being. Soon, the plate of shrimp was pushed closer to her and the hand that was holding hers was finally let go. Song Xing Xing let out a breath of relief and quickly reached for her chopsticks as she was afraid that someone might hold her hand again.

Her phone on the table started to vibrate while she was busy peeling her shrimp. Song Xing Xing checked on her phone and saw a text message from Lu Xun. He only told her to wait for him after the meal so that they can go home together.

She did not reply to his message and continued to eat.

Even though she was a little unhappy when his ex-girlfriend had suddenly come to provoke her, Song Xing Xing was not angry with Lu Xun. She knew well that she could not blame him. However, it was not a pleasing thing to be provoked by his ex-girlfriend. He needed to know that she was not pleased that his ex-girlfriend had come and harassed her.

The meal ended and everyone started to leave the place. 

Liu Yu Sheng and Ning Yan had offered to send her back to her place but Song Xing Xing rejected them politely. After all, her apartment and the restaurant were not that far away. 

Once most people had left the dining hall, Lu Xun went out to look for his girlfriend. His expression paled when he saw that the person he was looking for was not around.

Assistant Bei Yuan walked over and reported, "President Lu, Miss Song is waiting for you at the lounge."

It was then that Lu Xun realized that he had never asked her where they should be meeting.

After thanking his assistant, Lu Xun headed over to the lounge. A sigh escaped him once he found his girlfriend seated in a quiet corner. He walked over and stopped. The moment she looked up, Lu Xun offered his hand to her. "Xing Xing, let's go. I'll take you home alright?"

Song Xing Xing stared at the man who was dressed in his trench coat for a few seconds longer. Once she placed her hand in his, Lu Xun gave her a little tug, and her body collided with him. 

Lu Xun wrapped his arms around hers and hugged her tightly. Seeing that the girl was burying her face in his chest, Lu Xun lowered his head to kiss the top of her head. "Sorry. I did not expect that Shi An Na would come and harassed you."

Song Xing Xing raised her head to look at him. "How did you know?"

"I asked Bei Yuan to investigate. He went to the security room and saw that the two of you met at the lobby," Lu Xun said. "What did she say to you?"

Song Xing Xing was upset as she recalled her conversation with Lu Xun's ex-girlfriend earlier. She took a deep breath and shook her head. "Forget it. I don't want to talk about it anymore." 

She was not going to tattletale. 

"I just wanted to go home, alright?"

"Alright. I'll take you home."

Just as the couple left the lounge area, a figure came out from his hiding place. The reporter stared in the direction where the couple had left with his eyes wide. He shifted his gaze towards the image in his camera and smiled happily.

Although he was unable to get the woman's face, President Lu Xun's face was visible.. It seemed that he had stumbled into good news.
