Zhou Xun rushed out of the hotel kitchen and almost burst into tears when he saw that they had finally returned. "Actor Ning, you're finally back!"
What kind of karma did he create? Why did he have to go on this dating reality show?
His manager initially put him on the dating reality show to boost his fame, but nothing good has happened since he became associated with Ji Xinxin.
The story begins when they went to the market to buy groceries. The three of them were at a loss when they arrived at the market because neither he nor Huo Jincheng knew how to buy groceries. So Ji Xinxin volunteered to take them shopping.
Ji Xinxin insisted that hairy crabs were cheap this season, so she bought a big bag of them. Just buying these almost used up the budget given by the production team. The remaining money was only enough for them to buy some eggs and vegetables, which was barely enough for seven people.
That wasn't all; after buying the food, they discovered that none of the three of them knew how to cook. Director Yang said the production team wouldn't provide any assistance, so they had to borrow a staff member's phone to search for recipes and follow the instructions.
As a result, no one knows how Ji Xinxin and Huo Jincheng got things going, but the kitchen almost caught fire, crabs were crawling all over the floor, and the two of them were covered in soot. In the end, he was the one who cooked a plate of blackened tomato and egg stir-fry.
Putting aside the taste, such a small dish isn't enough for seven people!
Over there, Yu Chaoxi and his second uncle saw Huo Jincheng in such a disheveled state and couldn't help but say to Ji Xinxin with a slightly reproachful tone, "I remember you can cook, right? You used to personally prepare lunch boxes for me. How come you're acting like you've never cooked before?"
Ji Xinxin looked embarrassed. Of course, she didn't know how to cook. Those bento boxes were all ordered from takeout and repackaged in different boxes to pretend that she had made them herself.
But if she admits it now, wouldn't that be admitting that she had been lying to him before? Ji Xinxin would never admit it.
Her gaze shifted to Yu Chaoxi, and she frowned, disapprovingly saying, "Chaoxi, you all had a great time at sea, leaving the three of us who can't cook here scrambling to make ends meet. You didn't even bother to come back and help out earlier."
She originally only wanted to target Yu Chaoxi, but she didn't expect that her words would offend the four people present.
After all, the four of them came back together.
Ning Zhiheng and Guan Jingxue both looked rather unwell.
Guan Jingxue retorted without hesitation, "Isn't preparing dinner your task today? Why blame others when you haven't done your own job well?"
"That's not what I meant." Ji Xinxin waved her hands repeatedly, looking like she had been misunderstood. "I heard Jincheng say that Chaoxi used to prepare dinner for her parents and younger brother every day at home. I thought she must be a good cook, and we would have an easier time with her around."
"But I was too anxious. I went out to play with my partner this afternoon, how could I have thought to rush back to help? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that just now."
She apologized verbally, but that wasn't what she really meant.
She practically pointed out that Yu Chaoxi's family background was inferior by just three words.
All afternoon, Huo Jincheng was absent-minded. Ji Xinxin stayed by his side the whole time, trying all sorts of ways to interact with him, but he ignored her completely.
Thinking back to the morning's match, Ji Xinxin quickly realized why Huo Jincheng was acting this way. It was because he saw Yu Chaoxi interacting sweetly with someone else, which reminded Huo Jincheng of Yu Chaoxi's good qualities and made him unable to forget her.
So as soon as Yu Chaoxi came back, Ji Xinxin targeted her in various ways, trying to put Yu Chaoxi down.
She is now reminding Huo Jincheng and the viewers in the live stream that Yu Chaoxi comes from a poor family and is completely mismatched with Huo Jincheng.
As soon as Huo Jincheng broke up with her, she turned around and went on a sea trip with an ordinary person. Such a fickle woman was not worth Huo Jincheng's affections.
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Jincheng tugged at her clothes, signaling her to stop talking.
Yu Chaoxi is now his second uncle's girlfriend, and his second uncle is still alive!
Ji Xinxin pulled her clothes back unhappily and glared at Huo Jincheng.
Ji Xinxin didn't have a mobile phone to access the internet, and she left for the market early after the game ended, so she didn't know Huo Linyuan's identity. If she had known, she wouldn't have dared to provoke him so openly.
She only knew that Huo Jincheng had an uncle, and like most netizens, she thought that since he was an uncle, he must be at least in his forties or fifties. She never thought that Huo Linyuan and Huo Jincheng were related.
At this moment, Yu Chaoxi slowly reviewed the detailed information about Ji Xinxin that the system had found for her in her mind.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered some things that were previously unknown.
She asked curiously, "I remember your family background is similar to mine. Before we debuted, we were both from ordinary families with little money. How come I'm the only one who can cook, but you can't? Why did you have to wait for me to come back?"
"By the way, as far as I know, you were almost officially dating Huo Jincheng before you went abroad. How did you suddenly have the money to study abroad?"
If Yu Chaoxi hadn't mentioned it, Huo Jincheng would have almost forgotten about it.
When he was a student, Huo Linyuan restricted his spending. His monthly allowance was only three to five thousand yuan. Xin Xin's family was very poor. At that time, he thought that Ji Xin Xin was a girl who was not vain or materialistic. He believed that being with her was true love, not for money.
But just as he was about to confess his feelings, Ji Xinxin suddenly told him that she was going abroad to study. Before he could ask her what was going on, she disappeared from his life.
Yu Chaoxi's words also reminded him that Ji Xinxin spends his living expenses every month at school, so where would he get the money to study abroad?
