Deng Xiaoxiao sold a mystery and said mysteriously, "By this afternoon you’ll know. The famous chef will give you a shopping list this afternoon, and after you’ve done your shopping, he will co and give you a test, then assign tasks."
"And then what?" Zhang Yuanyuan swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously.
The light in Deng Xiaoxiao’s eyes twinkled brightly as she clenched her fist, "After that, tomorrow we will have a final showdown with Auspicious Inn!"
Huff...huff...
The desolate wind seed to pick up again, carrying endless dead leaves.
Emmm, no matter how they looked at it, they still felt it impossible to win! They had a famous chef, and so did the others; their team was all half-baked helpers, but the others were all skilled hands!!
Wait, why, in a perfectly normal inn managent reality show, were they competing in a cooking contest, and not in a cooking show showcase?!?
Everyone’s thoughts: [Driven mad.jpg]
In the afternoon, He Jinxia and others went out to the supermarket to buy ingredients.
Although shopping took a lot of ti, it was quite tedious. To finish shopping quickly, everyone carried a list and split up to utilize their nurical advantage fully.
Reality shows are all about the interactions between people. Since they were all acting individually, the director felt there was nothing good to capture and let the cara crew rest for a while.
The cara crew only needed to film the celebrities entering and leaving the supermarket. The celebrities were desperately searching for ingredients inside, while the cara crew and director sat leisurely by the cash register, enjoying the air conditioning.
Perhaps because the sun was particularly fierce that afternoon, the supermarket was sparsely populated. The celebrities also wore hats and masks, so no one recognized them, and their shopping went very smoothly.
He Jinxia quickly completed her shopping and took out her phone to check it; in the "Original Inn Group" WeChat group, no one had ntioned that they had finished shopping.
She thought about it, didn’t want to be the first to stand out, so high-profile, and did not send a ssage that she had finished shopping. Instead, she started wandering around the supermarket with her cart, leisurely enjoying herself.
Her phone buzzed at that mont. When she checked it, it was a ssage from Sheng Yan.
Sheng Yan: [How is everything going on your end?]
Two days without hearing Sheng Yan’s voice, He Jinxia felt a slight itch in her heart. She looked around and saw no one paying attention to her, so she brought her mouth close to the phone and softly said:
"Everything’s going smoothly, I won."
The phone played He Jinxia’s deliberately lowered voice, soft and glutinous, like a feather lightly scratching, causing a slight itch in Sheng Yan’s heart, his eyes deepening.
He looked down at the docunts in his hands but found that he couldn’t concentrate.
Sheng Yan simply put down the docunt and lowly said into the phone, "I regret it."
He Jinxia was stunned, "What?"
Sheng Yan: "I regret why I asked you to join the reality show. I should have kidnapped you for a vacation right after you finished filming."
The man’s voice was deep and llow, like an elegant cello slowly drawing across, making He Jinxia’s heart tranquilly soft.
She lowered her head, a smile crossing her face, knowing Sheng Yan was just joking.
Both of them were too busy to take a month off entirely for vacation, and besides her career was on the rise. Sheng Yan could only talk, and if ti were reversed, he wouldn’t really kidnap her for a vacation.
Even though she knew he was joking, his serious tone and uniquely charming voice tempted her:
"We could go to the Maldives, where the temperature is pleasant, with clear lakes and many leisure activities. There are many couples out and about; no one would find it strange to see us holding hands openly."
"We could also go to Paris, the city of romance, which is a shopping paradise for won, gathering all the world’s top luxury brands, and you can shop to your heart’s content."
"We could also visit the base of the Eiffel Tower and watch the pigeons that only fly in the sky; there are always a lot of birds landing there, not at all shy, and passersby can feed them anyti. We could take quiet walks by the Seine River, watching the dusk..."
"We could also visit country O, which has ten countries within it. Traveling by train from the easternmost country, you can cross to the westernmost country in just one day—it would be a ten-country journey. We’d sit on the train admiring the scenery, and whenever we’re tired of the view, we’d get off in whichever country we want to explore..."
Over the phone, Sheng Yan’s voice slowly ca through, bringing waves of warmth to He Jinxia’s heart, her smile growing even gentler.
Sotis she found it strange; before they were together, she thought Sheng Yan was a man of few words, but after they beca a couple, she discovered that Sheng Yan was actually quite talkative.
But listening to Aunt Rui’s occasional remarks, it seed that in her eyes, Sheng Yan embodied the word "indifferent" in both body and soul.
He Jinxia gently shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it if she couldn’t figure it out.
Whether Sheng Yan was indifferent or talkative, he was still the one she liked, not for his family, personality, or status... From start to finish, she loved Sheng Yan for who he was.
What He Jinxia didn’t know was that Sheng Yan wasn’t talkative by nature; he directed all his patience towards her and her alone.
Just as in the animal world, where males emit unique scents, dance, or display their plumage to attract a mate, Mr. Sheng was also deploying his tactics step by step to attract Miss He, performing acts that seemingly didn’t resemble him at all.
A person’s life is long, and ultimately, soone will appear who makes you change yourself just so they might care about you a little more.
He Jinxia opened the small shoulder bag she was carrying, took out a pair of earphones, and quickly plugged them into her phone, imdiately making a voice call to Sheng Yan.
He Jinxia, "What are you doing? How do I choose? I want to go to all the travel destinations you’ve ntioned."
Listening to the woman’s cautious voice, which also carried a hint of coquetry, Sheng Yan’s eyes darkened, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
He Jinxia’s face turned slightly embarrassed—what was so funny...?
Sheng Yan’s deep voice ca through, "You don’t need to keep them in mind—if not this year, then next year. If not next year, then the year after. Eventually, I’ll take you to each of the travel destinations I ntioned, one by one."
That statent was a bit too obvious.
If you want to travel, just find so ti off and go; why wait until next year or the year after?
When to go isn’t the point; the point is the capacity in which you go.
Softly by her ear, Sheng Yan asked, "Jinxia, is that okay?"
He Jinxia was silent for a mont, her hand tightening slightly around the phone as she whispered, "Okay."
The smile on Sheng Yan’s face grew even wider.
In the silence, emotions quietly ignited. He Jinxia’s heart raced, and she turned her head to look elsewhere, as if that could hide her blush.
After a while—which felt like a long ti—Sheng Yan suddenly said, "Jinxia."
He Jinxia quietly responded, "Hmm."
Sheng Yan, equally softly, said, "Do you feel that we..."
His words were so soft and slow that He Jinxia furrowed her brow, struggling to hear clearly.
"Feel that we what?" she continued in a soft voice.
Sheng Yan chuckled lightly, this ti not lowering his voice but returning it to normal volu, slowly saying, "Are like having an affair."
He Jinxia: "..."
