Han Jin was eager to be in the same group as Mu Lingxi, so upon receiving the girl's signal, he spoke up.
He doesn't know yet that Mu Lingxi chose him because she remembered his previous cooking skills.
Han Jin thought that it was because of his good performance that he had impressed the girl and that she had chosen him.
"Xi'er, what do you think?"
Han Jin knew that things should be done sooner rather than later; if he didn't seize the initiative, the variables would become even greater.
Mu Lingxi was surprised that Han Jin was so understanding. She had only started a conversation, but he had already picked up the conversation and understood her thoughts.
"sure."
Mu Lingxi's voice was filled with joy, and it was clear that she was really satisfied with the result, as if she couldn't wait to agree.
Han Jin smiled and nodded, and finally made the decision.
“Yes, neither of us has any objections, so we'll be a team.”
Hearing this, the others were not happy. Why should Han Jin decide on the matter so easily? Did he ask for other people's opinions?
The other guests exchanged glances, indicating their disagreement, but since they didn't harbor any deep hatred, they didn't act like troublemakers.
However, two of them were quite different. Seeing their beloved about to be snatched away by their rivals, they couldn't sit still any longer and didn't care about anything else.
That's right, the two people are Bo Changling and Yi Changfeng, while Qin Che didn't make any moves.
Bo Changling was particularly dissatisfied. He was not happy that Xi'er and Han Jin were in the same group. The two of them interacted more in the kitchen, so he wanted to be in the same group as Xi'er.
"No, we have different opinions. I want to be in a group with Mu Lingxi. I can cook too."
Hearing Bo Changling say that he could cook, Mu Lingxi's eyes twitched. She felt nauseous thinking about the messy, mushy food from her previous life.
"You're lying! You can't even cook, and you're still trying to fool me?"
Mu Lingxi, as expected, couldn't keep a secret, and such strange words came out of her mouth.
Logically speaking, since the two met for the first time, how could they possibly know if the other person can cook? They would only know if they could cook by trying!
Therefore, Mu Lingxi's words seemed too abrupt, as if she disliked Bo Changling and was deliberately making excuses to avoid him.
Upon seeing this, Bo Changling realized he had indeed misunderstood.
He was already anxious because he couldn't win Mu Lingxi's favor, and now that he was being ostracized, he was even more anxious.
Ignoring everything else, Bo Changling immediately walked up to Mu Lingxi, grabbed her hand, and led her to the kitchen.
"Xi'er, didn't you doubt my cooking skills? Well, I'll make you a simple spicy stir-fried rice cake to prove it. If you think it tastes good, then you can team up with me."
His actions were unexpected by everyone; after all, who would suddenly decide to challenge someone to a cooking competition?
The director originally intended to send a text message to let the guests draw lots to determine their groups, but when he looked up, he saw this scene on the screen.
The man's exceptionally handsome and cold face was framed by a pair of icy eyes fixed on Mu Lingxi, as if he were interrogating an enemy.
However, Bo Changling was actually nervous inside, and he inadvertently became fierce and menacing.
Moreover, the hands that Bo Changling was holding Mu Lingxi were boneless, smooth and delicate, like the finest mutton fat jade, and his heart suddenly began to beat rapidly.
Logically, he should have let go of Mu Lingxi's hand at this moment, but he just couldn't bear to.
Bo Changling even thought to himself, "So this is what Xi'er's hands are like. They're so soft, they make my heart melt too."
He even let his thoughts wander, thinking that if a girl's hands were this soft, then her whole body must be this soft, right?
Bo Changling's mind was clearly no longer on cooking; it was all on Mu Lingxi.
However, the others clearly didn't see it and thought that Bo Changling was putting pressure on Mu Lingxi by looking at her like that.
this……
The backstage staff exchanged bewildered glances. Was this really a cooking competition? This was so awkward!
The director, however, thought this was a good idea, much more interesting than drawing lots or anything like that.
Moreover, the Bo Group is one of the main investors in the program, so whatever their big spender says goes.
When viewers saw Bo Changling holding Mu Lingxi's hand and the two confronting each other in the kitchen, they all felt that Bo Changling was really fierce.
"No, I just mean, why is the male lead so fierce towards the female lead? Can't he speak a little more gently?"
"Indeed, it looks like they're arguing or treating each other like enemies. Watching this guy pursue his wife, the outcome is uncertain."
"Haha, I thought Bo Changling had some brilliant ideas, but it turns out he's going to cook first and let the female lead choose!"
"He'd be better off dead. The male lead is really not suited to have a wife or a girlfriend."
The audience was not optimistic about Bo Changling's actions. After all, they had only just started forming a team and hadn't even come up with a plan yet, and he had rushed over with his people in such a hurry.
The other guests were also dumbfounded by this scene. What was Bo Changling doing? They still hadn't made a decision yet!
There was nothing else they could do but follow Bo Changling and the others into the kitchen, wanting to see what Bo Changling was up to.
Han Jin was confident of winning and hadn't even had a chance to celebrate when Bo Changling suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing Bo Changling's posture and the aggressive aura emanating from the man, his heart sank, and the smile on his face vanished.
"Lingxi is willing to be in my group, Mr. Bo, you don't seem to have the right to question that, do you?"
He parted his lips slightly and approached the two of them step by step. When he reached Mu Lingxi's side, he grabbed her hand, which was being tightly held by Bo Changling.
"Lingxi, does it hurt?"
Han Jin asked in a soft, gentle voice, a completely different tone from when she spoke to Bo Changling just now.
this……
Han Jin is so kind to me, yet so mean to Bo Changling. The difference in their attitudes is just too stark!
and……
Mu Lingxi stared blankly at Han Jin's exceptionally handsome and refined face as he approached her, and nodded in a daze.
When she came to her senses, she realized she had been staring at Han Jin in a daze, and a blush crept across her face as she avoided his gaze.
"Mr. Bo, you're pinching Lingxi too hard."
Han Jin misunderstood, thinking that the girl was afraid of being blamed by Bo Changling, so he chose to confront Bo Changling.
The two equally tall men locked eyes, their gazes filled with hostility, neither willing to yield an inch.
Was Bo Changling afraid of hurting Mu Lingxi, or did he choose to let go on his own?
However, after what had just happened, Bo Changling's face became even more gloomy.
