Chapter 48 – Boiled Fish

When filming before, Su Jin never ate boxed meals from the production crew. During breaks, there was always an exceptional delivery service from a five-star restaurant. That’s why they didn’t expect that Su Jin would not be given special treatment today.

The thing is, Su Jin was always taken care of by Mu Xiulun, her big financial backer, aka fake boyfriend. 

Naturally, food, clothing, housing, and transportation were arranged by his subordinates. However, Su Jishi had already “broken up” with Mu Xiulun; thus, no takeout from a five-star hotel arrived.

Seeing her agitated expression, Ashan quickly reminded her. “Good girls can’t say dirty words!”

“I don’t say dirty words!” She turned to Fang Xie. “No box lunch is not a big deal. Let’s get a student to run errands and go to the canteen for a few dishes!”

Fang Xie nodded. A university meal was better than starving. “Well, what would you like to eat?”

Su Jishi smiled widely. “I’ll eat …a braised chicken-please.”

Ashan: “….”

Su Jishi: “Or a big plate of crispy chicken wings.”

Ashan: “……”

Su Jishi began to announce the name of the dishes. “Roasted chicken, fried chicken, hot wings, soy-sauce chicken …”

She looked sincerely at Ashan while reporting the name of the dishes she’d like to eat. Her eyes told him, “Look, I didn’t say dirty words. Please give me these dishes as a reward!”

Fang Xie was knocked down by the series of chickens and felt dizzy. He quickly stopped her. “No, no, no, no, no! Miss Su, Sister Su! Don’t forget that you are still in the fat reduction period; you can’t eat all these things!”

Su Jishi rightfully complained. “Normally when I stay at home, you just feed me grass. Can’t I enjoy my life after all the hard work of today?”

Fang Xie gritted his teeth and reverted. “If you really want to eat meat, just like Miss Zhou, eat a salad without sauce!”

“Have you ever seen a university canteen that offers salad?” She was not in the United States. Although her alma mater restaurant serves Asian dishes, they are all sweet and greasy Chinese noodles. Therefore, she used to eat salad and hamburgers before.

Disapproving earnestly in his heart, Fang Xie didn’t believe in evil and looked around the classroom. He called the small group performers who had just taken part in the play.

Coincidentally, a little girl named Li Juan came out fresh from the oven.

Li Juan had been eavesdropping for a while now. Ah! Although the image of Su Jin was sweet and gentle on TV, this angry and playful Su Jin was more to her liking!

Enthusiastically, Li Juan dragged her rear closer and stood up in front of Fang Xie, who then asked her a favor of buying salad from the canteen.

***

As Su Jishi expected, salad was not available in the university canteen.

The only solution left was to settle for second best. “Do you have boiled dishes in your canteen? For example, boiled spinach, boiled blue flowers, boiled Dutch beans, and boiled asparagus? “

The little fan felt distressed, “Eh? Miss Su eats those at noon?”

Fang Xie was afraid of being accused of abusing artists and quickly said, “It’s not that I keep her from eating! But she is on her diet and must have limited meat consumption. But I allow her to eat seafood, such as boiled shrimps, steamed fish, roasted salmon … “

Su Jishi interrupted him: “In short, I can only eat boiled seafood, right?”

“Yes.”

“That’s all right.” Su Jishi drew a hundred yuan directly from Ashan’s wallet and put it onto the hands of Li Huan . “Did you hear that?” Just as my manager said, please buy me a boiled fish.”

Fang Xie: “???”

Ashan: “???”

Li Juan responded sweetly, “All right! “
