Chapter 10: Not Going to Mingzhi Mountain

"Sisi didn't bully me. We get along well."

The smile on He Zhengxin's face froze, and he looked a little helpless. "No, Shengsheng, listen to me, Ji Sisi is just pretending, she will kill you in the future."

When he saw the look in the girl's eyes, he stopped talking abruptly, "You still don't believe me?"

Ji Shengsheng sighed slightly, not understanding why his childhood sweetheart, who had been so normal a while ago, had become like this now.

"Zhengxin, is it a bit stressful for you to learn how to manage a company, Uncle He? But since you are on this show, you should take a good rest these few days."

He Zhengxin was struck by lightning when he heard this. Shengsheng actually felt that he was crazy for that woman?
"You must be tired from the journey, right? Go and take a rest first. I'll help you cook."

The meaning was obvious, she wanted him to be quiet first.

He Zhengxin wanted to say something else, but felt that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. He took a few deep breaths and told himself not to rush things.

She can act and fool everyone for a while, but can she fool everyone for a lifetime?
Now that I've come to this show, I'm sure I can see through her hypocritical face!

【任务进度11%任务进度12%13、14%15%】

The task progress finally stopped increasing, and the system could no longer bear it and said, "Host, can you be more reserved? It's impossible for the two of you to succeed, just give up."

The system felt embarrassed to see her following the other person eagerly. Less than ten minutes after they met, the task progress increased by 5%.

But Ji Sisi seemed not to hear what it said, and even felt that since there was no possibility for the two of them, she should touch him a few more times.

[System, the results of the last inspection haven't come out yet? In the plot, He Zhengxin has never appeared in this program, right? ]

System: [.Do you want to know? ]

Ji Sisi: [Forget it, if you know there is a tiger in the mountain, don’t go there. ]

system:【.】

She reluctantly withdrew her hand that was stuck to his muscle and decided to touch it again tomorrow. But when she turned around, she almost bumped into Ji Shengsheng who was carrying a basket of vegetables.

"What are you doing here?"

Ji Sisi spoke subconsciously. How could He Zhengxin, that scumbag, let the person go unless he dragged her to say bad things about him?

Ji Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, "I learned to cook at home before, it should be no problem."

Hearing this, Ji Sisi knew that she had misunderstood her meaning, but it didn't matter, "Okay, then you make it. If it doesn't taste good, I won't forgive you!"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile, [System, I am really getting more and more familiar with the character setting of this 'evil female supporting role'. ]

System: [As long as you are happy.]

What the other masters said is right, the process is not important, as long as the hosts can complete the task safely, they will be thankful.

Of course Ji Sisi was worried about letting Ji Shengsheng cook by herself, but if she helped, her character would definitely be OOC. She could only put her hands on her hips and act picky, but in fact she was secretly giving instructions.

"Stop! What are you doing? The water in the pot hasn't even dried up yet, and you're pouring oil in?"

"Ji Shengsheng, can you cook? The dish is almost burnt."

The wood-burning stove they built themselves is definitely different from the induction cooker. It was Ji Shengsheng’s first time using it and he couldn’t operate it at all.

He Zhengxin ran over, but he was not as good as Ji Shengsheng. He couldn't even recognize all the vegetables. He could only stand by and worry anxiously.

Helplessly, Ji Sisi squatted at the fire, fiddling with the burning wood, and added, "If I let you do it alone, you won't be able to eat today. Now that I'm here to light the fire for you, you can just be happy."

"Sisi, thank you."

Ji Shengsheng cast a grateful look, his eyes sparkling in the light of the fire. On the other side, Wen Biying and Si Che were clearing the table for dinner.

In order to make things difficult for them, the production crew certainly wouldn't give them a good table. This antique was unearthed from some villager's house, with a missing leg and a bumpy and rotten table top with several holes in it.

But they had no choice but to accept it, or else they would have to squat on the ground to eat.

The director pretended not to notice the reluctant looks from the crowd and said, "It's great to give you a table."

The few people had no choice but to find some wooden boards to pad the table.

"Let me do it." Zhang Yao couldn't bear to watch it anymore and took over the task of cooking.

Compared to Ji Shengsheng, his movements could be said to be very skillful. He washed, cut, and stir-fried the vegetables all in one go. The person who was stoking the fire was so nervous that his eyes were filled with tears.

"Brother Zhang Yao, you are so awesome!" Ji Sisi said compliments on the surface, but in fact her eyes did not move away from the food at all.

Without Ji Shengsheng cooking for her, she no longer had to maintain her image as a vicious female supporting character, and she was happy and at ease.

Good man, a really good man!

Zhang Yao felt a little embarrassed after being praised continuously. If the ingredients were not limited, he could have made ten dishes and a soup.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

The food was placed on the table, and everyone who had been busy all day could finally have a hot meal.

"Who made these scrambled eggs with tomatoes? The tomatoes are all mushy."

Chi Yue, who had played with shit in the afternoon, regained his energy and held a full bowl of rice with his mouth stuffed full.

Ji Shengsheng said a little embarrassedly: "I did it. I didn't control the heat well."

How could He Zhengxin bear to see the food cooked by the girl he liked being criticized? In addition, he was angry at Ji Sisi, so he directly said: "Some people don't cook, so stop nagging so much, complaining about this and that, and go back to cook for yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table became somewhat awkward.

The remaining few people probably felt guilty and did not touch the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

One side is burnt, the other side is delicious and tasty. It is obvious which one is more popular.

Seeing that almost no one touched what she had cooked, Ji Shengsheng felt a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, a small hand picked up the mushy dish and moved it to another place, then scooped most of it into the bowl.

She looked up and met the eyes of the owner of the hand.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't look!"

The girl glared at her fiercely, with chili pepper stained on her lips.

Ji Shengsheng didn't know why, but she felt a little happy. She quickly lowered her head so that the other person wouldn't see the uncontrollable smile on her lips.

Seeing her face about to be buried in the bowl, Ji Sisi couldn't help but reflect in her heart, was it because her words were too harsh? The heroine was psychologically fragile in the early stage, otherwise she wouldn't have been physically and mentally abused by a few stinky men.

But I had already eaten all the scrambled eggs with tomatoes she made, so how could I coax her?

Ahhhh! Damn plot!

"Those who didn't cook just now, please take the initiative to wash the dishes." He Zhengxin started giving orders after finishing his meal.

He thought of himself as a young master who had invested in He's company, but he forgot that the people in front of him were all stars who had risen through the entertainment industry.

Due to the director's concealment, everyone thought that he was a newcomer like Zhang Yao. Now that he put on such a young master's attitude, no one wanted to pay attention to him.
