Chapter 138: Tea Talk
In the evening, Meng Chuyuan and his friends walked back in the afterglow, admiring the natural beauty of the town along the way.
The streetlights came on as the night progressed, the lake shimmered with a shimmering green light, and the reflections of the houses appeared on the water.
The evening breeze blew gently, and the willow branches on the shore swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. A group of people were walking slowly on the street.
"Is Brother Qi coming back tonight?" Ting Jiu suddenly thought of this and asked curiously, "Then will I be free tomorrow?"
Qi Yan walked in front, keeping a distance of about one meter from them.
Tingjiu's words were neither too light nor too heavy, and Qi Yan happened to hear them.
The day passed so quickly that she almost forgot that Qi Zhen was coming back.
"Freedom?" Meng Chuyuan asked doubtfully, "Are you leaving?"
Ting Jiu suddenly turned around and walked backwards, saying to Meng Chuyuan, "No, I will continue to record for the remaining two days, but the production team doesn't seem to have arranged a partner for me..."
He agreed so readily that he forgot to ask Director Qi Zhen who he would be in the same group with after he came back.
[Poor little Jiujiu, it feels like she is just a tool used by the production team, hahaha, thrown away after use]
[It's okay, the director will definitely arrange the partner.]
Our little Jiujiu is a hot commodity. The sales of that candy shot up this afternoon. He's definitely the advertising prince. The sponsors will definitely support him to stay.
[If all else fails, just follow Sister Meng. Who can bear to see such a cute little brother being alone?]
Meng Chuyuan suddenly smiled at him meaningfully and said calmly, "If you don't walk properly, you'll fall into the water and no one will rescue you."
Because he was busy chatting with Meng Chuyuan, his confident steps had lost their sense of direction and became increasingly crooked.
Ting Jiuda was surprised and stopped suddenly. When he turned around, he found that he was almost stepping into the soil.
They followed the signs provided by the program team and came to the hot pot place, then handed the free meal coupons to the people there, and someone took them to their seats.
Qi Yan also came with them. There was just enough space for four people at the table. When they sat down, Ting Jiu didn't want to sit with her, so Meng Chuyuan ended up sitting next to her.
After the menu was placed on the table, Meng Chuyuan habitually handed the menu to others and let them order first.
"Let's see what we want to eat." She followed the principle of ladies first and handed the menu to Qi Yan.
The moment Qi Yan saw the menu appear in front of her, she raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She looked at Meng Chuyuan with some confusion and did not take the menu immediately.
"Why are you looking at me? We don't have to spend any money. Just order whatever you want." Meng Chuyuan almost laughed at her reaction, but fortunately she held it back.
The last time their group won the dinner, they got a bottle of Moutai for free. Now that today’s menu is here, it’s just a matter of ordering whatever they want.
Qi Yan thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense. Then she took the menu from Meng Chuyuan and ordered some of her favorite dishes.
Listen to Nine: "It's my turn."
Everyone took the menu and ordered in turn, then waited for the ingredients to be served.
"The welfare provided by this program crew is pretty good. They even arranged hot pot for us." After feeling the treatment from the program crew, Ting Jiu already had the idea of staying.
It’s a nice feeling to occasionally have a meal without having to cook and still be served.
Meng Chuyuan smiled and replied, "How are you? Have you relaxed a bit these past few days while recording the show?"
Ting Jiu raised his head and saw Qi Yan sitting opposite him, but she didn't show any relaxation at all.
He even said with some dissatisfaction: "You call this relaxing? I'm not that tired even when playing professional games. My teammates are too bad and can't carry me."
These past two days, while working on a mission with Qi Yan, Ting Jiu felt constrained in everything he did.
Qi Yan frowned unhappily and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by that?"
[The look in Xiao Jiujiu's eyes just now, I could feel the full disgust even through the screen, hahahaha]
[I'm laughing and getting rich. Is it okay to say, "My teammates are too weak and can't carry me?"]
[Be patient, happiness will knock on your door tomorrow]
[Although, to be frank, I don’t know how they feel, but I feel quite relaxed watching the live broadcast.]
[Actually, it's quite interesting to listen to Jiu and Qi Yan. Without them, the audience's fun would be half as great.]
Seeing her indifferent expression, Tingjiu said nonchalantly, "You are not my teammate. I am not qualified to lead you."
Qi Yan: “…”
At this time, the Liao sisters returned home to rest for a while, and then went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Liao Jiayan was the first to appear in the kitchen. Seeing the unwashed dishes piled there from lunch, she rolled up her sleeves and washed the dishes in the basin first and cleaned up the kitchen waste.
The two of them argued for a while when they turned off the live broadcast at noon and were not in the mood to sort out these things, so they piled up until the evening.
It just so happened that the photographer was filming Liao Jiake at that moment, so the audience did not see the messy kitchen.
After the kitchen was cleaned, Liao Jiayan took out the ingredients, washed them, and cut what needed to be cut.
Not long after, Liao Jiake appeared.
Seeing Liao Jiayan cutting lotus root in the kitchen, she took the initiative to come over to find something to do.
When she noticed Liao Jiake coming in, she didn't say anything and continued to cut potatoes as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that there were still onions in the plastic bag, Liao Jiake went to the small chopping board to cut the onions, but ended up making her eyes red.
After Liao Jiayan finished cutting the lotus root, she saw that her sister was blinking wildly without stopping her hands.
She stood by and watched for two or three seconds, then couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid of cutting your hand?"
This action is indeed a bit dangerous, not to mention that Liao Jiake just replaced the onion in her hand with a new one, which is round and plump. If she doesn't hold it down, it will easily move.
Liao Jiayan put down the knife in her hand, walked over to her, and took the initiative to take over her work: "Let me do it, you go do something else."
[Who says Yanyan is ignorant? She still cares about her sister very much.]
It feels weird to see them alone together now. They haven't spoken much all day, and the younger sister seems to be indifferent.
[Keke's action just now was too dangerous. How could she cut onions with her eyes closed? What if she hurt her hand?]
[Looking at it this way, I think Yanyan is more like the older sister. She is very caring.]
In fact, Meng Chuyuan had just taken the initiative to invite them to eat hotpot, and Liao Jiayan thought it was a good idea, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to agree.
This time she cooked by herself because she didn't want to spend too much time alone with Liao Jiake, so she hid in the kitchen.
Liao Jiake raised her head, looked at her with red eyes, and said with some emotion: "Yanyan, I'm sorry to bother you. It's my fault that I'm useless. I can't even cut an onion properly."
