FV: Chapter 283

The director, “????”

The director looked at the speech on the barrage and thought, ‘Thank you for the invitation. You are the ones who want to see it, not me! We are a serious show! We don’t want to be taken off the shelves, okay?’

Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao had finished exploring the villa while the other guests still hadn’t successfully cleared the levels.

The two of them were bored so they simply watched TV.

On the other side, a guest finally made it past the shiatsu mat and came to the castle.

Due to the regulations of the show, Lin Luoqing might’ve allowed Ji Yuxiao to keep the drawing but it had to wait until after the castle session. Before then, his drawing will be kept and mixed in with the drawings of the other guests for the warriors to choose.

However, his drawing was so different that the two warriors who stepped into the castle couldn’t help lingering on it for a few seconds. Finally, they chose this drawing.

“Why did you choose this drawing?” The maid asked.

“Hahaha, it is because I think Yueyue is quite silly sometimes. This is a bit like her drawing style.”

The barrage laughed. Yueyue, who saw this part later, said, ‘Thank you, your girlfriend is no longer silly. I just want to carve you into a silly sculpture!’

Another guest who chose the drawing gave the same reason as Ji Yuxiao. “I’m so handsome that this must be me.”

Netizens continued to laugh. [You are too narcissistic!]

His girlfriend thought, ‘…You really don’t seem to have a clear understanding of yourself.’

It wasn’t until 5:30 in the after that all couples finally left the couple one after another. Netizens got to know everyone from their signatures.

The remaining four groups were the rising young actress Wang Ruhan and the newly emerging popular actor Nie Cheng; the second-tier actress Xu Yahui and the second-tier male star Qiu Pengpai; the young actress Yang Xinyue who had just debuted and the star Li Zhiyuan who had debuted for three years, and the other same-sex couple, Li Jiamao and Cai Shiyu.

The director saw that the four groups had left the castle according to the time he calculated and couldn’t help feeling that they were normal. It wasn’t like Ji Yuxiao, who was too crazy!

Once all the guests had chosen their houses and entered, it was almost 6;30. The director immediately arranged for the staff members to proceed to the next part—cooking.

Lin Luoqing had already guessed this part when he saw the refrigerator full of fruits and vegetables. What he didn’t guess was that they still played tricks with this simple cooking process.

“This is a couple bracelet specially made by the program group for each couple. It can be extended by up to one meter when placed on each person’s hand. Two teachers, please wear this and work together to prepare your favorite meal together.”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…isn’t this a bracelet to prevent a child from getting lost?’

He originally wanted to buy two for Lin Fei and Ji Leyu. Later, he found that both Lin Fei and Ji Leyu didn’t like to talk to others. They either stuck to him and Ji Yuxiao or Ji Leyu stuck to Lin Fei. They didn’t go to other places, so he didn’t buy them.

He didn’t expect that the little babies couldn’t use it, but the big baby would use them.

Lin Luoqing took it and turned to look at Ji Yuxiao. “Come here, big baby.”

Ji Yuxiao was amused by his title and replied, “Okay, little baby.”

Netizens shook off goosebumps. [It is so corny!]

[The two of you talk properly. Don’t be corny!]

[Hahaha, he called him Baby.]

[The other person called him Baby back [amused].]

[Don’t you think it is sweet?]

[Sweet is sweet, but it is a bit corny.]

[If you want to be corny then you should be corny. The little couple should be corny!]

[The upstairs person is so corny.]

[Hahahaha, the program team is quite able to do things. They can’t be one meter away from each other. I like it.]

[I also like it!]

The two of them put on their bracelets. They started to choose dishes and prepared to cook.

Ji Yuxiao wasn’t very good at cooking. Apart from the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that he learned earlier, the rest depended on luck. Whether to cook in the kitchen or explode the kitchen was just a matter of his thoughts.

Of course, the sugar-fried chestnuts that he practiced so hard for Lin Luoqing in the later stage didn’t count. It was just a snack, not a meal.

Therefore, he always listened to Lin Luoqing in such matters.

Lin Luoqing took out a tomato, three eggs and then a piece of tofu. He asked Ji Yuxiao to grab the green peppers and pork and the two of them went to the kitchen together.

“Go and steam the rice,” Lin Luoqing said.

Ji Yuxiao turned around to scoop up right. He walked a bit further. Lin Luoqing was washing the vegetables and was instantly dragged back two steps by him.

Lin Luoqing, “????”

Ji Yuxiao felt the pull on the bracelet. The moment he turned around, he found that the other person was a bit far from the sink and instantly laughed.

“Why are you laughing?” Lin Luoqing looked at him. “It is all your fault.”

Ji Yuxiao smiled and pulled the rope of the bracelet to pull Lin Luoqing toward him.

Lin Luoqing couldn’t help it. He walked over in a dumbfounded manner. “What are you doing?”

Ji Yuxiao replied, “Scoop rice with me.”

“Do you still need me to accompany you? Are you a child?”

Ji Yuxiao pretended to sigh. “Just now, you called me a big baby. Now you say that I’m not a child. Baby, your heart is really fickle.”

The barrage laughed. [Chairman Ji, you talk properly!]

[Chairman Ji, this is enough. You don’t look like a chairman!!!]

[Hahahaha, Chairman Ji’s tone made me laugh to death.]

[Chairman Ji is a really funny man.]

Lin Luoqing was amused by his words and touched his shoulder. “Talk properly.”

Ji Yuxiao smiled and lowered his head to scoop the rice. “How much should I scoop? Are two bowls enough?”

“That’s enough,” Lin Luoqing said.

After Ji Yuxiao scooped up the rice, he went to the sink with Lin Luoqing and started to wash the rice.

He finished washing it and put in an appropriate amount of water. Then Lin Luoqing started to wash the green peppers in his hand.

Ji Yuxiao steamed the rice. Then he consciously walked over to help Lin Luoqing wash the dishes.

Their fingers touched and Ji Yuxiao couldn’t help teasing him. Lin Luoqing laughed and played with him for a while. Then he returned to the kitchen counter with a smile on his face.

Ji Yuxiao turned off the tap and walked up to him with the remaining ingredients. He took the initiative to say, “I’ll beat the eggs.”

“Okay.”

“Look at it.” Ji Yuxiao looked at Lin Luoqing and picked up an egg. “I’ll show you a one-handed egg beating.”

Lin Luoqing saw that he could really beat eggs with one hand and applauded him in a flattering manner. “Awesome.”

Ji Yuxiao proudly cracked the remaining two eggs into the bowl and started beating them.

Lin Luoqing started to cut tofu.

His knife skills were good. The netizens saw it and said in surprise: [I didn’t expect Qing Qing to be able to cook.]

[This tofu is cut well. It is much better than mine.]

[With the husband and wife, work isn’t tiring.]

[They were elementary school chickens when washing the vegetables. Now I inexplicably have the feeling of old husbands.]

[Yes, the two of them look so happy.]

Ji Yuxiao finished beating the eggs. Then he turned around and saw that Lin Luoqing was still concentrating on cutting tofu. He leaned on the counter and admired it for a while.

Lin Luoqing looked up at him. “What are you doing?”

“I’m looking at you.”

Hearing this, Lin Luoqing didn’t say anything. He lowered his head again but his eyes showed a hint of a smile.

Ji Yuxiao saw the smile in his eyes, walked over and hugged him from behind.

Lin Luoqing, “???”

The barrage: [!!!!]

[Why did he suddenly hug?]

[Ahhh, this type of back hug is so sweet!]

[What I can’t bear the most is this type of hug from behind. Too cool!]

[Chairman Ji really wants to cling to him all the time.]

[Who doesn’t want to cling to Qing Qing? I also want to cling to Qing Qing.]

[Chairman Ji: Do you see the knife in my hand?]

[Hahaha. Chairman Ji: There are always people coveting my wife!]

[That’s why he has to hug Qing Qing even tighter!]

Lin Luoqing asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“I want to get closer to you so that the bracelet won’t affect your chopping.”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…You were standing very close just now!’

The netizens: [???]

[Bracelet: I carry this blame.]

[Program group: I never expected that the bracelet also has the function of shifting the blame onto it.]

[Bracelet: I have never seen such a brazen person!]

[Hahaha, Chairman Ji, just say it bluntly if you want to hug Qing Qing. We are all your own people and won’t laugh at you.]

[Chairman Ji: Am I the one who wants to hug? Obviously, it was the bracelet that made us get close [dog head].]

Lin Luoqing was helpless. He had to be held by this person and continue to cut tofu.

“How about I try it?” Ji Yuxiao suddenly suggested.

Lin Luoqing didn’t refuse and handed over the knife in his hand. “Be careful with your hands.”

“No problem.”

Ji Yuxiao replied. Then he carefully cut the tofu on the chopping board.

The tofu was very soft and the person in his arms was even softer. Ji Yuxiao cut it very carefully. It wasn’t as small as Lin Luoqing but it was still an even size.

“Good.” Lin Luoqing praised him.

The moment Ji Yuxiao heard this, he lowered his head to kiss Lin Luoqing on the face. “Thank you, Teacher Lin, for the compliment. I will continue to work hard.”

Lin Luoqing was caught off guard by him and turned to look at him. There was obvious surprise in his eyes. Ji Yuxiao smiled and dropped a kiss on his lips.

Lin Luoqing, “!!!”

Ji Yuxiao saw his wide eyes and hugged him tightly. “Don’t look at me anymore. I won’t be able to restrain myself and will have to kiss you again.”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing quickly lowered his head, his face a bit red.

Ji Yuxiao saw him like this and chuckled. He inwardly thought that Lin Luoqing was very cute.

The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned. [This this this, why is he kissing again?]

[Oh my god, Chairman Ji, you really don’t treat us as outsiders. You just kiss when you want to kiss.]

[How about it, how about it? I said that Chairman Ji is a good person. He knows that we all have low blood sugar, so he changed his method to give you sugar every day. Thank you, Chairman Ji!]

[Thank you, Chairman Ji. My sugar intake today is given by Chairman Ji!]

[Chairman Ji really isn’t hiding it. How long has it been since the recording started? He has kissed him several times!]

[Chairman Ji: Why cover it up? My wife is so sweet. I don’t want to cover it up!]

[Chairman Ji—Professional sugar distribution for 100 years.]

[Hahahaha, I thought Chairman Ji would be unable to let go during this type of variety show. I didn’t expect him to kiss and hug.]

[How can Chairman Ji not let go during this type of thing? When he recorded ‘Bright Sunday’ before, he was very open and full of love for Qing Qing’s emotional line.]

[Yes!! I entered the pit during that period! Chairman Ji really had no problem showing off his affection.]

[How do you know that Chairman Ji didn’t restrain himself? Maybe for Chairman Ji, this is already very restrained [amused].]

[F*k, thinking about it, this is really possible!]

[I don’t even want to drink my milk tea because it is so sweet. It is too sweet!]

[Passion is really good. It is a good taste.]

A meal was prepared very quickly. At around 7:20, Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao were already eating.

They cooked three dishes in total: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with green peppers and mapo tofu.

Netizens looked at it and felt hungry.

[No, I have to order takeout. I’m too hungry.]

[I want to eat stir-fried vegetables. The appearance of this dish looks good.]

[Looking at other couples, our Passion is the fastest.]

[Of course, the live broadcast room next door is about to fight.]

[??? Why fight?]

[Isn’t it because of  the couple’s bracelet? Wang Ruhan and Nie Cheng can’t cook. Wang Ruhan didn’t plan to eat while Nie Cheng wanted to eat. The two of them were bound so they had to enter the kitchen together. Wang Ruhan thought that Nie Cheng was making trouble and Nie Cheng thought that Wang Ruhan didn’t do anything when he was making an effort to cook. They argued, but they couldn’t separate. The two of them are still angry.]

[There are also Li Jiamao and Cai Shiyu. They both want to cook. One person thinks the other is wasting ingredients. The other suspects that the first person wants to make spicy dishes even though he can’t eat spicy dishes. The result is that they argued.]

[Oh my god, is it so lively?]

[Isn’t that right? For Qing Qing and Chairman Ji, this couple’s bracelet is used to cling to each other and show affection. Once it is used on these two groups, it forcibly pushes down their head [covers face].]

[Hahaha, but people interested in fun have come over due to their quarrel. The number of people in the live broadcast rooms over there has risen somewhat.]

[Really? I just went to take a look. It is almost one-tenth of our number. It isn’t even a fraction of ours. Are you serious?]

[Of course, I’m serious. It is just that there are too many people on our side. Qing Qing is a top artist and Chairman Ji is top in the CP circle. It is normal to have many viewers.]

[Yes, in particular, Qing Qing and Chairman Ji are so good-looking. Those who simply want to see romance will want to see them more.]

[Yes, I just clicked in by accident. I thought this side was more beautiful, so I kept watching.]

[Me too.]

[Sure enough, our Passion is the best. Long live Passion!]

[Hooray!]

It was a pity that these cheers didn’t last long. At 9 o’clock in the evening, Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao received a new task card. This time, the task was very simple. The couple should have a night talk. They needed to take a shower, change into pajamas and then lie on the bed to chat.

This part wouldn’t be aired live. The program intended to put it in the episode to increase the ratings. Lin Luoqing nodded, looked at the camera in the master bedroom and showed a gentle smile.

The netizens instantly became alert. [What is he planning to do? Is he going to turn off the camera?!]

[Calm down. We are all their own people. If you have something to say, don’t be impulsive.]

[Ahhhh Qing Qing, don’t come here!]

“You should be recording, right?” Lin Luoqing looked at the camera. “Right?”

Netizens: [No no no, you are thinking too much.]

[Don’t look at this side. Go take a shower and sleep.]

[That’s right. Take off your clothes, take off your clothes.]

Lin Luoqing smiled. “Yes, I see the power button. It is indeed on. So next, hehehehe.”

[Oh my god! Stop!!! Don’t come here!!!}

[Leave the machine alone, please!]

[I just want to watch a night show in a humble way. Is there anything wrong with me?!]

[Water knows when a fish cries, but Qing Qing, you definitely don’t know when I cry!]

Lin Luoqing smiled and waved. “Bye bye.”

There was a sound and the machine in the room instantly turned off.

The cameraman following him watched him take the initiative to turn off the camera in his room, and also turned off his camera very cooperatively. “I will go downstairs and wait for a while. Tell us when you take a shower and change your clothes. Then we will shoot the rest of the content.”

“Are you still coming?” Lin Luoqing wondered. “Can’t you shoot using the machine in the room?”

“We have to take a few photos and a short video to promote it. It will be quick and we won’t bother you too much,” the cameraman said.

Lin Luoqing nodded. “Okay.”

The netizens who were forced to quit the live broadcast room shouted sadly in the comments area. [Why?! Why?! I was only one step away from success!]

[Obviously, it is time to change clothes and take a shower. Why turn it off at this time?!]

[Program group, can you still do it? Quickly start the machine again!]

[Director, are you sleeping? I can’t sleep.]

[Please, give this child some resources. This child is willing to pay to watch.]

[I am a distinguished VIP. Why are you treating me like this?!!!]
