Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 341 Time Management Has Reached Perfection (9k)

Not long after we transported all the radishes back to the Mushroom House and exchanged them for money with the program crew, today’s dinner was freshly prepared.

Everyone came to the pavilion and prepared to eat.

Song Qian ordered the braised chicken, Nazha ordered the big plate chicken, Aibao ordered the sweet and sour pork, and Li Yitong ordered the nine-turn large intestine.

There are Dongbai cuisine, Xijiang cuisine, and Shadong cuisine.

However, Shen Juan still didn’t quite believe in Lei Zi’s cooking skills: She could cook some home-cooked meals, but could she master so many cuisines?
Just because he is in the entertainment industry and has a persona that describes him as a cook, it doesn't mean he really has the qualities and business abilities of a professional chef.

Apart from anything else, Jia Bing and Zhang Liang should be much better than him.

Of course this is indeed the case.

Except for the braised chicken and big plate chicken, other dishes such as sweet and sour pork and nine-turn large intestine were not very popular.
It would be despised even if it was put on the table.

After all, they witnessed the whole process of Leizi making sweet and sour pork with their own eyes.

It's really weird.
Especially the part where you stir the egg liquid by hand.

It's just like using the egg liquid in the bowl to wash your hands, or to put it bluntly, it's like mixing it with pig food, which instantly makes you lose your appetite.

As for the Nine-Turn Large Intestine, it is even more amazing. Not to mention eating it, just looking at it smells stinky as if there is snow.

Others may not know, but Shen Juan noticed that Leizi used the water used to blanch the large intestine to make a marinade and poured it on the dish.

God damn it!

Doesn’t that mean it’s not blanched?
The original soup and original food are really good!
If Lei Zi was Yu Tao who had been planning for a long time and deliberately took this opportunity to take revenge on everyone, then Shen Juan was really curious about who among those present was Li Zongsheng with an embarrassed look on his face, who was Cao Kefan who was gritting his teeth, and who was Liu Yifan who seemed to be thinking about something.

He definitely won't eat it anyway.

"Welcome Yitong, Tianai, Nazha, and Xixi. Welcome to the Mushroom House today."

As the host, Huang Lei was the first to stand up and clink glasses with everyone to express his welcome. Shen Juan and others also stood up and returned the toast.

"welcome!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Huang."

"Thank you, Mr. Huang! Thank you, Mr. He!"

"Thank you Peng Peng! Thank you sister Zi Feng!"

"Thank you, Shen Juan!" Nazha, Aibao and Li Yitong were competing with each other to clink glasses with Shen Juan and express their gratitude.

Wajuan's Hyuga family bloodline also broke out again.

After the meal officially started, while everyone was chatting, the three little ones in the Mushroom House, who had rich survival experience, quietly sped up their eating.

While there are still a lot of edible food left, hurry up and eat more, so as to avoid being called to take a poison test later.

"Peng Peng, it doesn't matter how many dumplings you eat, but you can't even count how many potstickers you eat."

"It's hard for you to not eat such food. Now I understand why you gained weight." Li Yitong also laughed.

Peng Peng pointed at Shen Juan and Zhang Zifeng sheepishly: "Brother Juan and sister must eat more than me!"

“But they’re not fat!”

The smile on Peng Peng's face disappeared instantly and shifted to Shen Juan and Zhang Zifeng's faces. He felt a little uncomfortable being criticized by Teacher He.

"My current weight is actually not bad. If I want to lose weight, I can lose it quickly. The main reason is that I haven't taken any acting jobs recently."

"In that case, let's try the Nine-Turn Large Intestine made by Teacher Huang!" Shen Juan joked, enjoying the fun.

"Why don't you eat?" Peng Peng was anxious.

"He doesn't like eating large intestines. He told me." Huang Lei hurried to help Shen Juan out, fearing that this gentleman would feel dissatisfied and initiate an obedience test on him. Even when Xiaotian came to take over the shift some time ago, he treated this lady well, fearing that he would anger her and tell Shen Juan about it.

"Then..." Peng Peng subconsciously looked at He Jiong, only to see that Teacher He, who always took charge of things in the past, immediately lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

Then he looked at the female guests and saw that several of them were pretending to be busy but no one knew what they were busy with.

Nazha was studying the patterns on the porcelain bowl, Zhang Tianai was playing with her fingers, and Li Yitong was talking to the lantern, which was the Muscovy duck.

Finally, she looked at her good sister Zhang Zifeng, only to see her also smiling silly and drinking the newly opened bottle of Telunsu.

Good news: He didn’t have to try poison this time.

Bad news: This time he'll have to eat snow.

What the hell! I'm throwing you Rem! I'm throwing you a lung!

Chef Huang said to Peng Peng with a kind look on his face: "Peng Peng, please taste it first. This dish took quite a long time to prepare."

There was no other way, Peng Peng could only stretch out his chopsticks with difficulty and tremblingly pick up a piece and put it into the bowl, looking embarrassed.

"Mr. Huang, have you tasted it yourself?"

"I tasted a piece when it came out of the pot." Chef Huang couldn't help laughing when he thought about what Peng Peng would taste next.

"what about the taste?"

"I removed most of the fishy smell, but I kept some of it. I think only by keeping some of the original taste can we taste the purest and most simple taste of the ingredients. In fact, this is just like when we act. No matter how we interpret it, it will not be as effective as returning to its original nature."

"Mr. Huang, did you keep it on purpose?"

"I left some of it behind during the cleansing process."

"Is it intentional or accidental?"

"It was intentional."

"."

No tricks.

After all, not everyone is qualified to fight against Huang Lei’s hegemonic rule in the Mushroom House as strongly as Shen Juan, so under the gazes of everyone with either curiosity, expectation or complex pity, poor Peng Peng can only die bravely.

After taking a bite, his pupils contracted instantly and his brows furrowed, but then he didn't know what he thought of and his face showed a look of comfort and enjoyment.

"Wow! This intestine is really delicious! Would you like to try it? It's quite chewy!"

"Forget it. I have an allergic colon and can't enjoy it." Shen Juan smiled slightly and brought the women to his front.

"Oh, this. I can't do that. I'm filming a movie recently and I have to control my weight. I think this is still too greasy."

Seeing this, the girls shook their heads to reject Peng Peng's "good intentions", especially Li Yitong, the "originator" of this dish, who huddled behind Shen Juan and trembled, fearing that she, the person who ordered the dish, would be asked to taste the dish herself. If this matter got out, she would never be able to stay in the fan circle again.

"Then let's go to Teacher Huang. Teacher Huang has worked hard cooking today and hasn't eaten anything. Although I know that Teacher Huang always says that he has no appetite after cooking, I think he still needs to eat something to replenish his strength." Shen Juan suddenly turned the gun and aimed it at Huang Lei.

"No, I know what it tastes like." Huang Lei quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Really? You can try it! Teacher Huang, you have to be confident in your cooking skills! We all believe in you!"

"Yes! Believe it!" Peng Peng quickly agreed.

“This is not a question of self-confidence.”

"What's the problem?"

Huang Lei looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

Shen Juan couldn't wait any longer, so he simply walked over, used Huang Lei's chopsticks to pick up a piece of large intestine and put it in his bowl.

"There's nothing to hesitate about! Mr. Huang, you're such a good cook, there's no reason why you would take so long to eat the food you cooked."

"Then this."

Huang Lei looked at the black stuff in his bowl and was immediately reminded of the disgusting fishy smell he smelled when he was processing the ingredients. He really didn't dare to eat it.

But in order to maintain his perfect image as "Chef Huang" in front of the camera, he had to force himself to swallow it.

then
Then he had a blank expression on his face the whole time, as if he had drunk a mouthful of tasteless boiled water, as if he had not tasted anything.

Finally, he said, "I'm going to take a shower first, you guys take your time eating," and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing that Huang Lei had broken through the defense and ran away, Teacher He smoothly shifted the topic back to Shen Juan.

"Oh, by the way, has Xiaojuan taken any acting jobs recently?"

"My new movie will start shooting in two days." Shen Juan raised his head, took the tissue handed to him by Aibao and wiped his mouth.

"What movie?" Victoria Song asked.

“A film with a bit of fantasy romance.”

"I know what it is!" Li Yitong raised her hand and answered: "It's adapted from the MV you and I starred in, right?"

Looking at the girl who was smiling at him with curved eyes, Shen Juan also smiled, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of the drink - because he was not endorsing Telunsu, the only things he drank in the Mushroom House were boiled water and the drinks he brought with him. He couldn't avoid poison testing by drinking Telunsu like Zhang Zifeng did.

"Didn't I make it public a long time ago?"

“But some people don’t know!”

"Yes, I didn't know!"

Although Victoria Song had no intention of entering Shen Juan's fish pond, Shen Juan's conditions were indeed excellent, but in order to avoid being accused of being an old cow eating young grass, and also to narrow her core social circle and reduce unnecessary female competition, she still did not want to date this brother who was 11 years younger than her.

However, under the premise of not affecting her own interests, she is still willing to help her fellow villagers in Shadong.

After all, compared to Nazha who pretends to be naive and innocent and Zhang Tianai who has a lot of little thoughts, Li Yitong is more likable.

"I've also acted in a music video with you, why not adapt 'Exchange of Remaining Lives'? This parallel universe story setting is quite interesting." Whenever Zhang Tianai hears this song or mentions its name, he will instantly recall all the interesting things that happened during their filming.

Although it was not unforgettable, the scene where Shen Juan pulled her into the swimming pool and revealed his true thoughts still left her with endless aftertaste.

"I think the MV for 'Seven' that we shot in Los Angeles is also very suitable for being adapted into a romantic comedy movie. For example, although we are in love, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters will occur as soon as we meet. However, at the end of the movie, we still overcome all kinds of hardships and embrace each other."

Nazha was not to be outdone and expressed her ideas about the film adaptation, and it seemed as if she was trying to confront Zhang Tianai.

"I seem to have seen a similar movie." Shen Juan's childhood memories buried deep in his brain were awakened.

"what?"

"In Hancock, the national superhero starring Will Smith, the closer the male and female superheroes are to each other, the weaker their abilities become."

“I haven’t seen it”

"I've seen it!" Zhang Tianai glanced at Nazha, who was looking a little annoyed beside him, and his expression looked very proud.

He Jiong felt that the topic of conversation seemed to be straying towards female competition again, so he quickly changed the subject that was destined to be cut and led everyone in playing idiom chain games. Song Qian, who left the stage to the other three during the day, also made a marriage declaration to the national audience in front of the camera.

"Xixi is 32 this year, but in my eyes she is still like a little child. Time flies so fast," said Teacher He.

"Yeah, come to think of it, I've been in the industry for ten years!"

Victoria Song also felt a little emotional. From the first Chinese captain of Kpop to an ordinary domestic entertainment actor, from the Winnie couple to "if you have treasures, you will always meet some wolves", she has experienced the ups and downs of life, and her mentality has become much calmer and peaceful than before.

"Ten years passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, I was shocked!"

"Where is Xiao Juan? How many years has he been in the industry?" He Jiong looked at Shen Juan who was chatting with Li Yitong about making a cameo appearance in a movie.

“I was born in 98 and I’m 21 this year. If Hip Hop in China can be counted as a debut, I’ve been debuting for about two years.”

"very young!"

Since Song Qian and Shen Juan have no conflict of interest, they can express their envy without reservation: "He is the typical young celebrity! He was very popular when he was 19 years old, and now he is famous all over the world and he is not even 21 years old. Shen Juan, do you know who you remind me of?"

"Who?"

"Justin Bieber, I debuted in 09 and he also became popular in those years. Your development paths are so similar!"

"I was just born in the right era." Shen Juan said modestly.

He was indeed born in the right era. The traffic bonus from a hit variety show allowed him to complete the initial accumulation before going to the United States. Otherwise, in the download era when the Internet was far less developed than it is now, it would have been very difficult to protect his chastity if he wanted to stand out and get support from others.

However, he and Justin Bieber are actually fundamentally different. Bieber debuted in Europe and the United States and his influence radiates across the globe, while Shen Juan debuted in East Asia, and then relied on the power of East Asian fan circles to conquer North America, and used North America as an anchor to expand his popularity and influence in all directions.

Although both of them have reached the level of pop superstars by relying on the North American pop music market, Shen Juan does not have as many negative news about Bieber. At the same time, he also has the Asia-Pacific fan base that Bieber does not have, and the Asia-Pacific fan base is famous for its die-hard loyalty and strong support, so he was able to break the actual sales record in the streaming media era.

In other words, his Asian identity was both a constraint on his conquest of Europe and the United States, and also his greatest advantage.

After dinner, everyone went back to the house to rest.

After taking a shower, Mr. Huang went downstairs to the kitchen, and under the supervision of everyone, he made the ginger milk and milk tofu that he had promised.

There was nothing we could do. After all, Teacher Huang had just been persecuted, and we were really afraid that he might harbor resentment and secretly add fuel to the fire.

I could only watch his every move.

After finishing it, Peng Peng brought it to the living room. Teacher Huang divided it among everyone, and Zhang Tianai also brought the milk tofu to the table.

"This is a milk show~" said Huang Lei.

"It's delicious!" Teacher He praised loudly.

"It's so delicious!" After taking a bite, Zhang Zifeng followed suit.

Shen Juan saw that Peng Peng hadn't come to the table, so he asked, "Are you trying to lose weight?"

Peng Peng nodded, then sighed and shook his head. He left the living room, found an open space, and silently spread out his yoga mat to exercise.

Victoria Song was surprised: "You still practice yoga?"

"No, I'm losing weight." Peng Peng's calm tone revealed a bit of sadness. He once wanted to be a young and handsome guy, but unfortunately he found that his appearance was not competitive enough in the field of young and handsome guys. That's why he transformed himself into the comedian he is today through the show "I Want to Live Forever".

Naza asked, "Do you have to do it every day?"

He Jiong replied for him: "Yes, Xiao Juan supervises him every day."

Li Yitong praised: "You are so inspiring!"

Zhang Tianai also encouraged: "Only if you persist will it be effective!"

"So does Shen Juan usually work out in the Mushroom House? Or does he just watch others work out and doesn't do anything himself?" Nazha propped up her chin and looked at Shen Juan who was sitting right opposite her. Her eyes were a little dazed, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint and attractive blush. It seemed that he had secretly drunk a lot of wheat drinks just now.

"Xiao Juan takes time to lift weights every day, and even does a few sets of sit-ups before going to bed. He is one of the most curvaceous male artists I have ever seen in the industry." He Jiong gives Shen Juan face, but people who are familiar with him know that the compliments he gives are actually of little value.

"Do you have abdominal muscles?" Song Qian was a little curious.

"He has~" Nazha remembered it clearly.

Actually, abdominal muscles are like thunder in a sense. You can do without them, but having them will definitely add to your charm.

Anyway, as far as Shen Juan knew, several fish in his fish pond, such as Aibao who was sitting on his left and drinking ginger milk, and Nazha who was drunk in front of him, liked to sit on his abdominal muscles and rub against them before the official start of the game, making his belly sticky, wet and slippery.

"How do you know he has it?" Li Yitong felt inexplicably unhappy, so she asked this deliberately to embarrass her.

"I've seen it!" Nazha smiled foolishly.

"Ok?"

Now it's Zhang Tianai's turn to be unhappy. She looks as if everyone has seen it. Is it necessary to show off in front of the camera?
Nazha noticed the emotionless look in Shen Juan's eyes, and fearing that she wouldn't even have a chance to be a dog, she quickly changed the topic and explained, "Well, I've seen it on the Internet! Shen Juan has shown off his abdominal muscles in so many photos and MVs. Haven't you ever seen even one photo of his abdominal muscles?"

"I don't think I've ever seen it." Victoria Song was very honest.

"Then do you want me to touch it?" Shen Juan asked.

"Is it okay?" Victoria Song widened her eyes.

"Of course not."

"mean!"

"Hey, I found that the female guests who came to the Mushroom House today are all about the same age. The youngest, Nazha, was born in 92." Teacher He joined the topic.

"Teacher He, what do you mean we were all born in 92? That makes me sound really old," Nazha pouted her lips and acted coquettishly.

"Is he younger than Shen Juan?" Zhang Tianai couldn't stand Nazha's pretentious look, so she spoke out directly. "Apart from Zi Feng, who else here is younger than him?"

"Isn't that old?"

"Then aren't you older in 88?"

"What do you mean 88? I'm 90, okay?"

“Your Baidu says 90?”

"You wrote Zhang Han's ex-girlfriend on Baidu?"

"Zhang Tianai, how old is your mother this year?"

"Then let me ask you, how old is your mother this year?"

Although the staff who were fortunate enough to have experienced the scene know that the two really don't get along and really dislike each other.

But in order to prevent flower studies from flourishing in the Mushroom House, the program crew could only edit and market them into plastic sisters like Nazha and Jiang Shuying.

At this time, Teacher Huang, who had just finished defecating and making stinky tofu in the toilet and was feeling refreshed, happened to come down from upstairs.

Seeing this, He Jiong asked, "Teacher Huang, is no one using the bathroom upstairs?"

"Correct."

"Then sister can go and slowly pack up your things now, and then it will be just in time for washing later."

After Zhang Zifeng got up and went upstairs obediently, He Jiong said to everyone, "Little sister stayed up late with us and had so much fun."

"What did Zifeng shoot?" asked Victoria Song.

"Take my brother away quickly." Peng Peng spoke first.

"I also filmed my first movie with her, but she was the female lead and I played a small supporting role with not much role." Shen Juan was referring to "Our Times".

"The one from TFBOYS?"

"Correct."

"She was also involved in the Tangshan earthquake," He Jiong added.

“That’s a child star!”

Huang Lei nodded in agreement: "She is a child star, a very popular child star, and has been in the industry for twelve or thirteen years."

"At what age do you want to get married?" He Jiong started a new topic.

"I want to be early."

"How old is early?"

"As long as we meet the right one this year, we can get married next year!" Peng Peng looked quite serious when he said this.

"What about Juan Juan?"

Now even Nazha, who was a little tipsy, forced herself to perk up and pricked up her ears, waiting for Shen Juan's reply.

Although they knew that it was not realistic for Shen Juan to marry them, they still couldn't help but have some fantasy expectations.

"Before I was 30, I actually didn't think about this issue much, because I'm still too young now."

"Then you still have nine years."

"Hahaha, no rush."

"When you get to that point, you'll know how urgent it is."

Shen Juan smiled slightly and said no more.

After a while, Zhang Zifeng came down from the shower and sat down next to Peng Peng. The two of them played and joked around.

Mr. Huang and Mr. He were drinking wheat drinks and sharing life experiences with a few older women in their thirties.

Shen Juan ran upstairs in his slippers to take over the shower.

After washing for about ten minutes, we realized it was getting late, so we all prepared to go upstairs to bed.

Everyone took off their microphones, then went upstairs in their slippers one after another to take a shower or put on a facial mask before going to bed.

"Shen Juan~"

Nazha, who deliberately fell behind, suddenly made a sound, causing Shen Juan, who was about to go upstairs, to stop.

Shen Juan turned around and looked at her quietly.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Nazha couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. It was really hard to hold back a smile when looking at the person she liked.

"I'm drunk, can you help me up?"

"Can't you even walk steadily?"

"I can't stand still."

"Will I fall down the stairs?"

“You’ll fall down.”

"Then I suggest you spend the night downstairs. I can help you carry down the mattress, quilt, pillows, etc."

"If I wake up with a cold and you're willing to take care of me, then I can sleep here tonight."

Looking at this delicate little face with an intoxicating blush, cute and adorable, and a bright smile, Shen Juan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know what kind of mental illness this sister had that made her dislike a good equal relationship and instead fall in love with the feeling of being a dog chasing the moon.

But at the same time, we have to admit that it does feel good to always have people around you who care about you.

What's more, she is a top vase in the entertainment industry with extremely superior appearance.

So after Shen Juan was silent for a while, he still stretched out his right hand to give this girl who was extremely lacking in love even a little bit of care and love. Then he saw that pair of beautiful eyes curved proudly, and rushed straight over and hugged his arm tightly, making a cheerful sound like a puppy.

"I knew you wouldn't have the heart to see me fall down the stairs or catch a cold!"

"Looking at how steady your steps were when you rushed over, I doubt whether you were drunk."

Shen Juan almost pointed out openly that Nazha was pretending to be drunk tonight.

As for whether the program staff would be shocked and jaw-dropping when seeing this scene, that is none of his business.

Anyway, the debt is too much to bear!
There are so many love rumors circulating on the Internet, and so many confirmed cases of my sister-in-law, so one or two more won’t make a difference, right?
On the other hand, Nazha, whose little thoughts were easily exposed, did not feel dissatisfied. She just slightly raised her lips and said softly, seemingly complaining but actually coquettishly: "If you are willing to use even 10% of the emotional intelligence you show to others with me, I think I will be happier."

Shen Juan raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure 10% is enough?"

After hearing this question, Nazha seemed to think about it seriously, then looked into Shen Juan's eyes and gave an answer.

"If it's you, 10% is enough."

“Is 9% enough?”

"Actually, that's enough."

“What about 8%?”

"Just barely." Nazha gave in again.

"7%?"

"You can't push your luck like that!"

“But 7 is my lucky number.”

"Well, that 7% is my bottom line!"

"Okay, then I understand."

Shen Juan pondered for a moment, although he didn't quite understand why she was so obsessed with percentages.
Can such intangible things as emotions and emotional intelligence be represented by specific numbers?

But out of respect for her and his limited affection for her, he still forced a smile that appealed to both young and old.

"I have seen such a statement on the Internet, 100% is 1% companionship, 1% tolerance, 1% pampering, 1% understanding you, 1% caring, 1% missing you, 1% understanding, and the remaining 93% is trust. I will give you this 7%, and I hope you can be happy with the remaining 93%."

If someone likes you, it's because he/she sees the qualities he/she likes in you, and sometimes it has nothing to do with you personally.

Once you lose this quality, his/her love for you will quickly fade away.

So be calm when facing other people's unexpected love for you, just be yourself, and time will give the answer to every relationship.

They just stared at each other for quite a while.
Nazha, whose heart was pounding and whose thoughts had long since flown away, finally came back to her senses with great difficulty and whispered, "You are such a scumbag."

Shen Juan smiled at her, then gently pinched her rosy face, "You just knew that?"

“But I just love it!”

After Shen Juan sent the girl, who was only 7% tipsy and pretending to be drunk, back to her room, he went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

It also processes today’s unread WeChat messages.

Xiaotian shared her current situation of patrolling on Weibo, Xiaoye shared the beautiful sunset in Beijing, Xiaoxiao shared some small problems she encountered in the process of making the EP and the doubts that she needed Shen Juan's help to solve, Xiaohu sent many selfies and asked Shen Juan what style he liked.
Yang Yangjin told Shen Juan that the movie "Detective Pikachu" in which he made a guest appearance in London last year was released today.

Ms. Miao asked Shen Juan whether he wanted to buy a house in her community, because Shen Juan had mentioned before that he had almost paid social security for three years.

Jiang Peiyao said that she successfully auditioned for the second female lead in "You Are My City Fortress", and Shen Juan sent her blessings.

Zhang Jingyi sent Shen Juan some landscape photos and said that she was filming in Nanjing and the male lead was the same one in The Wandering Earth.

Wang Churan excitedly said that her contract termination documents were almost ready and she would be able to join Starlink to work for Shen Juan soon!

Zhu Xudan asked Shen Juan when he would start his domestic tour so that she could make arrangements in advance to go to the venue to support Shen Juan's performance.

Dasha Taran, Angelina, and also messages from foreign friends on Kakao, LINE, and Instagram.
There are too many messages that need to be replied to, and too many relationships that need care and maintenance.

People are just so busy.

And the other side.
Li Yitong, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, suddenly brightened up when she saw Shen Juan, and she quietly walked to his side.

There was no rush to talk. He just looked up at the moonlit night sky and silently accompanied Shen Juan who was busy with his phone.

About ten minutes later,

After Shen Juan had dealt with all the unread messages, he put his phone back into his shirt pocket and stretched himself.

He looked at the girl beside him whose hair was a little messy due to the night wind, and said with a smile: "You are so romantic!"

"Romantic? What's romantic about that? It's just about accompanying you on the balcony to enjoy the breeze, right?" Li Yitong smiled so much that her eyes curved.

Seeing the girl's cute and lovely posture, Shen Juan, whose aesthetic weakness was touched, had to admit that she was in his strike zone. At least in terms of appearance, she was definitely the type he liked. Moreover, through private contact and chats on WeChat, her personality also received high marks.

So he felt that there was no need to continue to pull and accumulate the prize pool.

"I think romance doesn't necessarily require a bouquet of flowers. It can also be someone willing to accompany another person on the balcony to enjoy the breeze, or someone who watches the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV and then spends a long time editing and revising a 200-word New Year's greeting before sending it."

"How do you know I spent so much time deleting and revising?"

Shen Juan stared at her for a moment and couldn't help laughing again, "Because when I wanted to send you a message, I saw that it showed that you were typing."

"Then why didn't you remind me?" Li Yitong blinked, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in her eyes.

"If I had sent you a message at that time, your 200-word blessing message would have been deleted."

"How do you understand me so well?"

"Is it possible that I only understand myself, and you happen to be the same as me in some aspects?"

"If that's the case, then if I like you, doesn't that mean I have a narcissistic personality?"

"So do you think you are narcissistic?"

"I think I might have a little."

"Only a little?" Shen Juan frowned deliberately.

"How much more do you want?" Li Yitong laughed angrily. Do you think I'm the Guli Nazha who is good at self-strategy?

"Let me tell you a story."

"I'm listening!"

"I was mocked by netizens for reading a book at the airport some time ago, saying that I only read the title page. To slap them in the face, I read a lot of books during that time after work. Unfortunately, no one asked me about reading anymore, so the matter was forgotten."

"It's normal that when you achieve great success in a certain field, other small things will naturally be neglected."

Shen Juan thought for a moment and continued, "But what I really want to tell you is that I read a British novel called The Moon and Sixpence. There was a sentence in it that impressed me deeply: Everyone wants the moon in the sky, but they can't see the sixpence at their feet."

"Can you explain it in a more understandable way?"

"When people pursue their ideals and dreams, they often ignore the basic needs and material foundation in real life."

"What does this have to do with our previous conversation?"

"Didn't you say at the beginning that you didn't understand why I called you romantic for no reason? Well, this is it."

Li Yitong's eyes flickered and she smiled: "So you want to say that I am the sixpence at your feet?"

Shen Juan looked at the pair of bright little crescents, smiled and shook his head, "You are both the moon and sixpence."

Li Yitong, with complicated thoughts, stood there in silence. The surroundings were so quiet that only the shallow breathing sounds of the two people and the sound of the night wind blowing gently were left.

"Shen Juan." The girl, who had made a decision in her heart, broke the quiet atmosphere between the two in a low voice.

"Ok?"

“I found that you are really good at it.”

Unexpectedly, Shen Juan just smiled and said, "If you don't know how to do that, then I can't let you become narcissistic, right?"

"You've really made me narcissistic this time, and a very, very, very narcissistic one at that." Li Yitong took advantage of the cover of night and openly revealed her feelings.

“It’s a good thing you’ve become narcissistic.”

"It's good for you."

"Not for you?"

"of course not!"

Seeing this older sister who used to look particularly mature and steady now showing her tsundere and cute side, Shen Juan couldn't help laughing out loud, but he didn't argue too much with her verbally. After all, coming out to blow dry right after taking a shower might be bad for the body and would cause catching a cold if she stayed in the wind for too long.

so.
"It's getting late. If you haven't figured out how to say goodnight to me, why not just kiss for a while!"

"Wait, there must be a chance here!" Li Yitong put her hands on her chest, trying to stop Shen Juan from approaching her.

"No, this is a blind spot."

"Really a blind spot?"
