The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Chapter 212: Continuing the Shura Scene before Dinner

After Shen Ji heard Zhou Siming's words, he did have some heart attacks in his heart. Because every dish he ordered was different from what Lu Qingxi had just reported, which made him feel out of place in this occasion.

Shen Ji smiled, and with his unique calmness and wisdom, he readjusted the direction of the conversation: "In fact, I think that when two people get along, differences in taste can often bring a lot of fun. If the tastes are exactly the same, wouldn't there be less surprise in exploring new tastes every time we share food? Complementary tastes can make the relationship between two people more colorful."

When Zhou Siming heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but then he returned to his usual fake smile: "Oh? Teacher Shen really knows how to get along with others. But I think, for the Zhou family, what we value more is sharing and companionship. The Zhou family's financial resources really don't require us to haggle over a meal." There was a subtle arrogance in his words, as if implying that he and Shen Ji were not on the same level.

Shen Ji nodded slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes: "Mr. Zhou is right, but what I mean is not financial resources, but attitude towards life. Whether there is enough food or not has no direct correlation with whether two people have similar appetites. What is important is whether we can feel each other's care and concern from the food."

The two of them exchanged words, and there was a subtle smell of gunpowder between their words, as if a battle without gunpowder was going on. Lu Qingxi listened quietly on the side. She did not participate in the argument, but her presence was like a barrier, allowing both of them to regain a bit of rationality.

Finally, Lu Qingxi spoke softly, breaking the tense atmosphere: "Is the meal ready here? I'm a little hungry." Her voice was as pleasant as a clear spring, and instantly stopped both of them from arguing.

The attendant replied respectfully: "Because it is freshly made, it may take a little time. But please rest assured, we will prepare it for you as soon as possible."

Lu Qingxi's words made both of them realize their own gaffe. The girl they admired didn't pay attention to them, and this verbal dispute was a waste of time. The two looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

There was a subtle awkwardness in the air, like an invisible veil gently covering the entire space. After a brief silence, Lu Qingxi felt a little bored. So she decided to check out the dresses that were photographed in the afternoon to break the silence.

"Hello, may I take a look at the clothing styles needed for this afternoon's photo shoot?" Lu Qingxi's voice was soft and clear, breaking the silence in the air.

The attendant immediately responded, "Of course, Miss Lu. I'll arrange it for you right away." He quickly stood up and ran to the door to communicate Lu Qingxi's needs with the staff of the director team.

After a while, two assistants came in holding iPads and handed the devices to Lu Qingxi and Shen Ji respectively. The assistants smiled and said, "Teacher Shen, Teacher Lu, these are the clothing styles you can choose this afternoon. Please take a look first. Since the shooting location is in this castle, please pay special attention to whether the dress matches the scene."

Lu Qingxi took the iPad, nodded slightly, and then carefully browsed the dress styles on the screen. Each wedding dress was exquisitely designed, and the details were breathtaking. She swiped the screen gently, as if she was in a dreamy wedding dress world. However, because each dress was so perfect, Lu Qingxi fell into a dilemma. She felt as if she was suffering from choice difficulty.

Shen Ji also picked up the iPad, but he didn't pay much attention to the men's clothing. His eyes stayed on the wedding dresses, carefully observing the design of each one. He secretly imagined that these wedding dresses would be even more beautiful on Lu Qingxi. He turned his head to look at Lu Qingxi and found that she was in a state of confusion, so he gently put down the iPad in his hand, stood up and walked to her side.

"Qingxi, I think these wedding dresses are very suitable for you. Each one has its own unique charm, you just need to choose the one you like best." Shen Ji's voice was full of tenderness.

When Lu Qingxi heard Shen Ji's suggestion, she frowned slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. She looked at the wedding dress styles on the screen and muttered, "But I really can't choose. They all look unique..." This unintentional coquetry made Shen Ji's ears slightly red, and he cleared his throat uncomfortably.

Zhou Siming, who was standing opposite, frowned when he saw this. Although he knew that they were discussing the costumes for the photo shoot and that they were partners, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He told himself to be rational, but as he watched the two people getting closer and closer, he couldn't help himself.

He stood up from his seat, walked between the two of them, and gently pushed Shen Ji, who was concentrating on Lu Qingxi. Shen Ji staggered and almost fell down due to the sudden force. After he stabilized his body, he looked at Zhou Siming unhappily, frowned, and asked in his tone: "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Siming seemed not to have heard Shen Ji's words. He turned his head and looked at Lu Qingxi gently, trying to keep his voice calm: "Qingxi, if you have trouble choosing a dress, I can give you some reference suggestions." There was a hint of concern in his eyes, as if he wanted to make Lu Qingxi notice his presence in this way.

When Lu Qingxi heard Zhou Siming's voice, she looked up in surprise and looked into Zhou Siming's eyes full of concern. She was slightly stunned, then smiled warmly and said softly, "Mr. Zhou, you are so thoughtful. I really have a hard time making a decision. If you can give me some advice, that would be great. I would be very grateful."

Shen Ji watched the interaction between the two, and his displeasure became more and more obvious. He tried to suppress this emotion. After all, at this moment, he understood that helping Lu Qingxi choose a suitable dress was the top priority. So, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and re-participated in the discussion.

"Qingxi, let's watch it together." Shen Ji smiled and walked to the side of Lu Qingxi and Zhou Siming. He secretly exerted his strength and skillfully pulled Zhou Siming to his seat. He tried his best to make his movements look natural, but a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Siming was caught off guard by Shen Ji's sudden action. He tried to pull his hand away from Shen Ji, but Shen Ji held it tightly, so he had to give up. He glared at Shen Ji, but Shen Ji seemed not to see it, just concentrating on looking at the wedding dress styles on the screen.

"Teacher Zhou, you should watch it with me." Shen Ji said lightly, but his tone was unquestionable. Since Zhou Siming didn't allow him to get close to Lu Qingxi, then neither of them should get close.

Zhou Siming rolled his eyes in his heart, but since he was not as strong as the other person, he had to bite the bullet and go look at wedding dresses with Shen Ji.
