Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 52 Director Lu and Goddess Su Yao are a Match Made in Heaven
Ignoring Li Hao's teasing expression, Lu Xuan walked forward.
Su Yao smiled at him, her eyes like crescents. "Isn't it lunchtime? I just brought you some food."
She was in a very good mood.
Everyone on the set knew about her relationship with Lu Xuan, so hearing them call her 'Sister-in-law' made Su Yao feel a little fluttery.
"Here."
Su Yao shook the lunchbox.
She didn't say who made it, just wanting to see Lu Xuan's reaction after he ate it.
Lu Xuan took it casually.
"Thanks, you shouldn't have troubled yourself to bring it over."
"Anyway, I don't have anything to do lately, so I thought I'd come here to observe and learn from Teacher Lu about how to film. I won't be disturbing you, will I?"
Su Yao asked, her hands behind her back, standing on tiptoe.
Those around them, seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel envious.
Director Lu and Goddess Su Yao's relationship is so good!
And the two of them standing together, they really make a great couple!
Hearing that Su Yao wanted to come every day, Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse.
"Okay, but it's settled, you're not allowed to disrupt the order of the crew."
"Of course, I know the rules."
Su Yao was a regular on set, so she knew the taboos.
"That's good then."
Lu Xuan nodded, then led Su Yao to a nearby lounge.
"You haven't eaten either, have you? Want to eat something together?"
"Okay."
Opening the lunchbox, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Lu Xuan nodded in contentment. "Mm! This is the taste!"
Only Auntie Liu's cooking had such a rich aroma.
Su Yao smiled slightly, without saying anything.
Dividing the food into two portions, and handing a portion to Su Yao, Lu Xuan finally noticed that Auntie Liu wasn't around.
She was usually inseparable from Su Yao.
He asked, "Speaking of which, where's Auntie Liu?"
"She went to Tianqi Music to discuss a collaboration for me."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was filled with emotion.
An agent as good as Auntie Liu was truly rare!
She completely doted on Su Yao as if she were her own daughter, and even when Su Yao failed, Auntie Liu stayed by her side.
"Luckily, I also have Brother Gun!"
In terms of professional ability, Li Hao was the best in Lu Xuan's heart!
His stomach starting to rumble, Lu Xuan stopped thinking about it.
He broke apart the chopsticks, ready to start eating.
"After filming all morning, I'm starving."
"Wait! Drink some porridge first, to moisten your stomach and help with digestion."
Su Yao pushed her hand in front of Lu Xuan, signaling him to drink some porridge first.
Auntie Liu had helped with the other dishes.
But this bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge was made by Su Yao herself, so she wanted Lu Xuan to try her cooking first.
"That makes sense!"
Lu Xuan licked his dry lips, a sign that his body was dehydrated.
So without hesitation, he picked up the bowl of porridge and slurped down a big mouthful!
"Glug—"
Su Yao eagerly stared at Lu Xuan, anticipating his reaction.
As a result, after drinking a big mouthful of porridge, Lu Xuan's expression instantly darkened.
Without saying a word, he picked up the rice and frantically shoveled it into his mouth.
Su Yao: "?"
Could it be that it was too delicious, too good with rice?
After a long while, Lu Xuan finally put down his bowl with a sigh of relief.
"How is it? Is it good?"
Su Yao ate the other dishes, asking as casually as possible.
Lu Xuan's expression was strange, and he signaled Su Yao to take a sip.
"The taste is good, but it's a little weird, why don't you try it?"
"Oh."
Su Yao thought she had forgotten to add some seasoning, so she naively took a big sip.
Seeing how much Lu Xuan enjoyed it, she was also a little thirsty.
And then...
"Pfft—"
As soon as the porridge entered her mouth, Su Yao's face instantly contorted, and she spat it all out.
It all landed on the ground.
There were other people eating in the lounge, and when they saw this scene, their expressions instantly changed!
Was there poison in today's lunchbox?
Immediately afterwards, they heard Su Yao's loud shout.
"This is way too salty!!!"
Su Yao had never drunk such salty porridge in her life!
Lu Xuan was gloating and secretly laughing on the opposite side.
He was even worse off!
He didn't even have time to spit it out, and two mouthfuls of extremely salty porridge went straight into his stomach, and his throat still felt uncomfortable.
Hearing Lu Xuan's laughter, Su Yao glared.
She pointed at him angrily. "Lu Xuan! You knew it was so salty, and you still let me try it?"
"You bastard!"
Hearing this commotion, the people around them started whispering again.
Spread the word!
Director Lu cheated!
What? My chance has come?
Facing Su Yao's accusation, Lu Xuan shrugged innocently. "I already said the taste was a little weird."
"Besides, this porridge wasn't made by Auntie Liu, was it? Auntie Liu wouldn't make such a mistake."
"...Uh."
Hearing this, Su Yao belatedly realized.
This porridge seemed to have been made by her.
But, why was it so salty?
That's right!
Su Yao suddenly remembered that she seemed to have wanted to make the porridge sweeter, so she added some sugar at the end.
Could it be...that was salt?!
Realizing that she had made a blunder, Su Yao's ears immediately turned red.
Are you an idiot, Su Yao!
You can't even tell the difference between salt and sugar!
Only a newbie would make such a mistake... Wait? I seem to be a newbie.
Her guilt lessened a lot, but Su Yao was still very remorseful.
She clearly wanted to make a bowl of sweet preserved egg and lean meat porridge for Lu Xuan, but she didn't expect to put in the wrong seasoning and turn it into salty porridge.
This made Su Yao, who always demanded a lot from herself, unable to accept it.
"I'm sorry."
She lowered her head and apologized in a muffled voice.
"Uh...it's not that serious, is it?"
Actually, Lu Xuan understood that the porridge wasn't made by Auntie Liu when he first tasted the salty porridge.
But he didn't expect that Su Yao would cook it herself.
Judging from her appearance, it was specially made for him.
And it was obvious that it was her first time making it, otherwise she wouldn't have mixed up sugar and salt.
The former screen goddess, now learning to cook for him, such treatment touched Lu Xuan's heart.
He knew that she was doing it to repay him for the help he had given her before.
But this feeling still moved Lu Xuan a little.
So seeing Su Yao so remorseful, Lu Xuan also felt a little guilty.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out his hand.
He gently patted Su Yao's head.
He said softly, "It's really okay, it's just a mouthful of salty porridge. I've even eaten salty zongzi!"
"Salty zongzi? Can that even be eaten!"
Su Yao's attention was successfully diverted.
She couldn't imagine what salty zongzi would taste like.
Lu Xuan crossed his arms and proudly raised his head. "Moreover, I ate more than one! One and a half!"
"Wow! That's amazing!"
To be able to eat one and a half salty zongzi, how ruthless is that?!
Su Yao's eyes changed as she looked at Lu Xuan, becoming admiring.
"Of course, let me tell you, when I ate it at the time..."
Lu Xuan started to boast.
The people around them, seeing this scene, sighed regretfully.
Spread the word!
Director Lu and Goddess Su have made up again!
What? They even have children?
Lu Xuan: "..."
After eating, Su Yao had already walked out of her remorseful mood.
She raised her small fist and made a solemn promise to Lu Xuan.
"Next time! This situation will definitely not happen again next time!"
Lu Xuan smacked his lips, still feeling a little salty.
He nodded. "Mm... okay."
"Also, thank you."
