"Absolutely! The female lead is so cute! She wants something to eat, give her some, and stop talking!"
"I knew it! Mu Lingxi definitely swallowed hard. I definitely didn't see wrong!"
"Haha, the male lead and the second male lead's eyes swept over, but the female lead was still staring straight at the dishes in front of her, not noticing anything."
Indeed, Mu Lingxi was already quite eye-catching; even if she did nothing, just standing there was enough to make people unable to look away.
Especially her stunningly beautiful face and the sparkle in her eyes, which made her look radiant and captivating, drawing everyone's attention.
Bo Changling had just placed the last bowl of soup on the table when he saw Mu Lingxi's drooling eyes; she looked at the other dishes and was practically drooling.
Although he didn't say it aloud, he was secretly pleased. After all, it was his own cooking that made Xi'er like it so much, so of course he was happy.
"Why isn't everyone eating yet? You're all starving. What are you waiting for? Let's dig in!"
Bo Changling arrived late, so when choosing seats, they only reserved a main seat for him, the furthest away from Mu Lingxi who was sitting next to him.
However, he didn't care about these things. Now he just wanted Mu Lingxi to taste the dishes he made and see if they suited her taste.
"The chef hasn't taken his seat yet, so let's wait for him. Now that everyone's here, let's clink glasses and start eating."
Han Jin arrived early and deliberately chose a spot next to Mu Lingxi, so he could clearly see the girl's expression.
He didn't want to exchange too many pleasantries, because he could tell that Mu Lingxi was really hungry, so he suggested that they clink glasses before starting to eat.
When Mu Lingxi heard what the two were saying, she thought there would be a long speech, but it turned out that there was nothing superfluous.
It was as if a radar had detected something; her ears went off with a loud alarm, and her eyes lit up, sparkling and very beautiful.
"Okay, cheers!"
As Mu Lingxi spoke, she picked up the juice in her hand, held it high, and clinked it against the other people's glasses.
Her delighted little face was so endearing that even Song Bao'er and Bai Mengmeng, who had some reservations about her, couldn't bring themselves to say anything sarcastic.
After clinking glasses, Mu Lingxi waited for someone to take the first bite before eagerly picking up the second and third pieces, filling her small bowl to the brim.
Then, like a little hamster, she happily ate her food from her little bowl.
It was clear that she was completely focused on the meal and ignored everyone else at the table.
However, Mu Lingxi's silence doesn't mean that others don't want to talk either, especially people like Bai Mengmeng and Song Bao'er who don't eat much to maintain their figures.
They weren't really hungry, and they had small appetites; they were full after just a couple of bites.
Song Bao'er still wanted everyone to praise her cooking skills, after all, she had studied with a professional chef, and her family all said it was delicious.
She's confident in her cooking skills, so now she's just hoping someone will praise her culinary abilities.
"What do you think of these vegetarian dishes? I usually eat a light diet, so I can only cook vegetarian dishes."
After she finished speaking, everyone quickly gave her some face and picked up a few pieces of stir-fried mushrooms and stir-fried vegetables.
However, everyone can eat whatever they want, and even if it's not good, it's not terrible.
However, these dishes were really bland and tasteless, almost like they were boiled in water.
Fortunately, it was a TV show recording, so they had no choice but to force themselves to swallow it down despite how unpalatable it was.
After finishing the meal, I was afraid I would throw up, so I picked up a few spicy dishes stir-fried by Bo Changling to suppress the fishy smell.
"Well enough."
Han Jin, as expected of an old fox, still knows how to pretend. He smiled faintly and nodded, giving a fairly objective three-word evaluation.
"Um."
Yi Changfeng wasn't good at pretending. He almost threw up after taking the first bite. His face was bitter, and he managed to say a "hmm" as a gesture of support for Song Bao'er.
Bo Changling simply didn't give any evaluation. He only ate one bite of mushroom and didn't take a second bite.
Even though everyone was waiting for his evaluation, he didn't seem embarrassed at all and simply nodded.
When Bai Mengmeng saw how unpalatable it was, and that no one was giving her any feedback, she was so scared that she didn't touch a single bite.
"I'm on a diet recently and I don't eat dinner. I just ate two bites and I'm already full."
Gao Yue was straightforward and didn't mince words, but she remained silent, clearly wanting to offer her congratulations but unable to say anything about how delicious it was.
"Well enough."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Qin Che forced himself to eat a few more bites of food and gave the same evaluation as Han Jin.
He genuinely hadn't expected that Song Bao'er's claim of being able to cook meant simply boiling these dishes and then mixing them in a pot?
Qin Che had never eaten anything so bad in his life, and it was really difficult for him to have to cover for Song Bao'er.
This feeling of having no way to express my suffering is truly unbearable.
The audience's anticipation was off the charts when they saw this scene; no one had expected that Song Bao'er really couldn't cook!
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! I thought this woman could cook. She was always ordering this person around and that person around."
"Is Song Bao'er's cooking really that bad? Maybe the mushrooms weren't cooked very well, but tomato and egg is something you can't go wrong with no matter how you cook it."
"Haha, who knows? Maybe she's a rich girl who hasn't cooked much growing up and thinks that just because she can cook something, she can cook!"
"Look, the female lead is about to try those dishes. Let's see her reaction. She shouldn't be lying, right?"
The audience held their breath, eager to see what would happen, as Mu Lingxi reached for the stir-fried mushrooms with her chopsticks.
Closer, closer, her little hands were very close.
"Xi'er, which dish would you like to eat? I'll get it for you. Don't you dislike bland food? Try these spicy dishes I made."
As Mu Lingxi's chopsticks drew ever closer to the unpalatable vegetarian dishes, Bo Changling suddenly stood up from his seat.
He rarely learned to be indirect, subtly reminding Mu Lingxi to stop eating the vegetarian dishes and eat more of his cooking.
Mu Lingxi's outstretched chopsticks deftly turned and picked up the spare ribs on the side, as well as several other dishes that were further away and out of her reach.
"Then—could you pick out some beef and chicken from your side for me? I can't reach them."
That soft, sweet voice was like a clear spring, sweetening everyone's heart.
