The celebrities in the room were just about to go out to watch the fun when Zhuo Yang and Yuan Muyang came in carrying two large bags of lunch boxes and cookware.
"Master...?" The director was a little confused.
Gu Bozhi was confused and asked, "What happened outside?"
Zhuo Yang placed the pots and ingredients on the table: "Oh, I encountered two little ghosts and took them away. Whose children are these? They are being haunted by the little ghosts."
He pointed at the twins lying outside in a state of disgrace, and said sarcastically, "They're twins, as expected. Even the little ghosts haunting them are twins."
Geng Yiyi seemed a little panicked: "It's my brother, are they okay?"
Zhuo Yang glanced at her and said, "It's okay. You'll be fine once you wake up. It won't affect the recording of your program. You can sleep in the car. You'll probably wake up in two hours. The distance should be just right to the mountain."
The director asked Zhang Yongchao to find someone to carry the twins to the room to rest.
Although the variety show has not officially started recording, the production team will be responsible if anything happens to the guests.
Geng Yiyi clutched her chest, looking perplexed and uncertain. She walked out, saying, "No wonder they've become a bit irritable and unruly lately..."
I have to say that the Peach Blossom Evil is very well hidden, and there is no trace of any fault. No wonder Lu Yu has been tracking it for so long without any news.
Yuan Muyang remained silent, not even looking at her from beginning to end, and helped Zhuo Yang.
Bai Ningning wasn't interested in any of this. She stared at the barbecue plate and asked, "Eating barbecue on such a hot day?"
Zhuo Yang: "Be content. It's good enough to have something to eat."
The director was flattered and didn't dare to let them do it, so he quickly took over and said, "Let me do it."
Zhuo Yang: "It's okay, the two delivery guys were called over by the staff next door to move some things, so we just helped them out."
Gu Yuanfan quickly distanced himself from the matter: "It should be Geng Yiyi's work team."
He only brought his agent, assistant, hairstylist and makeup artist with him, which wasn't a big group, and there wasn't much to move.
Zhuo Yang put on his apron and assumed the air of a chef. Facing the grill pan, he fell into deep thought: "How do I open it? I only know how to deliver takeout and barbecue. I don't know how to use this machine..."
Yuan Muyang turned on the barbecue maker silently and gave Zhuo Yang some space to perform.
Bai Ningning teased, "You delivery guys also work part-time as ghost hunters? You're pretending, right? You didn't knock that guy unconscious, did you?"
Zhuo Yang skillfully preheated the pan and greased it with oil, saying cheerfully, "Miss, please be careful with your words and actions, or you might end up with mushy food."
Chu Xisen stood up, took a barbecue tong, and raised his eyebrows at Bai Ningning: "Don't be afraid, sister, I will barbecue for you, and it will be delicious."
Zhuo Yang was amused: "You two brothers and sisters look exactly the same, aren't you twins?"
Bai Ningning was about to explain but was interrupted by the barrage of comments.
[Don't believe what Third Brother says, he's a kitchen killer! He'll burn through your pot!]
[Someone hold Chu Xisen's hand down. How come he has no idea about his cooking skills?]
[After a meal, my sister might be gone]
[It's really inedible. Other people's poor cooking skills just waste ingredients, but his poor cooking skills not only waste the venue but also the manpower.]
She hesitated for only a second before Chu Xisen accepted the brother-sister relationship: "Yes, although she stayed in her mother's belly for a few more years, she can barely be considered a twin. I just came out first."
Seeing Bai Ningning was silent, the director thought she was resisting this relationship and reminded her, "You two should get used to playing siblings, so as not to reveal your true feelings on the show."
Bai Ningning responded, hesitating whether to stop Chu Xisen - something as simple as barbecue shouldn't go wrong, right?
For Chu Xisen, the annoying guy was gone, and his mood was obviously much higher. He teased Bai Ningning: "Call me brother, can you?"
Everyone in the room looked at Bai Ningning with an attitude of watching the fun.
Bai Ningning: “…”
Making money is not easy.
Zhuo Yang subtly diverted everyone's attention for her, looked at the brothers Gu Yuanfan and Gu Bozhi, and said, "You two siblings have a very good relationship."
Gu Yuanfan coughed lightly and corrected himself, "It's a brother."
Zhuo Yang approached Gu Bozhi with a smile and asked, "Would you be unhappy if someone called you your sister?"
Gu Bozhi stared with his eyes wide open like a frightened deer, not knowing how to react for a moment, and turned to look at his brother.
Zhuo Yang: "You don't need to look at him, he doesn't know."
Gu Yuanfan was unhappy. He stretched out his hand to separate the two of them, protected his brother behind him, and glared at Zhuo Yang: "What do you mean?"
Zhuo Yang remained calm and continued to smile: "Your brother is obviously a man with a female soul."
Gu Bozhi pinched his arm to confirm that he felt something real and his soul hadn't left. Only then did he realize that Zhuo Yang was indeed a master of metaphysics. He was puzzled but also a little surprised: "You can even see that? You're the first person to say that to me right after meeting me."
Bai Ningning thought to herself, your soul has twin tails, how can I not see it?
Zhuo Yang started to brag: "After all, there are only a few people as talented as me."
Bai Ningjing watched him bragging quietly without interrupting him, thinking to himself, I can see it all, what's there to brag about?
Gu Yuanfan's face turned a little ugly, and he said to the director, "I'm sorry, I hope the variety show won't include any related content. I'm afraid he'll be bullied outside."
He glanced at Gu Bozhi and pulled the director outside to discuss the matter in detail.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, others could guess that it was probably because he had been ridiculed and bullied by other classmates for being "sissy".
Gu Bozhi's smile disappeared, and he nervously hung his head and twisted his fingers, like a child who had done something wrong.
Bai Ningning handed him a candy: "This is not your fault, why are you blaming yourself?"
Zhuo Yang placed the roasted meat in front of Gu Bozhi: "Eat meat, eat meat. Who wants candy when you have meat?"
Bai Ningning: "Where's mine?"
Zhuo Yang: "At your brother's place."
He glanced at Chu Xisen's clumsy flipping skills and added, "Or wait for the next batch."
With a "clang", Chu Xisen almost overturned the barbecue plate while turning the meat.
Bai Ningning: “?”
Gu Bozhi shared his meat with her and took the barbecue tongs from Chu Xisen's hand: "Let me do it, I'm a pretty good cook."
Chu Xisen tactfully stepped aside and watched him roast it.
It’s never his turn to cook at home, because his elder brother cooks delicious food.
Bai Ningning sighed, "So, little boys like this are so good. Unlike some people, who like to act cute and call me sister when they are young, and are willing to participate in the cute art performances at school, but end up becoming so annoying as soon as their voices change."
Zhuo Yang glanced at Yuan Muyang in surprise, wondering, "Who are you implying?"
Bai Ningning ate the meat and commented simply, "I was clearly shooting at a group of people. I think most boys in junior high school do that."
Zhuo Yang was so angry that he laughed: "I thought you would at least pretend to be polite. Don't you think it's like all of us are serving you alone now?"
Bai Ningning ate leisurely: "That might be your honor."
Chu Xisen burst into laughter and patted Bai Ningning on the shoulder: "Your personality is absolutely perfect for recording variety shows."
Gu Bozhi was finally amused and said, "Sister Ningning's personality is a little different from what I imagined."
Zhuo Yang: "What about me? Am I the same as the Xuanmen Master you imagined?"
Gu Bozhi shook his head. "I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised by any Master. But I feel like this Master might be more in line with...um...the stereotype of what everyone thinks of a Master?"
He pointed at Yuan Muyang and said.
Zhuo Yang nodded with a smile, and brought the second batch of barbecue to Yuan Muyang, introducing him, "Indeed, this is my uncle-master."
Gu Bozhi's eyes widened: "I thought you were about the same age..."
Zhuo Yang smiled without saying anything and sat down to eat with Yuan Muyang.
Gu Bozhi hesitated for a moment: "I don't think I have introduced myself yet."
Bai Ningning: "No, sit down and eat. A powerful charlatan like them should be able to figure out your name just by looking at you."
Zhuo Yang: "...I don't think you're really worried about retaliation from the charlatans."
Bai Ningning patted Gu Bozhi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they didn't want to get to know us, and they didn't even introduce themselves."
Only then did Gu Bozhi realize that the two masters did not introduce themselves, and they did not care at all who these stars were, they just wanted to ensure the safety of the recording.
Gu Bozhi looked at Bai Ningning: "Have you two known each other before?"
Bai Ningning didn't even raise her head: "I don't know him."
Zhuo Yang's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect the child to be so perceptive and actually asked the key question right away.
Gu Bozhi: "Oh, but Sister Ningning, you are very similar to them in some ways. How should I put it... you just don't care who we are. You're a little hard to approach."
Bai Ningning reacted very quickly and said, "Oh, I'm socially anxious."
Everyone: “?”
[I have to say, Zhizhi’s intuition is very sharp]
[Perhaps it's because Zhizhi's soul often leaves his body? He's very sensitive to things related to the supernatural.]
【Zhizhi, trust your intuition! 】
Gu Yuanfan came back from chatting with the director and happened to see everyone looking at Bai Ningning with questioning faces. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Bozhi felt a little awkward, not looking at his brother, and said, "No, Sister Ningning told a joke."
"?"
This time, it was Bai Ningning's turn to have a question mark over her head: "You actually take this as a joke? I'm serious. Are extroverts with social anxiety not allowed?"
Gu Bozhi didn't know whether Bai Ningning was deliberately talking nonsense to tease him or was really suffering from social anxiety. He wanted to say something several times but finally decided to shut up and keep himself busy by grilling and eating meat.
Zhuo Yang expressed Gu Bozhi's thoughts: "Your attitude of talking nonsense is very different from social anxiety."
Chu Xisen was simply brainless in protecting his sister: "Don't talk nonsense, my sister is not running a train."
Zhuo Yang: "But she looks like she has no expression on her face or is talking nonsense seriously."
Yuan Muyang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "The expression on your face when you said we were charlatans was almost identical to the expression on your face when you said you were socially anxious. So it can be concluded that you were both talking nonsense and none of it was true."
He finished speaking, curling one corner of his mouth: "My reasoning has never been wrong."
Everyone: “…”
Everyone complained in their hearts at the same time: As soon as the master opened his mouth, all the filters were shattered.
Gu Yuanfan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they weren't talking about Gu Bozhi. He sat down next to Gu Bozhi and jokingly asked, "Are you two already that familiar with each other?"
Bai Ningning: "I'm not familiar with them. I don't even know their names. Don't try to make connections."
Zhuo Yang smiled and said, "Even the barbecue was divided into two pots. It was indeed not cooked well."
Only then did the others notice that there seemed to be a clear dividing line in the middle of the dining table, dividing Zhuo Yang, Yuan Muyang and Bai Ningning, Chu Xisen, and Gu Bozhi into two sides.
Chu Xisen started to brag: "I told you not to touch the big stars."
Bai Ningning: "I'm telling you not to mess with the master of metaphysics. If he stabs you, you won't know why you're unlucky, and you won't even know how you died."
Chu Xisen was furious: "Why don't you speak up for me!"
Gu Bozhi was in a complicated mood and said hesitantly, "Sister Ningning, you really look like a train running away."
Bai Ningning: “?”
Gu Yuanfan teased the two of them: "After not seeing each other for a while, you two have become so close. This is the first time I've heard Bozhi complain about someone like this."
Bai Ningning: "Girls are like this, it's easy to get closer."
Gu Yuanfan stopped smiling and his expression turned unfriendly.
I thought the matter of "male body and female soul" was over, but Bai Ningning brought it up again.
Gu Yuanfan: "I said, try not to mention this-"
Before he could finish his words, Bai Ningning interrupted him: "I think you're overreacting."
Gu Yuanfan's angry reading was interrupted, and he looked at Chu Xisen, hoping that he could take care of it.
Chu Xisen just moved quietly to prevent Gu Yuanfan from suddenly attacking and hurting Bai Ningning.
Bai Ningning acted as if nothing had happened and urged Gu Bozhi, "Is the next batch of meat almost ready? I've finished my meat."
Gu Bozhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up to prepare the meat: "It's ready. Do you want beef or pork belly for the next batch?"
"Anything is fine."
Bai Ningning waved her hand casually. She just wanted to find something for Gu Bozhi to do. The child was quite nervous right now.
She glanced at Gu Yuanfan and continued, "First of all, Zhizhi is not wrong in this matter. Your reaction will make him feel that he is wrong."
Bai Ningning looked at Zhuo Yang and Yuan Muyang: "Secondly - can you two masters explain why there are male bodies and female souls?"
Zhuo Yang looked at Yuan Muyang, and when he saw that he had no intention of speaking, he spoke: "There are several possibilities. First, look at the fate. It's full of rivals and robbers, and mixed with officials and killers. It's a typical..."
Bai Ningning raised her hand and called for a halt: "Stop, speak human language."
Zhuo Yang choked and continued to explain awkwardly, "To put it simply, the first possibility is that they were twins, a boy and a girl, and they fought in the womb, one killing the other, but something went wrong when their souls merged; another possibility is that there was a deviation in the underworld and they were reincarnated with the wrong person, in which case they could be reincarnated together; and there's also..."
Bai Ningning interrupted his long speech: "Is there any possibility of correction?"
Zhuo Yang: "If it's a reincarnation gone wrong in the underworld, and the other person is still alive, then it's possible—but we have to find a ghost messenger above the level of a ghost messenger to handle it. But if it's any other situation, it's basically impossible."
Bai Ningning nodded and looked at Gu Yuanfan: "Do you understand? Which situation do you hope for?"
Gu Yuanfan felt complicated for a moment.
If there really was a mistake in being reincarnated with someone else, then Gu Bozhi would not be his brother, but someone else's sister.
Seeing his brother's conflicted expression, Gu Bozhi stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "But this isn't your fault, brother. You don't need to make a choice. And the specific situation isn't something we can predict."
Bai Ningning clapped her hands expressionlessly: "Yes, it seems you are more sober than your brother."
"We don't mention it in front of the camera to protect him, but what about in private?" Bai Ningning asked seriously, then picked up her chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat. You can figure out the rest yourself."
Chu Xisen always thinks in places where his brain shouldn't be, muttering thoughtfully: "That's right, some people think that being a star and maintaining a good image are more important, and they may ignore other things. If you don't say it directly, what if he has other ideas? My sister is really smart."
Everyone: “…”
She is smart, how about you?
For a moment, Gu Yuanfan even wondered if Chu Xisen was targeting him on purpose.
Bai Ningning remained calm: "This is actually an unsolvable problem. The only thing I can do is to reconcile with myself."
Bai Ningning took a piece of meat from the pot and gave it to Chu Xisen: "You can't eat other people's meat and cause them problems."
Gu Bozhi: "Wait, this piece of meat is not cooked yet!"
Only half of it was cooked, and the other half was just put on the grill, and the edges were still bright red - this brother and sister really knew nothing about cooking.
Bai Ningning pretended to be calm: "Really? It's okay, my brother is very capable and can eat it raw."
Chu Xisen seemed to be fooled and was really ready to eat it: "I like it medium rare."
[Sometimes I don’t know if Xiao Chu is really brainless or just a doting sister]
【Two cooking black holes】
[It must be said that the talents of Da Chu, Zhong Chu, and Xiao Chu are completely different]
Gu Bozhi couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he quickly grabbed the meat and put it back on the iron pan to continue frying it: "Wait a little longer, it will be ready soon. Eating it raw can easily make you sick."
Zhuo Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said with a double meaning, "Zhizhi is really kind."
He kindly changed the subject and didn't care whether his brother cared more about his external image and face or about him.
Zhuo Yang looked at Bai Ningning and Chu Xisen and asked, "Our meat is ready. Do you want to try it?"
Bai Ningning took a bite with chopsticks and said, "It's a bit old, not as good as Zhizhi's."
Gu Bozhi was placing the grilled meat on a communal plate. Upon hearing Bai Ningning's words, he took the initiative to pass the plate in the direction of Zhuo Yang and Yuan Muyang: "Would you like to try it?"
After eating, Yuan Muyang nodded seriously: "Indeed."
Zhuo Yang gave up: "...It's good enough to have something to eat, and you are so picky. I won't bake anymore, hum."
Gu Bozhi: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll grill the meat. I really like cooking."
Gu Yuanfan was about to speak when Bai Ningning interrupted him: "Don't be too sensitive. It's very normal for boys to like cooking. Don't stereotype them."
Gu Yuanfan: “…”
Bai Ningning: "Even if I really said Zhizhi looked like a girl during the live broadcast, half of the comments would be scolding me, and the other half would be good-natured jokes. The world is not as bad as you think. Kind people are the majority."
Gu Yuanfan disagreed: "The current online environment is very violent."
Bai Ningning suddenly felt a little bored. What's the difference between this and throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
She asked, "Even if we take a step back, don't you have some impressive PR skills?"
Chu Xisen asked Bai Ningning seriously: "Do you like Zhizhi very much?"
Gu Bozhi couldn't help but feel excited.
Before he knew it, everyone started calling him "Zhizhi".
Bai Ningning: "It's okay, what's wrong?"
Chu Xisen was serious, as if he was making an important decision: "I was thinking, if his brother doesn't want him anymore, we can take Zhizhi home as... whatever he wants to be his brother or sister, it's all fine."
Bai Ningning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You have to ask my opinion on this."
Gu Yuanfan coughed violently - his brother was still here, was it really appropriate to discuss this kind of issue in front of him?
Zhuo Yang followed suit: "It's not impossible. Zhizhi cooks delicious food. You can come back to the mountain with me. Everyone should welcome you."
Gu Yuanfan did not give a clear response for a long time. Everyone present was an adult and could basically guess what he was thinking.
Ignoring these issues, the meal was still quite enjoyable.
When they were almost done with the meal, Gu Yuanfan had someone touch up his and his brother's makeup and tidy up their looks, then he dismissed his work team.
He is very good at reading people's expressions. Chu Xisen, who is more famous than him, did not bring any staff with him, so it is not appropriate for him to bring people.
Chu Xisen then slowly realized the makeup problem, and with the mentality that if others have it, then my sister should have it too, he asked, "Are you wearing makeup?"
Bai Ningning: "Aren't you wearing makeup too?"
"That's because I'm naturally beautiful." Chu Xisen doesn't need anyone to flatter him. He is self-sufficient throughout the whole process and makes himself shine.
Chu Xisen pushed her to the lounge: "Although my sister is naturally beautiful, she looks better with light makeup. The camera is very mysterious and will flatten people into a single plane."
He seemed to be afraid that Bai Ningning would reject makeup, so he gave a lot of explanations.
Bai Ningning was puzzled: "Did you bring a makeup artist?"
Chu Xisen dug out a makeup bag from his suitcase and said, "You look down on me too much, don't you? This is the self-cultivation of a star, and I used to learn painting."
Chu Xisen first found a small hairpin to lift up her loose hair, then observed her facial features before starting to work.
Bai Ningning: "Very professional."
"That's right." Chu Xisen's tail was up in the air, but he was very serious about his work.
Gu Bozhi was curious and watched from the side, with a hint of envy and desire in his eyes.
Bai Ningning: "Does Zhizhi know how to put on makeup?"
Gu Bozhi: "No, my brother won't let me touch these. He said... he said only girls like these."
Bai Ningning pointed at Chu Xisen: "So what do you think of him?"
Gu Bozhi shook his head like a rattle: "Very handsome."
Bai Ningning pondered: "I'll find an opportunity on the show for you to try wearing a skirt once."
Gu Bozhi's eyes widened: "Is it okay? My brother will definitely not agree."
Chu Xisen warned, "Don't take such big steps. Are you trying to test public opinion?"
Bai Ningning: "It's easy. Just let my brother wear it with you."
Chu Xisen: “?”
