Meanwhile, Qi Heng was thinking about how to make Qin Wanyin voluntarily withdraw from the recording.
Seeing her so resistant to cooking, a playful glint flickered in his deep, dark eyes:
“Qin Wanyin, you’re not afraid of losing, are you?”
“Not exactly,” Qin Wanyin sighed weakly. “I’m just afraid you won’t eat it, and I’d lose face.”
“Don’t worry, as long as you cook it, I’ll eat it.”
Qin Wanyin had no choice but to agree, adding, “But I can’t stand waste.”
Qi Heng smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, we’ll finish every last bite.”
He knew Qin Wanyin well—she couldn’t cook, so she was bound to lose. Making her stay in the shabby room for one night would surely make her pack up and leave the next day without recording.
That suited him just fine.
The production team led the four female guests to the kitchen.
“Guests, please play rock-paper-scissors to decide the order for selecting ingredients. There are no restrictions on ingredient usage.”
This meant the unlucky one who went last might end up with nothing.
Rock-paper-scissors required luck.
Qin Wanyin had none of that.
Unsurprisingly, she was the chosen unlucky one~
Liu Yiyi took the lobster and other side dishes.
Xiao Nan took the steak and butter.
When it came to the wealthy little princess Aili, things were different.
She walked in with her head held high, directing the staff:
“Take it all, I want everything.”
The audience: 【Is she here to stock up?】
Because of this, by the time it was Qin Wanyin’s turn to enter, there was almost nothing left.
Only a few green onion leaves remained on the table.
Seeing this, Liu Yiyi spoke up, “Aili, why don’t you share some ingredients with Sister Wanyin? Otherwise, she’ll end up last today!”
Aili had actually considered doing just that.
But precisely because Liu Yiyi said it, she changed her mind. “Why should I?”
Liu Yiyi blinked her innocent eyes. “Sister Wanyin, don’t lose heart. I don’t have many ingredients, but I can share half with you.”
【Yiyi is so kind!】
【Aili is going too far. She took so many ingredients—so selfish! Yiyi has much better character!】
Qin Wanyin didn’t respond.
She covered her face, her shoulders trembling, and ran out of the kitchen.
“What should we do? Sister Wanyin seems upset.”
Liu Yiyi blamed herself.
“Maybe I should give all my ingredients to her! I’ve always been like a boy since I was little—I’m not picky about beds. I can sleep in Room 4!”
The audience was heartbroken.
【Yiyi, ignore that drama queen! If anyone’s to blame, it’s her bad luck!】
【Exactly! If she can’t handle it, she shouldn’t play. Why is she crying? Qin, the homewrecker, is so pretentious!】
Of course, Qin Wanyin had to cover her face and run.
She was afraid that if she stayed a moment longer, she’d burst out laughing!
Not getting any ingredients was perfect!
Because she had already decided what “delicious dish” she was going to make for Qi Heng!
#Qin Wanyin Cries After Failing to Get Ingredients#
This was a sensational hot search topic!
The director kicked the cameraman. “What are you standing around for? Hurry up and follow her!”
The cameraman rushed after her, but Qin Wanyin was nowhere to be seen outside.
7 p.m.
The female guests had finished cooking their dishes.
Each dish was brought out anonymously.
They were: cheese-baked lobster, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, steak, and hot pot.
Just then, a roaring sound echoed through the air.
The guests looked over curiously.
They saw a cloud of yellow dust rising from the village’s dirt road as a flashy red off-road racing car pulled up in front of the villa.
The car door opened, and a tall young man stepped out.
His hair fluttered lightly as he took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of blue eyes.
This is the third male guest, Chi Lie.
Half Chinese and half Italian, he is the youngest racing driver in the country. He once flew solo over the Death Canyon, setting a world record.
The wind tousled his hair as he held a large bouquet of roses, vibrant and crimson, lending a touch of youthful innocence to his bold and striking features.
【This contrast is absolutely stunning!】
【Chi Lie! My husband! The boy I love is walking toward me with flowers, but I’m not the bride—I’m so jealous!】
【Ooh! Who is Chi Lie going to give the flowers to?】
Amid the anticipation in the comments, Chi Lie walked over to Liu Yiyi and handed her the flowers.
“Yiyi, long time no see.”
Liu Yiyi took the flowers and happily hugged Chi Lie. “Yeah, it’s been two years since we last met! You’ve grown taller again!”
【Whoa! The younger one doesn’t call her ‘sister’—things are getting wild!】
【I’m shipping this pair!】
Qi Heng’s eyes darkened, his expression grim.
Beneath the tense atmosphere, undercurrents surged, thrilling the audience.
Just then, a voice rang out.
“—Hurry and put the flowers away!”
Chi Lie turned toward the sound.
He saw a woman riding a bull, charging toward him through a cloud of dust.
It was Qin Wanyin.
Qin Wanyin held a plate in one hand and gripped the bull with the other, standing tall like the Statue of Liberty (or rather, a cowgirl) in the United States—absurdity layered upon absurdity.
Her mount—Niu Chacha—was three years old.
This was a bull borrowed from a local villager.
Not far away, the bouquet of 99 vibrant red roses symbolized money and love in human eyes.
But for Niu Chacha, it was like the red cloth in a Spanish bullring.
Whether the recipient of the roses was moved or not remained unknown.
But Niu Chacha was certainly excited.
Niu Chacha’s hooves kicked up dust as it charged toward the flowers.
The city-dwelling guests had never seen a crazed bull before, and they stood frozen as if their feet were rooted to the ground.
Even a silly deer would say: So foolish, so foolish.
Thankfully, the female lead reacted quickly.
Liu Yiyi swiftly tossed the flowers in her hands back to Chi Lie.
Vividly illustrating the old saying: Couples are like birds in the same forest; when danger strikes, they fly their separate ways!
Qin Wanyin on the bull’s back: “…”
This show can’t have any casualties—if someone dies, it’ll be canceled!
—She didn’t care about food or vegetables, nor did she care about human lives. All she knew was that if the variety show got axed, her pension would be gone.
Like a worried mother, she desperately tugged at the bull’s horns, trying to change its course.
But this rebellious bull was too stubborn, charging straight toward Chi Lie.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Wanyin leaped off the bull.
With a swift kick, she sent the bouquet flying from Chi Lie’s hands!
Niu Chacha’s attention was drawn to the flowers soaring through the air. Its four hooves skidded to a halt on the yellow earth, but due to momentum, its horns still aimed straight for Chi Lie’s face.
“Watch out!”
Qin Wanyin acted decisively, one hand supporting Chi Lie’s neck and the other slipping under his knees, lifting him in a princess carry and narrowly avoiding the bull’s horns.
The scattered rose petals danced in the air.
Qin Wanyin’s dark hair billowed in the wind, intertwining with Chi Lie’s black locks. Their gazes met and clashed in mid-air, creating a romantic atmosphere reminiscent of an idol drama, even without any spinning.
Chi Lie’s throat tightened.
Staring at the serene face above him, his heart pounded fiercely in his chest.
There was an indescribable sense of familiarity.
【Why am I shipping this?!】
【This scene is so heart-fluttering!】
【This is the kind of dating show I, a VIP, deserve to watch!】
Okay, but this romantic atmosphere didn’t even last a second.
Qin Wanyin abruptly let go of her hands.
Then she rubbed her arm, “I’m so delicate, I can’t even hold someone properly!”
Chi Lie: “…”
The audience: “…”
The system: “…”
Even though the character can’t break character, this transition is way too abrupt!
