The man had a charming temperament, with clear facial contours and sharp, defined features that were nonetheless soft and delicate. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile.
That smile revealed a hint of rebelliousness and confidence, giving people a feeling that was both familiar and strange.
He was the mysterious guest that Director Hao Dou had gone to great lengths to invite.
Chi Xian'an.
Born into a top-tier wealthy family in the Imperial Capital, he was a legend in the e-sports circle who had once led his team to win countless world championships.
However, at the most glorious moment of his career, he suddenly announced his retirement, causing a massive stir throughout the e-sports industry and leaving countless people feeling surprised and regretful.
But what about him personally?
When asked about the reason for his retirement, he simply said indifferently: No opponents, no challenges.
His appearance here on 《Chosen Working Star》 was his first public appearance since leaving the e-sports circle.
In just one morning, his tens of millions of e-sports fans had rushed over, making him the guest with the most fans on this variety show.
At this moment, the bullet comments had already exploded.
【Ahhh, blood!】
【Ang Ge is hurt, someone come quickly, call 120!】
【But I think he looks quite energetic, why is he still smiling? Could it be... a final burst of energy before death?】
【What a sinful act! Is he going to die on his first day in the entertainment industry?】
……
The bizarre style of these bullet comments left some passersby dumbfounded.
Are these people... really fans of Chi Xian'an?
Or are they anti-fans?
On site.
The on-set cameraman was terrified, screaming as he rushed over to hug Chi Xian'an.
"Ah, President Chi, why are you bleeding so much?"
"President Chi, you aren't going to die, are you?"
"Ah, President Chi, you can't die!"
"……"
Lu Ling didn't speak, just watched their performance indifferently.
She had thought that the two of them were singing in harmony, preparing to Peng Ci her.
Unexpectedly, Chi Xian'an pushed away the wailing cameraman and flicked the bloodstains off his body with his hand.
"It's not my blood."
The tricycle was loaded with meat, and he had just fallen into the cargo bed and gotten some blood on him.
He wasn't injured.
He glanced at Lu Ling and said:
"No need to go to the hospital."
Well, people with high appearance value really do have good hearts.
Lu Ling: Hee hee.
She swung her long legs back onto the electric scooter, preparing to leave.
Unexpectedly, Chi Xian'an suddenly changed the subject.
"Just pay the compensation."
Lu Ling was instantly not hee hee anymore.
Damn it.
As expected, one shouldn't have hope for men.
……
Ten minutes later.
Inside the barbecue restaurant.
Chi Xian'an pointed to a large basin of diced meat and bamboo skewers in front of him, looking at Lu Ling with a grin as he spoke.
"Start."
Lu Ling: "……"
Chi Xian'an stared at her, the corners of his mouth curving up.
"We wouldn't have gotten to know each other without this collision; this is fate between us."
"Talking about money is so vulgar; just help me work for a day."
He made a gesture to Lu Ling, "Cheer Up!"
Lu Ling also smiled at him.
Her smile hid 'tears'.
So miserable.
The live stream viewers couldn't bear to watch anymore.
【Ah, Ang Ge is too much of a dog, right?】
【An Gou, you are shameless.】
【An Gou, do you not know how to cherish the fair sex?】
【Woo woo, the Little Sister is so pitiful.】
【An Gou, you are not acting like a human.】
……
Lu Ling looked at Chi Xian'an pitifully, then lowered her head and started working.
She picked up the diced meat with her left hand and the skewer with her right.
She gestured several times but couldn't skewer it.
Her pair of innocent, large eyes looked at Chi Xian'an, "President Chi, I don't know how."
"What?" Chi Xian'an had a question mark face.
"You don't know how?"
Lu Ling nodded frantically: "Yeah."
"I don't know how."
Chi Xian'an: "……"
He took a bamboo skewer and some diced meat, skewered one, and demonstrated it for Lu Ling.
Lu Ling watched very carefully, but after watching, she started shaking her head again.
"Still haven't learned."
"President Chi, can you teach me hand-in-hand?"
Chi Xian'an: "……"
Lu Ling said with （teary eyes）: "Please."
Chi Xian'an: ┓( ´∀` )┏
"Alright then."
He walked over, reached out, and grabbed a skewer at the same time as Lu Ling.
Lu Ling's left hand held the diced meat.
Then, the moment the bamboo skewer was about to poke the meat, her left hand suddenly shook.
The skewer poked her finger.
"Ah!" Lu Ling screamed, clutching her hand and lying down.
She rolled on the ground in pain.
"Work injury, work injury!"
"Pay up!"
"Ah—"
Chi Xian'an: "……"
The netizens in the live stream room laughed like crazy.
【Hahaha, beautiful, using his own methods against him, awesome!】
【An Gou, you have today too （laughing until crying）.】
【A master, this is a master!】
【Wild Guest: Sister will teach you what Peng Ci is.】
【Wild Guest: Let's see who can be crazier than whom?】
【These two are a real crazy couple, a match made in heaven.】
……
The final result was.
Chi Xian'an was skewering meat, and Lu Ling was eating sunflower seeds on the side.
At the beginning.
Lu Ling: "Cheer Up, Cheer Up!"
After a while.
"Hey, what kind of speed is this? Isn't it too slow?"
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Ten minutes later.
"Not brother, are you capable or not?"
"With this speed of yours, can you treat me to lunch?"
"……"
Chi Xian'an: (?_?)
The baby is suffering inside!
After a while, Lu Ling couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, and left.
Chi Xian'an thought she had given up on making him treat her to lunch.
Unexpectedly, in less than a minute, Lu Ling returned, holding a steamer rack.
Chi Xian'an: "What are you doing with that?"
"Helping you improve efficiency," Lu Ling said.
Under Chi Xian'an's dumbfounded gaze, she scooped a spoonful of diced meat onto the steamer rack and then picked up a skewer.
She placed the diced meat over the round hole of the rack, then poked the skewer into the hole, and it went through.
Chi Xian'an was so shocked his pupils dilated.
Equally shocked were the netizens in the live stream room.
【Holy crap, awesome!】
【Learned it, learned it.】
【I, who have been doing barbecue for thirty years, am in silence.】
【Seller of the skewer-making artifact: This is easy to fail at, and, and, not Director, please delete this segment.】
……
Before Chi Xian'an could recover, Lu Ling had already skewered several meat skewers.
Then, she handed the steamer rack to Chi Xian'an.
"Use this."
"Hurry up."
Chi Xian'an subconsciously reached out to take it and started to learn to skewer using Lu Ling's previous movements.
Sure enough, the efficiency was much higher.
Chi Xian'an exclaimed while quickly skewering the meat.
"Amazing, amazing, Qiu Ya, you really are a little Jiling."
Lu Ling: "……"
【One 'Qiu Ya' after another, you say it quite smoothly.】
【It's so frustrating, can't you just ask for her name?】
【Yeah, yeah, what is the Little Sister's name anyway?】
……
The bullet comments were all arguing for Chi Xian'an to ask for Lu Ling's name.
The Director, however, was about to go crazy.
One was already a headache, how did another one go crazy?
He directly ordered Chi Xian'an to get rid of Lu Ling.
Chi Xian'an held the walkie-talkie and replied loudly.
"Received, received, over!"
After putting down the walkie-talkie, he looked at Lu Ling with a smile.
"Yo, lunch time is here."
"Hungry, right Qiu Ya? Let's go, brother will take you to eat."
Director: "……"
