And so, Su Jiu exchanged the seafood they had left over for a 6.5 million yuan IOU, of course, it was only verbal.
"Remember to pay me back after we leave the show," Su Jiu said. "If you dare to dine and dash, I'll smash your heads in, no joke."
Wen Wan: ……
Liang Feng: ...
Huang Li: ...
Jung Joon-mi: Wow! Su-jie is so cool! Today is another day of admiring Su-jie!
[Haha, did you all see that? Jung Joon-mi's gaze towards Su Jiu is practically dripping with desire.]
【Jung Joon-mi, you're really something!】
[If you like her, just go for it! I bet Su Jiu doesn't have a boyfriend either!]
[Raising the banner of fine wine pairings! Let's see who dares to oppose us!]
[A couple can be niche, but it can't be weird! I don't see any chemistry between these two at all!]
After Liang Feng received the seafood, he first gave it to Wen Wan, giving her the biggest and best pieces, then keeping the rest for himself. Finally, he gave Huang Li the smallest, burnt pieces.
Huang Li looked at her own seafood, which was roasted until it was black and wrinkled, and then at Wen Wan's plump seafood. Her expression immediately turned displeased.
[Hahaha, Liang Feng, you should at least treat everyone fairly!]
[Liang Feng's differential treatment is too obvious! This is the difference between love and not love.]
"Thank you." Wen Wan sat down and ate the large crab with great satisfaction.
My goddess eats so elegantly, unlike someone else who eats so rudely.
[Exactly, Su is nowhere near as good as our goddess, they're worlds apart, okay?]
"You're welcome." Liang Feng was soothed by her gentle smile. Her bright smile was like a ray of light illuminating his world. For a moment, he was so stunned that he almost felt less hungry.
Wen Wan heard her system notification: [Liang Feng's favorability has reached 90%.]
90 percent, that sounds pretty good.
Once you've reached this level of progress, Liang Feng will basically give you whatever benefits and conveniences you desire.
But Liang Feng is just an insignificant NPC, a nobody.
The system notified: [Host, the male protagonist of this world will soon be arriving at the island; he is a special guest of the program.]
Wenwan: I searched high and low without finding it, but it came to me effortlessly.
Last time, I couldn't find the male lead abroad and couldn't save him. I never expected that he would appear on a variety show this time.
Wen Wan then realized something was amiss. "Isn't the male lead supposed to be incredibly busy? Why would he be on such a small variety show?"
The male protagonist in the book is a chosen one, the heir to a top global conglomerate. It's strange to think that such a big shot would appear on a small domestic variety show.
System: [I don't know about that. Anyway, seize the opportunity, win over the male lead, and complete the main quest.]
Wen Wan: [Okay.]
She is the leading lady of this world, a Mary Sue-like existence who is pampered and spoiled. Men would be smitten with her, and countless men would vie for her affections.
She was naturally aware of her attractiveness to men.
As for the male lead... well, he's just a man anyway.
With the system's cheat ability, she could easily win over the male lead by catering to his preferences.
Seeing the tender and affectionate way Wen Wan showed Liang Feng, Huang Li snorted inwardly. She munched on her burnt seafood with dissatisfaction and asked, "Teacher Liang, how are we going to pay for this seafood?"
“Then of course we’ll split the bill.” Liang Feng’s mind was full of Wen Wan, so he spoke without thinking. He turned to look at Wen Wan, his gaze gentle as water, “Of course, Wanwan, I’ll pay for your share, you don’t need to pay.”
"Isn't this inappropriate..." Wen Wan said, embarrassed.
"What's wrong with that? We're friends." Liang Feng smiled gently at her.
Wow! This couple is so cute!
Let me think of a name for our pairing... How about... Evening Breeze Pairing?
[The Evening Breeze couple is the sweetest!]
[Please, this is a survival adventure show, not a dating show! I'm speechless at your love-obsessed thinking.]
“No,” Huang Li, who was standing to the side, couldn’t stand it anymore, “Liang Feng, you’re being too hypocritical!”
"What's wrong with me? What's it to you if I treat Wanwan to seafood?" When Liang Feng turned to look at Huang Li, his attitude changed, and all the tenderness he had shown for Wen Wan vanished.
He's always been a straight man; he never pretends to like or dislike anything.
It was precisely because the Liang family was well-off that he could go home and inherit the family fortune if he couldn't make it in the entertainment industry. As a result, he was used to doing things his own way in the industry, with clear likes and dislikes, never hiding them, which offended many people.
But ironically, none of the people he offended could do anything about him.
After learning that Huang Li had cheated on him with several men, Liang Feng's attitude towards Huang Li changed drastically. He felt that Huang Li was filthy and could not compare to Wanwan's pure and clean nature.
"You're not upset because I treated Wanwan to a meal but not you, are you?" Liang Feng stared at her incredulously. "Let me tell you, you're lucky you even got to eat. I had to swallow my pride and beg Su Jiu to sell me seafood just now. Don't be ungrateful."
"What are you saying?" Huang Li felt embarrassed. Since Su Jiu had already exposed so much of her dirty laundry, and her reputation was probably ruined, there was no need to continue pretending to be a lady. "How come I never noticed you were such a jerk before? I only said that splitting the bill like this wasn't fair. Did I say you had to treat me to seafood? What kind of person do you think I am?"
"I just feel that you gave all the best seafood to Wen Wan, ate the rest yourself, and gave me the worst and most unpalatable seafood, so why should you demand that we split the bill?" Huang Li shouted indignantly.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, Su Jiu picked up a blade of grass from the ground, put it in her mouth, and walked over with great interest.
Wow, another juicy juicy story to tell!
When Zheng Junmei saw Su Jiu coming over, he followed her. The two stood side by side a short distance away, excitedly watching the melon.
[Actually, I think Huang Li is right. She got the worst portion, so why should she have to split the bill? Isn't that treating her like a shrew?]
[Yes, it's fine for Liang Feng to like Wen Wan, but he can't be so cruel to Huang Li. She got the worst share, so she should pay the least amount.]
Looking at it this way, Liang Feng really is a jerk! It's best to stay away from people like him!
Huang Li's character is questionable, but her words are not. I'm on Huang Li's side this time.
