Chapter 20 Not a Fan

Finished 

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but Ava felt like that man was staring at her so boldly. 

Who is this lunatic? 

She didn’t even know him, and he didn’t have a shred of manners either, so she quickly looked away. 

That brief exchange of looks lasted only a second, but the people around them noticed right 

away. 

Ava clearly had no idea who he was. If there was still someone who didn’t recognize Ryan–the man whose face was always trending online–it would truly be a surprise. 

“Sit wherever you like,” Laurent said. 

Lianne immediately ran to the seat closest to Ryan. “Hi, my name’s Lianne. I’m a big fan of yours. Can I get your autograph later?” 

Ryan stayed quiet. He disliked how she was getting too close without knowing her boundaries, even if she was Laurent’s stepsister. 

Ava almost laughed. 

This girl really is a crazy fangirl. 

Before she could finish that thought, Lianne called out, “Ava, come sit here!” 

She patted the seat beside her. Ava smiled. Although Lianne liked handsome men, she stayed loyal to her friends. 

Ava walked over. 

Ryan looked at her again as if waiting for her to say something. 

She forced herself to speak. “I’m not your fan, and I don’t follow celebrities. You don’t need to sign anything for me.” 

Right after she said that, someone chuckled. 

Ryan clenched his teeth. She better not be that kind of person. 

Mason walked by and commented, “That’s rare. It’s not easy to find a girl who isn’t your fan.”

Chapter 20 Not a Fan 

After Ava sat down, she realized the person next to her was Keith. 

Finished 

At that moment, he noticed something that hit him hard. This woman, who shared the same name really didn’t know any of them. 

“Ms. Morren, how’s your ankle?” Keith asked. “I saw you twisted it this morning.” 

Ava turned. Seeing that it was the man who had grabbed her sleeve earlier, she replied, “It’s fine now. Thank you.” 

Her tone was polite, and her expression was distant. 

Keith smiled and exchanged a subtle glance with the others. 

Laurent then asked, “Ms. Morren, how did you meet my sister?” 

“Well…” Ava looked at Lianne. “We met online. We’re online friends.” 

Lianne nodded quickly. “Laurent, Ava is really nice. Why are you asking so many questions like you’re checking her background? Don’t scare my friend away.” 

She gave Laurent a warning look. She liked Ava a lot and didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable. 

Laurent stopped there and didn’t ask any more questions. 

Soon, Ethan handed over the menu. “I didn’t know there would be two ladies joining us, so I didn’t check your preferences. Take a look and order whatever you want.” 

Lianne took the menu first and quickly ordered a few of her favorite dishes. Then, she leaned close to Ava and whispered, “Ava, pick whatever you want. You’re already here, might as well enjoy the food.” 

The Age of the Stars‘ cuisine didn’t appeal to Ava. Her taste had been spoiled in her past life. By now, Earth’s old food culture had long disappeared from history, and this new age had turned into a food desert. Some dishes were so strange that they tasted like ammonia in a public 

restroom. 

The soil in this era had been polluted, and the farmland couldn’t meet the population’s needs. Vegetables and fruits had to be grown in labs before they could be sold, which made them incredibly expensive. 

Ordinary people could only afford the cheapest bread and nutrient paste to fill their stomachs. When Ava was sixteen, she accidentally discovered that she could purify contaminated soil. 

She also had a natural connection with plants. 

She secretly used her savings to buy a few seeds on the black market and planted them in her
