Mingqian's attitude was really strange. Haolin became wary and secretly planned to investigate Mingqian's past thoroughly.
After the concert tour ended, Rong Yu threw herself into filming "Blood Mist".
Yin Chengjue also had company matters to attend to, so he couldn't visit the set often. He could only stay at the company under the pretext of working overtime. Sometimes he could wait until Rong Yu finished filming and returned to the company dormitory, and the two of them would have a meal together during that time.
At first, they ate out, but later Yin Chengjue found it troublesome to walk around, so he simply bought ingredients and cooked in Rong Yu's dormitory.
Rong Yu is now considered one of the company's key talents for development, and his development prospects are predicted to be very good. Therefore, the company has arranged a separate dormitory for him, with a bedroom, a living room, a toilet, and a kitchen, which is a simple standard configuration.
Yin Chengjue had considered bringing Rong Yu home to live, but that would be too conspicuous, as if he was afraid the paparazzi wouldn't be quick enough to detect it.
Once photographed, Rong Yu will definitely be affected. Being photographed in the company dormitory can be explained as a leader's inspection, which is easy to explain. As for whether other people in the company will see it... This is why Yin Chengjue has been trying to remove the thorns in the company since he arrived. The people who are still in the company now are all somewhat perceptive and know what they should know and what they should pretend not to know.
If you want to criticize your boss, you should also consider your own resources.
Huansheng Entertainment has recently taken on many big IP projects, and most of them are controlled by Yin Chengjue and Shang Liu. Savvy artists should know how to keep their mouths shut.
That day, just as Yin Chengjue finished preparing dinner, Rong Yu returned home. As soon as she entered, she threw her backpack onto the sofa and followed the aroma into the kitchen.
"Brother~ What delicious food are we having today?" Rong Yu looked longingly at the bubbling hot casserole.
"I've made a pot of black chicken soup," Yin Chengjue said as he turned off the stove and opened the lid. A sweet aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen.
Rong Yu suddenly felt that her nose wasn't enough.
Yin Chengjue scooped out the black-boned chicken meat and placed it in a washed plate. He then poured the fragrant and mellow soup into a porcelain soup bowl and gestured for Rong Yu to take it out.
Rong Yu picked up the soup bowl, her eyes lingering on the meat on the plate: "Just drink the soup, not eat the meat?"
"Let's stir-fry the black-boned chicken. Don't you like spicy food? I'll stir-fry some chili sauce in it for you." Yin Chengjue said as he poured some oil into the pot, then poured the stewed black-boned chicken into the wok, stir-fried it a couple of times, and added chili sauce.
With the addition of spiciness, the aroma became even more enticing, but the process was a bit pungent, so Rong Yu quickly covered her nose to avoid sneezing.
"Brother, let me help you!" Rong Yu carried out the dishes he had prepared one by one. Not wanting to wander around aimlessly, he volunteered to be assigned tasks.
Yin Chengjue's expression changed. He recalled that a few days ago, he had made a mistake by allowing Rong Yu to help in the kitchen, which led to a small-scale fire...
Yin Chengjue's gaze inadvertently swept over a section of the newly renovated wall, and he immediately said, "No need. You just got back, go wash your face and hands first. I can take care of it myself in no time."
Rong Yu: "Then I'll go wash the dishes!"
Yin Chengjue: "Let's leave this kind of small thing to the dishwasher. It's a mature dishwasher, and it can do it."
Rong Yu: "Then I'll go get the rice!"
Yin Chengjue: "...Go ahead." Serving rice shouldn't be that complicated...
Before Yin Chengjue could finish his thought, a strange sound echoed throughout the kitchen.
Yin Chengjue turned around at the sound and saw Rong Yu holding a bowl in one hand and the lid of the rice cooker in the other, looking at Yin Chengjue with an innocent expression.
If the lid of the rice cooker wasn't originally attached to the pot, then there wouldn't be much of a problem with this scene.
Rong Yu blinked: "I didn't expect it to be so fragile. I really just wanted to lift it up."
Yin Chengjue pointed to the small button on the rice cooker: "You just need to press that button lightly, and the rice cooker lid will pop up automatically. You don't need to use brute force to open the lid."
"Oh, I see!" Rong Yu suddenly realized.
Yin Chengjue truly never expected that Rong Yu would be such a kitchen killer.
Moreover, its destructive power is surprisingly strong.
So how did he survive all these years? Don't poor families need to go into the kitchen? Or was it because Rong Yu was so powerful that his family didn't have enough money to build him a kitchen every day, so they completely deprived him of any possibility of entering the kitchen, causing him to drift further and further away from the kitchen until he was completely cut off from the possibility of entering it?
Yin Chengjue's mind raced, but he only said one thing: "Go wash your face and hands first, sit on the sofa, and turn on the TV."
Rong Yu, still holding the empty bowl, asked, "Where's the rice?"
Yin Chengjue: "I'll serve it."
Rong Yu: "Then this pot..."
Yin Chengjue: "I'll have someone buy another one tomorrow."
Realizing he had done something wrong again, Rong Yu turned and walked towards the living room, his back view revealing a hint of desolation. He muttered to himself, "I really want to cook...food...rice...with my brother in the kitchen."
Seeing him like this, Yin Chengjue felt a little sorry for him: "Don't you ever do these things at home?"
Rong Yu rolled her eyes and carefully said, "It's not that I've never done it before... it's just that I usually get kicked out of the kitchen after only a short time."
Just as I expected!
His guess was confirmed, and while feeling that he was truly prescient, Yin Chengjue also comforted Rong Yu: "It's okay, no one is perfect. Just wash your hands and wait to eat from now on."
“You said exactly the same thing as my older brothers…” Rong Yu sighed, “Actually, it’s not my fault. Those pots and pans are just too fragile. They break as soon as I touch them. And the fire, it just leaps up and I can’t control it. The wok is the same. It breaks as soon as I squeeze it. I was a little slow and didn’t put in any oil, and the bottom of the wok burned through. The quality is not good at all.”
Yin Chengjue: "..." I can already imagine how many times your kitchen has been renovated over the years.
Yin Chengjue rubbed Rong Yu's drooping head: "Hmm, it's not your fault, it's just that these things are of poor quality."
Rong Yu felt comfortable after being stroked, and then happily went to sit down and wait.
Yin Chengjue prepared four dishes and a soup today, and each plate was filled to the brim.
Seeing Rong Yu stuff her cheeks full like a little hamster, Yin Chengjue couldn't resist and poked Rong Yu's cheek with his chopsticks.
Yin Chengjue rested his chin on his hand and smiled at him: "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you."
Rong Yu swallowed what was in her mouth, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't mean to. My dad taught us from a young age that food on the table is only delicious if you fight for it, and you have to finish every dish on the table. You can't waste food, or you'll be punished."
Yin Chengjue: "..." What kind of inhumane education is this?!
Does it follow the law of the jungle?
Yin Chengjue placed a piece of meat on Rong Yu's plate and said, "If you go to a banquet, you should try to restrain yourself a bit, otherwise you'll most likely end up trending on social media, and your 'foodie' persona will easily crumble. I don't recommend it."
"Mmm! I know my limits! It's just that the food you cooked today was so delicious!" Rong Yu put a chicken leg into Yin Chengjue's bowl. "Brother, don't just look at me, you should eat too!"
"I'm not very hungry, but you must be tired after filming all day on set." Yin Chengjue said he wasn't hungry, but he didn't refuse Rong Yu's offer to feed him.
"Today was alright. We weren't shooting on location; it was filmed in a studio. All I had to do was memorize my lines and act them out well. There weren't many scenes with my co-stars either. I was basically doing all the reasoning by myself... Wu Xiaoqing is such a chatterbox."
Indeed, if you were to draw out all the lines from the script that belong to Wu Xiaoqing, they would make up almost 50%, and another 30% would be spoken by Wu Xiaoye.
In other words, Rong Yu, who plays two roles, has 80% of the lines in the entire series.
“Wu Xiaoye has quite a few lines too,” Yin Chengjue said.
“That’s different. Most of Wu Xiaoqing’s lines are deductions, but Wu Xiaoye’s lines…” Rong Yu smiled and said, “Fifty percent of Wu Xiaoye’s lines are calling him ‘brother’.”
Rong Yu started counting on her fingers: "For example, brother~ I'm hungry~ brother~ when we were fighting just now, they actually ripped off my fingernails, it hurts so much~ brother, let me blow on them~ brother~ let's take a bath together~ brother~ let's go to sleep together~ brother~ goodnight! brother~ good morning! brother~ I like you, give me a kiss~"
Yin Chengjue: "..." No, you're just reciting your lines, why are you staring at me like that? And in such a cheesy tone?
Rong Yu counted on her fingers, her eyes fixed on Yin Chengjue. After solemnly listing Wu Xiaoye's lines, she rested her chin on her hands and asked Yin Chengjue earnestly, "Tell me, why does Wu Xiaoye like to call Wu Xiaoqing 'brother' so much?"
Yin Chengjue: "...Probably because Wu Xiaoye was a chicken in his past life?"
Yin Chengjue tried his best to remain calm and said, "Because he kept giggling."
"Pfft!" Seeing Rong Yu's twitching expression, Yin Chengjue finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Rong Yu instantly realized she had been tricked and angrily exclaimed, "Brother!!"
Yin Chengjue: "Hey! Here I am!"
Rong Yu: "You're actually implying I'm a prostitute!"
Yin Chengjue: "I'm innocent! I didn't say that!"
Rong Yu: "That's not what you mean by that smile! Look at that peck!"
As Rong Yu spoke, she mimed pecking at rice with her hands and pounced on Yin Chengjue!
Yin Chengjue grabbed Rong Yu's wrist, twisted it behind his back, and slammed him onto the table.
