Balanced nutrition

Meng Yike paused for a moment: "Whoever laughs loses."

"I have a question." Yu Nianxi silently raised her hand. "Can Xi Ai not participate?"

Xi Ai: "...?"

Feeling threatened by the group's bully, Yu Nianxi lowered her voice and said, "She's an award-winning actress, why does she insist on acting?"

Xi Ai finally believed that people can actually laugh when they're speechless: "So you're saying that if I lost, it's because my acting was bad?"

[Hey, hey, hey, Xi Ai, don't mess with Yu Nianxi anymore.]

[XiXi: I didn't! It wasn't me!]

Meng Yike helplessly tried to mediate: "No, what does this have to do with acting skills? Okay, let's draw lots to determine the groups. I've written them down. One group goes first, and the remaining two groups write down their punishments. The losers go and draw lots."

[Haha, the immunology department feels like taking care of a child.]

[Cherish him, he's the only normal person on the team now]

[When will I stop laughing in this immunology department? (Yes, it's Xi Ai again)]

[Can someone explain this to me?]

[Did you hear that? My sister's calling you, Ai Ai!]

Xi Ai glanced at it, then said without rushing to answer, "Wait, let me draw a number first."

"Don't even think about it. I'm the number one." Shi Yunshan stared at her calmly.

“You’re not.” Xi Ai coldly rejected the possibility.

But when Xi Ai picked up the note and looked at it, her expression froze instantly.

[Haha, Ai'ai didn't get it, right?]

Xi Ai curled her lips and said, "If you don't have it, you don't have it."

"Look, what's this?" Shi Yunshan waved the note with the number 1 on it in front of Xi Ai.

Xi Ai: ...

Nie Chuiying pursed her lips and said softly, "Maybe it's about making up for what's lacking."

Shi Yunshan: ...

Turning her head to see that Chu Yiqi had also drawn a "2", Xi Ai suddenly became happy again. She snorted and said happily, "I don't know, anyway, what does it matter to you how many you draw?"

Xi Ai was happy, but Chu Yiqi stared at the numbers for a moment, his fingertips going slightly numb.

After the number plates were announced, the entire live chat went on fast-forward, and the six of them stared intently at it, barely managing to make out a few comments.

[Little Chu... it's okay to lose every time, it's alright]

I think my partner must have been destined for me in a past life.

I bet you I'll win every single time!

[Random]

[I can't believe MYK lost]

[Go Xixi!]

[Sisters above, myk losing is like someone who doesn't read fanfiction.]

[Hmm... I'm too embarrassed to mention the names of those people she's looking at.]

Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi paused for a moment, read the sentence aloud, and then looked at Nie Chuiying with a complicated expression.

Nie Chuiying felt a pang of guilt and stiffened her neck, saying, "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll read it to you two."

Chu Yiqi immediately looked away, not wanting to break up the couple in front of outsiders, but said rather subtly, "Looking at everything will only harm you."

"No, a balanced diet!"

“You just ate breakfast, don’t eat everything.” Xi Ai turned back and suddenly remembered that she hadn’t explained the immunology joke, so she pushed the schedule forward. “First group, get ready quickly, I need to quietly explain the immunology to them.”

Shi Yunshan and Nie Chuiying stood up silently.

Xi Ai muttered to herself, writing at a rapid pace: "In the early days, we talked about a fan name, and then we played with abbreviations. After a long time of searching, we thought the Immunology Department was good, so now we all call her Fan White Blood Cell White Blood Cell."

As Yu Nianxi looked at it, she said, "I'm reporting this. This white blood cell count is being collected every period."

Next to them, facing the camera, Nie Chuiying started first. They stared at each other with serious expressions, tried making faces, but failed.

When she arrived at Shi Yunshan, she took out her phone without saying a word and, under Nie Chuiying's puzzled gaze, opened a private account that only she knew about.

Shi Yunshan pursed her lips, and with a serious expression, recited a passage: "Her eyes were full of affection, and she lifted the beaded curtain slightly with one hand, slowly..."

Nie Chuiying's lips twitched, suppressing her laughter, but only for a moment, because she suddenly thought of what was about to happen.

The person behind the beaded curtain held a pipa, while the person who entered had been staring at the person behind them without moving from the beginning, but the fan in their hand twirled round and round until the music ended...

Of course, this time it was just listening to a song and flirting a bit, but after that, we became inseparable and couldn't bear to part.

Cough, that's not the point. The point is that the story Shi Yunshan read is about Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi!

Q: What's it like to read fanfiction to your ex-partner?

A: I don't know, it's a little embarrassing, but let me laugh first.

Chu Yiqi didn't hear Shi Yunshan read his name, nor did he know that this piece was about him, or about a character who was both seductive and manipulative...

Xi Ai had clearly seen what happened next and was laughing the whole time. As for what she was laughing about, she wouldn't say when Yu Nianxi asked her. She just kept laughing while watching Chu Yiqi's expression.

Nie Chuiying couldn't hold back her laughter any longer after hearing just a few sentences. Partly, she was afraid that if Shi Yunshan continued reading, her already meager image would be completely ruined...

Nie Chuiying turned to look at Xi Ai and suddenly stopped smiling: Wait, why does she look like she's already seen it? Does she even know she's in front of the camera?

Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Ai with some confusion, but in order to avoid suspicion, Qiqi just sat leaning against the sofa and glanced at her profile out of the corner of her eye.

Xi Ai glanced around and raised her hand to brush aside her bangs. Being the person who spends the most time in front of the camera, she knew which angle looked best for this gesture.

Tsk, I'm such a scheming woman.

Chu Yiqi blinked, silently criticizing his own despicable act of indulging in beautiful women, and then looked away to cue the process: "Now, let's have our rapper draw a punishment."

The group ignored the rapidly scrolling comments and focused intently on Nie Chuiying picking through the box for a long time without making a decision.

[No, I actually read this fanfiction; I was reviewing for finals. It's about a beautiful, seductive, and incredibly alluring bottom (uke) and a super cool, sickly, and cunning top (seme).]

[But I've always gotten 1 in every single period...]

[Add one, Ai Ai deserves to be suppressed]

[Is this something I can say? (flips fingers) (smirks)]

Seeing this, Chu Yiqi seemed to understand why Xi Ai had laughed; she was probably so embarrassed that her expression suddenly changed. Xi Ai slowly lowered her head and bit her straw…

No, you guys tell everything.

It was good that he was a little confused but also well-behaved.

[Wait a minute? What's with Xi Ai laughing like that?!]

[Hahahaha, just enjoy the moment when a solo stan breaks down.]

[Reading aloud your favorite ship's fanfiction in public is such a great way to express yourself! I'll try it next time.]

[Fun fact: Your favorite pairing is too unpopular; there's no content about it.]

[...You've crossed the line; we're just online friends.]

Xi Ai couldn't stand it anymore and threatened in a low voice, "If you don't expose your new alternate account, will you?"

"How did you know?" Nie Chuiying suddenly understood what Xi Ai was laughing about. She gritted her teeth and spat out a few words, then took the paper with a mixture of frustration and decisiveness.

But soon, Nie Chuiying realized that Xi Ai's threat was nothing, after all, that one was just talk, but this one was really malicious: "May I ask, who wrote this? It's so unethical?"

Xi Ai shrugged innocently, but Nie Chuiying didn't believe her.

Just as Nie Chuiying was about to go and greet Xi Ai, Chu Yiqi calmly said, "I wrote this."

[I wonder what such a kind-hearted baby like Qiqi could write.]

[What could possibly happen to someone as well-behaved as Qiqi... wait, Qiqi, did you turn into a man-eating flower after your trip abroad?]

"Tell me, can you name ten different red wines in thirty seconds?"

Chu Yiqi, biting on a yogurt straw, blinked innocently, looking like, "So what?": "You can choose to send ten 200-yuan red envelopes in the group."

Xi Ai smiled and suddenly felt that it might be good if Chu Yiqi changed a little.

How interesting.

Nie Chuiying was silent for a moment, then said, "Start the timer."

"Start." Meng Yike immediately pressed start.

"Uh, Château Lafite Rothschild..."

[Holding onto the last bit, my mind is filled with "1982 Lafite"]

You are not alone.

Countless images flashed through Nie Chuiying's mind, all of them saved from when she was writing other fanfiction, but why were the names so hard to come up with...

"Romanée-Conti".

Xi Ai, who was always eager to watch the drama unfold and even interfered with Nie Chuiying, said: "Oh my, you're so extravagant, bringing this up as soon as you arrive."

[Young Miss: Wow!]

[This punishment should really be given to Xi Ai.]

[No, what would be the point of her coming?]

“White Horse Estate! Heidschke! Sassia… Ya, Patus…”

Despite her stumbling, Nie Chuiying still managed to call out eight. Seeing this, the others quickly tried to distract her: "Five!"

Nie Chuiying was going crazy: "Don't bother me!"

"Four--"

"Mitsutong, and then..."

"That's ridiculous."

Caught between life and death at the last second, Nie Chuiying saved himself: "Singing Eagle!"

Xi Ai nodded with some regret, sat down silently, and then looked at Chu Yiqi: "You go first?"

"You go first."

Now that Nie Chuiying has successfully overcome her tribulation, she wants to drag Xi Ai down with her: "Qiqi, come first!"

Xi Ai raised her chin: "The voice of the masses is loud and clear."

"……good."

Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Ai, thought for a moment, and said, "Has it started?"

Xi Ai nodded, and Chu Yiqi added, "Three characters, huh?"

"Are you sure?" Xi Ai looked at her and raised her eyebrows slightly.

[No, the look in Xi Ai's eyes... I'd rather die.]

[Do you mean to say "I love her" in those three words?]

[No kidding, if I really said that, Xi Ai would laugh all day.]

Chu Yiqi moved closer to Xi Ai, almost to the point of embracing her, but Xi Ai raised her hand but didn't move, quietly listening to what she had to say.

Chu Yiqi's hand froze in mid-air before slowly lowering it. After saying three words, Chu Yiqi stepped back and stood still, raising his eyes to stare intently at Xi Ai.

It's hard to say whether it was a feigned expectation or a genuine, habitual reaction.

But Chu Yiqi herself leaned towards the former, telling herself that it was a bit of expectation forced out by her competitive spirit.

It was a contest and a win-loss that was destined between them from the moment they met.

So this truth was spoken in a tone that could be considered both provocative and joking within the context of the game.

That's all, she thought.

Xi Ai was initially a little dazed, but upon seeing Chu Yiqi, she suddenly felt like laughing.

It seems like losing doesn't matter.

In that instant, Xi Ai even felt that the little bit of charm she deliberately exuded was nothing compared to the beauty that comes from being unconsciously beautiful.

The two of them have different looks. Just like in Nie Chuiying's fanfiction, Chu Yiqi is more like a well-protected young lady in a mansion. No matter how beautiful she is, she is still gentle and elegant, and always exudes a captivating aura.

Her temperament was cold, like a plum blossom after a snowfall; she was naturally indifferent to everything else.

It was a strange description, but Xi Ai couldn't think of a more suitable one.

After a brief eye contact, Xi Ai's eyes curved into a smile. She took a half step back and said with a smile, "No need to prompt me, I'll draw one."

[Ahhh, Mommy Qiqi, give me a little rub! That look in your eyes is just too irresistible.]

[Qiqi: No, you're not allowed to come near me.]

[What on earth did she say?!]

[No! I don't know! Ah!!]

"Qiqi, what are you talking about?"

Chu Yiqi sat down somewhat awkwardly, took a sip of water, and then said, "Guess."

Yu Nianxi didn't guess, because the next moment her attention was drawn to the note that Xi Ai had pulled out.

The requirements are simple and clear: imitate a scene with your eyes, and if the imitation is too bad, do another take or give each person a 100 RMB red envelope.

Meng Yike smiled helplessly: "Why are you all so obsessed with money?"

No one claimed it. Finally, Xi Ai held the note with considerable disdain and said, "Me."

[Hahahahahaha]

[Ai'ai: I don't know? How can I do my own tasks?]

[Vegetable Garden: I don't know either, maybe it's their own fault?]

Xi Ai thought about it for a moment, and realized that it was her profession after all, so it was fine!

"Let's draw one from the comments, what kind of performance?"
