Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Eating and Drinking Well
There’s no suspense in the competition results; the guests achieved an overwhelming victory.
Tuanzi couldn’t help but circle around Director Wang.
"The director uncle is personally grilling meat! Grilled meat!"
The other kids also gathered, the four of them seemed to be holding a mysterious ceremony, circling around the director, raising their small hands in celebration.
"Lamb skewers!"
"Beef skewers!"
"Chicken wings!"
Director Wang: "..."
This director was feeling miserable, yet as they were walking towards the granary, a staff member quietly told him, "Director, when Miaomiao and the others were circling you earlier, the expression on your face made the main live broadcast’s popularity reach a new high."
Director Wang: "..."
The staff member excitedly said, "Keep going, Director, you’re our popularity mascot now!"
Director Wang: "...Go prepare the ingredients."
What was the popularity traded for?
It was traded for his sadness and labor!
Sure enough, at noon, when Director Wang personally grilled meat and a group of guests gathered around to order food, the popularity continued to soar.
Sweating profusely, the director looked up and saw a staff member in the distance making a cheer-up gesture.
The meaning was, the popularity was even higher, Director you’re our pride!
Director Wang: "...Isn’t today Monday? Why are so many people watching the live broadcast, are they not studying diligently? Are they slacking off at work?"
Tuanzi’s mouth was greasy from eating.
She held a village-special marinated duck leg in one hand, and a freshly grilled beef skewer in the other, took a bite, chewed a few times, swallowed, and said to the three brothers, "It’s super delicious, do you want some?"
Forced to sit between Gu Wangchao and Gu Chi, the Film Emperor nodded.
"Sure, let’s have some, Director’s done hard work."
Director Wang: "...Not hard, not as hard as you."
After all, it was the final feast, the show didn’t allocate seats by groups like before.
Everyone formed a circle, the table had the village people’s specialty dishes, in the center was the director grilling meat.
After the guests freely took their seats, Liang Qiyun walked without hesitation towards the already-seated Gu Peihai.
At that moment, Gu Peihai even thought of how the marketing accounts would release their press materials.
Luckily, the two younger brothers sat on either side, and Liang Qiyun sat right next to Gu Chi.
With one person between them, Liang Qiyun still insisted on talking to him.
Not answering, the marketing accounts would say he’s impolite, not gentlemanly, playing hard to get. Answering, the marketing accounts would subtly suggest the two have mutual feelings and had started an underground romance long ago.
Gu Chi, sandwiched in the middle, smiled.
"Miaomiao is cute, right?"
Liang Qiyun, who was trying hard to talk with the Film Emperor, was stunned.
"Are you talking to me?"
Gu Chi turned to her, his eyes curved pleasantly, "Don’t you think so? I thought you liked Miaomiao that’s why you’re communicating with Brother Pei Hai, after all, you didn’t have much interaction before."
Gu Peihai: "!" Wow, didn’t expect my cousin to be so great!
The dilemma was thrown over to Liang Qiyun.
Saying she doesn’t like her is definitely a no-go, she still wants to get close. Saying she likes her, Gu Chi will definitely want to talk to her about that annoying Miaomiao next.
After weighing her options, Liang Qiyun nodded, "I like her, who wouldn’t like a flying Little Heroine?"
[Oh my, she seems so reluctant]
[What else can she do, after being asked like that, my dear Yunyun definitely needs to express it out of courtesy]
[Yes indeed, Miaomiao saved your dear Yunyun out of courtesy]
[For Miaomiao, it was just a handy thing, but Liang Qiyun deliberately didn’t mention the rescue and focused on ’the flying Little Heroine’, it’s very deliberate]
Gu Chi didn’t care about the other’s deliberateness.
Having received the answer, he smiled and said to Tuanzi not far away, "Miaomiao, Mrs. Liang said she likes you, why don’t you offer her some grilled skewers?"
Tuanzi turned her head to look at Gu Chi’s crescent eyes.
She slowly finished eating the skewers in her hands, refilled a plate, and took it over.
"Auntie, eat up, Director uncle’s skills are really good."
Liang Qiyun: "..." Who is Auntie?
She held back her disdain, used a napkin to wrap a wooden skewer, slowly picked it up, and brought it to her mouth.
Just then, a sharp pain in her wrist, the pork skewer dropped onto her white dress.
After picking apples, she specifically changed into a beautiful white dress. Now, the bodice was stained with grease.
Liang Qiyun: "..."
Tuanzi exaggeratedly shouted.
"Auntie, your clothes are dirty, quickly go change into a new one!"
Liang Qiyun suspiciously looked at her, then looked down at her wrist, there were no red marks, as if it was just suddenly sore.
At least in the eyes of the audience, she was the one who couldn’t hold the pork skewer steadily, leading to this result.
She could only get up to change her clothes.
As she left, Tuanzi and Gu Chi exchanged a smile.
Soon, Tuanzi moved a chair, placed it between Gu Chi and Liang Qiyun’s seats, and sat next to them.
"Now there’s no problem."
Tuanzi swayed her head, "Miaomiao is indeed the smartest!"
Gu Chi had a smile on his lips, "Also the one who eats the most."
He casually listed the foods Tuanzi had eaten from earlier till now.
"No wonder her cheeks are so round."
Tuanzi: (〃＞皿＜)
The little girl huffily jumped off the chair, wiped her hands, moved the chair away, squeezed in between Gu Peihai and Gu Wangchao.
"Wangchao brother, are Miaomiao’s cheeks round?"
She raised her little face, with big moist eyes staring at Gu Wangchao.
"Miaomiao isn’t a rice dumpling, how could it be round?"
The word rice dumpling was too fitting.
The cold singer’s gaze drifted before saying, "It’s just baby fat, everyone was like this when they were little, it’ll be gone when you grow up."
Tuanzi instantly felt reassured, turned her head proudly, and looked at Gu Chi, "It’s just baby fat, oh, Gu Chi brother, you need to get your eyes checked!"
Gu Chi met her eyes, suddenly pointed at his lip corner.
The little head tilted, "?"
Gu Chi smiled, "Sesame."
[Ancient Martial System: sesame from eating grilled sweet potato skins]
Tuanzi almost used her paws to wash her face.
She lowered her head, wiped with a napkin, and after cleaning it, she raised her head, pretending to be indifferent, and continued eating.
As long as she’s not embarrassed, it’s others who are embarrassed.
Eating grilled skewers with grease and sesame on them is very common, a lot of people do this, it’s not because she was eating so indulgently that she didn’t notice, Tuanzi thought righteously.
After grilling halfway, Director Wang couldn’t take it anymore and asked a staff member to grill for him.
After tidying up, he raised his juice, "Everyone, teachers, program staff, fellow villagers, everyone has worked hard!"
Everyone cooperatively raised their juice cups.
Tuanzi quickly wiped her hands, also raised her juice cup, caught a glimpse of a lovely figure walking this way, and couldn’t help but smile.
[Ancient Martial System: bad smile, who are you plotting against?]
Tuanzi’s eyes curved.
Not far away, Liang Qiyun hurried back, slipped, and sat on the ground.
She’s fine, but her freshly changed clothes got dirty again; she had to go back and change again.
Liang Qiyun: "..."
Tuanzi: (*￣︶￣)
