The botanical garden provided the ingredients for dinner, and the guests cooked their own meals.
This botanical garden is quite old. In the beginning, it was simply a research base for cultivating crops. Most of the earliest breeding experts in the country worked here.
There are both modern facilities and relics from the last century, such as the staff dormitory building, which is a small tube-shaped building in the corner of the botanical garden.
"All the produce from the botanical garden can be used as food. Our chickens are raised downstairs, and the seasonings and rice cooker are in the kitchen," the director said. "Divide the work among yourselves. It's five o'clock now, so you need to eat by at least seven."
Based on the available ingredients, everyone unanimously decided to make a soup, stew a small hot pot, and stir-fry some spicy chicken tonight.
The director is really a clever guy. Because there was not enough material in this episode, he suddenly had the idea to shoot this. The guests not only have to cook their own food, but also have to pick the vegetables and catch the chickens themselves. This way, there is a lot more material available.
After the other guests had almost finished choosing their tasks, Wen Xingze chose one that no one wanted: "Then I'll go catch chickens."
Some of the guests and the three graduate students led by Professor Guo suddenly became excited and cried out at the same time: "Cluck, cl ...
If Wen Xingze was carrying a chicken coop, they might have crawled in by themselves.
Wen Xingze: “?”
Chi Yan had already put his hand on the kitchen door. He paused, glanced at the people who were crowing, and then glanced at Wen Xingze: "Wen Xingze."
As Chi Yan spoke, the crowing of chickens that filled the room suddenly stopped.
Wen Xingze: "Teacher Chi?"
"Come help me in the kitchen."
Chi Yan's tone remained flat.
After saying this, Chi Yan walked into the kitchen without saying a word and closed the door.
The entire production crew was left outside the door looking at each other in bewilderment.
Everyone was a little confused about Chi Yan's thoughts. This was Chi Yan's first time participating in a variety show, so everyone was undoubtedly watching him. However, Chi Yan didn't act particularly active or close to anyone. The only two or three times he interacted were with Wen Xingze.
This was consistent with Chi Yan's personality. The only actors and directors Chi Yan could consider his friends in the industry were at least forty years old. It was a widely acknowledged fact that he wasn't good at, nor did he enjoy, interacting with young people.
As for Chi Yan and Wen Xingze, it might be because they had worked together before on Yu Long Ye. Because Chi Yan and Wen Xingze were so different in terms of personality, family background, and status, it was hard to imagine that they had any special relationship...
But the kitchen door was already closed, and no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't see any flowers. Everyone decided to focus on the present. "Hey, Aze, go help Actor Chi... So who will catch the chicken?"
"I used to work on a chicken farm, so I can catch chickens pretty quickly." Wen Xingze actually wanted to stay with Chi Yan, but none of the other guests knew how to catch chickens, and the chicken for dinner tonight was the highlight. "I'll go, I'll be back in five minutes."
The director hesitated and said, "That's fine..."
The guests and graduate students from before got excited again and started singing again: "Clack-clack-chirp-oh-oh-oh-"
Wen Xingze thought they were very funny: "Can the crowing of this chicken change?"
"Yes," said Professor Guo's 5'8" tall, burly, straight graduate student, scratching his head shyly. "We have the latest version. Can we tell you?"
Wen Xingze was very much looking forward to it and said he was all ears.
The guests crowed for the third time in a well-trained manner: "Cluck, cluck, cluck—I will always like Wen Xingze—Can the treasure idol add WeChat—cluck, cluck, cluck—"
Wen Xingze: “…”
"Hahahahaha!" Wen Xingze almost laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. "You guys are really having fun. No, I have to go catch chickens now..."
The kitchen door, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened with a bang.
Chi Yan had a very tall and straight figure, his handsome and deep eyebrows were half hidden in the shadows at dusk, his expression was indifferent, and his whole body had an aura like frost and snow.
Simply put, jealous.
"...hiccup," Wen Xingze also felt inexplicably guilty. "I'm going to catch the chicken now. Please wait a moment. I'll go to the kitchen when I come back."
Chi Yan: “No need.”
After saying that, he signaled the director to open the door.
The director opened the door, confused.
...The scene outside the door was spectacular.
More than a dozen egret chickens raised in the entire botanical garden were standing shivering in the stairwell outside the door, barely forming a line. Under Chi Yan's cold gaze, the chickens trembled as they stretched out their thin legs and walked into the chicken coop in the basement, performing a "I catch myself" show for everyone.
Chi Yan rolled up his sleeves, leaned over, picked out the fattest chicken from the chicken coop, and lifted it upside down. The chicken broke its own neck in extreme fear.
This scene had a great impact on everyone present.
"This one is for the spicy chicken," Chi Yan said, "and you can pick another one to make soup."
Guests: “…”
"Buddha, have mercy on me," Wen Xingze said, looking at the chickens with compassion, reciting a few Buddhist verses, and saying, "Put more white sesame seeds on the spicy chicken tonight."
Guests: “…………” What kind of compassion is this Buddha!
Chi Yan nodded, then looked around expressionlessly, especially at the few people who had just crowed. Who would dare to crow now? What if they were caught and made into soup?!
"Ku ...
The guests swallowed at the same time, their faces turned pale, and the crowing of chickens that filled the room completely disappeared.
Wen Xingze followed Chi Yan into the kitchen in fear.
There's a fixed camera and a cameraman in the kitchen. Watching two celebrity guests cook together is a fun fodder for many variety shows, regardless of whether the celebrities are skilled or clumsy.
And this time, it was Chi Yan who took the initiative to offer to cook, which made it even more interesting. The photographer, who had obviously been specifically instructed by the director to take good pictures, looked at the viewfinder nervously: "Please feel free to do whatever you want, just pretend I'm not here."
Come to think of it, this was the first time that Wen Xingze helped Chi Yan in the kitchen. Although they lived together, Chi Yan always refused to let him help in the kitchen when they were at home. Wen Xingze would at most just arrange the plates and forks.
Wen Xingze: "Teacher Chi, shall I cut the vegetables?"
Chi Yan glanced at the sharp blade of the kitchen knife and frowned.
The knife twirled between Chi Yan's slender fingers. He used a very quick and neat technique to cut all the vegetables in just half a minute and put the knife back into the container.
Wen Xingze: “?”
Wen Xingze: "Then I cook?"
Chi Yan glanced at the oil pan with sparks flying out and frowned again.
He motioned to Wen Xingze to stand further away to avoid being splashed with oil. He put on a mask, started cooking, and with the skillful techniques of a professional chef, he added oil, stir-fried, flipped the wok, and collected the sauce. Soon, the dishes were ready.
The photographer was stunned. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that the legendary and famous actor Chi was so good at cooking.
Wen Xingze: “???”
While Wen Xingze thought Chi Yan was handsome, he was also confused: "Then what am I responsible for?"
Chi Yan doesn't need any kitchen help at all. He can handle everything by himself. If he had known this, he should have gone to catch chickens...
Chi Yan: “…”
He obviously hadn't thought about this question before asking Wen Xingze to come into the kitchen. Chi Yan stood there and thought for two seconds, then said, "Wen Xingze, come here."
Wen Xingze went over obediently.
Chi Yan took off his apron, pulled out a lollipop from his jacket pocket, peeled off the wrapper, and let Wen Xingze bite into it. He instructed, "You're in charge of this. Don't move until you're done."
Wen Xingze: "Oh, okay."
Because Wen Xingze likes sweets, Chi Yan always carries one or two lollipops or chocolates with him since they started dating.
The lollipop was orange flavored. Wen Xingze bit the lollipop, but did not stand still as Chi Yan asked.
Because Chi Yan was on a business trip this time, they hadn't seen each other for two or three days. Wen Xingze missed him very much, so he followed Chi Yan around like a little tail, watching Chi Yan cook with wide eyes in curiosity.
Chi Yan doesn't talk much, and Wen Xingze isn't noisy either, but the two of them never feel bored or awkward when they're together.
"I've made this at home before, and it's really delicious. By the way, Teacher Chi, I've been re-watching your old movies these past couple of days..."
The kitchen is a very dangerous place. Chi Yan was worried that Wen Xingze would be splashed with oil, so he wanted him to move away but he couldn't do it. He could only reach out and touch Wen Xingze's head.
Wen Xingze felt his heart soften. How could such a good person like Chi Yan already be his boyfriend? He was so lucky!
"Like a little animal." Chi Yan said softly.
Wen Xingze: "Woof."
Chi Yan's breathing stopped: "..."
So cute.
Wen Xingze's eyes were soft and clear in the dusk light. While the photographer was adjusting his equipment, he spoke frankly, "Because I miss you so much."
Chi Yan didn't say anything. It took him a long while to resist the urge to kiss Wen Xingze. He stirred the soup with a long spoon.
The winter bamboo shoot and fish soup on the stove had already boiled white and was bubbling. Chi Yan served a bowl to Wen Xingze to let him taste it, and finally asked Wen Xingze to take the tableware out first.
It took Wen Xingze about fifteen minutes to finish a lollipop. Chi Yan finished the rest of the work in those fifteen minutes so that dinner could start right away.
The photographer was diligently filming. The director came by to take a look at the filming and couldn't help but say, "Actor Chi and A-Ze...they seem so... what..."
Well, how should I put it.
The photographer and director got together to review the footage they had just shot.
In an old small building from the last century, at dusk, the light was gentle. Chi Yan was holding a long spoon and cooking soup, while Wen Xingze was talking beside him. The shadows of the two people overlapped and stretched on the ground.
"Fuck," the director was completely shocked. "Has Actor Chi's account been hacked? How come he and A-Ze are so familiar with each other? I'm not just gossiping, but they might be—"
Photographer: “?”
Professor Guo passing by: “?”
The photographer and the director looked at each other in confusion, and then the director was the first to say awkwardly: "Well, don't you think so? Don't you think they have a good couple feeling?"
Photographer:
"Director, your thinking is too narrow. There are many other precious emotions in this world besides love," the photographer said. "Actor Chi and A-Ze are the legendary close friends regardless of age."
Director: "Wait, who's being narrow-minded!? Friendships regardless of age? Is there an age difference of more than ten years between them?!"
"But Movie Emperor Chi really does give people the feeling of a senior, while A-Ze is completely a child. Look at them, don't they look like a kindergarten teacher taking care of children?" The photographer said what he really thought. "I heard that Movie Emperor Chi was the one who taught A-Ze acting in the past. Maybe their teacher-student relationship started then..."
I heard that Actor Chi turned down all his work to make time for Wen Xingze's acting training. I also heard that he and Wen Xingze worked on the streets of Spain and learned to cook so that he could take care of the children...
The two were silent for a moment and turned their gaze to Chi Yan and Wen Xingze again.
At this time, Chi Yan was making soup. Wen Xingze asked him about the cooking method, and Chi Yan patiently explained the steps to him in detail.
There is also the lollipop that Chi Yan gave to Wen Xingze as a reward.
And Chi Yan touched his head.
Especially when I heard the background music of the children's song "Every time I walk past the teacher's window" coming from somewhere...
"Groups of successors have grown up vigorously, shouldering the hope of the motherland and rushing to all directions. You always look at them with tears in your eyes. Ah~ Whenever I think of you, my beloved teacher——"
Coupled with Chi Yan's expression as he lowered his eyes to look at Wen Xingze, the picture completely changed, as if it was an educational promotional video for the Flower Kindergarten.
How warm.
Warm and peaceful, even any ambiguous thoughts would be a stain on this pure and innocent feeling.
The director felt like he was going crazy: "Fuck, who's playing that song? Turn it off!"
The photographer turned off the music on his phone awkwardly.
At this time, Wen Xingze came out holding the tableware. The director couldn't help but stop him and asked, "Aze, what do you think of Emperor Chi?"
"Boy—" Wen Xingze swallowed the word 'friend' after boyfriend and slammed on the brakes, "Teacher?"
director:"……"
It’s confirmed.
This is the touching relationship between teachers and students!

…
The Elf Temple.
The dark elves with pointed ears and long silver hair stood with their heads bowed, listening to the priest's words. The priest spoke earnestly:
"This trip to Earth has three purposes."
"First, meet the cub."
"Second, help the cub plant the sacred tree."
"Third, examine whether Chi Yan has the qualifications to become Zaizai's future legal partner."
"There are still five minutes until the transmission. Dark elves are a race born for killing and madness. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the cub, in these final moments..."
The dark elves held their breath, and light blue veins appeared on their wrists.
really.
In the final five minutes, the dark elves were constantly in danger. What should they do to calm their agitated desire for destruction? Simulate? Listen to the previously recorded voice of the youngster? Watch the movie the youngster had given them over again? Or—
"I have a suggestion that can satisfy our desire for destruction without causing any losses, and it will make every dark elf feel happy."
The young and handsome priest smiled faintly and kept the question in suspense.
The elves looked at him eagerly.
The priest opened his personal terminal and dialed a number. A few seconds before the call was connected, he revealed the answer: "Call our dear friends of the vampires, merpeople, dragons... and other tribes, and tell them the good news—Hello? Hello, Chief Xia. I'm sure you know that the elves recently got the opportunity to visit Earth to see their children."
The priest kept smiling as the other party said something. He waited until the other party finished speaking before continuing, "...It's nothing special, I just wanted to show off. Well, the mermaids need to work harder next time to see the cubs. Come on."
Dark elves: "..."
The elves clearly heard all kinds of ping-pong noises and even loud explosions coming from the other end of the phone, and the call was hung up by the angry mermaid chief cursing.
The priest's pointed elf ears were noticeably raised higher. He smiled gently and continued to look for the next victim by flipping through the address book.
Dark elves: “…………”
Learned it!
