Ye Qiu and Xu Dai, Wen Chuan, and the others were participating in a currently popular slow TV program, where they travel and enjoy the scenery and solve their als along the way.
It sounds relaxing, but actually filming it can be quite exhausting. They had to walk continuously, collect bamboo shoots in the mountains, and catch fish in the river. It was fun, but the whole group was really worn out.
Especially Xu Dai, the girl, even though she had constant care from the regular mbers, she didn’t manage to do much other than tread on so bamboo shoots and fungi. But Ye Qiu surprised everyone.
Even the veteran mbers didn’t have a harvest as abundant as his. When he went to catch fish in the river, he almost always succeeded, as if the fish only swam towards him.
"We’re riding your coattails today," one veteran host laughed, "after so many episodes, this is the first ti we’re tasting chicken soup!"
They didn’t catch any wild chickens, and even if there were, they couldn’t catch them because they’re protected animals. They got to eat chicken because Ye Qiu caught enough fish to trade for one.
"Did you specifically learn how to cook? To make such simple ingredients taste so good?" the host asked as he drank the chicken soup, eyes gleaming at Ye Qiu, "Why don’t you beco a regular guest? I’m tired of Old Huang’s cooking."
"Hang in there," the well-regarded middle-aged artist Huang Cheng smiled at his old friend, "When I used to cook, who was it that always ate the most? But I concede, Ye’s cooking is better than mine."
As soon as he said that, the host looked at him in surprise, "Hey, it’s not easy to hear you admit that."
"It’s because Ye is truly outstanding."
"You two seniors overcomplint ," Ye Qiu said humbly, "Everyone was just hungry."
Looking at the steaming chicken soup and the golden roasted fish, Li Ge never knew Ye Qiu had such a skill!
How much didn’t she know about him? And how much had he hidden from her in the past? For years, he never once showed his cooking skills in front of her; he really could hold back!
Thinking about it made Li Ge feel a bit sad, in the end, it was because she didn’t matter.
"Here, drink so," just as she was wallowing in self-pity, a bowl of aromatic chicken soup appeared in front of her.
She looked up instinctively and saw Ye Qiu’s teasing smile, "I’ve noticed you’ve been eyeing this for a while, care to try it?"
"No, thank you. I’m not hungry." Li Ge quickly refused.
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, "Disdain my cooking skills? It’s actually quite good."
"I’m really not hungry." Despite the tempting sll, Li Ge felt no appetite, refusing once more.
"Sister Gezi, you should try it, it’s really good," Wen Chuan ca over to persuade, "You’ve been busy for a lot lately, recharge yourself, the chicken soup made by Senior Ye is really the best I’ve ever had in my life."
Even with Wen Chuan saying so, Li Ge couldn’t refuse anymore, plus deep down, she did want to try.
It’s laughable that last lifeti they were lovers for over a decade, but it’s in this life, when they’re unfamiliar with each other, that she first tastes his cooking.
The chicken soup was rich, smooth, warming her tummy, even better than she imagined.
"How is it, I told you my cooking isn’t bad!" Ye Qiu smiled at her.
"Yes, it’s the best chicken soup I’ve ever had," Li Ge admitted, yet could not feel happy.
Ye Qiu, however, was pondering. As the saying goes, to capture a person’s heart, you must first capture their stomach. It looks like his nurturing plan can be put into action.
"Great working with you, let’s et again next ti," Ye Qiu waved goodbye to Wen Chuan, and then said to Li Ge, who had a stern face, "And I hope the next ti we et, Big Agent Li gives a kindly face."
Li Ge was startled and wondered, was her day’s behavior so unusual?
"Sister Gezi, do you have sothing on your mind today? You’ve seed off all day," Wen Chuan asked curiously after Ye Qiu’s departure.
"Do I?" Li Ge was taken aback, she thought she had figured things out, yet seeing him she realized she hadn’t let go, she chuckled bitterly, why was she so useless? Wasn’t it just a man who didn’t care about her? Why can’t she get over it for two lifetis?
"Sister Gezi, are you alright?" Wen Chuan asked worriedly.
"I’m fine," Li Ge sighed, "just a small matter, it’ll pass quickly."
anwhile, Xu Dai was also looking at Ye Qiu suspiciously, "Your behavior today was strange, especially toward that small-ti agent. Do you know her? She doesn’t seem very familiar with you though!"
"Sister Xu, do you believe in love at first sight?" Ye Qiu asked with a grin.
Xu Dai widened her eyes, "Are you serious?"
"I’m never fake when it cos to emotions, Sister Xu, I’ve decided she’s the one for in this life," Ye Qiu said affirmatively.
"Just from one eting? You don’t know her," Xu Dai disagreed.
"I’ll get to know her later," Ye Qiu replied in a drifting tone, how could he not know her? He knew too much, hence he felt sorry for her today’s lost look, puzzlent, and self-mockery.
In the past life, he hesitated too much, he considered too much, and hurt her deeply. Looking back, what did virtual fa matter? Just because his fans thought no one deserved him, he didn’t reveal it?
In the end, it was his own cowardice, this life he would walk a different path, act in good dramas, and he needed to keep this person by his side.
Since that eting, Ye Qiu and Li Ge had beco busy, as if that get-together was just a dream.
Gradually, Li Ge’s heart began to let go, unaware that Ye Qiu was preparing a huge surprise for her, or perhaps it should be huge lightning, for soone who doesn’t wish to face it now.
"Boss, please guide well in the future," Ye Qiu smiled and shook hands with the middle-aged man in front.
"I should be thanking you, I didn’t expect you to choose my Sweet Orange Entertainnt over those bigger companies," Zhong Ren chuckled, like a Miro Buddha.
"Naturally, it’s because I see the company’s future and your capability, but mainly because you offer a lot of freedom. Don’t worry boss, I’ll earn good money for the company."
"I trust your skills, but let’s put the ugly words upfront, I won’t force any employee, if Li Ge doesn’t agree, there’s nothing I can do."
"No worries, I only needed a chance, rest assured boss, I’m not soone who pesters without understanding limits."
Zhong Ren smiled warmly, he genuinely didn’t expect to sign up the hotshot Ye Qiu just because his company has a small agent Ye Qiu fancied. They were indeed young, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
