Chapter 96 Part 2 (Ruan Yōu and Fu Jiazhan) 一 “Pass it on, Empress Ruan is very satisfied with Mr. Fu’s face!”
While the barrage was in full swing, Gu Fuchen drove onto the highway.
After half an hour, Ruan Yōu gradually woke up from her dream.
Having slept for a long time, her neck was sore. Before opening her eyes, she raised her hand and rubbed her aching neck.
The back of her hand inadvertently brushed against the person’s clothes next to her. Ruan Yōu knew it was her brother but didn’t pay much attention.
She raised both hands and stretched in a big lazy yawn, taking a deep breath to feel the beauty of waking up.
A faint warm woody smell reached her nose.
She froze for a moment.
Swiftly lifted her eyelids.
What came into view was an earth-toned, low-saturation coat, and一
Fu Jiazhan’s handsome and gentle profile.
His Adam’s apple rolled, his breath paused slightly, enduring for a while before turning his head to glance gently.
Ruan Yōu’s brain short-circuited for a second, blinking her eyes in a daze.
She rubbed her eyes with a pair of snow-white delicate hands.
Rubbed once.
And again.
Like a cute, dazed little kitten.
“It’s me,” Fu Jiazhan couldn’t help but smile, “Gu Fuchen is driving ahead.”
Gu Fuchen: “The first thing you see upon waking up isn’t your brother but this person, who is half as good-looking as me. Yōuyōu must feel disappointed, huh.”
Ruan Yōu snapped back to reality, nodded repeatedly, and shrunk her neck.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, brother is the best-looking.”
Fu Jiazhan stared at her straight.
Ruan Yōu pursed her lips, suppressing the embarrassment in her heart. She pretended to be cold, covering her ears and cheeks with a scarf, revealing only a pair of shiny apricot eyes.
Her voice tightened almost imperceptibly.
“My brother’s looks are only twice as good as yours; this is a precious compliment.”
“Mr. Rose Fu, you should cherish it,” she joked.
Gu Fuchen: “Fu Jiazhan, you shouldn’t be ungrateful.”
Fu Jiazhan smiled ambiguously, “Yes, after we go back, have someone print this compliment and hang it in the study. I’ll savor it three times a day.”
【Ah ah ah, savoring these words every day, three times a day, morning, noon, and night, is this not a confession?】
【Hint! This CP fan unilaterally declares, it must be a hint!】
【Stop being delusional, you’re all crazy! This is just a simple joke!】
Jiang Huai and Lu Jin chuckled.
“Bodhisattva Sister, how many times better am I compared to your brother?”
Ruan Yōu: “One hundred and eighty thousand times.”
Jiang Huai: ?
Lu Jin’s laughter gradually rose, “What about me, Ruan Yōu, what about me?”
Ruan Yōu: “You don’t even qualify to compare with my brother.”
Lu Jin: ?
Is it okay for him to get off from the co-pilot’s seat now?
The atmosphere inside the car was lively, and the barrage audience was also having fun.
【Spread the word, besides family, Ruan Yōu thinks President Fu is the most good-looking person!】
【Spread the word, Ruan Yōu is very satisfied with President Fu’s face!】
【Spread the word, Ruan Yōu wants to marry President Fu!】
【Spread the word, Ruan Yōu’s fans are going crazy!!】
. . . . .
No matter how noisy they were, CP fans were not too arrogant.
After all…
Under the resistance from people like Gu Fuchen, Lu Jin, Jiang Huai, and others, Fu Jiazhan didn’t dare to date Yōuyōu.
Having shipped numerous couples, they knew that most of the time it was just their imagination, but that didn’t stop them from continuing to ship.
The CP fans were ultimately only a small group of people; most of the time, the audience was busy chatting about other things in the bullet comments.
They discussed things like the friendship of the Top 8 group and getting a snowman doll or where they were going this time.
Approaching noon, they arrived at the homestay they were staying in.
The director of the show, Director Mu, gave each of them a promotional brochure.
“Starting this afternoon, our tour officially begins. There are some activities listed here; you can choose to participate or not. Just mark the ones you want to do, and in the end, we’ll tally the votes 一一 majority rules.”
There were many recreational activities mentioned.
Ruan Yōu hesitated for a moment, and chose to check off “boating,” “ancient city-themed bicycle project,” “taste local specialties,” “evening amusement park,” and “stroll through the ancient streets.”
Gu Fuchen knew that his sister liked riding bicycles, so he chose that at first glance.
As for the rest, he chose whatever Ruan Yōu chose.
Fu Jiazhan held a slender pencil at his fingertips and checked off the bicycle.
Chose boating and cycling.
Lu Xuan’s voice sounded.
“Sister Yōuyōu, what did you choose? Let me copy it.”
“Do you want to go to the amusement park?” Lu Xuan asked while copying Ruan Yōu.
Ruan Yōu nodded.
Last time, she rode the roller coaster with her brother for a short time.
This time, going together with everyone, it should feel different.
Fu Jiazhan silently checked the places Ruan Yōu wanted to go.
Handing over the small card, Director Mu smiled, “Now it’s lunchtime. There are ingredients in the fridge, and you must cook the dishes on the menu we provided. You can also choose to make other dishes yourself. After finishing all this, we will start this journey after lunch.”
Lu Jin: ?
“Don’t cook and you can’t leave? Quickly inform our parents, someone is restricting our freedom.”
Lu Xuan immediately bounced up, “Okay~!”
Director Mu helplessly said, “Alright, be understanding of our work. Just now in the car, the audience’s enthusiasm dropped by half. Now we need some challenging tasks to show the audience that heirs can’t complete everything, and make them laugh a bit.”
After the first recording session, they knew that Qi Zhiyan could cook, but only basic dishes.
This time, to increase the difficulty, they deliberately selected several dishes that Qi Zhiyan had never made before.
一一Living fish were something that the heirs of the wealthy will never deal with.
一一Have you ever tried home-style hot pot chicken with freshly processed chicken?
In short, it was quite challenging.
The production team will not back down until they have made the Top 8 group scramble and added some humor to the live broadcast.
Director Mu looked at Ruan Yōu with a sincere expression on his face.
“Ruan Yōu, for the sake of the show’s online activity and viewership, we had to do this. Only by doing this can the show’s popularity rise. If the show is successful, you, as the boss of the show’s investor, will accidentally earn another 200 million yuan. Wouldn’t that be great? We’re all working for you!”
Finally, Director Mu emphasized.
Top 8 group: ?
Ruan Yōu scratched her head.
“That makes sense.”
Fu Jiazhan unexpectedly said, “I’ll cook.”
Qi Zhiyan asked, “Can you do it alone?”
“Yeah.”
“77, take this opportunity to catch up on sleep in your room,” Ruan Yōu said.
For the live broadcast, they worked tirelessly, not getting enough rest.
Qi Zhiyan didn’t insist, and Wen Juxi quietly returned to the room.
Disappearing before the end of the stairs, Wen Juxi glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
It was strange.
The attitude with which Ruan Yōu spoke just now…
It was very much like the mistress of the Fu family (?
The feeling was like, “The master of the house was busy at home, and when the guest offered to help, the mistress casually said there was no need.”
Among them, Fu Jiazhan was the one who should have rested the most.
But…
Ruan Yōu didn’t mention it.
Either she completely ignored “Mr. Rose Fu,” or she already considered him one of her own.
After the figures of Qi Zhiyan and Wen Juxi disappeared, Lu Jin sat on the sofa, holding a tablet and reading documents.
Fu Jiazhan put down his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards the kitchen. In the middle of the way, he remembered something and turned back to take his phone from the coat.
Lu Jin, Jiang Huai, and Gu Fuchen didn’t pay any attention.
When outside, their phones were always with them.
Lu Jin smiled, “Mr. Rose Fu, can we order some dishes?”
Fu Jiazhan held the phone and walked towards the kitchen without even glancing at him, “No.”
“When did you learn to cook, and what can you cook?” Lu Jin continued to inquire.
Last time, Qi Zhiyan was the head chef. Fu Jiazhan only knew how to make tomato scrambled eggs. When did he secretly learn cooking skill?
Jiang Huai looked at the menu sent by the director.
“Lu Jin, be satisfied. Mr. Rose Fu is now busy in the kitchen making six dishes and a soup. It’s good enough if we have something to eat. Do you still want to order?”
Gu Fuchen provided a new perspective, “By doing this, he can wear out Fu Jiazhan. Your company can take advantage of the opportunity to rise.”
Jiang Huai: ?
He sneered, “Am I as despicable as you said? I am a legitimate businessman and never use such low-level tricks.”
And then, the next second一一
He turned his head:
“Mr. Rose Fu, how about adding five, six, seven, eight more dishes for us?”
The only response to him was the heavy sound of a closing door.
The kitchen door was shut.
Ruan Yōu assessed the surrounding cameras and sat on the side sofa.
Gu Fuchen: “Yōuyōu, aren’t you resting?”
Ruan Yōu shook her head.
“I slept a long time in the car just now.”
She lay on the sofa, avoiding the camera in the live broadcast room, secretly messaging the people busy in the kitchen.
【Fat Cat: Do you need help?】
【Fat Cat: Cooking six dishes and a soup can be tiring _(:3」∠)_】
In the kitchen.
Fu Jiazhan’s phone vibrated twice in his hand.
He casually surveyed the surroundings, flipping through things without much interest.
The audience and the director’s team thought he was searching for ingredients, preparing to cook.
One minute later, he was facing the camera, maintaining a posture that kept the screen of his phone out of view.
Shortly after, Ruan Yōu received two messages.
【Big Cutie: Not tired.】
【Big Cutie: Do you want to eat boneless tomato fish?】
Ruan Yōu remembered that it wasn’t on the menu; there was only braised crucian carp.
Tomato fish was her favorite dish, tangy and sweet, refreshing.
The night before, when he asked her what she liked to eat, she mentioned it unintentionally.
【Big Cutie: I’ll add an extra meal for you, okay?】
