Chapter 213 Extra Four (4)
Extra Four (4)
[It’s so cute!]
[Did these two little babies hide in the straw pile during the day? ]
[She really does look a bit like Mr. Jiang, especially her eyes. And she's so close to Mr. Jiang. We're so destined to be together.]
"..." Gu Jiangkuo held the spatula and asked the two little kids, "Are you afraid of me?"
Then the two little ones hugged Mr. Jiang's legs even tighter.
The little boy timidly replied, "Uncle, you look a little scary."
Gu Jiangkuo: “……………………”
"You guys are going too far!" Mr. Gu complained. "You called me ugly and you're hugging my wife!"
The comments were so funny that the screen was full of [Hahahaha].
Jiang Nuo also smiled and comforted the two little cuties, saying, "Uncle is just teasing you. He's not scary at all. Can you please let me go?"
The two little kids hugged Jiang Nuo's legs at the same time, neither of them letting go.
Jiang Nuo was helpless: "You guys are holding me like this, I can't move!"
Suddenly, a spatula was handed over, and Jiang Nuo took it subconsciously. Then, Gu Jiangkuo, his hands free, picked up the little boy who had just said he looked scary and said fiercely, "Am I scary? Ouch!"
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
The little boy's mouth pursed, as if he was about to cry.
But Mr. Gu actually had a solution: "Want some candy? If you don't cry, uncle will give you some candy!"
Jiang Nuo wondered how such a crude method could work, but then she saw the little boy actually holding back his tears, staring with his eyes wide open, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Gu Jiangkuo pressed on: "You have to smile again before you can have candy."
The little boy puffed out his cheeks and smiled brightly.
"????" Jiang Nuo, "Is this also possible?"
Gu Jiangkuo continued: "Good boy, wait here for a moment, and I'll get you some candy, okay?"
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Jiang Nuo had another little kid tied to his leg, so he couldn't move. He could only mouth the question, "Where did you get the candy?"
Gu Jiangkuo made an "OK" gesture.
The camera followed Gu Jiangkuo and cut away until it reached a corner where the children couldn't see him. Only then did Gu Jiangkuo turn to the camera and ask the photographer, "Hey, do you have any candy?"
Photographer: “?”
"No?" Gu Jiangkuo asked the other staff members, "Who has some candy? Can someone help me buy two from the village store?"
[So this is a buy now? Hahahahaha]
[Sure enough, you are deceiving children]
[Mr. Gu is really something]
[I feel sorry for the kid for a second. If he had a kindergarten diploma, he wouldn't have fallen for this kind of trick. Hahahahahaha]
There were actually staff members who carried candy with them, but they were only chewing gum and mint hard candies for freshening breath.
The chewing gum had a sweet watermelon flavor, but Gu Jiangkuo still chose the mint hard candy and took two pieces. He not only gave one to the little boy he had just fooled, but also gave one to the little girl who was holding Jiang Nuo tightly.
The three-year-old little boy was quite easy to fool. He was bribed by a piece of candy. Sure enough, he was no longer afraid of Gu Jiangkuo. He held the milk carton and ate the candy obediently. He neither ran nor made a fuss. He was so cute.
Jiang Nuo's legs finally felt free again, and she couldn't help but walk over to Gu Jiangkuo and complain, "What kind of candy did you give me? Why does it look so much like the free candy restaurants give out after dinner?"
Gu Jiangkuo put his ear close to Jiang Nuo's and said mysteriously, "That's it."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Gu Jiangkuo: "It's not my fault. Who would carry candy around for no reason? The crew only has two kinds. The other kind is chewing gum, but there's a saying that if children accidentally swallow it, it will stick to their intestines."
Jiang Nuo: "The rumors have been debunked long ago. If you accidentally swallow one or two pieces, they will just be excreted through the digestive tract. Those were all rumors we heard when we were kids."
"Oh." Gu Jiangkuo, "Then I'll take the chewing gum back. It's watermelon flavored, and kids will definitely like it."
"Hey! Come back!" Jiang Nuo quickly pulled him back. "Forget it, forget it. It's better to believe it. What if there's danger?"
Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you say that the experts had debunked the rumor?"
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of one." Jiang Nuo, "Forget it."
Gu Jiangkuo asked curiously, "Why are you so nervous about those two kids?"
As if a word of enlightenment, Jiang Nuo also realized: Was he too concerned about the two little dumplings? Normally, when he encountered children on the road, he would at most remind the driver to give way to pedestrians, and he would not be so nervous.
I don’t know why, but I just like these two little things.
Maybe this is what they call rapport?
Jiang Nuo suddenly felt a regretful thought: If only I had met them in the welfare home.
I immediately shook my head, quickly dismissing the thought. What was there to regret? The greatest happiness for every child was having a loving parent.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jiangkuo asked.
"It's okay," Jiang Nuo said, "I just remembered that the food is ready and it will get cold if I don't eat it now."
Chef Gu immediately chimed in: "It won't taste good if it gets cold! Come on, come on, eat."
"Children, do you want to stay and eat with us?" Gu Jiangkuo asked again.
For a moment, Jiang Nuo hoped the two little kids would say, "Let's stay here," but they both shook their heads and said in baby voices, "We have to go home."
"If you don't go home at night, your uncle will scold you."
As expected, he wasn't too disappointed. Mr. Jiang then instructed the staff, "Send them back. It's not safe for children to walk on the road at night."
Gu Jiangkuo watched Jiang Nuo eagerly watching the two little kids go out. He roughly understood what his wife meant, but he didn't say it in front of the camera. He just called him: "Nuonuo, it's time to eat."
"Oh, okay."
There was a large table full of delicious dinner. In order to facilitate the shooting, the table was set up directly in the yard. The evening breeze was gentle, and the aroma of the food mixed with the smell of grass was very pleasant.
Gu Jiangkuo first picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for Jiang Nuo with his chopsticks. "This is your favorite. Try it and see how your husband performs today."
Mr. Jiang chewed it slowly and ate it, praising it respectfully: "It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, and delicious. It's better than anything in the restaurant. You're worthy of it!"
"That's too fake, Jiang Nuonuo!" Although he said that, Mr. Gu couldn't stop smiling. "Am I good at cooking?"
"Of course." Jiang Nuo encouraged, "It's delicious and fragrant."
[I suddenly understand why Mr. Gu, the chairman of a listed company, can actually cook. It must be Mr. Jiang’s praise, hahahaha]
[Boss Jiang, you're such a scheming boy!!! I didn't expect you to be this kind of Boss Jiang]
[Hahahaha Mr. Jiang, you are just fooling around. Keep on fooling around.]
[But, it looks really delicious.]
[Boss Gu, do you have any surprises that I don't know about?]
[He can handle an IPO, manage a kitchen, and maintain a strong physique. How can Mr. Gu do it all? This man is simply too perfect.]
[A versatile and all-rounder, Mr. Gu is a complex man]
Mr. Jiang's Thousand-Layered Routine: You work in a sexy way; your cooking is even better than in a restaurant. On how to cultivate a good husband.
[To be honest, Mr. Jiang has a really high emotional intelligence. This is the way for couples to get along.]
Gu Jiangkuo was very satisfied with the praise and started working without any hesitation. After dinner, he volunteered to wash the dishes. While he was washing the dishes, Jiang Nuo had already boiled the water for a bath - boiling water for a bath consists of two steps: the first step is to plug in the power supply, and the second step is to turn on the switch.
But such intense "labor" still moved Mr. Gu deeply: "Nuonuo, you boiled it? You boiled water just for me? You actually worked?"
[That's too much, it's just boiling water]
[You have to understand that Mr. Jiang lives in a big villa and has a nanny at home. He probably only has to do things like eating and sleeping. He must be used to a life of luxury, right?]
[Sorry, I’m putting my own living standards into this again]
Jiang Nuo smiled speechlessly and said, "It's just a switch, stop acting."
Gu Jiangkuo also laughed.
Jiang Nuo complained again: "The electric water heater here can only boil one tank of water at a time, which is not enough for two people to wash. It needs to be boiled again later, and it takes half an hour. Why don't they use gas?"
"My eldest young master," said Gu Jiangkuo, "this is a rural area. Every village now has electricity, but I've never heard of every village having gas. However, I have a solution."
Jiang Nuo: "What?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "Why don't we wash together? It'll save a lot of water."
Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together!
Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together!
What did I hear? Hehehehehehe
Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together! Let’s wash together!
At this time, Jiang Nuo looked at the director and winked at him openly. The director checked the time and thought it was about time, so he quietly said into the microphone: "That's enough, Mr. Jiang, we can call it a day."
Jiang Nuo then turned to the camera and said with a smile: "Today's live broadcast ends here, goodbye."
Gu Jiangkuo also cooperated and waved: "Goodbye! See you tomorrow!"
[No! ! ! ! I haven’t seen enough! ]
【I can watch this all day long!!!】
[Play it for a while longer, I don’t need that little bit of traffic]
【Why did you pinch me at the critical moment?】
[Can I watch "Taking a Bath" on advanced on-demand? ]
[I don't want to watch Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu take a shower, I just want to spend money. Can the website give me the opportunity to spend money? Don't make me kneel down and beg you!]
But the live broadcast was shut down as scheduled. After Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo thanked the crew for their hard work, they suspended today's filming. The crew carried their equipment to a hotel in the town, which was a ten-minute drive away.
Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo actually live in this small courtyard.
After closing the courtyard door, the two of them squeezed into the shower room and took a bath together. This bath took quite a long time, from the bathroom to the bedroom, and then back to the bathroom. After rinsing for the second time, Jiang Nuo leaned breathlessly on Gu Jiangkuo's strong chest, sighing, "I didn't expect that this small country courtyard would be so exciting."
Gu Jiangkuo's voice was filled with satisfaction: "It must be more exciting in the yard, but you don't want to."
"...Gu Dajiang, shut up," Mr. Jiang rolled his eyes at him. "The gate of that yard is so big, it's visible from the outside. It's no different from being outdoors."
Gu Jiangkuo: "Actually, the outdoors is also nice..."
Before he could finish his words, he was confronted by Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Gu was beaten and complained with great enjoyment: "Look at you, you are not civilized at all. You didn't even say a bad word before we got married, and now that you have tricked me into marriage, you are committing domestic violence. Oh, men really can't get married. Once you get me, you won't be cherished."
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
"Do you think I'm paying attention to you?" Jiang Nuo reached out for his phone, ready to check his email and watch some short videos.
When I got my phone back, I found three missed calls, all from Jiang Xia.
The earliest call was two hours ago.
"I forgot to unmute!" Jiang Nuo said in frustration, "Jiang Xia called two hours ago."
What Mr. Jiang meant was naturally: Jiang Xia must have something urgent.
However, Mr. Gu got the point: "Huh? So it took two hours? That's not bad."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
God damn it’s okay.
Jiang Nuo called Jiang Xia and gave Gu a warning look, telling him not to talk nonsense. However, Gu·Vinegar Jar·Jiang Kuo encountered Jiang Xia, his "former rival in love", talking to Nuo Nuo in the middle of the night and insisting that Jiang Nuo put the phone on the line.
Jiang Nuo was too lazy to argue with him and actually pressed the release button.
"Hello! Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Nuo: "I didn't hear it because I was muted before. What's going on?"
Jiang Xia: "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jiang. I have something to report to you. Our live broadcast was so successful. Do you know how good the data was? It's even trending on the Internet."
Jiang Nuo: "Buying trending searches so early? Didn't you say you'd buy them on the third day when we go to Jiang's Farm?"
"No!" Jiang Xia, "I haven't bought it yet. This was sent to us by netizens themselves! Our show is a hit!! I heard that the partner who withdrew their investment is regretting it so much, hahaha. I never thought it would be so successful. Mr. Jiang, you're so photogenic, so handsome. Mr. Gu has such a great sense of variety!"
Gu Jiangkuo raised his eyebrows silently towards Jiang Nuo, and the words "Brother is awesome" were almost written on his face.
Jiang Nuo: "...Aren't we both 'outdated internet celebrities'? Why are we so popular?"
Jiang Xia: "What a coincidence! This was brought up by another topic. The celebrity couple who originally signed the contract officially announced their divorce today. It was quite an ugly scene, and it went viral. Our show was immediately brought into the topic, and as a result, more and more netizens watched it, saying that seeing you made them believe in love again."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Mr. Jiang: "You called me in the middle of the night just to talk about this?"
"Oh no!" Jiang Xia immediately got to the point. "Because the show was so good, our entire project department hopes you and Mr. Gu can stay for a few more days."
Jiang Nuo: "I..."
"I've checked your schedule," Jiang Xia said. "Don't say you don't have time. You can always make some adjustments."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Jiang Xia: "The search volume for Jiang's Organic Milk on Tmall's flagship store has increased by 600% compared to the previous average, just today. The store sales statistics haven't arrived yet."
Jiang Nuo: "I can make time."
Gu Jiangkuo silently complained in a place where President Jiang couldn't see: "Little money-grubber."
"That's great!" Jiang Xia beamed. "Let's record at least one more episode. I'll have Xiao Wang send you the specific schedule tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Jiang Nuo, "That's it."
This means to hang up the phone.
But Jiang Xia suddenly called out, "Nuonuo."
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Gu Vinegar: “!?”
Jiang Xia asked quietly, "Is Mr. Gu with you?"
Gu Jiangkuo shook his head sharply.
"..." Jiang Nuo, "Uh, just tell me what you want to say."
Jiang Xia sighed in relief. "My dad's been urging me to get married again. He said I'm in my thirties and no matter how successful my career is, I'm a loser if I don't have a partner and children. It's all your fault."
"?" Mr. Jiang said with a strong desire to survive, "What does this have to do with me?"
Jiang Xia: "Why doesn't it matter? My standards were raised because of my blind date with you. After you rejected me, I never met a guy as handsome as you again."
Seeing that Gu Cujing was about to grab the phone, Jiang Nuo quickly said, "Boss Xia, what do you want to say? You're not asking me to introduce you to someone, are you?"
"Tsk, come on," Jiang Xia said. "I've been single for a long time and haven't wanted to get married for a long time. But I'm also a little tempted to raise a baby—those two kids I saw on the livestream today were so adorable! They sparked my maternal instinct—so I wanted to ask, do you have any recommendations for places to adopt children?"
Jiang Nuo heaved a sigh of relief and gave Gu Cujing a look that said, "You're overthinking it again, stop being jealous." He said, "I haven't met the right person myself. The procedures are quite complicated. It also depends on fate."
"Hey," Jiang Xia, "You've been busy for so long and there's no progress? Forget it, I'd better just focus on finding a handsome guy. And Nuonuo, if you meet a handsome guy, remember to introduce him to me! It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a car or a house, the most important thing is that he's handsome. Well, at least as handsome as you!"
"I'll keep an eye on it for you too." Gu Jiangkuo suddenly interrupted coldly.
Jiang Xia: “?”
Jiang Xia hung up the phone immediately and said, "It's too late, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu!"
Gu Jiangkuo muttered angrily, "What do you mean by 'almost as handsome as you'? I think she's still obsessed with you."
Jiang Nuo yawned: "She and I have different sexual orientations. Why are you so reluctant? Just go to sleep."
Turning off the lights, Gu Jiangkuo hugged Jiang Nuo in the darkness, "Jiang Xia is a very superficial woman. She only cares about your appearance. I am different. I like your soul."
Jiang Nuo: "...Didn't you say you fell in love with me at first sight?"
Gu Jiangkuo: “Yes!”
Jiang Nuo: "Love at first sight, isn't that just 'lust at first sight'? How dare you say you don't like my body?"
Gu Jiangkuo said stubbornly: "My love for you is very high-level. I only like your soul!"
Jiang Nuo: "Then you say, Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people."
Gu Jiangkuo: “…………”
"Well, I do, and I like your, uh," Gu Jiangkuo said honestly, "body."
Jiang Nuo laughed.
Mr. Gu was a little angry and pinched Jiang Nuo's waist from behind, "What are you laughing at!"
As a result, Jiang Nuo laughed even more happily. Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help laughing too, and then he tugged at the quilt, "Nuonuo, don't always turn your back to me, turn around."
"That's right, I want to hug you face to face."
Gu Jiangkuo pressed Jiang Nuo's head against his chest and said contentedly, "Good night."
Mr. Jiang was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting. He kissed him lightly on the chest and said, "Good night."
The night in the countryside is quiet and warm. After turning off the lights, you fall into deep darkness, completely free of the light pollution in the city. Lying in the strong arms of your lover, you feel unexpectedly safe.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo were woken up by the crowing of a rooster.
"Where did the chicken come from?"
"Neighbor's, right? What time is it?"
Jiang Nuo subconsciously touched his phone to check the time, and found several unread messages. The director team had created a small group, which only contained the director, executive director, producer, Jiang Nuo, and Gu Jiangkuo.
Director: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Gu, are you awake? I want to take a picture of you getting up and going out without makeup, is that okay?"
Gu Jiangkuo leaned forward and asked, "What do you mean by 'no makeup'? We both never wear makeup, do we?"
Mr. Jiang guessed: "You mean you didn't wash your face?"
"Oh." Gu Jiangkuo said, "That's fine."
Jiang Nuo replied: "Okay, get up now."
The director replied immediately: "OK."
But Mr. Jiang still had some idol image in him, and he thoughtfully pulled Gu Jiangkuo to look in the mirror with the front camera, and only pushed the door open to make sure there was no eye boogers or anything like that.
【Good morning! ! ! ! 】
【Finally squatted down!!】
[Wow, Mr. Jiang looks so good even when he just woke up. Handsome guys are really good-looking! ]
[No makeup at all! My hair is still messy and my face hasn’t been washed yet, hahaha]
This is what a reality show is! This show is great, and it's worth it for me to come here from the trending search and wait in the morning.
【+1 from hot search】
[+1]
Jiang Nuo couldn't stand not washing his face, so he showed up for a while and then went back to his room to wash up - the toiletries he used were all big brands, and the logos were not processed in advance, which made it difficult to edit during the live broadcast.
Gu Jiangkuo was much more rough. He went straight to the water pipe in the yard, turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of cold water, and splashed it on his face.
[Hahahaha, Mr. Gu, you don’t have any idol baggage at all? ]
[He washes his face like my dad, hahahaha, he doesn’t even need facial cleanser!]
[Rough guy x exquisite young master]
[The previous summary is really good, Shaha, Shaha]
When Jiang Nuo came out after washing her face, the program crew had already set up a big turntable.
The director said in a rhythmic voice, "Good morning, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu! You two worked hard yesterday! To reward you, our sponsor, Jiang's organic milk, a healthy and nutritious high-quality milk source, has provided a hearty breakfast for you! One cup a day of healthy and vital milk!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Nuo, "There's a ready-made breakfast? So good?"
Director: "Yes, ready! Let's thank our sponsors Jiang's Organic Milk and Summer Makeup for their support! Yohoo!"
Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo cooperated and clapped along.
【Isn’t that your company? Hey! 】
[I actually clapped along, hahahahahahaha, the two bosses are so cute! ]
President Jiang and President Gu: Let us applaud and thank ourselves.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu: Huh? We provided breakfast for ourselves, how come we didn't know about it?
[Hahahahahahahahahahaha I will die of laughter in the barrage sooner or later]
"But there are conditions for breakfast! Please use the bow and arrow in my hand to shoot at the turntable. Whatever you hit is the prize!" The director said, and the staff pulled away the cloth covering the big turntable.
There are several plates distributed in a fan shape on the turntable:
There is a very narrow and hard-to-find item: "five meat buns", "two fried dough sticks", "a serving of hand-pulled pancake", "two bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge", "three thousand-layer meat patties", "a sesame bun with pork elbow", "two farm-made eggs"...
There are also some very broad and easy-to-hit challenges, such as "face-to-face push-ups", "10 sets of deadlifts while carrying your lover on your back", "one-minute plank with weights (carrying an adult on your back)," "three-legged race within a specified time", and "kissing a balloon challenge".
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Is it this exciting so early in the morning? I love it!
【The program team has something! 】
[Hahahaha, Mr. Jiang’s expression seems to be saying: I’m not eating anymore]
The director said enthusiastically, "Well, let's get started now!"
The author has something to say:
There will also be 50 random red envelopes in the comment section today!
