Chapter 304 The First Night

"This isn't right."

Mao Nai paused for less than two seconds, already able to smell the "mixed flavors" of the food in front of her. Her eyelids twitched, and she looked at Yang Zi, who was looking in her direction: "If we're talking about respecting the elderly and caring for the young, we not only have the elderly here, but also the 'young'."

Yangzi: “?”

Damn it, you think of me with that wall lamp?!

Chino nodded: "That's true, a child is also a child."

Yangzi: “…”

Having just received "psychological counseling" from the production team, Yang Zi didn't say much. He glanced at the camera, then suddenly gave Aunt Mao a wicked smile, mixed his rice with vegetables, and started shoveling rice into his bowl.

The people around looked on in astonishment.

Chi Ye was not surprised at all—how could Teacher Yangzi miss such a good opportunity to show his face?

You guys still don't understand Yangzi at all.

"As expected of Teacher Yangzi, he'd even eat for the sake of camera history."

Sister Shang sighed inwardly. Just then, she saw Yang Zi, who had been acting "fiercely," suddenly freeze, then his expression changed, and he let out a soft cry.

"what happened?"

Shi Jin was slightly curious.

"There's..."

Yangzi looked at Aunt Mao with a distorted expression: "What did you put in there?!"

Aunt Mao was equally surprised: "I just put in rice and water..."

Tan Yue looked embarrassed: "Uh... I'm sorry, maybe it was me... I mixed up the sugar and salt, Teacher Yangzi, I'm so sorry..."

Yang Ziyue exclaimed, thinking to himself that this was not about sugar and salt at all; there was something fishy about the rice!

"Aunt Mao is quite skilled."

Ikeno watched with trepidation.

"what?"

Sister Shang asked curiously, "What do you mean? Is your cooking too... too inexperienced?"

"No."

Chi Ye pointed at the pained Yang Zi: "Look, the teacher who gave the child food has been demoted by another generation."

"He's become like a grandson teacher from eating too much."

"puff."

Sister Pliers couldn't hold back any longer. She couldn't help but glance at Chi Ye and sighed inwardly that this guy was completely indiscriminate in his dealings with friends and enemies... She really had to stay away from him when recording the show... Well... she also had to stay away from him in private.

Thinking this, Pliers quietly shifted her position, moving a little closer to Ikeno.

They feel "safe".

"Alright everyone, please don't waste food."

Director Li proactively reminded him, while also indicating that Yang Zi had a lot of screen time and it was the perfect time for his performance.

Yangzi received Director Li's "signal," remained silent for a full ten seconds before swallowing it with difficulty, and then looked at Aunt Mao with a smile: "Now that you've finished loving the young, it's time to respect the elderly."

Aunt Mao had already been startled by Yangzi's expression earlier, and now, seeing this, she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not eating it. I'm too old to eat this."

"This is all the food we have for tonight. If we don't eat, there will be no food for the rest of the night."

Director Li's voice came from behind the monitor, reminding Aunt Mao, and also reminding everyone: "We hope that all guests will respect food and avoid waste."

"You're getting better too, but this is forcing everyone to eat Shi together."

After Chi Ye finished speaking frankly, he didn't seem to mind eating at all—what did he care about? His bowl was kept very clean, with nothing but a little bit of Shi Jinwei's saliva.

Therefore, the top flow of the fault line felt that it should take the lead at this time.

Seeing that Chino was eating so casually, the others looked at each other, and could only grit their teeth and accept it.

Of course, Aunt Mao didn't touch her chopsticks, because she was indeed too old and genuinely didn't want to eat such "cheap" food. She planned to ask her assistant to cook something special for her after the show ended.

As for the production team saying there's no food tonight... are you kidding me? At her age, are they really going to let her go hungry all night?

Would the production team dare to do that?
On the other side, Zheng Chun Chun and Wang Chu Xing, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, also ate very little. The latter even trembled all over from the effort, feeling like she was being tortured every time she ate a bite.

But he's not a big star. In front of the camera, even if he doesn't want to eat anything, he has to grit his teeth and eat it.

Seeing him like this, Chi Ye sighed slightly, feeling as if he were seeing the "original owner" from back then, and looked at Aunt Mao with emotion: "It's a pity that Teacher Mao is an actress."

Aunt Mao: "?"

Although they hadn't interacted much, she knew that Ikeno was definitely up to no good.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chi Ye said, "In ancient times, you would be at least the Minister of Justice."

Everyone: "..."

"Is it really that bad?"

"Haha, I just saw it. Aunt Mao really can't cook. She probably didn't even take out the rice properly, and she even put in the wrong water in the end. Tan Yue was so nervous that she grabbed the wrong seasonings several times. I knew this dinner was going to be interesting."

The Last Supper

"@Teacher Huang, Teacher Huang's fellow enthusiasts have finally arrived. With these two heavyweight guests joining, I think Hunan TV's variety shows are no longer worth airing. It's like going to torture your mother."

"Coconut's character is truly admirable; he could eat something so awful. No wonder he's a top-notch idol!"

"??? Ikeno's fans are going too far, are they really going to exaggerate this much?"

"..."

The live stream chat was buzzing with activity, and the new show's "Last Supper" finally ended with everyone looking like they'd just died.

On the first day of "A Journey Through Flowers," the guests finished their first dinner together. The next activity was to set up their rooms, followed by their usual late-night chat, rest, and then wash up and go to bed.

But because the meeting was so harmonious today, no one was in the mood for a late-night chat. They all fled the dinner table as if their lives depended on it, and then began to decorate their own rooms.

"I'll sleep on the first floor."

After the dog cautiously circled the living room, Sister Shang said, "I like to get up at night, and I'm afraid of disturbing everyone."

Chino glanced suspiciously at the spot she had chosen, which happened to be the room closest to the kitchen: "Do you really like getting up at night that much?"

"Uh…"

Sister Shang touched her nose guiltily: "Well... I don't really like it that much, I'm just used to it."

Ikeno: "I understand."

Sister Shang: "?"

You can't make it, right?

Do you really enjoy bringing up those painful memories?
Ikeno, don't be so awful!

"Then I'll share a room with Sister Shang."

Shi Jinwei had originally planned to share a room with Shang Youshu. There are eight guests on the show, five women and three men, so the five female stars will have to sleep in two separate rooms, one for three people and the other for two.

The remaining male guests don't need to be divided; they can simply occupy one large room.

"Ikeno, which one should we choose?"

Yang Zi came downstairs and winked at Chi Ye: "I think the upstairs is nice, the lighting is great, it's perfect for reading at night."

Ikeno: "...Be normal."

"No, how long has it been since we got together? Shouldn't we talk all night long?"

After saying that, Yang Zi noticed the reserved Wang Chuxing and waved his hand: "Xiao Wang will come along too. We're all men, so there's no need to be so formal."

"Thank you, Teacher Yangzi, thank you, Brother Chi." Since the male guest had booked the upstairs room, the last large room was reserved for Aunt Mao, Zheng Changchun, and Tan Yue.

Tan Yue didn't really want to "live together" with these two big shots, but unfortunately, Sister Shang "abandoned" her, and she couldn't bring herself to live with Chi Ye... If she could, she really would like to go.

Ikeno is also her idol!

Which girl's ideal man isn't Professor Chi?
What a pity, what a pity.

Tan Yue hung her head and sighed as she walked into the room to start decorating.

"No, really, don't we have any assistants to help us?"

inside the room.

While the cameras weren't rolling, Aunt Mao and Zheng Chun Chun, who were following behind Tan Yue, started arguing with the production crew.

"Isn't your production team going a bit too far? This room is so messy, and you expect the three of us girls to clean it? How could we possibly manage?"

Zheng Chun Chun remained quiet during her last supper because she really didn't want to eat naked.

But now that the battle royale segment is over, she immediately seems to be having a fit – the room rented by the production team was clearly not cleaned properly, and everyone here is a respectable person who is used to a good life.

Take Zheng Chun Chun, for example. She didn't even give birth to her own child. It's too much to ask her to clean her own room like a housewife.

Aunt Mao nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think we should find a few boys to come over. We girls are exhausted after a long day. I see several old cabinets that are in the way and need to be moved out, but we don't have the strength for that."

A question mark slowly appeared above Director Li's head.

Before Chi Ye could even reach the top of the stairs, he turned around upon hearing the sound and carefully examined Aunt Mao for a few moments: "A 65-year-old woman?"

Aunt Mao's face darkened: "Chi Ye, since you're free, why don't you come and help us?"

"Alright, then I'll cause you some trouble."

Everyone: "..."

"Let's forget it. Brother Chi has had a long day. Sister Mao, Sister Chun Chun, I'll take care of it."

Although Tan Yue can't cook, she's obviously not someone who hasn't done chores before. Seeing that the two older women were about to argue with Chi Ye again, she quickly came over and said that she could do it all.

"...Really."

Aunt Mao couldn't help but turn her face away and return to her room. "Unconsciously," she walked under the camera and muttered, "These young artists nowadays are all so lazy. Making an old woman like me do the work... sigh."

Zheng Chun Chun understood perfectly – don't think that the two of them were just arguing with Chi Ye for no reason. There were several cameras in the living room, and the scene just now was probably broadcast live.

They know that audiences hate lazy entertainers, especially on variety shows. Their side consists of one older woman and two younger women, and Chi Ye's attitude and behavior certainly lacked "gentlemanly manners."

……

Ikeno didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the two old women, because he was now a different person than before and had too many things to do.

such as…

"There's definitely a lot of work to do."

After making his bed and moving a sofa, Ikeno put his hands on his hips and felt that the show needed someone, someone who could pull off a miracle.

"It's alright, young man, it's good to move around more."

Yang Zi lay on the bed like a patriarch, fiddling with his dzi beads: "Really, when you were my age, that was..."

"Can you stop pretending with me? I only do my own thing. You do yours yourself."

Ikeno coldly interrupted him.

Yang Zi laughed: "Hey, you underestimate me too much... I don't need you, Xiao Wang has been helping me the whole time."

Chi Ye glanced over and, sure enough, saw Wang Chuxing helping Yang Zi move his luggage.

Noticing Chi Ye's gaze, Wang Chuxing's heart skipped a beat. She quickly put down her suitcase and stammered, "Brother Chi... I wanted to help you, but it seems you don't need me... I..."

"fine."

Ikeno comforted her, "It's not too late now."

Wang Chuxing: "..."

"Haha, you're such a dog."

Yangtze Music.

Chi Yechong and Wang Chuxing waved their hands: "Just kidding, you keep busy, I'm going to make a call."

He ignored Yangzi and went to the balcony to make a phone call.

Pick up in seconds over there.

"Hey?"

"Ah."

"You should reschedule your recent schedule. I have a show coming up, could you come over?"

"..."

"What? You're not happy?"

"……No."

"Then come."

"Oh."

Hearing this familiar human-machine response, Chi Ye was a little dissatisfied: "Teacher Shi, can't you be a little more proactive and enthusiastic towards your boss? What am I doing this for? For myself? I'm doing it all for your career development."

"I know."

"Then you should reply to me more enthusiastically."

"..." On the other end, Stevie was silent for a long time. She tried to adjust her tone several times, but she still couldn't get it to be cheerful. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but her personality made it difficult for her to suddenly be lively in front of "outsiders"—especially when that person was Ikeno.

Whenever she was with Ikeno, she didn't know what to say. It seemed that she needed to muster up a lot of courage to say even one more word.

"Remember to bring plenty of food when you come...and bring your boxing gloves too, so you can protect me if anything happens, and also help me take care of a few people."

"..."

Ikeno said, displeased, "Why are you silent again?"

Steff asked seriously, "...Were you bullied?"

Upon hearing this, Ikeno immediately cursed himself for being so foul-mouthed and for joking with Stevie.

Besides, Teacher Shi, why are you so stubborn?
You should find the reason yourself!
The two exchanged a few more words, mainly Ikeno talking and Stevie saying "hmm" before hanging up.

"Is it for this summer?"

As soon as the call ended, Yangzi came over like an old eunuch: "How far have you two progressed lately? When are you planning to go public?"

Ikeno glanced at him: "You seem quite excited?"

"No, it's just that I thought I was one of your witnesses, so I should definitely give you a generous gift."

"Then get ready."

Ikeno stated frankly, "If the gift isn't substantial, I definitely won't accept it."

Yang Zi: "...This is the first time I've heard someone be so rude."

"You said it yourself, I didn't force you to give gifts."

Yang Zi cursed Chi Ye inwardly for being shameless. He paused, about to continue speaking.

"Oh dear, oh dear, someone come quick! There are cockroaches in this house! Someone come quick!"

Just then, Aunt Mao's panicked voice suddenly came from the living room: "Yangzi locked my bedroom door from the inside! Murder! Open the door!"

Chi Ye was shocked, looking at Yang Zi in front of him: "You can use shadow clones?!"
