Fang Zhicheng glanced around and saw a white arm stretched out from a distance. He saw Xie Yuxin wearing sunglasses that covered half of her pretty face. She waved her hand, signaling him to hurry over. When Fang Zhicheng approached, he found that a beautiful woman with good temperament was sitting opposite Xie Yuxin. The beautiful woman was wearing a blue lace hat, and only half of her face could be vaguely seen.

Xie Yuxin smiled and introduced the beautiful woman: "This is Fang Zhicheng."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and greeted the beauty. When the beauty raised her head, he was slightly startled and asked curiously: "Du Xi? Are you Du Xi?"

Du Xi is now a top female star in China, dabbling in singing, TV dramas, and movies. If Xie Yuxin is Yinzhou's idol, then Du Xi's level is undoubtedly higher, and she is very famous across the country.

Compared to the youthful, cute and lively girl-next-door temperament on the screen, Du Xi appears to be much more cold and mature in reality. She looked a little serious, nodded slightly to Fang Zhicheng as a greeting, and said softly: "Hello, I'm Du Xi."

Xie Yuxin felt the atmosphere was a bit frozen. She introduced herself to Fang Zhicheng, "Du Xi is my best friend. I met her when I was hosting a show before. At first, I hated her condescending attitude, but I found that it was just an illusion. Once you get to know her, you will find that she is a woman who is easy to get along with."

Du Xi curled her lips and sighed: "I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who thinks I'm easy to get along with."

Xie Yuxin smiled faintly and said, "People call you the girl next door, which shows your affinity."

Du Xi said frankly: "That was my acting. In real life, I like to keep people at a distance."

Fang Zhicheng smiled, thinking that Du Xi's words and deeds were indeed different from what he remembered, as if she was living in her own world. However, her attitude towards Xie Yuxin was obviously different.

Du Xi got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Xie Yuxin stared at Fang Zhicheng with a playful look and asked with a smile: "Mr. Fang, you don't seem to say much today? Where is your previous arrogance?"

Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "Two beauties bickering, so I'm naturally happy to sit back and watch the fight."

Xie Yuxin squinted at Fang Zhicheng and said angrily, "I misjudged you. You are still as rude as ever."

Fang Zhicheng took a sip of lemonade and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to know Du Xi. Can you help me get her autograph later? My favorite movie she starred in is "The Girl Next Door Is a Killer". Her acting is really great. When she needs to be cute, she is so cute that it makes people heartbroken. When she needs to be ruthless, she is so cool that it bubbles with coolness."

Xie Yuxin snorted and said, "If you want it, just ask for it yourself. I can't afford to lose face with that person, otherwise she will laugh at me."

Fang Zhicheng chuckled and said, "It's just a joke, don't be angry. However, it seems that you and Du Xi have a very special story."

Xie Yuxin nodded and smiled: "Du Xi is a person who lives in her own world. She looks very friendly on the outside, but in fact, few people can get into her heart. I used to host a talk show, and when I was chatting with her privately, we suddenly got into a deep conversation. As a result, Du Xi pestered me and thought I was qualified to be her bestie."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "This experience is indeed legendary."

Xie Yuxin nodded and said, "After Lele was born, she naturally became Lele's godmother. When she found out about Lele's kidnapping yesterday, she postponed several important schedules and rushed to Yinzhou. She knew that you helped a lot in this matter, so she wanted to meet you. If you want to ask for Zhang's autograph, I believe she will definitely not refuse."

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and laughed at himself: "It seems that saving Lele is a very cost-effective thing. It is even related to a first-class star."

After Du Xi came back, Xie Yuxin started ordering food. Secret Garden mainly serves Western food, so Fang Zhicheng ordered a steak and pasta, while Du Xi only ordered some fruit. As a star, she must strictly control her weight. Du Xi has a very slim figure and is obviously very particular about her diet.

After the dishes were served, the three chatted with each other. Du Xi gave people a very cold feeling and almost never spoke actively. She would only answer a few words when Xie Yuxin asked about her schedule.

Because the atmosphere for chatting was not good, the eating process was very fast. After Fang Zhicheng finished cleaning up the steak, Xie Yuxin also put down her knife and fork, smiled and got up to go to the bathroom.

There were only Du Xi and Fang Zhicheng at the table, and the atmosphere became even more awkward.

Fang Zhicheng coughed dryly, and finally mustered up the courage to stammer, "Ms. Du... I am... your fan... May I ask if I can ask you for... an autograph?"

"Your request surprises me!" Du Xi shrugged, "You can ask me for something else..."

Fang Zhicheng pondered for a while and said awkwardly, "I wonder if Miss Du can provide anything else? Perhaps, can you take a photo with me?"

Du Xi was finally amused by Fang Zhicheng's silly look. She chuckled and said, "Le Le is very important to me. Autographed photos, group photos, these are too insignificant."

Fang Zhicheng nodded to show his understanding, but his face was still embarrassed as he said, "Lele is a very lovely girl. I saved her for no other purpose. If I save her as my starting point, it would be a bit dirty to ask Miss Du for something. In fact, I would rather just ask for an autograph as a fan."

Du Xi nodded and sighed, "You are indeed a very special person. No wonder Yu Xin looks at you differently."

Xie Yuxin came back from the bathroom and saw Du Xi and Fang Zhicheng chatting. She narrowed her eyes and sighed softly, "I seemed to hear someone mention my name just now. Is he saying something bad about me?"

"You think too much." Du Xi curled her lips, glared at Xie Yuxin, and smiled unhappily. Then, she asked Fang Zhicheng, "Does your phone have a camera function? The photographer is here, can he take a photo for us?"

Seeing Du Xi readily agree to his request, Fang Zhicheng was overjoyed. He tremblingly took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera mode, and said to Xie Yuxin with a smile: "Please help me!"

"You're a useless guy!" Xie Yuxin scolded with a smile on her face.

Fang Zhicheng moved to the opposite side and sat next to Du Xi. Du Xi was very good at finding the feeling of the camera. She hugged Fang Zhicheng's arm in her arms, then turned her cheek to be almost completely close to Fang Zhicheng, while pouting and making a scissors hand gesture.

"Click..."

Xie Yuxin decisively pressed the shutter, stretched out her finger, and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, your expression is too stiff, take another one."

Fang Zhicheng didn't dare to move. The fragrance from Du Xi's body penetrated into every pore of his body, making his scalp tingle, so he could only nod reluctantly and stiffly.

Du Xi secretly laughed at Fang Zhicheng for being too nervous, and deliberately teased Fang Zhicheng by putting her mouth to Fang Zhicheng's cheek, making a kiss gesture. Xie Yuxin frowned slightly, shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly, but still pressed the shutter, stared at the photo carefully for a few times, and sighed softly: "This one is not bad."

Fang Zhicheng felt his palms were full of sweat. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you both. I'm going to the bathroom now."

When Fang Zhicheng hurriedly disappeared from sight, Xie Yuxin and Du Xi looked at each other and then laughed with great joy.

Fang Zhicheng walked into the bathroom, found a squat toilet, and urinated. He found that his back was already covered in sweat. He cursed himself in his heart. She was just a woman, not a monk. Why did he treat Du Xi as a tiger

After returning to his seat, Fang Zhicheng cleared his throat and was about to regain his manliness when he was suddenly interrupted by a rapid phone ring. Du Xi took out the phone from her pink leather bag and answered it. A hysterical pleading voice came from the other side: "My aunt, my dear aunt, I can't stand it anymore on the set..."

Du Xi said impatiently: "It will be there in two hours, just hold on for a while."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, stood up, and sighed reluctantly to Xie Yuxin: "I'm sorry, Yuxin. I have to go to work on an announcement now. I will come to see you and Lele when I have time."
