Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Young and Impetuous

"Ah?" Yang Xiaoxi was startled, was Lu Nian inviting her for dinner?

No, no, that wasn’t it, he had only mentioned having dinner together, not treating her, and now Lu Nian had brought something with him, so it seemed that she should be the one to invite him to dinner instead.

With that thought, Yang Xiaoxi quickly nodded, "Mianmian once took me to a restaurant that was quite good, I’ll take you there."

"Let’s go!"

Lu Nian stepped out, and Yang Xiaoxi hurriedly followed behind him.

Lu Nian, in his thirties this year, wore a pair of glasses for nearsightedness and exuded a mature and steady aura, with a touch of elegance. It was obvious he was a cultured man who’d been educated.

Besides, he had been the one to introduce Yang Xiaoxi and Shen Mianmian to the film industry, taking extra care of them during filming. Yang Xiaoxi had a good impression of him and felt like he was an elder brother.

Lu Nian was also very gentlemanly, seemingly intentionally matching Yang Xiaoxi’s pace, not walking too fast.

They soon reached the restaurant Yang Xiaoxi had mentioned. Lu Nian had assumed the place she was taking him to would at least be a decent-looking restaurant. He hadn’t expected it to be a small, everyday eatery with just six tables. This was the first time someone had taken him to such a place for a meal, yet Lu Nian didn’t look down on it; instead, he found it quite intriguing.

Yang Xiaoxi didn’t notice Lu Nian’s expression, and politely handed him the menu, "Director Lu, take a look at what you’d like to eat. The food here is really delicious. Mianmian and I both like coming here."

"I’m not picky, just order whatever you think is good," said Lu Nian.

Finding the back-and-forth a bit tedious, Yang Xiaoxi randomly ordered a few dishes, both meat and vegetables. After tasting a few bites, Lu Nian complimented that the food was indeed delicious. Happy to hear this, Yang Xiaoxi chattered away to Lu Nian about her past with Shen Mianmian.

"Sometimes when Mianmian and I don’t want to cook, we come here to eat. We both like the taste here. Speaking of which, I owe it to Mianmian for taking care of me; otherwise, I would have been so pathetic on my own, and I wouldn’t have had the chance to star in your movie."

Lu Nian followed her story, "You and Mianmian are close, you’re both from Licheng. Did you know each other since childhood?"

Yang Xiaoxi shook her head, "We met in high school. My dad was the principal of Licheng No. 3 High School. Back then, my grades were good, I was one of the top students in our class. Then Mianmian, the top student in the whole city, also came to No. 3 High School. With her grades, she definitely should have gone to No. 1 High School. I thought she was stealing my thunder and had quite an issue with her, so I kept picking fights. But Mianmian never took me seriously. It wasn’t until her desk mate, in order to save me from transferring schools, that I started getting along with Mianmian. After that, we were admitted to Beijing University together."

Remembering her past with Shen Mianmian in Licheng, Yang Xiaoxi found it amusing – how could she have been so naive, thinking she could overshadow Shen Mianmian.

"Youthful exuberance," laughed Lu Nian out loud. "Though Mianmian is young, she seems to be quite steady and sensible. Being with her, you can definitely avoid a lot of detours."

"That’s for sure," Yang Xiaoxi nodded. "Mianmian has been great to me. Even the place where I live now was arranged for her by Brother He, and she let me stay without asking for rent. She often buys things for me and never quibbles over such matters. So, if anyone bullies Mianmian in the future, they’re bullying me, and I will never allow it."
