The third melon
After the three of them talked it over, they came to the conclusion: Generally speaking, Lin Cha didn't have a high level of favorability towards any of the three.
Chen Xianzhi and Liu Mingqian didn't care about it. It was the first time they worked with Lin Cha and they were just colleagues, so the score was normal. What bothered them more was Lin Cha's inner complaints about his "bald head" and "weight gain".
Jiang Mingkai, on the other hand, was extremely angry.
Lin Cha was all smiles and laughter on the surface, yet secretly he was riding on her popularity. How could her favorability towards him be so low? Was she just using him as a tool to suck her blood?
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingkai became even more unhappy.
On the other side, Lin Cha was completely unaware of this and prepared four dishes and a soup, which he brought to the dining table in the leisure courtyard.
"Teacher Liu! Teacher Chen! Brother Kai! Dinner is ready!" Lin Cha's deer eyes were smiling, like a crescent moon in the dark night.
Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi were exhausted after working for an entire afternoon. When they saw the dazzling array of delicious food, their eyes widened and their stomachs growled with hunger.
Only Jiang Mingkai still cared about Lin Cha's favorability. Seeing the table full of delicious food, he deliberately said sarcastically, "Lin Cha, we're all in the same industry, we need to stay in shape, so why are you only making high-calorie food? Look at this boiled pork slices, it's all red oil! And this fish soup, it's full of purines! How do you expect us to eat it?"
Fans in the live broadcast room immediately echoed:
[Kaikai is right. The people participating in the show are all celebrities. Why make such high-calorie food? In the end, if they can't eat it, they have to throw it away. What a waste!]
[Tea Bitch just loves to show off, deliberately trying to establish a "good cook" persona! But I feel like I'm just a show-off. These dishes probably only look good, but they're definitely super unpalatable!]
[Lin Cha doesn't look like someone who can cook, so it's normal that the food tastes bad.]
…
"I know someone wants to lose weight!"
Lin Cha looked at Jiang Mingkai and said with a smile. She casually pushed the seasonal vegetable salad she had just brought in front of Jiang Mingkai, "Look, I also prepared a salad just for people who want to lose weight! If you want to lose weight, you can eat this!"
Facing a bowl of vegetable (crossed out) grass.
Jiang Mingkai's expression froze.
Lin Cha actually had a trick up his sleeve!
Jiang Mingkai could actually smell the aroma of the boiled pork slices, and his stomach was rumbling. But to maintain his image as a dedicated fitness professional and a bad match for Lin Cha, he could only hold on to his vegetable salad.
Humph, how delicious can Lin Cha's cooking be? As soon as Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi took one bite, they'd regret the high calorie count. They might as well have just had a salad with him!
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingkai hugged his vegetable leaves tightly again and took a few bites unhappily.
Soon, Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi exclaimed:
"Wow! Lin Cha, you made all of these! They're so delicious!"
"Lin Cha, have you ever learned to cook? How can you cook so deliciously?"
Chen Xianzhi took a sip of the fish soup, his face revealing a look of enjoyment. He then sampled the other dishes. The boiled pork slices were tender and cilantro-scented, leaving a lasting aftertaste. The garlic-flavored spareribs were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a firm, chewy texture. Even the homely scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sour and sweet, with the scrambled eggs smooth and delicious, made him want to take another big bite!
Chen Xianzhi is a host and needs to maintain his figure, so he eats in moderation. Liu Mingqian, who is next to him and has switched from actor to director, doesn't care much about his figure anymore and has already gulped down a large bowl of food!
"It's so delicious!" Liu Mingqian was at a loss for words and could only think of this compliment.
Originally, Liu Mingqian had no expectations for the guests' cooking skills. He just wanted them to make some edible home-cooked dishes. The essence of the show was to attract fans and make money.
But after tasting the food made by Lin Cha, Liu Mingqian suddenly felt that coming back from work every day and eating such delicious meals was what a leisurely life was all about!
Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi devoured the food in no time, their stomachs full. Holding a bowl of fish soup, they looked so happy.
[Looking at how relaxed Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi are, I think Lin’s tea is delicious!]
[I think so too! I originally wanted to watch the guests do farm work, but after watching them eat, I rushed to order takeout! But I don’t think it will be as good as theirs! Ugh…]
[Chen Xianzhi used to host a food show. I remember him being very picky, but I didn't expect him to enjoy his food so much. I think the dishes Lin Cha makes are so delicious! I almost want to crawl into the screen and try a bite!]
…
At the show, Jiang Mingkai, the only one holding a salad and chewing on the leaves, was extremely greedy.
To maintain his figure, Jiang Mingkai eats salad year-round. This bland grass and protein are just nutrients to keep him alive.
But Jiang Mingkai just tasted the salad made by Lin Cha... It was obviously just ordinary vegetable leaves, why did Lin Cha make it so delicious?
If the leaves can be made so delicious, how much more delicious will the stir-fried dishes be!
Jiang Mingkai's mouth was watering.
Chen Xianzhi sat next to Jiang Mingkai, and seeing that Jiang Mingkai was as greedy as a dog, he quietly picked up a piece of boiled pork for him.
The tender slices of meat are covered with a light red oil and paired with bean sprouts, but it does not feel greasy at all. It melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.
Delicious! So delicious!
For Jiang Mingkai, who has been eating grass all year round, ordinary boiled pork slices are already lethal, let alone boiled pork slices that are so delicious?
At that moment, appetite overcame everything.
What's with the fact that you can't ride on the popularity and your favorability is low? Go to hell!
"It smells so good! Another bowl please!"
"Teacher Liu, please eat slowly! I haven't even finished a few pieces of the boiled pork slices yet!"
"Teacher Chen! Don't drink the fish soup! You've already finished it!"
Twenty minutes later, Liu Mingqian, Chen Xianzhi and Jiang Mingkai sat neatly in a row, touching their bulging bellies.
[? ? ? ]
[Hi, Jiang Mingkai, you gotta slap me in the face so quickly? Ten minutes ago: I only chew grass! Ten minutes later: Emma, that smells so good!]
[Hahahaha, this shows that Lin Cha’s cooking is really delicious! The fragrance may be late, but it will never be absent!]
"Brother Kai, you've already finished most of the boiled pork slices and fish soup, and there's still red oil on your lips! Does your face hurt?"
…
It hurts, getting slapped in the face really hurts.
Jiang Mingkai felt a little embarrassed to look at Lin Cha.
Lin Cha had forgotten that Jiang Mingkai didn't eat grass. She looked at the bare plates after everyone had finished their meal. On the surface, she had a smile on her face that said, "Everyone likes the food I cook," but she kept saying "MMP" in her heart.
What's wrong with these guests? How can they eat so much? Where's the promise of losing weight? Where's the promise of staying in shape?
[Wow wow wow… My boiled pork slices, my garlic spareribs, my crucian carp soup! I haven’t even had two bites yet!]
Jiang Mingkai touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
I was originally a little resentful of Lin Cha, but since I have received favors from others, I should be grateful to them. Suddenly, I felt embarrassed to be angry with Lin Cha.
…
After eating and drinking, the guests sat lazily at the dining table in the courtyard and chatted.
The moon is bright in the sky and the summer breeze is blowing.
After a day of hard work, it's finally time to rest.
When chatting, besides work, emotional relationships are inevitably involved.
Liu Mingqian married young, had a daughter at the age of 22, and also made the early transition from actor to director. Now in his forties, he has many well-known works in the film and television industry.
Chen Xianzhi is a single host and is still single at the age of 38.
Whenever the two old acquaintances were together, Liu Mingqian would always tease Chen Xianzhi, "Old Chen, you're already in your thirties. If you don't get married soon, no one will want you! What do you mean by 'a man is in his prime at forty-one'? You're just kidding old men! You better hurry up!"
Chen Xianzhi is the host, so of course he's not afraid of being teased. "I'm free enough on my own, so forget about getting married!"
He immediately turned to look at Jiang Mingkai standing beside him, and said half seriously and half teasingly, "Mingkai, I remember you are 28 years old, right? When are you getting married?"
Emotional topics, mixed with a bit of gossip, are always interesting.
Jiang Mingkai knew that Chen Xianzhi deliberately cue him this, not really wanting to ask him about his gossip, but just wanting to chat casually and pique the interest of the fans in the live broadcast room.
As soon as Chen Xianzhi finished asking, Jiang Mingkai's fans in the live broadcast room immediately went wild.
[Kaikai’s wife is me!]
[Kaikai, didn’t you see Teacher Chen asking? When will you marry me?!]
[Kaikai, I don’t want any betrothal gifts or money! We can have our wedding night right now!]
…
Jiang Mingkai couldn't see the comments in the live broadcast room, but his face still turned red.
He smiled shyly and replied to Chen Xianzhi, "Teacher Chen, it's still early for me! While I'm still young, work is more important!"
Chen Xianzhi thought about it and nodded, "That's right, you're currently in your rising period and don't have time for a relationship. But if you get married in the future, you must invite me to the wedding!"
"That's for sure. I will never forget Teacher Chen and Teacher Liu!"
Everyone was about to change the topic when they suddenly heard Lin Cha's voice——
[What do you mean by career is more important? I just spent this afternoon in the pantry with my girlfriend making some sauce. What do you mean by career is more important?]
Liu Mingqian & Chen Xianzhi:?
[Oh, that's right. Teacher Chen and Teacher Liu didn't know about this. They probably thought Jiang Mingkai was a career-oriented person, but they didn't expect him to be a love-minded person!]
[Let me see, Jiang Yun wants to know what expression Jiang Mingkai makes when he says career is the most important thing! Hehehe~]
Lin Cha was so excitedly searching the system for melons that he didn't notice that Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi had pricked up their ears.
It's already shocking that Jiang Mingkai has a girlfriend, but he even brought her to a variety show? And he even did unspeakable things in the variety show storage room?!
Big melon!
Look at Jiang Mingkai’s face full of black lines...it’s obvious that what Lin Cha said is true!
Who doesn't like eating melons?
Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi have already taken out the melon seeds and are waiting for Lin Cha's melon!
[Huh? Jiang Yun isn't with the director's group? Where did she go? Let me look for her...]
[Ha! Found it!]
Lin Cha's eyes were shining, and Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi unconsciously moved closer to Lin Cha.
But Lin Cha frowned.
[Uh, it's only what time now, why is this woman already sleeping in the nanny car? ]
[Oh no! Why is the nanny car shaking? And why is there a man on Jiang Yun?!]
Liu Mingqian:?
Chen Xianzhi: ???
Jiang Mingkai: ???

Qingchuan Village, parking lot
"Qiu Yang, be gentle! What if someone finds out?"
"Don't worry, this car has a privacy film, so people outside can't see what's going on inside! Yunyun, let me kiss you, I miss you so much!"
The man buried his head in the two little white rabbits on the woman's chest. Jiang Yun wanted to push him away shyly, but she was reluctant to do so.
Qiu Yang's appearance and figure are far inferior to Jiang Mingkai's, but he knows much more about things in bed than Jiang Mingkai. At least he can please himself instead of always having a cold face like Jiang Mingkai.
Humans are strange creatures. They always say they want to find beautiful, handsome, and well-built women. But when they cheat, the person they cheat with isn't necessarily any better than their original partner.
The car door was opened with a "crash" and strong lights shone into the nanny car.
Jiang Yun and Qiu Yang couldn't see clearly for a moment, so they could only block the light with their hands. After their eyes adjusted for a while, they could see the scene clearly through the gaps between their fingers.
At this moment, Jiang Mingkai was standing at the door of the nanny car.
“Ming…Mingkai?!”
Jiang Yun was shocked, and Qiu Yang was stunned for a long time, but there were more than just Jiang Mingkai standing outside the nanny car. There were also Liu Mingqian and others who were curious and wanted to join in the fun.
The two men hurriedly put on their clothes and got out of the car in a panic.
"Mingkai, listen to my explanation!"
Jiang Mingkai's hand was still clutching the door of the nanny car, his fingertips were white and veins on the back of his hand were bulging.
Jiang Yun pulled Jiang Mingkai's hand eagerly, but Jiang Mingkai pushed her away.
"Mingkai, you really misunderstood... Brother Qiu and I have nothing..."
Jiang Yun's eyes filled with tears as she suddenly pointed at Qiu Yang, "It was him! He forced me to do this!"
Qiu Yang's eyes widened. He didn't expect Jiang Yun to turn the tables on him.
But if he thought about it carefully, he was Jiang Mingkai's agent. If Jiang Mingkai kicked him out, Jiang Yun could still stay and continue to make money. But if Jiang Yun and he were kicked out by Jiang Mingkai at the same time, then both of them would be left with nothing.
So, Qiu Yang gritted his teeth and slapped himself hard, "Mingkai...it's me, it's all my fault, I've let you down!"
Jiang Mingkai frowned.
Could it be that he really misunderstood Jiang Yun, and in fact everything was forced by Qiu Yang?
[Huh? That's wrong, isn't it? The melon I just saw wasn't like that! The melon-eating system clearly stated that Jiang Yun and Qiu Yang were in love and had a three-hundred-round battle in the nanny car. How did that become forced?]
Lin Cha, a newbie in the book world, was not familiar with the melon-eating system yet. He thought he had read it wrong and even turned to the previous record to take another look.
[You're not mistaken! Jiang Yun and Qiu Yang have been secretly in love for quite some time!]
hehe!
He got slapped in the face on the spot!
Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi were standing by, eating the melon with relish.
Celebrities in the entertainment industry all pretend to be single, but more than half of them have a partner, so it is not surprising that Jiang Mingkai has a girlfriend.
But the strange thing is...they caught the adulterer on the spot! And the adulterer is actually the agent of the person involved!
As for Jiang Yun's refusal to admit that she and Qiu Yang had an affair, that was understandable. Jiang Yun was just a small assistant, while Jiang Mingkai was a popular male star. Such a wealthy son-in-law would never come back.
Jiang Yun had no idea that her little tricks had been discovered, and she kept throwing dirty water on Qiu Yang. For the sake of their future plans, Qiu Yang had no choice but to admit that it was all his own confusion.
Jiang Mingkai narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Yun and Qiu Yang coldly.
Suddenly, he sneered.
"Jiang Yun, since you said you were forced, call the police!"
