But Shi Xuan said nothing.

Just then——

A clear bell sound was heard.

A snow-white long-haired cat ran out from the front yard of the small western-style building. While running, it was grabbing a furry ball toy with a small bell on it with its two paws. Its pair of beautiful gemstone-like eyes were staring at the furry ball. It chased the furry ball from its left hand to its right hand, looking very adorable. The cat was having a lot of fun playing with itself.

The director standing nearby nodded and called out, "Mr. Shi."

He saw Shi Xuan looking down at the cat, and said with a tactful smile: "This is the cat raised by the guest of the show. She brought it here when she was recording the show."

Shi Xuan said in a low voice: "I know."

The director was stunned.

Know? Know what? The director didn't react.

Suddenly, the ball of fur was pounced on by the cat and rolled to Shi Xuan's feet. The cat hurriedly wanted to run over to pick it up, but it keenly noticed Shi Xuan and others at the door, so it immediately stopped moving forward, and even took several steps back, staring at this side with a vigilant look on its face.

“…”

The director saw Shi Xuan bending down, reaching out to pick up the furry ball with a bell on it, and holding it in his palm.

The director had no time to be surprised.

Shi Xuan had already started walking towards the cat, and it seemed that he wanted to return the ball to the cat.

"Boss Shi!" The director hurriedly stopped him: "This cat has a bad temper and is not friendly--"

Mr. Luo standing by also became nervous.

However, without waiting for the director and Mr. Luo to say anything, the white cat had already rushed towards Shi Xuan, growling in warning, and its eyes began to become fierce.

Shi Xuan stopped.

The director breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained, "Boss Shi, this cat only stays close to its owner. It won't tolerate anyone else touching it. It's been here for a few days now, and even our staff can't get close to it. But it will scratch people."

As soon as the words fell.

The white cat saw something and suddenly became quiet. Then it bypassed Shi Xuan and jumped to the side.

A cat's meow.

Everyone looked up.

Shi Xuan, who was also looking over, had his deep pupils paused for a moment.

——Lai Lai raised her two front paws, rested them on Shi Yan's calves, tilted her head back, and meowed two or three times, as if urging him to do something.

Then, everyone saw that the white cat, which had been so alert and kept people at a distance just now, was picked up by Shi Yan. The cat skillfully found a comfortable position in his arms, and then stayed there obediently, with its beautiful fluffy tail sweeping lightly, in an extremely relaxed posture.

It is completely different from what it looked like just now.

Shi Yan's profile was cold, and his whole body was like the cold sunlight in winter. It seemed as if he didn't see the person standing at the door. His cold brows showed no emotion. He held the cat in one hand and turned away.

The director looked at this and said casually, "Oh, yes, except Sheng Yuan, only this guest can hold the cat. No one else can."

“…”

For some reason, the director felt that the air seemed to suddenly freeze.

An inexplicable feeling of oppressive air.

He had just felt extremely tired and hot, and now he subconsciously rubbed his arms.

“…”

"Brother Shixuan——?!" An unexpected male voice came from upstairs of the small Western-style building.

It was Xia Xicheng who was shouting from the window. He waved at Shi Xuan, turned around and quickly ran downstairs.

"Brother Shixuan, why are you here?"

The lingering emotions in Shi Xuan's eyes disappeared: "Come and take a look."

"Eh? Isn't Sister Gu Yun here?" Xia Xicheng leaned over and looked back.

Shi Xuan's eyes were deep, and he answered seriously: "I'm working, it's not convenient for her to come over."

Xia Xicheng was about to nod with an understanding look on his face, but his attention was suddenly drawn to Shi Xuan's hand——

"Brother Shixuan, what are you holding in your hand?"

"A ball of hair?" Xia Xicheng asked doubtfully.

"Huh? Why are they all squashed?"

“…”

Shi Xuan did not answer Xia Xicheng's question. He tightened his palm slightly, completely covering the fur ball in his palm, and said in a low voice: "I'll be busy first. If you have time, come to the single-family house to play. Zhao Cheng and the others are here too."

Xia Xicheng agreed immediately: "Okay!" - said before.

Meng Qiong came to the rescue, to save Zheng Baiqing.

In the kitchen of Group B restaurant.

"Very good." Meng Qiong praised Zheng Baiqing who was preparing the sauce.

The audience in the live broadcast room were puzzled.

——Zheng Baiqing suddenly left yesterday afternoon. Did she go to a tutoring class? How come when she came back, she suddenly became a "little cook" who knows everything?

"I'm sorry, everyone." Zheng Baiqing looked at the camera and gave an apologetic smile. "Yesterday, I wasn't in a good state, but it doesn't matter. I've adjusted myself now."

"Please give me another chance."

It is definitely useless to just talk, so Zheng Baiqing not only talked, but also did it with ease.

Half an hour passed and she didn't make any mistakes. She was able to produce the restaurant menu and prepare the dishes on the menu. She was completely a different person from the one who was busy in the kitchen yesterday at noon.

The audience in the live broadcast room directly thought that they were watching a fake live broadcast yesterday.

Zheng Baiqing glanced at the trend in the barrage area and smiled secretly, then looked at Meng Qiong who was standing next to her. After receiving the other party's affirmative look, she felt that this experience was basically over.

This senior really has something.

The restaurant menu was all made by her, and she also spent the whole night yesterday cramming for it, and she was able to get away with it a little.

Thinking of this, Zheng Baiqing straightened her back a lot.

She didn't notice that Meng Qiong was looking at her impatiently outside the camera. - Qun Jie, who was poached, was very happy working in the Group A restaurant.

Looking at the orders that were like an assembly line and his teammates who were smart and could lead the team, he felt a great sense of accomplishment. He had completely forgotten that this variety show required each group of guests to compete with each other.

All he wants now is to be a happy little chef and continue to be poached by Sheng Yuan.

Send off the last wave of guests.

The next step is for the guests to try the lunch menus of each group of restaurants and give their ratings.

Chef Wu Hui did not return in time for noon, so the program team planned to find five tourists to temporarily replace Wu Hui in scoring by internal voting among the five of them.

The scoring session was held in a small square of the resort.

The small square had already been decorated and was posted with various logos and signs of the "Lucky Restaurant" program team.

Various cameras were set up and in operation, and unexpectedly, many tourists came to watch from the audience.

The director held a microphone in his hand and randomly called up five tourists, both boys and girls.

It's random indeed.

I randomly selected the 'fan guests' of Group A's rough restaurant.
