8:30 p.m.
Several paparazzi, squatting outside the tangerine workshop, were staring at the light upstairs, their stomachs growling with hunger.
They watched as one takeout order after another was delivered into the building, rubbed their rumbling stomachs, and swallowed hard.
Three or four takeout orders have already been delivered: one spicy crayfish, one lemon chicken feet, one Longjiang braised pork trotters rice, and one taro and crispy duck.
The goal was to wait for ages and still not get a picture, but to make sure each of these takeout orders was clearly visible.
Just by looking at the packaging, Paparazzo No. 2 could already imagine how delicious the food inside must be.
He looked at the head of the panpan bread he was munching on, and then thought about all those delicious treats. He couldn't help but feel his stomach growling.
"Boss, can we order some takeout? We're starving."
After saying that, everyone except the leader had a rumbling stomach.
Paparazzo No. 1 glanced at his brothers, who had all lost weight from starvation these past few days, before reluctantly opening the packaging of Panpan mini bread, taking a few, and throwing them at the people.
"Take it and distribute it."
Paparazzi number two, three, and four were speechless: Their boss is good in every way, except he's a bit stingy. He won't bring up dinner unless he catches a big scoop tonight.
Paparazzo number two couldn't take it anymore and threw the bread back with a pout.
"Bro, it's almost 9 o'clock! What kind of family would stay up until almost 9 o'clock this morning without eating? We're just waiting here aimlessly. Look at all that liquor in there, they've already ordered several takeout orders. It'll probably take a while. How about we order some takeout to tide us over?"
Paparazzo No. 3 quickly chimed in after swallowing the bread in his mouth: "Yeah, boss. We've starved to death here before we even catch anyone else. Remember the Longjiang braised pork knuckle rice I took you to eat last time? It was so delicious!"
The tender and bouncy pork trotters, the smooth and juicy texture, the enticing aroma of rice, and the perfectly balanced side dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes…
The image of a large, fragrant bowl of Longjiang braised pork trotters rice came to mind.
The paparazzi suddenly felt that the Panpan mini bread in his hand didn't taste so good anymore.
"Fine, I've been eating this bread for days, so I'll just order four servings of Longjiang braised pork trotter rice. Remember to note that you don't want cilantro."
After receiving the order, the guys immediately ordered four servings of Longjiang braised pork trotters rice and a giant fruit salad to cleanse their palates.
While waiting for their takeout, the group chatted.
The paparazzi, who was starving and almost exhausted, couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you go home instead of eating takeout here? Is it more enjoyable to eat takeout in someone's studio?"
Upon hearing this mindless remark, the paparazzi, speechless, picked up a piece of bread from the side and threw it at him again.
What kind of person is that? All they think about is food.
"Idiot! There's definitely her lover in there. They're probably already having dinner and are all lovey-dovey in there. I have a feeling we'll get some footage today. Everyone, keep a close watch. If we catch something today, we'll be eating pork knuckle rice every day, and crayfish won't be a problem either."
As soon as paparazzi number two, three, and four heard there was food to be had, they immediately perked up, shouted with determination, and picked up their cannons again.
"yes!"
8:50.
Baijiu finally waited until Luo Sheng finished his work, then tidied up the takeout boxes piled on the table and prepared to go home with Luo Sheng.
"Sheng, are you coming to my place tonight?"
Bai Jiu naturally took Luo Sheng's hand, placed the garbage bag full of takeout boxes in his hand, and casually mentioned this sentence.
Luo Sheng paused as he took the trash bag, unable to articulate his feelings. He looked at the liquor but didn't immediately offer an answer.
"Is it okay?"
Bai Jiu wrapped her arms around Luo Sheng's waist in a coquettish manner, and even rubbed against Luo Sheng's neck.
Most men would find it hard to resist such pure and unpretentious coquetry. Luo Sheng hugged Bai Jiu back, his voice noticeably hoarse.
"good."
And so, the two of them walked downstairs side by side, arm in arm, and out the door.
The woman smiled, and the man's face was full of doting affection.
Inside the black van, several cameras captured every single shot of the two protagonists.
"Damn! I was wondering why we couldn't get any pictures of Yu Nian and Luo Sheng. Turns out we were targeting the wrong people!"
"This liquor store is actually having an affair with the young master of the Luo family! What a terrible mistake to ship them!"
The eldest brother laughed when he heard the second brother speak, patted the two main characters a few more times, and then started mocking the second brother.
"Idiot, what kind of paparazzi would get into shipping couples while doing their job?"
Paparazzo number two was clearly indignant, "Hmph, it's all Luo Sheng's fault. I've been shipping this CP for so long and it's already broken up, but he made me wait even longer. That's pretty impressive..."
Paparazzo Number Three panicked: "We're doomed, guys! These two are going to get away! But our takeout hasn't arrived yet!"
The takeout that everyone had been waiting for was indeed late, living up to everyone's expectations.
Luo Sheng had already started the engine, and Bai Jiu looked at Luo Sheng's new car and nodded in satisfaction.
That flashy green car last time made her feel utterly ashamed.
"It's too late, I have to go. Tell the shopkeeper we'll go somewhere else." The paparazzi was also helpless. He stared at the car that was about to drive away and immediately stepped on the gas.
These days, being a paparazzi is really tough!
Hard work! And a miserable life!
While replying to the merchant, Paparazzo #2 cursed, "Luo Sheng, Baijiu, we have an irreconcilable feud with you!"
Oh, his fragrant Longjiang braised pork trotter rice!
It won't taste good when it's cold...
So, the van, filled with a bunch of hungry ghosts, followed the white Audi ahead unnoticed, cursing all the way, and finally arrived at its destination—the Yunji Hotel.
Despite being nearly starving, the group of people, whose work ethic was still admirable, each performed their duties, adjusted their angles, and took a flurry of photos of the two main characters who entered the hotel at the same time.
Alright, that's the final word.
With plenty of food, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into their seats, ready to eat.
It's both painful and joyful.
Ten minutes later, the four portions of Longjiang braised pork trotter rice and giant fruit salad, which had also traveled quite a distance, were finally delivered to the four workers.
After they had filled their stomachs, the group discussed the matter again.
Paparazzo number two, by selecting these photos, raised a thought-provoking question.
"Brother, is this big scoop going to be handed over to the boss like usual, or...?"
The paparazzi's eyes gleamed, and he casually picked up a bunch of photos and snapped them with his phone.
"We can't hand it over to the boss; we'll go it alone this time. If we leave it to that old guy, we'll probably just end up cleaning up the scraps again."
"If you want to make a big profit this time, listen to me."
After listening, the group exchanged glances and agreed that their leader's words made sense, nodding in unison.
"What I mean, brother..."
The paparazzi boss somehow got the liquor company's phone number, and after obtaining permission from his buddies, he sent them a multimedia message.
"Miss Bai, shall we talk?"
