The 9th melon
After the division, the two teams marched towards the fish pond in a mighty procession.
Walking on the mountain path in Qingchuan Village, Liu Ling'er turned back and glared at Liu Mingqian from time to time. Liu Mingqian knew that he was in the wrong, so he hid beside Chen Xianzhi and did not dare to look up.
Lin Cha walked at the end, observing the guests:
[Oh wow! Teacher Liu chose to hide behind Teacher Chen instead of anywhere else. What's written on the old Ford is true! These two really have a love-hate relationship that I didn't know existed!]
"Bang—"
Liu Mingqian stumbled and almost fell over a stone on the road, but fortunately Liu Ling'er was quick enough to catch him.
Chen Xianzhi wasn't feeling much better either. He was drinking water leisurely, but upon hearing this, he started coughing. Jiang Mingkai quickly stepped forward and patted his back to help him calm down.
The four of them exchanged glances, then looked back at Lin Cha, who looked innocent and harmless...
What kind of thing does this little girl usually look at on the Internet!
Lin Cha was completely unaware and continued to browse the melon-eating system, looking for matchmakers from all over the world.
At this moment, Zhou Zexu quietly took two steps back and moved closer to Lin Cha.
"Lin Cha," Zhou Zexu whispered, "I have a question... Is there a small group among your regular guests?"
"Small group?" Lin Cha was bewildered. "No, it's only the third day of filming, there's no group."
"Really?" Zhou Zexu obviously didn't believe it.
Lin Cha dug out his phone and simply opened the WeChat interface. "Look, there really isn't one. There is a large group for the production team, but it's not just the guests, the directors and staff are all there. Usually, it's the staff who send messages, we don't chat."
"That means you're not in that small group anymore," Zhou Zexu glanced around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he leaned closer to Lin Cha and whispered, "I just noticed that there must be a small group among you guests! I just saw Jiang Mingkai add Liu Ling'er and Teacher Pei to the group! But you and I don't seem to be in that group!"
"Huh?" Lin Cha's eyes widened in disbelief, his cheeks puffed up. "I'm already an adult, and this group of people is still trying to isolate me?"
"That's right..." Zhou Ze nodded vigorously, "They must be in the group, saying bad things about us behind our backs!"
Lin Cha curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
But since other people had small groups without her, she couldn't say anything. She could only chat with Zhou Zexu and thank him for reminding her.
Zhou Zexu was just curious and didn't delve into it.
After discussing with Lin Cha, he was about to return to his team when suddenly, Zhou Zexu saw a line of words appear above Lin Cha's head: [Favorability towards Zhou Zexu: 16]
Zhou Zexu:?
Then, another line of text appeared: [Jiang Mingkai has been removed from the "Eating Melon" friend list, and a new friend has arrived: Zhou Zexu]
Jiang Mingkai: ???
No, this thing can be kicked out?!
…
The group continued walking forward and soon arrived at the fishing area.
Fishing is a physically demanding job, requiring one guest to be responsible for catching fish, while the rest of the guests help herd the fish. In this situation, Lin Cha had no time to eat melons and could only join the fishing team.
An afternoon passed like this.
Because the Lincha team had more people, they naturally caught more fish.
After counting the fish caught by both teams, the production team clapped their hands and signaled, "Well... Team Lin Cha caught 24 fish, and Team Ling'er caught 8. According to the rules, the losing team can only eat steamed buns for dinner, but our production team has added a new rule. In the event of a tie, both teams will receive a final dinner gift package. Teacher Lin Cha, what do you think..."
The guests at the scene quickly understood what the director team meant.
A tie will get you a double dinner package, so everyone can enjoy delicious food. After all, this is a slow variety show, not a competitive variety show, and the production team doesn't want the guests to go hungry.
Lin Cha also understood what the program crew meant. Isn’t this just asking them to let off some steam?
It is indeed too miserable to let the guest star eat steamed buns.
How could Ling'er, such a cute little girl, chew on steamed buns? Girls should be raised in luxury! Eating steamed buns will starve our Ling'er!
Liu Ling'er on the side nodded repeatedly.
Liu Ling'er: Cha Cha is such a kind person! I'm so moved that I almost cry!
Finally, Lin Cha made up her mind. "Ling'er's group also has Teacher Pei and Zhou Zexu. They're flying guests after all, so we, the permanent guests, should give them some respect. In that case... let them watch us enjoy a sumptuous dinner!"
Liu Linger: ???
Flying guest: ???
[Hahahahahahaha]
[How could Lin Cha be so mean!]
[Sure enough! Lin Cha and Liu Ling'er's sworn enemies remain as strong as ever!]
Liu Ling'er still looks like she's going to share the fish with Lin Cha. How could that be possible? Seeing Liu Ling'er's frustrated expression, I'm dying of laughter!
[Lin Cha is going too far. It could have been a draw, so why did he treat the guest like this?]
[This is just a game, if you lose, that's what happens! Please don't try to blackmail me, okay?]
…
Liu Ling'er was also stunned, looking at Lin Cha in disbelief, "You don't..." like me? "How could you bear to watch me eat a steamed bun?"
Lin Cha looked bewildered, "Ah, why can't you bear it?"
The worse you are on the show, the more likely you are to take revenge on me! Abuse me! Suppress me! Tear me apart! Come on, Ling'er! Whether I can get out of the entertainment industry depends on you!
Liu Linger: ???
Why would I torture you and tear you apart? Isn't it true that this child won't grow after being read?
*
In the end, Chen Xianzhi acted as a peacemaker and gave eight fish to Liu Ling'er, and the two sides reached a draw.
Back at the leisure cabin, Lin Cha rested for a while and prepared to cook.
The program team's dinner package was very sumptuous, and with the help of other guests, Lin Cha's dinner today went particularly smoothly.
Standing aside, Liu Ling'er knew nothing and could only watch the guests cook.
Chen Xianzhi joked, "Looking at Ling'er like this, I know she's never been in the kitchen before. Is it Teacher Liu who cooks in your family?"
Liu Ling'er's mother passed away ten years ago, and Liu Mingqian only has him and his daughter at home.
Liu Ling'er secretly took a bite of the braised eggplant and licked her fingertips while complaining, "How can Old Liu cook? We always eat out."
"It's okay, I just need to find a husband who can cook in the future," Chen Xian knew, "Nowadays boys can all cook."
"I think so too!" Liu Ling'er secretly ate another mouthful of sweet and sour pork, looking very happy. "Cooking is of course a boy's job. I want to find a husband who can cook and take care of others, and he will take care of all the housework in the future!"
All the guests burst into laughter.
Liu Mingqian pretended to be angry and slapped Liu Ling'er on the back of the head. "You're only 18 years old, and you're already thinking about your husband and getting married? Let's talk about this after you graduate!"
Liu Ling'er curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "I've made money!"
"Even if you earn money, you're still a student! You haven't reached the legal age yet! Study hard and study hard!"
On the side, Lin Cha brought out a plate of stone pot fish and looked at the guests who were laughing and chatting, with a thoughtful look on his face.
[It seems that Teacher Liu doesn't know that Liu Ling'er has a boyfriend yet! Then he definitely doesn't know that Liu Ling'er's boyfriend is right here on our show!]
[Liu Ling'er came to the program specifically to have a secret relationship with her boyfriend. How exciting!]
Liu Mingqian: ???
All guests:!!!
The leisure cabin suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Cha was eating melon with a smile on his face when he suddenly felt something was wrong and looked up in confusion.
【Hey, why is it so quiet all of a sudden? 】
The guests in the cabin looked at each other, with a speculative look in their eyes.
Especially Liu Mingqian, he glared at all the male guests on the scene, his eyes were like a sword, almost stabbing all the male guests on the scene into hedgehogs.
His gaze finally fell on Lin Cha, causing her to shiver.
【Why is Teacher Liu looking at me? 】
[You're not interested in me, are you?]
Liu Mingqian: ???
Cough cough cough cough!
Who's attracted to you?!
Why be so narcissistic!
I'm waiting for you to tell me who my daughter's boyfriend is! Who tells half the story like you?
The remaining guests also looked at Lin Cha expectantly.
Who is Liu Ling'er's boyfriend at the scene? I'm so curious!
Lin Cha ignored all the expectant looks and leisurely drank a sip of the stone pot fish soup he had cooked himself.
The carp meat is tender and delicious, and the light yellow fish soup is full of aftertaste...
[Wow! This is so delicious! It's worthy of being my soup!]
Guests: “…”
You better speak up quickly!
Next, Lin Cha served the prepared delicacies one by one.
The sour and delicious sweet and sour pork, the spicy and fragrant mouth-watering chicken, the tender but not mushy steamed pork with rice flour, the spicy chopped pepper fish head... For a moment, a wide variety of delicacies were placed on the dining table in the courtyard, making people forget about eating melons for a while.
As the sun sets in the west, the guests feast on delicious food in the courtyard. After a tiring day, only delicious food can relieve their fatigue.
——But except Liu Mingqian.
Everything has lost its color in Liu Mingqian's eyes. The food no longer smells good, and the sunset is no longer beautiful. He just wants to find the "Liu Ling'er's boyfriend" that Lin Cha mentioned!
Liu Ling'er kept her head down from beginning to end, eating frantically, not daring to look at Liu Mingqian at all.
The other guests also lowered their heads, but mainly because the food Lin Cha cooked was so delicious that they had no time to look up.
Lin Cha chewed on the crispy sweet and sour pork while looking at the eerily quiet dining table:
[Hmm, why is everyone so quiet tonight? Did something happen while we were cooking that I'm not aware of?]
Guests: What do you think?
[Hehe, since everyone's so quiet, I don't need to force myself to cheer you on! Let me find a melon to eat! Eating without melon is half the fun, hehehe~]
Lin Cha lowered his head and opened the system again.
Everyone pricked up their ears and leaned towards Lin Cha.
Only Liu Ling'er was very worried that Lin Cha would reveal something new. She wolfed down the food in her mouth and was about to stop Lin Cha.
Her throat choked and a feeling of nausea surged into her heart, making Liu Ling'er unable to help but vomit.
Lin Cha looked up suddenly and saw Liu Ling'er covering her mouth, with Zhou Zexu beside her diligently handing her a tissue.
Lin Cha tilted his head in confusion: [Ah! Liu Ling'er is pregnant!]
All guests:!!!
"Haven't we only been together for two weeks? It's gone so fast!"
All guests: !!!!!!!!!!!!
Young people nowadays are really great!
Liu Mingqian has already rushed back to the leisure cabin,
——He went to get a knife.
When he rushed out carrying the forty-meter-long sword, he heard Lin Cha's voice again: "Oh, I was mistaken. It turns out that Liu Ling'er doesn't eat onions. She vomited physiologically as soon as she ate onions..."
Liu Mingqian: “…”
Guests: “…”
After dinner, the guests went to wash the dishes.
Because Lin Cha had cooked dinner, the guests were embarrassed to ask her to wash the dishes, so they let Lin Cha go and rest.
Everyone was busy, only Lin Cha had nothing to do, so he took out the melon-eating system again~
[I've only eaten half of Liu Ling'er's melon, and I still don't know who Liu Ling'er's boyfriend is! Let me take a closer look!]
Liu Linger:?
Liu Ling'er was so upset she couldn't even cry. Why did Lin Cha keep picking on her? Where were Chen Xianzhi's melons? Where were Zhou Zexu's melons? Don't just focus on hers!
At this moment, Jiang Mingkai discovered something and suddenly said, "By the way, where are Teacher Liu and Zhou Zexu?"
Everyone was stunned and looked around.
After dinner, everyone packed up their bowls and went back to the leisure hut, and they didn’t see these two people.
"Maybe they went to the bathroom!" Chen Xian knew, "I just saw them leave together."
Then, Chen Xianzhi jokingly whispered, "It's unlikely that Teacher Liu will try to figure out who Ling'er's boyfriend is, only to discover it's Zhou Zexu and then arrest him to accuse him, right?"
Liu Ling'er also smiled awkwardly.
Her father is a public figure after all, and this happened on a TV show! Liu Mingqian shouldn't do that, shouldn't do that!
[Hey, Teacher Chen is so smart, he can even guess this! ]
Beside him, Lin Cha's eyes sparkled. "Liu Mingqian is going to settle accounts with Zhou Zexu! Right now, Teacher Liu is holding his broadsword, about to chop Zhou Zexu down in the grove!"
