Chapter 223: Top Streamer Movie Emperor’s Mouth Is Poisoned
Chinatown, outside a certain shop.
Chi Ye surveyed the street, puzzled: “Why do we still need a translator in Chinatown?”
“Many are of Chinese descent and don’t speak Mandarin.”
Lu Lanxin looked tired—this whole way, she had tried every way to interact with Chi Ye, but Chi Ye just kept his head down walking, as if he had turned into a deaf-mute.
Only until they reached the destination did he speak for the first time.
Chi Ye glanced at her, then suspiciously eyed the Asian face standing in front of him.
Behind the other was a butcher shop, with big Chinese characters written on it.
“Chinese? Do you speak Chinese?”
Chi Ye tested.
The Asian face paused, then nodded.
Chi Ye still didn’t believe it: “You say Chinese doesn’t cheat Chinese!”
The Asian was dumbfounded: “?”
“Say it.”
“…Grown stupid, doesn’t cheat grown stupid.”
“Done for, it’s the accent of someone who lives very well in Japan.”
Chi Ye urgently canceled an order, turned around and walked away: “Very bad, almost got tricked.”
Lu Lanxin: “…”
He could even test this out?
Also… they’re about to shop soon, then Chi Ye will definitely help her, so… the two should interact then, right?
As for Chi Ye’s earlier statement of “only helping with translation,” Lu Lanxin scoffed—joking, with the camera here, won’t he show his “gentlemanly demeanor”?
—He didn’t show it.
Half an hour later.
Lu Lanxin carried big and small bags of ingredients in her hands, looking at Chi Ye with “teary eyes,” pretending to be delicate with an “aiya.”
Chi Ye turned back: “What’s wrong?”
“So… so heavy… I can’t carry it.”
“If you can’t carry it, carry it slowly.”
Lu Lanxin wouldn’t give up: “…Teacher Chi, can you help me?”
“No.”
Lu Lanxin: “…”
She glanced at the camera again: “Really not helping?”
“Stop looking, I’ve communicated with the director, this segment will be edited out later.”
“Edited?” Lu Lanxin was stunned: “How edited?”
Chi Ye bared his teeth: “Photoshop the stuff in your hands onto mine.”
Lu Lanxin: “…”
She suddenly laughed.
Hahaha, Chi Ye, you’re really not a thing, no wonder besides that drama queen Jin Xia, no one likes you.
Die alone then, you really have no heart at all.
How did a person like you become popular? You… you bully people too much!!
Lu Lanxin wanted to cry, thinking about having to carry all this stuff back alone, she had even started crying out loud.
…
Outside the small dwelling.
The barbecue work was proceeding in an orderly manner. Sister Shang had prepared the dipping sauce and seasonings, Sister Qianzi had prepared the skewers, Teacher Shi had long finished picking the vegetables and was now proactively helping to transport the barbecue tools.
Teacher Fang was educating Ding Zhen, teaching him over and over to sing Chinese songs.
Ding Zhen seemed to half-understand, only occasionally going “la” with a sound full of innocent flavor.
In the small woods not far away, Teacher Zhang was exhausted and panting, his old waist almost breaking, his eyes constantly glancing over here.
“Hey, Weiwei, do you think Chi Ye will help Lu Lanxin carry things?”
Sister Shang secretly picked up a grape, casually popped it into her mouth and chewed.
Mm… sour, not tasty, try eating a few more.
“Help her carry things?” Shi Jinwei was stunned, then sneered: “It’s good enough if he doesn’t ride Lu Lanxin back, still help her carry things… he’s lazier than you.”
“Can’t say me like that.” Sister Shang raised one finger and shook it: “First, I’m not lazy, second… him riding Lu Lanxin back is too ridiculous, do you think of Teacher Chi that way…”
Before she finished, she suddenly stopped, because Shi Jinwei said nothing, just pointed at Teacher Shi who was silently working.
“《Jian Ni》, he ‘rode’ Shi Daifu more than once.”
Sister Shang was speechless.
“Little… Little Shi, right?”
At that moment, Zhang Guowen really couldn’t work anymore. He had just observed that Shi Jinwei definitely couldn’t be controlled now.
Shang Youshu… pass, Ding Zhen and Fang Min… the former could be considered, but right now he just couldn’t stand people around Chi Ye.
—Chi Ye came to the program this time, just like when Huang Bo brought Wang Xun back then, wanting Shi Daifu to stay permanently?
Looking at this girl’s clear and beautiful appearance, tall figure, such long legs, and such a quiet personality… easy to bully.
He waved at Teacher Shi: “Little Shi, Little Shi.”
Teacher Shi was startled, put down the several-dozen-jin heavy large barbecue grill in her hands, her smooth forehead without a drop of sweat, almond eyes blinking: “Is… is there something?”
“Aiya, my old waist, it’s a bit unbearable, can you see if you can help uncle…”
Seeing her strength was so great, Zhang Guowen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately walked out: “Help uncle work for a bit, uncle rests, okay?”
Teacher Shi was silent for a moment, just about to speak.
“No way.”
Chi Ye’s voice suddenly rang out, he was “riding” Lu Lanxin…
He walked in front of Lu Lanxin, the Lu Lanxin behind had her body, arms, even neck covered in bags, staring hatefully at his back.
Chi Ye was oblivious, walked to Shi Daifu’s side, and scolded: “You want to agree?”
“…No.” Teacher Shi muttered a bit aggrieved: “I was going to refuse, I… I know you don’t like them.”
Chi Ye looked at her slightly surprised; to make Teacher Shi refuse to help… Zhang Guowen really failed!
“Teacher Zhang, Shi Shi doesn’t understand these things. I saw your interview before, weren’t you ‘hermiting’ these past few years? Chopping wood on the mountain every day, green mountains and clear waters, we won’t do this, afraid of messing it up.”
“…Yes, hehe.”
Zhang Guowen itched with hatred.
His impression of Chi Ye was at its worst now, he didn’t want to say more to him at all, just coldly laughed twice, then burrowed back into the small woods.
“See, the teacher is confident and knows a lot.”
Chi Ye sighed: “He really likes nature, became popular but didn’t forget his roots.”
“…”
Zhang Guowen, who could still hear him, cursed inwardly: Chi Ye, remember this, this isn’t over!
I’m not Huang Jianfeng or Yang Zi, we’ll see.
Chi Ye didn’t care about Old Man Zhang’s thoughts at all.
He “directed” Lu Lanxin to put down all the things, then stretched lazily: “Don’t say, walking back this way was really a bit tiring.”
“Riding a person is a bit tiring?”
Sister Qianzi saw Lu Lanxin tormented into this miserable state, felt inexplicably delighted inside, but still couldn’t change her sharp mouth.
Chi Ye glanced at her: “Are you Kublai Khan’s sister?”
Sister Qianzi was stunned: “What do you mean?”
“Otherwise why are you always so Kublai Khan fierce?”
Shi Jinwei: “…”
“Don’t talk to me, annoyed by you.”
Chi Ye pointed at Sister Qianzi, making Shi Jinwei’s face flush red with anger: “Won’t talk then won’t talk!”
Chi Ye ignored her, sauntered to the nearby lawn and sat down, touched his stomach: “When do we eat? Hungry.”
“Still early, wait to process the ingredients.”
Sister Shang happily popped another grape into her mouth.
Chi Ye was surprised: “You’re not hungry?”
“I ate… I’m fine.”
Chi Ye eyed the grapes she hurriedly hid, asked: “Tasty?”
Sister Shang paused, shook her head: “Not tasty.”
“Not tasty why still eat?”
“Nothing else to eat.”
Chi Ye: “…”
While the two were talking, Teacher Shi came over hugging a backpack.
“Mm…” she paused, took out a big bag of homemade sandwiches from the bag, placed it by Chi Ye’s feet: “This I made… for snacks, eat some if hungry.”
Chi Ye and Shang Youshu were stunned.
Immediately after, Sister Shang’s eyes lit up, because these homemade sandwiches… the ingredients were very generous!
And beef!
Her nose twitched, smelling the familiar taste, reached out to grab it.
But suddenly, she thought of something, awkwardly glanced at Chi Ye, withdrew her hand: “You… you eat, it’s for you.”
Seeing this, Shi Daifu quickly explained: “That… I made a lot, prepared to share with everyone.”
Saying so, she took out a lot of homemade emergency fast food.
“Wow! Shi Shi, are you an angel?”
Sister Shang wow-ed, no longer polite, took the backpack and started looking for her favorite gourmet food.
Chi Ye: “…”
He glanced at Shi Daifu: “You carried so much stuff on the road?”
“…Can’t I?”
“Not that you can’t, just… this time it’s cold, next time heat it up before giving to me.”
Shi Daifu was silent for a while, then reminded: “I just heated it for you.”
Chi Ye was displeased: “If I say it’s cold, it’s cold.”
Teacher Shi glanced at him, turned and went to do other work.
“Tasty meh, Teacher Chi, Shi Shi’s skills are good, this is made so delicious!”
Sister Shang was already “stuffing herself,” mumbling: “Awesome awesome!”
Chi Ye looked at her puffed-up cheeks, puzzled: “Weren’t you always shouting about losing weight? Can you really lose it like this?”
“The CCTV healthiest weight loss recipe I recommended to you last time, you didn’t follow it, right?”
“Uh…”
Sister Shang’s mouth stalled, guiltily swallowed what’s in her mouth: “I followed it.”
“Then? Didn’t succeed?”
Chi Ye carefully eyed her figure again… very good, very perfect, she wasn’t fat actually, just her little belly rounder than Sister Qianzi and the Empress Dowager, he judged: “Probably didn’t succeed.”
“What are you looking at, this is normal fat, normal women are like me.”
Sister Shang wasn’t angry, just emphasized she was just an “ordinary” girl, then sighed faintly: “Then… eating like that is indeed very healthy, very effective.”
“Then why didn’t you persist?”
“I persisted, I followed the recipe you gave for a while, body fat went down, little belly gone, face not oily, bowel movements smooth… cough cough, even heart got better, just one thing.”
Chi Ye puzzled: “What?”
Sister Shang lifeless: “Didn’t want to live.”
Chi Ye: “…”
“Normal humans wouldn’t eat like that, Chi Ye, life is short, if you like something, you should pursue it… anyway I can’t control my desires.”
Sister Shang said sadly in spring and autumn: “Also, Chi Ye, you’ve changed.”
Chi Ye: “?”
How did it come to me again?
“You’re popular now, unrivaled top streamer, have idol burden, no longer the Chi Ye who pooped anywhere.”
Sister Shang inexplicably sad: “You’ve successfully controlled your desires, suppressed your nature… I’m very disappointed.”
Chi Ye dumbfounded looked at her for two seconds, then said: “Can you speak human?”
“…I want gossip, can you go fight Teacher Zhang.”
Chi Ye eyed her: “You want to hear me trash others that much?”
Sister Shang pointed not far away, Teacher Fang was once again cry-laughing helplessly to Ding Zhen: “It’s ‘I’, not ‘wo’, it’s White Snake, not ‘bai~she~’! Also… don’t always la la… control your tongue…”
“You’ve seen this kind of scene before, you’d definitely roast it.”
Chi Ye looked twice, nodded: “Mazu enlightening yak spirit, Teacher Fang boundless merits.”
“Pfft.”
Sister Shang spat out a mouthful of saliva, coughing repeatedly: “You… cough cough… you… don’t just come out with it.”
“By the way, what do you think Ding Zhen’s company is thinking, forcing him into the entertainment industry.”
Chi Ye didn’t mind the water sprayed on him, just sighed: “This Brother Ding opens his mouth and it’s full of nature’s flavor, can’t they just let him go back to nature?”
Sister Shang: “…He’s quite pitiful too, but you’re right, why force into entertainment industry development?”
“Maybe to fix the BUG that yaks can’t be actors.”
“…”
“You’re too mean, tone it down, or I’m afraid of collateral damage.”
Sister Shang shivered.
“Not talking, work.”
Chi Ye saw no one helping Teacher Shi work, Zhang Guowen had long finished the firewood, Wu Yibo had been playing on his mobile phone—after everyone normally finished tasks, per rules, they should work together to make lunch.
But obviously, even Chi Ye himself rested a bit, let alone others.
Only Teacher Shi had been busy back and forth from start to finish.
Chi Ye still had a conscience, felt a bit bad, so he started calling: “Two teachers, don’t idle, come help.”
Zhang, Wu: “？!”
“What are you looking at, I’ll work too.”
The two instantly felt balanced psychologically, walked over to help.
Shi Jinwei had been hugging her arms on the side, coldly watching Chi Ye and Sister Shang chat, several times wanted to go over, but held back—why hasn’t the little assistant come out, suffocating me!
Now seeing Chi Ye busy, she also wanted to help.
“Hey, don’t move.” Chi Ye stopped her: “Don’t help and make trouble, enough tongs here, go back.”
“…Chi Ye, you… I’ll just do it!”
Sister Qianzi trembled with anger all over, if Chi Ye wouldn’t let her work, she must work.
“No brain? Then you do it, you do mine, I’ll rest.”
Seeing this, Chi Ye directly slacked off.
Shi Jinwei’s mouth gaped open.
“Weiwei, your body just recovered, don’t do heavy work, flip skewers with me, we’ll smell the charcoal together!”
Sister Shang pulled Sister Qianzi over, whispered: “He means the same as me, just didn’t say it that way.”
“I know what he means.” Sister Qianzi’s chest heaved: “But he never talks to me properly, I… I… I’m just baffled!”
Sister Shang glanced at her, gossip fire blazing inside but quickly extinguished, only “sadly” shook her head: “You’re not baffled, you’re jealous of Jin Xia.”
Shi Jinwei stunned, dumbfounded looking at Sister Shang: “Sis, you okay?”
“Sigh, I know your situation.”
Sister Shang said faintly: “In 《Top Streamer Movie Emperor Secretly Loves Me》, there’s exactly the same situation as you now, the female lead is also a top little flower from idol background, she fantasizes the top streamer movie emperor always secretly loving her, them rolling and fusing on the bed…”
“Sis, I heard the audio version of that novel, the female lead isn’t from idol background, she’s a young famous actress.”
Shi Jinwei really couldn’t hold back: “Also, can you stop always applying novels to reality, you’re a bit obsessed sis.”
Sister Shang wasn’t angry, just shook her head: “You don’t get it, sometimes novels are reality, reality is also novel.”
“I don’t get it… actually I don’t jealousy Jin Xia.” Sister Qianzi paused, unsure if habitual hard mouth or real thought: “I know where I fall short of her… not family, it’s I didn’t help Chi Ye back then… so… I know in my heart…”
Sister Shang surprised looking at her: “You…”
“So I envy you sis, feels like you’re really so relaxed, like you never have worries.”
Sister Shang stunned for half a day, suddenly emo exploded: “Who says I have no worries!”
“Ah?”
Shi Jinwei puzzled: “What’s your worry? Don’t you have everything?”
“What do I have? Just this damn fat that’s hard to lose…” Sister Shang was halfway fragrant, then stopped, because she saw the messy surroundings, in this small mountain ditch, they were “isolated from the world,” even starting fire needed “drill wood for fire.”
How tragic is this?
But, on the distant horizon, there was another brilliant red sun intoxicating to the heart.
So…
“Weiwei wait, I’ll post Moments first… then we’ll talk worries in detail.”
Shi Jinwei watched Sister Shang kuku self-shoot a bunch, messed up in the wind—talk worries in detail?
My worries?!
