Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 197 Pay Attention to Food Hygiene
The bright red numbers above Jiang Liyue and Ling Wu's heads were so striking that the entire living room fell silent for a moment.
The director was particularly troubled; a full 100,000 love points! That's enough to make them dominate this variety show.
Will the next scary part still work?
However, after glancing at the barrage of comments that not only had no objections but were also being flooded with messages, he instantly stopped worrying.
Whatever, let them do whatever they want, at least their show has gained popularity.
If I remember correctly, physical contact between couples also increases their affection level.
In other words, the two of them secretly "made contact" in the room.
This score probably wasn't just something you touched once, but something you went through repeatedly and thoroughly, inside and out.
Wait, are you talking about legitimate contact?
We're saying that with a whole wall of props, we have to try them all out one by one.
[Ugh, the censorship in the live stream has ruined so many of my good stuff!]
Jiang Liyue also noticed the subtle probing from other players.
But she didn't care much. The players in this instance were all newbies, and the eeriness alone was enough to scare them, let alone do anything to her.
She leaned lazily against Ling Wu's side, feeling both tired and hungry from the intense exercise she had just done.
The exercise had depleted her energy, and she urgently needed to replenish it.
Seeing this, Ling Wu felt a pang of heartache and guilt; it was all his fault for not controlling himself earlier…
But with Yueyue tempting him so much, it would be abnormal for him to resist.
He urged, "Let's get to the next step quickly."
Ling Wu's eyes showed impatience. Although there were no cameras in the living room, he still looked precisely in the direction of the live broadcast when he looked up.
The murderous intent was directed straight at the director behind the screen, carrying a chilling threat.
The director was so startled that he trembled all over. He didn't even bother to look at the comments on the screen and quickly took out a megaphone to read the lines he had prepared beforehand.
"To win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach. Food is the best way to warm up a relationship. Touching and igniting in the small kitchen can spark the flames of love... The next step is to prepare dinner."
"The rules for preparing dinner are that each couple prepares dinner, and after they are ready, they vote. Each person has one vote and can only vote for other people outside their own group. The person with the most votes can win a date gift package prepared by the production team."
"Please note that you can bring your own dinner ingredients or exchange them with the program team using Love Points."
Under Ling Wu's invisible gaze, the director felt the killing intent emanating from him growing stronger and stronger. He finally stopped caring about creating atmosphere and started reciting his lines faster and faster.
Even the players who were listening attentively to the rules in the living room were a little confused. Why did the voice sound a bit scary?
Shouldn't they be the ones who are afraid?
Jiang Liyue glanced lightly at Ling Wu, who was looking at her with concern, and instinctively felt that the director's state was related to him.
Ling Wu, however, assumed she was feeling unwell: "Yueyue, would you like to go back to your room and rest?"
What kind of ridiculous segment requires his precious Yueyue to participate in personally?
Jiang Liyue felt that Ling Wu had the temperament of a spoiled parent with a spoiled child.
She shook her head with amusement: "No need, we'll go together."
However, she blinked and emphasized, "But I can't cook, so I can only cheer you on from the sidelines."
Ling Wu was already touched enough by what he heard; even though Yueyue couldn't cook, she still stayed with him.
Waaaaah, she loves him so much!
Therefore, he needs to love Yueyue even more.
As the new segment began, the production team thoughtfully prepared stoves for each of the five couples.
The stoves are placed side by side, separated by an unknown barrier. You can only see what's inside, but you can't step inside. This is to prevent them from running to other groups and causing trouble.
Those who know will understand that this is a dating reality show, but those who don't might think it's a cooking competition.
In the previous segment, the couples had all had varying degrees of contact and had accumulated some affection points, which they then exchanged with the production team for ingredients.
Because of limited affection points, the other groups of players carefully selected their ingredients, but Ling Wu, with his wealth, waved his hand and took them all.
He wouldn't even let Jiang Liyue do the washing of vegetables, and asked the production crew for a small stool to place nearby for her to sit on.
Jiang Liyue sat down with a clear conscience, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Ling Wu work.
Although Jiang Liyue had eaten her boyfriend's cooking in every instance, this was the first time she had seen him cook it in person.
Whether washing or chopping vegetables, his movements were very smooth, clearly indicating that he had actually cooked before.
While cooking, Ling Wu's handsome and youthful face surprisingly took on a gentle, husbandly air.
As expected of the man she chose, Jiang Liyue praised him without reservation: "Ling Wu, you are really amazing."
"You are the best cook I have ever seen."
"I love you so much, Ling Wu, you're the best person in the whole world..."
She spoke sweet words constantly, making Ling Wu feel lightheaded and even more enthusiastic about her work.
[Hilarious! How many times has Yueyue said this is her favorite?]
[A few words were enough to turn someone into a fool]
Although it's the same tactic, different bosses fall into the trap each time.
[This boss is actually happy? What's the difference between this and giving him away for free?]
The difference is probably that Yueyue can be cute and coaxing.
Am I the only one who noticed Ling Wu's cooking skills? He's really good at it!
If Jiang Liyue and Ling Wu's relationship is a sweet and carefree one, going incredibly smoothly, then the other couples' relationships are much more thrilling.
Jiang Liyue shifted her gaze to the nearest couple, number two.
The second couple consisted of a female player and a male ghost. Since their initial affection level was the lowest, and they were moved to a room with a 5-point rating, even though they increased their affection level through contact, they still chose very few ingredients.
With only two chili peppers and a cucumber, it seems there's very little room for creativity.
"What can you do with this little bit?" the male ghost asked, his face full of doubt.
The female player also frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
She only realized when she looked up and saw the male ghost standing very close to her, as the gaze on her grew increasingly terrifying and the surrounding air grew colder.
The male ghost's eyes were full of malice, and his icy breath sent shivers down my spine.
The second female player unconsciously shifted back slightly: "What, what are you going to do?"
"Darling, have you forgotten? We have another very important ingredient here." The male ghost's voice was laced with a wicked laugh.
The second female player had a bad feeling and asked him tremblingly, "Wh-what ingredients?"
“Of course it is you…” The male ghost leaned closer, “Your blood can be used to make drinks, your meat can be stir-fried, and your bones can be used to make soup.”
"These are truly perfect ingredients, aren't they?"
The second female player's eyes were filled with fear as she frantically shook her head: "No, no."
How could she be food?!
"How could you be so selfish!" The male ghost suddenly raised his voice when she refused, shouting in a shrill tone, "Do you want us to lose the game?!"
"You're not even willing to give me a single drop of your flesh and blood? Don't you love me?"
As the male ghost spoke these words, his flesh gradually rotted away, his lips split open to reveal sharp teeth and a tongue that stretched almost to the ground.
Saliva mixed with an unknown liquid dripped onto the ground, emitting an indescribable fishy stench.
"No, no..." The second female player collapsed to the ground, letting the tongue trace across her skin, like a cold snake's forked tongue, coiling around her neck.
"What is Yueyue looking at?" Ling Wu's voice rang out from above.
Jiang Liyue looked up and realized that he had walked up to her with a plate at some point.
He repeated, "What is Yueyue looking at?"
It sounded like he was asking her what she was looking at, but Jiang Liyue, who knew her boyfriend's possessiveness well, knew he was actually asking her something.
Who is prettier than me?
Jiang Liyue blinked innocently and pointed to the No. 2 stove next to her, which was separated by a barrier.
"I was just thinking that the hygiene next door is substandard, so we definitely shouldn't try their food later."
Can you please pay a little more attention to hygiene when cooking?
