So direct! So smooth!

"Of course. Why would you be a bother?" Zhang Lian tilted her head on the man beside her. "We're dating so let's not be awkward with each other!"

Zhang Lian looked back at path they were walking.

Although Zhang Lian didn't noticed, Li Zuo Jin's face flushed as he can't stop himself from smiling like a madman. Unconsciously he covered his mouth using his left hand as he looked at the floorboard of the passage.

He couldn't respond to Zhang Lian at all! It was too smooth! How come she can pull off that kind of line? His mind was in state of chaos, he could only think about his heart that was thumping crazily and how to calm it.

When Zhang Lian noticed that Li Zuo Jin hadn't responded, she turned her head towards him again.

Zhang Lian showed confused expression, "What's wrong?"

Li Zuo Jin removed his hand from his mouth, "Nothing." He regained his composure then nervously asked, "Can we eat together next time?"

Li Zuo Jin has been thinking about this for the whole time. Even though they have only started dating the other day, they haven't had a chance to be alone except this time. He wanted them yo become closer, he thought that spending time alone would be best for that.

Zhang Lian paused for a second, this made Li Zuo Jin anxious. Did Zhang Lian didn't want to eat with him?

"Sure!" Said Zhang Lian. "Let's eat out next time. Should we go on a date?" Zhang Lian asked casually. Li Zuo Jin saw her eyes shining and shimmering like a kid who was given a candy by her parents. She had an excited smile in her face.

This time, Li Zuo Jin was utterly flabbergasted. Did Zhang Lian just asked him out? She was so direct! So smooth!

Zhang Lian actually look like an excited child, Li Zuo Jin didn't know that the nation's wife would have this side. The nation's wife was always calm, mature, honest and polite, very few would see her like this!

"Yeah, let's go on our next day off," Li Zuo Jin answered without thinking, only when he saw Zhang Lian's eyes that had a gentle but excited look he realized what he had said.

"That's a deal then!" Zhang Lian initiated a handshake as a sign of deal. Li Zuo Jin shook her hands nervously.

It was their first time touching each other's body!! Li Zuo Jin wanted to look cool however his blood was rushing into his face, he looked like a tomato at the moment.

Li Zuo Jin didn't notice that they were near the end of the long passage. He only did when he could saw that crew preparing for the last scene they were going to take.

"Good luck!" Said Zhang Lian they approached the end of the passage.

Li Zuo Jin felt warmth in his heart.

There was still a hint of awkwardness between him and Zhang Lian, nevertheless it was lessen, they can finally talk normally again. That small improvement made him happy.

Li Zuo Jin and Zhang Lian parted ways. Zhang Lian went to the rest area where they stayed earlier.

Li Zuo Jin saw in the corner of his eyes that only Han Lue was left there, he even changed his clothes, from the traditional one to casual one. Jian Shufen perhaps left to retouched the her make-up by the artist.

Li Zuo Jin also retouched his make-up.

As the artist was doing his make-up, he still couldn't forget their conversation. Zhang Lian's soft and warm voice when she invited him to have a date in their next day off kept ringing in his head.

Li Zuo Jin's head was in his own world, he didn't even noticed that the make-up was already done. He felt embarrassed to his make-up artist, his mind drifted so much for the day!

The shoot went well, there wasn't any retakes for the scene as they acted excellently.

Everyone can see how Li Zuo Jin's acting improved a lot and they were pleased that he wasn't dragging other actors and actresses down.

The crew wrap up, Li Zuo Jin was removing his make up when someone asked called him. He recognized the voiced as Han Lue's.

"Little brother Jin," Han Lue said as he approached Li Zuo Jin. The lead actor looked at the guy, "I was supposed to leave the site," Han Lue paused. The actor was already at the back of Li Zou Jin. "But there's a lot of reporters out there! There were even fans! If I go out I would be squeeze by them. My manager said that we'll go after you guys leave," Han Lue sighed and patted Li Zuo Jin's arms, "Good luck to you later."

Li Zuo Jin wondered, were there really tons of reporters and fans out there? And... Zhang Lian haven't left?!
