Su Xia was a person who lived on meat. Each person was limited to six items each, and she had already taken three pieces of meat. After inadvertently catching sight of Xue Mingan’s expression, only then did she reluctantly take a few vegetables and chuck them into her basket with distaste.
On the other hand, Lu Jingyao had taken a combination of meat and vegetables which seemed rather healthy.
The two of them took their respective seats.
There were two chefs who came out to compete, one of them surnamed Chen and the other Li. Both of them used the same ingredients selected by Su Xia and Lu Jingyao for the competition.
They were given a total of one hour.
After admiring the chefs’ superb knife skills, Yin Na changed the subject skillfully.
“Usually, when there are two guests on a show, they are somewhat related. Let’s guess what the relationship between this episode’s guests is.”
Cheng Zhengming was the first to speak, “The Best Actor and Actress?”
Yin Na shook her head. “Nope.”
The other chefs all started chiming in.
“Good looks?”
“Popularity?”
Cheng Zhengming looked to his left and right, then suddenly came to a realization. “Could it be that the two of you are friends in private?”
“…” Smiling, Su Xia waved her hand in dismissal.
She spoke without missing a beat, “Besides that time at the gala, it’s our first time meeting today.”
Lu Jingyao also nodded.
Yin Na said, “Both of you may also guess what you have in common.”
She lifted her index finger. “As a hint, someone mentioned something similar just now.”
“Really?” Cheng Zhengming’s eyes widened. “What did we say just now?”
“No idea, haha.”
“I forgot right after speaking, I can’t remember what I said.”
The chefs also asked among themselves quizzically.
Actually, all of them definitely knew the answer; it was just that they wanted the guests to say it out themselves.
At this moment, Su Xia said, “I guess it was because that photo started trending after that.”
She added, “I’m talking about the gala I mentioned.”
That was the first time the two of them crossed paths.
Yin Na clapped her hands. “That’s right! That’s exactly it!”
She secretly glanced at the director team behind the cameras. “Our program team director is very smart; he took action the moment he saw the chance. If not for that photo, we wouldn’t have been able to invite the both of you together.”
Yin Na said, “Let’s talk about that photo. Does Jingyao know about it?”
Lu Jingyao replied, “Yes, I do.”
Su Xia’s expression remained composed and unreadable.
Yin Na continued asking, “Then what were you thinking at the time, Xiaxia?”
The photo which had trended was displayed on the large screen at the back in a timely manner. It had been zoomed in and took up the whole screen, and one could clearly see the smile on Su Xia’s lips which was as gentle as the warm winter sun.
Su Xia was completely unfazed. “I was stuck indoors filming for a ages. I hadn’t seen the world outside in quite a while, and I was fascinated by the wonderful world the day I came out…”
She continued spouting her nonsense with a straight face. “Then only did I realize that life outside the film crew was so colorful.”
Lastly, she did not forget to do a bit of secret promoting. “It was also because Jingyao was truly brilliant on stage. The song was good too; I even searched for it on purpose after that. The title track is called Fire, right? It’s really good!”
Xue Mingan behind the cameras, “…”
What in the world?
She did not forget to promote even in such a situation.
She was setting the benchmark for the fandom.
Lu Jingyao looked at her, his eyebrow muscles slightly relaxing. “Thank you.”
Su Xia smiled as her hand which was hidden under the table grasped the hem of her clothes tightly.
‘Boohoo, my idol is so handsome; what should I do!’
