    As for the movie center, my attitude had always been “the movie center is our home and protection depends on everyone”. As you know, I lived here all year round and knew everything here even in which corner lay in the best restaurant as well as the most delicious boxed lunch!

    So bored was I in the hotel, that going to the restaurant I used to visit became a nice choice. Though it was a small restaurant, yet the chef really did a good job in cooking Sichuan food. In the past, I often went there to eat stir-fry when working late at night, and even gained a lot of weight because of that, thus making Kevin have to order me to lose weight and say no to midnight snack.

    Passing through numerous alleys, finally, I found this Sichuan restaurant. I didn’t expect that they’ve already got busy right now. There were almost no empty seats before the mealtime.

    Finally I sat down at a free table in the corner, but the waiter didn’t come to take my order for a long time. Therefore, I simply took the paper and pen and wrote down what I needed, according to my familiarity with their order practice.

    The most classic Sichuan cuisine must be Boiled Beef, Cold Boiled Pork with Garlic Puree and Pork Lungs in Chili Sauce. But it was too much for me to finish by my own, so I reluctantly must sell, only ordered a Boiled Beef and added a Mapo Tofu.

    Just wrote down, the waiter came over. He gave me a knowing smile at once as I handed the written menu. Clearly he knew that those who ordered themselves were regular customers, so there was no need to be too hospitality. All he did was just bringing me a glass of water to wait for the dishes.

    The restaurant is booming indeed! You know, in the past, just a little people knew this hidden delicious restaurant! I never thought that it has been discovered by so many people in just one month. It appeared to me that I have to come in advance next time, or there will be no seats waiting for me!

    Although there were so many guests, the chef didn’t let them wait too long and quickly served the dishes.

    Bright red peppers with beef, and Mapo Tofu with wonderful sauce, every one of the dish seemed extraordinarily appetizing. With a bowl of rice, I suppose I could eat an elephant!

    Just about to eat, the waiter came up and asked, “Miss, excuse me. Would you mind sharing your table? As you see, there are too many guests at the moment.”

    When eating, I didn’t care about anything expect delicious food, so I will not feel uncomfortable if someone else sat beside me.

    After saying thanks, the waiter called someone to come and have a seat.

    At this time, a familiar voice shouted, “Brother, here it is. Come here!”

    I looked up. Isn’t that Jason? Jeffery’s agent? So, the brother he called must be…

    I followed the voice, a casual hoodie, with a casual hat covered the face, but not that intentional. Anyway, though only by his figure, I did recognize that it was Jeffery.

    I hurried to lower my head suddenly, afraid of seeing him. I’m confused that when I was Shirley I cared about him. And now, I am Mary, I still get flustered when meet him.

    According to Jason’s guidance, Jeffrey sat down opposite me. Jason also came and sat next to him, said, “Brother, you can’t imagine how tasty these dishes are! See, the restaurant is almost full up now!”

    Jeffery didn’t reply, just smiled. But I felt hot, didn’t know to stay or leave.

    It was too obvious if I leave right now, and it was also impolite. After all, I’m Mary now. Therefore, I had to pretend to finish my dishes calmly and lowered my head just like an ostrich, praying that Jeffrey wouldn’t notice me.

    As he waited for the waiter to take their order, Jason continued to introduce those specialties, “Brother, you don’t even know the Mapo Tofu here, I dare not say it’s not authentic as a Sichuan man! The peppers are all airlifted from Chengdu. It’s said that someone has been crying just because of the spicy…”

    Jason was still talking about the dishes but Jeffery didn’t even say a word. I couldn’t help looking up to check if he noticed me.

    As soon as I raised my head, the tender eyes just ran into me, like a pool of autumn stream, twinkling with stars. Jeffrey was staring at me.

    I quickly took back my eyes and stared at the beef. “You can’t see me! You can’t see me!” I prayed in my heart.

    “You are really good at eating spicy food!” Jeffrey looked at me with interest.

    I had to look up at him and forced a smile. After all, I am Mary now, a freshman in the filmdom. When met Jeffrey, the famous star, naturally, I should be as enthusiastic as all the other child actors. Unfortunately, it was too hard for me, but I couldn’t behave so perfunctorily, so I forced him a smile.

    However, Jeffrey did not care about my attitude; on the contrary, he continued to talk with me, “That’s really a coincidence! I never thought of meeting you here! I’m not sure it was you just now. What a surprise!”

    I smiled at him awkwardly again and went back to eat my beef to cover up my embarrassment.

    “Koff-koff!” The beef was so spicy that I couldn’t help coughing. My tears even came out!

    At the moment, a glass of water appeared in front of me. I looked up and saw that it was Jeffery who handed me the water.

    I had no idea why every time Mary met him, she was so miserable and embarrassed. Is it true that enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road?

    However, the feeling of being choked by hot pepper was so bad. I couldn’t care so much, and simply took the cup from Jeffrey’s hand and poured some water, thus finally getting a relief.

    During the whole process, Jeffery was staring at me with great interest. I even felt that I had been seen through by his eagle eyes. I didn’t know it was because of the pepper, or I was really uncomfortable; my face became totally hot.
