Chapter 141: Tea Words

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the evening, Meng Chuyuan and the others walked back in the afterglow, admiring the natural beauty of the town along the way.

The street lights lit up as night fell. The lake surface glowed with a faint blue light, and the reflection of the houses appeared on the water.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the willow branches on the shore swayed with the wind, making rustling sounds. A group of people was walking slowly on the street.

“Is Brother Qi coming back tonight?” Ting Jiu suddenly thought of this and asked curiously, “Will I be free tomorrow?”

Qi Yan walked in front and maintained a distance of about a meter from them.

Ting Jiu’s words were casual but crucial, and Qi Yan happened to hear them.

She had almost forgotten that Qi Zhen was coming back.

“Freedom?” When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she asked in confusion, “Are you leaving?”

Ting Jiu suddenly turned around and walked backward as he said to Meng Chuyuan, “No, I’ll continue recording for the remaining two days, but the production team doesn’t seem to have arranged a partner for me…” He had agreed so readily previously that he had forgotten to ask the director who he wanted to be in the same group with after Qi Zhen returned.

[Poor Little Jiu Jiu. It feels like he’s just a tool being used by the production team. Hahaha, they threw him away after using him.]

[It’s fine. The director will definitely arrange for a partner.]

[Our Little Jiu Jiu is in high demand. The sales of that candy in the afternoon increased immediately. This is a proper advertising prince. The sponsors will definitely support him to stay.]

[If things really end up not working out, just follow Sister Meng. Who can bear to see such a cute little brother alone?]

Meng Chuyuan suddenly smiled at him meaningfully and said calmly, “If you don’t walk properly, no one will be able to pull you out of the water if you fall in later.”

Because he was focused on chatting with Meng Chuyuan, his confident steps no longer had any sense of direction. He had started to walk sideways.

Hearing this, Ting Jiu was greatly shocked. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. He was about to step into the soil.

They followed the guidelines of the production team and came to the place where they were supposed to eat the hotpot. Then, they handed in the exchange vouchers for free food to the people there. Hence, someone brought them to sit down.

Qi Yan had also come with them. Coincidentally, there were four people at a table. When they sat down, because Ting Jiu was unwilling to sit with her, Meng Chuyuan sat beside her in the end.

After the menu was placed on the table, Meng Chuyuan habitually handed the menu to others and let them order first.

“See what you want to eat.” She followed the ladies first rule and handed the menu to Qi Yan.

When Qi Yan saw the menu appear in front of her, she looked up and a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.

She looked at Meng Chuyuan in confusion and did not bring the menu over immediately.

“Why are you looking at me? We don’t need to spend money. Order whatever you want.” Meng Chuyuan was almost amused by her reaction. Fortunately, she held her laughter in.

The last time their team won dinner, they got a free bottle of Maotai. Today’s menu was paid for, it was only a matter of ordering whatever they wanted.

Qi Yan thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense. Then, she took the menu from Meng Chuyuan and ordered some of her favorite dishes

Ting Jiu said, “It’s my turn.”

Everyone took turns ordering dishes before sitting down to wait for the ingredients to be served.

“The benefits that this production team provides are quite good. They actually arranged hotpot for us.” Ting Jiu felt the hospitality of the production team and already had the thought of staying.

Occasionally, he would not have to cook for himself and would even be served. This feeling was not bad.

Meng Chuyuan smiled and replied, “How is it? Have you relaxed a little since you came to film the variety show?”

Ting Jiu looked up and saw Qi Yan sitting opposite him. He did not manage to relax at all.

He was even a little dissatisfied. “You call this relaxing? I’m not even this tired when I play professionally. My teammate is too weak for me to carry them.” During the past two days of doing missions with Qi Yan, Ting Jiu felt restrained no matter what he did.

Qi Yan frowned unhappily and asked coldly, “What do you mean?”

[Little Jiu Jiu’s gaze just now. I can feel it even through the screen. Hahaha.]

[I’m rich from laughing. My teammate is too weak for me to carry them. Is this something that can be openly said?]

[Bear with it a little longer. Happiness will knock on your door tomorrow.]

[Although, to be honest, I don’t know how they feel. Anyway, I’m quite relaxed watching the live-stream.]

[Actually, Ting Jiu and Qi Yan are quite interesting. Without them, the audience will have less fun.]

Seeing her cold expression, Ting Jiu said casually, “You’re not my teammate. I’m not qualified to guide you.”

Qi Yan: ‘

At this moment, the Liao sisters returned home to rest for a while before heading to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Liao Jiayan was the first to appear in the kitchen. Seeing that the bowl piled up from the afternoon had not been washed, she rolled up her sleeves and washed the bowls in the basin first, cleaning up the leftovers.

The two of them argued for a while after they closed the live-stream at noon.

They were not in the mood to organize these things, so it piled up until night.

Coincidentally, the cameraman was following Liao Jiake, so the audience did not see the messy kitchen.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, Liao Jiayan took out the ingredients and washed them.

Not long after, Liao Jiake appeared.

When she saw Liao Jiayan cutting lotus roots in the kitchen, she took the initiative to find something to do.

Sensing that Liao Jiake had entered, she did not make a sound and continued to cut the shredded potatoes as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that there were still onions in the plastic bag, Liao Jiake went to the chopping board to cut the onions. In the end, her eyes turned red.

After Liao Jiayan finished cutting the lotus root, she saw that her sister was blinking crazily but her hands didn’t stop moving.

She stood at the side and watched for two to three seconds. She couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid of cutting your hand?”

Her actions were a little dangerous. Moreover, the onion in Liao Jiake’s hand was a brand new one. It was round and could easily roll to the side if she did not hold it down properly.

Liao Jiayan put down the knife in her hand and walked over to her side. She took the initiative to take over her work. “Let me do it. You go and do something else.”

[Who said that Yan Yan is insensible? She still cares about her sister.]

[It feels strange to see the two of them alone now. They haven’t spoken much all day. My younger sister also feels indifferent.]

[Ke Ke’s action just now was still too dangerous. How could she close her eyes and cut the onions? What if she hurt her hand?]

[Why do I feel that Yan Yan is more like the big sister? She’s quite good at taking care of people.]

Actually, when Meng Chuyuan took the initiative to invite them to hotpot just now, Liao Jiayan felt that it was not a bad idea. It wouldn’t be bad for them to agree too.

Now that she was back, at home she had to cook for herself. She didn’t want to spend too much time alone with Liao Jiake, so she hid in the kitchen.

Liao Jiake raised her head and looked at her with red eyes. She said gratefully, “Yan Yan, sorry to trouble you. I’m useless. I can’t even cut the onions well..”
