Chapter 149 CEO Pei Gets Spicy
When the two arrived at their destination, three big question marks appeared on Xia Yu's head. Wasn't this the entrance to Qinghe Village? What kind of pattern would there be here?
The viewers in the two's live stream were also filled with questions.
[Why did you end up at the village entrance?]
[Does this have anything to do with the pattern? Why can't I see it? (scratching head)]
[I didn't see it either. Could it be that Old Hou remembered it wrong?]
[It doesn't seem like it. Perhaps everyone should take a closer look.]
[Wait a minute! Everyone, look at the village sign at the entrance!]
[Oh, I see. At the village entrance, two long wooden poles are erected on either side, and two steel wires connect the top of the poles, with a village sign hanging in the middle.]
[Looking at it this way, the director's drawing is quite apt.]
[These are all simple shapes and lines; could a director not draw them vividly?]
[The director, clutching his heart as if struck by an arrow, thought: "You netizens this generation are really something else!"]
Hou Yunqi took Xia Yu's hand and led him to a spot a little ahead of the village entrance, asking him to take a closer look.
Xia Yu looked at the village entrance building in front of him, then at the picture on his phone. His eyes widened. "This looks like the picture!"
The buildings at the village entrance gradually blended into the patterns.
Xia Yu jumped up and down excitedly.
The two searched for nearly half an hour at the village entrance before finally finding the treasure chest behind a large rock. Inside the chest was a small, round badge with the words "Qing He" engraved on it.
Time passed by, and it was time for each group to go back and prepare lunch.
At noon, Xu Wang cooked for Pei Yanchuan himself. He used his travel funds to buy some prawns from the production team, intending to make Pei Yanchuan's favorite steamed prawns.
Pei Yanchuan went into the kitchen for what felt like the hundredth time, only to be pushed out by Xu Wang again.
"You don't need to help, just wait to eat."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yanchuan stopped walking into the kitchen, but he remained standing at the kitchen doorway, quietly watching the earnest figure inside.
Soon, Xu Wang finished preparing today's dishes and brought them to the table one by one.
Pei Yanchuan looked at the large plate of steamed prawns in the center of the table, a slight smile playing on his lips. He carefully peeled a whole prawn, dipped it in the sauce, and offered it to Xu Wang's mouth.
Xu Wang didn't refuse and directly opened his mouth to eat it. Hmm, the dipping sauce he made today tastes pretty good, and the millet peppers are indeed very potent.
As Xu Wang was eating, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He slowly stopped chewing. He remembered that it seemed to be mentioned in the novel that Pei Yanchuan couldn't eat spicy food...
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Before Xu Wang could finish his thought, a violent cough suddenly came from beside him.
Seeing Pei Yanchuan covering his mouth and nose and lowering his head, Xu Wang quickly handed him a tissue and then a glass of warm water.
"Have some water first. Are you alright? How are you feeling now?" Xu Wang stood up, pushed back the chair behind him, and quickly walked to Pei Yanchuan's side, anxiously supporting his arm.
"I'm fine, I just choked a little without realizing it." Pei Yanchuan reached out, picked up his water glass, and slowly took a sip.
"It's delicious." Pei Yanchuan lowered his head, intending to continue eating.
"You don't need to dip this in." Xu Wang reached out to take the dipping sauce away from Pei Yanchuan, but before he could get close to the bowl, his hand was stopped by a large hand.
"I'm fine, I think it tastes delicious." Pei Yanchuan's voice was a little hoarse.
Seeing that his persuasion was useless, Xu Wang directly reached out and cupped the other person's head with both hands, making the other person look directly at him. Pei Yanchuan looked straight at Xu Wang. At this moment, the corners of his eyes and lips were a little red, especially his lips, which were slightly swollen.
Xu Wang looked at Pei Yanchuan, who seemed a little different from usual, and felt both fondness and heartache.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Pei Yanchuan gently covered Xu Wang's hand with his hand again.
Xu Wang sighed as he watched Pei Yanchuan's actions. He withdrew his hand, turned around, and went into the kitchen to prepare a new dipping sauce without chili peppers. He then brought it out and gently placed it in front of Pei Yanchuan.
"Try this dipping sauce." Xu Wang took the bowl of spicy dipping sauce from in front of Pei Yanchuan and put it aside.
"Okay." Pei Yanchuan looked at the new dipping sauce in front of him, obediently picked up a piece of shrimp, dipped it in, and then slowly put it in his mouth.
This time, the dipping sauce wasn't too spicy; the balance of saltiness and sweetness was just right, with no single flavor overpowering the others. The sesame oil added a finishing touch, making it very fragrant.
"Delicious." Pei Yanchuan smiled and looked up at Xu Wang across from him.
"That's good." Xu Wang sat back down in his seat only after confirming that the other person liked it.
As soon as Xu Wang sat back down, a plate of peeled shrimp meat appeared in front of him. The shrimp meat had a light red hue, and it tasted tender, bouncy, and very plump.
Xu Wang finished his bite and looked up. Pei Yanchuan was looking at him tenderly across from him.
[This is so adorable! Today is another day of celebration for CP fans.]
[President Pei's slightly red eyes have a unique charm! (shyly)]
[My wife was stunned just now, wasn't she? (covers mouth and giggles)]
[I'm absolutely in love with this couple! Please add me to this ship's fandom, thank you.]
[I captured another amazing picture today, so happy (Picture - Filtered version of Xu Wang holding his face)]
These two really dote on each other.
[President Pei, wife, let's go! Let's try to get the remaining three gold badges! (Charge!)]
[Compared to this group, I don't even know what to say about Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan's group. Just how obsessed are they with getting first place or showing off? They skipped lunch and were still searching around the village.]
[I don't understand their thought process either; it gave me a headache. I went in for a quick look and then left.]
Of the several groups of guests in the village, only Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan remained, continuing their search for the remaining three golden badges.
Neither of them wanted to lose to Xu Wang, nor did they want to lose to Pei Yanchuan, but after searching all day, they couldn't even find a trace of the badge.
After enjoying a sweet lunch, Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan took a one-and-a-half-hour nap before resuming their treasure hunt at 2 p.m.
