After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1078 - 570: Cohabiting Couple
In Zhang Yuxi's new home, Chen Feng rarely engaged in casual conversation with her, and they chatted quite a bit.
Although they had a very close relationship for some time, they didn't really know much about each other, especially their respective family backgrounds.
Through this relatively deep heart-to-heart chat, Chen Feng learned some rather personal information about her. For instance, her father is a math teacher, and her mother is a music teacher, which is why she loved music from a young age. As she grew up, she learned to write lyrics and compose music, and eventually debuted as a singer.
She's an only child, but she has two cousins and a younger cousin, who are all the children of her second uncle, as her father has a brother. Because her parents were both teachers, the policy at the time allowed only one child, making her an only child. However, her second uncle was in business, and having two daughters first, he naturally was unsatisfied.
If the next generation of these two brothers didn't have male heirs to continue the family line, it would be improper. For the older generation, it was a very serious issue, so they had a third child.
Her aunt faced great difficulty during her third pregnancy and had to undergo two abortions to ensure to have a son. After giving birth, they were fined quite a bit of money.
Therefore, this beloved son was spoiled since childhood. Now at thirteen, he's even more adored by the entire family.
Fortunately, this precious cousin of hers has always excelled in academics, consistently being an outstanding student, so he didn't turn out badly.
Zhang Yuxi highlighted this cousin not only because she herself dotes on him but also because her uncle and aunt want to transfer him to study in Xiu Zhou.
For this reason, the couple has planned to buy a school district house in Xiu Zhou, hoping that Zhang Yuxi can help find a suitable house and inquire about which high school has the best teaching quality, so they can buy a house in that school district.
Zhang Yuxi is at a loss for this and hopes Chen Feng can help.
Chen Feng readily agreed, even though he wasn't familiar with this matter. However, his personal assistant, Jin Xinyan, is a local in Xiu Zhou and should have the necessary connections. Assigning this task to her would surely be reliable.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuxi learned more about Chen Feng, roughly understanding his family situation, including his divorce and the fortune he made from stock trading.
Of course, she was tactful enough not to probe deeply about which significant figure Chen Feng had connections with.
They chatted until it was past five in the afternoon, which was already dinner time, and Zhang Yuxi's new home didn't even have a stocked fridge.
So, Zhang Yuxi suddenly suggested that Chen Feng accompany her to the nearby supermarket to buy groceries.
A few hundred meters from her residential community, there was a large shopping mall, inside which was a big supermarket.
With nothing much to do and given that the supermarket was so close, and since he hadn't wandered around a supermarket for ages, Chen Feng agreed.
Being a celebrity, Zhang Yuxi couldn't expose herself directly in public to shop in a supermarket, so she put on a mask.
To avoid drawing attention by being the only one wearing a mask, Chen Feng put one on as well.
Chen Feng drove to the supermarket, and they acted like an ordinary couple, pushing a shopping cart and strolling around, picking things to put in the cart.
Not long after, the cart was filled with various items, the majority of which were bought by Zhang Yuxi.
By the time they returned to the new home, more than two hours had passed. If it weren't for Zhang Yuxi's celebrity status, they would have dined outside.
Chen Feng made two trips up and down the stairs, carrying everything Zhang Yuxi bought upstairs. She stuffed her double-door fridge full to the brim.
For dinner, Zhang Yuxi cooked personally. They didn't prepare any elaborate dishes or rice, just made two bowls of egg noodles as they were both famished. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
After eating the noodles, they both lay contentedly on the living room sofa, with Zhang Yuxi leaning against Chen Feng, very much like a cohabiting couple.
"Do you know how long it's been since I last had an enjoyable shopping trip to the supermarket?"
Zhang Yuxi asked with a smile.
"One or two years, maybe." Chen Feng answered casually.
Zhang Yuxi laughed, "Not that long. But the last time was at the end of last year when I went home for the Lunar New Year. I took my cousins to the supermarket. I just changed my hairstyle to cover half my face and did some necessary makeup, and no one recognized me the whole time.
However, my hometown is just a small county, so it's normal for people not to recognize me. But in a big city like Xiu Zhou, if I dressed up like that for sure people would recognize me."
Chen Feng teased with a smile, "Not necessarily. Actually, you don't need to change your hairstyle or wear makeup, and you don't need to wear a mask. If you go out bare-faced, people probably wouldn't recognize you."
Zhang Yuxi pretended to be displeased, "So, what you mean is I'm not famous yet."
Chen Feng nodded with a smile, "To be honest, you're not at the level where everyone knows you. Besides, you should know that there's a big difference between the way celebrities look with and without makeup. Of course, I'm not saying you're not pretty bare-faced, just that there's a difference."
Zhang Yuxi playfully scolded, "My bare face is no worse than with makeup. I understand what you mean, ultimately, it's because my fame isn't big enough yet, and not enough people recognize me."
She was self-aware; she had only debuted for three or four years and was known for her singing, but only reached the level of a second or third-tier singer, with limited fame and influence, mainly among the younger crowd. It wasn't until later when a TV drama with decent ratings expanded her fame a bit, but she was at most still considered a second-tier artist.
Later, due to limited exposure and no new productions or songs, her popularity declined significantly.
Zhang Jingwen had a similar experience, though last year's "Immortal Destiny" was more popular than the one starring Zhang Yuxi, now even after a year, her popularity and fame have also declined significantly.
Given their current popularity and recognition level, if they appeared bare-faced in the streets or supermarkets in real life, hardly anyone would recognize them.
Even if recognized, there wouldn't be a crowd gathering or anything.
So there's really no need for masks or special disguises.
Of course, Chen Feng didn't say anything too blunt. Instead, he said, "Once 'Green Jade Case' airs, you'd really need to worry about being recognized if you go out."
"Hope so." Zhang Yuxi smiled, then asked, "Want to watch TV?"
"Not really, just watching you is enough." Chen Feng said as he pulled her into his arms, laying her body across his legs, looking down at her.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuxi felt moved, her heartbeat quickened, and her face slowly turned red.
Previously, although she had a liking for Chen Feng, she hadn't quite reached the point of being truly moved. But now, being closely observed by him from above felt completely different.
