Chapter 77 Four-person dinner, we are in love
When the host saw the two of them coming over like conjoined twins, he looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Rong Zhen tried hard to pull away Chu Xicheng's hand that was covering her mouth, and struggled desperately under his armpit, even winking at Wei Qiheng, who was scratching his head and trying to figure out the flower language, to save her.
Unfortunately, the former was very strong and she couldn't break free at all.
The latter was attracted by Yun Fanfan who came back right after them. Not only did he forget to help her, he even forgot to think about the flower language.
Chu Xi took the opportunity to hand over the seven-colored rose. When he was halfway through speaking the flower language, he suddenly felt a pain in the palm of his hand. He lowered his head and met a pair of round, angry, watery eyes.
It turned out that Rongzhen took advantage of the time when he was distracted by the flower language to bite the flesh on the palm of his hand hard and glared at him.
Damn it, if you have the guts, get out of here!
This was clearly revealed in her wide-open eyes.
Chu Xicheng smiled, his lips curved up, and he pinched her cheek and said, "Open your mouth first, and I'll let go."
Rongzhen didn't believe it and continued to stare at him with the piece of meat in her mouth.
Chu Xicheng's smile widened. He glanced up at Yun Fanfan's team, which was approaching, and said, "Look, if they keep dawdling, they'll be the ones to reap the benefits."
"How about we take first and second place first, and then no matter who comes in first or second, we can split the meal in half?"
Rongzhen was deeply moved by these words.
Besides, she had been biting for so long and she was also venting enough of being pinched under the armpit and dragged, so after her mouth was released, she quickly finished the flower language that she had not finished reciting before.
Chu Xicheng also finished speaking about his team's share and successfully secured the first two places before Yun Fanfan and the others arrived.
The host hadn't lied to them before. The dinner reward for the first place winner was a simplified version of the Manchu-Han banquet, and the second place winner was a French candlelight dinner.
Because they agreed to split the meal in half, the banquet and the candlelight dinner were placed on the same table, with the men and women sitting opposite each other.
It should have been a very romantic atmosphere, but there were four of them.
The four of them sat around a square table serving a mixed Chinese and Western meal. The atmosphere was as awkward and strange as the incongruous types of food on the table.
[Pfft, it looks like they're playing mahjong.]
[It was supposed to be a nice dinner for two, but they had to squeeze in four people. It would be strange if the atmosphere wasn't awkward.]
Honestly, I feel like laughing. Cheng Shen is indeed the Big Bad Wolf. His tactics are truly extraordinary. He didn't leave his opponent any chance to exploit any loopholes. Awesome.jpg]
[I told you to stop worrying. Look, no matter how hard the little kitten struggles, it can't escape the clutches of the big bad wolf.]
[Wolfcat Brigade: I feel so relieved.]
[Ahem, maybe my focus is a little strange, I want to ask the little kitty... does Cheng Shen have body odor?]
[! Don't doubt it, you just have a strange focus. Our Chengshen is a handsome man, how could he have that kind of thing?]
[Why bring up this topic? I can't even enjoy my meal.]
Rongzhen, however, ate with great relish, accepting everything from sea cucumbers, abalone, foie gras and snails, satisfying his every craving.
Seeing that she liked it, Chu Xicheng would reach out and pick up a dish for her from time to time, with a hint of doting unconsciously in his eyes.
Wei Qiheng had no appetite. He pushed the sweet and sour pork ribs he didn't want to eat to Rong Zhen with disdain and said sarcastically, "Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost? Do you have a glutton in your stomach?"
Rong Zhen swallowed a mouthful of lobster meat and retorted in the same unceremonious tone, "Do you think everyone is as well-dressed and well-fed as you, the eldest young master, and has never suffered any hardship? You should know that life out there is not so easy!"
Also, she was very active today and was just feeling hungry. What's wrong with eating more?
Wei Qiheng was embarrassed. He really didn't know.
The delicacies on the table, which were rare for ordinary people, were just ordinary to him. They were not even as good as those made by his chef, which made him lose interest at all.
Qiao Yuzhu, who was silent on the side, subconsciously wanted to defend him, but when she thought about what he had done to her at the gate of the manor and her own plan at the beginning of this game, she finally hardened her heart and ignored it.
Some men are just mean by nature.
He often doesn't appreciate things that come to his door, but he is more interested in things that confront him, ignore him, or compete with others for him.
Shu Rongzhen didn't realize why Wei Qiheng was so friendly to her.
She would rather he just ignored her like he did to other female guests, instead of constantly wanting to verbally attack her with foul mouth.
But Qiao Yuzhu could see the difference.
Considering the relationship between the four people and her original plan, she did not attack immediately, but endured it silently.
"Mr. Big Bad Wolf, you should eat something too. You've been busy all day and must be starving." She smiled softly and scooped a bowl of soup for Chu Xicheng.
Just now, Rong Zhen wanted to drink this soup, but Chu Xicheng stopped her.
She didn't know what was going on here, but after hearing and seeing Qiao Yuzhu's behavior, she stopped and stared at Chu Xicheng's reaction. Wei Qiheng also looked over and frowned when he saw Qiao Yuzhu serving soup to Chu Xicheng.
Qiao Yuzhu noticed it out of the corner of her eye and thought that her actions had worked.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xicheng took the soup bowl and placed it in front of Wei Qiheng, causing the latter's face to darken and he said sullenly, "I don't need to drink this."
"What kind of soup is that?" Rongzhen raised her hand curiously.
Qiao Yuzhu glanced at her with a hint of contempt, "Of course it's a medicinal soup."
Rongzhen knew it was a tonic soup because she smelled a medicinal scent, but what kind of tonic soup was it? Why didn't either of them drink it, and they wouldn't let her drink it either.
Chu Xicheng and Wei Qiheng's eyes met, and they tacitly agreed not to tell her their names.
Some knowledgeable audience members in the live broadcast room were already laughing like crazy.
[Kittens are so innocent~]
What other soup could possibly be considered taboo for men and unacceptable for women? A kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening soup, sly smile.jpg
[No, no, this looks like a tonic soup. It's incredibly effective at warming and replenishing Qi and blood. It seems women can drink it, too, right?]
[You can drink it, but everyone's physical condition varies. It's best not to drink it casually because it's primarily used to treat male Qi and blood deficiency, asthenia, coughing, asthma, weak legs and knees, and nocturnal emission.]
[Well, I have a friend who wants to know if the effects are real?]
[Ahem, I also have a friend...]
[Get out of the way, you're not being honest at all. I'm asking on my boyfriend's behalf. Cat is looking forward to it.jpg]
Seeing that Chu Xicheng and Wei Qiheng were both very secretive about the soup, Rong Zhen tactfully did not pursue the matter further.
The main reason was that her stomach was already full by now.
Since the other three were still eating slowly and elegantly, she did not put down her cutlery, but began to slow down her eating speed, savoring the delicious food bite by bite, and appreciating Qiao Yuzhu's performance at the same time.
I don't know what's wrong with these sisters. They ignored their fiancé whom they treasured and just kept asking Chu Xicheng about his well-being and flirting with him.
Although the acting is superficial and looks a bit fake, the effect is still good.
After being "slapped in the face" like this, Wei Qiheng decisively drew Qiao Yuzhu's attention back and became sticky with her again, just like when he came in.
In this regard, Chu Xicheng remained as firm as a mountain.
He ignored Qiao Yuzhu's deliberate approach, and was also indifferent to Wei Qiheng's instinctive struggle.
What is he doing?
He was eating seriously, and whenever he saw something delicious, he would give Rongzhen a bite and smile at her, invisibly showing his gentleness, thoughtfulness and gentlemanly demeanor, which was in sharp contrast to the other person.
Wei Qiheng, who had no idea that he had become a member of the control group, was again attracted by Qiao Yuzhu, which once again highlighted the unwavering determination of a certain big bad wolf in his feelings.
By the time dinner was over, Rongzhen's subconscious desire to follow him made it clear how effective the contrast was.
Of course, Rongzhen didn't want to be a third wheel for the two people he hooked up with again, so he left after eating.
Chu Xicheng walked her all the way to the stairs, and when he saw her turn around and go upstairs, he suddenly said, "Tomorrow is the last day."
Rongzhen turned around in confusion: "Yeah, what's the matter?"
"I don't know what activities the program team will arrange tomorrow." Chu Xicheng was a little bit of a conversationalist.
Rongzhen had read the plot and knew some of the content. "I think it's time to guess each other's identities."
Chu Xicheng took a step closer and leaned against the handrail, facing Rong Zhen who was standing on the steps, their eyes level: "Do you want to know who I am?"
Rongzhen was not just busy participating in the show these past two days. She also privately compared various aspects of several male guests, such as height, appearance, temperament, etc., and finally came to a conclusion that was not very friendly to her.
That is, the person in front of you is most likely the male protagonist.
As for whether it is true or not, now is a good opportunity to find out.
Therefore, facing Chu Xicheng's aggressive approach and gaze, Rong Zhen did not retreat this time, but advanced instead. Taking advantage of the current position, he moved closer to him and whispered, "I want to know, but I already have some guesses."
Chu Xicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Who am I?"
Rongzhen wanted to turn off the chest microphone before talking, but he grabbed her hand and stopped her.
Chu Xicheng: "They all know who we are, but we ourselves are not clear about our respective identities."
Or maybe after spending these two days together, he has basically recognized the familiar people and has some idea in his mind, so he is just deliberately cooperating with the program team so that the results can be revealed tomorrow.
If he doesn't mind being exposed, then Rongzhen won't care either.
Rong Zhen: "Big Actor Chu Xicheng, is that you?"
The cunning male protagonist of the story almost led her into the ditch again, but fortunately she stuck to her bottom line and was not abducted by him.
"You really recognized me." Chu Xicheng let go of her hand and tried to rub her hair instead.
"I didn't know you before, I was just guessing." Rongzhen answered while backing away, but didn't notice the steps behind him. He tripped on his heel and fell backwards uncontrollably.
Chu Xicheng stretched out his long arms and held her waist. Perhaps because his feet were too slippery or his center of gravity was unbalanced, he accidentally fell on the carpet on the stairs.
With his strength as a cushion, Rongzhen did not fall, but he pounced on her so hard that she felt like she was going to be crushed.
Seeing this scene, the people in the live broadcast room screamed and drooled.
The man himself was not feeling well, pushing the big guy on his body and protesting, "You are too heavy, get up quickly!"
Chu Xicheng seemed to be injured somewhere. He supported his upper body with his elbows and slowly moved forward. Suddenly, he stopped and frowned and said, "I think my waist is twisted. Let me slow down."
Rongzhen: “?!”
No way, it's so embarrassing for them to look like this. Not only is there a photographer next to them, but there are also so many people watching them in the live broadcast room.
But compared to being embarrassed, the actor's waist is obviously more important.
Rongzhen had no choice but to accept the defeat. Not only did she have to cooperate with him to get up slowly, but she was also forced to hand over her contact information in case there were any subsequent issues that needed to be resolved with her.
The audience in the live broadcast room were originally very worried, but when they saw this, they all had profound expressions as if they understood everything.
Well, the big bad wolf has many tricks, and the little cat will never be able to escape.
Look at it now, it's easily controlled.
