Chapter 24: Benefits of Leeks

"You weren't spotted when you came here?" Shen Liang asked with a frown. Many celebrities lived in this community, and paparazzi often squatted outside.

Tang Rou smiled awkwardly and shook the mask on her hand. "I came with full gear."

Shen Liang noticed that Tang Rou was wearing a long windbreaker with a hood and big sunglasses on top of her hair. His heart was a little more settled, and his tone softened. "How come you are here so late?"

He opened the door, and the two entered the door one after another.

Tang Rou smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I missed you. Is this reason okay?" She was sad that Shen Liang didn't ask why she had ignored him for a few days, but she only said he missed him.

After recording the show for a whole day, running and jumping from a goose and then killing a fish, he was stuck on the road for more than two hours on the way back. He felt that his whole body was going to fall apart. At the moment, Shen Lian had no energy to talk about love. He just wanted to wash, take a bath, then lay down like a corpse.

Tang Rou saw Shen Liang's slightly cold attitude, and her expression became dull.

Previously, Shen Liang suddenly questioned her because he found out about her second Weibo account, so she deliberately ignored him for a few days to play hard to catch.

But she didn't expect that Shen Liang would turn around and actually appear on the same show as Tang Qiaoqiao. The relationship between the two seemed to be a lot closer, and the headline was extremely lively.

Some netizens also said that they are both talented and attractive. They are right for each other.

Tang Rou never expected things to go like this.

Before, Shen Liang was extremely disgusted with Tang Qiaoqiao, but now he was so devoted to eating the food she cooked as if he had forgotten their contradiction.

Tang Qiaoqiao and Shen Liang were on the news together openly and honestly, but she, his genuine girlfriend, couldn’t be seen at all. She had to sneak around every time she came here. Tang Rou was very unwilling.

Shen Liang collapsed on the sofa. Tang Rou restrained her expression and sat down on his side. Her tone was very gentle, "Was it very tiring to record the program? How about I massage your head? "

Shen Liang yawned and waved his hand. "Don't bother. I just want to take a hot bath."

Tang Rou thought about it and said, "I watched the show. You and Qiaoqiao were getting along quite well.."

Shen Liang glanced at her and said, "After all, it was in front of the camera. In front of the live audience, it is not right to fight face to face."

"Also, I didn't know Qiaoqiao could cook."

"Ah, her cooking is quite good." Shen Liang pursed his lips. Even on the road, he was still reminiscing about the beautiful taste of the goose in the clay pot.

Tang Rou's face became cold, but she still pretended to be innocent and said, "Qiaoqiao is actually not bad. I told you before that the matter about her entangling you before was a misunderstanding." Tang Rou said casually as if she was helping Tang Qiaoqiao to explain.

Shen Liang nodded in agreement. "Maybe I did not know her well enough."

Tang Rou was stunned. 'Why? Had their relationship had developed to the point where he wants to know Tang Qiaoqiao?'

"She is married to your uncle now. Why don't we find a chance to get together, the four of us? We are all relatives." Tang Rou said the word "uncle" with pressure.

However, Shen Liang disagreed, "Hold on, I just ate a few dishes from her. It doesn't mean that I fully like her as a person. Besides, my uncle and I have not communicated much. It would be awkward to meet."

The last time he went to Shen Yue's, he was rushed out rudely. He was still shaking when he thought of his little uncle.

Tang Rou felt a little relieved. She knew that her highly-regarded boyfriend would never look upon a hillbilly.

Tang Rou continued, "I think when I marry you in the future, we will become a family with her and your uncle. It would be good always to have a good relationship."

'Marry?'

Shen Liang frowned when he thought of this. The popularity of a male idol was very fragile, so marriage had not yet appeared in his future plans.

He didn’t know what's wrong, lately, Tang Rou often brought this topic from time to time, as if she was urging him. In the past, Tang Rou would fully support his career.

"We'll talk about those things later." Shen Liang squeezed his eyebrows, "It's a bit late. Go back earlier. Did you drive here? Should I find someone to send you off?"

It's the same again. Every time she mentioned marriage, Shen Liang would find an excuse to turn it around. He was a popular star, and he was not free to get married or fall in love. She understood this, but she couldn’t just sit back and wait forever.

Who knows how many women who have unregistered relationships with entertainment stars in private ended up losing them in time.

Although she was still the daughter of the Tang family in name, her biological parents had passed away. This was one of the reasons why Tang Qiaoqiao was taken back. But this false identity couldn't stop her from worrying for a moment. She could only rely on Shen Liang's love for her.

"Can't you send me away?" Tang Rou softly acted like a baby against his arm.

Shen Liang touched her cheek to coax her and said, "Stop making trouble. If I send you home, what if we are photographed? You are not Tang Qiaoqiao. I don't want you to be scolded by my fans."

Tang Qiaoqiao. Yes, Tang Qiaoqiao again. Does she have to compare everything with her now?

What qualifications does an 18th-line female star have to compare with her?

Tang Rou didn't want to stay any longer in Shen Liang's apartment. She quietly went downstairs, but she saw a suspicious van with a red dot light on the window in the park downstairs.

It is no doubt a paparazzi.

Tang Rou didn't show her face. After wandering downstairs for a minute or two, she seemed to be holding her face nervously. She pulled her hat tight and hurried away.

After returning to where she lives, she bought a cup of coffee when she passed a 24-hour coffee shop. Then she held up the coffee to cover half of her face and exposed her eyes, and then took a selfie.

She uploaded it on her Weibo: 【"Drinking a cup of coffee to refresh myself. Worked all night. (Love)"】

Tang Rou's Weibo had more than 200,000 fans. She often shared her leisurely Bai Fumei life.

【Sister's eyes are so beautiful. She doesn't show her whole face too much】

【Sister's windbreaker looks so good. It seems to be a new style from the Xiang family. Slum girls can't afford it, woo woo】

【Beautiful sisters should pay attention to rest, don't stay up late】

Tang Rou read the messages, smiled slightly, and returned home satisfied.

The next day was clear. Tang Qiaoqiao's vegetable garden was well organized. Various vegetables, gourds, and fruits were fresh and tender, just like a small paradise. Even if she didn’t eat those vegetables, just by absorbing the qi from the vegetable field, it was enough to make her feel more energetic.

Tang Qiaoqiao also asked Aunt Wang to buy a cage of chickens and put them in a fence in the corner. The chickens grew fast and would be fully grown in a few months. The chickens grown within this qi package would definitely be delicious.

Tang Qiaoqiao went around the vegetable garden and found that the leeks were very plump. She carried a small vegetable basket, took a handful of plump leeks, and pinched three or four chives by the way.

Shen Yue watched Tang Qiaoqiao quietly at the entrance of the vegetable garden. If someone told him six months ago that the back garden he cherished would become a big vegetable garden, he would definitely say that they were crazy.

Now he felt that there is nothing wrong with this craziness.

"Eat leeks at noon. Eating leeks is good for your health." Tang Qiaoqiao said with a grin.

He suspected that she was suggesting something ambiguous, but there was no evidence.

Shen Yue was speechless. "Take away the thoughts that are not supposed to be in your mind."

Tang Qiaoqiao curled her lips and contemptuously said, "I meant that it is good for your legs. Only a dirty mind would see lewdness everywhere."

Shen Yue: ...

When talking about leeks, most people would think of dumplings. Tang Qiaoqiao wanted to eat dumplings that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

[T/N: In traditional Chinese medicine, leeks are "warm" herbs that help reinforce the kidneys, warm the body, and activate blood circulation. So it could help with a certain men's (ahem) function.]
