Ling Yi, who was cutting a steak, suddenly saw a pretty Shadow reflected on the carpet.
He put the steak in his mouth, chewed, and looked up.
"Gulp!" Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Ling Yi swallowed the steak he hadn't finished chewing.
" Meng Ran?" Ling Yi wondered if he was hallucinating.
How could I see Meng Ran here? She's a top-tier celebrity right now.
Previously, due to life pressures and limited social circles,
But there are still a few celebrities that Ling Yi likes.
Meng Ran is one of them.
Of course, it's too early to say he's a fan of Meng Ran.
He hasn't reached the level of a fan yet.
Regardless, Meng Ran appearing before him was still a bit too dreamlike.
"Hello!" Meng Ran swallowed hard.
I thought to myself, "This guy is amazing! He's having a picnic on this country road?"
The key point is, the food is amazing!
Steak, red wine, grilled sausage—my goodness, is this some kind of extravagance?
She has a good eye for quality, even if she can't tell the difference between good and bad steak.
But that bottle of red wine costs at least 280,000 yuan, and it's not the kind you can just buy whenever you want.
"Gurgle!" A strange sound rang out.
Meng Ran blushed instantly. "No, I'm sorry, I haven't eaten since this morning."
Ling Yi was still in a daze; Meng Ran's appearance was simply too unbelievable.
Country lanes, rice paddies, blue sky—if Ling Yi hadn't known that Ghost didn't exist in this world...
Ling Yi even suspected that Meng Ran might be some kind of demon in disguise, out for a snack.
Having lived in the Journey to the West World for over a decade and seen all sorts of Ghost, Ling Yi couldn't help but have impure thoughts.
"Are you really Meng Ran?" Ling Yi asked again.
"Yes," Meng Ran nodded in reply, but her eyes remained fixed on the steak, and she swallowed hard.
After the official confirmation, Ling Yi didn't care whether it was a coincidence, fate, or anything else.
All I can say is to myself, life is truly wondrous.
"Sit down and eat with me. After you finish eating, tell me your story."
"I really can't understand how I could run into Great Ming here." Ling Yi quickly composed himself.
Regardless, he had spent ten years in the Journey to the Journey to the West World, and was someone who could easily defeat countless powerful figures.
In the past, I might have been excited for a while, but now, there's not much of a ripple.
Suddenly, a Great Ming appears, and it's even one of your favorite Great Ming and beautiful women who's having lunch with you.
Ling Yi was naturally very happy.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Meng Ran was genuinely hungry.
She even suppressed her curiosity about Ling Yi.
I haven't touched these two plates of steak, you can have them.
Ling Yi reached behind him and a new set of cutlery appeared, placed on the plate.
Meng Ran didn't notice any of this; she just wanted to grab the steak and start eating it right away.
If Ling Yi hadn't been there, she might have actually done it.
"Wow, this is delicious! What kind of steak is this? It tastes even better than those in top-tier Western restaurants!"
After taking a bite of the steak, Meng Ran said in utter shock.
"I don't know what brand it is, but I ate it once before..."
"It tasted good, so I bought more." Ling Yi had previously tried various things with a group of wealthy people.
This was the first steak he had ever eaten, and he thought it tasted great.
Therefore, it was Manifestation through the Hunter System this time.
After a Wind Sweeps Away the Clouds, Meng Ran devoured both plates of steak and even drank some red wine.
These two plates of steak were enough for two people, and even Ling Yi was shocked that Meng Ran could finish them.
"Everyone online says Meng Ran is a foodie, and now I finally see for myself," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"No, not at all. I usually control my diet very strictly."
After Meng Ran finished eating, she felt noticeably thirsty, as she hadn't drunk any water all morning.
Since steak is already salty, I felt even thirstier.
But after looking around, she didn't find any drinks or bottled water.
So I could only endure it and quench my thirst with a glass of red wine.
Ling Yi, after all, is a person with Magic Power, and his Perception is much stronger.
I can Perception that Meng Ran is thirsty.
He reached behind him and a bottle of mineral water appeared in his hand, which he placed in front of Meng Ran.
Meng Ran hadn't noticed when Ling Yi Manifestation the tableware earlier.
But this time, Meng Ran saw it very clearly.
He tilted his head to look behind Ling Yi, then looked at the bottled water in his hand.
Meng Ran was a little confused, but she was too thirsty to think about it too much.
Or rather, she currently has absolutely no sense of self-defense.
After downing the entire bottle of mineral water in one gulp, Meng Ran let out a satisfied burp.
You should know that this is a very unladylike behavior.
But for some reason, Meng Ran felt very relaxed and comfortable in front of Ling Yi.
Meng Ran is someone who easily succumbs to her instincts, such as her current sitting posture.
Kneeling with your toes pointing outwards is also considered very unladylike.
Meng Ran simply found the sitting posture comfortable and didn't think much of it.
Magic Power no longer exists in this world.
According to the concept of " the Supreme Existence ".
Five thousand years ago, the magical Magic Power of this world vanished completely when a certain Protagonist of Karmic Luck became Jumper and left.
However, Magic Power is always a high-level form of energy.
It is also one of the original energies of heaven and earth, the kind of thing Magic Power.
It was never intended to cause destruction; its fundamental function is actually the power of self-evolution.
Meng Ran was relaxed because she had no sense of vigilance.
This was also due to the natural rhythm of Magic Power power emanating from Ling Yi's body.
To put it more bluntly, Ling Yi's affability is a thousand times higher than that of ordinary people.
This will naturally generate a sense of trust in ordinary people.
Ling Yi Manifestation another bottle of mineral water from behind him and placed it in front of Meng Ran.
Now Meng Ran finally understood that the appearance of the mineral water was very strange.
She had just checked; there was nothing behind Ling Yi.
"How did you do that? Are you a magician?"
"No, I am Magic Mage, the only Magic Mage left in this world."
Ling Yi was just spouting nonsense.
"Pfft, I'd say I'm Xiao Xian Nü, but nobody would believe you."
"Hehe, let's get to know each other formally. My name is Ling Yi..."
"A man who plans to travel the world on foot."
Meng Ran typed Ling Yi's name a few times.
"You're going to travel the world on foot? Wow, that's so cool! That's been my childhood dream."
"As a celebrity, you fly around every day, so you've practically traveled the world."
Meng Ran shook her head, "How can that be the same? That's passive, it's because of work, it doesn't count at all. Besides, flying around every day, landing and going straight to the hotel, finishing work and then flying around again, how can that be considered tourism?"
"It's really not that bad. If you put it that way, celebrities are actually quite pitiful."
"That's right, I don't even have a tiny bit of time for myself every day, it's so miserable and oppressive."
Meng Ran pinched a distance of one millimeter between two fingers and gestured as she spoke.
"If other less famous celebrities heard you say that, they'd probably get beaten up..."
"Many celebrities must envy your lifestyle."
Meng Ran continued to shake her head, "But I really don't like this kind of life."
Ling Yi looked at Meng Ran and asked, guessing:
"You didn't quit your job and run away by yourself, did you?"
That's incredibly reckless, deliberately choosing such a remote location.
If you encounter bad people, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
"I haven't had any work pressure lately, so I wanted to relax a bit."
"Living under the spotlight every day is exhausting, and I'm also afraid of being recognized."
"So I just went wherever it was most remote, and then the car broke down, and my phone died."
"Let's go, let's see if your car can be fixed."
"Can you fix cars?" Meng Ran asked.
"I know magic."
"Cut..."
Ling Yi obviously couldn't fix cars, but he had "magic."
Meng Ran was astonished to see Ling Yi pat the hood of the car twice and the car returned to normal and started smoothly.
"How did you do that? That's amazing! Do you really have magic?"
Meng Ran imitated Ling Yi and patted the car hood twice.
"That's it? Am I dreaming?"
"I already said, I'm the only Magic Mage in the world, please call me Mage Ling."
"Wow, really? Can you fly on a broomstick? Do you have any Summon beasts?"
"Does it contain Forbidden Spell, the kind that cause the Earth Split with a single strike?"
Meng Ran naturally didn't believe it, but she kept coming up with all sorts of wild ideas.
"You'll see it when you have the chance."
Ling Yi watched Meng Ran get into the car, feeling a pang of reluctance.
After all, it was Meng Ran, the goddess he admired.
However, I was fortunate to meet Meng Ran and have lunch with her.
Ling Yi felt quite content.
Meng Ran didn't drive away; instead, she connected her phone to the car charger first.
Less than three seconds after powering on, a series of text message notification sounds rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the phone rang.
Meng Ran pouted and frowned, considering whether to hang up the phone.
She had finally managed to "escape" and really didn't want to go back like this.
You should at least let them know you're safe, so they don't worry.
Ling Yi offered a reminder.
"Oh, it's pressure." Meng Ran sighed and answered the phone.
It's not that she couldn't think of these things, but rather that the high-pressure work over the years had filled her with resistance and even disgust towards her current job.
It's not that she dislikes being an actress or standing in the spotlight, but she dislikes this passive, unfree life.
"Hey, Sister Hong..." Meng Ran had only said those few words.
An angry female voice came from the other end of the phone, followed by a barrage of scolding.
Meng Ran, with a pained expression, placed her phone in front of the gearshift and stared at it as if she were staring at a monster.
"Hello, hello, Meng Ran, are you answering? Did you just throw the phone aside again?"
Roar roar came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm here," Meng Ran replied weakly.
"Keep the car where it is and don't move it. I'll send someone over immediately."
"It seems giving you time off was a mistake. Do you know how many people were worried about you? Did you even consider our feelings?"
The person on the other end of the phone was still shouting; their voice was hoarse, seemingly from excitement.
"Oh." After hanging up the phone, Meng Ran looked utterly dejected.
" Liu Hong?" Ling Yi asked. It was no secret that Liu Hong was Meng Ran's boss.
"It's pressure, how scary! What should I do? I feel like Sister Hong is an evil Devil King."
Meng Ran flailed her arms wildly, like a frantic kitten.
Ling Yi couldn't help but find it amusing. "So what are your plans?"
"Me? I've decided to keep running away. Yes, that's it."
