Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 - 18 Gifts (2/2)

However, he tried to restrain himself. Currently, making fried cakes and vegetable rolls already left him half-dead from fatigue. If he added another dish, he might not have the energy to cope.

Moreover, earning money had become stable now, and Chen Yu felt no impatience whatsoever.

Additionally, he was curious to see what kind of skills would come from a high-stakes lottery that cost a hundred thousand per draw.

“Chen Yu, what are you thinking about?” Tong Ya suddenly interrupted Chen Yu’s thoughts.

“Nothing much!” Chen Yu responded hastily.

“I’ve replaced the battery for you, and I’ll take this one back to charge!”

Chen Yu did not refuse but simply shook his newly bought mobile phone.

“Thanks for your phone!”

Tong Ya’s cheeks flushed slightly, “Then you must remember my birthday.”

“Definitely!”

Upon receiving Chen Yu’s affirmative response, Tong Ya finally drove away.

Having been tired out by the day’s events, Tuan Tuan quickly lay down in bed and fell asleep.

Chen Yu yawned, checked the perimeter of the food cart, and then got into the vehicle himself.

A film set.

Fang Yuan, wearing her costume and holding her phone, sat there trembling.

However, she quickly masked her emotions and proceeded to erase all the messages on her phone.

“Chen Yu! You’re ruthless.”

Just as Fang Yuan was about to curse out loud, her agent hurried over.

“Dear ancestor! Why are you still here? Hurry on over, today is the best chance to hype up your ‘ship’!”

Fang Yuan quickly composed herself, trying to transform her anger into a look of tender affection.

Then, following her agent’s lead, she approached a popular young actor.

Since the terms had already been negotiated before, their conversation seemed flirtatious but was restrained at the same time.

As Fang Yuan gradually got into character, she repeatedly told herself to forget Tuan Tuan, to forget everything from the past, in order to chase a better future.

Lost in thought, Fang Yuan became even more invested in her role. Coupled with a bit of acting, an unknowing observer might truly believe she and the young idol were an ambiguously romantic couple.

“Sister Fang Yuan, come and have some food! There’s a nighttime scene to shoot later!”

Called by the crew, Fang Yuan then separated from the young actor.

But when she saw that the crew had brought her deep-fried cakes and vegetable turnovers, her brow furrowed.

“Who ordered this? Don’t they know I’m watching my figure? How can I eat such greasy food?”

“Sister Fang Yuan, give it a try! It’s oily but not greasy; it’s a unique find for tens of miles around! If we hadn’t gone early, they might have already sold out.”

Fang Yuan said she wouldn’t eat it, but she couldn’t resist when the fragrance wafted into her nose.

She unconsciously bit into a vegetable turnover and felt as if she had been struck by an electric shock.

“Ah, this is delicious! Where did it come from?”

“It’s several blocks away from here! If Sister Fang Yuan wants more, you can wait for the stall to open tomorrow morning, I think they start at three or four a.m.”

Fang Yuan maintained her elegance and finished the vegetable turnover and sugar cake in her hands.

“Since we have a night shoot today anyway, why don’t we go to this breakfast spot early tomorrow morning? My treat.”

Upon hearing this, all the crew members became excited.

It was also their first time tasting such delicious food.

The popular young actor nearby was also conquered by the fried cakes in his hand, gobbling them up voraciously.
