Chapter 137: The Pattern Needs to Be Opened

This accident really shocked everyone.

After watching the performance of the Liao sisters, the other two groups no longer had any hope.

Especially when the audience heard the judges praising the two sisters in even more detail than they did, they also felt that the last group would definitely win.

When the director heard the result, he was stunned for a moment, holding the hot pot prize redemption coupon, feeling lost.

Lu Jinsen was a little slow to react, and only later realized that the judges had already announced the rankings.

He looked at Meng Chuyuan in shock, asking for confirmation: "First place?"

"Surprised, right?" Meng Chuyuan said calmly, "I'm surprised too."

Lu Jinsen: “…”

Their performance just now was pretty standard. Apart from the part where they stepped on the clothes, which was emphasized by the judges, the rest of the comments were just general praise and corrections of some minor details. It was considered a normal performance.

Meng Chuyuan thought that maybe because they were the first group to perform on stage, the judges were more reserved and didn't find too many faults.

After the director recovered, he came over with the prizes and presented them: "Congratulations to Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan for winning first place in this performance. You'll be rewarded with a hot pot voucher."

[What a surprise, hahaha. Looking at Sister Meng and the Young Master's state before they went on stage, I never thought they would win.]

[This is an unexpected success. Sister Meng said she didn't want to eat hot pot, but this big prize still fell on her head.]

[It feels like a top student taking an exam without reviewing and still performing exceptionally well.]

[I guess Tingjiu is coming to eat hot pot again]

The twins must be pissed! They performed so hard, even getting to do one more performance than the others, only to be left out by Meng's group.

Liao Jiake felt quite unbalanced when she saw the exchange voucher fall into Meng Chuyuan's hands.

Performing arts is Liao Jiake's strong point. Since she came to this place, she believed that she was bound to win the competition this afternoon.

Since she didn't play to her strengths in the pottery hall in the morning, she thought she could stand out in this competition, but she failed to get the first place twice today.

The mission was successfully completed. The six guests and judges took a group photo on the stage before returning backstage to change clothes and remove makeup.

Around 5:30, Qi Zhen rushed to the airport from the hotel after finishing filming. A passerby fan happened to recognize him and accompanied him to board the plane.

A female fan asked for his autograph and enthusiastically chatted with him: "Brother Qi Zhen, are you going to record a show?"

"Yes." Qi Zhen wore a mask, and the dark circles under his eyes that were exposed were a little obvious. His fans felt sorry for him when they saw it.

"Are you tired of recording the show? We felt that you were working so hard when we were watching the live broadcast."

Qi Zhen narrowed his eyes and smiled gently: "I've been quite tired these past few days."

He filmed a night scene last night and didn't finish until around three in the morning, then got up to work again before seven and finished at noon.

He took a nap in the hotel in the afternoon, checked out and went straight to the airport.

Female fan: "Then your sister should help you more on the show."

Qi Zhen's smile hidden under the mask revealed a look of sadness and bitterness.

With a smile in his eyes, he shook his head slightly and said, "She is a girl. She can't do those rough and heavy jobs."

"The name of this show is "Advance and Retreat Together." Don't always spoil her."

Another fan said: "Yeah, you dote on her too much. You can share the easy tasks with her. Don't carry it all by yourself."

Qi Zhen heard others complaining about this matter, but he just smiled and said nothing.

When they had almost finished talking, Qi Zhen found an excuse to leave: "I have to catch a plane, otherwise I will be too late. Bye."

…

At the same time, the six guests removed their makeup, changed their clothes and came out, and the sun was about to set.

Except for Meng Chuyuan's group, the remaining groups still need to negotiate with the program team to get their dinner ingredients.

Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen stood under the big tree outside the door waiting.

While the others were still here, Meng Chuyuan started chatting with Lu Jinsen again: "Why don't we call them over later to have hot pot with us?"

She felt that eating hotpot with just two people was not lively enough, and because of this competition, the others also worked very hard. Not only did they have disagreements, but some also performed hard. Only their group was the most casual.

They won the first place without any feeling.

So just now when Meng Chuyuan was backstage, he was thinking, why not invite everyone to eat hotpot together.

After hearing this, Lu Jinsen was stunned for a moment.

He had never thought about it in this regard, nor had he considered sharing this with everyone.

He was quite surprised when Meng Chuyuan mentioned it just now.

After a while, Lu Jinsen said calmly, "I have no objection."

[Sister Meng's pattern suddenly opened up]

Lu Jinsen is also very generous. When Sister Meng asked to call everyone over, he immediately agreed.

[This is too good to be true. I feel like Sister Meng is trying to resolve the conflict between the other two groups by doing this.]

[This woman started to show off herself again, exuding her personal charm]

"How can this be called showing off? It's normal to want to share delicious and fun things with people around you. What does it have to do with me, Sister Meng, if other groups have internal conflicts? She didn't do anything to hinder them."

A few minutes later, the other two groups came over carrying ingredients.

When they approached, Meng Chuyuan took the initiative to ask, "Would you like to have hot pot together tonight?"

Tingjiu's pupils suddenly widened, his brows revealing joy, and he readily agreed: "Okay."

It just so happened that he also wanted to eat hot pot.

Tingjiu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Sister Chuyuan, just lend us a pot, we have vegetables to cook."

Anyway, he and Qi Yan wouldn't know how to cook even if they took the ingredients back, so they might as well take them to have hotpot with Meng Chuyuan and the others.

Qi Yan stood indifferently by the side. Ting Jiu had finished speaking and she didn't even have the right to speak.

Seeing that Qi Yan did not refute immediately, Meng Chuyuanyuan took it as her tacit consent.

Meng Chuyuan slowly turned his gaze to the Liao sisters and asked politely, "What about the two sisters?"

Liao Jiayan knew that she had no right to make the decision, so she chose to remain silent and wait for Liao Jiake to speak.

"Yanyan and I won't go. Let's go back and cook for ourselves."

She knew that Meng Chuyuan and Ting Jiu were friends, so it was normal for him to go eat hotpot. She and Liao Jiayan decided not to join in the fun.

Given their current state, it would be awkward for them to go there.

Ting Jiu followed suit and advised: "Sister Liao, it will be too much trouble to cook this time. Why not have hot pot with me and Sister Chu Yuan?"

Liao Jiake smiled faintly, shook her head, and politely declined: "I've been feeling a bit irritated lately and started to break out in acne. You guys can eat it."

Seeing that she didn't agree, Meng Chuyuan also respected their opinions: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
