Chapter 33 The Little Drama Queen in Romance Variety Show 6: Medicated Oil
Yun Chiyi finally got to eat coconut chicken hot pot. The broth was delicious, and the chicken was tender and easy to debone. Her tired heart from the morning was completely healed.
She served Gu Huai a bowl of soup, her face beaming with joy: "It's super delicious."
Gu Huai nodded, took a sip of the chicken soup, and the umami flavor almost slid down his teeth to the tip of his tongue, leaving a delicious trace wherever it went.
She added soup for Lin Qiaoyu, who was sitting on her right, and said in a sweet voice, "Be careful, it's hot. Blow on it to cool it down before you drink it."
Lin Qiao looked at her suspiciously. Although she was happy to have won the game, it seemed that this attentiveness was excessive.
Sure enough, Yun Chiyi rubbed her sore wrists, looked at the plump hairy crabs on the table, and put on a pitiful expression: "I've served you some soup. Can someone help me crack a crab? The chicken is delicious, but I'd like to try the crab too."
Viewers watching the live stream immediately filled the screen with question marks.
[I just changed my opinion of her, how come she's ordering others around now?]
[It's so troublesome to dismantle crabs, okay? Scooping soup is just a quick thing to do, and nobody asks her to do it anyway.]
Is Yun Chiyi really that noble? Does she need to be served? No wonder she's always disliked on reality shows; her princess syndrome is really severe.
Lin Qiao looked at her hand, but remained silent.
Yun Chiyi moved her fair wrist, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a faint red mark appeared between her brows: "I don't know what's wrong with my hand, it hurts a lot right now. Disassembling crabs is hard work for me."
Lin Qiao reached out and pinched her wrist. Yun Chiyi couldn't help but feel pain, her expression changed, and she gasped.
"How did you get hurt?"
Gu Huai had long since stopped eating and was watching Yun Chiyi's condition.
Yun Chiyi said, "It was during the shooting game last night that I accidentally pulled something while catching it. Could I have torn a tendon?"
She shifted her focus to Gu Huai and said slowly, "I've been hungry all morning, and I feel like I want to eat a little bit of everything."
Her hand was still being held by Lin Qiaoyu, but she no longer looked into his eyes.
Gu Huai tore open a pack of wet wipes: "Let me peel them for you."
Yun Chiyi immediately beamed with joy, pulled her wrist back, clasped her hands together, and winked at Gu Huai: "Thank you, you're so kind."
Seeing that she had found someone she could boss around, Lin Qiao picked up his chopsticks and continued eating. He chewed very slowly, and the food was basically crushed.
Before long, Gu Huai finished dissecting a crab. The crab meat was intact, plump and white, and he placed it in the small bowl in front of Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi solemnly thanked Gu Huai: "I owe you a favor."
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Huai couldn't help but smile: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Yun Chiyi picked up a third of the crab meat with her chopsticks, covered her mouth with her hand in satisfaction, and gave Gu Huai a thumbs up.
Gu Huai ate more than usual at this meal, and he actually found a sense of accomplishment in the small matter of stir-frying crabs.
Lin Qiao knew that Yun Chiyi had served soup earlier as a prelude to his eagerness to be served, and that he had been adding soup himself ever since.
Yun Chiyi had openly and honestly used them, and she was all smiles, her cheeks flushed, seemingly very satisfied with the meal.
He was mistaken when he saw her sleeping on the table earlier. She truly lived up to her reputation, being spoiled and self-righteous.
That evening, before taking a shower, the director asked a few people to do individual interviews.
Yun Chiyi sat on the bench with a smile, waiting for the questions to be played.
Then a mechanical voice rang out.
Do you prefer a gentle and considerate male partner, or a serious and powerful one?
She was asking whether, after today's date, she preferred Gu Huai or Lin Qiao.
Yun Chiyi bit her lip, seemingly recalling the details of their time together today: "To be honest..."
She directly stated the two people's names: "Gu Huai is very much like an older brother, and very charming, suitable for a life together. Lin Qiao is a bit cold, but inexplicably reliable, and particularly attractive to me in some way."
"What do you mean by 'a certain aspect'?"
Yun Chiyi shyly looked away, avoiding eye contact with the computer screen: "It's a feeling."
She couldn't very well tell them that she admired Lin Qiaoyu's hidden madness.
"Would you choose either of the two male guests for your next date?"
Yun Chiyi answered directly: "Yes."
She added with a smile, "I'd like to get to know them both better."
"So, can you accept your male partner being unfaithful?"
The person who asked the question was indirectly trying to embarrass Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi slowly shook her head, her words sincere: "No, this is a dating reality show. If you keep focusing on one person, you'll miss the opportunity to interact with the other guests. You need to get to know everyone to know what kind of person you truly like."
"If you had the opportunity to date four male guests at the same time, would you be able to accept it?"
Yun Chiyi looked surprised: "Aren't there any new guests coming up? There are only four male guests?"
Is there a difference between wanting new people and wanting to raise new fish?
[Can you please stop messing with ordinary people...]
[She's so outspoken now. Her recently aired drama flopped again; has that affected her mental state?]
After the interview, Yun Chiyi stood up, but stopped again before leaving the small house.
The camera couldn't capture her image anymore; we could only hear her voice.
"Actually, none of these problems are harmful."
The production crew behind the screen exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes silently questioning each other.
Aren't these questions sharp enough?
We need to intensify our efforts!
Yun Chiyi stepped out of the room. The cool evening breeze caressed her face.
She saw someone lingering under the tree. His tall figure was clearly Lin Qiaoyu. She smiled faintly under the eaves, admiring his slender figure, and then walked towards the tree.
The production team didn't allow cell phones, but Lin Qiao made phone calls without any restraint, even when the cameras weren't rolling.
He gazed at the rippling sea: "It's nothing, I just came here to relax."
Some family members watched the live stream and are saying that he's showing his face in public and doesn't care about the family's reputation.
"Qiao Yu, I don't care how you relax, but don't bring any random girls home. Your father will be angry."
Upon hearing the woman's voice on the other end of the phone, Lin Qiao's eyes darkened instantly, but her face remained calm: "Okay."
"It's your eldest brother's birthday soon and you're not coming back? Your second brother has already finished his work outside and gone home."
Lin Qiao said in a nonchalant tone, "You guys go ahead and have your party, don't worry about me."
He Xin added, "Your older brother isn't going back abroad. He'll hone his skills for a few years to take over your father's position. The whole family will be there for his birthday. You can't be absent and embarrass him, you know?"
Lin Qiao glanced at her phone and hung up immediately.
At the same time, He Xin stared at her phone in astonishment. She had said a few words to him last time, but he had gone to some dating show without saying a word.
She tossed her phone onto the bed and wandered around the bedroom in her apricot-colored silk pajamas.
She had only said a few words to Lin Qiaoyu a few days ago, and he hadn't uttered a sound or even gone home. Normally, it would be fine, but now that Lin Qingsheng is home, he sees everything she and Lin Qiaoyu say and do. She'll be seeing his cold treatment again at her birthday party in a couple of days.
He Xin paced back and forth, looking worried.
Unfortunately, Lin Qiaoyu wouldn't listen to her advice. She should repair her relationship with Lin Qingsheng at this time to avoid being troubled by them in the future.
He Xin sighed, covering her forehead. Being a second wife in a wealthy family is not an easy job.
Under a tree by the sea, Lin Qiao put away her phone and turned her head. A white figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight. She stood fifty meters away, her ethereal figure unlike that of a human.
The two men took steps toward each other.
Yun Chiyi spread her arms to block the way, smiling brightly: "Aren't we not allowed to bring cell phones?"
Lin Qiao glanced at her with his dark eyes, but she hadn't heard him speak from that distance.
She opened her palm: "Lend me your phone, and I won't tell anyone else about this."
Lin Qiao bypassed her: "Is bringing a cell phone a serious crime?"
Yun Chiyi quickly grabbed his sleeve, and Lin Qiao walked straight ahead, but heard a soft inhale behind him.
She furrowed her brow slightly: "My wrist..."
Lin Qiao stopped and placed the phone between two fingers in her palm: "Five minutes."
Yun Chiyi twisted her wrist, her face instantly lighting up with a smile, and then dialed her agent's number.
"Sis, you didn't buy me any online trolls?"
Hearing such a straightforward conversation, Lin Qiao looked Yun Chiyi, who was wearing a soft nightgown, over from head to toe.
The agent was out socializing, and in the noisy environment, she raised her voice and said, "Is this Xiaoyi? Honey, where did you get this phone?"
The agent's voice was hoarse: "You know, we can't invest too many online trolls at the beginning. We have to take it slow, otherwise it will be easy for people to see that we're trying to stir up trouble."
Yun Chiyi bit her lip and hesitated: "No, you can't do this. Go find someone who insults people without using any swear words and then insult me severely in the previous episodes."
She was worried that her swear words would be blocked.
Lin Qiao looked at her again. It was his first time in the entertainment industry, and he didn't know there was such a way to play.
Five minutes were almost up, and Yun Chiyi glanced at Lin Qiaoyu's expression and quickened her pace.
"Next time we talk, I'll check your homework. If I can't borrow a phone, you'd better buy me some compliments. You can pick any couple to promote, any pair is fine."
She made all the arrangements perfectly, and then, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, returned the phone: "Okay, now I'll use my phone too, and I won't tell on them."
In other words, we're in the same boat now, and neither of us can betray the other.
When Lin Qiaoyu retrieved her phone, her gaze inexplicably fell on her wrist, delicate and white as snow. She seemed to have been saying that her hand was injured and it was inconvenient for her to do things.
He was just trying to get away from her, but things have changed again...
Lin Qiaoyu: "Does your hand hurt?"
Yun Chiyi blinked her clear eyes and said, "Mm."
They went back together and rested in the living room.
Lin Qiao found the first-aid kit and took out some ointment for sprains and bruises. Yun Chiyi immediately shrank into the sofa upon seeing this, reluctantly protecting her wrist.
"No, this smells terrible."
Lin Qiao didn't say much to her. He grabbed her arm, twisted open the bottle with one hand, and poured a little out onto his fingertip.
Yun Chiyi covered her nose, her bright eyes lingering on Lin Qiao and her lowered eyelashes.
Are his eyelashes really that long?
[Ugh, you two are being way too ambiguous!]
[Knock, knock, the meticulousness of the icy man]
Lin Qiaoyu's hand pressure was very skillful. He pressed his thumb against her wrist and massaged it gently. After a while, her wrist turned noticeably red.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her raven feathers trembling slightly, perhaps from nervousness or pain.
Yun Chiyi groaned softly, "It hurts."
Lin Qiao looked up: "..." So delicate.
