Chapter 10 Luo Xiaoran's mouth belongs to...
Chapter 10
The director was indeed planning to lead everyone in shouting the last slogan before starting the first activity of the evening—a stewed goose in an iron pot.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xingli, who was excited and looking forward to it, shouted it out ahead of time, causing everyone to burst into laughter. They couldn't help but follow the director and shout the originally somewhat awkward slogan with passion and enthusiasm.
"Considering that everyone has had a long journey today, all the ingredients for the braised goose in an iron pot for dinner are here, so you don't need to prepare anything extra!"
The director seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words, and said with a grin, "We'll arrange the rest after everyone has had a good rest tomorrow. Now, let's start the competition, with each couple forming a team! The first three to stew the goose will receive a generous prize!"
I have a bad feeling about this.
[This director is known for his penchant for messing with the guests, haha.]
[Director-in-Chief: In my experience, very few couples have successfully divorced]
After listening, Lu Yunxin and Zhou Maidong exchanged a glance, then each moved a small stool and sat back to back by the stove, as if as long as they sat there, the goose would jump into the pot and cook itself along with the potatoes.
Lin Ning was a man of few words, but very diligent. Even though he was a little pale and had been resting, he stood up, supporting himself on his knees, and squatted by the stove to gather firewood to start a fire, without caring whether Zhu Ji had come over or not.
"I still have to cook for myself?" Zhao Anyu, used to a life of luxury, immediately started complaining, "Nobody told me I had to cook for myself on the show..."
Bao Keming chimed in, "Exactly, this is outrageous! How could I possibly do such a thing?"
Chu Xingli was not afraid of hard work like Zhao Anyu, nor was she as outrageous as Bao Keming.
He found it quite interesting, since he had never lit a fire in an iron pot or stove before, and now that he had this opportunity, he definitely had to give it a try.
The staff set up five large pots in the courtyard and then stepped aside, ready to help the guests in case of emergency.
Or to put out a fire.
"Buzzing".
Just as Chu Xingli was about to work with Luo Xiaoran to light the fire and start cooking, her phone vibrated.
His job is unusual, so the fact that he might answer phone calls on the show at any time is written into his contract.
However, after taking out her phone, Chu Xingli still waved to the director, indicating that she needed to go out for a bit, giving the director plenty of face.
Chu Xingli walked to the gate of the courtyard and answered the phone: "Mom, what's wrong? I'm about to stew a goose."
"Wow, our Baobao is really amazing! Mom just wanted to ask you, which canned food does Er Gou like to eat lately? This little guy hasn't eaten or drunk anything all day."
Ms. Ye Huihui's loud voice was picked up by the microphone in front of Chu Xingli's neck, directly igniting the comment section, which had been somewhat calm due to the cooking segment.
[Oh~ so that's what it's called~ But I have to admit, it's really cute~]
[So embarrassing! A grown man like him is asking for a hug!]
[(Secretly whispering) The vice president of the Chu Group is actually named Hug Hug lol]
After speaking with Ms. Ye Huihui, Chu Xingli returned with the matches and found Luo Xiaoran talking to the program crew.
...The topic of how to cook goose and potatoes to make them more delicious.
Chu Xingli then thought of working together, with Luo Xiaoran in charge of stewing the dishes and him in charge of tending the fire.
"Brother Xingli, have you ever lit a fire before?" Chen Xuanqi had no idea how to cook, so she took advantage of Luo Xiaoran's absence to come over and chat with Chu Xingli.
Chu Xingli lit a match and said dismissively, "I wouldn't dare. Setting fire to the mountain would land me in jail for life."
Zhao Anyu also squatted down: "Brother Xingli, please teach us, we are really too stupid."
Like Zhao Anyu, Chen Xuanqi's initial intention for appearing on this show was not to reconcile relationships, but rather to look for a better option while still in a relationship, regardless of gender.
If they find someone suitable to spend their life with, they will decisively break up with that person and marry the one they hooked up with after the show ends.
Therefore, to some extent, Zhao Anyu and Chen Xuanqi, former lovers... are now rivals.
Surrounded on both sides, Chu Xingli was clearly unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
He was engrossed in studying the matches.
It was probably a bit damp; I tried striking several matches but couldn't light them.
Chu Xingli waved the match in her hand at the staff member: "Sister, why does this feel a bit damp? Can it still be lit?"
His tone was gentle, with a hint of a smile, showing only helplessness because the matches were damp, but without any sign of impatience.
The staff member quickly bent down and ran over to replace his box.
Seeing Chu Xingli skillfully handling the matches, striking them accurately every time, Zhao Anyu curiously approached him: "Brother Xingli, can I ask you a question?"
Chu Xingli, without looking up, remained focused on starting the fire: "Ask away."
"Shouldn't all CEOs be in dim lighting, a wicked smile on their lips, skillfully toying with a limited-edition silver lighter with their slender fingers?" Zhao Anyu asked.
Chu Xingli was speechless: "I just wanted to light a fire... there was no need to be so sinister."
[Hug: You've been reading too many CEO romance novels.]
[lol, they can't even give us a hug!]
[Brother Ranzi: You don't need to light it anymore, because your "fire" has arrived.]
Ever since I noticed that Ranzi's eyes were always glued to his wife, I felt he might actually say something like that (*￣︶￣)
[Haha, Ranzi, stop thinking about asking about the stewed goose! You're going to get your base raided!]
Bao Keming never did any housework at home, so he didn't think that starting a fire was related to him.
Seeing everyone busy, he went straight to the living room and his suitcase. Ignoring what everyone was doing or whether they had time to pay attention to him, he raised his voice: "Let me say a few words. My memory is terrible; I completely forgot. Now that we all know each other, I'll give you all a little something to say—"
As a son of a wealthy and influential family, Bao Keming's words immediately attracted the attention of most people present.
Seeing everyone looking at him, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he opened his suitcase right there in the living room, revealing a dozen or so identical books inside.
He huffed and puffed as he carried the books out of his suitcase. Seeing this, Zhao Anyu and Chen Xuanqi quickly stepped forward to lend a hand, fawningly handing them out to the guests present.
"This is a book I wrote. I hope it can help you when you feel lost in life and help you understand the true meaning of life."
Zhao Anyu and Chen Xuanqi were the first to receive their copies. After the books were distributed, they held their own in both hands and read them intently, simultaneously uttering sounds of gratitude and admiration like two robotic machines.
"Thank you, Teacher Bao! Wow, Teacher Bao is really amazing..."
"I always felt that Teacher Bao had an extraordinary aura, and it turns out he really is a hidden master!"
Chu Xingli glanced at the book handed to her, smiled without saying a word, her eyes full of sarcasm.
Someone who has a negative impact on society actually has the audacity to become a teacher.
"Xingli, how can just anyone become a teacher?" Zhu Ji didn't know much about Chinese culture. He flipped through a book he couldn't understand at all, and pondered how Zhao Anyu and Chen Xuanqi addressed Bao Keming. He asked this question sincerely.
Bao Keming's smile froze on his face: "..."
Zhu Ji and Lin Ning often give free lessons to children from impoverished families, and they are truly deserving of the title of teachers.
Zhou Maidong was a teacher before her debut, and Lu Yunxin has won the Best Actress award many times. Everyone in the industry respectfully calls her Teacher Lu.
In an awkward moment, Bao Keming, who knew he was empty inside, came up with a solution.
That means when in doubt, you can steer the problem toward Chu Xingli, and then you can gracefully withdraw and disappear without a trace.
He and Chu Xingli were enemies after all, and even though it was on live broadcast, Chu Xingli was mindful of their relationship and wouldn't resort to violence.
“I just heard someone else call Xingli ‘Teacher Chu’.” Bao Keming planned to use a diversionary tactic to drag Chu Xingli into the mess as well.
If it's embarrassing, then let's lose face together.
However, Luo Xiaoran had already made a move the moment Chu Xingli was targeted by Bao Keming.
As soon as Bao Keming finished speaking, he took out a thin little notebook from his schoolbag and showed it to Bao Keming.
"What is this?" Bao Keming asked, puzzled.
Luo Xiaoran used only the words "teacher's qualification certificate".
Bao Keming: "??!"
Everyone: "?!!"
Chu Xingli: "???"
Why does this guy carry all those things with him?
"What's the other one?" Bao Keming was clearly taken aback and asked the question reflexively.
“The other one is mine,” Luo Xiaoran’s voice sounded flat, but there was a hint of smugness in his tone as he looked at Chu Xingli. “We took the exam together.”
One is high school math, and the other is high school English.
Chu Xingli: "..." He doesn't even remember when he took the teacher qualification exam!
Bao Keming took a deep breath: "You don't have any other certificates in your bag, do you?"
When asked if he had any other documents, Luo Xiaoran certainly didn't hide them.
He then accurately pulled out a stack of small notebooks from his bag.
"Would you like to take a look at our marriage certificate?"
Bao Keming nearly choked on his own blood.
Chu Xingli's vision went black.
[Haha, Ranzi, you're so lucky!]
[Bao Keming really messed with this couple, haha]
He seems to genuinely want everyone to see his marriage certificate.
Luo Xiaoran is prohibited from taking the high-speed train; his mouth is considered a controlled weapon.
[Bao Keming: I'm asking unnecessary questions; the more I ask, the more I want to die.]
