Chapter 94: The Scheming of a Bitter Heart [Hello sister, I am also a green tea, I understand you...
He Yan's heart was knocked down and stood up again like a tumbler. He ignored Zhu Shengting and his ears became hotter and hotter.
The instigator glanced at him, smiled, and said nothing more.
[Oh shit…]
[Zhu Shengting, what do you mean? Zhu Shengting, what do you mean? Oh my god!]
Zhu Shengting said I will definitely follow this celebration banquet.
[Pass it on, Zhu Shengting said he was thick-skinned]
[Oh my, look, Sister Yan’s ears are all red]
[Fifteen minutes into the live broadcast, I'm already dying. Someone please save me.]
[My heart really stopped at that moment, and I even forgot to breathe]
[Oh my god, I'm really a little dazed... My partner is actually gay [horrified] and they've been together before [horrified]]
[I will never let you gay couple go! ]
[Well, less than ten minutes have passed, and the video that Shengyan's biggest fan posted has already been retweeted over 3,000 times. America is striking again!]
[So cool~ Sister Yan's ears are red as she cooks, so cute!]
[Okay, today will be another sleepless night for Shengyanpi. Who's so happy that they can get some sweets as long as the show is on?]
[Fuck, why were you guys pretending to be strangers in the beginning? I was really upset for a long time! I'm going to arrest you! I'm going to take you to a room where you can't leave without doing it!]
"The oil might splash quite high later, so please move back." Zhu Shengting picked up the washed lettuce that still had some water droplets on it and turned to remind He Yan.
Upon hearing this, He Yan obediently moved to the side, a little further away from the pot.
“Swish——”
Oil smoke rose up and some oil inevitably splashed onto Zhu Shengting's forearm, but he remained calm and picked up the spatula to continue frying.
When the pot was no longer running so vigorously, He Yan walked back to his original position. He noticed with his sharp eyes that the place on Zhu Shengting's forearm that was splashed with oil had turned red.
He turned his face away, trying not to notice. After a few seconds, he took off the gloves he used to marinate steak and went upstairs.
Zhu Shengting glanced at him, thinking that He Yan was going to the bathroom, and did not ask any further questions.
Before two minutes had passed, He Yan came down.
He took a box of wet wipes and a tube of ointment, pulled out a wet wipe from the box, and placed it and the ointment on a clean spot on the chopping board to the left of Zhu Shengting.
"Rub your arm. If it's still red, apply some ointment at night."
Zhu Shengting had just finished blanching the lettuce. He paused holding the plate, handed it to Yuan Xingliang behind him, and then slowly picked up the wet wipes.
In fact, Zhu Shengting didn't feel anything. It was normal to be splashed with oil when cooking. He looked at his arm and found that it was indeed a little red.
He picked up a tissue and wiped it twice, smiling at He Yan as he wiped, "Thank you, it should go away soon, no need to apply ointment."
Having said that, Zhu Shengting still put the ointment into his trouser pocket.
He Yan glanced at him, hummed softly, and then didn't look up at Zhu Shengting again. He put on his gloves again and continued to knead the steak with small movements with great concentration.
[Oh my, this is so cute! They're worried about such a small injury, but they don't say anything.]
Love is about actions, my friends, please stop saying one thing and thinking another.
[Ting's husband didn't give anyone the chance to be stubborn. He didn't even ask such meaningless questions as "Are you worried about me?" because he! Gets it all!]
[It’s over. Look at Zhu Shengting’s undulating expression. Is he going to hum a song in the next second?]
[He Yan, he just said he was going to chase someone, and you felt pity for him when you saw him get splashed with oil. What should I do with you?]
If you can watch the live broadcast in Room 3 for more than an hour, I think you are the best ninjas among ninjas, and the best fans among fans [thumbs-up]
[No matter how the toxic fans collapse, I went from being a fun-watcher in the first episode to a feasting party on the last date. I'm sorry, it's just too good to eat. I didn't get on the table seven years ago, but this time I must eat a big one.]
Those who are into feasting right now are really just eating the state banquet. I thought Mrs. Yan would roll her eyes at her brother-in-law on the show, but she only blushed. Haha! I'm going to judge this wife!
The meal preparation process was very busy. An hour and a half later, Zhou Chengyin and Yang Shao returned from the supermarket with a lot of things.
Zhu Shengting and He Yan had already finished preparing six dishes simultaneously with the assistance of Yuan Xingliang and Lu Hengting, and they were very efficient.
Yang Shao and He Yan suggested switching shifts so that he could cook the next few dishes.
Zhou Chengyin also walked over when he saw this, "Why don't you two take a break and go see how they've arranged it."
Zhu Shengting didn't hesitate and took off his scarf neatly. "OK, let's make room."
He Yan and Yang Shao whispered a few words, took off their gloves and left the kitchen.
He Yan's throat was a little dry because he had been busy cooking and had not drunk any water. He stood in the living room and took a few sips of water. Just as he was about to go to the back garden to see how it was decorated, he was stopped by Zhu Shengting.
"It seems... it's still a little red, and there's a new one." Zhu Shengting raised his right arm with a pitiful look in his eyes.
He Yan glanced at it lightly and indeed saw a new red dot on it. Zhu Shengting had been the one who was doing the hype just now. He was more of a supporting role, so he was basically not hit. It should be said that Zhu Shengting did not give him the opportunity to be hit.
"Didn't I give you the ointment? Just apply it and it will be healed soon." He Yan put down the water glass.
"There are red dots on both arms." Zhu Shengting showed his left forearm, which also had red dots on it.
"Wipe your left hand first and then your right hand." He Yan said lightly.
Zhu Shengting slowly withdrew his hand, and this time even his tone was pitiful, "Oh."
[Wow, brother-in-law Ting is a green tea]
[Hello sister, I am also a green tea and I understand you]
[I can’t stand this pitiful look. If you want Sister Yan to apply it on you, just tell me.]
[He Yan: I've seen through it]
[It's over, the self-torture trick is no longer working, it seems I still can't pretend to be pitiful.]
[You're an adult and you can't even apply ointment yourself, so forget it. Don't try to get involved with me.]
[Uh uh uh, being favored by my husband is a blessing, understand? ]
[Yansi, don’t forget that this is the ointment that your master brought specially. Tingsi, don’t forget that this is He Yan’s “ex-husband”. Maybe he will become her “current husband” in a while.]
In fact, he still didn't feel anything, but the words were already said, so it would be bad not to wipe it off. Zhu Shengting sat on the sofa and prepared to apply it a few times.
He took out the ointment from his pocket, squeezed a little on his fingertips, and applied it twice casually, not caring whether he applied it to the right place.
Just as he was about to change his hand, a shadow fell before his eyes.
"Give me the ointment."
Zhu Shengting suddenly raised his eyes and met He Yan's beautiful eyes.
Seeing that he didn't react, He Yan took the ointment from his hand, unscrewed the lid and squeezed the contents onto the cotton swab he had just taken.
"Raise your arms." He ordered calmly.
Zhu Shengting rolled his Adam's apple twice and raised his hand obediently.
He Yan carefully found the areas that had turned red due to the oil and applied the oil little by little. After finishing one arm, he moved on to the other.
Zhu Shengting was like a puppet being controlled throughout the whole process. He moved whatever He Yan asked him to do, but his eyes were fixed on the people around him, from He Yan's eyebrows to the other person's collarbone that was inadvertently exposed.
"Okay." He Yan threw away the cotton swab, stood up and walked towards the back garden without any expression.
[Oh my, this is also possible? 】
[Okay, friends, if you can't be in a relationship like this, forget it. Besides, we're not even in the Feast right now.]
[Who said this self-torture trick is hard to use? This self-torture trick is incredibly effective!]
[Shengyan, why are you guys like this? Tingsi and Yansi were cursing at each other just a second ago.]
[Okay, there's really no need to sleep today, Feast Pi]
[That part just lasted thirty seconds, guys. It was so good! So sweet...]
Zhu Shengting was so distracted by He Yan, what the hell is this if not love?
Who among you dares to look at the expressions of the others in the living room and kitchen, especially Zhou Chengyin, who is smiling meaningfully? I really can't stand it.
Does Zhou Chengyin know about... the banquet?
I have a feeling he didn't know, and he must have figured it out in the past few days. But is there anyone here who hasn't figured it out? That's incredibly clueless.
[I still love the clear goal.]
*
At 5:30 in the evening, after a meal as enthusiastically prepared as the New Year's Eve dinner, all the dishes and decorations were ready.
"I don't think they said when the guests would arrive?" Fu Zhuxing looked at his watch. It was already dinner time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Zhou Chengyin stood closest to the door and said, "I'll go open the door."
Yuan Xingliang sat in the corner and couldn't help but clench his hands. He Yan turned his head to take a look, then looked away.
So who could it be?
[Another exciting moment...]
[After this guest arrives, will there be another one? I'm so excited!]
[Who is it? Who is it?! Why is Zhou Chengyin so slow in opening the door? Is he doing it on purpose?]
[Hey hey hey! The door is open... What's this? ]
[Fuck——]
"Li Yuan?" Zhou Chengyin was stunned, a little surprised, and a little delighted. "It's you, long time no see."
The man came in wearing a black shirt and slim-fit trousers, carrying a suitcase.
"Chengyin, long time no see." Li Yuan and Zhou Chengyin shook hands.
"You can change your shoes here, please come in." Zhou Chengyin helped him carry his luggage and put it aside.
Li Yuan walked into the living room, looked around at the people inside, walked over and shook hands with Zhu Shengting on the far left.
"Director Zhu, we haven't had the chance to work together before. I hope we will have the chance in the future." Li Yuan smiled politely.
"I've long heard of your name." Zhu Shengting bowed slightly.
Li Yuan also shook hands with everyone else one by one, without stopping when passing by anyone, and it seemed like he had just met everyone.
Yuan Xingliang relaxed his tense body.
"Dinner is ready. Let's go together, otherwise the food will get cold." Fu Zhuxing reminded.
[Oh my god, it’s Li Yuan]
[Jin Quan TV King, this is, oh my god, I just finished watching that crime drama he starred in]
[Why are all the men I fall in love with gay? I want to die]
Doesn't Li Yuan look like he's unfamiliar with anyone? It seems he's only an old friend of Zhou Chengyin?
[But looking at him and Zhou Chengyin, there's nothing like before. How amazing.]
[This really tests the audience's observation ability, as everyone is acting like this]
[Li Yuan just finished filming a movie and rushed over...]
[I'm already dizzy after watching it all. I just know that we're a couple. Thank you.]
I'm going to use a magnifying glass to look at this while I eat.
The scenery in the back garden is very beautiful. It is summer now and the jasmine is in full bloom, with a faint fragrance wafting around.
Qian Zhixing and Fu Zhuxing decorated the place very attentively. They also prepared candles to create an atmosphere and placed them on the table. There were also beautiful small lights hanging around for decoration.
Because Li Yuan was a new guest, the seat in the front center of the long table was assigned to him while the others were waiting.
The remaining eight people sat on both sides of the long table according to the groups they had been divided into during the day.
This time, Yuan Xingliang sat opposite He Yan, while Zhu Shengting sat diagonally in front of him.
After another round of greetings, everyone started to eat without any hesitation. Everyone was very restrained during the meal, not even drinking any wine, and the topics of conversation were bland. Everyone played it safe, waiting to end the dinner as usual.
Just when everyone finished their meal and were about to leave, a staff member suddenly came over and handed Li Yuan a task card.
He Yan looked at the card in Li Yuan's hand and felt a sudden pang in his heart.
Li Yuan drank some water to clear his mouth and began to read the words on the task card.
"Welcome new friends to the cabin. After we have eaten and drunk our fill, let's play a classic game that everyone is familiar with."
The people at the table started looking at each other without saying anything.
Li Yuan paused and then said a few words.
"Truth or Dare."
