"Hello, hello." Lin Gongshang was still staring in a daze as he asked, "Do all good-looking people make friends with other good-looking people?"
Lu Ao handed the basket back to him and said with an amused smile, "Are you complimenting yourself in a roundabout way?"
"Not really. I just think this brother is especially handsome. Looking at him makes me think of... what was that phrase? I was about to say it, but then I forgot... Right, refined and gifted. This brother immediately makes people think of the phrase 'refined and gifted'!"
It was no easy feat for a rough fellow like him to come out with an idiom.
Lu Ao smiled.
Lin Gongshang said, "Don't laugh. You two have a temperament that's completely different from ordinary people. When I first saw you at Brother Dawu's shop, I even wondered whether you were a celebrity. This brother isn't a celebrity too, is he?"
Song Zhou smiled. "I'm not a celebrity, just an ordinary office worker."
"No way. You could clearly make a living off your faces—"
"Lin Gongshang, what are you yelling about?" A voice came from outside. "I could hear you from far away, crowing like a rooster."
The group turned to look and found that Lin Man Zhang and Lin Qi Yan had arrived as well, carrying large and small bags of rice dumplings, fruit, and other things.
Lu Ao went up to greet them. "Why are you here?"
Lin Qi Yan handed him the bag in his hand and waggled his eyebrows. "My grandma made rice dumplings and glutinous rice cakes. She insisted that I bring some over for you."
Lin Man Zhang added, "They're all homemade. Have a taste."
The two of them also noticed Song Zhou.
Lu Ao introduced them to one another.
