After receiving the call from "Xing Yan", the man in black wanted to answer it immediately. But he saw a coffee shop not far away, which was the place with toilets that Ning Chuchu mentioned.
So he decisively hung up the phone and chose to walk forward quickly to solve his personal problem first.
After the man in black walked out of the café in a relaxed manner, he called Pei Xingyan back while walking back slowly.
"Hello, Pei Wang? Where are you now?" Pei Xingyan's warm and magnetic voice came from the phone.
The man in black, Pei Wang, strolled leisurely on the streets of Italy with one hand in his pocket, saying perfunctorily, "Abroad."
Pei Xingyan sighed deeply, feeling helpless about him. "Since you have agreed to meet Miss Ning, return home as soon as possible."
After hearing the three words "Miss Ning" from him, Pei Wang suddenly laughed softly. A hint of curiosity and interest appeared in his sparkling black eyes above the mask. He took the initiative to ask, "Xingyan, what do you think of Miss Ning?"
Pei Xingyan paused on the other end of the phone and said, "She is a clear-headed, calm, and strong-hearted lady."
Pei Wang touched his chin and couldn't help but recall Ning Chuchu's indifferent look when she asked him with a smile, "Do you want an autograph?"
This seemed to be the first time someone asked him if he wanted an autograph. In the past, people would always chase him for autographs.
Pei Wang shook his head and chuckled, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be back in two days."
Then I will formally get to know Miss Ning.
Of course, there was no need to let her know about this encounter. After all, he was in a hurry to go to the bathroom... It was quite embarrassing, and it didn't fit the image of a movie star at all!
When Pei Wang returned to the place where he had fished before, he suddenly found that the place where he put the fishing rod had become very lively.
"Another one! Another one!"
"Quick, quick, bring the bucket!"
"Wow, I'm in for a treat tonight!"
Seeing the bustling atmosphere from afar, Pei Wang couldn't help but frown.
He hadn't been able to catch any fish to begin with, and now these people were making such a fuss that they were going to scare away all the fish. It looked like he was going to come back empty-handed again today.
Pei Wang frowned slightly, took a few quick steps and came to the middle of the crowd, just in time to see Ning Chuchu holding his fishing rod.
He was slightly surprised. Although he had specifically told Ning Chuchu to play with the fishing gear as she pleased as long as she didn't lose it before leaving, he hadn't expected Ning Chuchu to actually be interested in fishing.
Pei Wang coughed lightly and was about to lower his voice to thank Ning Chuchu, but his eyes suddenly stopped when they swept across the bucket on the ground.
Then his eyes widened in disbelief.
He fished here all day and didn't catch a single fish. But... he just went to the bathroom, how come the bucket was full?!
Pei Wang stared at the full bucket in amazement. He squatted down in disbelief and took a closer look - there were quite a few fish in the bucket, and they were all very big.
As a veteran fisherman, Pei Wang's eyes when he looked at Ning Chuchu were completely different at this time.
What a master!
Pei Wang couldn't wait to ask, "Did you catch all these?"
"Yes." Ning Chuchu held the fishing rod leisurely. As she spoke, she swung the rod skillfully and another big fish was hooked.
She pointed to the bucket in front of her and said with a smile, "You said you could use your fishing gear, so I just caught a few fish. How about we split the fish in half?"
Just caught a few fish...
Pei Wang felt like an arrow had hit his knee. He fished for fun and didn't care about the fish at all, so he waved his hand generously, "Since you caught all of them, you can take them all. The bucket is also yours."
Seeing Pei Wang's generous attitude, Ning Chuchu did not refuse and accepted his kindness with a smile.
Pei Wang tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "How did you catch so many fish? Do you have any tricks?"
Ning Chuchu shrugged and smiled nonchalantly, "It's just good luck."
This is the truth. The reason why she was able to be so successful was all thanks to the lucky buff given by the jade bracelet.
Pei Wang choked and felt even more depressed.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then how do you know where the toilet is?"
Pei Wang was really curious. He felt that Ning Chuchu was very mysterious. She was obviously here with the program crew to record a variety show, but she knew the surrounding environment very well and could even tell where the toilet was.
The most outrageous thing is that so many fish can be caught in such a short time...
Ning Chuchu paused, feeling a little worried. Why are so many people so keen on getting to the bottom of things?
She couldn't lie now. She couldn't say that she cheated on the truth system and only then knew the location of the toilet...
After thinking about it, Ning Chuchu decided to fool people by pretending to be a "sage" just like she did to Duan Qinglin before.
So, she pushed up her sunglasses, with a light and calm smile on her lips, and asked, "Is this important?"
Pei Wang was a little confused, "...it doesn't seem to be important?"
After all, he had already gone to the toilet.
Ning Chuchu said in a noble and cold voice: "Since it's not important, then don't ask."
His attitude is cold, arrogant and mysterious.
Pei Wang: “…”
Is it his illusion? Why is Miss Ning more pretentious than when he first played a gangster boss?
Pei Wang looked at her with mixed feelings. He felt that in just one short encounter, Ning Chuchu had repeatedly refreshed the impression in his mind.
He suddenly felt a little bit looking forward to getting to know her formally.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ning Chuchu also planned to go back. She patted Gu Yunfei on the back and reminded him, "Pick up the fish, it's time for us to go."
However, Gu Yunfei stared at Pei Wang with a thoughtful look on his face.
Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows and used some strength on her hands, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Gu Yunfei suddenly came back to his senses. While bending down to pick up the bucket, he kept looking at Pei Wang, muttering, "Why does he look so familiar..."
Ning Chuchu ignored his nagging, casually said goodbye to Pei Wang, and left in a hurry with a group of people.
Pei Wang stood there quietly looking at Ning Chuchu's back. He raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering what he was thinking. After a long while, he came to where Ning Chuchu was before and continued fishing.
Ning Chuchu was able to catch so many fish just now, which shows that this is a good place for feng shui! Pei Wang was eager to show off his skills.
However, Pei Wang stayed there for a whole night and still got nothing in the end.
Pei Wang silently looked at the fishing rod in his hand and began to doubt his life.
Ning Chuchu and the other two returned to the duplex villa rented by the program team in the local area with their bags full of things. As soon as she entered the house, many people came forward to greet her.
Sui Feng walked up quickly, took the bag from her hand, and asked with a smile, "Are you having fun?"
"Of course." Ning Chuchu showed a comfortable smile.
She rummaged through the several small bags she was carrying, picked out three bags and handed them to Sui Feng, saying with a smile, "These are for you."
She bought more or less gifts for all the guests, including the staff of the program team. She carried many large and small bags, most of which were in the hands of Xie Jinqiu, Gu Yunfei and the staff of the program team. She only carried A small part, including gifts to Sui Feng.
Ning Chuchu moved closer to Sui Feng and said in a low voice, "Take it apart secretly."
The gift she bought for Sui Feng was not of the same price as the gift for others. Although they were siblings who had known each other for many years and had a deep relationship, it was natural that they were different from others, but it was not appropriate to show favoritism.
Sui Feng's expression softened and he nodded with a smile.
Xie Jinqiu, who was following Ning Chuchu, watched their natural and casual interaction, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes silently.
The simple and kind Yi Wen quickly stepped forward to help take the things and exclaimed in surprise: "Why did you buy so much?"
Ning Chuchu changed her shoes, sat lazily on the sofa, and said in a gentle voice: "It's rare to go abroad, I bought some gifts for everyone."
Yi Wen immediately rubbed her hands awkwardly, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
Ning Chuchu smiled, but before she could answer, she heard Hu Jiayu, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, say in a sinister tone, "Chuchu, the program team has limited funding, how can you spend money recklessly?"
Gu Yunfei took a few steps forward and slammed the bag in his hand onto the tea table. The loud noise startled Hu Jiayu. Gu Yunfei snorted coldly, "Sister Ning has already finished shopping and even has a lot of money left. She bought these gifts for everyone at her own expense."
Gu Yunfei imitated her tone and said in a sinister tone: "Sister Ning, I think Sister Hu doesn't like the gift you bought, so don't give it to her."
Hu Jiayu's face turned red from choking at Gu Yunfei's words, especially the call of "Sister Hu". Although she knew that he was deliberately trying to irritate her, she was still so angry that her body trembled slightly.
Ning Chuchu smiled slightly, ignored Hu Jiayu's provocation, and started distributing the gifts. This kind of contempt made Hu Jiayu's face even uglier.
Ning Chuchu doesn't always pick expensive gifts when giving them, especially for introverted and reserved people like Yi Wen and her sister Hu Jialing. Giving them too expensive gifts will only make them uncomfortable.
She gave Yi Wen a local famous hand cream, which had a delicate texture and a light fragrance. Yi Wen liked it very much and asked nervously, "Is this expensive?"
Ning Chuchu casually mentioned only a fraction of the price, and Yi Wen finally felt relieved.
Ning Chuchu gave Hu Jialing another exquisite ornament. She didn't seem to have expected that she, who always had no sense of existence, would be cared for. She was so moved that her eyes turned red.
Ning Chuchu had handed Xie Jinqiu and Gu Yunfei's gifts to them when they were shopping, and the rest were Yi Jun and Hu Jiayu...
Yi Jun still had a gentle smile on his face, but if you looked closely, you could tell that his smile was a little stiff. He didn't care about those small favors, but he was very proud. If Ning Chuchu gave gifts to everyone else but not to him... he would feel very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Ning Chuchu still bought him a gift. Not only him, but also Hu Jiayu, who had always been at odds with her, got one.
Ning Chuchu smiled calmly at Hu Jiayu's surprised look. No matter what she thought in her heart, she would never leave anyone with something to criticize her. As for the gift itself...
"Why is it this?" Hu Jiayu opened her gift with great expectation, but was greatly disappointed. There was only a bag of chrysanthemum tea inside.
Ning Chuchu glanced at her and said, "I see that you are always like a powder keg. Drink some chrysanthemum tea to cool down." The most important thing is that this stuff is cheap.
"But this is too cheap..." Hu Jiayu glanced at the exquisite ornament in his sister's hand and muttered unhappily.
Seeing Hu Jiayu's indignant look, Ning Chuchu immediately put on a righteous attitude and accused: "Hu Jiayu, I give gifts to everyone with my heart, how can it be measured by price?"
Hu Jiayu's face flushed, "No, I don't think so..." Of course, she couldn't admit in front of the camera that she was the kind of vulgar person who only wanted luxurious gifts!
Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then do you like the gift I gave you?"
Hu Jiayu turned around and glanced at the dark camera, holding back her anger and saying, "I like it. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ning Chuchu leaned back on the sofa and sighed softly, her tone a little sad. "As long as you don't always target me in the future, that's fine."
Hu Jiayu: “…”
Her smile was a little stiff, and her eyes staring at Ning Chuchu were about to spit fire.
No wonder people always called Ning Chuchu a green tea before, this person is so annoying! He only gave her a bag of chrysanthemum tea worth no more than ten yuan, not only did he occupy the moral high ground, but he also tried to squeeze her openly and secretly, making her lose face.
But she has to take the favor, and if she goes against Ning Chuchu again, she will be completely unreasonable.
It only cost such a small amount of money to shut her up. Ning Chuchu is so cunning!
Ning Chuchu's move unsurprisingly won her the hearts of a large number of netizens.
[Sister Ning is a beautiful and kind person! Even though Hu Jiayu was always irritating her, she still gave him a gift.]
[Sister Ning did this in a very dignified and generous way. I was really moved! ]
[I have to say, compared to Sister Ning, Hu Jiayu is really petty... there's no comparison! ]
[Sister Ning is really excellent and kind, I love her more and more! ]
Compared to Hu Jiayu's indignation, Yi Jun seemed a little confused. He looked at the foreign book in his hand and fell into deep thought. He had a low level of education and could not understand the bird language at all!
However, Ning Chuchu had already turned around and looked at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Brother Yi, do you like the gift I gave you?"
Yi Jun immediately put on a look of surprise and emotion, "Thank you Chuchu, I like it very much."
"Remember to watch it when you have time. The hero's experience will surely inspire you." Ning Chuchu smiled meaningfully.
The hero of this book is a two-timing scumbag who is eventually killed by two women.
Yi Jun couldn't show his uneducated side in front of the camera, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely watch it."
Soon it was dinner time. Ning Chuchu looked at the clean and bright kitchen and suddenly remembered her last experience of cooking on the show.
She was moved and knocked the jade bracelet again: "Are you there? Come out and pay the bill!"
The jade bracelet collapsed and appeared, "Payment? You haven't paid me back yet!"
Ning Chuchu used the same old excuse again: "If you don't give me the money back, I won't pay you back for what you paid me before."
Yuzhuo was afraid of the consequences and could only agree to Ning Chuchu's unreasonable request with tears in her eyes.
Thus, Ning Chuchu got another cooking bonus, and she immediately wanted to show off her skills, so she took the initiative to suggest: "I will cook tonight, and two people can help me."
After she said this, three men who had tasted her cooking fell silent.
After a while, Xie Jinqiu said in a deep voice: "You have been busy all day, take a rest. I will cook dinner."
Ning Chuchu asked in surprise: "Don't you know how to cook?" The last time he recorded the show, Xie Jinqiu was so clumsy that he couldn't do anything.
Xie Jinqiu's eyes flashed slightly, he lowered his eyes uncomfortably, and pretended to be calm: "I learned a little bit a few days ago."
In fact, Ning Chuchu's casual remark - "No woman will like a man who can't cook" had a great impact on Xie Jinqiu.
After the recording of the last episode, Xie Jinqiu found a professional chef to learn cooking skills.
But Xie Jinqiu subconsciously didn't want people to know that he took his fiancée's casual words as a guideline and ignored the matter.
Ning Chuchu didn't ask further questions, she just stood up and said casually: "Then let's get ready together."
Sui Feng frowned as he watched the two people walk towards the kitchen one after the other. He subconsciously stood up and tried to catch up, but was dragged back to the sofa by someone.
Gu Yunfei carelessly pressed his shoulder and chatted with him, thinking proudly in his heart, he is really a clever boy. He helped his cousin to hold back his brother-in-law, and he must ask his cousin for a reward later!
In the kitchen, Ning Chuchu was surprised to find that Xie Jinqiu had made much progress compared to the last time. Whether it's the technique and speed of washing and chopping vegetables, or the control of the heat, everything looks impressive.
Ning Chuchu was amazed in her heart. Is this what they call an elite? When they find that they have shortcomings, they will quickly make up for them.
This time the two of them worked together very well and prepared a sumptuous dinner in no time.
The longer Ning Chuchu spends time with Xie Jinqiu, the more she can feel his rare advantages.
Xie Jinqiu looks very cold, but in fact he is very considerate and attentive, and he is thorough in everything he does. There may not be so many thrilling moments when you get along with him, but there is a gentleness that moisturizes everything and is silent.
It really does feel like the peaceful and warm feeling that comes after many years of marriage.
The dinner that day amazed everyone.
"Did you make this?" Sui Feng looked at the table of delicious dishes in front of him in shock, unable to believe that they were made by Ning Chuchu.
Gu Yunfei's face was filled with turmoil. He had tried Ning Chuchu's horrible cooking skills and really didn't want to eat her dishes again, but this dish really looked delicious...
Finally, Gu Yunfei couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma anymore, so he mustered up the courage to take a sip. Then his eyes lit up and he started to eat the vegetables like a starving man.
Everyone devoured the meal and was very satisfied. They even developed a kind of worship towards Ning Chuchu - there was actually someone who could cook so deliciously!
Ning Chuchu felt the admiring and adoring gazes from others, smiled slightly, and kept her achievements and fame to herself.
That night, Ning Chuchu lay on the soft big bed and lazily called out, "I want to fill up the account for a good sleep buff, fill it up now."
Yuzhuo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You already owe me a few lies! Pay the debt first, and don't talk about collecting the debt!"
"Tsk." Ning Chuchu said indifferently, "I said I would return it to you later, why are you so stingy?"
"I'm stingy?" Yuzhuo's nose was furious. He couldn't believe that the heroine was so shameless and would turn the tables!
However, Ning Chuchu looked like a shrewd and unconcerned person, smiled nonchalantly, and threatened skillfully: "If you don't give me the money, then go find someone else to trade with. Anyway, I don't care."
Yuzhuo seemed to be very angry and didn't say anything for a while, and there was a tense silence between the two of them.
However, Ning Chuchu looked calm and didn't care at all. She was more patient than the angry Yuzhu.
After a long stalemate, Yuzhuo probably realized that he had something to ask of the heroine, so he could no longer be so arrogant. He softened his voice and said, "Just tell a lie or two! As long as you tell a lie first, I will immediately help you realize your current wish. How about that?"
Ning Chuchu got out of bed, put on a facial mask, hummed a song to herself, and completely ignored him.
Yuzhuo said all kinds of good and bad things to Ning Chuchu, but Ning Chuchu didn't react at all and was just doing her own thing leisurely.
Afterwards, Yuzhuo stared blankly at the heroine who didn't take her words to heart at all, and finally her defense broke down.
"Ahhh! You liar! How can you not keep your word!" Jade Bracelet collapsed and screamed.
God knows that he has not had any luck from the heroine during this period of time, and the heroine has been asking him for rewards every day, so his energy is really running out! If this continues, he will be forced to fall into a deep sleep!
Yuzhuo thought about the humiliation he had endured during this period, and about how the heroine had toyed with and ignored him. He was overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears, "It's so unfair!"
He just wanted to steal some of the heroine's luck, why is it so difficult?
Ning Chuchu touched her ear in annoyance, "Tsk, it's so noisy."
Jade Bracelet: “…Wuwuwu!” This heroine is so fucking heartless!
Ning Chuchu applied the mask while listening to the cries and complaints of Yuzhu in her mind. After a long time, she sighed and finally paid attention to Yuzhu. "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
Jade Bracelet: "...What do you mean?"
Ning Chuchu looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, her face filled with bright sadness. She said in an emotional voice, "My Lord God, I was so naive and enthusiastic. When I heard that you were in trouble and needed me to tell a lie to save you, I, a very upright person who never tells a lie, resolutely embarked on the road of no return by telling a lie to help you."
Jade bracelet: “…” What’s wrong?
The system eavesdropping on the conversation: "..." You, never lie? How dare you say such a thing?!
Ning Chuchu gently washed off the mask on her face. The splashing sound of water did not affect her "confession" to Yuzhu in her mind. "In the beginning, our cooperation was very pleasant. I lied once and helped you once, and you gave me a reward. There was no exception. It was fair, right?"
Jade bracelet: “…Yes.”
"So, when did I start to change?" Ning Chuchu's tone changed, and she complained in sadness, "I encountered difficulties before, and I asked you for help when I had nowhere else to turn."
"I thought you would be happy to help me based on our long-standing cooperative relationship." Ning Chuchu said faintly, "Who would have thought that just a small debt would allow me to see your true character!"
Jade Bracelet: "...What's wrong with me?"
Ning Chuchu accused: "How dare you ask me what happened? I wanted to pay off the debt, but you raised the price and asked me to lie three times before I could pay you back. Don't you think you are being too much?"
Yuzhuo felt a little guilty: "But you agreed at that time!"
Ning Chuchu: "Haha, I did agree at that time, but my trust in you was also shattered!"
"I don't want to see you now, please go away. Let's both calm down for a while." Ning Chuchu acted like the heroine in the tragic drama and fooled people seriously.
Yuzhu suddenly became anxious, "No, no, no, we have something to discuss!"
If he waits any longer, he will run out of energy! He must quickly win back the heroine's heart!
At this time, Yuzhuo was filled with deep regret. Why did he act so greedy at that time? Now, he has lost more than he gained!
Ning Chuchu was disheartened and said, "I have nothing more to say to you."
Yuzhuo was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. In order to win back Ning Chuchu's heart, he gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, and finally said cruelly: "I was wrong before, our debt... is written off."
At this point, Yuzhuo's voice was filled with a strong sense of pain, "From now on, we will start a new transaction, a lie in exchange for a reward. All previous debts will not count, how about it?"
Ning Chuchu sighed quietly, "It's hard to undo what has been spilled, and it's hard to mend what has been broken. My wounded heart will never heal."
Jade bracelet: “…”
He regretted it now, very much. Why did he have the bad words to provoke the heroine? He had caused the trouble himself and could only kneel down to make up for it.
In order to persuade the heroine to change her mind, Yuzhuo reluctantly bleeds heavily, "Not only will the previous debt be written off, I will also give you an extra free reward. Can we start working together again?"
Ning Chuchu sighed softly, her voice filled with deep sadness and disappointment.
Yuzhuo's heart was bleeding, but in order to win back the heroine, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll give you three rewards! I'll give you a good sleep buff right away."
Secretly, Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows with satisfaction, thinking that this was a bit sincere.
She was happy in her heart, but her tone did not show it. Instead, she said hesitantly, "Well, since you have asked me sincerely, I will reluctantly agree to your request."
"But..." Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold and dangerous light flashed in her peach blossom eyes, but her tone was very gentle, "Will you cheat me like that again in the future?"
Yuzhuo was about to cry, and hurriedly promised: "No, no! I will be honest in the future!"
Wuwuwu, how could he dare to trick this horrible heroine!
He admitted it, really admitted it! He would never do it again!
Ning Chuchu showed a meaningful smile and said softly, "That's right."
"Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself, how could I make things difficult for you? Let's cooperate well and both sides will win, right?" Ning Chuchu knew the routine of hitting someone with a stick and then giving them a sweet date, so she started to draw a big cake for the jade bracelet.
Yuzhu nodded fearfully and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's cooperate well, I will never do it again!"
Wuwuwu, he really regretted it! Obviously, the initiative of cooperation was in the hands of the heroine, and the heroine was such a strong and cunning character, why did he have to dance on the heroine's bottom line?
Now, several rewards have been wasted, wasting a lot of his energy!
However, fortunately, the heroine has not been completely disappointed in him, and he still has a chance to redeem himself. He must behave well in the future and can't do this again! Yuzhuo silently made up his mind.
Ning Chuchu turned over comfortably in bed. Before falling asleep with the sleep buff given by the jade bracelet, she thought happily: The dog training plan has been initially successful~
The system that monitored all of this: "..."
PUA masters are so terrifying!
After the second episode of the show in Italy was finished, Ning Chuchu hurried back to China and began to prepare for the meeting with the actor Pei Wang.
Since one of them is a popular female star and the other is a well-known movie actor, people are watching them everywhere, so they simply decided to meet at Pei Xingyan's home.
One afternoon, Ning Chuchu brought the extremely excited Feng Yifan and the script of the crime suspense movie called "Hunter" and rushed to the meeting place impatiently.
With Pei Xingyan's introduction, Ning Chuchu finally met this famous movie star.
The other person looked young and handsome, with a calm and gentle expression, and a kind of elegance and calmness that came from a person who had seen a lot of things.
"Hello, Miss Ning." Pei Wang smiled kindly and extended his hand. He even praised her gentlemanly, "You look very good today. You are very beautiful."
Feeling Pei Wang's politeness and kindness, Ning Chuchu was delighted and felt that today's cooperation was stable!
Ning Chuchu showed an elegant and charming smile on her face, and began to flatter Pei Wang in return, "Hello, Mr. Pei, it's a pleasure to meet you. You look very good today..."
Ning Chuchu wanted to reply with a polite remark like "you look good", but before she could finish her words, a long-lost uncontrollable feeling came over her.
Her mind went blank, and she couldn't control her words anymore, "...You look pale today, with dark circles under your eyes, and you look very bad. You can tell at a glance that you are seriously ill!"
Ning Chuchu: "..." Damn, this familiar feeling of embarrassment...
Pei Wang: “……?”
Everyone: “……!”
Feng Yifan began to doubt his life. They really came here to cooperate with Pei Wangqiu, not to mess things up, right?
