The sound of cheese coming from inside the house.
Xu Miaotong stopped in her tracks as she was about to step inside, and her expression froze.
"Last time, Hao Hao's mom brought over some lotus leaf rice that she made for my dad and me, but neither of us wanted it. Her lotus leaf rice had no aroma at all, and it didn't look appetizing, so my dad and I wouldn't eat it!"
Xu Miaotong's expression grew increasingly stiff.
[Hahaha, Xu Miaotong's hilarious social media frenzy!]
[I feel like Cheese is a little kid tattling on her mom, like she's saying that last time Hao Hao's mom flirted with his dad, and his dad didn't even glance at her.]
[Upstairs, I think you're right, that's exactly what the cheese says (evil laugh)]
[Xu Miaotong deserves it! Doesn't she know the consequences of her own actions? She acts like a peacock, feeding everyone else.]
[Have you guys not been to Qin Yuanyao's live stream yet? Let me tell you, there's something even more outrageous waiting for Xu Miaotong.]
As such a comment appeared on the screen, Xu Miaotong composed herself and called into the house, "Yuan Yao, Cheese, President Chi, I'm getting the white sugar steamed cake and rice..."
Xu Miaotong froze when she saw Chi Naiqi come out, and the words stuck in her throat.
Because Chi Cheese was holding a white sugar steamed cake in one hand and a rice cake in the other, taking a bite from the left and a bite from the right as she came out.
Judging by appearance alone, the white sugar steamed cake and rice cake in Chi Cheese's hands look much tastier than what she makes.
"What? Why are you here again?" Chi Naozi frowned, perfectly conveying her "you're not welcome" attitude.
Xu Miaotong gave a dry laugh. "I made steamed rice cakes and rice cakes with white sugar and gave them to everyone. I originally saved some for you too, but it seems you probably don't need them."
As Xu Miaotong spoke, she adopted a humble and subservient demeanor once again.
“We really don’t need it anymore.” Chi Nao nodded. “However, I can share some of the white sugar steamed cake and rice cakes that Sister Qin made with you and Hao Hao. Do you want some?”
Xu Miaotong really wanted to say no.
But she knew what stance to adopt and what words to say at this time to best win over public opinion.
“Great!” Xu Miaotong’s eyes lit up. “I can learn some cooking skills from Yuan Yao.”
Chi Nai ran into the house with a clattering sound.
She came out after a short while.
However, she had nothing in her hands, while Qin Yuanyao, who came out with her, was carrying a plate with several pieces of white sugar steamed cake and rice cake.
Qin Yuanyao gave the plate to Xu Miaotong.
Xu Miaotong gestured slightly to the white sugar steamed cake and rice cake she had made herself, "Then what about this..."
Qin Yuanyao smiled slightly, "Your family doesn't have much wealth left, does it? You can keep this. If you run out of money for groceries, it will at least fill your stomachs. We've eaten enough, so we won't take anything from you."
Xu Miaotong smiled demurely and said, "Alright then."
She wanted to say something more, but Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi had already turned and gone inside.
Xu Miaotong was very unwilling.
She came all this way, but didn't even catch a glimpse of President Chi!
She lingered in the courtyard for a while, but when she still couldn't see President Chi, she left dejectedly.
[How could Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naoqi be like this! Tongtong didn't even eat, but made steamed rice cakes and rice dumplings for everyone. All the other guests accepted Tongtong's kindness, but Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naoqi looked down on her! They think their family is so wealthy! So what if they can cook! Tongtong was already being so humble, and they still maliciously gave her the cold shoulder! So vicious, so vicious!!]
—Xu Miaotong's fans, stop going crazy in the comments. You've used the same old arguments over and over again; I've heard them all before.
[Hahaha, upstairs, I almost actually thought you were a fan of Xu Miaotong too!]
[Shrugs. There's nothing I can do. I'm too smart. I saw through Xu Miaotong and her fans a long time ago. (Lights a cigarette)]
Did you guys notice? Yao Yao and Cheese went inside, but Xu Miaotong lingered for a while before leaving. Could she really be after Chi...?
[Are you looking down on us people who watch live streams with an 800x magnifying glass? (hands on hips) I noticed it a long time ago! If Xu Miaotong just came to deliver white sugar cakes and rice cakes, why didn't she leave? She's just trying to attract President Chi's attention.]
Xu Miaotong's act of feigning humility is so fake.
[And Qin Yuanyao is right. Their family does have a lot of assets, and more money means more food. They've had enough to eat, so she really doesn't need to take anything Xu Miaotong makes. Xu Miaotong's family only has 4 yuan left in assets; who knows if they'll have enough to eat next? Qin Yuanyao is actually thinking about Xu Miaotong's family. I don't understand why Xu Miaotong's fans are going crazy over this.]
Xu Miaotong returned to Li Qiaohui's house somewhat dejectedly.
She went into the kitchen and, to her astonishment, found Gao Li cooking.
Upon seeing Xu Miaotong return, Gao Li revealed an extremely gentle smile.
"Honey, you're back. Are you hungry? Come on, let's eat. This is my first time cooking, I don't know if it'll be good."
Xu Miaotong saw the two dishes on the table and instantly lost her appetite.
After Xu Miaotong left, Gao Li asked the production team to buy a few green peppers for one yuan.
Then, he made stir-fried green peppers with eggs and stir-fried green peppers with meat.
However, you can still see the eggshells in the stir-fried green peppers and eggs, and the meat in the stir-fried green peppers and meat looks raw.
Xu Miaotong was already in a bad mood because she failed to deliver the steamed sugar cake and rice cakes to Chi Baiyi. On top of that, she was hungry. The hunger made her even angrier.
Seeing how badly Gao Li had ruined the food the production team had given her, she felt like cursing him out.
"Why didn't you wait for me to come back and do it?" Xu Miaotong forced a smile and asked.
Gao Li gazed at her with deep affection.
Why didn't we wait for you to come back and do it? Don't you know the answer yourself?
Gao Li had privately reviewed the previous live streams and learned that Xu Miaotong's fans were criticizing him in the comments for doing nothing and only blaming Xu Miaotong.
Gao Li then realized that Xu Miaotong's humble behavior had such a hidden purpose.
So today, he seized the opportunity and quickly showed it to netizens, letting them know that he's not someone who does nothing.
"I was worried you were hungry," Gao Li said. "Besides, Hao Hao was already hungry, and I was concerned that he wouldn't be full from just eating white sugar steamed cakes and rice cakes, so I cooked some food first."
Their fans and Xu Miaotong's fans were indeed impressed by Gao Li's actions, and they praised him in the comments, saying that he knew how to improve. The fans couldn't help but shout that they were "I'm so into this ship!"
"Honey, you won't be disgusted by the food I made for the first time, will you?" Gao Li blinked and said with a hint of coquetry.
