Chapter 44
On the way back, Yin Mu opened the tea and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't tell what kind of tea it was. While waiting for the red light, he held the can in front of Chen Qinglin and asked him, "Do you know what kind of tea this is?"
Chen Qinglin took a closer look and said uncertainly, "White tea? It's very similar to what we drank today."
Yin Mu closed the lid: "Well, I can't tell. My dad drinks tea occasionally, and I don't know anything about it."
Chen Qinglin said, "Then I can take it home for my uncle to try."
Yin Mu was silent for a few seconds and chose to prevaricate: "Well, good idea." Then he quickly changed the subject, "I wonder what Meng Yuan and Zheng Wei did in the villa today."
Chen Qinglin shook his head: "I don't know, but with their personalities, they probably won't let themselves get bored."
Yin Mu thought about it and agreed: "That's right."
She could have fun even when leaving Zhong Mengyuan alone with Zhang Yang and Lu Zilin in the villa, and now with Zheng Wei joining her today, she felt like a fish in water. There was really no need for her to worry.
She was wondering if Zhong Mengyuan would come up with something new when Chen Qinglin suddenly said, "Today is the eighth day."
Yin Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was referring to, and replied smoothly: "Well, it's the eighth day, and I can go home soon."
Chen Qinglin nodded without saying anything, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.
Seeing his reaction, Yin Mu suddenly realized that he had said something very foolish and had low emotional intelligence. He quickly pretended to be relaxed and changed the subject: "By the way, Meng Yuan asked me to bring milk tea for them. Stop when you see a milk tea shop."
Chen Qinglin and Yin Mu left at the same time. Zhong Mengyuan even saw them off. She didn't even mention the milk tea at the time. Chen Qinglin knew this very well, but he also understood what Yin Mu was thinking. To reassure her, he agreed, "Okay."
[Chen Qinglin's parents are both dead...]
Ah, it's hard to imagine how sad Chen Qinglin must have felt when he heard the word "go home."
[How pitiful Chen Qinglin.]
[Yin Mu was so anxious that he would sit up and slap himself in the face in the middle of the night.]
[It's really going by so fast, it's already the eighth day, I don't want it to end. ]
…
Although he knew it was an excuse, Chen Qinglin still pulled over when he saw a milk tea shop on the side of the road, and accompanied Yin Mu in to buy milk tea before returning to the villa.
Back at the villa, the ice in the milk tea had begun to melt, so Yin Mu quickly shared the milk tea with Zhong Mengyuan and Zheng Wei. Zheng Wei thanked him with a smile, but Zhong Mengyuan frowned and complained, "This milk tea isn't even iced anymore. Why didn't you just buy me some hot milk tea?"
"You're the one who's always bothering me. I brought it all the way back, and the ice hasn't melted yet." Yin Mu didn't care and said casually, "If you feel it's too hot, put it in the refrigerator for a while before drinking it."
Zhong Mengyuan said unhappily, "Oh." He pulled out the straw, poked it in with force, and took two fierce sips.
"Huh? You look weird." Yin Mu raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What's wrong? Who was so bold as to make you angry, Zhang Yang or Lu Zilin? I'm going to settle the score with him." As he said that, he pretended to roll up his sleeves, as if he was going to fight.
Zhong Mengyuan looked at her coldly with a straw in his mouth, but did not stop her.
Yin Mu couldn't continue acting and pushed her shoulder in frustration: "What are you doing? At least give me some reaction!"
Zhong Mengyuan snorted and slurped the milk tea: "Go ahead, I'm waiting to test your love for me."
Yin Mu hit a snag, pouted, and had no choice but to turn around and ask Zheng Wei: "What happened to her?"
Zheng Wei was sipping her milk tea, watching the two of them arguing with relish. Upon hearing this, she spit out the straw. Seeing that Zhong Mengyuan had no intention of saying anything to stop her, she waved to Yin Mu, motioning her to come closer.
Yin Mu leaned over puzzledly: "What are you doing? You're so mysterious."
Zheng Wei said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I was summoned by the production team."
Yin Mu was shocked: "Ah? Why?"
【What?! You won’t let us hear your whispers!】
What do you mean? You treat us like outsiders, right?
[Hmm? Is there anything that even a distinguished VIP like me cannot hear?]
[Ahhh, what are you mumbling about? Let me hear it, it's driving me crazy.]
【I want to join, let me listen too! 】
…
Zheng Wei put her finger to her lips and said, "Shh, keep your voice down."
"Oh, sorry." Yin Mu quickly fell silent and let her continue.
Zheng Wei leaned in close to her ear again and said, "After you guys left today, Mengyuan and I had nothing to do, so we decided to figure out how to make puffs. Then the production crew called Mengyuan in on the pretext of something and told her seriously that she had to show her willingness to go on a date tomorrow. If someone invites her, she has to accept, but if no one invites her, she has to take the initiative."
"Ah, you want to force her to go on a date." Yin Mu nodded in understanding and looked at Zhong Mengyuan, who still had a depressed look on her face, feeling both sympathy and amusement.
No matter what, the production team cannot be blamed entirely for this matter. After all, it is a dating show. How can they just watch her keep acting badly and have fun?
Zhong Mengyuan got even angrier when he saw her laughing: "You're still laughing! Who am I laughing for?"
"Sorry, sorry." Yin Mu covered his mouth to prevent his smile from leaking out, and patted Zhong Mengyuan's shoulder soothingly, "Okay, it's not a big deal, just take it easy, learn from me."
Zhong Mengyuan rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "How do I learn? Do I choose Chen Qinglin too?"
Yin Mu felt a little embarrassed and looked for Chen Qinglin. Seeing that he had just come out of the kitchen and couldn't have heard them talking, he felt relieved: "Don't talk nonsense."
Zhong Mengyuan also noticed her gaze and rolled his eyes again without any concealment.
Chen Qinglin came over and said to them, "We plan to make dinner ourselves. Do you have any dishes you would like to eat?"
Zheng Wei's eyes lit up: "It's so good, can we order some dishes?"
Chen Qinglin smiled: "It's within the capabilities of Zhang Yang and me. Lu Zilin isn't very good at cooking either."
Zheng Wei thought about it and said regretfully, "Yes, Jiang Nanyu's cooking is better."
"That's okay, let's help too." Yin Mu suggested, "It will be faster if we all work together. - Meng Yuan, let them see your signature garlic-flavored spareribs."
Zhong Mengyuan was unmoved and said coldly, "I think you are greedy again."
Yin Mu smiled and shook her arm: "Hey, just consider it as fulfilling my little wish. I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time."
“Okay, okay.” Zhong Mengyuan glanced at her helplessly, “But I haven’t made it for a long time. Don’t blame me if it doesn’t taste good.”
"Great! Another chef!" Zheng Wei clapped enthusiastically. "Mumu, we're in for a treat."
Yin Mu blinked: "Yes, and this chef is usually hard to hire."
[I'm jealous. Zhong Mengyuan really dotes on Yin Mu.]
Please, give me a good friend like Zhong Mengyuan!
【Hahahaha, Yin Mu's emotional value is also maxed out.】
【Yin Mu really took advantage of Zhong Mengyuan hhhh. 】
[Zhong Mengyuan: What can I do? I just spoil her.]
…
Zhong Mengyuan was in a much better mood after being coaxed and teased by Yin Mu. Everyone worked together to prepare dinner. While they were eating, Zhou Jingyu and Jiang Nanyu also came back. The two had already eaten outside, but they also sat down and chatted with them for a while.
Before going to bed, several girls went upstairs together. Zhong Mengyuan pulled Yin Mu behind. Afraid that Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu would hear, she lowered her voice and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Vote for me, vote for me, vote for me."
It's like chanting a mantra.
Yin Mu found it amusing, thinking she was trying to take the initiative to avoid a date she didn't like, so he imitated her and agreed, "I know, I know, I know."
Perhaps it was because of the tea he drank in the afternoon, Yin Mu didn't sleep well at night. Not only was his brain unusually clear, but his heart was also beating very fast, with the "boom, boom, boom" sound one after another, extremely clear.
She never knew she had such a strong resistance to tea. She tossed and turned until the second half of the night before she fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next day, Zhong Mengyuan got the absolute date right as she wished, but none of the male guests got the absolute date right.
After announcing the voting results, Meng Meng continued, "As everyone knows, today is the ninth day of our show. We only have two days left today and tomorrow. The final selection will be made the day after tomorrow, so please seize the opportunity and don't miss out on the guest you're interested in."
Yin Mu frowned in confusion. Before she could ask, Zhou Jingyu asked for her: "The day after tomorrow? Isn't the final decision going to be made tomorrow?"
"Ah, that was originally planned," Meng Meng explained. "But after careful consideration, the director decided to hold the final selection on a separate day. Does anyone have any questions?"
When the contract was signed, the program team requested that the two days before and after the live broadcast be kept empty to avoid any temporary situations that would be difficult to adjust. The guests were all aware of this, and after hearing what Meng Meng said, they naturally couldn't say there was a problem.
Yin Mu was more concerned about tomorrow's schedule, so he asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Meng Meng smiled slightly: "Of course, we'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow."
It was their usual mystification. Yin Mu closed his eyes and was too lazy to argue with them anymore.
But Meng Meng still gave a little hint: "Tomorrow is not a free date, so please make good use of today and don't leave any regrets for yourself, okay?"
When she said this, she did not forget to look at Zhong Mengyuan several times, with a warning in her eyes. Zhong Mengyuan stretched out his voice and replied angrily: "Okay -"
[A pleasant surprise! Suddenly, there was an extra day!]
[The director is so willful, I like it! ]
[Hahahaha, what does Mr. Meng Meng want to express when he looks at Zhong Mengyuan?]
[Is Zhong Mengyuan going on a date? ]
[Go ahead! Zhong Mengyuan can choose anything today!]
…
Complaints aside, Zhong Mengyuan was a worker after all, and he always had a sense of professionalism. He said he wanted to go on a date, and he went straight to send the date invitation. When others saw how proactive Zhong Mengyuan was, they were all surprised and followed him to watch out of curiosity.
Yin Mu and Zheng Wei knew the inside story. Zheng Wei murmured, "Who do you think Meng Yuan will choose to complete the mission?"
Yin Mu shook his head: "It's hard to say, she always does what she wants."
Lu Zilin had hit a snag with Zhong Mengyuan the day before, and he wanted to know who she would invite.
Zhong Mengyuan picked up the marker, thought for a moment, and began to write quickly: "Chen Qinglin, go bowling!" Finally, he signed it in a casual manner: Zhong Mengyuan.
As soon as she wrote the first character "Chen", everyone was stunned. Zheng Wei turned her head to look at Yin Mu, full of doubts.
That’s not right. Isn’t Zhong Mengyuan stealing someone else’s love?
