Dilraba's rise to fame began with her appearance on Running Man.

"Hmph! Hehehe!" Guan Xiaotong hmphed and made a face to express her dissatisfaction, then quickly hid behind Lu Han.

Lu Han was amused by her somewhat childish behavior and smiled. For the first time, she felt that this little sister was not only pretty, but also quite interesting.

Yao Yitian picked up the megaphone at the opportune moment: "Alright! The recording of the first episode is now complete! Thank you all for your hard work!"

At his command, the crowd began to disperse, and staff members stepped forward to pack up the equipment.

The guests started to leave, and Chen He darted over to Deng Zhe, enthusiastically putting his arm around his shoulder and flashing a mischievous grin reminiscent of Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Deng Zhe, come on! Today's recording was great, I'm so happy, I have to treat you to drinks! Come on, I've already booked the place! For the next recording, remember to team up with me, we guarantee a win!"

He had barely finished speaking when Deng Chao rushed over, yelling, "Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

Without any hesitation, he pulled Chen He's hand off Deng Zhe's shoulder and then pulled Deng Zhe closer to himself.

"This is my brother!! My real brother! I'm the one who invited him! Get out of my way! Don't try to get close to me!"

"Kiss my ass!" Chen He retorted immediately. "We're clearly cousins! Cousins ​​don't count as brothers, understand?"

Caught between the two, Deng Zhe looked utterly hopeless, as if his head was about to explode from all the noise.

He subconsciously glanced at Reba not far away and gave her a "help" look.

Reba felt his gaze, but instead of going to his rescue, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

She then turned and walked towards Guan Xiaotong, and the two girls walked out hand in hand, chatting and laughing.

Deng Zhe: "..." He felt like he had been abandoned by the world.

Fatty Di, you just wait, wait till we get back and see how I deal with you.

Let me go hungry... never mind, going hungry can easily cause health problems.

Let her gain weight first, then we can supervise her to lose weight.

In the end, Chen He became the host of the meal, citing that the venue had already been booked.

The nine people boarded the production team's bus, chatting and laughing. The driver, guided by Chen He, arrived at the hotel they had booked.

The car stopped in front of a restaurant with a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere. Sure enough, the sign read "Old Wang's Private Kitchen".

"We're here!" Chen He stood up first and called to everyone, "Come on, everyone get off! Let me tell you, don't let this unassuming place fool you, the food is amazing!"

Nine people filed in. The owner, who clearly recognized Chen He, greeted them warmly: "Brother He is here! We've reserved a private room for you!"

"Thanks for your hard work, Lao Wang! Serve the dishes the usual!"

Chen He patted the boss on the shoulder familiarly and led everyone inside into a fairly spacious private room.

There was a large round table in the private room, big enough to accommodate everyone.

As the host, Chen He stood next to the head of the table and greeted everyone:

"Come on in, don't be shy, we're all family here! Find a seat! I've already ordered their signature dishes, I guarantee you'll want more!"

No one objected to this, after all, Chen He was a professional when it came to food.

Deng Zhe found a seat away from Deng Chao and Chen He, and Reba immediately pulled her newly acquainted girlfriend to sit next to him.

Dilraba sat to his left, and Guan Xiaotong sat to Dilraba's left.

Lu Han glanced at her, then calmly pulled out the chair to Guan Xiaotong's left and sat down.

He casually turned the upside-down teacup in front of Guan Xiaotong over and put it back in place.

This action did not escape Deng Zhe's eyes; he smiled and revealed a maternal smile.

Sure enough! When fate arrives, it arrives; it seems our Brother Lu is about to fall for it.

Unfortunately, the two were later reported to have broken up. Although neither party officially announced the breakup, the fact that they canceled their birthday wishes to each other and severed ties with their partner companies suggests that they had indeed broken up.

In this life, if given the chance, Deng Zhe wants them to continue their relationship, and he'll see if he can help them then.

The waiter quickly placed the last soup on the rotating tray. "All dishes are served. Please enjoy!"

As soon as the waiter left, Reba eagerly grabbed her chopsticks and reached for the dishes in front of her.

"Snapped!"

Deng Zhe's hand slapped precisely on the back of her hand.

Dilraba recoiled in pain, pulling her hand back and glaring at him with a wronged expression: "What are you doing, you dog assistant! Aren't you going to let me eat?"

Deng Zhe didn't look at her. He reached out and turned the glass turntable, bringing another dish in front of her. "That's pork."

Reba was taken aback and turned to look at the dish that had been covered in sauce. It did indeed look like pork now.

Oh no, I've wronged my assistant! What should I do?

Her lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and her voice carried a sweet tone: "Oh... thank you."

After saying that, he immediately picked up the beef from the plate in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.

She had only taken a few bites when her brows slowly furrowed, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and she muttered softly, "Deng Zhe... this dish isn't as good as yours."

Deng Zhe was just picking up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks when he heard this. He didn't even lift his eyelids. "What else? Who can compare to my culinary skills, Deng Zhe the God of Cookery?"

Guan Xiaotong, sitting on the other side of Dilraba, kept her little ears perked up, listening to what was happening on this side.

Upon hearing the word "cooking," she immediately leaned over curiously, "Sister Ba, is Brother Zhe a good cook?"

When this was mentioned, Dilraba perked up immediately, putting down her chopsticks as if she had found a kindred spirit.

"That's right! My family... ugh! Deng Zhe's cooking is absolutely amazing! He forces me to run every day because he's the one who fattened me up!"

"Wow..." Guan Xiaotong's eyes widened even more, instantly filled with gossip.

She glanced at Deng Zhe, who looked completely at ease, and then at Reba, who was puffed up with a hint of smugness. A mini-drama instantly began playing out in her mind.

What kind of idol drama plot is this? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to make this into a TV series, would it?

I've already thought of a name: "The Arrogant Little Chef and His Foodie Superstar"!

Just as Guan Xiaotong was immersed in the love story he had woven, Lu Han, who was sitting to his left, gently leaned closer:

"I...I can learn to cook too."

Guan Xiaotong, who was interrupted, turned her head sharply to look at him, looking puzzled.

Her big eyes were full of question marks; her young mind simply didn't pick up on this subtle signal.

Just then, Chen He, sitting in the main seat, clapped his hands forcefully.

"Everyone, have a light snack. Such a beautiful occasion, how can we not have some drinks? Come on, let's drink!"

After saying that, he bent down, picked up the beer from beside his feet, and deftly pried it open.

Bottle after bottle, soon more than a dozen green bottles emitting cold air were placed in the center of the turntable.

"Come on, help yourself! Don't be shy!" Chen He greeted them warmly.

Dilraba's eyes lit up instantly, and she stood up to grab it:

"I want to drink! I haven't had beer since I was in school! Let me try some!"

Before her hand even touched the bottle, her wrist was firmly grabbed by another large hand.
