Chapter 52 Winery
[Host! Be careful! There's a sedative added to this glass of red wine!]
Tuanzi's voice echoed in my mind, tinged with wariness.
The dosage is very small and won't harm you, but it will make you dependent on it!
Su Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and she calmly put down her wine glass.
He said with a smile:
"This wine is indeed good, but it's a bit strong; I can't drink much of it."
Jiang Yi's smile remained unchanged. He nodded, naturally taking the wine glass from her hand and placing it on the coffee table beside him.
"It's okay, if you can't drink, you don't have to."
I still have some juice here, I'll go get it for you.
He turned and walked towards the kitchen, his back still straight and elegant.
Su Jiaojiao watched his retreating figure, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.
This Jiang Yi is indeed quite cunning.
A moment later, Jiang Yi came out carrying a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Hand it to her:
"Have some juice, it'll help you sober up."
Su Jiaojiao took the orange juice, took a sip, and found it sweet with a refreshing orange aroma.
"Thank you," she said.
"You are welcome"
Jiang Yi sat on the sofa opposite her, her legs elegantly crossed.
The posture was languid yet elegant.
He reached into his briefcase and took out an invitation with a gold-embossed cover and a few pages of program schedule, placed them on the coffee table, and gently pushed them in front of her, his tone carrying a hint of expectation:
"Jiaojiao, a variety show wants to invite you to be a guest star."
I think it suits you perfectly, take a look.
Su Jiaojiao accepted the invitation and itinerary. Her fingertips touched the paper; it was smooth and delicate, clearly meticulously prepared.
The invitation was printed with the words "variety show," accompanied by cute food and game images. She flipped through the program schedule, carefully examining each page, and the more she looked, the more pleasantly surprised she became.
This is a currently trending food-themed game show that focuses on "eating and playing games simultaneously, with fun challenges." There is no fixed script; everything depends on the guests' improvisation.
The program schedule is packed with activities.
The event features a variety of activities, including a "Food Blind Box Challenge"—guests blindfolded sample local delicacies, with prizes awarded for guessing the ingredients and origins; a "Fun Kitchen Battle"—guests team up to create dishes using randomly provided ingredients, with scores from the audience and judges; and an "Outdoor Treasure Hunt Adventure"—searching for hidden food clues in scenic locations.
Complete the tasks to unlock top local specialties.
The schedule also indicated that this episode would be filmed in a scenic seaside city, and that in addition to her, several outgoing and popular celebrities would be among the guest stars, making for a very eye-catching lineup.
Su Jiaojiao could tell that this variety show was indeed a good fit for her; it was relaxing, fun, and she could eat all kinds of delicious food, without any pressure from acting.
More importantly, you can gain more affection points.
"This variety show..."
Su Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Jiang Yi, her eyes full of admiration.
"very good"
Jiang Yi's blue eyes lit up instantly, like stars suddenly illuminating the silent night sky. He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed intently on her, his tone firm yet carrying a touch of undeniable authority, perfectly balanced so as not to make her uncomfortable.
"As long as you're happy, you're the perfect guest on this variety show."
"But……"
Su Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, then frowned slightly, her tone tinged with worry.
"I've never been on a game show like this before."
I'm afraid I won't be able to relax and will end up feeling awkward if I don't play well."
"It doesn't matter"
Jiang Yi spoke immediately, his tone resolute and carrying a reassuring power.
"The director of this variety show is a longtime friend of mine. He's best at engaging the guests' emotions, creating a very relaxed atmosphere. I've already checked with you, and all the other guests are easy to get along with, so you definitely won't feel awkward."
He paused, looking at her tenderly, his voice low and sincere.
It's like making a solemn promise:
Most importantly, I will be there the whole time.
I would be on set for every episode of the variety show recording.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime.
His voice was as gentle as a feather, softly brushing against Su Jiaojiao's heart.
Su Jiaojiao looked at him and sighed inwardly. This Jiang Yi was truly a gentle trap, leading her step by step until she willingly jumped in.
"Okay," she said, putting down the process sheet and nodding.
A bright smile curved her lips.
I promise you.
Jiang Yi's blue eyes instantly lit up dramatically, and a radiant smile curved his lips. The smile was sincere and warm, as if he had received the most precious treasure in the world, and his whole being seemed to come alive.
He couldn't resist the urge to get closer, his body twitching slightly, but he quickly restrained himself.
He simply coughed lightly, placing his fist to his lips, to conceal the excitement in his eyes:
"That's great! Jiaojiao, I promise I won't let you down!"
His smile was genuine and warm, making it hard not to be captivated.
After discussing the details of the variety show, Jiang Yi glanced at the sky outside the window and suggested:
"It's still early, let me take you to see the wine cellar."
"Okay," Su Jiaojiao nodded in agreement.
Following Jiang Yi through a long corridor, we arrived at the underground wine cellar.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a richer aroma of wine, several times stronger than in the living room, wafted out, intoxicatingly potent. The wine cellar was enormous, roughly the size of a basketball court, with rows of neat wine racks stretching from floor to ceiling, filled with all sorts of red wines, ranging from decades to centuries old, each bottle incredibly valuable.
The aisles between the wine racks were carpeted with soft carpet, and the crystal chandeliers overhead cast a gentle glow, making the entire wine cellar look like a dream.
"The wines here are all from my treasured collection."
Jiang Yi walked along, introducing the topic in a soft voice.
"There's Lafite from France, Tuscany from Italy, and Rioja from Spain... Every bottle of wine has its own story."
He walked to a wine rack, picked up a bottle of red wine, and smiled slightly at Su Jiaojiao:
"This bottle of wine was a gift from my father on my eighteenth birthday."
He said, "I'll save this bottle of wine until I meet the most important person in my life."
Only then can it be opened.
He looked at Su Jiaojiao with tender eyes:
"Now, I've finally waited for this moment."
Su Jiaojiao's cheeks flushed slightly. She turned her head away, looking at the wine rack beside her, pretending not to understand what he said. Jiang Yi looked at her flushed cheeks, his smile deepening.
He put down his wine glass and didn't continue the conversation.
I just walked slowly with her.
I patiently explained the origin and story of each bottle of wine to her.
